Chapter 149
Then, Ye Cha had someone deliver many delicious food, clean sack clothes and pants. After which, he led the other old men still in excitement out. They asked Lu Li to tend to his wounds, stabilize his emotions and straighten his thoughts.
Lu Li neither touched the food nor used the herb. Instead, he took some healing pellets, after all, he only sustained flesh wounds which were almost cured now.
He sat in the room, confused, for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Then he looked up to Hunchback Tian and said, "Do you believe this?"
"No!"
Hunchback Tian shook his head. Then he added, "But… how do you explain the inscription? I know all the characters. It really says your animal tooth pendant and the silver dragon mark on your back. The most important thing is your surname Lu!"
Lu Li put on a blank expression. He said nothing to refute. Hunchback Tian thought about it and said, "There are really ten Divine Spells. I have heard about the Heaven Augury Spell as well. If it is really Heaven Augury Spell, it is not impossible. After all, it is a Divine Spell."
Lu Li asked with a frown, "What is a Divine Spell?"
Hunchback Tian explained, "Divine Spells, naturally are spells of deities. A skill exclusive to deities. In ancient times, it is said that many deities were born in our world. They had unimaginable powers. Later, n.o.body knew why, but all the deities died. They left behind the Ten Divine Spells. It is said that owning one Divine Spell makes one able to tower over other heroes and become a powerhouse standing at the peak of the world. One even has the chance to break through the void and become an immortal."
Lu Li refuted, "Legends are legends. Also… you have heard about the Cyan Phoenix Race?"
Hunchback Tian nodded and said, "Many people of the Northern Desert have heard about it. They are, after all, one of the overlords of the Central Plains back in the days. Cyan Phoenix Race has horrifying speed, unparalleled in the world. Those golden giants are of the Mammoth Race have always been accompanying the Cyan Phoenix Race. The Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race are the perfect partners."
"One of the races has the strongest strength, and the other the fastest speed. The Mammoth Race would attack from the front, while the Cyan Phoenix Race would secretly attack from behind. Their cooperation is perfect, and their combat abilities are vigorous. The Mammoth Race is not particularly clever, but the Cyan Phoenix Race is famous for their sinister tricks. Therefore, the Mammoth Race has always accompanied the Cyan Phoenix Race."
"Oh, I see!"
Lu Li nodded. He saw the actions taken by the golden giant and the Cyan Phoenix Race. The cooperation between the two races were unstoppable.
Lu Li said no more. He contemplated the matter, and so did Hunchback Tian. After an entire hour, Lu Li looked up and asked, "There is really no doubt?"
Ye Cha and his men’s expressions and explanations were normal. Lu Li recalled several times but found no doubtful point.
Also, there was a critical thing. He was only a regular guy at the Spirit Sea Realm. It was not necessary for Ye Cha to go to such great length and swindle him. He couldn’t even fight Ye Xiaoxi with his power. What benefit could Ye Cha get out from lying to him?
Even if Ye Cha had been sending people to the outside world to gather information, learned his surname was Lu and his animal tooth pendant, even… about his silver dragon mark on his back and arranged the whole thing beforehand.
How could they explain the inscription?
The inscription was not something new; it was vintage. It was not long ago that Lu Li awakened his bloodline, so this could not justify the whole thing.
"There is a problem!" Hunchback Tian suddenly looked up and said with a frown, "There is a problem here!"
Lu Li’s eyes lit up with cold light and he said, "Tell me!"
"The inscription!"
Hunchback Tian raised his spa.r.s.e eyebrows and said, "The stone tablet is a thousand years old. Of this, I have no doubt. But the inscription… I feel like it was engraved not too long ago."
"Really?"
Lu Li shouted deeply, "If the inscription is new, then this must be a swindle."
"Not new."
Hunchback Tian shook his head and said, "If it is new, then even you can tell that something is wrong. I feel like… it was engraved several years back, maybe just more than 10 years. Of course, my feeling can be wrong. The stone tablet itself is a treasure. It is not unusual that the characters are not worn."
"More than 10 years?"
Lu Li’s body trembled. He thought of a possibility. More than 10 years ago, his father was still at the Northern Desert. Could it be that it was his father who came here and engraved the characters?
"It cannot be right…"
Lu Li thought about it and denied the notion. His father knew no Heaven Augury Spell, so how could he foretell that Lu Li could awaken the Silver Dragon Bloodline and that he would enter this small world?
Besides, if this was left behind by his father, why did he make it so complicated? The Cyan Phoenix Race could just tell Lu Li that they were his father’s friends, right?
Back at the Di Long Tribe, the Wu Ling County and now at the Thousand-island Lake, Lu Li had run into many life-threatening threats. Lu Ling even died once. If she was of not of Fire Phoenix Birth, she would be deceased by now. If his father made the arrangement beforehand, how could this sibling pair escape death so narrowly?
"If it is not my father’s arrangement, can there really be such surprising Divine Spell in the world? Am I really the Saint Lord of the Cyan Phoenix Race? I can lead the Cyan Phoenix Race back to their ancestral place? I can restore their glory?"
Lu Li was completely at a loss.
