Chapter 568: Found Her

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Scouts weren't normally strong in fights. But they did excel in assassination and escape. There were several scouts coming together and a Noble Lord Realm warrior was among them. Third Patriarch was afraid that something might go wrong so he wished for Lu Li to run.

However, for Lu Li, Noble Lord Realm warriors were nothing. Hundreds of them wouldn't be difficult to be dealt with, let alone one.

Third Patriarch didn't dare to disobey Lu Li so he went away soon while Lu Li kept watch on the spot. After a while, the scout Lu Li found at first was approaching and he had sensed Lu Li's presence with psychic power.

The scout stayed calm and collected while he was speeding up. He made no sound as if he were a ghost. While hundreds of feet away, he suddenly took out a sickle and was ready to cut at Lu Li's neck.

All the scouts gathered at Mount Mist were either from the three forces or the Drifting Cloud Hall. The scout clearly belonged to the three forces. He found no mark of the three forces on Lu Li so he had decided to go in for the kill at once.

Lu Li inspected with psychic power as well. He sensed the other four scouts were still more than one mile away.

Having no further concerns, Lu Li drew the divine weapon and smashed it forward without even having to look at the scout coming at him from ahead.

"Bang~"

With a muffled noise, the sickle was broken. But the scout reacted quickly. He sped up while dodging to the sides. Then he waved his right hand. A black blur was shot out with some glare, indicating poisons.

Lu Li didn't know how powerful the hidden weapons were. Hence, he decided not to take the risk. He glided his divine weapon over to smash away all the hidden weapons.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Lu Li heard four sounds. The four scouts from the Drifting Cloud Hall were getting close. But Lu Li didn't feel alarmed. He took out his Fate Wheel and generated several clones amid a white glare.

"What?"

The first scout was stunned. He was about to shoot out some more hidden weapons but he didn't know which Lu Li should be his aim so he took some random actions.

"Swash~"

From behind the scout came a noise. When the scout turned back, the saber was already coming at him. He had to hold up the damaged sickle to fight back.

"Die—"

Lu Li cut the damaged sickle into pieces and then at this scout's head. Vibration waves of physical power was send in and so was soul force. The scout's Soul Pond could not stand it and was shattered.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

The four scouts came like ghosts. They happened to see the scout being hacked to death. They felt confused. Was Lu Li an undercover scout for the Drifting Cloud Hall? But he had no such identity mark of the Drifting Cloud Hall.

"Buzzing~"

Once again, Lu Li generated clones. Dozens clones were whooshing toward different directions, coming at the three scouts of the Eternal Realm scouts. The four scouts were ready to fight. The Noble Lord Realm leader shouted, "Watch out!"

"Bang!"

He had barely finished his words when one of the scout's head was crushed and blood spurted out. This time, Lu Li didn't rein in his strength and he directly smashed the warrior's head.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

The remaining three scouts were able to see where Lu Li really was. The Noble Lord Realm scout released his Bead of Life. On his neck, there was a purple light as a mark in the shape of a wave appeared.

"Swash, swash!"

Blue energies surged out from the scout's neck into his Bead of Life. Then it began to spin quickly as waves of blue energy rippled to all directions. Lu Li's real person was surrounded.

"Eh?"

Lu Li was shocked to feel he was slowed down. The Bloodline skill could slow a warrior down by half, quite impressive.

Lu Li could not afford to be careless. He stabbed psychic power into the scout's Soul Pond. Given that the scout didn't have any soul protection, he was seized right away.

"Bang, bang~"

Now that the most powerful Noble Lord Realm scout was stunned still, it was more than easy to kill the other two scouts at the Eternal Realm. After Lu Li generated clones, he killed the two with his saber and their Soul Ponds were crushed.

"Whoosh~"

Third Patriarch stole his way over. Putting one hand with a green glow on the Noble Lord Realm scout who was being shocked still, Third Patriarch began to search his soul. Third Patriarch was holding a toxic spear above the neck of this scout, ready to give the scout a fatal blow at any time. Third Patriarch, who was weaker than Ye Cha, must tread carefully in case the scout fought back.

But Third Patriarch was worrying for nothing. Lu Li had been attacking this Noble Lord Realm scout's soul. How could he fight back when he couldn't protect his own soul?

After a while, the Noble Lord Realm warrior collapsed to the ground. Third Patriarch said with delight, "Armies of the three forces are now entering the Drifting Cloud region. The Great Patriarch with the Holy Light Profound Meaning is at the Flint Cloud City. Drifting Cloud Hall's Family Patriarch is at the Drifting Cloud City. It is certain that there are no Human Sovereign Realm warriors at the Stormy Cloud City. According to the scout's memory, I think Saintess and their future patriarch should be commanding at the Stormy Cloud City!"

"Stormy Cloud City?"

Lu Li was uplifted. If they could make sure that the Saintess was at the Stormy Cloud City and that she was Lu Ling when they went there, they could get her out and leave right away.

"Saint Lord!"

After some thoughts, Third Patriarch said, "I think many scouts of the Drifting Cloud Hall know about this. So…our Clan Leader must have learned about it as well. He is probably going to the Stormy Cloud City because he has been gone for some time now. I think we should wait patiently. If he confirms the information, it will be easier for us to act."

"Sure!"

Lu Li pushed down the urge to go to the Stormy Cloud City at once. The war between the three forces and the Drifting Cloud Hall was on the verge of breaking out. As a person with special identity, Saintess would probably make an appearance. Ye Cha must be able to get some information if she did so.

Lu Li had to wonder around Mount Mist patiently while honing his Soul Shattering Skill. Just now, he had slipped up and shattered the head of a scout. He was still not proficient enough.

Third Patriarch now had no more concern about Lu Li's abilities. They wandered on and killed all the scouts they ran into easily.

After more than half a day, more than 100 scouts died in the hands of Lu Li. But there had been less scouts here. Many must have gone back given that the war was about to commence.

During this time, Lu Li was getting more skilled in Soul Shattering skill. But clearly, he felt there was a long way to go before he could beat a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. He couldn't kill one even in surprise attacks.

"Saint Lord!"

By nightfall, a man stole his way over. Lu Li heard that it was Ye Cha. He stopped and asked in joy, "Ye Cha, how is it? Did you find my sister?"

"Yes!"

Ye Cha stood next to Lu Li. But he wasn't too delighted as he continued in a depressing tone, "She is at the Drifting Cloud City and…she made an appearance with the Drifting Cloud Hall master. But she was wearing a veil. Nobody ever saw her real appearance. I cannot say for sure that she is Lady Ling."

"Eh…"

Lu Li felt the matter trickier. Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall had reached the Human Sovereign Realm 500 years ago. Even if they could confirm that Saintess was Lu Ling, would they be able to get her out? After all, the Drifting Cloud City, being the headquarter of the Drifting Cloud Hall, was crowded with powerful warriors.
