silence.
The air swirled in the stagnant silence.
Bing Wuji speaking his last words without any haste.
They remained suspended in mid-air, quietly awaiting Lu Li's reply.
He was confident that no one would refuse his offer.
No one would risk provoking such a terrifying being to give up their current great interests.
Of the ten major schools of thought, only the Military School remains.
The ninety-nine prefectures of the Central Continent can be divided among Lu Li.
In addition, there are the four states of the southeast, northwest, and southwest.
The entire Eastern Wasteland could now be divided equally between the two of them.
To be honest, Bing Wuji didn't know how things had turned out this way either.
He, who had originally hated the Dragon Calamity the most, now felt fortunate.
Fortunately, the Dragon Calamity has once again emerged in the Eastern Wasteland; fortunately, the Military School still have the means to contact the Ji Household.
Before the Dragon Calamity appeared, this method was truly useless.
It could even be a disruptive factor.
No one wants to be noticed by such a terrifying being.
Even Military School wouldn't agree to that.
No one knows whether the Eastern Wasteland Eastern Wasteland suffer another great calamity if the Ji Household reappears.
But now, this allows him to control the Dragon Calamity.
Regardless of how powerful the Dragon Calamity talent is, as long as Military School possess this method.
Then the Ji Household can continue to suppress the Dragon Calamity.
Even the mighty Great Jin, with its three Supreme Li Taixuan, perished.
He refused to believe that Lu Li could one day grow strong enough to threaten the Ji Household.
Thinking of this, Bing Wuji's expression became even more confident.
He had even begun to plan in his mind how to maximize his interests in the division of the ninety-nine prefectures of the Central Continent.
"Young friend Lu, you have now Perfected Dao Integration."
"Once you enter the Tribulation Transcendence, you can no longer move around freely. You should find a place to seal your aura and plan for Mahayana or even ascension."
"My Central Continent Plains is a vast and abundant land, with its ninety-nine prefectures brimming with Spiritual Qi."
"Of the ten major families whose young friend's Dragon Fate is now known, only my Military School remains."
"As long as my Military School remains silent, young friend, you can cultivate diligently in this Central Continent."
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if our two families could henceforth jointly govern the Eastern Wasteland?"
Bing Wuji stared at Lu Li for a long time without saying a word.
Then he patiently and persuasively guided her for a while.
The terms and future prospects were extremely enticing.
A complete star of life cultivation, shared by two separate entities.
This offer is undeniably tempting.
Even those Mahayana Perfection Buddhism might not be able to resist.
Moreover, the Eastern Wasteland these days is dominated by Military School and Lu Li warriors.
Their influence is clean and innocent, making them extremely easy to manipulate.
Throughout the entire history of the Eastern Wasteland, there has never been a situation as simple as it is today.
Lu Li slowly raised his head to look at Bing Wuji.
Then he glanced at the four Mahayana behind Bing Wuji.
Their Military School strength was indeed remarkable.
Bing Wuji in the Late Mahayana, and two of the remaining four were also in the Late Mahayana.
There is also one from the Middle Mahayana and one from the Early Mahayana.
Their combat strength is not much worse than his side's.
If a real fight breaks out, even Bone Evil and the others might not be able to protect him.
Faced with this situation, negotiation seems to be Lu Li's best option.
" The Ji Household... I have a question."
After a long while, Lu Li finally spoke.
Bing Wuji's expression brightened slightly.
Lu Li's current decision is very important to him, to the Central Continent, and even to the entire Eastern Wasteland.
If anything goes wrong, even Bing Wuji would find the consequences unacceptable.
He responded to Lu Li directly at that moment.
"If you have any questions, young friend, please feel free to ask."
"My Bing Wuji and will never conceal anything."
"Very well, if that's the case, then let me ask you, Master Military School, since you have the Ji Household's order, why didn't you notify the Ji Household to annihilate me sooner? Even if the Ji Household is powerful, they can't necessarily take their anger out on you."
Lu Li's question is very simple.
But Bing Wuji found it difficult to answer.
After much hesitation, he told the truth.
Whether or not anger is transferred to another person, no one can guarantee that.
"When Li Taixuan died, how many great Venerable of the Great Jin Dynasty died in vain?"
"If the Ji Household is truly attracted, no one can guarantee that the Eastern Wasteland can withstand another major disaster."
"Is that so..."
After asking the last question.
Lu Li lowered his head and remained silent.
It seems they are facing a choice.
The situation reached a stalemate once again.
Lu Li speak, Bing Wuji dared not make any unusual moves.
Yinyang Qingfan and Military School Mahayana Cheng, who were behind him, could only wait obediently.
As for that ancient-looking token, it has already been put away by Bing Wuji.
Thinking of the efficacy of that ancient token.
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a surge of impulse.
Can this token truly cross distant stars and reach the Ji Household in an instant?
If that's true...
" Yinyang Qingfan, how confident do you think this person is in withstanding my Supreme strike?"
"Or rather, how many breaths can he hold out?"
Lu Li's sudden telepathic message made Yinyang Qingfan's heart leap.
She knew that Lu Li was probably going to take a gamble.
Even she felt a chill run down her spine at such a high-stakes gamble.
How many breaths can it hold out?
Who knows!
Yinyang Qingfan did not answer.
Bone Evil and the others had all received Lu Li's telepathic message.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
It revealed a hint of dangerous intent.
Bing Wuji keenly perceived this change.
His expression instantly turned cold, and he looked at Lu Li with extreme apprehension.
"Young friend Lu, I advise you not to make a mistake for yourself."
"If the Ji Household finds out, even if you manage to kill all the cultivators of my Military School today, you will not escape death sooner or later."
"Furthermore... my Military School may not necessarily be defeated by you."
Bing Wuji's voice was cold and sharp.
The unease in my heart grew stronger.
To be honest, he himself didn't know if the token, which hadn't been used for thousands of years, was still working.
Is it possible to contact the Ji Household?
If it doesn't work, or if it takes too long.
This turn of events was difficult for both him and his Military School to bear.
With this in mind, Bing Wuji decided to play it safe.
He immediately distanced himself from Lu Li.
He raised his hand and summoned a pair of celestial white battle armor from the void.
The armor exuded an extremely powerful aura, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.
Bing Wuji's voice had lost its previous calmness.
Yelled angrily.
"Young friend, do not mislead yourself. The immortal armor I wear is a legacy from my ancestor Military School."
"The quality of this realm is close to that of immortals. Even if you unleash a devastating attack, it will only last for a short while."
"This gap is enough time for me to contact the Ji Household!"
Bing Wuji's move has indeed made things more difficult for Lu Li.
The original plan was to eliminate this person silently and seize the token.
It seems now that there's really no chance.
But Lu Li was ultimately unwilling to accept it.
They finally fought their way to the Central Continent, and finally reached the front Military School.
Once the Military School is destroyed, this Eastern Wasteland will belong to his Dao Court.
For the next thirty years, he was absolutely confident that he could unite the entire Eastern Wasteland into one cohesive whole.
Now, out of nowhere, another family has taken it away.
Deep down, I find it hard to accept.
But since things have come to this point, it seems the only option is to put it on hold for now.
With this thought in mind, Lu Li slowly withdrew his aura.
Before turning away, he left behind a sentence.
" Military School should not expand beyond the existing territory, not even by a single inch in the Central Continent."
"Furthermore... henceforth, Military School are forbidden from venturing out of the Central Continent without authorization; any such action would be tantamount to a declaration of war."
With that, Lu Li vanished instantly.
Yinyang Qingfan and the others followed.
The air grew still once more.
Bing Wuji was deeply disturbed.
Lu Li's words enraged him, yet he found it difficult to refute them.
He couldn't even tell whether he was threatening Lu Li or Lu Li was threatening him.
Fortunately, the Dragon Calamity has been temporarily stabilized.
If we take a long-term view, there is still a chance.
Thinking of this, Bing Wuji his hand and dispelled the immortal armor on his body.
Just as he was about to turn around and return, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly surged from the void behind him!
Before he could react...
A familiar, indifferent voice rang in his ears.
"Negotiations now? It's too late!"
