The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chapter 387 Saving Li Li

After a period of chaos and confusion, everyone began to frantically repair the broken barrier.

I saw flashes of spiritual light, and various magical lights intertwined together, like a colorful painting.

Bai Ze stood aside, directing everyone in an orderly manner, and personally taking action to reinforce key parts from time to time.

Not only that, he also ordered his men to build a large number of fortifications.

For a time, various materials were transported to the site continuously, and the craftsmen began to work enthusiastically.

Some were piling up huge stones, some were casting sturdy metal fences, and others were arranging complex formations and mechanisms... The whole scene was tense and orderly.

Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was already evening.

After a long period of hard work, everything was finally arranged properly.

The exhausted people sat down or lay down on the spot and began to rest their bodies and minds.

However, when everyone was taking a break, they found that Bai Ze still did not stop and was tirelessly busy with other matters.

"White Pond."

Ye Hua stopped Bai Ze who was still running and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

Bai Ze first stopped and turned around. When she saw Zhu Jiuyin following closely behind her, the expression on her face was indescribably sad.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You know I will listen to you."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Jiuyin's expression changed slightly, and he looked at him with a little more wariness.

Ye Hua looked at his timid appearance, and felt a pity for being abandoned. She actually felt a little guilty and a little distressed for him in her heart.

"You still have to learn to say no in the future. Don't just accept whatever I say. Otherwise, I might end up hurting you."

"Then will you harm me?"

Bai Ze blinked his big eyes and asked Ye Hua confidently.

"No!" Ye Hua answered without thinking.

"That's fine, you won't harm me anyway, so I should listen to you. After all, you've saved my life twice."

Bai Ze smiled with his eyes curved like crescent moons, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth exuded his unique charm from time to time.

This made Ye Hua's eyes wide open. She stared at him without moving her eyeballs. It was only when Zhu Jiuyin put his hand on her shoulder that she looked away.

"Whatever you say is what it is! But I'm already planning to leave this Penglai Fairy Island..."

"You want to leave...why?"

Bai Ze took several steps forward excitedly, completely ignoring Zhu Jiuyin who was standing behind her with a gloomy face as he approached.

"Don't get excited..."

Ye Hua felt the chill behind him and subconsciously stretched out his hands to stop Bai Ze's figure that was getting closer and closer.

"I just don't want such a small island with spring all year round to fall in one war after another. Old man Qingyou will never give up until the flames of war burn Penglai to ashes."

"I have also said that even without you, he would not let us go. There is a natural barrier here that cannot be easily broken. Moreover, the spiritual energy here is abundant and is most suitable for cultivation. Where can you find such a good place for cultivation if you leave here?"

Bai Ze became more and more excited as he spoke. He was not worried about the safety of the fairy island at all. At this moment, he was more worried that the person in front of him would slip away under his nose.

Zhu Jiuyin, who had been standing behind him silently, finally spoke a fair word.

"Yer, he's right. Even if you weren't here, any place in this world where monsters lived would have been eradicated by the monster hunters under your sanctimonious master. During the years you were confined to Qingcheng Mountain, the world has undergone tremendous changes..."

After hearing this, Ye Hua's eyes turned bloodshot instantly. Her anger reached its peak and she asked with twitching mouth.

"Have you also been hiding and being hunted these past few years?"

"It's... not that exaggerated. Calm down."

Zhu Jiuyin restrained Ye Hua from rushing back to Qingcheng Mountain with a knife, while Bai Ze, who was standing opposite her, comforted her.

"I am protected by the barrier of Penglai Fairy Island. Ordinary people cannot find this place, so I have never had to flee. You can rest assured."

Ye Hua didn't believe what they said at all. She suddenly thought of something and raised her head abruptly.

"My senior brother, where's Li Li? Why don't I see him? Isn't he with you? He definitely can't go back to Qingcheng Mountain. I wonder how he's been doing out there these past few years?"

“He…he’s fine…”

At that moment, Bai Ze was caught off guard and her sudden question hit the softest part of his heart.

It's like a stone is thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

He only felt that the demon pill in his chest seemed to suddenly come alive and began to beat uncontrollably.

At the same time, pictures flashed through his mind like a movie.

Every picture is so clear, as if it had just happened.

Especially the scene where Li Li stepped forward, stood in front of them without hesitation, and shouted loudly for them to go first, which was deeply imprinted in his memory.

At that time, Li Li had a resolute look on his face, his eyes were firm and fearless, and he had no intention of retreating in the face of the threat from the powerful enemy.

He used his not-so-broad body to create a safe space for them.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around became unimportant. Only Li Li's tall figure was forever fixed in Bai Ze's heart.

"Let's go. I don't want my little sister to risk her life to save you, only to be captured by Master and taken back. Her kindness would be wasted..."

Ye Hua had already known something from Bai Ze's words, which were not good at lying, but she still didn't want to believe it. She asked cautiously and anxiously awaited their answer.

"Do you have any way to contact him?"

"I...I haven't seen him since we parted at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain a few years ago."

While Bai Ze was speaking, he didn't even dare to look up into Ye Hua's eyes.

"Zhu Jiuyin, what about you?"

Ye Hua was about to cry at this moment, her voice trembling uncontrollably. She seemed to have foreseen that Li Li might be in danger.

"I don't want to lie to you..."

Zhu Jiuyin's voice choked with sobs, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

"He didn't come out of Qingcheng Mountain with us. He was the one who single-handedly stopped the layers of guards on Qingcheng Mountain. Otherwise, with our bodies having just recovered, we would never have been able to escape the clutches of Qingcheng Mountain."

Ye Hua's eyes widened, her face filled with horror. As Zhu Jiuyin spoke in a sobbing voice, her inner defenses gradually collapsed.

The spiritual power and immortal power that were originally running stably and orderly in the body, as well as the power of the phoenix that had just broken through the seal and could be sensed.

At this moment, they were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, roaming and rushing around in her delicate body.

These forces entangled and collided with each other, sometimes merging and sometimes separating, causing Ye Hua great pain.

She bit her lips, trying to control them with her willpower, but all efforts were in vain.

Bai Ze and Zhu Jiuyin, who were standing by, were stunned by the scene before them.

I saw a colorful light bursting out from Ye Hua's body, and the energy contained in it was like a surging wave, gushing out continuously.

This mixed force rushed straight into the sky with the force of a tidal wave, and was about to hit the barrier on the fairy island.

At this critical moment, the barrier emitted a light blue halo, desperately resisting the impact of this violent force.

However, although the barrier temporarily withstood the attack, it also began to show tiny cracks, as if it would break at any moment.

At this time, Ye Hua was unable to withstand the backlash of such a huge force, and his body was shaking continuously, and finally he slowly fell backwards.

Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, and faint moans came from her mouth from time to time.

Zhu Jiuyin was the first to react. He flashed to Ye Hua's side and supported her body as she was about to fall.

Bai Ze also hurried forward, and the two of them worked together to lay Ye Hua flat on the ground.

Bai Ze hurriedly circulated his own spiritual power, trying to guide the power running around in Ye Hua's body back to its place.

Zhu Jiuyin set up a small restriction on the side to prevent Ye Hua's uncontrolled power from impacting the barrier again.

With the infusion of Bai Ze's spiritual power, Ye Hua gradually stopped trembling. Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, her eyes full of grief and self-blame.

"I must go and save my brother, no matter what the cost."

Ye Hua's tone was firm.

Bai Ze and Zhu Jiuyin looked at each other, knowing that they couldn't persuade her.

Bai Ze advised softly, "We need to discuss this matter later."

Ye Hua shook his head stubbornly, "There's nothing to discuss. I've made up my mind."

Zhu Jiuyin sighed helplessly, "You're just throwing an egg against a rock if you rush forward like this. Putting aside whether you can break through Qingcheng Mountain's heavy defenses, your master's strength is unfathomable. How can you be his match?"

Bai Ze also agreed, "Indeed, we need to make some careful plans. From what I know, your senior brother Li Li is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. Perhaps he is not completely dead. Perhaps he has used this art to hide his tracks and is waiting for the right moment to escape from Qingcheng Mountain."

When Ye Hua heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "Then what should we do?"

Bai Ze pondered for a moment and said, "We can first send someone to secretly investigate the activities near Qingcheng Mountain and look for any possible clues. Meanwhile, Zhu Jiuyin and I will study some methods to break your master's spell. In the meantime, you need to rest and recuperate here. Once we are fully prepared, we will go together to rescue you."

Although Ye Hua was extremely anxious, he also understood that this was a safer move.

So she nodded silently, "Then do as you say, but it must be done quickly."

Afterwards, the three of them began to prepare for the rescue, and the atmosphere was solemn but full of determination.

While Ye Hua was tossing and turning on the bed in the wooden house, Bai Ze pulled Zhu Jiuyin and stood under the bright moonlight, as if they had something to say to each other.

The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped at this moment.

The sea surface was gently blown by the gentle breeze, creating layers of ripples. The ripples slowly extended into the distance like silver silk.

When the wind blows across the sea, it makes a subtle and crisp sound, like the soft singing in a beautiful piece of music.

This peaceful and beautiful scene makes people indulge in it and forget all the hustle and bustle of the world.

But Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze, who were in the middle of it, looked like they had a lot on their minds, and neither of them knew how to start expressing themselves.

It was Zhu Jiuyin who spoke first.

"You think Li Li is still alive? Will their damn master really let him go?"

Bai Ze's face was heavy and he said nothing.

"If he is still alive, why doesn't he recognize Ye Hua? And why doesn't he escape with her? I'm afraid he is in great danger..."

Bai Ze was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke: "I have a hunch that he is still alive. Perhaps he has his own difficulties and has other purposes for staying in Qingcheng Mountain."

Zhu Jiuyin sneered, "Intuition? That's not your style. If he dies, Ye Hua will definitely go all out to kill his way up Qingcheng Mountain, and no one will be able to stop him."

Bai Ze frowned, "So we must find out the truth as soon as possible. I plan to sneak into Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow to find out."

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? That's tantamount to walking into a trap."

"But this is the fastest way to find out whether Li Li is alive or dead. And I have great confidence in the Bai Ze clan's concealment methods."

Bai Ze's eyes were firm.

Zhu Jiuyin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you. There'll be more people to look after you."

Just as Bai Ze was about to refuse, Zhu Jiuyin interrupted him: "No need to say more. For Ye Hua, I won't watch you take risks alone."

"If you go and I go too, who will guard the island? Who will calm Yehua's mind?" Bai Ze asked back.

Zhu Jiuyin was speechless for a moment, he knew that what Bai Ze said made sense.

"What should I do? I can't just watch you take risks."

Bai Ze pondered for a moment, "You stay here to guard the island and take care of Ye Hua. I'll leave a wisp of my spirit for you. If you encounter danger, crush it, and I'll know and rush back in time. If I'm in danger, you can also know through my spirit."

Zhu Jiuyin frowned, and although he was reluctant, he could only agree, "Then you must be careful in everything."

On the second day, Bai Ze transformed into a breeze and sneaked into Qingcheng Mountain.

The mountains were filled with fog, and there was a faint sense of oppression.

He carefully avoided the patrolling disciples and searched for Li Li's whereabouts all the way.

Suddenly, he sensed a strange aura coming from a cave. As he approached quietly, he heard a slight gasp coming from inside.

Looking through the gap, it was Li Li. He was chained and covered in wounds, but his eyes were determined.

Bai Ze was about to save people, but he triggered the restriction in the cave.

The alarm sounded and many monster hunters quickly gathered around.

Bai Ze used all his skills to deal with it, and at the same time sent a message to Zhu Jiuyin to start the plan.

Zhu Jiuyin received the news and rushed to the agreed place with Ye Hua to meet Bai Ze and Li Li.

Bai Ze tried his best to break the ban, picked up the weak Li Li and ran towards the agreed location.

Finally, after a lot of hardships and dangers, they finally succeeded in reuniting.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and relief, because the journey was so difficult.

However, this was not the time to relax. They did not dare to delay for even a moment. They quickly packed their luggage and left Qingcheng Mountain without stopping.

As they got further away from Qingcheng Mountain, the tension in everyone's hearts eased a little, but they still remained vigilant.

Only when they cut through the wormhole and jumped onto the sand of Penglai Island did they feel at ease.
