People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 197 The King of Disguise

A week after the bloody battle of Chilei.

Compared to the bloody battlefield of Chilei, the three gates of Changyuan seemed unusually quiet.

Liu Li opened his eyes at daybreak.

As soon as he sat up, a piece of cloth was draped over his naked upper body.

"Sorry for waking you up..."

Liu Li covered Zu Ju's hand that was gently placed on his shoulder, and looked out the window again, the melancholy between his brows reappearing.

"The battle in Chilei is stabilizing, and the coalition forces are advancing steadily... Well... According to my estimation, we will be able to retake Chilei within a month, so you can rest assured, young master."

Zu Ju held Liu Li's hand in return and brushed her back with her other hand. The hot touch made her feel excited again.

"Want to sleep a little longer?"

Zu Ju hinted at something. She put her arms around Liu Li's waist and pressed her face against his back.

Liu Li smiled faintly, shook her head gently and said, "Forget it, let's rest early tonight."

Zu Ju realized that her feelings were not hidden, and her blushing face turned a little redder again.

However, since Liu Li had spoken, Zu Ju did not insist, but started to put on her clothes together.

In the early morning at Viper Gate Pass, except for the patrol team, most of the soldiers had not yet gotten up.

Because it is close to Nangao, there are only 10,000 troops left at Viper Gate Pass, and the rest have basically gone to support the Chilei front in batches.

The two walked up to the outermost city wall, which allowed them to relax and check the situation at the End Regiment camp.

"Your Highness, Zu is a military officer."

Several guards saw the two and quickly bowed to greet them.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Liu Li was not arrogant and treated everyone equally by clasping his fists in return.

After Zu Ju returned the greeting with him, her eyes flickered as she stared at his smiling profile.

Zu Ju felt somewhat complicated and uneasy about her feelings for Liu Li.

At first, she was just a soldier under Miaoying and felt sympathy for the lonely dragon heir, but Liu Li's identity and status made her feel extremely ironic.

Why is he respected by so many people as soon as he is born?

Even after more than 20 years of hard work, she still couldn't avoid wearing the golden mask and became the most unique alchemist among the people of Zhendan, being excluded from the crowd...

How unfair this world is...

The Battle of Nan Gao was about to collapse.

Zu Ju was stubborn and insisted on taking Liu Li to the top of the city wall, intending to take a gamble.

But she almost lost the bet...

Liu Li was shot by a stray arrow and fainted from shock. After that, the city was almost broken!!!

She didn't know what happened when Liu Li fainted, but she knew that when she had made up her mind to die with Nan Gao, Liu Li opened her eyes...

Those eyes were filled with all kinds of negative emotions such as confusion, fear, and despair, but they turned into hope in a very short time.

When Liu Li walked with firm steps towards the almost lost city wall with her thin body, something in Zu Ju's heart was deeply touched.

The desire to travel with him grew uncontrollably in her heart, but Zu Ju also had her own pride.

When she was twelve, she was definitely not as idle as Liu Li.

At that time, she had already relied on her extremely high talent and photographic memory to read all the alchemists' notes and was proficient in various alchemy techniques.

By the time she came of age, she was already a high-level Tantric alchemist and one of the candidates for the future sect leader.

Her attainments in alchemy were almost as good as those of the founder of Aurora alchemy, and even Binlong Zhaoming decided to summon her in person.

However, Zu Zhiyuan told her a cruel fact at this time: an alchemist would never be recognized by Weijing, and if he wanted to gain influence in Zhendan, he could only rely on various powerful people.

At present, only Weixi Province recognizes the profession of Alchemist. If you go to other places, you will only be met with countless cold stares.

Zu Ju did not believe in fate. She made up her mind that night to go to Weibei Province alone, join the anti-chaos front, and gain fame and fortune through military merit.

Miaoying kept her but did not take her out of Changyuan. Instead, he asked her to guard Nangao.

Zu Ju doubted herself and regretted her decision...

In the end, Xue Xuan's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She comforted herself like this: Although Liu Li was the offspring of Biao Long, fortunately he was just a child, and she could not be said to be climbing up the social ladder. As long as she accompanied and taught him seriously...

As a result, within two years of accompanying her, Liu Li's thoughts were quickly exposed...

But at that time, Zu Ju no longer felt disgusted. She remained as cold on the surface as before, but deep down she had some expectations for Liu Li's growth.

Liu Li didn't force her, she was also waiting for the right time.

Instead, when it was time to taste the forbidden fruit, Liu Li silently chose to study hard... and walk between life and death.

Two thoughtful people restrain their inner emotions and live together closely.

The small building of Qin College holds the most precious memories of the two.

Zu Ju gave her body and soul to Liu Li, but suddenly began to fear that she would become weak because of her concerns. However, when Liu Li's towering figure stood in front of her, she became firm in her heart.

"Liu Li..."

Zu Ju silently repeated someone's name in her heart, and felt that the whole world became colorful.

——

puff-

The sound of the blade being unsheathed was particularly harsh, but the sound of it piercing flesh and blood afterwards was even more terrifying!!!

"Young... Young Master?"

Zu Ju felt a sharp pain in her chest, and when she looked down, she saw a long sword piercing through her chest!!!

The blood-stained sword tip flashed with blue light, and seemed to be rapidly draining her life force. She only had time to murmur a few words before she collapsed weakly.

Before her vision went dark, she only saw a shadow flying towards her, followed by a deafening crash.

Boom! ! !

Liu Li's eyes widened, and he grabbed the attacker's head with one hand and smashed him against the wall without mercy.

Although the latter had already drawn his sword, he had no time to react to Liu Li's speed, and his body was instantly smashed into blue dots of light!!!

"Die!"

Liu Li protected the limp Zu Ju with one hand and reached for the place where the blue light spots gathered with the other hand.

The attacker finally began to panic. It all happened in an instant. He didn't understand why Liu Li could react so quickly and almost killed him instantly.

But he had no time to think now, he had to show his true face immediately.

The blue light flew higher and higher, and the attacker revealed his true form. In one hand he held a bird-head staff, and on the other hand he had three strange hands. Blue silk outlined the shape of a person, but inside was a darkness that could not be penetrated by eyes.

"I come here in accordance with the will of the Lord of Change..."

"Liu Li, you can't change the world, and you can't save anyone..."

The changing spirit looked down at Liu Li from above, as if the god had handed down his final judgment!
