Mortal Mirror

Hearing this from inside the blood bead, Ji Wuming sneered, "Humph, didn't expect you to be such a tough nut to crack, truly beyond my expectations. To be honest, I admire people with your kind of character, willing to die for your woman. Alright, I appreciate that about you.

Therefore, I can agree to your conditions, but in exchange, you must also promise me that when the time comes, you will cooperate with me in entering the Divine Demon Cave, and you must not have any reservations."

Although Li Ergou didn't know what he was being asked to do, was there anything more terrifying than death? So, he agreed without any hesitation.

He immediately said, "Okay, it's a deal."

Ji Wuming didn't waste any time, and he began chanting a mysterious incantation within the stone bead. Before long, Li Ergou saw a red ray of divine consciousness rapidly approaching from afar, its speed astonishing.

After the red light returned, Ji Wuming said, "Boy, I have already lifted the woman's seal. Now, you can come with me willingly, right?"

Li Ergou's face showed joy, "Okay."

In Fish City, inside the yamen, a group of people were anxiously watching Bai Su, but they all wore helpless expressions. The sealing power on her sealed spirit was incredibly strong, and even the county commandant and chief constable were powerless.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, they saw a red divine light fly out from Bai Su's forehead, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was slightly surprised, wondering what was happening.

At the same time, Bai Su let out a soft moan, and then she opened her eyes.

"Where is Li Ergou?" This was the first thing she said.

Seeing her regain consciousness, everyone was overjoyed, especially the county commandant, who felt a sense of relief. After all, while others didn't know the little girl's identity, he knew it very well.

If something happened to this girl here, he would be unable to escape blame. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he asked with concern, "Bai Su, you've finally woken up.

If you hadn't, I would have had to take you to your master."

Bai Su ignored the county commandant and continued to ask, "Where is Li Ergou?"

The crowd exchanged glances. Everyone present was a big shot; who knew anything about some Ergou? For a moment, they were all confused.

The chief constable immediately called out to Chen Bajin, who was at the back of the crowd, "Where is Li Ergou?"

Chen Bajin sneered inwardly. This woman had only fainted, but his brother Ergou had gone to his death! People really couldn't be compared. Now they remembered his poor brother Ergou!

Although he felt indignant for Li Ergou, Chen Bajin still put on a smiling face and said, "Sir, Li Ergou has gone out. He didn't say where he was going, but he should be safe for the time being."

Bai Su sighed and said, "No, he's in danger. I have to go find him."

The county commandant immediately said, "Bai Su, don't be impulsive. Shouldn't you tell us what happened first, so we can at least have some idea of what's going on?"

Hearing this, Bai Su understood that even if she went out, she probably wouldn't be able to find him. And even if she did find him, what then? Would she let others use her to threaten him again?

With this thought, she finally calmed down. After a moment, she looked at the crowd and explained the matter of the Seven-Colored Gold Crystal Fish in detail.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected the fish monster incident to be so troublesome. According to Bai Su, that guy's cultivation was heaven-defying. A single glance had sealed the divine consciousness of a Golden Core expert like Bai Su. Which of those present was a match for that guy?

The county commandant seemed to remember something and immediately ordered someone to fetch the Fish City County Records to look up. He seemed to recall that this matter had been recorded in the past.

Bai Su looked at the panicked crowd, feeling a strange mix of emotions in her heart. She wondered how Li Ergou was doing at this moment.

At this moment, Li Ergou was looking at the large locust tree in front of him with a surprised expression. He didn't know why Ji Wuming had brought him here.

The locust tree was incredibly huge. It was unknown how many years it had lived; in any case, it was a witness to Fish City's existence, as if it had stood here since ancient times.

The locust tree was lush and verdant, with many fireflies hidden among its leaves. Their tails flickered, illuminating the entire locust tree beautifully, like a starry sky.

Li Ergou remained silent for a moment, looking at the equally silent blood bead, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring me here? Don't tell me you just wanted to look at a tree."

Ji Wuming inside the blood bead slowly said, "It's not an ordinary locust tree. This tree has existed for tens of thousands of years and is an extraordinary being."

Li Ergou asked in surprise, "So powerful? Why hasn't it become a tree demon?"

Ji Wuming snorted, "Tree demon? It's beyond a tree demon. It's hard to explain to you now. Once you go with me to that place, you'll understand everything."

Li Ergou became even more agitated. It seemed this guy was determined to take him away from here, not letting him live.

He looked back at the world behind him, wondering if this would be the last time he saw it. A complex feeling welled up in his heart.

Seeing Li Ergou like this, Ji Wuming inside the blood bead said disdainfully, "What's there to miss? The place I'm taking you to is where cultivators should go. Only there can you become stronger.

Although it's dangerous there, isn't it also a great opportunity? If you're lucky enough, it's not impossible to raise your cultivation by a level."

Li Ergou asked strangely, "Is there really such an amazing place in the world?"

Ji Wuming snorted, "There's a lot you don't know. Let's go. Today, I'll take you to see the world."

Although Li Ergou was unwilling, he followed Ji Wuming's instructions and came to the front of the large locust tree. He wondered if the locust tree contained some hidden universe.

With doubts in his heart, he followed the incantation Ji Wuming had told him, stepping on the Seven Star Steps, walking around the large locust tree in a specific pattern. When he returned to the starting point, he had taken exactly forty-nine steps.

Taking the last step and returning to the origin, he shouted, "Hurry!"

He moved his hand seals and shot a divine light towards the large locust tree. This divine light was formed by a secret technique and transformed into a rune in mid-air, slapping onto the trunk of the large locust tree.

Li Ergou stared intently at the large locust tree, wondering what miracle would occur.

The large locust tree hummed, and countless black rays of light emerged from its trunk. These rays of light gathered in front of the tree, eventually forming a black portal-like circle, slowly rotating open.

Li Ergou's heart trembled inexplicably. He never imagined it would be like this. This door looked incredibly deep and mysterious, a gateway to the unknown for Li Ergou.

He took a deep breath, and urged by Ji Wuming, he stepped into it.
