“Buzz!!”
The green-robed elder walked quietly into the middle of the hidden tactical matrix, and the blood-colored veins were immediately activated. The suppressing power invaded his whole body in the blink of an eye, and the green-robed elder was instantly horrified to find that his cultivation had suppressed from the early stage of Jindan Realm to the early stage of Zhuji Realm.
At the same time, Su Li whose figure was petite appeared from the side, looking at the elder indifferently.
Her cultivation was limited, and it was her limit to make the cultivation of the green-robed elder decreased by an entire realm with a tactical matrix set by her in a short time. However, she didn’t know which stage would be stronger, the early stage of Zhuji Realm… or the eleventh hurdle of Lianqi Realm?
The green-robed elder, however, was a bit confused as he looked at Su Li, who was slowly approaching. Why would a young girl in Yunti Realm be here?
Although he couldn’t tell her exact bone age, he could deduce from his experiences that she could be by no means over eighteen years old.
He was unsure about the tricks to suppress the cultivation. Even when facing Su Li, he didn’t dare to use an excessive tone, but just took a deep breath and raised his head, saying aloud,
“Senior, what’s your meaning by plotting against me but sending your junior to see me?”
Seeing the old man’s reaction, Su Li smiled and teased incongruously with a young and tender voice, “Senior? I can’t take it, and there’s no one else here.”
Then, she took out the universe ring stolen from the treasury and sneered lightly, “I stole something from you; are you not going to do anything?”
The elder became more and more cautious after hearing this, and his expression was gloomy, “Little girl, for the sake of your senior, I won’t fight with you, but you won’t treat me like an idiot! The tactical matrix, which could’ve fooled me, could only be set up by at least a master, rather than a little girl in Yunti Realm like you.”
“Are you sure?”
Su Li smiled slightly and stretched out her right hand with her five fingers slightly opening, creating five faint black lines between her fingers, which coalesced into a complex and simple word “matrix” in the nothingness. Ordinary practitioners would get dizzy when catching sight of it.
“The seal of a master?”
The elder was dumbfounded. As a mid-grade matrix master, how couldn’t he recognize the meaning of the word “matrix”? But because of this, he couldn’t believe it.
Could a matrix master be in Yunti Realm?!
He would have never believed that those two things would appear on the same person before, but now the living example set by Su Li gave him a head-on blow so that he even forgot to hit out.
Suddenly, he shuddered and thought of the Destroy Thunder before. The evildoer… Wasn’t it standing right in front of him? Thinking back for a moment, he immediately found that this underground treasury was right below the place where the previous thunder for testing was gathered!
The elder got excited and trembled, pointing at Su Li, and saying, “You… you’re the one who brought down Destroy Thunder?!”
Em?
Su Li was confused about Destroy Thunder.
The ring of Reincarnation Mirror trembled and released a hint of thought to explain what had just happened. It seemed to claim the credit, but Su Li’s face was gloomy with a killing intention in her eyes.
Her body of evil ghost must not be known to anyone!
Seeing Su Li’s reaction, which proved that she admitted her intention indirectly, the elder immediately rejoiced and said, “Slow down! Young friend, we can cooperate…”
The elder couldn’t say anything more because Su Li had already attacked without saying anything.
The elder who put down his status and spoke well immediately became furious, “Damn it, I’m sincere, but you are unreasonable! Even if you’re an evildoer, I still don’t believe you can ignore and disobey the law of the cultivation circle to win me!”
The elder still didn’t have the intention to kill Su Li. Evildoers who were not accepted by natural law were too rare. Either they died right after their birth, or they grew up and became the existence he admired.
Since he met a young evildoer in Yunti Realm now, he had a different mind. If he could overawe and control her, when she grew up, he would be able to surprise the world. It would even be possible for him to become an old ancestor in Huashen Realm!
After he planned all this in his mind, the rage on his face disappeared. He reached out his hand with a smile to collide with Su Li’s. Even if his cultivation was suppressed into the early stage of Zhuji Realm, its power could not be withstood by someone in Yunti Realm.
The next moment — a raging black spiritual power surged!
The elder who had imagined Su Li would fly out backward immediately changed his expression drastically. He was knocked against the wall like a cannonball. All the protective matrix on the wall were immediately activated to keep the stability of the underground treasury.
“Ahem, ahem, ahem…”
Sliding down from the wall, the elder barely stoop up with blood spilling from his mouth and he coughed constantly. He looked at Su Li, who was nearing slowly, with horror in his eyes.
Was she really in Yunti Realm?
Apart from the underestimating the enemy, how could it be possible that the one in Yunti Realm knocked away the one at the early stage of Zhuji Realm?
The green-robed elder widened his eyes and instantly felt that he hadn’t lived until now.
So… was this the evildoer?
He couldn’t help but sign that no wonder every evildoer had the potential to become a Mighty, for their talents were so horrible from the beginning. When they were in Yunti Realm, they were comparable to the ordinary practitioners in Zhuji Realm. If so, would they reach Jindan Realm with just a little bit of practice?
He had never seen other young evildoers before, so, he was misguided right after Su Li attacked. He didn’t know that this evildoer in front of him was completely different from the other ordinary evildoers who attracted nature’s envy.
Noticing that the green-robed elder was in a daze and did not defend himself, Su Li stopped and frowned. She did not take the opportunity to attack again.
Or rather, she couldn’t attack.
Just now, as she stretched out her hand, a sense of crisis immediately came over her, so that she got goosebumps.
No more attacks, at least not in this place, she couldn’t.
Although nature’s punishment had gone, she had got the attention from it. If she dared to rerelease her pneuma and got its notice, it would be unknown whether she could escape the disaster.
So, she had to change the way.
She waved her hands in the nothingness, and a shadow of the word “slave” appeared in the air gradually. The pupils of the elder shrank as he came back to his senses and saw the word.
A seal for the slave!
If he accepted this, he would be reduced to Su Li’s slave for the rest of his life, and could not have the slightest thought of rebellion. Otherwise, he would be turned into a puddle of blood, and his soul would be scattered!
The elder struggled and tried to escape, but he was frozen as soon as he was about to move.
He might have forgotten that he was still stuck in the early stage of Zhuji Realm at this moment, and he was no match for Su Li at all. Since neither could he escape nor would die, what left for him…
“You’re familiar with the tactical matrix, so, you should recognize what this is.”
Su Li secretly sighed with relief, for it was not easy for her to condense the seal for the slave right now, “There are two paths before you: one is…”
“I accept!”
Before Su Li ever finished speaking, the green-robed elder had already opened his awareness sea and took the initiative to accept the seal for the slave. After absorbing the seal for the slave, he established a connection with Su Li, and his gaze at Su Li was full of respect. He stood up and bent over to serve her.
Su Li was slightly astonished, for it was the first time for her to see that a cultivator was so active to admit a master. Moreover, his real level was at Jindan Realm, which was much higher than hers.
Noticing Su Li’s confusion, the elder laughed embarrassedly, “Master, as a matter of fact, my real identity is unspeakable. It may be a better way for me to follow an evildoer like you.”
Su Li nodded slightly. With the abilities of knowing the existence of evildoers and being able to distinguish the ordinary thunder for testing from Destroy Thunder, the elder must not be simple.
“Do you have a name?”
As Su Li spoke, she walked towards the outside, and the green-robed elder followed her at once, “Master, my name is Lv You, a practitioner from Guyou Region.”
Su Li stopped her footsteps and frowned, “Guyou Region? The homeland of ghost practitioners?”
Lv You hadn’t expected Su Li had ever heard of Guyou Region and didn’t dare to lie, “Exactly, to be frank, I… am a ghost practitioner, too. However, the practitioners in Jiuzhou Region are… not friendly to ghost practitioners, so that I had to disguise myself with a secret method, which could cover me even when I am fighting.”
Could it cover people even then they were fighting?
Su Li got interested, for she had attracted the attention of natural law for releasing the pneuma. If she could perfectly cover it up when she fought…
“Do you still have that secret method?”
“Sure.”
Lv You took out a jade journal and drew the secret method for Su Li.
Su Li accepted the jade journal but didn’t take a close look with her psychic awareness. She just nodded and said, “I’ll take it, along with many other useful treasures in your treasury. I’ll compensate you later.”
Regarding this as a test, Lv You was frightened and waved his hands, “Are you kidding me, Master? All my belongings are yours, and there is no reason to compensate me.”
Su Li shook her head and didn’t say anything more.
She had her principles, and if Lv You did not admit her as his master, she would not have the slightest burden no matter how much she had robbed. But since he became her subordinate, she would change her ways to treat him.
After they came out from the well together, Su Li released her psychic awareness, and she was relieved to find that Fan Zisang hadn’t returned to Consort Ling’s place. She said rapidly,
“Give me your carrier rune.”
Lv You didn’t dare to ask the reason, and immediately took out a carrier rune of his own and handed it to Su Li.
Su Li put it away and left instantly, “If you have nothing else important to do, you can go to Huajian Sect and find a place outside to stay, and I will find you if necessary.”
“Yes, Master!”
After Su Li left, Lv You returned to the underground treasury and retrieved everything into the universe ring. Because of the secret method, he had to set up this treasury to store those items which affected the use of the secret method. He had never anticipated that he would have a master one day.
“Huajian Sect, I might’ve heard of this name. It seems to be a small sect. To avoid unnecessary attention, my master has hidden there. It is understandable.”
Thinking of this, Lv You destroyed the treasury and headed straight for the cave, where he had practiced before. To ensure safety, no trace should be left there.
Su Li monitored Fan Zisang’s route as she moved in the palace. She was several times faster than Fan Zisang.
“After the breakthrough of this level, something divine had been revealed. My speed is too much faster than those of practitioners in Zhuji Realm, and I have to ask Black Lotus Ring for clarification when it wakes up again.”
With her bodily movement, Su Li spent only dozens of breaths to return to the old palace. When Consort Ling and Mammy Hui saw her, a flash flickered across their eyes.
“Little Immortal, you’re finally back!”
