Li Rui tightly grasped the Phoenix Chick Dan handed over by Xuan Zong Lao Zu, cupping his fists in gratitude before stepping forward with a steady pace.
However, the latter shook his head, feeling a bit confused but unsure how to express it; all he could do was pray.
The Tenth Level had already arrived, yet there wasn't a single shadow in sight. The earlier sounds of wailing had suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving Li Rui extremely frustrated and unsure how to handle the current situation.
Following Xuan Zong Lao Zu's instructions, Li Rui took out the Phoenix Chick Dan and placed it in his mouth. It seemed as if nothing had happened, but he felt incredibly vexed.
He continued to walk forward step by step, not knowing how much time had passed when he suddenly heard a loud "bang," as if a door had closed behind him. He was puzzled about what it could mean.
Then came the sound of "whoosh" after "whoosh," as flames suddenly appeared on both sides, seemingly for illumination. In contrast, a bright red carpet abruptly emerged on the ground, looking as if it were prepared specifically for Li Rui.
As the surroundings lit up, the scene fell silent again. He couldn't tell where the red carpet led; it seemed that standing on it was necessary.
Li Rui frowned slightly but subconsciously walked on the red carpet. His first instinct told him that there might be danger involved; after walking for so long without anything happening, the stillness felt eerily unsettling. He also had a vague feeling that he might be lost.
The scenery around him had remained unchanged from the beginning until now.
Li Rui steadied himself and activated the Azure Dragon Breathing Technique, opening his eyes to see if he could find any clues! However, in the next moment, he realized he was mistaken; this endless red carpet seemed to require him to walk its entirety, or else something bizarre might occur.
Under his gaze, the scenes on both sides were no longer ordinary; there were eyes watching him intently.
Li Rui dared not meet their gaze. In those eyes, he felt incredibly small; they were fixated on him rather than on the Water Fire Staff behind him!
It seemed that this Water Fire Staff was a coveted treasure in the eyes of others!
Li Rui quickened his pace, determined to finish walking down the entire red carpet. After about three minutes, he finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
As the faint light appeared before his eyes, it resembled a door, but what lay behind it was unknown. Li Rui had to stop in his tracks, unsure of what he was contemplating.
Who would have thought that in the next second, Li Rui was startled as the floor behind him suddenly shattered, like the end of the world. He had no choice but to run forward.
The speed of the collapse behind him was increasing rapidly, and he was fighting for his life!
In just thirty minutes, Li Rui found himself standing before this beam of light, still unaware of what lay inside. The speed of the destruction behind him seemed to be closing in on him.
Li Rui had no choice but to push off with his back foot and leap into the light.
The brightness ahead was blinding, and for some reason, Li Rui felt a piercing pain in his eyes, an unbearable soreness that could only be alleviated by closing them for a moment.
It seemed that at the moment he stepped into the light, the sound of the collapsing floor ceased. Li Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet he remained oblivious to what lay ahead, and his eyes still refused to open.
He managed to crack them open slightly, feeling as if countless needles were pricking his eyelids.
Suddenly! It felt as though something grasped Li Rui's hand. Instinctively, he pulled away and took a few steps back.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Li Rui could not see anything clearly in front of him and had no idea whether the person standing there was an enemy or a friend.
She seemed to ignore Li Rui's words and directly pulled at his hand, not revealing where they were headed. Moreover, Li Rui suddenly noticed how soft her hand was; it felt like a girl's palm.
Despite her tugging, Li Rui found himself unable to muster even a hint of resistance against her grip.
He had no idea where they were going; all he knew was that he was turning left and right repeatedly until she finally let go of his hand.
"Lie down!"
It was indeed a woman's voice, but it was so cold that it seemed capable of freezing a person entirely.
Li Rui naturally complied, feeling as if he was placing a bet that this woman would not harm him! What if he was right?
Suddenly, a cool liquid spread across his face, from top to bottom, and his eyes experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort. It seemed that this time Li Rui had made the right bet.
He felt very fortunate.
"Can you tell me your name, so that I can..."
"Don't talk; your breath is still unstable." Before he could finish his sentence, she covered his mouth.
Li Rui felt a sense of being "taken care of" for the first time, and suddenly he had an urge not to get up.
Yet in his mind, he wondered whether the woman in front of him was beautiful or... If she were as stunning as a flower, would he end up spilling his guts? Would she devour him alive if she saw that?
Li Rui couldn't help but shiver.
"Open your eyes and take a look!"
He blinked slightly and tried to widen his pupils. Little did he know that the person in front of him was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, though her face was very cold, as if she had never smiled before. One might think he owed her a great deal of money.
"Thank you for saving my life, beautiful. I will do my best to help you in the future!"
"Let's go!"
This...
Li Rui was somewhat confused. What was this? Just let himself leave, where to go?
"Where to go?"
"Leave here, and promise not to return to Sky City again. It's not as simple as you imagine! The entire Sky City is a living 'city.'"
Li Rui frowned slightly. Who was this guy?
He seemed very familiar with this place. What exactly was he trying to express? He truly couldn't understand, and he was already at the Tenth Level; there was no reason to go back.
"I..."
"I told you to get lost, so get lost. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. With just a flick of my finger, I can make you stay here for a lifetime."
