Chapter 398: Not from this world
Upon hearing this, Shikong raised his eyebrows playfully, his eyes filled with inquiry, "You are not from this world, so what does Li Shizhang's sweetheart have to do with you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Nian's expression went blank for a moment, and his head was buzzing.
But she quickly calmed down and said in a calm voice, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Tell me, what method did Heaven use to bring you back from this other world? What was your original world like?"
Shikong stared at her and spoke every word, as if he was truly curious.
Li Nian's hands in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, his brain was working rapidly, and his eyelashes drooped, casting a gloomy shadow.
"What other world? I really don't understand what you are talking about. You might as well ask the Heavenly Dao yourself!"
"Don't be afraid. I'm not that powerful. I just got a glimpse of your previous illusion and made a vague guess." Shikong said quietly.
Li Nian pursed his lips and said nothing. The more he spoke, the more he revealed.
"Seeing your reaction now, it confirms my suspicions." Shikong didn't care whether Li Nian admitted it or not. "You were dragged into this vortex for no reason. Don't you want to go back?"
When Li Nian heard this, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly.
Shikong walked slowly closer, with a subtle temptation on his face, his dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and his voice was soft.
"Li Nian, you want to return to the world that originally belonged to you, right?"
Li Nian suddenly looked up, his pupils dilated slightly, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.
"I can help you return to your world, as long as you promise to stay here and stop interfering in the affairs of the cultivation world."
Before Li Nian could answer, the jade in the palace suddenly exploded. He ignored the boundless pressure pouring out from the Book of Heaven and Earth and spoke in an urgent voice.
"Master, he lied to you. There's no way to go back. If he really had a way, he would have taken control of your hometown long ago."
It was like a loud thunderclap, Li Nian staggered a few steps, her face pale. She swung her palm back to create distance between herself and Shikong.
"roll."
She closed her eyes tightly, but she couldn't stop the sourness in her throat. Her heart seemed to be cut open by a sharp knife, and it was covered in blood.
It hurts, it hurts.
Although Yu Shi was afraid, he still said, "Master, if even the Heavenly Dao cannot do something, then Shi Kong will never be able to do it."
Li Nian took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, a self-deprecating arc appeared at the corners of his lips, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
"Shikong, I hate being lied to the most. No matter what, I, Li Nian, will never join forces with you."
Shikong stared at her and suddenly chuckled. Although he didn't know why Li Nian suddenly broke down, it didn't affect his plan.
"How could I possibly lie to you? How do you know that what I say is true? If it comes down to personal gain, those sanctimonious people in the cultivation world are more likely to deceive you."
He tilted his head, "After all, you are their only lifeline."
Li Nian stood there, silent for a long time, his whole body filled with a coldness that came from his bones.
"You don't have to waste your energy. Compared to you, I trust the people around me more."
"Oh, you're really that stupid. How about I give you some information and then you decide whether to cooperate with me?"
Li Nian's expression paused slightly, then he raised his eyes and glanced at him, his gaze as cold as ice.
"Believe me, you will definitely thank me. After all, you don't want to see Xuanhe and Jiang Yuxia die, right?"
When mentioning these two people, Li Nian's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to say something, a loud noise was heard outside.
An invisible pressure filled the air around them, and then a white figure stepped out from the void, with snow covering its brows.
Li Nian frowned, "Jing Yuan?"
Shikong was not surprised at all. He raised his eyes and looked at Jingyuan for a while. Then he said
"Jing Yuan, you're late again. What a shame, you don't know anything."
Jing Yuan looked straight at Li Nian, not even glancing at Shi Kong. He walked quickly towards the girl, his expression showing a rare anxiety.
"Li'er, are you hurt?"
Li Nian glanced at Shikong calmly before saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Jing Yuan frowned slightly, put his arm around the girl's waist, and this was not a place to stay for long, so he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Being completely ignored, Shikong's face darkened. He flicked his fingertips, and a stream of black air disappeared into nothingness, and the transparent and invisible shackles flew away.
"Jing Yuan, do you think you can come and go as you please here?"
Jing Yuan looked surprised, his dark eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was icy and indifferent.
"You dare to stop me?"
Both of them are products of nature in ancient times, one is a god and the other is a demon, and their strength is equal.
The former is creation, while the latter is destruction.
But God is always the one favored by Heaven, restraining the wildness and maintaining the divinity.
In the reincarnation of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the divine power has never declined, but has become even stronger.
Shikong shook his head and clapped his hands twice, and a crack of human nature appeared out of thin air.
"Of course not. I always make the best use of the things I have."
Li Nian's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw a girl in green clothes with her eyes closed and blood all over her body.
The most important thing is that Bu Wanyi's entire body seemed to have lost the support of muscles and bones, leaving only flesh and skin, and even his original appearance could not be seen.
Chu Xu curled her lips slightly and smiled lightly, "Do you still recognize this person?"
Li Nian's eyes suddenly widened, and he was a little dazed. He looked at Shikong with shock and anger.
"Her bones?!"
She broke free from Su Yu's embrace, her cold gaze falling on Chu Xu, whose face was sinister, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
The next moment, an invisible pressure came towards them like a tide. Chu Xu's expression twisted for a moment, and he fell heavily to his knees on the ground.
"Chu Xu, you all deserve to die."
She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the squeezed air around her seemed to crush her.
Until this time, Shikong had seen enough of the show, and then he slowly walked in front of the few people, waved his sleeves, and kindly helped Chu Xu relieve the pressure.
"Why bother making such a fuss? As long as you agree to what I just said, you can take Bu Wanyi away now."
Li Nian's eyes suddenly became sharp, his hands clenched in his sleeves, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Jing Yuan frowned slightly, his eyes swept over Shi Kong who seemed to be smiling, and a terrifying aura filled his surroundings.
"Li'er, Bu Wanyi can't hold on for much longer... It's not worth it, don't be impulsive."
Chu Xu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and forced herself to stand up. She smiled contemptuously.
"Not worth it? Li Nian, you disappeared for more than ten years. Bu Wanyi dragged his dying body across the four countries and searched the three realms just to find you."
In the face of Li Nian's stunned expression, Chu Xu spoke word by word, and every word was piercingly painful.
