Chapter 605: Necromancer
The three monks who were transcending tribulation took the lead and walked out.
Su Wan and Xie Jingyao were both monks who were transcending tribulation, and they were very friendly to the two of them.
No one expected the battle to end in this way. Such a thing has never happened in thousands of years.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Su Li.
From childhood to adulthood, Su Li has never been the kind of person who likes to show off. She has always been very quiet, likes to daydream and sleep, is rather lazy, and has not a strong sense of presence.
She is in this state when she has nothing to do, unlike Su Wan who lives a fast-paced life.
She is low-key in her work, but when she talks to others, as soon as she opens her mouth, others think she is arrogant and ostentatious.
When you are strong, even if you are arrogant and domineering, others will find reasons to praise you, saying that you are genuine and hate evil.
If you have a low level of cultivation, but speak in a tough, sharp and offensive manner, others will say that you are arrogant and overestimating your own abilities.
In their eyes, Su Li is the latter. She dares to contradict the cultivator who is undergoing tribulation. If that's not being audacious and overestimating one's own abilities, then what is that?
"Is she really a human cultivator? Why does she feel like a demon cultivator?" someone whispered.
"Yes, she looks enchanting and charming, clearly a demon. Otherwise, why would those demon beasts be afraid of her..."
In the Shanhe Continent, monsters and humans are not very harmonious, but it depends on the place.
Lianyang City happens to have a bad relationship with demon cultivators. The next city is the territory of the demon clan, and there are many demon cultivators there.
The two cities were far apart and had no contact with each other. The monsters attacked humans and monsters indiscriminately.
The city next door is called Weilin City, and there is a big demon in charge. It is said that he has the cultivation level of a Mahayana, but no one has ever seen him.
Originally, the relationship between Weilin City and Lianyang City was not that bad. The demon cultivators and human cultivators of the two cities would interact with each other, and they lived in peace for hundreds of years.
Until five hundred years ago, when another beast tide came, Weilin City and Lianyang City were both attacked fiercely by monsters.
At that time, the big demon in Weilin City was in seclusion, leaving only the deputy city lord and one or two more powerful demon cultivators, and there were relatively few demons that could fight.
Although there are many cultivators living in Lianyang City, not everyone stays at home all the time. Some of them will go out to gain experience or look for resources.
There were not many monks left in the city.
Generally, when a beast tide comes, all cultivators who come to Lianyang City must participate in killing the monsters, otherwise they will not be able to get out.
There are too many monsters. If you want to leave the city, you will be seeking death. Once you come to Lianyang City, you must abide by the rules of Lianyang City.
When encountering a beast tide, everyone in the city must do their part to help, and this is something everyone agrees on.
Generally, those who have the cultivation level above the Spirit Transformation level rush to the front line, while those who have the cultivation level below the Spirit Transformation level do the logistics.
Take care of the wounded and send them elixirs, magical tools and the like.
This is the case when there are enough people. If there are too few cultivators, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators will have to go up and be assigned to kill monsters.
Five hundred years ago, the monsters in Weilin City were on the verge of collapse from the attacks of monster beasts, and the entire city was about to fall. They took a desperate move and diverted the disaster to another place.
Most of the monsters were led to Lianyang City, causing the death of almost all the monks in Lianyang City. It was a Mahayana monk who passed by who saved them and saved Lianyang City.
The Lord of Lianyang City at that time also died in that beast tide.
After they settled down again, they began to look for the reasons and summarize the causes of the failure, and finally found that it was Weilin City.
The two sides completely fell out. Although the Lord of Weilin City gave some compensation to Lianyang City, the two sides became enemies and cut off all contact from then on.
Lianyang City does not welcome the demon cultivators from Weilin City, nor does it like demon cultivators, and forbids them from entering Lianyang City.
The same goes for Weilin City, they are not open to human cultivators.
Everyone keeps their own business.
Anyone who dares to break the rules will be killed without mercy.
If a demon cultivator from Weilin City sneaks into Lianyang City and is caught, they will punish him and kill him, and Weilin City will not interfere.
vice versa.
There is a precedent, so they have to take it seriously.
According to what they knew, the demon cultivators in Weilin City seemed to have practiced a technique in the past hundred years that could scare demon beasts.
In the past hundred years, when the beast tide came, no monsters came to harass Weilin City.
Lianyang City was disturbed by the beast tide and wanted to find a way to solve it, but they couldn't enter Weilin City.
The two parties had an agreement, which they dared not break. The demon cultivators in Weilin City were very tight-lipped and hated the cultivators in Lianyang City, so naturally they would not reveal any information to them.
There are also rumors that the Lord of Weilin City has set up a protective formation so that they will not be disturbed and are not afraid of the beast tide.
It is impossible to tell whether the news is true or false, and even if you want to steal the skills, there is no way.
They could only continue to study how to deal with the beast tide and try their best to reduce casualties.
Seeing that the monsters were afraid of Su Li, they naturally thought of the rumor and wanted to find out more.
Many people suspected that she was a demon cultivator. They also wanted to completely resolve the beast tide issue and took this matter very seriously.
Su Li continued to pick up monsters, as if she was unaware of their inquiring looks.
Seeing them talking to Su Wan and Xie Jingyao, Si Ze turned around to help Su Li pick up the corpses of the monsters.
Every time a war ends and safety is ensured, everyone will pick up demon pills and corpses of demon beasts.
These are all useful, they are spoils of war, they need to be counted and then distributed.
The person who kills the most monsters will receive a reward.
The top ten will receive generous rewards, and participants will also receive rewards, but at different levels.
Su Li only picked up the demon cores of a few high-level demon beasts. Since she was not short of money, she would not compete with others for them.
"Ari, that's all. Is that enough?" Si Ze asked.
Su Li had just told him how to choose. He looked around and found that what she wanted was not there.
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Su Li performed a cleaning spell, took off his gloves, put them away and walked to Su Wan's side.
At this time, they had finished exchanging pleasantries.
"Sister, are you done with your work? Can we go back now?" she asked gently.
Master Bai Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "Su Li, you can't leave now. The matter just now has not been resolved."
At this point his voice suddenly became stern.
"Tell me, did you push someone to stop the monster just now? Did you do it? Why did you do it?"
"Master Bai Yan, it was her. We all saw that she was the one who kicked Xiu Mei down. She has a vicious mind and must make her pay with her life."
The round-faced male cultivator said this.
The few people who were in the same team as Su Li and whom Su Li had helped hesitated.
He continued, "Master Bai Yan, is there any misunderstanding? Miss Su Li is not that kind of person. She has helped us a lot before."
A weak male voice sounded: "It was this girl who kicked him, but it was all his own fault. He pushed her first and she just fought back. Who knew that he fell down instead? I saw it clearly."
The round-faced male cultivator glared at him and said, "She saved your life before, so of course you are biased towards her. You cannot testify."
Lin Chen's face was extremely pale and he looked listless. He had not yet recovered.
He cleared his throat, bowed to Su Li, and said in a gentle voice: "I haven't asked for your name yet, please accept my three bows."
After he bowed to Su Li, he turned to look at the round-faced male cultivator, his face serious and his voice earnest: "Why can't I testify? It is because she saved me that I can't watch her being slandered. She did nothing wrong and does not need to take responsibility.
I am not an ungrateful person. I saw what happened. If you want to argue, I will fight you to the end."
The two sides started arguing, but the parties involved were just watching the show.
Master Bai Yan and the two monks who were undergoing the tribulation were having a headache.
"Let Su Li speak for herself."
Su Wan said coldly: "What are you talking about? Ah Li did nothing wrong. She never cares about others. If she cares about others, it means that the person deserves to die."
Seeing how she was protecting her fault, the three of them secretly felt that something was not good. Su Li had a backer, so even if she was wrong, they would only reduce the punishment to the minimum.
They only asked here to save face, but they didn't expect Su Wan to be so tough.
Another thing is that the monsters are afraid of Su Li, and they will not touch her until they figure out what's going on.
True Man Qingchen said in a gentle voice: "That's right, Fellow Daoist Su, we just want to ask for clarification and will not wrongly accuse anyone. If we make it clear here, everyone will not misunderstand your sister.
We will speak our mind and won’t let anyone suffer any injustice…”
Hearing this, Su Li raised her eyebrows and deliberately said, "So what if I did it? Do you want me to pay with my life? Then I want to see if you have the ability to do so.
Stop talking so much nonsense, just come together. Sister, I'm hungry, it's a waste of time to talk to them, let's go back early."
Madness!
Hearing this, their faces turned unhappy. This was a blatant provocation.
They also remembered that Su Li seemed to have used medicine powder before. When she killed monsters before, she used talismans and sprayed them, which had a very good effect.
They had never seen a talisman gun before, so they were quite curious.
Because we need to organize a team to fight against monsters, we need to register them and understand what they are good at, so that it is easier to arrange tasks.
Su Li's information shows that she is a talisman master.
Among the four of them, the two sword cultivators are both tribulation-crossing cultivators, and the two talisman masters, one is a cultivator in the out-of-body stage, and the other is a cultivator in the spirit transformation stage.
From this perspective, Su Li is the weakest one with the lowest cultivation. Unexpectedly, she is even more arrogant than her sister.
She was so quiet before, and they thought she was a gentle and taciturn beauty. But who knew she was actually an arrogant, ostentatious and prickly beauty.
Su Wan sneered and didn't want to get entangled with them any further.
When the beast tide came, the cultivators in Lianyang City could not get out and were trapped here. They could only leave after it was completely safe after the beast tide receded.
But even if there was a tide of beasts, they couldn't be trapped.
Su Wan chose to stay and help just because she didn't want many people to die at the hands of monsters.
It is more convenient to get information here. They also have to wait for Li Weiyue. If they want to pick her up, they can't run too far. It is best for them to stay in Lianyang City.
"It's very easy to handle. Don't you want to know the truth? It's very easy. I will show you the evidence. If you continue to make trouble after you have seen it, I will definitely not be polite." Su Wan said coldly.
His cold eyes swept over those people who wanted to question Su Li.
Su Wan moved her fingers, moved her red lips, and chanted a spell. After a while, a golden ball of light burst out from her hands.
Their eyes couldn't help but follow the ball of light.
The ball of light turned around and flew back.
They saw a shadow.
"what is that?"
"Oh my God! Is that spiritualism?"
"It must be Bai Xiumei's soul. How did she do it?" someone exclaimed.
The soul gradually solidified, and they could gradually see the person in the light ball.
Su Wan didn't waste any words. She cast a spell on the soul and uttered a word coldly: "Appear."
What had been discovered before was played out before them.
Everyone watched this scene quietly.
after awhile.
Su Wan asked in a cold voice: "Can you see it clearly? Who still has questions?"
They didn't come to their senses and no one said a word for a while.
Master Bai Yan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "It's all his own fault. He failed to harm anyone and ended up losing his life. He deserves what he deserves."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with Miss Su Li. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been the one to die."
"Apologize." Su Wan looked at the round-faced male cultivator and said in a cold voice.
His face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect things to be like this. Bai Xiumei's memory could not be false.
Su Li really had nothing to blame. She had clearly helped a lot of people, but some people wanted to harm her.
Everyone standing next to her at the time noticed something unusual, but they were not quite sure. They didn't understand why Xiu Mei pushed Su Li.
Only Bai Xiumei knew why he tried to push Su Li out of the city after escaping the disaster.
He just reached out and tried to push Su Li towards the monster in order to verify his guess.
He wanted to see if the monsters were really afraid of Su Li. If she really couldn't lose her life, they wouldn't have to fear the beast tide, and he wouldn't have to be so nervous, and he wouldn't have to worry about losing his life at any time.
What if there is another possibility? Hasn't he ever thought about the possibility that the monster is not afraid of her?
If she goes down, she will be eaten by numerous monsters and torn to pieces, and not even a corpse will be left.
He had thought about this outcome. If she died, she died. What did it have to do with him? It wasn't him who died anyway, and no one saw it. He could retreat safely.
The round-faced male cultivator and all the people who had previously accused Su Li were asked by Su Wan to apologize to Su Li.
They didn't dare to object and all apologized.
A small number of people who had gone to the East Gate to fight came here with Su Wan and the others.
After this battle, Su Wan and Xie Jingyao gained prestige, and people who saw them kill monsters were more convinced of them.
At the same time, they were very confident in repelling the monsters this time, and they felt that this beast tide would not last too long.
They had a hunch that the casualties this time would be the lightest.
"Sister, go back and don't talk nonsense with them."
The four of them disappeared in front of them, and the people coming from the east gate followed them.
The three monks who were transcending tribulation exchanged glances and went towards the City Lord's Mansion in tacit understanding.
The battle at the west gate and north gate was not over yet and was very fierce.
The losses at the South Gate were more serious than at the East Gate.
Seeing that many people had returned, some people were confused and asked, "Why did you come back? The beast tide has retreated? This shouldn't be the case. I just heard someone asking for support."
