Jun Mengchen did manage to get in touch with a young master from another major family in the Earth Imperial Universe, the Hao Family.
However, the two clans had recently entered a honeymoon period, and there had been no internal strife for hundreds of years.
This time around, if Jun Mengchen really tricked them, it would cause the relationship between the two clans to worsen. It might even lead to a civil war between the two clans.
The problem was …
Could Jun Mengchen disobey Lu Li?
Of course not!
Jun Mengchen took out a token and infused it with Dark Force. The token soon lit up. He sensed for a while and replied, "Young Master Haochuan and the others are not far away. I've already informed them. They should be here in a day or two at most."
"Childe Haochuan?
Did he come in? "
Lu Li paused for a second and then he was delighted. Last time, he was almost killed by Young Master Haochuan. Now, he could have his revenge.
His eyes flickered. A moment later, he ordered, "You wait outside. Leng Wuxin will go in.
When Haochuan arrived, he would lure them in.
Tell them that there are precious treasures inside, but one of your Earth Immortals is dead. That's why they don't dare to go in and look for treasures. So … tell them to go in and look for treasures together. "
Jun Mengchen thought about it and said, "Don't worry, I will think of a way."
Lu Li nodded. Jun Mengchen was sensible. Even though he could not let go of his pride to call Lu Li master, he used the word "sir" to show that he was sensible and didn't want to suffer more.
Lu Li walked into the cave with Leng Wuxin. They didn't go far, only two miles in.
He controlled the Feather Wind to circle around inside the cave. In this way, Young Master Haochuan and the others wouldn't be scared away when they came in.
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed, cultivating and waiting patiently. There was not much time left, only a month.
If he could win over as many young masters and young mistresses as he could in this one month, he might still have the capital to fight.
Two days passed by in the blink of an eye. The sound of footsteps drifted over from outside as Jun Mengchen's voice rang out. "Young Master Haochuan, with your help this time around, we will definitely be able to obtain the treasures in the stone cave."
"He's here!"
A glint of killing intent rose in Lu Li's eyes. He waved his hands and began to gather Feather Wind. He generated several dragons of wind behind him and waited for those outside to come in.
After a while, a few figures slowly walked in from outside.
At the front was the ninth son of the Jun Family, followed by a strange Earth Level Deity, followed by Young Master Haochuan and the others. There were a total of seven young masters and young ladies, and an Earth Level Deity brought up the rear.
"Almost there!"
Lu Li sensed that they were only two or three hundred feet away. He controlled several dragons of wind to whooshing over.
It was pitch dark in the tunnel. Psychic power could not be used. Those on the outside could not see Lu Li and Leng Wuxin.
But as soon as the wind dragon came, people outside could hear it. Young master Haochuan and the others were alerted. The Earth Immortal Realm warrior of Hao Family asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
Uncle Nine of the Jun family was smart enough. He threw himself to the ground and shouted, "There is special Feather Wind in the cave. Get down now!"
The Hao Family's people didn't know that this was a trap, so when they saw the Jun Family's people lying down, they quickly followed suit.
The result was needless to say. Several wind dragons whizzed over and circled around everyone. Terrifying soul attacks attacked everyone's soul.
Jun Mengchen was smart, he smashed his palm against his own head, knocking himself out, saving himself from the pain of the soul attack.
The other Young Master and Young Lady of the Jun Family imitated them and knocked themselves unconscious. In the end, the Jun Family's Ninth Brother followed suit and knocked himself unconscious, ignoring the Hao Family.
Haochuan and the others were dumbfounded. They rolled around on the ground, howling. Soon, they passed out.
The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Hao Family were struggling, trying to take Haochuan out.
But every time they stood up, two wind dragons whooshed on them and they would fall to the ground with their heads in their hands.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, everything quieted down. Everyone had passed out.
Lu Li waved his hand to Leng Wuxin and she walked over.
Lu Li moved the wind dragons away while Leng Wuxin dragged an Earth Immortal Realm warrior of the Hao Family over.
What happened next was simple. Lu Li released soul seeds and turned them into soul slaves one by one.
In more than two hours, all of them had become Lu Li's soul slaves.
"Two families!"
Lu Li felt more confident now. He asked Leng Wuxin to wake them up with cold water.
He walked over in strides. Looking at Young Master Haochuan who was scratching his head in pain, Lu Li said with a smile, "Young Master Haochuan, long time no see."
"You are?"
It was still dark here. Young Master Haochuan's soul was in pain. He could not see clearly.
When he saw it was Lu Li, he flew into a rage. Filled with killing intent, he yelled, "It is you?
Courting death … "
Before he could finish his words, Lu Li sneered, "Kneel!"
Lu Li told Young Master Haochuan through the soul seeds.
Without any hesitation, Young Master Haochuan dropped to his knees. His body and soul were no longer under his control …
"Eh?"
Young Master Haochuan understood soon. He was frightened. The other two young masters and one young lady looked awful.
The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the Hao Family glared at Jun Mengchen and the others. Clearly, they were holding a grudge against the Jun Family for setting them up. But with Lu Li here, nobody dared to say anything.
Soul slaves had a natural reverence for their masters, a reverence that lurked in the depth of their souls.
Though their souls were in a mess, now that they had come to their senses, they understood the cruel truth.
"Let's go!"
Torturing a soul slave did not bring Lu Li much pleasure.
The tunnel was narrow and the light was dim. Lu Li waved his hand and they walked out.
"Let's tend to our wounds first!"
Outside on the grassland, Lu Li ordered. They sat down with their legs crossed and took out soul-nurturing pellets to tend to their wounds.
Lu Li was in deep thought. After a while, he asked Leng Wuxin, "Do you think your family will let me go if I send powerful warriors of the Hao Family and the Jun Family to your family to negotiate?"
Leng Wuxin shook her head and sighed, "I don't know. After all, Wushang is the most talented talent of the Leng Family in the past one thousand years. He is the designated successor, the favorite child of my father and grandpa.
Also, if I don't kill you … the Leng Family will be humiliated. For a super family, this is unacceptable. "
Lu Li sighed. He took out the Token of the Blood Emperor and circulated Xuan Energy in his hand.
The Token of the Blood Emperor began to glow. A surge of energy like that of a wild beast spread out from the token.
There was still a month to go. Lu Li was trying to contact the Blood Emperor and ask for help from this powerful warrior that he had never met.
However …
The Token of the Blood Emperor glowed for a long time with no response.
Lu Li didn't want to crush the Token of the Blood Emperor. If there was no response now, it would be the same even if he crushed it.
What was more, he had never met the Blood Emperor. Why would the Blood Emperor help him?
Several hours later, Lu Li saw that Haochuan, Jun Mengchen and the others had recovered. He woke them up and asked, "Do you have a way to contact your families?"
Jun Mengchen and Haochuan hesitated. Then, Jun Mengchen answered, "We can all use Print Stones to contact our families."
"Okay!"
Lu Li stood up and shouted, "In half a month, contact your families. If you want to live, tell them to go to the entrance of the Forbidden Ground of Elder God at the north of the City of Leng and kill all the Leng Family warriors there.
The Leng Family has gathered powerful warriors there to kill me. If I die, so will you. "
"In this half a month, try to attract more young masters and young ladies here. The more soul slaves I have, the more likely I will be to survive.
As long as I can survive, you will be free one day. Do you understand? "
