Chapter 462: The Trade

High above in the sky.

A look of unpleasantness appeared on Immortal Venerable Fengwu's pale face.

Lu Li was not in a hurry, merely smiling lightly.

"How about we make a trade?"

"What trade?"

Immortal Venerable Fengwu regained his composure.

The battle from before!

Although Lu Li had already displayed powerful means sufficient to suppress him, as a True Immortal powerhouse, he would not surrender so easily, not to mention that he had the entire Divine Radiance Dynasty behind him.

"Let those two go."

Lu Li's gaze turned toward Lei Chen and Lin Bo not far away.

"I will return the lifelong inheritance of Zhuang Tianlan."

"What!"

Immortal Venerable Fengwu's expression changed instantly: "You obtained the lifelong inheritance of Senior Tianlan!"

Over ten thousand years ago!

Zhuang Tianlan entered the Divine Radiance Dynasty as a True Immortal.

Later, attracted by the cultivation insights of the ancestor who founded the Divine Radiance Dynasty, he joined the Divine Radiance Dynasty.

Then, a hundred years of enlightenment!

He finally became a generation of Immortal King, suppressing the Profound Desolation for thousands of years.

The Divine Radiance Dynasty also moved toward ultimate glory because of this!

It is just a pity that after Zhuang Tianlan left the sect ten thousand years ago, his soul lamp suddenly extinguished, which plunged the entire Divine Radiance Dynasty into great shock.

For this reason, they even inquired in many ways!

They wanted to find clues, but there was not the slightest result!

Never did he expect that this Master of the Departing Feather Palace before him would actually bring such a massive piece of news.

"Hoo!"

Immortal Venerable Fengwu suppressed the shock in his heart.

Zhuang Tianlan suppressed the Profound Desolation for thousands of years, and his cultivation was peerlessly terrifying; if his inheritance could be retrieved, it would be a tremendous help to the Divine Radiance Dynasty.

However, before that, he had to clarify everything.

"Palace Master Lu, I heard you come from the starry sky of the universe; could it be that you obtained Senior Tianlan's inheritance there?"

"Correct."

Lu Li nodded slightly and recounted everything he had obtained previously in the Yin-Departing Profound Maiden Palace.

In fact, with his combat power!

Even if he forcibly took Lei Chen and Lin Bo away, it would be effortless.

But if he did so, he would offend the entire Divine Radiance Dynasty and invite countless troubles; although he did not fear them, he knew he could not be too overbearing.

Although this place is one where the strong are respected!

Because of the external pressure of the fierce beasts, it has not truly reached the point of the law of the jungle; among the major main cities and various forces, there is also relative order.

Powerhouses above the True Immortal level!

Even more rarely take action!

He could explain killing Ye Wufeng by saying he had just arrived in the Profound Desolation Continent, but now that he had joined the Great Dao Alliance, if he were still to press people with force, it would only invite more dissatisfaction.

Before the Departing Feather Palace had gained a firm foothold, he did not intend to be so sharp and exposed!

Therefore, he made this decision.

Otherwise, given his past personality, he would have long since repelled this Immortal Venerable Fengwu and left with Lei Chen and Lin Bo.

After listening to Lu Li's words.

Immortal Venerable Fengwu then nodded seriously.

"So Senior Tianlan went with the Nine-Wondrous Profound Maiden to pursue the opportunity to break through to Immortal King."

Back then, Zhuang Tianlan left the Divine Radiance Dynasty alone and did not tell anyone!

With his status!

He did not need to tell anyone!

This resulted in the people of the Divine Radiance Dynasty having no clues to investigate after his soul lamp extinguished, which is why the Divine Radiance Dynasty still does not know why Zhuang Tianlan died to this day.

"According to the speculation of Immortal Venerable Huanling, the two of them perished together with the Fog Demon Divine Beast!"

Lu Li only roughly recounted some matters regarding the two.

Everything else!

He did not say anything more.

"As for the Fog Demon Divine Beast, that is within expectations, but I just don't know what kind of opportunity Senior Tianlan was pursuing that he actually encountered such a terrifying fierce beast." Immortal Venerable Fengwu's expression shifted.

Lu Li, however, gave no answer, merely saying calmly: "You already know everything relevant, and you should give me an answer now."

"This..."

Immortal Venerable Fengwu could not help but frown.

The reason he was hunting down Lei Chen and Lin Bo was simply because he did not want Zhuang Tianlan's inheritance to be lost to outsiders!

You must know!

Back then, Zhuang Tianlan's cultivation was so powerful!

After joining the Divine Radiance Dynasty, he naturally left behind a lineage of inheritance; today, that lineage already has a pivotal status in the Divine Radiance Dynasty, and even if only to maintain the dignity of the Divine Radiance Dynasty, they could not allow Zhuang Tianlan's inheritance to fall into the hands of others.

By all logic!

After Lu Li explained this matter, he should have killed Lu Li along with the others.

But the problem now is!

He is not Lu Li's match!

Furthermore, given Lu Li's combat power, I fear that even if all the True Immortals of the Divine Brilliance Dynasty joined forces, they would not be able to win.

Not to mention that if a true life-and-death battle were to occur!

The Great Dao Alliance would inevitably intervene to stop it!

Killing Lu Li is simply impossible!

In that case!

There is only one path left to take!

"Since it has come to this, I can only agree," Immortal Venerable Fengwu said with a bitter smile.

Lu Li nodded slightly.

Ever since he proposed this trade, he knew that Immortal Venerable Fengwu would certainly agree.

He is not Lei Chen or Lin Bo!

Even if the Divine Brilliance Dynasty wanted to kill him, they would be unable to do so.

Dignity is only relative!

Once one possesses sufficient strength, even the Divine Brilliance Dynasty must yield.

Seeing this, Immortal Venerable Fengwu could not help but continue: "However, after this matter, I hope Palace Master Lu will agree to one request of mine."

"What request?" Lu Li asked.

"Since Palace Master Lu has obtained this inheritance, you must have already comprehended it. I hope that, apart from Palace Master Lu, this inheritance will not be leaked any further," Immortal Venerable Fengwu said with a solemn expression.

The reason he agreed to Lu Li!

Was because he was most worried about this.

Once the Divine Brilliance Dynasty pushed Lu Li too far, he feared that Lu Li would spread the inheritance of Zhuang Tianlan across the entire Profound Desolation Continent.

At that point, the losses would outweigh the gains!

"I have no great interest in finding those who seek the Immortal King's inheritance; if the Divine Brilliance Dynasty wishes to, they can handle it themselves."

Lu Li reached out and pointed at Lei Chen and Lin Bo.

"However, after this trade is completed, your Divine Brilliance Dynasty is not permitted to target them again."

"Then let it be so!"

Immortal Venerable Fengwu nodded lightly.

Lu Li said nothing more.

With a flick of his finger, a brilliant river of starlight spiritual light emerged; the starlight was intricate, shifting in a myriad of ways, and finally, like flowing water, it carried the boundless and vast power of the inheritance and submerged into Immortal Venerable Fengwu's mind.

"The matter is settled, we part ways here."

After finishing all this.

Lu Li did not linger for a moment.

Leaving behind these words, he took Lei Chen and Lin Bo and vanished completely.

As for the matter of Lei Chen obtaining Zhuang Tianlan's inheritance!

After the trade was reached!

It was already completely put to rest!

……

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month passed.

Lu Li brought Lei Chen and Lin Bo to the Lower Realm.

His figure flashed.

Three figures materialized in the void.

This place was not far from the Li Yu Palace; at Lu Li's speed, he could arrive in a moment.

However, since he had brought Lei Chen and Lin Bo along, he naturally had to let them know everything relevant in advance, rather than taking them directly inside.

"Is the Li Yu Palace the force founded by Senior Lu?"

Lei Chen raised his head and looked at Lu Li.

Beside him, Lin Bo also revealed a look of anticipation.
