Chapter 42: The Deadly Robbery
Chapter 42 – Death Tribulation
“Senior Sister Xu!”
Li An was very surprised, the color of joy surged in his eyes, saying, “Quickly please, quickly please–“
Immediately, he welcomed Xu Qiuhui into the store, while shouting inside, “Qingxue, come out quickly, Senior Sister Xu is here-“
……
Not long after.
The three of them had a small gathering in the inner hall of the Spirit Talisman Shop, and Tan Qingxue personally fixed a table of good food and wine.
Not having seen each other for more than ten years, Tan Qingxue appeared to be very excited, and Xu Qiuhui kept talking, but it was Li An who listened silently from the side, occasionally answering a sentence or two with a smile on his face.
In the past, when Li An just entered the Hall of Runes, Xu Qiuhui and Tan Qingxue can be said to be on a par with each other, posture are first-class excellent, and even at that time Tan Qingxue is a little younger, more youthful and beautiful.
But more than ten years in the past, Tan Qingxue cultivation in the double cultivation with Li An, barely broke through to the seventh layer of gas refining, but ultimately very slow, the impact of the years has left faint traces in her face, although still beautiful, but the wife of a young woman charming and mature more, no longer such as Xu Qiuhui general clear and unassuming.
Now the two are like the opposite, Tan Qingxue looks more mature, Xu Qiuhui is more youthful point.
After all, Xu Qiuhui foundation success, life expectancy has increased greatly, is not Tan Qingxue comparable.
“Back then, I lured Daoyou Li to get acquainted with you, but I never thought that this would lead to a good relationship.”
Xu Qiuhui smiled faintly and said snidely, “Speaking of which, I’m still considered one of your matchmakers.”
Li An and Tan Qingxue both smiled.
“Fellow Daoist Li An, you and Qingxue are both over forty years old, aren’t you going to start a family?”
And Xu Qiuhui said leisurely again.
Obviously, when Tan Qingxue and her corresponded back and forth, they might have mentioned this matter, which was why she asked this question.
Li An let out a long sigh and said, “Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and I’ve been targeted by the great cultivators of the Devil’s Way, so it can be said that I’m not in a position of security, so how would I dare to have a child?”
Xu Qiuhui was stunned for a moment, it was actually this reason?
But her eyes then calmed down, obviously she didn’t believe it, just that, if this kind of thing Li An wasn’t willing, even though she was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, it was impossible for her to force anything on behalf of Tan Qingxue.
“Fellow Daoist Li doesn’t have to worry, in recent years, that Sorrowful Life Horse Face has been doing a lot of evil, the Xuan Yang Sect sent us out this time to apprehend and kill him!”
Xu Qiuhui then opened her mouth, revealing a message-
Since more than ten years ago, after the Qingyang Square Market robbery, Sokushin Horseface has done a lot of big cases, two Immortal Cultivation Families that were dependent on the Xuan Yang Sect have been exterminated, and five years ago, he even intercepted and killed an outgoing Foundation Establishment female cultivator of the Xuan Yang Sect.
Can be said to be full of evil.
It was only recently that the Xuan Yang Sect had found traces of him, so the inner sect elites were dispatched, and there was even a False Dan level elder secretly leading the way, to round up the Soothsayer Horse Face.
For this reason, the Xuan Yang Sect had also issued a bounty order, and if one could kill Sojourner Horseface, they could obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill and a volume of Yellow Rank Upper Grade Technique!
It could be seen that this time, the Xuan Yang Sect was determined to kill Sustenance Horse Face!
“Great …… as long as that demon is put to death, Li Lang won’t have to worry and be afraid every day, sister, you don’t know, these ten years, Li Lang has been not daring to take a step out of the workshop, I’m almost bored to death.”
Tan Qingxue opened her mouth.
Xu Qiuhui couldn’t help but smile, the Blackheart Rune Master had offended the Demon Sect, and had hunkered down in the workshop market for more than ten years without taking a step outside, she had heard quite a bit about it.
In fact, she knew something else. Earlier years, the devil religion has always arranged people secretly guarded outside the workshop city, ready to hunt Li An, but Li An froze thirteen years did not go out a step, the devil religion people are waiting to despair, and then directly give up.
The Xuan Yang Sect also discovered the demonic cultivators outside the workshop market, layout for many years, following the vine to find the melon, only now finally ready to take action.
Therefore, she was rather appreciative of Li An instead.
If he had been more careless and left the workshop market, I’m afraid that Tan Qingxue would be the only one left in this Spirit Symbol Shop today.
“That life-suppressing horse face, it might appear in the workshop market in the near future?”
Li An keenly asked.
Why else would someone from the Xuan Yang Sect come here?
“Right.”
Xu Qiuhui said, “The sect has already laid out that there will be a batch of medicinal herbs sent to the marketplace from out of town in the near future.”
“Among that batch of medicinal herbs, there are things that the Sorrowful Horse Face needs.”
Li An suddenly realized.
This was the Xuan Yang Sect’s killing game.
“It’s getting late, I still have some things to do, Rune Master Li, will you give me a ride?”
Xu Qiuhui smiled and spoke.
Li An Xin was moved, and immediately said, “Qingxue, you clean up the house, I’ll send Senior Sister Xu out first.”
…… Walking out of the room, he went to the middle of the store.
“What does Senior Sister Xu have to say to me?”
Li An took the initiative to ask.
Xu Qiuhui nodded and said blandly, “Fellow Daoist Li has great aspirations, this is something that I have always known.”
“But there are times when having a heart higher than the sky is useless, and accepting reality might be better.”
Li An frowned, “What does Senior Sister Xu mean?”
Xu Qiuhui said, “I don’t want Qingxue to be alone in the future, give her a child, and leave a hope for yourself, after all, living in this world, no one knows which comes first, the accident or tomorrow.”
Li An instantly changed his face, what does Xu Qiuhui mean ……
Could it be that he might meet with an accident?
Perhaps die?
That’s why she was advising herself, to leave a child behind, in order to accompany Tan Qingxue, and to keep a seed as well?
In his brain, a single thought flashed by rapidly, in rapid thought.
–The Xuan Yang Sect is going to deal with Solemn Horseface.
This matter, however, was very likely to jeopardize Li An’s life?
And for the sake of Tan Qingxue, Xu Qiuhui specially arrives and tells Li An about the two of them, with the aim of making Li An consciously leave a child for Tan Qingxue.
So the point is, why would the Xuan Yang Sect endanger themselves by dealing with the Sojourner Horse Face?
According to what Xu Qiuhui said, the Xuan Yang Sect’s killing game had already been set up, and this matter had nothing to do with Li An ah.
Unless, Li An was also a part of this plan?
But Li An himself, with his low cultivation, on what basis could he be involved in such a plan?
“Senior Sister Xu, what is going on here?”
He stared at Xu Qiuhui.
Xu Qiuhui, however, seemed to be a bit hesitant, and it was clear that this matter had involved the sect’s top secret.
“Senior sister, Li An, even if he dies, he still wants to die with a clear understanding …… Please, Senior Sister Xu, for the sake of Qingxue, clarify a little!”
Xu Qiuhui finally nodded her head and sighed: “Alright, you will know about this matter eventually anyway.”
“The demonic technique practiced by the Sorrowful Horse Face is called the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Technique, a technique that the Xuan Yang Sect obtained a copy of a dozen years ago.”
“But after the inner sect elders deduced it, it was found that this demonic gong has a fatal flaw, that is, when the spirit root is promoted, it will definitely cause the original body to collapse.”
“That is to say, for every promotion, the cultivator will need to change his or her body.”
“And the replacement of a body for this kind of demonic skill is different from an ordinary seizing of a body, it will carry the spiritual root along with it, so it’s even more difficult.”
“Before replacing the body, the cultivator must fulfill two conditions, having a third grade spiritual medicine to supplement it, as well as …… having no heart demons.”
This was all she said.
Li An instantly understood ……
The spirit medicine needed by Sojourner Horse Face was definitely among the batch of herbs prepared by the Xuan Yang Sect, and Li An was ……
“I’m actually the heart demon of Sokushin Horseface?!”
He was simply unbelievable!
He was tempted to say, “Is it necessary for you to be so careful when you’re a great cultivator of the Devil’s Way?
Wasn’t it just that you were sold a few fake spirit talismans back then? Is it necessary to hold a grudge until now?
“Sokushin Horse Face is so unpredictable that he can’t defend himself, and the only time he suffered a big loss was in Qingyang Market, so how can you say that he doesn’t hate you? Moreover, back then, he was in the critical moment of cultivation, he didn’t get the second-order spirit vein in Qingyang Square Market, so he lost all his efforts ……”
Li An had a complicated look and a pang of helplessness in his heart!
Causes and consequences, avoiding ah!
Xu Qiuhui gave Li An a meaningful look, “Fellow Daoist Li, I arrived here three days earlier than the Inner Sect crowd, which means you still have three days left.”
“After three days, I will let Qingxue leave you.”
“You’re a smart person, make your own choice on what to do.”
“By the way, during these three days, I will be responsible for monitoring you so that you don’t escape or leak secrets, but I don’t think you will, right? Staying in Qingyang Fang City is always safer than outside.”
She left immediately.
Li An stayed in the store, feeling a chill in his heart.
A thousand times, he had finally stumbled upon this deadly robbery!
