Ye Cha came over at once upon receiving the information . He came with all the patriarchs of the Cyan Phoenix Race . His plate was full from dealing with various matters at their ancestral lands . That being said, Lu Li's business was the most important of all . Ye Cha took the incident seriously .
Ye Cha took over the investigation . Lu Li gave him full access . Many warriors were called over to the Inferno to look for traces and clues .
Time went on day by day!
But there was no progress yet . Lu Li was getting more and more impatient . Lu Ling seemed to have vanished into thin air . It appeared that the three warriors had come from above and they left behind no clue at all .
Lu Li's despair grew stronger as time went by, just like what he felt in the Wu Ling City years ago .
But this time was different and much worse . Back then, he saw Granny of Ghost Snake taking away Lu Ling himself . At the very least, he knew who took her away . He could find ways to look for her and to get her back .
On the contrary, he did not know how Lu Ling disappeared, where she had gone or how to save her .
Lu Renhuang should be on his way back . That being said, it would take him at least two months to arrive even at the top of his speed .
Lu Li was on pins and needles for all this time . He could not focus on cultivating or sleep . Jiang Qiling and the twins accompanied him every day and none could settle down to cultivate .
Half a month later, Ye Cha finally came to report back to Lu Li!
Lu Li's eyes glowed brightly with hope . However, Ye Cha did not seem to be here to deliver good news . He dropped to one knee, too afraid to look up . "Saint Lord, I am sorry, but I found no clue . It seems that the three people have come from nowhere and then disappeared . They left no trace behind . We scoured the Inferno, the Deserted World and we searched the Central Plains but of no avail . Saint Lord… I am incapable . Please punish me . " Ye Cha said .
Silence!
Lu Li said nothing . He closed his eyes, feeling exhausted . He let Ye Cha go . He knew that nobody in the world could find Lu Ling if not even Ye Cha could do it .
It had been a long time . If it were his enemies, they would have contacted him to discuss terms .
If that were the case, Lu Li would be delighted . He would give his enemies the Wicked Bead without any hesitation if that was what they wanted as long as he could save Lu Ling .
It had been a long time . There was no message delivered to him . This implied that the three had come for Lu Ling .
As for the relationship between the three men and Lu Ling, Lu Renhuang might be the only one that could provide some insight .
Lu Li told all to leave and stay in the castle for three days and nights alone . Finally, a piece of news from the City of Mystic Armor got him out .
Great Grandfather Five sent a message . Little White was back with Patriarch Eight and some unfamiliar beast eggs .
Little White crossed mountains and rivers with Patriarch Eight . There was no telling how long of a route they had covered . In the end, they stopped at the southeast of the Central Plains . Little White asked Patriarch Eight to pick up some beast eggs . Patriarch Eight suspected that Little White was looking for food for the Dragon Demon, so he asked Lu Li to take a look .
Lu Li was not in the mood to check .
He did not want to step away from the castle at all in case Lu Ling would come back all of a sudden or a message from the enemies would be delivered to him .
He asked Ye Cha to send a message to Patriarch Eight, telling him to come with Little White . Afterward, Lu Li went back to the castle alone again .
Jiang Qiling and the twins could tell that Lu Li had withered . He had lost weight . Even though worried, they did not know what to do . They couldn't even find the words to comfort him . Lu Ling was too important to him .
Several days later, Patriarch Eight came, together with Lu Zhengyang and Great Grandfather Five . Lu Zhengyang had been informed some time ago, but Demon-slaying City had many things to attend to . He must take care of the Eastern Land of Oceans as well . Hence, he only found time to come back today .
Lu Li asked Jiang Qiling to take care of Lu Zhengyang while he and Patriarch Eight went to the Inferno . At an open land, Lu Li said, "Take out those eggs . "
Usually, Xuan Beast was vivipara, not oviparity, unlike birds . Little White squeaked . Patriarch Eight took out more than a dozen huge eggs with black and white patterns from his ring .
"Buzzing~"
Lu Li set the Dragon Demon out . The latter was attracted by the dozen eggs as soon as it came out . The Dragon Demon swallowed the eggs all at once, hungry for more . The Dragon Demon looked around but found no more eggs . It turned to Lu Li and begged for some more .
"Good!"
This was the only piece of good news lately . The glow in Lu Li's eyes restored a bit . He ignored the Dragon Demon and asked Patriarch Eight directly, "What kind of beast is this?"
"The Feiyi Beast!"
Patriarch Eight was delighted . "It is a kind of beast that lives in the moor . The beast has one head, two bodies, four wings, and six legs . The Xuan Beast is only of sixth rank . In the moor, the beast can be very threatening but not so much outside . "
Lu Li did not care about these details . He touched upon the key points, "Can we breed this kind of beast on a large scale? If so, capture some and provide them with unlimited food . Let them reproduce . I need a large number of their eggs . "
"I suppose so . "
Patriarch Eight thought for a while and replied, "There are many Feiyi beasts in that swamp . There is a Beast King there, though . I think we can kill that Beast King and then throw in some low-level Xuan Beasts . Feiyi Beasts have no natural enemies . With enough food, the beasts can breed quickly . "
"Okay!"
Lu Li added after some thoughts, "Go and look for similar terrains around in the Central Plains . Find as many as you can . Put some Feiyi Beasts in each location . Provide them with unlimited supplies of food and station armies there to make sure that the Feiyi Beasts would not be attacked . Transport all the eggs here . You can build some Teleportation Formations and you work out the details . You will be in charge . Ask Great Grandfather Five to work with you . Bottom line is, I need a large number of those eggs you just gave me . "
"I understand!"
Patriarch Eight knew the gravity of this matter . That huge beast that made him shiver was Lu Li's spirit beast . Nurtured well, that beast could make great contributions .
Patriarch Eight did not concern himself about Lu Ling . There was little he could do, and Lu Zhengyang was here anyway . He must focus on the task at hand .
Patriarch Eight left . Lu Li felt he could breathe . At least, he had found food for the Dragon Demon who liked it very much, even more so than the egg of the Miemeng bird . He would now have the confidence to face powerful warriors of the nine universes once the Dragon Demon grew up .
He had several years before powerful warriors from the nine universes would arrive . Lu Li soon shifted his mind away from this . He pictured Lu Ling's face in his mind . Gazing into the sky, he murmured, "Sister, where have you gone? Who took you away? Will we… meet again in this lifetime?"
