Chapter 743 Relic
More than one hundred powerful warriors gathered around the entrance to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to the north of City of Leng. Several Earth Immortal Realm warriors were hiding outside, and the rest were seated in a hall, waiting quietly.
Many scouts were wandering around near the mountain. But the warriors in the hall didn’t mind.
Those scouts were from different families of the Central Imperial Universe. By not killing the scouts, the group of six was trying to send a reassuring message to those families, stating that they were only targeting the Leng Family and had no intention of invading the Central Imperial Universe.
Time went by slowly. The Semi-God and Earth Immortal Realm warriors remained calm during all this waiting. Several warriors of advanced ages even started cultivation.
It was noon now.
The portal in the middle of the hall finally began to glow. The cultivating warriors kept their eyes closed but many Earth Immortal Realm warriors were apparently more intense. Several of them even activated their Force Field at once.
“Buzzing!”
The portal glistened. One young man appeared in the hall. Lu Li was teleported out, only him.
“Whoosh~”
The moment Lu Li showed up, a skinny hand reached out to his neck. Before he even knew what was going on, his neck was in being pinched. He was picked up, and a surge of strange energy went into his body, sealing off his Bead of Life and Xuan Energy.
At the same time, another skinny hand grabbed his head. Some yellow energy surged into his Soul Pond and enveloped it.
The other Earth Immortal Realm warriors were relieved at the scene. They believed that after taking down Lu Li, the rest of the trip would be easy. When they rescued their disciples, they could focus on ransacking the Leng Family.
“What?”
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior who had Lu Li in his hands was surprised. He tried to use his soul power to control Lu Li’s soul. Only, there was an unexpected difficulty!
His strong soul power could not enter Lu Li’s Soul Pond. Outside Lu Li’s Soul Pond came a white hue as a white shield appeared, preventing the foreign soul power from entering.
“Family Patriarch!”
The Earth Immortal Realm warrior turned to Jun Hongye and sought help. If they could not keep Lu Li’s soul in control as soon as possible, he could make his soul seeds run wild. The souls of Jun Mengchen and all the others could collapse.
“What is it?”
Jun Hongye opened his eyes, growing sulky. How difficult could it be to take a Noble Lord Realm warrior down?
“Chirp~”
At that moment, a bead in Lu Li’s hand lit up. Following that, countless Feather Wind flew out. In an instant, the Feather Wind covered up Lu Li along with the Earth Immortal Realm who was controlling him.
“Ah!”
Under the attack of the Feather Wind, the Earth Immortal Realm warrior felt a splitting headache. Out of instinct, he freed his hands to hold his head. Lu Li was dropped to the ground.
“No—”
The Family Patriarch of the Jun Family and the senior warrior of the Hao Family were surprised. They sprang up like eagles, dashing over, trying to bring Lu Li back into control.
“Buzzing!”
The Wicked Bead glowed again as Lu Li vanished into thin air on the spot. The Wicked Bead floated in midair. Slowly, the glow dimmed down until eventually, the Wicked Bead became an average cyan rock frozen in the air.
“Whoosh!”
The several old warriors arrived near the bead. The Family Patriarch of the Jun Family was the quickest among them all. He tried to grab at the bead.
Then what came after was a shock to all—
Jun Hongye had the bead in his hand. When he wanted to take it back, he found the bead frozen in the air, motionless. A glint of cold air glowed in his eyes. He used Xuan Energy and tried to pull the bead which… still didn’t move.
“What?”
Jun Hongye was taken aback. He then slammed at the bead with fury. Horrifying qi extended out from his hand. There was no doubt as to the power of the move.
“Bang!”
However, the bead made a muffled sound but made no move. It remained still in the air. The fact that the bead didn’t move one bit after being struck by a Semi-God Realm warrior was terrifying for all.
“The bead…”
Hao Chanjun, the senior warrior of the Hao Family, and the rest were beaming with lust. The bead must be a piece of invaluable treasure. It should have been obtained from within the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
“Let me have a try!”
Hao Changjun reached out one hand and grabbed at the Wicked Bead. He poured Xuan Energy in when he tried to pull it. But the bead was as motionless as a statue.
“Ha, ha, watch me!”
Wu Guangde, Family Patriarch of the Wu Family from the Mage Imperial Universe, took out a pair of blood-red gloves. He moved toward the bead slowly. From his body spread out a terrible sense as if he was a demon. He exerted all his energy to take the bead but failed.
“Hmm!”
Wu Guangde was enraged by the fact. He took out a glistening saber and cut it at the bead forcefully.
“Buzzing!”
The bead suddenly gave out light at that moment. A person was sent out from the bead. He was right in front of it and was directly contacted by Wu Guangde’s saber.
“Bang!”
A move from a Semi-God Realm warrior was more than powerful. The person showed up blasted into blood mist. Wu Guangde was frightened and then bellowed in rage, “Shiming, no—”
That was right!
The one sent out was Wu Shiming, disciple of the Wu Family, grandson of a patriarch who was present here.
“Shiming?”
A white-haired old man shivered. He walked over and took a closer look to make sure that it was Wu Shiming. The old man stared at the bead and yelled, “Bastard, I swear I will wipe out your entire family!”
“Ha, ha!”
A sneering sound came from the bead, “You old dog! I don’t know if you can do that. But I can tell you that I will kill your Young Master Wu Xie immediately and I can even cut him into many, many pieces. Do you believe me? Also, I have, in my hands, Jun Menghcen, Haochuan, and the young masters and young ladies from the Li Family and the Ren Family. Do you want me to rip them all apart and show them to you?”
“Hiss, hiss~”
The Earth Immortal Realm warriors gasped. The death of Wu Shiming made them realize one thing—the bastard named Lu Li was not a push-over. The disciples could all lose their lives when Lu Li was pushed to the extreme…
“Back off!”
Jun Hongye waved and asked the others to step back the others. Wu Guangde was burning with anger. Even so, he had to push it down or else in the next second, his grandson Wu Xie would become another cold body.
“Good!”
Lu Li’s voice came from the Wicked Bead, “I have said this before. I am a mere nobody, and I have no desire whatsoever to challenge your authorities. I just want to stay alive. If I cannot, then I will have to take your disciples with me.”
Lu Li’s appeal was clear, and he was resolute. It was now up to the Family Patriarchs to decide. Of course, the fact that Lu Li could announce his appeal was because of the Wicked Bead.
Without the Wicked Bead, Lu Li would have been captured, and he would not have any ground for negotiation. The Wicked Bead didn’t let him down. He didn’t know that it could stay still in the air and not even Semi-God Realm warriors could move it.
What was more…
The defense of the bead seemed to be impressive as well. Jun Hongye had slammed at it. The bead didn’t even shake or move, let alone be destroyed.
“Relic!”
It was unlikely that a Quasi Relic could have such power or such a high level of defense. It must be a Relic.
It was a pity that Lu Li could not unlock the six seals or else he was sure that the bead could bring him more surprises.
