At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

After confirming the true identity of the Green-winged Bat King, many thoughts suddenly emerged in Su Rui's mind, but after careful consideration, he shook his head helplessly. After all, with his current ability and cultivation, wanting to confront those old monsters with unfathomable strength head-on is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg and seeking death.

Fortunately, he still had Xiaotu, his capable assistant, by his side. With his mysterious abilities, he could at least ensure that those old monsters could not track his whereabouts for a short period of time. In that case, he might as well just let them run around like headless flies!

However, at this moment, Su Rui no longer dared to stay near Putuo Sect. Because no one could tell whether the old monsters behind the Green Winged Bat King were still calculating his exact location. If they accidentally injured Wu Qianqian, it would be terrible! This was definitely not a situation that Su Rui wanted to see.

Regarding the mysterious disappearance of the Green Winged Bat King after attacking Putuo Sect, Su Rui felt that those selfish, ruthless old monsters would not care too much. The subsequent handling of the incident of their siege of Tongqu County can be seen - for those subordinates who did not do their job well, these old monsters simply regarded them as grass and had no mercy at all! In their eyes, the only thing that is most important is that they can live forever, and everything else is insignificant! Even if the whole world is destroyed, I am afraid they will not care at all!

That night, the moon was like a silver plate and the stars were like gems.

Su Rui and Chi Jiao turned into two streaks of light and left Putuo Sect like two meteors, speeding towards the direction of Qiongzhou City.

After wandering in the South China Sea for a long time and facing the threat from the forces behind the Green-Winged Bat King, Su Rui became more and more concerned about his elderly parents and decided to return to Tongqu County to visit them.

He did not say goodbye to Wu Qianqian because he was not good at the lingering love affair. As for Ao Ying, he and she were just casual acquaintances. Su Rui stayed in Putuo Sect until now only because of Chi Jiao's identity as a real dragon. Now Chi Jiao was going to return to Qingcheng with him, while Ao Ying planned to stay in the South China Sea to continue practicing and wait for the tribulation to ascend!

The distance between the Three Thousand Islands in the South China Sea and Qiongzhou City is not far, and Su Rui's flying speed is now more than twice as fast as when he went out to sea. Therefore, after flying for two days, he and Chi Jiao appeared in Qiongzhou City like flying birds!

When Su Rui stepped on the land of Qiongzhou City again, he was filled with emotion. Compared with the unfamiliarity when he first came here and his full expectation of exploring the immortal palace, at this moment he actually felt a sense of intimacy like meeting an old friend again.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Qiongzhou City, every scene and every corner made Su Rui feel familiar.

Recalling the secret method of the Nine Transformations and Nine Changes of Sea Eel that he had obtained here, Su Rui suddenly wanted to meet the freckled girl known as "Boss Bao" to see if his master had come out of seclusion and whether she could refine a flying treasure ship for him?

With this in mind, Su Rui decided to visit the place where the girl practiced. Relying on his memory, he found the location of the three-story building near the sea.

However, what he saw shocked him greatly—the tall building had collapsed into ruins! On the ruins, there were traces of a fierce fight, and it was obvious that the fight had taken place not long ago.

Su Rui looked at the ruins from afar, and a trace of doubt and curiosity surged in his heart, but then he shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​looking for the freckled girl. After all, less trouble is worse than more trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

So, he patted the head of Chi Jiao beside him and prepared to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the nearby alley and knelt directly in front of him.

"My dear, please save Boss Bao!"

The voice seemed familiar. Su Rui took a closer look and was stunned - the person in front of him was actually the young man who had sold him the "treasure ship" in Qiongzhou City, the guy called "Xiao Liu" by the freckled girl!

Of course Su Rui recognized him, and the other party also recognized Su Rui. Xiao Liu's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were full of pleading.

"What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly and I'll consider whether to help you."

Su Rui reached out and helped Xiaoliu up. At the same time, he looked around and made sure that no one else was noticing them. Then he led Xiaoliu into a nearby pub and found a secluded corner to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Su Rui took a sip from his wine glass, then looked at Xiao Liu and said slowly, "You can tell me now. But let me be frank. If it's just some entangled personal grudges, I'm afraid I can't do anything. Although I, Su Erlang, have a sense of justice, I don't want to intervene in all trivial matters. I can't think of myself as the local city god, right?"

What he said was very straightforward and true. If he saw injustice and helped others, he might help if it was within his ability; but if it involved complicated interpersonal disputes or other difficult problems, he would not have the time to get involved.

"When I came here that day, I saw from afar Boss Bao and a demon covered in black air fighting fiercely. The demon made hand gestures, muttered something, and then suddenly waved his sleeves. A powerful force gushed out and directly collapsed Boss Bao's small building! Upon seeing this, Boss Bao roared, soared into the air, and started a thrilling air battle with the demon. They fought back and forth in the air, and finally flew to the sea together. I was stunned at the time, and I didn't know what to do..." The young man's face was pale, and his voice trembled as he narrated what happened that day, as if he was still immersed in fear.

"What kind of deep hatred does that demon have with Boss Bao that he must kill him?" Su Rui frowned and asked in confusion.

"I don't know! Boss Bao treats us very well on weekdays, but he seldom talks about his personal affairs." The young man shook his head and answered helplessly.

"You should have seen clearly what that monster looks like, right?" Su Rui asked.

"I didn't see it clearly! The monster was wrapped in black mist, and his face could not be seen at all. And he was very fast. I only saw a black shadow flash by, and I don't remember anything else..." The young man kept shaking his head.

Su Rui was silent for a while, thinking to himself: This young man knows nothing, it seems that there is no useful clue from him. So he asked again: "Have you looked for the city god?"

"The City God...Will he take care of this kind of thing?"

The young man hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Rui cautiously, as if he was not very sure about his answer.

"Let's give it a try. Maybe the City God will have some information that we don't know."

Su Rui sighed. At this point, he could only try his best.

The Chenghuang Temple in Qiongzhou City is large and majestic. Even though it is not a market day, the temple is still crowded and bustling.

The young man led Su Rui and Chi Jiao through the crowded crowd and came to the City God Temple. However, facing the solemn and majestic statue, he suddenly became a little at a loss.

Finally, Su Rui decided to go out himself. He was too lazy to figure out who was the temple priest of the City God Temple. He went straight to the statue of the City God and called out softly, "Qingcheng disciple Su Qinghe, I beg the City God to show up. I have something important to ask you!"

As a direct disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, he had enough confidence to talk directly with the local City God.

As soon as Su Rui finished speaking, a golden light flashed on the City God statue, and then Su Rui saw a middle-aged black-faced priest who looked 70% similar to the City God statue walk out from behind it. Several divine lines were faintly visible on his face, and his demeanor was extraordinary and majestic.

"Friend Su, why did you call me out?"

The City God is not only a priest who manages a city, but also a practitioner, but he practices Shintoism. Therefore, he called Su Rui "fellow Taoist", which was not rude, but showed some respect.

"A good friend of mine was killed by a demon here, so I came here to ask you for some advice..."

Su Rui gave a detailed description of the place where the freckled girl practiced cultivation that he saw today, and then repeated to the City God everything that the young man "Xiao Liu" had seen and heard!

After the City God appeared, the young man stood respectfully behind Su Rui, lowered his head and listened to their conversation, not even daring to breathe. Obviously, the Shinto represented by the City God has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After Su Rui finished telling the story of "Boss Bao"'s disappearance, the young man immediately fell to his knees, kowtowed like crazy, and sincerely prayed to the City God: "Please, Lord City God, save Boss Bao!"
