Chapter 184: Target, Wujin Huangye

~8 min read 1,440 words

Beside the Origin Spirit Spring!

Lu Li's expression was calm.

In that Secret Land, after mastering the method of transforming Turbid Qi, endless Original Qi flooded into the Black Gourd, causing the space inside to leap forward several times.

During that leap!

Vast origin Qi was born!

Except for a portion absorbed by him, the rest all nourished that Yin Yang space. Being in it, the Life Tree and the Black Little Fire both gained endless benefits.

Especially that Life Tree!

Besides being taller, it also bore three Life Fruits.

This one right now!

Was one of them!

This was also one of the reasons he entered the Glory Land. The Human Race's destiny was inexhaustible, giving birth to a genius like Qian Wang. If he were to be cut off here, I fear even Heaven would not accept it!

So as early as when Qian Wang was heavily wounded, Lu Li had the idea of using a Life Fruit to help Qian Wang heal.

It was just that he was not sure he could refine Original Qi at the time, so he didn't bring it up!

Now that Life Fruits had been borne!

Naturally, he had to give one!

However, Lu Li was still a bit worried.

The Origin Spirit Spring here had no effect on Qian Wang, and although the effect of the Life Fruit was stronger than it, it might not necessarily work.

"It depends on Heaven's will!"

After handing that Life Fruit to Qian Wang.

Lu Li did not stay too long.

He turned and left.

Since this fruit could heal Zhao Xuanfeng and Yu Wuji and help them break through their existing realms, it might not necessarily fail to heal Qian Wang.

Just like that.

Lu Li returned to the streets of the Sheng Cheng.

Along the way!

He found that the Sheng Cheng was almost empty, with every household's doors tightly closed. The empty streets, except for the occasional two or three martial artists, had no pedestrians, which was very different from the prosperous scene of the past.

"What's going on?"

If he couldn't still sense the living aura in the houses around him, Lu Li would have almost thought this massive Sheng Cheng had become a dead city.

A few steps later.

Lu Li stopped a passerby.

"So you didn't know. No wonder you dare to run outside. The Saint of Feathers is trapped in the Wujin Huangye. If it weren't for the City Lord Mansion and the major martial families coming forward, the entire Sheng Cheng would have collapsed long ago."

After the person finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

The Saint of Feathers was actually trapped!

In his urgency.

Lu Li headed toward the City Lord Mansion.

The Sheng Cheng City Lord Mansion would have the most accurate information. He couldn't get anything from these pedestrians.

A moment later.

Lu Li arrived outside the City Lord Mansion.

With his current cultivation, he could face anyone directly, and no one could stop him.

"City Lord Lin, Lu Li has come to pay a visit."

Outside the City Lord Mansion hall.

Lu Li appeared.

Only until now.

Did the guards notice Lu Li's arrival, and they rushed toward here one after another.

"All of you, retreat!"

Inside the hall.

An old voice came.

Immediately after, with a "creak," the City Lord Mansion hall door opened.

Those guards retreated.

Lu Li also stepped inside.

The Lord of the Sheng Cheng was named Lin Musheng, a member of the Sheng Cheng Lin family, of the same clan as the Saint of Feathers. He could meet the Saint of Feathers at any time and receive his guidance. His cultivation had reached peak Martial King decades ago.

He was also one of the seeds for becoming a Saint chosen by the Saint of Feathers!

However, Lin Musheng did not have Qian Wang's talent and had been trapped at peak Martial King for decades. How could he achieve the Dao in one morning?

So after trying, he returned to the Sheng Cheng City Lord Mansion to preside over the overall situation again, especially after the news of the Saint of Feathers being trapped spread, the Sheng Cheng City Lord Mansion could not be without him.

At this moment.

Lin Musheng raised his head with a face full of exhaustion.

Under his graying hair, beads of sweat overflowed, which was extremely rare to see on a peak Martial King, showing how much pressure he was under.

"You've come out?"

Lin Musheng looked at Lu Li and smiled lightly.

Also as one of the seeds for becoming a Saint!

He had met Lu Li before Lu Li entered that Secret Land, so he naturally recognized him.

"I've come out."

Lu Li nodded lightly.

On his face, a look of gravity appeared again: "The Saint of Feathers is trapped?"

"Yes!"

Lin Musheng gave a bitter smile.

"The news came back yesterday. I don't know who leaked the wind, but it hasn't even been a day, and the news has spread throughout the entire Sheng Cheng. Now the entire Sheng Cheng has become panicked."

"The Saint of Feathers is the only Saint of the Human Race. A day has passed, and you haven't taken any action yet?" Lu Li said in a deep voice.

"There are several Saint-realm Fierce Beasts deep in the Wujin Huangye. Who dares to break in?" Lin Musheng shook his head.

"Then we just wait for death?"

Lu Li took a deep breath.

"Once the Saint of Feathers falls, and several Saint-realm Fierce Beasts come together, who can resist?"

"Who doesn't know?"

Lin Musheng sighed lightly.

"But when the matter is not at hand, who is willing to go to their death in advance?"

"Is this the Sheng Cheng?"

Lu Li's expression suddenly turned cold.

A hundred years of peace!

Protected by the Eight Cities!

Those so-called major martial families had actually become like this!

It made sense!

Although the Sheng Cheng often sent people to support the Eight Cities, compared to the vastness of the Sheng Cheng, it was not worth mentioning. Even if those people saw the cruelty of the Fierce Beast war, they were completely unable to change anything.

Otherwise!

With the strength of the Sheng Cheng, when Dui City was broken, there would not have been no support at all.

Enjoying the protection of the Eight Cities, yet hesitating when it was time to contribute—if this news appeared in the Eight Cities, I believe that within half an hour, the City Lord Mansion would organize powerhouses to go to the rescue.

Even knowing they would surely die, they would go forward without hesitation!

This Sheng Cheng!

Truly makes one disappointed!

Lu Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the detailed news. I will do this."

"What?"

Lin Musheng frowned.

But seeing Lu Li's calm expression, he did not try to persuade him further.

Knowing it cannot be done but doing it anyway!

Compared to Lu Li, the people in the Sheng Cheng truly lived too comfortably!

Soon.

Lu Li obtained the information he wanted.

After saying goodbye, he turned and left.

Lin Musheng looked at the young back that was leaving, his expression becoming even more weathered.

"Presiding over the Sheng Cheng for a hundred years, I have actually let the entire Sheng Cheng degenerate to the point of being inferior to a young man. I have truly failed in my duty."

Lin Musheng sighed lightly.

He knew.

The Sheng Cheng should have some changes!

Otherwise, I don't know when a disaster will arrive.

A moment later.

High above in the sky, far from the Sheng Cheng.

Lu Li turned around.

Judging from the Sheng Cheng's performance this time, if they don't make changes, once the Saint of Feathers falls, it might even be destroyed earlier than the Eight Cities. However, he did not have deep ties with the Sheng Cheng and could not influence it at all.

Using force to change it would only be counterproductive.

"Now, it depends on Lin Musheng's methods."

What he could see!

Lin Musheng would also know!

If he really wanted to unite the Sheng Cheng, it would take a lot of effort.

These things would depend on Lin Musheng himself.

Lu Li turned his head and looked into the depths of the Wujin Huangye.

Before leaving, he also asked about Jiang Wuyan, but he didn't get any useful information. Here, except for Qian Wang who was still in the Origin Spirit Spring, there was no nostalgia.

He took a step.

And disappeared completely.
