Time went by quickly during cultivation. Soon, it had been 17 days. Since Hu Lang was taking care of everything on the way, Lu Li only came out cultivation twice to eat something and take some naps.
Hu Lang had been checking with psychic power along the way but that yielded nothing. He didn’t find Little White. Now, Lu Li’s only hope was at the Island of Tranquility. The patriarch of the Gu Family was looking after Little White. Maybe after failing to find Lu Li, the patriarch would bring Little White to Island of Tranquility to wait for them.
They were getting closer to the Island of Tranquility. Lu Li felt his heart pounding. Even though Little White was not his spirit beast, it weighed more value to Lu Li, like his little brother. Little White was intelligent so to Lu Li, it was just like another human being.
They were closer and closer to the island. Hu Lang had already begun to check with psychic power. He nodded and said, “The Teleportation Formation on Island of Tranquility is repaired. There are warriors from the Wei Family and a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. Oh, no, three. Qu Cheng and Hei Ni are here.”
“Where is Little White?”
Lu Li didn’t care about the Wei Family warriors or Qu Cheng. All he worried about was Little White. Hu Lang checked again with psychic power. The Island of Tranquility was large and Hu Lang wanted to make sure he get to every corner.
Hu Lang went on but Lu Li already felt anxious. It indicated at Little White was not at Island of Tranquility. Feeling the sense of urgency, Lu Li yelled to the sea serpent, “Hurry!”
The sea serpent came with wings. It whooshed on in a white blur with a flap of its wings. The octopus and the blue sea lion were right behind.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Many warriors flew up from the Island of Tranquility. In front of them stood a middle-aged Human Sovereign Realm warrior. The other warriors were staring at the three Beast Kings nervously. Two other Human Sovereign Realm warriors had controlled their qi and energy. They were Qu Cheng and Hei Ni from Lu Ling’s force.
The middle-aged Human Sovereign Realm warrior was not worried. He bowed with a smile and said, “I am Wei Zi’ang, Young Master Lu. Well…can you please let the Beast Kings stop outside the island? We have many civilians here!”
Qu Cheng and Hei Ni must have known about Lu Li getting out of danger. They only gave a slight bow and said, “State Councilor.”
Lu Li was in no mood to chat with Wei Zi’ang, Qu Cheng and Hei Ni. Lu Li used his psychic power to check the city. Soon, a dark cloud came over his face. He found neither the patriarch of the Gu Family nor Little White in the city.
Seeing that the Teleportation Formation was repaired, Lu Li waved to the three Beast Kings and said, “Off you go. I don’t need you anymore. Don’t do evil!”
The three Beast Kings were intelligent. They got excited at Lu Li’s words and then whooshed toward the north. Soon, they disappeared into the sea.
Taking out his Fate Wheel, Lu Li flew midair. He nodded to Qu Cheng and Hei Ni and then cupped his fists toward the middle-aged Human Sovereign Realm warrior and said, “Lord Wei, nice to meet you. I was looking for my beast so pardon me for lack of manner. Lord Wei, have your men seen a small white beast the size of a palm? And my man, the fourth patriarch of the Gu Family. Also…where are Gu Min, Third Young Master of Gu Family and the others?”
Wei Zi’ang frowned and answered with pity, “Gu Min and the others were dead. About your beast, I need to ask around.”
Wei Zi’ang waved to a Noble Lord Realm warrior who went instantly to check. Hu Lang and Lu Li looked at each other and the later said coldly, “Were Gu Min and the others killed by Recluse Solar Dragon?”
“I suppose so!”
Wei Zi’ang nodded and said, “The Teleportation Formation here was destroyed and all the powerful warriors in the city were killed. Gu Min was at the island where the underground palace was at. He and more than 1000 warriors of my family were all murdered!”
“So ruthless!”
Lu Li grunted, biting his teeth. Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two who came with him were all dead now. He would have to seek revenge from Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian now.
After a moment of pleasantries, the Noble Lord Realm warrior came back. He saluted Lu Li and said, “I have already asked the surviving ones on the island and our scouts. None of them saw the return of your beast nor Fourth Patriarch of the Gu Family.”
“I understand!”
Lu Li nodded and turned to Hu Lang who had finally finished sweeping the island. The latter shook his head.
“Is the thunderstorm still going on at the west?”
Lu Li asked Wei Zi’ang. If it was still ongoing, maybe Little White was still inside to cultivate.
“No.” Wei Zi’ang was sure about it and explained, “It has ceased more than 10 days ago.”
“Hu Lang, Qu Cheng and Hei Ni, let’s go and find out.”
Lu Li thought that he could go where the thunderstorm was at. What if Four Patriarch of the Gu Family was nearby with Little White? Wei Zi’ang could tell that Little White was important to Lu Li. He waved his hand and said, “Mobilize warriors in the city to spread out to find a palm-sized white beast for Young Master Lu.”
Lu Li nodded gratefully and then flew to the west with Hu Lang, Qu Cheng, and Hei Ni. Lu Li could sense that Wei Zi’ang was hoping for a deep chat but he was not in the mood.
They flew to where the thunderstorm was at quickly. Lu Li and the others searched in an area with a radius of more than 300 miles. The outcome was disappointing. They didn’t find Fourth Patriarch of the Gu Family nor Little White.
They went on and extended the search radius to more than 30,000 miles. They searched for an entire day and only went back to the City of Tranquility with disappointment at dark.
Back at the city, there was no better news. Fourth Patriarch and Little White went missing. They might be murdered or fell into the sea and were devoured by the Xuan Beasts.
“Young Master Li, don’t worry. Little White is strong and it was in the thunderstorm. Recluse Solar Dragon wouldn’t be able to kill it.”
Hu Lang comforted Lu Li and then added, “It is possible that when Fourth Patriarch of Gu Family detected something wrong, he brought Little White back to the Clouds Plains.”
Lu Li’s hope was rekindled by the prospect. The Teleportation Formation back to the Clouds Plains was repaired. They could get back to the Clouds Plains right away. If Little White was not at Clouds Plains, Lu Li could ask for someone to come over and look for it then.
Lu Li forced himself to put it together and began to talk business with Wei Zi’ang. He told Wei Zi’ang about what went down at the small island, gave him the Interspatial Ring left by Wei Yuan and said, “This is given to me by Wei Yuan. I am very sorry that he died for me. I hope you can look after his family, Lord Wei. Later, I will pay your Family Patriarch a visit to give you my thanks.”
Wei Zi’ang was devastated by the news. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry about this, Young Master Lu. Family Patriarch sent me to apologize to you. After all, you were attacked on our territory. We will let the Great Buddhist Temple know and let them judge.”
Lu Li didn’t have any wild wishes of justice. It was done by the four forces. What could the Great Buddhist Temple do without any proof?
He was worried sick about Little White so he couldn’t wait to get back. He told Wei Zi’ang to look for Little White for him and if they could find it, he would reward them.
Without staying to dine with Wei Zi’ang, Lu Li took the Teleportation Formation and left right away. Wei Family attached great importance to what had happened at the Island of Tranquility. When Wei Yuan crushed a jade talisman to inform the Wei Family, an Earth Immortal Realm warrior with knowledge of Diversion flew over right away. He arrived at the Island of Tranquility in a matter of four or five days. Otherwise, the Teleportation Formation wouldn’t have been repaired so quickly.
This time, Lu Li and the three with him were teleported to the Shining Cloud City, a coastal city at the Clouds Plains. The distance was long. Teleporting took more than half a day.
“Buzzing~”
When the group emerged in the Teleportation Formation, the first they saw was Lu Ling. She was in a white dress, as pretty as a lily. When she saw Lu Li, she felt relieved and smiled.
Her smile was beautiful enough to light up the entire Shining Cloud City. After looking at Lu Li for a while, she said gently, “You are back, thank heavens. I was ready to fight my way to the Central Plains to avenge you if you couldn’t make it.”
