Su Li walked slowly out of the silent and pale fate gap with a fluttering clean dress made of black yarn.
The black runes cage floated behind Su Li. Ling Li was fettered and was unable to move in the cage. He was unwilling to admit defeat.
“Elder, I’m back.”
Su Li smiled gently as usual, but First Elder of Ling Family felt that there was a subaudition in her smile.
Now he was about to be set free. He didn’t think too much and gave her a palm-and-fist salute, “I’m so grateful for your help. If we really get out of this trouble, we will see you as our master. But we have a vendetta. We need to find our Young Lord…”
“Elder, don’t hurry to refuse me. Tell me how to get you out of here firstly.”
Su Li stopped the old man from continuing his words.
The old man nodded. When his eyes fixed on immobile Ling Li, his eyes were filled with hatred. He said in a relatively calm voice,
“Since the Tablet Keeper shows up, we can escape more easily! As long as the sword in the tablet is destroyed, the Demon Tablet will become weak. Even if there is no Inborn Divine Thunder, we can still reverse the power in it.”
Hearing this, Ling Li suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Su Li. He said in a cold voice, “Do you really want to let loose these evil spirits? Qingshui Circle will be in chaos!”
“Hahaha…”
Su Li laughed out loud. She looked down at the familiar but strange face of Ling Li. Then she leaned over and whispered, “Do you really think you are righteous? Lord of Evil, should I say you are naive or stupid?”
Ling Li was a little surprised. He had never thought that the person in Shengtian Shrine was righteous. But he didn’t doubt about being the Tablet Keeper. Could it be that…
“What do you mean?!”
He merely stared at Su Li. But Su Li averted her eyes and asked, “Elder, how to destroy the sword in the tablet?”
“This sword has been integrated with the Tablet Keeper. He is the sword, and the sword is him.”
The old man’s face turned cold, “Kill him and the sword will be destroyed automatically!”
Ling Li snorted, “You can just say you want me to die. But even I die, that sword will still exist. It could never be destroyed!”
“Ha-ha-ha… Stop cheating us. Do you think I will believe you?!”
Su Li’s face changed slightly and soon returned to be calm. She said apathetically, “I see. So…”
She approached the cage, and the runes immediately stood aside. Su Listopped in front of Ling Li, and she suddenly reached out to clutch his neck.
“Master!!”
Black Lotus was a bit anxious, “No. You’d better think carefully before you do that. He…”
“Shut up!”
Su Li gave a fierce look, “Lord of Evil, there are rumors that you were born to lust for women, and you owned so many concubines who raised numerous offspring for you. But you are so inhuman that you killed all your offspring by yourself. It was because you didn’t want anyone to threaten your status, right?”
Su Li choked him hard.
“Eh-hem…”
Ling Li couldn’t help but cough, but he didn’t change his expression. He just looked at Su Li quietly.
“If I say no, will you believe me? Won’t you…kill me?”
“Of course, not.”
Su Li squinted and came close to Ling Li’s face, “Because I won’t…believe every word you say!”
“No!”
Suddenly, a familiar scream came from Ling Li’s arms.
“Is…”
Su Li was a little surprised and then loosened her palm.
A frameless mirror, which was full of cracks, raced out from Ling Li’s arms and stopped in front of Su Li. Then a pale woman appeared in the mirror and urgently explained,
“He doesn’t even have one concubine. These rumors are all fake. They are lies made by Shengtian Shrine who aims to let him be its slave forever! Although he is the son of the head of Shengtian Shrine, the head didn’t regard him as a human.
Thousands of years ago, he came back with the son of my master, and the head of Shengtian Shrine was so angry that he wanted to execute Buwang instantly. If he hadn’t maneuvered as the Tablet Keeper, Buwang would have been…”
“Enough!”
Ling Li interrupted her. He stared at the Reincarnation Mirror.
Jing Xin flew forward and stopped on Su Li’s palm. She begged bitterly, “Please, don’t… don’t kill him.”
Su Li touched Jing Xin’s face gently with a smile. She transmitted the sound in a quiet voice, “I know you. You’ve been his side for thousands of years and had affection for him… But won’t you let your master down?”
Jing Xin trembled with tears. She whispered, “I… I have never asked too much. Senior, if you let him go, I will follow you. I am the treasure, Reincarnation Mirror. I will not be unworthy of you.”
“Jing Xin, stop talking.”
Ling Li couldn’t hide his tiredness. He closed his eyes and relaxed himself.
Tired.
So tired.
He really wanted to see Li.
Finally, at this moment… he could end his meaningless life.
Thousands of years later, where would Li be waiting for him?
Or else, she couldn’t forgive him and hided somewhere.
In his mind, he recollected the fragments of memories with Su Li in that void world. Then he felt a little warm.
“Are you daydreaming?”
Su Li stopped in front of him and asked in a clear voice.
Ling Li slowly opened his calm eyes. He was recollecting Li’s voice. Then he smiled, “Your voice sounds nice. But your voice still can’t equal that of…my wife.”
Hearing this, Su Li fell silent for a second.
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She turned around and snorted coldly, “Lord of Evil, even you are immersed in that fabricated world. It’s so ridiculous!”
The old man in the ice mound couldn’t understand why she still didn’t kill Tablet Keeper but chatted with him.
He was anxious. Considering Su Li’s strength, he did not dare to push her, so he could only stand aside to watch.
“If you die, your son, who is protected arduously by you, will fall into abyss again. Do you want to see that happen?”
Su Li held her fist in the other hand and asked.
Ling Li looked at Su Li questioningly. He was not a fool. At this moment, he finally perceived that the woman did not have a killing intent.
Why?
Standing in her position, there was no reason for her to let him go.
Maybe he understood something just now. He was silent for a moment and then said, “There is enough power to protect him.”
“A rabble that you and Fang Yuan rallied?”
Su Li sneered, “Using the name, Linli Building, is high treason. How dare you say it is enough with that little power?”
At this time, Ling Li contracted his pupils. He stared at Su Li’s face and breathed quickly with a trembling sound, “How can you know… Who…are you?”
“We have seen each other before, Lord of Evil.”
Su Li smiled and imprisoned Jing Xin into the space of Black Lotus Ring, “I beat you in Ghost Region. Do you forget about that so soon?”
“The descendant of Ghost Clan!”
Ling Li immediately remembered it and blurted out. Then the endless disappointment came to him. He did even forget to ask Su Li why she knew the existence of Linli Building.
No wonder he couldn’t rival her. This woman could even kill the Grand Elder of Han Sect. He had got nothing on her.
“My present name is Su Jiuzhou.” Su Li smiled faintly, “Soon, you will remember this name deeply. But now…”
Su Li turned around, “Elder, he is useful for me. Do you have a method to take out Lihen Sword without hurting his life?”
Although the old man was somewhat uncomfortable, he still replied, “It’s hard to do that, unless someone can completely master an Inborn Divine Thunder and manipulate it carefully to peel off the power of Lihen Sword from his body.”
Ling Li lost in thought. It turned out that he was closely associated with Lihen Sword. But the head of Shengtian Shrine said that it came from him body and was put it into his body again to continue his life. Was that a lie?
The old man didn’t expect that Su Li didn’t feel embarrassed but smiled breezily.
“So that’s it. It’s easy now… Su Bai, come out.”
“What can I do for you, Sister?”
The vortex of Cang Lei’s Cave appeared in the air, and then Su Bai in white came out of it. He was enclosed by green light, as if he were the immortal of thunder.
“Strip the other forces away from his body…”
Su Li enjoined him with circumspection. The other people including Ling Li were all stunned.
“This is…inborn thunder spirit!”
The old man was surprised, “Fellow Practitioner Su, the inborn thunder spirit could help us peel off Lihen Sword. He is Divine Thunder, and Divine Thunder is him. He has the ability of controlling thunder and lightning and also the force of thunder and lightning practiced by Human Clan. He is incomparable!”
“Sister’s decision is wise naturally.”
Su Bai looked at the old man with appreciation, and then he flew in front of Ling Li. Countless green thunder and lightning swarmed into Ling Li’s pores.
Ling Li was ready to bear the pain. His stiff body suddenly relaxed. He opened his eyes with surprise.
This power was not painful but a bit comfortable. He had never felt that thunder and lightning could be so gentle, which shuttled in his tendons and vessels. He felt limp and even a little warm.
“Humph! The power of Divine Thunder of Wood is naturally gentle. It is good luck.”
When the old man saw the reaction of Ling Li, he felt uncomfortable. Since Su Li was standing by his side, he couldn’t say too much.
Inborn thunder and lightning were powerful. When they entered Ling Li’s body, Lihen Sword fled in disorder. Although Lihen Sword was cunning, it couldn’t resist such a strong power.
Soon, the scarlet power exuded from Ling Li’s pores. It turned into illusory sword shadow to escape.
Su Li snorted. Blue lightning flashed out from her fingertips. Then it turned into a water dungeon which enclosed the illusory sword shadow. And it couldn’t make a move under the suppression of the dungeon.
“Divine Thunder of Water!”
The old man was astonished again, “She has two different kinds of Divine Thunder. Is she the Lord of Fenglei Sect now? No. Divine Thunder of Fire and Divine Thunder of Earth survived in Fenglei Sect in those days. It did not match!”
And over time, the sword shadow in the water dungeon gradually revealed its original appearance.
A thing which would horrify the old man happened!
