Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 258 Uninvited Guest

"Yu people?"

Li Rui's mind raced, and in an instant, he figured out why the monsters had been heading north to Yu State during this period of time.

'So who is that person?'

He grasped the key to solving the abnormal movement of the monsters.

That is to find the man from Yu and hand him over to appease the demon lord's anger.

Monsters are different from humans.

The hierarchy is extremely strict, and the Demon Lord's status in the hearts of monsters is even higher than that of the Emperor. Just one word from him can make monsters act instinctively.

The kind that is not afraid of death at all.

If it were possible for the monsters to form formations like human armies, their power would definitely be much stronger than that of an army.

"Brother Li?"

Tan Hu looked at Li Rui who was in a daze and called out.

The other soldiers also looked at Li Rui.

They didn't understand the demon language, so naturally they didn't know what Li Rui heard.

Li Rui came back to his senses and called out to his men around him: "Clean up the battlefield and continue patrolling."

Search the mountain overnight.

By the time Li Rui and his party stepped onto the official road, it was already bright.

Almost half of the people were carrying the corpses of monsters, and they had achieved great results in the battle.

These are all military achievements.

Moreover, the monster itself can be used as medicine, so it can be said that it is full of treasures.

When the An Ning Wei soldiers in the checkpoint saw Li Rui and his group returning, they were so envious that their mouths were watering. They wished they were the ones carrying the corpse of the monster.

"Master Li, are you back?"

General Wang, who heard the noise, was the first to come out.

Seeing Li Rui's battle record, I secretly admire him.

He has been guarding the pass for more than ten years, and the creatures he deals with most often are not humans, but monsters, so he understands how difficult it is to deal with monsters.

Li Rui had only been there for one night, but he had already killed so many monsters, which showed his ability.

"Lord Wang."

Li Rui smiled and looked around, but found that Jiang Linxian was nowhere to be seen, so he asked, "Why can't I see Lord Jiang?"

General Wang explained: "Lord Jiang said he was going out to take a look, and then he left the city."

This is in line with Jiang Linxian's style of being a mysterious dragon that is hard to find.

Although he is the chief officer of the army, Jiang Linxian doesn't actually lead troops and prefers to act alone most of the time.

This is the pride of the strong.

Of course, the main reason is that the gap in strength is too big. It is useless to bring ordinary soldiers. It is more convenient to act alone.

With Jiang Linxian's strength, Li Rui doesn't need to worry.

After he gave instructions to Tan Hu, he chatted with General Wang for a while and then returned to the room prepared at the checkpoint.

The city is about a thousand feet square, not very big.

It is a luxury to have a house with only one entrance.

Of course, the two best rooms were reserved for General Wang and Jiang Linxian, but they were enough for Li Rui.

Li Rui sat cross-legged on the bed.

Close your eyes and start breathing.

The lessons missed last night must be made up.

In the blink of an eye, the sun and the moon change.

Li Rui, who had his eyes closed and breathing evenly, opened his eyes.

"Someone!"

Outside the house, there were extremely light footsteps.

"He's a master."

The footsteps were extremely light, almost making no sound, but Li Rui's five senses were far superior to those of ordinary people, so he was able to hear them and wake up from his dream.

Li Rui slowly climbed up from the bed.

This is the border town of the State of Yu. Which thief would dare to commit a crime in the dark in the middle of the night? How brave is he?
Just as the person outside the door used his true energy to push open the bolt——

Li Rui's right hand suddenly reached out towards the person at the door like an eagle's claw.

Just when his palm had accurately touched the man's neck and could crush his throat with just a little force.

Of course, when he saw the face of the person at the door clearly, he loosened his grip.

"Miss Xia?"

Li Rui's eyes widened.

He never imagined that the person who sneaked into his room was the young man from Wu Country, Xia Xiaotang.

'Isn't she confined by the Great Wizard?'

Xia Xiaotang was also frightened by Li Rui's fierce attack just now.

But soon excitement flashed in his big eyes.

'Master Beast God has become stronger again. Could it be that the Divine Soul Pill I gave him awakened Master Beast God?
"Master Beast God, I finally see you."

Xia Xiaotang's long eyelashes fluttered, and her face was full of admiration.

Li Rui had a strange expression on his face: "Miss Xia, you are under house arrest, why are you here?"

Xia Xiaotang: "I heard that Lord Beast God is here, so I came here specially."

"."

Li Rui: "Why didn't Miss Xia go through the front door?"

Xia Xiaotang blushed a little: "I actually sneaked out. If anyone knew, I would definitely be caught by the witch."

"Don't talk about this."

"Master Beast God, can the Soul Pill help you awaken your memories of your past life?"

She had sneaked all the way from the Wu Kingdom's imperial city to come here just to ask this question.

When talking about the Soul Pill, Li Rui's face turned red.

I feel guilty as if I were trying to trick a little girl into giving me candy.

His expression straightened up, and he decided not to hide it anymore: "Miss Xia, there is something I need to tell you. I am not the reincarnation of a beast god, and I don't have any memory of my past life."

Xia Xiaotang was stunned.

"Not the Beast God?"

Then a puzzled look appeared on his face: "But if it's not the Beast God, how can I..."

Halfway through his speech, Xia Xiaotang frowned and began to think.

Recall the scene in Qinghe.

The reason why she believed that Li Rui was the reincarnation of the Beast God was because her companion beast, the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast, felt a supreme and trembling aura from Li Rui. No one could have this aura except the legendary Beast God.

This made her so sure.

Xia Xiaotang is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been accepted as a disciple by the great wizard.

On the contrary, she is very smart.

He looked at Li Rui again, with a bit more vigilance in his eyes, and took half a step back.

See this scene.

Li Rui was already prepared.

Since he dared to tell Xia Xiaotang the truth today, he must have made sufficient preparations long ago. Did he really think that he had no measures to deal with the reincarnation of the Beast God during the time when Xia Xiaotang was under house arrest?
Li Rui doesn't have the habit of acting on impulse.

Everything we do is planned for a long time.

I had originally planned to wait until Xia Xiaotang came to Qinghe before telling her, but now that we've met, I don't plan to continue lying.

"wrong."

"wrong."

Xia Xiaotang muttered to himself softly and said "that's not right" twice.

Just as Li Rui was quietly waiting for the outcome of Xia Xiaotang's struggle between heaven and man.

Xia Xiaotang raised her head suddenly.

'He is a true genius!'

The Beast God is a demon that became an immortal, but before becoming a demon immortal, it was just an ordinary demon beast. It became an immortal after practicing step by step.

Once you become a god, there will be no difference between humans and monsters.

If Li Rui is not the Beast God, then there is only one reason why the companion beast, the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast, can tremble - this person has the potential to be the Beast God!

As a disciple of a great wizard, she had seen geniuses before.

But even the Great Wizard himself did not have such a terrifying aura as Li Rui.

'Although he is not the reincarnation of the beast god, he has extraordinary talent and may be able to become an immortal.'

"It's a good idea to make friends with him."

Xia Xiaotang made up his mind.

She was very confident about this. Everyone in Beijing knew that Xia Xiaotang had many friends.

Li Rui then spoke up: "Miss Xia, I know that the Soul Pill is extremely precious. I will do my best to repay you in the future."

The words have not yet fallen.

Then Xia Xiaotang waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's just a pill, just eat it."

While doing the actions, he was secretly proud of himself.

"The Great Witch said that when making friends, the first thing you should do is not be stingy."

Li Rui was stunned. That was the Soul Pill. If he said he didn't want it, he didn't want it. Even a great witch wouldn't be so generous. He couldn't help but reiterate: "Miss Xia, I'm really not a beast god."

Xia Xiaotang smiled brightly: "I know, the Great Witch told me to be generous to my friends. From now on, we are friends!"

'friend.'

Li Rui looked strange.

I wonder what the great wizard would think if he knew that his disciple gave the Soul Pill to make friends.

"Let's just be friends regardless of age."

Who says you should be grateful for what you have received?

Xia Xiaotang changed the subject:

"Senior Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Rui: "Miss Xia, haven't you heard about the monster tide?"

Xia Xiaotang thought for a while, then nodded: "I heard from the Great Witch a few days ago that it was the old dragon in the Shiwan Mountain who did the bad things."

"Old dragon?"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had also heard of the old dragon.

"There is an evil dragon in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the smell of blood is heard outside the town of a hundred miles away."

This old dragon has a great reputation in the Yunzhou martial arts world. As a dragon in the Earthly Immortal Realm, he is very powerful and is the overlord of an area within a thousand miles. Many monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains obey the old dragon's orders.

No wonder the demon tide is so powerful.

Xia Xiaotang: "It will be a bit tricky to deal with that old dragon."

Li Rui: "Thank you Miss Xia for telling me."

"Just call me Xiaotang."

"okay."

Of course, Li Rui couldn't deal with the old dragon, but since he already understood the whole story, there was at least a possibility of resolving the problem.

'So who is that person?'

Li Rui looked at Xia Xiaotang seriously:

"Xiaotang, I need you to do me a favor."

Wu Kingdom, the imperial city.

Black Crystal Palace.

"Great Wizard, Xia Xiaotang has left the Imperial City and is now at Yugu Pass."

A man in animal robes said.

"okay."

An old voice came from deep within the palace.

The great wizard sat quietly on the stone platform.

Xia Xiaotang thought she had done it without anyone noticing, but in fact everything was under the control of her great wizard master. The reason she was able to leave the imperial city was all due to the great wizard's handiwork.

Li Rui.

Feeling in love?

The Great Witch naturally didn't believe what Xia Xiaotang said.

People have been sent to secretly investigate Li Rui. How could Xia Xiaotang fall in love with him when he is nearly eighty years old?

He understood his apprentice.

There must be a reason for sending the Soul Pill away.

Xia Xiaotang is not the kind of person who does not know the seriousness of the matter and is easily deceived. There must be a reason for this. Moreover, his companion beast is the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast. In addition to being able to see through illusions, it also has great blessings.

He just wanted to see what kind of person could make his disciple willingly give up the Soul Pill and even help hide it from outsiders from him, the master.

of course.

If he was really deceived, he wouldn't mind taking it back.

How to collect it?
Just refine it again.

A trace of melancholy appeared on the face of the great witch, which was as bark as an ancient tree:
"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up."

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Li Rui looked at the palm-sized, furry, puppy-like animal in Xia Xiaotang's hand.

"Is this the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast?"

Xia Xiaotang nodded:
so small?
Li Rui couldn't help but become more curious.

In terms of bloodline, the Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast is almost equivalent to a king among all the monsters in the world.

At this moment, a surprising scene appeared.

The little beast jumped down from Xia Xiaotang's palm, and the moment it touched the ground, it swelled up in the wind, and soon it grew to a height of ten feet.

Cute puppy?

A peerless ferocious beast!

The domineering aura made Li Rui's breathing pause.

Xia Xiaotang patted the belly of the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast proudly and said, "Xiaoqing, it's up to you from now on."

Done.

She and Li Rui went into the distant woods and hid there.

The golden-eyed beast in the green water roared towards the sky, like a lion or a tiger, mighty and solemn.

"Can you really come?"

Li Rui looked at Xia Xiaotang curiously.

What he asked Xia Xiaotang to do was to lure the little dragon out.

It's not that I have any bad intentions, I just simply want to know the whole story. No one knows what happened better than that little dragon.

Instead of overthinking, it’s better to ask the person directly.

Xia Xiaotang was a disciple of the Great Wizard and had many connections, so he decided to try his luck. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaotang actually patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem.

Now we can see that Xia Xiaotang's confidence all comes from her companion beast.

"Don't worry, senior. Xiaoqing is from the royal family of the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast. She is higher than that little Jiao and we have some friendship."

Li Rui raised his brows slightly.

The Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast is already amazing, but if you add the word "royal" to it, it will be even more extraordinary.

According to Dao Mo.

There is a demon beast overlord in the southern part of the Wu Kingdom, which is the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast.

It seems that Xia Xiaotang's companion beast Xiaoqing should be the offspring of the blue water and golden eyed king beast.

'This background is really scary.'

The master is a great wizard, and the father of the companion beast is the demon lord. They are simply the ones who can do whatever they want in the wizard country.

Xia Xiaotang did not tell Li Rui.

In fact, it was because of chance that she and Xiaoqing had been together for half her life that she was valued by the Great Witch.

It's not because he was born into a royal family and received special care.

She wasn't actually lying.

He is really just an inconspicuous branch of the Wu Kingdom’s royal family.

There are actually countless such people in the Wu Kingdom.

The Witch King has existed for thousands of years, and 30% of the Witch people can say that their ancestors have royal blood. This is not a rare thing.

An hour.

"Could it be that the little dragon went out?"

Xia Xiaotang looked at the quiet forest and felt nervous.

I was so confident just now.

Just when she didn't believe in herself.

A shadow fell across the sky.

A three-meter-long dragon with white scales and wings appeared in front of the Green Water Golden-Eyed Beast.

Roar!
A thunder-like sound exploded in the little dragon's mouth.

"coming!"

Li Rui and Xia Xiaotang immediately perked up.

The Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast started chatting with each other.

Xia Xiaotang glanced secretly at Li Rui beside her.

I was secretly surprised.

'He actually understood it.'

She could understand it because she had a high degree of compatibility with her companion beast, the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast, and the bloodline of the companion beast was also domineering enough.

In such a large witch country, there are actually very few people who can communicate with monsters.

"How did he do that when he clearly didn't have a companion beast?"

"As expected of someone who possesses the talent of a beast god!"

Li Rui, who was standing by, was listening carefully to the conversation between the two beasts and did not notice Xia Xiaotang's look.

soon.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

A name comes to mind.

Duan Yu!
