Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"You... never mind, let's get some rest first!"

Seeing that her face was still as pale as paper, Li Moxuan gave up asking questions and decided to wait until she recovered before saying anything. "You should get some sleep first. I'll have someone bring you some food later!"

His actions deepened Su Xuanwei's guilt, and she hurriedly called out to Li Moxuan, "Big brother, I'm sorry..."

Li Moxuan thought she was saying she hadn't been of much help in the battle, so he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you're much more capable than I imagined..."

He wasn't trying to comfort Su Xuanwei; in Li Moxuan's eyes, her guardian angel was indeed very powerful...

Su Xuanwei thought he was trying to comfort her, and shook her head, "Big brother... I mean I'm sorry, I lied to you..."

Chapter 311: Searching for My Brother

Did I deceive myself?

Could those two guys be her accomplices? But judging from their ruthlessness, they don't seem like accomplices. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of them double-crossing her...

Li Moxuan pulled up a chair and sat down, asking in a calm tone, "What did you lie to me about?"

Su Xuanwei sat on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "My purpose in going to the Tower of Ascension was not for my guardian deity, but to find my brother..."

"Your brother?"

Li Moxuan was stunned for a moment. That's it?

To be honest, he didn't care about Su Xuanwei's purpose in going to the Tower of Gods; it was just something he happened to be doing...

"Um……"

A flash of memories crossed Su Xuanwei's eyes as he began to recount the past: "Our parents were also Su Shen people, but they died in an accident when I was very young!"

“Since then, my brother has raised me all by himself. He was quite young at the time, and he suffered a lot to support me…”

Su Xuanwei took a deep breath, "Fortunately, by a stroke of luck, my elder brother later became a Deity of the Underworld!"

"By slaying monsters and exchanging spiritual radiance for money in the human realm within the Great Thousand God Realm, life has finally improved a bit..."

Li Moxuan found it increasingly strange. Wasn't this the childhood story of Cao Yanbing and his brothers that Lu Shuyu had written? He didn't interrupt and continued listening to Su Xuanwei recount the past...

“My elder brother treats me very well and indulges me in everything, but after discovering that I also possess a divine physique, he firmly opposes me going into the Great Thousand God Realm with him.”

“I asked him why, and he always said that the Great Thousand God Realm was far more cruel and dark than I imagined, and he didn’t want me to get involved…”

"I had no choice but to agree to his request on the surface, while secretly starting to try cultivating. However, because I couldn't communicate with the guardian deity, my cultivation progress was extremely slow..."

Su Xuanwei lowered his gaze. "This wonderful life came to an end one night five years ago when a friend of my brother came to my house and said a few words to my brother."

"I was hiding in the shadows, and it was the first time I'd ever seen my brother so angry. He found me and told me to stay home and wait for him to come back. He said he had some errands to run and would be back soon..."

"But I waited until dawn and he still didn't come back. I thought he had encountered some trouble and would be back later, so I kept waiting, but he never came back."

"Time passed day by day. I tried to enter the Great Thousand God Realm to find my brother, but I was frightened by demons as soon as I entered and ran back..."

"Later, the money my brother left behind ran out, and after we couldn't pay the rent, the landlord showed his true colors and prepared to use me to pay off the debt!"

At this point, Su Xuanwei's hands trembled slightly as he slowly said, "I escaped while he wasn't paying attention, and he chased after me. I had no choice but to hide in the Great Thousand Divine Realm."

"Fortunately, he is not a Deity of the Sealing God and cannot enter the Great Thousand God Realm alone. Even if he accidentally enters, he would easily be torn to pieces by the demons that sense his presence."

"Later, I remembered my brother's teachings, so I made myself dirty and disheveled to avoid attracting the attention of evil people..."

"I use the self-defense skills my brother taught me to kill low-level monsters and obtain a small amount of spiritual energy to exchange for money to survive."

"Five years passed like this. One day, exhausted, I stumbled into the territory of a world-forging level monster, and that's when I met you..."

After hearing her story, Li Moxuan fell into deep thought. She really resembled Cao Yanbing, except that Cao Yanbing's parents were gone and never returned, while her brother was gone and never returned.

Moreover, she was in a worse situation than Cao Yanbing, having to seek hope for survival all alone in the Great Thousand God Realm, while Cao Yanbing at least had his younger brother Cao Xuanliang and his guardian spirit by his side...

They're all people with tragic fates!

Li Moxuan sighed, then asked with some curiosity, "What's your brother's name?"

"Ji Haoxuan..."

Surname Ji?

Li Moxuan subconsciously tried to think of any deity with the surname Ji, but he quickly realized that the choice of guardian deities in the Great Thousand God Realm had nothing to do with bloodline...

"His surname is Ji, and yours is Su... Aren't you siblings?"

"They are siblings, but our parents have discussed it and decided that if they have children in the future, the older one will take the father's surname and the younger one will take the mother's surname..."

After a pause, Su Xuanwei apologized with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you..."

"Alright, that's enough..."

Li Moxuan got up, took out a small bag of gold coins and placed it on the bedside table. Su Xuanwei's face darkened. Was he trying to get rid of her?

"You did a good job as a guide. This is your advance payment, and... there's also compensation for your work injury..."

"Salary...salary?"

Su Xuanwei was secretly delighted. Was he being sent away?

"Well, I won't do anything for free. There will definitely be payment for helping me, but don't lie to me next time!"

"Uh-huh!"

Su Xuanwei hurriedly agreed, finally free from the struggle to make a living and with the opportunity to search for his brother...

Li Moxuan walked to the door, glanced back at her, and said, "Get a good rest tonight. We'll continue into the Great Thousand God Realm tomorrow. I'm staying in the next room. You can contact me if you need anything!"

"Um……"

Su Xuan was slightly taken aback as she stared at Li Moxuan's retreating figure. She seemed to see the shadow of her elder brother, Ji Haoxuan, in Li Moxuan...

Su Xuanwei lay back down on the bed, her mind filled with countless thoughts, but she gradually relaxed. She hadn't experienced this reassuring feeling in a long time.

She soon drifted off to sleep, and in her dream she returned to the night five years ago when her brother left...

"Brother Haoxuan, do you know that a very powerful Deity has recently appeared in our area!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Wearing an apron, Ji Haoxuan was cooking in the kitchen when he casually said to Su Xuanwei, who was serving food next to him, "Xiaowei, go out and wipe the table clean. I can handle these things!"

"it is good……"

After sending Su Xuanwei away, Ji Haoxuan's face immediately turned stern. "Old Yao, didn't we agree that you weren't allowed to mention the Great Thousand God Realm in front of my sister?"

"Brother Haoxuan, you can't protect her forever. She is also a Deity of Destiny. Why don't you..."

"Stop!"

Ji Haoxuan sighed, "Old Yao, you know what kind of place the Great Thousand God Realm is. I want Xiaowei to stay pure and innocent, and I don't want her to be corrupted..."

He paused for a moment, then added, "And you said something wrong: I can protect her for the rest of my life!"

"You... never mind..."

The boy, whom he called Old Yao, sighed and was too lazy to persuade him any further. "Brother Haoxuan, I came here today to ask if you are willing to hunt down that very powerful Deity of the Underworld?"

"The Heavenly Court has put a bounty on him. If you can kill him, the spiritual radiance you get will be enough for you two siblings to squander for a lifetime!"

Chapter 312: Gone and Never to Return

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. Old Yao, you should understand this better than I do..."

Ji Haoxuan continued serving himself the food, saying, "Since the bounty from the Heavenly Court is so generous, it means this Deity is extremely dangerous. For an ordinary Deity, going there would be suicide!"

He paused, then continued, "I still need to take care of Xiaowei, I don't want to take that risk..."

“I would believe it if others said that, but your divine status has already reached the ninth realm of creation, and your guardian deity is…”

"Xiaolin!"

Ji Haoxuan's tone turned cold as he turned his head. "You're acting strange today. Why do you keep bringing this up?"

He took a deep breath. "If you still want to freeload, then come help me out. Don't bring this up again; I'm not going..."

"Qingchan has joined the bounty..."

Ji Haoxuan paused, turned around, and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's she going to do? Is she short of money?"

Yao Xiaolin shook his head and reminded him, "Don't forget the original purpose of the spiritual light. Besides, you said that one day you would ascend to godhood and then go to the divine realm to seek revenge on a god..."

"Nonsense!"

Ji Haoxuan slammed his fist heavily on the stove, "You didn't even try to persuade her a little..."

"You two are cut from the same cloth. I couldn't persuade you just now, do you think I can persuade her?"

Yao Xiaolin sighed, "It's said that the guardian deity of this Deity of the Underworld is Hades, the god of the underworld of Olympus. Many Deity of the Underworld have already died. Brother Haoxuan, you..."

"Who do you think his guardian angel is?!"

Ji Haoxuan was taken aback, then turned his head in disbelief. His expression seemed calm, but Yao Xiaolin could sense the anger hidden beneath...

"Brother Haoxuan, the god you're looking for wouldn't be..."

"All right!"

Seemingly having discovered Su Xuanwei eavesdropping outside, Ji Haoxuan took a deep breath and calmed down. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help. We'll leave as soon as we're done!"

"it is good……"

Soon, Ji Haoxuan brought all the heated food to the table, but he didn't sit down to eat. He hurriedly packed his equipment and slung his sword over his shoulder.

Although she was only thirteen years old, Su Xuanwei was not stupid. She had already guessed that her brother was going to the Great Thousand God Realm, but she couldn't help him. She could only tell him, "Brother, be careful!"

"Um……"

Ji Haoxuan patted Su Xuanwei's head. "Xiaowei, you eat first. I probably won't be back until tomorrow. Don't run around before I get back!"

"Alright, brother, I'll wait for you to come back..."

As time passed, Su Xuanwei still hadn't seen his elder brother Ji Haoxuan return, and his companions had also disappeared without a trace...

Su Xuanwei sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the full moon in the sky, tears streaming down her face. "Brother... I miss you so much..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, a knock on the door startled Su Xuanwei awake. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked warily, "Who is it?"
