All heavens, the destiny that begins with the path of martial arts

In the Thunder Palace, Shi Li stood under the throne, staring at the gate in a daze, still holding the token of the Thunder Palace in his hand.

She didn't know what she was thinking, she was just in a daze, with Hu Shatian's words echoing in her ears.

......

"I trust you, so I will give you the token."

"But......"

"Are you going to betray the trust that the king has placed in you?"

"No, I'm just worried that I can't protect it well..."

"If the king says you can, then you can, don't think too much."

"The Blue Scorpion will definitely do something. You must always keep an eye on him. If necessary, you can activate the Thunder Grid. I believe that with your strength, it should not be a problem to deal with him."

"Yes, Marshal!"

......

Shi Li kept Hu Shatian's words firmly in his mind, took a deep breath and put the token away.

"Shili, you are here"

The door opened, and Orange Shadow walked in, and immediately saw Shi Li in a daze.

"what happened?"

Shi Li came back to his senses and watched the orange shadow in his optical mirror flash.

"What is the mission assigned by the Marshal?"

Cheng Liuying scratched his head. When Hu Shatian left, he did not tell them what to do. He only told Shi Li. This made Cheng Liuying feel that there was something fishy going on.

"Come here, I'll talk to you"

Shi Li hooked his finger with an indifferent expression. Cheng Liuying did not doubt and walked forward without any precautions.

"What did the Marshal say... Hey hey hey!! Why did you tie me up?!"

Cheng Liuying looked at Shi Li who had tied him up in confusion and couldn't help but yell.

"Hush, this is part of the Marshal's order, don't ruin his good deeds"

Shi Li held the chain with one hand and kicked on the orange spear shadow to tighten the chain.

But Cheng Liuying looked at Shi Li with an expression of "are you kidding me?", obviously not believing it. He would rather believe that this was some kind of bad taste of Shi Li.

"Okay, just be quiet for a while, and I'll let you go when this is over."

Shi Li stared at the orange spear shadow and spoke after a long while.

"What on earth is that?"

Orange Spear Shadow was confused as to why everything was so mysterious.

Shi Li said nothing, walked slowly behind Cheng Liuying, and slashed at him with a knife. Cheng Liuying's optical glasses instantly widened, and then he passed out.

"This time, we must sacrifice something, but it won't be you. You still have to continue to assist the Marshal..."

Shi Li whispered a few words, then pulled Orange Spear Shadow behind the throne and hid him, making sure that no one could see him before walking back to the throne.

Looking around the hall, Shi Li walked towards the door reluctantly.

"Where is Shili going?"

The door opened, and behind it stood the Blue Scorpion, who looked at Shi Li with a sinister smile.

"none of your business?"

Shi Li frowned and walked out, passing the blue scorpion.

"Now that Shi Li has obtained the token, we can take action now."

The faint voice coming from behind made Shili's optical mirror shrink and his steps paused.

"how do you know!"

Shi Li turned his head, and his rose-red optical glasses, the same as Hu Shatian's, emanated a chill.

“Hey, I’ve seen it.”

The Blue Scorpion then turned around slowly, not worried at all even though he was being stared at by Shi Li.

"Also, I have already informed General Zichen that he is coming."

The Blue Scorpion rubbed his hands, smiled sinisterly, then looked at Shi Li again, ignoring Shi Li's murderous gaze.

"You better prepare yourself."

After leaving a light-hearted remark, the Blue Scorpion ignored Shi Li and walked out.

"..."

Shi Li stared at the back of the Blue Scorpion, clenched his hands, and the scarlet murderous intent was leaked, but he soon thought of something and fell into a dilemma.

“I’m sorry, but this is a necessary sacrifice.”

After a long time, Shi Li sighed helplessly, his tone full of sadness.

After receiving the news from the Blue Scorpion, Zi Chen, who was far away in the City of the Undead, immediately led the Ice Wolf Beasts towards the Thunder Palace, and several Black Dragon Beasts followed him, which was enough to show how much the War Dragon Emperor valued Zi Chen.

The flying dragon was very fast and it arrived at the territory of Thunder Palace in just half a day.

Without the command of Hu Shatian and Fei Tianhu, the Black Lion Tiger would undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow when facing the Ice Wolf Beast Legion.

"Hmph, I hope Hu Shatian likes the gift from the City of the Dead."

Zi Chen sneered and ordered the Ice Wolf Beast Legion to attack.

The individual strength of the Ice Wolf Beast far exceeds that of any other species in the Central Plains, especially the Black Lion Tiger. The strength they are proud of is useless under the sky advantage and freezing bombs, and only death awaits them.

Zi Chen was flying in the sky and watching all this indifferently. Occasionally he heard shouting in his ears. When he listened carefully he found that it was the black lions and tigers who were looking for Cheng Liuying and Shi Li.

"Where is Deputy General Orange Spear Shadow?!"

"I can't find it! I can't find it anywhere!!"

"Where's Shili? Where is Shili?"

"No one saw her. No one knows where she went..."

"Where's that bastard Blue Scorpion?"

"He ran away..."

"Blue Scorpion, you ???????"

......

Zi Chen's eyes flickered slightly and he no longer looked at the situation on the battlefield because it had already been determined.

They flew past the Thunder Palace and headed northeast towards the distant wasteland, where they had agreed to meet.

When he arrived at the wasteland, he saw the white figure from afar. As for the blue scorpion next to it, he ignored it.

"Good job, Shili."

After landing, Zi Chen looked at Shi Li and praised him, but Shi Li did not look that happy.

Zi Chen didn't know where Shi Li's sadness came from. Shi Li didn't say anything, so Zi Chen didn't say anything either.

The Blue Scorpion looked at the two silent people and suddenly felt like a light bulb. He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, turned around silently and left this place full of dog food.

Now only Zi Chen and Shi Li were left. Shi Li stood there blankly, with her head down so that her expression could not be seen clearly.

Zi Chen looked at Shi Li at a loss. What should he do now? How should he do it?

After being confused for a while, Shi Li raised his head. There was not much expression on his face, and he still looked cold.

"Token, here you go"

Shi Li threw the token to Zi Chen, then walked towards the City of the Undead without looking back.

"Eh?"

Zi Chen hurriedly caught the token, took a look at it, and then hurriedly chased after him.

"You look unhappy?"

Zi Chen walked behind Shi Li and asked cautiously.

"no"

Shi Li didn't look back and just kept walking. His tone was colder than usual and Zi Chen could hear it immediately.

But he didn't know what to say or do to make Shili feel better.

After hesitating for a long time, Zi Chen took a deep breath, bravely walked to Shi Li's side, synchronized with her, then stretched out his hand stiffly and held Shi Li's hand.

In fact, when this thought appeared in his mind, Zi Chen already regretted it, but his uncontrollable pulling of Shi Li made him regret it even more, and his brain was working at a very fast speed.

What if Shili hates me? What if she ignores me in the future? What if...

He had already prepared for the worst, and his face showed a look of ready death.

But the expected beating and scolding did not happen. Zi Chen glanced down with the corner of his eye and saw Shi Li looking at him with his head tilted, but he did not show any disgust at his behavior.

In response, Zi Chen blushed and his body heated up from nervousness.

Although Shili appears to be normal on the outside, he is actually very complicated on the inside.

Does Zi Chen like her? Of course he likes her, she has known it for a long time, even his attraction to her was planned by her.

This was done simply to allow her to gain more convenience in the City of the Undead, and the result was good. Except for the War Dragon Emperor, almost everyone had no defenses against her. Everything came from Zi Chen's preference.

She had been using Zi Chen from the very beginning, but she did it perfectly, and the Dragon Emperor didn't notice it. He just thought Zi Chen was just being interesting for a while.

but now......

Shi Li looked at Zi Chen and a trace of pity flashed through his heart.

Being used by her, deceived by her, becoming worthless, will I die in her hands in the end?

After living together for two hundred years, there is some affection between them, especially Zi Chen's meticulous care for her, but... we can only blame it on the fact that they are in different camps.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine"

Zi Chen seemed to notice Shi Li's emotional changes. He carefully held Shi Li's hand and comforted him softly.

"You got the token, and the marshal will reward you. Even if it's amethyst, the marshal will reward you."

Zi Chen looked ahead with a relaxed tone, as if he was really happy for Shi Li.

"By the way, if you have anything you want, you can tell me. As long as I can get it, I will definitely give it to you."

"The Deep Sea is calm now. I heard there are many sparkling stones on the shore of the Deep Sea. Do you like them? I'll bring some back for you."

"I can also take you to the Land of Snow and Wind to see the snow. I have never seen falling snow, so I don't know if it looks good..."

......

Zi Chen was talking about many things happily, and he didn't notice that Shi Li's expression was getting more and more depressed, lost and regretful.

"Shi Li, after we go back this time, I hope to take you out to have a good time for a few days. I wonder if you are willing to..."

呲!

A sharp pain came from behind, causing Zi Chen to pause for a moment, and a feeling of loss of strength came over him, causing him to stagger.

Turning his head, he saw Shi Li holding a silver dagger, and the dagger had already penetrated his back, as if even the backup hidden energy source had been damaged.

Shi Li didn't dare to look at Zi Chen, but she didn't question him or get angry. She looked up and only saw confusion and disbelief in Zi Chen's optical mirror, as if he was asking her why.

"I'm sorry, Zi Chen, I lied to you. I belong to Hu Sha Tian from the beginning. I have always been using you. I'm sorry for letting your feelings go to waste in the East China Sea."

Shi Li had a forced smile on her face. She thought Zi Chen would be angry, but no. Zi Chen just looked at her, his optics dimmed, filled with great sadness. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing.

He raised his hand, and Shi Li subconsciously stepped back, but there was no hurt. All that was left was Zi Chen's final hug for her.

The first time and the last time.

He did not blame Shi Li. If anything, it was only him who was to blame. It was he who fell in love with Shi Li, but he was willing.

However, it’s a pity that we no longer have the chance to complete the things he said.
