"Keep an eye out!"

Lu Li decided to act upon it. He hoped to learn the Walking Puppet Method in one day. He didn't need to make one. He just wanted to repair the two and make them work.

Lu Li walked to a corner, took out the scroll and began to study it. Hu Lang and Wei Yuan looked at Lu Li as he did so but smiled bitterly.

A frantic last-minute effort?

Lu Li was too naïve. How much help could an occult skill be of? If it could enable an Eternal Realm warrior to kill a Human Sovereign Realm warrior then it wouldn't be a skill but some magic.

Even if magic could work, could Lu Li learn it in one day? Was he asking for the moon?

Wei Yuan sighed but said nothing. He still watched the door intensely, keeping his guards up. Hu Lang didn't move away, either. He stayed near the door, ready to fight with all his strength at any time.

Lu Li had studied the ancient language for some time. He was not skilled at it but he could read and get the meaning. He read the scroll in depth. It was a large hide scroll with more than 10,000 characters crammed on it, which made it hard to read.

Lu Li spent four hours to read it through and understand the meaning.

During the four hours, there were constant banging on the door. The three Human Sovereign Realm warriors didn't give it up on trying to destroy the Inhibition Formation.

Any Inhibition Formation would require energy which was depleting with every blow. The three Humans Sovereign Realm warriors were ferocious. It was possible that they believed the energy would run out as long as they kept attacking at the door. At that point, the door would open.

"Alas…"

Lu Li first checked the situation outside and then sighed. He had read the hide scroll through and through only to see that it was unlikely for him to repair the Walking Puppets.

Walking Puppets required souls of beasts, without which the Walking Puppets were just piles of useless iron. Where could Lu Li get souls of powerful beasts when he was trapped in the back hall?

What was more, it was a complicated process to build a Walking Puppet. Without help or days of time to spare, Lu Li couldn't repair the Walking Puppets even if he had beast souls now.

Lu Li threw the scroll into his Interspatial Ring right away and began to locate other methods.

It had been more than four hours and yet the attack was still going on, indicating that Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two would not quit. They must know that the Wei Family reinforcement couldn't arrive any time soon before they came to kill Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't get up. He was still sitting with his legs crossed in the corner in meditation but he failed to see a way out after spent a couple of hours pondering.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

It seemed that the noise was getting louder and louder. Lu Li looked at Hu Lang and Wei Yuan. The latter two were anxious. Wei Yuan was bleached in fear.

"The energy in the underground palace is reducing?"

Lu Li stood up and asked. Hu Lang answered, nodding bitterly, "Yes. I don't know how long the underground palace has been here. But the energy to sustain the Inhibition Formation is running thin. I don't think it can hold out longer under the constant attacks from three Human Sovereign Realm warriors…"

"Young Master Li, don't worry."

Hu Lang added, "Later when the door is bombed open, I will kill a way out. I will try to stall Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two while you find a chance to get to the exit. When you get there, I will destroy the tunnel right away. Maybe the three of them cannot be trapped for long but I think I can buy you the time for several incense sticks to burn. Then, you can get to the Island of Tranquility quickly and teleport away."

Hu Lang had been deliberating about this. He thought it over and over and he must have some confidence to lay out this plan.

Wei Yuan was paler. Hu Lang would create a chance for Lu Li to run but he would not think of Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan had mixed feelings. After a while, he made up his mind and said, "Young Master Lu, later I will try to stall one of them as hard as I can. When you are out, tell my Family Patriarch to treat my families and relatives well."

Wei Yuan was ready to die here with Hu Lang. Now that death was inevitable, he might just as well figure out a way for Lu Li to escape. Lu Li was received by the abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple and the most distinguished guest there. Even the Wei Family Patriarch had to treat Lu Li with respect. If Lu Li could remember Wei Yuan for the great deed, then Wei Yuan's families would have a comfortable future.

Lu Li understood the rationale of Wei Yuan's thought but he said nothing. They hadn't crossed the bridge yet and it was not the time for this talk.

Sending others to death just to have a chance to escape? That was not who Lu Li was even though Hu Lang was here to die for him at critical moments.

Of course, when it really was at the moment of life and death, Lu Li wouldn't be so stupid as to bury himself here with Hu Lang and Wei Yuan. That was not loyalty but foolish actions. When it came to it, Lu Li would run and try his best to get revenge for Hu Lang and Wei Yuan.

That being said, Lu Li would not give up till the last possible moment. He strolled up and down the hall while thinking of a way out.

Too bad Little White was not here or else he could have better help. Little White was strong enough. On second thought, he was glad Little White was not here. Otherwise, this might cost Little White's life as well.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The banging on the door grew harder. The energy in the underground palace was decreasing and the Inhibition Formation was weakening.

Lu Li hadn't found a way. He took out the scroll on the Walking Dead again, figuring he might give it another try.

"Eh?"

Lu Li used psychic power and spotted an Interspatial Ring which was put together with the scroll. He had got the ring from the palace and there seemed to be a beast claw within.

Lu Li didn't pay much attention to it before but now he was intrigued. Taking the ring out, Lu Li checked it with psychic power.

"Buzzing!"

Lu Li's eyes suddenly glowed in all brightness as he trembled in excitement. He felt chills over his body and he was clearly stirred up.

"What is it?"

Sensing something off with Lu Li, Hu Lang asked. Wei Yuan looked over in confusion as well.

Lu Li said nothing. He used Xuan Energy to open the ring and took out the huge beast claw out from it.

"Buzzing~"

The claw that was the size of two human beings appeared in the hall. The claw was golden in color and there were many small scales. There were sharp hooks on the claw which looked like that of a falcon except that this one had five fingers. The claw was cut off clean from the wrist.

The qi and energy contained in the beast claw were strong. It was in the Interspatial Ring for possibly decades or hundreds of years and yet when it was out, the qi and energy were still suffocating. Even Hu Lang felt breathless.

"The claw…"

Both Lu Li and Wei Yuan checked upon the beast claw previously. However, to check with psychic power and to look at it now led to two different kinds of sensations. When they used psychic power to check it, they believed that this was a claw of a Beast King which was not that rare.

Now that Lu Li had taken it out, both Hu Lang and Wei Yuan knew—this was not from a Beast King. They had seen Beast King before and Hu Lang once killed one.

A beast claw that had been stored for years could exude such powerful qi and energy that even Hu Lang felt repressed. How powerful was the beast?

"Is it… a claw of a legendary Beast God?"

Hu Lang and Wei Yuan looked at each other, thinking the same thing.

It was said that in the ancient times, there was a God of all beasts. It was as powerful as a chosen warrior of the human race. Once, it had no enemy in the entire Heaven Reverse Universe. It was Emperor Heaven Reverse that exterminated the Beast God in person.
