Chapter 710 Yulong

Li Chengtian stood alone at the door of the store, looking at the sign that Li Muhan had put up again and smiled helplessly.

It seems that it is not so easy to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a breath approaching rapidly from behind.

The moment he turned around, a hand grabbed his neck and pressed him back to the floor of the store.

"Li Chengtian, you've made it so hard for me to find you!!"

The voice was filled with anger and resentment.

Li Chengtian was pinched by her neck and pressed to the ground, leaving him no room for resistance.

Now he is just an ordinary middle-aged man. His long-term mental illness and the battle in the underworld have completely drained his strength. At this moment, he is no match for the newcomer.

The girl put her face close to Li Chengtian's and stared at his right eye.

"You've been hiding from me for so many years! Hahahahaha, I can finally kill you with my own hands!"

"...Suzaku..." Li Chengtian squeezed out the name hoarsely.

"Yohu?! You're not crazy anymore!? You recognized me?! That's even better! Killing a madman would be pointless! But before I kill you, give my sister's eyes back to me first!"

Her hand suddenly tried to cover Li Chengtian's right eye.

"Okay, let him go and don't do anything to him."

A faint female voice came from outside the store.

Zhuque smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, then grabbed Li Chengtian by the collar and dragged him up from the ground.

Li Chengtian saw the girl in blue walking gracefully into the store.

"Kneel down!" Zhuque kicked Li Chengtian on the broken leg, causing Li Chengtian to kneel on the ground in pain.

"I said, don't do anything to him."

The girl in green pulled a chair and sat in front of Li Chengtian.

Zhuque folded his arms across his chest and sat on the chair behind Li Chengtian.

"First of all, welcome back, Li Chengtian."

"...Saint Azure Dragon." Li Chengtian slowly raised his head and looked at the girl in green.

"Are you here to get your eyes back?"

"This time..."

"Ha!? You think it's that cheap?!" Zhuque stood up again and grabbed Li Chengtian's hair.

But the next second, she was punched in the face by the girl in blue and flew out of the store.

"I'm talking! I've told you many times! Don't interrupt me!!" The veins on the forehead of the girl in green were exposed, and she shouted angrily at Zhuque who fell to the ground with his butt sticking up outside the door.

“…OK.”

Suzaku trembled and raised his hand to make an OK sign.

The girl in green slowly turned around and showed that gentle expression to Li Chengtian again.

"Sorry...my sister is too rebellious, so I have to use some slightly...rough methods."

......A trace of cold sweat broke out on Li Chengtian's forehead.

That punch just now was not aimed at my sister, it was aimed at my enemy.

"Ahem, sorry, that's where I was just now. Oh, actually..." The girl in green sat down again.

"I'm not here to return my eyes to you this time." The girl's words made Li Chengtian slightly stunned.

"I gave you my eyes so that I could see things clearly through your body. Now, I think I have seen clearly."

The girl's words shocked Li Chengtian.

Back then, she deliberately let me take away her eyes...

"I expected Moriarty to capture you. There's no way she'd let go of the experiment she'd been cultivating for so many years. But I don't know if she considered the fact that you could be awakened by Li Muhan."

The girl in blue shrugged.

"After all, Li Muhan is a surprise to all of us. He is not under anyone's control, and those who want to manipulate him will not end well."

"...Yulong, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Chengtian said while enduring the severe pain in his right leg.

"Perhaps you were not aware of it at the time, but I saw it, I saw... the aura on Moriarty. That was the aura of the Heart of the World."

"Don't you already know this? Moriarty is the spokesperson created by the World Heart. His purpose is to completely format this world, making it neither human nor alien."

The girl shook her head slightly.

"No, I didn't just see the Heart of the World. My eyes can see through everything. My consciousness passed through her body and saw the Heart of the World. I also saw the tree that created Tai Sui and Moriarty. Then, deep in the roots of that tree..."

She slowly leaned forward, getting closer to Li Chengtian: "I saw... that tree is not rooted in this world, its foundation..."

"On the other side of the rift."

Li Chengtian slowly widened his eyes.

"The core of this world... is rooted on the other side of the rift. You mean..."

"The rift is assimilating this world. Think about it, if this world truly loses its protection, the rift will expand wildly. By that time, do we really have a chance of winning?"

The girl raised her hand and gently stroked Li Chengtian's right eye.

"Li Chengtian, I've suspected Moriarty for a long time. My eyes can see things differently from others. This is my characteristic as the Guardian of the East. And now... I want you to think carefully."

"That tree, where is it? I can only see it, but I don't know its location. And you have personally been to that tree, you have touched that tree, you have been baptized by it, Li Chengtian, now... tell me."

As her slender jade hand gently caressed him, Li Chengtian's right eye emitted a green light.

"That tree, the heart of the world, where is it?"

"..." Li Chengtian's lips moved slightly, his other eye began to become bloodshot, and blood began to seep out of his ears and nose.

Qinglong looked at all this with an empty gaze, then suddenly sighed and withdrew his hand.

Li Chengtian lay on the ground, gasping for breath as if he had been pardoned.

"......never mind."

The girl in blue turned and walked out of the store.

"You may not be able to give me an answer right now. Rather than letting the wandering soul that Li Muhan tried so hard to find die, it's better... just take care of yourself."

"Yulong..." Li Chengtian looked up and called the girl weakly.

"Won't you take back your eyes?"

The girl tilted her eyes slightly, her right eye still covered by her bangs.

"Keep it. It will help you live longer. I don't need this time, human."

After saying that, Qinglong stopped talking. She walked out of the store, grabbed the back of the collar of Zhuque, who was still lying on the ground, and walked towards the other end of the dark street.

"Sister, is this really okay? This is my chance to get an answer, right?"

Yulong didn't answer. Her face was expressionless, as if she didn't know what the consequences of this decision would be. "There will always be a way..."
