Many people knew about Lu Li's Wicked Bead. Even if not, they had heard about it.
Master of the Palace of Heaven's Roars and some Family Patriarchs were in the city. Seeing Lu Li's arrival, hearing his voice, and sensing Lu Li's psychic power, they were all embarrassed and gloomy.
If Lu Li could win, he could kill Yan Gu and the others or drive them out of the Heaven Reverse Universe. Everyone that became soul slaves would have to die. Their families would be suppressed or even wiped out.
But what choice could they have?
If they did not surrender, they would have to face death.
Some Family Patriarchs regretted surrendering. They should have died that day. For one thing, they could have earned a glorious title. For another, they could have saved their families.
Lu Li had come here openly, and his tone was relaxed. He seemed to have nothing to fear.
He was here to negotiate. Whether Lu Li could win or not, as long as Lu Li survived and Yan Gu and the others left, the Family Patriarchs and their families would be doomed …
Fang Rui was among the crowd at the north of the city. But he could not make the decision or send a message to Yan Gu. He crushed a jade talisman to inform Yan Gu.
Yan Gu had been lurking nearby. But the Bond beasts nearby were all killed by Yan Gu.
Therefore, He Yue did not know where Yan Gu was. Lu Li's voice was amplified by Xuan Energy. Yan Gu, who was hiding underground, heard it.
Yan Gu used a skill to send a message to Fang Rui. Fang Rui said at once, "Lu Li, my lord has said that we can negotiate!
But … you must hand over the Wicked Bead first. Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about. "
The Wicked Bead mattered more than anything else. It did not matter to Yan Gu whether he could kill the hundreds of millions of civilians, or even Lu Li.
As long as Lu Li handed over the Wicked Bead, Yan Gu would leave at once and go to the Demon-slaying Battleground at once. Then, he would go to the Ocean Land of the East and return to the Divine Imperial Universe through the passage he came from.
Revenge could be taken slowly. When he brought the Wicked Bead back and found a way to give it to Yan Tiangang, Yan Tiangang would be overjoyed.
By then, Yan Tiangang would be given more Relics and the Yan Family would grow stronger. If Yan Tiangang was given a Relic armor and weapon, he would not be afraid no matter how strong Lu Li was.
Lu Li thought for the time for one incense stick to burn before he said, "What if you still want to kill me after I hand over the Wicked Bead?
How about you all go to the Demon-slaying Battleground and I will hand over the Wicked Bead?
Anyway, you can attack the Divine Great Land at any time. What do you think? "
Fang Rui knew that Yan Gu was hiding nearby, so there was no need for him to send the message. He quietly waited for Yan Gu's decision.
Yan Gu sneered. Did Lu Li think he was three years old?
Lu Li had been missing for such a long time. He must have made some arrangements. How could he let Lu Li have his way?
It was true that they could enter the Great Land at any time. That being said, it was not easy for Yan Gu to achieve the current situation and capture billions of humans to threaten Lu Li. How could Yan Gu give up such a good opportunity?
Yan Gu thought for a moment and then sent a message to Fang Rui. Fang Rui replied, "My lord said no. He said that if you hand over the Wicked Bead, he will not kill any human.
You should know why he's here. Killing these people is meaningless to him. "
Yan Gu was telling the truth. But Lu Li pretended not to believe him and argued, "Promise?
What guarantee did he have?
Even if he swears a blood oath, I won't believe him.
Didn't he promise not to kill anyone?
How many people had died during this time?
At least tens of millions, right? "
Yan Gu said nothing. The negotiation seemed to have reached an impasse.
Lu Li did not trust Yan Gu, and vice versa. Yan Gu was afraid that Lu Li had made some arrangements to kill all of them.
After a moment, Yan Gu asked Fang Rui to send a message, "You have two choices. Either hand over the Wicked Bead, or … destroy your own Bead of Life. Otherwise, we will have to kill!"
Yan Gu was cunning. He would not fall for Lu Li's tricks easily. He believed that since Lu Li was here, he would not stand by and watch the people die a miserable death.
Lu Li didn't answer. He remained silent. Everyone was silent as well. Nobody dared to make any noise. Even the children who wanted to cry had their mouths covered by the adults.
The people had dropped to their knees in fear. They looked at Lu Li with eager eyes, waiting for their king to save them.
In the past, they did not know why those big shots sent them here.
Later on, the fear grew. Some tried to run away but were killed right in front of their faces.
During this time, at least a million people had been killed. All the people were scared out of their wits. Many were so frightened that they fell ill …
Finally, their guardian was here. Their lives were in Lu Li's hands. If Lu Li could not save them, many people believed they would lose their lives here.
Time moved on. Not only the people, but Fang Rui and the others were also unsettled. Even Yan Gu was losing his confidence.
If Lu Li left the people to fight to the death for the sake of his own safety, then they might all die a tragic death.
Lu Li was told that people valued relationships. However, Yan Gu had been a leader for a long time. He knew that many leaders valued relationships and people. Actually, they were putting on a show for their subordinates.
If it were him or the Yan Clan's upper echelons, they would not feel much even if billions of their citizens died, much less billions of them. These low-grade citizens would just have to wait for a few decades or a century before they would be able to reproduce again.
Which powerful warrior did not kill their way to the top?
Which powerful warrior's hands were not stained with blood?
If they valued relationships, they would have died many times over.
Yan Gu knew that Lu Li had a powerful background. That being said, Lu Li did not rely on the Lu Family along the way. He reached where he was today on his own.
Yan Gu also heard that Lu Li had killed many people. Would a man like him care about the lives of those puny people?
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li finally said, "Okay, I promise you. I will hand over the Wicked Bead first!"
Fang Rui and the others felt like crying at Lu Li's words.
If Lu Li were to act recklessly, Yan Gu might die, but they would not survive.
The stone in Yan Gu's heart was finally released, but he despised them in his heart. How could a superior compromise for a group of lowly people?
Lu Li was a weirdo.
"But, I have one condition!"
Lu Li's voice came again, leaving no room for negotiation. "When I hand over the Wicked Bead, you must leave or I will hunt you down.
If I cannot, I will kill my way to the nine universes and wipe out your families. "
Yan Gu turned a deaf ear to Lu Li's words. If Lu Li dared to go to the Divine Imperial Universe, Yan Gu was sure that Lu Li could meet a tragic end anytime.
That being said, Yan Gu was worried about leaving at once. After all, Lu Li had the Slayer's blood. What if Lu Li went after them? Though they were fast, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Yan Gu put forward a condition. Fang Rui said, "My lord said that we can leave, but at least one person must stay at the City of Heaven's Roars, the City of Immortals Inquires, the City of Mystic Armor, and the Red Lunar.
When they are sure that you are not going after them, they will evacuate when they are safe enough. No one will be harmed. "
