"I only gave him a slight hand to support him. The reason you were able to wake up so quickly, my friend Shen, was because of your strong will and the Buzhou God-Suppressing Method. Although this method comes from the Body Refining Altar, it is a rare and exquisite method to calm the spirit. My friend, please practice it well, it will definitely be of great use to you in the future." The girl named Li said to Shen Luo with a smile, but her voice was a deep masculine voice.
"You are not Fellow Daoist Li! Who are you?" When Shen Luo heard this voice, his expression suddenly changed. He stared at the girl warily and asked in a deep voice.
The girl surnamed Li did not answer his question, but her white onion-like fingers touched the gray rope that bound Emperor Tang.
A layer of white light appeared on the surface of the gray-white rope, and it seemed to come alive, twisting automatically and loosening the soul of Emperor Tang.
Emperor Tang was freed from his restraints and fell from the wooden frame. The girl surnamed Li was about to step forward to catch him, but a figure flashed and the soul of Emperor Tang disappeared out of thin air. It was snatched away by Shen Luo and flew to the other side of the altar.
"You haven't answered me yet. Who are you? Why are you here?" Shen Luo stared at the girl surnamed Li and asked in a deep voice, with a layer of red light appearing around his hands.
"Young man, are you Shen Luo? I have heard Duke Cheng and Master Huangmu mention you many times. I am Yuan Tiangang, not an enemy. Your Majesty's soul has been taken away, and I have no choice but to borrow Princess Shu's body and rely on the power of her bloodline with our emperor to teleport here." The girl surnamed Li was not angry, she said with a smile and bowed.
"Are you the National Master Yuan Tiangang? How can you prove it?" Shen Luo was shocked, but quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice.
"My friend, this is a difficult question for me. We have never met before, so it may not be easy for you to prove my identity. However, the person I possess is a real Tang Dynasty princess. This is her jade disc and golden book. You can check it out, fellow Taoist." The girl named Li took out a golden book and handed it to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo looked at the girl named Li, but did not take the golden book. He took a step back and bowed to her.
"So it's the Imperial Master who has come. I'm sorry for offending you before, please forgive me."
"Oh, you didn't check the jade disc and the golden book, why did you suddenly believe what I said?" The girl surnamed Li raised her eyebrows, put away the golden book in her hand, and asked with a smile.
"If you were a bad guy, you would not have saved me just now and could have easily killed me with one knife. In fact, I felt that what you said was true before, but Your Majesty's matter concerns the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty, so you have to handle it with caution. So I spoke to test you. I hope you won't blame me, Master Imperial Master." Shen Luo said, handing the soul of the Tang Emperor to the girl named Li.
"Young man, you are neither arrogant nor impetuous, you handle things calmly, you are brave and resourceful. No wonder Duke Cheng likes you so much." The girl named Li received the soul of Emperor Tang and nodded.
"I am unworthy of such praise from the Imperial Master." Shen Luo looked humble, without a trace of complacency.
"Okay, let's talk nonsense later. Nephew Lu has sacrificed a lot of his vitality this time, and his potential is about to be exhausted. Little friend Shen, you should go and lend him a hand. Once Nephew Lu is defeated, not only will we die here, but the Tang Dynasty will also face a disaster." The girl surnamed Li looked up at the sky and said with a frown.
Shen Luo looked up and his expression changed slightly.
The white light on Lu Huaming's body in the air dimmed a lot, and the sword light from the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand was reduced by nearly half, far less brilliant and glorious than before. In the originally evenly matched battle, Lu Huaming had obviously fallen into a disadvantage.
