“This isn’t right!”

Soon, Lu Li noticed something. Clearly, he was being tailed. He could hear footsteps, not too far away, nor close, but they were constantly there. By the sound of it, many people were following him.

Su Zixi’s prophecy had now come true. This group evidently came with ill intentions. Lu Li was worried. He was not concerned if he was faced with only a few immortals, but it was different when the crowd was huge. He did not have the Relic armor on. Even if he did, he could still lose his life.

Now, he was still on the upper levels of the maze of mines. Many people were hurrying on and on. This group did not catch up with Lu Li for now. They must be afraid that their tracks would be leaked. They were probably waiting for Lu Li to go deeper into the mines to take action.

Lu Li walked slowly and tried to find a solution. Under the stimulus of fatal danger, his mind functioned quickly. Hundreds of ideas had sprung to his mind in an instant.

“Blood Fairy!”

Lu Li thought of one thing. He communicated with Blood Fairy through their spiritual link. Blood Fairy replied at once, “Master, I’m here!”

“How is your control over the immortal’s body? Any progress? I am in big trouble, and I need your help!” Lu Li asked.

The immortal’s body could not be let out randomly or else Lu Li could be in trouble. However, at the moment, Lu Li had no other option. He had to rely on the immortal’s body.

Blood Fairy replied, “I still don’t have full mastery of the formation inside the immortal’s body. But… compared with before, the immortal’s body’s abilities have been elevated by at least thirty times.”

“Thirty times? Good enough!”

Lu Li’s eyes glowed. The immortal’s body was already strong and in the old days, he could compare to the Deaf Taoist. Now that the immortal’s body was thirty times stronger, he should be able to defeat the average immortals.

“Well done!”

Lu Li said. “Once I let you out, start killing at once. Do not let any single one run away or all of us will be in big trouble.”

The Blood Fairy had controlled part of the formation in the immortal’s body to improve his abilities. Lu Li’s confidence was boosted. With no further concern, Lu Li dashed into the depth of the mine.

As soon as he sped up, the ones following him hurried on as well. Lu Li listened to the footsteps closely. There were two groups of people? Five were following him closely and then another dozen behind those five.

As he rushed on, Lu Li did not think of the direction or the way he was going as long as he was going deeper into the mine. Half a day later, Lu Li had already lost the sense of his location. Anyway, there were hardly any people around. He should be in the depth of the mine.

“Come on out, my friends!”

Lu Li stood in an open space. He turned around. Soon, five people showed themselves. They were wearing Relic armors, and their eyes were filled with killing intent.

All five of them had tall burly frames and with grey hair and pointy ears. They did not look old but seemed to be old-fashioned. They kept a straight face and everything about them was chilly.

“You are Li Lu? From the Grand Martial Universe?”

One of them said. Before Lu Li could reply, that person said with contempt, “Your name is actually Lu Li, right? You are from the Heaven Reverse Universe, not the Grand Martial Universe.”

“Here we go!”

Lu Li grinned a scornful grin. Nobody other than Yan Tiangang could have the power to collect such details about Lu Li.

Only Yan Tiangang could collude with a prefecture warrior to mobilize slaves here to ambush Lu Li. It seemed that Lu Li killing Yan Zhen and destroying the Yan Family really had infuriated Yan Tiangang. He would go all out to end Lu Li.

“I am Li Lu, not Lu Li. I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Lu Li said calmly. He still had some questions. Weren’t there a dozen warriors behind those five? What were they waiting for? Were they not from the same side? Or would the dozen warriors come only when the five could not finish the job?

The five warriors appeared to be powerful, but Lu Li was not scared. He was bothered though—to kill the five here might not be a problem. However, what should he do about the dozen warriors behind them? If they ran away, information of the Deaf Taoist and the immortal’s body would be leaked.

Pausing for the time for one breath, Lu Li asked, “What do you need from me? Enlighten me, please.”

A grey-haired middle-aged man answered, “Nothing. We just want you in chains and come with us.”

“Where to?” Lu Li asked while knowing the answer. Noticing that the other dozen warriors had stopped, an idea popped into Lu Li’s mind. “You have to check with the guys behind you if you want to take me away!”

A cold glare rose in their eyes. The five all checked behind them with psychic power. A trace of delight appeared on Lu Li’s face. It seemed that the two groups were not together. Lu Li shouted at once, “Brothers, show yourselves. The five are carrying hundreds of pieces of Spring Gold, enough for us to share!”

Lu Li’s loud voice echoed in the chamber. The five people were taken aback. Behind them, the other group knew that they were exposed, so they had to rush over.

Lu Li used psychic power to check. To his surprise, those warriors were the ones that ascended at the same time he did. In the group was the old man that went to collect information.

At that time, Lu Li understood what was going on. It seemed that this group was envious that Lu Li had finished his job of obtaining the 10 pieces of Spring Gold easily. They followed him for two reasons. The first was to find out how Lu Li was obtaining his Spring Gold and the second, of course, was to snatch Spring Gold from him.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Connecting the dots, Lu Li laughed. “Guys, come on and kill the five of them. They are carrying over five hundred pieces of Spring Gold with them. Let’s divide them up. If anyone wants to investigate, I will shoulder all the responsibilities.”

But the dozen warriors did not take any actions. After all, they were newcomers at the Mountain of Vicissitudes. They had not gained a clear picture of the situation here yet. Were the five people supported by a strong background? Besides, it was obvious that the five were powerful. As new immortals, the dozen warriors decided they could not offend the five people for no reason.

This crowd was like new recruits faced with veterans. Even with a larger crowd, the former did not dare to engage in combat with the latter.

The five cast a glance at the dozen warriors. Seeing that none of them moved, one of the five snorted. “Who gave you the courage to think you can combat poison with poison? Do you know how many people the five of us have killed in the mines? We have been working on the Mountain of Vicissitudes for nearly a thousand years. We have murdered at least thousands of immortals. If you want to stay alive, piss off!”

The Relic armors on the five glowed. They held Relic weapons of various kinds. Two took out two tripods that were circling around them. Those tripods must be something impressive.

The five’s momentum rose. Killing intent glared in their eyes. They were like five huge beasts ready to devour people. The dozen warriors were in fear and trembling. Their eyes flickered as they found themselves in an impossible situation.

“Last chance. Piss off or die!”

A grey-haired bulky man with a jagged steel sword stepped forward. The strong killing intent spread out. The dozen warriors were completely freaked out.

“We don’t know him. Let’s go!”

That old man waved his hand and hurried away with the others. None dared to stay any longer. Making sure that they had gone, the five turned back to Lu Li. One of them said, “We are giving you a final chance as well. Either you come with us in chains or, die!”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li smiled. He no longer had concerns after the dozen warriors were gone. A glow rose from between his eyebrows. The Deaf Taoist emerged. Lu Li ordered, “Deaf Taoist, do it. Kill them!”

“Roar, roar~”

The Deaf Taoist cried into the air. The space here was enough for him to change form completely. He grew to over one hundred feet, surrounded by black airstream and killing intent.

“What?”

The five were taken aback. The Deaf Taoist’s energy frightened them. In particular, the demonic feel of the Deaf Taoist made them uncomfortable.

“Charge—”

The five dashed over and trapped the Deaf Taoist inside. A bloody fight broke out immediately.
