Turns Out I Really Am The Protagonist

The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...

Chapter 146 Treasure

A huge black-eyed golden eagle flew overhead from time to time, stirring up gusts of wind. The little eagle lay bored to one side, staring at Li Sisui with a sleepy look on its face. The latter closed his eyes and pondered, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, and his sea of ​​consciousness continued to fill up!

As expected of the Shura Ridge that countless cultivators yearn for, the abundance and quality of spiritual energy here are incomparable to that below the mountain. The cultivation technique in the booklet seems to have been sensed after entering the Shura Ridge. In any case, the few lines of text recorded there have become much clearer!

"call"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling completely refreshed. In less than a week, he had returned to his peak condition, something he would have never dared to imagine before. Li Sisui was in high spirits, glancing at Leng Rushuang sitting cross-legged beside him, and thought to himself:

"Although there is demonic energy here, it cannot compare to Demon Mountain, so the recovery speed is naturally much slower. However, with these Black-Eyed Golden-Eyed Eagles as bodyguards, I can cultivate in peace, which is better than stumbling upon something by chance..."

Thinking of this, Li Sisui relaxed, lay back on the grass, and gazed at the starry sky. The night was as dark as ink, and he was overwhelmed with emotion, as if he had been transported to another world.

"So this is the Asura Ridge. Lingyun should be here. Very good. He probably never expected me to arrive so quickly. I wonder how Lingyun is doing here after he usurped my destiny?"

"It can only be that it's not bad!"

At some point, Leng Rushuang slowly woke up, glanced at Li Sisui lying on the ground, and said calmly. Li Sisui sat up and looked at Leng Rushuang with interest, saying:

"How about it?"

"I've recovered most of it, but I'm still far from fully recovered. However, it's much better than before; at least I'm no longer hampered by demonic energy..."

Leng Rushuang shook her head slightly, looking unwilling, and then spoke.

"What are your plans next?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sisui immediately became interested, a cold glint flashing across his face:

"Since Lingyun schemed against me like this, I naturally have to find him, get to the bottom of this, and settle this score! What about you?"

Leng Rushuang hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I... well, I might look for the entrance to Demon Mountain to find my master. After all, that's where demonic cultivators truly belong. All things in the world eventually lead to the same goal, so there's no need to be fixated on immortality or demonism..."

"oh……"

Li Sisui nodded, slightly disappointed, but then heard Leng Rushuang add:

"However, the entrance to Demon Mountain is not easy to find. Even with the anchor points planted by Master, it is not easy to pinpoint the exact location. The process should be very long. Thinking about it this way, finding your Senior Brother Lingyun is much easier. With his destiny, he must be a powerful figure here. Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains!"

A hint of joy flashed across Li Sixui's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he said:

"Hmph, his meager fortune isn't even enough to fill my teeth. But you're right, someone who has usurped my fortune for so many years can't be some nobody. Finding him should be much easier. Besides, I have his portrait, hehe!"

As he spoke, Li Si took out the portrait from the ring on his hand. It was one of the few things he had acquired in the Sage's Mansion. The man in the portrait was imposing and had an aura of majesty that made people dare not look directly at him. He was indescribably sacred!

Leng Rushuang examined the portrait, her brows furrowing slightly, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"Given your senior brother's cultivation level, if he knew you were in Shura Ridge, wouldn't he strike first? After all, with your Divine Illumination Level 3 cultivation, you're really weak; you might not even be able to defeat a juvenile demon beast in Shura Ridge..."

Moreover, since this portrait depicts him, could it also become his anchor? After all, the Seven Deadly Injuries and Seven Wounds Reverse Qi-Stealing Array hasn't disappeared, and only the final step remains: killing you..."

After hearing Leng Rushuang's words, Li Sisui felt a chill run down his spine. The fear of being constantly watched made his hair stand on end. It was a fear that went deep into his bones, and even with the protagonist's halo, it was hard for him to be completely unaffected...

Just then, the originally plain and dim portrait suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. Although it was fleeting, it was very eye-catching against the backdrop of the night. Leng Rushuang and Li Sisui exchanged a glance, and the two of them made their move almost at the same time, instantly smashing the portrait to pieces!

Looking at the portrait reduced to dust at his feet, Li Sisui said with lingering fear:

"This should be okay now, right? Hopefully we haven't been tracked again. Has this place been exposed? Looks like I need to get out of here as soon as possible..."

Leng Rushuang also wore a solemn expression. She then flicked a wisp of demonic energy from her sleeve, completely obliterating the dusted portrait. Only then did she look around and say:

"Quickly search the library for any records about Shura Ridge, otherwise rushing out in the dark might lead to an even more gruesome death..."

"Oh right, how could I forget about the ancient books in the library? Now is exactly the time when we need those ancient books!"

As he spoke, Li Sisui waved his hand, and a pile of golden books appeared before them, quickly growing into a small mountain more than three people high. Then, Li Sisui said with a serious expression:

"These are all the books for the eighth and ninth floors. Take a look. You've been so focused on revenge that you've forgotten about your own strength. You got used to crushing your opponents before, and this time you were really careless..."

Li Sisui looked annoyed, and Leng Rushuang stopped talking. She stretched out her slender hand and began to rummage through the pile of ancient books. Li Sisui waited anxiously for a long time, but Leng Rushuang did not pick up a single book. He was somewhat disappointed. At some point, the little eagle came over again.

The fluffy, large head kept rubbing against Li Sisui's back, as if trying to soothe him. Li Sisui felt a warmth in his heart, reached out and patted the little eagle's head, muttering to himself:
