Now, everyone understood why Lu Li was sitting here with his legs crossed and didn't leave.
Many people were trying. Some were wandering around looking for a way out. Some even went closer to the black haze, trying their best to explore.
Young Master Fu, Young Master Bu and Young Master Li walked together. They pretended to be looking around but actually, they were secretly talking about how to kill Lu Li.
Lu Li was sitting there with his legs crossed, unprepared. It seemed that they could kill him easily if they surrounded him.
However, the death of Young Master Yan deterred them from taking any reckless actions.
Lu Li really had the guts to kill people. If what happened at the island happened again, Lu Li would not show any mercy. He would kill everyone mercilessly.
After all, they had already offended the Black Flame Hall. They didn't mind offending more forces, did they?
Those who had nothing to lose were not afraid of those who had nothing to lose.
The several young masters were well aware of this. Therefore, they didn't rush out at once. Instead, they chose to talk secretly while walking.
They came to a conclusion after they walked around for a while. They were going to encourage some people to have a try. If there was a chance, they would make a move.
They were all outstanding talents of forces in the Sea of Storm with great influence. Usually, many young masters of average families would follow them and be at their beck and call.
They gathered more than a dozen people. After a round of encouragement and promises, nine of them agreed to attack Lu Li later.
They promised that as soon as the nine young masters made their moves, they would coordinate with each other and each of them would get one elixir from Lu Li. At the same time, they would use their families' influence to elevate the nine young masters to higher positions in their families.
The elixir didn't matter. What tempted many people was the promise.
With the support of Young Master Fu and the other young masters, their status in their families would rise. They would have access to many resources and they would have the chance to become Family Masters.
After some secret discussion, the young masters dispersed and pretended to look for clues. At the same time, Young Master Fu and the other young masters pretended to rush to the top of the mountain. But they all turned back after going for more than ten miles.
Young Master Qin and Lady Qiong tried as well. They noticed what Young Master Fu and the other young masters were doing and they had some guesses.
Lady Qiong frowned. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Young Master Qin smiled at her and then looked at Lu Li. He said, "My friend, be careful!"
He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear.
Lu Li nodded to him and Lady Qiong. Then he went back to sitting with his legs crossed, emotionless.
He sat in the "God Conferment Dojo". If it was an attack from outside, he could easily dodge it. If it came in, he was even less afraid.
The nine of them followed a group of people over. They spread out and didn't approach Lu Li. Instead, they moved forward from different directions, pretending to investigate.
Young Master Fu, Young Master Bu, and the rest also came from afar, but their speed was very slow.
"Kill!"
When the nine of them were in position, one of them shouted and the nine of them moved at the same time. They rushed over from all sides and got close to Lu Li in an instant. They took out their weapons, trying to kill Lu Li.
Among these nine people, none of them was a 3rd tribulation Wargod. Six of them were at the peak of the 2nd tribulation, while the rest were all 2nd tribulation warriors.
As soon as the nine moved, Lu Li sensed it. He was sitting with his eyes closed, but he had been using the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings.
The nine of them rushed to his side, but he still didn't move. He continued to sit cross-legged like an old monk in meditation.
However, at that moment, the ground beneath him trembled slightly, and a sky full of void worms flew out.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The nine of them were so fast that they arrived in an instant. Their attacks landed on Lu Li at the same time.
Nine muffled sounds came out. Lu Li didn't move one bit. It was as if the nine people's attacks had landed on a piece of meteorite. They didn't inflict any substantial damage to Lu Li, only leaving some marks on his body.
"Buzzing ~"
The void worms whooshed up and enveloped the nine of them. Sensing that many worms were entering their bodies, the nine of them turned pale.
They turned to Young Master Fu and the others. Seeing that they didn't do anything, the nine of them felt hopeless as if they had been betrayed. Their hearts sank into a bottomless abyss.
"Ah ~"
The void worms began to bite. The nine of them rolled around on the ground in pain. Lu Li still didn't open his eyes. He ordered the void worms, "Bite off their arms!"
The Void Worms surged into the arms of the nine individuals, and their hands immediately turned into white bones at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their hands were turned into white bones at the shoulder level. Some of them were rolling on the ground in pain, and their forearm bones were all broken.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
The group of people sucked in a breath of cold air. The people in the vicinity were all alarmed and gathered around.
Many people were taken aback to see the nine's hands turning into bones. Some young ladies turned away as they couldn't bear the sight.
The void worms stopped without Lu Li's order after the arms were bitten off. Three of them crawled up in terror, trying to run toward Young Master Fu.
"Anyone who dares to move will be turned into bones!"
Lu Li didn't open his eyes. He moved his lips and said.
His voice was like the voice of a messenger from hell. The three trembled. None of them dared to run.
"Stop shouting. If you hear any more screams, I will make sure that you will never be able to make a sound again!"
Lu Li opened his mouth again. The people who were screaming all shut their mouths.
Their faces were twisted. Sweat poured down like rain. They were trembling. Some of them sat up with their bony hands hanging down. Blood was still oozing out. It was a miserable and horrifying scene.
Many people were sad. The nine of them were young masters from the Sea of Storms. They used to drink and chat together.
Seeing how miserable they were, people couldn't bear to see them like this. They shared a common hatred.
Even Young Master Qin and Lady Qiong felt sorry for them. Lady Qiong turned her face away. Young Master Qin opened his mouth several times but said nothing in the end.
Young Master Fu and the others stood together with gloomy expressions. Their eyes were filled with killing intent. However, they didn't move just now and they wouldn't move now.
Actually, they wanted to wait for the nine to injure Lu Li or stall him so that they could launch a sneak attack.
However, the nine of them didn't inflict any harm to Lu Li. Instead, they were badly injured. Lu Li's cruel means had shocked them.
"Do you think I am being too cruel?"
Lu Li looked at the hundreds with a trace of mockery in his eyes. He paused and said, "If I didn't have some means to protect myself, I would have become minced meat by now.
Am I destined to die? These nine people attacked me first and I can't fight back?
I don't think there is such a thing in the world.
It's just a broken arm. You can grow it back as long as you have the elixirs. We are all warriors. If you can't face life and death on the path of Wu Dao, what can you achieve in the future? "
Nobody said anything. What Lu Li said made sense. That being said, they were used to standing on the side of reason.
Lu Li got 15 elixirs all by himself and killed Young Master Yan. This had aroused public anger.
Therefore, many people were not on the same side. Whatever Lu Li said was wrong to them.
"Young Master Fu, Young Master Bu, Young Master Li!"
Lu Li looked at the three and said in a cold voice, "If you want to kill me, just come at me. Why do you have to borrow a knife to kill me?
I don't have a Rune Dojo here so your divine energy will not be suppressed.
Come here. I will fight the three of you by myself.
Is there anyone else who wants to kill me?
All of you, come here. I will deal with you all by myself! "
