Lu Li said it was too late because the Worms of the Void under his control had entered Zuo Qiuyan's body. Not just one or two, but hundreds of thousands.
Zuo Qiuyan had already noticed it. He felt something had entered his body. He took a look inside himself and his face turned ghastly pale.
Seeing that Patriarch Qi was about to take action, Zuo Qiuyan reacted quickly at the critical moment. He yelled, "Grandpa Qi, don't move. Lu Li, don't do anything rash. Let's talk this out. Nobody move!"
Zuo Qiuyan was smart and he reacted quickly. He knew that as soon as Patriarch Qi moved, Lu Li would kill him with the worms.
Therefore, Zuo Qiuyan stopped Patriarch Qi in time and talked to Lu Li, hoping that Lu Li would accept the negotiation.
Hearing Lu Li's name, a commotion broke out. Some young ladies screamed in fear and ran around. It was a mess.
That being said, Zuo Qiuyan's words were deterring enough. Strangely, at that moment, everyone quieted down.
Those around Lu Li were either ready to run or to take out their weapons.
At this moment, none of them moved. They stared at Lu Li with alertness and nervousness.
Patriarch Qi and Zuo Qiuyan looked at each other. Patriarch Qi saw the problem. The murderous intent vanished. Patriarch Qi shouted, "Nobody move. Lu Li, we can talk!"
Lu Li stood behind the crowd, two thousand feet away from Patriarch Qi and Zuo Qiuyan. Through the crowd, Lu Li and Patriarch Qi looked at each other. Lu Li didn't even look at Zuo Qiuyan.
"Buzzing ~"
His Wicked Bead glowed. Three hills came out and flew around him. At the same time, he took out the Demon Slayer. He asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
There was nothing to talk about. Lu Li was determined to kill Zuo Qiuyan. He would not change his mind even if the Space-time Office offered him 100 billion Divine Sources.
He wanted to talk because he wanted Zuo Qiuyan to think that the matter was negotiable. In this way, he could leave at ease.
Zuo Qiuyan said, "Lu Li, we don't hate each other, do we?
Why did you attack me?
I don't think Space-time Office is against you. We didn't do anything even when you killed Chou Qianjun. Why … do you want to do this to me? "
Zuo Qiuyan was a proud man, even condescending. If it were someone else, he wouldn't speak in such a humble manner.
For one thing, Lu Li was too famous. For another, his life was in Lu Li's hands.
Although he didn't know what those bugs were, he had a feeling that Lu Li could easily kill them.
He had a saint grade defensive armor, but it was a pity that it couldn't withstand the insects' attacks. He regretted asking his grandfather for a Grandspirit Heavenly Treasure if he knew this would happen.
Zuoqiu Yan's expression grew even more unsightly when he sensed numerous worms entering his head. He looked at Elder Qi with a pleading gaze while despair appeared in his eyes.
"Worms of the Void"
Elder Qi sent his spiritual will in and easily locked onto that worm. His face turned extremely ugly.
Lu Li's Worms. Li was.
There was no time to think about this. He took a deep breath and said, "Lu Li, killing Little Flame will do you no good. You can state your terms and I will make the decision on behalf of the Space-time Office!"
As a patriarch of Space-time Office, Patriarch Qi was showing respect to Lu Li.
Of course, Patriarch Qi was stalling. Everything was negotiable as long as Lu Li didn't kill Zuo Qiuyan.
Lu Li should be calmed down first. Space-time Office would send powerful warriors over soon. Zuo Qiurong would be teleported here soon.
"Let's talk outside. I will be in a passive position if your Space-time Office teleports powerful warriors here."
Lu Li suddenly flew up and boarded the chariot. Flying toward the north, Lu Li said coldly, "Young Master Zuo Qiuyan, come with me. Patriarch Qi, I will kill Zuo Qiuyan if anyone else comes with me other than you."
Lu Li was ready to negotiate. Patriarch Qi and Zuo Qiuyan breathed in relief.
Everything was fine as long as they could negotiate and stall for some time. What they were worried about was Lu Li's killing move.
Treasures, Divine Sources, Primordial Spirits?
Those were not a problem. Zuo Qiuyan could give up anything as long as he could stay alive. Zuo Qiurong would give up everything.
The priority was to keep Zuo Qiuyan alive so that Lu Li could take his time to kill him. Space-time Office would not sit back and do nothing if Lu Li dared to lay his hands on Zuo Qiuyan.
Zuo Qiuyan and Patriarch Qi looked at each other. They flew up and chased after Lu Li slowly.
The warriors were relieved. For them, Lu Li and Patriarch Qi were the sharpest knives. If the two of them were to fight in the fort, many would lose their lives!
"Lu Li is doing this for us!"
Holy Princess sighed. She and Lou Shi 'er looked at each other. Both of them were confused.
She knew very well that if it were not for the two of them, Lu Li would not have done this.
"Let's go!"
Lou Shi 'er looked at Lu Li from the distance. He was a bit disappointed. He had met Lu Li, but there was no chance for him to drink and chat merrily.
Some people had started to leave. After all, something big had happened and Lu Li was known as the God of Slaughter. What if he massacred the entire city?
Of course, many people wanted to stay and watch. They all knew that Space-time Office would send many powerful warriors over soon.
If they could kill Lu Li and witness the scene, they would have something to brag about in the future.
Lou Shi 'er was ready to leave. He knew Lu Li's character very well. Since Lu Li had decided to take action, Zuo Qiuyan was doomed today.
The battle was inevitable. Staying here would be dangerous for one thing, and for another, Lu Li would have concerns and it would be difficult for him to use his skills.
"Whoosh!"
Holy Princess had figured it out as well. She and Lou Shi 'er flew up and vanished into the distance.
More and more people were leaving. Many civilians in the city heard that Lu Li was here. They ran away in fear, fearing that Lu Li would massacre the entire city.
Lu Li, Zuo Qiuyan, and Patriarch Qi had flown out of the city. Lu Li stopped on a mountain dozens of miles away from the city.
Zuo Qiuyan and Patriarch Qi were standing on another mountain not far away. Patriarch Qi put a hand on Zuo Qiuyan's shoulder and secretly poured divine energy into Zuo Qiuyan's body, trying to contain the Worms of the Void.
Patriarch Qi said, "Lu Li, we are out now. What do you want to talk about? Name your price!
I only want Little Flame to stay alive. "
"I want a Primordial Treasure and 100 billion Divine Sources!"
Lu Li was demanding an exorbitant price. Patriarch Qi and Zuo Qiuyan's mouths twitched. Space-time Office didn't have many Primordial Treasures. Not even Patriarch Qi could get one.
Lu Li wanted Primordial Treasure right off the bat?
Given the Space-time Office's capability, 100 billion Divine Sources was not a problem.
"You don't want to give it to me?"
Lu Li flew into a rage since Patriarch Qi did not answer. He controlled all the Worms of the Void to move.
Zuo Qiuyan's eyes were wide open. He felt a sharp pain coming from his head. He shouted in terror, "No —"
"Stop!"
Patriarch Qi trembled as he watched Zuo Qiuyan's head being eaten at a speed visible to the naked eye. He shouted in terror, "Lu Li, stop. We will give it to you!"
"Too late …"
