“Not a seventh-rank Force!”

Yu Huashen soon made his deductions after a while. He took out a map of the Central Plains, pointed to it and said, “We are now at the northeast of the Central Plains. We are now within the territory of the Heaven’s Roar Palace, one of the twelve Royal Cities. If it was a seventh rank family chasing us, they would have taken actions by now.”

Lu Li and Ming Yu believed him. There were two seventh-rank Families affiliated to the Heaven’s Roar Palace. If either of the two families wanted to do something, they would have done it without having to consider about the Pavilion of Delicacy.

Yu Huashen thought about it and continued, “If so, it must be a sixth-rank family at the northeast side. We are not at that family’s territory, possibly. They are afraid that they will alert us so they have sent some warriors to follow us. Once we get into their territory, they will make the final move and take us down.”

Since they were now within the sphere of influence of the Heaven’s Roar Palace, sixth rank families from the north wouldn’t cross boundaries and take Lu Li. Therefore, it must be a sixth rank family at the northeast.

There were many sixth rank families at the northeast. There were nine of them, five the more than the number of sixth rank families affiliated with the Pavilion of Delicacy.

There had been two seventh-rank forces at the north of Central Plains and quite a number of sixth rank families before. However, because of the war between the two seventh-rank forces, which several sixth rank families also took part in, every party suffered from grave losses and the sixth rank Families were reduced to fifth rank ones.

It was not easy to tell which family out of the nine sixth rank families was onto them. Lu Li and the other two only learned the names of the nine sixth rank families, but not their location. If they were to teleport rashly, they would be sending themselves to death once they were in the territory of that family.

“How about…”

Lu Li said after some thoughts, “We will teleport toward the south and go to the center of the Central Plains and get to the Mystic Armor Region by way of the east?”

“Pointless!”

Yu Huashen shook his head and said, “Enemies are taking covert actions. They are resourceful but there are only three of us. Wherever we go, we will followed. We must find out who they are now.”

Yu Huashen once was the Family Patriarch of a fifth-rank family, one of the overlords of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Lu Li and Ming Yu did not have the same means and wisdom Yu Huashen had. Lu Li saw that Yu Huashen must already have a plan, so he waited in silence.

“When we leave the tavern, we must make a dash out of the city at once.”

Yu Huashen said in a low voice, “When we are out, Ming Yu, you go and hide. We will rush on. Ming Yu, you will take down whoever is following us and then we can grill the name of the family out from them.”

“Luring a snake out of its den? Alright!”

Lu Li and Ming Yu nodded. They made some disguise and walked out after they discussed it over.

As soon as they left the tavern, they went into the crowds and rushed out. When they were out of the city, they sped out. Ming Yu secretly went into a small hill to hide after he ran for about three miles. Lu Li and Yu Huashen rushed on.

“Whoosh~”

Not too long afterwards, the two scouts caught up with them. The two scouts were really skillful, admittedly. They were more powerful than scouts from the Northern Desert.

The two scouts must have cultivated some special Xuan Skills. They were fast as wind and traceless. They would take advantage of hill, trees and rocks to hide themselves. They didn’t make any noise along the way. Even though they were only at the Fate Wheel Realm, they were as fast as Eternal Realm warriors.

Ming Yu hid behind a hill. He didn’t use his psychic power. He just relied on his sensational powers. As soon as the two scouts were close enough, he released Force to contain them.

Yu Huashen had asked Ming Yu to make a move instead of him was because Ming Yu’s Force could contain warriors of low Realms. Ming Yu made a move, slapped on the scouts’ head and knocked them out. Then he chased up to Lu Li quickly, carrying the two scouts.

Yu Huashen and Lu Li were waiting for Ming Yu a couple of miles ahead. Seeing Ming Yu had caught up, Yu Huashen took Lu Li and rushed into the mountains nearby.

Yu Huashen asked Ming Yu and Lu Li to take a rest after they were deep into the mountains. Yu Huashen went out to make sure that there was no more scouts following them. After he came back, he took two pellets from his ring and fed them to the two middle-aged scouts.

“What are those?”

Lu Li looked at Yu Huashen with curiosity. Yu Huashen giggled and answered, “Soul Dying Pellets. Their soul will suffer the pain of being bitten by thousands of bugs after they take the pellets. The pain is excruciating. We use this pellets quite often at the Northern Desert to ask for information from prisoners.”

Ming Yu nodded to show that he had heard of the pellets. Yu Huashen signaled to Ming Yu to have him ready to contain the two scouts with Force to prevent them from committing suicide.

After a while, the two scouts woke up. They woke up from the pain of the Soul Dying Pellets. As soon as those two woke up, they hugged their heads and rolled around. Ming Yu released Force so that they could not move. They had to endure the pain, the pain of thousands of bugs biting their souls.

“Ah~”

Soon, the two shouted in misery. Their face was distorted. Blood spurred out from their eyes, noses, ears and mouths and they were shaking. Ming Yu continued to release Force emotionlessly. After the time for two incense sticks to burn, the two scouts were almost insane.

“Alright now!”

Yu Huashen took one of the scouts and walked over to the distance, leaving the other one for Ming Yu. Lu Li stayed with Ming Yu. Lu Li understood why Yu Huashen had done it. It was better to interrogate them separately. Anyway, they could compare the answers to see if the two scouts were lying.

Ming Yu stomped on the scout’s chest, looked at him coldly and said, “In the time for one incense stick to burn, the Soul Dying Pellet will act up again. If you do not want that pain again, then tell us the truth. Don’t try to kill yourself. You can’t with me here. ”

The scout stared at Ming Yu with hatred. He bit his teeth without saying a word. Lu Li was watching. He said, “If you don’t want to talk, your partner will talk. You are just a servant. It is meaningless to kill you or not to kill you. Of course, if you want to be tortured to death, just nod yes and we will not ask further questions. We will let the bugs bite you to death.”

The scout’s facial expressions changed a little. Lu Li said nothing for a while, but this man still made no sign of talking. Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Then give him what he wants.”

Lu Li turned around and walked over to a tree. Ming Yu made a move and this man’s bones broke bit by bit in his chest. Then Ming Yu moved his foot to the scout’s hand and broke his bones bit by bit again…

“I’ll talk, I will!” Finally, the scout could not endure it any longer. If he still kept his mouth shut, all his bones would be crushed by Ming Yu bit by bit. Lu Li was relieve to hear it. At least, he could know which family was behind this.

Before they finish with their questioning, Yu Huashen was already done.

Clearly, Yu Huashen’s methods crueler. They compared their answers and they believed they acquired the truth after making sure the information was about the same.

Lu Li and the other two were weighed down with anxiety after learning the answer. Their enemies seemed to be more powerful than they had thought.

What Yu Huashen had deduced was right. It was not a seventh-rank family that was targeting them, but a sixth rank family, the Song Family, the third most powerful family at the northeast of the Central Plains.

This family had two Human Sovereign Realm warriors, 18 at the Noble Lord Realm and five of them were at the peak. This was quite a prestigious family at the northeast of Central Plains.

The Song Family had a disciple in the Gargoyle Mountain who was saved by Lu Li. The Song Family had learned about what had happened at the Dan City. It was not only Little White that the Song Family wanted, but also the Coffin of the Dragon King and the Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals they got at the Gargoyle Mountain.

Lu Li was at the territory of the Li Family, which was not in good terms with the Song Family. The Song Family sent out scouts to follow them because it was difficult for them to make move here.

As soon as Lu Li left the Li Family territory, there would be Noble Lord Realm warriors out to kill him and Ming Yu and Yu Huashen at once.
