Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 19: Going South to Chu
A few days later, Zhou Yi asked for leave from the prison chief and went straight to Chuzhou.

He walked on the wind like an immortal, traveling through the famous mountains and rivers of Daqian. Wherever he passed, he had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains, and the towering peaks. It was like a beautiful painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

"This Star Chasing Moon Step is truly magical. Through the special way of circulating true energy, it can greatly increase a person's speed. No wonder Li Guangling was able to fool the Zhenwu Division with just his Xiantian realm cultivation and was not caught for so many years."

Li Guangling is only a congenital being, but he can travel two thousand miles a day. As a powerful person from a major sect, and his strength far exceeds that of those who have just entered the major sect, he can probably reach the same level in half a day.

Chuzhou, Longtan Lake.

A group of palace soldiers were standing by the lake, arranging siege crossbows. The crossbows made of fine steel were ready. Each crossbow arrow was as strong as a spear, and the arrowheads emitted a cold light. The tails of the arrows were connected to thick iron chains that extended to the back and were tied to several large trees.

The commander of the palace soldiers walked up to a young man in a white silk dragon robe and bowed.

"Sir, the siege crossbows are ready, just waiting for the bait to lure that thing up."

The man called the Prince looked down at the Longtan Lake with murderous intent in his eyes.

"If that damn Li Guangling hadn't stolen the Martial Saint Diagram and might have made this secret public at any time, there would be no need for me, Li Xiaoren, to be in such a hurry."

But soon, the murderous intent was replaced by greed.

“As long as I can seize this Martial Saint inheritance, I may be able to reach that level in the future. Even if I can’t reach that level, it will be a good thing to be able to reach the pinnacle of a great sect.

That foolish emperor was captured by the Northern Wilds, and the throne of the court is vacant. With this Martial Saint inheritance, I can go straight to Kyoto and ask the Li family's ancestors to help me ascend the throne and let me sit on the throne of the emperor."

He gave the other party a look, and the other party understood. He waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him brought hundreds of civilians over.

"Please spare my life, sir. I have parents, wife and children at home who are waiting for me to support them."

"Mother, I want mother, woo woo woo"

"You have taken human life lightly, and you will not die well."

However, the soldiers did not give them any chance to resist. They tied ropes around their waists, cut their wrists with knives, and kicked them directly into the water.

Puff puff.
The people jumped into the water, and the blood instantly dyed the pool red. Those who could swim swam desperately towards the shore, while those who could not swim struggled desperately and screamed, as if there was something extremely terrifying at the bottom of the lake.

But even those who swam to the shore would be kicked back into the water. As they bled and gradually lost their strength, they could only struggle unwillingly in the lake.

At this moment, the originally calm center of the lake gradually began to fluctuate, and huge ripples began to surge towards this side.

Beneath the waves, a huge black shadow can be vaguely seen.

"coming!"

Li Xiaoren and others' eyes suddenly lit up and they were extremely excited.

The people on the lake were even more terrified.

Suddenly, the two civilians seemed to be dragged down by something, and then a thick and huge black shadow jumped out from the bottom of the lake, swallowing the two adult men with its bloody mouth, just like eating meatballs.

Countless people couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling and their hair standing on end when they saw this scene.

The black shadow turned out to be a giant python, its body pitch black and sparkling in the sunlight. Its head was as big as a dustpan and its body was as thick as a bucket. Even the part of its body that emerged from the water was ten meters long!
When everyone was shocked, Li Xiaoren spoke first.

"Attack quickly, quickly! Don't let it enter the water!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers reacted immediately and started the siege crossbow carts, shooting out long steel arrows.
A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the giant black-scaled python had already reacted and immediately wanted to dive into the water, but it was a step too late.

More than a dozen long steel arrows, four of which pierced the giant python and pierced its body.

However, its vitality was extremely tenacious. Even so, it did not die. Instead, it stirred the water madly, pulling up the chains, and even uprooted the big tree in the front.

"What a powerful beast! This beast is probably already at the peak of the innate realm."

"We can't let it escape, otherwise it will be difficult to catch it in the future. If we don't kill it, we won't be able to explore the Tomb of the Martial Saint. Everyone, why don't you take action now? When will you take action?"

Following Li Xiaoren's order, several innate masters immediately took action, each grabbing an iron chain and pulling it upwards.

The giant black-scaled python was extremely powerful underwater and was extremely terrifying, but it was seriously injured and was pulled by the innates, so it was soon forced ashore.

It knew that it would be difficult to escape without defeating these people, so it let out a roar and immediately rushed towards several innate masters.

Wherever it passed, all the soldiers were knocked away by its huge body, and their bones were shattered on the spot.

The innate masters did not dare to be careless and immediately fought with it. Relying on their powerful strength and agility, they continued to consume the python and soon defeated it completely.

"Roar--!"

With an unwilling roar, the black-scaled python roared and fell to the ground. Its blood dyed the ground red and flowed into the lake like water.

"Hahahaha. It's done!"

Li Xiaoren was overjoyed, as if he had inherited the legacy of the Martial Saint.

But at this moment, one of them suddenly said:

"Your Highness, that's not right. When we were investigating among the people, they said that there was a dragon in Longtan City with two horns on its head and a body length of one hundred meters. This python is also very big, but it is only about thirty meters long, and its head is flat. It is obviously not that one."

Li Xiaoren snorted disdainfully and said:
"You also know that those are what the common people say. How can those fools know anything? They are just exaggerating and bragging. If there really is a giant python a hundred meters long in this world, wouldn't it be a dragon? I'm afraid that except for the powerful masters of the great sects, no one can take it down, right?"

But who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, a huge wave suddenly exploded on the water surface again.

Then, a giant python, even bigger than the snake, roared and rushed towards the sky.

It would take three people to surround the giant python's body. It had two huge lumps on its head that looked like dragon horns. Its body was covered with black scales, and one of the scales was bigger than a child's head.

"Roar--!"

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but shiver all over.

Even a powerful master of the innate realm felt his heart beating wildly at this moment.

"Protect the Crown Prince!"

"Prince, let's retreat quickly!"

The innate masters immediately protected Li Xiaoren and retreated, but the giant python refused to let them go. It roared and pressed down on their heads.

Don't worry about watching it, there will definitely not be any disgusting plots.
