At the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to the north of the City of Leng, more than one hundred powerful warriors were gathered here.
Apart from several Earth Immortal Realm warriors lurking outside, the others were waiting quietly in the hall.
As a matter of fact, there were many scouts lurking around the mountain, but the powerful warriors didn't pay any attention.
Those were the scouts from the major families of the Central Imperial Universe. The reason why the six families didn't kill them was to appease the families.
They wanted to show that they were here for the Leng Family and had no intention of invading the Central Imperial Universe.
Time moved on. The Semi-God Realm warriors and Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the castle were not nervous. They waited quietly. Some of the old warriors even started to cultivate.
It was noon.
The portal at the center of the castle finally lit up. The old warriors were still sitting with their eyes closed. But many Earth Immortal Realm warriors were getting nervous. Some of them even released Force Fields at once.
"Buzzing!"
The portal glowed. A young man emerged in the castle. Lu Li was teleported out by himself.
"Whoosh ~"
As soon as Lu Li showed up, a skinny hand reached for his neck in a flash.
Before Lu Li could react, the skinny hand had grabbed his neck and lifted him up. A surge of strange energy surged into Lu Li's body, sealing up his Bead of Life and Xuan Energy.
At the same time, another skinny hand grabbed Lu Li's head. A surge of yellow energy surged into Lu Li's Soul Pond and enveloped it.
The other Earth Immortal Realm warriors were relieved to see this.
Everything else would be easy once Lu Li was taken down. Their disciples could be rescued and then they could focus on ransacking the Leng Family.
"What?"
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior who took down Lu Li was surprised. He poured his soul energy into Lu Li's Soul Pond, trying to take control of his soul. However, he realized a serious problem!
His powerful soul energy could not invade Lu Li's Soul Pond.
Outside of Lu Li's Soul Pond came a ray of white light. A white shield emerged and isolated the Earth Immortal Realm warrior's soul energy.
"Family Patriarch!"
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior turned to Jun Hongye, begging him to take action.
If he could not control Lu Li's soul at once, Lu Li could force the soul seeds to go berserk. Then, the souls of Jun Mengchen and the others would collapse.
"What is it?" Jun Hongye opened his eyes, angry. He could not even take down a Noble Lord Realm warrior.
"Woo, woo ~"
Right at that moment, a bead in Lu Li's hand suddenly glowed. Following that, Feather Wind flew out and enveloped Lu Li, including the Earth Immortal Realm warrior that was controlling him.
"Ah!"
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior was struck by the Feather Wind. Out of instinct, he covered his head with his hands and threw Lu Li to the ground.
"Not good —"
Jun Family Patriarch, Hao Family progenitor warrior and the other warriors of the Jun Family were taken aback. Several of them flew up like eagles, trying to take Lu Li down.
"Buzz!"
The Wicked Bead in Lu Li's hand glowed again. He vanished on the spot and the Wicked Bead floated in the air.
The light on the surface of the bead gradually faded, and it looked like an ordinary bluestone that was fixed in mid-air.
"Xiu!"
The few Old Monsters rushed to the vicinity of the bead. The Jun Family's Patriarch was the fastest. He reached out his hand to grab the bead.
Then, something that shocked everyone happened —
Jun Hongye grabbed the bead in his hand. He wanted to take it back, but the bead was frozen in midair.
A glint of coldness rose in Jun Hongye's eyes. His hand glowed and he pulled hard. The bead … didn't budge at all.
"Eh?"
Jun Hongye was taken aback. Then, he flew into a rage and slapped at the bead. A horrifying qi and energy spread out from his hand. There was no doubt about the power of this move.
"Bang!"
However, the bead made a muffled sound and remained still in midair.
The fact that the bead did not budge even one bit after being slapped by a Semi-God Realm warrior had frightened everyone.
"The bead …"
Hao Changjun, Hao Family progenitor warrior, and the other Old Monsters' eyes glowed. The bead must be something extraordinary. It was highly possible that it was obtained from the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
"Let me have a try!"
Hao Changjun reached out a skinny hand toward the Wicked Bead in a flash. His hand glowed in red as he tried to pull the bead. Still, the bead did not budge.
"Ha, ha, let me!"
Wu Guangde, Family Patriarch of the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe, took out a blood-red glove and reached for the bead.
From his body came out a surge of horrifying qi and blood. He tried his best to grab the bead, but the bead did not budge.
"Hmm!"
Wu Guangde was enraged. He took out a glaring saber and hacked at the bead.
"Buzzing!"
The bead glowed. A man appeared outside the bead, standing right in front of the bead. Wu Guangde, Family Patriarch of the Wu Family, hacked at him.
"Bang!"
How horrifying was the move of a Semi-God Realm warrior?
The body and the head exploded into a mist of blood.
Wu Guangde was taken aback. Then, he yelled, "Mingshi!
Ah — "
That was right!
Just now, it was Wu Mingshi, a disciple of the Wu Family, the grandson of a patriarch of the Wu Family. Wu Mingshi's grandpa was here.
"Mingshi?"
A white-haired old man trembled. He walked over and took a closer look. Making sure that it was Wu Mingshi, the old man bellowed in sorrow. Staring at the bead, he bellowed, "Bastard, I swear I will wipe out your entire family!"
"Hmm!"
A sarcastic voice came out from the bead, "You old dog!
I don't know if you can wipe out my entire family.
But I can kill your Young Master Wu Xie right now and cut him into pieces. Do you believe me?
Jun Mengchen, Haochuan, and the young masters and young ladies of the Li Family and the Ren Family. Do you want me to cut them into pieces for you to see? "
"Hiss, hiss ~"
The Earth Immortal Realm warriors gasped. Wu Mingshi's death had taught them one thing — that bastard named Lu Li was not a pushover. If he was pushed too far, all disciples of the families would have to die …
"Step back!"
Jun Hongye waved his hand and led the others to step back.
Wu Guangde, Family Patriarch of the Wu Family, was fuming but he had to suppress his anger. Otherwise, his grandson, Wu Xie, would become a cold corpse the next moment.
"Good!"
Lu Li's voice came out from the Wicked Bead. He continued, "As I said, I am just a nobody and I have no intention of challenging your authority.
I just want to live. If I cannot, then I will have to drag your disciples down with me. "
Lu Li's appeal was clear and firm. Now, it was up to the Family Patriarchs to decide.
Of course, Lu Li's appeal was based on the miraculous power of the Wicked Bead.
Without the Wicked Bead, Lu Li would have been taken down and there would be no room for negotiation.
The Wicked Bead did not disappoint Lu Li. It was frozen in midair. Not even a Semi-God Realm warrior could move it.
What was more …
The defense seemed to be incredible.
Jun Hongye slapped at the bead. It didn't even shake or move, let alone be destroyed.
"Relic!"
It was impossible for a Quasi Relic to have such incredible abilities or such strong defense. Only a Relic could explain it.
