There was a small town adjacent to the Giant Deer Region called the Town of Resurrection.
The word 'resurrection' was also very particular. It wasn't the work of supporting the family, but the life and death of the people.
This was because there were no mines or special products here. The surrounding hundreds of miles were barren mountains, a place where even birds wouldn't defecate. Hunting was impossible. The thousands of people depended on the dozens of mu of farmland outside the city to feed themselves. Their lives were very tight.
Yan Li finally got rid of the dozens of beggars and stepped into the only inn in the town. There, he saw the Beast King.
He was shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect the Beast King to be at the rendezvous point. It was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time. This could be seen from the actions of the innkeeper who was serving him dishes and pouring wine. If it was a customer who arrived on his first day, his actions would never be so practiced. It was as if he had already grasped the Beast King's temperament. Even the placement of the dishes was very particular.
The innkeeper of such a barren inn couldn't even afford to hire a waiter. How would he know about such things?
"You're here." The Beast King didn't even look at Yan Li. He picked up a piece of chicken. Unlike his rough appearance, he was the type to chew slowly. "Sit."
The innkeeper gave a flattering smile to Yan Li and made way for him. He bowed and greeted Yan Li as he went into the inner room.
Yan Li sat down without batting an eyelid.
The old bench creaked and groaned.
"Eat," the Beast King said.
Yan Li didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his chopsticks and wolfed down the food. "This chicken isn't bad. It must have been pecking for insects in the barren mountains all day. The meat is very soft and chewy."
He drank a cup of wine and gnawed on a chicken leg. "Lord, are you waiting for me here?"
"Eat." The Beast King only spat out one word.
However, he ate very little, as if he wanted Yan Li to eat more. This made one suspect that it was a sign of the "last meal."
However, the Followers of Heaven only cared about killing and not burying. They would never be so kind as to provide the last meal.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Yan Li patted his stomach and burped. He drank some water to rinse his mouth and wiped the grease off his mouth. Then, he looked at the Beast King with a smile. "My Lord, you wouldn't just treat me to a meal, would you?"
The Beast King slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at Yan Li for the first time. "Where did you go?"
"I'm recuperating." Yan Li's face didn't even blush as he replied.
"Recuperate?" the Beast King asked.
"Milord is right." Yan Li sighed. "Yu Linglin is indeed difficult to deal with. I am not a match for the fairy weapon at all. Heavily injured, I can only choose to escape."
"Why didn't you come here immediately?" the Beast King asked.
Yan Li said calmly, "Sir, this is my life-saving secret."
"A life-saving secret?" the Beast King asked.
Yan Li said, "Every time I am injured, I will find a secluded place to recuperate. I will not step into Jianghu until my injuries are healed to avoid conflict."
"You are quite smart." the Beast King said.
"Thank you for your praise, Sir." Yan Li said.
The Beast King said, "You really want to join the Followers of Heaven?"
"My sincerity, Milord is wise." Yan Li said.
The Beast King's expression suddenly changed. He shouted sternly, "Then why don't you come here to recuperate? Do you think we will harm you? Or do you not trust us at all? Do you not want to join the Followers of Heaven? Speak, what is your purpose in infiltrating us? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Greedy Xia Yin, Lazy Dan, and Nest of All Wood Roots appeared in the inn from different directions, blocking Yan Li's path.
If not for the Beast King's flickering eyes, Yan Li would have thought that he was seen through. He calmed himself down and said, "Milord, what is going on? What did I do wrong? You have to let me know before I die! "
"Speak, were you the one who leaked the secret of the Great Rift Abyss?" the Beast King asked coldly.
"What about the Great Rift Abyss?" Yan Li asked in surprise.
"It has spread throughout the martial world. How could you not know? Why are you still pretending to be a fool? "Xia Yin laughed strangely.
Yan Li said, "I have already said that I have been recuperating in seclusion. I rushed here as soon as I recovered, not daring to delay in the slightest. How could I know about the martial world?"
"The altar was destroyed by the Heavenly Measures Pavilion." The Beast King said coldly, "Someone must have leaked the news. I also heard that the Heavenly Measures Pavilion's helpers appeared during the attack on the Parting Hatred Palace."
"I swear to the heavens that it was not me who leaked the news!" Yan Li said without hesitation, "If there is any falsehood in my words, let me die without a burial place. Moreover, there is a Soul Leading Flower planted in my body. Milord can destroy my soul with a single thought. Why do you still suspect me? "
"Is that so?"
The Beast King's eyes flashed as he spat out a strange incantation.
Yan Li's eyes immediately became dull.
The four followers looked at each other. Dan shrugged and said, "You guys have made up your minds."
The Beast King spat out another strange incantation. Yan Li's eyes immediately regained clarity. He asked doubtfully, "What happened just now?"
"Nothing." The Beast King said indifferently, "This is also a test for you. In fact, the intruder's corpse disappeared. We suspect that someone found his severed hand and activated the spy's eyes. Since we caught you, you have always been in my sight. You have no time to commit any crimes, so you are not a suspect. "
Yan Li let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see. Then where is our new altar located?"
"The new altar?" Xia Yin smiled strangely. "It is everywhere."
"Everywhere?" Yan Li asked.
"You don't need to know so much." The Beast King said, "Follow us to Buluo City."
"Buluo City?" Yan Li was even more surprised. "Is there a new mission?"
"Let's talk on the way."
…
The power of the Star Source slowly retracted.
Shen Liuyun exhaled softly and opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were shining with divine light. Her whole body was in harmony with the Connate Cauldron above her head.
Other methods could increase one's lifespan to 120 and achieve the consummation of the Connate Realm.
But the Dragon Elephant Mountain method could increase one's lifespan to 150 and achieve consummation of the Connate Realm because of the Connate Cauldron.
The problem of lifespan was solved. Shen Liuyun's eyebrows were still full of gloomy thoughts.
After sitting in a daze for a long time, she sighed faintly. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a pain in her head and sat down again.
"If I become a demon, countless people will die because of me … That's not what Zhikun wants to see … Aunt, kill me …"
"Aunt …"
"Aunt …"
The Connate Cauldron cracked with a "Ka" sound.
The pain in her head didn't stop. She just gritted her teeth and endured it.
After a long time, the pain gradually subsided.
She fell to the ground powerlessly and looked at her hand. "Little Fan, if I say that I would rather you become a demon than kill you, would I be able to forgive myself …"
"Sister Drifting Cloud?"
"Little Tang!" Shen Liuyun gritted her teeth and propped herself up. "I'm fine, don't worry!"
Tang Buluo quickly walked over and touched Shen Liuyun's burning forehead. He exclaimed, "Sister has only been with me for five days and this has happened for the second time. How can you call this fine? You will die if this continues! "
