Chapter 397 I’ve been waiting for you for a long time
However, the Blood Demon Cave no longer existed, having been razed to the ground. A biting cold wind blew past, leaving only endless sadness.
Li Nian's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She looked around one by one, trying to search for the breath of a living person, but she couldn't find any.
She knew that this was meaningless, but she still hoped that maybe the old man Wangyou was still alive.
"...Li Nian,...Where's my master? Can you help me find him?"
There were traces of tears and blood on the boy's face, tears gathered in his red eyes, and he looked at the scene in panic.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Nian's hand with all his strength, his voice full of pleading and trembling.
“…Please, Master wants to go home with me, please help me find him…”
Li Nian frowned deeply, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle. He pursed his lips tightly before saying
“…Senior Brother Qi An, there is…no sign of life here.”
Qi An froze. He slowly raised his head and looked at the girl. Tears rolled down his eyes and he kept shaking his head.
"That's impossible. Master loves playing hide-and-seek with me. He's lying to us, isn't he?"
He looked at Li Nian steadily, as if begging her, hoping to get her affirmative answer.
Li Nian took a deep breath. Looking at the boy's appearance, her heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and bitterness rose in her throat.
"Brother Qi An, the elder hopes you will live well."
She did not give a direct response, but just said this sentence, but it also represented the answer.
After being stunned for a moment, the boy suddenly began to tremble all over. He could no longer hold back and began to sob, covering his face.
“…Master…Master…”
He murmured helplessly and called out.
But no one will respond to his little temper or stay by his side unconditionally anymore.
Li Nian couldn't bear to look away, but the boy's physical condition didn't allow him to do so, and he soon fainted.
"Senior Brother Qi An?"
She helped the man up and without thinking twice, stuffed the life-saving pills into his mouth.
At the same time, he condensed a trace of chaotic power to seal his evil spirit again.
"Owner!"
"Be careful, someone is coming."
The jade stones in the palace were on high alert. When they sensed a strange aura approaching, they immediately gave warnings.
Li Nian frowned and immediately put Qi An into the hot spring in the palace and said
"Tuan Tuan Yu Shi, please take good care of my brother."
The two little ones in the palace immediately agreed to take care of the half-dead person. They were both very familiar with the process.
I just hope everything goes smoothly for the master. After all, what she faces is much more difficult than what they face.
The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer. Li Nian opened his eyes and looked over, and saw an old acquaintance who had disappeared for some time.
"Li Nian, long time no see."
Chu Xu had an indifferent expression on her face, standing gracefully in the desolate place, but there was an indescribable viciousness in her.
Li Nian stood up, stared at her for a few seconds, then chuckled with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"It's been a long time since I killed your mother."
When Xin Shuirong was mentioned, Chu Xu's indifferent expression suddenly twisted, but she quickly restrained herself.
She was clearly trembling with disgust and hatred, but for some reason, a strange smile appeared on her face.
"I won't argue with you. If you want to save people, then follow me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
She seemed very sure that Li Nian would not escape, but would choose to follow her.
Li Nian stood there, lowered his eyes, with a mocking arc on his lips.
After a while, she raised her foot and followed her not too far away.
She seemed to have the right to choose, as if she could come and go as she pleased in the Demon Palace.
But only those who are familiar with the talisman formation know that from the moment Li Nian was pulled into the Demon Palace, she could not leave.
In the dark corridor, Li Nian walked forward little by little, and the next moment his eyes suddenly opened up.
"Here we are, you should go in."
A sinister and cold voice sounded from behind her, and her body was pulled in by an invisible force, but she did not panic.
After standing firmly, Li Nian raised his eyes and looked, and as expected, he saw the Sky Devourer on the high platform.
He was dressed in a black robe with a slightly open collar, revealing the dark pattern on his chest. His wolf eyes were like arrows, cruel and cold.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, looked her over lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke in a soft and strange voice.
"Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Nian frowned, alert to his movements. Shikong gave her a strange feeling, very similar to Jing Yuan, and his strength was unpredictable.
"You brought me here deliberately, what do you want to do?" she said coldly
Shikong smiled and sat on a high seat. The sinister aura around him almost made it hard for people to breathe.
"Have you forgotten? I've been waiting for your reply. If you don't come, I can only find a way to invite you."
Li Nian looked at her indifferently, obviously not caring about what he said. His eyes inadvertently swept around, looking for a way out.
"Isn't my answer very clear? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
The corners of Shikong's lips were half-curled, his slightly cold eyes were filled with scrutiny, and his voice was calm.
"You're cuter this way. Before, you were so weak that you just had to put on a perfunctory performance. Now you're a lot tougher."
Li Nian paused, trying to keep his expression calm, but his back felt cold.
They looked calm on the surface, as if old friends were reminiscing about the past, but they had already fought hundreds of times behind the scenes.
"Well, so let's just say what you want to do. I have to go home for dinner."
"........."
Shikong was stunned for a moment, not understanding how the girl could be so relaxed. He felt ashamed of himself for this.
"Hahaha, why not come with me? I won't treat you unfairly here."
"Jing Yuan is too old and has a bad temper. He's too shabby to be with you. It's not worth it."
Li Nian: “…”
She was silent for a while. "At least he's good-looking, much better looking than you. Comparatively speaking, I like his face."
Sky Devourer: “…”
After looking at each other for a moment, they both looked away.
Li Nian was about to say something when she suddenly frowned. She raised her eyes and looked at a corner, remaining silent for a long time.
"Where is Bu Wanyi? Where did you keep her?" she asked
Shikong leaned back lazily in his chair, looking in the direction of Li Nian's gaze nonchalantly, his tone leisurely and his expression cold.
"Her? I guess she's dead. What's her relationship with you that makes her worth saving?"
Li Nian's expression was cold. There were countless formations and restrictions in this underground room, and dozens of spaces overlapped. The space he was in changed with different landing points.
She could only vaguely sense a faint breath, but was not sure if it was Bu Wanyi.
"Since you have already opened the Hunyuan Realm, Bu Wanyi is of no use to you anymore. It's time for you to let her go."
