Chapter 138: We are already in the Ascension Realm, so we don’t need to talk about reason

The Lord's Mansion of Shatian City in Zhao State.

Xiao Mo was looking at the letter sent by Li Sisi.

Taoist Master Fu Chen wrote to say that Ruxue had been in a deep sleep for the past few decades. Although she would sometimes be awakened by the pain of evil spirits, Taoist Master Fu Chen would give her elixirs in time to let her fall asleep again.

However, the evil spirit in Ruxue's body became heavier and heavier, and the effect of the elixir became weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, there was only one small piece of black ice left in the amber around Xiao Mo's waist.

Xiao Mo felt that within a year at most, this piece of black ice would completely melt away, and the merits he had accumulated for the human race would be almost enough.

As soon as he has accumulated enough merit, he will immediately return to the desolate land to help Ruxue heal her wounds.

All things in the world.

Ever since Xiao Mo risked his life to kill a demon cultivator at the Ascension Realm, and He Yeye led the army of the Demon Suppression City into the heart of the demon world like a sharp knife, the demon world has been in some chaos.

It is true that when Wanfa Tianxia was at a disadvantage, many human sects betrayed the world and colluded with the demon world.

But the demon world is not a monolithic entity.

Each country and tribe in the demon world also has its own interests.

When the demon army is in an advantageous position, most of the demons can temporarily put some things aside for the greater good.

However, when the demon army's progress is not so smooth, or even when it is at a disadvantage, all kinds of accumulated problems will gradually emerge.

Although the demon clan still had a certain advantage at this time, the opponent's advantage was gradually shrinking.

In comparison, the human race showed amazing resilience and began to counterattack at this time, and their fighting spirit was even higher.

"Mr. Xiao." There was a knock on the door and a woman's voice came in.

"Come in." Xiao Mo responded.

The door opened, and a female cultivator from the Qinghua Sect walked in. She clasped her sword and bowed to Xiao Mo, "Mr. Xiao, I have a letter for you. It was sent by Miss Shang from the White Deer Academy."

"A letter from senior sister?" Xiao Mo was stunned.

Although my senior sister has reached the Nascent Soul stage, she is not good at fighting. I am afraid that a powerful demon cultivator in the Golden Core stage will be able to chop her down.

So my senior sister has been organizing intelligence in the rear and is responsible for coordinating and notifying various fronts.

Occasionally, my senior sister would want to say something to me, and she would usually attach it at the end of the document.

There are indeed very few letters like this one that are sent in the name of a single person.

"Bring it here." Xiao Mo said.

"Yes." The female cultivator from the Qinghua Sect placed the envelope respectfully on the table.

Xiao Mo opened the envelope and shook his head after reading it.

Xiao Mo raised his head and said to the Qinghua Sect female cultivator, "I'm going to leave Shatian City for a while. Fortunately, the overall situation in Shatian City has been settled. During this period of time, all matters will be handed over to you. You just need to manage the battlefield and assist Chen Han and the others in pursuing the demon clan."

"Sir, what are you doing?" the female cultivator asked in confusion.

Xiao Mo looked at the letter and couldn't help but sigh: "I have to leave for a while to deal with some personal matters."

After handing over the affairs of Shatin City, Xiao Mo immediately flew to Shuijing City.

After arriving at Shuijing City, Xiao Mo carried a pot of wine and two wine bowls and went straight to the dungeon.

The monk guarding the dungeon originally wanted to stop Xiao Mo, but when he saw the sign of "Saint Worshipped with Worship" worn on Xiao Mo's waist, he simply gave way.

Entering the dungeon, Xiao Mo kept walking forward and finally stopped at a cell at the end.

In the cell, a scholar in a Confucian blue robe sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

The scholar's hair was disheveled and his blue shirt was torn in several places. He looked in a disheveled state.

Xiao Mo sat in front of the cell, looking at the man in the cell.

Luo Yang slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw his junior brother, Luo Yang's lips curled up slightly. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't even notice he was smiling. "I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be my junior brother. It's been a long time since we last met."

"It's been a long time." Xiao Mo nodded and said with a smile, "Fifteen years ago, you and I went to the battlefield together. I didn't expect that fifteen years later, my brother would be in jail."

"My junior sister told my junior brother that, right?" Luo Yang sighed and shook his head.

"Yes." Xiao Mo opened the wine seal, poured a bowl of wine, and passed it through the gap in the iron bars. "Senior sister's letter said that you, senior brother, colluded with the demon tribe and were thrown into the dungeon."

"Jiuli is right, I did collude with the demon clan." Luo Yang nodded.

"Because of that rabbit spirit?" Xiao Mo said bluntly.

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment: "Jiuli really knows everything."

"After all, Senior Sister is in the rear to get intelligence."

Xiao Mo poured himself a bowl of wine.

"Senior Sister said in the letter that six years ago, when you were seriously injured, there was a maid who took care of you day and night. However, some time ago, the maid's identity was exposed as a rabbit spirit.

Originally, senior brother, you only need to kill this rabbit spirit, and the Lord of Shuijing City can pretend that nothing happened.

But you, my senior brother, drew your sword against the human race for her and protected her back to the demon world.

Is what Senior Sister said true?"

"It's all true." Luo Yang picked up the wine bowl.

"Brother, do you know how serious the crime of 'colluding with the demon clan' is?" Xiao Mo looked at Luo Yang solemnly.

"I know." Luo Yang took a sip of wine. "Death penalty."

Xiao Mo: “.”

"But Junior Brother, she has never hurt anyone. She has taken care of me day and night, and has committed no sins. I cannot draw my sword against her." Luo Yang looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes. "If I had drawn my sword at that time, I would have been no different from an animal. I cannot go against my own conscience."

"Is it worth it?" Xiao Mo asked.

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Junior brother, are you asking even though you already know the answer?"

"Hahahaha." Xiao Mo stood up, dusted himself off, and strode out. His voice echoed throughout the prison, "Brother, wait a moment."

After Xiao Mo left, Luo Yang only heard a loud noise coming into the dungeon, and Shuijing City fell into chaos.

When the commotion ended, Xiao Mo walked up to Luo Yang again and threw a bunch of keys to him: "Brother, you can come out now."

"What did you do, Junior Brother?" Luo Yang asked.

"After shocking Shuijing City and beating up the city lord, he gave the key to me, his junior brother." Xiao Mo said truthfully.

Luo Yang sighed: "Junior brother is being unreasonable."

Xiao Mo smiled faintly:

"We're already in the Ascension Realm, so we don't need to be unreasonable."

[I have a fever, it's really uncomfortable. I felt something was wrong this morning, and I was groggy while writing these two chapters. I can only write two chapters today. Sigh, I feel very guilty.

I just injected the salt water, let me take care of it.

I'm really sorry that I can only write 4,000 words today. 】
