Chapter 1078: A Spy at the Peak of Semi-God Realm
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chen Tianxian was asking for a peace talk? He hoped Lu Li could spare him alive. Lu Li himself didn’t expect this. Wasn’t every one of the Mage Imperial Universe lunatic? How come this Chen Tianxian was a coward?
As a matter of fact, Chen Tianxian was not afraid of the prospect of death. As a matter of fact, if he died, the Chen Family would be in immense trouble. If not, on the other hand, the Chen Family would stand to gain. Comparing the two options, Chen Tianxian chose to compromise.
This time, many major families from the Mage Imperial Universe sent over quite a number of Semi-God Realm warriors. Wu Guangde and a He Family Patriarch fought to death. There were the four major families in the Mage Imperial Universe. If Chen Tianxian could make it back alive, he could work with the other family to crack down on the Wu and He Family—also even annex the two families.
On the other hand, if Chen Tianxian died, the fourth family would annex the Chen, Wu and He Family. That was why Chen Tianxian assumed such a humble position and asked for a talk. Of course, should Lu Li choose otherwise, Chen Tianxian would have to fight.
Killing Chen Tianxian was not the point. What mattered was what Lu Li could gain.
After some thought, Lu Li said, “Of course it is possible. But that depends on whether you, Family Patriarch Chen, know what the sensible thing to do.”
Chen Tianxian’s eyes lit up. He waved his hand. “All of you, keep a distance of six miles.”
Though the Semi-God Realm warriors here were not from Chen Tianxian’s family, they did not question his order. They stepped back for six miles and didn’t even have the courage to check with psychic power.
Chen Tianxian was not aged, judging by his appearance. His hair was grey. Since over many years, he had to keep his authority with a stern expression, he seemed a bit cold.
He tried to move his lips so that he would not appear so stiff. “Brother Lu, what do you desire? I will not say otherwise as long as it is within my abilities. I don’t want to get into the hatred between us. Everything is because of interest. I hope you understand.”
Chen Tianxian was sincere and didn’t argue anything. He knew he would upset Lu Li if he did. He even did the sensible thing to ask Lu Li to name the terms as a gesture of good faith.
Lu Li did not know what he wanted. He would be satisfied if Chen Tianxian could provide a Relic in exchange for his life. But Chen Tianxian does not have any. As for Quasi Relics and Mystical Materials, Lu Li did not lack any, or advanced skills because he had learned skills from the Divinity.
Hence, he did not know what to ask for. He shrugged. “Chen Tianxian, you should know that I don’t lack anything. The point is what you can give me. What item or benefit you can provide to secure your life!”
Lu Li was being casual as if he believed he could crush Chen Tianxian easily. Instead of feeling humiliated, Chen Tianxian believed Lu Li did have such power. On second thought, Chen Tianxian decided to know, “Yan Gu is dead?”
Lu Li did not answer. He simply took out the Bead of Wood and played with it. Chen Tianxian’s face clouded when he saw this bead. Yan Gu was killed. He would be if he could not give Lu Li a satisfactory answer.
Chen Tianxian was clever. Lu Li had the Wicked Bead already and now he had the Bead of Wood. Lu Li must have an appetite. Chen Tianxian didn’t have to think of any items to give to Lu Li for he would desire none.
Skills?
Not really. Chen Tianxian had witnessed the Slayer’s move. He had some good skills, but they were nothing compared to the Slayer’s move.
He was not a beauty. It was not like he could give Lu Li his body. Eventually, Chen Tianxian said, “Lu Li, I know you will go to the nine universes for revenge. How about… I act as your planted agent? I can lend you a hand when you go to the Divine Imperial Universe.”
As a matter of fact, when Chen Tianxian said so, he was struggling. Though the nine universes had internal conflicts, they hated each other and the war was never-ending, when there was an outside force threatening the nine universes, they would come together.
Tens of thousands of years ago, there once was a world with impressive powers. When that power entered the Prison of Primordial Chaos, claiming they would occupy the Prison of Wood. This world had their share of powerful warriors who killed many from the nine universes. In the end, this world suffered from the allied attack from the nine universes. All the powerful warriors from this world were wiped out and now, the force was affiliated to the Divine Imperial Universe…
Heaven Reverse Universe was a small one. Though it was related to Emperor of Heaven Reverse who was from the Central Imperial Universe, the Heaven Reverse Universe was regarded as a wasteland—a puny place in the eyes of the nine universes.
Chen Tianxian and Lu Li from the Heaven Reverse Universe were going to join hands? If things were disseminated, Chen Family would be assaulted by others and end up in destruction.
Chen Tianxian had no other options. If he died, based on the current situation, Chen Family would most likely be doomed. What was more, Lu Li was going to the nine universes sooner or later. By then, Chen Family was going to be a target as well and the likelihood of the family being wiped out would still be great.
“Planted agent?”
Lu Li was interested. With a planted agent, he could know everything about the nine universes. When he went to the nine universes, he could have the initiative.
After a while, Lu Li said, “This is interesting. But… how can I trust you? Don’t think I am a fool you can trick with a few words.”
Lu Li was clear, and he hid something between his words. Clearly, he wanted Chen Tianxian to become his soul slave or else he would not trust Chen Tianxian.
Chen Tianxian was struggling. His eyes flickered. He said, biting his teeth, “It is not possible for me to become your soul slave. If you don’t trust me, I don’t trust you. After all, when I am a soul slave, me and my family’s life and death will all be up to you.”
Lu Li smiled. “Once, I have many soul slaves. Later, I returned their freedom. They have become my most loyal subordinates. I granted them with glory and wealth. I am different from you. You have lived for a long time and you are all cold-blooded, also numb to feelings. I, on the other hand, value relationships. Why else would I have given up the Wicked Bead and risk my life for the sake of billions of civilians.”
Chen Tianxian forced a smile, “You only handed over the Wicked Bead because you know you can kill Yan Gu.”
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, “If you say so, I have no other choice. I can promise that as soon as you help me wipe out the Yan Family, I will return your freedom. Well… the best I can do is to take an almighty oath. I heard that this is the most solemn oath in the Divinity!”
“The almighty oath?”
Chen Tianxian’s eyebrows raised. He had heard of such a thing because Chen Family had a previous warrior in the Divinity, but he did not enjoy comfort there. That being said, Chen Tianxian did learn something of the Divinity.
It seemed that Lu Li was sincere.
Chen Tianxian made up his mind. “Are you going to let me do other things… apart from helping you wipe out the Yan Family? Will you do anything to the Chen Family?”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li laughed out and said with contempt, “Do you think I will care about the small Chen Family when I destroy the Yan Family? Also… what can you do me for other than being a spy? I don’t think your abilities will be of great assistance. You are just a fancy hitman.”
“You…”
Even though Chen Tianxian was being humiliated, he could not throw a tantrum. After a moment of thought, he said, “Fine, you take the almighty oath and I will serve you for a period of time.”
“Deal!”
Lu Li was delighted. With such a strong spy, he would enjoy a great advantage when he went and destroy the nine universes.
