Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 356

When he saw Su Li kneeling, Lv You didn't feel any sense of getting flattered, but rather scared. He moved away from Su Li's position in front of him, quickly saying,

“Get up, all of you; it's only a coincidence to save you, and no thanks to me are needed.”

Fan Zisang was relieved and stood up with others. He said respectfully, “What are you talking about, Senior? It is just a matter of convenience for you, but a great grace for me and others. If I may be useful for you in the future, I would move heaven and earth for you.”

Lv You felt a hint of awkwardness. He came to Jiuzhou Region and always got to be hunted down by those so-called decent factions just because he was a ghost practitioner. He never expected to be revered by them one day.

“Well then, as you wish.”

Without dwelling too much on the issue, Lv You told Fan Zisang the prepared explanation vaguely, and finally fulfilled Su Li's instructions. Then he immediately stopped lingering, excusing himself to leave.

Fan Zisang lamented, for he didn't expect there would be such a good elder in the cultivation circle today.

“With the advent of the senior, the crisis in the imperial palace should've also been settled…”

Fan Zisang remembered nature's punishment he saw a few days ago, and now correlated Lv You's expression when he left in a hurry. Fan Zisang suddenly felt afraid that the elder was related to nature's punishment at that day. Otherwise, how could a high-level practitioner appear in such a rough place?

“Although the nature's punishment was terrifying that day, it didn't fall in the end. So, maybe it wasn't someone who was surmounting the nature's punishment at all, but a treasure that was born on that day?”

Thinking wildly in his heart, Fan Zisang also sensed the feeling of crisis in the dark had faded away, and turned to Consort Ling, “The matter here is done, and there is no danger in the palace. I will take my junior sister apprentices back to the sect. What's your plan, Consort Ling?”

Consort Ling glanced vaguely at Su Li. After seeing that Su Li nodded, she believed Fan Zisang's words finally. She said gladly, “In this case, I will go back to the palace and make no trouble to you, Senior.”

Without the hindrance of Wei Jing and Lord Ning, the governing power was returned to the emperor. Since the empress was no longer standing in the way, it was certain for her to become the empress, and she would never be bullied by Wei Jing again.

Fan Zisang was glad to see that Consort Ling didn't ask any excessive requests, “That's great. Since both the junior sister apprentices are tired, we'd better stay for another night. Tomorrow I will escort you back to the palace, and then we will go back to the sect.”

Su Li was silent, and no one else would refute Fan Zisang's words. So, the itinerary was set.

After Fan Zisang closed his door to meditate alone, the others went back to their rooms. Su Li opened her door and found Lv You standing respectfully at the table. Obviously, he had been waiting for quite a while.

“Well done.”

Said Su Li, walking over to the table and sat down.

Lv You was slightly relieved, but he wouldn't be careless and said, “Master, I've already found out what you asked me to do. How should we deal with those two?”

Su Li blinked, “Wait first; tell me about the situation, especially about the monster in detail.”

Lv You immediately described all the information he collected with the Soul Search Skill.

Wei Jing came from the noble branches of Jincheng Family, just like Lord Ning did, while it was common for practitioners. But both of them had a remarkable adventure at the age of 16.

When they were playing in an abandoned house of Liu Family in the imperial city, they accidentally fell into a well, in which they found a cave. There, they found Ye Ji and the way to control it. However, Beast Control Tactics could be practiced only by females. Wei Jing went into a meditative state after she got it.

Lord Ning had found a practice method and a spiritual fruit. With the help of the spiritual fruit, his cultivation speed had surpassed that of Wei Jing, and in just a few years, he even surpassed Jincheng He, who had been carefully trained by the royal family.

Supported by his strength, he naturally made his ambition skyrocketed. After Wei Jing became the empress, Lord Ning's growing resentment to the royal family led to this theater now.

It would be easy to control Jincheng Country with a controlled Ye Ji. However, they met Su Li.

“In that case, I have to make a trip to the abandoned house of Liu Family.”

Su Li's gaze was bright, but she was silent, while Lv You stood aside quietly, not daring to disturb.

A few moments later, Su Li took a light breath and regained her calm expression, “You go to the ruined house of Liu Family to investigate. If there are other blue monsters, don't act rashly to alert them! Just come back and report. As for those two… Since there is no use to keep them alive, kill them.”

“Yes, Master!”

Hearing Su Li's tone as bland as eating food and drinking water, Lv You immediately lowered his head and hid the shock and confusion under his face.

He had thought previously that his master was just fourteen years old, and still well protected by her sect, so goodness and mercy still played an important part in her heart. With this in mind, he did no harm to their awareness when using the Soul Search Tactics.

However, he didn't expect that despite her young age, his master was so ruthless and much more determined to kill people than him, who had lived for thousands of years.

His master was born as an evildoer, the evilest being. How would he end up following with her?

Lv You flew away with a hint of worry.

Su Li didn't notice Lv You's thoughts, and even if she did, she wouldn't care about it, because some things could be discovered over time, and there was no need to explain too much.

Nothing but meditating and practicing happened that night.

The next morning, Su Li woke up early and finished her practice. After she sensed that her body was filled with more spiritual energy, her eyes were shining brightly.

Her reserve on spiritual stones was still sufficient for the time being. Although the speed of practice had slightly decreased, according to the current situation, she would be able to reach the peak of the seventh hurdle of ancient Lianqi Realm in five more days.

“It is unknown if the peak of the seventh hurdle would allow me to counter those in the early stage of Zhuji Realm without using the physical strength…”

After all, there was a large realm between Lianqi Realm and Zhuji Realm. She was not clear… how great the eighteenth hurdle of Lianqi Realm would be. She would not estimate the seventh hurdle of ancient Lianqi Ream too optimistically.

Su Li opened the door as she was thinking this. With an innocent face, she came to Fan Zisang's room, and Jin Ying was already there.

“Junior Sister Apprentice, here you come.”

Fan Zisang had a mild smile on his face, looking at the two young girls. There was a trace of guilt in his eyes, and he comforted, “Unexpectedly, there have been frequent accidents. I have received a letter from our Master. Today, we will go back to the sect. I will ask some elixirs from our Master for you to make up the progress of your practice.”

“You have my full trust, Senior Fellow Apprentice!”

Jin Ying said first. Although she got out of danger with Su Li's secret help, this did not prevent her from developing a good feeling for Fan Zisang, for… he had done his best!

Su Li nodded slightly, too. After she found Lv You's treasury, her cultivation progress had not been left behind but improved. With Black Lotus and Ye Ji, it was a best-rewarded trip for her to Jincheng Country.

“As to the investigation of the ruined house of Liu Family, I have to find a way to delay it for a while, when I get to the royal palace…”

Soon arrived Consort Ling and Commander Wang. It took the group several hours to return to the imperial city. As the head of the royal guards, Commander Wang immediately began to rebuild the order in the palace.

Consort Ling moved into the commander's residence temporarily. Noticing that everything was perfectly settled down, Fan Zisang was about to leave with Su Li and Jin Ying, but at this moment —

Swish!

A bright green light in the sky fell in front of Fan Zisang. After the light faded away, Lv You appeared.

“Senior?”

Fan Zisang was surprised, and Lv You adjusted his breaths with his eyes full of frightening. He grasped Fan Zisang immediately, saying, “You, come to the palace with me and help me find Jincheng He!”

Fan Zisang was confused but still nodded. He said, “I don't dare to disobey your orders, Senior. However, may I settle down my two junior sister apprentices at first?”

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, don't worry about us; go! We'll stay in the commander's residence until your return!” Jin Ying understood the situation well and said that on time, dragging Su Li to the commander's residence.

Fan Zisang was speechless with an open mouth. He wanted to say something, but was taken away by Lv You, whose voice came from a distance, “Rest assured. It won't take you long…”

After a short while, Lv You returned to the commander's residence and came to Su Li with a respectful attitude.

Jin Ying stared at Lv You, which was much more powerful than her senior fellow apprentice, and blinked her big bright eyes. She was not afraid but rather curious.

“Done?”

As Su Li stood up unhurriedly and walked towards the door, Lv You followed immediately, “I told him to search inch by inch from the southeast corner of the palace, he won't return within a half-day.”

“Ok.”

Su Li answered and turned back to Jin Ying, “Wait for my return, and don't run away.”

Jin Ying nodded obediently and watched they disappeared in the air. Su Li's plan was a diversionary tactic… What kind of person was her junior sister apprentice?

In her cognition, there never existed someone so mysterious and powerful. Su Li's appearance would remain deeply etched on her soul, and Su Li would become the most unforgettable person in her life.

Su Li sat on Lv You's shoulders and flew all the way to Liu Family's house. After a few dozens of breaths, the green flash faded away, and they stopped in front of a broken wooden door, on which paint was chipping.

“This is Liu's Mansion, and the well is located in the middle of the last courtyard.”

Said Lv You. Before he could stop Su Li, she had pushed the wooden door open. As he thought that she would be subjected to the same inexplicable and bizarre attack as he had, but… nothing happened.

“What happened?”

Lv You was stunned. Was the attack selective and could it pick its enemies?

“Indeed, there is a dissociated sinister aura, just like the one you absorbed in the old palace of the imperial city before. Though different from the ghost energy, this aura can restore your body of evil ghost either, but it comes with a lot of grievances. If you can't bear it, you will be in trouble and lose your mind.”

Black Lotus Ring did not appear, but its voice came into Su Li's mind.

Su Li frowned, seeing that the black air over Liu's Mansion, which was as dark as a dark cloud. Compared to that black air over the old palace, the sinister aura here was much thicker…

She could sense that the sinister aura had an instinctive scruple about her. Wherever she stood, there would be no aura within a 1.65 decameter radius.

But she wasn't sure… to take the initiative to absorb the aura.

After weighing her chances, Su Li gave up the idea of absorbing the sinister aura for the time being and walked towards the back of the courtyard
