A deep sense of doubt was etched on his face.
This matter.
Suddenly, the fact that his teammates had died in battle didn't seem so shocking anymore...
Li Xunle simply nodded slightly without saying a word.
Xia Shan looked Li Xunle up and down.
Seeing the other person's luxurious attire, they were somewhat stunned.
He quickly turned to look at Zuo Jiutian and asked:
"Could this be our newly appointed guardian of the Xia Kingdom?"
Zuo Jiutian's expression was complicated:
"His strength far surpasses that of the Xia Kingdom's guardian, but he lacks the status of the Xia Kingdom's guardian..."
Speaking of which...
Zuo Jiutian suddenly asked Li Xunle:
"By the way, Li Xunle, would you be willing to take on the position of guardian of the Xia Kingdom?"
Li Xunle gently shook his head:
"I'm used to being free and easy, and I don't like being restrained."
Zuo Jiutian, Mei Changshu, and the others all showed a hint of regret on their faces.
actually.
They had previously analyzed Li Xunle's personality.
He is cynical and irresponsible, but also principled and loyal.
However, based on the analysis, he doesn't like being restrained.
They always felt that Li Xunle wouldn't easily put himself in shackles...
so.
They didn't have much hope for this, and they never mentioned it.
only.
Since we've come this far, there's no harm in asking.
As expected, the result was as predicted.
Xia Shan looked at Li Xunle with a complicated expression:
"Anyway, thank you for bringing me back to life..."
Li Xunle waved his hand casually:
"It's alright, I was the one who killed them anyway, so resurrecting them is just after-sales service..."
Xia Shan was taken aback upon hearing this.
The way you're talking makes it sound like... you're starting a business!
Li Xunle quickly checked the cooldown of [Rebirth from the Ashes], and it was ready.
then.
He gently waved his dazzling staff, and red flames drifted toward Zhuge Nong's body.
Flames enveloped Zhuge Nong's body, burning fiercely.
Seeing this scene, Xia Shan's usually composed face finally broke down:
"Li...Li Xunle, what are you doing?"
Li Xunle explained with a mixture of melancholy and helplessness:
"This is a resurrection."
"Ah, this..."
Xia Shan frowned and looked at Zuo Jiutian with a puzzled expression.
But Zuo Jiutian remained calm and was nodding gently.
Twenty seconds later.
Zhuge Nong, who was on the ground, woke up with the same look of surprise and doubt as Xia Shan.
After Xia Shan gave a brief explanation.
Zhuge Nong was skeptical, but curiously sized up Li Xunle.
Is this young man really as amazing as they say?
At this moment.
Zuo Jiutian immediately said to Xia Shan:
"Xia Shan, tell me more about the Cosmic Cube!"
Xia Shan nodded:
"Well, it's a long story, it all started about two weeks ago. That day, we went to a strange place: withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; a small bridge, flowing water, and a humble dwelling; an ancient road, a west wind, and a lean horse; the setting sun; and a heartbroken traveler at the ends of the earth..."
A black line appeared on Zuo Jiutian's forehead:
"I know you like classical Chinese poetry, but could you please be concise and to the point?"
Xia Shan paused, then slowly spoke:
"I just wanted to describe it in a more vivid way..."
Okay, to put it simply, the cats have their eyes on us, and this involves the mess left behind by our predecessor Ji Wuqing twenty years ago.
Zuo Jiutian was stunned:
"A cat? The tail left behind by Senior Ji Wuqing?"
Zhuge Nong added from the side:
"I heard that the reason why Senior Ji Wuqing was able to become a sword immortal was because he won the fight with the cat people for the magic cube treasure. But somehow the cat people found out about it and have been causing trouble for us Earthlings ever since."
Li Xunle listened with a puzzled expression.
Cats, does that mean there are also dogs?
Are there any Ant-like aliens? Or Stone-like aliens?
This is so damn interesting...
Myriad races, myriad races, this is myriad races coming to life!
Just as Li Xunle was about to burst out laughing.
Xia Shan added:
"The cat even boasted that it would relentlessly hunt down any human it encountered... unless Ji Wuqing is handed over!"
Zuo Jiutian frowned slightly:
"How is this possible? Nonsense!"
Even if Senior Ji Wuqing were still alive, let alone disappeared without a trace, it would be impossible for him to be handed over.
Moreover.
"Didn't Senior Ji Wuqing disappear without a trace in the Cosmic Cube a long time ago?"
Mei Changshu also seemed a little confused:
"I remember the four of us had encountered cats once before, but we hadn't mentioned this..."
Xia Shan wore a wry smile:
"Yes, but the trouble is that recently, I heard that a second-stage powerhouse has been born among the cats, so revenge has come."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Jiutian and Mei Changshu's expressions changed drastically.
The power of a second-tier expert.
They both knew it very well.
If a first-level expert is considered strong, they can fight against ten ordinary level 100 experts.
So.
A second-tier expert can fight against a hundred ordinary level 100 experts and easily contend with ten-star monsters and ferocious beasts.
before.
Ji Wuqing spent a considerable amount of time hunting down ten-star ferocious beasts to obtain enough equipment and job change scrolls as reserves before re-entering the Cosmic Cube.
Before leaving.
He said he wanted to explore the four-star world.
The aim is to provide some experience and direction for the growth of future generations of the Great Xia.
only.
For the next twenty years.
Ji Wuqing never returned.
Zuo Jiutian and the others had always harbored doubts and regrets, not knowing whether Ji Wuqing was alive or dead.
At this moment.
Zuo Jiutian suddenly turned to look at Li Xunle, and said earnestly:
"Li Xunle, I know you are very strong, even stronger than Senior Ji Wuqing. After you go to the Cosmic Cube, please keep an eye out for Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts when you have time. I would be very grateful. If you do find out where he is, I will give you the Cube Key and the Job Change Book."
Mei Changshu looked at Li Xunle earnestly and said:
“Indeed, Senior Ji Wuqing is a pioneer of our Xia Kingdom and even Blue Star. He has made great contributions and carried heavy burdens. Please help us keep an eye out for his whereabouts. Whether he is alive or dead, we will accept it.”
Xia Shan looked helpless:
"Although we have been keeping an eye on Senior Ji Wuqing's whereabouts, our strength is limited and we have not found any clues."
However, what is relatively clear is that we haven't found any trace of Senior Ji Wuqing in the one-star, two-star, and three-star worlds. We speculate that he should be at least in the four-star world.
Upon hearing this, Li Xunle fell into deep thought.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he were thinking about something, without saying a word.
All eyes were on Li Xunle.
In terms of strength.
This ancestor was absolutely invincible.
There's probably nothing he can't accomplish if he sets his mind to it; it just depends on whether he's willing to or not.
If he were willing to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Senior Ji Wuqing.
That would greatly increase the probability of finding Ji Wuqing's whereabouts.
After a while.
Li Xunle finally spoke:
"In which world do Rubik's Cube Messengers usually reside?"
Mei Changshu pondered for a moment:
"The Cube Messenger's whereabouts are mysterious and unclear, but every world has a Cube Palace or Cube Prison, where you can usually find traces of the Cube Messenger."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunle's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
A Rubik's Cube Palace? A Rubik's Cube Prison?
He couldn't help but marvel at how things were getting more and more interesting...
Mei Changshu seemed to sense Li Xunle's confusion and explained:
"The Rubik's Cube Palace is the place where the Rubik's Cube messengers reside in the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, maintaining the basic order of a world."
The Magic Cube Prison is used to imprison powerful, abnormal, and disruptive adventurers.
Li Xunle's gaze was deep and unfathomable:
"Whose henchmen are the Rubik's Cube Messengers? What would happen if they were all wiped out?"
(P.S.: Added later.)
