Lu Beiyou and Li Nanju arrived at a withered mountain in the blink of an eye.
The moment the two of them landed, Lu Beiyou immediately threw a punch at Li Nanju's face, and Li Nan also threw a punch back at him, not wanting to be outdone.
No one used their spiritual energy. It was as if they were all fighting against each other.
In the blink of an eye, both of them had bruises all over their faces, and they were gasping for breath as they laid on the ground.
"Tangerine, you've killed me once. I didn't expect that I'd still be alive, right?"
Lu Beiyou lied down on the ground with his eyes closed and gasped at the sky, while Li Nanju hid to the side and rubbed his swollen face.
Hearing Lu Beiyou's words, he stopped what he was doing and sat on the ground, looking up at the sky.
"I thought you were dead too, I didn't expect you to survive."
"This isn't like you, you weren't like this before."
A ragged little boy was searching for food in the forest when he suddenly saw a boy who was roasting food. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the food in his hand.
When the boy who was roasting the food saw him, he extended the food in his hand with a smile.
"What's your name?"
"Li Nanju."
"Oh, that's too troublesome. From now on, I'll call you Tangerine."
"... "As you wish."
This was the first time Li Nanju and Lu Beiyou had met.
The little boy who roasted food was Lu Beiyou, and the little boy in tattered clothes was Li Nanju.
"Back then, you were much cleaner and cleaner than you are now."
Li Nanju looked at his hands, his eyes could not help but become a little dazed, "That's right, people whose hands are drenched in blood, how can they be worthy of the word 'clean'?"
Saying that, she ruthlessly rubbed her cheeks with both hands. "We all dreamed of changing this world, but what? You chose to escape, and I returned to the family. This world was truly inhumane. Don't we all understand the principle of the law of the jungle? "
Lu Beiyou said indifferently: "So this is the reason why you killed me?"
Li Nanju lowered his head, his expression could not be seen, "You and I both know this very well, what bullsh * t Heaven Ranking! The only two who can stand at the top are you and me. If you choose to escape, then only one person can stand at the peak, otherwise, even if I stand at the peak, I would still feel uneasy. "
Lu Beiyou roared, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.
"You can leave, but only one person can survive the next time we meet."
Li Nanju shook his head instead, "If I had indeed treated you as my imaginary enemy before, you wouldn't have said that now?"
Lu Beiyou propped himself up and said solemnly: "What do you mean?"
Li Nanju extended his hand and drew a line in the air, and suddenly a crack appeared in the air, dense amounts of Spirit Qi spreading out from the crack.
Lu Beiyou could not help but frown, he suddenly remembered that Li Muniu and the man in the space of consciousness had talked about a rift, could it be that it was the person in front of him?
Li Nanju explained: "If it was you and I who were fighting before, then it would be fine, but I realized that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth has become much denser compared to before, and as a result, I left the Li family and stepped into the Nine Continents. I discovered that many places had crevices like these, and what is even more inconceivable is that these crevices can only be seen by people with Mahayana Stage or above, which means only those who have touched the Immortal Path can see."
Lu Beiyou reached out his hand, realizing that although he could see, he couldn't touch it.
"Although you have recovered your memories, your cultivation has yet to recover. So, you cannot touch it. It is likely that your hidden awareness has been protecting you this entire time."
Lu Beiyou nodded his head, he had previously rejected the mysterious man's gift from the dream.
"What do you mean?"
"The Heaven and Earth aura is recovering. This might be a good thing for the cultivators of this world. However, you should also understand the true pros and cons of it. You should have also seen that mysterious dark palace right? "
Lu Beiyou suddenly thought about the black palace he saw in the picture of 'Wu Zhang'. Could it be related to that?
Li Nanju already had an answer when he saw Lu Beiyou's expression.
"So next, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"I refuse."
After Lu Beiyou heard Li Nanju's words, he directly opened his mouth to refuse without thinking.
"I can forgive you for almost killing me before because I was worried about our last friendship. After all, you once saved my life. "From then on, we don't have to get involved in each other's business. As for the things you said, they have nothing to do with me and I don't want to get involved. That's why I rejected you."
Then, without a second thought, he disappeared.
After Li Nanju heard Lu Beiyou's words, he sat on the ground without moving for a long time and lightly said: "Do you think that you can get rid of him just by refusing? Last time you chose to escape, how can you escape this time? They will eventually find you and me. At that time, who can escape from fate? "
Lu Beiyou returned to the tavern and sat in front of Lu Shouhuang, asking him, "So old man, what are you looking for me for now?"
Looking at Lu Beiyou who was completely different from before, Lu Shouhuang suddenly became nervous, his hands that were full of calluses rubbed under the table with all his might.
"I'm just asking, are you willing to go home?"
Hearing Lu Shouhuang's words, Lu Beiyou became silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became especially awkward for a moment.
Gu Maner who had been sitting in front of the table the whole time knew that what he was about to say was not something he could listen to, so he walked towards the backyard first.
"When I was young, you were busy with family matters. My parents are nowhere to be found, and you never did. I chose to leave home, and you never sent anyone to find me. "
After saying that, Lu Beiyou paused, adjusted his emotions and continued to speak: "If it wasn't for my eldest senior brother bringing me back to my sect, I wouldn't even know where I would have died. Now that you've appeared before me and asked me if I'm willing to go home and then put on an elder's attitude in front of me, can you give me a reason to convince myself to go home? "
"Back to that ice-cold, emotionless clan."
Lu Shouhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly as the corner of his mouth twitched. If his subordinates saw Lu Shouhuang's expression, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
The Patriarch of the Lu Family, who was known for being cold-blooded and decisive, had an extremely complicated expression on his face right now: regret, anxiety, loss, and sadness.
Lu Shouhuang picked up the jug of wine in front of him, shook it and discovered that there was not a single drop left, then placed it on the table.
He lowered his head and said: "But your surname is Lu after all, and my Lu Family blood flows in your body, isn't that so?"
Hearing Lu Shouhuang's words, Lu Beiyou started to re-evaluate the old man in front of him.
The current him was not like the Patriarch of the Lu Family who decisively killed others, but more like a destitute old man who had lost everything.
Lu Beiyou's heart couldn't help but hurt, and in the end, he sighed and said, "Give me some time to think it over, okay?"
