Chapter 434 I am Su Buwang!
“The daughter of luck? What’s that?”
Su Li stared at Bizhui with her clear eyes. She heard “the daughter of destiny” from Su Yuanhai, and “the daughter of luck” now. The two appellations were mostly alike except for some slight differences. They mostly have the same meaning. But what did the two appellations stand for?
Su Yuanhai was not clear about that, so she had to keep her doubt inside at that time. But now…
“Senior Bizhui?”
Whoosh!
The roots shook, and Bizhui restrained his expression. He said with a smile, “The so-called daughter of luck is nothing special. The mighty luck in your body will bring you good luck whatever you do, so this is considered as a rare physique.”
Su Li nodded gently and did not ask more after a dim light flashed in her eyes.
Bizhui did not tell the truth. Physique was physique that unseparated from her own body. Even it was so rare, it couldn’t make people so crazy to bite her flesh and drink her blood.
It was obviously impossible.
“Senior, can we talk about the deal now?”
Su Li switched back to the original topic. The old eyes on the core of the Tea Plant immediately shone brightly, “What do you want?”
“I want to be the head of Jiuzhou Region.”
The smile on Su Li’s face was daunting, “I won’t forgive any people who compelled me in my previous life. And most of those people were in Yuxu Sect. I need your help, Senior.”
“The head of Jiuzhou Region?”
Bizhui opened his eyes wide and asked with a despised tone, “Are you kidding me, kid?”
“If I can melt this tactical matrix, will you still think I’m joking?”
Su Li said slowly with a smile on her calm face, “My deal is quite simple. After I release you, I hope you can help me by keeping the Grand Elder of Yuxu Sect busy for about one minute at a critical moment. After that, you can leave and enjoy the world no matter whether I succeed or not!”
Bizhui’s face faded into the core and disappeared.
He had to admit that he was moved.
Imprisoned for seven thousand years, he longed for freedom more than anyone else, but the requirement Su Li put forward…was too simple!
Too simple to believe.
“Kid!”
After a long while, Bizhui’s face reappeared on the core and became clearer than before. He stared at Su Li’s immature face and asked coldly.
“What makes me so sure that you will help me instead of luring me into another trap? After you melt this tactical matrix, don’t you worry that I will escape immediately regardless of the appointment?”
“I do!”
Su Li raised her head with a confident smile, “But I’d rather believe that you won’t offend a promising daughter of luck just because of the little favor!”
Bizhui’s expression changed. He could not figure out whether Su Li really had no idea or she was just sounding him out.
Did daughters of luck have a bright future?
It was not wrong to say that. But none of the daughters of luck in different generations died a natural death.
“The old Moxu from Yuxu Sect has not shown up for two thousand years. He is probably dead. Junior Lingxu is just at the late stage of Huashen Realm. If my seal is removed, it will be so easy to stop him for about one minute.”
The more Bizhui thought about it, the more he got excited. Recalling the shame in the past thousands of years, he fixed his eyes on the black spot on the root. Silent for a moment, he raised his head finally and spoke out suddenly.
“Junior Su Li, I need to tell you this in advance. If the Grand Elder of Yuxu Sect is too powerful, and I feel my life is in danger…”
“You can flee, and I will not have a grudge against you.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes and said loudly.
“Is this true?”
“Of course!”
“Great!”
Bizhui roared and made a decision at last. A faint red light flashed in his turquoise pupils, “Su Li, I agree with your deal. I will give you a hand if you call me in the future!”
“Senior, you are really forthright.”
Su Li relieved and smiled, “It will take half a month to melt the tactical matrix. However, if the whole tactical matrix is melted, Yuxu Sect will detect. So, I will only destroy the nodes of the tactical matrix and put fake runes into it. It will look the same as the original one but won’t restrain you.”
As she said, she made a gesture with her hands. And a transparent rune of tactical matrix flowed from her fingertips to the root which was destroyed before.
The black spot on the root disappeared instantly. Bizhui tried to sense and can still feel the flaw, but it was just invisible.
Bizhui nodded with joy, “It’s great! You have prepared well and considered thoroughly. Thank you for your arduous work in the coming half month.”
“Senior, there is no need to say thanks. It’s just a deal.”
Su Li shook her head and said in a low voice, “I can’t keep myself invisible during I melt the tactical matrix. Please give me a hand, Senior.”
“Haha, it’s a piece of cake. Just concentrate on melting the tactical matrix, I won’t let anyone disturb you!”
Bizhui laughed loudly. It mattered his freedom. Even Su Li didn’t ask, he would spare no effort to cover her.
“Then, I will start now.”
Su Li responded. Then she sat down in lotus position and cut her wrist. Blood drops flew to every node of the captive tactical matrix. Meanwhile, her hands moved quickly like a shadow and cast transparent repairing runes of tactical matrix just behind the blood drops.
Although Bizhui hid his face into the core, he had kept his eyes on Su Li’s moves. Seeing her concentration, he felt more relaxed. He even got excited in his heart and a trace of expectation emerged in his old eyes.
He didn’t know if his hometown were still there. He would never come back to Jiuzhou Region if he could regain his freedom.
The old treant was immersed in joy. He even did not notice that the dark red blood blended into the roots and spread recklessly along the veins of the plant while it melted the tactical matrix.
Bizhui did not notice all of these, and Black Lotus didn’t notice, neither.
In the ring space, Black Lotus stroked his chin and wondered, “When did Su Li find out that the blood of evil ghost could destroy tactical matrix? This old boy of Spirit Clan doesn’t look like someone who could keep his promise. Why did Su Li trust him?”
Black Lotus didn’t understand that. Su Li had never suffered losses and she had always been cheating others since her rebirth.
“It’s a little early to deal with Yuxu Sect, wasn’t it? What exactly does little Su Li think…”
Black Lotus checked the fragment in his hands and sighed, “Which treasure does this fragment belong to? It’s too broken to be recognized. She just told me to put it away but did not give me a clue. We should not go on like this!”
In the Desperate Zone for Demons, a bonfire emitted a warm glow in a world of ice and snow.
At the bonfire, two people were sitting opposite each other. Su Buwang didn’t wear clothes. He folded his arms with his blue lips shivering. And he stared at his clothes next to the bonfire. Blue icy-cold mist was rising from it.
On the other side of the bonfire sat a bearded youth who was unkempt like a beggar. Su Buwang could only see his young eyes through his messy hair.
“How reckless you were to jump into the Desperate Lake! Don’t you know that the icy cold pneuma could only be dissolved by someone above Yuanying Realm?”
The unkempt young man passed a freshly baked fish to Su Buwang. Even the young man’s face was dirty, he had a warm and gentle voice.
“I heard that there are immortals at the bottom of the lake who can grant wishes. So, I came to have a look.”
Su Buwang grinned and took the roasted fish. He bit the fish and said vaguely, “Besides, I was lucky to meet you, Senior. Your cultivation must be above Yuanying Realm. You could save me from the lake with one hand. May I have your name, Senior?”
The unkempt youth shook his head helplessly and thought, this silly boy really liked to be engaged with others.
“The spirit firewood in the Huoyan Island can speed up dispelling the cold pneuma in your body. Warm yourself at the fire lest some internal injuries will be left.”
Hearing that, Su Buwang looked at the burning firewood with his eyes shining, and he shouted surprisingly, “This is the spirit firewood in Huoyan Island. I’ve seen it for the first time.”
“Have you heard of it?”
The youth was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing, “I should have guessed that you came from a big family. Otherwise, you would have died long ago, as you came here alone.”
“Ah, that hurts, Senior!”
Exaggerated indignation was shown on Su Buwang’s face, while a smile flashed in the eyes of the youth.
Suddenly… the youth’s eyes rolled, and the common flying sword placed at his feet disappeared instantly!
Su Buwang’s pupils shrank slightly. As he turned around at once, his body was frozen and he was unable to breathe. There were indistinct tears in his eyes.
“Even I’ve escaped here, you still won’t let me go.”
Behind him, two practitioners in white hidden in the snow showed themselves. There were three. And the foremost one had put his flying sword on Su Buwang’s back and almost pierced his skin and broke his heart.
However, his head was cut before he did this.
They died so fast. Was it done by Senior?
Su Buwang was confused. Suddenly, he heard the youth’s cold and stern voice from behind. The voice was completely different from before.
“You’re from Shengtian Shrine?”
The remaining two slightly changed their looks as their origin was recognized. Without saying a word, they turned and tried to flee. But before they escaped a few feet away, they saw an incomparable bright sword light flashed in front of their eyes and penetrated through their throats.
“You are Tian…”
One of them covered his own throat with his eyes widely opened. He uttered only three words before his death.
“Tian… Tian what?”
Su Buwang blankly looked at the three people who died instantly. He turned around and found the beggar-like youth sat down again. That ordinary-looking flying sword returned to him as well.
Seeing Su Buwang was still in a daze, the youth smiled and his tone was as warm as before, “Sorry for frightening you. Shengtian Shrine has been chasing me for years. They stopped in the past few years. I did not expect them to reappear today.”
Su Buwang was confused, but he was sure that the people were sent to kill him. But the youth had misunderstood the situation and slaughtered them.
Three assassins of Yuanying Realm did not survive more than one breath. What level of power is this?
Su Buwang’s eyes were shining brightly. Because he thought that his life of fleeing came to an end!
The only self-dignity left in his heart prevented him from hugging the beggar-like youth immediately. Instead, he shouted after saluting respectfully, “Senior, please take me to travel with you!”
The beggar-like youth couldn’t help laughing, “I don’t accept disciples. Since your temperament is congenial to me, let us be friends between generations.”
“Great!”
Su Buwang responded immediately with joy. He held his fists, “I’m Su Buwang, over one thousand years old. I beg you to guide me, Big Brother!”
Pit-pat!
The roasted fish in the youth’s hands fell to the ground instantly.
“What’s your name?!”
