"What?"
Neither did Bai Xiashuang nor Liu Yi see this coming. Flying in public would give away their whereabouts to the Yu Family, making them an easy target. When that happened, how could they help Lu Li?
"Listen to me, it’s going to be okay."
Bai Qiuxue gently smiled. Seeing that the other two didn’t stop looking at her, she explained, "What are we doing this time? Helping Lu Li. What is Lu Li going to do? To revenge and collect his grandpa’s bones."
"Therefore… we are going to divert the attention of the Yu Family away from him. In this way, he will be safer. Also, every one of the Heaven Martial Kingdom will know about this after we fly over. Soon, words will spread across the Northern Desert. By that time, the Yu Family won’t dare to lay a hand on us unless they want to be exterminated. Do you understand now?"
"Ah, sister, you are so smart. This is so fun."
Bai Xiashuang soon came to her senses. She was not stupid, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to reach the Soul Pond Realm so quickly. Her realm was not lower than that of Bai Qiuxue. It was just Bai Xiashuang was simple-minded and she was not fond of brainwork usually. Now that Bai Qiuxue gave her a hint, she understood it soon.
Liu Yi wasn’t thick-headed either. She stole a glance at Bai Qiuxue with admiration and respect. Bai Qiuxue had a stunningly beautiful appearance and a high realm. She was born in a Super Family and boasted such a level of intellect. The god really loved and adored her to let so many virtues converge in her.
Bai Xiashuang was a girl craving nothing short of nationwide chaos. She controlled the chariot to fly at a lower height and made the Inhibition Formation glow in purple light. Now, the chariot could be spotted even from a distance.
Flying towards the northwest for a while, there appeared a small county towards their left-front. Bai Xiashuang deliberately flew the chariot that way.
She made the chariot slow down even more after they reached the county. The purple moon on her neck glowed as if she was afraid nobody would see her.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Down in the county, many warriors were alarmed. They rushed out of their yards to take a look. Two identical beautiful girls attracted the attention of many. Many young men even thought they were fairies that descended from heaven. They were completely amazed.
"Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang!"
The county was close to the Thousand-island Lake, so many families were familiar with the matters in the Thousand-island Lake. Soon, they managed to conjure up the identity of the twins. The county was seized in a huge commotion.
Two pearls of the Thousand-island Lake came out in such a flashy way. Moreover, there was no powerful warrior to protect them. Were they not afraid that something might go wrong? What if some bold person forced to taint the good names of the twins?
Bai Xiashuang rolled her eyes as some ideas came to her mind while she was staring at the bustling people below. A sly smile climbed to her face. She suddenly stopped the chariot and shouted, "Who is your county master? Come out and have a word with me."
Liu Yi was confused. Bai Qiuxue smiled but she didn’t stop Bai Xiashuang from the mischievous behavior. From a yard down on the ground, an elder of the Soul Pond Realm flew to a stone fort and bowed to them, "I am Li Lu. What is the word, milady?"
Bai Xiashuang casually said, "We are on our way to the Yu Emperor City and the Heaven Martial City. Do you have a map of the Heaven Martial City? If so, give me a copy."
People were again engaged in a heated discussion. The two pearls of the Thousand-island Lake were on their way to the Yu Emperor City and the Heaven Martial City. Could it be that they liked a certain young master of the Yu Family or the Zi Family? Were they going to get married and live at the Heaven Martial Kingdom?
Li Lu waved his hand and a Patriarch soon rushed to get a map out.
Li Lu flew to midair, handed the map to Bai Xiashuang, flew back and said, "Ladies, do you need anything else? If you need anything, I will do everything in my power."
"No."
Bai Xiashuang looked at the map and controlled the chariot to rush on. Soon, they disappeared into the north.
"Somebody come!" Li Lu shouted after the chariot had gone into the distance, "Report this matter right away."
While the chariot was long gone, the discussion in the county was getting more and more intense. Many young men still felt they just had a dream. Maybe the figures of the twins would even appear in their sleep from now on.
…
The Yu Emperor City. Inside a fortress, a skinny old man was burning with rage after he read the most recent news.
What Madam Yan assumed was right. This whole thing was arranged by the Yu Family. Everything was planned by the skinny old man, Yu Lun, the one nicknamed "Viper", the think-tank of the Yu Family.
As a matter of fact!
Not long after Lu Li left the Blood Evil Island, Yu Lun was already informed. Liu Ming and the other "lost" Liu Family disciples were sent by Yu Lun. As soon as Lu Li left, Liu Ming crushed a jade talisman to inform Yu Lun about Lu Li leaving.
Everything was going according to Yu Lun’s plan. He had acquired a pretty complete file about Lu Li’s information. Yu Lun managed to deduce that based on Lu Li’s character, he would definitely go to the Di Long Tribe if he knew his grandfather’s grave was dug out. To kill him would be a piece of cake as long as Lu Li left the Thousand-island Lake.
Yu Lun sent many men to wait outside of the Thousand-island Lake. He arranged many things along the way Lu Li was going to take. Yu Lun was certain that Lu Li would not survive this time.
However!
A surprise had presented itself just now. Little did he expect that Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue left the Thousand-island Lake. This was not the worst thing, but the scouts hiding in the Thousand-island Lake had reported that many powerful warriors of the Bai Family had come as well…
Now, what added to the situation was that the whereabouts of Lu Li could not be found by the scouts anymore. Yu Lun felt the matter much trickier now. It seemed… to have evolved out of control.
"Come and send my word!"
After some thinking, Yu Lun shouted. A warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm rushed in. Yu Lun ordered, "Send the scouts out to find Lu Li. You must find him. Remember, send me the news when you find him. Don’t do anything that will alert him."
"Whoosh!"
The warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm left. Yu Lun still could not put his mind at ease. He once again gave out an order, "Send a message to the families along the way and ask them to allocate more people to the search. Tell them that if they find Lu Li, I will give them a county and 50 million Xuan Crystals!"
Orders were given one after another. In just less than half a day, many families of the Heaven Martial Kingdom were boiling with excitement.
The Yu Family boasted many resources in the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Many families were affiliated with the Yu Family, and more were in a good relationship with the Yu Family.
Now that the Yu Family had given commands, these families all sprang to their feet. Many scouts and warriors were searching for Lu Li like crazy. Anyone who found Lu Li could become the master of a county and the owner of 50 million Xuan Crystals.
Inevitably, the news flew around. The warriors and families that didn’t receive the order directly also got involved. They took part in the search without getting any commands. If they were so lucky as to find Lu Li, they would be rich.
Soon, the entire Heaven Martial Kingdom was on the move. At least millions of warriors were getting busy trying to find Lu Li, searching everywhere and questioning anyone suspicious just to find him.
The weirdest thing happened…
Three days, three whole days.
Millions of warriors spent three days yet yielded nothing. It was as if Lu Li never left the Thousand-island Lake nor did he enter the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Nothing reported back to the Yu Family was of value. Instead, many warriors were torn apart by Xuan Beast while searching for Lu Li in the wild.
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang flew around in their chariot in broad daylight. They would change their course every now and then. They would take a look here and there, making many scouts of the Yu Family follow them while trembling with fear.
What Yu Lun worried about the most happened. The scouts he sent to the Thousand-island Lake had given him accurate information that Bai Xi, Bai Leng and 10 warriors of the Eternal Realm of the Bai Family had left the Thousand-island Lake.
Also, the whereabouts of Bai Xi were… unknown now.
