Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The last person Lu Li wanted to save was Ling Feidu, who had on many occasions displayed intent to harm Lu Li. Ling Feidu might sneak up on Lu Li after he was rescued.

That being said, what was done could not be undone. Lu Li didn’t want to say anything so he stood on the spot quietly. When Ling Feidu arrived, Lou Shi’er said, “Young Master Ling, it is not us that saved you but Brother Lu. If it were not for the fact that he could remove the illusion, we would still be stuck as well.”

“Really?”

Ling Feidu acted as if he had only seen Lu Li now. The former put on a smile but a fake one. He nodded. “Good. Brother Lu, thank you. In the future, if you want to join the Cabinet of Cloud, I will set you up.”

Lu Li felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this. Ling Feidu was so arrogant and talked to Lu Li in a way as if Lu Li was begging for charity. Lu Li would give up on the idea of joining the Cabinet of Cloud to hear Ling Feidu say so, not to mention he didn’t have such plans at all.

But on the record, Lu Li replied with politeness. “Thank you, Young Master Ling.”

Ling Feidu waved his hand. “You are welcome. This is nothing. Now, the important thing is how to solve the formation and get past this level. Brother Lu, do you have a way out?”

“No!”

Lu Li shook his head. “I can only remove the simplest tier of formation. I cannot get us out. I will have to turn to you.”

“You cannot?”

Ling Feidu pulled a long face. He turned away from Lu Li and said to Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er, “Do you have any ideas?”

“No!”

Bother Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess shook their heads. Ling Feidu pulled his face even longer as he sighed in agitation. “I had thought that you have solved the formation of illusion. Alas... are we going to be trapped here for a thousand years?”

Lu Li winked to Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess. The latter understood that Lu Li was repelled by Ling Feidu and as a matter of fact, they didn’t want to spend time with Ling Feidu, either. Lou Shi’er said, “Brother Ling, how about you go around and look for ways to solve the formation? We have to keep going and find our fellow disciples or else they will all lose their minds. Well... if we find anyone from the Cabinet of Cloud, we will tell them to come to you.”

“Let’s go together!” Ling Feidu said after some thoughts, “Many hands make light work. We will find a way out.”

Lu Li was annoyed. How did this Ling Feidu not know how to read the room? How could he be so shameless? Lu Li even wanted to leave and not help Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess.

It was not entirely impossible that he could crack the formation. Lu Li had some confidence. That being said, he didn’t want to help Ling Feidu at all. He would not bring Ling Feidu out even when he could remove all the illusions. Lu Li wished for Ling Feidu and the disciples of Cabinet of Cloud to be trapped here for a thousand years.

“Let’s go, Brother Lu!”

Lou Shi’er seemed to be able to read Lu Li’s mind. The former patted Lu Li’s shoulder and made eye contact with him. Lu Li pressed his lips and said nothing. He followed Lou Shi’er forward.

Ling Feidu glanced at Lu Li but said nothing. He stepped to Holy Princess and began to mumble something. She kept her distance and basically said nothing while Ling Feidu kept on chattering...

After covering another three hundred miles, Lu Li began to remove the illusion again. Ling Feidu and the disciples of the Cabinet of Cloud all turned their psychic power to the tentacle under Lu Li’s feet.

When the illusion was removed and things changed, a glow rose in Ling Feidu’s eyes. He stepped over and said, “Brother Lu, this thing you are using is special. If you can solve the illusion, why can’t you find the exit?”

Lu Li cast Ling Feidu a glance and said, “The formations of illusion have three tiers. The first tier is the one I can remove now, the illusion cast over our views. The second tier is the one affecting souls and the third is over the exit. Given my abilities, I can only remove the first tier. We will not get out until we crack the other two tiers.”

“This is not right!”

Ling Feidu raised his eyebrows. He looked at the Bloodvine under Lu Li’s feet and said, “Is your realm so low that you cannot make the best of this thing? How about you let me borrow it? Maybe, I can solve the formation, and we can all get out.”

“Swish, swish, swish~”

Lu Li’s expression turned cloudy at once. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess pulled a long face. The disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were unhappy as well. They all looked at Ling Feidu with resentment.

Ling Feidu was biting the hands that fed him. Was he about to fight for Lu Li’s Bloodvine?

They had met shameless people, but nobody came close to Ling Feidu. Even one or two disciples from the Cabinet of Cloud felt their cheeks burning up.

“Hmm~”

Ling Feidu could sense that people had changed their attitude and were looking at him in a hostile way. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I am just trying to find us a way out. Besides... I am not trying to take away Brother Lu’s treasure. I just want to borrow it so that I can find a way. I, personally, have some knowledge of Inhibition Formations.”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li could not stand it any longer. He said, coldly, “I am sorry, Young Master Ling. I cannot lend this thing to you. Since you have some knowledge of Inhibition Formations, then go ahead and remove the illusion. Later, if you are successful, you can then take us out, and that will make us really grateful to you.”

“Right”

Lou Shi’er walked toward Lu Li quietly and stood in front of him and said with a smile, “Young Master Ling, since you are so confident, then let us go our separate ways.”

Holy Princess said nothing, but she stepped toward Lu Li silently, glaring at Ling Feidu coldly. Her intention was clear—she was on the same side as Lu Li. She would not stand by if Ling Feidu wanted to take action against Lu Li.

“Well?”

Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess’ attitude and Lu Li’s words had irritated Ling Feidu. Coldness rose in Ling Feidu’s eyes as he said, “Brother Shi’er and Holy Princess, what do you mean? Do you want to part ways with me? Is it worth it to... hurt the relationship between the three sects just for... this trash?”

“Trash?”

Lu Li grinned even more coldly. Lou Shi’er shrugged but said nothing more. Holy Princess could not help but say, “Young Master Ling, do not forget that Young Master Lu was the one that took us over the Path of Life and Death, and he was the one that helped you out just now.”

“Ha, ha!”

Ling Feidu grinned. Then, pretending to be natural, he flickered the dust on his robe and said, “Fine, since you trust him so much, then let us part ways. Later, when I have the formations removed, I will send someone to come and get you. Disciples of Cabinet of Cloud, let’s go!”

Ling Feidu glared at Lu Li, filled with killing intent. The former waved his hand and left with the disciples from the Cabinet of Cloud.

Once they were gone, Lou Shi’er shook his head with a bitter smile but said nothing. Holy Princess mumbled, “The disciples of the Cabinet of Cloud are becoming worse and worse. How can someone as bad as him ever think of...”

Though Holy Princess did not finish her sentence, Lu Li and Lou Shi’er did understand it. Ling Feidu tried to pursue Holy Princess. Maybe, previously, he had some hope. However, after today, Holy Princess would only treat Ling Feidu with hostility.
