Chapter 92: Thousand-island Lake

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

After Lu Li was born, his father went missing. Since he was a kid, he had been together with Lu Ling and helping each other in difficulties. Lu Ling was his sister, and on some level, his mother. His feeling towards Lu Ling was stronger than anyone else. Lu Ling meant the world to him.

Lu Ling lost her parents when she was four. Nevertheless, she had to endure all kinds of hardships to raise Lu Li, protecting him from both open and covert attacks in the tribe, and bear the insults from the people in the tribe.

In those years, Lu Ling had suffered a lot and had done so many things for Lu Li that he couldn’t repay her for the rest of his life.

Apart from the few days Lu Ling went missing when he was ten, Lu Li never was separated from her for a long time. On the thought that nobody could know how long they were going to be away from each other this, or even for the rest of their lives, Lu Li could feel his heart being torn apart and twisted with a knife in it.

At this moment, Lu Li swore secretly that he would find Lu Ling, and that he would become a powerful warrior to protect Lu Ling for the rest of her life from all pain, all injures and all tears.

Seeing the determined look on Lu Li’s face, Liu Yi sighed secretly. She wanted to say something but did not want to crush him.

How could one make it to the Eternal Realm so easily? Her grandfather had spent his entire life without being able to create one Fate Wheel or make it to the Fate Wheel Realm let alone the Eternal Realm.

Also, even if Lu Li could make the breakthrough and reach Eternal Realm, who could say for sure that he could find Lu Ling?

Liu Yi had some information about the Palace of Goddess. That was one of the most powerful forces of the Cyan Plains with numerous powerhouses. How could a warrior of the Eternal Realm sweep away the Palace of Goddess easily?

Liu Yi said nothing, so did Lu Li. Little White looked at Lu Li for a bit. Seeing that he was okay, it cuddled up and fell into sleep again next to him.

After another hour, Lu Li opened his eyes and looked to Liu Yi. “Is there any water? Also… where are we heading?”

The wheels had been rolling and the chariots were jolting. Lu Li knew that they were on the chariots without even having to look. Liu Yi poured him a cup of water, helped Lu Li sit up and drink. Then she explained, “We are heading towards the south, to the Thousand-island Lake.”

After he had some water, Lu Li no longer felt his mouth and tongue so dry. Then he asked with knitted eyebrows, “Where is the Thousand-island Lake? Why are we going there?”

Light died out in Liu Yi’s eyes. She answered bitterly, “If we don’t go there, we will all die. We can only save our lives at the Thousand-island Lake.”

Liu Yi told Lu Li about that night. Lu Li now had some sense of what happened. Yet, he still did not understand why they were going to the Thousand-island Lake, so he asked, “Isn’t the Thousand-island Lake at the Northern Desert? If so, if the Yu Family sends some powerful warriors over, won’t we be doomed all the same?”

“It is at the Northern Desert!”

Liu Yi replied with certainty, “However, even the three Royal Families, let alone the Yu Family, didn’t dare to send anyone into the Thousand-island Lake. The Thousand-island Lake has a rule, any one of the Super Families who dares to step in will be killed with no questions asked.”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows since he was shocked and he asked, “Who set this rule?”

“The throne of the Thousand-island Lake, the Old Man of the Heaven Prison.”

Liu Yi said with admiration, “Two thousand years ago, the Old Man of the Heaven Prison showed himself in the Thousand-island Lake and put forth this rule. In 2000 years’ time, the rule is never overturned.”

After some detailed account from Liu Yi, Lu Li finally understood it all. He now knew why the Liu Family is seeking asylum at the Thousand-island Lake.

The Thousand-island Lake was located in the middle of the Northern Desert, in the common border of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, Heaven Frigid Kingdom, and Heaven Cold Kingdom. The lake was enormous, 10 times the size of the Wu Ling County, with thousands of big islands and even smaller islands inside which was why it was called the Thousand-island Lake.

Since it was where the three kingdoms bordered on each other, then no kingdom attended to the business of the region, making it a paradise of the strayed warriors. Two thousand years ago, after the Elder Heaven Prison went to the Thousand-island Lake, it became a heaven that was independent from the three kingdoms.

There were countless counties and families in the Northern Desert. Every day, battles like that one in the Wu Ling County that night were going on. Every day, so many families were destroyed or hunted down. The warriors that had their entire families lost had nowhere to be. In the end, they all went to the Thousand-island Lake.

There was a reason for that!

The Thousand-island Lake was safe. It had its own rules. Even though killing and murdering were going on in there as well, at least the three Royal Kingdoms dared not to go in there to pursue someone.

Many warriors that killed people for their properties or that had attacked and murdered disciples of Big Families were hunted down. Those warriors, in the end, all run to the Thousand-island Lake.

The Thousand-island Lake got stronger and stronger. In recent years, it was as though the Thousand-island Lake was going to grow to a fourth major force in the Northern Desert.

The three Royal Families all sent out forces and even teamed up to invade the Thousand-island Lake once, but they all suffered defeat on the verge of victory and left after suffering from great casualties.

The reason was that there was an the Old Man of the Heaven Prison, an old man with insurmountable fighting abilities that just could not die after living for 2000 years.

Nobody knew the true power of Elder Heaven Prison the Old Man of the Heaven Prison’s combat ability. However, many did know that he ranked No. 3 on the Northern Desert Warlord List, a rank higher than the Family Patriarchs of the three Royal Families.

The Thousand-island Lake was the paradise of criminals, the fairyland of adventurers, and the home of strayed warriors. At the same time, it was one of the most dangerous places in the Northern Desert.

Lord Yu would destroy the Liu Family sooner or later. Even if the Liu Family could flee to the Heaven Frigid Kingdom or the Heaven Cold Kingdom, they wouldn’t be safe. Lord Yu could send any powerful warrior out and end the Liu Family. So, the only option left was to flee to the Thousand-island Lake.

“Grandpa Seven once knew an Island Owner in the Thousand-island Lake. At least, we will have some place to settle down and to hide for a while. We’ll see…”

After saying this, the light dimmed in Liu Yi’s eyes again. The former Overlord of the Wu Ling County was now fleeing like a stray dog and was faced with an uncertain future.

The Liu Family at its peak had three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. Liu Rufeng once had the hope to make a go at the Fate Wheel Realm. Now, not even a single warrior of the Soul Pond Realm was left. Merely less than 20 warriors of the Spirit Sea Ream remained, which made the Liu Family degrade to a Second-rank Family, a weak one no less.

Liu Yi could see no hope, no prospect. Maybe when they got to the Thousand-island Lake, the ending waiting for the Liu Family would still be annexation to another force or family, and the Liu Family would fall forever…

Liu Yi sat in the chariot, depressed. Lu Li kept silent. He was now thinking about his own path.

Previously, he and Lu Ling wanted to go to the Heaven Martial City and figure out a way to join a Fifth-rank Family. Then they would be teleported to Central Plains and get back to the Lu Family [1].

Now, it seemed that this path was impossible. Lu Ling had something to do with the death of Yu Hen and Zhao Xi. Based on Lord Yu’s power, he could figure out everything about Lu Li and Lu Ling. In case Lord Yu could not catch up with Ghost Snake Granny, he would definitely try to kill Lu Li and the Liu Family to vent his anger.

After some thinking…

Lu Li realized that he had to go to the Thousand-island Lake with the Liu Family to lay low for a while. When Lord Yu forgot about the Liu Family and himself, he would work something out to join the three Royal Families and then try to locate his sister.

“Alas…”

His father and mother were still at the bottom of the Ice Abyss, and Lu Ling was brought to Cyan Plains. Lu Li found that his road ahead was getting increasingly difficult.

“But I have to do it anyway!”

After a while, determination emerged in Lu Li’s eyes. He had the Silver Dragon Bloodline. He had Little White with him. He was the offspring of the Lu Family and he was gifted.

As long as he could find Lu Ling and save his parents, Lu Li was willing to endure any hardship and difficulties along the way.

He had to become stronger and more powerful. He would not allow Lu Ling to be taken away right in front of his eyes by someone anymore!

At this moment, Lu Li’s desire to become a powerful warrior became intense. His mental state became steady as a rock.

[1] This is the Family Lu Li belongs to, the 陆家.
