“Why did you stop?”
Lin Yu and the others asked Lu Li, who was standing still. They were about to go into the portal. Was Lu Li worried that the others would follow him in and try to take away the treasures?
Lu Li said nothing. Ling Feidu was losing patience. “Punk, what are you standing there for? Why don’t you just go in?”
Turning back to Ling Feidu, Lu Li said with a smile, “Young Master Ling, if you are in such a hurry, you can go in first and take the treasures there for yourself!”
“What?”
Ling Feidu was a bit nervous. His expression did not change, but he did not say much more. From Lu Li’s eyes, he could see some cunning intentions. Lu Li was trying to fool him.
“What is it?” Lou Shi’er asked.
Since Lu Li did not find Lou Shi’er so repelling, he provided an answer after a moment of thought. “I can feel that… all the slabs around the portal are embedded with terrifying Inhibition Formations. Each of the slabs can kill us!”
“How is this possible?”
Many people were taken aback. Finally, they had reached the end. They were faced with a gate but could not have access in? Were they expected to step back to where they started? They could not travel backward on the Path of Life and Death. The only other option was to wait here for one thousand years till they were teleported out.
“This is not right!”
Lou Shi’er frowned. He and Holy Princess looked at each other. Her pretty eyebrows were knitted together as well. Many people had tried to explore the Path of Life and Death before and many had succeeded. How did this happen?
Lu Li could not figure this out either. He asked Blood Fairy, “Check again and see if you were wrong.”
Blood Fairy answered after a moment of silence, “I am sure. All six slabs are embedded with deadly Inhibition Formations. One touch and you will die!”
Lu Li was afraid to move. Looking at Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er, he said, “I don’t have the courage to go. If you don’t trust me, you are welcome to send someone and see!”
Sent someone?
Who would have the courage? Nobody wanted to die. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess frowned in silence. Pointing to a person next to Lin Yu, Ling Feidu said, “You go and have a try. If you can survive, you can have all the treasures in there.”
“…”
Lu Li rolled his eyes. They had agreed that he would take all the treasures. Now, to lure people in, Ling Feidu had taken the liberty of making a decision on his own.
But that person did not move. Looking at Ling Feidu, he said, “Treasures… I don’t want them. I don’t have the guts to go in. How about you from the Cabinet of Clouds go and see? You can enjoy the treasures.”
“Let me!”
A disciple from the Cabinet of Cloud said, biting his teeth. Ling Feidu attempted to stop him, but he could not do so in front of so many people. He nodded, having no other choice, and said, “Ling Feiya, be careful.”
The disciple from Cabinet of Cloud nodded. He followed the safe course and stepped to Lu Li’s side. A white Relic armor appeared over his body. After taking a glance over, he leaped forth all of a sudden. He was trying to jump into that portal.
“Buzzing~”
While he was about to leap across the slab right in front of him, from the ceiling whooshed down a ray of black light. Following that, a black light column fell on him. Ling Feiya was blast into pieces in the air, including his Relic weapon and armor.
“Feiya!”
Many people from the Cabinet of Cloud shouted in sorrow. Those from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle said nothing in grief. Lu Li did not lie. There was no path in front of them.
Ling Feidu’s mouth twitched. He took out his halberd. Pointing at Lin Yu, Lu Li, and the others, he bellowed, “There must be a way. We have tried one of the six slabs. You have five people. Each one should try to step on a slab. There must be a safe way!”
Lin Yu and Lu Li looked at each other. Both were seized with killing intent. If it were not for the fact that Ling Feidu was from the Cabinet of Cloud, which was overwhelming with numerical strength, they would have killed Ling Feidu right away.
Ling Feidu had crossed the line!
Lin Yu and Lu Li did not move. The halberd lit up in Ling Feidu’s hand. He shouted coldly again, “Are you going to do it or not? I will blast you to pieces!”
A warrior near Lin Yu was angered. He turned around and said to Ling Feidu in anger, “Young Master Ling, if you are in such a rush, why don’t you go and have a try? You are the most powerful in the young generation of the Cabinet of Cloud, a warrior on the list. Don’t you have the courage?”
“Courting death!”
Ling Feidu was hopping mad. His beast-like violent energy enveloped Lu Li and the others like a looming storm. His halberd glowed glaringly as he hacked the warrior near Lin Yu.
“Swish~”
A ray of white sword light appeared and then disappeared. That warrior next to Lin Yu did not have the time to react before he was smashed away and landed on the slab on the left.
“Boom~”
He slammed into the wall then landed on the slab. A bolt of purple lightning then landed on him. He was reduced into ashes, and his Relic armor was crushed.
Lin Yu and the others clenched their fists in silent resentment. People from the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and Palace of Snow Mountain were sending Ling Feidu unfriendly looks as well.
Many female disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain had been admiring Ling Feidu. Even they were having second thoughts of him now. Holy Princess threw him a look that had contempt and aversion buried in it.
Ling Feidu did not mind. Pointing at Lu Li again, he yelled, “Are you going to go or not?”
“Young Master Ling!”
Sighing, Lu Li said, “You forcing us cannot achieve anything. When all of us die, you still don’t have a way in. Give me some time, and let me see if I can find a solution.”
Lu Li believed that they would all end up in ashes if they barged in. He must calm Ling Feidu down first before he could think of a way.
“Feidu, stay calm!”
Seeing that Ling Feidu was about to say something, Lou Shi’er hurried to ease the tension. Looking at Lu Li, Lou Shi’er said, “Buddy, we are in no rush. Take your time.”
Holy Princess also said, “Young Master Ling, do not push him. He is not lying!”
Everyone was focused on Lu Li, who sat down with his eyes closed. Blood Fairy was his only hope now.
He communicated with her. “Blood Fairy, try to tackle the Inhibition Formations. Remember, when I die, you will die.”
“I will try!” Blood Fairy did not give an answer of certainty. Lu Li could only wait in silence.
After a while, Lu Li thought of a reason. Was it because Blood Fairy had changed the Inhibition Formations here so that all the Path of Life was blocked?
He read many books on Inhibition Formations, so he had some knowledge. The Inhibition Formation system in the Tomb of King Luna must be massive and intricate. King Luna might have arranged some puppets, or spirits or soul slaves to control the Inhibition Formations.
In other words, a tomb watcher was here!
Maybe, the tomb watcher had sensed that Bloodvine was trying to change the Inhibition Formations here for shortcuts. The tomb watcher might have altered the Inhibition Formation to block the exit.
Such being the case, things would be troublesome. Even if Bloodvine could crack the Inhibition Formations and change the Path of Death to a Path of Life, then eventually, the tomb watcher could still have everyone killed here.
“That isn’t right…”
On second thought, Lu Li believed that King Luna must have set certain rules to control such a person or puppet.
If this tomb watcher were to take action and kill anyone that entered the Tomb of King Luna at will, then that would be contrary to King Luna’s original intention.
“What is the point?”
Lu Li thought as hard as he could. He seemed to be close to the answer but could not grasp it yet. It was as if a veil was blocking his sight from seeing the truth, from seeing the sky behind the cloud.
