This time, Zuo Qiulu and the other nine Divinity warriors didn't stop. They flew straight to the south.
They had no more hesitation. All they wanted to do was to go back to the Divinity first.
The death of the two Divinity warriors told them that this time, Lu Li was serious. He would kill people, one move for each.
That little beast seemed to have no energy. Yet, it could kill a Divinity warrior easily, which made them shiver in fear.
When two armies were at war, morale was the most important factor. Once the morale was down, no one would have the courage to turn back.
Zuo Qiulu was the same. He regretted that he should have taken a gamble. If all of them swarmed up, they might have been able to kill Lu Li.
But now, everyone had fled. Did he have the courage to go back alone?
What was more, what if Lu Li could release more attacks?
What if Lu Li risked his life and killed everyone?
Nobody dared to take the risk. Also, Lu Li's ferocity had frightened them.
Even Zuo Qiulu was confused. He didn't know what to do. They had to go back to the Divinity and discuss.
Previously, they had thought that even if Lu Li came out, what could they do?
He had taken the elixir, which would backfire on him. His abilities would be compromised, and they could kill him easily.
However, when Lu Li came out, they realized that he was still like an insurmountable mountain that they could only look up to.
The moment Lu Li made his move, they sensed fear from the depth of their souls. They felt Lu Li was more horrifying than Lord Ji or even Emperor Youxing.
That trembling, sickly looking body contained a terrifying energy that could easily tear anyone apart.
"Go back?
Go back? "
Along the way, Zuo Qiulu kept thinking about this. He stopped several times, but in the end, he could not summon up the courage.
Only when a man was at the end of his rope would he fight with his life on the line.
Zuo Qiulu was not at the end of his rope. He still had cards up his sleeve. His fear of death, on top of that, prevented him from turning back.
"I will have to resort to my trump card. The higher-ups cannot intervene when humans and demons are fighting.
Lu Li is a human. As long as the higher-ups are concerned about the interests of the Divinity, they will step in. "
Zuo Qiulu murmured. His eyes were glowing.
Lu Li was not from the Youyan Land. In other words, he did not rely on any force behind the Youyan Land. Therefore, Lu Li was no different from the Slayer.
In the past, Sha Di had endangered the existence of the Space-time Mansion. In the end, the forces above the Space-time Mansion had sent people to the Lower Realm to kill him.
This time, he could also ask for help from the higher-ups. For the higher-ups, as long as they didn't break the rules, killing Lu Li would be as easy as killing an ant.
"Yes, yes!"
The more Zuo Qiulu thought about it, the more excited she became. Based on Lu Li's personality, he would not take the initiative to side with the forces behind the Land of Youyan. Since that was the case, it did not violate the rules, and there was nothing for the higher-ups to fear.
In reality, the Land of Youyan also had the support of a great force.
Otherwise, how could the Heaven and Earth Divine Formation stop the four Transcendent God forces?
In fact … they had always suspected that this Heaven and Earth Divine Formation was actually set up by the powers above. Otherwise, how could a divine formation cover such a huge area?
Back then, Lu Li did not join the Craftsmen's Sect. He even turned against the Craftsmen's Sect. It could be seen that Lu Li did not like to join any forces.
As long as he did not join the forces behind the Land of Youyan, the forces behind the Space-Time Mansion could send experts to the Mortal World to kill Lu Li.
"We must hurry!"
Zuo Qiulu nodded. Before the forces behind the Land of Youyan reacted, they must inform the forces behind them. Once the powerful warriors from the Mortal World came down, killing Lu Li would be a piece of cake.
"Swish!"
Zuo Qiulu no longer hesitated. She flew toward the Divinity as fast as she could. Soon, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the southern sky.
Zuo Qiulu did not stop. The other powerful warriors did not dare to turn back. They all fled toward the Divinity.
The remaining troops did the same. Ling Qingyan was still chasing after them with powerful warriors.
…
The Divinity's army was defeated. The Yao King City finally settled down.
Lu Li sat on the mountain with his legs crossed, motionless. He said nothing and did nothing.
But as he sat there, he was like a tall mountain, supporting the world for everyone, making everyone's hearts feel exceptionally peaceful.
Pan Yuqin sat on the side, waiting for news while Ye Kai arranged for people to treat the wounded and the dying.
As time went by, scouts kept coming back to report that Zuo Qiulu and the others had escaped.
But Pan Yuqin did not let her guard down. She continued to sit quietly next to Lu Li.
It was not until the scouts at the southernmost part of the Land of Youyan sent back that Zuo Qiulu and the others had fled to the Divinity that Pan Yuqin could put her mind at ease.
She passed down a very strange order — all the people below were to evacuate to a mountain a thousand miles away.
Many were injured and the Divinity's army was defeated. What was the point of evacuating?
Many could not figure it out but nobody said anything. Ye Kai organized the evacuation at once.
Two hours later, Pan Yuqin made sure that nobody was nearby. Then, she picked Lu Li up and flew down to a cave that Ye Kai had built.
Lu Li had passed out. The fact that he was in a coma could not be leaked. Pan Yuqin asked people to evacuate because she was afraid that there was a mole who would leak the information to Zuo Qiulu and the others.
Lu Li was so weak that he could only use one move. Once the news got out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
That was why Pan Yuqin was being so careful. She settled Lu Li down and fell into a deep sleep.
She was seriously injured. If it were not for the fact that she was in a critical situation, she would have collapsed a long time ago.
Ling Qingyan went after the Divinity's army for several days. It was not until all the Divinity's army had left the Land of Youyan that she came back.
The news had spread in the Land of Youyan that Lu Li had killed the invaders from the Land of Youyan. All the people of the Land of Youyan were relieved.
What was there to be afraid of when Lu Li was here?
Ling Qingyan was injured as well, but he could hold on. After all, he was a supreme warrior in the Divinity.
She followed Ye Kai into the cave and saw Lu Li curled up in the cave. Even though he was in a coma, he was shivering in the cold. He looked awful.
"Alas …"
She sighed. The side effects of the elixir must be severe. Lu Li could help the Land of Youyan survive this crisis. Could he continue?
If Zuo Qiulu used her trump card, Lu Li would be killed in his current state.
"No!"
Ling Qingyan thought for a while. A glint of determination rose in her eyes. She murmured, "I must report the situation to the Shangqing Palace at once. As long as Lu Li joins the Shangqing Palace, warriors at the Second Heaven cannot kill Lu Li. Otherwise, it will be against the rules.
Warriors at the Second Heaven can stay put. Zuo Qiulu and the others can help Lu Li recover some of his abilities. He can get through the crisis easily. He can even … unify the Divinity! "
