Chapter 175 Arrived Too Early...
"I originally thought that you were just special because of the Forbidden Ruins, which is why you have such strong defense."
"But now it seems your mental strength is extraordinary..."
"Who are you exactly?"
Upon hearing Zhou Ping's question, a hint of confusion appeared in Jialan's eyes, but she quickly shook her head firmly at Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping remained cautious about unstable factors. He reached out and summoned the black sword case back, indicating that a fight was about to break out at any moment.
Just then, Li Jie grabbed Zhou Ping's arm and gently shook his head.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that this person has no bad intentions."
"Why do you say that?" Zhou Ping was still somewhat skeptical after hearing Li Jie's words.
Seeing his questioning look, Li Jie pondered for a long time and it seemed that there was only one reason that could appease the serious Zhou Ping.
"Let me put it this way, do you believe Lin Qiye?"
After thinking for a while, Zhou Ping nodded upon hearing Li Jie's question.
“In that case, you can trust her.” Li Jie pointed to Jialan, who looked bewildered.
"Because she will be Lin Qiye's wife in the future."
Zhou Ping: Huh? Lin Qiye's wife?
Jialan: (Blushing, looking shy~)
...........
The next morning, after washing up, Li Jie went to Zhou Ping's door and gently knocked.
When Zhou Ping opened the door and saw Li Jie wearing that dark red cloak, he was somewhat surprised and exclaimed.
"What? Going on a mission?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie chuckled and nodded.
"I guess so. I'll be back in a day. I'll leave the training to you today."
"It's not troublesome, but... is the place you're going to dangerous?"
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie gently waved his hand.
"It's not dangerous now. I can go and check it myself. Actually, I just want to make sure. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Zhou Ping didn't insist anymore. He nodded and went back into his room.
As Li Jie walked past Lin Qiye and the others' dormitory, he could still hear their even breathing.
Without hesitation, he walked to the door and gave a soft shout.
"Xiao Jue".
With a flash of sword light, Li Jie had already ridden away on the wind.
...........
Above Lintang City, Li Jie concealed himself in the void, sensing the unusual fluctuations existing within the city.
but.......
He found nothing.
Could it be that because of my appearance, [Muttering] gave up the idea of summoning the God of the Underworld?
It shouldn't be...
That's a complete scoundrel; how could he let such a good opportunity slip by!
Actually, Li Jie arrived early.
Although the 'Ancient God Church' was indeed plotting to summon the God of the Underworld, Shen Qingzhu was unable to successfully infiltrate the enemy ranks as an 'undercover agent' due to Li Jie's presence.
He did know that [Whispers] and [Believers] would take this action, but he had no way of knowing the exact time.
Therefore, he had to return empty-handed this time.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to return to Huaihai City.
This is one of the locations where Lin Qiye and the others will undergo their final trials. If they can advance the trial time slightly, they can definitely prevent that tragedy from happening.
but.......
It's hard to say about Tianhe City...
Although the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor has awakened, he may still be lured away from his mountain stronghold.
Therefore, Li Jie had already made plans before Lin Qiye and the others went to Lintang City.
I'll go to Anta County first to see if it's still the same Fengshen Xiu whose natal artifact I stole, coming to steal the Fengdu fragments...
If so...
Then he can stay here forever!
With this thought in mind, he changed direction and flew towards Huaihai City.
And just after Li Jie left the skies above Lintang City.
A man walking a dog slowly emerged from the void of a cliff overlooking the sea in Lintang City.
"Is this where it is..."
"What a peaceful and tranquil scene..."
..............
Unbeknownst to them, Lin Qiye and the others had been cultivating in the No. 0213 heavy equipment warehouse for more than two months.
In other words, aside from eating, sleeping, and reading novels, they were basically being tortured by Li Jie and Zhou Ping in turns every day.
Although it was somewhat 'inhumane', Lin Qiye and the others visibly grew stronger.
At first, neither of them could last ten minutes against Li Jie and Zhou Ping's mixed doubles.
However, after more than half a month, they have gradually been able to stabilize themselves under Li Jie's sword energy tide.
Even after that, Zhou Ping increased the intensity of his sword energy.
The six little ones were able to hold on for almost half an hour before gradually fainting.
Even the strongest swordsman of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't help but marvel at their rapid growth.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, Li Jie's control over his power also reached a new level.
Gradually, I was able to control it more freely.
Although he couldn't reach the level of the Sword Saint Zhou Ping who could do whatever he wanted, he was much better off than before he came here.
That noon, Li Jie and Zhou Ping were sitting on small stools, engrossed in reading a novel.
Then, Jialan rushed in through the training ground gate, carrying Lin Qiye on his back.
Looking at the figure behind Jialan, he seemed somewhat dazed, muttering something unintelligible.
Seeing this, Zhou Ping frowned and was about to go forward to check the situation, but Li Jie quickly stopped him.
"It's nothing..."
“But… I feel like he’s a little mentally unstable…” Zhou Ping said worriedly upon hearing Li Jie’s voice.
Li Jie, of course, knew what state Lin Qiye was in...
It's probably because they accidentally ingested some high-concentration mental pollution fog.
So he's just a little confused...
However... seeing Jialan's 'excited' gaze, Li Jie really didn't want to disturb the former's 'good thing'.
During the conversation, Jialan had already carried Lin Qiye into the dormitory building.
At this moment, the four little ones who had been watching the commotion slowly peeked out from the warehouse door to check the situation.
"Do you think... Sister Jialan will succeed this time?"
"I think there shouldn't be any problem. Qiye is already in that state... it would be unreasonable to let him escape again..."
"By the way, Qingyu, your thing is pretty amazing. Could you give us some too?"
"Why? Do you have girlfriends?"
"Um... strictly speaking, I have many girlfriends~"
"........"
That night, Lin Qiye slowly walked out of the dormitory building with Jialan's help.
Seeing the strange looks from the crowd, the two blushed and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
