Chapter 1259: Self-imposed

“Lu Li!”

Ling Feidu said. “I know you can hear me. Come out and let us talk. It will not do us any good if we shed all pretenses of cordiality. Don’t you agree?”

Lu Li did not answer. He knew that once he did, he could no longer stall so he had to pretend that he didn’t hear this.

Ling Feidu wielded his halberd. A ray of dark golden light landed on the Wicked Bead with tremendous force.

“Lu Lin, be sensible!”

Ling Feidu sneered. “Do you have the misconception that I cannot break this bead? We have so many of us and when we do it together, how long can your bead stand?”

Lu Li was silent. Ling Feidu pulled a long face. He walked over and a dark golden light from his hand covered up the Wicked Bead. He was trying to take control.

However… obviously, he did not have God of Wings’ powers. An hour later, Lu Li noticed his spiritual connection to the Wicked Bead had not been weakened at all.

The same thing was noticed by Ling Feidu. He stepped to the side and gave an order coldly, “Strike and open up this bead!”

Ling Feidu took the lead and everyone targeted at the Wicked Bead. After a round of strikes, Lu Li found himself stunned. The energy in the Wicked Bead was decreasing. At this rate, the Wicked Bead would crack in four to five days.

“I’ll wait for another day!”

Lu Li did not dare to respond now. He had to let Ling Feidu and the others strike as they did. Lu Li had been observing the energy of the Wicked Bead. When it was on the verge of cracking, he would send a timely response and request negotiation.

“Blood Fairy!”

Every two hours, Lu Li would send a message to Blood Fairy. Next to him, the Deaf Taoist and warlord skeleton Qing Wujin stood in zeal.

Half a day later, ten percent of the energy had been used. While Lu Li kept a straight face, he was losing patience. How long would Blood Fairy sleep for?

Lu Li’s plan was that when Blood Fairy woke up, he could ask her to reach her tentacle out and change the area around into a blur. That would trap all disciples from Cabinet of Cloud. Lu Li could take such a chance to kill them one by one.

Either he did nothing!

But when he did, he would not let go any of the disciples. He would slaughter them all. That way, news would not reach the Cabinet of Cloud and he could stay alive.

A day later, the Wicked Bead had lost twenty percent but Blood Fairy was still asleep.

Lu Li waited on, in patience. Ling Feidu and the others continued to strike. Ling Feidu had seen other supreme Relics. Given his force and the other over twenty disciples, he believed he could open up the bead in a few days.

Half a day zipped by. Lu Li could not wait any longer. “Who is attacking my bead?” He asked.

“Losing patience, I see.”

Ling Feidu delivered a crooked grin. He waved the others to stop and said, “Lu Lin, it is I, Ling Feidu. Come out. I have some matters I want to discuss with you.”

Lu Li was not an idiot. He would not send himself out to death. “Young Master Ling, there are no ill feelings between us and I have helped you to solve Inhibition Formations. Why are you striking my bead? Are you biting the hand that helped you?” Lu Li said, angrily.

“Shut up!”

Ling Feidu waved his halberd. “Either you come out or I will crack your head to force you out. It is your choice. When your Relic is damaged, it is going to be hard to repair it…”

“What do you want me out for? Just tell me.” Lu Li kept on stalling at the same time, he had been calling Blood Fairy constantly.

“Nothing much!”

Ling Feidu raised his eyebrows. “It’s just that I have some confidence to solve the illusion but I need to borrow two things from you. Give me your bead and that red vine. When I am done removing the formation, I will give them back to you.”

Ling Feidu said so with a ferocious look. It had been made clear that he was going to take away Lu Li’s Wicked Bead and Bloodvine.

Lu Li scorned on the inside but did not express too much of his fury in his words. “My Bloodvine is experiencing some problems. She is still sleeping. Holy Princess and Lou Shi’er know about this. She will wake up in a month. If you want to borrow her, you will have to wait for a month.”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Ling Feidu laughed with derision. “Lu Lin, do not regard me as a fool. Otherwise, you lend to me now or I will have to borrow it, by force. You have the time for one incense stick to burn to think!”

Lu Li said nothing. It was good if he could have the time for one incense stick to burn. What he needed the most now was time. When Blood Fairy woke up, everything would be readily solved.

The time for one incense stick to burn passed soon. Ling Feidu asked, “What do you say?”

Lu Li said, “Give me some time. I need to pack a few things. But… Young Master Ling, how can you ensure my safety? Can you all take an almighty oath?”

Ling Feidu raised his eyebrows. Lu Li was going to come out now? If Lu Li could give up the treasures, then Ling Feidu didn’t have to take great pains. As for killing Lu Li or not… that was not the point. Besides, people other than Ling Feidu could take care of this matter for him. He believed Lu Li would not live once he left the Tomb of King Luna.

“No problem!”

Ling Feidu answered readily, “I can assure your safety as long as you let me borrow your bead and vine. I can take an almighty oath.”

“Sure!”

Lu Li sounded he was about to compromise. “I will pack up. Give me four hours!”

Four hours was an appropriate time. So, Ling Feidu agreed. He waved the others to the sides and signaled two of them who dashed into the distance.

Four hours passed in a blink. Ling Feidu said, “Time is up. Come out. I can take an almighty oath that we will not hurt you.”

Lu Li did not reply as if he was asleep. Ling Feidu shouted again. Receiving no answer from Lu Li, Ling Feidu flew into rage. Clearly, Lu Li had fooled them. He was stalling.

“Attack!”

Ling Feidu shouted, full of wrath. The other disciples hurried over and began to strike the Wicked Bead.

Right at that moment, the entire area began to light up. The views changed instantly. The desert was gone and it was a chaotic blur again.

Fortunately for this group, they were together. Otherwise, many people would wander away in this blurry world.

“How dare you!”

Ling Feidu used psychic power to check. He noticed a blood-red tentacle underneath the Wicked Bead. He would be a fool if he could not tell that Lu Li was behind this.

“Attack!”

Ling Feidu bellowed. But the Wicked Bead flew away into the distance quickly. Ling Feidu gathered everyone and went after the Wicked Bead.

However!

Ling Feidu was shocked to find that every few steps, some of the over twenty people would go missing. The group was shrinking…

“No, this bastard can control or change the formation!”

Ling Feidu was worried. Though he did not know exactly how Lu Li was controlling or changing the formation, he did know that it must be Lu Li who was plotting something by separating the group.

Ling Feidu did not know what to do other than keep going after the Wicked Bead. After a few hundred miles, the Wicked Bead fell to the ground. The desert in this area changed into a blur at once.

Ling Feidu kept on rushing forward. After the time for one incense stick to burn, he realized that everyone around him had gone. The Wicked Bead stopped in the air in front of him. He heard Lu Li’s voice, “Ling Feidu, I didn’t want to finish you. You have made your bed, now lie in it. You asked for this!”

“Buzzing~”

The Wicked Bead glowed and then a skeleton appeared. The skeleton was shining in a black light and was emitting a dreadful energy. A weapon had been unsheathed.
