White Emperor Leader and Jiang Hongyan led more than a dozen Seven-Star and Eight-Star Leaders into Savage Beast Mountain and searched everywhere. With the two of them working together, they could drive off even a Four-winged Diamond Ape if they encountered one.
Along the way, they killed many immortal beasts and practically turned Savage Beast Mountain upside down, but they found no trace of Lu Ren.
They could not even find a body.
A month later, the group left Savage Beast Mountain with heavy hearts.
Black Lotus stood in the air, her expression calm.
"Lord Black Lotus, we didn't find him!"
White Emperor Leader's face was deathly pale.
The other leaders looked just as grim.
If Lu Ren really was dead, none of them would escape the consequences.
"You didn't find him?"
Black Lotus looked coldly at White Emperor Leader and the others, murderous intent glinting in her eyes.
One by one, the leaders struggled to breathe. They stood as silent as cicadas in winter, terrified that the ruler of Immortal King's Perilous Land would kill them on the spot.
Just then, Elder Jue Ming flew out of Savage Beast Mountain. "Master, I found Lu Ren. He seems to have discovered an excellent cave for cultivation, so I didn't disturb him!"
"Oh?"
Black Lotus was slightly surprised.
Joy lit up Jiang Hongyan's face, while White Emperor Leader and the others breathed sighs of relief.
"Let him cultivate there. There's no need to disturb him!"
Black Lotus swept her gaze over White Emperor Leader and the others. "You nearly cost me a prodigy. From this day on, you are barred from entering Qiankun Divine Temple and Void Waterfall!"
"What?"
White Emperor Leader's expression changed. The other leaders looked equally stricken.
Being barred from Qiankun Divine Temple meant little to most leaders.
