Chapter 348 Fisherman's Cage (78)
Yan Lili frowned slightly, her eyes swept back and forth between Xu Lu and Qiao Renliang, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. After all, in this world, the status difference between men and women is huge, and there is a rule that prohibits men and women from falling in love. However, Xu Lu and Qiao Renliang in front of them seemed to break this convention.
Qiao Renliang stood aside, his eyes full of affection for Xu Lu. "Are you wondering why we are in the crystal? It's because Lulu and I were punished for loving each other. This world doesn't allow us to be together, but it can't erase our love for each other. So, they had to lock us up here and imprison us forever."
"Could it be that the crystals here are all imprisoned lovers?" Xiaoyue's eyes wandered over the crystal buildings nearby. There were so many crystal buildings that it was impossible to count them, and they could only be measured by the acres they occupied.
Xu Lu nodded, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Yes, we are imprisoned here because we love each other. This city of light is actually a prison for love."
Yan Lili could sense the helplessness in Xu Lu's words. The rules of this world were undoubtedly cruel to lovers like Xu Lu and Qiao Renliang. "How can we help you?"
A glimmer of hope flashed across Xu Lu's eyes, but they immediately dimmed again. "In the center of the City of Light, there is a huge crystal tower with the laws of heaven and earth engraved on it. However, without the strength of a Saint Emperor, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it."
Yan Lili's eyes were firm: "No matter what, we have to go to the crystal tower. If we don't try, how can we know if there is hope."
The three of them walked through the streets of the City of Light and soon arrived at a place 100,000 miles away from the Crystal Tower. They looked from afar and saw that the tower was crystal clear and emitted a faint blue light. The blue light radiated to the entire City of Light and even spread to the outskirts of the city.
"The laws of this world are engraved on this tower." Xu Lu came through the crystal building, and her figure now appeared on the wall of an ancient teahouse.
Yan Lili and Xiaoyue looked at each other. Although their cultivation had improved along the way, they had not even reached the threshold of Quasi-Emperor, let alone this crystal tower that required the might of a Saint Emperor to shake. Facing such an unknown existence, they had almost no hope of success.
"The power of this tower is so terrifying that we can't even get close to it. How can we possibly change the rules of this world?" Xiaoyue took a deep breath and tried to calm her mind and resist the pressure emanating from the crystal tower. She felt that Yan Lili's words were a bit far-fetched.
Yan Lili also frowned, she also wanted to save the people here, so that they could have the right to love each other freely, but her strength was too weak, so she had to face reality. In the end, they were hurt by the power released by the crystal tower and had to give up the idea of approaching the crystal tower.
Several people left the City of Light with injuries all over their bodies and helplessness in their hearts.
After several days of traveling, they arrived at a remote and quiet town. The three of them found an inn in the town and stayed there temporarily, planning to rest up.
"Sister Lily, are we just giving up like this?" Lou Yixiao couldn't help but ask.
Yan Lili raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "No, this is just a temporary setback. We need stronger power. Only by being strong can we change the world."
Xiaoyue nodded silently: "I believe Sister Lily can do it."
