Chapter 217: Traces Of Ge The Immortal Child
“Ah, everyone’s here! Brother Weiyi, you’ve finally come out of seclusion. These past few days, we haven’t had a chance to gather together.”
After Tang Wan Qiu arrived, she tightly grabbed Li Weiyi’s hand, full of enthusiasm.
Coming along with her was Wan Yan Xiao Se in a green dress.
She was the first expert of the young generation in Yingzhou of the Northern Territory, wearing many exquisite silver ornaments, looking like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, with an extremely voluptuous figure, beautiful curves of chest and waist, incomparable to Li Ling and Yao Yin whose waves had just begun to rise.
She not only cultivated the Martial Way, but also had extremely high mind power attainment, being a great mind master of the Calamity Fire Realm, raising countless strange insects.
“Brother One, I heard you raised seven marquis-level strange insects. Can you let your little sister have a look?”
Wan Yan Xiao Se’s two almond eyes were bright and full of expectation, coupled with her beautiful face as if delicately carved by heavenly craftsmanship, staring straight at Li Weiyi like this. Any other man would find it hard to refuse.
Li Weiyi was pondering how to refuse.
But then he heard Li Ling lightly hum: “The so-called seven marquis-level strange insects are nothing but a villain’s scheme to borrow a knife to kill. Sister Wan Yan is so wise, how could she believe such a rumor?”
Wan Yan Xiao Se smiled bitterly: “It’s really because my Wanyan Clan is famous under heaven for insect taming. Hearing that a friend has strange insects in hand, how can I suppress the curiosity in my heart? Sorry, just now Wan Yan was too presumptuous.”
The other party came from an insect taming aristocratic family, so Li Weiyi naturally was even more unwilling to bring out the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor. Even if she couldn’t recognize it, after returning to the family and describing it to the old folks in the clan, it would become a risk.
Better to let her suspect.
Seeing Li Weiyi completely unmoved in front of beauty, not like the rumors, Tang Wan Qiu’s eyes turned, and she laughed: “Brother Weiyi, Wan Yan is just this straightforward. She’s a heavenly proud daughter, spoiled by the old folks in the clan. Don’t take it to heart. You’re both insect tamers, you must have many common topics. Explore and contact more in the future.”
Li Weiyi thought to himself that Tang Wan Qiu’s mind was formidable. Clearly here to probe if he had mastered seven marquis-level strange insects, yet she could advance and retreat with measure, not aggressive, truly smooth in handling people and affairs.
Immediately after, Tang Wan Qiu’s expression turned serious, and she said in a low voice: “Ge Xian Tong’s hiding place has been found! We must strike him hard before he recovers from his injuries, best to surround and kill him, eliminating this major threat.”
Cang Li pretended to be puzzled: “Through the positioning on the invitation, it shouldn’t be hard to find him, right? Why only found today?”
Tang Wan Qiu plopped down on the chair opposite Cang Li, smiling: “Brother Li doesn’t know, according to the longevity pill positioning on the invitation, the three longevity pill vouchers mastered by Ge Xian Tong and the one mastered by Jiang Ning are all in the Governor’s Mansion.”
“The Governor’s Mansion has the most formations and mind masters in the city. Plus, a large number of imperial court experts guarding it, it’s practically impregnable.”
“These past few days, Snow Sword Tang Court used thunder law profound ice to break formations, attacking the Governor’s Mansion several times as probes. There are also secret agents lurking inside investigating. It can be confirmed that Ge Xian Tong is definitely not healing injuries in the Governor’s Mansion.”
Cang Li suddenly realized: “If I were Ge Xian Tong, after getting injured, I wouldn’t easily expose myself in the open either.”
“Pa!”
Tang Wan Qiu clapped her hands: “That’s the reasoning! Not only are we looking for him, Luan Sheng Lin You have also activated the death ash hidden inside the imperial court. Several death ash destruction incidents have already erupted in the Governor’s Mansion.”
Cang Li said: “Where is Ge Xian Tong hiding?”
“Immortal Forest.” Tang Wan Qiu said.
Cang Li was moved: “He’s actually hiding in such a high-profile and dangerous place?”
“That’s why others are the number one under heaven? Immortal Forest floats in mid-air, overlooking the whole city, with all situation changes in view. As soon as a major change occurs in the imperial court, he can immediately rush to reinforce first-hand.” Tang Wan Qiu said.
Cang Li said: “Brother Tang’s interest in Ge Xian Tong seems thicker than the longevity pill vouchers in the Governor’s Mansion.”
“We’re brothers, no need to hide words.”
Tang Wan Qiu said prudently: “Before the Lantern Festival, the longevity pill vouchers are hot potatoes. The more you have, the more likely you become a target of siege. Moreover, attacking the Governor’s Mansion is equivalent to decisive battle with the imperial court. Even if you win and get the longevity pill vouchers, your own side will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
“Hunting the injured Ge Xian Tong would be much easier instead.”
“As long as Snow Sword Tang Court kills the number one person of the young generation, Ge Xian Tong, at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, even if I can’t become a hidden dragon of the lantern festival, returning north will be infinitely glorious, surely making all old guys look at me with new eyes.”
“The more important significance is beyond the lantern festival. This is telling everyone under heaven that Snow Sword Tang Court is always the head of the righteous army, the vanguard against the imperial court, and has the ability to crush the imperial court.”
Cang Li nodded lightly: “Brother Tang has great qi soul! If Ge Xian Tong can be killed, Brother Tang’s evaluation on the Du’e Temple side will absolutely not be low. How soon to act?”
“The earlier the better, naturally as soon as possible.”
Tang Wan Qiu asked: “How much has Brother Li’s injury recovered?”
“Over seventy percent.”
Cang Li was no fool and immediately reminded: “Brother Tang wants to use the Jiu Li Clan’s assist battle on Ge Xian Tong?”
In other words.
After dealing with Ge Xian Tong, the Jiu Li Clan no longer owes you a favor.
Tang Wan Qiu said: “Right now Luan Sheng Lin You are cleaning up Zhu Men in the Western Territory, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse and Zhu Men are uniting to resist. Meanwhile, part of the imperial court’s forces are sent to the Eastern Territory. Such a golden opportunity, if I don’t seize it, I’d truly be a worm of the Northern Territory. Can you summon Li Jiufu back? Your sister’s golden sword talisman will also be very useful.”
Cang Li was displeased in his heart, very unwilling for Li Ling to participate in such a dangerous battle, but he had promised after all, and couldn’t refuse. Thus, he nodded in agreement.
Tang Wan Qiu and Cang Li discussed the specific action details.
After shaking off the “clingy” Wan Yan Xiao Se, Li Weiyi went to Bai Shu’s dwelling, planning to see Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun.
Wan Yan Xiao Se was naturally extremely beautiful, but her purpose was too strong, her mind deep. If she really discovered the secret of the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, in an instant “Brother One” would turn into “Li Weiyi, receive death.”
An insect tamer mastering seven longevity realm strength strange insects could stand shoulder to shoulder with family heads even among ten million gateways.
Facing such temptation, for figuring out the true grade of the strange insects, it wouldn’t be surprising if Wan Yan Xiao Se threw herself into his arms or even offered herself proactively.
Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun were both bound with magic tool chains, hidden in the cellar. Bai Shu told Li Weiyi that she had deployed death spiritual fire in both their bodies, no need to worry about them escaping.
Yang Zhiyong sat on the ground, eyes ice-cold: “Li Weiyi, kill or chop as you please. If I, Yang Zhiyong, so much as frown, I don’t deserve the surname Yang.”
Yang Yun sitting beside frowned deeply, feeling Yang Zhiyong shouldn’t provoke this ruthless person like this.
In this world, there were many things more terrifying than death.
Li Weiyi stood in the dim cellar, saying nothing, carefully observing Yang Zhiyong’s every word, action, and facial and bodily features.
Yang Zhiyong said again: “I know why we’re still alive: you want to use us to threaten the young lady. But you miscalculated. The young lady’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. We’d rather bash our heads to death than become your threat bargaining chips. Right, Yang Yun?”
Yang Yun struggled to speak, stammering: “With our cultivation, it’s probably hard to bash ourselves to death. Besides, he wouldn’t give us the chance.”
“You cowardly thing afraid of death. The young lady is wise and decisive; how could she have a brother like you?” Yang Zhiyong cursed angrily.
Yang Yun said: “I’m not afraid of death; I’m stating facts…”
…
“Yang Qingxi is dead!” Li Weiyi said.
The two on the ground looked up, both stunned.
“Impossible… absolutely impossible. The young lady clearly escaped… what trick are you playing now?”
Yang Zhiyong’s reaction was even more intense than Yang Yun’s, fundamentally not believing Li Weiyi’s words.
Li Weiyi said: “Yeah, I also want to know why, since she clearly escaped, her corpse was found by someone in Bing Zu Marsh seven days later. Now everyone says I killed her; only you know how wronged I am.”
Seeing his extremely serious appearance, Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun trembled in their hearts, already believing seventy to eighty percent.
“How could this be? My sister’s cultivation and combat power are so strong; how could she suddenly die?” Yang Yun muttered to himself, unable to accept it.
Yang Zhiyong knew there were two Yang Qingxi, but in his view, both were the young lady he extremely respected in his heart. No matter which one died, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing him extreme pain.
He clenched his hands tightly, eyes reddening: “Li Weiyi, since the young lady is already dead, we have no value. Let us go back; we’ll testify for you that you’re not the killer.”
“One Yang Qingxi died, but there’s another; your value is still there.”
Li Weiyi figured the five boxes of spring coins were most likely robbed by the other Yang Qingxi. Just right, with Snow Sword Tang Court’s big operation today, he could go to the Sui Sect dormitory to get things clear.
“Of course you two have to go back, but in another way.”
…
Northern City, an old-established noodle shop.
The weather was bad; there were only three customers.
Hot noodle soup steaming with heat fog was served. Li Weiyi first held the bowl, drinking a mouthful of hot soup.
The soup base was thick, simmered from mutton.
Bai Shu and Yang Yun sat on his left and right.
While eating, Li Weiyi instructed: “Today, Snow Sword Tang Court will send a group of martial cultivators to feign an attack on the Governor’s Mansion. At that time, Yang Qingxi and Sui Sect experts will definitely go to aid. We’ll take advantage of this gap time to go to the Sui Sect dormitory.”
“Bai Shu, you stay outside, ready to respond anytime.”
Li Weiyi decided to first check if Yang Qingchan was really dead, then decide how to ambush Yang Qingxi.
Now with further advanced cultivation, Fourth Sea perfection, he no longer feared the Sui Sect young generation at all. Plus he had a box of thunder law profound ice; even the Sui Sect outpost’s formations were no threat.
The strong practitioner’s heart that Zuo Qiu Ting spoke of was perhaps just this.
Yang Yun looked at the noodle soup before him, looking as if bereaved of wife and children, no appetite, pitifully begging: “Can you not kill my sister… I only have one sister left…”
Li Weiyi bit off the noodles, looked up: “What, you don’t want to cooperate?”
Yang Yun’s face instantly sagged even more.
Bai Shu wore a black veil and hood, covering her pure immortal body’s unusually beautiful face, smiling charmingly: “You have no trump card in hand; what qualification do you have to talk conditions? If Brother One can’t walk out of the Sui Sect dormitory, I’ll immediately trigger the death spiritual fire in your body. So, you must be obedient!”
Thinking, she added: “Even Luan Sheng Lin You had to retreat facing Brother One; do you think you’re Brother One’s opponent? Don’t court death!”
“Overblown!” Li Weiyi’s face flushed with embarrassment.
