The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1072: New Owner of the Wicked Bead

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Every city would have one Semi-God Realm warrior. As soon as there were signs of a plot on Lu Li’s side in one of the cities, the Semi-God Realm warriors in the other three cities could activate their Inhibition Formations. Over a billion humans would become ashes in an instant. What was the difference in the current situation? Yan Gu was indulging in wishful thinking.

It went without saying that Lu Li would not accept such a deal. Not only would he have to give up the Wicked Bead, but he would also have to listen to others’ orders. His enemies could break their promises and execute the civilians at any time.

“No!”

Lu Li refused, resolutely, “You cannot plant one warrior in each of the cities. You can only have one or two in the City of Heaven’s Roars. One or two warriors can stay and keep an eye on me. Otherwise, who can say for sure that the Semi-God Realm warriors staying in the four cities will not start slaughtering once you are gone?”

“Only one or two?”

Yan Gu denied this proposal inside. Lu Li could kill all of them even if the entire team including Fang Rui stayed, let alone merely one or two. What was the difference between having some Semi-God Realm warriors here or not? When Yan Gu and the others left, Lu Li could have Fang Rui killed and then go after the former who would have no leverage against Lu Li.

Both parties reached another impasse and neither party would want to concede. After a while, Lu Li suddenly flew the Wicked Bead into the distance, leaving behind some cold words, “Yan Gu, if you want the Wicked Bead, you must withdraw and make sure that the humans in the Great Land are safe. When you have made a decision, come... to the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars and find me!”

Lu Li left while feeling determined. He knew there were certain points that he could not give up on. Or else, when he handed over the Wicked Bead, he could not undo what had been done.

His determination was also to show Yan Gu an act to make the latter feel that Lu Li did not care that much about the people of the Great Land.

The negotiation would be off the table if Yan Gu refused to concede.

Yan Gu knew about the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars, a place over sixty miles away from the city. Yan Gu let Fang Rui send out scouts to track down Lu Li as soon as possible. Making sure that Lu Li did go to the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars, Yan Gu was relieved.

Yan Gu decided to concede after an hour. He had Fang Rui deliver three of his terms—there must be three Semi-God Realm warriors staying in the City of Heaven’s Roars and Semi-God Realm warriors from the other three cities could leave.

One of the three warriors staying would be monitoring Lu Li at the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars and two of them would be staying in the city. If Lu Li were up to some trick, he might be able to kill the warrior at the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars, but the other two at the City of Heaven’s Roars could activate their Inhibition Formations at once to blast away the hundreds of millions of people!

Lu Li gave it some thought and agreed. He knew this was the bottom of the line, and Yan Gu would have a group executed if Lu Li did not say yes.

Lu Li said another thing. The warriors at the Cities of Mystic Armor, Red Lunar and Immortals Inquiries must leave first. Afterward, Lu Li would hand over the Wicked Bead and then Yan Gu and the others would withdraw.

On this point, Yan Gu agreed readily. He sent a message to Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu immediately to withdraw to the Demon-slaying Battleground. However, Yan Gu held back a trick or two. He assigned one Semi-God Realm warrior to stay in the three cities respectively. Not all had left.

Since He Yue’s subsidiary bodies were all over the Great Land. Lu Li was informed at once. He did not mind that each city still had one Semi-God Realm warrior.

When Chen Tianxian and the others withdrew to the Demon-slaying Battleground. Lu Li and He Yue flew out from the Wicked Bead. He let the Wicked Bead shrink. He threw it to Fang Rui in the distance and said, “Here you go. Let Yan Gu withdraw at once. Send a message to the three Semi-God Realm warriors in the Cities of Mystic Armor, Immortals Inquires and Red Lunar. Tell them to leave!”

“What...”

Fang Rui had the Wicked Bead in his hand and was astonished. He did not expect that Lu Li would hand him the Wicked Bead just like that.

Fang Rui might not know the exact value of this item. He did know that this was a Relic, something Yan Gu, the Yan Family Patriarch, and Yan Tiangang desired!

A piece of treasure was handed over to him so casually. Lu Li did not seem to be reluctant at all. Fang Rui’s instinct was telling him to run away for fear that Lu Li would kill him instantly.

Lu Li did not do anything. Instead, he sat on the peak of the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars with He Yue standing next to him. Lu Li did not even throw a look to Fang Rui.

“Whoosh~”

Even so, Fang Rui stepped back for a couple of miles. He crushed a jade talisman. A Semi-God Realm warrior flew over from the distance. Fang Rui told him to monitor Lu Li while he himself flew toward the City of Heaven’s Roars.

Yan Gu was no longer hiding underground. He went back to the valley he was in and Fang Rui entered as well. He gave Yan Gu the Wicked Bead and said, “Lord, see if this is authentic.”

Yan Gu threw a doubtful look at the Wicked Bead. He trembled at what he saw. He then grabbed the Wicked Bead in his hand and used psychic power to check carefully. He even used Xuan Energy to check. Eventually, he nodded with satisfaction and said, “It is authentic. This is a Relic for sure!”

Yan Gu had a piece of Relic of his own so he knew about Relics well. A Relic like the Wicked Bead could not be falsified. Yan Gu himself never knew he could have the Wicked Bead so easily.

“Okay!”

When he found a way to give the Wicked Bead to Yan Tiangang, he would have merit recorded. Later, Yan Tiangang would reward him greatly, and his status in the family would only be second to the Family Patriarch.

“Where is Lu Li?”

A moment later, Yan Gu came to his senses from his great joy. He put the Wicked Bead into his Interspatial Ring and asked where Lu Li was currently at.

“Still at the Mountain of Heaven’s Roars!”

Fang Rui said. “Brother Three of the He Family is still there. He has sent no warning, and his jade talisman of life is still intact. Lu Li must not have taken actions. Well... he said you and the other Semi-God Realm warriors in the three cities must go, or else...”

Fang Rui did not finish his sentence, but Yan Gu understood. He thought for a while and said, “Okay, send a message to those at the Cities of Mystic Armor, Immortals Inquires and Red Lunar to leave. Gather and wait for me at Demon-slaying City.”

Fang Rui sent someone to deliver the message at once. Yan Gu’s eyes were filled with excitement. He was thrilled and kept pacing up and down in the valley.

The Wicked Bead was here. He could not wait to fly back to the Divine Imperial Universe. He stopped worrying about the Great Land. He didn’t even want to kill Lu Li anymore. Now, the only thing on his mind was how to return to the Divine Imperial Universe safely and quickly.

“Well... I have to be the first to leave. I cannot leave with Chen Tianxian and Jun Hongye. What if they snuck up on me and killed me to take the Wicked Bead?”

Yan Gu had to think carefully. When Fang Rui came back, Yan Gu said, “Fang Rui, I will leave right away. You will have to take things from here. Your mission is to monitor Lu Li. When I am about to exit the Heaven Reverse Universe, I will notify you to leave! Remember... before I let you leave, if Lu Li is about to do something, you order the slaughter.”

Fang Rui nodded and went to make arrangements. Yan Gu took a couple of Semi-God Realm warriors and went away ahead of others. He took Teleportation Formations and after several rounds, he entered the Demon-slaying Battleground.

“Lord, Yan Gu has left. Semi-God Realm warriors in Cities of Mystic Armor, Immortals Inquires and Red Lunar are leaving as well. They did not kill the civilians.”

As soon as Yan Gu left, He Yue sensed it and reported to Lu Li at once. He nodded and didn’t even open his eyes. He Yue was confused and asked, “Lord, you really gave the Wicked Bead to Yan Gu? If you don’t go after them, they are going to get away...”

“Ha, ha!”

Lu Li opened his eyes and was filled with confidence. He said with contempt, “Run? Where can they go? Everyone that came to the Heaven Reverse Universe will die. Every single one of them!”
