Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Chongxu Token Renders Great rit
Zuo Qiutian was still suspicious, but he stopped what he was doing.
"Do you know what you are saying?"
Li Rui had no way out: "It’s a matter of life and death, would I speak recklessly?"
"If that’s the case, why would you tell ?"
"I haven’t decided if I want to join yet, but I know that once you resurrect this thing, you’re dead. Before you die, wouldn’t you drag
down with you?"
Li Rui spoke with confidence, but he was still a rook, unaware of the capabilities of true masters, so he didn’t want to delve into the intricacies of the trap. Instead, he changed the subject, "Think about it, why would I possess the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture."
If it had been soone else speaking, Zuo Qiutian wouldn’t have paid any attention. It was precisely because Li Rui possessed a Cultivation Technique that ordinary people wouldn’t have that he hesitated.
Seeing him speak so assuredly, the bloodthirsty scholar believed him a bit more: "Tell , what kind of setup have they arranged?"
Li Rui let out a cold laugh: "It all starts with Sun Qian. Do you know who he is?"
"Who?" Zuo Qiutian asked.
Li Rui felt at ease, realizing that the other party didn’t know Sun Qian’s background, likely unaware before that Fengdu traitor rose to fa.
"His biological father was a disciple of Shenxiao Palace, while his mother was a descendant of a Chief Clerk of Fengdu. You know, the two factions were enemies and naturally couldn’t co together."
In Fengdu, there are many governnt offices and halls, with easily dozens of Chief Clerks. For soone like Zuo Qiutian, they weren’t significant figures, so he wasn’t afraid of acquaintance with them.
As he spoke, he carefully observed Zuo Qiutian’s expression and found that the latter seed to be pondering, which put his mind at ease.
"Back then, when the two first t, they fell in love but couldn’t be together, so they had to seize the chance to et privately while traveling for official duties, continuing this for so ti."
Li Rui clapped his hands, "But good tis didn’t last long. Eventually, their affair was discovered by Shenxiao Palace. Sun’s father was detained by his ntors in the sect. Who would have known that shortly after, Sun’s mother secretly went to Shenxiao Palace to plead for rcy? It turns out that after their last eting... they conceived Sun Qian."
Zuo Qiutian couldn’t help but ask, "Then, why did he go undercover in Fengdu?"
Li Rui extended his hand: "Wait, let
tell this slowly."
Boom—
Suddenly, Zuo Qiutian waved his hand, and the demonic aura in the bloody river gathered, forming a giant hand that pressed Li Rui firmly to the ground.
"Are you making up stories to stall for ti?"
Li Rui shouted angrily: "Everything I’m saying is true, and it’s for the sake of both our lives. How could this be a story!"
He pulled sothing from his inventory and tossed it forward.
"With this on , could I be faking it!"
Zuo Qiutian took the item and saw it was a jade pendant engraved with the words Chu Xuanxu.
"This belongs to the old Chongxu."
Zuo Qiutian pondered for a mont, "Keep it short."
Li Rui hadn’t expected the token of Daoist Chongxu to be used on soone from the Evil Dao for the first ti.
After the blood-colored phantom hand released him, he continued, "According to Shenxiao Palace’s laws, for those like them, they should have their bloodlines purged. But to save the child, Sun’s father requested to make ands by going undercover in Fengdu for the sect, persuading Sun’s mother as well. You know, it’s all about love."
"After the ntors in the sect discussed, they agreed to let him go undercover with an alias, and Sun is an alias. I can tell you his real na, and with a bit of verification, you’ll know I’m speaking the truth."
"What’s his real na?"
"Chen Yongren."
Zuo Qiutian was skeptical: "You still didn’t explain the matter of Sun Qian. You have ten breaths to finish."
Li Rui sensed a genuine killing intent and imdiately sped up: "After Sun Qian was born, he assud the surna Sun with his father and believed he was a pure Fengdu native until one day when his father offended soone important and was killed, and his mother followed due to grief. Before she died, she revealed the truth to Sun Qian, who then vowed to avenge his father. However, he was alone, with no background, so he resolutely contacted Shenxiao Palace, becoming a deeply embedded infiltrator, codenad Pangolin!"
"An important figure? Could it be...."
Zuo Qiutian couldn’t resist gossiping a bit.
"Exactly, why do you think Sun Qian competes with Cui Jiu’an for the throne?" Li Rui mysteriously smiled.
"Of course, the Cui family is powerful in Fengdu, with ancestors who served as Spirit Official Nether Emperors. If a Chief Clerk’s son-in-law offended the Cui family, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was beaten to death."
The most absurd thing was that Zuo Qiutian actually connected the dots.
However, at this mont, he was still frowning because Li Rui’s story overturned everything he knew about Sun Qian. He couldn’t piece together many critical points, and seeing him deep in thought, it seed his CPU was about to burn out.
It was at this mont that Li Rui suddenly received a system prompt.
[Demon King resurrection failed, world event completed.]
[Level up!]
[You have new skill points.]
[You have new items.]
He was montarily stunned, then suddenly understood.
Reinforcents must have arrived, and Zuo Qiutian no longer had ti to resurrect the Demon King.
anwhile, there was also bad news, which was that Zuo Qiutian also realized sothing.
"No, Sun Qian practiced the Fengdu Nine Profound Soul-Splitting Skill; he has no ties to Shenxiao Palace! You’re courting death!"
Boom—
The bloody river boiled again, and he grabbed a crimson light, stabbing it forward.
Li Rui felt a sudden warning in his heart, flipped over, and quickly used the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture, retreating far away. At the sa ti, he promptly allocated all his new attribute points to Domination and equipped the Diamond Umbrella.
He had reached level 16 and could now equip this epic gear.
Waves Barrier!
The active skill of the Diamond Umbrella, generating a barrier to block damage, enhanced by Water Attribute skills and Domination attribute.
Bang!!
The blood light was blocked by the barrier, slightly slowing its speed, but it still had unmatched power, continuing to chase forward.
Li Rui twisted around to continue retreating, but the blood light was faster, still crashing into his back with a roar.
Pfft—
Li Rui felt like he was hit by a dump truck going 300 kiloters per hour, his vision tinted with blood, spinning rapidly so that he couldn’t see anything clearly.
Thud.
He was blasted several zhangs away before finally hitting the ground, his body entirely numb, unable to move a finger, unsure of how many bones were broken.
Despite the blessings of the Diamond Umbrella, the administrator coat, and his supermodel physique, he was still brought to the brink of death by Zuo Qiutian’s strike.
The scholar was clearly furious at being deceived. Although surprised that the person hadn’t died, he quickly closed in again, determined to eliminate every threat.
But as he dashed to Li Rui’s side, he did nothing, suddenly retreating several zhangs.
The next mont, a burst of blades descended like a fine rainy drizzle from the sky, slicing the ground like a torn fabric.
Wei Xun’s figure blocked Li Rui from the front.
"Zuo Qiutian, your death day has co."
The scholar sneered, "Wei Xun? Even with you, it’s not enough."
"With
as well, it should be enough." Another figure flickered from behind him.
"Zhenyue, old man?!"
Zuo Qiutian’s face turned unsightly.
