Chapter 227 Tangled Fight
“Deputy Hierarch Hua, why did the Lians.h.i.+ Cult leave without notifying me? Are you also hurrying away?”
Hua Rui slowly turned around with a stiff smile on his face. Seeing Ling Li with the jade-bone mask and the twofold seniors of the Yinmo Cult, Hua Rui became fl.u.s.tered and sullen.
“Childe Li, I respect you because you are my senior. I don’t think I have done anything that is beyond the rules of your cult. Will you kill us for no reason?”
When talking, Hua Rui secretly ordered that all people immediately gathered together to fight against the Yinmo Cult.
Tantai Yu and Qi Xianqing got out of trouble and stood aside bitterly. No matter which of the two major cults he faced, he had no chance to win. Today, he was even trapped in the middle.
Tianji Country was good at the mechanism skill. Thanks to the skill, the country became a power. In terms of defense against foreign enemies, it was absolutely the best. As for a fight, it had too many disadvantages. This was the reason why Tianji Country never came out to fight for something.
“Little Yu, if you find an interval later, just run as far as you can. Although my combat power is not strong, I’m still at the peak of the inborn realm. So, I won’t have a great danger.”
Suddenly hearing the sound transmitted by Qi Xianqing in silence, Tantai Yu was surprised. He said, “What about the Full Moon and Heart Strings for Junior Sister Apprentice?”
“Silly boy! The treasure can be robbed again. If you don’t have a life, you will have nothing. You really think that I only focus on your Junior Sister Apprentice’s cultivation, regardless of your life or death?”
In spite of the scold from Qi Xianqing, Tantai Yu was smiling. He said, “I know, Master. I’ll seize the opportunity.”
Qi Xianqing was secretly relieved, and the face full of wrinkles was mostly dignified. Hua Rui was the only person whose cultivation was on the same level as his in the Hehuan Sect, but in the Yinmo Cult… There were so many people whose cultivation couldn’t be seen by him, so it’s certainly hard for Little Yu to escape.
Right then, Ling Li’s evil and strange sound came under the jade-bone mask, “The girl Qu Lu beside you has spied in the capital for many years. If she had gone too far, I would have already destroyed the Hongyan House. Is Deputy Hierarch Hua joking for no reason?”
Qu Lu felt that it was hard for her to breathe when hearing this and scolded Hua Rui in her heart.
Her ident.i.ty had always been well hidden except the fact that she was discovered by Mr. Li. Otherwise, the Yinmo Cult had already put the previous words into action as they always did. If Hua Rui hadn’t forced her to come, how could she have been exposed?
“However, I am compa.s.sionate and won’t do anything that is against reason and nature.”
Hearing Ling Li’s words, Hua Rui was relieved and then became nervous immediately. He said, “The Lians.h.i.+ Cult left without notification, which was really impolite. Could the Little Prince of Tianji Country lead the way? If we can find the Lians.h.i.+ Cult, there must be a great reward from the Yinmo Cult.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Tantai Yu. The pressure was like the tide. Although Tantai Yu tried to be calm, his face looked a little pale.
Qi Xianqing made a cold hum and stood in front of Tantai Yu to keep the pressure away for the latter. He stared at Ling Li and said, “Childe Li, the prince can lead the way, but you must make sure that his life is not in danger; otherwise, you will never get the Full Moon and Heart Strings.”
On hearing Qi Xianqing’s words, Hua Rui was extremely worried because he knew what Childe Li hated most was being threatened.
As expected, in the next moment, Ling Li suddenly reached out his hands and grabbed Qi Xianqing violently!
Rumble!
A strong suction burst out from his hands, and Qi Xianqing was horrified to find that his action ability was suddenly imprisoned, and that he had no power to break free. He could only helplessly watch his neck being put into Ling Li’s hands.
“Master!!”
Tantai Yu was very shocked because he didn’t expect that Ling Li took actions without saying anything.
“What I hate most in my life is being threatened.”
Ling Li looked at Qi Xianqing with an evil look and glaring eyes. Qi Xianqing immediately felt that his face became hot, as if he had been penetrated by magma. “It’s you.”
Hearing Ling Li’s words, Qi Xianqing was so shocked that his disguise skill had been found out.
Seeing that the old man at the peak of the inborn realm had no resistance and fell into Ling Li’s hands, Hua Rui felt cold all over. He was afraid to move. The men behind him were also afraid. They even didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
“Let my Master go…”
Due to the pressure, Tantai Yu’s blood of the whole body almost coagulated. But he still managed to speak. He tried to maintain a smooth tone, “I’ll take you to the Lians.h.i.+ Cult and you let my Master go. It’s a deal, not a threat.”
Qi Xianqing gave up struggling and sighed.
Silly boy, this was the devil Childe Li!
The Yinmo Cult and the Dongfang Family had always been incompatible. He used to be the teacher of Dongfang Xiao. His relations.h.i.+p with Dongfang Xiao had long been broken. But would the devil listen to him even if he explained it?
Suddenly, he felt his neck was loose. A sharp genuine energy went into his body like a silk thread and sealed all his cultivation. Instantly it let Qi Xianqing temporarily become an ordinary person.
Qi Xianqing was surprised that Childe Li really let him go.
Appreciation came out from Ling Li’s eyes. He asked with great interest, “Funny, the boy of Tantai Family. I grant your request. But if you can’t find out the Full Moon and Heart Strings, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
Hearing this, Tantai Yu was happy but soon felt the big pressure because he was not sure whether the Full Moon and Heart Strings was in the man’s hands. But now, he could only have a try.
“I know the direction, but…”
When talking, Tantai Yu looked at the people of the Hehuan Sect, and Hua Rui drew back to the edge anxiously at once and said, “If Hierarch Li could let us go today, I promise that the people of the Hehuan Sect will never go into Yunjing City!”
The answer to him was a horrible beat.
Bang!
Hua Rui had a blood ejection and was thrown far away. But he didn’t know who did it. His heart was trembling at the moment. He wished to go back to the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect immediately. The Yinmo Cult… couldn’t be dealt with through strength!
“I have never trusted the blandishments of the Hehuan Sect.”
Ling Li’s eyes were dim, and his coldness made Qi Xianqing tremble. How many people were killed to get such a horrible killing intention? “Go! I don’t have much time today, so I’ll let you go. If you are still in Yunjing City when I come back, don’t blame me for humiliating Hierarch Ye Tian.”
“Yes!”
Hua Rui got up and immediately left, frightened out of his wits. He even wished that his parents gave two more legs to him. Qu Lu unwillingly followed him, but she was worried. If she left like this, the people in the Hongyan House would suffer.
How could she explain that to Mr. Li?
Seeing the escape of all the people of the Hehuan Sect, Tantai Yu was surprised. It seemed that the infamous Childe Li in the martial arts circle was not as bloodthirsty as he thought, but he soon attributed the reason to time.
Closing his eyes to contact the machine-operated eagle, Tantai Yu saw the picture the machine-operated eagle had sent and said at once, “There is a beautiful building in the south of the city, where the people of the Lians.h.i.+ Cult are hiding.”
Waterside pavilion in the south of the city!
Ling Li was enlightened. He reached for Tantai Yu’s shoulder, and then took Tantai Yu like lightning. Ling Mo behind him grabbed Qi Xianqing, and everyone immediately followed.
Wail wail wail…
The strong wind burst on Tantai Yu’s face. It made his hair stand up and made him fail to open his eyes. But he still clearly saw the hand which was holding his shoulder.
White and slender.
Like a teenager’s hand.
This was an impression in his mind. Tantai Yu was slightly shocked. Wasn’t the legendary Hierarch of Yinmo Cult an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years and whose level of cultivation was not known?
Had he renewed his youth and stepped into the unknown realm?
Tantai Yu was very horrified and dared not guess again.
But he didn’t know that Ling Li was hard too at that moment. If there hadn’t been anything wrong with his plan so that the time was limited, he couldn’t have directly exposed himself to find the Full Moon and Heart Strings.
The Dongfang Family must be observing secretly. Ling Li’s eyes flashed in the cold light, full of killing intensions.
Only when they were killed could the secret of the Yinmo Cult be kept.
The legend known by the world was not false. The original Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult was indeed an old monster who had lived for more than three hundred years. Ling Li didn’t know why the old monster pa.s.sed on the position of the Hierarch to him when the monster died.
Although the cult had flourished in recent years, and the elders with horrified cultivation hadn’t come out to make troubles, Ling Li always felt that things weren’t in control.
The feeling came from the uneasiness brought by the actual strength. He knew that only when he broke through to the longevity realm and leapt to a higher combat level could he become the real master of the Yinmo Cult.
In the eyes of the group of old monsters, their actions might be just skirmishes. If he died, the Yinmo Cult would stay dormant and wait for the next master. That was because even the Hierarch of an evil cult died, no one would take such childish actions as taking revenge for him.
At the moment, Su Li suddenly stopped in the middle of the chase. Fang Yuan and Yun Yi and their men were all very confused.
Su Li shook her head. She sensed that the man with the Full Moon and Heart Strings was right in the waterside pavilion in the south of the city. But the indiscernible breath disappeared at times and then hibernated. He was waiting to meet other people in the Lians.h.i.+ Cult, so it’s not urgent.
Su Li turned around abruptly, looking at the distance behind her, with her eyes narrowed slightly.
“Someone is coming…”
After a long time, Fang Yuan and others sensed the breath but they were not nervous.
Yun Yi and others were very nervous. Although they were all in the inborn realm, they weren’t at the peak. If they met any of the four major forces in the Auction Fair, they would die miserably.
Thinking of this, Yun Yi opened his eyes wide to see, but saw a man with a jade-bone mask, carrying a young man with a pale face in the hand.
Jade-bone mask!
Childe Li from the Yinmo Cult!
Too bad!
Yun Yi turned frightened. The things that he feared really happened, and the man was the best one! Although Yun Yi and others were frightened, they still consciously stood in front of Su Li, which made Fang Yuan and others feel both funny and moved when seeing this.
Wail!
Ling Li stopped. The wind swept by, blew his clothes and made a sound. Behind him, Ling Mo, Ling Qinglan and so on all arrived.
When he saw the young man in a bamboo hat and indigo clothes, his eyes were slightly fixed. He relied on Tantai Yu to find here but Mr. Li got the news faster than him.
When Ling Qinglan and others saw Su Li, their nervous faces became relaxed and they greeted her.
This kind of reaction made Yun Yi and others immediately astonished.
The atmosphere became a little strange and silent.
