The City Lord's figure instantly vanished from the Soul Prison.
Youlan was momentarily lost in thought. Suddenly, she turned and looked at Li Shuang.
"Did you see that?"
Li Shuang was a little confused: "See what?"
"The City Lord's heroic demeanor!" Youlan's voice trembled with excitement.
This was her first time witnessing such a battle up close.
The City Lord truly was the City Lord.
That traitor, Mu Xiao, was clearly one of the most powerful experts in the human world.
Yet, such an expert couldn't even withstand a single move from a mere clone of the City Lord.
The City Lord remained the City Lord, powerful beyond comparison.
"Why is your expression so calm?" After a moment of excitement, Youlan turned to Li Shuang, dissatisfied.
Everyone present was thrilled, but Li still had that same unexpressive face.
Li Shuang sighed helplessly: "I naturally have fewer expressions."
Youlan glanced at her: "No one can fail to be captivated by the City Lord's heroic demeanor! It's just that you, having been with the City Lord day in and day out, naturally have a stronger适应性."
As she spoke, a hint of jealousy appeared on Youlan's face.
Li Shuang: "..."
She quickly said, "The City Lord asked us to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Are you sure you still want to waste time here?"
Youlan forced herself to calm down, still muttering, "This is the first time the City Lord has met with me alone. I absolutely cannot mess this up."
She even took out a mirror and began tidying herself up.
Li Shuang: "...Not alone. I'm coming too."
Youlan pretended not to hear, meticulously tidying herself until every strand of hair was perfect before stepping into the teleportation array with Li Shuang.
Having gone through a life-and-death situation together, their relationship was clearly closer than before.
Seeing Youlan's nervous expression, Li Shuang couldn't help but tease, "You're sweating."
Sweating?
Youlan quickly wiped her forehead, then glared at Li Shuang.
This person looked cold and expressionless, but was actually quite mischievous!
Where was she sweating?
Li Shuang lightly coughed: "You are already perfect. Let's go, the City Lord's Mansion is right ahead."
"I was already perfect to begin with," Youlan mumbled, following her in.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
This time, it wasn't a phantom receiving them, but the City Lord's thunder-elemental clone.
Yu Jin stood with her hands behind her back, seemingly deep in thought.
When the two entered, she turned and looked at them.
"Greetings, City Lord." Li Shuang and Youlan bowed respectfully.
Yu Jin smiled: "You two did very well this time."
Li Shuang said: "It is our honor to help the City Lord expose the human traitors."
Yu Jin glanced at her and smiled: "You are quite shrewd."
At first, she might not have understood.
But when Mu Xiao appeared, the City Lord, who was previously severely injured and on the verge of death, instantly became incredibly powerful. What was there not to understand then?
Yu Jin stated directly: "This time, you two jointly eliminated many demonic species. You also faced life-and-death situations and cooperated with me to uncover the hidden high-level demonic species within the human race. These are great merits. I called you here to bestow some rewards."
Yu Jin glanced at Li Shuang and Youlan, then gently pointed a finger, and two medicinal pills shot into Li Shuang and Youlan's bodies.
The two instinctively swallowed them.
The next moment.
The vital energy they had expended in the battle was instantly replenished.
Not only that, Li Shuang's spiritual cultivation shockingly soared, finally breaking through to the peak of the Soul Transformation stage!
At this point.
Li Shuang's spiritual cultivation and soul cultivation were both just one step away from breaking through to the Integration stage.
Youlan's cultivation also increased to a certain extent, but she was already at the Integration stage, so the increase was not very noticeable.
"These pills were personally refined by Ye Hongyao. They are rare, perfect pills with no side effects. You don't have to worry about an unstable foundation," Yu Jin said casually.
Li Shuang's expression changed.
Information had also appeared in her Heaven and Earth Forge.
"Perfect-grade sixth-order Vigor Pill: Instantly restores the cultivator's state to peak condition and boosts spiritual cultivation to a certain extent. A perfect-grade pill with no pill toxins, can be consumed without limit."
No pill toxins!
Can be consumed without limit!
This was quite tempting.
However, looking at the price of 100,000 value points given by the Heaven and Earth Forge, Li Shuang was forced to calm down.
One pill for 100,000!
This was something she couldn't afford!
However.
The biggest gain was that the Heaven and Earth Forge had analyzed this sixth-order Vigor Pill and had already deduced the perfect-grade seventh-order, eighth-order, and even ninth-order Vigor Pills.
In the future, in a life-and-death situation, a Vigor Pill that could instantly restore all strength would be a life-saving item!
"Thank you for the City Lord's reward." With Yu Jin's help, Li Shuang and Youlan instantly digested the medicinal power, and both repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
Yu Jin smiled: "Your contributions in eliminating the demonic species will be converted into points for you. Since you two faced the enemy together, we won't calculate whose contribution was greater or lesser. Each of you will receive 500,000 points."
A massive sum of money instantly appeared in both their Myriad Law Eyes.
Li Shuang was invigorated.
With these points, she could purchase the blueprint for the cross-continental teleportation array!
Even including the cost of materials for setting up the array, it would be more than enough!
Thus.
As long as the Sword Sect was willing, their entire sect could move to the Central Continent without any problems!
"A cross-continental teleportation array consumes more resources and requires more points the more people are transported. The points you have should be enough to transport all the people from your sect over," Yu Jin said in a good mood.
She didn't want Li to have the idea of getting something for nothing, and she wouldn't give unconditionally. What Li wanted to do, she had to earn it herself.
She knew that Li couldn't let go of the people from the Sword Sect. Now, the points she had were enough to bring an entire sect over. She believed they would soon meet in the Central Continent.
"Cross-continental teleportation array?" A bewildered look appeared in Youlan's eyes: "Why would one buy such a thing?"
For them, who were already in the Central Continent, this item was expensive and useless, completely a white elephant.
Li Shuang looked at Youlan with an embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I had the City Lord lie for me before. I am actually not the daughter of the City Lord's old friend. Let's reintroduce ourselves."
Li Shuang cupped her hands: "Li Shuang, a disciple of the Sword Sect, from the Southern Azure Continent."
Youlan was instantly stunned.
Her arrogant face was now filled with confusion.
Li Shuang...
Sword Sect...
Southern Azure Continent???
When these words were put together, she couldn't understand them at all!
Youlan's lips trembled.
Losing to a peerless genius meticulously nurtured by the City Lord was something she resented but could understand.
But losing to a cultivator from the Southern Azure Continent...
Youlan looked helplessly at the City Lord.
