After confirming the Green-Winged Bat King's true identity, Su Rui's mind suddenly flooded with many thoughts, but after careful consideration, he shook his head helplessly. After all, with his current abilities and cultivation, attempting to confront those unfathomable old monsters head-on would be like hitting a rock with an egg, seeking his own death.
Fortunately, he still had Xiaotu, his capable assistant, by his side. With his unpredictable abilities, he could at least ensure that those old monsters couldn't track his whereabouts for a short period of time. In that case, he might as well just let them run around like headless flies!
However, at this moment, Su Rui no longer dared to linger near Putuo Sect. No one could tell whether the old monsters behind the Green-Winged Bat King were still calculating his exact location. If they accidentally injured Wu Qianqian, it would be disastrous! This was definitely not a situation Su Rui wanted to see.
Su Rui suspected that those selfish, ruthless old monsters wouldn't take the Green-Winged Bat King's mysterious disappearance after attacking Putuo Sect too seriously. The aftermath of their previous siege of Tongqu County was a clue—these old monsters treated their incompetent subordinates like dirt, showing no mercy at all! In their eyes, achieving immortality was the most important thing; everything else was insignificant. Even if the entire world were destroyed, they wouldn't care at all!
That night, the moon was like a silver plate and the stars were like gems.
Su Rui and Chi Jiao turned into two streaks of light and left Putuo Sect like two meteors, rushing towards Qiongzhou City.
After wandering in the South China Sea for a long time and facing the threat from the forces behind the Green-Winged Bat King, Su Rui became increasingly concerned about his elderly parents and decided to return to Tongqu County to visit them.
He didn't say goodbye to Wu Qianqian, as he wasn't one for sentimental romance. As for Ao Ying, it was just a chance encounter, and Su Rui had only stayed in Putuo Sect because of Chi Jiao's True Dragon status. Now Chi Jiao was returning to Qingcheng with him, while Ao Ying planned to remain in the South Sea to continue her cultivation, awaiting her tribulation and ascension!
The distance between the Three Thousand Islands of the South China Sea and Qiongzhou City was not far, and Su Rui's current flying speed was more than double that of his time at sea. Therefore, after two days of flight, he and Chi Jiao appeared in Qiongzhou City like birds in flight!
Setting foot on the land of Qiongzhou City again, Su Rui was filled with emotion. Compared to the unfamiliarity he felt when he first arrived and his eager anticipation for exploring the Immortal Palace, he now felt a sense of familiarity, like meeting an old friend again.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Qiongzhou City, every scene and every corner made Su Rui feel familiar.
Recalling the secret method of the Nine Transformations of Sea Eel that he had obtained here, Su Rui suddenly wanted to meet the freckled girl known as "Boss Bao" to see if his master had come out of seclusion and whether she could refine a flying treasure ship for him?
With this in mind, Su Rui decided to visit the place where the girl had practiced. Relying on his memory, he found the location of the three-story building near the sea.
However, what he saw shocked him greatly—the once tall building had collapsed into ruins! On the ruins, traces of a fierce battle remained, clearly a battle that had taken place not long ago.
Su Rui looked at the ruins from afar, a trace of doubt and curiosity welling up in his heart, but then he shook his head and gave up the idea of looking for the freckled girl. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
So, he patted the red dragon's head and prepared to turn and leave. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from a nearby alley and knelt directly in front of him.
"My dear, please save Boss Bao!"
The voice seemed familiar. Su Rui looked closely and was stunned - the person in front of him was actually the young man who had sold him the "treasure ship" in Qiongzhou City, the guy called "Xiao Liu" by the freckled girl!
Of course Su Rui recognized him, and the other party also recognized Su Rui. Xiao Liu's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were full of pleading.
"What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly and clearly, and then I'll consider whether to help."
Su Rui reached out and helped Xiaoliu up. At the same time, he looked around and made sure that no one else noticed them. Then he led Xiaoliu into a nearby pub and found a secluded corner to sit down.
After the two of them sat down, Su Rui took a sip from his wine glass, then looked at Xiao Liu and said slowly, "Now you can tell me. But let me be frank. If it's just some complicated personal grudge, I'm afraid I can't do anything. Although I, Su Erlang, have a sense of justice, I don't want to meddle in every matter. I can't think of myself as the local city god, can I?"
He was being frank and telling the truth. He might offer a helping hand if it was within his capabilities, but when it came to complex interpersonal disputes or other difficult issues, he simply didn't have the heart to get involved.
"When I came here that day, I saw from afar that Boss Bao and a demon covered in black air were fighting fiercely. The demon made hand gestures, muttered something, and then suddenly waved his sleeves. A powerful force gushed out and directly collapsed Boss Bao's small building! Upon seeing this, Boss Bao roared, took off into the air, and started a thrilling air battle with the demon. They fought back and forth in the air, and finally flew to the sea together. I was stunned at the time, and I didn't know what to do..." The young man's face was pale, and his voice trembled as he narrated what happened that day, as if he was still immersed in fear.
