"Please, let me go. I'll do anything..."
Li Rui smiled. How they had treated him before had now turned into this situation; who gave them the confidence?
In the blink of an eye, one after another fell before Li Rui. At that moment, he wielded his stick like a god of death, his eyes already covered in blood, and even from a distance, one could feel the hostility radiating from him.
It seemed someone had grabbed Mo Ruxi, trying to use her to threaten Li Rui, which only served to infuriate him further.
"Let her go, or the entire Falling Blossom Kingdom will accompany you to the grave."
Perhaps Li Rui himself did not realize what he was doing; he was somewhat possessed! Yet his gaze remained fixed on the one holding the knife.
This was because the knife was pressed against Mo Ruxi's neck.
In an instant, the knife broke, and even the one holding it did not understand what had happened, while the one who executed it was perfectly clear.
The breaking of the knife meant death!
"We're leaving!" The weight of Li Rui's words was immense. For some reason, a raging force was surging within his Dantian! This feeling was particularly unpleasant, yet he could not...
Mo Ruxi seemed to sense something was off with him. Although there were no significant changes on the surface, she had already grasped Li Rui's pulse! The two soared into the air and instantly vanished from their original spot; no one dared to pursue them in such a moment.
Li Rui's wish had been partially fulfilled; the first member of the Royal Family he killed was the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wang Family, and perhaps he would never return here again!
"Are you okay?"
"I'm not dead yet, just feeling a bit uncomfortable. Let's find a place to rest," Li Rui said with a bitter smile.
During the process of calming down, Li Rui kept pondering a question but couldn't figure it out. It felt particularly strange; where did that voice come from? Moreover, it seemed there was some kind of seal on him.
However, things did not go as expected. As he slightly opened the seal, an exceptionally powerful force stretched it! And buried the voice...
Tearing open a little bit of the seal already demonstrates this level of power. If it were to be completely torn open, wouldn't that be an incredibly formidable existence?
Li Rui looked at the condition within his body and couldn't help but be astonished. It wasn't his own strength that surprised him, but rather the fact that the "Tears of the Emperor" were gone! Had they been refined? That seemed unlikely. What on earth happened...?
The latter wondered if it was possible that the recently appeared Sad Reaper had inadvertently taken away his "Tears of the Emperor."
That would truly be infuriating.
"Are you okay? You should be fine now," he said.
Li Rui nodded, feeling particularly strange. Previously, such an injury would take at least a month to heal, but now, in less than five hours, his condition was nearly back to normal! It seemed to have something to do with his eyes.
Looking at Mo Ruxi's gloomy face, he didn't know what to say. Was she still feeling guilty about what happened earlier...?
"Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Li Rui was taken aback; that statement shouldn't have come from him! Moreover, it was she who rushed in without a second thought. Truly...
There was nothing he could do; after all, the latter was a magnanimous man! In front of his wife, he felt like a lamb. Mo Ruxi smiled in their conversation.
This was the first time Li Rui saw her smile since returning to the Falling Blossom Kingdom, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have thought this girl would remain trapped in her sorrow over this incident.
Moreover, Li Rui still had things to do next.
"The sect? I've been waiting for a long time. Is there finally an opportunity to enter the Realms of the True Person? I'm here." Li Rui forced a smile; it seemed like it was about time to register!
A fierce battle was certainly unavoidable when the time came, and right now, all Li Rui needed to do was adjust his body to its optimal state!
According to what the crazy old man said earlier, two thousand miles east of Falling Blossom Kingdom should be in that direction. Li Rui pondered deeply, furrowing his brow slightly.
Is this guy trying to fool me? Forget about any Sect holy land; there isn't even a fly around. It's really frustrating.
Li Rui was searching nearby, wondering if he might have gone in the opposite direction!
Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly felt as if his head had bumped into something, a sharp pain shooting through his skull.
Mo Ruxi quickly realized that it must be a barrier; from the outside, everything seemed normal, but inside was definitely a brand new world. Now, he just needed to think about how to get in.
"Do you know about this kind of thing?" Li Rui asked.
"Hmm? You don't know?"
Li Rui was momentarily speechless and could only follow Mo Ruxi's lead. The piece of Grand Master in his hand should still be useful for entering the Sect, right?
"You two! What are you doing here? Don't you see the sign a hundred miles away: No Trespassing! Otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Li Rui frowned slightly. Was this guy looking for trouble? But from his demeanor, it didn't seem like he had ever killed anyone.
"We're here to find the Tai Xuan Sect Sect holy land. Do you know where it is? This is my proof." Li Rui then took out a Grand Master token and handed it over to the other person.
"Follow me!" The man glanced at the token, then let out a "tch" before speaking.
Li Rui forced a smile and followed him. He couldn't help but feel somewhat powerless in front of someone who seemed so formidable despite being a Grand Master himself!
Looking at the man's strength, which had already reached the peak of True Immortal, he could be considered quite talented at such a young age. Yet, standing next to Li Rui, he appeared...
"There's a registration desk over there; go register. And hold onto this; you'll need it when you enter."
Li Rui nodded in response. In the blink of an eye, it felt like two completely different worlds existed behind him and in front of him, as if there were a door separating them.
Listening to the other party, it seemed that all of this was the doing of the Sect Master, who appeared quite arrogant.
Li Rui did not deliberately linger and led Mo Ruxi to the registration office.
"You are Li Rui, and this young lady is... let's remove your disguises first!"
Li Rui was suddenly startled, thinking he had done well, but who knew that just a glance from the other party would reveal everything...
The latter had no choice but to comply!
After registering, they were assigned to the Assessment Dormitory. Little did they know that this year's assessment had around five thousand participants, and there would be various evaluations!
Perhaps in the first round, three-quarters of the participants would be eliminated. The major sects were no exception, and most of the surrounding individuals were at the True Immortal level, ranging from the third to fifth layers of strength. Those at their peak were few and far between, and reaching Transformation level was even rarer!
Li Rui had already fought against those from the Law Realm, so what was there to fear from these "characters"? Moreover, he had little interest in the sect; all he wanted was to bring Ruo Xin home!
