âStop!â Long Tianming halted his underlings as they were about to charge forward. He landed in front of them.
Long Tianming lightly cupped his hands towards Nie Liâs group of three. âIt seems that there was a misunderstanding earlier. Please do forgive us! Since the three of you havenât suffered any injuries, how about we just end things here?â
Wu Yaziâs brows twitched at Long Tianmingâs words and snorted, âSo it looks like youâre the one in charge. When I arrived, one of your underlings told me to âget lostâ. Who the hell does he think he is?â
Long Tianming frowned for a moment, then said, âSo it seems that one of my subordinates has been rude to you! However, youâve also killed nine of my men. Werenât you being a little too heavy with your attacks?â
Long Tianming didnât want to provoke any trouble, but if Wu Yazi was going to be insistent, then he wouldnât back down. He was already angry over the fact that nine of his underlings had been killed.
Wu Yazi snorted at Long Tianmingâs words. âBeing too heavy? That was only light punishment! If we werenât that strong, would you be acting so polite right now? You wouldâve already killed the three of us! Those nine underlings of yours only got what was coming!â
Nie Li lightly smiled at that. Wu Yazi really had a fiery temper. The harder Long Tianming was on him, the more stubborn he got.
âYouâŠâ Long Tianmingâs breathing accelerated. However, he reconsidered and decided to endure it. He was searching for the entrance to the Void Illusionary Divine Palace right now. He didnât have time to argue with Wu Yazi. âFriend, it doesnât matter whoâs right or wrong. Your party hasnât suffered any losses, and I donât wish to pursue this matter any longer. Letâs leave it here. What do you say?â
Wu Yazi shrugged and said, âWhatever you want. Either way, this place is already mine. Iâll let it go, if you guys get lost!â
Long Tianmingâs lungs nearly exploded.
His fists were tightly clenched. A vein popped from his arm.
âYoung Master, weâll slaughter those arrogant fools!â
âHe really thinks that weâre afraid of him?â
Long Tianmingâs underlings had been riled up, and they rashly prepared to attack Wu Yazi again.
Wu Yazi arrogantly replied, âIâm the least afraid of fighting. If you guys want to bring it, then Iâll destroy every last one of you!â He was from the Raccoon Clan, with a Primordial Bloodline; he had the qualifications to be arrogant.
Long Tianming couldnât gauge Wu Yaziâs strength. Although he had a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit, and, therefore, had a certain level of confidence, he didnât dare to take the risk.
However, if he ran with his tail between his legs, then even he, Long Tianming, would find it hard to face his subordinates anymore.
Nie Li looked at Long Tianming and his group. âYeah, you guys get lost!â
Heâd been observing Long Tianming this entire time. Indeed, that guy had much more patience than the descendants of the other families. However, itâd also be hard for Long Tianming to agree to Wu Yaziâs overbearing request.
Long Tianmingâs face was ashen at Nie Liâs words. Since when could a Heavenly Fate Realm reprimand him like that?
Long Tianming deeply looked at Wu Yazi. Nie Li had absolute confidence in this guyâs cultivation; thatâs why Nie Li dared to be so arrogant. Wu Yazi was from the Raccoon clan, and he possessed many powerful secret techniques. If a fight broke out, even Long Tianming wasnât confident that heâd win.
Long Tianming coldly snorted as he turned around. âLetâs go!â
Long Tianmingâs Heavenly Axis Realm experts all turned red from the pent-up anger. Theyâd lose face if they were to leave like that! However, they didnât dare to disobey Long Tianmingâs orders. They felt wronged and shamed, but they still followed him.
Following Long Tianming, they turned and left, relocating to another spot a few miles away.
Nie Li stared at Long Tianmingâs back with a deep expression. He never expected Long Tianming to accept such an unreasonable demand. He really wasnât a simple guy! That man was definitely harder to deal with than Nie Li had imagined!
Wu Yazi spat towards Long Tianmingâs silhouette. âI never expected them to actually run away. Humans really are cowards!â
He turned around and saw Xiao Yu glaring at him with fury and Nie Li smiling, yet not smiling. He laughed awkwardly. âI didnât mean you guys!â
In terms of strength, Wu Yazi was much stronger than Long Tianming; however, he wasnât a deep schemer. Nie Li didnât consider Wu Yazi much of an opponent at all, especially since he knew that Wu Yazi would try to deal with them upon exiting the Void Illusionary Divine Palace. Long Tianming, on the other hand, gave Nie Li a strong sense of danger.
âAlright! This place is ours now!â Wu Yazi looked around him. âAre you sure the entrance is around here?â
âIâll look for it!â Nie Li said, âWe still have time!â
A spot far away, Long Tianming and his group of people.
One of Long Tianmingâs subordinates indignantly said, âYoung Master, I still cannot accept this. That demon was truly strong, and we might not be his match, but why did we have to run with our tails between our legs?â
Long Tianming coldly swept an eye over that subordinate. âLong Liu, do you have an opinion on my decision?â
âNo, I dare not.â Long Liu immediately trembled with fear.
âThat demon is from the Raccoon Clan. Iâm not sure if itâs the Nine Nether or the Divine Blooded Raccoon bloodline, but either way, if we were to engage in battle, the outcome is very unpredictable. Donât forget our goal in coming here!â A chill flashed through Long Tianmingâs eyes as he continued, âThat kid was an arrogant brat and stepped all over us, but there really isnât a need to fight him head-on. Heâs also searching for the entrance to the Void Illusionary Divine Palace. Itâs highly possible that heâs realised something, and thatâs why he snatched our position. If theyâve really found the entrance to the Void Illusionary Divine PalaceâŠanyways, just keep a close eye on them!â
The eyes of his subordinates lit up when they heard Long Tianmingâs words.
âThe Young Master is wise!â
Nie Li looked into the distance and saw Long Tianming and his group. Even though theyâd given up this location, theyâd only moved a few miles away, and were still watching from a distance. A thought flashed through Nie Liâs head, and the corner of his mouth turned upwards. Heâd already figured out Long Tianmingâs motives.
Long Tianming was quite a troublesome schemer.
It was a pity that heâd encountered Nie Li!
If Long Tianming walked off like this, then Nie Li wouldâve let it go. However, Long Tianming had stayed behind to plot against them then he would fall sooner or later.
Time passed, bit by bit. Nie Li continued studying the seven-coloured barrier that surrounded the Void Illusionary Divine Palace.
âHow is it?â Wu Yazi asked, looking a little anxious.
Nie Li smiled and said, âDonât worry. Iâve already found the entrance to the Thousand Illusionary Array!â The truth was, there were hundreds of entrances to the Thousand Illusionary Array. Entering was simple. The problem was whether or not they could leave the array afterwards.
Wu Yaziâs face filled with excitement when he heard Nie Liâs words. âCan we enter right now?â
âFollow me!â Nie Li said as he flew towards the Thousand Illusionary Array.
Outside, within Long Tianmingâs group.
âYoung Master, theyâve started to move. Theyâre preparing to enter!â Long Liu said with excitement.
A chilly ray flashed through Long Tianmingâs eyes. âEveryone, follow closely.â
