The reason why Li Shang took the trouble to return to Kyushu with Lu Ye was because of the agreement between them that Lu Ye would give her her freedom and she would help Lu Ye's group of friends find a way out.
Thinking back to when she was accidentally exposed and captured by a Rizhao monk, and finally sent to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce for auction, Lu Ye spent a lot of money to snatch her away from another bidder.
For Li Shang, Lu Ye even missed the Fengtian Blue Crystal.
Of course, in hindsight, it was a good thing that he missed it, because he got the 砠 and didn't need the Fengtian Blue Crystal at all.
When he first met Lu Ye, Li Shang was wary, because no one knew better than the Soul Clan itself the value of the Soul Clan to monks of other races, so for a long time, Li Shang didn't even bother to say a word to Lu Ye. She said that no matter how sincere and sincere Lu Ye acted, she still felt that it was Lu Ye's trick to deceive her trust so that she would be willing to work for him.
It wasn't until Lu Ye was summoned by the Reincarnation Tree that Li Shang realized Lu Ye's terrifying potential. It was from that time that Li Shang gradually changed his perception of Lu Ye.
Because the person who can be favored by the Reincarnation Tree and given the brand has nothing to say about his character, it is basically impossible for him to be a treacherous person.
Slowly getting in touch with him, slowly getting familiar with him, and now, he can be considered a confidant.
After returning to this realm for a month, Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen, and when he suddenly appeared today, Li Shang naturally knew his intentions.
As Lu Ye finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, and then a portal appeared out of thin air.
Li Shang was surprised because she didn't notice any signs of Lu Ye activating his spiritual power or other actions. With her eyesight, she couldn't tell how the portal was opened.
How did she know that there was a secret in Jiuzhou? Lu Ye only needed to say hello to Xiaojiu in advance. Under Xiaojiu's operation, the portal could be opened whenever he wanted.
"Fellow Taoist, please!" Lu Ye extended his hand to signal.
Although Li Shang was confused, he did not continue to explore and stepped into the portal.
Lu Ye picked up Yaya who was beside him and followed him in.
The familiar Xianyuan City immediately came into view. The location where Lu Ye and Li Shang appeared was by the soul pool of the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, a middle-aged man was standing quietly beside him, looking towards this side.
Lu Ye turned his head to look, bowed and saluted: "Senior!"
This middle-aged man is surprisingly the city leader of Xianyuan City, Zishan.
Zhang Zishan smiled and replied: "Yiye is here." Then he glanced at Yaya in Lu Ye's arms and showed a puzzled look. He didn't know why Lu Ye brought a child in.
Zhang Zishan only has the cultivation level of the peak of Shenhai, so naturally he cannot see the clues about Yaya with his eyesight.
But when he looked at Li Shang, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise, because he felt that there was some strange aura on Li Shang's body, and this aura made him feel inexplicably familiar.
This feels obviously abnormal.
"Who is this……"
"This is Fellow Daoist Li Shang!" Lu Ye introduced, "Senior, has Xiaojiu greeted you?"
Zhang Zishan said: "Xiaojiu only said that you would bring a friend over, but he didn't mention anything specific."
Lu Ye understood and explained: "Senior, Fellow Daoist Li Shang is not a human race, she is a soul race..."
Just as he was talking, the soul pool beside him suddenly surged, and then several immortal guards jumped out of it and rushed towards him, cursing.
Lu Ye was stunned.
Zhang Zishan explained: "The secret realm of Xianyuan City has been opened, and now a group of little guys are practicing here."
Lu Ye unfolded his spiritual thoughts, and he noticed that there were many Lingxi monks scattered throughout the city. Many monks were competing with the Xianyuan Guards, and they were fighting fiercely. There was also a battlefield where hundreds of Lingxi monks were fighting. The two groups were attacking each other.
This reminded him of the first time he entered Xianyuan City, which seemed to be not much different from the scene before him.
Although Kyushu has been promoted to a large realm now, in the Lingxi Battlefield and Yunhe Battlefield, the battle between Haotian Alliance and Ten Thousand Demons Ridge is still maintained. Although there will inevitably be many casualties, the stars in Kyushu are all like this Everyone who has come through step by step knows that the flowers grown in the greenhouse will not grow big, so there needs to be fighting and confrontation within Kyushu. If the world is really unified, the monks will also lose the opportunity to hone their skills.
Only monks who grew up in the bloody storms have the ability to face greater risks from the outside world. Otherwise, even if they are successful in practice, they will be weak outside Kyushu.
The real strength of the Xianyuan Guards is naturally not just as simple as Lingxi, but also exists in the True Lake of Yunhe and even the Divine Sea. However, when the secret realm of Xianyuan City is opened, the Xianyuan Guards will only use the strength of the Lingxi Realm, so they cannot avoid it. They were killed by monks, but the Xianyuan Guards are all immortal in Xianyuan City. Even if they are killed, they will be resurrected from the soul pool. The few Xianyuan Guards who were cursing just now should have been killed. of.
Turning Xianyuan City into a secret realm and allowing Jiuzhou monks to practice in it is also a way for the Xianyuan Guards to maintain their own sanity, because most of the time they are asleep in the soul pool. If they sleep for too long, even if they have souls, If the pool nourishes, there may also be problems with the mind. Let the monks enter this place to experience and add vitality to Xianyuan City. The Xianyuan Guards can maintain their sanity for a longer period of time.
In the past, there were occasional Zerg invasions in Xianyuan City, but since the Jiuzhou monks captured the Zerg Great Secret Realm, the Zerg have disappeared. Now the only way is to let the Jiuzhou monks come in to practice this method.
Lu Ye naturally looked down upon such a level of experience. He had worked so hard here to hone his skills, but now he looked at it like a child playing house.
Beside the soul pool, Zhang Zishan looked at Li Shang: "I dare to ask my friend, what kind of race is the soul clan?"
Li Shang smiled slightly and did not explain. He slightly activated his own power. Visibly to the naked eye, Li Shang's figure became illusory.
However, Zhang Zishan's expression became extremely shocked, because with the stimulation of Li Shang's power, he realized that the nature of the woman in front of him seemed to be similar to that of himself and the Xianyuan Guards.
Li Shang then spoke: "Strictly speaking, you can be considered a soul clan, but you are not born as a soul clan, but are derived from losing your physical body. Fundamentally, you are slightly different from the real soul clan, but your nature There’s not much difference.”
Lu Ye's expression perked up slightly. Although he had always suspected this, it was still difficult to be sure until Li Shang confirmed it. Now with Li Shang's words, the big stone hanging in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Then he said: "Senior, I brought Fellow Daoist Li Shang here just to ask her to find a way out for you. Now that the crisis in Kyushu itself has been lifted, and the Zerg secret realm has been cleared long ago, the seniors of Xianyuan City cannot I have been trapped in this soul pool."
Zhang Zishan nodded: "You are serious."
The reason why Xianyuan City exists is mainly to guard a gap in the Zerg Great Secret Realm. Now that the crisis in the Zerg Great Secret Realm has been resolved, the significance of the existence of Xianyuan City has been greatly reduced. These Xianyuan Guards cannot be allowed to suppress their strength and accompany them. Let the little guys in the Lingxi Realm play house and just live an ignoble existence.
The sacrifice of the ancestors for righteousness cannot be forgotten, and their contribution to Kyushu should not be ignored. However, how to save them became a worry for Lu Ye until he saw Li Shang at the auction.
Lu Ye turned to look at Li Shang again and saluted solemnly: "Fellow Taoist, please point out a way out of Xianyuan City."
Li Shang pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Zishan: "Can I enter the soul pool and take a look first?"
Zhang Zishan stretched out his hand and signaled: "Please!"
Li Shang ducked into the soul pool.
Yaya also ran to the soul pool and looked around, looking very curious. Then she jumped and was about to jump down. As a result, Lu Ye grabbed her by the collar in mid-air and danced for a while.
After waiting for a moment, Li Shang emerged from the soul pool and said, "You have been able to survive for so many years. It seems that firstly, you rely on the nourishment of the soul-washing water in the soul pool, and secondly, you leave your soul marks in the soul pool. , so as long as the soul pool does not dry up, it will be immortal!"
Zhang Zishan nodded: "Taoist friends have good eyesight. This is indeed true. When our world was robbed, we also thought of many ways to find this way."
Li Shang looked sad: "Immortality sounds good, but it may not be really good. Moreover, all of this depends on the soul pool. If this soul pool dries up one day, then all of you will die together. Furthermore, Because of the limitations of the soul pool, your cultivation cannot grow and will always stay at the moment you were alive."
Lu Ye heard this and asked, "Is there any solution?"
Li Shang saw so many things and said so much, so he must have some clues.
Li Shang said: "There is only one solution. Let me take them to the ancestral land of the Soul Clan. Only there can they be transformed into the real Soul Clan and get rid of this shackles."
The ancestral land of the Soul Clan is a mystery in the entire starry sky. It is impossible for ordinary people to find it, let alone enter it. These monks in Xianyuan City can barely be regarded as the Soul Clan, and they have an agreement with Lu Ye in advance. , so Li Shang thought of this method, otherwise she would never be able to bring outsiders to the ancestral land of the Soul Clan.
Lu Ye bowed deeply: "I also ask fellow Taoists to lend a helping hand. No matter what the cost, everyone in this world is willing to accept it!"
Li Shang shook his head and said: "You saved me from the sea of misery. I have no way to repay you. They are my tribe for the time being. It is my duty to save them. There is no problem in taking them to the ancestral land, but there is a problem at the moment."
Zhang Zishan looked solemn and said, "I would like to ask my fellow Taoist to speak."
Li Shang said: "You left your soul marks in this soul pool, so unless the entire soul pool is taken away, I have to take you away with me."
Lu Ye asked: "Can't the soul seal be peeled off?"
Li Shang said: "It is not difficult to peel them off, but after peeling them off, they are like trees without roots and water without sources, and they cannot survive in the world for a long time."
