Chapter 91

Dada!

Just half an hour later, more than thirty war chariots galloped out of the southern gate of Wuling City. The Seventh Elder was indeed ruthless, only allowing people to pack the important assets of the Liu family, and then taking the remaining three hundred people out of the city on the war chariots.

Before the battle, the Liu family had sent all the women and children to several hidden strongholds, totaling two to three thousand people. If they had taken all these elderly, weak, women, and children, it would have taken many days, and the speed would have been much slower. Over a hundred war chariots would have been a larger target, making it very likely they would be caught up with.

Madam Mingshe killed people from the four major families in front of Lord Yu, and even killed Yu Heng Zhaoxi. In the end, Lord Yu was forced to flee in a狼狈 manner.

One can imagine the intense anger in Lord Yu's heart at this moment. He would definitely return to ask the Yu family patriarch and the powerful members to pursue and kill Madam Mingshe. However, Madam Mingshe was riding in an iron-armored spacecraft, which was extremely fast, and it was very likely they wouldn't catch up.

If they couldn't catch up, the anger in Lord Yu's heart would have nowhere to vent, and his gaze would turn to the Liu family. At that time, the Liu family would surely be left with no survivors...

Therefore, to protect the Liu family, the Seventh Elder had no choice but to leave the elderly, weak, women, and children behind and escape first. As long as they escaped, Lord Yu would not target those elderly, weak, women, and children, as it would not be good for his reputation.

As for whether the remnants of the four major families would seek revenge or slaughter the hidden women and children, that would be left to fate.

The thirty war chariots galloped through the night and quickly disappeared into the vast mountain paths. All the war chariots were pulled by two silver wolves, and they moved very fast. After a night, they were likely already hundreds of miles away.

Before leaving, the Seventh Elder had people set a fire, drenching the entire Liu family compound in black oil. Now, the entire Liu family compound was engulfed in raging flames, the fire reaching the sky, turning half the sky red.

In the hasty escape, many things could not be taken. They had to quickly escape to Thousand Island Lake and could not carry too many treasures and spiritual materials. To prevent the remnants of the four major families from obtaining them, the Seventh Elder had no choice but to burn everything.

The entire Wuling City was in chaos. The Liu family had fled, and the powerful members of the four major families were all killed. The city could not avoid disorder.

Many surviving outer hall warriors of the four major families began to疯狂ly抢掠 the wealth and treasures of the four families. Some smaller families also joined in, and inevitably, a battle broke out in the city. Wuling City, already filled with corpses, would likely become a city of corpses by nightfall.

...

The sky gradually brightened, and the chaos in Wuling City was almost over. The wealth accumulated by the four major families over many years was plundered. Those who participated in the plunder, including the outer hall warriors of various families and some smaller families, all fled.

The fire at the Liu family compound had been extinguished. The once luxurious compound, the most splendid in the city, was now a vast wasteland of ashes. The city was filled with corpses, and the water in the ditches was blood red.

Many civilians were mistakenly killed. Even though the chaos ended with the dawn, many ordinary people were still terrified and dared not walk around the city. More people began to flee, leaving this city of corpses.

In just one night, the bustling and lively Wuling City had completely changed.

However, this situation was very common in the Northern Desert. Such events were happening in cities all the time, and this was the rule of the Northern Desert.

...

Hundreds of miles southwest of Wuling City, on a mountain path, thirty war chariots were still moving. After a night without incident, the war chariots were hundreds of miles away from Wuling City, but that didn't mean they were safe. They wouldn't be safe until they reached Thousand Island Lake.

There were only thirty war chariots, so each one had to carry more than ten people. Many Liu family warriors were squeezed inside the war chariots, their faces filled with despair, as if they had lost their souls.

More warriors were injured to varying degrees. Although they were bandaged and had taken healing medicines, the bumpy mountain roads often aggravated their wounds, causing them to groan and cry out in pain from time to time.

Lu Li was in the third war chariot. This chariot only had him and Liu Yi. Despite the bumpy mountain roads, Lu Li remained unconscious, his injuries were too severe.

All the bones in his chest were shattered, and his internal organs were torn. This was only because he was wearing Zhao Rui's Earth Rank mystic armor; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Xiaobai was lying next to Lu Li, fast asleep. Liu Yi didn't know what kind of creature it was, assuming it was a small pet that Lu Li kept. Since it always followed Lu Li, she brought Xiaobai along.

Liu Yi sat beside him, her hair disheveled, her face and body dirty, and she no longer had the grace and demeanor of the Liu family's young lady.

She sat in the war chariot, leaning against the window, her eyes devoid of any light, her body swaying with the movement of the chariot, like a walking corpse.

The Seventh Elder and others did not dare to be careless. Several Sea of Gods realm elders were constantly probing fifty miles ahead and behind, ready to warn in case of any pursuers or intercepting warriors.

The concerns of the Seventh Elder and others were unnecessary. There were no incidents during the night, and the two days of travel afterward were also peaceful, with no sign of any pursuers.

Lord Yu's family was far from Wuling City, and it would take time for him to return. Even if he did return, the Yu family would first think of pursuing and killing Madam Mingshe. They wouldn't care about the small Liu family in the short term.

On the third day, the Liu family's convoy had already traveled over three thousand miles, day and night, with the silver wolves moving at an incredible speed.

At dusk, Lu Li woke up!

Liu Yi had fed him several high-grade healing medicines, and the beast tooth inside the mystic armor was faintly glowing, amplifying the medicinal effects to the maximum.

In three days, Lu Li's injuries had recovered significantly. His torn internal organs were rapidly healing, and his broken bones were beginning to mend.

Lu Li opened his eyes, looking at the swaying ceiling for a moment, a glimmer of spirit returning to his eyes. He turned his gaze to the side, seeing Liu Yi sleeping and Xiaobai also fast asleep next to him.

He didn't speak, closing his eyes to gather his thoughts, recalling the events of that night. A look of pain and worry appeared on his face.

"Sister~"

He murmured, thinking of Lu Ling being burned to a charred mass, his heart aching as if cut by a knife. Then he thought of Lu Ling being taken away, her fate unknown, and the two of them not knowing if they would ever see each other again. His heart ached even more, a sharp pain piercing through him.

"Pu..."

There was congealed blood inside his body, and as he thought, his anger surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, startling Liu Yi.

Liu Yi saw Lu Li's face covered in blood, his expression twisted, and his chest heaving violently. She quickly said, "Lu Li, how are you?"

"Neigh~"

Xiaobai was startled awake, its small eyes filled with worry as it looked at Lu Li, extending its little tongue to lick his palm.

Lu Li took several deep breaths, his expression gradually calming. He opened his eyes and asked, "Who took my sister? Where did they take her?"

Liu Yi, seeing Lu Li's gradually calming expression, felt relieved and explained, "It was Madam Mingshe from the Divine Maiden Palace of Qingzhou. They should have returned to Qingzhou. Don't worry, Lu Li, the Divine Maiden Palace is very powerful, and your sister will be fine."

"Where is Qingzhou?" Lu Li thought for a moment and asked, "How long would it take to get there from here?"

"You... can't go!"

Liu Yi shook her head and sighed, "At least not in the short term. Qingzhou is in the southeast of the Northern Desert, separated by the Ghostly Sea. You can't reach Qingzhou unless you reach the Immortal Realm, or use a teleportation array or an iron-armored spacecraft."

"Immortal Realm?"

Lu Li closed his eyes again, pondering for a moment. He opened his eyes and gazed outside the chariot, murmuring, "Sister, I will quickly cultivate to the Immortal Realm and rescue you. Stay strong, wait for me, wait for me..."
