Back to one day ago, Li Shu provided Li Mu and Xiao Momomaru with detailed information about Yamata no Orochi, and then returned to Amancong City alone.
She is still very confident in the combat effectiveness of her two companions. Now that time is tight and the tasks are heavy, only by maximizing everyone's efficiency can it be possible to stop Dong Penglai before they master the means of mass destruction.
Under this situation, everyone in the team wanted to break themselves into two pieces and use them, so Li Shu and the others chose to act separately, but this form of method also represented greater risks.
Returning to the city in a hurry, Li Shu wanted to destroy the information she collected and the traces of her stay, and then hurriedly set off for her next destination.
Her temporary residence is an inconspicuous small tile-roofed house, hidden deep in the downtown area. Usually there are many people coming and going, so it is quite hidden and very suitable for a short-term stay.
Adhering to caution, Li Shu did not enter the house through the front door. Instead, she made a large circle and made sure that no one was around before climbing in through the window in the backyard of the tile-roofed house.
When he walked to the front door and saw that the "small mechanism" he had set up when he left had not been triggered, the elder of the Fantasy Sect finally felt relieved. He sat on the simple bed, picked up the coarse porcelain teapot and drank.
Several big mouthfuls.
The clear water flowed into her throat, which felt indescribably comfortable, but as Li Shu wiped her mouth and prepared to get up, she suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.
"No, there's something wrong with the water."
As an elder of the Huancai Sect, this was by no means the first day Li Shu had traveled across the world, but it was the first time she had gone deep behind enemy lines like this. She was extremely cautious, but she didn't expect that she would get caught in the end.
He tried his best to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth in the boundless sea, trying to control the toxins in his body, but obviously the person who took action was well prepared. The poison in the water was not only colorless and odorless, but also extremely targeted.
In an instant, Li Shu's meridians were locked, cutting off the supply of vitality. Dizziness came like a tide, the scene in front of her gradually began to blur, and even her limbs no longer obeyed her control.
Finally, after struggling for more than ten breaths, Li Shu finally fell to the ground. In a daze, she heard someone push open the door and come to her, and then she was carried on his shoulders.
When she woke up again, Li Shu found that she had been tied up in a dark room. Not only was she restrained by thick fine iron chains, but the constant feeling of weakness in her body also made her unable to fight back, and she could only watch angrily.
Several figures not far away.
"There are no boundless realm masters like you in Xi Penglai, so you are a member of the Cangyun Empire Expeditionary Force, right? What is the purpose of your team sneaking into our East Penglai? I advise you to speak up quickly to save yourself the pain.
Unnecessary torture."
The man who walked over was about forty years old, wearing the uniform of a senior officer from Dong Penglai, with a full head of messy hair and shocking scars on his face. Li Shu knew the identity of the man at a glance.
It turned out that it was not the men in black robes from the "Blood" organization who captured her, but the military forces from Dong Penglai. However, how these people knew about her movements was still a mystery to Li Shu.
"You sect monks from the Cangyun Empire are always born to look aloof. Do you think this scar was left by your Yunlan sect monks in Qinglan City? I can escape with my life."
, I just thought that I would take revenge on you one day."
"Now that you are in our hands, you will definitely not be able to survive. But if you want to suffer less torture before you die, just tell us what we want to know. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive or die."
.”
The man grabbed Li Shu's hair and threatened her fiercely in her ear. His other hand was not idle, and was actually walking back and forth on the body of the elder of the Symphony Sect.
The other Dong Penglai soldiers in the room also showed disgusting smiles. For these military gangsters, a female monk of the Infinite Realm from the Cangyun Empire was the perfect target for torture.
"Come here if you can. You demons and invaders. None of the monks in Cangyun Empire are weak. If you want to ask anything from me, just dream."
Although her body was weak and weak, Li Shu still showed great courage and iron-clad strength in the face of the insults from enemy soldiers. In her opinion, monks can die in battle, but they must not betray their faith.
"Okay, I want to see how hard your bones can be. Come here, you guys, let this noble monk from the Cangyun Empire taste the power of our Penglai men."
The man in military uniform smiled coldly and handed Li Shu directly to the remaining people in the room. They were obviously eager to wait and see what happened. As soon as these Dongpenglai soldiers got the order, they pounced on her like wolves.
Li Mu and Xiao Taomaru traveled under the stars and night, but due to the constant need to avoid the patrol troops from Dong Penglai on the way, when they arrived at Yuncong City, the sky was already turning fish belly white.
"Elder Li Shu's location is in the east market area of the city. At this time, things should have been sorted out. After we met, we hurried to meet Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Jin."
On the way back, Li Mu and the others received a "text message" from Bai Jingting, saying that they had discovered traces of the nine-tailed demon fox. As the most powerful monster in Penglai mythology, it has always been the team's key target.
Now that the clues about Yamata no Orochi have been cut off, Li Mu and Xiao Momomaru finally decided to go with Li Shu to the location of the nine-tailed demon fox to assist Bai Jingting and the others in defeating the "Blood" organization's conspiracy against this big demon.
But when the two of them approached the stronghold assigned by Li Shu, an ominous premonition suddenly flooded Li Mu's heart.
"Wait, don't go there."
Although this feeling was fleeting, Li Mu, who had been saved many times by this inexplicable intuition, still grabbed Xiao Taomaru.
"What's wrong? What did you notice?"
Xiao Momomaru was also alert, and quickly lowered his body and hid in the shadows under the eaves with Li Mu, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding situation.
"I can't explain it clearly, it's just a very bad feeling. Let's put on our cloaks first, then split up to check out the surroundings. We'll meet here after making sure it's safe."
"Be careful. If you encounter an ambush, don't fight. This is the city of Dong Penglai. If you are surrounded, you will be in trouble."
Li Mu frowned. He didn't know why, but he had a very bad feeling in his heart. He took out his shadow cloak, activated the active effect of Shadow Trace with Xiao Taomaru, and headed towards the left and right in two directions.
