Chapter 139 Alienation? Massacre of the City!
The playful expression on Que Zun's face faded, not because Zhu Sihai was dead.

Rather, it was because, under her gaze, she hadn't even seen how Zhu Sihai had died!

Who is she? The Sparrow Lord of the Sealed Spirit Path, even if she is only a Dharma body about to collapse at this moment, what could possibly kill someone under her nose?

With a single step, Sparrow Lord arrived beside Zhu Sihai's shattered Yin Spirit. He reached out and scooped up the void, causing the entire void to fold up like a curtain and quickly shrink into Sparrow Lord's palm.

Li Wushou, who was about to escape from the city lord's mansion, felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, he smeared a speck of incense ash between his brows, his body enveloped in the fragrant smoke of incense, and a dark shadow shrouded him. Looking at the constantly folding and swirling void behind him, he was filled with dread.

This Mahjong Master is terrifyingly powerful!
The mist cleared a path, and they carefully slipped away a little further, glancing back at the void above the courtyard.

Sparrow Lord frowned, his hands empty. The other party hadn't left a trace, as if Zhu Sihai's Yin spirit had shattered on its own.

But it wasn't a complete loss. With a light sniff, the Sparrow Lord's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly murmured, "What domineering incense offerings and vows! Who is worshipping this god? Where can you find such a god these days?"

The murmur was extremely soft, muffled by the crackling flames beneath them.

The Sparrow Lord slightly raised his head, and a phantom black feather flew out from between his brows, slowly merging into the night.

Ripples spread through the void, and at the same time, the courtyard inside the Three Immortals Pavilion suddenly trembled.

Chen Gou'er let out a strange cry and fell to the ground. Then, he quickly picked up the incense burner from the altar, rushed out of the room, and plopped down on the upside-down square table. The inexplicable tremor subsided instantly, and Chen Gou'er then bent over and began to rub his buttocks on the square table.

As he rubbed it, his teeth gradually started to bar!

The Sparrow Lord here slowly opened his eyes, his astonishment even greater! This small Five Directions City had actually turned the world upside down, and the secrets of heaven were shrouded in mystery?
One is a city god who has cultivated a trace of pure yang, and the other has silently killed someone right under her nose. Now even the secrets of heaven are being concealed.

How interesting! The Sparrow Lord became somewhat interested, but it was a pity that he was too far away from Huazhou, otherwise he could have come and investigate.

Although Zhu Liuli on the other side did not hear what the Sparrow Lord said, the Sparrow Lord's actions caught her attention.

Before he could even make out what was happening, he spotted the shattered Yin Spirit of Zhu Sihai beside the Sparrow Lord. His pupils contracted sharply, and his mind trembled.

Zhu Sihai is dead? Who killed him? Master?

Impossible! What merit does Zhu Sihai possess to warrant Master's intervention? Who is it then?

Zhu Liuli's mind was in turmoil. She wasn't sad, just a little conflicted, because her long-held beliefs had suddenly fallen through!
For a moment, she stood there stunned. The white sparrow head at her ears raised its head slightly, and the feathers on its neck slowly spread along Zhu Liuli's face. At Zhu Liuli's broken left arm, flesh and blood writhed, and a large number of feathers emerged from it, growing into a wing in the blink of an eye.

Its back trembled continuously, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Sparrow claws grew symmetrically from the left and right sides of Zhu Liuli's back, and then stretched out wantonly.

The Sparrow Lord loosened his grip on the void, and the wrinkled space quickly expanded and returned to its original state.

He looked up and stared silently at Zhu Liuli, who was becoming increasingly distorted and lost in a daze, without uttering a word.

With worldly ties unbroken and the obsession in her heart unresolved, an unexpected event has occurred. There are only two possibilities: one is that she has found a new obsession, which is what the Sparrow Lord hopes for, since Zhu Sihai, as Zhu Liuli's obsession, is too tedious for her!

Therefore, when she noticed something was wrong, she did not stop it. She also wanted to see if Zhu Liuli would realize the truth after Zhu Sihai's death!

She just didn't expect that although she noticed something was wrong, the result would be completely unexpected.

Another possibility is that she falls into a state of confusion, and in her bewilderment, she is replaced by the supernatural in her heart. At that time, she can only become food for the Sparrow Lord. Although she thinks that the taste is just average at this time, not as delicious as it is after she has achieved enlightenment, there is nothing to complain about.

As the Magnificent Sparrow, she lived a long life observing the mortal world, indifferent to whatever the outcome.

So she just watched quietly!

Li Wushou, witnessing this scene, was astonished. Was this the mutation of the Sealed Spirit Path? How could it suddenly mutate out of nowhere? Could it be because he killed Zhu Sihai?

But these two don't look like they have a deep father-daughter relationship at all.
But for some reason, Li Wushou felt a bit more anxious. Normally, once Zhu Sihai died, before the Sparrow Venerable's Dharma Body dissipated, Zhu Liuli should have left. But a mad Zhu Liuli might not be able to leave!

With his mind focused on his sleeve, Li Wushou cautiously called out to the civil official.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred. Zhu Liuli stood there, stunned, and suddenly uttered a murmur:
"I know who killed Zhu Sihai!"

Yes! She's figured it out!

Although she didn't want to believe it, the other party had the power to kill someone silently right in front of her master. But to do so so discreetly and stealthily, besides that thing, she couldn't think of anyone else in Five Directions City who could do it!
When they were outside the East City, that thing had been hiding its form, almost causing her to capsize.

The other side is using a deceptive tactic. After transferring the civil and military officials to outside the East City, they are shouting that they want to return to Wufang City to kill Zhu Sihai.

So who else could it be besides him?

Even the sparrow he lost when he went to the north of the city, and the accident at Cui Family Village, were probably all secretly orchestrated by the other party.

I've figured everything out!

Zhu Liuli's eyes became increasingly clear, and golden branches suddenly stretched out from behind her head, quickly forming a golden bird's nest.

"Huh? He actually woke up?"

Looking at Zhu Liuli, Que Zun was somewhat surprised. After all, the transformation begins with losing one's senses, and once it begins, it is not easy to regain one's senses.

Zhu Liuli's temperament is indeed quite good, Sparrow Lord nodded inwardly. Suddenly, the golden bird's nest behind Zhu Liuli's head turned upside down, like a golden bowl, and was placed inside Zhu Liuli's body.

The wildly growing wings and claws, like a tide, quickly flowed back into Zhu Liuli's body, and were once again bound into the bird's nest, which was her divine palace.

This alienation comes quickly, and it goes quickly too!
Zhu Liuli herself was completely unaware of this; all she could think about was finding that thing and killing it!

Until this moment, Zhu Liuli replaced her inner conviction, but she herself was unaware of it. Only the murderous aura in her eyes gathered again, and she became determined once more. Her broken left arm was completely restored after this incident.

The Sparrow Lord had nothing to say about this, but he was curious about what Zhu Liuli said after she regained consciousness.

"You just said you know who killed Zhu Sihai?"

Zhu Liuli was immersed in her own world when she heard the Sparrow Lord's question. She quickly bowed and gave a detailed account of her fight with Li Wushou outside the East City.

"So weak?"

When the Sparrow Lord heard that Li Wushou had gone to great lengths but had only almost killed Zhu Liuli, he was surprised again. So weak?

But upon hearing that Li Wushou had suddenly cut off his belly and covered his face, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Flesh covering the face?"

The Sparrow Master murmured, "This means the other party doesn't want Zhu Liuli to see their appearance."

What kind of person wouldn't want their face to be seen? Someone Zhu Liuli knows, someone familiar with, or perhaps someone from this Five Directions City?

Hearing the Sparrow Lord's murmur, Zhu Liuli also came to her senses. She realized that the other party must be someone she had noticed before! Since returning to the Five Directions, she had paid attention to many people, but the most important one was naturally the City God Temple!

Her first suspect was actually Li Wushou, but she quickly ruled him out.

Because she had observed Li Wushou, she knew that apart from having a larger appetite and being a bit mentally unstable, Li Wushou was essentially still a human being!

In her view, that thing couldn't possibly be a person; it was most likely an evil spirit adept at hiding itself.

This Li Wushou, like the civil and military officials, was likely being driven by the other party.

So who could it be?

Zhu Liuli frowned, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at the Sparrow Lord and said, "Since the other party is in the Five Directions City, I respectfully request Master to seal off the Five Directions. Once I have devoured the Five Directions, then this person will have no way to escape!"

She decided to stop guessing!

Previously, in order for Zhu Sihai to become the City God, it was natural to avoid a large reduction in the population. Even when threatening the City God earlier, Zhu Liuli was patient and only threatened to slaughter half the city.

But now that her mindset has changed, she has no more taboos. As long as she can find that thing, she can kill the other party!
As for the rest, would Suspended Mountain dare to take her life?
Zhu Sihai is dead. Tonight, after swallowing Wufang City and killing that thing, I will return to Fengling Path with my master and begin my quest for immortality. What can Xuankong Mountain do to her?
Zhu Liuli was somewhat disdainful!
After undergoing a transformation, Zhu Liuli's mentality changed dramatically, becoming like a wild horse unleashed.

The Sparrow Lord standing in front of her smiled with relief upon hearing Zhu Liuli's words. That's more like it!

How can mortal emotions, morals, and etiquette bind immortals?

What is an immortal? An immortal is one who lives a carefree and unrestrained life!
How can one become an immortal if one is always looking back and forth?

This Zhu Liuli is finally starting to look decent!
The Sparrow Master nodded and said, "Good!"

Then the figure of the woman in the black dress disappeared, the starlight and moonlight suddenly went out, and the entire Five Directions fell into silence.

Li Wushou, who was still activating Zhu Sihai's divine position and offering incense to the civil official, felt a sudden tightness in his heart. He subconsciously looked up and saw that the sky had become even darker, so black that it made his heart tremble.

Li Wushou only realized after concentrating that it was not dark at all.
It was clearly a black lark that blotted out the sky, shrouding the entire Five Directions City under its wings!
Is this the Skylark form of the Sparrow Lord?

So big?
Li Wushou was utterly astonished. The giant lark that Zhu Sihai usually rode had already amazed the people of Wufang City, but compared to the size of the Sparrow Lord, it was like mud in the clouds.

After revealing the back of the sparrow, the Sparrow Master reached out slightly and gently pressed down.

Five sharp claw-like shadows pierced through the five directions, encompassing the entire Five Directions City within his palm.

"Let's begin! Once we've emptied Five Directions City, I can find that coward hiding in hiding!"

Zhu Liuli was deeply moved by what she saw; her master's power truly overwhelmed the world.

Composing herself, Zhu Liuli's two sparrow heads flew out again, merging into one, transforming once more into a giant white lark. This lark, however, was less majestic than before, appearing somewhat timid.

Zhu Liuli formed a hand seal in front of her chest, and the white lark shook its body, releasing a dense swarm of baby larks, half red and half gold, arranged on either side of the white lark.

Seeing this, Li Wushou became anxious. Did the other side still intend to massacre the city?

The master and apprentice gave him another vivid lesson. Last time, the old beggar said that the Six-Eyed Monk of the South City might slaughter the area around Dwarf Mountain in order to find them. He was half-believing and half-doubting, but now he was finally convinced!

This is how the immortal sects see the difference between immortals and mortals!
