Xia Dai Ti was still wearing that thin long gown, with his legs crossed, sitting there, flipping through documents.

  Unlike Shirin and Aki, those golden-tier women, she had no ornaments on her body, her chestnut hair curled slightly and scattered randomly, her amber eyes shining brightly.

  Li Rui hastily led Xiya in greeting.

  Xia Dai didn't respond and instead asked him an unrelated question:

  "You got along quite well with Nanjing Guardian, why didn't you follow him together?"

  Li Rui's face was flushed: "I'm not an ungrateful person, I've always had you in my heart. Oh right, this is a gift. It was bought at a high price at the auction, it's been put to good use."

  Xia Dai looked at the ferocious "Root of Life Restriction" and raised his head to glance at Li Rui, not knowing if he understood his hint.

  The lady gestured for Li Rui to come forward, then placed her hand on his chest and activated the "Body and Soul Movement".

  "This probing battle skill is incredibly accurate. Xia Dynasty's Ti collected his hand and said, 'Your ether stomach condensation is complete, young man, you're quite fast!'"

  Li Ruiqian: "It's okay, there are some unexpected encounters. Next, just need to slowly adapt the ether into the body circulation."

  Xia Dai Ti chuckled: "Slow and sloppy, I'll help you!"

  As soon as his voice fell, a vast amount of ether poured into Li Rui's body!

  He couldn't help but let out a loud, ear-piercing shriek that startled Xiya.

  Originally wanted to adapt slowly, and then let ether enter slowly. But Xia Dai's rough infusion method made Li Rui feel the long-lost severe pain.

  "Ow ow ow! Be gentle, ah ah ah!"

  Li Rui's whole body was continuously infused with ether, and the intense pain made him unable to speak, and he couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

  Xia hurried forward to take care of him. A blue light emanated from her hands, massaging Li Rui's body like a massage instrument, relieving his pain.

  Xia Dai walked over, pinched Xi Ya's chin and stared at her. The girl's egg-shaped face was delicate and lovely, with slightly frightened big eyes that made people feel pity for her.

  "You're a lovely little beauty. Out of respect for your father... is it your father? You can stay in Green Ridge City, but only as a resident, not to get involved with the city or become Li Rui's official partner, got it?"

  Sia nodded slightly and replied softly: "Understood, I won't trouble you."

  Xia Dai nodded in satisfaction, then used her white feet to kick Li Rui: "Alright, this kid is fine, his physical strength far exceeds imagination. You can retreat now."

  Xiya bowed and retreated, sneaking a glance at the snake person in the corner, feeling somewhat intimidated by the woman.

  ~~~~~

  "Young man, I've saved you a few years of trouble. Don't thank me. Get up, there's something to discuss with you."

  Li Rui cursed inwardly, "When I become a Golden Rank, you'll get the same treatment as me now!"

  After catching his breath, he got up, and his belly looked particularly big, as if he had eaten too much.

  Xia Dai Ti sat back in his chair with his legs crossed again.

  "Although the Ethereal Stomach is not as agile as the Heart, and its explosive power is one level lower, it is still the best choice for you who are not lacking in resources. Not only does it greatly enhance your physique, but it also allows you to start cultivating Golden Stage ahead of time, laying the foundation for promotion."

  After finishing speaking, he floated over the two documents he had just looked at, indicating that Li Rui should take a look.

  Shaking his head to clear it, he examined it carefully. It turned out to be a "war declaration" from the Imperial Family and the Southern Territory attacking each other.

  The Southern Border attacks the royal bloodline is thin, the crown prince was made by demonic means a monster, will be severely punished by His Excellency Markov.

  The imperial family then counterattacked the southern border as a rebellion, and the twins were also born with the help of demonic means. Otherwise, how could there be such a good thing as one fetus giving birth to two golds? They will definitely be executed by Your Majesty.

  Also mixed with excuses to distance themselves from the Northern Territory's Yuanguang Blood Sect.

  Li Rui's heart was clear, and for now, both sides were still in the stage of verbal sparring, vying for allies. He asked: "What do you mean?"

  Xia Dai Ti Mo stroked his clean chin:

  "I've been in contact with several lords I'm familiar with, and we're thinking of taking this opportunity to get our hands on the 'High-Grade Alchemy System' that controls the Imperial Capital's metropolitan area."

  The imperial capital city group relies on its advanced alchemy technology to control high-level alchemy artifacts, using this to exploit other cities.

  Cities like Green Ridge often work hard to get a large amount of raw materials but can only exchange them for a small amount of finished goods.

  For example, nutritional supplements are sold to Green Ridge City for profits of up to ten times or more; let alone extremely effective treatment potions and the like. Some purchases of silver-tier cultivation resources are even restricted.

  Ms. Ai Qi's influence can be so great, and the response is overwhelming, which is also related to this. Other cities have too much resentment towards organizations like "Imperial Capital Alchemy Association".

  This matter is too big, and Li Rui is the only one who has absolute trust in Xia Dai.

  The lady's eyebrows were tightly locked: "If the Dark Oath and the Original Blood Sect are hit, and the resources are monopolized by the Alchemy Association, they will become more and more greedy."

  Although there are personal grudges in this trip to the South Boundary, it is also an opportunity for us. The entire system of alchemy...

  Just as the two were discussing important city strategies, the sky suddenly darkened! Li Ruike had come early in the morning and it was absolutely impossible to turn off the lights at this time... The rhombus has been extinguished!!!!!

  Both of them were high-ranking Transcendents and did not panic.

  Under superhuman perception, Li Rui's hearing, smell and many other senses can replace his eyes, and losing his sight does not hinder him.

  But outside the lord's manor, it was a different story. The entire city had descended into chaos, with screams and shouts filling the air.

  Unlike the previous times, this time the rhinoceros is completely extinguished! The sky and the earth are pitch black, and you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand. The whole world seems to be closed, and it's so dark that people feel suffocated.

  Xia Dai Ti and Li Rui rushed out of the house, and in an instant, the woman turned into two!

  It was as if his soul had left his body, a silver-haired Shadi appeared, his hair dancing in the air, his entire body engulfed in silver flames, and two silver lights shining in his pupils.

  It is Shudaika's battle technique - Soul Rhythm Movement.

  Only to see the spiritual body rushing into the sky and shining brightly in mid-air.

  "Stop panicking!" shouted Xia Dai loudly.

  The sound waves exploded and covered the entire city, and the buildings of the lord's mansion were all shaken with a buzzing noise.

  A spiritual entity in the sky gathered a large amount of ethereal vapor, pressing down on the sky like a physical presence, with an overwhelming momentum! The commotion in the city suddenly came to a halt.

  Li Rui waved at Xia Dai's physical body and then pulled Xi Ya, who was waiting outside, to hurry back home, in case something happened to Mei Er and Li Na.

  The city hall immediately dispatched personnel to turn on the night lighting equipment, and the guards patrolled the streets. Their faces were also full of panic, but much better than ordinary civilians.

  Everyone looked up at the rhombic sun in the sky, expecting it to shine soon.

  Diamonds have been shining for 2000 years, occasionally coming out with a small problem is harmless.

  But this time... it still didn't light up.

  A sleepless night of anxiety passed, and nearly an hour later than usual, the sun finally rose.

  But even ordinary people can clearly feel it, it has darkened...
