Story had it that for the Dragon Demon to be as powerful as an immortal, it must eat four hundred and ninety thousand young boys and girls. Currently, this Dragon Demon had eaten more than one hundred thousand. Therefore, it should be less intimidating.
That gave Lu Li some time, but not much. At the current rate, in three months at most, the Asmodian Lord would be able to gather four hundred and ninety thousand young boys and girls.
The Asmodian Lord had given an order for the five forces to deliver one hundred young boys and girls each in three months. But the forces were stalling. The Jiang Hu Province, for example, had only delivered forty thousand.
Even so, nobody could disobey the Asmodian Lord’s order in the end. The young boys and girls due would be sent over in three months. By then, the Dragon Demon would reach the prime of its abilities. It would kill anyone in its way, be it, immortals or gods.
Three months was the optimistic assumption.
Lu Li thought for a while and decided to take two approaches at the same time. For one thing, he would stay here and cultivate. For another, he told Chuan Pu to get his father here. By controlling Chuan Pu’s father, Lu Li could indirectly control the Jiang Hu Province. Afterwards, Lu Li would have Chuan Pu’s father gather the other chiefs nearby and take control of them as well.
When Lu Li could control two or three chiefs, he could stop them from offering more young boys and girls, which would cut off the food supply for the Dragon Demon.
One more thing that Lu Li could do was to control those forces to “defect” so as to lure the Asmodian Lord over to crush the rebels. By that time, Lu Li would have mastered the first big diagram. He could sneak into the forbidden area and kill the Dragon Demon.
When the Dragon Demon was dead, the Asmodian Lord might fly into rage, but it wouldn’t matter. Lu Li was not afraid of the Asmodian Lord and he could come and go as he wished.
Even though Lu Li had made up his mind, he did not resort to actions right away. First, he had Chuan Pu to gather detailed information about the Eastern Land of Oceans. At the same time, Lu Li told the 10 patriarchs and his Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves to monitor the surrounding area. Apart from Chuan Pu, nobody was allowed out. All the armies and troops were under surveillance, in case some information was leaked.
Here at the Eastern Land of Oceans, dangers lurked everywhere. Lu Li might survive some crisis. On the other hand, he was not sure if the patriarchs and soul slaves could. Therefore, they could never be too careful.
The patriarchs and Uncle Nine of the Jun Family understood the gravity of this matter. They were all cautious. They each assumed their positions and monitored nearby areas closely. Every warrior and servant here were under their surveillance.
Lu Li went to the Wicked Bead to cultivate. Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue were here as well. Knowing they had reached the Eastern Land of Oceans, Jiang Qiling insisted on going out to take a look. Lu Li turned her down on the ground, it was similar to the Great Land and there was nothing to see.
After 10 days of cultivation, Lu Li learned another small component. He just needed to study one more.
Chuan Pu came back with some information. The other forces did not deliver the young boys and girls at once, either. Their chiefs were afraid that the Asmodian Lord could not control the Dragon Demon and the Eastern Land of Oceans would face tremendous disaster.
Lu Li sprang into action. He told Chuan Pu to try to trick his father here. Chuan Pu was hesitating. But he was the Jiang Family’s soul slave and Lu Li painted him a beautiful picture of being the next Asmodian Lord, after the Eastern Land of Oceans was conquered. Chuan Pu swayed.
Lu Li did not go back to the Wicked Bead to cultivate. Instead, he took all the patriarchs and soul slaves into the Wicked Bead. He himself used Shrink Skill to disguise as an Asmodian, short and small. He hid among the warriors, waiting for Chuan Jing, Chuan Pu’s father, to come.
Jiang Hu City was not far away. In merely six hours, the Teleportation Formation began to glow. Several people came to the castle. One of them resembled Chuan Pu. That Asmodian seemed ferocious. He had a thick beard and was short, but strong. He led the others in.
“Chuan Pu, what is it?”
As soon as Chuan Jing arrived, he began to use psychic power to check. He was vigilant. Chuan Pu sent a message to him to say that he had discovered treasures here. For that reason, Chuan Jing had come. Naturally, he would wonder what was wrong since Chuan Pu was sitting here, not delighted, but worried.
“Something is wrong—”
Chuan Jing suddenly noticed Lu Li. The former saw something was off. Even disguised as an Asmodian, Lu Li was still evidently a human.
“A human, kill him!”
Chuan Jing bellowed. His body glowed as he was about to sneak into a crack in space.
Lu Li grinned and said, “Chuan Jing, I have been waiting for you. It is too late to run now!”
“Bang~”
Lu Li took out his Bead of Life. Around him, space trembled violently as a cyan colored, half transparent castle emerged and extended to an area with a radius of more than thirty miles.
“Ah—”
Everyone around was affected by the Feather Wind castle. Everyone, including Chuan Jing, was screaming in pain. The Feather Wind castle was infused with Feather Wind, which contained horrifying soul attack. Even the Asmodian Lord would be affected, let alone Chuan Jing.
Soon, the warriors passed out. Even the Human Sovereign Realm ones became unconscious, after merely the time for 10 breaths. After the time for 20 breaths, Chuan Jing fainted as well. Nobody in the sphere of influence in the castle remained conscious.
“Done!”
Lu Li let the Feather Wind castle collapse and started Soul Snatching, which he was familiar with. In just an hour, Chuan Jing was turned into his soul slave.
Lu Li knew that taking too many soul slaves would affect his soul, but he had no other way. He could just kill some soul slaves after he was done with them. That Feather Race Earth Immortal Realm soul slave he took in the Demon-slaying City was killed. Too many soul slaves would affect his cultivation.
Gradually, warriors came back to their senses. Lu Li changed back his appearance. He took off the Asmodian armor and sat in the hall, relaxed.
“Master~”
Chuan Jing walked over, feeling gloomy. His life was no longer in his own hands after he became Lu Li’s soul slave. From now on, he would have to listen to Lu Li’s orders. He never could foresee that his own son would trick him.
“Well, think of a way right now to get the chiefs of nearby forces here. Before they arrive, let Chuan Pu notify me. Also… do not send more young boys and girls anymore. Okay, off you go.”
Lu Li had Chuan Jing left and Chuan Pu stay. At the same time, Lu Li sent out the 10 patriarchs and the Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves for them to monitor the situation.
In just seven days, Lu Li felt someone knocking the Wicked Bead. He heard Uncle Nine of the Jun Family reporting, “Young Master, Chuan Jing sent a message. He is coming with a chief.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li was delighted. He copied what he did last with Chuan Jing. Only this time, he did not even disguise as an Asmodian. He stood behind Chuan Pu and waited outside the Teleportation Formation. He had the patriarchs and the other warriors move to thirty miles away, in case they would pass out again.
“Buzzing~”
An hour later, the Teleportation Formation lit up. Chuan Jing came with a team. To his sides were two Earth Immortal Realm warriors.
“Boom~”
The Feather Wind castle came into being instantly and it exerted influence on all of the team. The next step was easy. One of two Earth Immortal Realm warriors was killed by Lu Li and he took the other one, the chief, as his soul slave.
“Okay. I am running out of time~”
Lu Li felt the clock was ticking after he was done. It was time for them to set off for the altar now.
After all, the trip to where the Asmodian Lord was, could cost some time. The Dragon Demon was growing stronger every minute. Lu Li supposed he would not be able to deal with the Dragon Demon if he stalled any longer.
