Mortal Mirror

Hearing the words 'Chaos Ancient Box,' everyone's expression changed slightly, as that item was indeed too precious.

The Chaos Ancient Box is a town-guarding treasure that has been passed down in Fish City for thousands of years. It contains a very powerful treasure called the Ice Soul Cold Pearl. This object is extremely Yin and cold, and it is the nemesis of all fire-type treasures.

This item is priceless, and the successive prefects have not dared to use it lightly. One reason is that this thing is quite powerful, and another is that it is troublesome to use.

This pearl is special; once it begins to seal, the power of the pearl will be released.

The most frustrating thing is that the sealing technique is special and must be personally activated, so one must bear the risk to their life in order for this item to exert its due effect.

Before long, the commandant hurriedly retrieved a box. This object was extremely simple and covered in dust, indicating that it was very old.

Seeing this box, everyone frowned, wondering if it could still exert its proper effect after so many years.

The prefect took the item and looked at everyone around him, feeling troubled, not knowing who to send, after all, this required risking one's life.

First of all, the commandant and the assistant prefect had to be excluded. The chief constable, Li Tianhai, the deputy chief constables, Bai Su and Meng Xiaoyu, had decent cultivation levels and could take on this task.

However, Li Tianhai's position was quite high, so he couldn't take too many risks. Bai Su had a strong background, and if anything happened to her, they couldn't afford it. As for Meng Xiaoyu, this guy was diligent and conscientious, and luckily didn't have much of a background. If there was no other choice, he would have to be the one.

As he was thinking, he saw a figure flying from the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it landed in front of everyone. This person was none other than the tardy Li Ergou.

Seeing this scene, Li Ergou was also slightly surprised, not expecting that the matter here had alarmed the three giants of Fish City.

Bai Su looked at Li Ergou with resentment in her eyes and said, 'Why are you so late? Where did you go gallivanting?'

Li Ergou originally wanted to say that he had gone to the Big Elm Tree with Fairy Qin, but upon second thought, there were too many people here, and people talk too much. It would be bad if he was misunderstood. He was indifferent, but it concerned Fairy Qin's reputation, so he couldn't say it no matter what.

Therefore, he could only lie and say, 'I went to the city to take care of some things and had a bowl of wontons. I wanted to go to the yamen to take a look, but I saw a huge commotion here, so I came over to see what was going on. I didn't expect the matter to be so big, with so many people here.'

Bai Su was speechless, but suddenly her nose twitched, and she said in surprise, 'Huh? Why do you have a fragrance on you? Something's not right, you…'

Hearing this, Li Ergou's heart trembled. He thought, 'Why is this woman's nose so sensitive? It's been so long, and Fairy Qin's fragrance hasn't dissipated yet?'

He didn't dare let Bai Su know, otherwise, wouldn't he have to explain? He hated lying the most. You've all seen it, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

At the thought of Bai Su's constant questioning, his head hurt. In order to change the subject, he let out an 'ah' and walked towards Li Tianhai and the others, saying, 'Huh? All of you adults have come to join in the fun. I wonder what happened?'

Bai Su's words were interrupted. Looking at Li Ergou's back, she was lost in thought and couldn't help but snort, 'Stinky brat, secretive and sneaky, definitely up to no good.

Do you really think I'm willing to investigate you? However, that smell, although faint, does feel a bit familiar.

Whose scent is it? Why is Li Ergou so flustered? Could it be that this guy really didn't do anything good?'

At this moment, she looked at Li Ergou with increasing suspicion.

Li Ergou came to Li Tianhai and Luo Tian's side with a look of confusion, not knowing what had happened, but seeing the increasingly hot power spreading out in front of him, he felt a sense of inexplicable worry.

He only felt that the thing in front of him seemed extraordinary.

To Li Ergou's surprise, Li Tianhai was unexpectedly enthusiastic. He immediately told Li Ergou what had happened here and explained the power of the White Lotus Karmic Fire.

After hearing this, Li Ergou was surprised, not expecting that there would be such a strange fire in the world.

But he didn't have much to worry about, after all, these big things were headaches for the people above, and he was just a small character watching the fun.

While he was pondering how to reply if Bai Su continued to ask, he heard Prefect Ma Dayuan's voice, 'Oh, it's Li Ergou. Come over here quickly. We have something important to ask you.'

Li Ergou was dumbfounded, thinking, 'What do you big shots want from me?' At this moment, Ma Dayuan's mouth was smiling like a chrysanthemum. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this guy had no good intentions.

In fact, the moment Ma Dayuan saw Li Ergou, his eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn't this kid very powerful? Most importantly, he had beaten his son miserably. Although he said he wouldn't do anything to Li Ergou,

There was still a lot of hatred in his heart. No matter how much of a bastard his son was, he was still his blood. You have to look at the owner when you beat a dog. This little Li Ergou didn't even put him, the prefect, in his eyes. Was there no law?

It wasn't good to move him openly, but it wouldn't hurt to scheme against him in secret. You have to know that the most poisonous schemes in the world are not conspiracies, but open plots, where you know it's a trap, but you have to jump in. That's the highest level of conspiracy.

Aren't you pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? This time, I'll give you a chance to perform. I've dug the pit, and you have to jump in whether you want to or not. I can take this opportunity to see if you're a real Nascent Soul cultivator.

If not, this guy will definitely die. If he is, he will suffer a big loss, and he can't blame himself, and he can also know his true strength.

Hehe, I'm really a genius, wouldn't that be killing several birds with one stone?

Therefore, when he saw Li Ergou coming over, a smile appeared on his face, and he even patted Li Ergou's shoulder enthusiastically, saying, 'Li Ergou, heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times. I have always been optimistic about you.'

This inexplicable praise made Li Ergou feel that this guy was up to no good. However, at this moment, he really couldn't guess what this person wanted to do.

Officials of a higher rank can crush people to death. After all, he was working under him, and no matter how unwilling he was, he had to feign compliance.

He could only suppress his disgust and say, 'Thank you for your praise, Lord. I really don't deserve it.'

'Acting, keep acting. A nobody, you really are a nobody. You can tolerate this, you're definitely a nobody.' Ma Dayuan thought maliciously in his heart.

Although he thought so in his heart, he said, 'No, these are all my sincere words. You little fellow, dare to act and dare to take responsibility. You even dare to beat my son. What else do you dare not do?

But to be honest, I like passionate young people like you. The imperial court also needs young blood like you to enrich it. In that case, my Great Xia Kingdom will be full of infinite vitality.'

Such semi-yin and semi-yang, semi-complimentary and semi-sarcastic words made Li Ergou really confused. Anyway, talking to such people was tiring. Therefore, he didn't pretend anymore and directly asked, 'I can't bear the Lord's praise. I don't know if the Lord has any instructions. I will definitely do my best.'
