“Whoa! A natural oddity?” Li Yu looked at the small ball condensed from lightning in surprise.
He did not expect that the thing that struck this unlucky guy was a natural oddity.
The purple lightning dragon rushed over as well. Its eyes were shining as it looked at the True Essence Divine Thunder.
“You want it?” Li Yu asked.
He knew that the purple lightning flood dragon used lightning-elemental magic power. This true essence divine thunder was definitely beneficial to it.
“Yes, Master, are you willing to bestow it to me?” the flood dragon said in the human language.
This true essence divine thunder could allow its magic power to undergo a qualitative change, giving it even more lightning power.
It could even help it break the shackles of its bloodline and take another step towards the True Dragon realm.
“Okay, we’ll see how you perform from now on!” Li Yu kept the true essence divine thunder into the system space.
The purple lightning flood dragon had only just submitted to him not long ago, so he could not give such a rare object to it for free.
Delayed satisfaction produces obedient mounts.
“Thank you, master. Little Purple will do anything for you in the future!” the flood dragon said, but it got somewhat disappointed.
Regardless, it knew that Li Yu did not trust it yet.
Thus, it had to work hard in the future to obtain its master’s trust.
After putting away the True Essence Divine Thunder, Li Yu bent down to check on Gu Yuqi.
This unlucky fellow was severely injured, but he was still alive.
The charred wound was healing at a visible speed. It seemed like the Ancient
God Body was truly freakish.
He did not die even after being hit by such a natural oddity!
Speaking of which, I wonder if this fellow is lucky or unlucky!
He was shot down from the sky and thrown into my fire pit.
Then, he used my help to escape.
He was just about to leave when he got struck by lightning.
And he encountered the natural oddity, True Essence Divine Thunder.
He's one intriguing son of destiny.
“Alright, since the heavens sent you back to me, it means that we’re fated to
meet. I’ll bring you back!” Li Yu put out the fire.
He threw Gu Yuqi onto the back of the purple lightning dragon and tied him up
with a rope to prevent him from falling.
As for himself, he sat cross-legged on the head of the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon and ate the mutton while driving it towards the Great Xia Dynasty.
When Li Yu returned to the Qingyun Sect, it was already into the morning.
At the moment, the disciples were practicing in the morning. When they saw Li Yu return, they bowed with cupped hands.
Li Yu handed the unconscious Gu Yuqi to two disciples and said, “Bring him to a room to recuperate!”
Many simple bamboo houses have been temporarily built in the Daoist temple for the disciples to live in.
After all, they could not always sleep outside. Furthermore, it was not convenient since there were many female disciples around.
The two disciples looked at the charred Gu Yuqi and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh heavens, Senior Brother. Was this guy on fire?”
“How tragic, even his hair was burnt!”
“Nope, he got struck by lightning!” Li Yu added casually.
The two disciples looked at each other and got more surprised.
Right then, Ji Qjnglan walked over quickly and cupped his hands. “Senior Brother, you’re back. Have you seen my father? How did it go?”
After Li Yu left, Ji Qinglan’s mind was filled with the meeting. He was afraid that his father would anger Li Yu again. And Li Yu would raze the palace to the ground.
Now Li Yu had finally returned.
“Mmm, it was a pleasant chat with your father. Oh yes, if nothing goes wrong, your brother should enter our Qingyun Sect in a few days. Your father is afraid that you’ll be lonely, so he’ll give you a companion!” Li Yu informed Ji Qinglan with a smile.
Two days later, good news arrived from the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Xi Liang Dynasty’s army had retreated.
Soon, the Xi Liang Dynasty’s envoy traveled to the Great Xia Dynasty to pay a visit to Murong Cang and return the lands that originally belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Another group of people rushed to the Qingyun Sect from Xi Liang with lavish gifts and Ji Wanjie.
The sudden return of their former territory delighted Murong Cang.
“As expected of the Grand Xia Dynasty’s Guardian Master! Li Yu is truly a godly man!” Murong Cang was enlivened.
Over the years, Great Xia had been restrained by Xi Liang, and it was forced to repeatedly seek peace through ceding land. Today, it could finally hold its head up high and recover its lost territory.
All of this was Li Yu’s credit.
Murong Cang was at a loss on how to show his gratitude to Li Yu. “Pass down my decree to announce Li Yu’s achievements in public. Along with such a joyous occasion. In the next three years, taxes and corvee will be reduced by half, and I proclaim a general amnesty!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
At the same time, at the Qingyun Sect mountain gate.
Li Yu inventoried the wealth sent from the Xi Liang Dynasty happily, and he could not stop smiling.
Ji Qinglan was also smiling.
“Ninth Brother, I can’t believe Father sent you here. This is brilliant. You’re finally free!” ji Qinglan was delighted to see Ji Wanjie.
Among the princes, Ji Wanjie had the closest relationship with him.
Back then, after Ji Wanjie got entrapped into the Cold Palace, Ji Qinglan had always been secretly protecting him. He had always hoped that his ninth brother could regain his freedom one day.
He did not expect to reunite with his brother in this way.
For Ji Wanjie, this was another form of rebirth.
“Welcome to our Qingyun Sect!” Li Yu smirked as he looked at Ji Wanjie.
This boy looked talented and was on par with Ji Qinglan. It was just that his expression did not seem too happy.
However, Ji Wanjie-the Blood Spirit Monarch looked at Li Yu with a smile uglier than crying.
He cursed in his heart, not knowing if he should say it.
After running around in circles, how did I end up back in the Great Xia Dynasty and even get sent to the Qingyun Sect!
What kind of magical fate is this!
The Blood Spirit Monarch was on the verge of tears.
Yesterday, a man named Gulan and a woman named Yu Feng suddenly came to the Cold Palace and informed him that His Majesty ordered them to escort him to a place.
They did not tell him the exact location and only told him after they reached the destination.
Gu Lan was a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, so the Blood Spirit Monarch did not dare act rashly.
After all, he had not fully fused with the new body yet, and he was still weak.
If he did anything abnormal, it would arouse their suspicion.
Therefore, he played along and obediently left the Xi Liang Dynasty with Yu
Feng and Perfected Gu Lan.
Little did he expect to be sent to the Qingyun Sect of the Great Xia Dynasty in the end.
He was delivered right to Li Yu!
Anything he was afraid of had come true!
If Li Yu knew his true identity, he would surely be killed with one strike.
Therefore, the Blood Spirit Monarch was panicking inside.
Indeed, he had possessed Ji Wanjie and fused a portion of his memories. He could disguise himself as Ji Wanjie and hide his identity.
Yet, who knew if the Heavenly Dao Rankings would expose his true identity?
My Blood Spirit Sword! I have to hurry up and send it out of the Great Xia.
Otherwise, the Divine Weapon Rankings might expose me!
For the first time in tens of thousands of years, he felt that his Blood Spirit Sword had become a hot potato.
