Chapter 580: Misdirection



Chapter 580: Misdirection

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li began his days at Lady Seven's villa. Warriors came together in crowds at the Drifting Cloud Region. Tens of millions from the three forces swarmed their way to the three major cities of the Drifting Cloud City. The cloud of war was upon it. The disappearance of a dandy body didn't attract much attention from the You Family.

Lu Li and Lady Seven remained indoors. Lady Seven sent a maid back to the Tu Family to collect information. The You Family was quiet. Nobody was concerned about You Yi. All the senior leaders were gathered at the Drifting Cloud Hall on a daily basis to discuss about the warfare.

You Yi was kept at the villa. Every time he woke up, Lu Li would knock him out again. You Yi never made a scene and he never had the chance to do so. But Lady Seven did rein her desire in. She didn't dare to persuade the carnal pleasure anymore. She looked sickly and worried.

According to the news brought back by the maid, the city would be under siege within a day. Armies from the three forces were split into three troops, launching assaults at the Stormy Cloud City, the Drifting Cloud City and the Flint Cloud City respectively. But nobody could tell which troop was bluffing and which was not or where the Human Sovereign Realm warriors were.

Regular scouts wouldn't offer any help at times of this. Therefore, Lu Li had the chance to stay at Lady Seven's villa. Others wouldn't find anybody even if they went to Meng Ji's yard. Lu Li had decided to hide here and take a wait-and-see approach.

There were more and more warriors out on the street. Average citizens were forbidden to go out. Anyone wandering around in the city without orders would be regarded as a spy and captured.

Lu Li had become agitated. If the three forces decided that their major target should be the Drifting Cloud City, then he wouldn't be able to control the situation. With several Human Sovereign Realm warriors fighting in the Drifting Cloud City, God of Meng would be denied a chance to sneak in. Even if he did sneak in, he would be killed right away after he was exposed.

"Please, do not focus on the Drifting Cloud City!"

Lu Li prayed to himself. If the three forces could focus on the other two cities, master of the Drifting Cloud Hall would bring powerful reinforcements over. Wise and outstanding as Lu Ling was, she must be an army adviser. Army advisers usually assumed command at the rear area so as to take the whole situation into account and plan accordingly. Once something went wrong, Lu Li could just send a signal and God of Meng would be able to go into the Drifting Cloud City to get Lu Ling out.

It was evident that Lady Seven didn't have a good night's sleep. She was feeling low. By dark, she ate something and went to bed by herself. Lu Li was in no mood to hang out with her. It was best that she could leave him alone.

Lu Li cultivated through the night. The next day, there came some alarming shouts of fights. The city became chaotic right away. Many warriors walked around in the city. Someone was yelling and shouting orders from patriarchs of the Drifting Cloud Hall that citizens shall not wander around or riot and that violators would be punished with death.

Lady Seven snuck out from her bed in a panic. She was wearing a loose nightgown with many hollowed-out places. It was a very sexy gown.

"It is happening. They are fighting!"

Lady Seven walked out barefoot and terrified. She had adopted a quite nonchalant attitude toward the war, claiming that she thought death was better. But when the war was really upon then, she felt scared out of instinct. After all, she was a girl that could not remain calm in the face of grave matters.

Lu Li was emotionless. He said calmly, "Don't panic. Get someone out there to pry for information. Even if the armies want to kill their way in, powerful warriors of the Drifting Cloud Hall are there. We will find a chance to run away."

Lu Li's unhurried and composed manner infected Lady Seven. She nodded and walked out, calling over a maid at the Fate Wheel Realm to ask about information. Given that Lady Seven's maid was also from the Tu Family, she could walk out with nobody finding her trouble. On the other hand, if someone from small families were wandering around, they would be regarded as a spy.

Lady Seven went to change into a black dress. She came back, sat next to Lu Li and waited in anxiety. Two hours passed before the maid came back. But she didn't gather much information.

She only learned that there were millions outside the Drifting Cloud City and powerful warriors were not uncommon. The Drifting Cloud Hall had sent over many warriors to the city wall and the protection formation was activated. But she didn't know much else.

Lu Li had noticed the protection formation was activated. It had been at dawn. The formation was like a flipped blue bowl over the city. However, Lu Li couldn't tell how powerful the formation was.

He didn't go out at will and continued to wait in the yard quietly. Lady Seven was fidgeting. She paced up and down in the yard. The maids were scared pale. If the city was undermined and the Drifting Cloud Hall was defeated, maids like them usually had to face miserable endings. To be raped was the least...

Atmosphere in the city was particularly depressed. Many civilians had been relocated so there were no large-scale riots. Everything was still within the control of the Drifting Cloud Hall.

Time moved on. The armies hadn't imitated their attacks yet. Lu Li was getting his hopes up. It would seem that the three forces were going to target the other two cities.

But it was within reasons. The Flint Cloud City and the Stormy Cloud City were located in the front of the Drifting Cloud City. If the three forces didn't take down the former two first and attempted on the Drifting Cloud City from the onset, the three forces would be between Scylla and Charybdis. Theoretically speaking, the three forces should take a gradual approach and attack the other two cities first.

Lu Li kept gazing out of the window, waiting for the Teleportation Formation in the city to be activated. Once the other two cities were under attack, the Drifting Cloud City would have to send over reinforcements. Now that the outside of the city were surrounded by warriors, reinforcements would have to be sent via Teleportation Formations.

"Buzzing~"

By nightfall, a ray of light was suddenly shot to the sky from the center of the city. That was followed by more rays of light. Lu Li inspected with psychic power right away, throwing all his concerns out of the window. There must be many powerful warriors in the city observing with psychic power. One more wouldn't be noticed.

"Good!"

Seeing many powerful warriors were stepping into the Teleportation Formation, Lu Li was overjoyed. It was all developing as he had hoped. The three forces were attacking at the Flint Cloud City and the Stormy Cloud City. The Drifting Cloud City was sending over help.

Lu Li didn't dare to stop observing for one single moment. He tried to sense the powerful warriors' realms with psychic power. If the master of the Drifting Cloud Hall of the Human Sovereign Realm left, Lu Li then would be able to call God of Meng over at any time.

There were indeed many warriors observing with psychic power. Lu Li's was not noticeable.

"No Human Sovereign Realm warriors?"

Lu Li frowned after a while. All the help sent were at the Noble Lord Realm. No Human Sovereign Realm were spotted among them. There were only hundreds of Noble Lord Realm warriors. More than half of the powerful warriors in the city were probably sent to assist the other two cities.

"Buzzing~"

After the time for three incense sticks to burn, from the back end of the Drifting Cloud Hall palace came a surge of powerful qi and energy that had enveloped the entire city. Then several men whooshed out and dashed into the Teleportation Formation.

"Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall!"

Lu Li felt even his soul tremble. Finally, the master of Drifting Cloud Hall made a move. When he left the Drifting Cloud City, it would be essentially without defense for Lu Li. He and God of Meng could make a clean sweep easily.

"Boom!"

However, what happened next shocked Lu Li and all at the city—

Right as the Master of Drifting Cloud Hall left by Teleportation Formation, a Noble Lord Realm warrior in the city began to smash Teleportation Formation which was turned into dust.

"Charge!"

Many were yelling as warriors flew up from outside of the Drifting Cloud City. They began to attack at the protection shield over the Drifting Cloud City. The shield was trembling violently.

"No, something is wrong…"

Lu Li was frightened. There were two warriors outside that were definitely at the Human Sovereign Realm. Clearly, this was a ruse. The Drifting Cloud Hall had been tricked. The real target of the three forces was the Drifting Cloud City. The worst had become a reality.

"Bang!"

Lu Li stomped on You Yi's head and the latter died right away. Lu Li charged out. The Drifting Cloud City was undergoing severe change. He must go to Lu Ling as soon as he could. If he had to die, he had to die with her.
