Lu Li was not surprised when he received the news. He had learned from the old demons that several major races were working together to attack the Gui Race.
The Gui Race had no way out. Apart from making peace with Lu Li, there was no other way out.
If they didn't make peace with Lu Li, then what awaited them would be complete annihilation.
Lu Li thought for an hour and then sent a message to the God of Death. He asked them to tell Master Liu that he wanted to add another condition — the Gui Race could not enter the Chaotic Universe and could not attack any of the God of Death unless the God of Death broke the contract first. Otherwise, the agreement would be voided and Lu Li would seek revenge on the Gui Race.
Lu Li did not want the Gui Race to seek revenge on the God of Death after the situation was stabilized.
If the Gui Race were to sneak into the Tian Yue City, the Lu Family would be wiped out, not to mention everything else.
Therefore, Lu Li added this condition to warn the Gui Race that if they acted recklessly, he would as well. By then, it would be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Master Liu relayed Lu Li's words to the two patriarchs of the Gui Race. The two patriarchs did not say anything and agreed readily.
They must deal with the current crisis. As for the future, they would deal with it later.
When the Gui Race grew stronger or had the chance to deal with Lu Li, they would not care about the agreement.
If the Gui Race could not survive this crisis, then there would be no breach of contract.
The Gui Race also proposed another condition, which was for Lu Li to put on a show. For example, he would be surrounded by the powerful Gui Race and then run away with injuries. Then, he would make another announcement, which would be more credible.
It would prove that the Gui Race had won and restore some of their reputation.
Of course, the Gui Race would not let Lu Li work for nothing. They would give him another 200 trillion Celestial Stones and other resources.
Master Liu could not make the decision on his own. What if this was a trap set by the Gui Race?
He had to send the message to the God of Death, who then told Lu Li.
Lu Li was amused. The Gui Race really cared about their reputation.
Master Liu said readily that they could put on a show, but he would direct it himself to save face for the Gui Race. But 200 trillion was not enough. They must add 500 trillion.
He would hire some old demons to pretend to be the Gui Race and record it with a memory crystal. All in all, it would prove that he was defeated by the Gui Race …
The Third and Fourth Elders of the Gui Clan discussed for a while and decided that this was the only way.
However, they wanted Lu Li to guarantee that his acting was real. Otherwise, not only would they not give him 500 trillion, they wouldn't even give him the previous 1000 trillion.
When Lu Li received the news, he immediately contacted Fan Ceng and found seven or eight demons to put on a show.
These old demons all knew some disguise techniques, so it wasn't a problem for them to disguise themselves as the Gui race. In any case, it was just an act. It was fine as long as the memory crystal couldn't tell.
In a wasteland, Lu Li was covered in blood. Behind him, eight powerhouses who were infinitely close to the consummate level were madly chasing him.
"Lu Li, you bastard. You have been hit by my Family Patriarch. All your bones are shattered, right?
Surrender, you can't escape! "
"Lu Li, surrender now. We are tolerant. As long as you surrender, we will give you the position of a patriarch."
"Lu Li, if you don't surrender, we will have no choice but to kill you.
My king takes pity on you for being a talent, otherwise he would have killed you long ago. Don't be so shameless! "
"Lu Li.
You won't be able to escape. Our clan's Great Elder has already arrived at this realm. If you continue to be stubborn, you will die! "
"Right. Surrender to the Gui Race and we will guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity. We can give you the position of the 18th patriarch, which is a high position."
The group of old demons roared incessantly, and there was a Memory Crystal that had been placed nearby to record this scene, including their voices.
Everything was real. Lu Li's breaths were in a mess, he was bleeding, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. Everything was perfect …
"Okay!"
After a while, Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. When the Duan Race compensates, I will ask the God of Death to send you two hundred trillion Celestial Stones as a token of appreciation. I hope you will keep this a secret. Thank you."
"Lord Lu, you are welcome!"
"Lord Lu, you don't have to worry about the resources. You have saved our lives. This is not a big deal. It is not worth mentioning."
"Right, right!"
The old demons said politely. They respected and awed Lu Li from the bottom of their hearts.
Not even a warrior at the absolute realm could have beaten the Gui Race into submission, not to mention Lu Li, a warrior at the Great Emperor Realm.
It would be impossible for an average warrior at the absolute realm to beat the Gui Race into submission. The warrior might even be killed.
Lu Li had done what many warriors wanted to do but could not and dared not to. Therefore, the old demons respected him.
Lu Li did not waste time. He sent a message to Fan Ceng and then left.
Lu Li asked Fan Ceng to send someone to deliver the memory crystal to the Gui Race. Soon, the Gui Race received the crystal. They made tens of thousands of copies and distributed them to other universes.
The information about the crystal spread quickly. Not long afterward, Lu Li's notice came out as well — he sincerely apologized to the Gui Race and stated that he would never set foot in the Diangang Universe again. He hoped to reconcile with the Gui Race and no longer be hostile.
He sincerely hoped that the God of Death and the Gui Race could live in peace and be friends for generations to come.
As soon as the notice came out, the Diangang Universe was in an uproar. Most warriors thought it was fake.
Lu Li was a man of unyielding character. How could he issue such a cowardly notice?
What was more, Lu Li was not captured or killed. Knowing him, he would not admit defeat. He would continue to fight.
Many universes booed. Clearly, they did not believe it. But four to five days later, many memory crystals came out. It was Lu Li's recording.
He apologized to the Gui Race in a sincere tone, begged for their forgiveness, and hoped that the God of Death and the Gui Race could live in peace. He also expressed his willingness to form an alliance with the Gui Race on behalf of the God of Death.
When the news spread out, the Diangang Universe believed it. If it were fake, Lu Li would have refuted it.
Of course … there must be something fishy. Many warriors wondered if the Gui Race had gone to the headquarters of the God of Death.
Otherwise, why would Lu Li admit defeat so quickly?
The Gui Race did not respond. They seemed to be disdainful. They didn't issue any notice. They merely spread out some rumors and told the scouts to retreat and stop pursuing Lu Li.
Since Lu Li had admitted defeat, the Gui Race didn't have to go after him. They would spare Lu Li's life.
The Gui Race spread the news on purpose. Soon, the Gui Race's reputation was restored.
That being said, in order to let Lu Li record the memory crystals, the Gui Race spent another 500 trillion celestial stones. Lu Li extorted them.
The Gui Race had regained their dignity, Lu Li was rewarded, and the God of Death had a chance to expand.
Their headquarters in the Diangang Universe had begun to be built again. Everything was going well.
Of course, in this battle, the God of Death lost a leader and so many top assassins. Many patriarchs of the Gui Race were killed as well. Strictly speaking, both sides suffered losses.
In the end, Lu Li admitted defeat. But he did so in a strange and strange way.
Even though it seemed that Lu Li had failed, he became famous after this one battle. The news spread across the eight galaxies — there was a Lu Li in the Chaotic Star Region who had incredible stealth and assassination skills. Usually, the major races would not dare to provoke this maleficent star.
