Luo Qianning Makes Her Debut

Chapter 161 Luo Qianning Makes Her Debut

Lu Li has confirmed that those guys are probably Nurhaci's 200,000-strong Later Jin army.

Among that cluster of lights, there were a dozen or so that were particularly bright.

It's probably either a Descendant or some other powerful being.

Xingtian should be among those points of light.

Lu Li opened his eyes, but did not close the dream world.

With his current Innate Realm strength, he could easily keep the Dream World open for a whole month.

However, there's no need for full power output, so just maintaining a light drizzle is enough so as not to disrupt people's normal lives.

Pan Shuai, who was holding an umbrella beside him, asked, "Old Lu, what do we do now? Should we go find Yuan Chonghuan and inform him that the Later Jin army is about to arrive?"

"Um."

In short, after listening to Pan Shuai's question, Lu Li nodded, "Go find him and explain things clearly."

It is a place dozens of kilometers outside Ningyuan City.

Today, the Later Jin army will set up camp here. At dawn tomorrow, they will light a fire and cook a meal before marching directly to Ningyuan City!

During their evening rest, Xing Tian and the other ten Descendants would sit around the campfire and chat.

Fortunately, they were considered special guests of Nurhaci, so they had a separate area to talk in without fear of being overheard.

"This rain just won't stop, it's such a nuisance. It's making the roads muddy and difficult to conquer the city."

Hearing his teammates' complaints, Xing Tian smiled without saying a word.

Still want to attack the city?

Let's think about how to save our lives first.

However, Xing Tian will not remind them.

After all, teammates are meant to be sacrificed.

Every extra death is a blessing.

The more people die, the greater his chances of survival.

At this point, someone shifted the topic to Nurhaci, saying, "Isn't this mission world from the late Ming Dynasty a bit strange? Where did Nurhaci get 200,000 troops? And there are even more than 100,000 cavalry among them. Isn't that nonsense?"

"Could the Later Jin dynasty afford to support so many demobilized soldiers?"

"I definitely can't afford to support them, so this world is quite magical. I actually sensed that seven or eight generals are stronger than me, and you know I'm a Great Perfection cultivator."

A fair-skinned woman with a ponytail tossed her hair and asked, "Boss Tianfa, Brother Xingtian, what kind of strength do those people have?"

Xing Tian smiled but didn't say anything.

He and Tianfa were both at the half-step innate realm.

However, in terms of combat strength, they should both have the strength of the Innate Realm.

"Those people are experts at the Innate Realm."

Tianfa glanced at Xingtian, and seeing that Xingtian didn't speak, he, who considered himself the strongest in the team, answered the question from the girl with the ponytail.

"I'm not sure if I could beat these experts in a life-or-death battle, but there are definitely three or four guys among them who I felt fear when I saw them. Those guys are probably not on the same level as the others."

He glanced at Xing Tian again. "Xing Tian, ​​facing such a powerful expert, do you really have no ideas?"

Xing Tian smiled slightly, "You didn't have any ideas either."

Heavenly Punishment: "We are on the same side."

Xing Tian smiled and then went to tend the campfire.

Seeing that Xing Tian didn't want to talk, Tian Fa didn't care.

As long as the only person who can rival him doesn't try to take over the leadership of the team, that's fine.

Xing Tian naturally had no interest in this.

He was more concerned about something else: "But it's strange. Usually, although Nurhaci wouldn't allow us to know about the military situation, he would still host a banquet for us every night. Today is very strange."

He glanced around discreetly.

He then lowered his voice slightly, "Not only were we not treated to a banquet today, but there are also quite a few people watching us."

Tianfa paused for a moment, then observed the act of drinking as well.

Then his expression became slightly serious.

"There is definitely a problem."

He looked at the girl with the ponytail and said, "Xiao He, observe what they are doing."

Xiao He nodded, then closed her eyes.

The other visitors also subconsciously lowered their voices.

Although Xiao He is only at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm and has the weakest strength among the ten, she is actually very important.

Because she has other abilities as well.

One is perception.

She can look down on the earth from a third-person perspective.

However, the area is less than one kilometer.

And it's almost entirely pixelated.

It can only be clearly seen within 500 meters, and even then it's only in black and white.

Within 500 meters, it is roughly equivalent to 1080P image quality.

Another point is that she is also a formation master.

This is very important in team battles.

Soon, Xiao He opened her eyes.

Her expression was one of shock, her eyes filled with deep terror. "They're sacrificing people!"

"Human sacrifice?" Xing Tian frowned slightly.

"Yes, human sacrifice. And not only that, they seem to be planning to use human sacrifice to summon something. I saw a magic circle drawn with human blood."

Xiao He bit her lower lip, her face pale. "They sacrificed many of the Ming Dynasty civilians and soldiers they had captured, at least more than two thousand people."

None of the visitors showed any emotion.

Only Xing Tianxia consciously clenched his fist.

Xiaohe's fear also stemmed from seeing the images.

Those guys' human sacrifice involved skinning them alive, then burning them alive, and finally beheading them.

Anyone would find it disgusting.

Xing Tian's expression was serious, as if deep in thought. "So that's a sacrificial summoning array?"

"Yes, Brother Xingtian."

Upon hearing Xiao He's answer, Xing Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.

Now that Lu Li is in this world, the question arises...

Are his monstrous lovers also there?

At least one will come.

What exactly did those guys summon?

The next moment, his expression changed drastically.

Because the air seemed to have frozen.

Something has come out.

"Ningyuan City is beyond saving. I absolutely cannot send troops to its rescue. Please return."

"Even with a scorched-earth policy, Ningyuan City won't hold out for long. Sending reinforcements now will only result in unnecessary losses. Shanhaiguan can only hold off the enemy; you needn't trouble yourselves. Guards, see the guests out!"

Outside Shanhaiguan, Lu Li glanced back at the pass, which lay there like a giant beast in the night, then sneered and turned to leave with Fang Yuebai and Pan Shuai.

Pan asked, "Old Lu, are we just leaving like this?"

"What else can we do? That coward can't possibly offer any help."

Lu Li has made up his mind; he will kill him in a couple of days.

If we kill him now, Shanhaiguan will easily descend into chaos.

Let's deal with the Later Jin army first.

The next moment, the raindrops stopped in mid-air.

The wind no longer blows, the clouds no longer drift.

Several birds flying high in the sky, braving the drizzle, remained suspended in the air like specimens.

A feeling of oppression, so intense it was hard to breathe, weighed on everyone's hearts.

But less than a second later, everything returned to normal.

It was as if what happened just now was all an illusion.

Lu Li clutched his violently pounding chest, breathing heavily.

It took him about a minute to recover.

Looking up, Lu Li saw that Pan Shuai and Fang Yuebai also looked shaken, but not as exaggerated as him.

Looking around, most of the merchants and refugees fleeing into Shanhaiguan were in the same situation.

And all the livestock were kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up no matter how much we pulled them.

They were even trembling.

"You all felt it, didn't you?"

Lu Li looked to the north, "The big one is coming, no, the big one has already come."

Although the high-energy reaction just now was only momentary, Lu Li did feel it.

Even though it has now disappeared, Lu Li knows that it was not an illusion.

Of course, Lu Li soon stopped dwelling on this point.

He looked up at the figure slowly descending from mid-air, speechless with emotion.

Her appearance is so beautiful it's almost superhuman, with a blend of Eastern and Western features.

She has fair skin and long, shiny silver hair that reaches her hips.

The upper half is straight hair, and the lower half is curly hair.

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall.

Her bright almond-shaped eyes were heterochromatic.

The right eye is pink, and the left eye is purple.

Wearing white lace long-sleeved gloves, she held a pink and white folding fan with lace trim in her left hand, and a large pink and white parasol in her right hand.

She was wearing an elaborate and gorgeous long dress with puffy sleeves, the top being purple on the left and pink on the right, and the skirt being pink on the left and purple on the right.

Her legs, over a meter long, were encased in brown leather shoes and white stockings.

Luo Qianning.

Looking at Luo Qianning, who landed in front of him with a beaming smile, Lu Li smiled helplessly. "Last time it was Ji Mo, this time it's your turn? So what am I supposed to do this time?"

"It wasn't originally me, but I reversed the outcome, turning the result of 'Luo Qianning will not descend' around." Miss Luo covered the lower half of her face with her folding fan.

A broad smile is an example of this.

Lu Li: "."

That's absolutely outrageous!

Is it really possible to do something like this?

Besides, Miss Luo hadn't even arrived yet, right?

It seems these girls' abilities are even more outrageous than he imagined.

Or rather, it was more flexible than he had imagined.

"By the way, this matter is actually quite simple, but Mr. Lu, you're too weak." Luo Qianning still used her folding fan to cover her full lips. "So you need to come with me for special training~"

Lu Li frowned, "But I still have to go to Ningyuan City to resist the Later Jin army."

"Oh, none of that matters anymore. I've already sacrificed 50,000 of the Later Jin's 200,000 troops to me," Luo Qianning said casually. "Ningyuan City can hold them off, as long as we get to Shanhaiguan before they attack. Before that, I need to give you some special training, Mr. Lu, otherwise you're too weak."

"Mr. Lu, you rely too much on Bai Muli's abilities. Although abilities are part of strength, it makes it easy for others to find your weaknesses. Therefore, you need to improve in other areas."

Lu Li remained silent.

Indeed, he now possesses the innate realm, along with the sword techniques he has learned and the "Eye of Color" that allows him to see through weaknesses.

However, if the dream world were removed, he might not be able to defeat any expert with the strength of the Innate Realm.

After all, those who reach the Innate Realm are forged through countless life-and-death battles.

Just a few months ago, he was just an ordinary office worker.

If it weren't for the cheat code, he would have died countless times already.

"To be honest, that's true."

Seeing that Lu Li was persuaded by her, Luo Qianning went a step further, "Mr. Lu, then come with me, I'll take you to special training."

Lu Li turned to look at Pan Shuai and Fang Yuebai. "They're my friends, can they come along?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible."

Luo Qianning glanced at the two people, her gaze lingering briefly on Fang Yuebai's face before their eyes met and looked away.

Luo Qianning suddenly felt very annoyed. "They won't be in any danger, Mr. Lu, just come with me."

She casually tossed a stack of small white paper cutouts in human shape into Fang Yuebai's arms. "These are paper figures I got from the Underworld King. These should be enough to protect her."

When she said "she," Luo Qianning emphasized the word.

However, Lu Li didn't recognize it.

Or perhaps he heard it but pretended not to, assuming that Luo Qianning was jealous.

In situations like this, you have to learn to play dumb.

This is the best way to avoid a chaotic situation.

Of course, it's also terrible.

"Alright then."

Seeing that Luo Qianning had thought of all this, Lu had no choice but to comply.

And he really does want to become stronger.

So he instructed Pan Shuai and Fang Yuebai to stay inside Shanhaiguan and that he would come back to find them after he finished his special training.

As Fang Yuebai watched Lu Li and Luo Qianning leave, the gentle and intellectual smile on her face vanished.

She stared blankly at Lu Li's disappearing figure in the distance, her eyes as still as death.

Then she turned around and walked towards Shanhaiguan.

Pan Shuai followed behind her three meters away, equally expressionless and silent.

The two returned to Shanhaiguan.

All the other passersby, including the guards, seemed to ignore the two of them.

Before entering Shanhaiguan, Fang Yuebai looked back at the distance one last time.

"Tsk, looks like I'll have to bring Li Tingchan over to cause some trouble."

"Where is this?"

Lu Li was walking quite fast with Luo Qianning, but Luo Qianning was not satisfied with the speed and suddenly pulled him back.

His vision blurred, and then he found himself in an antique-style house.

"The capital city, the capital city."

Luo Qianning blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes. "Mr. Lu, don't be so afraid."

Lu Li shrank back after hearing her say "Beijing".

Now it's shrunk even further.

"You might not believe it if I told you that we're a man and a woman alone together, but I'm really scared."

With Li Tingchan and Ji Mo's examples serving as cautionary tales, he couldn't afford to be complacent.

"It's different now. I'm in my original form." Luo Qianning kindly comforted Lu Li. "I can't actually use any power right now. After all, I'm too strong. So if I use even a tiny bit of power, this world will be destroyed. Then, Mr. Lu, you'll have no choice but to leave this world with me."

But she didn't want to do that.

Even if Lu Li really wanted to leave, she hoped it would be Lu Li's own choice.

Or to put it another way.

No matter what choice Lu Li makes, she will stand by Lu Li's side.

After all, her relationship with Lu Li was closer than that with Bai Muli and the others.

Everything she was in was simply following Lu Li's will.

So although she is an ancient demon and a conceptual demon, like Li Tingchan, she should also be one of the most human-like demons.

"Oh?"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because the moment she brought up that she couldn't use her powers, Lu Li perked up.

"Are you sure you're completely unable to use your strength right now?"

"Mmm." Luo Qianning nodded. "The passive ability is still there, but the active ability is not. Neither the ability to reverse the degree of power nor the power of a simple demon can be used."

Lu Li was overjoyed. "Alright, can you put the fan away now? I prefer more open communication."

"Of course, don't take the opportunity to take off your clothes."

Luo Qianning was taken aback, and then her face flushed red.

She already understood what Lu Li wanted to do.

But after biting her lower lip, she still put away the folding fan.

Now, no matter what she says, what she says will be the opposite of what she really thinks!
