The Invincible Dragon Emperor - Chapter 1257: Seven Sacrifices

Lu Li kept on reading books on Inhibition Formations in the Wicked Bead while Blood Fairy consumed the energy inside the Crystal of Icy Soul. In the meanwhile, Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er were cultivating outside.

Luckily, Lu Li had removed the illusion over the views. It was a desert but it beat the blur. In the blurry environment previously, anyone would be agitated and restless after a while. They could wander away from the team easily. If anyone were staying in that world by oneself, they could lose their minds and be possessed with a suicidal urge.

Besides, Lu Li had given them hope. They could cultivate with a peaceful mind now. To cultivate here was the same as cultivating in their respective sects.

Time flew by as it always did when in cultivation. Soon, three months had passed. During the three months, everything had been quiet with no accident.

But today, peace was disturbed. Someone was coming from the distance. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess were alerted at once. They used psychic power to check.

“Ling Feidu?”

Lou Shi’er pulled a long face when he knew who was coming. The coldness on Holy Princess’s face became more intense.

That being said, since they were all from one of the 72 sects, they were bound to see each other at some point. Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess could not show their contempt of Ling Feidu and could not turn hostile toward him. With no other options, they stood up and so did the other fellow disciples.

“Ha, ha, ha! Brother Shi’er, Holy Princess, how are you?”

Ling Feidu’s laughter could be heard from afar and it was a hearty laugh. He was handsome and graceful. Those that did not know about his personality would mistake him as a one-of-a-kind handsome gentleman with a moral character that was second to none.

When they were not familiar, that was how Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess thought. However, at the moment, neither of them was interested to greet Ling Feidu. They just stood on the spot. When Ling Feidu arrived with his people, Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess just nodded as greetings. Holy Princess showed no intention of communicating so Lou Shi’er had to be the one talking, “Young Master Ling, look at how happy you are. Anything good is happening?”

“Of course something good is happening. Why else would I have the confidence to come to you?”

Ling Feidu said, with pride, “I have found some clues and figured some things out. I believe in less than a month, I will be able to solve the illusion and find the exit!”

“Really?”

Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess looked at each other. They both had serious doubts and clearly did not trust him.

Cabinet of Cloud was not known for having expertise in Inhibition Formations. Ling Feidu preferred to show himself around and usually, he would come out and socialize on behalf of his sect. How could he focus his mind on studying the boring subject of Inhibition Formations?

Lou Shi’er just gave a random reply, “Young Master Ling, this is awesome. We were just waiting for your good news. I will buy you dinner for 10 days to thank you if you can lead us out.”

“No problem. No problem!”

Ling Feidu waved his hand, quite full of himself. He looked around and soon, noticed the Wicked Bead. His eyes glowed. “Well, whose interspatial artifact is this? I think it must be a supreme Relic or even better.” He exclaimed.

Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess grinned. The cat was out of the bag, finally. Ling Feidu’s intention of coming over was clear. He was after the Wicked Bead.

Seeing that neither Lou Shi’er nor Holy Princess answered, Ling Feidu smiled, “So, this must belong to Brother Lu. Hiss, hiss. Deep rivers move in silence. I didn’t know Brother Lu has such amazing artifacts.”

Lou Shi’er forced a laugh but said nothing in response. He did move closer toward the Wicked Bead. If Ling Feidu tried to snatch it, Lou Shi’er would not stand by. It was not only because Lu Li had helped him, but also that Lu Li was their hope of leaving the Tomb of King Luna.

Holy Princess put her guards up as well. Noticing what they were doing, the smile faded away from Ling Feidu’s face. He threw a glance and said, “Guys, I can solve the illusion in a month at most. But when that happens, I can only make it last for the time for several incense sticks to burn. If you want to leave, come with me.”

While the others from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle wanted to believe him, Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess did not trust him at all. Lou Shi’er said after some thoughts, “Young Master Ling, go ahead. When you are finished, send someone to tell us. We… we want to cultivate here for a while.”

Holy Princess just nodded. She didn’t want to waste another breath. Ling Feidu touched his nose in embarrassment. “Fine. I will let you know. Later!” He shrugged.

Ling Feidu waved his hand and led his team away. A disciple from the Palace of Snow Mountain asked, hesitatingly, “Holy Princess, if Young Master Ling can remove the illusion, we…”

“Ha, ha!”

Holy Princess sneered. She shook her head. “Do you think pigs can fly? Ling Feidu sure is skilled in dishonest ways. He is trying to lure us away. Hmm!”

Lou Shi’er shrugged, “There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles.”

With that said, Lou Shi’er sat down by the Wicked Bead. He made it clear that he was going to protect the Wicked Bead. Holy Princess walked over and sat down on the other side and began to cultivate.

When the two leaders had made the decision, the other disciples from the Palace of Snow Mountain and Misty Drizzle would not overthink. They sat down in the area nearby and cultivated. Some of them stayed in small groups and chatted. Since Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess were friends, disciples of Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and Palace of Snow Mountain were on good terms. Some even began to flirt with each other…

But there was something they did not know!

Ling Feidu was not that far away. He was just thousands of miles away. Here, he took out many formation stones from his Interspatial Ring. Casting a cold glance, he said, “Go to four sides and stay on guard. Alert me at once if anyone is approaching. The others, stay and help me with the formation of Seven Sacrifices.”

“Seven Sacrifices?”

The other disciples looked at each other, confused. One of them asked, “Seven Sacrifices is to trap and murder people. Young Master Fei, what are you doing with this formation?”

“Are you… targeting Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess?”

Another person blinked in worry. “Young Master Fei, you are all from the 72 sects. We will be in trouble if our deeds are uncovered.”

“Shut up!!!”

Ling Feidu glared at them. “I will not kill Lou Shi’er and Holy Princess, of course. I just want to trap them. The one I am going to kill is Lu Lin!”

“Lu Lin?”

Several people looked at each other. They were not comfortable with what they were hearing. “Young Master Fei, Lu Lin helped us. It is not honest that we have him killed.”

“What do you know!”

Ling Feidu snorted in anger. “That punk has some treasures and they can help us solve the formation. But his realm is too low. I don’t think he can tap into the full potential of his treasures. Therefore, we must get them. That is how we can break out. Or, you can be ready to be trapped here for a thousand years.”

When he said so, the strong murderous intent scared the other disciples into silence.

Ling Feidu was their leader and they would not feel so bad as long as his target was not Lou Shi’er or Holy Princess…

“Get to work!”

Ling Feidu shouted. The others sprang to work and began to build the Seven Sacrifices that were famous in the Cabinet of Cloud.
