“The third way?”

  Black Lotus glowered at Su Li. He just thought of two ways. How could Su Li find another solution?

  Su Li ignored Black Lotus’s question. She stroked the universe ring with her fingertips, and took out a white porcelain bottle. As soon as Black Lotus saw this object, he slightly changed his expression.

  “Illusion-arising Medicine! But this a little dosage isn’t enough!”

  The Illusion-arising Medicine that Su Yuanhai kept secretly was just a half dosage. It was not enough for one person, let alone the two on the ground.

  Su Li shook her head with her eyes shining, “What about I apply the Soul Tactics with the Illusion-arising Medicine?”

  Black Lotus was dumbfounded instantly. He simulated the feasibility of the method that Su Li proposed. Then he said with surprise, “The Illusion-arising Medicine can erase people’s most memories and weaken their souls, so your method may work.”

  “Then let’s give it a shot.”

  Su Li always didn’t like put off her plans. So, she pulled up the cork, fed each of them a half of the Illusion-arising Medicine, and applied the Soul Tactics to manipulate their memories……

  Four hours later, Su Li’s face was slightly pale, but with a hint of a smile.

  Su Dingchuan and Su Chenke stood seriously in front of Su Li like loyal servants. They bowed at the same time, “Master, we are here at your service.”

  Black Lotus looked at them delightedly, “It really worked! You are a genius!”

  When Su Dingchuan and Su Chenke saw Black Lotus, they both felt surprised. But their absolute loyalty to Su Li in their memories restrained their curiosity and kept them remain respectful and silent.

  Su Li pondered for a moment and instructed them, “Both of you go back to the Head Branch of the Su Family. Su Dingchuan, before you go back, find a good reason to kill Su Dingxian who is in the dungeon of the Second Branch, and announce that you support Su Dieyin.”

  After hearing that, Su Dingchuan answered respectfully, “Su Dingxian deserves to die because he offended you, Master. I will do it as you say!”

  Su Li’s eyes shone slightly. She had found that Su Dingchuan and Su Dingxian were siblings and Su Dingchuan had always been spoiling his younger brother as she manipulated his memory before. But what he said at that moment was sincere.

  “I will still be in danger if I encounter the Illusion-arising Medicine.”

  Su Li did not have a good countermeasure to such a tricky poison like the Illusion-arising Medicine, so she could only put the thought away for the moment. She continued to tell Su Chenke, “After you return the Head Branch, take care of Su Yang and Su Mu secretly, but do not reveal the relationship between you and me. And keep an eye on the movements of the Su Family and report to me secretly, understand?”

  “Yes!”

  Su Chenke bowed and answered respectfully. Everything in his memory about Su Li’s past had been erased and only absolute loyalty to Su Li was left.

  “In this case, you two go back now. Remember to camouflage yourselves and don’t be seen.”

  Getting that, they bowed once again and left the adytum rapidly. With their strength in the early stage of Huashen Realm, it was a piece of cake for them to get back to the Su Family unobtrusively.

  Having two more secret helpers, Su Li just narrowed her eyes and wasn’t delighted.

  There was an extremely difficult problem that needed Su Li to solve quickly.

  “Black Lotus, when can we go to the place you mentioned before?”

  Su Li asked suddenly. Black Lotus was startled and then looked embarrassed, “Your present strength is still insufficient for that place.”

  Su Li raised her eyebrows and spoke coldly, “So, you think I can get through nature’s punishment after five months?”

  \r \r \r

  Black Lotus put on a long face, “That’s impossible! You can never stand even the weakest nature’s punishment!”

  “Then why are you still hesitating?” Su Li frowned, “I just don’t believe that there is no secret method to deal with nature’s punishment in the Ghost Clan. Even a move or a half will increase my chance of winning.”

  “What if you can’t get back?”

  Black Lotus asked in a trembling voice. Su Li grinned, “If I can’t get back, I will just die a few months earlier. What’s the difference? After I die, nothing concerns me.”

  She had no another choice. The threat from the mighty demon was like a sword of Damocles hanging over her head, which might fall at any time.

  The appearance of the mighty demon fouled up her plan but brought her one more chance to win.

  Of course, all of those were based on the premise that she could successfully escape nature’s punishment.

  Black Lotus muttered with a long face as he heard the words, “Why did I follow a maniac like you? You were a wise and considerate person in the Reincarnation Mirror. But why do you act as you please in Qingshui Circle?”

  “It’s different.”

  Su Li signed and shook her head. The two worlds were incomparable in strength. If she had played smart in Qingshui Circle, she would have died many times.

  “I will take this gamble whatsoever! Get ready for it. We will go there in ten days.”

  Su Li looked determined. She pushed the door, summoned Hua Yan and Yan Ziye, and released Dongfang Wuxue, who was rebuilding his cultivation.

  “I will leave several months. During this time, you take care of the sect and the Su Family. I have subdued two mighty practitioners of Huashen Realm in the Su Family, so you can be well-informed. If something urgent happens, don’t wait for me and ask Hua Yan for a decision.”

  After Su Li said these, Hua Yan nodded, and Yan Ziye and Dongfang Wuxue also said yes.

  It was only a few months, so no one thought Su Li would be in danger.

  The master was always mysterious and unpredictable in their hearts. Her strength was so unfathomable that nothing could ever stop her.

  Only Hua Yan sensed that Su Li was a little different today. But when she thought Su Li had never lied to her, she also felt at ease.

  After instructing them, Su Li accompanied Jin Ying a half day. Lv You had served Su Li for the longest time, but it was only a few years. So, his cultivation had been strengthened limitedly, and Su Li asked him to stay at Jin Ying’s side to keep the girl safe. At the same time, he could concentrate on his own practice.

  After this period of undisturbed practicing, Lv You’s strength had progressed a lot. Although he did not reach Yuanying Realm, he was close to it.

  After Jin Ying went to sleep, Su Li rushed to the Seventh Branch of the Su Family and talked with Su Yuanhai and Su Yusheng overnight. In the next morning, she appeared in the Second Branch again and summoned Su Dieyin and others for a confidential talk.

  At noon, Su Li exhaled a breath. Facing the shining sun, she narrowed her eyes.

  She got quite a few powers. She didn’t have to do something by herself but still made it, such as subjugating weak sects among the twenty-five sects.

  “There are no more than two practitioners of Huashen Realm in a common sect among the twenty-five sects and just Ling Qinglan can do this.”

  With this thought flashing in her mind, Su Li smiled faintly and went away.

  As soon as her pneuma vanished, Ling Qinglan opened his eyes. His pneuma surged for a moment and spread out with a boom. His body was instantly filled with this terrifying pneuma.

  “Mo! Your cultivation……”

  Yin Xue, who sat in her wheelchair, was very surprised.

  Ling Qinglan nodded gently and said briefly, “I have recovered to the perfect stage of Huashen Realm. And it will be no problem to fight against someone who is in the half stage of the nature’s test. As long as I am pleased, I can take over at least half of the twenty-five sects during Su Li’s absence.”

  As saying that, he looked at the direction that Su Li left, “But it is insufficient to get back our physical bodies.”

  Yin Xue bit her lips and nodded gently. Ling Qinglan’s cultivation was not, as she said before, a half-step away from nature’s test, but already in nature’s test!

  A complex look emerged in her eyes as she gazed at the direction that Ling Qinglan looked. They didn’t tell Su Li everything before. For example, they had not mentioned the so-called physical body.

  “Do you really believe that she is the heir of Su Li?”

  “I don’t know. No one knew what happened to Su Li back then except those two old foxes. However, that footage intercepted by the Yin Family should be true.”

  Hearing that, Yin Xue recalled the scene that the mirror spirit of the Reincarnation Mirror devoured Su Li in that world of ice and snow.

  “Could Su Li have time to leave her legacy in that dangerous situation?”

  Ling Qinglan sighed lightly, “No matter what Su Jiuzhou’s purpose is, she solved my ice toxin and I will help her to achieve her goals. Based on her present behaviors, it really seems that she is getting revenge for Su Li.”

  At this point, cold light filled with his eyes, “Since I have not fully recovered my cultivation and can’t repay all the hatred, I will begin with some small ones!”

  Yin Xue’s heart shuddered and her hands held the armrest firmly. She gathered her courage after being silent for a long time. Then she gritted her teeth and asked, “How can you succeed if you fight alone? Why don’t we ask help from the Hierarch……”

  “Shut up!”

  Ling Qinglan’s look changed abruptly, and his tone became gloomy. He said in a low voice, “He is not the Hierarch and he is…… not worthy!”

  After the Reincarnation Mirror shattered back then, he lost trails of everyone and searched them for years. Only one person’s trail was clear and even didn’t move.

  Shengtian Shrine!

  Lord of Evil!

  Five hundred years ago, Ling Qinglan went to the Shengtian Shrine to ask for an audience, but he was driven out without even entering the main gate. He would never forget that cold and unfeeling face at the gate of the Shengtian Shrine.

  “If you come again, I’ll kill you despite the former relationship!”

  After taking a deep breath, Ling Qinglan barely calmed down and lowered his tone, “I know what I am doing.”

  He did not tell anyone, including Yin Xue, what happened in the Shengtian Shrine. ……

  At this moment, Su Li arrived alone in the Ghost Circle through a teleporting matrix.

  “This place was the core area of the Ghost Clan back then, while it became a place where ghost practitioners gathered. It looked like Lv You’s hometown. What a shame……”

  The cities, villages, and sects in the Ghost Circle were similar to those in Jiuzhou Region, except for their architectural styles. It was not ghostly as Su Li had imagined.

  However, the cultivation level here was much advanced than that in Jiuzhou Region. Practitioners of Zhuji Realm were like ants with a low status, and much less respected than in Jiuzhou Region. Practitioners of Jindan Realm were common as well and just deserved a second glance. While practitioners of Yuanying Realm were highly respected and they were the backbone force in Ghost Circle.

  “This is the place you mentioned, isn’t it?”

  Su Li strolled in a street of a city for practitioners. Looking at the coming and going people in the bustling street, she doubted why this place seemed not to be dangerous as Black Lotus warned.

  Could it be possible that she took the wrong path?

  “Little Su Li, how dare you to doubt my sensation?!”

  Black Lotus noticed the suspicion in Su Li’s eyes and became angry, “I tried my best to lead the way for you, but you are still suspicious of me in the end. You are pissing me off!”

  Black Lotus gave vent to his anger for a moment. And then his gaze met Su Li’s cold eyes, which jolted him. He lowered his voice subconsciously,

  “It is just three hundred feet ahead. The sensation mark is noticeably clear and it is absolutely right!”
