Chapter 750: Similar to Jiuzhou 500 years ago

Wolong City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord of Wolong City was looking at the man sitting in the main seat with trepidation, fearing that the other party would kill him.

He trembled and warned the man: "I am an official appointed by Dayong, you can't kill me..."

When the city lord heard that someone was causing trouble in the city and provoking the Meng family, he wanted to lead his troops to suppress it. However, before he even stepped out of the door, he saw a man walking towards him with a smile and asked him to take out the book that recorded the major and minor events in Wolong City over the years.

The city lord's body seemed to be out of control, and he handed the things to the man respectfully like a servant.

Jiang Li put his feet on the table, flipping through the city history of Wolong City and the cases it handled page by page, not paying attention to what the city lord said.

"Over the years, the Meng family has indeed not killed anyone."

Jiang Li knew that although Xianren was in a bad mood, he still had a bottom line and would not let his men kill innocent people indiscriminately, which was the behavior of the devil.

Meng Yu also knew that this was his master's bottom line and never touched it.

Jiang Li felt that idle people didn’t know about the Meng family’s affairs. After all, who would care about the family of a maid?

"But what is the difference between what the Meng family actually did and murder?"

"They occupied farmland, opened brothels, and monopolized commodities with other families. The Meng family controlled all the medicines and refining equipment. They bought at low prices and sold at high prices. Foreign merchants who opened shops in Wolong City had to pay 20% protection fees..."

"And you, the city lord, levied heavy taxes privately in order to please the Meng family."

Jiang Li smiled and patted the city lord on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I'm sure you are not the only one who did these things."

"Then..." The city lord felt hopeful.

"The Palace Lord and the Emperor above you all have problems. You won't be lonely on the way to the underworld."

Jiang Li did not kill the city lord now. From a local perspective, the environment of the entire Jiuzhou is not much better. Killing a city lord from the Meng family will not make much difference.

There are no idle people in other places. There is no Meng family, but there are other aristocratic families who control and exploit mortals. The rule of the jungle is very obvious in Jiuzhou.

"Similar to Kyushu five hundred years ago."

"When in a position, one should not interfere in other people's affairs."

Jiang Li sighed, this reminded him of Jiuzhou five hundred years ago. When he first arrived in the Great Zhou, he could not feel anything and thought that Jiuzhou was quite peaceful. Later, he went to Tianyuan and the Great Wei, and his horizons broadened. He realized that the Great Zhou was special and that injustice was happening everywhere in Jiuzhou.

Of course, the overall situation is still much better than it was nine thousand years ago. This is the result of the efforts of successive emperors.

"Huh? Yu Yin is here?" Jiang Li had been keeping an eye on the First Emperor, worried that he might accidentally kill everyone.

Jiang Li appeared behind Yu Yin. When he heard Yu Yin pleading for Meng Yu, the corners of his mouth gradually smoothed out. He felt that the woman in front of him was very strange.

"Yuyin, I am very disappointed in you."

"Who are you?" Yu Yin turned around and met Jiang Li's gaze, her brows slightly furrowed.

The other person's disappointed look was undisguised, as if he had done something unacceptable wrong.

This made Yu Yin feel uncomfortable.

"We met in a dream."

Yu Yin widened her beautiful eyes and recalled what happened ten years ago: "You are the one who looks exactly like Jiang Li!"

Yu Yin remembered that ten years ago, Xianren Jiang Li fought with an opponent and was defeated. She asked Xianren who the opponent was, but Xianren refused to tell her.

"It seems that the idler didn't tell you anything."

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to your Tianyuan Palace and sit down. Chudi, you come too."

Jiang Li greeted the First Emperor.

After returning to the Tianyuan Palace, Jiang Li and Chu Di revealed their original appearance. Yu Yin was shocked. She didn't expect that the two looked exactly the same.

"Do you want to put the Ruyi Gourd outside?" Yu Yin pointed at the Ruyi Gourd around his waist. The Ruyi Gourd had intelligence, but with the Chu Emperor next to it, the Ruyi Gourd was inexplicably scared and didn't dare to speak.

Jiang Li waved his hand: "No need, it's not something confidential."

"I am Jiang Li, and he is also Jiang Li. You can also call him the First Emperor. We are both from parallel worlds. In our world, there is also you, Bai Hongtu, Commander Liu, and Immortal Changcun."

"Sure enough." Yu Yin was not surprised by this answer. She had heard the hypothesis about the parallel world from Xumi Buddha.

"You seemed... very disappointed with me just now?" Yu Yin said uncertainly.

Jiang Li sighed: "Yu Yin in my world will not plead for Meng Yu. If Meng Yu is my servant, she will be punished even more severely."

"How did you get to know Xianren, and what's your impression of him?"

"I met Xianren during an expedition to a secret realm. At that time, I had the Tianyuan royal family behind me, and Xianren was of ordinary birth and his cultivation was lower than mine. We shouldn't have had any encounters, but I encountered an enemy in the secret realm. Xianren and I fought fiercely and killed the enemy, but I didn't expect that the enemy still had a breath left. Before he died, he released the Hehuan Poison at me. If I didn't detoxify, he would explode and die. In order to save me, Xianren detoxified himself."

Jiang Li remembered that he and Yu Yin also met in that secret realm and encountered enemies who were sent by Prince Tianyuan’s younger brother.

Jiang Li and Yu Yin teamed up to kill the man, and then finished him off afterwards, leaving the enemy no chance to release the Hehuan poison.

The First Emperor seemed to be thinking about something. His experience was similar to Jiang Li's.

"Afterwards, I was worried that Crown Prince Tianyuan would know about this and take his anger out on others, so I kept it to myself and never told anyone else."

"I also want to stay away from idle people and never see them again."

"Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. It was as if God was playing a trick on us. Xianren and I kept bumping into each other. As we met more and more, I gradually became attracted to him."

Jiang Li listened to Yu Yin's description of the places where she met Xianren and shook his head slightly. He had never been to these places.

You don't need to ask to know that this is due to system tasks.

"During the Human Emperor Candidate Test, the old man saw that I had developed a private relationship, which hindered my cultivation and made it difficult for me to achieve great things. So he implicitly reminded me that I should either sever my relationship with the idler or withdraw from the candidacy."

"I was torn between my conscience and my desire to sever my relationship with Xianren. But later, in a life-threatening situation, Xianren was on the verge of death in order to save me. From that moment on, I fell in love with him completely and chose to withdraw from the candidate list for the Human Emperor."

Jiang Li remembered this incident. On that occasion, Yu Yin faced a life-and-death crisis, but he relied on himself to get through it. In the midst of life and death, he gained a deeper understanding of the martial arts and took this opportunity to break through from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Fusion Stage.

This was the first time among the trio to reach the fusion stage. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were both a step slower.

This is also why Yu Yin said, "Between life and death there are great terrors, but also great opportunities." One must break through the tribulation period from the test of life and death.

Yu Yin deliberately provoked the rebels of the Tianyuan Dynasty, experienced a life-and-death battle, and became a person in the Tribulation Crossing Period.

In the world of idle people, Yu Yin did not have this understanding, and did not deliberately pursue the test of life and death.

The Yu Yin in front of Jiang Li was only at the peak of the fusion stage.
