The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Chapter 182: Dealing with Prisoners [24]

There must be some connection, but what exactly is it? Ruan Xiaojiu touched his chin and lowered his head in thought.

"After you died, the Emperor of Heaven and the Purple Star Divine Lord calculated again and concluded that you would be reborn, just as they had imagined."

Pluto paused here and looked at Ruan Xiaojiu with eyes full of worry.

Ruan Xiaojiu also realized something was wrong when he saw Pluto's expression. "Father, it's okay. Just continue. I will accept whatever it is and be careful."

"Xiaojiu, with your special soul, it's impossible for the Emperor of Heaven to kill you, so he's very wary of you. "Because your soul bears the seal of the Samsara Ring, it's a symbol of eternal life. Even if you weren't a Fire Phoenix, you wouldn't have vanished from this world. Your mother and I only discovered this later." What he didn't say was that it was the mark of God. He and Ningshuang were also shocked the moment they found out. It was an honor for them to know that their daughter was actually the reincarnation of that person!

"So powerful?" Ruan Xiaojiu immediately wanted to check her body to see what the mark looked like. She was really curious. Was she so powerful?

Hades felt somewhat relieved at seeing his still-adorable daughter. He continued, "So, since they don't want you to overthrow the world, they have no choice but to resort to another method. That's to seal you. But to seal you, there's an important condition. I can't remember the specifics, but I do remember that they'll do everything they can to get someone close to you and drive three soul-locking nails into your heart, preventing your soul from leaving your body and then sealing you."

At this point, Hades was heartbroken beyond words. This was his daughter, the apple of their eye. How could he tolerate someone using such despicable means to harm her?

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Hades continued, "So you must remember, don't trust anyone, especially those around you. Be careful of anyone you think can bring you danger."

"Drill a soul-locking nail into my heart?" Ruan Xiaojiu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, father. No one in the human world can rival my daughter. Driving a nail into my body is simply a pipe dream."

"Just be careful." Pluto looked very tired, but still patiently explained all the possible dangers.

The most important thing Ruan Xiaojiu thought of was that she was very weak in the heavens. How could she rescue her father and mother if she couldn't go there? Thinking of this, she asked. "Father, although I am very powerful in the human world now, I can't go to the heavens. How can I go there to rescue you?"

"Don't worry about this matter. Everything has its own destiny. There is no better way. You can only let nature take its course. However, since you are someone who can overturn this world, going to heaven is not a big deal for you. You will go there."

"But my daughter, whenever I think of you and the Queen Mother suffering in Heaven, I feel uneasy and want to rescue you quickly."

"Father knows you're worried, but if you're not strong enough, even going to Heaven won't help, and you'll risk your life. Why not learn more magic now and increase your strength? Then you'll be worried you won't be able to save us!"

"Where is my daughter going to learn magic?" Ruan Xiaojiu wanted to become stronger quickly, and his tone was anxious.

She had never felt so disgusted with herself for being so weak.

Pluto pointed his finger into his coffin, and instantly a thick ancient book floated out and fell into Ruan Xiaojiu's hands.

"This is a spell manual, containing all the spells and techniques for Heaven-level spells. You are a dark spirit, and will be attracted to those with light bodies. You should be able to merge, and the light body will automatically absorb the energy of the dark spirit. Once you possess the energy of light, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort in your cultivation, and your cultivation will be extremely fast. In a few years, you will be able to save me and your mother."

Ruan Xiaojiu listened intently. A luminous body? Could it attract her? Combining with someone who possessed a luminous body would help her cultivate at a rapid pace. She remembered this, firmly engraved in her heart.

She looked at the heavy secret book in her hand, flipped through a few pages casually, then left Baimen and placed it on the stone table where the Space Gu King was lying. This thing could not be taken out, as it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Three days later, Ruan Xiaojiu left the space. The full moon night had passed a day ago. Today was the night of the sixteenth. The round moon hung in the sky. Ruan Xiaojiu let out a long sigh and sat on the stone table in the yard.

Luo Shu was always worried about Ruan Xiaojiu, fearing that she could not bear the blow and would become depressed. For three consecutive days, Ruan Xiaojiu locked herself in the room, and Luo Shu stayed there for three days.

Only when he heard the sound of Ruan Xiaojiu's door did Luo Shu feel relieved.

Ruan Xiaojiu noticed someone outside her door and asked in a low voice, "Who's outside?"

Luo Shu stopped when he heard the voice and replied, "Yes, Luo Shu, am I disturbing the girl?"

Ruan Xiaojiu didn't remember this person, but judging by the voice, he seemed to know him, so he didn't make it too difficult. "It's okay, you can go down."

Luo Shu felt a little disappointed. He wanted to go in and see Ruan Xiaojiu, but Ruan Xiaojiu had already started to chase him away, so he had no choice but to leave. Now that everyone around him had come out, he felt relieved.

The guard who was guarding Ye Tingyi's room looked at Ruan Xiaojiu indifferently. He saw her locking herself in the room for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and he thought she was going to starve herself to death. Now he saw her coming out in the middle of the night and sitting there stupidly. He didn't know what was wrong with her.

Chen Xiaojiu could always sense the young guard's gaze on her, but she ignored it and sat in the yard until dawn before returning to her room.

The city lord got the news first and rushed over. There were still 300,000 troops inside and outside the city waiting for his fate. He couldn't afford to support so many people. He felt that his hair would turn white if he waited one more day.

The city lord came to Ruan Xiaojiu, who was eating breakfast in the dining room. The city lord approached and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you okay? What happened?"

Seeing the city lord's anxious look, he replied calmly, "Nothing, but you, is there something wrong?"

The city lord quickly told Ruan Xiaojiu that he could not afford to support the 300,000 people and asked him to arrange for them to move out as soon as possible. He really could not afford to feed so many people.

"Your Highness, there are tents and people everywhere inside and outside the city. Isn't it time for you to arrange for them to leave?" The city lord gave a subtle reminder.

Ruan Xiaojiu just remembered this matter. He had been out for many days and it was time to finish dealing with things here and go back.

"Didn't I say before that I would send them to the islands in the sea? I've already dealt with the hidden dangers there. You can send them there anytime and let them be self-sufficient, cultivating the land. You should have a fixed daily income from seafood, which you can then convert into silver and send back to the capital."

"What? What did you say?" The city lord was shocked.

"You want to be a hands-off boss? Let me do everything?" He pointed at himself with an expression of disbelief.

"I am not cut out for that. I can't manage well."
