Chapter 442 The Path You Decide

When Li came back to his senses, all the people and demons around him had knelt down.

They bowed their bodies and put their foreheads to the ground to welcome the new owner of Yuetai Villa.

"No... you don't have to..." Li Bian returned to his original appearance, trying to get everyone to stand up, but in the middle of speaking, he collapsed weakly.

Xue Qing, with quick eyes and quick hands, rushed over to help her immediately.

"are you OK?"

At this time, Li's body was burning hot. If you look closely, you can see countless tiny cracks on his skin, and blood seeps out little by little. The appearance is really shocking.

"The sequelae of this technique are a bit serious, but they are all minor injuries, so it's okay." Li's tone was a little weak, and she took two breaths before standing up straight again, "Thank you."

Going beyond ordinary limits means breaking through the comfort zone, and physical injuries are inevitable. Just like when ordinary people are exercising, if they suddenly experience an intensity that they have never experienced in the past, it will inevitably lead to soreness. This technique affects not only the muscles, but also the heart, lungs, organs, brain and nerves, so the risk is naturally much greater.

But it's not all bad. Each breakthrough brings new adaptability, and the healed body will be stronger and more durable than the last time. It's hard to say whether the alchemist can bear it. The demon's most powerful asset is its better physical fitness and self-healing ability. Now it seems that as long as she doesn't die on the spot, this is a new technique that naturally suits her.

Zhenshu and Kanshu were no longer opposed to each other in her consciousness, but had formed some kind of connection.

What the sudden growth of the tail means is unknown, but she is vaguely aware that it may be related to this knowledge.

Suppressing these distracting thoughts for the time being, Li looked at everyone again and said, "You all should get up. I don't need your kneeling and obedience."

After hearing this, the residents of the villa were a little confused for a moment, but they slowly stood up.

"Aqi!" At this time, Wu Lie rushed into the crowd and hugged a thin girl.

"……elder brother?"

"It's me, just be fine..."

"When the elder brother picked up the scholar, he also let me out." The little girl said crisply.

Seeing this scene, Li suddenly remembered that there was another person, "Where is the other fox demon?"

"She's dead." Kong Xuanzi, who came over, pointed to the side of the open space - he saw a long trail of blood trailing on the ground, and at the end of the blood trail was Youlan, who was clutching her neck. The direction she crawled in the end was facing the entrance of the Yangxin Hall. "She may have wanted to seek help from us, but it was too chaotic and she couldn't hold on until we found her."

"Really... That's fine." Li sighed softly and walked slowly towards the crowd, "Qiongqi and Youlan are both dead, and no one will control your every move here. Of course, neither will the villa. Who will protect it again?”

"Aren't you going to live here?"

"Then what should we do?"

There was a flurry of murmurs in the crowd.

"As I said before, the villa is not a shelter, but the demons have nowhere to go. Just a few hundred miles away from here, there is a city called Jinxia. There is no interference from the Privy Council, and demons are also accepted there. After settling down, there are now tens of thousands of demons living in the city, which is far more prosperous than here."

"Ten, tens of thousands?"

This news caused everyone to be in an uproar.

There are only a handful of demons, and even fewer can survive to adulthood. There are tens of thousands of demons in a city, which is really unimaginable based on their knowledge.

"I can take you there, and I can also teach you how to live next, but I can't live for you." Li endured the pain like needles all over his body and said with an unchanging expression, "The one who made the decision is It depends on you how you live in the future. I know you have many questions and worries in your heart, and you are afraid of being deceived again, but as long as you are willing to take this step, I guarantee that your life will be much better than in the villa. ”

"I'll go with you." As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Lie stood up and said, "I want to believe you."

"elder brother?"

"Don't worry, I feel Master Li is not an ordinary monster."

"Please take me to Jinxia." A rabbit demon bravely said, "I don't want to stay in the villa anymore."

"Me, me too."

Gradually, more and more people are speaking out.

"Master Fox Demon...can ordinary people like us go?" someone asked.

"The reason why you live in the villa is because you have an unusual relationship with some monsters, right?" Li has noticed that Wu Lie's sister is just an ordinary person. "Of course I will not break up everyone, as long as you abide by Jin Xia's rules Jinxia will not reject anyone if she follows the rules.”

In the end, except for a dozen people who were unwilling to leave the villa, everyone else chose to move to Jinxia City with Li.

Considering that it would take a whole day to bring so many people down the mountain, Li decided to let everyone rest for a day, pack the things they wanted to take away, and set off early tomorrow morning.

At the same time, she sent Wu Lie to find the caravan leader with a personal letter and asked the latter to be ready to respond.

And this rest also allowed the four of them to discover many things hidden in the dark.

For example, a tree cave filled with bones.

Judging from the scattered relics, some of these corpses came from the residents of the villa, and some were villagers who went into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine. From the rabbit demon's mouth, we learned that the residents of the villa do disappear occasionally, especially young men. Their whereabouts are often unknown after being recruited by Youlan. Although everyone had guesses, no one dared to question it. After all, Youlan and Qiongqi have a close relationship, and their status is far higher than that of ordinary people.

There is also a strange place on the top of the ancient tree. It is about fifteen or sixteen feet square, similar to a small terrace. A bronze tripod is placed in the center of the platform, and skull brackets are inserted on the four corners, which makes people think of the place of sacrifice. However, the bronze tripod has been broken. It is suspected that when Li performed the thunder of shock magic, this place happened to attract a thunderbolt.

When searching the tiger monster's residence thoroughly, Shanhui also found a strange black book. There are strange words recorded in the book, which are difficult to distinguish, and a dark stone door is painted on the cover.

Thinking of what Qiongqi once said, "The situation is different now", Li felt a sense of worry in his heart.

After one night, the team of more than 100 people finally set off.

The way down the mountain was very smooth. By the evening, the group finally left the Baiyao Mountain area.

Mu Youhong also arrived as promised.

He not only brought dry food and clean water, but also dragged a car of tents and set up camp directly in the suburbs. It must be said that this helped Li a lot. If so many people entered the city together, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the guards. Therefore, before returning to Jinxia, ​​they could only sleep in the wild, and the tents that were rainproof and insect-proof would undoubtedly allow everyone to sleep well.

That night, Mu Youhong brought the head of the caravan to Li and handed her a waist badge.

"Mr. Mu... what does this mean?" Li was stunned.

Mu Youhong bowed solemnly and said, "Lord Linghu, I want to give this Baekje caravan to you."
