Chapter 569: Going to Town
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
“Let’s go now!”
Lu Li decided to take the risk. Armies of the three forces would launch their attacks at the three big cities in no ti. It would be impossible to sneak into the cities by then. What if the Saintess was killed after the war broke out.
Lu Li decided to sneak into the Drifting Cloud City to identify the Saintess. Once it was confird that she was Lu Ling, the rescue effort would be simpler.
“Let’s go back.”
Lu Li walked toward the cave with Ye Cha and Third Patriarch without saying more. At the entrance, Ke Mang let them in. God of ng opened his eyes at once.
When he heard Ye Cha out, God of ng frowned. Evidently, he felt to be on the horns of a dilemma.
“Later, I will go to the Drifting Cloud City on my own. You can wait outside and co to my aid when needed!”
Lu Li said. Ye Cha imdiately shook his head and said, “Saint Lord, no! The Drifting Cloud City is under control of military powers. You cannot sneak in. Even if you could, you would be identified. ”
“We must go in. We cannot confirm anything from the outside.”
Lu Li insisted, “I want to capture a scout and take his place. I can sneak in like that. Can’t you do soul searches? Get all the information of the scout, every single detail. I can take so disguise and get in as an impostor.”
Lu Li continued, seeing that Ye Cha was still frowning, “Once the three forces begin to attack at the cities, five Human Sovereign Realm warriors will be gathered. By that ti, even if God of ng could get Lu Ling out, we wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed. I am only a warrior at the Eternal Realm and I will not attract too much attention. Let’s say sothing went wrong and I was pursued by a bunch of Noble Lord Realm warriors, I could still escape. Also…Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall has promised to cover for for 10 years. When I show my na, not even the Master of Drifting Cloud Hall will have the guts to kill .”
“Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall?”
God of ng was surprised. Staring at Lu Li, he asked again, “You are sure that it was the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall?”
Being the strongest force of humans, there were more Human Sovereign Realm warriors than one could count at the Demon-slaying Hall and quite a number of the Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Grand Master was the supre warrior. God of ng had so knowledge of the Demon-slaying Hall.
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded. But he didn’t speak of everything.
God of ng looked at Lu Li for a while before he eventually nodded and said, “Then we will act according like you said, Saint Lord. Ye Hu, you go and find a regular Noble Lord Realm team leader and go in as his imposter. At least, you and Saint Lord can take care of each other.”
Third Patriarch threw Ye Cha a look and nodded after a short while of hesitation, “Okay, I will go with Saint Lord.”
By entering the city with Lu Li, Third Patriarch understood his mission was to die for Lu Li. Once sothing went wrong, Third Patriarch would have to cover for him for a while so that Lu Li could run. Third Patriarch didn’t hesitate even though he was clear about his mission. He was really loyal to Lu Li.
“Well…this is unnecessary!”
Lu Li, of course, understood it as well. He wanted to say no but Ye Cha insisted, “Saint Lord, if you don’t bring Third Brother with you, you can bring . You must go with one of us.”
“Alright, then I will go with Third Patriarch.”
The risk of being exposed would be greater with Ye Cha who was at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm whereas Third Patriarch was only at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm. What was more, Ye Cha was the Clan Leader. How should Lu Li tell the Cyan Phoenix Race if sothing went wrong with Ye Cha?
After the consensus was reached, Ye Cha and Third Patriarch left to find suitable scouts.
Lu Li waited in the cave, agitated. God of ng looked at him and said, “Saint Lord, you must remain calm. The more pressing the situation is, the more composed you should be. At your current state, you will reveal yourself as soon as you are in the city and you will have wasted Ye Hu’s life.”
“Yes!”
Lu Li forced himself to calm down. He sat in ditation while waiting for the return of Ye Cha. Ke Mang seed to be calm. He had been monitoring the situation.
After more than half a day, Ye Cha and Third Patriarch ca back with two people, an old man and a middle-aged man. The old man was at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm, sa as Third Patriarch. The middle-aged man had just reached the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. He appeared to be young and his Fate Wheel also had five layers.
Ye Cha searched the soul of the middle-aged man while Third Patriarch searched the old man. After a while, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground and died. Ye Cha nodded and said, “Saint Lord, this scout suits you. His family is not at the Drifting Cloud City and he doesn’t have any relative here. You must rember his information. His na is ng Ji. He is 34 and currently he is on the sixth squad of the third legion of the scout corps…”
Lu Li rembered everything. He was satisfied with this choice. This man had no relative in the city and the few friends he had were probably all sent out. He was only a regular warrior in the scout corps of the Drifting Cloud Hall.
Third Patriarch Ye Hu searched the soul of the other scout for a long ti. After an hour, he finally opened his eyes and said with a frown, “This person is an easy choice as well. He is from one of the families belonging to the Drifting Cloud Hall, a branch of the Tu Family. But the Tu Family is not well-received and they have so enemies here. I am afraid I am going to be sent out again after I enter the city. This person is a team leader in the scout corps and he has gone out with more than 100 attendants. It will be tricky to deal with his attendants…”
Lu Li heard him out and asked, “Should we go for another one?”
“There isn’t ti!”
Ye Cha shook his head and said, “The war is about to begin. There are less scouts on Mount Mist. Team leaders at the Noble Lord Realm are few and far between now. Let’s go with this one. Later, we will go out and gather all his attendants and kill them all.”
Third Patriarch nodded. Killing all this man’s attendants would make it safer. Otherwise, soone would detect sothing was off. After all, attendants were familiar with their leaders.
Third Patriarch sat with his legs crossed and digested all the information about this team later before he began to disguise. Ye Cha took out so materials to help with Lu Li’s disguise. He helped Lu Li change into the scout’s robe and armor and sared sothing on Lu Li’s face. After an hour, the work was done. Ye Cha stopped and asked God of ng, “Lord, what do you think? Anything stands out?”
“No!”
God of ng checked and said with satisfaction, “You really are the best scouts. If I don’t use my psychic power, I cannot see that this is just disguise.”
Ke Mang added, “Cyan Phoenix Race excels at disguising. You have a well-deserved fa.”
Ye Cha answered with a smile and started to help Third Patriarch. Lu Li could not see his own face so he could only see how Ye Cha did the disguise when he was helping Third Patriarch.
After Ye Cha did sothing, Third Patriarch’s appearance changed to be identical with the dead team leader. Lu Li didn’t even see traces of disguise with psychic power.
Lu Li’s confidence was boosted. Third Patriarch and Ye Cha went out again to call over the dead team leader’s attendants to kill them. Third Patriarch had gathered all the information of the team leader. Naturally, he knew how to gather the attendants.
Lu Li had to go back to patiently waiting. It wasn’t until 10 hours later that Ye Cha and Third Patriarch ca back. As soon as Ye Cha entered the cave, he nodded and said, “It’s okay now. You can go to the Drifting Cloud City now. A ssage calling back all the scouts has been sent out from the city. If you don’t go now, you won’t be able to enter after several days. Armies of the three forces will be there shortly.”
Ye Cha thought about it and added, “I will guard outside the city at the east. Saint Lord, if anything goes wrong, run to the east. I will assist you.”
God of ng stood up, nodded and said, “Since the Drifting Cloud Hall is gathering scouts, there will be fewer of them outside of the city. I will go to the east of the city with Ye Cha and we will build an illusionary setting there. If anything happens, go to the east or just crush the jade talisman. I will break into the city to help you out.”
Lu Li took over the jade talisman handed over by God of ng solemnly.
Lu Li understood very well that once the jade talisman was crushed, God of ng would kill his way into the city regardless of the consequences. In that case, the Drifting Cloud City might be the burial ground for God of ng.
