Li Mo looked at everything in front of him, and glanced at Youyou who was among the large group of people following Ji Xing Canglan, but was timidly lowering her head to avoid everyone's gaze.
Her face looked bad, a little blue, but the wound caused by Huo Lingyao disappeared quickly, without any trace of blood. Li Mo recalled her previous conversation with Youyou——
"Why don't you resist Huo Lingyao? Since you can become one of the two disciples representing Shuoxing Pavilion."
Youyou was silent for a long time before she said, "I, I have been a star slave living at the bottom of the underground since I was a child. You and Senior Brother Feng live above the 990th floor. No, you have never seen the underground floor, right? It is damp and cold there, and it may be swallowed up by the underground sand flow at any time. Since I was a child, I have heard adults tell us that we are the lower class people, and no, we cannot rebel against the upper class people above the city, not to mention the unattainable Miss City Lord. This is not a question of ability, but that I have no power."
“Why isn’t it a question of ability?”
"Because fighting her and defeating her is meaningless. In the end, she will still be the city lord's daughter, and I will still be a pariah born at the bottom of the city."
But Li Mo understood.
"No, it's not just me. All those star slaves without surnames or even given names think this way. The first thing we learn from birth is to erase our thoughts. We are not allowed to think. Thinking is a sin. Rebellion is even more unforgivable. The most important thing for us is to serve the people above. Their will replaces our will."
After saying this, she smiled at Li Mo, her smile was gentle. "It's good now. I'm much better than before. I have food to eat and clothes to wear. I couldn't even eat before. I ate bugs in the sand or even soil every day just to get a little water... Even if I get beaten, so what? I have a special physique and strong recovery ability. Those injuries didn't really hurt me. Kneeling is not a very difficult thing for me. I can also have the opportunity to learn very powerful techniques... These injuries can be healed within a day."
Li Mo looked at her face where the scars were slowly disappearing and knew that what she said was true.
Every citizen of Xiaoye Luoxing City has an innate submission to Shuoxing Pavilion. It is as if they have been planted with a contract in the colorful sea of star sand, and they have abided by it generation after generation. They bow their heads and kneel on the ground...
Li Mo was distracted, Su Xun asked her what was wrong, and brought her back to her senses. Li Mo shook her head and did not look at Youyou again.
His gaze shifted to Huo Lingyao, the leader of the crowd, and then to a man in red clothes beside him. He should be her father, with his sleeves embroidered with luxurious silver starlight, holding a five-star white jade staff in his hand, and standing beside Xue Xiya with a smile that was elegant and magnanimous.
He doesn't look like Huo Lingyao's father at all.
Li Mo lowered her eyes, and Su Xun asked her what was wrong. He followed her gaze and looked at Huo Lingyao's father.
Li Mo said something to him lightly, but it made him silent for a long time.
She said: "The reason why the city lord is called the city lord is that he is the master of the city, and this master is now in name only. If you were him, would you be willing to accept this?"
……
Ji Xing Canglan and Xue Xiya looked at each other from a distance, and at the same time thought of the magical changes that happened in the early morning and the predictions of their horoscopes afterwards, knowing that they would not be able to find peace today.
But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. The Shuoxing Conference must be held. Xue Xiya has doubled the number of guards to ensure the safety of the Shuoxing Conference.
She raised her eyes and looked at the people sitting at the table. Finally, her gaze stopped on Su Xun Pei Mochu. Like Xue Xiya, she was also half-believing and half-doubting the elder's "divine revelation".
But we have to take it seriously. What if the elders are right? Considering the current situation in the world, this fact is a sign.
Then...if it wasn't her apprentice Feng Xingmu, then it must be the two people in front of her. The others were either of bland character and not fit to shoulder the responsibility of the world, or they were arrogant and unruly and could not lead the people of the world.
The latter refers to Li Mo.
Li Mo didn't know that Ji Xing Canglan didn't take him seriously. He only heard Ji Xing Canglan say: "This time, the four major sects will fight each other in pairs under the ring. The winner will be rotated by drawing lots. The final winner will get the artifact Xinghua Mingyu of Shuoxing Pavilion, which can protect the meridians and spiritual palace of the body and prevent all kinds of demons from entering. And..."
She paused for a moment and said, "If a disciple of my Shuoxing Pavilion wins the first place, he can come to my pavilion to receive the top-grade mental method and practice for half a year, and be taught by the elders and other star masters personally."
This was a huge move, equivalent to being treated as a half-time inner disciple of the Shuoxing Pavilion. The four major sects also had a tradition of exchanging disciples for further study, the difference being that the duration was half a year and the students were taught in person by a Star Lord-level great power.
After Ji Xing Canglan finished speaking, the City Lord of Xiaoye Luoxing City began to speak: "Our Xingcheng will also provide one ninth-grade rhinoceros incense lamp and ten ninth-grade Zhiling pills." As soon as the words fell, the citizens on the ground were amazed. They didn't expect that the city lord would be so generous this time. The ninth-grade elixir would not be one but ten.
But the Lord of Xiaoyexingluo City hadn't finished speaking yet. He looked at Feng Xingmu and said meaningfully: "If anyone gets the first place, they can make a request to me."
Like marrying your daughter, right?
Li Mo reacted immediately, and saw Huo Lingyao lower her head shyly, and before lowering her head, she gave Feng Xingmu a gentle look, and she immediately got goose bumps. Because when she thought of her crazy look just now, she wanted to kill Youyou, which was a sharp contrast.
Life is like a play, it depends on acting.
The elders of each Shuoxing Pavilion displayed their precious prizes one after another, which aroused envy from the audience.
After that, Ji Xing Canglan said no more, and directly stood up with his fingers and pinched the magic formula to let the spiritual energy flow out - suddenly four round light planes as white as white lotus appeared above the star array, and it was the martial arts arena.
Aerial fighting? A group of ordinary people in the audience? Li Mo raised an eyebrow.
Feng Xingmu saw her confusion, so he explained that this was the arena with the largest magic formation in Shuoxing Pavilion. It was the arena that would only be used when there was a grand event in Xiaoye Luoxing City. It would never affect the ordinary mortals below. This was also the excitement that the people of Xiaoye Luoxing City liked to watch the most.
Suddenly, the colorful starlight on the CD began to shake and slowly shrank, and everyone heard a bird cry that shook the sky - the heaven and earth trembled.
A huge divine bird with blue starlight was soaring in the sky with its long tail fluttering in the air. It flew over people's heads in an instant with just one or three gentle steps, then swooped down again, stopping suddenly above Ji Xing Canglan's head. It held a ball of light in its mouth, which slowly floated out and gently landed in Ji Xing Canglan's hands.
Ji Xing Canglan's expression changed slightly.
She also recognized this bird. It was the mount of the mysterious elder. Normally, he rarely appeared in front of people, keeping a low profile and keeping hidden. But now, just the appearance of his mount brought a powerful divine power to suppress everyone present. The majestic and terrifying pressure made those cultivators in the Condensation Profound Realm tremble slightly...
