Chapter 53: Peerless Glory

City Lord Mansion Hall.

Yu Wuji showed a look of surprise.

These rewarded heavenly treasures, let alone for Lu Li alone, would be considered extremely generous even for a first-class Martial Dao family like the Ouyang family. He couldn't understand why Lu Li would show such an expression, and what else could have left him unsatisfied.

"I am not dissatisfied!"

Lu Li shook his head.

"It's just that there is nothing I want here."

"Oh, then what do you want?"

Yu Wuji became interested.

He wanted to see what the young man in front of him needed, that could make him ignore so many heavenly treasures!

"Heavenly Pulse Continuation Pill!"

Lu Li said this name.

In fact, long before seeing Shen Yiya, he had already made plans. Shen Yiya was missing a leg, and the only way to regrow it was with the Heavenly Pulse Continuation Pill. Although this pill was extremely precious, it was not non-existent in Qian Cheng.

This City Lord Mansion reception was the best opportunity!

But unfortunately, he didn't see it on the reward list!

This made him somewhat disappointed!

"So it's that."

Yu Wuji showed a look of understanding.

"This pill has the ability to reconnect broken limbs and can save a life at a critical moment. It is of great use even to Kings. Although it is not a holy object, it is enough to be comparable to a holy object. Even in the City Lord Mansion, there are only three, and they will not be taken out unless it is a last resort."

"Is there really no way? Even if I trade all these rewards for it?" Lu Li said.

"If you say so, it's not impossible."

Yu Wuji nodded slightly.

"But you have to think clearly. These things are enough to recreate a force. Although the Heavenly Pulse Continuation Pill is good, it can only save one person, and it is far less important than so many rewards."

"I naturally understand, but I still want to trade." Lu Li showed a look of determination in his eyes.

"In that case, I will not prepare this reward anymore. As for the Heavenly Pulse Continuation Pill, it is hidden in the depths of the City Lord Mansion treasury, and I need to take it out personally. I will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow morning, how about that?" Yu Wuji asked.

"Everything is according to the City Lord Mansion's arrangement."

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only now did he know that the Heavenly Pulse Continuation Pill was enough to be comparable to holy medicine. Looking at it this way, its rarity even exceeded his previous imagination.

Such spiritual medicine!

I'm afraid only the City Lord Mansion could possess it!

If he hadn't taken this opportunity to obtain it, he would have broken his promise to Shen Big Brother!

Fortunately, things were still under control!

Although the price was a bit high, there were no accidents!

Seeing his expression, Yu Wuji smiled gently: "Since the reward is decided, the next step is to grant glory."

"Glory?"

Lu Li was somewhat strange.

With his status as a Martial Spirit, he didn't lack any glory in Qian Cheng.

"This glory is not ordinary."

Yu Wuji just smiled.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of golden light appeared in front of Lu Li's chest. The golden light was restrained, like ten thousand threads intertwined, constantly gathering and condensing, and finally turned into the brilliant golden characters "Peerless," as if a token was firmly branded on his chest.

"Peerless Token!"

A look of disbelief appeared on Lu Li's face.

How could this be?

Living in Qian Cheng!

He had long heard of the great name of the Peerless Token!

The Peerless Token not only possessed golden light to protect the body and could condense a King's strike, but it also represented the highest glory of Qian Cheng. As long as it was worn on the body, one could override the rules of Qian Cheng and possess the power of life and death.

Qian Cheng had been established for nearly a hundred years!

Only three people had been able to obtain this token from Qian Wang!

The first was Qian Wang's teacher, the General Dean of the Eight Great Academies, Cang Yuanzi, who silently dedicated his life to Qian Cheng until he finally passed away.

The second was right in front of him, Vice City Lord Yu Wuji, who had already become another pillar of Qian Cheng!

And the third was the Great General Ning Qisha, who led the army outside and commanded the ten million Qian Cheng army!

These three!

Every one of them had heaven-defying cultivation!

And dedicated their lives to Qian Cheng!

Their credit was so great that almost no one dared to compare with them!

What virtue or ability did he have to be able to obtain such glory and stand shoulder to shoulder with them!

"Are you surprised?"

Yu Wuji's voice came.

"Actually, you should know why this is?"

"Could it be..."

Lu Li's expression changed instantly.

This Peerless Token could not be obtained unless the credit was so great that it could not be rewarded!

A mere piece of news that he and the six people of the Ouyang family worked together to send back was simply not worthy of such honor. Otherwise, Ouyang Sheng and the other three would have been able to obtain it, and the Ouyang family would have long since overridden many Martial Dao families because of this.

Not until now, without any movement!

The only possibility he could obtain it.

Was...

"Has the news of me destroying Black Stone City and stealing the Black Eagle King's Wutong Holy Tree leaked out?" Lu Li smiled bitterly.

"This matter is not difficult to guess."

Seeing Lu Li's attentive appearance, Yu Wuji spoke gently again.

"In that battle, the Fierce Beasts had already gained the upper hand, but the Hei Diao Wang suddenly retreated. This made all the powerhouses in Qian Cheng, including me, very confused. After learning that the Hei Diao Wang immediately blocked the entire territory and searched frantically, I was even more confused.

For this reason, I activated the dark agents that the City Lord Mansion hadn't used for a long time, and only then did I get the news that Black Stone City was destroyed and the Wutong Holy Tree was stolen."

Speaking of this.

He glanced at Lu Li again.

"Although you hid it well and didn't reveal a single word, you must know that the only one who could appear in the depths of the Wujin Huangye during the war was you."

"In that case, this matter cannot be hidden." Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

"That's right."

Yu Wuji nodded to remind him.

"Although the City Lord Mansion did not make this news public, and the Ouyang family did not deliberately leak the fact that you went to the Wujin Huangye, after today, as long as there are interested people, they will be able to detect this point. Those Martial Dao families will also be able to guess it, it's just a matter of time."

"Then didn't the City Lord Mansion suspect it?" Lu Li said in a deep voice.

"I know what you want to say."

Yu Wuji's expression sank slightly.

"Those Fierce Beasts dared to invade on a large scale because they learned the news that Qian Wang had left. And within Qian Cheng, those who knew Qian Wang had left were all the top batch of people. Besides Qian Wang himself, even I don't know. So to find that person, we can only wait for Qian Wang to return."

"I understand."

Lu Li's expression changed uncertainly.

In the previous battle, the three-way King Fierce Beast army invaded together, so someone in Qian Cheng must have leaked the news!

If someone really colluded with the Hei Diao Wang!

They would definitely find a way to take back the Wutong Holy Tree from his hands!

Therefore, he had always hidden the news, not wanting to bring more trouble.

But now that the City Lord Mansion had guessed it, the news would not be far from leaking. He had wanted to remind Yu Wuji to let this Vice City Lord take action in advance to solve the trouble, so he wouldn't have to worry.

But now it seems that this Vice City Lord also couldn't determine who betrayed Qian Cheng!

All of this had to wait for Qian Wang to come back to solve it.

Then for the next period of time.

He had to be careful!
