Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

The river surface returned to calmness, without the initial severed limbs and rotten corpses, and the subsequent misty blood color.

The entire river has returned to its original appearance. The morning sun shines on the sparkling river surface, reflecting the broken gold all over the river.

If it weren't for the city's ruins, collapsed walls, and crumbling riverbanks that could prove what had happened before.

It seemed like a normal morning.

Li Daoxuan sat at the top of the city, looking at the boundless scenery. After watching it for a while, he felt that that was all... he was probably still tired.

A huge and ferocious snake head suddenly popped out of the jungle to the west. The snake's head was definitely coming back after Li Daoxuan came back.

The python also crawled over with its remaining body, got close, and gently touched Li Daoxuan with its huge snake head.

Sensing the emotion coming from the python, Li Daoxuan smiled and reached out to touch its snake head.

"It's not that you are useless, it's just that this opponent is too strong, even me is useless."

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to take the python back and let it recover from its injuries in his hand.

He called up the panel.

[Name: Li Daoxuan]

[Sequence: Level 3·Pig Killer (promoted to Hand)]

[Field: Level 1] (radius eight feet)

[Vulgar utensils: pig butcher's knife, meat hook (three internal organs, common utensil), dog leash (two internal organs, common utensil), coffin nails]

【Shouyuan: 300】

[Qi and blood: 56.6]

【Believers: 190】

[Common skills: Devouring territory, dismembering corpses, tying pigs, bleeding, disemboweling, shaving, burning with oil, stealing people, skillful hands with empty hands, traveling thousands of miles, fairness, carrying weights, promotion, knowledge of all things, immorality, wall-piercing skills , Consciousness Qi (residual)】

[Combat power: 1688 (???)]

[Survival point: 120 (blue)]

He originally had more than 70 qi and blood, but now he only had more than 50 left. Li Daoxuan didn't even look at how many times he had been [dismembered].

Anyway, if it doesn't work, just cut the body into pieces with one knife.

His energy and blood dropped, and his combat power also dropped a lot.

But fortunately, the panel saw that he might be working too hard and gave him a lot of survival points.

At that time, he couldn't spare his mind to care about these things, but now he could just make up for his shortfall.

Just when he was thinking about adding some points, another text popped up on the panel.

[Resurrecting from the ruins of the secular world, walking in this ancient world reshaped by the gods of cows, horses and snakes, the greedy pig butcher survived death. 】

[Perhaps it’s because of your profound merit that you were saved when you were supposed to be shattered, but you got a helping hand from the ancient Winter and Spring Official in the middle-ninth-rate world. 】

[You have solved the originally impossible Shadow River River Mother. Your survival points +100 (blue). 】

Look at the words on the panel and the unprecedented survival point at the end.

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the biggest crisis that had been trapped in his heart, the Shadow River River Mother, was finally solved.

If you still stay in this witch city, you don't have to worry about some unsolvable problem suddenly popping up while you're sleeping.

Just as he was thinking about it, a snow-white stream of light swept from the southwest, finally landed not far in front of him, and stood still.

It's still Bai Jun in a white dress.

His face and appearance were exactly the same as when Li Daoxuan left, only his temperament... changed.

If she used to be like a little secretary serving tea, pouring water, and warming the bed beside the leader, then now she looks like a strong woman.

She has a very strong temperament, and it seems like no one can be above her.

Such Bai Jun made Li Daoxuan feel... strange.

"What? Master doesn't recognize me now?"

Bai Jun didn't come close, he just stood there, looking at Li Daoxuan with a half-smile, and the joke in his words was also very strong.

Li Daoxuan was sitting cross-legged at the top of the city, and he was not embarrassed. He smiled openly and replied: "We know you. No one who forgets will forget you."

Seeing that Bai Jun had no intention of speaking, Li Daoxuan asked again: "Can I ask... when did you recover?"

Li Daoxuan got the human-faced ghost from the ghost inn. It was useless at first until he met Bai Jun later.

Therefore, Bai Jun must not have woken up at the beginning. Those who followed Li Daoxuan at that time were always evil-faced ghosts.

Li Daoxuan also remembered that there are no men or women in human-faced ghosts, and men and women can speak freely.

And this was the main reason why he didn't dare to attack Bai Jun at first... But these are all in the past, and the person standing in front of him now is no longer a human-faced ghost.

But... Bai Jun.

In the world of Zhongjiu, the Dongchun official of Chu State... Bai Jun.

Hearing his question, Bai Jun put his hands behind his back, tapped the ground gently with his feet, and said shyly: "Master, do you really think that an evil spirit that is not even a Class A evil spirit can suppress me?"

Hearing this most impossible answer, Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, then why?"

"why?"

Bai Jun raised her head and took a step forward. Snowflakes fell around her body, and her whole aura suddenly changed, turning back into the charming maid she was before.

She came to Li Daoxuan in two steps, holding Li Daoxuan's arm as before, "Master saved me, this is the biggest reason."

"Is there any emotion that is more important than the kindness of saving a life?"

"Master has given me a second life."

Li Daoxuan could only smile bitterly when he heard this.

This reason, at first glance, sounds reasonable and quite true, but if you think about it carefully... you are coaxing your children.

When Bai Jun saw this, he knew that his reasons could not convince him.

But she didn't let go, she just tilted her head and looked at Li Daoxuan and said, "Then what do you think the reason is, Master?"

Li Daoxuan did not ask any riddles like her, but said directly: "Although it is unlikely, I do feel so... you have a plot against me."

After that, he added another sentence.

"And it's big."

When Bai Jun heard this, he finally put away the smile on his face, took a step back slowly, and returned to his previous state.

"Sure enough, the master is the master... I can say that this is indeed the case, but I can't say what it is exactly yet."

"But the master will definitely know after he goes to the middle-nine-level world."

"Don't worry, it will definitely have no impact on the master. It may even be of great help."

Li Daoxuan nodded, "Okay, then I'll remember it."

He didn't ask much, mainly because he couldn't win...there was no point in asking. He would naturally know everything when he went to the middle-9 world.

"So now you have first-class strength and can go to the middle-9 world?" Li Daoxuan was curious about this.

He had seen many people who came down from Zhongjiu, but he had never seen those who were going up.

"It's true that I can go to the ninth level, but it's not the first level. I'm not following the path of a grain eater... To be precise, I got my official position back, so I can naturally go back."

Bai Jun did not hide anything from Li Daoxuan.

"Then what's your approach?" Li Daoxuan asked because he didn't understand.

"The official rank system is only found in the middle and ninth-level world. Except for the path of the grain eater, this is what promotion and wealth are."

After saying this, Li Daoxuan understood something. After thinking about it for a while, he discovered something wrong.

"Then in this official rank system, the strongest person is the emperor? Where does the power of your official rank system... come from?"

Those who eat grain eat the grain of the world. There are etiquette and rules for promotion, and there are traces to follow, but this official ranking system... there must be a source, right?
"Authority, authority over mountains and rivers... The more the emperor controls the mountains and rivers, the greater the authority and the stronger the strength. And all our sources of strength come from the emperor."

Bai Jun's words were very heavy.

Li Daoxuan laughed and said: "So, the grain eater is in the ninth rank... not easy to get along with?"

"It's better not to be a low-ranking person." Bai Jun nodded.

Li Daoxuan could guess this... The reason is also very obvious. Officials in the middle and ninth-level world definitely don't have the ability to commit the following crimes.

After all, everyone's power comes from the emperor, but as a grain eater of another path... they have the ability to kill the emperor.

In this case, as the lords of a country and those who are at the top of the middle-9 world, they naturally do not want grain eaters to grow up and gain the power to threaten themselves.

"Interesting." Li Daoxuan found it very interesting when he thought about what Zhongjiu Liu would face.

Isn't it just a fight...the more chaotic the better.

Otherwise, when we get to the world of middle and ninth-level, we have to go through the process of lower-9 and lower-level all over again. How tiring would that be?

"By the way, where is this middle-level world...? How to get there?" Li Daoxuan has always been curious about this.

Now that Bai Jun has been exposed, he must ask.

"This...it's not easy to say. I've said it now. It won't help the master to advance to the first level."

"This can only be realized by the master himself. After he realizes it, he can go to the middle and ninth-level world. As I said now, the master lacks this enlightenment process, and he may even be unable to go there."

Bai Jun said it very seriously, and his attitude was also very serious.

"So, it's not about ascending to the upper world?" "No...where did the master hear this statement?" Bai Jun asked curiously.

"No...since it's not convenient to say it, forget it."

Li Daoxuan sighed and did not want to ask any more questions on this topic that made him curious. Instead, he asked: "What about the river mother? Was she killed by you?"

"No, her strength is close to the peak of the ninth-rate world, and she can't be killed... Moreover, she and I are old acquaintances."

Bai Jun came to Li Daoxuan and sat down beside the city wall, watching the sun rising in the distance and swaying his calves slightly.

"How was the matter resolved?"

"Simple, I discussed with her and planned to change her nest." Bai Jun said with a smile.

"How to say?"

"Before I leave, I will take Qiu Wuming away... You should know his true identity, right?" Bai Jun tilted her head and looked at him.

Li Daoxuan nodded, "I do know that she is the guardian ghost in your tomb."

"Well, he took the things from my tomb, turned into a human form, and stole the position of the Divine Witch City... Now that I'm gone, I naturally have to take him back."

"Of course, the main reason is that we can't kill him. We can only take him back to the middle-9 world to kill him."

"Is this really the reason?" Li Daoxuan asked with a smile.

Bai Jun also smiled, "Of course not. The main reason is that he offended the master and staying here... is a disaster, so I must deal with him before I leave."

"So you joined forces with Hemu, prepared to attack Qiu Wuming, and then gave her the location of the Divine Witch City?"

"Correct."

"Then isn't my grudge against this river mother even greater?" Li Daoxuan couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's okay. She and I have already made an agreement. She is willing to put aside the grudge between her and the master. From now on, it's just as long as the water in the well does not touch the water in the river."

Li Daoxuan nodded silently when he heard this answer.

Because apart from that, there is really no other way. If you can't defeat it, what else can you do?
"I made an oath with her. Master can rest assured that as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke me, she will never have a grudge with you again... I'm not strong enough, so I can only help the master so far." Bai Jun's expression was slightly a bit troubling. Lost.

"very good already."

After all, Li Daoxuan was already ready for a fight to the death when he just escaped.

At that time, a white light streaked across the sky from the north. Bai Jun stood up and said, "She has already called me... Master, do you want to go and see it together?"

"This is definitely going to happen." Li Daoxuan raised the corner of his mouth and showed a smile.

How could you not go see such a good opportunity?
"Then let's go, Master." Bai Jun said and flew up, then gently raised his hand towards Li Daoxuan, and then he also flew up.

Then both of them flew towards the north.

Without Li Daoxuan asking, Bai Jun took the initiative to introduce: "My flying method uses the power of seasons...well, it is also a kind of official rank system."

"Is it similar to vulgar arts?"

"Correct!"

Bai Jun was also flying very fast, but in the blink of an eye, he had caught up with Hemu in front.

"Her real name is Jiyue."

"Moon sacrifice?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the river mother in the Shaking Shadow River. The latter did not speak, as if Li Daoxuan did not exist.

After going north for about a while, the mountains and plains passed by our feet were like a fleeting glimpse of light.

Finally, between two mountains, on both sides of the riverbank washed out by the river.

A towering giant city finally appeared in Li Daoxuan's field of vision.

At a glance, he couldn't see where the boundary of this city was, and then thinking of his own Hand Witch City... This feeling was the same as when he arrived at Hand Witch City from Puliu Town.

No...even exaggerated.

Originally I was still thinking about how the ancients built such a huge city, but when I thought about this world with extraordinary power, there was nothing I couldn't understand.

'I don't know if there is any way to control a ghost. If it were possible, wouldn't this ghost be a perpetual motion machine? '

'You won't get tired, and you can work as a cow and horse moving bricks 24 hours a day. '

While Li Daoxuan was thinking randomly, Bai Jun placed him on a mountain.

"Master, just watch here, and leave the rest... to me." After Bai Jun finished speaking, he didn't care whether Li Daoxuan answered or not.

She smiled softly, and Li Daoxuan felt as if his mouth was touching something soft.

By the time he reacted, Bai Jun had disappeared.

On the other side, in just the blink of an eye, Hemu... no, it should be said that Sacrifice Moon was already in the sky above the Divine Witch City.

She didn't have the slightest scruple, suspended in mid-air, directly exposing her body.

In an instant, a huge evil spirit with a human head and an insect body was revealed. Li Daoxuan looked at the people who were about to enter the city under the southern city wall from a distance. They suddenly dispersed and fled in all directions.

Soon, a dim golden light appeared in the sky above the Divine Witch City.
Golden light enveloped the entire Divine Witch City.

Li Daoxuan can naturally recognize that even the Hand Witch City can have such a thing in the secular world, and it is impossible for the Divine Witch City not to have such a thing.

Qiu Wuming's figure also appeared immediately, but he did not leave the scope of the restriction.

Instead, he stayed within the restriction and smiled at Jiyue who was outside the restriction: "I wonder what the purpose of Lady Hemu coming all the way... Oh no, I should call you the Lord of Hand Witch City now."

From a distance, Li Daoxuan felt extremely disgusted when he saw Qiu Wuming's shameless face.

You can be shameless, but you can't be such a hypocrite, right?

Li Daoxuan watched all this silently.

Ji Yue did not continue, but said directly: "Shou Wu City is too small to allow me to stand up, so I can only wrong Qiu Wuming and you... get out of this Divine Witch City?!"

Jiyue's body was extremely huge, and when he said these words at this moment, it spread like thunder throughout the entire Divine Witch City.

In this way, no matter how much Qiu Wuming is a hypocrite, he can no longer hide his face.

He is shameless, but in front of all the people of the Divine Witch City, he still needs the majesty that the Lord of the Divine Witch City should have.

"This city lord has given up the Witch City to you, don't be so shameless!" Qiu Wuming said with a gloomy face.

"Coward!"

Jiyue smiled coldly, his huge figure landed, and his six giant claws grabbed at the earthly restriction.

In an instant, there was a shaking sound throughout the Divine Witch City, as if the sky was collapsing.

"How brave!" Qiu Wuming shouted in anger.

But the body shape still did not leave the worldly restrictions.

No, are all these guys so timid?

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but look shocked when he saw this. If it had been him, he would have come out to fight to the death.

After all, Ji Yue has already stepped on his face, but Qiu Wuming can still endure it?
"Ever since Qiu Wuming escaped from Master Bai's tomb, he has been so cautious. He will never do anything if he can't do it."

A slightly familiar voice came from behind Li Daoxuan.

He looked back and saw a black door suddenly appearing behind him, and a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out.

"General Men."

Li Daoxuan cupped his hands and smiled.

The door monster still looked faceless, but he saw him waving his hands and said, "City Master Li, there is no need to be polite."

Li Daoxuan thought about what he had just said and asked, "Does General Men know Bai Jun?"

"Haha, City Master Li doesn't need to test her. Master Bai's official seal was found for her by me. This official seal... is also her official rank."

"Oh?"

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised...the methods of this sect are so powerful? This is all about being able to reach out to the world of the middle and ninth-level.

"You can trust the monsters, but you can't have deep friendships with them."

Bai Jun's voice suddenly sounded in Li Daoxuan's mind.

In the distance, in the Divine Witch City, Qiu Wuming's voice sounded again.

He folded his sleeves with both hands, as if he was sitting and watching the clouds roll and relax, "If Lady Hemu is really capable, she can come in."

"Oh? Do you think that I really have no means to deal with you?" Jiyue's eyes were cold.

"I wonder if Queen Hemu has any other suggestions?"

Qiu Wuming still looked confident of winning.

But at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared next to Ji Yue, standing out of thin air.

As soon as he saw her, Qiu Wuming was frightened, and even subconsciously felt a little weak in his legs.

Immediately afterwards, a soft and yet endlessly majestic voice sounded in the sky above the Divine Witch City.

"What? You won't kneel down when you see me?"

Qiu Wuming knelt down in response.
