Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1421 - 827: Life Dragon Long Lake

Zhou Yu being able to know about the invitation list in advance indicates that his influence far exceeds their imagination, and that Sui Yi...

Everyone subconsciously looked out the window, only to see the person who had been missing for ten years sitting openly on the wooden steps, talking to someone while arranging a fruit platter... with a faint smile on her face, looking particularly captivating under the cherry blossoms.

It seemed that befriending this woman was a particularly delightful thing in itself.

Unfortunately, while Zhou Yu had devised a friendly strategy, Gong Jiu had already blacklisted them all collectively.

"I heard cherry blossoms can be used to make soup. I’ve brought ingredients, so later we can collect some cherry blossoms to make a clear soup, and if we chill it, it’s the best for cutting grease,"

Although barbecue is delicious, and they’re not afraid of the heat, eating too much greasy food can be overwhelming, and pairing it with a chilled clear soup is the most satisfying.

Su Zimu’s suggestion received enthusiastic responses from everyone.

Honestly, if this place were not extremely beautiful, with many close friends around and delicious food, impatient people like Gong Jiu wouldn’t tolerate Zhou Yu’s presence without it affecting their mood.

"No wonder you told me to bring the mini fridge," Xu Qingxin realized.

But the meticulous task of collecting cherry blossoms was not something for people like Gong Jiu and Ye Zixu.

"I’ll go,"

Li Luo suddenly volunteered, which was rather surprising, and in the end, she went with Pu Qinghan.

Sui Yi glanced at Li Luo’s back.

In this life and the past, she knew Li Luo well, possibly suspecting she had some special purpose or sentiment towards the forest.

After a while...

Zhou Yu and the others walked out, seemingly to say goodbye. Although directed towards Su Zimu, they also glanced at Sui Yi, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to say something...

Su Zimu didn’t stop them, as dealing with these people was inevitable for someone like Sui Yi who mingled in the Capital City.

Just as Zhou Yu approached.

Sui Yi suddenly put down the fruit in her hand and looked towards the Cherry Blossom Grove ahead.

"Something’s wrong."

Suddenly, a dreadful scream and terrifying roar came from the Cherry Snow Forest, sounding almost beast-like...

Everyone only saw Sui Yi suddenly vanish.

In the next second, three hundred meters away, Sui Yi stood among the cherry blossoms on a tree, observing a rockery, a waterfall, and a lake not too big or small, with cherry blossoms floating on its surface.

Beside the lake stood a stone with the inscription: Life Dragon,

Below, twenty or so black-clad figures projected their Inner Strength, surrounding the lake as if fearing or awaiting something.

Sui Yi frowned.

The other side had already detected her.

"Someone’s here!"

Swish, swish!

These people all took action simultaneously.

All of them had S-class strength, with three among them being SS-class,

The overall strength of this group wasn’t weak, but Sui Yi was more concerned about...

Where were Pu Qinghan and Li Luo?

Sui Yi narrowed her eyes and did not rush to act, but instead looked towards the lake surface.

When she looked over, she mysteriously appeared on the lake’s surface, reaching out a hand...

Crash!

Someone emerging from under the tree threw a person towards her, then turned and raised a hand.

Skull heads, skeletal claws, crystalline marks, ice ridges with snow.

The bones and flesh were indistinguishable, just a large swath of red.

Only one was left alive.

This one had long since fainted.

Amidst it all, Li Luo stood with dripping wet hair, eyes cold and steely, her hand still in the gesture of having slashed through the air with claw-like precision.

Demon, fiend, cold!

Swish, swish, swish!

Someone was coming.

Just a three or four hundred meter distance, Gong Jiu and the others arrived as shadows, but when they got there, all they saw was a strange landscape of blood-covered ice.

Li Luo had already lowered her hand, her expression indifferent, her whole body drenched, while Sui Yi stood on the water’s surface holding the unconscious Pu Qinghan.

Gong Jiu and others looked at the mess on the ground, their first reaction was that Sui Yi did it, but then they thought about how Sui Yi didn’t seem to like such a violent method, nor the gore. If truly angered, she’d usually evaporate someone directly into a blood mist dissipating them.

But Pu Qinghan seemed to have encountered an accident, and in her anger, it wasn’t unlikely.

Su Zimu noticed Li Luo, his eyes flashed as he walked over.

"What happened?"

When Su Zimu asked, he handed his coat to Li Luo, who hesitated for a moment before putting it on.

Zhou Yu and the others had already arrived, bewildered by the scene before them, especially Zhou Yu, surprised yet thoughtful.

Before Sui Yi could answer.

Swish swish.

Shadows swept over one after another, and soon a hundred or more dark figures settled in the area.
