Chapter 926: Plea

“Buzzing!”

Lu Li dashed out from the Wicked Bead. He grabbed the shield that was the Feather Race’s Originator Artifact and went back into the Wicked Bead.

The Originator Artifact was still intact, and its defense was strong. Given the chance to take the Originator Artifact, Lu Li would not turn away. Then, he flew the Wicked Bead around, piercing through the crowds of Feather Race warriors and the Dragon Demon started a slaughtering mission as well.

Lu Li believed that he had broken through one more of Ye Nishang’s plan. Those warriors could no longer pose any threat to Lu Li. Once they were dealt with, Lu Zhengyang and the others would be safe.

“Hoot, hoot~”

The Dragon Demon screamed and bellowed. Its voice alone had knocked out many warriors nearby. The Dragon Demon rushed on. Anyone that came in contact with the Dragon Demon would be pounded. The Dragon Demon did not even have to deliberately take any actions. The Dragon Demon could kill many Feather Race warriors just by moving around.

Too many Feather Race warriors were crowded together.

“Woo, woo~”

From the Mountain of Wings came a deep and low bugle call, which made the warriors ravished with joy. They escaped to all directions. That call was military orders for retreat. The warriors were even at liberty to run to anywhere at the Feather Land of the West.

Lu Li stopped the Wicked Bead when the Feather Land of the West warriors started to run. To hunt down those low-level warriors was now pointless. His mission here was to save Lu Zhengyang and the others. As for the Feather Land of the West, once the powers were eliminated, this land would be at his fingertips.

The Dragon Demon tried to chase after more but was stopped by Lu Li. Those millions of warriors could leave soon. After all, those warriors were at least at the Fate Wheel Realm or the Eternal Realm. Anyone that could move about left within the time for half an incense stick to burn. Some Earth Immortal Realm and Human Sovereign Realm warriors had run away as well. As of now, those Earth Immortal Realm and Human Sovereign Realm warriors would not make many contributions. They would only send themselves to doom.

“Hoot, hoot~”

The Dragon Demon moved about and killed all the Feather Race warriors that were trapped by its air glow. Lu Li stopped the Wicked Bead in the air and checked the surroundings with psychic power.

“Almost all of the warriors are gone. Only Ye Nishang and two Earth Immortal Realm patriarchs have stayed.”

Lu Li nodded. Ye Nishang was a qualified leader. She knew that the other warriors would face nothing but death by staying. They might as well leave to save hope for the Feather Race.

When the Dragon Demon killed all the trapped warriors, Lu Li used psychic power to check Lu Zhengyang and the others. He dashed out from the Wicked Bead but did not order the Dragon Demon to smash the force field.

That was because Ye Nishang was still standing on the Mountain of Wings.

Lu Zhengyang being saved would have meant the end of this battle. Ye Nishang would try to stop Lu Li or else she wouldn’t still be here. To save Lu Zhengyang and the others, Lu Li must try to defeat or kill Ye Nishang.

“Dragon Demon, up!”

Lu Li waved his hand and leaped forward. The Dragon Demon galloped, flapping its wings. Leveraging the force coming from its large body, the Dragon Demon leaped forth. It kicked back on the rocks on the mountain and hopped to the top, following Lu Li.

Lu Li stood on Dragon Demon’s head and gazed at Ye Nishang below the statue of God of Wings with a distance of two miles between them. Lu Li had mixed feelings when he saw her delicate figure and her calm face.

He and Ye Luo were friends and were related. This Ye Nishang in front of him was Ye Luo’s cousin. If they were not enemies, Lu Li would treat her as his own sister, like how he treated Ye Yu.

Unfortunately, they were enemies. Ye Nishang was not here as Ye Luo’s cousin, but the leader of the Feather Race. The fight between the two races could not be judged by calling either side right or wrong, justified or vicious.

At the depths of his heart, Lu Li did not loath Ye Nishang. On the contrary, he admired her. Not many in Heaven Reverse Universe could create such troubles for him. Not many could be qualified as his opponents, not to mention a young girl.

The massive Feather Race army with tens of millions of warriors was led by a delicate princess. Standing in front of Lu Li was not some senior warrior nor a prince.

This princess was somehow similar to Ji Mengtian. However, Ye Nishang had more integrity. She made open plans and set difficulties for Lu Li to get over with. There was nothing to be said against this method when two armies were in the throes of battle. If Lu Li had died because of the Blood Formation or the Originator Artifact, he would not blame everything and everyone but himself.

Of course…

All in all, Lu Li was not entirely hostile to Ye Nishang because they were two kindred souls. This situation right now was comparable to the time when he faced the Asmodian Lord by himself.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Ye Nishang, don’t resist anymore. Surrender to me and I promise that I will not murder the Feather Race people for anything. I will make sure that you will still be the master of the Feather Race, and you will have the command. How about that?”

Lu Li’s conditions were very favorable. If she were patriarchs of the Asmodians, they might have surrendered.

Ye Nishang put on a sad smile. She cast a glance to the Valley of Feather. She shook her head and said, “Grand Master Lu, your promise means nothing. You will not kill our people, but the other humans will. You can enforce a command against such behavior within a time frame but what about 10 years from now or one hundred years from now? How about ten thousand years from now when you pass away? We are at your mercy. The Feather Race will come to an end eventually. The master of the Feather Race? What is the point of being a master of a race that has surrendered?”

Lu Li was convinced by Ye Nishang. After several years when this place was no longer his focus, the elders of the Demon-slaying Hall would point their sabers at the Feather Race. They would not wait until the passing of Lu Li. They would at least kill almost all the warriors of the Feather Race so as to secure complete control.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and stated, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. You have done enough for the Feather Race. If it were not for you, the Feather Race would have been over. Do not forget that you have human blood in your body. If you want to, I can bring you back to the Ye Family. I promise you that the Ye Family will treat you as their own. Don’t you want to bring the ashes of your mother back? Don’t you want to meet your grandpa and grandma?”

“What?”

The two patriarchs of the Feather Race were worried. Lu Li had played a nice trick to sow discord in her. Ye Nishang loved and respected her mother the most. If Ye Nishang defected then the Feather Race would not survive.

Ye Nishang became absent-minded because of Lu Li’s words. Her eyes were misty. She was about to burst into tears.

Lu Li had made a touching point. Her mother’s most cherished wish was to return to the Ye Family, to her homeland. Even just being buried at the City of Universe would be of consolation.

“Plop!”

Ye Nishang suddenly dropped to her knees. She kowtowed to Lu Li three times. The two Feather Race patriarchs were scared. They thought Ye Nishang was going to surrender.

However, Lu Li sighed. He saw begging in Ye Nishang’s eyes, not surrender—but pleading.

Sure enough…

Ye Nishang said seriously, “Grand Master Lu, my mother’s tomb is at the Fallen Feather Mountain to the east. If I lose, please bring my mother’s tomb back to the Ye Family. Tell them that I have not forgotten about the Ye Family’s blood in my body. However… someone has to represent the Feather Race. My father has passed away and my brothers are incapable. I have no other choice but to sacrifice my trivial life. I will not allow the Feather Race to be belittled by the world!”
