Chapter 2908 - Rules of Life and Death
He couldn\'t help but chuckle, "Rex Mundi, you’re truly interesting, much to my shock. I\'ll be frank with you. If I could get the honor of becoming Lin Ke\'s stepdad, I\'d wake up every day smiling. However, you brought all those people with you, so I have a feeling that you aren’t just here to make a new child. If you get them to leave and have all the wonderians leave as well, I’ll at least be able to trust that your offer is sincere."
Hearing that, Demoness Yin gently smiled. "It\'s okay if you don\'t trust me, since I don\'t trust you either. That\'s why I\'ll simply break apart the Sky Palace Formation and take you with me. With your precious subjects\' lives in my hand, there\'s no way you wouldn\'t repay your debt!"
How brutish. Tianming could tell that she was having fun at his expense. It was truly unbelievable that a rex mundi would do something like that. He also saw Mister Taihe above the Sky Palace Formation from the corner of his eye. It looks like he\'s setting up a formation! Can it really destroy the Sky Palace Formation?
The enemy didn\'t have any astralships with them, so Tianming wasn\'t too nervous about it yet. However, he did feel rather unnerved by how serious Mister Taihe was acting. If it really was pointless, why would he bother with all that busywork? Not to mention, more and more wonderians were gathering outside the formation, all itching to kill. Demoness Yin was the only one who appeared friendly and smiling.
The threat that the Sun’s denizens were facing grew more and more. Meng Ying, especially, shot Tianming the most evil glare ever. "Li Tianming, let Fengqing Youmeng and Li Fan go. If you surrender now, your subjects will suffer less. Once the Sky Palace Formation is disabled, even if you choose to surrender, my army of astral gods will overwhelm you and cost you trillions of lives at the very least. Their blood will all be on your hands!"
Tianming didn\'t respond at all.
Meng Ying continued, "Li Tianming, Lin Xiaodao, and everyone behind you, open your eyes wide. Mister Taihe is setting up a Starshatter Formation, one of the most technologically advanced formations from Myriadpath Valley. It only takes a few days to start working. By then, we’ll only need around a million astral gods to break this turtle shell you\'re hiding behind. Then we wonderians will charge in with ten times the number of astral gods you have, with countless more divine wonders. Not a single one of you will survive!
"Surrender now, and the common folk may survive! Our patience wanes by the day. If you make us wait until your formation breaks apart, we’ll only be able to calm our rage by exterminating all of you! We’ll kill a trillion each day, so ten days will cost you ten trillion lives! You’d better start thinking how many days you\'re willing to wait before you surrender!
"Don\'t call us cruel! It\'s all Li Tianming\'s fault for antagonizing us when he couldn\'t afford to. He was the one that caused all of you to be drawn in! How can someone as unskilled and weak as him go making enemies all over the place? Now that an army ten times the size of your forces has arrived, if he still doesn\'t wise up and surrender, you\'ll all get the death sentence!
"Even Yi Daiyan has given up on you! Your stubbornness is useless! If Li Tianming doesn\'t surrender, he\'s saying that he wants all of you dead! He’d rather sacrifice all of you for his own pathetic life!"
Meng Ying\'s words grew more and more heinous, and he could only imagine how shaken the people within the formation would be with the threat of death dangling over their heads. After all, he had noticed that Tianming\'s ridiculous strength had something to do with the people\'s faith in him, and this was the plan that he’d devised to cause a rift between them.
"He\'s made the choice to trade ten trillion lives for his own! Is that the person you placed all your hopes on? See him for what he truly is! Hahahaha!" Meng Ying manically laughed, joined by all the wonderians as well. Many of the other foreign elites also coldly chuckled.
Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "Save your spit. I have the Sky Palace Formation shut so tight that your voice can\'t reach the others from the outside."
"Shameless!" Meng Ying almost lost it. Not a single person inside had heard his speech!
"My shamelessness is utterly dwarfed by yours. You were the ones that led your fellow wonderians to their deaths for your own personal ambitions! You’ve already lost half a million astral gods to us. Not to mention, don\'t think I don\'t know what you came here for. Do you think you can take Little Fish\'s power for your own if I announce it to everyone else here?" Tianming said, glaring at him.
"You!" That was a clear threat to Meng Ying, but he could do naught but grit his teeth in frustration. After a while, he said, "The later you surrender, the more people you’ll lose. It\'s fine if the rest can\'t hear it. I\'ll let you suffer with the burden of that knowledge! A trillion per day! Every moment you delay means countless more people will die. Let\'s see what kind of hope you are to your people."
Tianming\'s eyes were bloodshot, radiating killing intent. Meng Ying\'s shamelessness was forcing him into a desperate corner. The knowledge that a trillion people would end up dying for each day they waited would no doubt shake his cultivation path of sovereignhood. The foundation of his power was his people, but they were his weakness at the same time. Threatening his subjects was the best thing one could do to enrage Tianming.
However, it wasn\'t the first time that he had been threatened like that. He wouldn\'t let it get to him so easily. While Meng Ying continued to freak out, Tianming had Xiaodao bring someone out from the Xiao Nu Gourd: Li Fan. His body had been mostly shattered, but his cosmic charts hadn’t been completely destroyed yet. As such, they had formed a new body for him, albeit a really weak one. Tianming held him up by the hair and drew his sword.
