The voice may sound like Zi Lian’s but the tone was not. Lu Li remembered someone. It was the God of Wings that the Feather Race worshiped.

Another person came to Lu Li’s mind was Ye Nishang, Ye Luo’s cousin.

“The great God of Wings, your children need your help. I, Ye Nishang, will burn my soul and be your slave throughout eternity, only in exchange for the strength you bestow upon me...”

Lu Li still recalled the words Ye Nishang said when she offered up a sacrifice. It was said that a couple of years ago, Zi Lian traveled to the Feather Land of the West and Ocean Land of the East. When she came back to cultivate, she made stunning signs of progress and, in a few years, she reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

Lu Li had thought that she had worked with a will to develop, resulting in her fast breakthrough in realms because of his refusal of her heart and reached the Earth Immortal Realm quickly. Now, he understood that it was because of God of Wing’s help. Several years ago, she had sacrificed herself to the God of Wings and became its slave.

The change of her temperament, flirting with Jiang Wuwo and creating messes not long ago could all be understood by Lu Li now.

Zi Lian also insisted on coming to the Demon-slaying City and she refused to leave just now. She must be waiting for this opportunity to ruin the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse.

Still, Lu Li had some questions!

Zi Lian had many chances to approach Lu Li, including the one time at the Cherry Blossom Valley. Why didn’t God of Wings take actions?

If God of Wings were to make sudden moves at the Cherry Blossom Valley, Lu Li would have been killed right away and the Wicked Bead would fall into the hands of God of Wings. When Zi Lian went to the Demon-slaying City with Lu Li, they took Teleportation Formations together. That was also a great chance for actions...

“Is Zi Lian’s soul not completely possessed by God of Wings or things were not ready yet?”

Lu Li did not find the answer and he did not have the time to. He was filled with rage. He had been repulsed by Zi Lian. Now, knowing that her soul was being controlled by God of Wings, he did not loathe her anymore. She was involuntary.

Lu Li’s anger was because of God of Wings who not only damaged the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse but also Zi Lian.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Zi Lian laughed in a pleasant voice. “Lu Li, you are quite clever. You never thought that you could see me so soon, right? Last time, you ruined my avatar. Today, I will settle the score and finish you once and for all.”

Furious as Lu Li was, he remained in his sane mind. Statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse had been destroyed. There was no more reliance for him. He could only count on himself!

If he could not stop God of Wings and those Semi-God Realm warriors, the disaster at the Heaven Reverse Universe would not be able to be avoided. Given how much Yan Gu, Wu Guangde, Jun Hongye, and the others hated Lu Li, they would kill over half, if not all, humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe...

Lu Li had another card in his sleeve, the most powerful of all—the Slayer’s blood!

He was ready to risk everything. Everything happened because of the Wicked Bead, because of him. He could not implicate the civilians of the Heaven Reverse Universe who were innocent and had the right to live. If too many died because of him, Lu Li would spend his life in guilt and agitation even if he could prolong his last stand...

He would rather fight a heroic fight.

The Slayer’s blood was potent. The first time he used it, he killed the Asmodian Lord and Dragon Demon. The second time, he used the Slayer’s move and severed the God of Wing’s avatar.

Lu Li was confident that with the Slayer’s blood, he could again release the Slayer’s move which was horrifying. He was not certain that he could finish this God of Wing’s avatar, but he sure could slay the warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm.

“Let’s do it!”

Lu Li made up his mind. He began to make arrangements for the future. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others were in the Wicked Bead. The former’s wounds had not been healed yet and had little abilities restored.

Lu Li woke up Patriarch of Law Enforcement who was tending to his wounds, “Great Grandpa, things are messy at the moment. I will have to leave and fight. Later, I will try and intercept all the enemies and you need to evacuate to the Inferno at once. If and when I crush the jade talisman, close off all the passageways!”

Lu Li sounded serious, just as if he was planning for after his death. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was shocked. Coldly, he said, “I am not leaving. I am old. Your grandpa is there to manage Inferno and Prison of Wood. Let me stay with you till the end.”

Another stubborn man!

This time, Lu Li did not yell. He smiled. “Great-grandpa, don’t forget that I have the Wicked Bead and another drop of blood. When I consume the blood, my abilities can increase to the level of an immortal. There is still a chance that I will survive. If you stayed, I would be distracted. Great Grandpa... don’t make it too hard for me, okay?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s heart ached. Lu Li was sincere, and he begged. Eventually, the former did not disobey Lu Li. Closing his eyes, Patriarch of Law Enforcement waved his hand and said, “Alright, fine. Lu Li... you must stay alive. Nothing else matters. If they want the bead, give it to them. Where there is life, there is hope.”

“Yes! Great-grandpa, I know!”

Lu Li nodded. Inside, he was smiling bitterly. If the enemies would leave after they had the Wicked Bead, Lu Li would consider about it.

But that was evidently not likely.

The hatred between him and his enemies was deep-rooted. He would actually die faster if he gave up the Wicked Bead. Compromising to the enemies would be asking for self-destruction. The only option was to fight and finish all enemies to strive for life.

Lu Li took out the Slayer’s blood in front of Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi. The moment the cap was unplugged, a survey of strong energy spread across. Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi trembled.

Lu Li had taken the blood out to reassure the three of them. “This is a drop of blood from an immortal, a very powerful immortal. I used this drop of blood to kill the Asmodian Lord. Great-grandpa, get ready. Later, I will send you out and you need to leave immediately. Master of Fairy Fox, you go as well. Master of Haechi, you need to stay. Great-grandpa, please take Little White with you.” He said with a smile.

Master of Fairy Fox was secretly happy. On the other hand, Master of Haechi was not. Staying, Lu Li boded ill rather than well. Master of Haechi would have to sacrifice with Lu Li. However, being Lu Li’s spirit animal, there was nothing he could say. He only gazed at Lu Li unhappily.

“Phew, phew~”

Lu Li took a deep breath and threw a look to Little White who was sleeping in a corner. He took out the Slayer’s blood. This was the last one. Without it, he might never get a second chance to learn the Slayer’s move.

A move of a super mighty warrior in the Divinity. This was not a chance that could come by every day, but Lu Li had to miss it...

“Whoosh~”

Before Lu Li consumed the Slayer’s move, Zi Lian had flown past Yan Gu and the others. Her moves were relaxed and graceful, like a Heavenly fairy descending to the world.

“Hoy!”

She stopped several thousand feet away from the Wicked Bead. Then, she generated a beautiful hand and reached out from the Wicked Bead. She used this skill last time. In her grip, the Wicked Bead would not be able to move one bit.

“Do it now!”

Lu Li did not hesitate any longer. He threw the Slayer’s blood into his mouth and was ready to risk his own life.
