Three days. He might as well hand it over now!
This was Lu Li's last chance. He did not think for long. He made up his mind and said, "I said three months, so it is. If you don't want the Wicked Bead, then give the order to kill now!
If you dare to kill civilians of the Heaven Reverse Universe, I swear I will kill my way to the nine universes and wipe out your families and civilians! "
With that said, Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead toward the entrance of the Great Land with determination.
He wanted to give Yan Gu a false impression — he would not back down on this matter. Either they would kill now or they would have to wait for three months to get the Wicked Bead.
He was sure that Yan Gu and the others would compromise because he had given them hope. He promised to hand over the Wicked Bead in three months.
This time, Yan Gu brought one hundred Semi-God Realm warriors with him. More than half of them were dead. If they could not get the Wicked Bead, Yan Gu would not be able to explain himself. He had to compromise.
"What?"
Yan Gu and the others watched as Lu Li flew away. In the time for two breaths, he vanished into the distance. The four of them looked at each other and felt troubled.
Whether or not they slaughtered the ordinary people was meaningless to them. At most, they could vent their anger and resentment.
If Lu Li was alive and the Wicked Bead was not in their hands, killing civilians would only worsen the situation.
Lu Li had said it himself — the Wicked Bead could be handed over!
In other words, they were right to threaten Lu Li with civilians of the Heaven Reverse Universe. As long as the humans of the Great Land could not run away, the Wicked Bead would not.
Therefore … waiting for three months was not a big problem. They were just worried that Lu Li would play some tricks.
Yan Gu and the other three Semi-God Realm warriors discussed for a while. They decided to go to the Great Land first. They must control the forces at the Great Land first and then let those forces gather the humans nearby. In this way, they would have a trump card to threaten Lu Li.
Even if Lu Li wanted to save people, could he have clones?
He could save one side, but could he save the other side?
"Buzzing ~"
Yan Gu took out a jade talisman and crushed it to remind Fang Rui and the others to be careful. Lu Li was flying toward the Great Land and they should not fall into his trap.
The four of them flew toward the entrance of the Great Land, the entrance of the Palace of Heaven's Roars. They entered the territory of the Palace of Heaven's Roars easily.
There was a Semi-God Realm warrior guarding the entrance. He was Fang Rui. Yan Gu frowned and asked, "Where is Lu Li?
Did he not come in? "
"No!"
The Semi-God Realm cultivator shook his head in confusion and said, "I've been guarding here. No one came in."
"Let's go, lead the way to the City of Heaven's Roars!"
Yan Gu and the others looked at each other in surprise and took the transmission formation all the way to the City of Heaven's Roars.
As soon as they arrived, the four of them used psychic power to check. They were relieved to make sure that Lu Li was not nearby.
"Whoosh ~"
Fang Rui and the others flew over and bowed to Yan Gu. Yan Gu asked, "Where is Lu Li?
Have you found any trace of him? "
"No!"
Fang Rui shook his head and said, "All the scouts in the territory of the Palace of Heaven's Roars are sent by me. There is no report."
"Send out more scouts to find out where Lu Li is."
Yan Gu frowned. Did Lu Li not come back?
They were still at the Demon-slaying Grounds. Was it just a facade?
Jun Hongye said after a while, "I don't care where Lu Li is. He must come here in three months or I will start the slaughter.
I think we should control another one billion over the next three months. We will split up into several places and each of us will lead a team to guard over them. If Lu Li dares to touch one place, we will slaughter the others. "
"That's what I think as well!"
Yan Gu nodded. He was swift and decisive. He discussed with Jun Hongye and the others at once and agreed on some secret signals. Then, Jun Hongye, Feng Wanhu, and Chen Tianxian left with several Semi-God Realm warriors.
Fang Rui had learned about the Great Land. Chen Tianxian went to the territory of the Red Lunar and Feng Wanhu to the territory of the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries.
As for Jun Hongye, he went to the House of Mystic Armor, the former territory of the Lu Family.
The Lu Family had relocated and many affiliated families had left as well. That being said, there were still many major families staying.
That was the territory of the Lu Family. All the civilians regarded themselves as part of the Lu Family.
This time, Jun Hongye went there on purpose for revenge. He planned to capture one billion civilians. Whether Lu Li would hand over the Wicked Bead or not, Jun Hongye would slaughter the civilians to vent his anger.
Yan Gu did not leave. He stayed with Fang Rui and the others to guard the Palace of Heaven's Roars. With warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm here, even if Lu Li were to come, Yan Gu could kill the hundreds of millions of civilians in the city with a few attacks.
Three months was not a long time!
Lu Li had gone missing. Yan Gu had to wait for three months. He did not know if anything could happen during the three months, but he had no other choice.
If he could not get the Wicked Bead, he would be too ashamed to go back to the Divine Imperial Universe.
…
Lu Li did not stay at the Demon-slaying Battleground. He had gone to the Great Land and he had entered the Deserted World through that secret tunnel.
Jiang Tianshun was still guarding the entrance to the Deserted World, ready to destroy it at any time.
Jiang Tianshun did not do anything before Lu Li crushed the jade talisman to warn him.
When Lu Li entered the cave, Jiang Tianshun saw that Lu Li was covered in wounds. Not a single part of his body was in good condition. Jiang Tianshun asked with concern, "Lu Li, are you … okay?"
"I'm fine, Grandpa Jiang. You don't have to stay here. Just send someone over. You can go to the Inferno now."
Lu Li left without further explanation.
He was in a hurry. He teleported to the entrance to the Inferno and then to the towering mountain to enter the Prison of Wood.
He was in a hurry not because he wanted to go to the Prison of Wood to cultivate or to see Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue. It was because he had changed his mind.
He only had three months, or even less. If Yan Gu and the others lost their minds, they could start killing in a month or two.
Therefore, he did not have much time and he only had one chance.
He could not pin all his hopes on the Slayer's move. He planned to take two measures at the same time.
On his way back to the Great Land, Lu Li looked at Master of Haechi and He Yue. He remembered something — the Paleo-beast Realm, the Mountain of Dragons, and … the headless body at the Pond of Dragons!
That body was horrifying. Maybe, before Lu Li could get close, he would be killed by the immortal's energy. Maybe, when Lu Li got close, he would be killed by the immortal's body in one move. Maybe …
There were many possibilities. That immortal's body was too dangerous. Lu Li never dared to think about it after he came back from the Paleo-beast Realm.
Now, at the moment of life and death, Lu Li wanted to have a try.
He was the king of the humans of the Great Land, the protector of the human race. He must protect his people.
If the people of the Great Land were to die in large numbers because of him, he would be depressed even if he could linger on for the rest of his life. In the end, he would go insane or die of illness.
Therefore, he must kill Yan Gu and the others. He only had two choices, to learn the Slayer's move or to take down that immortal's body.
In this way, his abilities could be enhanced and he could have the chance to kill Yan Gu and Jun Hongye.
He could learn the Slayer's move on the way anyway. It would not affect anything. It would take him over a dozen days to reach the Paleo-beast Realm.
If he could not, he would have to take the risk and go to the Pond of Dragons to consume that headless body.
When he arrived at the Prison of Wood, he did not teleport to the King Kong City or visit Bai Qiuxue and the others.
He only sent a message to Ke Mang, asking him to wait at the Ye City.
