Chapter 658: Ambush

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was not interested in the Xuan Crystals considering that he had 1.8 billion Purple Xuan Crystals with him. Seeing how the two Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Wei Family were reacting, Lu Li had an idea.

He threw the ring to Hu Lang and said, "This is a scroll of skill. I think this is all the treasures. We are lucky to have some treasures without doing anything."

By saying so, the two warriors of the Wei Family felt even worse. They were not clear who Lu Li was and were blinded by treasures and greed. If Hu Lang were not at the Human Sovereign Realm, they might even try to grab all the treasures.

Wei Yuan, on the other hand, was more sensible. He listened to Lu Li's words and saw the mocking smile on his face. He understood Lu Li was being sarcastic. Wei Yuan said at once, "Young Master Lu, don't say that. You cannot say you didn't do anything. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have the chance to see those treasures. We are the ones that didn't do anything."

"Hmm!"

Lu Li took the three Interspatial Rings from Hu Lang's hand. Lu Li inspected the one with Mystical Materials and checked carefully, making sure that it was all Mystical Materials and Xuan Artifact and the sorts. He handed the ring to Wei Yuan and said, "This is your territory and you can actually send some Human Sovereign Realm warriors to help you out without having to rely on us. We don't have to split those Mystical Materials. I will only have the beast claw and the scroll. I don't need more Mystical Materials or Xuan Crystals."

"No!"

Wei Yuan checked the Interspatial Ring with the scroll and knew that there was nothing else in there. But he didn't know ancient language so he couldn't read the scroll.

Valuable as ancient occult skills were, they were difficult to learn. Some skills were only suitable for some special races and not the humans. If the skill were to be auctioned, it would only be worth of one or two hundred million Purple Xuan Crystals.

In the other ring was a beast claw which origin was not determined. It seemed terrifying and there might be Origin Blood Essence in there. But how much would it be worth even if it was true?

They had agreed to split the treasures equally. Wei Family would be having the lion share when Lu Li only asked for the scroll and the beast claw. Wei Yuan wouldn't allow it when he wanted to give the lion share to Lu Li to befriend him.

"Why not? Okay, tell your Family Patriarch that I have long heard of his name and that I hope I can visit him next time I went to the Central Plains."

Lu Li put away the two Interspatial Rings without even verifying what beast claw that was. He was determined to get the scroll on making Walking Puppets. This was invaluable. Lu Li wouldn't trade it even for tens of billions of Purple Xuan Crystals, let alone more than a dozen Purple Xuan Crystals.

"If so…okay. I will tell our Family Patriarch your wish, Young Master Lu!"

Wei Yuan decided not to talk Lu Li out of his decision. But he admired who Lu Li managed the situation. When he went back to the Wei Family to tell the story, the patriarchs of the Wei Family would think highly of Lu Li.

"Hu Lang, let's see if there are anything else. We need to go back up if there's nothing else."

Lu Li looked around the back hall, successfully distracting everyone's attention. Wei Yuan and the other two Wei Family warriors checked the hall, fearing they might have missed something of value.

One of the Wei Family Noble Lord Realm warrior had his eyes on the golden coffin. He tried to inspect inside with psychic power only found it restricted. A glint of coldness flared up in his eyes as he lifted up his hand to smash on the lid.

"No!"

Lu Li was checking the room. He yelled angrily when he saw the Wei Family warrior trying to smash the coffin. Hu Lang moved to stand in front of Lu Li, preparing for dangers.

"Bang!"

But the Wei Family Noble Lord Realm warrior didn't stop. He smashed the lip, trying to get it open for more treasures.

"Buzzing~"

The lid glared but the coffin didn't move one bit. The runes on it, though, began to glow. The lines on the coffin were linked. Then a streak of dark green energy climbed into the hand of the Wei Family Noble Lord Realm warrior in the speed of lightning.

What happened next was horrifying—

"Ah…"

The Wei Family Noble Lord Realm warrior cried out. His hand was corroded quickly. Before the others could react, his entire arm melted and the energy moved on to his body. Lu Li tried to draw his divine weapon of Dragon King to cut off the warrior's shoulder but the position was moving too quickly for Lu Li to have enough time to act…

Soon, the Wei Family warrior was reduced into a pile of bones. Lu Li sighed and looked at Hu Lang who pouted. Hu Lang could be able to cut off the warrior's hand but he didn't because he was not pleased by what the two Wei Family warriors had done.

Wei Yuan and the other warrior were frightened. Wei Yuan turned to Lu Li who said with a sigh, "The master of the underground palace had placed all his treasures outside. There shouldn't be any more inside the coffin. This is where his body rests. How could he allow for anyone to defile his body? This man is skilled in Inhibition Formation. Of course he had some preparation."

Wei Yuan understood now and nodded in agreement. He moved further away from the coffin out of instinct. He made sure that there were no more hidden treasures and decided to leave now and send someone back in later on to check again.

"Let's go!"

After careful inspection, Hu Lang made sure there was no more treasures. He didn't want to stay any longer here for fear that they might be trapped here given how terrifying the Inhibition Formations were.

The four of them walked out. They inspected the front hall and went to the dark entrance they came in from. After a glare, they reappeared in the crack. Hu Lang took the lead and fly up with Lu Li following him and Wei Yuan and the other warrior behind him.

"Something is off—"

Before they made it to the island, Hu Lang suddenly stopped. Lu Li and Wei Yuan looked at each other in confusion and Lu Li asked, "What is it?"

"The ones up there are gone!"

Hu Lang had the strongest psychic power among the four of them so he could tell the situation up there before others. He looked solemn. He thought about it and said, "This is strange. I think some things must have happened!"

"What…"

Wei Yuan and Lu Li were taken aback. The other Wei Family Noble Lord Realm warrior flew up instantly. Before he made it, from the sky came an attack in the shape of a new moon that halved the warrior.

"Zhao Moyang? This is an ambush. Fall back—"

Hu Lang yelled. He dragged Lu Li down at once. Lu Li somehow sensed that three warriors were whooshing down the crack.

"Three Human Sovereign Realm warriors? Recluse Solar Dragon?"

Lu Li screamed in surprise. When he sensed that there was a bald man and two unfamiliar Human Sovereign Realm warriors, he was alarmed. He looked toward Wei Yuan at once only to find the later in the same stage of terror. Lu Li understood that the Wei Family had nothing to do with this.

"Get back in the underground palace!"

Lu Li shouted. Wei Yuan came back to his senses and flew back down as well. He was frightened but his fear was soon replaced by rage. While flying down, he yelled, "How dare you kill warriors of the Wei Family? How bold! Aren't you afraid the Great Buddhist Temple will wipe you out?"

"Idiot~"

Lu Li mocked to himself. This clearly was a cleverly woven trap. He was wondering before how could lightning create such a deep crack in the island. It must be human induced.

More than that…

Lu Li wondered if the thunderstorm was formed naturally or induced by someone in order to trap and kill him.

Lu Li was very familiar with such an elaborate plan which could lure them into a trap without them knowing. He thought of a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian!

Lu Li would eat the two Walking Puppets before he was convinced that the two of them had nothing to do with the trap.
