They were not far away from the entrance and was unlikely to go back to have a look. Also, if the entrance had already been ruined, going back would not do them any good. On the other hand, if the entrance was still functioning, they could go back to the Heaven Reverse Universe regardless of the time.
Lu Li took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He sent Ke Mang out from the Wicked Bead and asked, “Ke Mang, if the passageway is ruined, can you find a way back to the Heaven Reverse Universe?”
“What...”
Ke Mang felt troubled. How could he find a way when there was no way? He could not just break down the barriers and force his way back. He did not understand such skills. Even if he did—did he have such abilities?
No!
Lu Li came around soon. He then asked Zi Ji, “Are there any passageways connecting the Paleo-beast Realm to the other universes? Maybe to the Heaven Reverse Universe?”
Zi Ji thought for a while. Suddenly, her eyes glowed and she replied, “There are none connecting to the Heaven Reverse Universe but there are some to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. My queen mother told me that there were two or three of such accesses but... they are closed!”
“Okay!”
Lu Li felt relieved. As long as there was a way back, they would still have hope. Closed? Ke Mang’s learnings of Inhibition Formations were strong. To crack those seals would not be daunting for him. If they could go into the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, they could find their way back easily.
“Great-grandpa, it’s okay!”
Lu Li relaxingly explained, “I can take you back to the Heaven Reverse Universe after we enter the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.”
Lu Li let Ke Mang and Zi Ji back into the Wicked Bead and continued. “The passageway has been ruined, which means that the Blood Apes are onto us, or they have had suspicions. So, from now on, great grandpa, please go faster. Let’s capture the Nine-clawed Silver Dragons and find a way to return.”
“I understand!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. Disturbed, Lu Li could not focus on cultivation. He went with Patriarch of Law Enforcement. They could communicate along the way and see if there were other options.
“Great-grandpa, have you heard of skills to open up barriers between different worlds?”
Lu Li asked on the way. Patriarch of Law Enforcement shook his head, “That is an earth-shaking skill. I suppose only Emperor of Heaven Reverse and someone like him could do that. I have never heard of other chosen warriors or Semi-God Realm warriors of such abilities. I don’t think it will be easy for me given my capacities.”
“Good!”
Lu Li nodded and hurried on in silence. He kept thinking about all the options and what might be the worst case scenario. No matter how he tried, his mood was not fine.
“What?”
Lu Li seemed to have sensed something thousands of miles later. However, he noticed nothing when checked with psychic power.
He thought he was mistaken and pressed on. At the same time, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if... an eye was staring at them from behind.
“Great-grandpa!”
He whispered to Patriarch of Law Enforcement, “Do you feel like we are being monitored? I have this itchy feeling. Something might be following us.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was taken aback. He did not stop and checked behind them with psychic power. A moment later, he shook his head and said, “No, I have no such feeling and I noticed nothing special.”
“That is weird!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s psychic power was much stronger. Lu Li thought he was wrong. However, for the next dozens of miles, the same feeling lingered on.
He stopped, out of a sudden and shouted, “No, we are definitely tailed!”
Everyone had a sixth sense, an intuition and Lu Li told him that there was something behind them, something that could not be sensed by psychic power? Was it cloaked?
“Cloaked?”
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li’s eyes which were glowing in silver light. Two silver dragons came out from Lu Li who was sending out the might of Beast God, influencing an area with a radius of about a mile!
“Thought so!”
About one-third of a mile behind them; from a tree, fell down three black dots to the ground. Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement checked with psychic power and both were astonished.
They were three half-transparent bats with the size of a thumb. They were cloaked just now, which was why they could not be spotted with psychic power.
“Our tracks have already been revealed and we have been tailed ever since!” Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at each other, worried.
They had thought that it was likely the entrance was ruined and now they were convinced of it. The Paleo-beast Realm knew about their presence and was planning on murdering them.
The way of return was cut off, and beasts were sent to stalk them!
When those strange bats flew, the space was not trembling and they had no evident smells of a beast. But they were fast. It was understandable that Patriarch of Law Enforcement could not find them. If it were not for the powers of Beast God, Lu Li would not have discovered them, either.
But it was pointless to dwell on such matters at the moment. Lu Li forced himself to calm down to find a way out.
The three stalking bats revealed to Lu Li the fact that many extraordinary beasts could be found in the Paleo-beast Realm. He and Patriarch of Law Enforcement might be buried here if they did not exercise caution.
Previously, Lu Li had thought that with Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Dragon Demon, and Little White, they could have their way in the Paleo-beast Realm. What he sensed now was an immense danger.
The paleo-beasts that governed many worlds two million years ago survived, even after the human race rose up. The paleo-beasts must have their unique skills and some powerful ones should possess unimaginably queer and horrifying skills.
Soon, Lu Li said, “Great-grandpa, we must capture a Beast King or a beast that understands human language. Our enemies are lying in wait. Without learning about the paleo-beasts, we are like two blind men, and we will head right into the traps of our enemies.”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was a seasoned warrior with many battle experience. He could remain composed at the critical junction. He said after some thought, “Knowing the enemy and yourself; you can find a hundred battles to win them all. You are right. But, will we alert them by this?”
“They have already been alerted. We cannot overthink now!”
Lu Li shook his head. It would only become worse without knowledge of the Paleo-beast Realm. They might even head into traps without knowing.
“Okay!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was convinced. The situation at hand was bad already. Could it become worse?
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li poured out some Xuan Energy to turn the site to a mess, and “by accident”, the Xuan Energy reached and killed the three half-transparent bats. Then, he flew away.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement searched along the way with psychic power. In two hours, they found a beast nest.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement checked with psychic power and said with certainty, “There is a flock of beasts up ahead, but not too strong. There is definitely Beast Kings, several of them. Do you want to take care of them, or should I?”
“Let me!”
Lu Li said, “I will contain them with beast power and Great-grandpa, please keep an eye out, and do not let any one of them go away. It’s better if we can buy some time even if our tracks will be exposed sooner or later.”
“Sure!”
Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded and floated out. Soon, he disappeared into the mountains.
