The next day, at 23:52 in the morning.
"So, do you really know where the Lone Soul Box is? Is it possible that the Lone Soul Box has been damaged and everyone's ghosts have been returned to their original owners?"
Li Jianguo asked Cui Ling.
"No, I have seen it and know where the Lone Soul Box is. It is now under strict protection. Most of the ghosts have different recovery abilities than ordinary people. The main reason is because the ghost spirit is in the Lone Soul Box."
Shang Lue said in a calm voice, and then looked at Huang Si: "You see that Huang Si is recovering quickly now, which means that the lonely soul box has not been damaged."
Cui Ling felt that he had taken control of the situation again:
"So, Mr. Li, there are more than forty Ming Gu here, but not all the Ming Gu that I can control. There are more than 270 Ming Gu that I can command, although their individual combat power may not be as good as Black and White and the others are more than enough to attack and kill most of the immortal mansions in the Three Realms. Coupled with the annihilation souls that I carefully crafted, I can definitely..."
Cui Ling's tone became more and more desperate as he spoke, and finally stopped slowly.
Li Jianguo still had an expression of no reaction.
He even said that his expression was a bit dazed.
Cui Ling was a little afraid of the person in front of him.
Why can he remain indifferent?
Is my trump card completely worthless to Li Jianguo?
Li Jianguo was indeed at a loss.
He really didn't know what Cui Ling was talking to him about.
I'm already tied up, what are you telling me about your plan?
Can I really disrupt your situation?
The dark wind blew by, and Cui Ling stared at Li Jianguo in silence.
Now his trump card has been revealed, but the other party has shown no response. He doesn't know how this negotiation should proceed.
The two people just stared at each other for a few seconds.
Li Jianguo was a little confused and asked:
"Keep talking, why did you stop?"
Cui Lingdao was in a state of confusion.
Say...what?
What else can be said?
Have you already revealed your trump cards?
Why...every time I talk to Li Jianguo, I feel like this person is unfathomable?
It was like staring into an abyss...a bottomless abyss where demons whisper.
Cui Ling seemed to be able to hear Li Jianguo's heartfelt sarcasm: Ah, no? Is that all you have? No way, right? Family members, who knows? This person came to negotiate with me with only such little skills! What a shame!
No, there can be no chaos, cheer up, Cui Ling! This is the final critical moment!
The advantage lies with me. It is impossible for Li Jianguo to really be able to deal with his trump card!
Cui Ling braced himself and continued to face Li Jianguo: "...I hereby make my appeal. I demand that our New Hades be independent. The New Hades will no longer accept the jurisdiction of the heavens and will be autonomous. The New Hades will freely exercise its soul-related powers. With all the power, the new Hades will only use some members of the original Hades, and..."
Cui Ling was still talking about his ideas, but he had noticed that Li Jianguo had no interest in it.
Cui Ling felt as if he was talking to a hard wall, and no matter what he said, there was no response.
Cui Ling still insisted on finishing his statement. He closed his mouth and waited for Li Jianguo's response.
Li Jianguo said:
"so what?"
Cui Ling is about to collapse.
He finally understood that Li Jianguo never took this conversation seriously from beginning to end.
Cui Ling suppressed his impulse to run away and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
Li Jianguo thought for a while and told the truth: "They want me to catch you and take you back."
In addition to Shang Lue, all the surrounding Minggu people laughed at the same time.
"Take Master Cui away from us?"
"We are Minggu. Do you know that we all came from mountains of swords and seas of fire! And there are 40 of us. Even if black and white and bull-headed horses are present, we are sure to win!"
"Who are you? You still want to show off to us?"
…
Li Jianguo sighed.
They're right. To be honest, I didn't want to join the battlefield at first. Didn't I get caught by you?
Only Cui Ling was trembling.
He knew that Li Jianguo's strength was unfathomable.
He once easily killed everyone in his courtyard, including his chief bodyguard! Not even a sound was made!
This strength is definitely no less than Black and White Impermanence, Bull-headed Horse-faced, even far above them.
The Minggu people didn't know how terrible Li Jianguo was.
A Ming Gu smiled and said to Li Jianguo: "So, the so-called Master Li, how are you going to take Master Cui back? Are you going to kill all of us at the same time?"
Li Jianguo shook his head honestly: "I can't do it."
"Then how do you bring Master Cui back? Master Li?"
When Ming Gu said this sentence, he deliberately bitten the three words "Master Li" very hard. Each word was like a firecracker thrown into the water, goo goo doo doo, full of evocative aftertaste.
Shang Lue, who had been silent all this time, also looked puzzled: "Master Cui, I have discovered that you attach great importance to this person, but indeed I don't know the reason why you attach great importance to him. Since we separated, you seem to have paid more attention to him. Afraid, why?"
Cui Ling's eyes slowly swept around Li Jianguo and Shang Lue. Instead of answering Shang Lue's words, he asked Li Jianguo nervously: "How are you going to... take me back?"
The Minggu people who were laughing just now fell silent.
No way, Cui Ling's first reaction was that he thought Li Jianguo would really take him back?
In the eyes of Cui Ling, are the more than forty orphans among us even worse than a tied up waste?
Cui Ling has already begun to add anxiously: "I advise you to be more sensible. Once something happens to me, the Three Realms will be in great trouble. The safest way now is to agree to my conditions. I...I can let you go back and be with those in the Three Realms. People will discuss it, but it only takes one day, no, half a day. If you don’t agree, I will immediately start destroying the Three Realms. This is the safest way, right?"
In the end, Cui Ling's tone became almost asking for Li Jianguo's opinion.
Of course Li Jianguo nodded immediately: "Okay, okay!"
Of course, it's okay. I'm tied up now. Wouldn't it be a good thing to go back?
But he glanced at Huang Si and asked, "What about Huang Si?"
What Li Jianguo meant was: Will Huang Si be okay? Can I take Huang Si back too?
Cui Ling thought Li Jianguo meant: I can go back, so that’s how Huang Si’s matter is forgotten? Huang Si is my little brother. He was beaten to the point of dying. You don’t think you’ll settle the matter just by letting us go back, do you?
So Cui Ling was very nervous and watched Li Jianguo's every move with fear.
After a while, he waved his hand, indicating that Huang Si should be taken down first: "Treat Huang Si's injuries first."
Although Ming Gu didn't know what Cui Ling wanted to do, two Ming Gu still carried Huang Si down from Shaking Sky Cliff.
Li Jianguo was a little surprised, but he understood immediately:
Cui Ling meant to take Huang Si as a hostage, right?
Of course Cui Ling didn't mean this.
Cui Ling meant to send Huang Si and Li Jianguo back together after treatment, so that they could communicate with the Three Realms about the legal status of the New Hades.
The two of them just watched Huang Si go down the cliff without saying a word.
It wasn't until Huang Si disappeared from sight that Cui Ling let out a sigh of relief: "Then Mr. Li...please come back?"
"Okay!" Li Jianguo replied cheerfully, "But the constraints on me..."
Cui Ling responded without hesitation: "When the ghost orphans send you to the border of Hades, they will open it for you. Now for the sake of each other's safety, I think it's better not to open it."
Li Jianguo nodded indifferently.
I have been tied up for so long, and I don’t care about that moment. As long as I finally untie myself, it will be fine. As for what he said about communicating with the three realms... forget it, let's talk about it when we get back.
However, Ming Gu next to him began to whisper:
"What does Cui Ling mean by this? Do you think we are not as safe as the rope on his body?"
"You look down on us so much, just a Li Jianguo, why can't we be suppressed by so many Minggu?"
"I thought Cui Ling and we were in an equal partnership, but it turns out that he is also a dog official who looks down on others!"
"Either too cowardly or too ignorant, do we still need to cooperate with such a person?"
…
These small comments naturally reached Cui Ling's ears, but Cui Ling could only pretend not to hear them.
You can't really let Li Jianguo show his hand to them, right? Then maybe everyone here will suffer!
I will explain it clearly to these orphans later, but... let's send away Li Jianguo, the god of plague first!
Shang Lue coughed twice, and then the whispers of the surrounding orphans subsided.
Shang Lue sized up Li Jianguo again. He had met countless people and knew at a glance that Li Jianguo was definitely a mediocre person. After dealing with him twice, he didn't find anything extraordinary about Li Jianguo. Likewise, he didn't understand why Cui Ling was so afraid of Li Jianguo.
"Master Cui, I must remind you once again," Shang slightly leaned forward, but with piercing eyes, he said to Cui Ling, "Our cooperation with you is based on our mutual recognition. We recognize your work for Hades." Picture, you also need to recognize the strength of our Minggu people. You have elevated this person and belittled us Minggu people again and again today. With all due respect, it makes us very uncomfortable. I hope you can be more Value us and respect us more, which is the basis for our future cooperation.”
Cui Ling nodded and thought to himself: Of course I know your strength very well, and I know the strength of Li Jianguo even better. Please shut up. If you can send him away first, everything will be fine!
"Huh?" Li Jianguo hummed lightly.
Cui Ling's heart trembled.
"In other words," Li Jianguo asked, "Cui Ling can't directly mobilize you? Doesn't he control the lonely soul box?"
Shang Lue rolled his eyes at Li Jianguo and said arrogantly: "Master Cui can control the lonely soul box, but he chose to protect the lonely soul box with us, thus avoiding our fate of being enslaved."
"Co-guard?"
"It's okay to tell you. The Soul Box is guarded by three elite stone monsters and twelve Hades in a safe place. It is absolutely impossible for you to approach. Not to mention the Hades, the three elite stone monsters can be called Hades. Top combat power, they have been wandering in the Nine Netherlands long before the establishment of Hades, and each of them is capable of fighting a bull-headed horse without losing..."
Li Jianguo remembered.
"Is it the kind of stone monster with characters carved all over its body and two characters for its eyes, who always likes to say "it's all under control"?"
"Huh? Have you seen him? He is Shiliu, the leader of the elite stone monsters, and the guard of Master Cui, but..." At this point, Shang Lue turned around and looked around, "By the way, Master Cui , I didn’t see Shiliu? Logically speaking, shouldn’t he be with you? Why didn’t you take him with you when you left the city?”
Cui Ling looked at Li Jianguo with a pale face.
Shang Lue was keenly aware of Cui Ling's expression.
"Him? You mean he defeated Shi Shiliu? How is that possible? This man is obviously helpless..."
Shang Lue's voice darkened. He stared at Cui Ling solemnly, and from Cui Ling's expression, he already knew that Cui Ling was not joking.
Could it be... is it still an instant kill?
Shang Lue murmured to himself: "How is it possible? Is there a mistake? Is it just him? Can he really kill us all with just a move of his fingers? No matter what..."
Shang Lue stared at Li Jianguo's bound hands, and one of his fingers moved slightly.
