Chapter 672: Buddy
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li only turned his eye away from the octopus after Shi Jun was in its stomach. He waved and Hu Lang flew up to the blue sea lion. It and the octopus went back to Lu Li, staying beside him.
Lu Li stood at the head of the sea serpent. Looking at the Deputy Master of Hades Society calmly, Lu Li said, “Who are you? Whether I want to become Hades Society’s enemy is not the point. I wonder if Hades Society want to be my enemy. Or…are you thinking about killing me?”
Lu Li was not making perfect sense but the Hades Society warriors did understand him. He was delivering threat, leveraging the influence of the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall.
The Hades Society wouldn’t dare to kill Lu Li publicly.
Yang Tiancheng, Deputy Master of the Hades Society, was fuming with anger that his mustache was standing on its root. Glaring at Lu Li, he said, “I am Yang Tiancheng from the Hades Society. Lu Li, what are you trying to get? Why did you show up in our territory with three Beast Kings and kill our people? You will not see the end of it until you give us a full account.”
“No end? What exactly do you mean?”
Lu Li looked at Yang Tiancheng with indifference and snorted, “You will not see the end of it. Recluse Solar Dragon ganged up with Zhao Moyang and Li Yang to kill me. Zhao Moyang and Li Yang, I killed them. Recluse Solar Dragon escaped to your territory himself and claimed he was one of you. Now, Shi Jun, he was facilitating Recluse Solar Dragon’s escape and he tried to kill me. So, can I say that Hades Society was the one ordering Recluse Solar Dragon and the other two to trap and kill me?”
Yang Tiancheng and the others felt their heads spin. They didn’t know Zhao Moyang or Li Yang. But they had heard of Recluse Solar Dragon. After all, this man was famous at the Central Plains for being a pervert.
Lu Li turned about and hit the Hades Society with a rake. He was the one riding the high horses. He acted as if he wanted to put Hades Society in a hard spot, making it difficult for Yang Tiancheng to react.
They could not attack or kill Lu Li. To offend Lu Li was practically provoking a mad dog.
They were only informed that three Beast Kings were invading but not that the three Beast Kings were related to Lu Li. How could Beast Kings listen to Lu Li’s orders? Yang Tiancheng and the others were equally shocked.
Yang Tiancheng felt disgraced that Shi Jun died right under his nose in public. Yang Tiancheng felt they must do something or the Hades Society would be humiliated if words got out.
That being said, Yang Tiancheng didn’t know what to do. He said with sarcasm, “What are you saying? I don’t understand. You killed our men for no reason. So, I have to take you down. We will let Grand Master Xing to judge.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li retorted, “Do it. I will kill the four people with you first and then I will knock my head against a wall and kill myself. You want to try it?”
“…”
Yang Tiancheng was speechless. They had seen unreasonable people but nobody was like Lu Li. It was doubtful whether Lu Li could kill the four Human Sovereign Realm warriors or knock his head against a wall. However, what if?
Hu Lang and three Beast Kings, practically, could qualify as four Human Sovereign Realm warriors. With the presence of so many powerful warriors, Lu Li would find it hard to hit against a wall. But what if he started self-destruction? Hades Society wouldn’t be able to defend themselves if Lu Li was pushed to death in public. What would Xing Mu think of it? What would he do?
Hades Society had connections at the Demon-slaying Hall but they looked far inferior to the connections of the Samsara Palace. Over the years, Hades Society had offended many forces. On the off chance that those forces would use this as an excuse to add to Xing Mu’s fury, rally together to attack the Hades Society, that would be the demise of it.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Tiancheng suddenly moved his lips to send a sound to Lu Li, “Lu Li, don’t go too far. When we shed all pretenses of cordiality, you won’t be able to live comfortably, either. We will not go after you on the matter of Shi Jun. You go now, with the Beast Kings.”
Yang Tiancheng, compromised!
Lu Li did expect this. He was being bossy and unreasonable on purpose to force the Hades Society to concede. The world didn’t run on rules and many were unreasonable. The weaker one was, the more easily one would become a target of bullying.
Lu Li was only here to kill Recluse Solar Dragon, not to displease the Hades Society. What was more, he was dying to go back to the Deserted World to save Bai Qiuxue.
After some thoughts, Lu Li said, “Buddy, come here. Let’s talk about it.”
“Buddy?”
The four Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Hades Society, Hu Lang, and the Shi Family warriors were rendered speechless. They didn’t know that Yang Tiancheng and Lu Li had communicated secretly. They were taken by surprise to see Lu Li suddenly adopt a kind attitude and call him “buddy”.
“Hmm, if you cannot provide me with a good offer, I will lead armies to destroy the Northern Desert and the Clouds Plains.”
Yang Tiancheng acted in an arrogant manner but he took the initiative of flying toward Lu Li who turned a deaf ear to what Yang Tiancheng had said. Lu Li ordered the sea serpent to fly away. Hu Lang was worried but Lu Li waved him to stay calm so Hu Lang didn’t go.
By flying away, Lu Li was offering the Hades Society a way out with dignity. If the Hades Society was disgraced, Yang Tiancheng would be put into a difficult position. By then, there wouldn’t be an easy way out and Recluse Solar Dragon might be able to get away.
Three miles away from the city, Lu Li was sure nobody would hear them talk. He stopped and said, “Deputy Master Yang, you want us to leave? Fine. Capture Recluse Solar Dragon for us and compensate us.”
“Recluse Solar Dragon? Compensation?”
Yang Tiancheng’s mustache was dancing in anger again. He retorted, “Lu Li, who do you think you are? You must understand this. You started it and you killed our people. We are already doing Xing Mu a favor by not holding you accountable. You want us to do something for you? Compensation? What are you thinking?”
“Alright. Fine!”
Lu Li waved his hand and said with a grin, “Buddy, don’t be cross. You are not a young man and try to take care. I will not ask for compensation. You go and get Recluse Solar Dragon for me. You must be able to take him down. He is just a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. How about that?”
“No!”
Yang Tiancheng pulled a long face. He turned around and said, “Leave now and we will forget that you killed our men. If you dare to make a fuss, I will not show mercy.”
“How dare you?”
Lu Li was steaming with anger. He patted the horn of the sea serpent and it flew away. Lu Li looked back at Yang Tiancheng with indignation and said, “If you don’t do it, I will do it myself. But if I kill someone in your family on my way and massacred several cities, you cannot blame me.”
“You…”
Shivering with anger, Yang Tiancheng shouted, “Get back here. I, will get him for you. But…you must leave now. You wait at the Cloud Sea. I will hand him to you after a couple of days.”
“Deal!”
Lu Li put on a grin and said, “Buddy, don’t be stubborn. I don’t want to make it ugly.”
“Don’t call me Buddy. I don’t know you that well!”
Yang Tiancheng looked away from Lu Li’s grinning face in rage. After Lu Li flew away, Yang Tiancheng gritted his teeth and said, “Bastard, you have a few more years. Once the time is up, I will tear apart all your families and friends at the Clouds Plains and the Northern Desert.”
