Chapter 312 - Lord Haize
Chapter 312: Lord Haize
As cold sweat dripped down his cheeks, Li Xianyu knew he was in the biggest crisis since he was born. He shouted for help from Mother Hua Yang in his heart but did not receive a response at all. He could feel that Mother Hua Yang was still in his sea of consciousness, but was temporarily restrained by a powerful mental energy.
Great-Grandma has been quiet for a long time, and I’m guessing something went wrong. The big shots have exhausted their energy, and now they’re seriously injured. Things are not looking good if they don’t get treatment in time.
In comparison, Battle Lady and Cui Hua are in a better state. Not necessarily, we’re still fish on the chopping board, we are not out of danger.
What else can I use? Damn it. Priest Wang Chen’s soul has returned to nature at the Forum Conference. If he was here, what is the Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance? He would end them all with a slash of his sword…
Oh right, I have Slime. No, she’s too powerful for me. I can’t even touch her.
Gluttony? Wrath? They won’t work too. The opponent is a Half-Step Gokudo maste. Even if I were to risk my life and use Gluttony, I might not be able to defeat her.
Desperate, Li Xianyu found himself out of ace cards. Since his journey, he had posed as a Kryptonite player and a badass player, surrounded by a strong harem and a rich accumulation of points.
Even Li Peiyun and Jie Se were inferior to him in terms of resources.
As his cultivation increased rapidly, Great-Grandma’s seal was slowly shattering. This made his ego grow and he felt that he could deal with anything the world had to throw at him.
At this moment, in front of the Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance, he found himself weak and defenseless. In such a state, once he became a public enemy of the demons descendants’ community, he could not escape the fate of his father, Li Wuxiang.
She didn’t kill me right away, nor did she kill Battle Lady. Thunderlord and the other gods were as wounded by the Great Demons’ Alliance’s protectors so she was avenging her subordinates and taking revenge. Her murderous intent was not strong.
Li Xianyu’s eyes lit up. We can talk!
“Umm, I think it’s all a misunderstanding. Baoze is not trying to force the Great Demons’ Alliance into a dead…” Li Xianyu forced out an amiable smile, but at that point he was immediately interrupted by the Emperor in an icy manner.
“Not listening!” Her voice was hoarse, deliberately concealing her tone.
With his smile frozen in his face and cold sweat dripping down, Li Xianyu looked at the other party in trepidation.
Not listening? What do you mean not listening? You’re not going to talk about it. So you’re going to kill us? No, no, no, big guy, give us a chance. We can still be saved.
If it was someone else who was rejected by such a powerful and cold character, they would have remained silent. However, Li Xianyu was thick-skinned and his sense of shame was non-existent.
He took a deep breath, and the smile of a gentle little dog reappeared on his face. “There is no conflict in the world that cannot be resolved, and Baoze and the Great Demons’ Alliance have not arrived at a…”
“Not listening!” Once again, the Emperor, wearing a silver mask, cut him off coldly.
Not listening, my ass, can you have a proper conversation with me? Why does this terrible personality feel so familiar… Li Xianyu’s face twitched but the next moment, he smiled affably again.
“You see, we didn’t kill your protectors. Baoze doesn’t really want to force you into a dead end, and we were ordered to be taken alive…”
“Shut up, asshole,” the woman in the mask replied nonchalantly.
Hey, your mom, Li Xianyu cursed internally. Restrain your anger! Your dog life matters. Li Xianyu said with a polite smile, “Your eyes are so sharp, everyone says I look like an asshole.”
The scene was incredibly awkward and the woman in the silver mask stared at Li Xianyu with a cold glance. The glance was cold and angry, and Li Xianyu avoided her glance at first. He later decided to make eye contact with her straight. Slowly, Li Xianyu discovered that her eyes seemed familiar. However, after her eyes turned red, the color of the pupils changed so dramatically that he could not see anything in those eyes.
Behind the silver-masked woman, the protectors sat cross-legged, holding a wine flask in their hands, pouring some sort of liquid into their mouth. Using a breathing technique, their wounds gradually healed.
Condor Babe, who hated Li Xianyu, egged the Emperor on. “Emperor, don’t waste time talking to him. Break his legs first to teach him a lesson.”
Protector Bull chimed in. “How troublesome. Just kill this kid and then slaughter the other Baoze members. We’re going to change the location of our base anyway.”
Hu Yan who did not participate in the war stood beside them, uninjured. When he heard their words, his expression suddenly turned dark. What a group of dumb people, if they killed the Li family descendant today, they would have to die with him.
Everyone in the demon descendants’ community was eyeing the Great Deities Palace but allowed Li Xianyu to continue going around right under their noses. Didn’t they think why this was the case?
The Emperor was formidable, but she was young after all. Thus, she was no match for a berserk Unparalleled War Spirit.
Thinking of the Unparalleled War Spirit, he could not help but think of the second half of this year, when China and the United States had a joint… Pfft. When the Great Deities Palace opens this year, the secret alliance hidden beneath the surface will emerge.
The existence of the Soul Destroying Alliance made sense. The Unparalleled War Spirit exerted enough pressure on the various forces of the world that they didn’t dare to act. Like now, even if they had the upper hand, the Great Demons’ Alliance was still afraid to kill Li Xianyu.
Where there was resistance, there was revolt. The Soul Destroying Alliance was a new-era organization, and it was the time of the Unparalleled War Spirit to be over.
“I think Protector Eagle’s proposal is good. Keep him alive to add leverage to the next negotiations between us and Baoze,” Hu Yan reminded subtly.
It was not for the Emperor to hear. With her intelligence, he didn’t need to tell her explicitly. His words were meant for these unintelligent protectors.
Li Xianyu smiled sheepishly and said, “Sister, we are serving our respective masters and I’m not taking the initiative to target you. You are a gracious person, don’t hold it against a small fry like me.”
The Emperor didn’t kill me, which means there’s still room for negotiation. My harem and the gods’ lives are in my hands. It’s okay for me to grovel as long as I can save them.
Condor Babe was delighted as she felt pleased. So this is what it feels like to be in power. She said, “It’s too late for you to admit your mistakes.”
Li Xianyu said hurriedly, “It’s not too late, I’m in the wrong.” His glance was focused on the silver alloy-masked woman, watching her expression.
At that point, he found a hint of anger in the woman’s eyes.
Li Xianyu was shocked. I’m already groveling and you are still not satisfied?
Condor Babe huffed. “I’m a gracious person, so I will give you a chance.”
Li Xianyu smiled modestly. “Please, do tell.”
Condor Babe looked up with a prideful expression. “Call me mother in a respectful tone.”
Li Xianyu discovered that the anger in the woman’s eyes grew, and he was dumbfounded. It’s not directed at me?
“Enough chatter.” The woman gave a cold grunt and turned around, with a wave of her sleeve.
The majestic qi surged, and the crowd felt like they had been hit head on by a powerful wave. Including Hu Yan, the protectors fell over under the impact.
Condor Babe fell and her face was swollen and bruised. She felt wronged, shouting innocently, “Emperor!”
The woman said coldly, “Shut up, is it your place to speak?”
The protectors kept silent.
The woman turned and looked at Li Xianyu again, and her voice was as hoarse as ever, “I’ve hurt your women. What do you think about that?”
Li Xianyu was dumbfounded but replied immediately, “It was my honor.”
The woman nodded, as if she was perfectly satisfied with the answer, and she said, “However, you have injured my protectors and I won’t let this go easily.”
The protectors were delighted. The Empress is a little moody, but she still cares for us, they thought.
“What do you want?” Li Xianyu’s flattery vanished as his muscles were tense. He was on guard and thought he would risk it all if necessary. Kill me if you dare, Great-Grandma will avenge me.
However, the Emperor’s next move was a shock to everyone.
She approached Li Xianyu, raised her delicate hand, and curled her fingers. Finally, she flicked him on the forehead.
Li Xianyu was confused.
The protectors were also confused.
The woman ignored the dumbfounded crowd and Li Xianyu. She turned to the protectors, and ordered, “Tie them up. We’ll let Baoze pay ransom for them, a billion dollars for each person.”
Li Xianyu touched his forehead in confusion. She had let me off so easily? Was it because of my handsome looks? he thought.
Although they survived, they have now become prisoners, and Baoze needed to pay a billion dollars for each of them.
I’ve screwed up. It’s over. My reputation of being a trouble magnet will spread throughout the country’s branches.
Look, look, that’s the trouble magnet. His name is Li Xianyu. Four god-class masters were with him and he managed to screw up with them on the mission.
From then on, no one would ever be willing to form a team with him.
Li Xianyu’s heart was particularly bleak.
The protectors moved, holding the Demon Trapping Chains that had just been used to control them. They approached Ape God and the others, preparing to gather the prisoners of war together.
Suddenly, the woman with the silver alloy mask looked up at the morning sky.
A cold harrumph rang in the air. “Young lady, you even dare to capture the members of Baoze. I see that you have no respect for me, Lord Haize.”
A giant statue of Buddha with his palms clasped together emerged in the azure sky, and under the sun’s illumination, it emitted a golden and brilliant light.
The statue of Buddha was seen in the sky from being immaterial to tangible, as if it were a true Buddha.
The Buddha’s half-open eyes opened, with a cold but loving gaze. Next, his palms moved and raised his right palm, slowly pressing it down.
“Tat… Tathagata Palm?!” Li Xianyu was shell-shocked.
The faces of the Great Demons’ Alliance protectors turned deathly pale, as the mighty qi descended, as if the celestial river had poured down.
