"There's no one here, right?" A handsome man in white clothes walked in front of Nie Li with a snow-white long sword on his waist. Coupled with his elegant temperament, he looked very attractive.
Without waiting for Nie Li to answer, he sat down. Nie Li raised his eyes and looked at him. Their faces were somewhat similar. "I'm Chen Jiang from the Heng Shan Sect. Young hero Nie must know me!" This person was Chen Jiang, who had an irreconcilable enmity with Nie Li.
"I seem to have heard of you." Nie Li knew that the other party did not come with good intentions. He poured a cup of tea with his right hand and pushed it with his left hand. The teacup was spinning towards Chen Jiang's face with great force. If it really hit him, his face would be damaged.
"Young hero Nie is really hospitable." Chen Jiang said fiercely. When he thought that the person in front of him was his enemy, he wished he could stab him with his sword.
He raised his hand and the teacup slipped from his fingertips to his wrist. He held it with his five fingers and brought it to his mouth, giving it a slight peck. "It's just that there's something wrong with the taste of this tea." Chen Jiang gently put down the teacup.
"Young master Chen is the one who can find me from so far away." Nie Li glanced at the teacup. It was full of cracks, but it was not broken. Chen Jiang's control of his internal force was not bad, but it was too sharp.
"I came here to search for treasures, but I didn't expect to meet my prey." Chen Jiang crossed his arms in front of his chest. He originally planned to go directly to Cloud Sea City, but halfway through, he heard that the Earth Dragon Tree was about to mature. He wanted to explore this place first before looking for Nie Li.
However, since Nie Li was also here, then he might as well take care of him as well. He had just stepped into the Innate Realm not long ago, so he did not make a big deal out of it.
"Who's the hunter and who's the prey? It's still uncertain." The corner of Nie Li's mouth hung a strange smile. Chen Jiang's heart thumped, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Just wait and see. I'll return this teacup to young hero Nie." Chen Jiang flicked his finger and threw the teacup towards Nie Li's face. Because of the internal force, the teacup was directly shattered. If it was hit, Nie Li's face would not only be destroyed, but also his life.
Nie Li coldly snorted. His left hand was covered with internal force. His hand speed was extraordinary as he used his internal force to absorb all the fragments. His inner strength gathered into a black ball in his palm. In the blink of an eye, he opened his left hand and white powder piled up on the table.
Chen Jiang crossed his arms in front of his chest. Nie Li's move had clearly exceeded his expectations. After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiang stood up and left.
Nie Li left a piece of silver on the table, turned around, and went upstairs. When he opened the door, he found that there was a special smell in his room. Naturally, he held his breath.
Although his body was already immune to poison, he still had to be careful. Seeing the bulging quilt on the bed, Nie Li knew who was here. Lin Zhongju wouldn't give his room to others.
Then, the one sleeping here must be Little Mo. Seeing that there was no danger, he no longer held his breath. After taking a sniff, his brows furrowed together. His feet were really smelly. Nie Li really couldn't stand it.
He opened the window and gave Little Mo a hard kick. "Awoo!" Little Mo's painful cry resounded throughout the building. He covered his butt and continued to wail. His face had turned pale.
His eyes widened like a cooked shrimp. He curled up and stretched out his finger from under the quilt. Trembling, he pointed at Nie Li and kept sucking in cold air. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Even if you have a problem with me, you can't be so heavy-handed! Our Mo Clan only has me, the only child left. "Little Head Mo retracted his hand back into the blanket and said intermittently.
Nie Li didn't know where his kick would land. If he really turned Little Mo into a eunuch, then his sin would be great. "I don't know how many people there are in your Mo Family. But without you, the world will be peaceful."
"Besides, what time is it now? You're still sleeping." Nie Li looked at the sky outside. The warm red sunset illuminated half of the sky. At the red and blue border in the distance, darkness was quietly growing.
"I didn't wait for you for too long. I was bored, so I fell asleep." Little Mo leaned on his body and looked at the sky outside. Only then did he know how long he had slept.
"To think that I brought a lot of good news." Little Mo ran out of the quilt. His upper body was naked, and his lower body was covered with a pair of pants. His strong body was full of explosive power. Obviously, his physical body wasn't ordinary.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, then leave, "Nie Li said in a bad mood. Seeing Little Mo's lively appearance, where was the pain from before?
"Okay, I'll say it!" Little Mo grabbed a coat and put it on. "This time, in order to get the Earth Dragon Fruit, the Ye Family is preparing to advance the wedding with the Bai Family." Little Mo wrapped his body with the coat.
"But, isn't the Ye Family's betrothal gift the Earth Dragon Fruit? Without the Earth Dragon Fruit, how could the Bai Family agree? "Nie Li frowned. The thumb and middle finger of his right hand rubbed lightly in the wide sleeve.
This was a small habit of his. When he was thinking, the itchy feeling from his fingertips could help him stay awake.
Little Mo moved his head to Nie Li's ear and whispered, "That is indeed the case. However, the Iron Chain Gang and the Righteous Gathering Manor have joined hands to enter White Mountain City. This made others a little afraid!"
"Iron Chain Gang and the Righteous Gathering Manor." Nie Li couldn't help but read out loud. How did the two of them get together? "Previously, the murders that happened in Gusu City were all from the Iron Chain Gang and the Righteous Gathering Manor. Therefore, the two gangs temporarily formed an alliance to catch the people from that day. This alliance became the reason for them to fight for the Earth Dragon Fruit. "
Nie Li knew about this matter. The gimmick of the Thousand Year Blood Lingzhi had attracted the two gangs at that time. Who would have thought that they would suffer a double loss? The Blood Lingzhi was unintentionally eaten by him, and they were all annihilated.
However, who was the one who killed them? Who in Gusu City had such strength? Nie Li couldn't think of it even if he cracked his head. However, although the two gangs formed an alliance, it was all for the Earth Dragon Fruit. What friendship? It was nothing more than a luxurious coat for their own greed.
"Then, this trip for the Earth Dragon Fruit can be said to be lively." Nie Li chuckled. Just thinking about the countless people of the underworld fighting together made him a little excited.
"Also, I've helped you investigate a little about the five elemental sources. Now I can confirm that Empress Tu Pei is most likely in the place where the Earth Dragon Tree is born." Mo Xiaotu threw a bomb that landed on Nie Li's heart.
From the looks of it, he must obtain the Earth Dragon Fruit on this trip. Not only can he obtain the Earth Dragon Tree, he can also use the Earth Dragon Fruit to exchange for other treasures. He didn't have much time left.
"I'll have to trouble you this time." Nie Li nodded his head, expressing his gratitude. Although he had some opinions about Little Head Mo, Little Head Mo had unconditionally done so much for him. Nie Li wasn't a heartless person, so he naturally wouldn't forget his kindness.
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Seeing Nie Li's gratitude, Little Mo was stunned for a moment and waved his hand. His expression was a little nervous and reserved, which was different from how he was in the past.
"Then, I'll take my leave. The Ye Family has been trying to curry favor with me every day, so I can't leave for too long. However, you have to pay attention to the Bai Family. They seem to be related to Cloud Sea City's Bai Lu." After Little Mo finished speaking, he rolled up his clothes and left through the window.
Outside, darkness was slowly encroaching on the world. Nie Li decided to investigate the Bai Family tonight. Although Bai Jian invited him, he knew nothing about the Bai Family. Furthermore, since Bai Lu was related to the Bai Family, he had to investigate further.
Opening the package hanging by the bed, there was a mask inside. It was left behind by the Ghost Manor. Originally, he had already returned it to Fang Tong before he left. He never thought that Fang Tong would secretly give it to him.
Putting the mask in his bosom, Nie Li changed into a black close-fitting battle robe and a loose outer robe. He hid the Autumn Rain Blade behind his back, got up, and left the room. He went down the stairs and left the inn.
On the long street, the sky had already darkened. There were already scattered lanterns hanging on the side of the street, illuminating the flat road under his feet. People were coming and going. Because there was no curfew at night, there were naturally many stalls on the side of the street, although there were fewer stalls than during the day.
However, this kind of liveliness added some warmth and gentleness to the city under the night sky. This made the White Mountain City feel less unfamiliar to Nie Li.
Nie Li could no longer remember the faces of the people he brushed past. They were all passers-by. There were meetings and farewells. It was just a matter of time. For some, it was as short as a face-to-face meeting. For some, it was as long as death. It was all fate.
Although some buildings had changed on the map Bai Lu gave him, it was still roughly the same. This made Nie Li even more certain of Bai Lu's identity. However, if she was from the Bai Family, why would he go to Cloud Sea City?
Nie Li deliberately took a long detour. He would walk through the streets and alleys of White Mountain City. Because White Mountain City was a mountain city, it was naturally much smaller than Cloud Sea City. However, this kind of compact feeling made people feel satisfied as if they could fill the entire city.
Naturally, observing the terrain was one of the reasons. However, more importantly, he suspected that he was being followed. When he came out of the inn, he had a feeling that killing intent was leaking out. It might not be obvious, but under the induction of the Magic Core and his own attention, Nie Li became more and more certain of this guess.
Along the way, he deliberately walked through some crowded places in order to determine if this person was following him. He wanted to get rid of the other party. However, the other party was very patient and didn't make a move for so long.
"Lin Lin, look at those hairpins. They're all so beautiful." In the noisy crowd, Nie Li found Qin Xiaoyou and Lin Lin by the side of the road. At this moment, Qin Xiaoyou was happily holding a hairpin and constantly shaking it in front of Lin Lin.
The two of them also noticed that someone was looking at them. When they turned their heads, they saw Nie Li a few steps away. Qin Xiaoyou thought of her gaffe and quickly hid the hairpin behind her back. She lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Lin Lin looked at Nie Li unhappily, her eyes filled with disgust. Nie Li's face was cold. He didn't know what misunderstanding Lin Lin had about him, but he didn't like the look in her eyes.
Nie Li strode past them as if he didn't see them. There was a trace of disappointment in Qin Xiaoyou's eyes, but Lin Lin kept looking at Nie Li with disdain as he walked away.
"Xiaoyou, that hairpin doesn't look good. Let's pick something else." Lin Lin turned around and put on a smiling face. However, she still saw the change in Qin Xiaoyou's expression.
"That kind of man, other than his good looks, what's there to see? Who knows how dirty his heart is." Lin Lin mocked.
"He knows Junior Sister Yang, so he shouldn't be that kind of person." Qin Xiaoyou retorted timidly.
"When we return to the sect, we'll ask Junior Sister Yang properly." As Lin Lin spoke, her eyes quickly caught a corner.
There was a figure that had just disappeared. The corner of Lin Lin's mouth curled into a smile. Let's see where you can run to. This time, I'll expose your true colors.
