Chapter 1116 Busy and fulfilling
Xie Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and his fingers gripping the Yuehua Sword tightened slightly, "I understand."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "That's good."
Lan Qingqing stretched lazily and said, "Alright, now that there's nothing more fun to watch, I'll take Hei Shuo with me and continue training those disciples."
Luo Li nodded, "Go ahead."
Hei Shuo's brows twitched slightly when he heard this, but he finally followed Lan Qingqing's footsteps in silence.
The disciples who had originally breathed a sigh of relief saw the two men turning back from afar and immediately wailed.
"Everyone, stand still!" Lan Qingqing stood at the sidelines with her hands on her hips, clapping her hands with a smile. "I was lazy just now. You'll have to practice for three extra hours today!"
Xie Shiyuan looked at the group of sad-looking disciples from afar and couldn't help but chuckle.
She turned to Luo Li and asked, "You let the two of them train these young disciples, aren't you afraid that they might become corrupted?"
Luo Li looked at the chaotic training ground in the distance, a sly smile in her eyes: "Although Qingqing likes to make trouble, she is never vague when teaching people. As for Hei Shuo——"
She paused, "If those children can survive three months under his control, they will at least be able to save their lives when they encounter real demons in the future."
Xie Shiyuan sighed, "Yes, the sky of the Continent of Gods is probably really going to change."
She glanced at the sky and said, "I'm afraid I have to go back first. I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Luo Li nodded, "Let's go back."
Xie Shiyuan smiled and said, "When I'm free, I'll bring them both to see you."
Luo Li also smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After Xie Shiyuan left, Luo Li also left the martial arts training ground.
After returning to the yard, Di Xuanming made tea in the yard.
Luo Li chuckled, "Now you seem to be at ease."
Di Xuanming raised his eyes, a gentle smile spreading in his eyes.
He picked up the green jade teapot, and the amber tea drew a graceful arc in the air. "How can I call it leisurely to make tea for you?"
Luo Li sat down across from him, her chin in her hand as she watched the tea leaves floating in the teacup. "Xuan Ming, when you were the head of the Netherworld, did you also make tea like this every day?"
Emperor Xuanming paused for a moment, and amidst the lingering aroma of tea, he whispered, "There is no tea in the Nine Netherworlds, only blood."
He chuckled, "So naturally I only make tea when I have free time."
These words suddenly made the courtyard quiet.
A spiritual leaf fluttered down onto the stone table, and Luo Li reached out to catch it. She turned the leaf over, watching the sunlight streaming through its veins. Suddenly, she said, "Once the matter of the Gods Continent is settled, I'll take you back to Tianyuan Continent to drink the Snowtop Cloud Mist. That spiritual tea only appears once every century, and you've definitely never tasted it."
Emperor Xuanming smiled: "Okay."
After a short break, Luo Li went straight to the medicine pavilion to teach the alchemists how to make pills.
As night fell, Luo Li returned to the yard and began to research new elixirs.
In such a busy and fulfilling life, the days pass one by one.
The time of March passed by like flowing water in the city.
One day, Luo Li was instructing several great lords and alchemists in refining the Xuanling Pill in the medicine pavilion, when suddenly the sound transmission stone on her waist felt slightly hot.
She raised her fingertips, and Lan Xiaoxiao's urgent voice came from the sound transmission stone:
"Ali, hurry back to the City Lord's Mansion! Something happened!"
Luo Li's eyes narrowed, and she immediately handed the alchemy furnace to the alchemist beside her. Her figure transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion was as heavy as iron.
Shi Heng stood in the center, flanked by Luo Yuanxiu, Lan Xiaoxiao, Yuechu and the others, all with solemn expressions.
Luo Li stepped into the hall and glanced at everyone, "What happened?"
Lan Xiaoxiao hurried over, holding a shattered jade tablet in her hand. "This morning, three cities on the northern border lost contact simultaneously. This is the message from the northern border: the life tablets of the border commanders have all been shattered."
Luo Li took the jade token, and when her fingertips touched the crack, a cold aura wrapped around her fingertips.
She frowned slightly, "Demonic energy."
"That's right," Shi Heng said, "The King of the Northern Territory said it was the Demon God Palace that did it. I didn't expect them to stay quiet for too long and actually attack the Northern Territory again."
Luo Li raised her eyes. "What did the King of the North send a message for? Is it a request for help?"
Mu Ze said, "We didn't ask for help. The King of the Northern Territory said that he can still hold the Northern Territory together. He sent us a message to be on guard in case the Demon God Temple suddenly attacks us."
Luo Li said, "We can't just sit back and watch. So, take some of the elixirs I prepared and send them to the northern border."
She took out some spiritual weapons from the Tower of the Gods, including a Saint King weapon, and said, "Give the Saint King weapon to the King of the North, and let him handle the rest."
Mu Ze took the spiritual weapon and nodded solemnly: "I will arrange it right away."
Luo Li looked at Shi Heng again, "The defense formation of Buli City needs to be strengthened. Since the Demon God Temple dared to attack a small area in the northern border, there is no guarantee that it will not harm us."
Shi Heng nodded, "I have already asked the formation masters to start strengthening the formation. In addition, the patrols in the city have also been increased."
Luo Li pondered for a moment, "Also, let Hei Shuo and Qing Qing rest for a while, and the task of training the disciples will be temporarily handed over to others."
Lan Xiaoxiao said with some concern: "Ali, do you think the Demon God Temple's sudden action this time is due to a bigger conspiracy?"
Luo Li's eyes were slightly cold. "No matter what conspiracy they have, we must be fully prepared."
She looked at everyone and said firmly, "Everyone, please work harder during this period. Please be vigilant. If you see anything unusual, report it immediately."
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"
After the meeting, Luo Li stood alone on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion, gazing into the distance.
The night is dark and the stars are dim, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.
Di Xuanming appeared beside her silently and handed her a cup of hot tea. "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Li took the tea and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea penetrated into her heart and slightly eased her tension.
"I'm wondering, after being silent for several months, the Demon God Temple suddenly attacked the North. What exactly is their goal?"
Di Xuanming's eyes were deep. "Perhaps, they are testing me."
"Probing?"
"Testing the reactions of various factions, testing our strength," Di Xuanming said calmly. "The Northern Territory is just the beginning; their ambitions won't stop there. However, their choice of the Northern Territory as their target probably doesn't mean they're completely fearless. After all, Beijing has always been reclusive, and it has few overt allies on the mainland."
Luo Li clenched the teacup tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. "No matter what, I won't let them succeed."
Di Xuanming reached out and placed his hand on the back of hers, feeling the warmth. "I will always be with you."
Luo Li turned her head to look at him, a faint smile on her lips, "I know."
The next morning, Mu Ze set off for the northern border with a group of disciples, elixirs and spiritual weapons.
Luo Li personally escorted him out of the city and warned him, "Be careful on the road. If you see anything unusual, report it immediately."
