"Whoosh!"
Three men flew over from the mountains to the west of a city called the Garden City. The man at the front had snow-white hair with a sword carried on his back and a Ghost Mask covering his face. The man behind him was strongly-built like a human-shaped beast. Who else could they be but Ming Yu and Yu Huashen?
Du Ran was following him. The three of them had been searching in the wildness without resting for one bit, and they immediately teleported to the Garden City after receiving the news. They flew to where the source of the news came from at once.
The three of them flew on their Bead of Life. Soon, they saw several warrior sitting on the ground with their legs crossed, tending to their wounds. They were all wounded by Lu Li.
"Where did he go?"
Du Ran asked from a distance. The warriors on the ground pointed to the southwest and said, "That way."
The three went on without any pause. They saw many wounded warriors along the way. Upon knowing that they were smashed by the coffin swung by Lu Li, the three became worried.
Lu Li always knew the proper limits of his actions. He wouldn’t do anything so rashly. Since he was smashing people with the coffin, it must not be his own doing. In other words, Lu Li might have lost his mind…
"Go on!"
The three sped up a bit. They were all seized with worry and concern. Another hour had passed when they finally caught up with the four warriors of the Eternal Realm.
"Where is he?"
Du Ran shouted from afar. The four warriors of the Eternal Realm looked at Du Ran and stopped. One of them said apologetically, "We…lost him!"
"Lost him? What are you? Fatheads?"
Du Ran was fuming with rage. How fast could Lu Li be? How could they lose him?
That man blinked his eyes, feeling wronged, and explained, "Patriarch, don’t blame us. That guy is so fast and he is not slower than us. Also, he can make more than a dozen illusionary shadows that we cannot see through even with our psychic power. We couldn’t tell which one is real so we lost him…"
"How is that possible?"
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were shocked. Ming Yu knew about the Apparition Skill, but he could tell the real person from the shadows with his psychic power.
How could the four not be able to tell them apart? Lu Li was only at the Soul Pond Realm. How fast could he be? How was it possible that he was even faster than warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm?
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen asked about more information. After knowing the whole picture, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were completely stunned. They still wouldn’t buy it unless it was not the Lu Li that they knew.
"Boom~"
Hundreds of miles to the east, a huge firework lit up half of the sky. Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and Du Ran glanced over and were imbued in joy.
"Go!"
Clearly, someone of the Du Family had found Lu Li over there but could not stop him so they called for help using the signal detonator.
The three flew away on their Bead of Life. But soon, something caught their attention. The signal detonator exploded in a place hundreds of miles away from them?
So, in such a short span of time, Lu Li had covered hundreds of miles? That meant the four warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm might be telling the truth…
Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and Du Ran could not figure this out. They must catch up with Lu Li first. Even if Lu Li could be as fast as warriors of the Eternal Realm, the three of them could still catch up with him as they were 10 times as fast.
A distance of hundreds of miles was not a lot for warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. In the time for two incense sticks to burn, the three had arrived at where the signal detonator exploded. They glanced over only to see dozens of wounded warriors with no trace of Lu Li or the Coffin of the Dragon King.
Du Ran asked again, "Where did he go?"
"Don’t know…"
The warriors appeared perplexed. One of them explained, "That young man has more than a dozen shadows and he ran to all directions. We don’t know where he really went…"
"Split up!"
Ming Yu and the other two dared not to stay long. Lu Li couldn’t be where they came so they could take the other three directions respectively.
Ming Yu flew to the south and Yu Huashen went to the west while Du Ran took another direction. They figured no matter how fast Lu Li was, they must be able to find him.
However…
They had covered hundreds of miles each but found no clue. Scouts along the way were wounded. They all thought that he had gone the wrong way so they changed courses and went on.
Four hours later, the three of them met in a city. Since they couldn’t find Lu Li in four hours, they must have lost him. They wanted to go back to the cities and pry into some information.
Not only the three of them!
The Chief Patriarch of the Du Family came with more than a dozen warriors of the Noble Lord Realm but they found nothing. Lu Li vanished once again.
This was too odd, so odd that patriarchs of the Du Family could not comprehend, not to mention the other regular warriors.
For so many years at the Central Plains, nothing so strange had happened. However, someone did speculate that there was some evil beings in the Coffin of the Dragon King. Otherwise, how could it have avoided the search of so many warriors and disappear?
It was morning. The news spread to all cities and tribes within an area with a radius of millions of miles and the news grew more and more iffy.
Some people were saying that a young man carrying coffins had come from the Northern Desert. He had come from the entrance to the nether world. He was about to demonize every one of the Central Plains so it could become a paradise for demons…
Du Family had no other means but to keep on sending out information. All the warriors from all the families in a region controlled by the Du Family had gone out to look for Lu Li all over the place.
A whole morning had passed with no new information. Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and Du Ran had teleported back to the Dan City to wait so they could be teleported over once got any news.
Tens of thousands of warriors flew out from many cities, looking for Lu Li all over the mountains and plains. Many warriors had signal detonators or jade talismans. They could send out the information as soon as they saw the coffin or Lu Li.
Du Family Patriarch had sent out orders that this thing could not be learned by any other families outside their territory. Once the other families got curious and sent over more powerful warriors, the situation could only worsen.
Qin Family had backed out and they didn’t take any more moves. This was the Du Family’s territory. They knew that they had lost their chance when they couldn’t take the coffin when they found it.
Ming Yu, Yu Huashen and patriarchs of the Du Family spent their morning in agitation. No news. Every one of them was on pins and needles. Every second of every minute was painful for them.
By the afternoon!
Finally there was some news, a piece of news that surprised every patriarch of the Du Family. It said that Lu Li and the coffin were at the Stream City.
Ming Yu noticed Du Ran looked awful. He asked, "Where is the Stream City?"
"Southeast!"
Du Ran said with surprise and disbelief, "If we go any further, we will be out of the Du Family territory. It belongs to the Qin Family. There is a distance of tens of millions of miles between the Garden City and the Stream City. It will take us half a day to cover the distance even if we are at our top speed. How did Young Master Lu do it? No warrior along the way was alarmed? Extremely odd."
"Qin Family territory?"
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu flew out at once and got into the Teleportation Formation as soon as they could.
Lu Li would be not attacked at the Du Family territory, but he would be in danger at the Qin Family territory!
