Chapter 116 The Dust Settles Fu Li stepped in, dazed...
Fu Li stepped in and walked forward in a daze, completely unaware of how anxious the three rhinoceros brothers who were blocked outside were.
After an unknown amount of time, a blinding white light suddenly appeared. Fu Li subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and her brain, which had been clouded by the mist, suddenly became clear for a moment.
She shook her head quickly, but it seemed as if it was filled with paste, and the more she shook, the more confused she became.
The white light was blinding for only a moment, then quickly became lustrous and gentle, like the delicate luster of the finest mutton-fat jade in the world.
Fu Li unconsciously lowered the hand that was covering her eyes, and her gaze subconsciously followed the only light source in this space.
The light came from a stone platform three steps in front of her. On the platform was a piece of jade the size of a watermelon. It was transparent and delicate, as smooth as butter, and continued to emit a faint light.
Fu Li's mind wasn't clear at the moment, and she hadn't yet remembered that she had traveled to a prehistoric world. Seeing a stone continuously glowing, she subconsciously felt a sense of vigilance.
— Holy crap, a glowing stone! How much radiation does that have to emit?
She paused and refused to take another step forward.
There was a voice in her head that kept comforting her, telling her that it was a flawless jade, priceless, and that as long as she held it in her hands, she would have an inexhaustible supply of resources.
Would Fu Li, the unlucky guy who only has memories of his past life, believe this?
Didn't you see how many face-to-face scams, telecom scams, and sales scams she'd encountered? Those scammers' words were much more pleasant than this.
Seeing that she refused to move forward, the voice in her head became anxious and urged, "Hurry up and get it, it will be too late if you are late!"
Fu Li: Hey, you're showing your true colors, right? I'm not taking it. You're just a scammer trying to drag me off to Southeast Asia to eat my kidneys.
The voice became even more anxious: "The people outside are about to come in, you can't beat them. If you don't believe me, just watch!"
Suddenly, a wave of water appeared in front of her eyes, and when the wave stopped, it turned into a high-definition display screen.
Ji Meng, Sanxiao, Mo'ang, and the more than 20 people she brought with her this time all appeared on the display screen.
However, they all looked extremely miserable. Some were tied up and thrown to the ground, some were trampled underfoot, some were chopped in half, and some had bloody heads and were wailing while covering their wounds...
Bai Ze, who had been captured, has been released. Standing with Bai Ze is a large crowd of people, led by a group of people with bird heads, with a total of nine heads.
Next to the man with nine bird heads stood a man in dark green clothes with a snake's tail. The most striking thing was his face, which was constantly changing.
At this time, Fu Li didn't recognize anyone, whether they were on his side or the enemy's side.
Therefore, she could count the changes on the snake-tailed man's face out of pure curiosity.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine! Wow, there are nine faces!" Fu Li was amazed and asked, "Do you know who he is? Why does he have so many faces?"
The voice in her head seemed to be choked by her, and after a long while, it said angrily: "All your people are about to die, aren't you anxious at all?"
"My people?"
Fu Li was startled, and a ray of light from the sky entered her mind, like boiling soup pouring on snow, or like the sun shining on clouds, and it instantly penetrated the layer of mist. The confusion that obscured her mind turned into fragments and disappeared without a trace.
Her expression changed, her eyes shot sharply at the glowing white jade, and she subconsciously took two steps back and asked warily, "Who are you?"
The old voice sounded again: "My dear, I am the spirit of Penglai Island. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"A destined person?" Fu Li raised her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered what the two Western saints said, "This thing has a destiny with me in the West."
If she remembered correctly, this was the ancient world. Although there were rules, the rule was generally that the strong were respected.
Just like the two saints of the West, if they set their eyes on a treasure, they can forcibly take it away with just one sentence: "It's destined to be with me in the West." To put it bluntly, the so-called fate depends on whether you are strong enough.
This Penglai Island had been hidden for many years, and suddenly appeared, saying that she was her destined person. Not to mention that she had been the King of Shu for many years, even the unlucky little guy who had just traveled through time would not believe such nonsense.
Fu Li scoffed inwardly, but kept a straight face. At the right moment, a look of confusion and surprise appeared on her face. "You are the spirit of Penglai Island, and I am the destined person of Penglai Island? Are you saying that the reason Penglai Island has been secluded for so many years is to wait for me?"
The old voice laughed and said, "Yes, those who are destined to meet are indeed smart."
Fu Li's mouth twitched: "Isn't that a bit too heartless of a compliment? Is this smart?"
"So...are you going to acknowledge me as your master? What should I do? Refine you? Or is there some other mechanism?"
The white light on the jade flickered. Though the old voice was trying its best, it still betrayed a hint of urgency: "That's right. Come forward, drip your heart's blood on me, and refine me."
"Can I...?" Fu Li asked unconfidently.
The old voice soothed him, "Of course. Good boy, come forward quickly, or we'll have more trouble."
Fu Li hesitated, raising her foot several times only to drop it again. Her eyes flickered as she asked, "But...but I'm only a Taiyi Xuanxian. Many people have higher cultivation than me. How can I be worthy of owning an immortal island?"
"This kind of thing depends on fate. What does it have to do with your cultivation level?" The voice was clearly impatient. "The people outside have already decided the winner. If you hesitate any longer, they will come in."
Fu Li's expression froze when she heard this: "No, we can't let them in!"
She suddenly took three or four steps forward, only one step away from the stone platform, and stretched out her left hand firmly.
Just before her fingers touched the jade, a suction force suddenly came from her wrist. The jade was completely out of control and drilled into the bracelet with countless time and space formations engraved inside.
Fu Li sneered, staring at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "As long as you stop causing trouble, Penglai Fairy Island will naturally be mine."
Her bracelet was modified by a saint. Once you enter it, don't even think about having any contact with the outside world.
Sure enough, after the jade was put into the bracelet, Fu Li's vision suddenly widened. Not only were the three rhinoceros monsters not far away from her, but even Sanxiao, Ji Meng and others were flying high in the sky above the island.
Fu Li called out, "Aunt, Sister Ji Meng."
The two sides had indeed decided the winner, but they were the victors. Bai Ze was still bound by her dragon-binding rope. Only three of Jiuying's nine heads remained, half-kneeling on the ground, clutching their chests. Blood splattered around their beaks and chests.
As for the snake demon whose face had nine different changes, he didn't show any external injuries, but he was already unconscious. He fell softly at Yunxiao's feet, dragging his snake tail.
Ji Meng nodded to her, and then took another look at the fairy island below him, praising: "It is indeed worthy of being Penglai, and its reputation is well-deserved!"
Yunxiao instructed her, "Good girl, just stay there and don't move until I deal with these bugs."
Fu Li responded, "Don't worry, auntie, I won't run around."
Seeing that they had the upper hand, she must have nothing better to do, so she ran out to cause trouble.
Ji Meng sneered, "Jiuying, you are no longer my match, not to mention the Three Sky Goddesses. I advise you to surrender and avoid further humiliation."
With only three heads left, Jiuying wiped the blood from his lips and sneered, "Surrender? Ji Meng, don't think everyone is like you, with a broken spine, begging for mercy from the human race."
He used his iron whip to support himself, staggered to his feet, pointed the whip at Ji Meng, and shouted, "Come on. Considering that we both served the Demon Emperor, please don't let me die at the hands of a junior disciple."
When the Demon Court was in its heyday, Zhao Gongming and the Three Heavens had just joined the sect. In the eyes of Jiuying, weren't they just juniors?
Ji Meng's expression became complicated, and he sighed, "Why are you doing this? This is fate, and it's not something a single clan or group can defy."
"Destiny?" Jiuying sneered. "My demon race also had destiny, but we hate that things in the world are so unpredictable. This is true for the demon race, and so is it for the witch race. Who knows how long the destiny of the human race can last?"
Ji Meng was speechless.
She had long known that Jiuying looked down on the human race. In his eyes, the human race was no different from those unintelligent birds and beasts; they were all food for him.
But Ji Meng did not expect that the Demon Court had been destroyed for so many years, and the creatures in the three realms had already confirmed that the human race was the protagonist of heaven and earth, but Jiuying was still so stubborn.
She turned to look at the Three Heavens: "Three fellow Daoists..."
Yun Xiao raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, please, we will not interfere in your battle."
Jiuying is also a character. Unlike Bai Ze who is insidious and cunning, even if the two sides are enemies, Sanxiao is willing to give him a decent death.
Ji Meng bowed and said, "Thank you three fellow Taoists."
She took a step forward, holding the short spear in both hands, and said sternly, "Brother Jiuying, this is the last time I will call you brother. You and I have long since gone our separate ways, and there is no need to show mercy in this battle."
Jiuying's eyes were sharp: "That's exactly what I want!"
He was already seriously injured, and after just a few dozen moves, his remaining three lives were all lost to Ji Meng.
He used up his last bit of strength to tightly grasp the short spear that was stabbed into his chest, staring straight at Ji Meng: "Just now, I let you three moves, gave you three chances to kill me. Do you recognize me?"
Ji Meng nodded with a complicated look in his eyes: "I admit it."
Even with the Three Heavens present, Jiuying was doomed to die today. But the fact that Ji Meng was able to kill him so easily was clearly due to Jiuying deliberately revealing a flaw.
He was actually asking for death, and he wanted to die with dignity.
"Okay." Jiuying coughed up a mouthful of blood. "I don't dare to make any big requests. I just have one small favor to ask for, and I hope my sister will do it for me."
Ji Meng felt a little reluctant, closed his eyes and nodded: "You say."
Jiuying said, "I have a son. The karma he inherited from me has been completely eliminated by the merits I have accumulated over the years. But he is stubborn by nature and, like me, refuses to listen to advice.
I don't dare to ask you to teach him, I just hope that if he gets into trouble in the future, you can save his life. From the bottom of the nine springs to the vast universe, I will be grateful to you. "
Seeing Ji Meng nod, he took his last breath.
Ji Meng sighed, picked up Bai Ze and the snake demon who could change his face in one hand each, walked to Fu Li, and asked Fu Li not to pursue the demons brought by Jiuying.
"As for those who followed Bai Ze, I have already killed them all."
After witnessing the end of a hero, Fu Li felt a little emotional and nodded, "Let's do as you say, sister."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Meng thanked him, turned around and walked to the monsters, telling them they could leave.
Those monsters thought they were going to die, but they didn't expect there was still a way to survive. They were surprised and grateful.
One of the Bifang monsters told Ji Meng that Jiuying did not get the news from Bai Ze, but it was Jiuying who took the initiative to find Bai Ze after he learned that Penglai was born.
As for who it was, he didn't know.
Ji Meng nodded, thanked him, and asked him to take the remaining men and disperse quickly.
What happened next was a piece of cake for Sanxiao. The spirits born on Penglai Island had been completely trapped by Fuli and could not last for many years. Naturally, the island became ownerless.
What else is there to say? Just follow the process of occupying a blessed land, set up a set of protective arrays, killing arrays, trapping arrays, and maze arrays, ensuring that without Fu Li's permission, no one outside can enter and no one inside can leave.
Forming formations was the Jiejiao's specialty. With Zhao Gongming's sponsorship, Fuli had no shortage of materials, and with the help of the Three Heavenly Gods, she had completed the entire project in just two months.
All the followers stationed at the foot of Mount Emei moved here. Everyone used their strengths, some built houses, some repaired bridges, some tidied up the medicinal gardens... and soon they settled down.
The good thing about having so many talented people under my command is that.
Just at this time, Fu Li sensed that Ling Zhuzi had come out of seclusion, and immediately used summoning magic to pull the person to his side.
