The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1059: Blackmail

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Gu and the others had been standing around the mountain for an hour. The other Semi-God Realm warriors that survived had come as well. Those at the initial stage and middle stages kept a distance of three miles. Only Yan Gu, Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu were one and a half miles away from the mountain.

Altogether, over one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors joined this mission, including 10 at the peak. At the moment, only about a score of warriors at the initial and middle stage of the Semi-God Realm survived and the four were the only ones at the peak of the realm.

This was a great loss for the nine universes, rarely seen in ten thousand years. Everything was because of one person, a young man that they considered to be a nobody.

That young man was in a bead in the mountain—one and a half miles away. He appeared to be on the verge of dying. God of Wings said—the effect of the Slayer’s blood could only last for a given time. Even so, Yan Gu and the others did not have the courage to take action—and they didn’t even have the courage to move closer. Because they were all scared out of their wits!

Wu Guangde and Li Family Patriarch were not weaker than any of them. But the two of them were chopped to death easily. Their bodies were still on the ground, in two pieces.

Death was feared by all of them and none dared to take the risk. What if Lu Li were to dash out from the Wicked Bead? What if he still had the Slayer’s blood?

Jun Hongye and the others came solely for the Divine Yuan. If they died, half of their families would crumble to dust. Wu Family and Li Family were two cases in point. The two families were greatly undermined, and they might suffer from extinction. Was it really worthwhile to bet with their families, just for revenge and some Divine Yuan?

Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu did not have the courage. Neither did Yan Gu. This time, Yan Gu led the team. His sole purpose was to obtain the Wicked Bead to cozy up to Yan Tiangang. If Yan Gu lost his life here, not only wouldn’t Yan Tiangang feel sorry for him, he would regard Yan Gu a wastrel. Yan Gu’s line would lose glory in the Yan Family.

“What to do?”

Those were the three words on Yan Gu’s mind. They couldn’t continue in this stalemate. Lu Li might just pass out due to heavy injuries. If Lu Li came back to his senses after a while and recovered from his injuries, things might be worse for Yan Gu.

After much deliberation, Yan Gu decided to play it safe. He gathered Jun Hongye and others, then stepped back. “I have an idea,” Yan Gu said, “send them to the Great Land to capture Lu Li’s families. Also, gather up civilians of the Great Land and use them to put pressure on Lu Li. If he does not give us the Wicked Bead, we will kill his family and friends, one group after another, and humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe.”

Lu Li was young, which meant that he was not like an old man who would be disillusioned with the mortal world and dead to all feelings. Judging by the information collected from searching Lu Feiyang’s soul, Lu Li valued his relationships. Lu Family rested on a large fortune and he had three wives.

It was pointless for the warriors at the initial stage and middle stage of the Semi-God Realm to stay here. It was better that they were sent to the Great Land while those at the peak stayed to attack at the Wicked Bead. On the off chance that Lu Li came out, those at the peak were fast enough to run away.

God of Wings’s avatar was destroyed and so was the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse. As long as they could get the Wicked Bead, their trip would be fruitful. Yan Gu could have something to report and all would stand to gain handsomely.

But Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu were still worried that Lu Li could kill them. That being said, being famed warriors from the nine universes, they could not chicken out. If they returned to the nine universes just in the current state, they would be despised in their entire lives. Powerful warriors all had their pride and they would not admit defeat easily.

“Nice!”

In the end, Jun Hongye was the first to nod yes. The hatred between him and Lu Li was too deep. Jun Hongye had another concern. If they let Lu Li go this time and gave him time to develop, he would definitely go to the nine universes to wipe their families out.

Chen Tianxian was the second to respond, “Okay, let’s do as Yan Gu said. All of you, go to the Great Land and carry out the plan!”

Feng Wanhu was frightened. Also... the Crippled Zen Master seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Li, which was another reason for concern. But Feng Wanhu could not leave now. He replied yes, against his will.

“When you are there, gather up the humans and record things with print stones. Do as I instruct...”

Yan Gu gave out many orders and handed out some jade talisman. They developed some codes. After two hours, twenty Semi-God Realm warriors whooshed away toward the entrance to the Great Land.

Yan Gu and the others who stayed there did not move. They waited for the signal from the score of Semi-God Realm warriors. Yan Gu must make sure that the twenty-some warriors had entered the Great Land safely, did not run into resistance and the plan could be carried out at the Great Land. Only after that would Yan Gu take actions.

They needed leverage. When the twenty-some Semi-God Realm warriors had Lu Li’s families and friends in control or had gathered up enough humans as hostages, they would have something they could to put pressure on Lu Li with—even if he was going to use the Slayer’s blood again. This was the guarantee to Yan Gu that they could have an easy way out.

They were not far away from the entrance. There were many such entrances to the Great Land, but the majority of them were sealed off or destroyed. As a matter of fact, sealing off the passageways was pointless because the warriors of the nine universes knew how to open up barriers. Therefore, toward the end, Lu Li ordered for the passageways to be destroyed.

“This one is accessible!”

There were some with knowledge of Inhibition Formations among the group of Semi-God Realm warriors. Soon, they found an entrance that had been sealed off. They used some Xuan Energy and the seal was off.

“Let’s go!”

A Semi-God Realm warrior from the Divine Imperial Universe waved his hand. He was Fang Rui. Though he was not from the Yan Family, he was in close terms with him. In addition, he was reliable. Hence, Yan Gu made Fang Rui the team leader.

The group of warriors entered one by one. A moment later, they emerged in a mountain range. This was where the Palace of Heaven’s Roars was at. It was not the City of Heaven’s Roars, but a mountain three thousand miles to the south of the city.

Naturally, there were some warriors guarding here, who were immobilized as soon as the Semi-God Realm warriors came.

“Do not kill all of them. I need a few alive!”

Seeing that the Semi-God Realm warriors were about to kill at once, Fang Gui hurried out. He grabbed a team leader and searched his soul. Fang Gui searched three to four people and the result grieved him.

When Brother Four of the Qi Family searched Lu Feiyang’s soul, the information gathered was not accurate. Fang Rui, upon searching several people, realized that Lu Li had already transferred disciples of the Lu, Jiang, Ye and other major families to the Inferno already!

For the civilians, the Inferno was kept a secret but not for disciples of major families. This team leader was a disciple of a major family under the Palace of Heaven’s Roars. He knew some inside information because some of his family’s elite disciples were sent to the Inferno.

Since Lu Li already made arrangements, to capture his family or friends would be difficult. Fang Rui thought for a while. He waved his hand without hesitation and said, “Go to the City of Heaven’s Roars and capture the leaders and patriarchs of the Palace of Heaven’s Roars. Let them gather up all the civilians near the city. If Lu Li did not care about the billions of people’s lives, we would kill them all. If he still showed no emotion, we would move forward and slaughter all the humans of the Great Land!”

“Kill them all!”

The Semi-God Realm warriors’ eyes glowed red. Too many of their friends and families had been killed by Lu Li. Only by unrestrained slaughter could they vent some of the anger that stemmed from this deep-rooted hatred.
