Chapter 184: Ghost Sounds
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“Greetings, Young Master Lu!”
Little did Lu Li expect, after Zi Lian got here, she stopped. She forced a smile and greeted Lu Li after she wiped sweat off her face.
Lu Li appreciated it secretly. Perhaps, Zi Lian was afraid that Yu Lingxu was going to kill him. So she stopped and greeted him on purpose. Looking at Zi Lian’s rosy face, Lu Li nodded gratefully, “Hi, Young Lady Zi. Go quickly. Many people have got to the peak.”
Zi Lian glanced to Yu Lingxu who was at her back and then nodded to Lu Li. She climbed up onwards in strides. Her glance at Yu Lingxu was clear, warning him not to anything rashly.
Yu Lingxu didn’t act recklessly. He just threw an angry glare at Lu Li. Then he followed Zi Lian in strides.
“Okay, it’s okay!”
Lu Li sighed with relief. He was lucky that Zi Lian was here. Otherwise, Yu Lingxu would definitely resort to violence. Lu Li was alone. Yu Lingxu, on the other hand, was at the middle stage of Soul Pond Realm and had Sixth-rank Bloodline. To kill Lu Li was a piece of cake.
“Swish, swish~”
Suddenly, a subtle piercing sound came up. Lu Li looked upward and only to see a small streak of wind coming at him.
“External release of Xuan Energy!”
Lu Li’s eyes grow cold instantly. Yu Lingxu still did it. He did it with mean sneak attack no less.
The external release of Xuan Energy was too fast. Without thinking too much, the ring on Lu Li’s hand lit up. The Mighty Heaven Halberd appeared in Lu Li’s hand. At the same time, he rolled backward on the ground.
“Boom!”
The wind hit the Mighty Heaven Halberd. A surge of power came through. Lu Li was knocked away. He rolled on the ground, and he was knocked off of more than dozens of stone stairs.
“D*mn it!”
Lu Li only managed to stabilize himself after he rolled off nearly 100 stairs. He got up with disgrace. Anger emerged in his eyes. If it were not for the fact that he reacted fast, he would be dead by now.
Lu Li shouted to himself, “Yu Lingxu, don’t give me the chance. Otherwise, I will kill you!”
Rustle, rustle, rustle~
It just so happened that several men were rushing by. They smiled a smile of understanding looking Lu Li in embarrassment. Lu Li got up and threw them a few glances. His fury grew stronger. Ye Yuhan and the others were here. He really became the last one.
Ye Yuhan didn’t stop. They climbed up quickly. Lu Li robbed where his arm hurt and followed up with his teeth clenched in hatred.
Eight thousand, 9000!
Lu Li was at the brink of stopping. He sat for a bit to have a rest. Looking at the last stairs leading to the peak, he resolutely released his Bloodline Skill.
It would take him the time for one incense stick to burn at most to charge to the peak. The Bloodline Skill could only last for an hour. It would be enough for him to reach the peak and find a chance to leave.
The silver dragon pattern on his back kindled. His muscles grew stronger. His pupils turned silver. He was wearing the Ghost Mask. Only his silver pupils could be seen, which looked particularly evil, like he was some kind of Xuan Beast in the shape of a human being.
“Go!”
Lu Li suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders lessened. Instead of walking standing up straight, he quickly crawled up on all fours. Instantly, he climbed more than 200 or even 300 stairs.
Five hundred, 800, 900!
The burden on his shoulders were so much so that Lu Li felt it hard to breath. The gravity now was at least more than 100,000 pounds. Staring at the last 100 stone stairs, Lu Li let out a beast-like roar and rushed forward.
Finally.
Lu Li was standing at the peak. The gravity vanished. He collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. After a moment of rest, he casted his glances to the distance to look for Bai Qiuxue and the others.
“Um…”
The peak was spacious. But he could not see anyone as the mist was thick on the peak. He could only see four huge cold iron chains reaching out through the thick mist. There were even faint glows on the chains. The huge Golden Coffin floating in midair looked more majestic from here. There was silver glow encircling the coffin like mercury which made the coffin more mysterious and strange.
“There is a saber!”
Lu Li’s eyes lit up as he saw a saber sticking in the Ancient Golden Coffin. Half of the saber were buried in the coffin. The saber was golden in color and emitting a strange sort of power and energy. The runes and patterns glowed. It must be no ordinary object.
“Can it be the masterpiece Divine Weapon used by Dragon King in his living days? Otherwise, why is it on the ancient coffin?”
Lu Li was eager to take it. What would be the rank of the masterpiece Divine Weapon used by a powerhouse of the Human Sovereign Realm? Ninth-rank of the Heaven Grade? Or above the Heaven Grade?
“Where are the others? Why is there no noise with so many people here?”
Lu Li diverted his looks from the weapon to the surroundings. His expressions grew solemn. Eight people got here but nobody was visible. There was only this much space on the peak. It was impossible for so many people to make zero noise.
“Little White!”
Lu Li called out lightly as he looked around. He was worried that something might happen to Little White.
“Whoosh!”
A streak of white glow shot out from the mist toward Lu Li. He fixed his eyes on it and realized it was Little White. At once, he became delighted. He stood up and hugged Little White.
“Squeak, squeak~”
In Little White’s mouth was an old looking parchment. It threw the parchment into Lu Li’s hand and squeaked to him affectionately. Lu Li was over the moon. He laughed, “Little White, nicely done!”
The treasures on the peak would be no average stuff. The parchment might be about some sophisticated Xuan Skill.
Without reading it, Lu Li put it away into his Interspatial Ring at once. After he made sure that Little White was not hurt, he asked with doubt, “Little White, where are Bai Qiuxue and the others? Why is there nobody around?”
Little White turned its head and pointed to the mist. Lu Li frowned. Did it mean that the others were in the mist? Then why were they not making any sound?
“Little White, lead the way!”
Lu Li thought that since Little White could go in and out of the mist freely, he would be fine was well. After he gave his orders, Little White jumped out of Lu Li’s hug and rushed into the mist.
Lu Li dared not to go too fast. The Mighty Heaven Halberd appeared in his hand. He approached the mist step by step. The mist was too thick. The visibility was just six to 10 feet. Lu Li asked Little White not to go too fast but to take it step by step.
“Woo, woo, woo, woo~”
About 65 feet ahead, a strange low noise abruptly reached Lu Li’s ears. That noise was like the sound of a ghost, blaring to Lu Li’s ears as if it came from hell.
Lu Li paused. He was afraid to move forward. He felt danger in his instinct. In the depth of his soul, a warning of fatal danger emerged.
“Little White, back!”
Lu Li yelled. Little White rushed back from the distance. He was hesitating as whether to move forward or not.
“Ah~”
Right at that moment, a miserable cry came out. Lu Li’s expressions changed greatly since it was Bai Qiuxue who shouted. The cry indicated…Bai Qiuxue was in suffering and torture.
“Ah…ah…”
The miserable cries went on and off. Lu Li’s expressions changed from time to time. He was experiencing internal struggle. Finally, he made up his mind and asked Little White to lead it way.
Bai Qiuxue said on the spiral mountain road that forgetting honor at the sight of money and forsaking teammates were not in accordance with her morale mind. Then how could Lu Li fold his hands and let her die?
“Woo, woo!”
The more Lu Li stepped into the mist, the louder the ghost sounds were. Lu Li felt his eardrums hurt and dizzy. Nevertheless, he could faintly see somebody ahead. He had to move on with his teeth clenched.
“Um…”
Another more than 10 feet ahead, Lu Li finally could see clearly the figures. He had found Bai Qiuxue and he could see Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan, Du Ziling, Yu Lingxu and the others.
“Leave—”
At the moment he saw them, the first idea in his head was to retreat.
Everyone was entangled by thin black vines. Apart from Bai Qiuxue who was giving out painful cries, the others had passed out. They all looked pale and very awful.
“Swish, swish~”
Still, Lu Li’s reaction was not fast enough. Thin black vines shot out from under the ground and entangled him. The ghost sounds near his ears got louder at once. Lu Li’s eyes rolled. He was seeing stars and passed out immediately.
