"Get married?" Li Xiu stared at the beautiful woman in a daze, not quite understanding what she meant.

The beautiful woman did not explain, but just pulled Li Xiu towards Tianhai Palace, and the gentleman-like man followed behind like a butler.

“Uncle Lao Xie…” Bu’er looked at Uncle Lao Xie at a loss.

Zu Ling actually brought Li Xiu to Tianhai Palace. She never expected that such a thing would happen, which made her not know what to do.

“Bu’er, don’t worry, just do what you want. As long as you don’t lose, no one can force you.” Uncle Lao Xie said calmly.

After hearing what Uncle Lao Xie said, Bu'er heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes became firm: "Of course I won't lose, I will avenge Uncle Lion."

While the two were talking, the beautiful woman had already pulled Li Xiu to the front of Tianhai Palace and walked up the stone steps.

"Lao Xie, I have brought the son-in-law of Tianhai Palace." The noble lady ancestor looked at Uncle Lao Xie and said with a smile.

"Bellona, ​​this is not something you should interfere in." Uncle Xie said coldly.

"Lao Xie, it seems that you have forgotten who is the real master of the Sea of ​​Heaven." Lady Bellona looked at Uncle Lao Xie without giving in, still smiling.

Uncle Lao Xie said contemptuously: "If you want to be the master of the Sea of ​​Heaven, then come here and try it yourself."

"That's exactly what I meant." Bellona let go of Li Xiu's hand and slowly walked towards Uncle Lao Xie.

As Bellona moved forward, the space in front of Tianhai Palace seemed to be distorted. Li Xiu felt that the entire space seemed to be distorted into a hideous evil ghost's face, which wanted to swallow up Lao Xie who was standing in front of the gate of Tianhai Palace.

Li Xiu recognized Lao Xie. He was the demon spirit who gave him the Three Lights at the Haitian Trial Field. He was trapped in the metal coffin at the beginning, and it was he who released him.

Li Xiu didn’t know how powerful Lao Xie was, but he had a deep impression of Bellona’s terror.

Bellona just moved forward step by step, but the space was distorted in an incomprehensible way. Even with Li Xiu's strength, he felt as if his body was imprisoned by an incomprehensible force and could not move at all.

This is because Bellona did not target him. The pressure Lao Xie felt when facing Bellona head-on was many times greater than that of Li Xiu.

"Are Bellona and the other ancestral spirits all of peerless level?" Li Xiu thought to himself.

As Bellona moved forward, Li Xiu discovered an even more bizarre scene. The flowers, plants and trees around Tianhai Palace were changing in a strange state.

The branches and leaves of the towering trees shrank, the blooming flowers turned into buds, and the vines that covered the mountain walls gradually became smaller, as if time was flowing backwards, or a video was played in reverse.

Li Xiu felt that his body and the strength in his body were actually declining. He activated the light of evil spirits and the forbidden light, and tried his best to fight against Bellona's strange power, but he was still unable to resist.

There is no doubt that this is peerless power. Only by transcending the rules can one accomplish such a heaven-defying thing.

The gentleman man walked up to Li Xiu, and Li Xiu immediately felt the pressure on his body disappear, and he was no longer affected by the strange power.

Turning his head, he saw the gentleman man next to him glowing slightly and smiling at him.

"Sure enough, these guys are all at the peerless level." Li Xiu said inwardly.

"Hmph!" Suddenly, Lao Xie snorted coldly.

With just this cold snort, the space that was distorted like a devil's face suddenly disappeared, and all the strange time reversal phenomena also stopped.

Bellona was slightly startled, and looked at Lao Xie and said, "It seems that your strength has been fully restored?"

"Your countercurrent is stronger than before." Lao Xie said calmly, "But you are not qualified to point fingers at Tianhai Palace's affairs."

"I am indeed not qualified." Bellona was not angry. She still smiled and pointed at Li Xiu and said, "But he is the future master of Tianhai Palace identified by our sixteen ancestors. Are you sure you want to stop him?"

"Why?" Lao Xie couldn't help but frown when he heard that.

"No reason, we identified him." Bellona said calmly.

"Humans, are they really worthy of your trust? Have you forgotten the lessons from the past?" Lao Xie said coldly.

"Humans can't be trusted, so what are you doing now?" Bellona said mockingly.

Lao Xie looked at Bellona and said, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"No." Bellona said firmly.

"If we fight with all our strength, you won't be able to escape unscathed." Lao Xie said coldly.

"Aren't you afraid that others will reap the benefits?" Bellona glanced in the direction of the beach meaningfully.

"That's also your fault." Lao Xie said expressionlessly.

"How about this, you and I should each take a step back, follow the rules, and let them decide for themselves." Bellona said.

Lao Xie knew that this was Bellona's bottom line. He glanced at Li Xiu and said, "Okay, let's follow the rules. As long as he can defeat Bu'er, he will be the new master of Tianhai Palace."

After that, Lao Xie looked at Bellona and said, "If he wins, it means that person wins. I hope you don't regret what you are doing now."

"That may not be the case." Bellona said without further ado, and returned to Li Xiu, smiling and saying, "You don't have to worry about anything. Just defeat her and marry her back. We will take care of everything."

"What is going on?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.

"Didn't Li Boyang tell you?" Bellona asked puzzledly.

"He only asked me to fight on his behalf and didn't say anything else." Li Xiu now urgently wants to know what is going on.

Bellona glanced at Lao Xie and said, "Are you going to say it, or should I?"

"He doesn't even know why he's here. Do you really want to give that thing to such a person?" Lao Xie said coldly.

Bellona ignored Lao Xie and turned to Li Xiu and said, "This is a long story. The Sea of ​​Heaven, the Island of Eternal Life, and the Bottomless Pit were originally one entity called the Soul-Suppressing Palace. It was the source of life in this world. All life was nurtured by the Soul-Suppressing Stone in the Soul-Suppressing Palace. We, the sixteen ancestral spirits, are the first group of demon spirits nurtured by the Soul-Suppressing Stone. The Soul-Suppressing Palace was also built by us."

"Hmph." Lao Xie suddenly snorted coldly, as if he was very disdainful of what Bellona said.

Bellona glanced at him and chuckled, "Of course, in addition to us ancestral spirits, there were some accidents because the Soul-Suppressing Stone was affected by some external forces and gave birth to four other special lives, which we call evil spirits. Later, we suppressed the four evil spirits in the Soul-Suppressing Stone, and used the power of our sixteen ancestral spirits and the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone to create three Soul-Suppressing Beasts to guard the Soul-Suppressing Stone to prevent the evil spirits from escaping and affecting the life process of this world."

Li Xiu had heard some things from Huang Huang before, and now he could roughly guess that this old evil man should be one of the four evil spirits suppressed in the spirit-suppressing stone.

"You can talk about selfishness so eloquently. You are worthy of being the ancestor of evil spirits." Uncle Lao Xie mocked.

Bellona ignored him and continued, "In fact, this world is a world that has not yet evolved completely. According to normal procedures, the Soul-Suppressing Stone will continue to give birth to new creatures, and evolve with the world until the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone is completely transformed into creatures and integrated with the world. Only then can it be considered a complete world. But at a certain point in time, a person came to the Soul-Suppressing Palace and broke the Soul-Suppressing Stone. The evolution of the world also went off track. Until now, this world has still not been able to evolve completely."

"Who has such power to destroy the origin of the world?" Li Xiu had already guessed that the person was the president, but he didn't quite believe that the president possessed such strong power.

There are sixteen ancestral spirits guarding the Zhenling Palace, all of them are of peerless level, plus three Zhenling beasts. Although the president is very powerful, it is impossible for him to be strong enough to defeat so many terrifying existences by himself and then destroy the Zhenling Stone.

Bellona said, "That man's power is very strange, completely different from ours, and we have never seen it before. But if we really fought with all our strength, he would be at most about the same as us. In a one-on-one fight, the outcome might be hard to predict. In a one-on-two fight, it would be difficult for him to win. In a one-on-three fight, he would have no chance of winning."

"If that's the case, how could he break the Spirit-Suppressing Stone?" Li Xiu asked.

"Alas, it's all because we are too curious. That man always says things that amaze us. We can't help but be attracted by what he says and want to know more. At that time, no one knew what his intentions were. We were confident that we could control everything, so we kept him in the Zhenling Palace, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of." Bellona sighed.

"Stupid is stupid, don't blame everything on curiosity and self-confidence." Lao Xie mocked.

"You are smart, but you are also being used by him?" Bellona curled her lips and continued, "By the time I discovered his evil ambitions, it was too late. He had already broken the Soul-Suppressing Stone. Fortunately, we discovered it not too late and stopped him from stealing the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. We had a big fight with him. It would not have been difficult to defeat him with the combined strength of our sixteen ancestral spirits, but the four evil spirits that escaped from the Soul-Suppressing Stone also joined the battle, making things complicated. That battle was also the fundamental reason why the Soul-Suppressing Palace was divided into three. If only the Soul-Suppressing Stone was destroyed, the Soul-Suppressing Palace would not have been split."

"Things have become complicated, so why bother to be so euphemistic?" said the old evil uncle with a smile.

"Well, in fact, we were defeated and had to withdraw from Zhenling Palace." Bellona rolled her eyes at Uncle Xie and said, "Since you like to talk so much, then you can tell us the rest. Anyway, the rest of the story has little to do with us."

Uncle Lao Xie said calmly, "We and that man both wanted to get the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. After defeating the ancestor spirit, we started fighting for the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. As a result, we couldn't kill him, and he was no match for us, so we made an agreement to let the Soul-Suppressing Beasts temporarily keep the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stone so that they can repair the Soul-Suppressing Stone. We will use the agreement to train our offspring to duel, and the winner will get the Soul-Suppressing Stone."

"Since we are fighting for the town spirit stone, how does it have anything to do with getting married?" Li Xiu asked in confusion.

“Humph, that human is really cunning. Originally, according to the agreement, the Soul-Suppressing Stones were divided into four parts, belonging to the Sea of ​​Heaven, the Island of Eternal Life, the Bottomless Pit and that person. We fought according to the agreement and won each other’s Soul-Suppressing Stones. I didn’t expect that person to be so despicable and insidious, and actually used those dirty means to take away the Soul-Suppressing Stones that should have belonged to the Sea of ​​Heaven, the Island of Eternal Life and the Bottomless Pit respectively.” Lao Xie seemed to be very disgusted with that person’s means and was unwilling to even mention it.

Li Xiu vaguely guessed that if the person they were talking about was the president, then he had been to Changsheng Island and had given birth to Li Ming'er with the Changsheng Island's spiritual beast. He could probably imagine what means he had used.

As for how the president got the soul-suppressing stones of the Sea of ​​Heaven and the Bottomless Pit, Li Xiu had no idea. It was probably not a glorious method.

"It turns out that the reason why King Gai Shi was trapped under the City of Light was also the president's trick." Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh that the president was indeed a ruthless person.

This is what it means to be one person against the whole world, and the key is that he even got the upper hand.

Of course, the means were not very glorious.

Uncle Xie snorted coldly and continued, "He is cunning and treacherous, but we are not fools. He took away the Soul-Suppressing Stones that originally belonged to us, but he never expected that we also took away the Soul-Suppressing Stones that originally belonged to him. Even if he got all of our Soul-Suppressing Stones, he would not be able to completely restore them to their original state."

"So, the current duel is still for the fight for the Soul-Suppressing Stone? That doesn't make sense. I heard that you have dueled many times before, and you won every time. Even if you only won a piece of fragment at a time, you should have won it back long ago." Li Xiu said.

"With the previous experience, we naturally cannot give him any chance to plot again, so we thought of a special method to make it impossible for him to take the Soul-Suppressing Stone here. He can only take the Soul-Suppressing Stone according to the agreement." Uncle Xie said here, his tone became a little angry: "So we re-established a blood contract that both parties had to abide by. We thought we could end everything and win back the Soul-Suppressing Stone fragments that he had taken away by despicable means. However, we never expected that he would find a loophole in the blood contract. He obviously lost, but we couldn't get the Soul-Suppressing Stone fragments from him."

Li Xiu thought to himself: "The president is really amazing. He made these peerless demons suffer losses again and again, and they fell into the same pit several times."

As if seeing through Li Xiu's thoughts, the old uncle snorted coldly: "Even if he has a thousand plans, if he can't win the contract, he still can't take the Soul-Suppressing Stone. No matter how many plans he has, it will be in vain."

"In other words, as long as I win, I can get the Soul-Suppressing Stone in your hands?" Li Xiu said to Uncle Lao Xie.

"No, it's useless even if you win." Uncle Xie laughed.

"It's useless even if I win? Then what's the point of me coming here?" Li Xiu asked.

"It's useless if you win, but as long as you win, you will be eligible to marry the little princess of Tianzhihai and become the new master of Tianzhihai. Only if you marry the little princess can you get the fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone." Bellona said.

Now Li Xiu finally understood why the president had been emphasizing before coming that using brute force was not the only way to win.

However, Li Xiu still didn’t quite understand why only by marrying the little princess of Tianzhihai could he obtain the fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. What was the inevitable connection between the two?

As if she saw Li Xiu's confusion, Bellona continued, "It's hard to tell you the details, but in short, only if you marry the little princess can you get the fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone. Otherwise, no one can take the fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone away."

Li Xiu looked at Bellona strangely and said, "I understand that you want to help me, but if I really get the fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Stone, wouldn't that mean your enemies will succeed? Are you really willing to accept that?"

"Unlike Lao Xie, we don't think that your victory means his victory." Bellona looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said, "You are you, he is him. Just because the Soul-Suppressing Stone is in your hands, it doesn't mean it is his."

"You believe in him, but I don't. Stop dreaming. I won't give him that chance. He will never be able to beat Bu'er, and Bu'er will never marry him. You don't have to waste your time on something that is impossible." Uncle Lao Xie said with a cold face.

"Whether we can win or not, we won't know until we fight," Bellona retorted.

"Bu'er? The young palace master of Tianhai Palace is called Bu'er? Which Bu?" Li Xiu's heart moved, and he stared at Uncle Lao Xie and asked.

Xiao Bu'er and the people of the City of Love were all killed by the God of Death of Tianzhihai. The little princess of Tianzhihai was also named Bu'er, which made Li Xiu think that there might be some relationship between the two.

"You ask too many questions. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to challenge her, you will naturally be able to see her when you enter Tianhai Palace. If you are scared, turn around and leave now. For the sake of Bellona and the others, I can make an exception and let you live." Uncle Xie said coldly.

"Although the little princess has a human body like you, her power is probably infinitely close to peerless. You have to be careful," Bellona warned.

Li Xiu nodded, but his eyes did not move away from Uncle Xie's face. He stared at him and said, "Can you answer my last question?"

"You have so many questions. Tell me first. What exactly do you want to know?" Uncle Xie frowned.

"Are you the God of Death who massacred the City of Love?" Li Xiu stared at Uncle Xie and asked word by word.

Since Uncle Lao Xie is the peerless evil spirit in Tianzhihai, according to King Gaishi, the God of Killing should be his incarnation, who is attached to the tablet and doing his job.

Uncle Xie's expression changed, and he immediately said coldly: "How do you know about the City of Love?"

"Why can't I know about the City of Love?" Li Xiu asked back.

"Because that is a place that doesn't exist at all. How do you know about a place that doesn't exist at all?"

"Since it is a place that does not exist at all, how do you know about it?" Li Xiu asked back.

The expression on Uncle Xie's face kept changing. After a long while, he said in a cold voice: "No matter where you heard about the City of Love, it has no meaning to you. It may even bring you disaster. If it were me, I would forget the name immediately, so as not to lose my life for a place that doesn't even exist."

"It's not just hearsay, I've been there." Li Xiu said lightly.

"You've been there... absolutely impossible..." Uncle Xie's face was pale, as if he had heard something extremely horrifying.
