Chapter 349 Take Me Away
When he left the black palace, Su Buwang did not take anything but rushed to the gate of protection boundary. He didn’t want to own Shengtian Shrine and even for the man’s upbringing, he would look for opportunities to give it back!
“Well? There are few guards on the road. Did something happen…”
Looking around, Su Buwang felt strange, but he soon laughed at himself, “Since I don’t belong to Shengtian Shrine any longer, why should I care about it.”
Thinking so, he speeded up again. Although it was the first time to leave the holy palace of Shengtian Shrine, he had imagined countless times in his dream about leaving, so he skillfully opened the gate of protection boundary, laughingly flying out!
Boom!
At the moment when the protection boundary was closed, the white-haired young man who had been practiced in the deep of the black palace had sensation and looked up at the direction, with a pair of narrowed eyes squinting and soon a trace of indescribable bitterness on his thin and sharp face.
But in the blink of an eye, the bitterness had disappeared, and indifference and dignity appeared as usual.
“You eventually let him out, but how can you explain it to Great Lord?”
A sigh was suddenly from the dark.
The young man with white hair turned around and light naturally lit up. The source of this voice was not from man, but half of a mirror suspended in the air.
The mirror was full of mottled cracks, but one could still see that a figure was shaking inside, and it was… Jing Xin.
The white-haired young man was naturally Ling Li.
When Reincarnation Mirror was broken, she was supposed to turn into dust in this world, but Ling Li tried hard to rescue and gather her, and placed her in Reincarnation Mirror after half of it was broken and recombined.
“It’s impossible for me to let him go to Huangxing Hall. If I let him go to such a place, how can I live up to… his mother.”
As he spoke of the last two words, Ling Li’s voice was suddenly hoarse. Just thinking about that name would make him hard to control his emotions, let alone… speaking it out.
But in every minute and second of the past thousand years, he hoped that he could call that name again and say to her frankly, “Be my real cultivation partner!”
However, she had disappeared. He had been looking for thousands of years but couldn’t find her.
Unbearable pain and despair gradually became bearable numbness over time.
But even so, the face of that person in his mind was clearer and clearer, without being blurred by the millennium.
“Why bother?”
Jing Xin sighed and looked at Ling Li, hiding her deep love. After her reorganization, her thought on Su Li became very weak.
In this millennium years, she only saw Ling Li and talked with him. Naturally… she had that idea which she should not have. But she also knew that if she spoke this out, she might not be able to accompany Ling Li.
Therefore, she never mentioned it.
“How can Lord of Evil be trapped by affection? At least in front of other people, I can’t.”
Murmuring, Ling Li waved away the mirror, and his eyes were sharp again. After doing these, a distant voice seemed to come from the sky.
“Lord of Evil, Great Lord calls for you.”
Ling Li was not surprised. He got up and patted the clean black robe and walked out slowly.
Walking through the pavilions along the stone road, he could see the figures on the mountain floating in the endless clouds were moving and the shouting and roaring were continuous. Those were all disciples of Shengtian Shrine.
In the past, he was one of them and went all the way and killed many people, and finally got the present reputation.
Many disciples and servants came and went along the way. Seeing Ling Li, they were in fear and confusion, kowtowing without saying anything.
“My Lord!”
“My Lord!”
“My Lord!”
Ling Li was indifferent and did not stop. All the people didn’t relax until they couldn’t see him completely. They then talked in a low voice.
“Isn’t it said that Lord of Evil is in isolation for practice? How could he appear here?”
“It seems that he is going to see Great Lord.”
“He was really worthy of being God of Death in our Shengtian Shrine. Although his energy didn’t let out, it still made me feel frightened!”
“…”
On the other side, Ling Li had stepped to the deep part of Shengtian Shrine. At that time, there was nothingness, in which the black cloud mountain was suspended and the fog was constantly rolling with dark blue light.
On the cloud top of the mountain, the purple and black grand hall stood like an ancient giant, being immortal.
“Shengtian Palace…”
Ling Li looked slightly cold, stepping on the cloud mountain, where the blue lightning had made a way, quivering as if it was afraid of Ling Li.
Coming to the closed palace gate, Ling Li stepped in without hesitation.
Stepping into the palace, the light suddenly brightened, shutting the noise of lightning collision, which was extremely quiet.
“Ling Li, do you know you are wrong?”
As Ling Li just arrived, the voice suddenly came from all directions. Although the tone was plain, it was brewing unimaginable pressure, as if it would break out in the next moment.
Ling Li felt it, so, he suddenly turned to the right, with his white hair thrown behind, like a snow-white waterfall.
It was clearly a bright hall, but the place he saw was shrouded in darkness, unable to be penetrated by spirit awareness.
Seeing this, Ling Li made his trademark evil smile appeared, “Great Lord, what are you talking about? What’s wrong with me?”
“Unrepentant!”
The figure in the dark snorted coldly. Without seeing his action, Ling Li was hit by a huge force and severely fell to the ground from the top of the palace.
“I haven’t chalked up against you for defiling the blood of Ling Family! You dare to protect that little bastard?!”
Ling Li spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up slowly and raised his head with his eyes as sharp as that of hawks. Seeing the shadow approaching, he suddenly smiled with bloody in his corner of mouth,
“The blood of Ling Family? Great Lord, I still remember your entrustment that there is no relationship between you and me. How could you forget this matter just for thousands of years?”
After he said this, the shadow stood still. After a long time, the shadow began to speak, but in a relaxed tone.
“You are my most powerful weapon. I don’t want to lose you unless there’s no choice. As for that little bastard, I’ll send someone to pick it up, so, you don’t have to worry.”
Ling Li was still smiling. He stepped forward to stand in front of the shadow. If the shadow wanted to, he could kill Ling Li easily.
“Thank for your love, Great Lord. I should be proud of that, but… there is another thing that I forgot to tell you. I hope you could be generous and spare my life.”
The black air around the shadow immediately billowed, as if it had guessed what Ling Li wanted to say.
“I lost Yang jade-bone mask accidentally. Please punish me, Great Lord.”
“Bastard!! Stupid!! How can I have such a foolish heir as you!”
The black shadow was very angry, and the black air suddenly spread and turned into a huge palm, clasped Ling Li’s throat directly, and lifted him into the air. The roar came from the black shadow, “Just for a bastard brought back from outside, you dare to disobey my orders in spite of the future of Shengtian Shrine? Yeah?!”
Feeling the coming death, Ling Li did not resist, just quietly watching him with a pair of cold eyes.
The black shadow was trembling all over because of anger, but he was more forbearing unwillingly. He couldn’t kill Ling Li, or what the younger generation of Shengtian Shrine have to fight with other forces?
Originally, as long as that little bastard went to Huangxing Palace, he could form an alliance with the party. Although Su Buwang was not treated respectfully in Shengtian Shrine, the outsider did not know the details.
“Great Lord’s grandson” was enough to make Huangxing Palace know the sincerity of Shengtian Shrine.
But all of this was destroyed by Ling Li and it was irretrievable.
Yang jade-bone mask was the treasure Ling Li got in Reincarnation Mirror. That little bastard could completely change his pneuma with it. Qingshui Circle was too big, so, that Shengtian Shrine wanted to find him was just like looking for needles in a haystack!
“Get out of here!”
The black shadow, with a wave of sleeves, threw Ling Li out of palace door like garbage, “If such thing happens next time, even if I would lose the advantages of the younger generation, I would make an example and kill you!”
Ling Li lied at the gate of the palace, motionless. When the power restraining his cultivation in his body faded away like the tide, he got up slowly, glanced at the palace and left silently.
Killing him?
Unless there was a genius who could replace him in Shengtian Shrine, or the old man couldn’t do it. What he said just now was nonsense.
Back to the cold black palace, Ling Li sat on the stone and looked at the empty lower part. He recalled Su Buwang’s stubborn appearance of standing in front of him again and again in spite of punishment.
He behaved as his mother very much.
He suddenly reached out his hand, and Yin jade-bone mask appeared with the light. It seemed that the pneuma of Su Li was still left on it. The cold lines on his face immediately became soft, as bright and warm as in the illusion.
“Li, do you know, our son has grown up. I have honed his mind for thousands of years in this palace. That boy is very smart and is enough to go into the cultivation circle. You… should take me away… “
…
At this moment, in the underground treasure house in Jincheng Dynasty, the core of spiritual stone in Su Li’s hand “clicked” and was completely broken into useless stone powder.
“Boom!”
The pneuma like the majestic sea suddenly erupted from the periphery of Su Li, and the treasures on the shelf were scattered.
“To reach the tenth hurdle of Lianqi Realm… I have the last step!!”
Sensing the condition in her body, Su Li grabbed the middle-grade spiritual stones piled up on her side, and quickly absorbed them to fulfill the last trace of vacancy.
When dozens of middle-grade spiritual stones were turned into annihilation powder, the pneuma of Su Li finally reached perfection.
“The moment of reaching Zhuji Realm comes finally.”
She opened her eyes and breathed for a while. She absorbed the core of spiritual stone for only two hours, which was far faster than she expected. She had thought it would take at least four hours.
“Is the power of body of evil ghost only reflected in the speed of absorbing energy…”
With doubts, Su Li opened the box where Zhuji Elixir was placed, and was about to take and swallow it. Suddenly, her face changed slightly. The Black Lotus Tactics in her body worked by itself and quickly mobilized all the black spiritual power to rush to the unknown acupuncture point.
