Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 458 Leaving, Luoshan City

After eliminating the potential threat of Chen Dong, Li Zhi focused all his attention on his own situation.

After some investigation, he was horrified to find that all his meridians had been severely damaged, and the injuries were extremely strange, as if they were eroded by a strange force. Even the living wood qi, which had always been like the elixir of Laozi, always able to pull him back from the gates of hell at the critical moment of life and death, was now unable to play a healing role.

For Li Zhi, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a difficult situation.

In the past, whenever the Living Wood Qi was used, his injuries would always heal quickly, but now it has inexplicably become ineffective.

In desperation, Li Zhi could only think about whether he could find some herbs nearby and try to refine healing pills to alleviate the current predicament.

Fortunately, after careful examination, he found that although the injuries in his body were strange, they were not life-threatening, which made Li Zhi feel relieved a little.

After checking the body, Li Zhi began to search for the things he was carrying.

Upon checking, he discovered that the delusion that had been hidden in his arms had lost its breath and turned into a drop of pure black water.

Li Zhi gently held up the drop of mysterious water in his palm, and a sour feeling arose in his heart, and he sighed secretly.

Although this demon was evil in nature, it had accompanied Li Zhi and his companions all the way and had never had any bad intentions towards them. Instead, it had lent a hand to Li Zhi and his companions at many critical moments and provided them with a lot of help.

Li Zhi originally knew that it had profound cultivation and great Taoism, but he did not expect that it would not be able to survive this disaster in the end.

Feeling the watery scent emitted by the mysterious water, Li Zhi's eyes flashed and his mind was filled with thoughts. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to put this drop of mysterious water away properly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhi opened the bag containing the mosquito demon.

Originally there were dozens of mosquito monsters left in the bag, but now, they were all lifeless and turned into shriveled dead mosquitoes.

Fortunately, the mosquito demon that was transformed by Li Zhi's spiritual power still remained in the cocoon shape.

Li Zhi sensed it carefully and found that although the breath was extremely weak, it still persisted tenaciously.

Seeing this, Li Zhi secretly comforted himself, fortunately he had successfully enlightened this one, otherwise, the army of mosquito demons that had been of great help to him would have been completely wiped out.

Although it was not clear what kind of changes this mosquito demon would undergo in the future, Li Zhi was still full of anticipation and carefully put it away.

Then, Li Zhi turned his gaze to the black sword in his hand.

At this time, the black sword had left the territory of the Great Wei and was no longer suppressed by the majesty of the Great Wei's national destiny. However, because it had been soaked in the water of the Black Water River before, the originally lively eyes on the sword were now tightly closed.

Li Zhi knew that the hundred-eyed insect that transformed into the black sword was seriously injured, and he had to find a way to recuperate and nourish it as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Li Zhi looked at the five copper coins in his left hand.

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, the five copper coins instantly emitted a faint light.

In an instant, a gust of cold wind blew, and five blue-gray ghosts appeared out of thin air in front of Li Zhi.

These five little ghosts looked murderous, but they were actually very smart.

It turned out that these five little ghosts had been hiding in the copper coins, and they were the only ones that were not harmed in this incident.

Seeing that the five little ghosts were safe and sound, Li Zhi was completely relieved.

These five little ghosts are very powerful. If Li Zhi encounters a dangerous situation again, with them by his side, he will have more confidence and more support to deal with it.

After the examination, Li Zhi had a clear understanding of his current condition.

Li Zhi intended to refine the drop of mysterious water left behind after his death in order to activate the kidney water in his five internal organs that had not yet been activated, thereby increasing his strength.

After all, he is the only one left now. If he encounters some powerful monsters or evil spirits, or people who practice cultivation, Li Zhi is afraid that he will find it difficult to deal with them.

However, although he was eager to refine the drop of mysterious water immediately, his reason told him that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

Although this area does not belong to the Great Wei, it is close to the border of the Great Wei. With such a big commotion and so many deaths, there is no guarantee that the Great Wei will not send people to investigate.

Li Zhi didn't want to be asked to go back just after he came out of Wei.

Based on Li Zhi's understanding of the Wei Dynasty, he would definitely not have an easy time if he fell into the hands of the Wei Dynasty alone.

So Li Zhi quickly packed up his things, took off all his blood-stained and pungently smelling clothes, and put on a piece of coarse cloth he found in the thatched hut.

After tidying up, he quickly left this bloody place.

 …

Yongguo, Zhanzhou.

Outside Luoshan City, thick smoke rolled like a ferocious beast, and the smell of burnt and blood in the air was nauseating.

The wounded and corpses were lying all over the ground, with broken arms and legs scattered everywhere, like a tragic apocalyptic picture.

At this time, the gates of Luoshan City opened, making a dull and long sound, as if wailing for this bloody conquest.

A group of people who looked like beggars gathered at the city gate.

They were dressed in tattered and patched clothes, with layers of dirt piled on their faces and bodies, making it almost impossible to recognize their original appearance.

There was still a trace of post-war relief on their faces, but their eyes were filled with tension and anticipation, as if they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of some important person.

Not long after, Zhu Gui's familiar figure slowly came into everyone's sight.

He still looked like a wealthy man with a big belly, a round figure, but his steps were steady and powerful.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated scene around him. The luster of the satin shimmered slightly in the sunlight, highlighting his uniqueness.

When Jin Zai saw Zhu Gui appear, he immediately walked out of the crowd quickly.

He stood tall and straight, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath. Although he exuded a murderous aura, he unconsciously restrained his edge in front of Zhu Gui.

He saluted with his fists, his movements crisp and clear, and said in a loud voice, "Greetings, foster father! Fortunately, Jin Zai has fulfilled his mission and has captured Luoshan City!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gui showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded repeatedly, and his eyes were full of approval.

He quickly stepped forward, grasped Jin Zai's hand, and with concern in his eyes, he asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

The ferocity of the past had long since faded from Jin Zai's scarred face, replaced by a coldness as icy as a thousand years of ice. He remained expressionless, his tone calm, and he replied, "Just a few minor injuries, nothing to worry about. It's nothing serious."

At this time, a woman behind Zhu Gui said softly: "Let Mr. Zhen take a look..."

The sound is like the gurgling water, clear and pleasant.

Upon hearing the voice, Jin Zai turned his gaze towards the woman.

I saw that she was very young, about the same age as myself, with a pretty face, like a delicate flower blooming in spring.

Despite living in Zhanzhou, a dangerous place where the strong prey on the weak and eat people without leaving any bones, she still dressed carefully and wore bright and beautiful clothes.

However, Jin Zai knew in his heart that the woman in front of him was no simple person.

She was originally the jewel in the crown of the Mingdong Chamber of Commerce. After they successfully conquered the Mingdong Chamber of Commerce not long ago, she was adopted as a daughter by Zhu Gui and named Shuiyue.

Jin Zai had very little contact with Shui Yue, but from various signs, he could keenly perceive that this seemingly weak woman actually had a hidden edge and was by no means an ordinary person.

After all, how could someone who was favored by Zhu Gui and adopted as his daughter be mediocre?

Thinking of this, Jin Zai's gaze fell on Mu Ya, who was standing side by side with Shui Yue behind Zhu Gui.

Mu Ya has a slender figure and eyes as deep as the abyss, exuding an elusive mysterious aura.

He is also Zhu Gui's adopted son. He is ruthless and meticulous, and is an extremely difficult and tough character to deal with.

There were two other people like them who were adopted as Zhu Gui's sons and daughters.

Zhu Gui is a man of extraordinary means. Since he came to Zhanzhou, his power has grown rapidly, like a prairie fire, unstoppable.

After successfully conquering the Mingdong Chamber of Commerce, its strength is enough to compete with the Fengtian Gang, the largest force in Zhanzhou.

The Luoshan City that Jin Zai captured at this moment was one of the important strongholds of the Fengtian Gang.

Jin Zai looked at everything in front of him and thought to himself: Zhu Gui is going to unify Zhanzhou...
