Chapter 1012 Preparation
He said calmly, "Humph, you're good at making excuses. But what you said does make sense."
Just when Luo Li thought he was about to give in, Yan Ye changed the subject, "But you can't leave so easily. I can let you go, but you have to leave something behind."
Luo Li's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "What does the True God mean?"
Yan Ye played with the Phantom Spirit Pearl in his hand and said nonchalantly, "I want you to leave behind a wisp of your soul. As long as you are obedient, I will return your soul to you in half a year. If you dare to play any tricks..."
His eyes suddenly turned fierce, "This spirit cannot be saved. You should know what will happen to you then."
Luo Li was shocked. Leaving her soul behind meant undoubtedly handing her life over to Yan Ye.
And who knows what Yan Ye will do with this soul?
But if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape unscathed today.
She gritted her teeth, a look of hesitation on her face, and after a moment she said, "Lord True God, leaving behind my soul is a matter of great importance. I hope you can allow me a moment to consider it."
Yan Ye frowned impatiently: "Hmph, I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't agree, you'll stay in this Ninth Heaven forever!"
After saying this, he leaned back on the throne, closed his eyes and rested, no longer looking at Luo Li.
Luo Li stood there, appearing calm on the surface but extremely anxious inside.
She knew that this was Yan Ye's test of her and also a dangerous game.
If she agrees, her life will be in Yan Ye's control; if she refuses, both Bulicheng and herself will face a huge crisis.
She looked around quietly, trying to find a chance to escape, but the three gods had already surrounded her, and the defensive array in the hall was activated to its strongest state. In front of her was a demon whose strength was unknown, so it was not easy to escape.
Unless the Tower of Gods is exposed...
But this is absolutely not possible!
As time passed, Luo Li gradually came up with an adventurous plan.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Master True God, I promise you."
She secretly curled her lips, but with some reluctance on her face, she pressed her fingers to her forehead. A wisp of light golden power was instantly drawn out, and her face turned pale.
Yan Ye's mood improved even more. "You are very good."
This wisp of soul in hand is enough to complete the transformation ritual.
However, the breath of this human race is so pleasant that he doesn't need to condense a new body. Once the demon seed is fully developed, he can directly embed it into the body of this human race.
Luo Li naturally didn't know what was going on in his mind. She probably never thought that Yan Ye would actually want to transform her into a demon.
At this moment, she directly extended her hand, "The True God won't use my soul to do anything else, right?"
Yan Ye picked up the soul and gently wrapped it around his fingertips, saying lightly, "I'm not that boring."
He waved to Luo Li, "Back off."
Luo Li immediately turned around and left the palace with the divine messenger who had been prepared long ago.
In the Tower of Gods, Momo said anxiously, "Ari, you're not really going to give your soul to him, are you?! How can that be possible!"
"Of course not," Luo Li said as they walked, "It's just a fake soul created using the power of chaos. After all, it's just a wisp of soul. I can still do it now. And Yan Ye, a demon, will definitely not be able to see it."
"Oh!" Momo and the others nodded, and then asked, "What about the Phantom Spirit Pearl?"
Luo Li curled her lips, "The contract between the Phantom Spirit Pearl and me is still there, I can take it back whenever I want."
"I see!"
When he was about to leave the Ninth Heaven, a person walked towards him.
The divine messenger immediately saluted: "Lord of the Underworld."
Di Xuanming didn't even look at him, "Yeah."
Luo Li's eyes moved, Ah Ming...
Emperor Xuanming was also surprised to meet her here, and there was also an imperceptible worry and nervousness, but the messenger of God was watching him right next to him. The two exchanged glances and passed each other.
After walking out of the Tianmen, Luo Li went straight back to Buli City.
Luo Yunqi and the others had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and even the disciples had gathered together, fearing that if there was no news from Luo Li, they would directly attack the Ninth Heaven.
Now that they saw Luo Li coming back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Yunqi stepped forward quickly, looking Luo Li up and down, his face full of concern: "Xiao Li, you're finally back. Are you okay? Did Yan Ye give you any trouble?"
Luo Li shook her head and said soothingly, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm fine. Yan Ye wanted to leave a trace of my soul to restrain me, but I used the power of chaos to create a fake soul and deceived him."
Mo Buqi, standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Where's the Phantom Spirit Pearl? It's still in Yan Ye's hands. He'll definitely use it to cause trouble."
Luo Li's lips curled up with a confident arc as she explained, "The Phantom Spirit Pearl and I have a contract. Even if he gets it, he won't be able to truly control it. I can recall it at any time. But now is not the time. Any rash action might alert Yan Ye and make him wary."
At this time, Shi Heng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Xiao Li, we will all listen to you. What should we do next?"
Luo Li looked at everyone with a determined gaze. "After Yan Ye obtains the divine soul, he will definitely prepare for his demon seed transformation ritual. We must take advantage of the moment when he lets his guard down while preparing for the ritual. However, we don't know where he will hand the Phantom Spirit Pearl to, so we need to investigate. In the meantime, everyone should strengthen their training and improve their strength, while also keeping a close eye on the movements of the Ninth Heaven."
The disciples responded one after another, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
Luo Li turned to Luo Yunqi again and said, "Uncle, please arrange for some people to monitor the area around Jiuchongtian and report back immediately if there is any news about Yan Ye."
Luo Yunqi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll do it right away."
After arranging the surveillance, Luo Li returned to her room, intending to calm down and sort out the current situation.
As soon as she sat down, Momo from the Tower of Gods reappeared, still looking a bit worried: "Ali, although the Phantom Spirit Pearl is under contract and you don't have to worry, but Yan Ye is cunning and powerful. If he finds out that the spirit is fake in advance, we will be in trouble."
Luo Li rubbed his brows and said after a moment of contemplation, "So we must speed up our actions and not give him too much time to verify the authenticity of the soul. I plan to retreat for a few days to better integrate the power of chaos with my own spiritual power and strive to reach a higher level of strength."
Momo asked hesitantly, "What about investigating the location of the Yanye Demon Seed Transformation Ceremony? Does that rely entirely on Luo Yunqi and the others?"
Luo Li shook her head. "Of course not. Before I go into seclusion, I will imprint my perception mark on some flying monsters and have them hover around the Nine Heavens and various possible secret places. Once they discover Yan Ye's unusual behavior, these monsters will be able to pass the information to me immediately."
After saying that, Luo Li began to prepare for her retreat.
