Lu Li's eyebrows jumped.
But he did not rush to ask further, but showed a meaningful smile, "Senior, don't be too sure about some things. Since you have never fought, how do you know whether you can win or not?"
"When those people made the plan, maybe they didn't think that you would fail, right?"
Lu Li counted in detail: "Let's not mention the thousands of heavenly demon guards and the master of the demon country for the moment. The rebellion of you and Zhao Tianci is probably a back-up plan prepared by those people considering that the ambush in the canyon may fail. They will send you here. , must have the idea of killing him with one strike."
"But now, you still failed."
There was no sarcasm in these words. Lu Li seemed to be explaining a common fact, so lightly revealing the battle in the canyon where thousands of lives were buried, and the Yanzhou sniper attack that killed two grandmasters. kill.
Although Zhu Xiao was not sure whether Zhao Tianci was really dead, even so, he knew that if Lu Li could stand here unharmed, one of Zhao Tianci and the Bazhou Grandmaster must be dead.
Maybe both of them died.
No matter who died, they still failed to assassinate King Yan despite paying such a high price. This meant that their plan failed completely, and the person behind it all had no ability to influence the situation.
Zhu Xiao quickly figured this out, but he still hesitated, shook his head and said, "You don't understand how scary they are."
"Young people like you have no idea how many secrets this world hides."
"It's not that I can't say it, but... I dare not say it."
Zhu Xiao stared at Lu Li and said, "If you want to know which families in Yanzhou participated in this assassination, I can tell you. But if you still want to know more..."
"senior."
Lu Li interrupted Zhu Xiao and did not let him continue, "There are some things that you still need to think about on your own. I don't want to tell you those big principles, but I just want to ask you, are those people really worthy of your life? Protect their secrets?"
"All benefits are fake, your life is your own."
Lu Li said calmly: "Senior, if you die trying to keep their secrets, do you think those people will avenge you?"
"In their eyes, senior is just an ordinary little character. They sent you to assassinate King Yan, and they only treated you as cannon fodder. No matter whether the assassination operation is successful or not, senior's end will be death."
"Am I right?" Lu Li grinned, his smile looking very harmless.
Zhu Xiao was silent again.
It wasn't that Lu Li was talking nonsense, but...everything he said was true.
He was indeed a pawn abandoned as cannon fodder.
Compared with Zhao Tianci, his chess piece is of higher value and he knows more things. But... chess pieces are chess pieces, and as long as the person making the layout needs them, the chess pieces are at risk of being sacrificed at any time.
Now that he has fallen into this situation, it has to be said that Zhu Xiao has already thought about a similar scene.
But in those scenes, Lu Li was not present.
He couldn't help but raise his head and said, "You are indeed the variable that those people didn't calculate."
"If it weren't for you, King Yan would have been killed by the Demon Guards in the canyon."
"In the end, you let King Yan live in Yanzhou, so I had to take action personally..."
Zhu Xiao said indifferently: "Those people must have never dreamed that a young man in the immortal realm would go on a rampage and destroy their entire situation."
"I advise you to escape from the ancient times now, as far away as possible, and never come back again. Otherwise, those people will never let you go. Even if you are a true genius, you are not worth mentioning in their eyes. !”
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Xiao's voice changed its tone. It was unclear whether he was threatening Lu Li or warning himself.
His lips trembled and turned a greenish color. That desperate expression should not have appeared on a grandmaster's face.
However, when Zhu Xiao mentioned 'those people', he even had an uncontrollable fear emerging from the bottom of his heart.
After saying these words in a vented manner, Zhu Xiao suddenly laughed at himself, lowered his head and said, "Why am I telling you this?"
"To save myself."
Lu Li took advantage of the situation and said: "No one wants to die, and the same goes for seniors. Even if you are a chess piece, you have your own ideas. Why should you let them control you?"
"No matter who those people are, since they still need to set up in the Zhenwu Domain and use your hands to complete some things, it means that they cannot come in their true form for the time being."
"Even if it's a heavenly being, as long as he can't return in his true form, what's so scary?"
Hearing Lu Li's words, Zhu Xiao's body trembled and he smiled bitterly: "You don't understand at all..."
"I don't understand." Lu Li said solemnly: "I don't understand why you want to let them control you."
"There are only two ways in front of you now. Tell me everything I want to know and seek the protection of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom. In this way, even if you lose the power you used to have, you can at least save one life. .”
"Second, continue to fight for their secrets to the end. I will change someone else to come in and torture you until you want to say it but ask me to listen."
Lu Li raised two fingers and stared at Zhu Xiao silently.
Zhu Xiao said nothing, but after a long time he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Zhao Tianci should be dead, right?"
"good."
Lu Li did not continue to pretend, and said calmly: "Zhao Tianci is dead, his head was shattered by a punch."
"Sure enough." Zhu Xiao didn't look surprised. After experiencing this double physical and psychological torture, he figured out a lot of things and said calmly: "Zhao Tianci is dead, so I will I have become the last survivor. No matter what you want to know, I am the only channel left."
"But I still have something unclear."
Zhu Xiao looked at Lu Li: "How on earth did you guess that in addition to the Jitian Demon Kingdom, there are other people behind me who are instigating this?"
"It's simple, because of profit."
Lu Li said: "The benefits that the Jitian Demon Kingdom can give you may not be the same as those of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the Jitian Demonic Kingdom has given you more benefits, which is worthy of your betrayal and assassination by the Tiantian Holy Kingdom." King Yan, but that’s not worth your lives.”
"Everyone has his own judgment on interests, but the most important thing is his own life."
Lu Li took a deep look at Zhu Xiao: "Once your life is gone, no matter how many benefits you get, it will be useless."
"Benefits?" Zhu Xiao obviously didn't expect Lu Li to say such a thing. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would already have such insights at such a young age. King Yan is really lucky. If you don’t decline, even if your cultivation is completely ruined, you can still be helped by a genius like you.”
After saying that, Zhu Xiao sighed: "You are right. At this time, I just want to survive. If you can represent the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian... No, as long as you can represent the Yan Palace to save my life, do you want to I can explain everything I know."
"It actually... happened?"
In front of the water mirror, Mo Shenfeng showed a hint of shock.
But Mu Ningqiu and Ge Xinyue looked at each other and smiled.
Even Beidi didn't think there was anything strange about this.
No matter how cunning Zhu Xiao is, he has absolutely no chance of winning against Lu Li.
Not to mention that he was now a prisoner. During the bloody battle in the canyon, Yi Wu was sure to win, but he was still tricked by Lu Li. In the end, he cost the lives of thousands of demon guards in vain, but got no benefits.
Lu Li was able to deceive Yi Wu into such a virtuous person and deceive Zhu Xiao, a prisoner who was on the verge of 'collapse'.
"Today was really an eye-opener."
After experiencing the initial shock, Mo Shenfeng took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile.
If he had some doubts about Lu Li's abilities before, now that he saw Lu Li's 'mind-attacking' technique that turned corruption into magic, even the last trace of doubt had been dispelled.
In the cell, looking at Zhu Xiao's eyes that had lost some of their energy, Lu Li did not answer immediately, but pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I'm sorry, I can't make any guarantees."
