Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 170 Bloodshed and Calamity!

At this moment, listening to Li Qiye's casual yet almost interrogative tone, Qin Linglong feared that Jiuyou might unleash a thunderous attack and obliterate him if he became displeased.

Fortunately, it seems that Jiuyou's attitude towards Li Qiye is not the same as that towards others.

He simply nodded calmly and said, "You're right, and only I can see them."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't dwell on the topic and said, "Tell me, who exactly is that human being in the Imperial Mausoleum City? Let me see if I recognize him."

A strange light flashed in Li Yueyao's eyes. After all, she had experienced a lot and had just heard the probing meaning in Qi Ye's tone. She wanted to see how much Jiu You could tolerate him.

The result was that Jiuyou had a very high level of tolerance for Qiye, at least for now.

Furthermore, although the Nine Netherworlds are not the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth as in the legends, and are selfless, they have their own emotions.

However, she still thinks about problems rationally, with emotion only playing a small part.

Otherwise, she shouldn't have remained so calm in the face of Li Qiye's unfriendly tone.

"You don't know them, but you've been in close contact with them."

Jiuyou spoke calmly.

Immediately, a surge of spiritual energy rapidly gathered before him, transforming into a mirror that reflected the figure of a young man.

After reading it, Li Qiye fell into deep thought.

It does look somewhat familiar; I think I've seen it somewhere before, but I certainly wouldn't call it familiarity.

After searching my memory, I found the information about this person.

At his level of cultivation, anyone who has seen him will automatically remember him and will never forget him.

"His name should be Su Bai, right?"

Li Qiye frowned slightly.

He still had some recollection of this person.

If I remember correctly, he should be a protagonist destined for destiny, or rather, a protagonist destined for destiny in the Soul Ring style.

This guy is actually a being from the human realm?
According to the original novel, Su Bai should be a native of this world, not even a transmigrator. The original novel never described his origins in this regard.

Can the world self-correct?

Just then, the mirror swayed slightly, then stopped on Su Bai's right hand, where there was an extremely ancient black ring, dark and deep.

Li Qiye was taken aback. The being from the human realm was not Su Bai, but the old woman Liu Ruyan, who carried the ring with him.

But this doesn't add up at all.

The old lady with the ring, Liu Ruyan, seems to be skilled in crafting talismans and possesses a talisman-making tradition from ancient times.

She was a powerful figure from an ancient family in the Central Divine Realm. After being framed, her physical body was destroyed and she was transformed into a soul, which could only reside in a soul ring. By a twist of fate, she was obtained by Su Bai.

This is completely based on the template of a certain fantasy novel, Emperor Yan.

Since the "Battle Qi Transforms into a Horse" trope became a hit, fantasy novels of this type have sprung up one after another, and this is one of them.

That said, Liu Ruyan's origins changed after being corrected; otherwise, she could never have been a being from the human realm.

Just then, Jiuyou's emotionless voice rang out.

"The beings of the human realm reside within this soul ring. They exist in different forms; some are physically transported to this realm, some are souls, and some may have taken on other forms..."

"And within this soul ring is a soul entity."

It really is Liu Ruyan?!
Li Qiye frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that person's strength is probably extremely powerful."

"Not bad!"

Jiuyou nodded and said, "She was originally an immortal, but her physical body was destroyed and her soul was severely injured. When she was traveling here, I added some more trouble for her. Now, even if she tries her best, she can only use the strength of the Void Realm." "Didn't you just say that you couldn't make a move?"

Li Qiye glanced at Jiuyou and asked.

"Of course I couldn't intervene, but when she was traveling, a celestial tribulation happened there, causing a spacetime distortion, so it doesn't count as me intervening."

Jiuyou said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye's lips twitched.

How insidious is the will of heaven and earth!
Suddenly, Li Qiye's heart stirred. He noticed that Su Bai, who was reflected in the mirror, was standing in front of a disheveled old Taoist priest, seemingly communicating with him.

Li Qiye had seen the old Taoist priest before; he was the same old Taoist priest he had met by the lake when he attended the banquet hosted by Fairy Qingyin.

The other party was also unfathomable, especially in divination, which was simply astonishing.

How did this guy end up hanging out with Su Bai?

Su Bai has been feeling very depressed lately.

At the recent Gathering of Prodigies, I thought I would have great opportunities in the secret realm, but I didn't get anything after entering. I only got some ordinary divine weapons and pills, and they were all missing a lot of spiritual energy.

Its only value lies in its long history, making it suitable for collection.

It should be noted that the moment Su Bai entered the secret realm, the mysterious master residing in the soul ring was extremely excited, feeling that there was some great opportunity here.

But after staying inside for so long, I didn't see any opportunities, and I encountered quite a few dangers.

The most dangerous time was when Su Bai almost fell into an abandoned elixir cave.

Inside was a strange alchemy furnace. According to his master, this furnace should be a precious treasure. It was also the only treasure that Su Bai had seen that had not lost any spiritual energy, which made him overjoyed.

As soon as he got close to the alchemy furnace, an extremely strong suction force suddenly erupted from inside, catching him completely off guard and sucking him in.

Inside the alchemy furnace, there was also a nine-colored elixir filled with malevolent energy. Over the long years, its spiritual essence had been lost, leaving only a very small portion remaining.

If the evil pill hadn't lost its spiritual essence, his flesh and blood would probably have been completely devoured by the other party.

Even so, with the help of Su Bai's master, they barely managed to escape with all their might.

Su Bai was feeling frustrated and couldn't help but complain a few times to his master, but his master hasn't paid any attention to him since.

This made Su Bai inwardly grumble, thinking that all women are so petty.

"Young man, you are about to suffer a bloody disaster."

Walking down the street, Su Bai encountered a disheveled old Taoist priest who immediately said these words to him.

If it weren't for his master, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly speaking up to remind him that this slovenly old Taoist priest was not simple and that he should watch his mouth.

Su Bai probably pointed his finger at the old Taoist priest and started cursing.

Damn it, who are you saying will suffer a bloody disaster?

And so, the scene that Li Qiye witnessed came to be.

Since even the mysterious master had said so, Su Bai naturally wouldn't take it lightly, and said cautiously:

"Senior, may I ask where this calamity of bloodshed I am facing comes from?"

"From..."

The disheveled old Taoist priest said with a smile.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly frowned, his previously casual gaze instantly turning serious as he stared at Su Bai's face and said:

"No, this is no ordinary bloodshed, but a death calamity!"
