Chapter 336: Facing Death Without Regret, Only for Hope

Jiang Li was startled and shot to his feet.

Long Long Lisha's face also turned pale.

"Your Highness, do not panic; we are here. You go find General Lan Si!"

"Remember, do not do anything foolish."

"You are our hope, and at the same time the hope of the entire Norland Empire—this world has only one that can be called Norland; only a Supreme Emperor can be called Norland, and you are the Norland of this nation!! Go quickly—"

Long Long Lisha directly shoved a talisman and an address into Jiang Li's hand.

"Prince Highness, this is the last Saint-grade Invisibility Rune; go quickly—otherwise I will die before your eyes!"

Long Long Lisha picked up an awl and aimed it at her own throat, clearly about to stab in.

"Fine, I will go..."

Jiang Li directly pasted the talisman onto his own arm.

He vanished right where he stood; this talisman was different from his Body Escape Spell and could temporarily erase him completely from this world.

Such a high-level technique was something Jiang Li had never seen before.

Seeing Jiang Li disappear, a trace of determination appeared in Long Long Lisha's eyes; she turned and summoned a great sword, charging out the door.

Seeing Long Long Lisha's combat data, Jiang Li sucked in a cold breath.

【Character: Long Long Lisha (NPC)】

【Level: 60】

【Attack: 30 million】

【HP: 50 million】

【Skills: Gale, Heavy Strike, Stun, Sword Sweeping the Eight Desolations】

Such data was simply terrifying.

Especially Long Long Lisha's Sword Sweeping the Eight Desolations skill, which was an area-of-effect attack; with Long Long Lisha wielding the great sword, every strike she landed caused massive casualties.

Before Jiang Li could even react.

"Boom!"

The entire Third Layer's tavern exploded with a tremendous crash.

The invisibility robe on Jiang Li's body was extremely special and could completely nullify his existence.

He could watch everything happening yet feel no Yu Bo from the battle at all.

By the time he came to his senses.

He had already appeared inside a huge crater.

And some people were flying in the sky.

Yes, they were flying out of thin air; although not very high, it still made Jiang Li suck in a cold breath.

Because human class-shifters could only gain the ability to fly upon reaching the Third Shift.

Those ragged tavern-goers just now.

And the courtesans on the second floor had, by now, mostly changed their aura, with sharp energy radiating from their bodies.

And opposite the tavern-goers, opposite the courtesans.

Were all powerful figures dressed in black.

These men in black were also extremely powerful, all flying in midair.

Seeing their levels made Jiang Li suck in a cold breath in fright.

All were Second Shift NPCs exceeding level sixty.

"Hahahaha!"

One person stepped out from among the men in black; judging by the laughter, he was not young.

"I truly admire you people; for a vague and illusory hope, you have persisted for many years in such a dark place!"

"Even debasing your own bodies to deceive our eyes and ears—impressive, impressive!"

"Is it worth it, everyone?"

Long Long Lisha flew before the men in black, raised her great sword, and said, "Less nonsense, and do not play peacemaker. Your Majesty Norland!"

"Your Majesty Norland!"

The tavern-goers behind Long Long Lisha, along with those courtesans, drew their weapons without the slightest courtesy and launched themselves forward at full strength.

The great battle was triggered.

When so many powerful figures clashed together, the entire Longzhen was instantly shredded into fragments under the overwhelming aura, with rivers of blood flowing.

Some tavern-goers bled out on the spot and fell from midair.

One tavern-goer landed beside him.

"Your Majesty Norland..."

Then the tavern-goer's body shattered, and blood was everywhere...

Jiang Li did not even know what that tavern-goer's name was, but the light in the tavern-goer's eyes at the end shocked Jiang Li.

He frowned; he was not a fussy person, glanced once at the sky, and swiftly left the battlefield.

Although there was no blood relation, and he was not the true Prince of Norland.

He was moved by these people's loyalty.

Moved by their persistence for that faint, unseen future hope.

Finally, Long Long Lisha, fearing neither life nor death, gave him the last life-saving talisman.

This Invisibility Rune had a time limit; he did not want these people to die for him in vain.

Less than five minutes after he had left Longzhen, when he looked back, he saw the entire Longzhen collapse inward.

"Indeed, it's a Level 1 hidden instance—such difficulty, one slip could mean death!"

After running for a while longer, a piercing sound came from behind Jiang Li.

Jiang Li saw that each tavern patron and those courtesans fled in different directions.

Behind them chased the black-clad men.

Seeing this, Jiang Li felt slightly relieved—at least not everyone had been wiped out.

"I wonder if Long Long Lisha is still alive!"

His heart felt heavy; these people had originally had nothing to do with him, yet this inexplicable protection had burdened him.

As he ran, he pondered certain questions, but could not make sense of any of them.

"What is real? Who is real? Who is illusion? Who is reality? Or perhaps all are reality..."

According to the address Long Long Lisha had given him.

Lans's location was five hundred kilometers away.

"Ah—judging by the current situation, this Level 1 hidden reincarnation instance cannot possibly be completed in the short term!"

Jiang Li thought of a problem.

"That is, he might have to level-grind."

First, there would be an exam targeting him in a week.

If he failed this exam, it would be troublesome—possibly even canceling his college entrance exam results.

Moreover, he currently had no idea how to leave this hidden instance.

He even tried using a Huicheng scroll, but it didn't work.

【Prompt: The transmigrator has entered a Level 1 hidden instance; as of now, it is not open to normal humans—this instance belongs solely to transmigrator Jiang Li.】

【Prompt: Because this is a hidden instance, many of its rules differ from the real world, and its timeline is entirely different from the outside—two months here equal one day outside. Thus, the transmigrator has time to complete the hidden instance.】

Hearing the system's prompt, Jiang Li finally relaxed.

He slowed his pace.

He looked at the address Long Long Lisha had given him, chose a direction, walked for a while, then as the invisibility talisman's effect faded, he did not reveal himself outright but instead used his Body Escape Technique to vanish into the darkness and proceed.
