Huff.
Ji Liang turned around and exhaled.
He seemed to be trying to wake Yu Zhenghai up.
Alas, Yu Zhenghai's eyes were still tightly shut. He did not wake up.
"You think I'm right as well?" Yu Shangrong smiled.
Panting.
"Of course … I'll do my best." Yu Shangrong turned to look at the dusky forest. "Saving people is much more difficult than killing them."
He rested for a while.
Yu Shangrong rose to his feet and leaped onto Ji Liang's back.
They left the dark and damp jungle.
All the way to the west, he flew at a low altitude, passed through an uninhabited gorge, and skimmed over an endless plain …
As he flew, Yu Shangrong looked to his left and right.
The terrain was flat, which meant a good field of vision. At the same time, it also meant that it was easier to be exposed.
If this had happened in the past, he would not have minded it. However, his priority now was to save the others. He would save as much trouble as he could.
…
Under the moonlight, Ji Liang flew at a low altitude.
Yu Shangrong saw a dark and damp place.
"We've arrived at the swamp. Ji Liang, raise the altitude."
Huff.
He had been here many years ago. However, at that time, he had come to challenge elites. Now that he was back here, he felt a little emotional.
Ji Liang galloped past the swamp according to Yu Shangrong's orders.
After passing through the swamp, they went ashore and saw Lou Lan's capital.
Looking into the distance, the distant Loulan Capital seemed even more mysterious and eerie under the hazy moonlight.
"The Land of Buried Bones." Yu Shangrong saw bones protruding from the ground.
Ji Liang's speed was astonishing. Fifteen minutes later, Ji Liang brought the two of them to the Land of Buried Bones. Before them was a quagmire.
"Stop."
Yu Shangrong stopped.
Just a few dozen miles ahead was where the Lou Lan humans resided.
Yu Shangrong looked at the quagmire before him and sighed softly. "We're here."
"This is the place where you first crawled out of death …"
Behind him was a burial ground full of bones, gloomy and oppressive.
With Ji Liang's legendary speed, it took Yu Zhenghai fifteen minutes to travel. At that time, Yu Zhenghai had yet to cultivate. How long would it take to travel to the Land of Buried Bones?
Even if all the other Evil Sky Pavilion disciples put together, they would not be able to compare to Yu Zhenghai's suffering.
…
Yu Shangrong was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he flew around the quagmire for a while.
He observed his surroundings for a while.
After making sure there were no other disturbances, he brought Yu Zhenghai down.
The moonlight slanted.
It landed on the quagmire.
If not for the Bone Burial Ground, just looking at this quagmire would have a different flavor.
Yu Shangrong could sense that the Primal Qi and the vitality in the surroundings were indeed denser.
To his right was the forest, behind him was the Burial Ground, in front of him was the river, and further upstream was the Loulan Imperial City …
It looked like a natural closed-loop formation.
It could gather the dense Origin Energy together.
He looked at the quagmire. After a moment's hesitation, he made up his mind. "This is your Tribulation of Life and Death. You'll have to face it eventually."
He opened his palm, and his Yuan Qi surged.
The energy seal dragged Yu Zhenghai up.
Yu Shangrong waved his hand. Whoosh!
He flew toward the center of the quagmire. Plop!
Falling into the quagmire!
He straightened his palm.
Bang!
The palm seal stirred up a quagmire and buried Yu Zhenghai.
He no longer looked at the quagmire. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Ji Liang and said, "Ji Liang … I'll be staying here for the next 49 days."
It panted.
Ji Liang came up to his side.
It seemed reluctant to leave.
Yu Shangrong said with a smile, "You're willing to stay?"
Neigh!
Ji Liang spun on the spot.
"Alright." Yu Shangrong patted Ji Liang's back. "You and I get along well. When we return to the Evil Sky Pavilion and receive master's permission, you'll be mine."
…
Meanwhile.
After the Golden Taixu Mirror shone on the Divine Capital, everything quieted down.
Hua Chongyang sent the Nether Sect disciples to guard the four city gates. Anyone who entered the city was interrogated.
After this incident, the people of the Divine Capital felt the same way.
The heroic act of purging spies spread among the people as well. The Evil Sky Pavilion's name was even changed to the Holy Sky Pavilion by some people.
Inside Dazheng Palace.
Hua Chongyang reported everything that had happened in the Divine Capital.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
"I'll leave the matters in the Divine Capital to you."
He was not skilled in governing the country. It was better to leave such matters to them.
Hua Chongyang scratched his head. "Senior Ji, I'm not skilled in that either!"
At this moment, the Big Dipper Academy's President, Zhou Youcai, said, "Senior Ji, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
"Speak."
A wise man submits to circumstances. Those who can be used by me, I will treat them well.
Zhou Youcai said,
"Governing a country naturally requires civil and military officials … They just lack an opportunity and an excuse. Based on what I know, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Miss Fifth, Zhao Yue, is Princess Yun Zhao's orphan. In the name of the Imperial family's orphan, the Nether Sect is terrorizing the lands, and the civil and military officials are in charge. It won't be too late to choose a new monarch when the nine provinces are at peace. "
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Can you convince the civil and military officials?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Senior Ji, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely handle it properly."
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to explain. But … how many things could be explained normally?
Hua Chongyang said, "If we have the help of the civil and military officials, things will be much smoother. The Nine States will soon be stabilized."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
"I'll leave the Divine Capital to you. If it isn't necessary, I won't ask. "
Everyone present knew that the old man's heart was focused on cultivation, and a person like him would disdain to do such things.
After he finished speaking, he rose to his feet and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a voice rang from outside Dazheng Palace.
"Greetings, master."
Zhu Honggong deliberately bumped his fists together to attract the others' attention.
He kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times. Each kneel was followed by a bow, and each bow was followed by a body position.
The others were stunned by this.
Clang!
Duanmu Sheng stabbed his Overlord Spear into the floor. Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, jumped to his feet in fright.
"Old Eighth, what are you doing?" Duanmu Sheng asked.
"Huh? No, no, no … I just feel that the palace's floor is shiny. It'll be a shame if I don't greet you, master … "
The others. "???"
Lu Zhou looked at Zhu Honggong and asked, "What is it?"
"Master, Fourth Senior Brother has a letter for you to read."
"Bring it to me."
Zhu Honggong respectfully presented the letter to his master.
Lu Zhou opened it and skimmed through it. He was puzzled.
He asked in confusion, "Yu Shangrong has gone to Lou Lan?"
When Ye Tianxin heard this, she was slightly surprised. She said, "Master, Second Senior Brother has severed his lotus and is recultivating. His cultivation base is far from his peak. I'm afraid it'll be dangerous for him to venture deep into Lou Lan at this time. Should I make a trip to Lou Lan? "
Zhu Honggong criticized.
"Second Senior Brother, you're really too reckless. Moreover, he's always been stubborn. I feel like something's going to happen! Master … I think Senior Sister Tianxin is right. After all, she's an Eight-leaf cultivator … "
Duanmu Sheng said, "Sixth Junior Sister's situation isn't looking good as well."
Zhu Honggong said, "Why don't you do it yourself, master? After all, the Divine Capital is safe now. "
The others looked at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou did not answer immediately. Instead, he said, "Since he's already gone and has Ji Liang's help, let him be."
"Master, Second Senior Brother …"
"I believe in him."
The others bowed and fell silent.
…
In the afternoon.
In the side hall of Dazheng Palace. Lu Zhou called up the system dashboard.
Merit points: 62053
Remaining life: 35584 days
Lu Zhou looked at the 60,000 merit points on the dashboard and nodded in satisfaction. After completing the mission of eliminating spies, he had accumulated 40,000 to 50,000 merit points.
"Let's try the lucky draw first."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation."
Shortly after, another ten consecutive lucky draws came.
All of them were 'thank you for your participation.'
Lu Zhou was slightly puzzled. "Are you trying to trick me again?" “
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Spent 11 luck points. Obtained: Strengthened Reversal Card x5, Shining Stone x1."
"Strengthened Reversal Card. Every use will reverse 1,000 days of life."
"Shining Stone. There's a chance to improve the weapon's quality when refined."
