Chapter 1238: Dishonest

Lu Li followed the group at a distance of dozens of miles. In this way, he would not lose them or be noticed.

Lu Li ran into many wild beasts that were abounded there. Somehow, he felt as if he had left the Tomb of King Luna and arrived in the wild outside.

The disciples from the three sects walked in a straight line. Lu Li wondered if they knew where the exit was. Almost every hour, they would run into some wild beasts, sometimes a dozen, sometimes a few or even thirty to forty.

Every time, those from the Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle would start first. The ones from the Palace of Snow Mountain were all ladies. When the group of wild beasts was small, the ladies would not join and they could just stay on the sideline.

It was easier to work when boys and girls got together to do the same mission!

With dozens of pretty ladies from the Palace of Snow Mountain and the Holy Princess that was on the list of Most Beautiful People observing, the young disciples of Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle had become surprisingly brave. They were all pumped up and unstoppable.

Ling Feidu was particularly so. He was so full of valor and vigor. He would fight against a beast all by himself. He would slay one if he strikes. He was so outstanding that many disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain were intoxicated.

On the other hand, Lou Shi’er from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle was in a low key. His moves were not glamorous and were not quite effective, either. Lou Shi’er might not be interested in the Holy Princess of the Palace of Snow Mountain. Or maybe… he was playing hard to get. Who could tell?

“Such a pity!”

Since Lu Li had to keep a distance, he could not observe the fight closely. Otherwise, he would have learned many things. After all, they were from three major sects. All of them had mastered outstanding skills and the Fundamental Principles they learned must be special as well. To observe more would be beneficial to Lu Li.

“Wait?”

All of a sudden, Lu Li saw two people sneaking around behind a hill on the left. Lu Li smiled a slight smile.

He himself was sneaking around, wasn’t he? Those two must have the same plan of following the three major sects.

The two noticed Lu Li as well. But they only checked with psychic power and showed no intention to come over and say hello. Desiring not to interfere.

“Boom!”

The wild beasts had been dealt with. The ones from the three major sects moved forward. A moment later, Lu Li hurried after them. The two did so as well.

They walked and they stopped. Three days passed uneventfully.

During the three days, Lu Li could not remember how many wild beasts had been killed by disciples of the three major sects. There must be three to four hundred, if not more. Lu Li, if he was not following disciples of the three major sects, could survive this trip but he would not be so fast. He would be in fatal danger if he encountered a large herd of wild beasts.

The disciples of three major sects were strong and efficient. They only rested once during the three days. Those delicate beauties of the Palace of Snow Mountain never complained about fatigue and had been eating prepared food along the way.

The number of people did the same thing with Lu Li that grew from two to over sixty. Many people were smarter now. Why wouldn’t they be when they could follow a large group and enjoy the trip easily? Why would they have to find their own path? After all, there wouldn’t be any treasures in the wild.

“How vast is this place?”

Lu Li was a bit worried. He guessed this was the easiest test. If they could not survive the wild beasts, then they didn’t have to try the other trials.

King Luna could not have let a group of average immortals get his valuables. The ones that could have his treasures must excel at certain points.

Those followed behaved themselves. Nobody created any sound, afraid that disciples of the three major sects would notice them. Everyone moved along in silence.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Another half a day later, Lu Li saw a group of wild beasts up ahead. There must be thousands. All were gathered at the foot of a mountain.

“The exit of the first level!”

Someone shouted. Lu Li and the others were excited. They could all see what was happening. The herd of beasts did not rush to the people, instead, they were wandering around the mountain.

Clearly, the wild beasts were instructed to protect this mountain. In other words—there must be an entrance to the next level within this steep mountain.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

People of the three major sects tried to break out from the encirclement with Ling Feixu and Lou Shi’er as the leader and ladies of the Palace of Snow Mountain in the middle. Disciples of Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were on the outside. The group of over one hundred pierced into the herd of beasts like a sharp sword.

“Move~”

One from the crowd that was behind shouted. A dozen pressed forward.

Disciples of the three major sects had torn apart an opening in the encirclement. It was the best time for people to dash in before the opening was closed.

“Whoosh, whoosh~”

The others followed as well. Upon further thought, Lu Li joined the crowd. It would be hardly possible for him to go by himself. Since many people were rushing forward, he could leverage the group effort.

Disciples of the three major sects were bold and powerful. They had climbed up to the mountain. Lu Li could see a portal on top of the mountain. That must be the entrance to the next level.

“Bang!”

Lu Li took out his Relic weapon and hacked at the wild beast coming to him. The ray of blood-red sword light smashed away the lion-shaped wild beast, leaving a blood mark on its head.

“Eh?”

The ones around him were upset that Lu Li followed them. However, seeing that Lu Li could hurt a wild beast within one blow, they said nothing. Lu Li’s ability had been recognized by them.

“Whoosh, whoosh~”

Dozens of warriors advanced. All were using varied modes of attacks with great force to defeat wild beasts on the side. If it were not for the fact that the disciples of the three major sects had forged open a path, it would not be so easy for the following coward to pierce through the encirclement.

“Quickly, hurry up!”

Seeing that more beasts were coming from two sides, Lu Li sped up. He wielded his saber, again and again, releasing the rays of blood-red sword light with great effort to force back the wild beasts.

Fortunately, the ones with Lu Li were somewhat capable. They used different skills and had stopped the wild beasts from approaching them. The crowd went through the herd of wild beasts at a fast speed and dashed up the mountain.

That being said, several were unlucky and were hurt by the wild beasts. Then, they fell prey to the wild beasts. Needless to say, they would end up in the stomachs of the wild beasts.

“Phew, phew. Come on!”

Up on the mountain, Lu Li breathed heavily. He followed the dozens onto the top of the mountain without any hesitation.

Reaching the peak, they had thought that they could step into the portal easily. However, outside the door were over one hundred people, staring at them with coldness.

Lu Li and the others stopped. They looked at the one hundred uneasily. Of course, the one hundred were from the three major sects. They were here waiting, not to welcome, obviously. They had come with evil intentions.

Sure enough…

Ling Feixu, from Cabinet of Cloud, wielded his halberd. Pointing at Lu Li and the others, he said coldly, “Guys, we have worked so hard to open up a path and you are enjoying the fruit behind us. Isn’t this mean?”
