When Yan Gu entered the Demon-slaying Battleground, he did not go to the Demon-slaying City as promised. Instead, he took a detour and flew away.
When he was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Demon-slaying City, he asked a Semi-God Realm warrior to send a message to the Demon-slaying City, asking Jun Hongye and Chen Tianxian to go to the Ocean Land of the East and return to the nine universes from there.
Yan Gu was careful, fearing that Jun Hongye, Chen Tianxian, and Feng Wanhu would work together to kill him.
The Wicked Bead was powerful. Any one of Jun Hongye and the others could conquer the nine universes after they took control of the Wicked Bead. Not even Yan Tiangang's avatar could stop them!
Anyone with the Wicked Bead could unify the nine universes. How could Chen Tianxian, Jun Hongye, and Feng Wanhu resist such a temptation?
"Whoosh ~"
Yan Gu flew away with a Semi-God Realm warrior from the Divine Imperial Universe. He would check the jade talismans of warning and life from time to time.
The two types of jade talismans were not broken, which meant that Lu Li did not do anything.
As time moved on, Yan Gu was relieved. After Lu Li consumed the Slayer's blood, his speed was similar to Yan Gu's. It would be hard for Yan Gu to catch up with Lu Li at such a distance.
Another six hours passed, and Yan Gu had traveled tens of millions of miles. He was completely relieved.
Lu Li hadn't made any moves yet, so there shouldn't be any problems.
.....
"I think everything is fine now. We can leave in a day and a half."
Yan Gu was not the only one who was relieved. Even Fang Rui and the others in the City of Heaven's Roars were relieved.
Yan Gu and the others had left. Fang Rui stayed with three warriors. One of them was to keep an eye on Lu Li at the Mountain of Heaven's Roars, the other one lurked in the dark, and Fang Rui and the other one stayed in the City of Heaven's Roars, ready to kill at any time.
After Yan Gu and the others left, the four of them were nervous, fearing that Lu Li would take action.
If Lu Li were to take action, no matter how many they killed, they would not survive.
Yan Gu said that the four of them must stay here for two days. In two days, Yan Gu and the others should have entered the Ocean Land of the East. Lu Li could not catch up even if he wanted to.
Half a day had passed, and Lu Li had not done anything. It was proof that Lu Li really valued the hundreds of millions of civilians. He truly wanted to trade the Wicked Bead for their survival.
Compared to Fang Rui, the two Semi-God Realm warriors at the Mountain of Roars were more nervous. One of them was on the Mountain of Roars, only a couple of miles away from Lu Li. He could see Lu Li sitting there with his legs crossed.
There was another person at the bottom of the mountain. He did not dare to use his spiritual will to check and could only vaguely see from afar.
For the past few hours, the two of them didn't even dare to blink. Because they were too nervous, their bodies were a little numb and their eyes were sore.
Once Lu Li lost his temper, the two would be the first to die. That Semi-God Realm warrior hiding in the dark also knew that He Yue had subsidiary bodies everywhere. Lu Li must know about him.
Time moved on. It was getting dark, and the light was dimming. The one up above could use psychic power to locate Lu Li, but the one down below could not. He could only sense Lu Li in a blur.
After such a long time, Lu Li still hadn't moved. However, the two of them couldn't let their guard down. Night was the best time for a sneak attack.
Lu Li had been sitting on the peak with his legs crossed. He seemed to be in a trance. Since he didn't move, He Yue didn't move either. She sat next to him and tried to sense the situation of all the enemies.
Yan Gu was the first to flee. He had crossed half of the Demon-slaying Battleground. Jun Hongye and Chen Tianxian were millions of miles behind him.
Apart from the four Soul Formation cultivators in the Sky Roaring Mountain and the City of Heaven's Roaring Mountain, there were no other Soul Formation cultivators in the Divine Land.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight tonight, and the surroundings were pitch-black.
The two Semi-God Realm warriors stared at Lu Li nervously. The Semi-God Realm warrior's eyes were bloodshot. It was dark around him. He could not see Lu Li. He had to rely on his senses and the wind to tell where Lu Li was.
Time moved on bit by bit. The two of them relaxed a bit. Since Lu Li didn't do anything before, there was no reason for him to do so now.
It had been a long time. Yan Gu and the others were too far away for Lu Li to catch up with them.
Of course, the two of them did not dare to relax completely and continued to monitor the situation.
When the first ray of light came from the east, the two of them turned to that direction out of instinct.
They had been waiting in the darkness for a night. Naturally, they were eager for dawn. The night had passed, and the day had come. At this moment, the two of them could not help but relax.
"Swish!"
However, right at that moment, they heard a shrill noise. The Semi-God Realm warrior who was monitoring Lu Li looked over out of instinct, only to see a golden fist growing larger in his eyes.
He didn't even have time to react before the fist smashed into his body.
"Bang!"
The Semi-God Realm warrior exploded at once. Lu Li shouted, "Immortal's body, kill the one in front of us."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Lu Li finished his words, the immortal's body appeared in front of the Semi-God Realm warrior who reacted quickly. He stepped back at once and took out a jade talisman to warn Fang Rui.
"Swish ~"
The Semi-God Realm warrior had just taken out the jade talisman when the immortal's body dashed to him and punched. Unsurprisingly, the Semi-God Realm warrior was smashed to pieces.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li came after him. He held a jade talisman in one hand and grabbed the immortal's body's leg with the other. Lu Li shouted, "Immortal's body, fly to the east at full speed!"
"Swish ~"
The god corpse spread its wings, turned into a blur, and disappeared into the eastern horizon.
At the top of the mountain, He Yue's mouth was agape. It only took the time for one breath to kill the two Semi-God Realm warriors. In the time for one breath, Lu Li and the immortal's body were gone.
"He is so fast …"
Lu Li's sudden attack caught He Yue off guard. That immortal's body was horrifying!
The two Semi-God Realm warriors each punched, and their bodies exploded into a mist of blood. It was as if they were not Semi-God Realm warriors, but two clay figurines.
"What?"
Outside the City of Heaven's Roars, Fang Rui and the other warrior were hiding in the crowd. They were sitting on the ground, but they were alarmed.
This was because Fang Rui's two Life Jade Talismans had shattered at almost the same time.
When the two jade talismans of life were broken, it meant that the two Semi-God Realm warriors were dead!
Out of instinct, Fang Rui wanted to attack the Inhibition Formation and kill the hundreds of millions of people to get back at Lu Li.
However, at that moment, a jade talisman of warning in his hand cracked, which surprised him!
Usually, the jade talisman of life would be broken after the jade talisman of warning was broken.
The two Semi-God Realm warriors monitoring Lu Li realized that Lu Li had taken action. Therefore, they crushed their jade talismans to warn Lu Li before they were killed by Lu Li.
How come it was the other way around?
Was there something wrong with the jade talisman of life? Or was there something wrong with the jade talisman of warning?
Or did Lu Li not do anything at all?
Curiosity was human nature. Fang Rui was confused. Naturally, he forgot to attack.
He had only thought for the time for two breaths when he heard a noise coming from the west.
