Chapter 969: So That's It
Wen Xingyan's expression also turned ugly. "No wonder the Lord looked so unhappy when the news came out."
Luo Li sighed softly, "So, be careful about everything. When you go to the Ninth Heaven, try to stay with me."
Wen Xingyan and the other two nodded solemnly, "Okay."
Luo Li took a look at the surroundings and took out three pills and handed them to them, "Shi Yuan, Xing Yan, you should try your best to break through to the Lord level before going to the Ninth Heaven. With the help of the pills, half a month is more than enough."
After giving the pills to the three people, Luo Li left.
This matter is of great importance, she must go back and not leave the city.
As for Xuan Mu and the others, we will see each other on the day of the ninth level trial.
Never leave the city.
Shi Heng and Feng Wuhen, who received the message from Luo Li, sat in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion with serious expressions.
"Such a monster is hidden in the forbidden land of the Nine Heavens!" Shi Heng looked worried.
Feng Wuhen's expression was also very unhappy. "As far as I know, there are more than one forbidden area like this on the mainland."
Just before the two of them were about to turn their thoughts around, Lan Xiaoxiao's voice came from outside, "Teacher Shi Heng, A Li is back!"
Shi Heng immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
As soon as Luo Li entered the City Lord's Mansion, she was surrounded by Lan Xiaoxiao and others who were coming towards her:
"Are you okay, Ari?"
"What exactly is that weird thing?"
Several people talked at once, asking questions one after another.
Luo Li quickly raised her hand and said, "Can we go in and talk slowly?"
"good!"
As he walked inside, Feng Wuhen and Shi Heng also came over.
Luo Li nodded slightly, "You've come just in time, let's talk inside."
The candlelight in the meeting hall flickered, illuminating the solemn faces of the people.
Luo Li said in a deep voice: "You all saw the photo stone I sent back earlier."
Shi Heng's face darkened slightly as he nodded, "I've already looked at it. Is it a demon seed? But it doesn't look quite like one."
Luo Li began to explain, telling them what she had seen in the forbidden area and the news she had gotten from the 'Son of God'.
After hearing her words, everyone fell into a brief silence.
Feng Wuhen spoke first, "You said that the experimental subject mistook you for someone else. You also have the jade pendant. Can you take it out and take a look at it?"
"Okay." Luo Li nodded and placed the strange jade pendant on the table.
Feng Wuhen reached out to take the jade pendant, and his fingertips carefully stroked the green lotus pattern.
When he turned to the word "Dust" on the back, his pupils suddenly contracted and the jade pendant almost fell out of his hand.
"This is..." His voice trembled, "The Green Emperor's token!"
The meeting hall exploded instantly.
Shi Heng stood up suddenly: "What did you say?!"
Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Green Emperor? The Green Emperor who sealed the Demonic Abyss single-handedly during the Great Desolation Period?!"
Feng Wuhen turned the jade pendant over and pointed at the almost invisible cloud pattern below the word "Chen" on the back. "Look at this mark. It was the unique symbol of the Qing Emperor's lineage back then."
Luo Li's heart was shocked.
She recalled the silver-haired man struggling in agony in the forbidden area, and the occasional flash of clarity in his left golden eye... Could he really be...
"That's not right." Shi Heng suddenly interrupted her thoughts. "Rumor has it that the Green Emperor, like the Saint Emperor Shi, died a martyr, his soul annihilated. How could he still be alive?"
Feng Wuhen clenched the jade pendant tightly. "But what if someone collected his remaining soul? Since Yan Ye is still alive today, there might be other ancient gods who have a backup plan."
Luo Li frowned slightly, raised her hand and waved, awakening Bai Ze and Xing Yi in the Tower of Gods and summoning them out.
They woke up in an instant, both of them feeling a little confused.
It was Bai Ze who had sensed the danger earlier and reacted first, "Luo Li, are you okay?"
Luo Li shook her head. "I'm fine. I called you out because I wanted you to see this."
She picked up the jade pendant and placed it in Bai Ze's hand. "Do you recognize this thing?"
When Bai Ze saw the jade pendant, he frowned slightly, then an idea flashed in his mind. "Is this the Qing family's token from the Great Wilderness period? Where did you get this?"
Bai Ze's fingertips trembled slightly, and the jade pendant glowed faintly in his palm, and the green lotus patterns slowly stretched out as if coming alive.
He suddenly looked up, shock flashing in his heterochromatic eyes: "This is not an ordinary token - it's the Green Emperor's natal jade!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Yi immediately leaned in for a closer look, and suddenly pointed at an almost invisible crack on the edge of the jade pendant. "Look at this! When the Green Emperor blew up his soul to seal the Demon Abyss, his natal jade should have shattered along with it..."
Luo Li's heartbeat quickened slightly: "So this jade pendant was recast later?"
"No," Bai Ze suddenly pressed the jade pendant on the table and formed a complicated seal with his other hand.
As the golden light seeped into the jade, the entire jade pendant suddenly projected a three-dimensional image - countless golden threads intertwined into the shape of a green lotus, with a large ball of black mist entwined in the center.
Xing Yi gasped: "Is this...Soul Parasitism?!"
Feng Wuhen's brows knitted tightly together. "You mean...someone is using the Green Emperor's remaining soul as food?"
At this moment, the image suddenly shook violently, and a scarlet vertical pupil opened in the black fog.
Bai Ze groaned and withdrew the spell. The jade pendant fell to the table with a "bang", and its surface was covered with fine cracks.
Xing Yi suddenly pressed Luo Li's shoulder: "Be careful!"
"boom--!"
The moment the jade pendant exploded, a streak of black light shot directly between Luo Li's eyebrows. The Tower of the Gods automatically protected its master, and the azure light and black light collided, producing a dazzling burst of light.
When the light faded, everyone discovered that there was a bloody vertical mark on Luo Li's forehead.
Lan Xiaoxiao screamed: "Ali!"
Luo Li raised her hand to indicate that it was okay.
Her pupils had turned into strange gold and silver colors, and her voice sank slightly, "So that's how it is... Yan Ye didn't really want to revive the Green Emperor, but simply reborn a body with the Green Emperor's bloodline and the power of the demon seed. This way, he could obtain a demon seed with pure bloodline that could escape the eyes of the laws of heaven and earth."
Then, Luo Li's eyes returned to normal, and the only remaining light on the jade pendant disappeared again.
Everyone immediately understood, "A true god doesn't need any ancient gods. What he needs is a demon species that can bypass the eyes of the laws of heaven and earth. In short, a demon species that has the potential to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth!"
"That's right." Luo Li nodded seriously.
Feng Wuhen gritted his teeth, "What a lunatic! We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
Luo Li pursed her lips. "The one in Wanhua Territory with Qingchen's remnant soul hasn't been successful yet, but we don't know the situation in other places either."
She thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Bai Ze, do you know who Ming Ge is?"
"Ming Ge?" Bai Ze was slightly surprised. "She was the first Saintess of the ancient Lingwu clan of the Great Wilderness. However, in records and inherited memories, she is referred to by her title 'Qing Yin'. The name Ming Ge is only recorded in ancient books and passed down orally."
