She heard from Shu Li's tone that there was no doubt that, in five years, [Shushan] could only survive five years smoothly.
This is what Shi Lan, as the high priest, least wants to see. The prophecy has already told her what would happen to [Shu Mountain] if Shu Li did not appear.
She thought that she could persuade Shu Li and avoid the destruction of [Shu Mountain].
But in fact, she idealized Shu Li as too gentle. Perhaps Shu Li's appearance always deceived people's first impressions, leading to her own misjudgment.
But the most astute people often don't judge a person's character based on their appearance. Obviously, Shi Lan is still very immature in this regard.
"Your Excellency, what should [Shushan] do to let us go?"
Shu Li smiled contemptuously and turned to look at Shi Lan.
"Let it go? Has the high priest not figured out the identity of [Shushan] yet? Well, it's useless to say more. I hope to see the high priest struggling to death, that will definitely be interesting."
Shi Lan remained silent.
The choice Shuli gave her was almost the same as the destruction of [Shu Mountain], except that it was relatively gentle and there was no flame or blood.
But Shi Lan understands that such a gentle method is the most cruel method. Over time, future descendants of [Shu Mountain] will forget their honor as ancient [Shu Mountain] and their ancestors of [Shu Mountain].
Shi Lan clenched her fists and her body trembled slightly.
Although choosing to resist will keep the seeds of revenge buried deep in the heart, [Shushan], which is almost equal to the destruction of its family, has no right to mention the glory of its ancestors, and it will also be blown away by the wind.
It was also because of this that neither choice was what Shi Lan wanted, so she wanted to deal with Shu Li again and again.
But Shu Li obviously knew this, so he didn't want to talk nonsense to Shi Lan at all.
If you don't surrender, you will perish.
Shu Li means that at least people are still alive and the name of [Shu Mountain] can continue to be passed down.
pity,
Shi Lan did not go as Shu Li wished.
In this case, if you don't want to choose, then there is no need to choose.
After taking one last look at Shi Lan, Shu Li turned and left.
"Ahem." Chi You coughed suddenly.
'What are you doing?'
"Didn't you ask me not to speak suddenly? I'll cough to remind you that I'm about to speak."
'.as long as you are happy.'
"Haha." Chi You laughed happily and said, "Little girl, what are you talking about with them? Just like that kid said, destroy them. That would be great, right?"
Shuli did not return to Chiyou.
She had never seen a strong man with such a broken mouth like Chi You. He had been holding it in for thousands of years and finally had someone to talk to, so it seemed like he couldn't stop talking.
"Actually, this [Shu Mountain] can communicate with Xuanming and Jiuyou. Otherwise, even with their bunch of trash, that tribe wouldn't accept them."
"I have been dead for thousands of years, and I haven't even entered the Nine Netherworld yet. Well, no, I can't be considered dead. At least my soul is still alive in the world. Otherwise, I would like to see the Nine Netherworlds that [Shu Mountain] has been communicating with."
What the hell is this place?"
‘.’
"Huh? Why is it dark? It seems like a little girl."
Shuli exhaled a breath.
It was finally quiet.
The system still didn't respond, otherwise Shuli would have asked the system why it absorbed Chi You's dead soul, and she would have been annoyed to death.
After Shuli returned to the room, Shi Lan never appeared again the next day, but Elder Lilliu came with Elder Jingmu to inquire about the illness.

Shi Lan, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared, bringing four elders with him.
Moreover, Shi Lan was different from the cumbersome and gorgeous high priest uniform she wore in the past. Instead, she wore a relatively simple short top and a knee-length skirt, both of which were navy blue and decorated with exquisite silver ornaments.
"I will follow you to Da Qin." Shi Lan looked at Shu Li and said seriously, "My eyes and facts will tell me the result, and then I will make a choice."
Shu Li didn't care at all, "It's up to you."
Then he glanced at the elders behind Shi Lan, with a trace of confusion on their faces.
However, there was an unshaven elder with an inexplicable look on his face, as if he was anxious, and he couldn't stop looking around.
It seemed that Shi Lan wanted to follow her out, and she didn't know what method she used to convince these elders, but it seemed that they didn't fully agree.
Meng Tian, who had been alert to his surroundings, suddenly approached Shu Li cautiously.
Qinghe glanced at Meng Tian, and then looked away.
"Young Master, there seem to be a lot of people hiding in the surrounding houses. A man dressed as a farmer who passed by just now looked over at him intentionally or unintentionally. But now we are at the bottom of the valley. Once an accident occurs, we will be passive. Please forgive me.
Please leave as soon as possible and don’t communicate too much with them.”
Meng Tian kept staring at a half-open window, and he always felt a slight chill coming from inside, giving him a constant warning.
It was just like the sense of crisis he felt when an arrow was shot at him from behind on the battlefield, although in the end he blocked it with his sword as a warning.
But the cold feeling that came down his spine at that time was almost exactly the same as the feeling when his back was turned to the window, and he couldn't help but be alert.
Not to mention the past few people dressed as farmers. Their eyes and walking posture were not like those of farmers who usually work in the fields, but more like soldiers.
Shuli nodded calmly, and then said to Shi Lan, "Let's set off early while it's still early. It takes a lot of effort to get out of these high mountains."
Shi Lan nodded, then turned around and looked at an unknown elder, "Elder Yu, I'll leave you with the rest of the affairs."
Elder Yu, also from the [Shi Lan Clan], watched Shi Lan grow up and helped him become an excellent high priest. He has been taking care of the affairs of the clan on behalf of Shi Lan for a long time.
Elder Yu bowed respectfully and said, "I will listen to the high priest's instructions."
Shi Lan nodded slightly, glanced at the other elders, and said with a slight salute, "Excuse me, elders. Thank you very much for agreeing to my willfulness this time."
Shu Li just watched quietly and glanced around casually.
To be honest, if there were no fluctuations in internal energy, Shu Li's control over the surrounding situation would not be as good as Meng Tian's.
Therefore, Shuli could only feel that there seemed to be something strange around her, but she could not observe it as carefully as Meng Tian did.
Finally, Shi Lan came with Elder Jing Mu and said to Shu Li, "Sir, let's go."
The elders of [Shu Mountain] have been watching Shuli and the others leave.
Only the unshaven elder stared at Shuli meaningfully.
As Shuli and his group gradually walked away, the elder suddenly saluted forward and then turned to look in another direction.
I saw him nodding towards a house.
Suddenly, a harsh buzzing sound came from the valley.
Immediately, a few flying rocks with sparks appeared in the sunny sky.
Black smoke floated in the air, and dull sounds came from the valley.
