Chapter 24-Revisiting the Sun (3)
Chapter 24-Revisiting the Sun (3)
"What do you want to do?" Li Xiaoyao asked in shock.”
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor led the way, and the demons retreated behind him, looking at Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao had just fought a great battle and his entire body was soaked in sweat. He had exhausted all his energy. If he were to fight the demons again, he would probably die here. Moreover, Lin Yueru was seriously injured, and Zhao Ling 'er's spell could no longer be used.
"What do you mean by this?!" Li Xiaoyao raised his sword in front of him. Want to rely on more to win and reap the benefits?”
" No, no," the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said." No matter how bold we are, we wouldn't dare to fight against the person who defeated the Guardian Deity of Prison!"”
"Then you guys are…"
" These are our friends in the Shifter Sealing Tower," the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said." The battle between you and the Prison Guardian Ming King has provoked everyone. Please help us leave this place!" Since you can defeat Ming Wang, you must have the ability!”
" Well…I don't know how to leave this place…" Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly." Besides, I'm doing this to save Ling 'er." Everyone in the Locking Tower, if you have any evil deeds, even if you leave the tower, I can't guarantee your safety.”
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor hurriedly said," You're mistaken. The demons that are still alive were all caught due to their bad luck. They didn't commit any evil deeds at all. At most, they used spells to torture people. It was just a joke. Who knew that they would be captured by the people of Mount Shu?"”
A palm-sized beauty said timidly,""Yeah, I was just joking with the examinees and came out of the book. Who knew that he would faint from fear and even hire a bunch of Taoist priests to cast spells to capture me.”
The Immortal in the Book said,"There is a beauty as beautiful as jade in the book. If these scholars don't pay attention to themselves, who will blame them?"”
"I'm even more wronged!" said another man with only a head. I couldn't even be a rock when a passerby sat on me. I was so angry that I bit him. I was also thrown into the pagoda by the stupid Taoist priest of Mount Shu!”
"What is this? At least I bit someone. I was a tree spirit that was conferred the title of Emperor Qin Shihuang. They actually went to chop down that tree. It was useless for them to see the golden plate on my body. They even threw me into the stove to burn me. I was so hot that I ran out and was also treated as a bad demon!”
"I'm the unlucky one…No, I'm the most wronged…"
All of a sudden, all the demons fought to be the first to speak out about the injustice that had happened in the past hundred years.
"Shut up!" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor shouted angrily, and the demons quieted down.
"I'm enough!" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said. Young Master Li, when he first entered the pagoda, he heard that he could leave after eating ninety-nine people or a thousand demons. Those demons who committed all kinds of evil in the world went around to eat, while those demons who did not want to hurt themselves hid and did not participate in the killing. Over the past few hundred years, those evil demons have already eaten each other up. The rest who are still alive are all hiding. They have never harmed anyone. You can rest assured and let us out. We will definitely spread your greatness everywhere. In the future, the Demon Realm will respect and help you, forever remembering your kindness.”
"There's no need to thank me. The problem is that I don't know how to get out."”
Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor and the demons were greatly disappointed.
"Do we really have to find ninety-nine humans or a thousand demons and eat them before we can leave?" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said with a long face.”
"I'm a vegetarian. What should I do?" One of the demons said with a bitter face.”
"I'm afraid of blood!" said another demon.
" I can't eat without dew…"
"Heavenly Ghost Emperor, haven't you eaten humans and demons before?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
"That's only if the other party is willing to let me eat it!" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor sighed. Our Heavenly Ghoul Tribe takes it as an honor to be eaten by them. It means that we are one with them and we want to have each other's advantages. As for those people, I ate them to repay their kindness. Calling me cannibalism for no reason is a great insult!”
Zhao Ling 'er said," Everyone, please don't have the idea of eating humans and demons. Even if you eat enough humans and demons, you still don't know how to get out!" Eating 99 people or 1,000 demons, this rumor was probably a vicious plan. The intention was for the demons locked in the tower to eat each other.”
As soon as he said this, the contemplative ghost could not help but say,"That makes sense…Why didn't I think of it before?”
"There's nothing difficult in the world," Zhao Ling 'er said. Although this Shifter Sealing Tower was said to imprison countless demons, none of them could escape. However, since it could be created, there must be a way to break it. As long as everyone gathered their knowledge, they would definitely think of a way.”
" Hmm…Alright," the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said with a frown." I'll contribute my wisdom too. Let's think of a way!"”
Li Xiaoyao thought to himself, Your intelligence is only that little, it doesn't matter whether you contribute or not.”
Before he could say what he was thinking, the Immortal from the Book said,"Heavenly Ghost Emperor, you don't have to. Such a profound question, how can you think of it?”
"Senior Immortal of Books, do you know how to get out?" Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.”
The Immortal from the Book was very respectful when he saw Li Xiao Yao. He said,""I know a little about the story behind this pagoda.”
"Old Bookworm, if you knew, why didn't you get out?" The Heavenly Ghost Emperor said angrily. Aren't you still hiding inside?"
The Immortal from the Book glared at him and said,"Rascal Head, speak more politely!" This old man is now an immortal!"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor laughed and pointed at him.""You're just a low-grade little demon, and you dare to call yourself an immortal! When did you become an immortal?"
The Immortal from the Book laughed and said,"Ha, my title of Immortal from the Book was given to Miss Ling's husband personally. You have no choice but to admit it!"”
"To Miss Ling's husband?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned. Me?"
"Yes, it's you," the Immortal in the Book said respectfully. Miss Ling 'er was the direct descendant of Goddess Nvywa. Although she was not listed in the Immortal List, it was recorded in detail in the ancient books of the human world. This was called the " plain title ". The so-called plain title was respected even if it was not a king. Confucius was respected as the " plain king " in the world to show that although he did not wear the yellow robe, the kingly way spread throughout the world and did not decline for thousands of years. Compared to the self-proclaimed Ghost Emperor, he was tens of thousands of times more superior. Miss Ling 'er's status is equal to that of humans and demons. You are her husband, so your status is naturally the same as hers. Your words are the divine decree, the golden rule. If you call me Senior Immortal of Books, then I'm an Immortal!”
The Sky Ghost Emperor couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and said,""So what if you have a backer?"
"Since you know the way out of the tower, please tell me quickly."”
"Yes, if my husband, Miss Holy Spirit, wants me to say it, the Immortal of Books will naturally obey.”The Immortal in the Book pointed at the sword formation and said,"This pagoda was built by Emperor Wu of Liang 500/14 years ago. He gathered all the diamond and white jade in the world and spent 20 years to build it. He also invited countless eminent monks and masters to set up countless forbidden spells inside and outside the pagoda. After hundreds of years of change, this pagoda was taken over by the Sword and Fairy Sect. Theoretically speaking, there was only an entrance to the tower, no exit. Moreover, the walls on all four sides could not be damaged by divine weapons, lightning strikes, or fire, let alone immortal spells and curses. Only by attacking the weak points in its structure could everyone get out.”
"You mean…to destroy this pagoda from the inside?" Zhao Ling 'er asked.”
The Book Immortal said,"Miss Saint Spirit is wise! That's right, it had to be destroyed from the inside. Do you see the eleven huge sword pillars around us? This was the lowest level of the Shifter Sealing Pagoda. The giant swords made of refined iron were the pillars that supported the pagoda. Seven of the eleven giant swords were arranged in the direction of the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper Pan Dragon Formation. The remaining three were arranged in the direction of the divine dragon's tail, locking it down. The largest sword beside it was just right to nail the dragon head, so it became a flying dragon trapped on land, with the sky above and the land below.”
"That's easy!" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said happily. Let's work together to break all these sword pillars!”
The Immortal from the Book rolled his eyes at him and said,"Rascal Head, use your brain!" The pillar was supported from the bottom. What was the use of cutting off the sword pillar above?”
"Then…then you mean…" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said.
The immortal in the book said,"There must be a support point for these sword pillars under the Demon Transformation Pool here." If someone were to dive down and find these locations to destroy, it would be difficult for this tower to not collapse!”
"What a joke!" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor shouted. Who would go? We can't stand even a drop of this demon-transforming water. If we dive in, our entire bodies will be melted!”
"If even a big, brainless fellow like you can think of it, then the person who built the tower back then naturally also thought of it. Therefore, the person who designed this tower poured the Demon Dissolving Water into the bottom of the tower to prevent us from escaping from the bottom of the tower. On the other hand, it was to protect these sword pillars from being corroded. Hehe…But, they never expected that someone would be able to reach the lowest level!”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Li Xiaoyao.
"You mean…I'll destroy the sword pillar?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
The immortal in the book said,"The Demon Transformation Water is fatal to demons, but harmless to humans.”
Li Xiaoyao said," Hmm…Alright, I'll go down, but I'll have to destroy seven pillars in one go. I'm afraid my swimming skills aren't enough to support it."”
A wet yao stood out, holding a wet cloth, and said,"Benefactor, I'm a water-kind spirit creature. I've been in the tower for hundreds of years, and I haven't used this qi-gathering thread. You can tie it around its mouth and nose, and it can breathe in the water.”
Li Xiaoyao took it and said,"Thank you!"”
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao tied the qi-gathering thread that was as light as a dark wing to his face and was about to jump into the water. However, he was bounced back by a wave of zhenqi just as he jumped.
"Ah!" Li Xiaoyao stood up straight and was a little surprised.
"Husband, Miss Saint Spirit, I haven't finished…" The Book Immortal said.
"Why didn't you fart once and for all?" the Heavenly Ghost Emperor said angrily.”
The Immortal in the Book said," Sigh, you guys are too impatient. This Monster Transformation Pond looks like water, but it's not water on the surface. It's a layer of extremely sticky, transparent grease. With Miss Holy Spirit's husband's figure, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for him to dive in. However, the pool water here was flowing slowly. If it was at the water outlet, where the flow was more intense and the oil layer was thinner, he should be able to dive down.”
"Where is the water outlet?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
The Immortal in the Book said," I don't know about that. I've come here to observe the surface of the water before, but it's like a mirror. The hair I lost melted in an instant, and I can't see where it's flowing. I can only ask everyone to look carefully. If you see a small whirlpool, it should be it."”
After saying this, many of the bolder yao leaned against the pool, wanting to stare out of the whirlpool. Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at the water surface. After the Guardian Deity of Prison was smashed into pieces by Li Xiaoyao, many dust fragments floated on the surface of the Demon-Transforming Lake. They seemed to be motionless, but if one looked carefully, they would see that they were indeed flowing in the same direction at an extremely slow speed.
"Found it, found it!" A demon shouted.
"Where is it?" another demon asked. Where is it?"
"I want to see…Aiyo!"
The demon squeezed the demon and almost pushed the demon in front into the Demon Transforming Water. Fortunately, the other demons pulled it back in time.
Li Xiaoyao said," I'll go down now. All of you, step back a little so that you won't get splashed by the Demon-Transforming Water."”
The demons hurriedly took a few steps back. Li Xiaoyao was about to jump down when Zhao Ling 'er said,""I'll go too."
" You…" Lin Yueru said," Your body is already weak. It's better not to…"
" It's alright," Zhao Ling 'er said." The Demon Transformation Pool is harmless to me. The Prison Guardian Ming King was afraid that I would escape, so he locked me on the sword pillar." You're the one who's heavily injured. Stop talking.”
Lin Yueru struggled to get up and said,""Who said…I'm heavily injured? If you can do it, I can definitely do it too…"
"You're all injured quite badly. I'll go down alone." Heavenly Ghost Emperor, please take care of them."”
Without waiting for Zhao Ling 'er and Lin Yueru to speak, Li Xiaoyao had already bitten his sword and jumped into the water.
After passing through the layer with slightly stronger Yin energy, he saw many thick and heavy stone pillars under the water. The Seven Star Pan Dragon Pillars stood quietly in the water. Li Xiaoyao swam over. The dragon carvings on each pillar were different. Some were five-elephant divine dragons, some were majestic, some were fierce, and some were ugly. However, they were all lifelike. As the water rippled, they seemed to be about to soar into the sky.
Li Xiaoyao held his sword in his hand and infused all his Genuine Qi into the sword. With a strong and fierce aura, he struck the giant pillar!
Although the sword Qi was only able to exert half of its power due to the water resistance, it still managed to crack the sword pillar.
Li Xiaoyao was half happy and half worried. He was happy because it seemed that the person who built it must have limited ability. Since it was built to prevent the demons from escaping, there was no other danger under the water except for the Demon Dissolving Water. What worried him was that it was not difficult to destroy the seven pillars. He needed to use his strength, but it was hard to say whether he had enough internal strength to destroy the seven pillars one by one.
Li Xiaoyao remembered what the Immortal from the Book had said. Seven of the eleven pillars were branches, and these seven pillars must have a main branch. If he destroyed it, the other six pillars would also break.
Li Xiaoyao swam into the sword formation and observed it carefully. The seven sword pillars were all exactly the same, as if there was no difference in size.
Li Xiaoyao looked up and saw the largest sword pillar, which was also the pillar that the immortal from the book said nailed the dragon's head.
If it was destroyed, the dragon head would be removed, and the flying dragon would be able to soar into the sky. The other ten pillars would not be of much use.
Regardless of whether this guess was correct or not, Li Xiao Yao decided to take a gamble.
Li Xiaoyao quickly swam to the largest sword pillar, gathered all his strength, and slashed at the pillar.
The Seven Stars Sword was indeed worthy of being the Sect Leader's sword. After this sword strike, a crack appeared on the giant technique, and the sword body was as sharp as ever, without any damage. Li Xiaoyao gathered his strength and slashed again. After a few attacks, the crack became bigger and bigger, and a faint thunder came from underground. The low hum that came from underground caused small ripples to appear on the water surface. All the demons by the Monster Transformation Pond held their breaths and focused, not daring to make a sound as they stared at the water surface.
The more Li Xiaoyao hacked at the fence pillar, the louder the roar became. It seemed that the trapped dragon had noticed the movement and was anxious to escape.
All of a sudden, the ground shook violently. Li Xiaoyao lost his balance and was pushed back by the current. He was about to swim back when a loud explosion suddenly sounded. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The entire hall shook violently. Clouds and smoke rose. A thousand-mile long dragon broke through the air and flew out. Lightning flashed across the sky and earth. The red scales were like a volcanic eruption, rushing into the sky!
There were sword pillars on the dragon's neck and body. Looking from afar, there were indeed ten swords stabbed into the vital parts of the dragon's body. Thousands of lightning bolts wrapped around the dragon's body, and the earth and rocks fell one after another. The entire ground sank. Li Xiaoyao was shocked and his entire body was dragged down by the rapid vortex. He hurriedly tried to circulate his Qi to swim upstream, but how could he deal with the pulling force of the big hole that the dragon had created by crashing into him alone?
The demons in the hall were even more terrified. The ground cracked, the ceiling collapsed, and the entire Demon Sealing Tower shook. The giant dragon broke through the top of the tower and crashed into it. Under the strong light, the fiery red dragon had already cut through the sky and flew towards the blue sky!
The giant tower that was knocked askew swayed. The foundation was empty, and the entire tower fell to the side.
The demons in the tower were screaming and flying, all of them running towards the place where they broke through the air. Zhao Ling 'er hugged the heavily injured Lin Yueru and exclaimed,""Brother Xiaoyao!"
"Li Xiaoyao, come out quickly!"
As the Shifter Sealing Tower fell to the side, Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling 'er were also thrown into the pool. The two of them could not stabilize themselves and were thrown into the water while screaming. Zhao Ling' er was still hugging Lin Yueru tightly. She held her breath and almost fainted.
A hand suddenly grabbed her. It was Li Xiaoyao. At this moment, there was another violent wave in the water. Li Xiaoyao desperately grabbed Zhao Ling 'er, and Zhao Ling' er also hugged Lin Yueru tightly. The three of them were thrown out by the huge wave!
Suddenly, a huge rock smashed towards the three of them. Li Xiaoyao's vision blurred, and he didn't know what was happening…
If he was able to capture Zhao Ling 'er at the last moment, he wouldn't have any regrets even if he died.
However, wouldn't it be better if he could live peacefully with Zhao Ling 'er and Lin Yu' eru?
Perhaps there was a destiny in life. He could only go this far. If he went any further, it would be forced.
What was the boundary between happiness and regret? Li Xiaoyao was also confused.
Sometimes he saw Zhao Ling 'er's gentle smile, and sometimes he saw Lin Yu' eru's fierce expression. He gradually saw that the person standing in front of him was Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru said,""Brother Li, my mother wants to see you. I'll take you to see her, okay?”
"Aiyo, I'm very tired. Let's talk about it next time!" Li Xiaoyao said casually.”
" Sigh, I really can't let you go," Lin Yueru said with a faint smile." But…forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything and live a good life with Sister Ling 'er!"”
She turned around and was about to leave when Li Xiaoyao said,""Where are you going?"
Lin Yueru turned around and smiled." I'm going to look for my mother. Don't follow me."”
After saying that, Lin Yueru walked into the darkness. Li Xiaoyao's heart ached.""Hey! Wait, don't rush…"
Lin Yu 'eru had already disappeared. Li Xiaoyao's heart ached as he shouted,""Yueru, don't go!"
This pain woke Li Xiaoyao up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw wooden beams on the roof. His upper body was wrapped in bandages and he was lying on a bamboo bed.
Before Li Xiaoyao could fully recover from his shock, an old voice sounded beside him,""Moon God bless, you've finally woken up!”
Li Xiaoyao turned to look at the person. The person's face was full of wrinkles and she wore a forehead band. She was a kind old woman.
"This is…" Li Xiaoyao said.
"It's my house," the old woman said.
"Where…where are they?" Li Xiaoyao asked hurriedly.”
The old granny seemed to know what he wanted to ask and said,""The two ladies are in another room…"
Li Xiaoyao ignored the pain in his body and struggled to get off the bed. He held onto the wall and said,"Take me to see them…Ouch!”
The old granny said," Your injuries are not light. You're walking around. Be careful not to break your bones again!"”
When Li Xiaoyao got off the bed, he felt suffocated and almost couldn't breathe. He still said with all his might," I…I will be careful. Please…let me see them…"
The old granny looked troubled. After a while, she said,"Alright then."
She handed a wooden cane to Li Xiaoyao and asked him to walk slowly while she led the way to a room. She pushed the door open and said,"Let's go in."
Li Xiaoyao saw Zhao Ling 'er lying on one of the stone beds with a pale face. Her lower body was still in the shape of a snake. The strange thing was that the old woman did not look scared or surprised at all, as if she was used to seeing such monsters.
Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and leaned against Zhao Ling 'er's bed. He was so sad that his eyes turned red and tears flowed down. He smiled and called out,""Ling 'er, Ling' er!"
"She can't hear you," the old woman said.”
"What?" Li Xiaoyao was shocked. Ling 'er couldn't hear him? Why?"
"Although she is weak, she is strong as a mother. She has been gathering all the true qi in her body to protect the fetus in her stomach. As long as this qi doesn't dissipate, coupled with my spirit herbs, it won't be a problem for her to recover in ten days to half a month.”
"Thank you, thank you, Senior!" Li Xiaoyao was relieved.”
"Don't be happy too early! Whether her body could recover was still a big problem!”
"What?"
"Mortal diseases can be treated with mortal medicine," the old granny said. An immortal's sword could only be saved with immortal medicine. It was impossible to save her and her son without special immortal medicine.”
"Immortal medicine?" "What immortal medicine?" Li Xiaoyao asked. As long as I can save her, I'll definitely get it.”
"The only way to cure them is to get the egg of the Golden-winged Phoenix and the horn of the Fire-eyed Qilin." These two things were very rare. I don't have it either."
Li Xiaoyao said," If there's medicine, there's a way to get it. Please tell me. I'll get it right away."”
The old granny looked at Li Xiaoyao and said,""With your current body, I think…it will be difficult! In the depths of this spiritual mountain, one could find the nest of the Golden-Winged Phoenix and retrieve its eggshell. In the Qilin Cave of Dali City where the Bai Miao people lived, there was a thousand-year-old Fire-Eyed Qilin Spirit. If one subdued it, one could obtain its horn. However, you must remember that these two beasts are the sacred beasts of our Miao tribe. You can only take the medicine, but you must not harm their lives. Otherwise, you will be punished by heaven.”
"So Senior is a Miao person." Li Xiaoyao said. After he relaxed a little, he thought,"By the way, where's Yueru?"
The old granny's expression was a little heavy as she said,""She…"
"Where's Yueru?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
The old woman silently turned her body. The other stone bed behind her was covered with a white cloth. There seemed to be something under the white cloth. It should be a person.
Li Xiaoyao stood there, unable to move, as if he had been struck by thunder.
"She has already died…" the old granny said.
"You mean…this is…Yue…Yue Ru?" Li Xiaoyao asked slowly.”
The granny nodded. Li Xiao Yao didn't believe it and was about to lift the cloth when the granny grabbed his hand and said,"Endure it first! Listen to me, not only was she heavily injured, she was already beyond saving. When you were in danger, she personally used her body to block the falling sword pillar. Her skull was shattered…When she was sent to me, she was already dead.”
Li Xiao Yao's hands were shaking, his mind was blank. The old woman slowly lifted the white cloth and revealed Lin Yueru's closed face.
Li Xiaoyao's legs were sore and he could barely stand up with the help of his wooden staff. He said in a trembling voice,"" No…Yue Ru, she…she…" Li Xiaoyao was already sobbing.
The old granny covered her with the white cloth again and said,""Go back and lie down. You can't come back to life if you die.”
Li Xiaoyao slowly walked forward and sat beside Lin Yueru's corpse. He pulled out his cold little hand from under the white cloth and clenched it tightly.
Lin Yueru's delicate hands were covered with new wounds and old scars. Li Xiaoyao carefully stroked her slender fingers and jade-like palms. During this period of time when he was wandering in Jianghu, it was all because of her support. A young lady from a rich family did not give up the pain of the wind and snow for him. Her hands were also full of injuries, and he did not give her a single gentle word. Now, he only left her with regret.
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru's past memories were like a surging flood, flowing endlessly in Li Xiaoyao's mind. Li Xiaoyao couldn't control himself anymore. He just sat there in a daze, immersed in his memories. His tears had dried up. He didn't say a word. He just held Lin Yueru's cold hand and didn't move for a long time…
Seeing Li Xiao Yao's dazed expression, the old granny could only sigh and turn around to leave.
The old woman slowly got out of the house. There was a large area of apricot flowers outside the house. There were all kinds of flowers planted on the ground. They were pink, white, red, and beautiful. Sword Saint Lone Fox stood with his hands behind his back amidst the falling leaves. Jiang Wan 'er stood beside him.
Sword Saint Dugu looked at the old granny and said,""Sage Nun, how are they?”
The old granny called the Sage Nun said,""The young couple's lives were saved, but Miss Lin…sigh!”
"Even with the Sage Nun's miraculous hands, she can't save her?" Sword Saint Dugu asked.”
The Sage Nun sneered." I'm just a Miao person who knows a little about medicine. How can I be a god who can revive the dead?"”
The Sage Nun was also a Miao. The descendant of Goddess Nvywa whom they believed in had been treated as a demon by Sword Saint Dugu and imprisoned in the Shifter Sealing Tower. She was already furious. Although Sword Saint Dugu had saved Li Xiaoyao and the other two when the Shifter Sealing Tower collapsed, he could not make up for his past mistakes. The Sage Nun still hated him a little.
Sword Saint Dugu was speechless. He would save her to show that he had admitted his mistake, but he was too proud to admit his mistake.
Sword Saint Dugu could only change the subject and said,""Your medical skills are unique in the world and everyone knows about it.”
The Sage Nun said,"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. You know to look for an old lady like me to treat a patient." Also, I've already abdicated for decades. Don't call me Sage Nun anymore!”
"Alright!" Sword Saint Dugu sighed. Miss Lin is the only daughter of my brother. Please save her life.”
"Your brother's only daughter is a human, but Miss Ling 'er isn't?" You have the heart to lock her up in the tower? Hmph, what do you mean by subduing demons and devils? Who knew how many innocent people had been wrongly accused!”
Sword Saint Dugu held back his anger and let the Sage Nun curse non-stop. He said,""This pagoda is already destroyed, so there's no point in saying anything more. If there is no way, please let me bring the corpse back to Suzhou and hand it over to my brother.”
The Sage Nun then returned to the main topic." It's impossible for her to come back to life. However, I have many ways to make her immortal."”
"What do you mean?" Sword Saint Dugu asked.”
"Hehe…it's useless to tell you. You can leave!" When the time comes, you will naturally understand."
The Sage Nun turned around and left after she finished speaking. She closed the door and ignored Sword Saint Dugu.
Sword Saint Dugu knew that it was useless to ask further, so he said to Jiang Wan 'er beside him,""Let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Jiang Wan 'er asked.
"I'll find you a place to stay."
Jiang Wan 'er followed Sword Saint. When the Shifter Sealing Tower collapsed, Sword Saint Dugu was looking into the distance from a high place. Not only did he save Li Xiaoyao and the other two, but he also saw Jiang Wan' er, who was not good at spells.
Jiang Wan 'er's appearance and physique were exactly the same as the demoness who had turned his senior into a demon. Sword Saint Dugu had also rescued her and wanted to ask her why she had humiliated Mount Shu in this way.
Only after saving her did Sword Saint Dugu realize that she was not Nuyuan, but the daughter of a senior. Under questioning, he found out that the senior in the Shifter Sealing Tower had committed suicide because of remorse. He couldn't help but feel bitter. After the death of the senior, the spirits of the deceased did not disperse. They were ignorant and killed the Shu Mountain disciples who broke into the tower to abide by the sect's rules and prevent their disciples from entering the tower. However, they were mistaken for demons. All of this made Sword Saint Dugu extremely sad. Since the Sword Saint knew that the senior was only concerned about Mount Shu and had no intention of betraying him, he naturally only felt kinship towards Jiang Wan 'er and no hostility.
Later, Sword Saint Dugu brought Jiang Wan 'er to Suzhou to meet Lin Tiannan. He vaguely told Lin Yueru that she was injured in the Shifter Sealing Tower and was " not dead " so that Lin Tiannan could rest assured. When Lin Tiannan and Sword Saint Dugu returned to the capital, they asked Aunt Yun to raise Jiang Wan 'er. This was something that would happen in the future.
Li Xiaoyao, who was recuperating at the Sage Nun's place, sat beside Lin Yueru's corpse all day long. He sat there until it was dark, but he still couldn't bear to leave.
"Young Master Li, she won't live if you keep looking at her like this."”
"I…I know." Li Xiaoyao said bitterly.”
"Get up if you know. Rest well and get the immortal medicine earlier. Don't let both of them die.”
Li Xiaoyao bit his lip and slowly stood up. He glanced at Zhao Ling 'er again before slowly walking out.
He lay down on the bamboo bed and closed his eyes. Because he was too tired, he quickly fell asleep again.
He didn't know that when he was awake, he would stare at Lin Yu 'eru, but in his dreams, tears would flow like a flood. When a person was extremely sad, they could only release their pain when their mind was not suppressed. Li Xiaoyao continued to release it…
