He would rather hand over the Wicked Bead now than three days later.
This was the last chance Lu Li could have. Therefore, he did not spend much time thinking. He made up his mind and said—ready to risk everything, “When I say three months, it’s three months. If you don’t want the Wicked Bead, give the order now. I swear I will go to the nine universes this lifetime and wipe out your families and people when you dare to kill people of the Heaven Reverse Universe!”
With that said, Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead to the entrance of Great Land with resolution. He wanted to leave Yan Gu the impression that—he would not compromise on this matter. Either they would have to start the slaughter right away or they would have to wait for three months for the Wicked Bead.
Lu Li expected that Yan Gu would compromise for sure because there was no hope. Lu Li promised that he would hand over the Wicked Bead in three months.
This time, Yan Gu organized a team of one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors, half of whom had passed away. Without the Wicked Bead, Yan Gu could not explain his trip. He had to compromise.
“Well?”
Yan Gu saw as Lu Li flew away and vanished into the horizon in the time for two breaths. The four of them looked at each other, and they felt troubled.
To them, killing the civilians was of little meaning. The only benefit was to vent some anger. Before Lu Li was out of the picture and the Wicked Bead was not acquired, killing the civilians would only worsen the situation.
Lu Li said so in person just now—the Wicked Bead could be handed over!
In other words, the method of threatening Lu Li with the lives of the Heaven Reverse Universe was the right one. As long as the humans of the Great Land were still here, the Wicked Bead would come back.
Hence... three months was not a long time. The only thing they were afraid of was that Lu Li might be up to no good.
Yan Gu and the other three discussed amongst themselves. They decided to go to the Great Land. In any case, they could control the major forces of the Great Land and then ask them to gather the humans near their forces. In this way, Yan Gu believed they could have some cards in their hands to better manipulate Lu Li.
Lu Li might want to save the civilians, but he could not be in two places at once. While he was busy saving people on one side, he could not tend to the others at another location.
“Buzzing~”
Yan Gu took out a jade talisman and crushed it to warn Fang Rui and the others to be careful. Yan Gu informed them about Lu Li going to the Great Land, and that they had to look out for Lu Li’s plots.
The four including Yan Gu flew to the entrance to the Great Land quickly, and that entrance was located at the Palace of Heaven’s Roars. They landed on the territory of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars.
A Semi-God Realm warrior was guarding here, and he was assigned by Fang Rui. Yan Gu asked this warrior with a frown, “Where is Lu Li? Didn’t he come this way?”
“No!”
That Semi-God Realm warrior shook his head without confusion and said, “I have been staying here. No one has come.”
“Let’s go. Show us to the City of Heaven’s Roars!”
Yan Gu and the others looked at each other in surprise. They teleported to the City of Heaven’s Roars. As soon as they arrived, the four of them used psychic power to check and was relieved to see that Lu Li was not nearby.
“Whoosh~”
Fang Rui and the others came. He bowed to Yan Gu who asked, “Where is Lu Li? Have you seen him?”
“No!”
Fang Rui shook his head. “Within the sphere of influence of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars are scouts sent by me. I have received no such reports.”
“Send more scouts to find out where Lu Li is.”
Yan Gu frowned. Lu Li did not come here? He was pretending to have gone back at the Demon-slaying Battleground?
Jun Hongye thought for a while and said, “Wherever Lu Li is at, he’d better come here in three months, or I will let the killing start. I think we can control a billion people in three months and keep them at separate locations. We will split up and watch them. If Lu Li take actions in one place, we will start killing at other locations simultaneously.”
“My thoughts precisely!”
Yan Gu nodded. He carried out his task with sweep and drive. Yan Gu, Jun Hongye and the others discussed their code words and then Jun Hongye, Feng Wanhu, and Chen Tianxian left with several Semi-God Realm warriors each.
Fang Rui gathered detailed information about the Great Land. Chen Tianxian led a team to the Red Lunar, Feng Wanhu the Palace of Immortals Inquires and Jun Hongye the Mystic Armor Region, the old territory of the Lu Family.
Although the Lu Family and many affiliated families had moved from the region, there were still some major families staying. The Mystic Armor Region belonged to the Lu Family, and the people there regarded themselves as members of the Lu Family. Jun Hongye had gone there with vindictive agenda. He planned to capture one billion people. He would put on a killing spree whether Lu Li was going to hand over the Wicked Bead or not to let off some anger.
Yan Gu did not leave. He and Fang Rui stayed in the Palace of Heaven’s Roars to stay in command. He was a warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm. Even if Lu Li were to come, Yan Gu would be able to purge the city with several casual moves.
Three months was not a long time!
Lu Li was missing so Yan Gu would have to wait for three months. He did not know what might change during this time, but he had no other choice.
He would be too ashamed to go back to the Divine Imperial Universe without the Wicked Bead.
...
Lu Li did not stay at the Demon-slaying Battleground. He had entered the Great Land, and he had entered the Deserted World via that secret passageway.
At the entrance to the Deserted World, Jiang Tianshun was still here and ready to destroy it at any time. He had not because Lu Li had not warned him to do so by crushing that jade talisman.
Jiang Tianshun saw Lu Li covered with serious wounds. The former couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Lu Li, are you... okay?”
“Yes, Grandpa Jiang, you don’t have to stay here. Send some subordinates, and you can go to Inferno.”
Lu Li left afterward without explaining anything. He was in a hurry and teleported to the entrance of the Inferno and then went to the Prison of Wood.
He was so desperate, and it was not because he wanted to cultivate in the Prison of Wood or to meet with Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue or the others but because he had changed his mind.
He only had three months or maybe shorter. If Yan Gu and the others lost their minds, they might start killing after a month or two.
Therefore, Lu Li had little time and one chance. He didn’t want to put all his eggs in one basket that was the Slayer’s move. He was planning for a two-pronged approach.
On his way back to the Great Land, he looked at Master of Haechi and He Yue. Lu Li then remembered something—he remembered the Paleo-beast Realm, the Mountain of Dragons and... that headless corpse of immortal buried under the Pond of Dragons!
That corpse was horrifying. Maybe, he would die from the intimidating energy of the headless corpse before he could get close or maybe, he could be killed by the immortal’s body even if he could get close, or...
The possibilities abound. That immortal’s corpse was too dangerous. Lu Li did not dare to think much of it after he returned from the Paleo-beast Realm. However, in this critical moment, he wanted to give it a go.
He was the king of the humans of the Great Land—their protector. He must guard his people. If the people of the Great Land died because of him, he would be down in the dumps. He would lose his mind or die from illness even if he could prolong his last gasp.
Yan Gu and the others must be eliminated. Lu Li was faced with two options. Either he had to learn the Slayer’s move, or he had to take control of that body. That was the only way to increase his abilities to give himself a chance to kill Yan Gu, Jun Hongye and all the others.
He could study the Slayer’s move on the way. The trip to the Paleo-beast Realm would take over a dozen days. Taking the time on the way, he could study the Slayer’s move. If he could not learn it, he would have to take the risk and go take control of that headless corpse under the Pond of Dragons.
After arriving at the Prison of Wood, Lu Li did not even go to King Kong City to meet with Bai Qiuxue and the others. He merely sent a message to Ke Mang for him to wait at the Ye City.
At the Ye City, he did not chat with Ye Luo who hurried over. After Ke Mang arrived, Lu Li took him to the Wicked Bead and rushed to the towering mountain. Soon, they vanished in the horizon.
