Volka's heart was about to break when he saw his newly appointed leader being beaten into the ground in less than a day.

  Another Blade of the Underworld has fallen...

  "Heavens! I've already reported all the information, it's he himself who wants to die, and still took a cup of wine to show off, only to be beaten to death by someone... And yet he says he's a master strategist, cautious and prudent... With this kind of intelligence, it doesn't seem like it at all!"

  After ranting, Volha hurriedly left Greenleaf Castle, without even having time to collect the body of "Phantom".

  While Markov is still alive, the Cult of the Unseen has returned to being hunted across the land and cannot openly show itself in cities.

  The sect has a more explicit record - this emperor has not appeared since 1375!

  The old-fashioned strongmen all dug their own tombs in advance and lay down in them before they died.

  I originally thought Markov was the same, but I didn't expect him to be still alive!

  Wolha took one last look at Green Ridge City and left reluctantly.

  The sect's core business - spells and artifacts, equivalent to the blue star's arms trade, making money as fast as a printing press. Even if there are countless regrets, everything must be abandoned now.

  ~~~~~

  Li Rui booked the best hotel in Shangcheng District and the best room for Sia, temporarily settling her down. This matter still needs to be reported to Xia Dai.

  Then took Lina back to the villa.

  Lina almost burst into tears when she saw the outer wall of the villa. This was where she grew up, but now everything had changed.

  She became a concubine for the sake of her family's future, but unexpectedly her brother also didn't turn out well - he ended up becoming a kept husband.

  Thinking of the miserable fate of brothers and sisters, I couldn't help but feel sad from the heart.

  They had just arrived when the gate was already open. Merle rushed out eagerly and the two women hugged each other, crying tears of joy.

  "Meryl, when you were a child, Saus brought you to Ireland, I secretly watched you from afar. At that time, I really wanted to touch you and hold you, but I didn't dare."

  "Auntie, I'm doing well, both brothers are taking good care of me, and I've also found an excellent partner."

  The two of them poured out their hearts for half a day, when Mel suddenly spoke up in a serious tone:

  "I am about to step into the silver gate of order and will surely revive the prestige of the Green Ridge family!"

  Lina was also thrilled to hear the good news, and she kept praising Meryl, reminding her: "Don't say that again in the future, you are a member of the Pulver family, you must remember this!"

  Mei'er nodded in agreement.

  Li Rui smiled reservedly at his sister and said: "It's all thanks to me, you should thank me properly ~ you know what I mean ~"

  Mei'er knew what her partner meant and wanted her to use those disgusting battle tactics, so she gave Li Rui a fierce stare, conveying the message "you'd better not".

  Li Rui let them talk and carried all the big and small packages back home by herself.

  All of these are gains from this trip, including the devil knowledge and diamond heart that Aki sent.

  After finishing the devil's knowledge, he didn't throw it away like before. He thought it was a gift from his friend, so it wouldn't be good to throw it away casually, and brought it back together.

  Aki's demon knowledge from the Great Fa Master is very effective, progress increased by 25%! Currently it is:

  Starship Troopers (1997)

  It was just a little bit short, Li Rui's heart was like a cat scratching, but the devil's knowledge really didn't have any more.

  It's ironic that after running around in Irulan, his etheric body was the first to condense. All that's left is to adapt to the massive influx of ether entering his body, forming a circulation within, and the ether path can officially enter the silver rank.

  Li Rui couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy at the impermanence of things. Things often don't go as smoothly as imagined, originally wanting to go to Yirulan to buy and strengthen early, lying down to get benefits.

  Who would have thought that the system is so unreliable, but instead it was the accidental encounter with the Ghoul Lord on the road - Lick, who was the most helpful! One step to the stomach saved a lot of time.

  As long as the result is good, it's all right.

  ~~~~~

  Diamonds extinguished, Li Rui and Mei Er parted ways, ending their painful separation.

  The girl is right, she has indeed advanced quickly and her physique is much stronger than before.

  Li Rui stroked his companion's beautiful and exaggerated curves, feeling pleased with himself.

  "It's all thanks to my hard work and the essence of life I brought back for you, look! We're about to advance so quickly! Shouldn't you thank me?"

  Mei'er looked displeased, a rare sight with a hint of shyness: "No way, it's all my own hard work in cultivation. Don't think you can deceive me with your evil battle skills!"

  Thinking of advancing soon, the sister became arrogant and said:

  "When I enter the Silver Rank, the ability of my Bloodline Talent will also be greatly enhanced. At that time, I want you to return to your original withered appearance and drive away all the seductive goods around you!"

  Li Rui was both shocked and angry upon hearing this. He was shocked that Mei Er still had such wild ambitions! He was angry that Mei Er brought up his unbearable past again.

  "Unable to help himself, he let out a loud shout: 'In the past, I pitied you and never made you beg for mercy. Today, I definitely won't let you off again!'"

  The two of them immediately used their Crushing Battle Technique to bombard each other.

  Mei'er is definitely no match, and her awkward appearance is just a joke. Li Rui was just talking big, after all, he couldn't really hurt her.

  Seeing that it was not working out, they stopped their attack. They brought out their secret weapon - a tongue-lashing scolding from the master!

  It's quite common to refine a monster's body into a weapon. He thought this thing was incredibly resilient and would make for great material, so he picked it up, and indeed it came in handy.

  Meryl let out a shrill cry as soon as she saw this thing.

  Li Rui couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, swinging his weapon and creating a whirring sound as he slowly closed in, increasing the oppressive atmosphere.

  "How's that? Scared yet? Hurry up and beg for mercy, I'll spare your life!"

  Mei didn't beg for mercy as he had imagined, but instead cried with a sad expression, hugging his knees: "You look down on me and bully me!"

  It's done! Li Rui quickly threw this thing out of the window and came forward to comfort.

  It's another tumultuous night, having agreed to countless unequal terms before coaxing my partner to sleep.

  Li Rui's egg hurts: "What am I doing on horseback!"

  ~~~~~

  Lina's room is downstairs from theirs.

  The thick stone building has excellent sound insulation, but the slightest movement can still be heard accurately in the dead of night.

  Tossing and turning, she found it hard to fall asleep, thinking about how to deal with all parties. The sudden shout and cry scared her again.

  Then a sinister silver whip-like weapon smashed onto the windowsill, startling Lina who shuddered:

  "It's been decades since I came back, and now Green Ridge City is in such a mess! Is this the kind of atmosphere that Xia Dynasty brought up?"

  ~~~~~

  Li Rui deliberately waited for two days to let Xi Ya adapt a bit before taking her to meet Xia Dati.

  I picked one of the good things I bought as a "root that binds life" as a souvenir.

  Having been out for so long, it's not right to return empty-handed. This thing is winding and sinister, even if Xia Dai can't eat it, it can still be used, absolutely cost-effective.

  Taking Shia to the lord's manor, his sister still looked depressed.

  Such things still have to rely on oneself to get through, Li Rui can only try his best to help her.
