Lu Li was only 300 feet away from Leng Wuxin, and he was encircled by Feather Wind. Leng Wuxin might be plotting against him, but he was not scared at all.
He sat down with his legs crossed and tried to sense Leng Wuxin’s soul through the spiritual connection built via the soul seed.
The Feather Wind around Leng Wuxin had come to a stop. She was in a state of prostration, breathing heavily on the ground. She tried her best to take out some top-level soul-nurturing pellets and consumed them. Then, she sat up to cultivate.
From the soul seed spread out tens of thousands of strands of energy which had started to gnaw away the energy in Leng Wuxin’s Soul Pond. The soul seed grew stronger and started to integrate with Leng Wuxin’s Soul. Once the process was complete, not even god could help Leng Wuxin unless Lu Li called back the soul seed in person.
Leng Wuxin discerned no danger. All she felt was something strange in her soul, but she could not tell what that was. The tiny strands of energy from the soul seed couldn’t even be detected by psychic power. The soul seed was identity to the soul energy in Leng Wuxin’s Soul Pond. That was why the Soul Snatching Skill was so appalling.
Leng Wuxin sat for a while to rest. Then, she began to check on her own Soul Pond. She had the weird feeling that many bugs had sneaked into her Soul Pond and they were biting through it.
“Um…”
Soon, she realized what was wrong. She found that her Soul Pond was crowded with a type of “energy” she couldn’t control. That energy was merging with her own soul energy, but the former was growing and was about to take up her soul completely.
“What the hell is that?”
She was shivering in fear. She tried to use expel the strange energy, but it was wreaking havoc in her soul like many a viper. The energy was everywhere, and there was nothing she could do, not unless she would blast her Soul Pond.
“I am done!”
Leng Wuxin was frightened. She had a faint notion of what had happened. The strange energy was going to occupy her soul soon, and in the end, the energy would take control of her soul. In other words, Lu Li could control her soul at any time he wanted. He could ask her to walk outside naked, and she wouldn’t be able to say no.
“Should I end my own life?”
Leng Wuxin was faced with only two possibilities. Either she exploded her Soul Pond and committed suicide right away or she would have to become Lu Li’s slave and be controlled by him for the rest of her life.
Leng Wuxin was wrestling with herself. Girls tend to be wishy-washy sometimes. At the critical moment, Leng Wuxin wasn’t able to persuade herself to commit suicide. She believed that Lu Li would be taken down as soon as they returned from the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. When he was killed, her family might think of a way to save her. So, she had not been able to make up her mind.
While she was still hesitating, the soul seed had already taken roots and spouted. Most of her Soul Pond was occupied and the soul seed now could control her soul. As of this moment, she felt a strong connection to Lu Li spiritually.
“That is very good!”
Lu Li grinned. He had discovered the spiritual link to her as well. He could no control Leng Wuxin’s soul. He prepared a mental order to her, “Undress your shirt!”
Leng Wuxin was embarrassed, but she could not control her own soul to do otherwise. She found her hands involuntarily moving up to her blouse. She unbuttoned it, and her beautiful collarbone was revealed.
“Alright now!”
Lu Li didn’t really want to harass Leng Wuxin. He was just trying to confirm if he really had her in control. He grinned with satisfaction and thought of another order, “Okay, tend to your injuries now.”
Lu Li moved the Feather Wind away from Leng Wuxin so her soul wouldn’t be under constant attack. However, her soul had already been seriously damaged and it would take her some time to recover.
While Leng Wuxin sat there to take care of herself, Lu Li sat down again to think about his ways of moving forward.
He had more than six months left in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God!
In over six months, he would be teleported back to the castle in the mountains to the north of the City of Leng. Leng Family powerful warriors would be gathered there, and Lu Li would be unable to escape.
He had Leng Wuxin’s life in control. That being said, the Leng Family wouldn’t sweat over it. Girls in major families were commodities. Leng Wushang was the future crown prince, and the Leng Family wouldn’t compromise just for the sake of Leng Wuxin.
“What should I do?”
Lu Li spent much time deliberating about it, but he realized he had reached a dead end again. This was yet another conundrum for him. An entire day had passed, but he came to no solution.
No amount of trick would help him when faced with the absolute power of the Leng Family. Not even the Blood Emperor could fight against the Leng Family. Lu Li thought to himself that he should have just left Leng Wushang in the wind cave to run its own course instead of killing him…
However, he did kill him. Remorse was meaningless at this point.
Lu Li checked Leng Wuxin’s soul. It had recovered to some extent. He woke her up and asked, “Leng Wuxin, what is the deal with Print Stone?”
Leng Wuxin opened her eyes. She shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “That is a precious stone. The outstanding ones in major families usually have it. Father has learned that it is you that killed Leng Wushang. There is nothing you can do about it. They will end you as soon as you go back.”
Lu Li frowned and asked, “There is really no other way? Can we teleport to other locations? When our time here is up, do we have to go back to the Central Imperial Universe?”
“Yes!”
She said indifferently, “You will be teleported to the place you come in from automatically. This is a fact that cannot be changed.”
“Is it possible not to be teleported out?” Lu Li had another idea.
Leng Wuxin shook her head and said, “How can it be possible? Only if you can change the Teleportation Formation here. It has automatic settings in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God…”
“Then think!”
Lu Li said fiercely, “If you cannot find a way, I will kill you before we teleport out.”
Leng Wuxin didn’t dare to talk back. Her response was silence. There was nothing she could do. There must be at least 10 Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the mountain to the north of the City of Leng. Not even the Blood Emperor could save Lu Li now.
“Blood Emperor?”
Thinking of him, Leng Wuxin had an idea. She said, “Lu Li, don’t you have the Token of the Blood Emperor? Try and crush it. See if you can contact the Blood Emperor. If he is willing to save you…there may be a chance for you to survive.”
Lu Li didn’t take out the Token of the Blood Emperor rashly. He sunk into deep thoughts. He decided that he must find other ways first. When it came to the last month and there was no other alternative, he would crush the Token of the Blood Emperor then.
“Change the Inhibition Formation in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God?”
This was another possibility. If he could really make it work, it was possible for him to be teleported to other places. He could escape back to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos from another universe. Apart from Leng Wuxin, nobody else knew he was from the Heaven Reverse Universe under the Inferno.
He didn’t think the Leng Family would chase him back to the Heaven Reverse Universe once he returned. Worst came to worst, he could destroy the passage connecting the Deserted World and the Inferno.
“How can I adjust the Teleportation Formations in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God?”
It seemed to be a much more difficult choice than to escape from the encirclement of Leng Family’s powerful warriors. The entire Forbidden Ground of Elder God was created and refined by Emperor Heng. The Inhibition Formations set by a real immortal were not so easily changed. Unless… he could find the core that controlled the Forbidden Ground of Elder God!
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The blasting noise coming from the opening of the cave brought Lu Li back to reality. He had been alerted by the noise many times previously, but he didn’t really mind. At the moment, he felt that those at the opening digging tunnels were not far away. They might only be two miles away.
“Hmm!”
Killing intent rose high in Lu Li’s eyes. He could manipulate Feather Wind, and he was not scared of the two Earth Immortal Realm warriors out there. The fact that Jun Family was at his heels and that they had vowed to kill Lu Li and the others had antagonized Lu Li.
“Buzzing!”
Lu Li took out a white Quasi Relic armor. He decided to use Leng Wushang’s Quasi Relic armor and then go out and enjoy his time with Jun Mengchen and the Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Jun Family.
