Chapter 857: To the Prison of Ice
People were bustling about in the Demon-slaying City. Patriarch Lei first sent the wounded to be treated and the bodies outside the city to be recovered, so those deceased could be buried in the Hall of Martyrs. Only after that was done did Patriarch Lei ordered a city-wide party and award people according to their contributions.
The Demon-slaying Hall was the most influential of the human race. It was not only attributable to the number of warriors, but also that of Mystical Materials. Demon-slaying Hall controlled over half of the small worlds at the Great Land, including the Blood Realm that Ji Mengtian was exiled to.
The Mystical Materials in those small worlds were all owned by the Demon-slaying Hall. In addition, different families offered up a sacrifice every year. The Demon-slaying hall’s Mystical Materials were more than any force, even more than the accumulated sum of the 12 Royal Families.
All that participated in the fight were rewarded accordingly. Every one obtained a fair share of valuables and Mystical Materials. The Demon-slaying Hall was wealthy enough to afford the rewards.The Demon-slaying City was filled with joyful crowds. People had been suffering for years and finally, the human race won a landslide victory. The human race was safe from extinction. People no longer had to live in fear.
Lu Li came back after a couple of days. He announced that the two cities of the Asmodians were ruined. The Asmodian Lord retreated back to the Eastern Land of Oceans. The news sent people into ecstasy. People got caught up with the revelry.
The Demon-slaying City was a large one, but now it was incredibly crowded. Patriarch of Law Enforcement ordered the warriors that come to assist, to go back to their families. The resident warriors of the Demon-slaying City started the restoration.
“Uncle Nine of the Jun Family, get out here!”
Lu Li went to a yard where he put down Lu Renhuang and Jiang Qiling. Upon hearing his shout, a man came out at once and knelt in front of Lu Li. “Young Master,” he saluted.
“Where is the master of Voodoo Race?” Lu Li asked, “have you found a fix for the Voodoo Poison?”
“No…”Uncle Nine of the Jun Family answered in dismay, “before I could search his soul, the master of Voodoo Race committed suicide.”
“What?” Jiang Qiling was scared pale and her voice was trembling, “Where is my grandfather?”
“Still frozen.”
Uncle Nine of the Jun Family bowed, “Young Master, I am sorry. Please punish me as you see fit.”
“Get up~”
Lu Li was aware that Uncle Nine of the Jun Family was not to be blamed. The master of Voodoo Race was just too determined. He must know that he was captured to give the antidote for the Voodoo Poison, and anticipated that he would not be allowed to stay alive, so he committed suicide.
“Where is Leng Wuxin?” Lu Li said coldly, “How is she doing with the development of the fix?”
“There is no result yet.” Uncle Nine of the Jun Family shook his head and said, “I went to check a couple of days earlier. She was still studying. I don’t think she has made a breakthrough.”
“Let’s go and have a look!”
A large number of warriors were poisoned. The number of poisoned deacons and patriarchs alone reached more than one hundred. It was said that among them, some were from the Great Buddhist Temple and the Lu Family. More importantly, there was Jiang Tianshun. If he could not be saved, Jiang Qiling would be distraught. He was nice to her and one of the few that she actually could relate to.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement managed affairs of the Demon-slaying Hall. Lu Li did not want to waste time on those things. What he cared about the most was Jiang Tianshun and the other ones who were poisoned.
Lu Li went toward a castle. Leng Wuxin had been staying here to study the cure. It had been quite some time.
A deacon was guarding at the door. This man was assigned to work with Leng Wuxin. As Lu Li arrived, the deacon knelt down and said, “Grand Master, my lords.”
“Get up.”
Lu Li waved his hand and then added, “From now on, you don’t have to kneel when you see me. Tell everyone of the Demon-slaying Hall that they don’t need to kneel for me.”
Authorities were not created by people kneeling. Lu Li was in his twenties. He was afraid that those senior warriors kneeling to him would cut short his normal span of life.
“Thank you, Grand Master!”
The deacon led the way. They walked into a castle which was filled with a variety of Mystical Materials. Leng Wuxin was trying to develop the medicine here. She held a scroll that she would refer to. She was evidently thinner than before.
“It seems she really is working hard.”
Seeing how exhausted she was, Lu Li was less angry. He cleared his throat. Leng Wuxin was startled. She bowed quickly and said, “Young Master.”
Lu Li nodded. Jang Qiling could not wait to ask, “Lady Leng, have you found the cure for the Voodoo Poison?”
Leng Wuxin dropped her eyes and sighed. “I am sorry. Not yet. Young Master, please give me some more time.” She said.
“How much longer?” Lu Li asked. Maybe Jiang Tianshun and the others who were poisoned could not last that long. the Voodoo Poison was scary. Even though they were frozen, the poison was still spreading in their bodies slowly.
“I am not sure…”
Leng Wuxin shook her head and replied, “There are three grasses I cannot find in the Heaven Reverse Universe. I have tried many replacements but they cannot work. If I cannot find the right replacements, it will be incredibly difficult to get the antidote.”
“Three kinds?”
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, “If you have the three kinds of grasses, can you be sure that you will get the cure?”
“Yes!”
Leng Wuxin said with pride. “I have been studying this Voodoo Poison for quite some time. It is actually not complicated, much less toxic than the ones I used to make. If I can find these three grasses, I am certain that I can have the antidote.”
“Give me information of the grasses you need. I will send someone to look for them.”
Lu Li said. He believed that the entire Heaven Reverse Universe which contained many small worlds, there must be replacements of the three grasses.
“You cannot find them here…”
Leng Wuxin shook her head and said, “I have read through books and records of the entire Demon-slaying Hall. But the Heaven Reverse Universe does not have them. There are few replacements and even those have very different effects.”
Lu Li asked with a frown, “Where can you find the three replacements?”
“I think the families of the nine universes have them!”
Leng Wuxin said. She continued after some thoughts, “Also, the Prison of Ice and the Prison of Wind should have them. Two of the three come from the Prison of Ice and one from the Prison of Wind. They are not rare. I suppose major families of the nine universes should have them!”
“Prison of Ice? Prison of Wind? The nine Universes?”
Lu Li was worried. The Prison of Ice and the Prison of Wind were on the higher levels. Both were dangerous places, which was especially true for the Prison of Wind, which was at the seventh level. Even Earth Immortal Realm warriors could not make it back.
As for the nine universes, they were even more perilous with countless, powerful warriors.
What was more, if he went and that was learned by the Mage Imperial Universe and the Divine Imperial Universe, they could hunt him down. He might not survive. Last time, he tried so hard just to “steal” his way back.
“Prison of Ice? Prison of Wind? Let me go and have a try!”
Jiang Qiling was getting impatient. She had heard him speaking about those two places. She mistakenly thought they were not dangerous since he had made it back safely…
“Don’t act up!”
Lu Li said angrily. But Lu Renhuang was intrigued. He proposed, “Let me go. Lu Li, I’ve been to the Prison of Wood. I am familiar with that place, to some extent. Also… I have been longing to go to the Prison if Ice. If I want to reach the Semi-God Realm, I will have to learn a Profound Meaning in the family of ice. Therefore, the Prison of Ice is my holy land!”
Lu Li dismissed the idea at once, “Father, it is incredibly dangerous. The Prison of Gold is filled with powerful warriors…”
“Dangerous?”
Lu Renhuang did not seem to be bothered, “On the path to become a warrior, dangers lurk everywhere. Where can you be completely safe? If I want to sail against the current, I will have to be prepared for such dangers. I am determined. You cannot talk me out of it now. I have decided to try my luck at the Prison of Primordial Chaos long ago, even not for the Mystical Materials.”
