"What is that?" Under the illumination of the lightning that lasted for a long time, Li Xiu took a quick glance and saw two strange figures in the clouds, who seemed to be standing in the clouds.

One was dressed in black and the other in white. Their bodies looked like humans, but their faces were like those of evil spirits. The black monster in the clouds was holding a black stick in his hand, and the white man had a white cloth draped over his shoulders. They looked down from the clouds, as if they were staring at Li Xiu intently.

The lightning flashed and disappeared, and Li Xiu lost his sight, but the appearance of the two monsters was imprinted in his mind, especially the eyes of the two monsters, which were much larger than human eyes, so their proportions seemed quite strange.

This was not the main reason that left a deep impression on Li Xiu. What was even more terrifying was the look in those two pairs of eyes. They were cold, evil, and bloodthirsty, as if they were beasts eyeing their prey. Even Li Xiu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by those two pairs of eyes.

Another flash of lightning appeared in the clouds, and Li Xiu saw again the place where the two figures appeared just now, but he could not see anything. The clouds were empty, as if there was nothing.

Li Xiu frowned slightly, and without time to think about it, he continued to rush forward in the rain riding on the Masked Emperor.

It seemed as if the sky and the earth were hung with pearl curtains. Li Xiu continued to accelerate in the rain curtains, and the speed of the Masked Emperor also soared to the extreme. The flames emitted from the exhaust pipe and the two sides splashed the accumulated water on the ground everywhere. Where the wheels passed, the accumulated water spread out like lotus leaves.

Boom!

The sound of thunder above his head became louder and louder, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to press down on Li Xiu's head. The clouds were as black as ink and so thick that they seemed to be about to drip down.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of Li Xiu. The monster in black clothes and holding a black stick stood not far in front of him at some point.

Because of the rain blocking his view, Li Xiu only discovered him when he was about to hit the black shadow.

It was too late to brake. The car was going at such a fast speed and there was water on the ground. If Li Xiu steered now, even if the Masked Emperor had the support of the flames on both sides, it would probably not be able to stop the car from overturning.

Unable to steer, and also too late to brake, Li Xiu made a decision in an instant. He left the seat, bent his legs slightly, pulled his hands up, and the masked emperor raised his head directly into the sky, leaping over the top of the black shadow.

The motorcycle fell heavily to the ground, and the wheels slipped and shook uncontrollably. Li Xiu held the handlebars of the motorcycle tightly with both hands, forcibly controlling the Masked Emperor to prevent him from falling.

But as soon as he landed, Li Xiu's face turned ugly. The monster in white had stood in front of him without him knowing when.

The masked emperor landed less than two meters away from the white-clothed monster and instantly rushed to its face.

Even with Li Xiu's reaction ability, there was no better solution at this time. The masked emperor had just fallen down and couldn't keep his balance. There was no way for him to make any adjustments.

Li Xiu gritted his teeth, grabbed the handlebars, and crashed into the monster in white.

The expected collision did not happen. Li Xiu and his car passed through together, as if the monster in white was just an illusion and not a real existence at all.

After Li Xiu passed through, he subconsciously looked back, but found that there was nothing where the white monster was just now, only heavy rain falling continuously.

Li Xiu frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and continued riding forward.

After riding for a while, Li Xiu found that something seemed wrong. He had been riding for so long but didn't see a sword-making workshop.

He should have been able to see several sword-making workshops along the way. Even if some of them were far away and could not be seen in the rain, there was one right on the way back. However, he had been riding for so long that he should have come across it, but in the end he saw nothing.

"Something's wrong!" Li Xiu continued to ride forward. He had a strong sense of distance and direction. Even if he couldn't see anything and didn't have more reference points, it was impossible for him to go the wrong way. This made him have a bad feeling.

After riding for a while, he no longer saw the monster in black and the monster in white, but Li Xiu stopped by himself, put away the masked emperor, and stood in the rain looking around.

According to his judgment, he should have arrived at the location of the workshop by now, but there was nothing here.

"Could it be that I have entered an illusion?" Li Xiu directly denied this idea. With his spiritual awareness, if this was an illusion, he should have discovered it long ago.

This is definitely not an illusion, but for some reason, the sword-making workshop that was supposed to be here has disappeared.

"What's going on?" Li Xiu looked up at the clouds that were flashing lightning from time to time. He saw dense raindrops falling from the sky and hitting his body. His tights were almost soaked.

Snap!

There was another loud thunder, and it seemed to sound right next to Li Xiu's ears, almost deafening him.

Li Xiu covered his ears and lowered his head, shaking off the rain on his face. But when he raised his head again, he was shocked. The white-clothed monster's face, as pale as a paper man, was right in front of Li Xiu, almost face to face with Li Xiu.

Li Xiu tapped the ground with his toes, and a powerful force burst out from his toes, causing him to retreat three feet away.

But when he looked again, he couldn't see the monster in white anymore.

Li Xiu's mind moved, and the Fire Lotus Sword flew out automatically, turning into a sword lotus that wrapped his body inside. The rain that fell on the sword lotus was directly blocked outside by the Fire Lotus sword light.

"Wow! What the hell is that thing?" Li Xiu looked around with the help of the light of the Fire Lotus Sword, but saw nothing.

Under the protection of the Fire Lotus Sword, Li Xiu continued to move forward. After walking for a while, he realized that it was useless to continue like this.

Apart from this endless rain curtain, everything seemed to have disappeared, not even a sword-making workshop could be seen.

"My dear, do you need me to lead the way for you?" The bride-to-be suddenly floated out.

Li Xiu remembered that the last time the mute came, it was also the bride-to-be who came out. The longevity lamp that he himself could not blow out was blown out by the bride-to-be.

This time, the bride-to-be actually came out to lead the way for him, which made Li Xiu a little suspicious.

"Do you know the way?" Li Xiu asked the bride-to-be who was protected by Jianlian.

"I don't recognize her." The bride-to-be's answer made Li Xiu a little angry.

"If you don't know the road, how can you help me lead the way?" Li Xiu asked again.

"I just feel that there is something over there that may be helpful to my husband." The bride-to-be said, pointing in a direction.

"What's over there?" Li Xiu could only see heavy rain and nothing else.

"I don't know. I can only sense that there is something over there. It seems to be a familiar breath." The bride-to-be shook her head.

Li Xiu looked at the bride-to-be, then looked at the direction she was pointing. Now he had no other choice but to go in the direction the bride-to-be pointed.

The bride-to-be floated beside Li Xiu like a female ghost, following him without touching the ground. Her red wedding dress combined with the thunderstorm night made her look as eerie and terrifying as the black and white monsters they had just seen.

Following the guidance of the bride-to-be, Li Xiu had not walked far when he suddenly saw a light ahead.

"Sure enough, there is something." Li Xiu quickened his pace and soon found a small wooden house in front of him.

The cabin was very low, with the roof estimated to be only a little over two meters from the ground, and the wooden door only about one and a half meters high. An oil lamp was hung under the eaves in front of the door. In this stormy night, the oil lamp flickered, as if it would go out at any time.

Li Xiu quickly came to the cabin. No matter what was inside, he had to go in and take a look. There was indeed no other way to go.

Li Xiu came to the door and knocked on the wooden door a few times, but there was complete silence inside.

Frowning slightly, Li Xiu knocked a few more times and shouted to the door, "Is anyone there?"

But as he was speaking, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the rumble completely drowned out Li Xiu's voice. Even Li Xiu himself could not hear what he was saying.

Li Xiu waited until the thunder passed, then shouted towards the door again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the thunder sounded again, drowning out his voice.

Li Xiu shouted several times, but the thunder seemed to be deliberately against him. As soon as he spoke, the thunder would immediately sound and completely drown out his voice.

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and pushed the door with his hand to see if he could open it. Unexpectedly, the wooden door opened easily without Li Xiu even using any strength.

Li Xiu stood outside the door and looked inside. He saw that the fireplace inside the wooden house was burning and the chopped firewood inside was crackling.

There was a rocking chair next to the fireplace, and it looked like someone was sleeping in it, with a gray blanket covering him.

The rocking chair was facing the wooden door, and because the door was too low, Li Xiu couldn't see who was sleeping in the rocking chair.

"Excuse me, it's raining heavily outside. Can I go in to take shelter from the rain?" Li Xiu said again.

This time there was no thunder when he spoke.

But the person sleeping in the rocking chair seemed to be sleeping very soundly and didn't hear what Li Xiu said at all.

"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent." Li Xiu looked at the bride-to-be floating beside him, and seeing that she didn't react, he lowered his head and walked into the wooden house, then closed the wooden door.

"Just because I don't speak doesn't mean I agree to let you enter my room." Li Xiu had just closed the wooden door when he heard an old voice coming from the rocking chair.

The person in the rocking chair did not get up, but still lay there.

"Sorry, it's raining so hard outside and I want to take shelter. I knocked on the door just now," said Li Xiu.

"You knocked, but I didn't invite you in." The old voice continued.

"I'm sorry. If there is anything that can make up for my mistake, I would like to express my apologies to you." Li Xiu said, looking at the rocking chair.

"I said, do you dare to do it?" The man said, stretched out his hands and pressed on the armrests of the rocking chair, and stood up from the rocking chair.

After he stood up, he turned around and looked at Li Xiu. Only then did Li Xiu see his appearance. He was an old man in his seventies with a face full of wrinkles.

"Are you human?" Li Xiu looked at the old man and was surprised to find that the old man did not have any characteristics or aura of a demon at all. He was clearly an old human man.

"Aren't you a human being?" the old man asked back with a cold face.

"I am also a human being." Li Xiu said with a smile, "I just didn't expect to meet one of my kind here. I wonder what your name is, old man?"

"Old White." The old man replied.

"Old Bai, what can I do for you?" Li Xiu looked at the old man and said, not letting his guard down just because he was the same kind as him.

A human being actually appeared in such a place, and there was also a wooden house. This matter seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Since you're here, why not stay for dinner?" Lao Bai said, and walked into the kitchen next door.

Although this wooden house is not big, it has everything needed.

"Mr. Bai, thank you for the treat. I'm not hungry yet." Li Xiu said to Mr. Bai who was busy in the kitchen.

"Who cares whether you are hungry or not? If you want to stay, just give me this meal." Lao Bai's old and cold voice came from the kitchen.

"You mean, what you want me to do is to eat the meal you cook?" Li Xiu immediately understood.

"You don't have to eat, but you must leave my room immediately." Lao Bai said as he walked out of the kitchen and placed two plates casually on the table.

Li Xiu took a closer look and saw a piece of grilled meat on a plate. It was about the size of a palm and was roasted until it was brown. He didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it looked a bit like steak.

There was a boiled egg on another plate. I didn't know what kind of egg it was, but it was as big as an ostrich egg, snow-white all over, and steam was coming out of it, as if it had just been taken out of the pot.

"Eat. I'll give you one incense stick of time. If you can't finish, get out. The couple outside are waiting to take your life." Lao Bai said as he lit a stick of incense in front of the shrine next to him. The statue enshrined on the shrine was neither a human statue nor a demon god, but a bronze mirror.

"The couple you are talking about are monsters wearing black and white clothes respectively?" Li Xiu's heart moved.

"Who else could it be besides them?" Old Bai curled his lips and said, "Eat the food quickly. If the aroma fades later and you still can't finish it, you won't survive even if the couple doesn't do anything."

"Why can't you survive?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Instead of talking nonsense, why not eat something quickly?" Lao Bai said as he lay back in the rocking chair and covered himself with the blanket again. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be saying to Li Xiu: "If you go out, you will die. If you can't finish your food, you will also die. It's better to die with a full stomach than a hungry stomach."

Li Xiu took a look at the barbecue and boiled eggs on the table, but did not eat them immediately as Lao Bai said.

He looked at the bride-to-be, but she didn't move at all. Because of the red veil, he couldn't see the expression on her face.

Li Xiu reached out and took out the golden dinner knife, holding it in front of him and said, "Lao Luo, do you know where this place is?"

The golden dinner knife glowed slightly due to the infusion of Li Xiu's light energy, and the blade rang softly, "I've never seen this before, I don't know where it is, where is this?"

"How come King Evil Luo's Food Knife is here with you?" Lao Bai's old voice was filled with some surprise.

But he was just a little surprised. Without waiting for Li Xiu's answer, he continued, "With the Food Knife in hand, I can eat the meat faster. Maybe I can finish the meal."

Li Xiu ignored Lao Bai and told him what had just happened.

After hearing this, the Evil King Luo in the Golden Dinner Knife said in surprise: "From what you said, this place is probably very problematic and is not within the Demon Nation's sphere of influence."

"If it's not the Demon Country's sphere of influence, could it be the other three restricted areas?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"It's possible." King Eluo pondered, "I have some doubts. This may be Changsheng Island."

"Shouldn't Changsheng Island be an island? This is a large plain." Li Xiu said.

"Who says that a land named Changsheng Island must be a small island? In fact, as long as it is surrounded by water, any large piece of land can be called an island." The evil king continued, "Put me on the dining table and let me see the piece of meat. If it is really what I think, I am afraid I will be in trouble this time."

Li Xiu didn't ask any more questions and inserted the golden knife directly into the barbecue on the plate.

"Well, I asked you to put me next to me, not to put me on top." The evil king Luo said depressedly, his voice sounding a little unnatural.

Li Xiu had no choice but to pull out the golden knife again. Just as he was about to put it on the plate, the evil king suddenly said, "No need to put it back. How much of the incense stick you mentioned just now is left?"

"The incense has only been burning for a short time, and there are at least four-fifths of it left," said Li Xiu.

"Then eat it quickly. Maybe we can finish the longevity meat before the incense burns out, and then our lives can be saved." said the evil king.

"Explain yourself clearly." Li Xiu frowned.

"There's no time. If you fail to finish eating the longevity meat and the reincarnation egg before the incense burns out, we'll be doomed." King Eluo said anxiously.

"I'll eat, you say." Li Xiu sat down at the table and reached out to pick up the piece of barbecue.

"You can't eat it like this. Let me cut the meat. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish that piece of immortal meat, let alone a stick of incense. Even if you eat until the end of the world, you won't be able to finish it." The evil king said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu looked at the barbecue on the plate curiously, then grabbed the golden knife and used it to cut the meat.

The golden knife actually glowed with golden light automatically. He successfully cut off a small piece of meat, pierced it with the knife and put it in his mouth to taste it. The fragrant meat was overflowing, and the melted fat and gravy filled his mouth, making Li Xiu almost moan with happiness.

"It's so delicious." Li Xiu exclaimed.

"If I let you keep eating it, even if you eat a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand pieces, you won't think it's delicious anymore. Eat it quickly, I can't hold on for much longer." The evil king said anxiously.

Li Xiu didn't waste any time. He cut the meat piece by piece with the golden knife, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it with big mouthfuls.

Li Xiu only felt that the meat was indeed delicious, but he soon discovered that the remaining barbecue was slowly growing. He had clearly eaten two-thirds of it, but in a short while, the barbecue seemed to have returned to half its previous size.

Li Xiu was horrified. You know, the golden knife has the ability to make wounds unable to heal. The meat cut with the golden knife can actually grow on its own. God knows what the hell this piece of barbecue is.

Li Xiu knew that he had to eat as soon as possible, otherwise his stomach would burst and he would not be able to finish the piece of meat.

Li Xiu waved the golden knife in his hand quickly, put the cut meat pieces into his mouth and chewed quickly, and wolfed down the roasted meat in a short while, with two-thirds of it still left.

"It seems like we have more than enough time." Li Xiu looked at the remaining reincarnation egg and said, "How do I eat this reincarnation egg? Can I just cut it in half?"

"The Food Knife is fine for eating immortality meat, but using it to eat reincarnation eggs is too much." Lao Bai's voice came from the rocking chair.
