Chapter 213: Go There as Open as the Day

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Two miles beneath the Thousand-island Lake, two people were moving fast forward like two fish. Underneath their feet, there was a seven-colored Fate Wheel. It was a hunchbacked elder and a cyan-robed young man.

Needless to say, it was Lu Li and Hunchback Tian. After they left the Blood Evil Island, Lu Li asked Hunchback Tian to go underwater. It might be slower, but it would be more concealed and safer.

When Fate Wheel was used to fly, its speed was not slower than Bai Xiashuang’s violet-gold chariot. The resistance in the water wouldn’t make much difference. There were many Xuan Beasts in the lake, but they were all low rank ones. As soon as Hunchback Tian released his qi and energy, none of the Xuan Beasts dared to move closer.

Lu Li was acting out of impulse this time, for sure, yet he hadn’t lost his mind completely. He clearly understood that the biggest threat to him now was the Yu Family, which meant that he provide a lot of effort in concealing himself. The Yu Family could not find his whereabouts.

Of course…

Lu Li had considered the possibility that this was a trap deployed by the Yu Family. Still, he proceeded without hesitation.

Many things in the course of one’s life must be taken care of, even at the expense of one’s life. For example, Lu Li wanting to collect the bones of his grandpa and bury the body of his Sixth Granduncle. Lu Li could not have one moment of peace in his mind if he didn’t do this. It would be even more miserable than death itself.

Lu Ling had taught Lu Li many principles since he was young, among which filial piety was the most crucial one. Even though he never saw his parents, Lu Li was never mad at them.

Without his parents, he wouldn’t be born. Without his grandpa, who was his closet kin, his mother wouldn’t exist. At this moment, grandpa’s body and bones were dug out and scattered around in the wild.

It was one thing if Lu Li was not in the know of this, but now that he knew, he would be the most unfilial person in the world if he didn’t do something. Lu Ling wouldn’t regard him as her brother anymore if she knew. If his mother was still alive, how could he face her?

Lu Ling had been telling him that a man should be worthy of his name, be of indomitable spirit, sticking to his principles, and never waiver in important issues. Knowingly doing something at the risk of one’s life would make a real man, a man of indomitable spirit.

Therefore, Lu Li never hesitated. He said nothing along the way, being absorbed in the thoughts of how to arrive at the Wu Ling County secretly without being found by the scouts of the Yu Family.

How should he cope with it if this was a trap of the Yu Family?

Lu Ling had told him that he could not give up even if the matter was close to impossible to be dealt with. The situation now was not yet the worst. Lu Li, of course, had to keep on thinking, planning ahead to reduce the possibilities of dangers to the lowest level. Nobody would like to die. He had too many things waiting for him to do.

Lu Li could stay under water for one hour using his Xuan Energy. Every one hour, he would have to go out and breathe. Hunchback Tian could hold his breath for much longer.

When Lu Li went out to breath again, he asked Hunchback Tian, "Do you have any good plans for us to arrive at the Wu Ling County secretly without being discovered by the Yu Family?"

Hunchback Tian had been pondering about this along the way as well. Now that he could not refuse orders from Lu Li, naturally, he would spend some time in deliberating the matter to live.

Hunchback Tian said seriously, "Taking detours. Let’s take a detour before entering the Wu Ling County. At the same time, we need to take some forms of disguise. I can use Shrinking Skill to change my appearances. Master, you can find some dye to change the color of your hair and use some disguise. Then it will be less likely for us to be discovered. Of course… this can only work if this is not the conspiracy of the Yu Family. Otherwise, we will still fall into their trap no matter how many methods we can devise. Eventually, we still have to go to the Wu Ling County."

"Well, let’s do as you said. Let’s go!"

Lu Li pretended that he didn’t hear Hunchback Tian’s last few sentences. He said one more thing before going underwater again, "If it proves to be an impossible matter and the Yu Family send out warriors of the Eternal Realm, you go. I will dissolve the imprints in the jade talisman at once."

"Thank you, Master!"

Dissolving the imprints in the jade talisman would lead to the death of the Soul Worms in Hunchback Tian’s head and consequently his freedom. Hunchback Tian’s chance of living was greatly enhanced in this way.

The Blood Evil Island was located at the northwestern side of the Thousand-island Lake. Leaving the Thousand-island Lake on a boat would take two days. The speed of the battleships were not fast enough. The speed of a Fate Wheel was more than 10 times faster than that of a battleship. In just another two hours, Lu Li and Hunchback Tian had went ashore.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Hunchback Tian went around and explored, making sure nobody was around. Then his bones started cracking. His back straightened up, making him look taller, and the bones on his faces were raised higher. He looked like a completely different person.

"Shrinking Skill? So wonderful! Can I learn it?"

Lu Li’s mind was broadened. He looked at Hunchback Tian with eagerness. If he could learn this, they could even swagger their way to the Wu Ling County.

"You can but it will take some time!"

Hunchback Tian said with a wry smile, "I got this ancient secret skill from a historical site. It took three years of learning for me to master it. I know, Master, that you are smart, but you still need one or two years…"

"Never mind."

Lu Li waved his hand in disappointment. Then he took out a black robe from his Interspatial Ring and got changed. He covered up his face and head with a piece of black cloth, leaving only his eyes unveiled. Then he asked, "How should we go now? Taking Fate Wheel?"

"…"

Hunchback Tian touched his nose, not sure how to respond. "We will be discovered in less than half a day if we go in directly. We must stay in the wilderness without approaching any cities. I will carry you."

"Okay!"

Hunchback Tian had reached the Fate Wheel Realm, so his soul was very powerful, which granted him with powerful perception. He could easily find low rank scouts. Being carried by him would be faster and safer.

Hunchback Tian grabbed Lu Li in his hands and rushed forward in a blur. Soon, they vanished into a group of mountains.

One hour after they were gone, a purple chariot whooshed by 31 miles east to where Lu Li had went ashore.

Three young ladies were on this chariot. A stunning young lady standing in the forefront shouted after she saw the land, "Sister, we are going to be out of the Thousand-island Lake."

Bai Qiuxue smiled lightly without responding. The two had been raised inside of the Thousand-island Lake without leaving the place. Bai Qiuxue was born to be a restless soul, and on top of that, she was sneaking out this time. She felt exhilarating and pleased.

On their way, they ran into three scouts of the Bai Family. The violet gold chariot flew away as soon as they encountered the first two scouts. The third one was clever enough to shout to them the message from Madam Yan.

Bai Qiuxue pretended that she didn’t hear it. Now that Lu Li felt he must do this, she felt she should do the same as some favors must be returned. If she didn’t make a move while Lu Li was in trouble, it would be against her nature.

She knew that this trip would be full of danger. Once the Yu Family were forced into a desperate situation the consequences would be beyond grave. However, compared to Lu Li, she would still be much safer. Behind Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang was the Old Man of Heaven Prison. If the Yu Family killed them, the Yu Family would face the risk of being exterminated.

"Sister, should we open the cloaking shield?"

Bai Xiashuang’s question pulled Bai Qiuxue back to reality. They were about to enter the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Bai Xiashuang would want to remain a low key.

If they flew in like this, they would be detected soon. Sneaking around was the fun part.

"No…"

Bai Qiuxue shook her head and said, "We will go just like this. We will also cross from cities to cities every now and then. We will go in a way as open as the day."
