503: Xu Shou

Upon returning, they found signs of battle in Qixia Mountain.

Su Qing had provided information that Zuo Yuecangqiong had sent a concubine to cause trouble, which was probably because of this.

However, the Dragon Gate Sect had just gained a Manifestation Grandmaster, along with a group of golden-bodied warriors wielding magical treasures to provide support.

Even if Zuo Yuecangqiong himself came, he could handle the situation, let alone a mere concubine.

Many young disciples were seen cleaning up and filling in the rubble, indicating that the matter had been resolved.

Lu Li also confirmed this through divine communication, but there were also some things that surprised him.

"The Devils imperial concubine didn't come to see you?"

Upon landing in the courtyard, the two Daoist Priest and their wives were there, as was the Tong Shao.

Her little face was still showing signs of shock as Xiao Cha comforted her in her arms.

Wan Qing used her Sense Transmission to convey the events to Lu Li.

The imperial concubine named Xiao Baihe sneaked into the "Red Leaf Valley" on the southwest mountainside after entering the Mountain Gate.

This was the residence of the junior disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect, and Xiao Baihe possessed a ninja-like stealth technique, so at first, no one noticed her.

She was only exposed when she made a ruthless move to kidnap "Tong Shao".

Li Yuanzhong's "heart image" is that of a crane, a spiritual bird that leaps and pounces upon you.

But they were a step too late, and it looked like they were going to miss their chance.

At the critical moment, the Tong Shao with Beast Head Bronze Whistle's " neck emitted a thick white ripple that blocked the attack, allowing Li Yuanzhong to subdue Xiao Baihe.

"So... this woman came for the Tong Shao?"

Lu Li patted the little girl's head and took a Spiritual Pear from the spirit realm for her.

"Tong Shao" happily accepted it, swallowed hard but didn't eat it, intending to share it with his friends.

Although this young girl has a good character, her talent is only above average, far inferior to that of the Chen Siblings.

Of course, with Lu Li taking care of her, her talent is no problem at all.

But something was amiss; what did the People of Izumo want her to do?

Lu Li asked Li Yuanzhong, "Have you interrogated Xiao Baihe?"

"His mind was controlled by Amaterasu, and interrogation was useless; he had already been devoured by the crane."

Li Yuanzhong appeared calm, but his methods were quite ruthless.

His indecisiveness and soft-heartedness are nowhere to be seen when facing foreign enemies.

Lu Li didn't seem to care much and said:

"Whatever their schemes and tricks, once I Martial Saint, I'll tear that island apart."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became excited, especially Wan Qing and the cat-eared girl.

They harbored a deep-seated hatred for Izumo and were eager to Izumo a massacre.

The man before them wouldn't keep them waiting long.

Lu Li pondered that, besides destroying Zuo Yuecangqiong, he also needed to find a way to take a look at the other party's Blue Star.

If they gained power, they could have easily destroyed the Star Alliance Country... But what would the pro-Japanese elements do then?

At this moment, Su Qing said, "Donkey, wasn't Liu Xuan's Sun Moon Jade Gu with you before?"

"I'm here, what's up?"

"This is the sect leader's token. You will accompany me to the Mount Tai Spiritual Realm and take it down completely!"

Su Qing licked her lips and smiled, "There's a lake in the Spirit Realm formed from condensed spiritual energy that I've been wanting to visit for a long time~"

Lu Li, having just run out of inspiration, suddenly became interested as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Mount Tai Sect was now at their mercy, so the two of them immediately went over.

Meanwhile, in Izumo Sakura City, Nan Jinping quietly infiltrated.

This international metropolis is more prosperous than you can imagine.

All sorts of high-rise buildings stand side by side in an orderly fashion, no less impressive than a modern city.

The people coming and going were also in high spirits, dressed smartly, and quite energetic.

Nan Jinping looked around expressionlessly, and without stopping, soon arrived at a detached villa.

He found a secluded spot, and with his somewhat cloudy old eyes, he stared intently at the doorway for the entire day.

Until midnight, a gust of wind blew behind them, and a familiar voice sighed:

"Sigh, can't you just stay calm? You're always causing trouble."

It was Hua Ruoxi who arrived. The old eunuch was dressed in an elegant plaid suit, with even the buttons made of openwork metal, exuding the air of a wealthy family's butler.

Nan Jinping said sternly, "You're so old, do you really want to be buried in a foreign land? Escorting the person here is enough, come back with me."

Sigh, sigh...

Hua Ruoxi sighed several times and said:

"The late Emperor and Consort Xianyu were both raised by me. My feelings for them are like your feelings for Xia and Lu... Heavenly Monarch Lu."

When Lu Li was mentioned, Hua Ruoxi's expression became extremely strange.

Nan Jinping also said:

"We are incredibly fortunate to have encountered a sage descended from heaven. Izumo Island is in grave danger; you should quickly take 'Kawashima Kakko' and come with me."

Hua Ruoxi was immediately conflicted. Returning to the previous dynasty would only cause a lot of trouble; he just wanted his young master to grow up peacefully...

Nan Jinping was about to urge him again when suddenly an electronic voice sounded:

Excuse me... if you're going back to the Divine Continent, could you take me with you?

The sound was faint and filled with interfering noise, startling Nan Jinping and Hua Ruoxi, who immediately looked towards its source.

It's a metal button on Hua Ruoxi's suit!

"It's not a magical artifact!"

Hua Ruoxi ripped off the button, revealing no trace of Cultivator's techniques. Only a tiny speaker and chip, about the size of a soybean, were stuck to the back of the button, hidden within the pattern.

It was clearly a small listening device and sound transmission device!

Although Hua Ruoxi didn't know what it was, her eyes flashed with a sharp light when she saw this technological device, and she suddenly said:

"Your voice sounds familiar... you are... Xu Shou?"

[Yes, it's me. We met once before at the welcome banquet hosted by the Devils.]

Xu Shou readily admitted it, and Nan Jinping's expression immediately changed!

This is quite an extraordinary person!

After boarding a foreign warship and taking a tour, he returned and built Divine Continent's first steamship, the "Huanghu".

There are also interpretations of spiritual energy, annotations of the Six Meridian Divine Sword, and the naming of the Fusion Acupoint...

Such deeds made him famous both at home and abroad, and they also profoundly influenced Lu Li, even though this person had no cultivation.

Nan Jinping couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Mr. Xu go abroad to study?"

[Swimming my ass! We were captured by the Devils to study chemical weapons!]

Xu Shou's voice was full of indignation. After calming himself down, he continued:

[At the banquet earlier, I noticed that Eunuch Hua always looked towards his hometown with a melancholy expression, so I dared to put a little trinket on your clothes... I have no cultivation whatsoever, I only wish to go home, please forgive me if I have offended you.]

Nan Jinping quickly replied, "He doesn't mind. Mr. Xu is leaving? I'd be happy to help!"

That's great! Thank you so much! But I can only get some fresh air tomorrow morning.

"It's alright, I'll follow your arrangements, sir! Waiting a few more days is fine, but it's better to be safe than sorry."

Nan Jinping, facing the metal button, made a grand promise, eager to rescue this extraordinary person and bring him back to the Divine Continent.

He didn't understand science or anything like that; he just felt that such a person would definitely be beneficial to the Divine Continent.

At this moment, Xu Shou's voice came from the button again, but this time it was addressed to Hua Ruoxi:

[Eunuch Hua, you'd better escape with us. Knowing the Devils's nature, they'll most likely turn you into a "Tactical Ghost" to wreak havoc on the Divine Continent.]

[I'm not in a position to say more right now; we can discuss the details tomorrow.]
