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 Forty-Nine: Cooperation Again

Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":

The elder of Shenxiao Palace hesitated, then stammered:

"Senior knows this person? I don't remember him very well either. I vaguely recall a disciple mentioning him. At the time, I just sent someone to confirm it on a whim before sending my personal disciple. But, alas..."

The Luoyun Sect, which had been in decline for a thousand years, was basically invisible in Wulipo. If it weren't for the Longevity Pill of the Longevity Daoist, it probably wouldn't even have this much presence. However, even if it had the Longevity Pill, it would be unlikely to have a direct conversation with the sect leader of the major sect in Wulipo. Those who could be contacted were all peripheral figures of these sects.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that the elders of Shenxiao Palace don't recognize Jue Mingzi. If the latter were to deliberately conceal it, then no one would know. But for Li Sisui, this name is all too familiar. No wonder Jue Mingzi had that expression when they said goodbye. So that's why.

Li Sisui had taken the initiative to declare before his departure that he had no interest in the position of sect leader. Little did he know that this guy had already sown the seeds of disaster. He had betrayed him over this matter. Li Sisui never expected that he would do this. Then he thought about it and wondered how Jue Mingzi had learned that he was wanted.

However, now that he is wanted in Wulipo, everyone should know that he is wanted, so why bother about it? But this time he could no longer hide his murderous intent. He did it repeatedly, in front of and behind people. Did they think he was a pushover?

This time, Li Sisui was truly enraged!

After all, they had spent over a thousand years together, and he always addressed her as his grandmaster. He never expected that she would stab him in the back for the position of sect leader of a fallen sect. All his previous concessions and his principle of being forgiving were in vain. It seems that this world does not welcome kind-hearted people who are good to others!

Li Sisui walked down the mountain with a dark face and a sullen expression. The disciples of Shenxiao Palace breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave. Their expected palace master did not turn out as they had hoped. Although his cultivation was outrageous, at least he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, which was a blessing in disguise.

Hidden not far away, Leng Rushuang watched as Li Sisui descended like a god or demon, overwhelming over a hundred cultivators from Shenxiao Palace with his powerful and unrestrained attacks. He not only shattered the sect's protective formation but also left the disciples utterly powerless to resist. The fawning smile on the leader's face spoke volumes.

Leng Rushuang's originally calm heart was immediately stirred up by a storm of emotions that she could not calm down for a long time. Especially since Li Sisui was only at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm, this scene was simply unbelievable if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes!

She never expected that Li Sisui would be such a solid shield, protecting her from the various people seeking rewards that they might encounter. If necessary, she would then take action herself, which would not only save her cultivation but also shield her from some clowns. However, she never imagined that this shield would be so effective that she didn't even need to lift a finger. Shocked, she couldn't help but look at Li Sisui with new respect!

Of course, his wariness of Li Sisui deepened even further. To have such combat power at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm was no sign of a cultivation waste. If his cultivation improved further, his strength would be unimaginable, terrifying to the point of being outrageous!

Leng Rushuang composed herself, reverting to her usual aloof demeanor, and silently reappeared beside Li Sisui. The latter, though initially furious, was startled by Leng Rushuang's sudden appearance. Upon recognizing her, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and he spoke:

Why are you still here?

"Didn't we say before that I'd go wherever you go, at least that's how it is here?"

Leng Rushuang's gaze was indifferent, and she pointed to the ground without expression. Li Sisui was both surprised and delighted. Her anger gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of curiosity.

"Uh... that's not impossible. In that case, how about we work together again?"

"cooperate?"

Leng Rushuang glanced at Li Sisui without leaving a trace, and said casually.

“There’s really nothing here for me to miss. Since you’re going back to Sage Hill anyway, you might as well take me with you. In exchange, I’ll stay by your side during our time at Wulipo. I won’t trouble you with a single thing if it’s within my power. What do you think?”

The two were well aware of the suppressive effect of Wulipo on high-level cultivators. Li Sisui spoke so bluntly, so he naturally understood that Leng Rushuang, although she seemed to have a strong cultivation at the moment, was using less and less. Sensing the mountain array was not something that could be accomplished in a day. Both of them needed some time and some buffer, which was just what they needed.

With Li Sisui's current strength, he's more than capable of serving as a bodyguard in Wulipo. While he wouldn't dare claim to be invincible, he's certainly hard to beat. Unless someone plots against you, with his protection, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you can rest easy...

Leng Rushuang's eyes were cold, and she didn't give a reply immediately. However, Li Sisui was clearly not in a hurry, and looked relaxed. Based on her current understanding of Li Sisui, it was impossible for her not to be wary at all. Her intuition told her to stay away from this person as much as possible, but what Li Sisui said also made sense.

In Wulipo, apart from her cultivation, she was completely clueless and didn't know anyone. With the issuance of the wanted scroll by the Flying Flower Sect, it was almost impossible to return to Sage Hill in an orderly manner. With such a great reward, there would inevitably be reckless people, and she might be attacked at any time!

Judging from her current cultivation level, she can barely withstand three to five waves of attacks. The longer it drags on, the more her cultivation will be consumed, which will be more disadvantageous for her. This is why she hurriedly came out of seclusion and prepared to return to Saint Hill as soon as possible. The appearance of the mountain formation by chance is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Leng Rushuang's current situation!
