Chapter 998: Inviting a Death Wish

Many people could not understand Lu Li’s order and even Jiang Tianshun was surprised and bewildered. But he came to his senses after receiving a cold glance from Lu Li. “Withdraw!” Jiang Tianshun yelled.

Lu Li was their leader and the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall, which implied that his orders could not be carried out and not disobeyed. Patriarch Sun, Patriarch Lei and the others came around as well. They instructed the warriors to retreat.

Human warriors valued military discipline very much. Now that an order for retreat had come from the leaders, all the warriors flew up and left as fast as they could. The wounded were carried away and the dead bodies were left behind.

Jiang Tianshuan and many Earth Immortal Realm warriors had been keeping a watchful eye on the Voodoo Race to make sure that they were not being chased. Then, Jiang Tianshun and those Earth Immortal Realm warriors came to Lu Li and asked. To this question, Lu Li answered, “Let our troops go back to the Demon-slaying Battleground and you will guard at the entrances.”

“Buzzing!”

Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead and teleported Jiang Qiling and the twins out. “Bring them back as well, directly to the Demon-slaying City.” He told Jiang Tianshun.

“Darling?”

Bai Qiuxue asked while frowning. Jiang Qiling and Bai Xiashuang were in a gloomy state but did not question him.

“I will tell you later!” Lu Li waved his hand and said with determination, “Carry out my order, now!”

Jiang Tianshun grabbed Jiang Qiling and let the other patriarchs protect Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. They flew away quickly.

Lu Li turned to He Yue who looked awful. After Jiang Tianshun and the group left, she finally whispered, “That toxic fog is spreading here fast. My subsidiary bodies are dying!”

“Can it really be… poison from the Divinity?”

Lu Li’s eyebrows were knitted together. Making the human warriors retreat was not an act of insane mind but… of fear.

He Yue’s subsidiary bodies noticed that a statue in an altar in the Lu City of Voodoo lit up. The statue gave out some pink smoke which was spreading out rapidly. In this short period of time, an area of thirty thousand miles had been affected and all of He Yue’s subsidiary bodies in that area had died. Those subsidiary bodies would be killed instantly as long as they came in contact with the pink smoke.

For this reason, Lu Li ordered the troops to retreat. They could be called back in the fray if needed. But if this smoke was really toxins from the Divinity, then the two million warriors would all lose their lives when stayed.

Lu Li did not leave!

He was strong and his body had been transformed after absorbing the Liquid of Dragons. Not even the Three-legged Golden Toad’s toxins could do him any harm. What was more, say he was faced with toxins from the Divinity, he had the Wicked Bead, a Relic. It was not likely that the smoke could penetrate a Relic.

“Grand Master Lu!”

Master of Voodoo Race shouted coldly, “Your warriors have gone. Why are you staying here? Are you really going to fight to the death with us? I am giving you another chance. Leave now… or you will never leave the Voodoo Land of the South.”

“Hmm!”

Lu Li sneered and did not glorify that with an answer. He gazed at the Lu City of Voodoo. Voodoo Race warriors were gathered together, wondering why Lu Li ordered a retreat when evidently the human race had gained the upper hand and why he was staying himself.

“What is that?”

Soon, some Voodoo Race warriors shouted in surprise. Turning to the Lu City of Voodoo, the Voodoo Race warriors were filled with a puzzle. A red glow was emerging in the horizon and that red line grew to a red cloud and soon, the entire sky was pink in color.

The pink smoke was moving fast, faster than a regular Earth Immortal Realm warrior in flying. In an instant, the smoke had arrived and all the Voodoo Race warriors were enveloped.

“What…”

Many Voodoo Race warriors breathed in the pink smoke. Instead of being poisoned, they appeared to be in ecstasy. A powerful Voodoo Race warrior suddenly dropped to his knees; raised his hands and then prostrated himself on the ground while murmuring, “The great God of Sorcerer has come. He has not forgotten us. He has come. This is… the Original Essence Toxin, a toxin from the Divinity!”

“Plop, plop!”

“Is this really toxins from the Divinity?”

Lu Li’s eyebrows were knitted together. He decided against taking any risks and dashed into the Wicked Bead with He Yue, letting the Wicked Bead float in the air quietly.

“Swish, swish!”

The toxins moved over, enveloping the area where the Wicked Bead was at and further out. It seemed that there were enough toxins that could cover up the entire Voodoo Land of South.

“Lu Li!”

Holding the wand while raising it—Master of Voodoo Race shouted, “The great God of Sorcerer has presented himself and has given us the toxins from the Divinity. If you don’t leave now, you will never be able to leave. Go and we will each mind our own businesses from now on, how about that?”

“Buzzing~”

At that moment, the Wicked Bead glowed. The toxins were attacking at the Wicked Bead and quite strongly comparable to the constant attack of a warrior at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Lu Li monitored for a moment and was relieved to see that the energy was not being depleted rapidly. He again paid no attention to Master of Voodoo Race. He was wondering if this toxin was really from the Divinity, given how ferocious it was.

Could it be…?!

In the Divinity, a place far, far away, the God of Sorcerer heard the Voodoo Race’s prayers and used some special means to send toxins across such distance to help the Voodoo Race out of the predicament?

“Is the God of Sorcerer a mighty warrior in the Divinity? Why else can he possess such abilities?”

Emperor Heng sacrificed his life just to come back to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Emperor of Heaven Reverse was born here and the story had it that he was a supreme warrior in the Divinity. However, it had been many years and he had not returned once. It was said that… despite the abilities of Emperor of Heaven Reverse, it was difficult for him to come back to the Heaven Reverse Universe.

The thing was!

If the God of Sorcerer was such a warrior in the Divinity, with such powers, why would he help out the insignificant Voodoo Race? Say the Liu Family from the Thousand Island Lake was seeking Lu Li’s assistance now—given his status, even if he agreed, he would order his subordinates to offer their help and eventually, himself.

“Hmm!”

After much thought, Lu Li decided to pay the Lu City of Voodoo a visit. It’s not like he had never met with an immortal before. He even fought with the avatar of God of Wings.

The Wicked Bead’s energy had been restored over the years. The God of Sorcerer might be able to send down an avatar, so what? Could he break the Wicked Bead when the God of Wings failed?

“Whoosh~”

Ignoring the Master of Voodoo Race and the over ten million warriors, Lu Li flew away from the Wicked Bead. For Lu Li, those were just puny characters that he could crush at will. Nothing would stand in his way as long as he could deal with the toxins from Divinity.

The Wicked Bead was fast and dashed toward the Lu City of Voodoo in a blur. Master of Voodoo Race and the warriors did not even have enough time to react.

“Courting death!”

Master of Voodoo Race sneered. Waving his hand, he led the powerful Voodoo Race warriors and chased after the Wicked Bead. “Lu Li, if you dare to go to the Lu City of Voodoo, the God of Sorcerer will turn your soul into an undead spirit and you will be condemned eternally.” Master of Voodoo Race shouted.
