Chapter 255: River of Rebirth
The city lord showed a dangerous look on his face: "Are you bargaining with me?"
Li Shuang's whole body was tense.
She was ready to leave at any moment.
but.
Neither Lili nor the furnace showed any abnormal reactions.
Li Shuang gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I can agree to it casually. But do you really believe it, City Lord? Although my cultivation is low, I also know the principle of what to do and what not to do."
The city lord looked at her expressionlessly.
A powerful pressure was exerted on Li Shuang bit by bit.
Li Shuang only felt a sharp pain in his soul, and layers of cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
But she still couldn't detect any malice in the city lord.
Li Shuang struggled to hold on.
a long time.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the city lord's lips, and all the pressure disappeared in an instant.
She said calmly, "Don't worry, what I want you to do is not against the right path. You should have seen that I spread the Rebirth Art on purpose. If someone can practice the Rebirth Art to perfection, they can master the power of rebirth and walk on the Rebirth River. The Rebirth River is where the dead gather. I just hope you can find a dead soul for me, wake her up, and bring her back to me."
The city lord looked at Li Shuang and said, "That person is my sister. My sister is devoted to practicing Taoism, and has never had a trace of blood on her body. She is definitely not a wicked person. Waking her up will not go against the righteousness of heaven and earth."
Li Shuang was slightly stunned, with some emotion in her eyes.
The city lord's sister...
so.
Everything the city lord did was just for her sister.
Li Shuang's heart was touched, and she thought of someone at the same time.
Her mother.
After practicing the Rebirth Art to the end, she could actually walk on the Rebirth River. Would she still be able to see her mother? Li Shuang's body trembled slightly. She couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, all the dead souls are gathered on the Rebirth River. I...will I be able to see my mother?"
The city lord glanced at her and asked, "Is your mother a cultivator?"
Li Shuang quickly said, "He's just a mortal."
The city lord showed a trace of regret. "The Rebirth River is the place where the dead are reborn. Once you cross the Rebirth River, you will be reincarnated and start a new life. The reincarnation speed of mortals is much faster than that of cultivators. For mortals, it takes several years to cross the Rebirth River and reach the other side. By the time you have cultivated to perfection, your mother will most likely have been reincarnated."
Li Shuang couldn't help revealing a look of regret.
The city lord consoled him: "This is just the general situation. Your mother may be an exception."
Li Shuang naturally knew that this was just consolation. She calmed herself down and said, "If this is the case, I will do my best."
Li Shuang accepted the three pieces of thunder marrow and said solemnly, "If I can practice the Rebirth Art to perfection, I will definitely go to the Rebirth River and fulfill your long-cherished wish."
The city lord smiled and said, "Just do your best. You don't have to feel too much pressure. You are not the only one I am optimistic about. Among those who practice the Rebirth Art, some are about to break through to the third level. I have invested in advance in anyone who has the hope of practicing to great success. You are just one of them."
The city lord said this with a hint of loneliness in his expression.
My sister has been gone for too long.
She didn't mean to force her to stay in the world.
She just wanted to see her again and talk to her again.
For this little wish, she was willing to pay anything she could.
The one in front of me.
Originally, she hadn't taken it seriously enough.
but.
She was the only one who had chosen the Moon, and that made a difference.
What if she came from behind and won? In order to make Li willing to help in the future, it was necessary to make some investments at this time.
The city lord's mood suddenly became depressed.
Li Shuang didn't dare to speak and could only wait quietly.
a long time.
The city lord's calm voice rang out: "Let's go. It's time to fulfill our promise. I'll go out with you."
"Thank you, City Lord." Li Shuang said hurriedly.
The city lord nodded.
She walked slowly down the steps.
The body that was originally difficult to distinguish between real and fake slowly became solid, but her face still seemed to be covered with a veil, making it difficult to see through.
The city lord placed his cold hand gently on Li Shuang's shoulder.
Then.
The two of them left the City Lord's Mansion in an instant.
By the time Li Shuang reacted, she was already in the Wanfa Hall.
Hall of All Laws.
Everyone was discussing why the city lord suddenly summoned Li.
Sudden.
It's as if time and space have stopped.
Everyone's expression was frozen on their faces.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The words that were about to come out of my mouth suddenly couldn't be said anymore.
The corners of his lips also remain in this curvature, unable to move at all.
They stared blankly at the always mysterious woman in front of them, with a hint of horror in their eyes.
This is actually... the city lord himself! The terrifying feeling of oppression instantly dissipated.
Everyone knelt down in fear and said, "Greetings to the City Lord."
Even Gu Yuan Qingyan and others did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
He is the most powerful person in the world.
All the strong men from the five super sects combined returned empty-handed in Wanfa City.
How dare they be so presumptuous in front of the city lord.
The city lord glanced at the people kneeling below and suddenly named a name: "Gu Yuan."
Gu Yuan's body trembled slightly: "Yes!"
"Qingyan." The city lord ordered Qingyan again.
Taoist Qingyan hurriedly agreed.
"Among the five super sects, only Luoxia Sect and Demon Heaven Sect came." The city lord said calmly: "Well, the other super sects will be conveyed by the two of you."
The city lord clearly hasn't said anything yet.
Gu Yuan and Qing Yan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their backs, making them dare not even raise their heads.
Then.
They heard the woman's clear voice.
"Li is the daughter of an old friend of mine, and I taught her personally. I heard that you forced Li to worship you as your master? Do you think that my teaching ability is not as good as your five super sects?"
The woman's voice fell.
A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Gu Yuan and Qing Yan's eyes.
Gu Yuan was even a little shocked.
Li and the city lord, actually have this kind of relationship? No wonder! A peerless genius suddenly appeared in Wanfa City, but they could not find any trace of his growth.
The word "Sword Sect" that came out of his mouth was probably not true.
If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally not be able to resist his soul secrets, but since Li is related to the city lord, it is not surprising that he can resist his secrets.
No wonder the city lord personally received Li just because he casually handed over a piece of ice.
Gu Yuan understood now, he understood everything.
He left to challenge the Sixth Avenue Mountain, and made a stunning debut, causing sects to scramble for him.
This was completely in the city lord's plan.
The city lord secretly cultivated such a peerless genius, but she couldn't keep him hidden forever. The current situation was the city lord's carefully arranged appearance ceremony for Li.
And these people.
Just a stepping stone chosen by the city lord!
A powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage was actually used as a stepping stone! But Gu Yuan and others did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
