Chapter 92

After Luli was born, his father disappeared, and he grew up relying on his sister, Luling. Luling was both his sister and his mother, and his feelings for her surpassed everything else; she was his entire world.

Luling, who lost her parents at the age of four, had to endure hardships to raise Luli, while also guarding against the open and hidden dangers within the tribe and enduring the bullying of the tribal people.

Over the years, Luling had suffered so much and done so much for Luli that he could never repay her in his lifetime.

Except for the few days Luling went missing when Luli was ten, he had almost never been separated from her for long. The thought of not knowing how long they would be apart, or even the possibility of never seeing her again, made Luli's heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.

At this moment, he secretly vowed to find Luling, to become a powerful person, to protect her for the rest of his life, and to ensure she would never suffer, be hurt, or shed a single tear again.

...

Looking at Luli's determined face, Liu Yi sighed softly. She wanted to say something but couldn't bear to discourage him.

Was it so easy to break through to the Immortal Realm? His grandfather spent his entire life trying to forge a Life Wheel and break through to the Life Wheel Realm, let alone the Immortal Realm above it.

Moreover, even if Luli could break through to the Immortal Realm, would he be able to find Luling?

Liu Yi had heard some things about the Divine Maiden Palace; it was one of the top forces in Qingzhou, with countless strong individuals. Could the Immortal Realm easily suppress the Divine Maiden Palace?

Liu Yi fell silent, and Luli also fell silent. Xiao Bai glanced at Luli a few times, saw that he was fine, and curled up to sleep beside him again.

After a long while, Luli opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yi, asking, "Do you have any water? Oh, right... where are we going now?"

The wheels kept rolling, and the war chariot jolted. Luli knew they were on the war chariot without looking. Liu Yi poured a cup of water, helped Luli sit up, and gave him some water to drink before explaining, "We are heading south, to Thousand Island Lake."

Luli drank some water, and his mouth and tongue felt less dry. He frowned and asked, "Where is Thousand Island Lake? Why are we going there?"

Liu Yi's eyes dimmed, and she said bitterly, "If we don't go to Thousand Island Lake, we will die. If we go to Thousand Island Lake, we can save our lives."

Liu Yi recounted the events of that night, and Luli understood the general situation, but he still didn't understand why they were going to Thousand Island Lake. He asked, "Isn't Thousand Island Lake in the Northern Desert? If it is, wouldn't the Yu family send some strong individuals to finish us off?"

"It is in the Northern Desert!"

Liu Yi said firmly, "But even the three royal families dare not send people into Thousand Island Lake. There is a rule in Thousand Island Lake: any super-family member who dares to enter will be killed on sight!"

Luli raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "Who set this rule?"

"The king of Thousand Island Lake, the Heavenly Prison Elder!"

Liu Yi said with admiration, "Two thousand years ago, the Heavenly Prison Elder appeared in Thousand Island Lake and set this rule. For over two thousand years, this rule has never been broken."

After Liu Yi explained in detail, Luli finally understood why the Liu family was fleeing to Thousand Island Lake.

Thousand Island Lake is in the middle of the Northern Desert, at the intersection of Tianwu, Tianliang, and Tianhan Kingdoms. The lake is very large, ten times the size of Wuling County, with over a thousand large islands and countless small islands, hence its name.

Being at the intersection of three kingdoms, this place is a no-man's land, always a haven for wandering warriors. After the Heavenly Prison Elder went to Thousand Island Lake two thousand years ago, it became a paradise independent of the three kingdoms.

The Northern Desert has countless county cities and families, and every day, battles like the one in Wuling County take place. Every day, countless families are destroyed and pursued. Those warriors whose families were exterminated have nowhere to run and eventually all fled to Thousand Island Lake.

Because!

Thousand Island Lake is absolutely safe. There are rules there, and although there is killing everywhere, at least the major families of the three kingdoms do not dare to enter to pursue and kill.

There are also countless warriors who kill and rob, or attack the children of major families and are pursued, who eventually flee to Thousand Island Lake.

Thousand Island Lake has become increasingly powerful and is now on the verge of becoming the fourth major force in the Northern Desert.

The three royal families have all sent troops and even invaded Thousand Island Lake together, but they all failed, suffering heavy losses and retreating.

Because there is a Heavenly Prison Elder inside, a two-thousand-year-old, incredibly powerful old immortal.

No one knows the true strength of the Heavenly Prison Elder, but many people know that he ranks third on the Northern Desert War God List, above the leaders of the three royal families.

Thousand Island Lake is a paradise for criminals, an adventurer's haven, a home for wandering warriors, and one of the most dangerous places in the Northern Desert.

Lord Yu will eventually destroy the Liu family. Even if the Liu family flees to Tianhan or Tianliang Kingdoms, it is not safe. Lord Yu can easily send a strong individual to destroy the Liu family. Therefore, they can only flee to Thousand Island Lake.

"Grandpa Qi used to know an island lord in Thousand Island Lake. This time, we will at least have a place to stay, hide for a while, and see what happens..."

Liu Yi said this last sentence, her eyes losing their luster. The former overlord of Wuling City was now fleeing like a stray dog, with an uncertain future.

The Liu family, at its strongest, had three Soul Pond Realm warriors, and Liu Rufeng had a good chance of breaking through to the Life Wheel Realm. Now, the family has no Soul Pond Realm warriors left, and only about twenty Divine Sea Realm warriors remain, making it a very weak second-tier family.

Liu Yi saw no hope, no future for the Liu family. Perhaps, even if they went to Thousand Island Lake, the Liu family's ultimate fate would still be to be swallowed by other families or forces, and to sink into obscurity...

Liu Yi sat on the war chariot, disheartened, and Luli fell silent, beginning to think about his own path.

Originally, he and Luling planned to flee to Tianwu City, find a way to join a fifth-tier royal family, and teleport to Central State to return to the Lu family.

Now, it seemed that this path was impossible. Luling could not escape responsibility for the deaths of Yu Hen and Zhao Xi. With Lord Yu's abilities, he would certainly investigate their situation thoroughly. If Lord Yu couldn't catch Grandma Dark Snake, he would surely try every means to kill Luli and the Liu family to vent his anger.

After much thought...

Luli realized that his only option was to follow the Liu family to Thousand Island Lake and hide there for a while. He would have to wait until Lord Yu forgot about the Liu family and himself before finding a way to join one of the three royal families and search for his sister.

"Sigh..."

His parents were still at the bottom of the Ice Abyss, and Luling had been taken far away to Qingzhou. Luli found his path becoming increasingly difficult.

"No matter how difficult, I must walk it!"

After a moment, Luli's eyes became particularly determined. He had the Silver Dragon bloodline, he had Xiao Bai, he was a descendant of the Lu family, and he had good potential.

As long as he could find Luling and save his parents, he was willing to endure any hardship and suffering.

He wanted to become strong, even stronger, and he would never again watch helplessly as Luling was taken away!

At this moment, Luli's resolve to become a strong person became particularly intense, and his mindset became particularly steady, as solid as a rock.
