While the City of Leng was in a state of chaos and blood was shed, Lu Li was in peace.
He left three Earth Immortal Realm warriors to hide nearby. They did not dare to show themselves. The scouts nearby were even more afraid to move. They could only sense the bead and the situation nearby from a distance.
Lu Li was cultivating in the Wicked Bead. At the same time, he was thinking about how to get to the entrance of the Water safely.
If it were not for Lu Li, the others would not be able to move the Wicked Bead. But Lu Li was afraid to go out. It seemed to be a hopeless situation.
Was he going to stay here forever?
In a few years, the four forces would send their armies to the Clouds Plains and the Northern Desert. By then, how could Lu Li and the others fight back?
"I wish the Wicked Bead could fly by itself!"
Lu Li sighed. The Wicked Bead was sealed. Many skills could not be used. It would take at least several years to dissolve the first layer of the seal.
Who knew what could happen in a few years?
What if the Wicked Bead was cracked open?
"Leng Wuxin, can you make the antidote here?"
Lu Li opened his eyes and asked after several hours of deep thought. There was still poison in his bone marrow. Now that he had time, he might as well get rid of the poison first.
"Yes!"
Leng Wuxin nodded. Lu Li waved her to a corner to make the antidote while he went back to cultivation.
For the time being, there was no better way. He had to dissolve the Wicked Bead and wait and see.
…
The battle at the City of Leng lasted for an entire day. Eventually, the battle came to an end due to the disparity in abilities.
Each of the six families sent two Semi-God Realm warriors. There were 12 in total. The 12 alone were enough to wipe out the Leng Family, not to mention the more than one hundred Earth Immortal Realm warriors.
Over a hundred thousand Leng Family warriors died in battle. None of them escaped. Those who should have escaped had gone to the ancestral land. They stayed behind to die with the city.
The death of over a hundred thousand Leng Family warriors was not in vain. Leng Xing and the other warriors did not die in vain either.
The outcome of the battle was glorious. Over half of the one hundred warriors from the six families were killed. Four of the 12 Semi-God Realm warriors were killed.
There were only six Semi-God Realm warriors in the Leng Family, half of the six families.
However, these six people were too ruthless. Every time they attacked, they wanted to perish together with the enemy. There was also a Leng Clan Patriarch who self-detonated, dragging the Ren Clan Patriarch with him.
Almost all the leaders of the six families were wounded. The Ren Family Patriarch had died in battle. Hao Changjun had one of his arms cut off from the shoulder. More than sixty Earth Immortal Realm warriors had died.
Of course!
The Six Great Clans' harvest was not bad. All the Demigod Tools on the Leng Clan's experts were taken, and there were more or less some treasures in their spatial rings.
The Leng Clan plundered everything, and all the spiritual materials and treasures that they couldn't move in time were taken away.
"Let's split into groups!"
Jun Hongye was not satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "We will divide into three groups and sweep across the entire Leng Dynasty.
So many people died this time. It's not worth it to loot the entire Leng Dynasty. "
"Alright!"
The two families of the Mage Imperial Universe agreed with Jun Hongye's proposal. They were not satisfied with such a small amount.
After all, looting the Leng Dynasty was not the entire Central Imperial Universe. The Central Imperial Universe shouldn't be stirred up.
"Someone!"
Jun Hongye yelled, "Send a message. We have suffered a great loss. Since the Leng Dynasty resisted, we have decided to wipe out the Leng Dynasty as revenge. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
Several Earth Immortal Realm warriors busied themselves. They went to find scouts to deliver the message.
As a matter of fact, the message was not meant for the Leng Dynasty, but for the other two dynasties and the other families of the Central Imperial Universe, warning them not to do anything rash.
"Let's go!"
The six families divided into two groups and each of them rushed to a different direction.
Hao Changjun was in the same group as Jun Hongye. After a while, he said that he needed to hide and heal for a while.
One of his arms was cut off, and he was weakened. He told the Hao Family to go with Jun Hongye and catch up with the others when he recovered.
Seeing that Hao Changjun was pale, Jun Hongye didn't force him. He left with the others.
Hao Changjun found a mountain to heal by himself. He had elixirs in his Interspatial Ring that could regrow an arm. He could recover in half a month at most.
That being said …
In merely six hours, Hao Changjun suddenly snuck toward the north of the City of Leng.
He was faintly discernible. There were scouts on the way, but none could find him.
He didn't go far. In an hour, he arrived at the area where the Wicked Bead was.
He used psychic power to check. Soon, he located the scouts hiding nearby and the three Earth Immortal Realm warriors that stayed behind.
"Whoosh ~"
He sneaked over. A bell appeared in his hand and he threw it at the three scouts.
One of them dodged to the side the moment the bell flew over, while the other two were trapped by the bell.
"Bang, bang, bang ~!"
From inside the bell came some muffled noises. Soon, the two Earth Immortal Realm warriors passed out.
The other Earth Immortal Realm warrior stood on the side. He didn't do anything. Instead, he looked at Hao Changjun in surprise and asked, "Forefather, what are you …"
This Earth Immortal Realm warrior was from the Hao Family. He had just received Hao Changjun's message and had dodged in advance.
Hao Changjun said coldly, "Don't waste time. Kill all the scouts nearby. Leave no one alive. Now!"
The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior dashed over without hesitation. Soon, miserable cries could be heard everywhere.
He knew where the scouts were hiding. He just didn't kill them.
In the time for two incense sticks to burn, all the scouts in an area with a radius of three hundred miles were killed. The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior came back. He nodded and said, "Done."
"Good!"
A glint of coldness rose in Hao Changjun's eyes. He shouted, "Stay here and guard the area. I will go and get the bead."
"Bead?"
The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior understood. Hao Changjun had come back alone. He must be trying to get the bead.
The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was excited. The bead could be a Relic. If the Hao Family could get it, the Hao Family could become the most powerful family in the four universes. By then, unifying the four major universes and five minor universes would not be a problem.
"Wait …"
The Hao Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior thought of something. He said with hesitation, "Forefather, if you go and get the bead, Haochuan will be in trouble."
"Ha, ha!"
Hao Changjun sneered. "A young disciple versus a Relic. Can't you tell which is more important?
If we can get the Relic, it will be worth it even if half of the family dies, let alone one disciple! "
"Buzzing!"
A huge axe appeared in Hao Changjun's hand. He leaped up like a dragon and hacked at the bead with one hand.
No matter how strong an artifact was, it needed energy to support it. When the energy in the bead was used up, the defense of the bead would be weakened.
Even if he could not take the bead away, he could shake Lu Li and the others out.
Even if the Relic was damaged, he could still find a way to repair it. The most important thing was to get the bead.
Hao Changjun had lost one of his hands. He didn't have time to tend to his wounds before he hurried over. He just wanted to get the bead as soon as possible.
"Bang!"
The axe landed on the bead. The bead glowed but remained still. It didn't even tremble.
