After hearing Lu Ren's question, Evil Emperor was startled for a moment, and then said, "I don't have anything to ask for, but if I insist on making one - just one."
"That's the safety of my tribe----"
"If I just follow you, Evil Demon Forest will no longer have anyone to guard you."
"That's a problem." Lu Ren raised his hand and stroked his chin and said in a deep voice.
"Let's do this. Later I can help you Evil Eye Clan train a guardian who is strong enough. It will be about as powerful as you."
"This way, even if you and I Ascension to the Divine Realm, there will still be someone in the clan who can hold the place, enough to deter any enemy and protect your clan from harm."
"Plus, with Spirit Pagoda helping to take care of it, there shouldn't be any big problems."
"?"
"Can you do this?"
Evil Emperor was shocked again.
Cultivate a Evil Eye Tyrant that is nearly as powerful as it?
What else can't this human being do?
Lu Ren thought about it carefully, "It probably won't work now."
"But after I reach Tsukumo level, I should be able to do it."
After reaching Tsukumo level, Lu Ren can obtain Chaos and Harmony and Cursed Technique.
The effect of this Cursed Technique is simply incredible, and it will definitely be able to do what he said before.
"----Thank you."
Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler was silent for several seconds, and finally said something muffled.
This is the first time it has spoken these two words to a human being.
Lu Ren smiled and said nothing more.
After getting Ninth Soul Ring, my strength has reached a new level.
Shrek Academy has been destroyed, Sun Moon Empire has established a new emperor, and all that needs to be dealt with has been taken care of by him.
But next, there are more important things.
"Things here are settled, but if I still want to take my cultivation further, I have to go to that place."
Lu Ren couldn't help but look at Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
Ice Empress blinked those Orange-Gold eyes and asked subconsciously, "Where?"
"A place that can make you stronger is also a good place that can benefit me." Lu Ren smiled mysteriously.
"What's the point? Really." Ice Empress snorted when he saw his mysterious look.
She hates it when Lu Ren whets her appetite, but this guy still enjoys it every time.
"Okay." Lu Ren raised his hands in surrender.
He didn't want to be chased and talked about by Ice Empress.
"The place we are going to next is Dragon City of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Five days later.
Dragon City.
This large city rooted in the permafrost in the northeast of the Heaven Dou Empire has a history of at least Thousand-Year.
One-third of the year is covered by ice and snow, and the masonry on the city wall has been polished smooth and hard by countless snowstorms. A huge stone plaque is inlaid above the city gate, with two powerful characters "Dragon City" engraved on it.
It was once a large city in the northern region of the Heaven Dou Empire, the gateway to northern Xinjiang, and an important northern town where countless Soul Master sects took root here.
But now it has fallen.
This majestic northern city where Thousand-Year stood erect was as fragile as paper in the face of Soul Guidance Technology's crushing.
Heavenly Dragon Sect and Earth Dragon Sect in the city wanted to take the lead in organizing a counterattack, but unfortunately, the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect died in the battle, and a large number of high-level Soul Master also died. As for those who still wanted to resist, there were not many left.
Only a few sects such as Earth Dragon Sect are still surviving.
The traditional Soul Master is about to be completely eliminated by Soul Tool. How can we not be sad about this situation?
At this time, Lu Ren has arrived at Dragon City.
Lu Ren stood on a high ground outside the city, raising his head and looking at the defense line above Dragon City.
A large number of High-Altitude Soul Tool Detector have been deployed in the sky above Dragon City.
Now Sun Moon Empire has High-Altitude Soul Tool Detector shrouded the entire city so tightly that not even a mosquito with a slightly higher Soul Power cultivation level can fly in.
But for Lu Ren who owns Limitless, this kind of physical level monitoring method is the same as not having it.
Lu Ren's body flashed and disappeared from the place out of thin air.
The next moment, the person was standing firmly in a secluded alley in Dragon City.
As soon as we entered the city, the cold air decreased significantly.
Dragon City's city wall is extremely thick, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the city wall is very obvious. Outside the city, the cold wind blows on the face like a knife. Once inside the city, blocked by the city wall and tall buildings, the temperature is obviously several degrees higher than outside the city.
Lu Ren Looking around, he found that everything in the city seemed to be normal.
The entire city did not show signs of ruins and devastation that were common after being captured.
The people of Dragon City are still living their normal lives, just like their daily lives in the past, as if they have not bear the cost and chaos caused by the war at all.
"Well, you did pretty well."
Lu Ren walked on the stone road, looked at the scene in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems they still listen to me."
"Ju Zi has a good way of running the army. If he doesn't disturb the people, he won't disturb the people. Rather than being destroyed by the war, this city is more like being replaced by a new management system, which is good."
At this moment, two streams of light appeared beside him silently.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress, one on the left and one on the right, appeared directly beside him.
Ice Empress is wearing the Dress. She is petite, standing on the left side of Lu Ren and barely reaches his shoulder. From the perspective of passers-by, she looks like a little girl going shopping with her family.
Snow Empress has white hair hanging down her waist, and her white Palace Dress robe gently flutters in the breeze, making her look like a goddess carved from ice and snow.
With two stunning beauties standing by each other, Lu Ren truly experienced the blessing of being together.
Pedestrians passing by looked sideways, their eyes full of questions as to who this young man was.
"Is this person crazy? Sun Moon Empire has already occupied this city, and he still dares to walk out with such a beauty?"
"It's hard to say, maybe he's from the Sun Moon Empire military. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?"
As soon as these words came out, others immediately understood and no longer were suspicious.
However, a young couple happened to pass by directly opposite. As soon as the woman saw Snow Empress's face, she immediately lowered her head and quickened her pace. She was probably a little ashamed of herself because of her beauty.
Her husband looked at Ice Empress twice more, and then his wife grabbed him by the ear and dragged him away.
"You two, just coming out like this has attracted a lot of people's attention." Lu Ren sighed.
"What's going on? Why don't you come out to play for us?" Ice Empress said cheerfully.
"Okay, of course I can let you go out and play. I don't restrict your freedom." Lu Ren said happily, "It's just right. You can take a stroll in this city and you can experience the fun of the human world."
"Sun Moon Empire did a pretty good job in this regard, at least I didn't see any casualties."
Snow Empress said, "If Sun Moon Empire people dare not listen to you, wouldn't they follow in the footsteps of Shrek?"
"No matter how crazy those people are, they won't dare to be petty with you."
Ice Empress crossed his arms and couldn't help but smile, "That's right."
Her beautiful eyes were full of pride, and that pride came from watching Lu Ren, the kind of big shot who commanded the world after stirring up troubles, and she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
"You guys should find a place to play first. I'll ask a passerby about the situation here." Lu Ren said with a smile, "After all, if you want to know the real situation in the city, you have to ask the people in person."
"Everything can be faked, but the words in people's mouths are less likely to be faked, especially when asked unexpectedly."
Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked at each other and nodded.
They didn't want to interfere with Lu Ren's work, so they found a stall selling hot tea on the street and sat down.
Ice Empress curiously took the teacup on the stall and turned it around between his fingers.
Snow Empress was holding a cup of hot tea, gently blowing away the tea leaves on the surface, and sipping in small sips, looking elegant and calm.
Lu Ren, who was far away, glanced at the flow of people on the street.
There are not many people on the streets in winter, and even fewer are free.
He quickly zeroed in on a target. She was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, and carrying a bamboo basket in her hand. In the bamboo basket were several frozen, hard cabbages and a small piece of meat wrapped in oil paper.
This person obviously just came out of the vegetable shop and has time and leisure, which is perfect for asking questions.
Lu Ren walked forward and waved to her. "Hello, I would like to ask about Dragon City's recent situation."
"I came from outside and don't know what happened here.
The woman was indeed a little impatient at first.
She was planning to go home and cook for her family when she was suddenly stopped by a stranger and subconsciously frowned.
But when she saw Lu Ren's appearance clearly, her brows relaxed instantly, her eyes with slightly raised corners brightened up, and a smile that was visible to the naked eye even appeared on her face.
The white-haired young man has an extremely handsome face, a tall and straight posture, and an indescribable temperament in his movements.
It is extremely rare for such a person to stand on this street and ask for directions.
For a commoner, this kind of opportunity probably only comes once in a lifetime.
"You can ask me any questions you have. Speaking of which, where are you from?" The woman's tone was obviously flattering, and her voice was several degrees softer than at the beginning.
She even adjusted her collar subconsciously.
Lu Ren didn't change his expression after seeing the change in this woman's complexion.
Do you even need to look at modeling for this kind of thing?
But he still said calmly, "I'm from the south and came here to meet a friend."
"Only after I arrived, I realized that Dragon City seemed to have changed, so I wanted to find someone to ask about the current situation."
The woman smiled, combed her hair that had been blown away by the wind, and said with a beaming smile, "Then you have to be careful. This is a time of war, so don't get close to the place where the fighting is going on."
"Although our Dragon City has settled down, there are still some remaining forces fighting guerrillas outside the city."
"If you want to leave the city, you must take the main entrance road and don't take the side streets."
Lu Ren followed her words and asked, "Is that so? It sounds quite safe, but I heard that Dragon City's place has fallen? It shouldn't be so stable."
The woman did not shy away from anything, but spoke openly, "Dragon City has now been occupied by the Sun Moon Empire. We were all worried at first, fearing that Sun Moon Empire would come to massacre the city. We were all frightened at first, but now it seems that the situation is not too bad."
"Oh?" Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, with a hint of curiosity in his tone, "What was the situation like after the war? Did they burn, kill, and loot?"
The woman waved her hand with a relaxed expression on her face. "We civilians don't know the specific situation, but at least Sun Moon Empire didn't do anything excessive to us civilians after they occupied Dragon City."
"On the first day they entered the city, they put up a notice to calm the people. They said a lot of things like the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire decreed that the people of Dragon City will be the people of the Sun and Moon."
"The most important thing is that the notice clearly states that people will not be robbed of property, nor will they kill people at will. Everyone is asked to maintain order and not leave the house easily."
When she said this, she was afraid that Lu Ren wouldn't believe it, so she pointed at a wall at the corner of the street. "Look at that location, there are still traces of the Anmin notice posted before."
Lu Ren glanced in the direction she pointed, and there were indeed several faded notice papers posted on the wall. The edges were soaked by snow and water, and some of the writing was blurred, but the general outline was still there.
Lu Ren then asked, "That's it?"
Seeing that Lu Ren was interested in this topic, the woman spoke more enthusiastically, "Yes! They have occupied Dragon City for a long time, and they only left some troops to maintain order at the beginning."
"Those who serve as soldiers do obey the rules. They pay for everything they buy, live in the military camp without disturbing the people, and organize night patrols at night to maintain public order."
"Then in about two days, Sun Moon Empire businessmen started pouring in."
"And Sun Moon Empire's army withdrew from the city only two days after entering the city. When the main army was not fighting, no extra troops were stationed in the city. They were all stationed in the camp outside the city."
"So you probably didn't see many soldiers when you entered the city."
"Besides, you should have seen it when you came here. Our Dragon City was not damaged in any way."
"There are traces of bombing in the northern and eastern sections of the city wall, but the houses in Nancheng where the people live are basically intact."
"I just heard that several Soul Master sects in the city were forced to leave Dragon City by the Sun Moon Empire's army."
"Big sects such as Heavenly Dragon Sect and Earth Dragon Sect were of course the first to be evicted. They said that under orders from above, all Soul Master sects were moved out of the city. It is unclear where they were moved."
"But as long as the people in the city don't take the initiative to help them cause damage, no one will come to trouble you."
When she said this, she suddenly lowered her voice, as if she was sharing some great secret. "By the way, don't you think it's strange? As soon as those merchants entered our Dragon City, they didn't sell goods, but gave them away."
"I heard that they sent a lot of strange products to the nobles in the city. It is said that they are all related to Soul Tool."
"A stove that can generate heat without burning firewood, a storage box that can automatically keep food fresh for many days if you put it in it, and a flashlight that emits a long ray of light when pressed, are ten thousand times more convenient than a torch."
"A relative of mine works as a handyman in the city lord's mansion. When he came back yesterday, he said that the merchants specially gave some portable heaters to servants like them, and they also provided three free meals a day."
"You said that their country has occupied our Dragon City, but in turn they want to send us soul guides, food, and supplies."
"When Heaven Dou Empire was still here, the nobles collected our taxes and levied corvee every day, but they never gave us anything."
"So I really don't understand what this means and what the purpose of this war is, but I feel that Sun Moon Empire gives me a much better impression than Heaven Dou Empire."
Lu Ren Hearing this, the corner of his mouth curved with satisfaction.
Soul Tool Improving the quality of life is what Sun Moon Empire is best at.
They use high-tech productivity as a soft knife to allow civilians to naturally put down their hostility to the invaders after experiencing the convenience brought by Soul Guidance Technology.
Once they get used to using a Sun Moon Empire heater to survive the winter, and then go through the Heaven Dou Empire kind of winter where they burn firewood and rely on cotton-padded jackets, they will make their own choices.
This strategy of Ju Zi penetrates from the bottom, is stable and ruthless, and is very suitable for Lu Ren.
"Thank you. What you told me is very useful to me. Please accept it."
Lu Ren took out one hundred Gold Soul Coin from his Storage Soul Tool and put it into the woman's bamboo basket.
The moment the woman saw the bag of Gold Soul Coin, her pupils shook violently.
This, this is one hundred Gold Soul Coin?!
She could only spend one hundred Gold Soul Coin to buy a month of vegetables for ten consecutive years.
This money is enough for her family to have enough food and clothing without having to work for more than ten years.
"Oh my god----this, this is----"
The woman's voice trembled and her hands trembled.
The woman was so excited that she could not speak coherently. She picked up a few Gold Soul Coin and bit them in her mouth. After confirming that they were genuine, she thanked Lu Ren repeatedly.
Then she raised her head, and the passion in her eyes made Lu Ren feel a chill down her back.
How to say----
It's like the look in the eyes of a woman who has been single for thirty years after seeing a top-notch, rich and handsome man.
"What's your surname, young master? Do you want to come and sit at my house?"
"I'll repay you by cooking for you. You've had a hard day since it's cold and the roads are slippery. It's better to take a rest. Of course, I definitely don't mean that, but if you have that intention, I can't."
As she spoke, her footsteps moved half a step towards Lu Ren unconsciously.
With the impatient light in her eyes, she almost dragged Lu Ren to book a room with her on the spot.
Lu Ren had never seen such a battle before. He was fighting God Official and Evil Emperor without changing his expression, but when he was approached by a commoner woman in the street, he couldn't hold back any longer.
This frightened Lu Ren and he quickly waved his hands and found an excuse to go see his friends. He rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and quickly turned around the corner into the alley.
Limitless was subconsciously moved by him, and he almost teleported towards the tea stall where Ice Empress and Snow Empress were drinking tea.
Behind her, the woman looked at the direction in which Lu Ren was escaping, holding the heavy Gold Soul Coin bag in her hand with a look in her eyes like a resentful woman.
She Youyou sighed, "Sure enough, this kind of heavenly being is just going through the motions - but it's okay, one hundred Gold Soul Coin is enough for the rest of my life. This transaction is not a loss."
"It would be better if handsome boys of this caliber come more often."
At the tea stall, Ice Empress put the tea cup on the table, and saw Lu Ren looking in a panic. He put his chin in his hands and joked with a smile, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so good at this."
"How can you talk to someone with this kind of beauty? Look at the posture just now. If you say a few more words, I'm afraid they will knock you down on the spot."
Lu Ren:
"----"
Why does he feel jealous?
Ice Empress These words sounded like a joke, but the sourness in his tone almost overflowed.
If she really didn't care, she wouldn't mention it at all.
"I'm doing business, what are you thinking about?" Snow Empress didn't answer the question at all. He put down the teacup in his hand and gave Ice Empress a faint look.
"The words he asked were all for information purposes. The information coming out of people's mouths is more real than any intelligence network. He was checking Ju Zi's political achievements, not to seduce civilian girls."
She paused and looked at Lu Ren: "How about we take a rest? During this period, you have been fighting all the time. From Holy Spirit Cult to Shrek, from Shrek to the Sun Moon Empire, from the Sun Moon Empire to Evil Demon Forest, you went around in a full circle without even taking a good rest."
"Although you can bear it physically, your spirit also needs a rest."
"It just so happens that Dragon City is quite peaceful at the moment. Looking for a place to stay for one night?"
