Li Rui waved his hand repeatedly. Although the scene was somewhat strange, seeing it with his own eyes made the oddity seem less strange.
He then listened to Old Beggar talk about the Tongfu Alliance. The past few months had been unbearable, with meals often missed and a constant struggle for survival, always needing to be aware of the surrounding situation.
What was reassuring was that Yang Wang had a special talent for winning people's hearts, even managing to bring in someone like Old Beggar, who was at the fifth level of Dharmakaya. It truly felt like adding wings to a tiger! He managed to rally support during the most difficult times.
Li Rui smiled bitterly, feeling a bit more understanding towards them. However, he was puzzled as to why the Holy Light Dynasty would send so many strong individuals over. Was there something deeper behind it?
After all, he had only castrated one prince; he hadn’t taken his life.
“Ah! Alliance Leader, you don’t know, that guy has died unexpectedly.”
“Died?” Li Rui was taken aback. Just like that? It felt like being framed, but who was framing him? The situation was somewhat complicated.
Based on his deductions, Li Rui began to recognize a familiar force.
“Xiaosheng Tower?”
Could they really engage in such despicable acts? Li Rui had handed the Water Fire Staff to the Red Ghost, yet the latter hadn’t shown any signs of involvement! Why would this issue arise?
“Tell me the location of Yang Wang and the others; I’ll head over later.”
Old Beggar’s response left Li Rui stunned. Xiaosheng Tower had actually teamed up with the Tongfu Alliance. No wonder they could recruit such formidable individuals from the latter.
“Alliance Leader, I have a feeling this is a trap set by Xiaosheng Tower. It’s particularly strange; when you go over, be sure to watch out for their leader, Red Lotus Demon!”
Hearing this, Li Rui chuckled and waved his hand confidently. He had dealt with him countless times before. Meeting again this time gave him a peculiar feeling; he seemed like a chess piece, and if the Dragon Gate candidate was also a piece, then Xiaosheng Tower would be the chessboard. As for who was playing the game, that remained unknown.
"Let's go!"
The Old Beggar, although a level or two stronger than Li Rui, felt a particularly strange sensation in his heart, realizing that he had no chance against the latter at all!
Li Rui had also gained something since entering the Zangbu Gorge; not only did he acquire some mystical herbs, but he also obtained a book on the Azure Dragon and even advanced to the third level of Dharmakaya!
Perhaps that pill had some significant power! He felt an unusual strength within himself. His source energy was becoming increasingly powerful.
At the same time, Li Rui remembered something—his Water Fire Staff was still over there! He might as well check on the situation there.
After traveling about a hundred miles, he could see a character for "dawn" from afar. Wasn't that the symbol of the Xiaosheng Building?
"Alliance Leader, be careful. When speaking with their building master, tone it down a bit, don't..."
Li Rui nodded repeatedly; he certainly understood what was going on.
Upon entering the Xiaosheng Building, Li Rui saw a charming figure sitting in a chair, accompanied by Yang Wang and others. The latter felt extremely excited but dared not move recklessly.
"It's gotten darker recently! Where has it gone to compete with the sun?"
As Li Rui spoke, cold sweat began to flow down Yang Wang and the others' backs. Would the latter even respond? This situation seemed to be on the verge of angering the Red Ghost!
He recalled that when he first arrived here, a single glance had caused a peak Transformation expert to meet an untimely end, showcasing just how terrifying their power was—beyond words to express.
"Please forgive me, Master of the Building; my brother isn't very good at conversation!"
Little did they know, as soon as that voice fell, it was glanced at by the Red Ghost, who didn't pay any attention to him but instead was sizing up Li Rui.
"Not bad! At least I have no one to sunbathe with; otherwise, life would be even better!"
Li Rui had heard this kind of voice before, and goosebumps rose all over him. During this time, he also spotted an old acquaintance—wasn't that the Red Ghost's sister? The allure of both was beyond words, and each was more "bewitching" than the other.
"Brother Rui, we meet again."
Li Rui smiled but hoped they wouldn't meet again; the smile on this guy's face was not...
Yang Wang and the others were dumbfounded by the situation and didn't know how to interpret everything happening in front of them. They couldn't help but ask about the "Holy Light Dynasty."
"Don't mention the Holy Light Dynasty; even the Four Great Families don't concern me. I was wondering where this child would go. To think it would be exactly like yours is truly surprising!" The Red Ghost suddenly smiled.
"By the way, I can't return your weapon yet; let's wait a bit and avoid the limelight!" The Red Ghost murmured, but her gaze never left Li Rui's face.
The latter felt particularly frustrated, sensing something strange; it seemed these two girls were setting a trap for him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
"You're not allowed to leave!"
These three words echoed throughout the entire hall, spoken by the Red Ghost's sister, Ouyang Lian. She cared deeply for Li Rui, and these sisters seemed to have a great interest in him.
Strangely enough, the Red Ghost showed no change in expression at all, yet her face displayed a look of enjoyment, making the scene somewhat awkward!
"Can't you stay and have dinner with me? The food is ready. Please don't keep avoiding me," Ouyang Lian suddenly stood up, causing Li Rui to twist his back in an awkward way, feeling a strange sensation. What kind of new trick was this?
"Come out!" The Red Ghost then dismissed everyone around, including Yang Wang and others. When the three were alone, he spoke.
An Old Woman stepped out. Her attire was somewhat similar to that of the Red Ghost. Li Rui initially thought she might be their master or something...
Both of them called out "Mother!" which shocked Li Rui to the core. The Old Woman's simple gaze carried a hint of weariness, as if she had seen through the fleeting beauty of the world.
"You went to Zangbu Gorge? What happened?"
Li Rui nodded repeatedly, wanting to brush it off simply, but little did he know that the Old Woman had seen through him.
"Answer me, did you see that beggar?" she suddenly shouted.
At that moment, Li Rui was startled and had never considered why the Old Woman would be so agitated. Did they have some kind of grudge? But he couldn't reveal anything. Although the beggar hadn't harmed him, it was clear that he wanted to retreat into the mountains and not be disturbed.
The latter found himself in a dilemma!
