Chapter 397 The Dust Has Settled
Therefore, Su Li only wanted to put away the cave after 10 percent of refining, and then she would refine it in spare time.
As for Dongfang Wuxue, he could only be wronged for a few years. After all, a hundred years had pa.s.sed, and a few years were not so much.
“Ah…”
Yan Ziye woke up with a stuffy “hum” and kneaded his eyebrows. After sitting up, he happened to see Su Li’s clear eyes. Somehow his heart sank.
He was a little familiar with this feeling.
Without waiting for Yan Ziye to recall, Su Li suddenly said, “In a few days, I will be able to control the way to open the exit of the cave.”
Hearing this, Yan Ziye was shocked. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy for the rest of his newly-reclaimed life. But before he stood up to thank her, he saw this little girl tilting her head.
“But what shall you do if I don’t want to let you out?”
Yan Ziye’s pupils shrank, as if he had been watered down by a basin of cold water. Then he totally calmed down.
Yes, the female pract.i.tioner who looked like a little girl in front of him was actually a prodigy with more terrifying strength than old fox in Yuanying Realm. He was once a talent. Naturally, he understood the character of these evildoers. They were all weird.
After a moment’s silence, he replied, “Fellow pract.i.tioner, I will not tell anyone what I have met in this cave.”
“Haha…”
Su Li could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, “Yan Ziye, you can’t guarantee that.”
“Then what do you want?”
Yan Ziye’s face turned cool. Even facing a prodigy, he was likely to die due to his contradiction… He still had his own pride!
Su Li yawned with languor in her eyes. The Divine Thunder of Water in her body was refining all the time. She didn’t have to keep in a sitting posture expressly.
“Dongfang Wuxue has made a deal with me. So can you.”
She spoke leisurely, whose tone made Yan Ziye look cooler. She said in a deep voice, “Sure enough, Dongfang Wuxue knew your privacy. You were all in collusion before.”
At the thought that Dongfang Wuxue lay the hope on him on the surface, but secretly counted on the girl, he could not help but feel suffocated.
Yeah, he just felt suffocated.
When it came to strength, he was not as good as Su Li. He didn’t have the qualification to be unconvinced.
Su Li raised her eyebrows, looking at Snow Child, who had woken up but still pretended to sleep, and murmured, “You also want to know my ident.i.ty?”
“Naturally. Which holy Sects are you from, Your Excellency?”
Yan Ziye said frankly. He was really curious. If this girl was willing to reveal herself, it would be better. However, when he saw Su Li’s smile, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
“I can tell you. But…you need to promise me a condition.”
Su Li spoke with an evil smile on her face.
Yan Ziye said sure enough in secret, and asked on the surface, “What’s it?”
Su Li narrowed her eyes and whispered, “Follow me and work for me. Then I’ll tell you. How about this?”
Yan Ziye glared slightly at her and stood up quickly, “No way!”
As a talent, although he had betrayed the sect, he would never yield to anyone!
“Oh, really?”
Su Li’s tone was light, but a trace of pressure came out from her, “So how will you choose between surrender and death?”
Yan Ziye sneered and said haughtily, “Even if I die, I will never recognize anyone as the master!”
“Good!”
Su Li clapped her hands gently and exclaimed, “Good temper. Now that you don’t want to be my follower, then go to h.e.l.l.”
Saying that, she gently waved her hand, and Yan Ziye was suddenly confused.
How frank she was! She would kill me?!
“Wait!”
He murmured with horror. It was late. He was swept by one hand directly. His whole figure disappeared without a trace of dust.
This scene suddenly scared Snow Child. He opened his eyes, even forgetting to pretend to sleep.
Su Li clapped her hands with satisfaction. The technique that she had just mastered was not bad. Now that this boy was stubborn, just let Dongfang Wuxue persuade him.
Over the valley, Dongfang Wuxue, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly changed his face and felt a wave. Then, without reacting, he saw a black door appear suddenly, and then a frightened man with a waxy yellow face was threw out.
“Well… Brother Yan?”
Dongfang Wuxue made a sound of doubt. Yan Ziye, sitting on the ground, was suddenly excited. He seemed to wake up from the suspended animation and s.h.i.+vered slightly. He saw Dongfang Wuxue, who was floating in the air without any substance. He had not switched his mindset and murmured, “Am I dead?”
Dongfang Wuxue stared at Yan Ziye. His eyes turned even weirder. He felt that Yan Ziye was insane anyhow.
…
In the Blue Cave, Su Li patted Snow Child’s shoulder. She squatted down and said in a soft voice, “Snow Child, I only know that you are called Snow Child. Where do you learn from?”
Snow Child’s small face appeared a little frightened. He immediately told all about his origin like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
He didn’t wanted to die yet!
Just now, the slightest disagreement let Su Li kill people, which really scared him.
“I’m the disciple of talent Shengxue Sect in the Beihan Region, ranking ninth on the Tianjiao List. I cultivated with the name of Snow Child. My real name is Lu Yan. I have been cultivating for 700 years. This time, I ran out with Xuan Meiji. I don’t want to die. I’ll work for you!”
Su Li didn’t respond after listening to him. She only looked at Xuan Meiji, who was still in a coma.
At the moment, Snow Child, who had a strong will to survive, immediately cleverly revealed the ident.i.ty of Xuan Meiji.
Although Xuan Meiji was not from a sect, she also had the name of holy girl in the Beihan Region. She was the youngest among the eldest disciples of the top-grade Meizong Sect. Although she was seven or eight hundred years old like Snow Child, she was uncomplicated and had never experienced the bloodbath of the cultivation circle.
The two bold people schemed and sneaked away to find Jiuzhou Region, where the b.l.o.o.d.y Accident of Reincarnation once happened in those days. Relying on the strength of leaping over the ranks, the two played key roles. They were rumored as two Yuanying old foxes, and then invited by Heaven Rover. These things happened then.
“Don’t kill me…” She purred.
Xuan Meiji woke up and cried bitterly with a bubbling nose. She didn’t look like a talent disciple of Yuanying Realm at all.
Su Li rubbed her glabella when hearing this, and she was a little bit dumbfounded.
She thought that such means of dealing with Yan Ziye could frighten others and deal with the aftermath better. But she didn’t expect to frighten these two younger persons.
“Shengxue Sect and Meizong Sect… are troublesome, but I’ve been in trouble for a long time. I didn’t feel itchy while I had more lice. These two small troubles are nothing.”
When thought about this, Su Li smiled and lightly nodded, “You two can temporarily follow me.”
“Thank you very much, senior!”
Xuan Meiji was overjoyed at the words and saluted again and again, and she was almost grateful. Although Snow Child couldn’t speak, Su Li clearly saw the same emotion as Xuan Meiji from his grateful eyes.
“Are the younger generations of cultivation circle so simple now…”
Su Li was dumbfounded and shook her head.
After that, when Old Lady Duhua woke up, Su Li asked the same question. After a moment of consideration, Old Lady Duhua directly agreed. After this trip to the cave, her pride in her heart had dissipated. It was a good thing to be able to follow a prodigy now.
As for Dongfang Yi… Su Li didn’t mean to ask for his consent at all. Even his father agreed. It couldn’t depend on him.
After telling everyone to take a rest, Su Li was completely immersed in refining the Divine Thunder of Water, and her speed was slightly improved under her concentration.
…
At the same time, in the valley—
Yan Ziye and Dongfang Wuxue stared at each other, and a deep helplessness emerged in the latter’s eyes.
“Was that true? She is Su Li, really? Ms. Li?”
Yan Ziye still used the name of illusion of reincarnation. His eyes were full of ecstasy and excitement.
“Yes, you have asked for it for 88 times.”
Dongfang Wuxue replied powerlessly. If Yan Ziye asked again, he would not be ready to nod.
Yan Ziye clenched his fists tightly. It seemed that the mental state of the cultivation for 1,500 years was nothing. After hearing this news, he couldn’t help himself.
Ms. Li, was still alive!
Nothing was more impressive than this!
Although he had only a short life, his experience in Qinghe Province was more abundant than all his previous experiences of cultivation.
Most of the cultivation of the disciples from the main sect was nothing but sitting in meditation, breathing and practicing techniques.
Even if they went down the mountain to kill demons, they were feared by mortals. The peers were on guard. There was no warmth.
But in Qinghe Province, he had saw too much emotion. His heart had already entered the Doctrine of Secular World, and he was not willing to return to the way of Grand Elder to forget the emotion.
And since stepping into the secular circle, he also found the so-called evil circle, which was not as terrible as what those self-righteous and self-dignified people said. They were more emotional!
Who was the Buddha? And who was the devil? Who could tell that?
He was really grateful for the skill that Su Li had given him, which led him to a brighter road. However, this talent was defrauded by those greedy people. How could he feel comfortable?
Therefore, he betrayed the Sect. Whatever others pointed out, he had the way in his heart and somehow didn’t want to let Su Li down.
But now, Dongfang Wuxue actually told him that Su Li was still alive!
Besides, they just had met!
“The appearance of Holy Girl Su was quite different from that of her previous life. Her bone age is no more than 15. She was obviously reincarnated and has recovered her memory.”
Dongfang Wuxue was mumbling, but Yan Ziye suddenly raised his head and waved his big hand!
“Come on, let’s go to find Ms. Li now! It’s my pleasure to be with Ms. Li and work for her!”
Dongfang Wuxue looked at the empty body of himself and smiled bitterly. How could he go out? Yan Ziye was really irritated. His mind was not very clear.
With time going by, three days had been past.
Hum!!
With the shock of the whole cave, the central area, which was originally inlaid in the inner palace, began to peel off from the outer cave slowly. It became an exquisite palace at the speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and fell into the hands of Su Li, who stood in the void.
Glancing at the bottomless black hole, Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly and swept off all the pillars supporting the outer cave.
Boom—
Countless floating stone platforms smashed into the hole. After a few breaths, the whole hole was filled and buried together with more than 100 pract.i.tioners who came in to seek opportunities.
The dust had settled.
