"Huff, huff!"

After slaying Uncle Scar, Lu Li took deep breaths, his eyes wide as he stared at Uncle Scar's severed head, still hardly believing it.

Could he really have slain a Divine Sea Realm martial artist?

To him, Divine Sea Realm martial artists were once like invincible deities. A little over a month ago, he was nothing, and he could only endure the bullying from people like Di Hu. Now, he could actually kill a strong warrior on par with Di Ba.

It felt like a dream...

However, this time, Little White had done a great job. Without Little White, Uncle Scar would have definitely escaped. Uncle Scar was too fast, and he couldn't catch up.

"This bloodline divine skill is so powerful!"

Lu Li was incredibly excited. Although he couldn't have killed Uncle Scar without Little White, he had successfully defeated and injured him, all thanks to the bloodline divine skill.

"Right, the time for the bloodline divine skill is almost up!"

Realizing this, Lu Li suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly searched Uncle Scar's body, finding some gold leaves and a yellowed secret manual. He didn't have time to check them, so he picked up Uncle Scar's longsword and his own bag, and fled with Little White.

He would soon enter a weakened state and fall into a deep sleep. Zhao Rui was likely close behind and could catch up at any moment. He had to find a safe place as quickly as possible.

After running for over ten miles, Lu Li became increasingly anxious. The area around him was barren, with no particularly hidden spots, and he felt the time was almost up.

Running a few more miles, his muscles began to contract, his aura weakened, and a deep sense of fatigue washed over him.

"Right there, let's see if heaven favors me."

Lu Li found a relatively hidden small cave and had no choice but to head there. The cave was small and shallow, so he found a stone nearby to block the entrance and said to Little White, "Little White, guard the entrance for me. You can eat anything except the Tianlin Blade."

After that, Lu Li wrapped himself in a blanket and fell into a deep sleep. At that moment, even a thunderclap in the sky wouldn't wake him.

...

Lu Li had overthought it. Zhao Rui and the others hadn't pursued him; they had set up camp where they had parted ways with Uncle Scar. Uncle Scar had told them not to go anywhere, and in the middle of the night in the wilderness, why would Zhao Rui wander around?

Lu Li slept soundly all night and only woke up just before dawn, stretching lazily. He lay there for a moment, then rolled up and got out of bed, confirming that the stone at the entrance hadn't been moved. The sky was about to brighten, and he felt a great sense of relief.

"Damn!"

Lu Li suddenly noticed a sword hilt next to him, the blade completely gnawed off. It was Uncle Scar's high-grade mystic weapon. Little White was curled up on the ground, sleeping soundly...

"Such a wastrel, such a wastrel!"

Lu Li felt a sharp pain in his heart. Uncle Scar was a Divine Sea Realm martial artist and Zhao Rui's dedicated guard. How could his mystic weapon be low-grade? It was at least a human-grade mystic weapon of the seventh or eighth rank, possibly even an earth-grade mystic weapon, and Little White had gnawed it to pieces.

But then he remembered that he had told Little White last night that he could eat anything except the Tianlin Blade. He awkwardly smiled and shrugged. If it weren't for Little White, he couldn't have killed Uncle Scar, so this mystic weapon could be considered Little White's spoils of war. He decided not to worry about it.

"Let's go!"

This place was too close to the battlefield. Zhao Rui and the others hadn't pursued him last night, but they would definitely come looking for Uncle Scar in the morning.

Lu Li didn't take Zhao Rui and the others seriously. The problem was that the Zhao family of Cold Cloud Mountain had many people, and he didn't want to leave any traces that might attract the Zhao family's strong warriors to continuously pursue him.

He put Little White in a sack to let it continue sleeping, then left the cave and headed north. He was going to Red Rock Mountain to steal the Red Phosphorus Eagle's egg and then find a way back to the city.

Killing a Divine Sea Realm martial artist had boosted Lu Li's confidence, and he felt particularly joyful as he ran. He had the bloodline divine skill, and more importantly, Little White's extraordinary abilities, which gave him the confidence to face a Divine Sea Realm martial artist.

As he ran, he began to reflect on the battle with Uncle Scar last night, mentally rehearsing and thinking about how to leverage his advantages in battle to improve his combat effectiveness.

He also considered how to use Little White's extraordinary abilities in combat.

Lu Li was 100% sure that Little White was at least a third-rank mystic beast, possibly even higher. Just being born with such incredible abilities, terrifying speed, and sharp teeth, how formidable would it be when fully grown?

Thinking of Little White, Lu Li touched the beast tooth around his neck.

Little White followed him because of the beast tooth. The way Little White looked at the beast tooth was clearly one of fear, which meant the owner of the beast tooth was definitely of a higher rank than Little White, at least a fifth or sixth-rank mystic beast.

"The origin of the beast tooth is known only to Father, but Father is still trapped in the Ice Abyss!"

Lu Li's gaze turned north. If he went straight for a few thousand miles, he would reach the Ice Abyss. If there were no mystic beasts blocking the way, it would take him only a few days to reach the abyss.

He was so close to his parents, yet it felt like they were worlds apart. He didn't have the ability to rescue them from the abyss, and he didn't even have the courage to approach it...

"Father, Mother!"

Thinking of his father being trapped for fifteen years and his mother's uncertain fate, Lu Li's eyes turned slightly red, and his heart ached.

He gazed northward, clenching his fists tightly and said, "Father, Mother, wait for your child. I will definitely find a way to the Central Continent as soon as possible and seek help from the Lu family's strong warriors to rescue you."

"Let's go!"

After calming down, Lu Li took large strides, knowing he had a long journey ahead to rescue his parents. Thinking too much now was meaningless; he needed to take it one step at a time. His primary goal was to reach Red Rock Mountain and complete the Liu family's mission.

...

With a detailed map in hand, Lu Li moved quickly, avoiding the Cold Cloud Canyon. He had almost been trapped there last time, and what if the other side of the canyon was guarded by the Zhao family?

He chose to bypass the Cold Cloud Canyon and climb the mountains on the left. Although the path was more difficult and took more time, it would definitely be safer.

"Damn..."

The path was indeed difficult, with no roads, deep ravines, towering rocks, and dense thorns. For an ordinary person, it would be almost impossible to move.

Moreover, the mountains were infested with venomous insects and surrounded by miasma. The only benefit was that there were no roads, so the beast tide wouldn't spread this way. Lu Li struggled through for over ten miles without encountering a single mystic beast.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lu Li leaped onto a large rock, a sharp whistling sound came from the distance, and a golden dot quickly grew larger. Lu Li glanced and quickly hid behind the rock.

A golden war chariot was approaching. It belonged to a super family, and any of their strong warriors could easily flatten the entire Wuling City. Lu Li didn't dare to provoke them.

The golden war chariot was moving too fast, and in a blink, it was in front of Lu Li. He didn't dare to look, hiding completely under the rock.

But at that moment, the golden war chariot suddenly slowed down and finally hovered above Lu Li, enveloping him in a powerful aura.

"Who is down there, lurking around? Come out!"

A thunderous roar echoed, shaking Lu Li's entire body. His face changed; he had been discovered? But the people above were at least Soul Pond Realm, so it was normal for them to detect him.

"Damn, I hope nothing goes wrong."

Lu Li silently prayed. These super family members viewed them like ants and could kill them on a whim.
