Chapter 657: No Escape Route!
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hand over the king’s corpse and submit to me. I can spare your life.”
The Blood King, who was blocking his escape route, persuaded him to surrender.
The surrounding 16 Earth Immortals and Dao Master Vast Sea, who had an additional wound on his body and had flown back, firmly surrounded Jiang Li.
As long as he made any abnormal movements, he would be attacked.
With a Heaven-rank artifact by his side and being surrounded like this, it was really a terrible situation.
Jiang Li shook his head and laughed.
Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the people of the world.
He had just broken through to the Soul Formation realm and obtained strength that was close to the peak of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region. It indeed made his actions more reckless.
It turned out that the anger, contempt, and madness displayed by the Blood King and Dao Master Vast Sea were all fake.
It was only to lower his guard and take advantage of the opportunity to cover Jiang Li with the Blood Sea to bring him and the Dragon Python out of the range of the Back Yin Mountain.
Then, there was the current siege.
Because in the domain of the Back Yin Mountain, they were unable to defeat Jiang Li no matter what.
Even if he used the City God’s Token to temporarily let Dao Master Vast Sea enter the range of the Back Yin Mountain,
it could only last for two to four hours.
The last time they met, Jiang Li only had the strength of an ordinary Earth Immortal, so he did not reveal his strength immediately.
However, the Blood King also knew that he still had a terrifying halberd that he had not used.
It was naturally best if he could defeat Jiang Li and capture him and the Dragon Python in such a short period of time.
However, if that did not work, they would try their best to drag him out of the strange mountain.
That was why he used the Blood Sea to pull him out of the Back Yin Mountain.
It had to be said that their idea was very successful.
Even the current him would find it difficult to face Dao Master Vast Sea and the 16 Earth Immortals.
Not to mention that there was also a Heaven-rank artifact, the City God’s Hall.
Although they could not kill him, they could still put him in danger.
However, Jiang Li did not look nervous at all.
Even if he was facing a former high-grade Divine Judgment leader, 16 Earth Immortals, and a Heaven-rank artifact controlled by the Blood King.
A smile gradually hung on Jiang Li’s face as he raised the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd and pointed it at the Blood King.
“You’re right.”
“Then, since the Blood King Palace has offended the people, you should be punished for starting the war in the Eastern Region and causing chaos to all living beings!”
“You’re already surrounded! There’s no way out behind you!”
“Surrender now!”
City Lord Jiang returned their words as usual.
He flipped his hand and took out a Cloud Shell Bead, crushing it in his hand.
It was just like the day the Blood King Palace was destroyed. The exact same scene appeared again.
As the spiral cloud appeared, the first thing to appear was the otherworldly figure of Concubine Yun.
She saw the familiar palace at a glance.
Then, the three divine pillars, the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment forces, and hundreds of Earth Immortals crossed space to come here.
With this, the number of people and the situation instantly reversed.
Behind the City God’s Hall was the Back Yin Mountain, and in the front was the top combat strength of the Divine Judgment Hall.
Now, they were surrounded.
Moreover, just as Jiang Li had said, they had no way out!
This Cloud Shell Bead came from his childhood sweetheart, Shenshan Qiuhua.
As long as Jiang Li spoke, that junior sister who was actually a descendant of Nüwa would agree to anything.
Jiang Li had long known that the experts of the Divine Judgment Hall were hiding nearby and waiting.
They were waiting for the remaining forces of the Blood King Palace.
As long as he used the Cloud Shell Bead to receive them, the Divine Judgment Hall’s reinforcements would instantly arrive.
The war that had not ended last time would continue today.
On the Netherworld Illusion where the Back Yin Mountain was located, the battle erupted again.
This time, without the help of the experts in Tragic Death City, the remaining cultivators of the Blood King Palace fell into an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
After the reinforcements appeared, they immediately gave up on killing Jiang Li and hid in the City God’s Hall as quickly as possible.
There were also a few Earth Immortals who were originally slower behind Jiang Li and were unable to escape back to the temple.
They were even directly stopped by the Divine Judgment Hall experts. Not long after, they were directly blasted apart, turning into white light that was pulled back by Tragic Death City. The outcome was naturally self-evident.
At this moment, the Divine Judgment Hall experts who passed through the spiral cloud discovered Jiang Li.
“Isn’t this the Fengdu City Lord? Why is he here?”
“He disappeared for no reason previously. So he came here using an unknown method!”
“Daoist Nine Nether, I think you need to give us an explanation!”
“You clearly have the ability to directly cross the void! Why did you lie to us?”
The masked man who suddenly summoned the clouds and guided them over was clearly the Fengdu City Lord.
This City Lord had clearly lied to them at the beginning. He clearly had the ability to come here, but he did not say it.
During this period of time, they had gathered more than 100 million people.
The process consumed countless spirit stones and medicinal pills. The losses were enough to make several medium-sized Divine Judgment factions go bankrupt.
This caused them to instantly be displeased and wary of Jiang Li.
It was just that they were currently dealing with the Blood King Palace and Jiang Li was also attacking the City God’s Hall. He could be considered to be on their side.
They would not fight among themselves at this time.
Only Concubine Yun from the Cloud Manor’s eyes flickered with a brilliant light when she looked at Jiang Li.
It was not the light of a spell, but her eyes reflecting the merit spiritual light of the Human Emperor’s successor.
How could Concubine Yun not recognize Jiang Li?
After all, the merit spiritual light was so exaggerated that it surpassed her.
In the cultivation world of the Eastern Region, she had never seen a second person like this.
However, this Cloud Shell Bead should have come from the descendant of Nüwa.
In that case, that young successor of Nüwa indeed had a deep relationship with him.
After Concubine Yun’s thoughts flashed rapidly, her figure suddenly transformed into clouds and floated to Jiang Li’s side.
The two Rainbow Cloud Servants beside her took two steps forward and spoke.
“The Human Emperor’s successor answered the Cloud Manor’s request. That’s why he did not reveal the ability to reach this Netherworld in order to lure the snake out of its hole.”
“The Human Emperor’s successor of Fengdu City is a friend of the Cloud Manor. Don’t be rude!”
When the other cultivators heard this, their expressions softened.
So it was the plan of the three divine pillars. No wonder Fengdu Ghost City was so cooperative.
Gathering so many people consumed a lot of energy.
However, only this could make the Blood King Palace believe that they could not directly cross the void.
Only then would the cautious Blood King appear.
In the end, the plan to lure the snake out of its hole succeeded.
It could only be said that she was indeed Concubine Yun of the Cloud Manor.
“Wait, the successor of the Human Emperor? Is it that person?”
The surrounding experts looked at Jiang Li again.
Although his mask and clothes had changed, his figure was indeed extremely similar.
There was also the signature halberd!
They did not know how he left the city.
However, it was indeed the successor of the Human Emperor who had helped greatly in Tragic Death City!
