Chapter 577 The Peaceful Years

Three days later, Moyue City.

Moyue City is bathed in the soft light of morning light, and the ancient city walls are mottled and solemn, as if they are the guardians of the peaceful years.

On both sides of the street, vendors set up their stalls early, and the shouts and laughter intertwined into a lively picture of the market.

This was a scene that had never happened in Moyue City in the past year, but when the war faded away, these people were able to return to their ordinary and happy lives.

Luo Li walked alone on the bluestone road, her steps light and her eyes sparkling with joy and determination of returning.

The sun shines through the clouds today and falls on Luo Li. The soft sunlight adds a touch of warmth to her cool temperament.

Luo Li walked through the bustling crowd, went deep into the city, and came to the square in the center of the city.

In the square, children are chasing and playing, and the elderly are sitting together, enjoying their leisure time.

Luo Li's eyes swept over all of this gently, and a touch of attachment to home surged in her heart.

Luo Li's pace unconsciously slowed down. She walked lightly into an alley covered with mottled sunlight. On both sides were old walls carved by time. A few wild flowers stubbornly poked out from the cracks in the walls, swaying gently in the wind, as if they were the most lively brushstrokes in this ancient alley.

She reached out and gently stroked a moss-covered stone slab. A hint of coolness came from her fingertips, but it also felt a bit intimate.

At the end of the alley, there is a familiar teahouse with its wooden door half-open, and the aroma of tea and laughter can be faintly heard.

Listening to these lively sounds, Luo Li's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

Walk through the alley and go a short distance to the east, and you will arrive at the City Lord's Mansion of Moyue City.

She looked up at the towering gate, stepped forward, and knocked on the door lightly. "I'm back."

As the words "I'm back" fell gently, the door hinge slowly turned, making a long and low sound, as if welcoming the long-lost guest.

The sunlight filtered through the crack in the door and shone on her face, outlining a soft outline. The golden glow complemented the tenderness in Luo Li's eyes.

Inside the door, an old man in a green robe walked out slowly. He had a kind face and smiling eyes. His beard swayed gently in the breeze, like the strings of a musical instrument caressed by time.

"Young Master Luo Li, you are finally back!" The old man's voice was filled with excitement and relief. He stepped forward quickly and took the bag from Luo Li's hands with both hands, as if he was taking over a heavy burden of longing.

Luo Li looked at him and smiled, "Elder Luo Si, you are here too."

Ross chuckled, "Yeah."

He remembered his business and hurriedly invited Luo Li in. "The Patriarch and his family have been talking about you. Please come in, please come in, and let me take you to see the Patriarch and his family."

Luo Li looked at this place which was not very familiar to her. She did not have a strong sense of belonging, but every one of the people inside was her closest friend.

She curled her lips into a smile and said, "Excuse me, please take me there."

On the way, Luo Li asked sideways, "How have things been during the few days I was away?"

Luo Li followed Elder Los lightly through the winding corridors, with neatly trimmed flowers and trees on both sides. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves danced in the wind, adding a touch of spring tranquility.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, casting dappled light and shadows, giving this ancient and majestic mansion a warm golden hue.

Elder Los explained carefully as they walked, "After you were taken away by the people from the Heavenly Mandate Palace, they attacked the city on the third day. It was a scene of nearly ten Divine Kings! But thanks to the presence of Lord Heng and the Patriarch, we were able to escape unscathed."

"After that, everything was fine in Moyue City. The people who had fled the war also returned to Moyue City. But without you, I felt like something was missing."

"Especially the Patriarch and his family. They worry about your safety every day and hope you can return soon. If it weren't for Lord Shi Heng stopping them, they would have rushed into the Broken Soul Mountains to look for you."

Listening to his description, Luo Li could imagine the expressions of her grandfather and great uncle when they said these words, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

City Lord's Mansion, Council Hall.

Shi Heng and the others were sitting scattered in the conference hall, each with a sad look on their face.

Suddenly, the door of the meeting hall was opened and a familiar figure stood in front of the door.

Looking at this familiar person, Shi Heng and the others showed a touch of joy on their faces, "Xiao Li?!"

Luo Li chuckled, "I'm back."

The sunlight filtered through the half-open windows of the meeting hall, illuminating Luo Li's graceful figure as she walked in, giving her a soft golden glow.

Her smile was warm and bright, as if it could dispel all the gloom and sadness in the room.

Shi Heng and the others stood up one after another, with surprise and relief in their eyes. They all stepped forward at the same time, and there was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in everyone's steps.

Luo Li walked into the center of the meeting hall and looked around. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts and give them the most determined strength.

Shi Heng curled his lips slightly, "How's the situation over there?"

Luo Li raised her chin. "It went better than expected. How are you guys doing?"

Speaking of this, the smiles on everyone's faces in the room faded. Shi Heng forced a smile and said, "It went smoothly. All the clones of the descenders were eliminated. There are also people from the Ancient Temple in the Tianyu Palace headquarters.

Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people of the Ancient Temple were not treacherous. The day before she was captured, she temporarily sent a signal to the Ancient Temple using the Temple Master's Order. She was a little skeptical at the time.

With the strength of the Ancient Temple, it is more than enough to deal with the remnants of the Tianyu Palace.

However, when she came to her senses, she noticed the strange silence of her grandfather and the others.

Luo Li raised her eyes and exhaled, "Master, did anything else happen?"

Shi Heng smiled bitterly, "You are still so sharp."

When he said this, Luo Li knew that something must have happened. She looked around the room. Grandpa and the others were there, only her brother and Brother Wan Bai were not there.

Luo Li pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Did Brother Wan Bai and the others get into trouble?"

Shi Heng sighed and continued, "Many disciples of the Luo family were injured. The strength of those who descended was treacherous. Even if they were just Divine Kings, it would be difficult for me to completely heal the wounds they inflicted."

Luo Li exhaled, "It's okay, Master, take me to see it, I will go to make the elixir right away."

"That's not all..." Shi Heng paused, then continued, "At the end of the battle, several Adventers, enraged by shame, blew themselves up in the center of the battlefield. Yizhou, Xiaoyu, Hanchuan Yichen, and your three brothers were all slightly away from the center of the explosion and only suffered minor injuries, but Wanbai, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoze, and Shuxue were all severely affected."

Luo Li clenched her hands slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "Master, please continue."
