Chapter 722 Heading to Tianhuang
The improvement brought by cultivating the water spirit root directly made up for the loss of Shu Han's combat power caused by the lack of purple gold armor in the other world and the illness of the self-transformed Yuanying body. At this moment, his combat power level is even stronger than the peak state sixty years ago!
This increase in strength has greatly increased Shu Han's confidence in the upcoming journey to Tianhuang.
Shangguan Ruotong was naturally happy for Shu Han when she saw how happy he was, but besides being happy, there was a little loss in her heart. Because she knew that after the cultivation of the water spirit root was completed, Shu Han would set off for Tianhuang soon. In that case, she didn't know how many years it would take before she could see the man in front of her again.
After sixty years of getting along, Shangguan Ruotong had long been accustomed to the existence of this man. In the past sixty years, because of the relationship between Shangguan Ruolin and Shu Han, she has always restrained herself to maintain a close and distant relationship with Shu Han, but at this moment, the loss in her heart can no longer be concealed.
In addition to being happy, Shu Han waved to Shangguan Ruotong and smiled, "Tongtong, come here."
Shangguan Ruotong's heartbeat accelerated a little, and she walked in front of Shu Han.
Shu Han tapped her forehead with one finger, and suddenly a cool breeze swept through her body, leaving a deep blue mark on Shangguan Ruotong's forehead. In an instant, Shangguan Ruotong could no longer feel the weak water aura dissolving her magic power, and she no longer had to deliberately resist the weak water aura.
"This is my Weak Water Seal. You will be able to travel freely in the Tianluo Abyss from now on, and you will no longer be limited to the Weak Water Jade Kui Garden."
"But..."
Shu Han looked around the entire Tianluo Abyss and said, "This abyss is too mysterious. You haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. For safety reasons, don't run around."
Shangguan Ruotong bit her lip and asked with a trembling voice, "Shu Han... are you leaving?"
Shu Han touched her head and said, "Yes, it's useless for me to stay in this Tianluo Abyss now. The sooner I go to Tianhuang, the better. Your sister is still waiting for me in the maze of life and death." Shangguan Ruotong smiled indifferently, "Yes, my sister is still waiting for you to come back to treat her. You must find a way to save my sister!"
Shu Han nodded firmly, "Whether it is the Bodhi Seed of Life and Death or any other magical object, as long as it can save your sister, I, Shu Han, will die!" Listening to Shu Han's sonorous words, Shangguan Ruotong smiled and said sincerely: "Shu Han, if it were possible, I really didn't want to be your enemy for a while. Thank you for your care over the years. If it weren't for you, I might have died in the Rakshasa Demon Realm. Thank you, thank you very much."
Shu Han listened, smiled and shook his head, pressed Shangguan Ruotong's shoulder, and said seriously: "You don't have to be polite to me, I am your brother-in-law! Although you are older than me, I regard you as my sister like Linlin, we are a family!"
Hearing the word brother-in-law, Shangguan Ruotong chuckled and said: "The title of brother-in-law always feels weird..."
Shu Han scratched his head and said: "Then you can call me whatever you want."
Shangguan Ruotong slowly lowered his head and said in a very subtle voice: "Shu Han, can I call you brother..."
Shu Han laughed.
"Sure!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Ruotong raised her head, but Na Xinghai's eyes were filled with tears. She took two steps forward, gently hugged Shu Han, and said softly with tears in her voice: "Brother, you must come back safely and return to our sisters safely. Tongtong and sister will always be waiting for you here."
Hearing Shangguan Ruotong shouting the word "brother", Shu Han couldn't help but be stunned.
In a trance, he seemed to see the scene when Shangguan Ruolin called him brother softly in bed.
For a moment, Shu Han's heart was churning and he couldn't control himself.
Shu Han hugged Shangguan Ruotong tightly in his arms, patted her shoulders and comforted her: "Linlin, Tongtong, wait for me, when I come back, I will take you back to Tianque Sect openly."
Shangguan Ruotong felt his strong embrace, and her heart softened immediately.
"Yeah."
Then, Shu Han went to visit Shangguan Ruolin alone. After sitting for several days, he finally turned into a stream of light, flew away from the Tianluo Abyss, and headed for Huoyun Shanna. After taking out the Tianque magnetic crystal mother ore smelted by the old dragon of the original vein, he said goodbye to Wei Haolong and others, and flew to the distant east at a speed that could shrink the earth into an inch.
…
Three years later, Tianhuang Linhai City.
The setting sun slowly fell into the sea, and the waves beating against Linhai City were rendered into a beautiful light gold.
Linhai City was built along the coast. It is the largest trading place for cultivators in this area and also the front station to resist the attack of sea monsters. In order to resist the astonishing number of sea monsters, Linhai City built an extremely tall city wall, like a huge vase, covering Linhai City.
On this huge "vase", a foundation-building cultivator standing guard on the top of the city suddenly saw a black spot appear in the afterglow of the setting sun, and then the black spot became bigger and bigger. At this time, his heart couldn't help but rise, and he hurried to the giant bell on the city wall and rang the huge bell with force.
Boom!
The majestic bell rang throughout the entire Linhai City. When they heard the bell, everyone's heart was lifted. They put down their work and looked at the towering city wall at the same time, as if they were looking forward to the next bell.
The guards on the city wall were also sweating. They stared at the black shadow under the setting sun. As the shadow grew bigger, their hearts became more and more anxious.
Finally, one guard couldn't hold it any longer.
"Why are you still standing there! Ring the bell! Such a big black shadow must be an invasion by a sea monster! Quick! Ring the bell to warn!"
So, the second bell rang quickly throughout the entire Linhai City.
All of a sudden, everyone was in a panic. Soldiers guarding Linhai City were dispatched one after another, occupying every point of the formation in Linhai City. At this moment, Linhai City was like a curled-up hedgehog, deploying all its defenses.
However, just as all the monks were nervously preparing for battle, a loud shout of relief was heard from the city wall.
"It was a blind guard who made a mistake! It's not a sea monster, it's the city lord's ship that has returned, and it has brought back a lot of sea monster corpses! So many that it's unimaginable! Hurry, get ready to welcome it!"
