Chapter 7060 The Oriole Lies in Wait

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

All this while, Long Can and the traitors of the Jiuli race had been wrestling over control of the Jiuli Tower against Jiang Li and the others.

Long Can also possessed the purest bloodline of the Jiuli race, as well as the Brahma lines faith energy. Adding on the support of the traitors, the plan to seize the tower was entirely realistic, and indeed not far from becoming reality. Jiang Li and the others were resisting with all their might, but their expressions were growing more and more gloomy. They could feel their control over the Jiuli Tower weakening. On the other hand, Long Cans grasp over it was only growing. There was nothing they could do.

Now they truly regretted everything. They had never expected one foolish choice to bring the Jiuli Divine Realm to destruction. Even the Heavenly Devil Zither was completely ignoring the realm lord and was directly speaking of collaboration with Long Can. Was that not humiliating?

Long Can narrowed her eyes at Cao Yuyang. She frostily asked, What do you mean?

The mixed voice rang out. Other than the one tenth of the Jiuli Towers source energy that you promised, I also want the lives of everyone from the Jiuli race, as well as half the Jiuli Divine Realms karmic luck..

Long Cans expression instantly sank when she heard this demand. Youve got a big appetite. Arent you afraid of choking on such a big piece of meat?

She was enraged. The Jiuli race was also an important part of Lord Brahmas plans. It was also the reason Lord Brahma went to such lengths to nurture her; it was all in hopes of her one day taking control of the Jiuli Tower and the Jiuli race.

In truth, her attack on the Jiuli Divine Realm was not in accordance with Lord Brahmas orders, nor did she have the approval of the other divine commanders. Even so, she had mobilized eight hundred thousand Divine Sovereigns. These eight hundred thousand Divine Sovereigns were all blessed by faith energy. Although this blessing was not on par with the blessing of the primal chaos divine items, it still allowed them to transcend the bindings of the old eras laws and merge with a fraction of the new eras laws.

They were akin to Forerunnersthey would never manage to become triple manifestation Divine Sovereigns, but they would never have been capable of that anyway, so there was no loss on their part. This would simply allow them to have a period of dominance before the new eras heavenly geniuses fully grew up.

These eight hundred thousand Divine Sovereigns were outside maintaining the formation. They were locking down the entire Jiuli Divine Realm.

Long Can had made thorough preparations this time. She had even called over the three sects as reinforcements. But now, the sinister Heavenly Devil Zither was demanding an even bigger portion of the profits, right at this critical juncture! Long Can had quite the temper, and she was also the only triple manifestation Divine Sovereign among the eight divine commanders. In fact, in her view, as long as Lord Brahma did not come out of seclusion, she likely stood at the very pinnacle of this world. And the Heavenly Devil Zither dared to try and extort her at such a time? How could she not be enraged?

The Heavenly Devil Zither sneered. I am not that gutless fool Cao Yuyang. I will not accept you taking all the meat and leaving us with just some leftover soup. The Jiuli race is one of the human races strongest bloodlines, and their blood soul energy is of great value to me. Although I know that Lord Brahma wants to use you to turn the Jiuli race into one of his followers, it just so happens that I also need them to reform my body!

The Jiuli races experts were all outraged to hear them arguing like this. One side considered them a bunch of sheep to be herded where their shepherd chose, and the other side thought of them as nothing more than lambs for slaughter!

Long Can darkly asked, And if I dont agree?

Cao Yuyang snorted and waved his hand. A single blood-colored thread pierced through space and through the head of one of the traitors of the Jiuli race. Even the Jiuli Towers protection did not save him. When the thread pierced him, his whole body instantly dried up into a desiccated corpse.

You bi

I am not bargaining with you! snapped Cao Yuyang. I am telling you what will happen! If you vainly think you can use the eight hundred thousand experts outside to mobilize the Brahma Divine Diagram against me, then the first thing I will do is kill your helpers. Without them, you will not be able to take control over the Jiuli Tower, and you will lose everything. Oh, and do I have to remind you? This mission was not carried out with Lord Brahmas permission. I wonder whether Lord Brahma will forgive you if you fail again!

Long Cans killing intent exploded. You dare to threaten me?!

But inside, she was panicking. She knew that the Zither Sect definitely had spies among her subordinates, or they wouldnt have such precise information. Furthermore, just as the Heavenly Devil Zither said, she really did have no other choice. She had to succeed. If she failed, it would mean her doom. Lord Brahma was only willing to tolerate her foolishness and brashness because she was an important chess piece to him. If she failed this time, she would lose all value, and would definitely be mercilessly executed.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, if she lost all the Jiuli races experts, that would be a huge loss to Lord Brahma, and she would have to face his wrath. On the other hand, if she did not agree, Cao Yuyang would still slaughter everyone in the Jiuli Divine Realm. Then she wouldnt have the Jiuli Tower either.

Long Can had not expected her retribution to come so quickly. She had agreed to join forces with Jiang Li only to scheme against him, but now she was being schemed against by the Heavenly Devil Zither in a similar fashion. And if she were to pick the lesser of two evils, she could only agree to the Heavenly Devil Zithers demands.

Killing intent raged inside of her, but she had nowhere to unleash it. Even though her triple manifestation Divine Sovereign cultivation allowed her to dominate the world for the time being, she could not suppress the Jiuli Tower on her own. Perhaps she would be able to rely on her power to beat the Heavenly Devil Zither, but so what? That wouldnt gain her anything. If she lost the Jiuli Tower, then even if she was a triple manifestation Divine Sovereign, Lord Brahma would not spare her.

Long Can was silent, but everyone could see that she would acquiesce.

The Jiuli races experts hearts sank. They were holding on to some hope that something would happen to save them, but nothing had changed. As they despaired, their hatred towards Jiang Li only grew. He was the one who had dragged the Jiuli Divine Realm to the abyss. Whether it was against Long Chen, Long Can, or the Heavenly Devil Zither, Jiang Lis intelligence had proven entirely worthless. How did someone so stupid think he could scheme against these people?

Just then, Long Chens impertinent voice rang out. Sorry, do you mind if I interject? Ignoring me like this while you talk about your own deals is a bit rude, dont you think?

For some reason, the Jiuli races experts suddenly felt a glimmer of hope when Long Chen spoke up.

They looked over to see Long Chen had once more sat down on his rocking chair. He was snacking on sunflower seeds as he watched the show. It was as if this tense situation had nothing to do with him. When they looked at him more closely, they saw the golden flower in his hand, and their jaws instantly dropped.

p>Great Sun Sunflower? And it's mutated

A number of people who had dealings with medicinal herbs were capable of recognizing that as a legendary divine medicine. Moreover, it was mutated, which meant its value had increased tremendously. Yet Long Chen was eating the seeds as a snack!

The Brahma lines experts were all green with envy when they saw this. Any alchemist who saw someone blaspheming a divine medicine like this would be outraged.

Brat, you dont even recognize a heavenly treasure when it's right in your hand! You arent qualified to speak here! roared Cao Yuyang. Even the Heavenly Devil Zither was envious of his treasures. Heavenly Devil's Bloodthirst, Soul-Destroying Devil Music!

The Heavenly Devil Zithers seven strings vibrated, and seven ripples spread at the same time, instantly filling the entire Jiuli Divine Realm.
