Mortal Mirror

Only now did Li Ergou remember that he had forgotten to copy the precious saber. What a waste! Otherwise, wouldn't his natal flying sword be able to devour another treasure?

Carelessness, such carelessness! Li Ergou was filled with regret.

Alas, it was too late for regrets now.

He glanced at the golden skeleton and the flying zombie. Although their combat power was average, they were quite reliable at critical moments. If he could summon ten or eight of them, no matter what your cultivation level was, it would make you unable to resist. After all, ants can kill an elephant.

At this moment, he flipped his wrist and took out the bone that the county magistrate had given him. After thinking for a moment, he put it away. He always felt that the main body of this bone should be a remarkable great demon, but to summon such a great demon would definitely come at a great cost.

He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but after experiencing this, he felt that he needed to take some time to summon it and see what that thing was.

With that thought, he put away the bone and took out two first-generation chickens from the bronze mirror and threw them to the golden skeleton and the flying zombie. After all, if you don't give these underworld creatures some benefits, they won't work hard next time.

Having obtained the flesh and blood of the first-generation chickens, the golden skeleton and the flying zombie were very happy, directly devouring them in large mouthfuls.

Li Ergou was quite satisfied with these two, and with a wave of his hand, he sent them away.

In Baojing Prefecture, inside an unremarkable mud-brick house, a man with a dignified appearance suddenly opened his eyes. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "How could this be? Bai Li's soul fire has been extinguished. He has fallen.

Could it be that he encountered something special, or was he killed by Li Ergou? No, absolutely impossible. Li Ergou is just a small Golden Core cultivator, while Bai Li is a proper Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if he couldn't kill Li Ergou, running away wouldn't be difficult. What exactly happened?"

Thinking of this, his body flashed and disappeared from the house.

Li Ergou came out of the underworld space, looked at the dark night sky outside, and then looked at the lights of Baojing Prefecture, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Then, without much thought, he summoned his flying sword and sped towards Baojing Prefecture.

A moment after he left, a figure flashed out of thin air and landed at the place where he and the masked man had fought.

This person was Bai Li's third uncle, Bai Tianlong.

His brow furrowed, and he grabbed at the empty space on the ground, instantly grabbing a handful of black ashes. He joined his two fingers together and shot a ray of spiritual light into the ashes.

He saw that there were actually bits of spiritual light flying out of the ashes. Even more miraculously, these spiritual lights began to gather together, and in an instant, they turned into the masked man's appearance before he died.

Seeing this scene, Bai Tianlong's face became even more unsightly.

At this moment, the masked man was just a remnant soul. His face was dazed, with a silly look.

Bai Tianlong immediately asked him, "What exactly happened to Bai Li?"

Bai Li looked at Bai Tianlong and said in a wooden voice, "Li... Li Er..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the soul power inside the spiritual light seemed to be completely exhausted, and then the figure suddenly collapsed, turning into specks of spiritual light and drifting away.

Bai Tianlong planned to gather these remnant souls again, but even with his heaven-reaching cultivation, the spiritual light still began to annihilate and then disappeared.

"Li Er."

Bai Tianlong said angrily, "It must have been done by Li Ergou. Damn guy, you really don't take the road to heaven, and you break into hell without a door.

Li Ergou, ah, Li Ergou, you were given a chance, but you didn't cherish it, and you even killed a member of my Bai family. It's really unforgivable. Since you are so eager to die, I can only be sorry to my nephew.

Muran, don't blame your third uncle for being ruthless. It's just that your friend is too ungrateful.

But I'm very strange. A Golden Core cultivator actually killed a Nascent Soul cultivator. This shouldn't be. Could it be that he has some helpers?

Hmph, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to oppose our Bai family must die."

Li Ergou did not return to the yamen post. The two found an ordinary inn to stay in. He felt as if there was an eye watching his every move in the dark. If it was really as the masked man said, what should he do in the future?

To be honest, Li Ergou didn't know how many life-and-death situations he had experienced over the years. Was he afraid? He was really scared, but what could he do if he was scared? He knew even more that if a person was more afraid of death, they would die faster.

To put it bluntly, his strength was still too weak. However, cultivation was not something that came out of thin air. Although his cultivation speed was not particularly fast now, it was not slow.

Forget it, he wouldn't think about it anymore. He immediately took out a few Daozang coins to restore his mana. He couldn't control so much. He would deal with soldiers when they came and water when it came. If it was a blessing, it was not a curse. If it was a curse, he couldn't avoid it.

Therefore, it was better to concentrate on the competition. He didn't believe that if he achieved the title of the strongest constable, anyone would dare to attack him. Opposing the imperial court was simply courting death.

Before he had absolute strength, he could only tightly hug the imperial court's thighs.

The next day, before dawn, Li Ergou opened his eyes. He left the inn and went directly to the post. To his surprise, Bai Su and Ye Wanwan were already up so early, sitting in the hall, with a trace of anxiety on their faces.

When the two women saw Li Ergou, they immediately stood up with concern, almost saying in unison, "Where did you go?"

Seeing that someone cared about him so much, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. Yes, no matter how dangerous it was outside, there were still friends who cared about him at home, weren't there?

He came to the two women, thought about it, and still didn't say what happened last night. After all, talking about this kind of clueless thing would only make the two of them worry in vain, wouldn't it?

He could only lie and say, "I went to find Wu Shenxian and Jiutian. Everyone had a good chat, so I simply stayed at his place."

Hearing that he had gone to Wu Shenxian's place, the two women felt relieved. Bai Su said with some blame, "You, do you know that Wanwan and I worried all night? In the future, if there is such a thing, be sure to tell us in advance."

Li Ergou felt a warmth in his heart and immediately nodded, "Definitely, definitely. But how did you two know that I wasn't at home? Could it be that you went to find me?"

Ye Wanwan said, "Of course. We wanted to talk to you about something last night, but no matter how long we knocked on the door, you didn't open it, so we went into the house."

"What were you looking for me for in the middle of the night?" Li Ergou asked with some doubt.
