Chapter 218: White Crow Mountain
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
One hour had passed!
Lu Li opened his eyes and Xuan Energy glowed within him. Suddenly, he made a dash forward. What was miraculous was, the number of the images of his body kept going up, from one to two, then three to four. Eventually, there were 10 identical shadows which seemed very realistic.
It was as if at that precise moment, Lu Li had learned the trick of cloning and there were 11 Lu Li here.
But there was one thing strange about the shadows. As Lu Li was moving forward, the shadows behind him disappeared but there were more appearing in front of them. All of the shadows were so real that even Hunchback Tian couldn’t tell the real ones from the fake.
"The Xuan Skill is so awesome."
Of course, Hunchback Tian knew these were shadows. He was just exclaiming how wonderful the Apparition was. The Xuan Skill could count as a powerful one even in the heavenly world.
"Swish!"
On his way forward, Lu Li suddenly changed course and went back to circle around Hunchback Tian. Now, Hunchback Tian really couldn’t tell which ones were real as he didn’t have psychic power. He only saw Lu Li everywhere, so many of him that Hunchback Tian was getting dizzy.
When a warrior cultivated to a certain stage, a warrior could produce several phantoms, but phantoms were just phantoms, not real.
The shadows of Lu Li, however, could pass off as the genuine person. This could come very handy in a fight against a warrior with a realm lower than the Fate Wheel Realm. If his opponent could not see through which one was himself, how could the opponent make a move?
"Swish~"
Finally, Lu Li stopped in front of Hunchback Tian. The shadows behind him gradually vanished. Lu Li said with excitement all over his face, "This Xuan Skill is so good. Ha, ha. I am just getting started. If I can completely master it, I can have more than 100 shadows!"
"…"
Hunchback Tian rolled his eyes. If Lu Li really could produce more than 100 shadows, there would be a whole lot of him dancing around. Hunchback Tian then remembered that Lu Li had another Bloodline Skill that could enable him to shock and kill warriors of the Soul Pond Realm with nothing but a roar. Hunchback Tian was speechless as he thought how powerful his master was.
"Too bad he doesn’t allow me to learn it. Otherwise, I can fight against a warrior at the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm!"
Hunchback Tian sighed again. Lu Li saw that the evening was falling, so he quit chatting. Waving his hand, he said, "Let’s go. Let’s go to the White Crow Mountain near the Di Long Tribe."
Hunchback Tian nodded and carried Lu Li forward in low key. The night was quiet which made it much easier for them to be found by scouts. Once warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm were on their tails, neither of them could get out.
The Di Long Tribe was not far away, just about 30 miles from here. Hunchback Tian could get there in less than an hour at the top of his speed. He had slowed down a bit and reached the White Crow Mountain in an hour.
The mountain was familiar to Lu Li. He had been here many times since he was a kid. He had chosen this place because he knew everything about this mountain.
The mountain was three miles away from the Di Long Tribe. There was no scout here, but there would be some in the small mountains ahead.
"Little White!"
After they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Li shouted. Little White sneaked out as Lu Li said, "There must be many Red Teeth Rats inside the mountain. Control all of them and wait for my instructions."
"Squeak, squeak~"
Little White rushed into the mountain in a blur. Hunchback Tian frowned and he looked at Lu Li like his master was an idiot. Having a pet to take control of the Xuan Beasts? What else would Lu Li be excect for an idiot?
"Let’s go up!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Instead of being carried by Hunchback Tian, Lu Li quietly climbed up. Hunchback Tian followed him around in confusion and his eyes ran down the surroundings.
Lu Li felt like a fish back to water now that he was in the mountain. He knew every path here so he could easily go forward without having to think about choosing one.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Not far ahead, there came some light noises of squeaking. Hunchback Tian glanced over with coldness, and instantly, his pupils swell as if he saw ghosts.
Coming towards them like tides were countless big rats lead by Little White. Every rat was as large as a human head. The rats had black fur but red teeth.
"Master, what, what…"
Hunchback Tian pointed to Little White. Lu Li explained nothing. He glanced over Hunchback Tian and said, "Don’t ask anything you shouldn’t know."
Lu Li walked towards Little White. Hunchback Tian looked at Lu Li in a way different from before. His master was even more mysterious than he thought. Just a pet could have such wonderful powers? Even though the Red Teeth Rats were just of the First Rank, still, not everyone could control them. Could Third or Fourth Rank Xuan Beasts control them?
"Tell the Red Teeth Rats to move to every corner of the White Crow Mountain and hide. If there are any outsiders, attack at once."
Lu Li told Little White who immediately rushed back into the crowds of rats and squeaked. The Red Teeth Rats spread to all directions to carry out Little White’s orders.
"Okay~"
Lu Li looked at Hunchback Tian now and said, "I will hide here inside the mountain. You go to the outside of the tribe to see the situation. If anything happens, come back and report to me at once."
Hunchback Tian nodded. With so many rats lurking around the White Crow Mountain. Even if some scouts were to come over, Lu Li could be informed at once to run away so Hunchback Tian was not ridden with worries.
Lu Li found a cave to hide and waited in silence after Hunchback Tian left.
The only one he could rely on was the mysterious powerful warrior of the Bai Family that had been following him around. If this man was here, he could at least lure the powerful warriors of the Yu Family away, if not kill them.
…
The Yu Emperor City was quite bustling at the moment. It was said that Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were slowly flying towards the Yu Emperor City which made many people of the Yu Family burning with agitation.
Even if all the warriors of the Eternal Realm came back one after another and the Zi Family sent over two powerful warriors, their opponent this time was the Bai Family. What if the Old Man of Heaven Prison secretly followed here?
Inside the compound of the Yu Family, Yu Lun asked Yu Kun to come over as soon as the latter came back to the Yu Emperor City. Yu Huashen, Yu Lun and several other most powerful warriors of the Yu Family were in the fortress. Yu Kun reported back the information embarrassedly. Cupping his fists in front of his chest, he said, "I am sorry, please punish me as you see fit. I have received the order to come back so I dared not to disobey. However… I have allocated more than dozens of warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm to participate in the search. Hunchback Tian had just reached the Fate Wheel Realm. If our warriors could find them, they should be able to kill Lu Li."
"Idiot!"
Yu Huashen said nothing but Yu Lun stood up in anger and said, "You are not incapable. You are idiotic, so stupid! This is clearly to lure you out of your base. How can you not tell? The people you were pursuing were definitely fake. The real Lu Li and Hunchback Tian should have arrived at the Wu Ling County now."
"It is one thing that you got the wrong people!"
Yu Lun was getting more and more upset and he pointed at Yu Kun’s nose and scolded him, "How dare you relocate more than half of the warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm? I have worked so hard and you ruined everything. Idiot, idiot!"
"Ah?"
Yu Kun didn’t know how to react. He was afraid to defend even if he was condemned. Yu Huashen frowned yet said nothing. Yu Lun wondered around the hall for a while before he coldly asking, "How many warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm of the Wu Ling County did you relocate?"
"Not, not too many…"
Yu Kun answered after a thought, "I think there are 10 warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm so I called over five. Hunchback Tian just made it to the Fate Wheel Realm. The one staying in command in the Wu Ling County Yu Yang is at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm. I think it will be fine?"
"There is hope in you!"
Yu Lun exhaled in relief. There were still five warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm, and Yu Yang, who was at the peak, was there. At least, there was still hope to kill Lu Li.
Yu Lun wouldn’t forgive himself if in the end he suffered defeat on the verge of victory after he devised such a grand scheme and mobilized so many people and resources.
If Yu Kun moved all the warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm away, Yu Lun might have slapped Yu Kun away in a fit of violent rage…
