“Restricted area?”

Lu Li was astounded. He recalled the mark on the map and was sure that this was the entrance to the Central Imperial Universe. He decided to risk it. Cupping his fists to salute, he said, “It is an honor to meet you. I want to go to the Central Imperial Universe.”

“Buzzing!”

The space in front of Lu Li vibrated as an old man in a black robe showed up. He looked at Lu Li and asked, “Who are you and why are you trying to enter our Central Imperial Universe?”

In a split of a second, Lu Li had made up his mind about his answer. He bowed and said, “I am Lu Li and I was born in the Central Imperial Universe. I was brought here when I was three, and today, I hope I can go back to the Central Imperial Universe.”

“Oh?”

The old warrior’s winked face twitched. He asked another question, “Who took you away? Where is your hometown?”

“I don’t know!”

Lu Li gave a vague reply, “That old warrior never talks about himself, and he only tells me to cultivate and run errands for him. I cannot remember the exact location of my hometown, but I do think it is at the Leng River.”

Lu Li learned from the map of the Central Imperial Universe that the Leng River was famous, and it was in the territory of the Leng Dynasty. This part of the answer was figured out early on.

“Who gave you the Zen Bead you are wearing?”

Looking at the Buddhist prayer bead on Lu Li’s neck, the old warrior asked. Lu Li gave a natural reply, “My master gave it to me. He told me that he was going to the Prison of Darkness for adventure and that he might not come back so he asked me to go back to the Central Imperial Universe by myself.”

“Alright…”

The old warrior was content with Lu Li’s reply. He nodded and said, “Come with me.”

“Phew, phew~”

Lu Li breathed in relief. Finally, he had made it. It looked like Leng Wuxin’s Zen Bead had done him great help. This Zen Bead must have been made in the Central Imperial Universe or else the old warrior would not trust it so much. It was even possible that the Blood Emperor was once from the Central Imperial Universe as well.

Lu Li was walking into the cave with the old warrior when he heard some noises piercing through the sky from afar. Three bronze chariots whooshed over.

The old man stopped and looked outside. Lu Li stayed behind him with respect. He dropped his eyes and lowered his head, acting like an honest man.

“Eh?”

But soon, Lu Li’s expressions changed. In the three chariots… was an old acquaintance, Leng Wuxue!

“Sht, sht, sh*t!”

One could not avoid his enemy. Lu Li cursed silently. He could not change his appearance right under the nose of the old warrior with Shrink Skill. He had to stay on the side quietly. In his head, he was going through ways that he could cope with this emergency.

“Whoosh~”

The three chariots rushed over. On them were more than a dozen young masters and young ladies in elegant robes. Leng Wuxue was on one of the chariot followed by four people. Lu Li was now sure that Leng Wuxue’s status was not low indeed.

The chariot vanished at the entrance to the cave. The young masters and young ladies flew down and walked into the cave in strides. They didn’t make any pause, and they all seemed to be in a hurry.

“You cannot see me. You cannot see me!”

Lu Li was deceiving himself. Several psychic powers scanned over him. When he felt one of them came to a pause, he couldn’t help but feel anguished.

“It is you?”

Without surprise, Leng Wuxue showed a strong murderous intent toward Lu Li. Because of Leng Wuxue, his hurrying travel companions stopped. They all looked over to Lu Li.

“Young Master Xue, you know him? He is at the Noble Lord Realm? How can he be in the Prison of Gold?”

One of the young masters made a remark in curiosity. Leng Wuxue looked awful. He didn’t answer the question but stared at Lu Li with hesitation.

Lu Li stayed composed even though he was burning inside with anxiety. He turned to Leng Wuxue and said indifferently, “Young Master Leng, here we meet again. What a coincidence.”

“Hmm!”

Leng Wuxue snorted, but he didn’t dare to say anything or do anything. He was frightened by Yin Qingsi’s words. As of this moment, he had no idea who the Blood Emperor was. All he learned was that Lu Li’s master was an incredibly strong senior warrior.

It was utterly easy to kill Lu Li with more than a dozen companions when they were already on the territory of the Central Imperial Universe.

That being said, he didn’t have the guts. On the other hand, he didn’t want to embarrass himself again by admitting so. He was scared away by Yin Qingsi. Lu Li, a Noble Lord Realm, had brought disgrace to him. It was within reason that Leng Wuxue felt offended.

Leng Wuxue stared at Lu Li in gloom but still uttered no words. One of the other young masters felt agitated. He squinted at Lu Li and said, “Who is this punk? Young Master Xue, is it not convenient for you to deal with him? If so, how about we do it so you can vent your anger?”

Leng Wuxue looked at that young master with aspiration, and yet he found it hard to make up his mind. He was afraid that everything would spiral out of control, and he would be implicated.

The old warrior guarding the entrance said nothing. There were three of them protecting the entrance, and this was their sole mission. As… for everything else, they wouldn’t concern themselves about those. He wouldn’t give a second look even when Lu Li was murdered.

The young masters weren’t idiots. They didn’t press on when Leng Wuxue said nothing. Only one of them said impatiently, “Are we leaving or not? There is nothing to see. He is merely at the Noble Lord Realm. Kill him if you are mad at him. What are you dawdling about?”

Finally, Leng Wuxue opened his mouth. He said with sarcasm, “I heard this punk’s master is really something. I don’t have the guts to kill him. Qi Qin, his master is a man even you don’t want to mess up with. Let’s go.”

“Really?”

Leng Wuxue’s words irritated the young man named Qi Qin. He stared at Lu Li with evident pride and cruelty in his eyes and said coldly, “What can happen? He is only at the Noble Lord Realm. Am I really going to be in trouble by killing him?”

“Qi Qin? Prince of the Qi Dynasty?”

Lu Li swore at Leng Wuxue’s sinister scheme. Leng Wuxue was surely no stranger in making a third party the instrument of a crime.

Lu Li tried to work on a way out. Now that Leng Wuxue was here, he could no longer conceal the fact that he was an apprentice of Blood Emperor. Qi Qin might make a move at any minute now. Lu Li made up his mind. He took out the Token of the Blood Emperor from his ring, raised it high, and said, “Young Master Qi, if you dare to take actions against me, you are messing with forces you have no idea of.”

“What?”

The old man’s eyes glowed as he looked at the Token of the Blood Emperor. There was a trace of terror in his eyes as well. The young masters and young ladies found that the Token of the Blood Emperor was special, but they were no less confused. They must have never heard of the Token of the Blood Emperor, so their status in their families was not high enough.

Qi Qin was born in a distinguished household, so he was smart. He turned to the old warrior and asked, “Lord Long, whose token is this?”

The old warrior looked away from the token, waved to Qi Qin, and said, “Young Master Qi, go back now.”

The old man didn’t say much, but he had made himself clear. Qi Qin could not afford to offend the Blood Emperor. Qi Qin was obviously terrified. He gave Leng Wuxue a hard glance, blaming Leng Wuxue for setting him up.

Qi Qin was a man with a simple character. He cupped his fists toward Lu Li and then walked in with the others. The other young masters and young ladies gave Lu Li a look and then left.

Leng Wuxue touched his nose in embarrassment. He was about to go in when suddenly Lu Li said, “Wait. Leng Wuxue, you think you can go like this?”

There were four with Leng Wuxue, and all five were scared by Lu Li’s words. Leng Wuxue turned back and said coldly, “What do you want?”

“What do I want?”

Lu Li gazed at Leng Wuxue arrogantly and said, “You almost killed me during my last cultivation. Do you suppose I can let it go? I am not going to lie to you. I am going to the Central Imperial Universe so I can ask for justice from the Leng Family. Do you want to break your own leg, or do you want me to go to your father so he can do that for you?”

Leng Wuxue and the others were greatly terrified. They were burning with the desire to take Lu Li’s life.

The few people looked at Lu Li like he was a crazy man. How could a Noble Lord Realm warrior be so impudent in front of a bunch of Human Sovereign Realm warriors?
