Chapter 1145: I Came Too Late

The gray-haired old man left. Lu Li and the Deaf Taoist resumed their flight in the Wicked Bead. Not long afterward, they met another old warrior.
This time, Lu Li did not go out. Warriors in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos were peculiar. They would pay attention to Lu Li since he seemed no different from any other warrior at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm. Lu Li didn’t want to be humiliated again. He sent the Deaf Taoist out to ask the questions.
During the 10 hours, they met six warriors but none had any news. But the six were dispatched by the Deaf Taoist to search. The Deaf Taoist was well-known in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. The usual warriors did not dare to disobey him.
Since there was no information, Lu Li decided to change course. If Blazing Huo and Lu Renhuang had come this way, they would have alerted warriors in this location. At first, Lu Li was heading toward the north. Now, they had changed to the west.
“Well? This place is uncommon!”
Flying over a mountain range, Lu Li detected that the wind was strange. In this area, sometimes the wind was slow and other times fast. There would be the occasional tornados as well. In a specific location, Lu Li believed the wind caused the sonic boom and there was a soul attack.
“I need to come and check it out when time permits!”
Lu Li noted down the location. There were over a dozen uncommon hills, which could offer inspiration. Maybe, this would be helpful for him to learn the wind-related Fundamental Principle.
Outside the mountain range, Lu Li saw a valley, where the wind had become violent and rapid.
He was interested. He flew the Wicked Bead over and saw that the wind was traveling at an exceedingly fast speed here under the influence of the valley. Even the Wicked Bead could travel two times faster in here.
“This is good!”
If it were not for the fact that Lu Renhuang’s matter had not been settled, Lu Li would stay here to cultivate for a while.
Outside the valley, the Deaf Taoist, who was sitting on the side, opened his eyes all of a sudden. A glow came out from his hand. He took out 10 jade talismans and one of them was broken.
“Lord, to the southwest. I’ve heard back from Lu Feng!”
The Deaf Taoist’s words uplifted Lu Li’s spirit. He changed course and asked at the same time, “Which location does this jade talisman represent?”
The Deaf Taoist thought about it before he replied, “It should be over at the Wind’s Gulf, not too far away. I can arrive in half a day when I fly as fast as I can. It is too bad... the wind here is so strong that the space is unstable, or else I can teleport over.”
“It is okay!”
The Deaf Taoist was about as fast as the Immortal’s body but the Wicked Bead was much faster. It would only take the Wicked Bead a couple of hours to arrive. It had been several days since Lu Renhuang came to the Prison of Wind. If he could last for a few days, he should be able to survive another couple of hours.
The Wicked Bead dashed away. Though Lu Li seemed to be calm, but deep inside, he was losing patience.
A couple of hours later, Lu Li forced himself to settle down and asked, “Does Blazing Huo have any strong Profound Meanings or skills?”
Blazing Huo ranked No. 2 on the Purgatory’s Top 10. He might not be as strong as the Deaf Taoist in his orc form, but Blazing Huo deserved his name. Lu Li decided he could never be too careful.
“Fire!”
That was the word the Deaf Taoist said. He dreadfully continued, “He is second to none when it comes to fire in the Nine universes. The most terrible thing about him is that he has absorbed three unique kinds of fire in heaven and earth. The three sorts of flames are born in nature and were quite dreadful. The scariest of them all is the Corpse Candle. Not even I dare to stand in the way of that kind of flames. I could be burnt into ashes.”
“Eh?”
Lu Li raised his eyebrows. “Can my Relic armor and weapon stand it?”
The Deaf Taoist gave it some thought. “Theoretically speaking, it should be fine. Relic armors are quite strong and the formations inside can dissolve some powerful attacks. But a mortal warrior can only be so strong. Lord... you must tread lightly. The Corpse Candle is white and there are babyfaces in the flames. You must move away as soon as you see it.”
Lu Li knew better now. He flew on in the Wicked Bead. Two hours later, he saw a huge gulf in the distance. He saw wind swarming into the gulf from all sides, forming some swirls. It was a breathtaking scene.
“We are at the Wind’s Gulf!”
Lu Li said to the Deaf Taoist. The former used psychic power to check the surroundings and soon he saw someone. He and the Deaf Taoist dashed out from the Wicked Bead.
“Whoosh~”
Lu Feng came up and shouted, “Lord, Deaf Taoist, if the information is right, the Ice Hunter is in the Wind’s Gulf. Blazing Huo and the others should be there as well—three days ago, someone saw them coming this way.”
Lu Li threw the Deaf Taoist a look. The latter gave a jade talisman to Lu Li without any hesitation and flew to the Wind’s Gulf like a big bird. Soon, he was inside the wind swirl and vanished.
The Wind’s Gulf was dim and dark. The views were vague. Not even psychic power could reach far. That huge wind swirl was like a beast’s mouth that could swallow all living beings.
“Bang!”
Not long afterward, the jade talisman in Lu Li’s hand cracked. He went into the Wicked Bead at once and flew the Wicked Bead toward the wind swirl.
As soon as the Wicked Bead entered the wind swirl, the Wicked Bead sustained strong forces because Lu Li did not let the Wicked Bead to travel along with the wind. Lu Li was shocked when he noticed that the strength of the wind was no weaker than that of a warrior at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm.
He flew the Wicked Bead down in a straight line toward the bottom of the gulf. The Wind’s Gulf bottom was over one hundred miles down.
“Lord, there are marks of battles here, traces of ice and fire-related Profound Meanings!”
The Deaf Taoist was at the bottom of the gulf and he shouted to Lu Li who checked with psychic powers, “There was nobody else down here but in the corner, there was a tunnel.”
Just as Lu Li saw this tunnel, the Deaf Taoist reported, “There is a Teleportation Formation in the tunnel. It should be linked to a small world or another region.”
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li came out from the Wicked Bead and ran into the tunnel with the Deaf Taoist. They saw a glowing black opening inside.
Lu Li let out his Relic armor and held his Relic weapon. He was the first to run into the portal.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li landed in a small world. The Xuan Qi in here was quite thin. There was rarely any trees or plants. It was a bleak place.
The Deaf Taoist followed him in. Lu Li took him into the Wicked Bead without hesitation and flew into the distance.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
In about an hour, Lu Li heard some explosive noises coming from the distance. He could vaguely see the sky was being torn apart. Many strange people were fleeing to all sides as if they were faced with the doom of the world.
“That must be my father!”
Lu Li used psychic power to check. The space over there was frozen, including the spatial cracks. Many large cities of ice were built in the air. It must be Lu Renhuang that mastered such an impressive ice-related Profound Meaning.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Someone was laughing. “Ice Hunter, how much time do you have left? How many more rounds of Icebound World can you release? Surrender, or I will burn you into dust.”
“Ice Hunter? Father!”
Lu Li’s heart trembled. The Wicked Bead charged forward.
Soon, Lu Li used psychic power and noticed a middle-aged man covered in blood with one arm broken. He was badly mutilated from burning.
Lu Li’s eyes turned red. He charged out from the Wicked Bead and shouted, “Father, I have come too late. Sorry that you have suffered so much!”
