Yan Zhen was dead and turned into a pile of charred flesh. Uncle Li couldn't help but feel a little sad.
More importantly, he didn't know how to feel about being abandoned by Yan Hong.
He had been with the Black Flame Hall for many years and had always been a capable warrior working for Yan Hong. He had made great contributions to the Black Flame Hall.
But he didn't expect that Yan Hong would be so heartless. He didn't think for himself and even abandoned his own son.
Thunderbolts kept striking down. The smell of burnt flesh was pungent.
Uncle Li looked at Yan Zhen next to him and felt even more sorrowful.
He was even sadder to think that he would also become a pile of roasted flesh and could not be buried after death.
"If I die, what about my little Rui?"
A pretty little girl came to Uncle Li's mind. She was his illegitimate daughter. Not long ago, she went to a small town and had an ill-fated relationship and gave birth to this child.
Uncle Li was not interested in women. That time, he indulged himself and she was a maid in the mansion of the city. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a daughter.
He didn't make this matter public because he was the leader of the Hall of Warfare at the Black Flame Hall. He could go to battle at any time and he could die at any time.
Therefore, he didn't take the maid and his daughter to the Black Flame Hall recklessly.
Uncle Li didn't care too much about this illegitimate daughter. However, when a man was about to die, he would be sentimental.
He thought that if he died, the orphan and the widow would be bullied.
The outside world didn't know that the daughter was his yet. By then, his daughter would be in a miserable state. She would be bullied since she was young and might even be raped by young masters of big families …
On this thought, Uncle Li felt his heart was burning. His determination was loosening bit by bit.
More importantly, Yan Hong had given up on him so easily. Uncle Li felt betrayed.
Since the Black Flame Hall had betrayed him, why couldn't he betray the Black Flame Hall?
As soon as this idea arose, it was like a spark that started a prairie fire.
After a while, Uncle Li made up his mind and shouted, "Lu Li, stop. I surrender. I am willing to be your slave and help you fight against the Black Flame Hall!"
"Eh..."
Lu Li was taken aback and astonished.
Uncle Li seemed to be a man of pride. How could such a powerful warrior be willing to be his soul slave?
Lu Li couldn't even imagine it.
Uncle Li was a powerful warrior of a force at the Second Heaven. Would he surrender to a warrior from the mortal world, just like Lu Li?
With the pride in his heart, he would rather die than become someone's slave.
That being said, Lu Li was still overjoyed that Uncle Li had surrendered.
He did not lose his cool. What if Uncle Li was pretending to surrender?
What if they wanted to kill him?
He took two deep breaths and said, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"What's the point of lying to you?
I'm seriously injured right now, so I'm no threat to you at all. "
Uncle Li gnashed his teeth and said, "Since the Blackflame Hall has abandoned me, then don't blame me for betraying them.
However … there are conditions for me to become your soul slave. Firstly, you cannot do anything that humiliates my character. After 2000 years, if you and I are able to survive, you have to return my freedom.
Thirdly, I'm going to the Second Heaven to bring my daughter over! "
"Daughter?"
Lu Li felt relieved. It seemed that Uncle Li wanted to surrender because of his daughter and because Yan Hong had abandoned him.
Lu Li was reassured. He used psychic power to check Uncle Li's body. He was sure that Uncle Li was badly injured and his abilities must have been compromised.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Give me your seal of soul and don't play any tricks or I will not give you another chance. I can satisfy all three of your conditions!"
Uncle Li was strong. His attacks were much stronger than Lu Li's and his defense and speed were better than Lu Li's. It was a good choice to have such a fighter.
What was more, Uncle Li knew the situation at the Second Heaven and the Blackflame Hall very well. Yan Hong would mobilize powerful warriors soon. Lu Li's chances of survival would be greater if he could learn more.
Uncle Li didn't play any tricks. He formed the seal of soul. Soul slaves were similar in the Divinity, the Second Heaven and the mortal world.
The seal of soul was the core of a person's soul. When the seal of soul was controlled, the master could kill the soul slave at any time.
Unless the seal of soul was strong enough to control the master's soul.
Lu Li was not worried. The Dragon Soul was so strong that it could withstand Yan Hong's soul attacks. Lu Li wouldn't be afraid even if Uncle Li did something to the seal of soul.
The seal of soul flew out from Uncle Li's body and slowly flew toward the mountain.
Lu Li flew the mountain away and stopped when it was thirty miles away from Uncle Li.
He had to be careful. Uncle Li could kill him in an instant.
Thirty miles away, Lu Li kept checking Uncle Li with psychic power. Nothing strange happened to Uncle Li. Lu Li flew out, put the seal of soul into his soul and went back to the mountain.
From the beginning to the end, Uncle Li didn't do anything.
Lu Li asked Little Six to stop the formation of thunderbolts before he started to dissolve the seal of soul. It was easy and there was no killing intent hidden in the seal.
Lu Li put his mind at ease when he established a spiritual connection with Uncle Li.
As his soul slave, Uncle Li would be naturally afraid of Lu Li. He would not have any thoughts of betrayal, let alone attack Lu Li.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li flew the mountain over and appeared outside. Uncle Li struggled to stand up and was about to drop to his knees to salute Lu Li.
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Now that you are my soul slave, there is no need to stand on ceremony. Heal your wounds first!"
"Thank you, master!"
Uncle Li sat down with his legs crossed. He took some healing pellets and began to tend to his wounds.
Lu Li breathed in relief. He had passed this hurdle. But what came next would be hundreds or thousands of times more dangerous. For the moment, Lu Li did not know what to do. He sat there with a frown on his face.
Uncle Li's healing medicine was of a very high grade, and his physical body was also very strong. In just a day, his injuries had mostly healed.
The first thing Uncle Li said when he opened his eyes was, "Master, run. You still have a chance. Nobody can save us if you run now."
"Run?
Where can I go? "
Lu Li understood what Uncle Li meant. He said with a bitter smile, "Do you think they can't find me if I hide in a small world or the mortal world?
You are from the Hall of Black Flames. Don't you have a tracking artifact?
Do you think I can run away? "
"Of course not. Hiding in the Divinity or the mortal world is pointless."
Uncle Li explained, "I have thought about it for a long time. You have only two options. First, go to the Realm of Demons and then go to other universes from there. You can keep moving and eventually find a secret place of primordial chaos or a primitive secret place to hide.
In that case, not even the Master of the Hall of Black Flames can find you.
The second option is to immediately go to the Second Heaven, and then think of a way to go to the Third Heaven. The Third Heaven is too big, and there are as many experts as the clouds there. Even the Hall Master of the Black Flame Hall wouldn't dare to easily hunt you down. "
"Eh!"
Lu Li was taken aback. The two options Uncle Li proposed were beyond Lu Li's imagination.
