Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Licheng.

Mingzhu only returned a few days ago.

Although the rebel army in Licheng had grown to a considerable size, she, one of the leaders of Licheng, had no idea that "those who achieve great things must cherish their own lives."

He often ventured alone into the chaotic south.

The soul lamps in the city flickered several times, and on one occasion, they were completely extinguished.

Her relatives and friends in the city cursed and wept for three days in front of her cenotaph. As a result, the Mingzhu Soul Lamp was lit again, and she brought many strange cultivators back to Licheng.

She always brings some people back with her.

Sometimes he returns alone, sometimes he brings a weak mortal, and sometimes he brings a mysterious master with profound cultivation.

They even brought back a demon who loved storytelling.

Mingzhu and this demon named "Luo Budao" had a very close relationship and even talked all night for two nights in a row.

No one knows what the human and the demon were talking about in private.

Licheng was not only chaotic, but also oppressive.

Many people will always die.

Mingzhu left Licheng many times, mostly to lure away powerful enemies and escape from being chased.

Therefore, Luo Budao was very popular in Licheng.

During the years Luo Budao worked odd jobs at Mohen Bookstore, he read countless novels. They included stories like "The Overbearing Immortal Venerable Cannot Do Without Me," "My Senior Sister Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness," and "Big Boss, Spare Me! I'm Really Just a Pill Cultivator"...

Occasionally, he would talk about "the sorcerer of Tongzhou" or "fallen leaves inviting autumn".

Luo Budao even fabricated quite a few stories about the bright candle.

Therefore, Zhu Wuyao has a very good reputation in Licheng.

He is a well-known and prominent figure.

"...Fallen Leaves Invite Autumn's Chivalrous Spirit Remains Unchanged. In those years, she traveled the world, like fallen leaves drifting in the wind, all alone with her sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingzhu clapped and cheered.

"it is good!"

Her eyes shone brightly; the years of bloodshed, trials, and tribulations had added a touch of heroic spirit to Mingzhu.

At this moment, Mingzhu wished he could announce to the world that his first sword technique was also the Falling Leaf Sword!

Her mentor, who introduced her to the world of music, was none other than Luoye Yaoqiu.

But she can't.

Today, Licheng is a stronghold for ambitious people from all over the world, and Sister Wu knows where she is.

But I've never been here.

Mingzhu never knew the reason behind it, but she understood that Sister Wu meant to conceal their relationship.

Just as she was listening intently to Luo Budao's storytelling, a monk came to her side.

This person was one of the group she brought back to Licheng from a strange little cave when her soul lamp went out.

He wore a robe and covered his face.

Aside from those who are enlightened, they rarely interact with outsiders.

Even now, when she has something to say to Mingzhu, she bends down and whispers it to him.

After hearing what the masked man had to say, Mingzhu instantly shed his previous street-smart demeanor, frowned, stood up, and said:

"I'll go and talk to Mr. Cui about this."

Before long, she arrived at Mr. Cui's residence.

He relayed what the man in black had just said, saying:

"The Brownstone Clan lives in an area with very little spiritual energy. Since they were freed from their shackles and came to Licheng with me, their cultivation has progressed very quickly."

"And they are exceptionally perceptive of changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"The Brownstone Clan says that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has changed, and this is credible."

“Mr. Cui, the spiritual energy in Licheng… has probably really decreased. Although it’s only a very subtle change, we must be wary.”

On the table, the incense burner emitted purple smoke under the light.

Cui Heng lowered her eyes in deep thought, closed the folding fan in her hand, and lightly tapped the edge of the table.

After a long pause, he said somewhat hesitantly:

"The assassination attempt by Luoye Yaoqiu on the leader of the Juque Sect may have disrupted the balance, causing the lever to tip?"

Cui Heng didn't really believe this conclusion either.

While Luo Ye Yao Qiu's assassination attempt on the Ju Que Sect leader at this time might boost morale, it wasn't a good opportunity. For the sake of "balance," the spiritual energy in Li City should be more abundant.

She concealed the worry between her brows, smiled at Mingzhu, and asked:

"Have you heard anything from your 'close friend in the box' lately?"

Li Cheng escaped several calamities thanks to the note in the box, which allowed him to learn of the Juque Sect's plans in advance and prepare a countermeasure.

Zhu Wuyao has been saving Ge Mingsheng, and Ge Mingsheng has been saving Li Cheng.

When Mr. Cui mentioned the "close friend in the box," Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed. In order not to reveal his identity, she would privately screen each note that was sent to her.

Then inform Mr. Cui.

This matter will then appear somewhat secretive.

Upon hearing this question, Mingzhu nodded, somewhat worried, and said:

"The atmosphere at the Juque Sect has been a bit strange lately. Some time ago, they inexplicably started collecting information about the Mohen Bookstore."

"And several elders are behaving in a rather unusual way."

"Hmm... It's like suddenly abandoning evil and turning back to good, a very subtle change. It seems like they're united and wholeheartedly devoted to the Juque Sect. But that might be a bit of an exaggeration..."

"Some things are hard to explain or understand."

"She hasn't dared to make any rash moves lately."

Upon hearing this, Cui Heng immediately realized that something extraordinary was happening in the shadows.

Licheng's foundation is still shallow.

Even though Mingzhu often goes out, and even though there are many cultivators in Licheng, compared to the major sects, they are far inferior in terms of information gathering.

That's a world of difference.

Therefore, news from Licheng is always a bit behind.

“I have some unease in my heart, Mingzhu. Your ‘close friend in the box’ may be in danger in the coming days.”

"It's a pity you can't deliver the message to her, otherwise, our Li City might be able to go and meet her, helping her leave the Juque Sect as soon as possible..."

Zhu Wuyao and Song Kezi traveled together.

Along the way, she would clench her fist from time to time, feeling the flow of spiritual energy within her body.

It turned out that it wasn't her imagination, but that her power had really increased... Zhu Wuyao felt the spiritual energy circulating in her meridians, and under Song Kezi's trembling gaze, she suddenly raised her palm and slammed it forward.

“BOOM—!”

The boulder rolled down.

She carefully experienced the subtle differences when using spiritual power.

Completely unaware, Song Kezi next to him was almost startled and jumped up.

Song Kezi glanced furtively at Zhu Wuyao. Throughout the journey, Zhu Wuyao's frequent clenching of his fists had kept him unusually well-behaved.

He was afraid of offending Zhu Wuyao and getting beaten up again.

In his mind, Zhu Wuyao did it on purpose!

"strangeness……"

Zhu Wuyao silently recited.

It seemed that the further she went, the faster her spiritual energy would recover; she appeared to be approaching a spiritual vein brimming with spiritual energy.

And it's not just because of this sacred mountain.

It also makes it easier for cultivators to gather spiritual power when using spells.

If she weren't already at the Nascent Soul stage, she probably wouldn't have noticed the subtleties involved.

Could it be that during the reconstruction of the order of heaven and earth, the arrival of the Great Tribulation not only opened up new paths to enlightenment, but also caused changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

However, the reason she moved forward and wanted to find out the root cause was that she felt something unusual was happening ahead.

She wanted to try to find the object of destiny in the place where chaos was unfolding.
