Chapter 167 He actually...
Lu Li recalled the beginning of the "Rebellion of Drinking the Moon".
I thought of Yingxing and Danfeng's almost obsessive madness, and I thought of Jingyuan's silent pain.
I also remembered... Jingliu's despair when he fell into demonic darkness.
The tragedy of the Five Heroes of the Clouds.
The root of it all... lies in Bai Heng's death.
But if she were still alive...
Is there still any way to salvage all of this?
If it's really as I think...
Lu Li looked at Xian Yu on the bed and shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes, even he himself had to admire his own strategic planning.
cough cough.
But in the end, all of this is just my own speculation.
After all, the system only said that there was a target sealed inside, but didn't say who it was.
What if it's not Bai Heng?
What if it contains a fleeting remnant soul, or something even more terrifying?
If I rashly break the seal, will I unleash some terrible monster?
At that point, let alone averting the tragedy, I'm afraid I'll be the first to suffer.
Although it has been confirmed that Xianyu is the black knife that Lu Li is holding in the sky.
Although it has been confirmed that Lu Li, like himself, would not do anything without certainty.
Although it is already...
Lu Li looked at Xian Yu on the bed, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Anyway... well, let's open it and take a look."
After all, with my current strength, even if I release a monster, how could it possibly have the power of an envoy to instantly kill me?
If it weren't for Bai Heng, I could just put it back.
However, Lu Li stopped just as he reached out to break the seal.
Looking at Xianyu Luli on the bed, he fell into deep thought.
Speaking of which... how do we break this seal again?
Lu Li: "..."
That's true.
He didn't even know how to turn the knife back into its original form, so how could he possibly know how to break the seal?
He realized that all he wanted was to find a way to turn the knife back into its original form.
Why haven't we found a solution yet, and now we have to find a way to break this mysterious seal?
Lu Li fell into deep thought once again.
After thinking for a second, Lu Li understood everything.
Yeah, it's all this damn system's fault.
You gave me the complete appraisal, you bastard!
cough cough.
In short, let's leave aside how to turn the knife back into a regular weapon for now.
How can this seal be broken...?
"Wait a moment……"
If it's really as I think, and the one sealed in the knife is indeed Bai Heng.
When... or rather, when did "he" in that curtain of light manage to seal Bai Heng inside?
It couldn't have been marked in advance.
The only chance is...
Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even unlocking the second form of this sword requires the use of incantations.
It's impossible to use such a powerful sealing ability without any conditions.
What was he doing at that time?
One arm held Bai Heng, and the other held Xian Yu's hand...
As if remembering something, Lu Li suddenly looked at his hand.
Could it be...blood?
indeed.
This knife is bound to me.
The target of the seal must be chosen by the "sword master" himself.
That one's own blood could very well be that unique key.
This idea rekindled Lu Li's interest.
Should we... give it a try?
Reason told him that this was risky.
But emotionally, he couldn't just sit idly by.
After all, if it really is Bai Heng inside...
I remember that girl in the sky who always warmed everyone like a little sun, and I remember that resolute yet sorrowful look in her eyes at the end.
I also think of that past "self" who, like me, sacrificed his life time and time again to protect others.
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then sighed inwardly.
Although he had always wanted to distance himself from those so-called past lives depicted on the sky.
But... they kept chasing after me.
Oh shit!
It's done!
Lu Li gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
At worst, if some monster is released, I'll just use this upgraded version of the Idle Feather to chop it down!
Anyway, I now have the divine skill "Disintegration," a resurrection item that only comes once a year, so what's there to be afraid of!
Well, just saying.
—He did this definitely not because he wanted to see what the living Bai Heng little fox girl was like!
With that thought in mind, Lu Li no longer hesitated.
He took a fruit knife from the drawer, pointed it at the tip of his index finger, and took a deep breath.
To be honest, he's a little afraid of pain.
But he wanted to know the answer even more.
He closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and with a swift motion, slashed his finger open.
A sharp pain shot through my fingertip, and blood instantly gushed from the wound.
Lu Li gasped.
It really takes courage to draw your own line.
Lu Li opened his eyes and quickly placed his bleeding finger above Xianyu on the bed.
Blood droplets dripped under the light.
Then... it dripped precisely onto the black blade.
pat.
A soft sound.
The blood did not shatter like ordinary liquid when it came into contact with the black blade.
Instead, it was instantly absorbed by the blade as if it possessed a life of its own, disappearing without a trace.
next second.
"Buzz—!"
The entire feather suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly intense buzzing sound!
The blood-red patterns on the blade, which had previously only emitted an eerie red light, seemed to be fully activated at this moment, instantly shining with a dazzling light!
Lu Li was blinded by the sudden bright light and instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.
In the light.
He vaguely saw the black longsword slowly melting and disintegrating, turning into countless tiny specks of light.
These points of light hovered and converged in the air.
Gradually, a blurry human figure outlined itself.
Lu Li's heart jumped into his throat at that moment.
He stared intently at the ball of light, forgetting even to breathe.
Is that what he thinks?
Is it really... her?
As the light gradually dimmed, the humanoid silhouette became clearer and clearer.
The first thing to appear was a pair of fluffy, white fox ears.
Then came her long, smooth, silvery-white hair, like a waterfall under the moonlight.
At last.
It was a stunningly beautiful face, yet one that Lu Li found familiar.
Yes, after all, I saw it on the sky not long ago.
Although the person's eyes were closed.
But those long eyelashes, that pert nose, those soft facial contours…
She looks exactly like the fox-girl in the sky who always has a warm smile!
The light completely faded.
Xianyu has disappeared.
Instead, a silver-haired fox-eared girl wearing a Cloud Cavalry uniform undershirt sat quietly on Lu Li's bed in a duck-like position with her eyes closed.
It was as if he was just asleep.
And this person.
He was the legendary pilot of the immortal ship "Luofu," who perished alongside the messenger Shuhu in the Second War of Abundance.
Bai Heng, one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds!
Lu Li stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, feeling completely petrified.
Really...
It really is her...
Bai Heng...
Looking at Bai Heng lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Lu Li swallowed hard.
He actually did it.
They actually resurrected someone who had been "dead" for seven hundred years...
