The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 168

The Black Tooth City plaza was filled with people. The Chief Patriarch of the Ding Family had been waiting here early that day with many Patriarchs of the Family.

"Buzzing!"

A beam of light shot up to the sky. More than 20 people slowly emerged in the Teleportation Formation. The Chief Patriarch of the Ding Family, Ding Gui, quickly led the other Patriarchs to welcome them. He smiled, clasped his fists in front of his chest, and greeted, "On the order of the Family Patriarch, I, Ding Gui is here to welcome Lady Qiuxue, Lady Xiashuang and all of you, Ladies and Young Masters."

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang nodded. They were not a stranger to this kind of situations. The two walked out of the Teleportation Formation with the others. On behalf of all, Bai Xiashuang extended some greetings. Then she said directly, "Chief Steward, we are in a hurry to get to the Cliff of Purgatory. We will not disturb you for long. Please say hi to Grandpa Ding for me."

Ding Gui said some pleasantries again. Then he turned to two young men in the distance and scolded them, "Ding Yang, Ding Heng, why are you not greeting the two Ladies, and the other Ladies and Young Masters? Lady Qiuxue, Lady Xiashuang, there are two disciples of the Ding Family that are poorly disciplined. They will go with you this time. Please kindly render your help."

Bai Qiuxue was aware that two Soul Pond Realm warriors of the Ding Family were coming together. So she didn’t say anything. The ring of Bai Qiuxue lit up and a boat appeared in her hand. She threw the boat to the sky and the boat turned into a huge Iron-armored Ship floating in the sky above the city.

"Damn, the Bai Family is loaded…"

Lu Li was out of words to describe what he saw. Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue both had Interspatial Rings. Bai Xiashuang had a violet gold chariot and Bai Qiuxue took out such a might Iron-armored Ship with such easiness.

"Aboard, please!"

Bai Qiuxue glanced over. She kicked back with one leg and her body twirled as she morphed into a white blur and flew up to the Iron-armored Ship.

"Go!"

Bai Xiashuang was tired of waiting a while ago. She shot up. The other six Young Masters of the Bai Family followed up closely. Then the others all flew up as well. The Iron-armored ship was floating just several dozen feet up. Of all the warriors, the lowest Realm was the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. They could manage to jump for several dozen feet.

Ding Gui also went abroad. Not only did he go with two Fate Realm Warriors, he also brought along many maids and escorts who were evidently there to serve the Young Masters and Young Ladies.

Everything was arranged beforehand. The Young Masters and Young Ladies didn’t have to concern themselves about anything. Ding Gui became their butler. He assigned everyone rooms. The Iron-armored Ship was large with many rooms. More than 100 could fit in lit, at alone just a couple dozens of people.

Lu Li was given a room, but a very small one. No maid was sent to serve him.

Lu Li didn’t care about it. It was not a long way to the Cliff of Purgatory. If the Iron-armored Ship flew at the top of its speed, they could have arrived in four or six hours.

The speed of the Iron-armored ship was neither too fast nor too slow. All the Young Masters and Young Ladies were swept off their feet. They couldn’t stay in their rooms. All went out to the deck to appreciate the scenery and engage in chitchat about what they were going to do when they arrived at the Tomb of Dragon King.

Bai Qiuxue retreated to her room. Bai Xiashuang, on the other hand, could hardly sit still. As soon as she went out to the deck, she was surrounded and welcomed by the group of Young Masters and Young Ladies.

Lu Li stood by his door and watched them for a moment before he went back to cultivation. He now had some knowledge of his teammates that were going to the Tomb of Dragon King.

Of the 24 people, 17 were at the Soul Pond Realm of whom three were at the middle stage and the rest were at the initial stage. Seven people were at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm including Lu Li himself and Xu Fangfei.

All the elites younger than 20 years old of the Thousand-island Lake were gathered here. It was more than a treasure hunt. It was a test. It was an opportunity for the young generations of the Thousand-island Lake and the outside forces to exchange.

The three Royal Families all sent teams. Maybe all the elites and maverick geeks of all the Fourth and Fifth-rank Families of the Heaven Cold Kingdom, Heaven Frigid Kingdom and Heaven Martial Kingdom were here.

It was likely that there were going to be so many Soul Pond Realm warriors going to the Tomb of Dragon King that they were worthless. Lu Li, as a warrior only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, was going to be at the bottom. Even though the practical experience of these Young Masters and Young Ladies were less than Lu Li’s, they were probably equipped with treasures. Many of them were Bloodline Warriors…

"Low-key. I must remain in a low-key."

Lu Li had made up his mind that he would stay at the back of Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue. He would try his best to stay out of trouble. He only had to tour around in there with them. It didn’t matter so much whether he could get treasures. What was the most important thing was to come out of there alive.

The group of Young Masters and Ladies were making all kinds of noises as they were invigorated and worked up. The chance for them to compete with geniuses and maverick geeks from the outside world and fight for treasure with them came only one in a life time.

Lu Li didn’t mind them. He concentrated on cultivation. His Spirit Sea had been expanded for several times. When he filled all his Sprit Sea, he could break it through to the Soul Pond Realm. Of course, this would require more than a month’s constant cultivation.

Several hours passed before they knew it. The Iron-armored Ship was slowing down gradually. As they were approaching the Cliff of Purgatory, the Young Masters and Young Ladies were even more excited.

Lu Li was awakened by the loud noise. He got up and walked out. He looked forward and saw a huge cliff. Several Iron-armored Ships were parked there. Lu Li went back to his room and got out his Ghost Mask and out it on.

With this mask on, many Young Masters would figure out that he was the wealthy guest that squandered the 20 million Xuan Crystals on the drip of original essential blood. It would bring Lu Li many troubles.

Still Lu Li couldn’t worry about that too much. He didn’t want to be discovered by the Yu Family. Otherwise, as soon as he entered the Tomb of Dragon King, he would be the target of many open and concealed attacks.

"Swish!"

Lu Li had just put his mask on when a man flew over from an island not far from them. That one was so fast. Lu Li only saw a blur before a white-haired middle aged man landed on the deck.

Bai Qiuxue had come out of her room for some time. When she saw the white-haired middle-aged man, she, Bai Xiashuang and the other Young Masters and Young Ladies all bowed to him. Ding Gui saluted with respect and awe as well.

Bai Leng!

Lu Li knew who he was. He checked the information of this man who was so easily recognized as a middle-aged man with white hair.

This man was the Patriarch of the Hall of Combat of the Bai Family. He was one of the three strongest warriors of the Bai Family, at the peak of the Eternal Realm. He could reach the Noble Lord Realm at any time now. At the same time, he had the Seventh-rank Bloodline. He was among the top 50 of the Northern Desert Warlord List.

Bai Leng was very aloof and cold, as indicated by the character in his name. He didn’t even smile to Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue. He nodded and said indifferently, "According to our agreement, you will enter the Tomb of Dragon King at 15 to noon. Take a rest now."

With that said, Bai Leng kicked back with one leg and flew back to the small island down below. Bai Qiuxue asked someone to take control of the Iron-armored Ship and parked it near the island. Nobody wanted to go back to rest looking at the Cliff of Purgatory in the distance.

Lu Li was standing at his door, observing the Cliff of Purgatory far away. The precipice was about 3280 feet high and the rocks were dark-red as legend said. There were three Iron-armored Ships parked more than 1000 feet to the sides of the precipice. They should belong to the teams led by the disciples of the three Royal Families. Later, they would enter the Tomb of Dragon King together.

There were four hours to 15 to noon. None went back to their rooms. They waited on the deck.

Lu Li didn’t go out, though. He went back to his room to cultivate. He got out at 15 to noon and went out to the deck.

"Eh?"

Many men noticed the mask Lu Li was wearing. They were surprised. Some were even shocked. When Bai Xiashuang saw the mask, her expressions became very unpleasant. She snorted coldly.

"Lu Li?"

Everyone else was on the deck besides Lu Li. Xu Fangfei asked with uncertainty after she looked at him for a moment.

Lu Li nodded as a response. Soon, a huge sensation swept through the group. They were looking at Lu Li with new eyes. They never expected that this insignificant Island Owner was the mysterious wealth guest at the auction house that everyone was talking about recently.
