This woman was called Ying Yue and was also Granny Li's personal disciple.
Li Xiaotian coldly looked at Ying Yue and asked, "You stopped them. What do you want?"
Ying Yue's charm was only slightly inferior to Li Xiaotian's, but she was still publicly acknowledged as a great beauty.
She raised her head to Li Xiaotian and said, "You've changed a lot since your return, as if you've become a different person. I have reason to suspect that you've already betrayed the Li Palace."
Her insight was unique, hitting the nail on the head.
When the others heard this, they began to whisper to each other.
Li Xiaotian did not panic in the slightest, nor did he become angry. On the contrary, his lips curled into a sneer.
Although she had never known Ying Yue before, after yesterday's inquiries, she had gained a general understanding of the Li Palace without leaving a trace.
She had the most thorough understanding of Ying Yue because she had long ago predicted that she would make a move, but she had not expected it to be so soon.
"Ying Yue, don't you find this accusation laughable? I am the Holy Maiden of the Li Palace, so how could I betray the Li Palace? "Li Xiaotian retorted.
Although Ying Yue also felt that her suspicion was somewhat absurd, this was her intuition and she had to speak it out.
"The human heart is unfathomable. Even if you're the Holy Maiden, it's not impossible for you to betray." Ying Yue refused to let go.
"Haha, laughable! I see that you're the one who's betrayed the Li Palace, betrayed the Palace Master, and that's why you're trying to drive a wedge between us. "Li Xiaotian struck later, but his words were aimed directly at Ying Yue's weak point.
The others all looked at her. After all, no one else had jumped out while she had blindly jumped out to accuse Ying Yue. This was enough to make her credibility drop a few notches.
Li Xiaotian very cleverly used this point to his advantage, so many of the spectators began to tilt the scales in their hearts.
Ying Yue thought to herself that this was bad. The Holy Maiden was resourceful and had a sharp tongue. Not only could she not gain any advantage with her words, she could also easily be dragged into a ditch. She hurriedly retorted, "I am loyal and devoted to the Li Palace and the Palace Master. I have no disloyalty. You're the one who is venomously slandering me."
Li Xiaotian's eyes grew cold. "Since you have no disloyalty, why are you questioning the Palace Master's decision?"
"I …"
"Scram!" Li Xiaotian berated.
Ying Yue's face flushed red. Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "I won't move. These people are enemies, and you lured them here, but you didn't do anything. I can't just turn a blind eye to this. They must stay and wait for the Palace Master to return. Then, everything will come to light. "
"Then can you take responsibility for delaying the Palace Master's important matters?" Li Xiaotian pressed.
A trace of panic flashed through Ying Yue's eyes before she quickly regained her composure and said, "I will bear all the consequences. If Palace Master punishes me, I will not complain."
She was making a bet this time because she really thought that everything was too strange, so she chose to follow her heart.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. This person's determination was beyond his expectations. Facing such a strong pressure, she did not shrink back at all.
"Do you think you can just say that you'll bear the consequences? How much weight can your shoulders bear? "Li Xiaotian asked jokingly.
Ying Yue's face was red. In fact, she felt a bit guilty, "In any case, I can't let them go."
"I am the Holy Maiden. Since the Palace Master is not here, you must listen to me. Do you want to go against your superiors?"
"I … I don't."
"If you don't, then move."
"No!"
The others couldn't stand it anymore. They knew that Li Xiaotian's anger was about to erupt. They quickly pulled Ying Yue to persuade her. However, Ying Yue was like a stubborn bull. Because this time she had offended Li Xiaotian, she decided to stake it all on one throw.
"Holy Maiden, if you have the guts, then let them stay and wait for the Palace Master to return."
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Li Xiaotian stepped forward and glared at Ying Yue.
Ying Yue's martial arts were not as good as Li Xiaotian's. Being suppressed by her aura, her heart raced, but she did not retreat, "If you want to let them go, then you have to step over my body."
"Is that so?" Li Xiaotian smiled faintly.
Ying Yue panicked. She suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Li Xiaotian glanced at the other disciples of the Li Palace and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Disobeying the Holy Maiden's orders, have you forgotten the punishment? "
They were shocked, as if they were facing a great enemy. They replied with a "Yes" and then surrounded Ying Yue.
"What are you doing?"
"Ying Yue, you disobeyed the Holy Maiden's orders and went against your superiors. This is a betrayal of the Li Palace. Hurry up and surrender, otherwise, we won't care about our friendship." They loudly said.
When the other people that Ying Yue had secretly tried to win over saw this scene, they all chose to remain silent, not daring to help her.
It was just that the Holy Maiden's reputation and prestige were too great, so they had no choice but to shrink back.
When Tang Zheng and the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at Li Xiaotian in a new light. Although she had lost her memories, her methods were not bad at all. She had actually taken the initiative so quickly and made an example out of them. With Ying Yue as a precedent, even if the others had any ideas, they would be quickly snuffed out.
At this time, Tang Zheng somewhat believed in Li Xiaotian's plan.
Lan Yu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Ying Yue looked around at the crowd that was glaring at her like a tiger watching its prey. She flew into a rage, "Li Xiaotian, you're distorting the truth, I'll fight you to the death!"
Sou!
Her martial arts were much higher than the average disciple of the Li Palace, so before the others could react, she leapt into the air, flying over their heads and pouncing towards Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian stood in her original position, not retreating a single step. Suddenly, she stretched out a hand and pointed at Ying Yue's chest.
Peng!
In a moment of desperation, Ying Yue's door was wide open, and there were too many flaws to be found. Li Xiaotian didn't waste any effort and quickly attacked her weak spot, defeating the enemy in one move, valiant and formidable.
Ying Yue staggered backwards, falling to the ground in a sorry state. The other Li Palace disciples hurriedly surrounded her and captured her.
"Li Xiaotian, I'm not done with you." Ying Yue roared with a heart-wrenching voice.
Li Xiaotian didn't even look at her, directly walking in front of Tang Zheng and the others. She couldn't help but say, "You guys leave first."
"Then this matter …" Tang Zheng glanced at Ying Yue, whose eyes seemed like they were about to spit fire.
Li Xiaotian faintly smiled, brimming with confidence, "I can handle it, don't worry."
Tang Zheng was infected by her smile, nodding his head in understanding, "Then you have to be careful, goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the valley with the others.
The others looked back at Li Xiaotian from time to time, seeing that she had already walked in front of Ying Yue, no one knew what she was talking about.
When they had completely left the valley, Lan Yu curiously asked, "How do you think Li Xiaotian will deal with that person?"
"Li Xiaotian won't kill her, right?" Martial was also very curious.
Everyone looked at Tang Zheng, clearly wanting to hear his answer. He muttered to himself for a long time before saying, "I think Li Xiaotian won't kill anyone, she is a kind person at the bottom of her heart."
"It's just a person, what's the difference between killing and not killing?" Tian Chanzi shrugged, not finding it strange at all.
"If she kills, then it means that she is no different from the previous Li Palace Holy Maiden, and in the future, she will also become our enemy." Lan Yu said worriedly.
Martial's heart tightened as he subconsciously looked at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng did not say a word as he continued to walk forward.
Empyrean Fairy suddenly broke the silence and said, "No matter what kind of thoughts she has, Tang Zheng has already left her far behind, so she won't be able to cause any big waves."
These words hit the nail on the head. No matter how powerful Li Xiaotian was, she still could not be compared to Tang Zheng. Even if the worst result was that she recovered her memories, she would not become enemies with Tang Zheng.
Because she was a smart person, this kind of person was the best at judging the situation.
In the past, she had no choice but to become enemies with Tang Zheng. Now that she had a choice, why would she choose such a bumpy road? This was not Li Xiaotian's style.
Tang Zheng did not think so much, other than his trust in Li Xiaotian, he had more confidence in the Soul Searching Technique. How could the memory loss caused by the Soul Searching Technique be so easy to remove, so he was not worried about Li Xiaotian recovering her memories.
In short, the group left the Li Palace and set foot on the road to the Northwest Desert. Everyone retracted their thoughts, but when they thought about how Grandma Li had been in the Northwest Desert for so long, they felt a little uncertain. What kind of problem had caused her to pay so much attention to it?
The desert was like a painting that slowly unfolded in front of everyone. Walking in the hot desert, if it was an ordinary person, they would have already been unable to hold on, but for them, this was just a piece of cake.
Heat waves hit their faces and yellow sand filled the sky, but traces of spiritual energy were transmitted from the heat waves.
Tang Zheng, Tian Chanzi, and Empyrean Fairy were the most sensitive to spiritual energy, so they immediately discovered this point. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for such an environment to have such abundant spiritual energy, so the only possibility was the Tree of Life.
Tang Zheng had walked through this area before, but at that time, there was no spiritual energy.
It seemed that the Tree of Life had greatly transformed the environment of this world, so much so that even this almost barren desert was full of spiritual energy.
The three of them could not help but feel happy. The more spiritual energy there was in the world, the more advantageous it was for cultivators like them.
The other three were martial artists, so they were not so sensitive to spiritual energy. Seeing their reaction, they asked curiously.
Tang Zheng gave a simple introduction, and the corners of their mouths showed a bitter smile.
If cultivators were strong, then it would be difficult to maintain the status of martial artists.
However, when they saw Tang Zheng, this idea was thrown to the back of their minds. As long as it was something beneficial to him, what did it matter if they suffered a little loss?
