I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 460. Universal Celebration

"Master Lu, what a pleasure to meet you!"

"Long have I admired your great name, and meeting you today does indeed prove it to be well-deserved!"

As soon as Lu Li arrived, several Governors immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

They all possessed Refining God Cultivation skills before and after "Zuowang," with combat abilities comparable to Shen Xing, standing out as exceptional figures among the Great Grandmasters.

After the pleasantries, the spokespeople from various Sects also stepped forward to pay their respects.

These were all "local tigers," whose word was law in their own territories.

But at this moment, they were all respectfully submissive, repeatedly praising Lu Li’s peerless elegance and youthful accomplishments.

Guests as they were, Lu Li patiently received them all.

Finally, after the formalities were concluded, the main event began!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lu Li, waiting for this newly emerged strong figure to "lay down the rules."

There were no clear boundaries to this matter; it could involve taboos or desires.

Lu Li could even declare himself emperor on the spot, and the group before him would tactfully swear fealty and pay tribute, creating a new "Great Jin Dynasty."

The Governors would remain Governors, the Gate Valves unchanged.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Lu Li spoke indifferently,

"I am solely dedicated to Cultivation and have no interest in wealth or power, nor do I require your allegiance."

His voice was soft, yet it traveled directly to everyone’s ears through spirit transmission, as if he were speaking face-to-face.

Upon hearing these words, those without cunning intentions wore joyful expressions, but several Governors still tensed their faces, waiting for what was next.

"I have only three demands. Fulfill them, and we can all coexist peacefully."

Lu Li looked around slowly and continued,

"Firstly, eradicate opium completely. Cultivation, processing, and selling—any of it will result in annihilation."

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar erupted among the crowd,

"Eradicate opium? That’s impossible!"

"Master, our opium is sold far and wide, domestically and internationally—many depend on it for their livelihood!"

Opium, ultimately cultivated from the soil, feared no one in this land.

During this period, opium had become the main industry in many areas.

Cutting off one’s livelihood was akin to killing their parents; the crowd could hardly accept it and immediately caused a commotion.

Lu Li, undisturbed, continued,

"Secondly, abolish all leases and ’unequal treaties.’ Westerners have 24 hours to leave; those who do not will be executed on the spot."

At these words, the crowd was dumbstruck, falling silent.

The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "Wang Huai Zhi," turned red-faced and urgently said,

"Westerners are not to be trifled with, Master! This act could provoke a repeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance’s past events! It is absolutely impermissible!"

Wang Huai Zhi seemed as if his ancestral grave had been desecrated, visibly agitated.

After the Yihe Fist, the Great Powers abandoned the idea of carving up Shen Zhou and instead chose to retreat behind the scenes, economically plundering through monopolized dumping.

Wang Huai Zhi was a supported comprador, who made a fortune just from the margins on imported goods.

The other Governors, as well as those present, had also been indulging lavishly in this feast.

Lu Li’s "second point" demanded not just a financial loss for them but might even provoke the Westerners to attack, something they definitely could not accept.

Even Jiang Shixiang advised,

"I understand Master’s disdain for the oppression by the Great Powers, but some matters should not be addressed with overly broad strokes. Normal trade is still necessary."

"Exactly! We urgently need goods from the Westerners right now!"

The crowd concurred, until the Governor of Hu Guang, "Qiao Chengmo," asked,

"Master, what is your third demand?"

At this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat; the first two demands were already life-threatening, and this third one might be even more outrageous.

Lu Li calmly stated,

"From today forth, do not harm mortals. For instance, capturing pregnant women for drug extraction—if I learn of such acts, the outcome will be annihilation."

As he spoke, Lu Li’s gaze swept over the major Sects present.

These were powers similar to the "Jiushan Sect," boasting Refining God Experts who liked to experiment on living humans.

Now, these people inwardly fumed, "This Lu really thinks he’s the ruler of the world!"

"What the hell, sticking his nose into our business!"

Although Lu Li’s family was akin to the "Lion Group," able to intimidate but not fully dominate the "Hyenas."

The crowd absolutely could not accept the three demands Lu Li made; the noise of dissent within the great hall grew louder and emotions flared.

"SILENCE!!!"

But at a fierce shout, Xiao Cha stood up. Holding the White Dragon Whip, she pointed at the crowd and coldly declared,

"My man is not here to negotiate with you! If you cannot do it, go to hell!"

With those words, a golden glow burst forth from Xiao Cha’s body, exploding with immense pressure.

Everyone suddenly felt their hearts panicking and short of breath, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

Someone discontentedly shouted, "Do you intend to dominate us with force! How can such actions convince the masses!"

"Convince the masses? You just need to obey."

Xia Weiyun sneered coldly, as he and the Cat Ears Sisters ignited their Immortal Will, a golden flame rising from their bodies.

The four Great Grandmasters released their aura, completely disrupting the life magnetism of the crowd.

Those whose cultivation hadn’t reached the Blood Exchange level couldn’t even stand, and immediately knelt on the ground.

At that moment, no one dared to utter a sound.

Xiao Cha looked disdainful, "Hmph, disrespect the toast and drink the forfeit!"

By now, only a few Governors still stood solemnly.

The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "Wang Huai Zhi," looked towards Lu Li, saying coldly,

"As a visitor one should be courteous; does the Master truly intend to start a slaughter here today!?"

Lu Li shook his head, calmly saying,

"As you said, as a visitor one should be courteous; I won’t kill anyone here."

Hearing this, everyone felt a sigh of relief, but then they began to tremble inexplicably, shaking like a sieve.

And the source was right behind Lu Li!

In the void, a colossal phantom slowly appeared, 280 meters long with a wingspan exceeding 600 meters.

"It’s Lu Li’s Heart Image!"

"Why is it so huge!"

"A monster..."

Whether talking about Lu Li or Annihilation, it all more or less amounted to the same.

At that moment, the phantom of the Demon Dragon passed directly through the crowd.

With thousands present, all could personally feel its enormous size.

Its scales and sharp teeth nearly within reach, three pairs of eyes full of malice made everyone shiver.

Intuition frantically warned them, alerting their brains of a fatal threat.

Some were paralyzed with fear on the spot, and others even urinated, instinctively clearing out their systems preparing to flee.

Several Governors had already ignited their Immortal Will, facing the immense pressure.

But the golden glow around them flickered and swayed, like a weak flame in the wind.

"This monster’s cultivation is terrifying!"

This scene was exactly because the life magnetism was suppressed by the Heart Image.

The faces of several Governors turned extremely ugly; the young man before them could easily kill them!

This was the result of days of arduous cultivation, and pleasing to Lu Li, he nodded and then said to the crowd,

"Remember my demands. Should there be any violation, you know the consequences."

Faced with a force mightier than them, including the Governors, thousands bowed their heads, anger boiling yet unspoken.

Lu Li waved his hand, "All is said now, you may leave."

No one wished to stay and be humiliated, the crowd hurriedly made their way out.

Though nothing was said on the surface, who wasn’t burning with rage?

Especially the Governors, used to being courteously treated even by the Immortal Sects, where would they have endured such humiliation?

But not until they had left the boundary of Qixia Mountain did the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, "Wang Huai Zhi," dare to curse:

"Such insolence! Do they really think we are made of mud! I’m going to seek justice from Liu Zhenjun!"

This man was backed by the Hengshan Sect, but it was nothing more but talk.

Lu Li was known as the lover of Dragon Girl, known by all, and intervention by the Immortal Sect was futile.

The Governor of Yun and Gui, "Fan Shijie," said, "Must we truly listen to him? These demands are far too childish!"

No one spoke, none wanted to serve as a warning to others. That ’Lu’ had countless spirits under his hands, he truly dared to decimate sects!

The Dragon Head-Raising Day of the second lunar month, meant to be an auspicious day for dragons soaring in the sky, yet the crowd was downtrodden, filled with frustration.

But at that moment, they suddenly looked up towards the sky.

They saw clusters of red auspicious clouds appearing, blazingly festive and lucky, all converging towards the north.

"Auspicious clouds!?"

All of them of distinguished origins, they immediately recognized what it was.

Even those who didn’t recognize it had seen it on their robes and utensils.

Shen Zhou people had always cherished the auspicious cloud pattern, but seeing the real thing was inevitably shocking. Particularly, as their hearts felt inexplicably joyful and festive, their minds were influenced!? freёweɓnovel_com

Jiang Shixiang trembled, "This is a Universal Celebration caused by the Will of Heaven and Earth! The auspicious clouds are gathering to the north, what has happened over there?"

At that moment, Lu Li was receiving a message from Xiaoyu: [Baby has a heartbeat!]
