Chapter 923

The Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Li Yi is not the type of person to sit and wait for death. If anyone wants him to die, he doesn't mind sending the other party on their way. Moreover, with the "Knife Coin" as his trump card, where in the Heavenly Realm can he not go? However, he was not in a hurry to turn hostile, but rather wanted to know the true thoughts of this Jidu.

If it were just to send him to his death, Jidu wouldn't have come alone; he would likely have brought a group of Heavenly Generals to capture him long ago.

Jidu laughed at this moment: "Tai Yi, I don't want you to die; I have secured an opportunity for you. You also know that hiding like this is not a solution. Once the World Boat stops at a station and your ticket expires, even if you don't get off the boat, we will have to blast you off."

"And the Luo Sha tribe is waiting for this exact moment. Do you understand?"

Li Yi remained silent, just continuing to listen to what Jidu had to say.

Jidu added: "The reason I want you to step out voluntarily is that I want to help you solve this trouble in a straightforward manner. The Luo Sha tribe people want to kill you; doesn't your appearance give them the perfect opportunity?"

"On the World Boat, there is a secret realm called the Life and Death Hell, which is used by the World Boat to regulate disputes. When some passengers have conflicts and cannot resolve them, they can enter the Life and Death Hell secret realm for a private duel; only the living can walk out of the secret realm."

Li Yi understood at this moment. He pondered for a moment and said: "You want me to enter the Life and Death Hell secret realm and fight with those Luo Sha tribe people?"

"Correct," Jidu said. "Fighting in the Life and Death secret realm, you only need to face Luo Sha tribe powerhouses of the same realm. If you go outside, you will have to deal with Luo Sha Heavenly Kings; I assume you don't want that to happen."

"The Captain has indeed thought of a good idea, letting me die in the Life and Death Hell; that way, this trouble disappears," Li Yi shook his head slightly.

Jidu immediately said: "Tai Yi, I have seen you fight; your strength is not bad. We, the Divine Might 【Guard】, if you can win five matches against the Luo Sha tribe, we can recruit you into the Boat Guard, letting you stay on the World Boat until the day you are willing to leave."

"If you can win ten matches against the Luo Sha tribe, no matter where you go, we, the Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang, will personally escort you all the way. Of course, as for what happens later, that depends on your own fortune."

"The rules of the Heavenly Realm are just like this: if you are strong, you are worth surviving. If your skills are insufficient, then we can't help it. However, I believe it shouldn't be difficult for you to win five matches against them."

Winning five matches would allow him to stay on the World Boat for a long time, receive the protection of the World Boat, and avoid the pursuit of the Luo Sha tribe; these are indeed good conditions.

Li Yi guessed that the Heavenly Kings on both sides had already negotiated the conditions, and both had made concessions.

The Boat Guard side wants to use his hands to kill a few Luo Sha tribe Heavenly Generals. Of course, if he dies, this matter will also be settled, and the aftermath will not affect the prestige of the World Boat side.

After all, entering the Life and Death Hell secret realm is voluntary; no one is coercing you, and if you die, you have nothing to say.

If Li Yi keeps winning, making the Luo Sha tribe lose face and suffer heavy losses, then the Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang on the World Boat wouldn't mind doing a favor. Whether it's recruiting him into his ranks or escorting him away, it would be a good reputation to spread.

Either way, no loss.

"Tai Yi, you only have one hour to think. After one hour, I will leave, and at that time, we, the Boat Guard, will no longer intervene in this matter." Seeing Li Yi thinking, Jidu added another sentence.

Li Yi glanced at him. Although this person had an agenda, one thing he said was right: facing Luo Sha Heavenly Generals is better than facing a Luo Sha Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang.

Winning five matches to trade for a path to survival sounds quite good indeed.

Although he has the "Knife Coin" to run away.

But why not kill a few Rakshasas before leaving? His magic arts are just beginning to take shape, and he happens to need some Heavenly General-level powerhouses to sharpen his blade. If he refuses now, he will not only offend the Luo Sha tribe but also the Boat Guard. By then, he and the Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang would likely be stabbed in the back eight times and commit suicide within the Still Water secret realm.

This seemingly has a choice, but in reality, there is no choice.

He has already been drawn into the struggle between two major forces; it is not so easy to stay out of it.

"I understand. I agree to the matter of the Life and Death Hell secret realm. I wonder if there are any rules?" Li Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Jidu revealed a smile on his face, and then added: "Heavenly General-level combat, one-on-one, no use of armor or weapons, and no borrowing of Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level power. It's that simple."

"No armor or weapons?" Li Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

It is likely that the Luo Sha tribe people already know he possesses a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang weapon, the Reverse Scale Battle Armor, which is why they proposed this requirement.

And the prohibition on borrowing Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level power should be the requirement proposed by the Boat Guard.

After all, it is a very simple matter for a powerhouse to seal power within another person and unleash a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level strike at a critical moment.

With these few rules set, it means that the battle with the Luo Sha tribe can only rely on his own hard strength; there is no way to cheat.

"Tai Yi, if you have any other conditions, you can mention them; I will try my best to help you," Jidu said, seeing Li Yi looking somewhat troubled.

Li Yi said: "I don't have any other conditions, it's just that I am quite short of money. If the other party is willing to add some stakes, that would be best. After all, one cannot win a match for nothing. I just don't know how much the life of a Heavenly General-level 【Luo Sha】 is worth."

Jidu was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood Li Yi's meaning. He said: "I understand. This matter is not difficult to handle; I will go and get it done for you. If everything is fine, two hours later, I will arrange for someone to take you to the Life and Death Hell secret realm."

Li Yi did not speak, only nodding his head.

After this matter was settled, Jidu left very quickly.

As the nine-zhang-high secret realm gate closed, the Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang on the side frowned and said: "Tai Yi, this matter is too dangerous; you shouldn't have agreed. It would be best to stall for time and then find an opportunity to leave the World Boat."

"Can we leave now?" Li Yi said: "If Jidu could find us, it means the Luo Sha tribe people can also find us. It's just that both sides don't want to make a big scene, so they found a compromise."

"Whether I die or not is not important to them; what's important is the conclusion of this matter."

The Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang fell silent. She also understood that this was a game between two major forces, not as simple as she had imagined. However, it was fortunate that the force behind the World Boat was strong enough; otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would have tied Li Yi up and handed him over to the Luo Sha tribe long ago, rather than staging such a scene.

"If Tai Yi is going to fight the Luo Sha tribe, you must be careful of the Royal lineage of the Luo Sha tribe. The ones we encountered before were just ordinary Luo Sha tribe Heavenly Generals; their Royal Rakshasas are the most terrifying."

She then added a reminder.

Luo Sha Royal family? Li Yi's expression shifted: "Like the difference between mixed-blood and True Dragons?"

"Even greater than that," the Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang said.

"Alright, I have an idea now," he nodded slightly.

The opponent might be very strong, but Li Yi is not necessarily weaker than them; fearing before the battle is a great taboo.

"I will prepare a bit and then set off. You wait for me here." Li Yi then found an opportunity to leave. He did not go too far, but secretly contacted Hua Qing alone.

"Stop sleeping, there's going to be a fight. Won't you, Great Emperor Hua Qing, come out and give some advice?"

Hua Qing's voice immediately sounded: "Haven't you already made your decision? What advice do I have to give? If you really can't beat them, just run. You have the 'Knife Coin', what are you afraid of?"

"Besides, taking this opportunity to temper yourself is also a good thing. As for the rest... rest assured, the Luo Sha tribe Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang definitely won't attack you in public. The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang within the World Boat will be watching them. Go ahead and fight with peace of mind."

"I hope so," Li Yi said. "Will this purple lotus in my Primordial Spirit be discovered by the other party?"

"They won't be able to discover it. I will help you conceal it. Unless the other party is a Heavenly Emperor, it is impossible to see any clues," Hua Qing said. "However, this purple lotus of yours is not ordinary. After a transformation, it is now a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, invaluable. Do not show it to others in the future, at least not in the Heavenly Realm, otherwise, there will be trouble."

"I already have big trouble now," Li Yi said. "Alright, the matter is settled like this. I should go; you sleep slowly."

After informing Hua Qing, he didn't say anything else.

This matter is quite important and concerns the life and death of both of them. Having this former Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse keep an eye on things makes him feel more at ease.

Soon.

The secret realm gate was knocked on again.

This time, a strange Heavenly General arrived, but the Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang recognized that this person was with Jidu before and also belonged to the Boat Guard members.

"Tai Yi, I am here under the orders of Captain Jidu to invite you to the Life and Death Hell secret realm," this Heavenly General said.

Li Yi arrived stepping on auspicious clouds at this moment. He was fully prepared and just nodded slightly: "Please lead the way, Your Excellency."

"This way, please." This Heavenly General was quite polite, gesturing before leading the way.

Li Yi and the Dragon Lady Longnu Yushang followed closely behind.

The route this Heavenly General took was quite hidden; they didn't encounter a single person along the way. After a short while, he arrived before a special secret realm gate.

This gate was as red as blood, indestructible, and exuded a thick baleful aura; it was unknown how much blood of powerhouses it had soaked up over countless years.

However, this Heavenly General did not lead him into it, but opened the door to a small secret realm next to it.

As soon as the gate opened, Li Yi sensed many powerful auras. The most scorching was a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level figure; that figure stood tall in the firmament, and the terrifying momentum poured in like an endless ocean, making one feel that even breathing was somewhat difficult.

"A Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level powerhouse, and not a simple Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level one at that. The other party's aura is even several times stronger than that 'Holding Power Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang' I encountered before," Li Yi felt a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect that at the same realm, the gap could be so large.

"Reporting to the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang, Tai Yi has been brought," this Heavenly General bowed respectfully toward that figure.

"Tai Yi? A good name, corresponding to the Heavenly Dao, with great spirit. It would be a pity if this name doesn't become a Venerable in the future," a resonant voice echoed, carrying a hint of a smile. "I am the Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang; Jidu should have mentioned me to you before."

"Greetings, Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang," Li Yi and the Dragon Lady behind him also bowed.

The next moment.

A majestic figure appeared abruptly not far from the two. This person wore a gorgeous garment, stood nearly four meters tall, had a pair of dark golden eyes, and thunder intertwined behind him, looking like a swimming dragon coiling around his body.

It was very clear.

Judging from his appearance and image, this Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang was not human, but of the Celestial God tribe.

"I have made a bet with the Luo Sha tribe. For every match you win, they will gift you two jin of Nine Heavens Divine Water. That's a lot of money. As for whether you have the ability to take it, that depends on your strength," the Divine Might Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang said with a smile.

"If you can win until the end, I will also give you a separate reward; it won't be a wasted trip for you."
