Su Li was sitting in the hall on the first floor. She was unsure whether her blood poison had diminished, but her only certainty was that even a Junior Emperor had no way out about her poison. Even though her blood poison had diminished a lot, it was also very likely to achieve the effect of poisoning the one in the Jindan Realm.
Without waiting too long, Su Li saw the female practitioner who had just left and was rushing over, with the unfaded fear in her eyes. Immediately, she calmed down.
“Senior, our administrator invites you to the top floor for a detailed discussion.”
Su Li didn’t scare in the slightest and chuckled, “It seems to receive a good effect.”
It was far superior to that!
The female practitioner wore a sincere smile and led the way respectfully. After receiving the senior in such a position, her reward might be beyond expectation.
A while later, they arrived at the top floor, and the administrator was already waiting here. At this moment, he didn’t mind Su Li’s attire and quickly stood up to salute her, “The administrator of the branch in the Fanglong City of Ruyi Market, greetings to senior.”
With a light response, Su Li walked past the bowed elder and said casually, “Rise. How is the effect of the poison?”
The elder wasn’t surprised by Su Li’s attitude. This was the attitude of a strong person. If Su Li showed a meek attitude like she was in front of her adoptive mother, the elder would suspect whether she picked up the bottle of poison with good luck.
Although the elder didn’t sense Su Li’s cultivation, how could she be a mortal with her noble grace in a long-standing high status?
“Senior, our branch has no poison maker, so we can only test with demon beasts. Just now, a demon beast in the Jindan Realm swallowed a drop of your blood poison and only persisted a few breaths. Then it melt into the blood and died, without even leaving a corpse. If you want to continue the test, I’m afraid you will have to go to our bigger branch.”
After finishing the answer, the elder’s heart thumped like a drum. Even himself wasn’t satisfied with his test result. If this senior got angry…
“All right. The Jindan Realm is enough.”
Su Li casually picked up her porcelain bottle on the table and unplugged it. Then she poured half of it into an empty wine glass and handed the glass to the elder.
The elder immediately stepped back in terror and crashed into the cabinet with a pale face.
Seeing this, Su Li gave a low laugh, “This is your branch’s returns, what do you think?”
The elder wiped his forehead and swallowed his saliva, forcing a smile, “You give too much! Even 1,000 demon beasts in the Jindan Realm are not worth this glass! I don’t dare to covet so much. Senior, if you have other instructions, I will take them upon myself!”
“You’re a sensible person.”
Su Li’s tone remained casual, “I need you for a quick errand.”
After a pause, the elder calmed himself down and said respectfully, “Senior, go ahead, please.”
In the evening, Su Li sat at the dining table and waited for her adoptive mother to return, with her feet up. Her stomach was growling with hunger, but she still waited. Her clear eyes fixed on the courtyard gate.
Until late at night, the gate was opened quietly, and Su Li’s adoptive mother walked out of the darkness, with a frighteningly cold face.
“Mother, you’re back!”
Su Li’s eyes lit up. She immediately jumped down from the stool and trotted to hug her adoptive mother.
Zhang Yueru was stunned and looked at a table of cold food, “Are you still waiting for me? Haven’t you eaten yet?”
Su Li bit her lips and nodded pitifully, “Mother, you’re back so late. I’m starving.”
A trace of touch flashed in Zhang Yueru’s eyes but was soon covered with coldness.
The path to immortality couldn’t be affected by emotions.
She had already found a route of retreat, so it was time for her to say goodbye to this girl.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yueru gave a gentle smile and carried Su Li into the house, “It’s my fault. Let’s have supper together.”
This was the last supper.
Zhang Yueru added this word inwardly. Her smile faded gradually as she saw the girl in her arms nod cheerfully.
This terrible chance wasted her five years! Crap!
Su Li quickly heated all the food and placed them on the table, with steam rising.
“It smells delicious!” Zhang Yueru narrowed her eyes with a smile and praised.
At the same time, she thought to herself, “Have a hearty meal before you die, so you won’t suffer.”
Hearing Zhang Yueru’s praise, Su Li grinned at once and picked up a duck blood clot, “Mother, try my cooking!”
“Well, you eat too.”
The house was filled with the aroma of food and a warm picture of a mother and daughter dining in harmony.
The smell of duck blood wafted through in the seasoning, which caused Zhang Yueru’s servant hiding in the dark to frown.
The practitioners’ five senses were magnified, so they hated food made of blood the most. The servant didn’t know how his mistress endured it for five years.
Su Li picked up her bowel and took a bite of the duck blood. When she saw her adoptive mother finish the whole duck blood clot, she couldn’t help but smile more brilliantly.
“Silly girl, what are you giggling about?”
Zhang Yueru picked up food for Su Li again and thought that she had a conscience among the practitioners. If it were other practitioners, they would kill Su Li without caring too much.
While watching Zhang Yueru eat a lot of dishes, Su Li stopped smiling and sighed, “If only you are my real mother.”
“Silly girl.”
Zhang Yueru wanted to put down her tableware and stroke Su Li’s head. All of a sudden, she frowned, and her hands began to tremble.
Clatter!
Zhang Yueru’s bowl fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. With her blurry eyes, she saw that Su Li was still smiling.
“If you were my real mother, I wouldn’t have to poison you.”
“You…!”
Zhang Yueru screamed and melted into a pool of blood in a twinkle.
Su Li sat at the table and tapped her fingers. She said in a calm voice, “It’s okay.”
In the cold wind, the elder of Ruyi Market came with a complicated expression. At this moment, he could be sure that this girl in front of him had no cultivation, but she spoke looking as if an old fox just occupied the girl’s body.
Since Zhang Yueru was dead, he certainly didn’t meddle in the matter. On the contrary, he showed a more respectful look.
“Senior, a flying demon beast is ready. So now you can go to the transportation hub, Pingshan City.”
“Good job.”
Su Li stood up and walked to him. She pointed behind him her and instructed, “Clean it up. I don’t want to be known.”
The elder’s awe increased. After a wave, several figures entered the house, and soon a painful scream rang out.
“What about the Jin family?”
There was a touch of worry in the elder’s eyes, but he still asked, “They are the top cultivation family in Fanglong City. It is inconvenient for our Ruyi Market to deal with them.”
With a calm face, Su Li flung her sleeves and walked out of the courtyard gate, “Let’s leave before we get into trouble. I’m pressed for time.”
The elder sighed with relief and hurried to follow behind her.
A while later, Su Li sat on a flying demon beast and clung to the rein. If she was right…
Clatter!
The flying demon beast opened its swings and flew to the sky. At the moment when it carried Su Li away from Fanglong City, everything before her eyes shattered, including the flying demon beast itself.
Su Li wasn’t flustered because she had retrieved her full cultivation at this moment and stood in the air.
As long as she left Fanglong City, the illusion would be immediately broken.
Her guess was indeed correct.
Su Li looked around and saw all pure white without an exit.
“What are you looking for?”
A blurred pretty figure suddenly appeared, “Exit?”
Su Li’s pupils shrank slightly. She took a step back and bowed to salute, “Greetings, Senior Duan.”
If she was right, the person in front of her should be Star Master, Duan Hongchen!
“I didn’t want to come to see you. After all, my movement will put you in the attention of many existences.”
Duan Hongchen’s words puzzled Su Li but made her feel creepy.
“Descendant of the Undying Clan and the Supreme Human Clan. You don’t seem to know that you are a special existence. You symbolize the life level of our Human Clan was broken, but you were stolen on the day you were born and disappeared.”
Su Li looked confused. Was Duan Hongchen talking about her?
“But the news I got in this circle is… my existence was created by an evil person called Bai Mo.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the blurred pretty figure shook her head and chuckled, “No one can create your existence, not even me. But I…am already standing at the top of the universe.”
“So Bai Mo… is a thief!”
Su Li was shocked and almost out of her mind by Duan Hongchen’s information, but could the Master of the Universe lie to her?
“For tens of thousands of years, the Undying Clan and the Human Clan haven’t given up looking for you, but I never expect you to be taken to such a remote corner. If you hadn’t chosen to challenge the Star Path, I wouldn’t have been able to find you.”
“You seem to be different now. You are tainted with the aura of the Death Region Clan and use it perfectly. It even overpowers your Undying Clan’s bloodline, so odd.”
Duan Hongchen didn’t continue to explain more, “You seem to be in a bad situation. After meeting me, the situation will be even worse. As soon as you solve the problems in this circle, you must leave quickly without lingering. Now, I will personally reward you for passing through the illusion.”
The blurred pretty figure flashed and touched between Su Li’s eyebrows before she could react.
Instantly, the majestic and fierce information and energy wrapped her into a ball. And at the same time, the blurred pretty figure shattered and disappeared.
A few breaths later, dense huge eyes suddenly emerged in this pure white space, as if looking for something. But because of the white silk wrap, Su Li’s existence wasn’t seen.
Soon those eyes dispelled with a cold snort.
…
Time passed in a tense situation, and in the blink of an eye, it was two months later.
This day, the earth of the whole Qingshui Circle was covered by blood-red veins. And at the same moment, Fang Huaji opened his eyes, and his majestic voice spread throughout the whole Qingshui Circle along the veins.
“All living beings in the Qingshui Circle, I’m the old ancestor of the Tianhe Sect, Fang Huaji. Whether you are a practitioner or a mortal, now I must let you know that the Qingshui Circle is at a time of life and death.
“If Bai Mo takes control of this circle, it will be a disaster for all living beings. I made painstaking efforts and found a way, but I have little chance of winning by fighting alone. Now, I need your help.
“I used to be the Head of the Qi Hall in the Qingshui Palace and had unique skills in refining weapons.”
As soon as Fang Huaji mentioned the Qingshui Palace, the natural law felt provoked and blasted down countless thunder, shining the whole Tianhe Sect as a bright day!
Bai Su closed his eyes but heard no thunder. He opened his eyes slowly and was surprised to see the thunder transformed into a blinding light in Fang Huaji’s hands.
