Chapter 973: Fish on the Hook

“Mythical Creature?”

Master of Haechi was greatly surprised. He stood humpbacked involuntarily. The fear in his heart deepened as he further sensed the breath of the Dragon Demon.

He could tell a sense of Mythical Creature in the Dragon Demon, a real Mythical Creature, unlike the Master of Silver Dragon who was only a Mythical Creature-to-be.

The races had their respective deities of worship. That for the paleo-beasts were the Mythical Creatures. Even of different species, the paleo-beasts were not unfamiliar with Mythical Creatures.

Dragon Demon was summoned from the world above. Though the Dragon Demon was not an immortal yet—the Mythical Creature sense of it could not be faked nor ignored…

This Mythical Creature was this human’s spiritual beast?

A great disturbance was raging in the heart of Master of Haechi. Lu Li had a Relic. Was he the son of an immortal, and had descended to this mortal world? Or, was Lu Li a reincarnated immortal?

Lu Li could see the hesitation in the eyes of Master of Haechi. “Master of Haechi, you should know that no beasts at the Paleo-beast Realm can stop us. If you are set in your own ways, all the paleo-beasts will be extinguished. Surrender to me and I will promise that the Haechi species can live on for another ten thousand generations. Also… I only need you to serve me for a hundred years. After that, you will have your freedom back!” Lu Li said.

“A hundred years?”

Master of Haechi was struggling. Beasts usually lived longer than humans. A more powerful beasts could live for four to five thousand years. One hundred years was just a short moment.

“Dragon Demon!”

Seeing that the Master of Haechi could not pay a decision after such a long time, Lu Li threw an impatient glance to Dragon Demon. The surge of red airstream tumbled around the Dragon Demon. The Master of Haechi was covered up by the red airstream and was completely immobilized.

“Kill Master of Haechi and then his entire species!”

Lu Li shouted. The Dragon Demon whooshed on. It spread its wings and swung its paw at the head of Master of Haechi. As the Dragon Demon attacked, it emitted a violent rage, which almost scared Master of Haechi out of his wits.

“Please, no I, surrender…”

At the last critical moment, Master of Haechi opened his mouth and yelled. Lu Li was wild with joy. The Master of Haechi’s skill was incredible. He could be of great help in the future.

Lu Li gave the Dragon Demon a mental order for it to retreat and said to Master of Haechi, “You know how to become a spiritual beast, right? Give me your source of soul.”

“Yes…”

Master of Haechi forced a smile. He closed his eyes and began to take out his source of soul. He was nurturing grievance. He knew that once he became the spiritual beast of a human being, he would be looked down upon by other beasts for the rest of his life and the Haechi species would be despised by other species.

On the other hand!

A Mythical Creature had surrendered to Lu Li. What was there to be ashamed of? The Haechi species might be discriminated by others. But if he did not surrender, there would be no Haechi species.

What was more, Lu Li only required him to serve for a hundred years. After that, he would be a free soul again, which was indeed appealing.

A moment later, from between Master of Haechi’s eyebrows flew out a cyan mark between Lu Li’s eyebrows. A cyan mark emerged on Lu Li’s forehead. Master of Haechi turned into a shadow and vanished into the mark.

“Okay!”

Lu Li checked it and was satisfied. Master of Haechi had become his spiritual beast. But he did have some question when he looked at the Dragon Demon. Could he have two spiritual beasts at the same time?

“Back!”

He then had to try it—the Dragon Demon became a shadow and then vanished between his eyebrows in a blur.

That cyan mark between his eyebrows shrank when Dragon Demon entered and emerged in the middle of the red mark. Looking from a distance, it was as if there was a third eye between his eyebrows, which was quite strange…

“Alright now!”

Lu Li grinned. With the Master of Haechi, he had one more skill to leverage. When the warriors of the nine universes came, Master of Haechi could be his ingenious military move.

“Nicely done!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement flew over and nodded. “Master of Haechi is impressive. But taking spiritual beasts is the same as soul slaves. Do not take too many, or else your cultivation is going to be affected. Your own abilities are the true power. All the other paths are distractions.”

“Great-grandpa, I understand. I will dismiss my spiritual connection with the soul slaves when we return!”

Given Lu Li’s current abilities, those Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves were of little use. He could kill them or have someone else control them. Lu Zhengyang could take the control and turn them into guards of the Lu Family.

About four Earth Immortal Realm soul slaves of the Feng Family from the Central Imperial Universe, Lu Li took a Heaven Reverse blood oath that he would return their freedom in 10 years. However, warriors of the nine universes were coming. Lu Li would not stick to moral principle when they exhibited none of such principles.

He could set the four Earth Immortal Realm warriors free, but Patriarch of Law Enforcement could capture the four again. If they were unwilling to surrender by then, he could end their lives. Lu Li would never be merciful to his enemies.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White came and stood on Lu Li’s shoulder. Little White raised its head, waiting to be praised by Lu Li. He patted its head with a smile and let it back into the Wicked Bead.

“What now?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement gazed into the distance. They must find a way to kill Master of Silver Dragon and the others.

Lu Li thought about it for a moment. Suddenly, he had an idea. “Master of Silver Dragon and the others are about to get here. How about… we direct a play for them?”

Old-fashioned as Patriarch of Law Enforcement was, he was an experienced warrior. A glow came into his eyes. “You mean, with Master of Haechi?”

“Yes!” Lu Li nodded. “Great-grandpa, but you will need to take some risk. I will have Master of Haechi to trap you in the cyan airstream. When Master of Silver Dragon and the others are here, I will let Master of Haechi strike them.”

“No problem!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement was confident about his defensive power. He might not be able to stand the soul attack from Master of Fairy Fox, but inside the cyan airstream, Master of Silver Dragon would not be able to kill him, either.

“Master of Haechi, get out!”

Lu Li shouted. A cyan shadow emerged between his eyebrows. Master of Haechi came into being in the air. “Use that cyan airstream to trap my great grandpa!” Lu Li instructed.

“Yes!”

Since he was Lu Li’s spiritual beast, Master of Haechi did not hesitate and breathed out cyan airstream to trap Patriarch of Law Enforcement at once. The latter was not harmed in there. He just had difficulties moving about.

“Okay, we are waiting for the fish to take the bait!”

Lu Li gave Master of Haechi some instructions and entered the Wicked Bead which floated in the air. He waited quietly.

“Whoosh~”

After the time for one incense stick to burn, from the distance came a noise. Masters of Silver Dragon Ten-winged Wolf, Fairy Fox, and Ghost Face Spider were here. The show began on Lu Li’s side. He used the Wicked Bead to pound Master of Haechi who would breathe airstream to try to trap the Wicked Bead while Patriarch of Law Enforcement attempted to fly out of the airstream…

“Roar!”

Master of Silver Dragon came, roaring. He was hopping mad to see Masters of Blood Ape and Spiritual Qiongqi dead. At the same time, he was thrilled to see Patriarch of Law Enforcement trapped. He sped up and came rushing by.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted and smashed at Master of Silver Dragon with the Wicked Bead.

Master of Haechi “chased after” Lu Li. When Master of Silver Dragon and the other three were attacking at the Wicked Bead, Master of Haechi breathed out cyan airstream and enveloped the Wicked Bead along with the four masters before they could react.

“Master of Haechi, you moron!”

Master of Silver Dragon sensed his speed slowed down. Wrathful, he shouted. Surprisingly, Master of Haechi kept on breathing cyan airstream and the four masters were trapped.

“Wait a minute—”

Master of Fairy Fox gave Master of Haechi several looks. Suddenly, she yelled in shock, “We are duped. The bastard Master of Haechi has become this human’s spiritual beast.”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li delightfully laughed out loud. The Wicked Bead trembled and leaped across space to thirty miles away. Soon, he came back. They heard joyful voices of him coming from inside the Wicked Bead, “Nicely done, Master of Haechi, you can have Master of Fairy Fox to yourself later…”

The light of desire in Master of Haechi’s eyes was glaring!
