Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 373 Rules!

Li Wushou slowly turned around

The malevolent energy generated by the killing silently receded.

Li Xing felt a sense of relief. With the construction of the temple, he was no longer afraid of even Jin Chuan and others in the Fubo Domain. However, just now, looking at Li Wushou's back, he felt as if he were looking up at the Sevenfold Star Sea, which was far beyond his reach.

Calming his mind, Li Xing transmitted his voice:

"Brother Li, before Master left, he said that there are many forces in Fubo Domain, but there is only one rule, and that is his rule!"

After saying that, Li Xing stood aside and said no more.

He was actually a little surprised that he would have to convey this message so soon.

After his master left, he maintained stability in Fubo Domain to some extent. Because he could summon spirits in various parts of Fubo Domain at the right time, the autonomy his master gave him even exceeded that of Jin Chuan and others.

When he took on this important task, he asked his master out of fear why he was chosen to preside over it.

Even if we value his ability to summon spirits, wouldn't it be better to have him assist Jin Chuan and the others?

The master's reply at the time was: "Jin Chuan and the others are old and think too much."

This moved Li Xing, but also made him feel a great deal of pressure.

Therefore, while his master was still alive, he often went to seek his guidance.

The master was generous in offering his guidance, and before leaving, he tested him with a question:
If the Luo clan were to cause trouble in Fubo Domain, how should he handle it in order to maintain the stability of Fubo Domain?
By then, he had already gained a considerable understanding of the relationship between the Luo family and them through the accounts relayed by Jin Chuan and others.

Furthermore, since he also needs to help his senior sister achieve enlightenment, he is more inclined to prioritize harmony and for both sides to work together to fight against the Immortal Mountain.

After listening, the master simply nodded and said, "Not bad, he has the demeanor of several garrison commanders."

Then the conversation shifted to Brother Li.

To be honest, most of the comments were derogatory.

He was described as cunning, lazy, greedy, and prone to causing trouble, a stark contrast to the Brother Li he remembered.

But his master was getting carried away with his speech, so he didn't dare interrupt and could only listen silently.

Finally, he also told him to keep a close eye on Brother Li, lest Brother Li cause any trouble and endanger his own life, and also implicate others.

This included the message he had just relayed.

Li Xing simply noted it down without giving it much thought. His attention was more focused on his master's description of his elder brother, who, in his view, was not a troublemaker at all.

Master, however, was certain that he had been deceived by Brother Li!
At this point, he gritted his teeth and said that Brother Li was the best at lying!
Seeing this, Li Xing didn't dare to say anything more. He always felt that his master's attitude towards Brother Li was somewhat contradictory.

It seems true that he looks down on him, but he also seems quite concerned about Brother Li's safety.
After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more; he would just agree to what his master said.

Now, however, he has come to some realization.

Although those words were addressed to Brother Li, they were also said to him as well.

Judging from his master's examination, he must have anticipated that the Luo clan would cause trouble after his departure, otherwise he wouldn't have questioned him on this matter.

Maintaining stability in the Fubo region is a heavy responsibility, but the issues to be addressed are never internal matters.

Even powerful forces like the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Buddha Temple wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the Fubo Domain, let alone other forces.

Therefore, the issues that need to be addressed are always things like the Luo family, the Fengling Dao, and the outer sea.

Because of the great changes in the world, Fubo Domain needs allies, so Li Xing is inevitably influenced by Jin Chuan and others when thinking about problems, and has to consider many things.

But is it really necessary to consider all this?

Why did Master choose himself instead of Jin Chuan and the others?
At this moment, Li Xing seemed to understand:
You should always consider things from the perspective of the rules and regulations of Fubo Domain!
Fubo Domain needs allies, but not allies that are begged and groveled.

The alliance between the two sides has always been for mutual benefit, not for sacrificing the dignity and interests of one side to compromise.

No matter who tries to break the rules, the only solution is to kill them!

Having figured this out, Li Xing stood firmly behind Li Wushou.

Master said to look at Brother Li more, which should mean that I should learn more from Brother Li, right?

The more Li Xing thought about it, the more he felt that it should be this way, otherwise why would his outstanding elder brother Li's master keep belittling him?
It's just a way to get my attention and make me take it seriously; this kind of reminder won't hurt my self-esteem.

His master was indeed too good to him! But he was overthinking things. It was only right for him to learn more from Brother Li, and he had no psychological barriers to it.

Upon seeing this scene, Jin Chuan and the other two were all extremely troubled.

One ancestor was already giving them a lot of trouble, and now it seems like there's another one?
Li Wushou listened to Li Xing's retelling without saying much.

With one step, he disappeared from the spot.

He has made a preliminary judgment about today's events.

Opening up the coast and gifting Jiebao might not have been the compensation he imagined, a compensation that would make him consider the bigger picture.

Wu Zhuangyuan emphasized his rules not only to admonish himself but also to warn others that everyone in Fubo Domain must abide by his rules.

This aligns with his understanding of Scholar Wu!
If Wu Zhuangyuan were truly the kind of person who compromises, the relationship between the other party and the Luo family wouldn't have reached this point.

Wu Qinghe would certainly not be caught in the middle between Wu Zhuangyuan and her mother.

Similarly, Wu Zhuangyuan probably didn't know about Tommy's matter, but he should have anticipated that Luo would cause trouble, and even anticipated that he would have another conflict with Luo.

So he asked Li Xing to convey this message to him.

This undoubtedly tells him that as long as he abides by the rules of Fubo Domain, he doesn't need to worry about who commits the crime.

Whether it's the Luo family or other powerful figures, it's all the same.

This is actually similar to what Bu Lan said to him: Luo is Luo, and Qinghe is Qinghe.

This eased his mind somewhat.

Although he did not follow Wu Zhuangyuan's rules by directly exterminating the Luo clan, he did not violate Wu Zhuangyuan's taboos.

It's just that the Luo family is targeting him with all their might, and he can't get Wu Zhuangyuan's help!

Is Li Wushou afraid?

It seems so, after all, there are two masters in one family.

But if he's afraid, will the other party stop targeting him?
Even though he was far away in Huazhou and hadn't done anything, the Luo family still targeted him.
Therefore, he did not care about Luo's attitude.

Moreover, at this point, the outcome of the matter is no longer up to Luo's control.

Within the Western Sea
Li Wushou's primordial spirit returned to his divine aperture, and the overwhelming baleful energy entered the River Styx, causing the River Styx to widen again.

Li Xing, Jin Chuan, and the others looked at Li Wushou with different expressions.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Wushou took out the Sea Patrol Envoy token and the Boundary Treasure and tossed them to Li Xing beside him. He then picked up the kneeling City Lord of Cuihe New City and turned to say:
"Li Xing, inform Zhenhai that the extermination of the Luo clan today was due to a personal grudge."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Wushou vanished from the spot.

He won't be at peace until this matter is completely resolved!
This is also why he handed over the patrol officer's token. This identity is for protection, but it also imposes many restrictions on him, making it difficult for him to act freely.

This is also a rule of the Great One!
However, Li Wushou abandoned Wu Zhuangyuan's protection, and the rule no longer bound him.

Now all he has to do is tell the Luo family about Li Wushou's rules!
On the other side, Li Xing and Jin Chuan's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and Sang You subconsciously sealed off the Western Sea Boundary in an attempt to stop Li Wushou.

But the next moment they were stunned to see a twisted passage appear at the boundary of the Western Sea Realm.

Li Wushou's figure flashed through the passage before disappearing completely from the Western Sea Realm.

Seeing this, Jin Chuan quickly asked Sang You:

"Did you stop them?"

Yuan Xuan and Li Xing looked over as well, while Sang You looked at them speechlessly.

Stop my ass!
He has no idea how the Western Sea boundary was opened!
Moreover, his speed was too fast. If it weren't for his primordial spirit controlling the Western Sea Realm, he wouldn't even be able to see his back!

Is this a newly awakened Nascent Soul cultivator, or did he break through long ago and is just playing with them?

Seeing Sang You's expression, the others knew perfectly well that he had already left.
Jin Chuan and Yuan Xuan stamped their feet anxiously and muttered, "What kind of situation is this?"

Li Xing also felt somewhat confused.

He was examining himself, wondering if he had not conveyed his master's words clearly.
That's not what Master meant!
