After the Skyfall

Chapter 658 Immortality

Although the Northern Wilderness warriors were driven away, everyone understood through this incident that Lord Shang Xiuxiang had encountered unimaginable danger, otherwise he would not have been unable to protect his own home.

"Dayi, thank you for your help. Because of you, we were able to avoid this disaster." At this time, the servants, guards, and guests of the Xiuxiang family gathered together. They came to Li Yi and expressed their sincere gratitude.

Li Yi said, "Something happened to Shangzhu Xiuxiang. Although I don't know what crime he committed, it is definitely a dangerous situation. I need to find someone to inquire about the cause of this incident, so I won't be able to take care of you for the next period of time. You'd better take this opportunity to temporarily leave Beihuang City and hide, and then return after Xiuxiang returns safely."

"If it doesn't work, just run for your lives. If Xiu Xiang asks about it later, just say it was my idea."

He looked at the men and gave his advice.

"Dayi, you can help my master. We have no way to repay such a kindness, but please rest assured, we will never drag you down, nor will we cause trouble to my master."

A retainer assured with a solemn oath.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised the big knife in his hand and chopped at the person next to him.

In just a few seconds, several beauties and servants were beheaded and died on the spot.

The retainer then raised the bloodstained sword and said, "The master humiliates the slave to death. We can't do anything for the master, but we can't let the master and the guests worry about our humble lives. Rather than living with shame, it is better for us to sacrifice our lives now."

As he said this, he swung his knife at the other people again.

The others were filled with grief and indignation when they saw this. They did not dodge or evade, but allowed this loyal retainer to chop off their heads.

The other guards also thought this made sense and started to kill the people around them.

In just a moment, almost all the people from Xiuxiang's family were killed. Then the guards cut off their heads and sacrificed their lives, unwilling to become a burden.

soon.

The Xiangxiu family had become a ruin, with only dozens of corpses left, and no one was alive.

Li Yi's eyes showed a complicated expression when he saw this, but he did not stop them because he respected these people's choices. Dying for the Lord might be the best choice for them at the moment.

Eji and Suji looked at the corpses all over the ground with some sadness in their eyes, because several of the beautiful girls had once been their friends and several servants had also taken care of them.

But now they have become cold corpses.

Li Yi did not express too much emotion. He just opened his mouth and circulated the energy of his heart fire, which turned into a raging fire that swept across the entire place, completely burning the corpses to ashes and dissipated into dust.

The person is already dead, and the body cannot be left here to rot, so cremation is the best option.

As for Xiuxiang's damaged house, Li Yi once again used his house-building skills to restore it to its original state. This was a piece of cake.

Although the house was empty, at least some of Xiu Xiang's property was saved, which might become the capital for his comeback in the future.

"Let's go back to our place first." Li Yi said afterwards.

The remaining few people nodded and followed Li Yi away.

Soon, they arrived at their new home.

Although it is not very far away, there is an obvious feeling that this place is out of tune with Beihuang City. The architectural style and layout here appear to be exquisite and practical, and even contain some of the geographical momentum of mountains and rivers.

When Qiuniu saw Li Yi return safely, it ran over, and its huge body caused the ground to shake slightly.

"The offspring of a real dragon, this is a dragon seed." The high priest Dou Kun nodded slightly, acknowledging the potential of Qiuniu.

Li Yi said at this moment: "High Priest, everything in the house is handed over to you. I am going to try to save Xiu Xiang. Although I have been friends with him for a short time, I have received his kindness, and now it is time to repay him."

"Lord, please rest assured, I will take good care of everything here." The high priest Dou Kun said solemnly at this moment.

Li Yi nodded, then left some red gold to Dou Kun and asked him to be responsible for the expenses. After all, it would be impossible to support so many people without money.

"Lord, where are you going? Do you need me to go with you?" At this moment, Shanguo walked over and said, "Although I can't help you a lot, I can do some small things for you."

Li Yi said: "Long Yu is injured and unconscious, you stay here to take care of him, E Ji and Su Ji are not even soldiers, they can't do many jobs, I can go out alone, if there is any danger, Qiuniu will take care of it."

"If even Qiuniu can't protect this house, then you should run for your lives instead of committing suicide for me."

After explaining some things, he strode away.

Shanguo looked at the direction where Li Yi left, and a hint of worry inexplicably appeared in his eyes.

The high priest Dou Kun said, "We must believe in our Lord. He is a powerful divine warrior. He can overcome any danger and difficulty. This is something he must go through in order to grow. In the future, he will definitely become a god."

"Yes, the Lord is a god of the future. No danger or difficulty can defeat him." Eji and Suji nodded in agreement, firmly believing what the high priest said.

When Shanguo saw this, the worry in his heart gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a firm belief.

Dayi might be the last descendant of the gods guarded by the ancestors in this world. It is absolutely impossible for him to encounter any misfortune before he becomes a god.

Li Yi walked out of the house, still racking his brains over how to save Xiu Xiang.

He was unfamiliar with the place and was completely in the dark. He had originally thought of staying quietly at Xiu Xiang's house, eating and drinking, and spending his transformation period in peace, but he didn't expect to encounter something like this. "Go find that woman Heng, maybe she has a solution."

Li Yi thought about it and decided that only this person could help him.

soon.

He found Nüheng's residence.

This is a huge and exquisite house with various wild flowers planted in it. The house is also inlaid with many jewels. Although it looks colorful and not beautiful, in this simple and wild world, colors represent wealth and nobility.

"I'm Dayi, and I want to meet your master Nv Heng. I hope you can let her know." Li Yi said to the two guards at the gate.

The two guards knew Li Yi because they were present when Li Yi bought the house. They immediately said, "Honorable God Blood Warrior, please wait a moment. I will inform my lord about your visit."

Li Yi nodded.

A moment later, a young and beautiful woman came out to greet them: "Dear guest, my mistress Heng invites you."

It seems that Nuheng did not reject Li Yi's visit.

soon.

Li Yi followed the maid's lead and came to a garden full of wild flowers.

There is a small house in the middle of the garden. The merchant lady Nv Heng is sitting in the house at the moment, having prepared fine wine, exotic fruits and meat of exotic animals to welcome the distinguished guests who will be arriving soon.

"Master, the distinguished guest is here." Meiji, who was leading the way, said respectfully.

After hearing this, Nv Heng stood up and said with a smile: "Da Yi, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. Please take a seat and taste the fine wine I prepared for you. This fine wine was brewed by the exotic beast Zhu Yan in the mountains from the exotic fruits collected from all over the mountain. A jar of it is worth a hundred gold coins and is a rare treasure."

Li Yi smelled the tempting aroma of wine, and without hesitation, he picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp, not afraid of being poisoned.

Afterwards, he felt a surge of energy emanating from his abdomen to all parts of his body. His soul felt extremely transcendent at this moment. All the pores on his body opened up and a strange fragrance emanated from it.

Nu Heng smelled the strange fragrance emanating from Li Yi and felt a little surprised.

You know, after other people drink, they all emit a foul odor. Even she was like this at the beginning. It was only after she drank a glass of wine every day that the foul odor dissipated, and finally she had the fragrance of flowers.

"Dayi, you are different from other divine blood warriors. You are unique." Nu Heng then said with a smile.

Li Yi put down the wine glass and did not answer. Instead, he said, "Shangzhu, you are a wise woman. You should know why I am visiting you this time."

Nv Heng said, "Xiu Xiang killed another merchant in Beihuang City. He violated the ban of Beihuang City. The city lord personally gave the order to let the Beihuang warriors arrest him. Even the slaves in his family, Meiji, were to be executed."

"Fortunately, Xiu Xiang's wife and children are not in Beihuang City. After all, as a busy merchant, he would not have only one place to live."

Li Yi said: "I don't care what Xiu Xiang did, I only care whether I can save his life."

Nv Heng said: "Da Yi, even if you are a divine blood warrior, this is difficult to do, and as a merchant, I don't want to help you fight against a lord."

"I didn't ask you to help me deal with Fangzhu. It's enough for Shangzhu to leave Beihuang City alive." Li Yi said, "I believe you can do this."

"If you want to save Xiu Xiang, you have to pay a price. I wonder how much you can pay, Dayi." Nu Heng poured another glass of wine for Li Yi.

Beneath the amber wine, there is a mist rising and the fragrance is everywhere.

Li Yi looked down, raised his glass and said, "As I said before, the most precious thing in the world is life. If you are willing to help me, I can teach you the secret of immortality."

The method of immortality he was talking about was the method of cultivating immortals.

If Nuheng could cultivate to the point of becoming an immortal, she would naturally be able to live forever.

Immortality?

As soon as these words were spoken, even the usually calm Nu Heng suddenly showed a look of shock.

In the wild world, only one god can be immortal. No matter how strong the other warriors are, they will die one day.

As a merchant, she had neither the potential to become a god nor a powerful warrior. Death had been waiting for her one day.

Now, after hearing the secret of immortality from Dayi's mouth, she was at a loss for a moment.

"The secret to immortality? Dayi, are you telling the truth?" However, after calming down a little, Nu Heng immediately doubted the authenticity of the words.

Li Yi didn't say anything, but took out something similar to a compass from the Five Elements Bracelet.

"This is a longevity plate. It can test the length of your life. If you don't believe it, why don't you try it yourself?"

Speaking of this longevity plate, it is a rare item found all over the world.

Although it has no other function besides detecting lifespan, it is still worth collecting.
