Chapter 504 - Lilim's Cheats

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Tong: "I killed Sun Fang and another intruder. We've run into Lilim."

Tong: "I'm negotiating with Lilim at the moment. Things aren't in our favor."

While Tong was tricking Lilim into becoming his wife, he reported the deal to others, using his free hands, typing behind his back. He did not forget to include the 10-year time that Tong would keep Lilim occupied.

Zhuge Liang: "Are you surrendering the throne to the goddess?"

Tong: "I'm trying my best not to, but I don't have a choice. Lu Bu is tricked into becoming her vessel, so he can't fight her. I'm also surrounded by two other 8-wing angels, so I'm buying time for the rest of us to catch up with their cultivation."

Tong: "I told her to…"

Tong explained what his true goal behind the conditions. At glance, it sounded like Tong was throwing away his throne for the sake of bedding the goddess. However, Tong tricked Lilim into giving up her system power and trapped her by his side for at least 10 years.

By sacrificing his future, Tong gave Li Feihong, Friday, Medusa, and other cultivators 10 years to grow stronger, hoping that they could surpass Lilim's current strength.

Although Tong came up with this plan, he had expected that Lilim would be aware of the ploy, and she would mark all cultivators as threats. Once the time was up, Lilim might risk breaking her oath and kill all talented cultivators to suppress Tong's hidden forces.

But had Lilim violated her oath, a karma tribulation would befall upon her, and she might die or become crippled, which benefitted Tong anyway.

Furthermore, Tong had rooms to avoid the submission. As long as he could exploit the agreement and make Lilim fail to satisfy one of the conditions, Tong would win big.

Diaochan: "I got your message. I'll rush my cultivation to 10 wings ASAP. I have to travel around the world and solve my mother's karma knots, though."

Li Feihong: "That's a tall call, Tong. I'm not a combatant! You're overestimating my abilities. I'm only a trashy 7-wing angel. (T_T)"

Dong Bai: "If that is called trashy, the rest of us are insects, then? I cultivated longer than you, but I only have 6 wings, mind you!"

Dong Bai: "Anyway, I got the hint. Who are those two 8-wing angels?"

Tong: "Guan Yu and Zuo Ci."

Li Feihong: "Welp, shit! I'm glad I haven't killed Liu Bei yet. I have Liu Bei and Ma Chao in my dimension. You can use them to bargain with Guan Yu, Tong."

Tong: "Noted. Everyone, be ready for changes. I don't know what Lilim will do to all of you and the clan after this."

*VHOOM*

After completing the oaths, Lilim opened a red gate, "Get in, both of you."

Lu Bu snorted as he planned to fly away. However, his body moved against his will and followed after Lilim into the portal.

Lu Bu gazed around himself. He found that karma chains bound him and Lilim was holding another end of the chains.

"Damn you! Let me go!"

Lilim snickered, "You're now my slave, bitch. Follow me obediently, or I'll destroy you!"

"Fool! I'm Zhang Tong's subordinate! You can't kill me!"

"Ha! Think again! You are now my slave, not Zhang Tong's bitch!"

Lilim injected some of her power into the chains and electrocuted Lu Bu. The latter almost screamed in pain as his body was burning from the inside.

After five minutes of torturing, Lilim stopped and allowed Lu Bu to recover from his external wounds.

"Get the fuck in, bitches."

Lu Bu bit his lower lip and followed Lilim into the red gate.

As for Tong, he still could control over his body as Lilim had not completed all 4 conditions that he had demanded from Lilim. As such, Tong was not yet her subordinate.

Still, he entered the portal anyway as he did not want to risk fighting against Lilim, Zuo Ci, and Guan Yu when his soul injuries had not been completely cured. For now, he played along with this group as he planned to contain their movements.

After the group had entered the red portal, they found themselves on top of a mountain plain.

Tong looked at the sky by reflex as he found the atmosphere and the air unusual.

"This place is not the world."

Lilim snorted, "Correct. This is Li Feihong's skill, [Private World]."

"So, you can use anyone's system skill?"

"That's a given. I'm the administrator, so I can use pretty much all the skills that all reincarnators have, including yours, Dong Zhuo."

"Ah. So that movement from before was my skill? I can't react to that footwork at all."

"…"

Lilim did not answer, but Tong figured that Lilim might have activated his [Time Stop] skill to appear in front of himself earlier and forced him into submission.

Tong sighed as he thought about the past. Before Lilith left this dimension, she persuaded him to become her subordinate as well.

'I'm glad I didn't accept her invitation back then. Or else, I would have been tricked into making a vow without realizing the consequence.'

Both Lilith and Lilim could not be trusted, but Tong planned to exploit Lilim as best as he could.

While Tong was scheming in his mind, Guan Yu walked behind Tong, keeping him in check.

Although this god of loyalty did not comment on anything as they proceeded forward, his mind was not as calm as his expression.

Guan Yu wanted to return to Liu Bei's side, but he could not find Liu Bei after he had activated his god eyes around the country. Unbeknownst to Guan Yu, he could not peek into Li Feihong's dimension, which was hidden beyond this universe.

Just like the current Lilim's dimension, Tong couldn't see anyone after he had peeked outside with his god eyes. This was why Tong noticed that this was not the same world.

"Dong Zhuo. Where is my elder brother?"

Finally, Guan Yu lost his patience and asked Tong.

"My current name is Zhang Tong. Stop calling me as Dong Zhuo, please."

"… Fine. Where is my brother?"

Tong shrugged, "I have no idea."

"Know your place, prisoner! Confess, or I'll cripple your cultivation!"

"Ahaha! You can't, buddy. Lilim made an oath that she and her subordinates can't harm me in any way. If you do, Lilim will face a karma tribulation."

Hearing the mockery, Lilim turned around and glared at Guan Yu, "Leave him alone. If I die by the tribulation, you will die first. Don't forget that you can be injured or die in my place if anything happens to me."

Guan Yu clicked his tongue as he glanced at Tong with resentment, "If I find out that my brother dies, I don't mind dying, but I'll make sure that you'll suffer the same death!"

Tong raised his hands and rolled his eyes, "Stop with the cliché. He's fine."

Lilim snickered and blurted a secret, "Both Liu Beis is still alive and kicking. You don't have to worry about them."

"Both?" Tong and Guan Yu frowned.

Something was not right. Tong knew that Liu Bei was captured, but he hadn't heard about two Liu Beis.

Zuo Ci, who had been quieted for all this time, interjected, "You're up for some surprise if you know about Li Feihong's alternate form. He's in a similar position like you, Zhang Tong."

"Is he someone from this timeline?"

"You can say that. Now, you have all the hints. You should understand who Li Feihong was."

"…"

From the hints, Tong could guess that Li Feihong might have been once born as Liu Bei. Still, it was a surprising discovery.

"Wow, really? I had that son of a bitch as my subordinate after all this time. I should have killed that fool a long time ago."

Lu Bu was shocked as well. He recalled the day that Liu Bei coaxed Cao Cao into executing him after the Battle at Xiapi in the other timeline, and he wanted to kill Liu Bei to pay back for the deed. Still, as he was aware that it was someone else's memory, Lu Bu treated this event as a joke.

Feeling frisky about the discovery, Lu Bu opened his clan menu and planned to communicate with Li Feihong in the clan chat, hoping to bully this coward.

But Lilim noticed that, "Oh, I forgot about the clan chat. I'm sorry. From now on, you can't use that anymore."

Both Tong and Lu Bu widened their eyes as their clan chat option in the system menu disappeared. This was their lifeline and the only way for them to communicate with others.

"Oi. Won't my clan disband itself after I left? Isn't this violating your oath?"

Lilim sneered, "It did since I "harassed" you. Well, as long as your family and your subordinates are unharmed, or my action isn't proved to be inconvenient toward your family or your subordinates, it doesn't count as a breach of oath."

Tong frowned. Lilim's action just now clearly breached the oath since she cut off Tong's communication method to his family members and his men. The agreement was that Lilim could not trouble Tong, but cutting off the communication system counted as one.

*BANG*

*BANG*

Two lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and struck at Lilim twice. Two of her wings cracked as she suffered a direct punishment from breaking her oath.

"Whoops. I guess that depriving you of clan chat counts as troubling you. Well, I don't mind."

*BANG*

*BANG*

The same two lightning bolts appeared from Lilim's damaged wings and struck Lu Bu and Guan Yu instead. Both men vomited blood and collapsed on the ground, falling unconscious.

As for Lilim's previous injuries, they were gone.

Lilim sneered at them before she coyly smiled at Tong, "As you can see, they will become scapegoats if I violate a couple of oaths. I can kill you or your family at any time that I want as long as I have these fools as my goons. Now, follow me to my room, so we can get these 10 years of fucking done ASAP! Afterward, I'll give you back the clan chat, and all the agreement will be completed!"

Tong's face was full of sweat drops after he realized that Lilim could cheat the tribulation. Now, he could only rely on his third leg to tame this demon goddess.

'Never put a D in crazy… Now, I'm about to put one in a lunatic. Buddha, Allah, Jesus, wish me luck!'
