"A top-notch soul tool that only relied on strength and not Fa Li to chop off the head of the Mantis Blade Bug and break through its body's defense?"
The man wearing a red mage robe sitting on the high seat, his hand that was holding the crystal wine cup froze. His entire person revealed a dignified expression. His brows were slightly knitted together, his body leaned forward and placed one hand on his knee. He narrowed his eagle-like sharp eyes and stared at Meng Yitong who was standing in front of him. His voice was abnormally calm, "Meng Yitong, do you know what you are saying? This kind of soul tool, even in the entire Immortal City, there are only a few that can be seen. Did you see it with your own eyes? "
Meng Yitong's face was somewhat ashen, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded, "Indeed, I saw it with my own eyes. That soul tool is a rarely seen giant sword, its sharpness is unparalleled!"
"Oh, tell me, how did you see it?"
"My brother and I were exploring the Black Wind Canyon and coincidentally met an outer sect disciple of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect called Cui LI. We went together with that person and after the three of us entered a cave together, the two of us first found that giant sword soul tool in the cave …"
Speaking until here, Meng Yitong's face revealed grief and indignation, "I didn't expect that Cui LI to be such a despicable, shameless, and treacherous villain. He forgets righteousness for the sake of profit. After seeing that giant sword, he realized that the giant sword's power was limitless. He used the excuse of admiring it and tricked the giant sword from my brother's hands to his own. Then, he suddenly attacked my brother and killed him with just one slash. I was caught off guard and was also heavily injured. I was only lucky to escape with my life, so I hurriedly rushed to the Immortal City to report to Deacon Ling.
"Oh, didn't you say that the giant sword could chop off the head of the Mantis Blade Bug? Don't tell me that after that Cui LI killed your brother and injured you, he also killed three Mantis Blade Bugs in front of you? " The man wearing a red mage robe sitting on the high seat was not so easily fooled. After hearing Meng Yitong's words, his mouth revealed a mocking smile, and asked again.
If a newbie who had just entered the industry obtained something good, it was indeed possible for them to be tricked. However, who were the people who came to the Godslaying Bug World? These Six Sun Realm summoners were all veterans. They had seen all sorts of dangers. These fellows who were about to turn into spirits would actually be able to unsuspectingly lend a supreme-grade soul tool to a companion they had just met to "admire" it and then be tricked?
This matter was full of suspicious points, and this suspicious point just happened to explain how Meng Yitong knew that person called Cui LI, and how that top-grade soul armament ended up in Cui LI's hands. It was just barely enough to justify everything.
"Deacon Ling, there were Mantis Blade Bugs in that cave. My brother, Mingtian, used that giant sword to chop off the heads of three Mantis Blade Bugs. In our great joy, we heard that Cui LI wanted to borrow the soul tool to take a look, so we let our guard down and lent the supreme-grade soul tool to Cui LI. However, we didn't expect that Cui LI had long been harboring murderous intentions, and wanted to take the treasure that we brothers discovered for himself!" Meng Yitong's tongue was as eloquent as a lotus flower. He knew that there were loopholes in his explanation, but that didn't matter. What mattered was what this Deacon Ling in front of him chose to believe.
As Meng Yitong spoke, he also quietly raised his head to size up Deacon Ling's expression. After seeing Deacon Ling's expression, he was relieved. This was because when Deacon Ling had heard about the supreme-grade soul tool, although his expression was calm and mocking, as if he didn't want to completely believe his words, Deacon Ling's eyes were shining. Meng Yitong was very familiar with that kind of light — it was greed.
"What do you mean by looking for me?" Deacon Ling fiddled with the crystal cup in his hand and began to adjust his tone, "I can't just listen to your side of the story for this kind of thing!"
"Deacon Ling is responsible for maintaining the discipline of Immortal City. As long as Deacon Ling can avenge my brother Mingtian and kill that Cui LI, I'm willing to offer that supreme-grade soul tool on him to Deacon Ling. My brother Mingtian will be able to die in peace!"
"So it's like that …" Deacon Ling's eyebrows twitched, "What does that Cui LI look like? Do you have a portrait of him?"
"Yes, please take a look, Deacon Ling!" Meng Yitong bent over and took two steps forward, handing over a portrait scroll, "This is that person's face. I've carefully examined it, and it shouldn't be disguised. However, whether that person's name is Cui LI or not still needs to be investigated. That person's heart is like a snake's and extremely vicious, so it's possible that he's using an alias!"
Deacon Ling unfolded the portrait, which was precisely Cui LI's appearance. He looked refined and cultured, and at least from his appearance, he didn't look like the kind of person who would resort to unscrupulous means.
Deacon Ling took two glances at the portrait before looking at Meng Yitong. The corner of his mouth twitched, "Alright, I understand!"
Meng Yitong took another step forward, "Deacon Ling, can you issue a bounty? I'm willing to offer two million gold coins as a reward …"
"Hmm?" Deacon Ling's expression immediately turned cold. He glanced at Meng Yitong with an unkind gaze, his gaze was as cold as a blade. The aura on his body immediately pressed over, "Are you telling me what to do?"
Meng Yitong's hair stood on end, as if a slippery and cold poisonous snake slid down his collar from his back. His entire body was covered in cold sweat. Although there was only a difference of one realm between the Six Sun Realm and the Seven Sun Realm, the disparity in strength between the two parties was extremely large and difficult to bridge. When facing a Seven Sun Realm expert, a Six Sun Realm expert would feel powerless and weak like a child facing an adult.
Meng Yitong hurriedly took two steps back and lowered his head, "I don't dare, everything will be decided by Deacon Ling!"
"You can leave. I understand this matter, I'll deal with it according to the situation!" Deacon Ling impatiently waved his hand, already giving the order to leave.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Meng Yitong retreated and left the room. Then, under the guidance of the two summoned servants, he left Deacon Ling's mansion in Undying City.
After walking out of Deacon Ling's mansion, Meng Yitong heaved a sigh of relief.
Deacon Ling did not return Cui LI's portrait, which actually meant that Deacon Ling had already taken over this matter.
Once he returned to Undying City, he hurriedly came to look for Deacon Ling. Meng Yitong had no choice but to strike first to gain the upper hand. If Cui LI returned to Undying City first to report him and Mingtian, according to the rules of Undying City, he and Mingtian would be charged with the death penalty for robbing and killing a fellow sect member.
Once such an outcome occurred, even if he did not die, he could only escape from Undying City in the future and flee to the ends of the world, ready to face the Ten Thousand Gods Sect's bounty at any time.
Therefore, Meng Yitong threw caution to the wind.
Fortunately, the top-grade soul weapon in Cui LI's hand was enough to make Cui LI die without a burial place.
After Meng Yitong left Deacon Ling's mansion, he did not go far. Instead, he went to a nearby restaurant and ordered some wine and dishes. Then, he stared at Deacon Ling's mansion. However, after more than ten minutes, Meng Yitong saw a figure flying out of Deacon Ling's mansion. The figure was like lightning, flying towards the hall of affairs in the city. Meng Yitong finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Once Cui LI was wanted, in the end, even if Cui LI had the chance to report him, Meng Yitong would not be able to testify. Then, both sides would have something to talk about and he would not fall into a desperate situation.
"You think you're so great just because you have a top-grade soul weapon? You'll soon know what it means to have a sinister heart!" Meng Yitong narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, revealing a cold smile on his face.
And just as Meng Yitong was drinking wine in the restaurant, Xia Pingan, who had chased Meng Yitong all the way here, had almost reached the outskirts of Undying City.
Once Child of Fortune was far away, he could not lock onto his target. However, the Black Dragon could always sense Meng Yitong's aura. Xia Pingan had chased after Meng Yitong all the way here. The Five Sun Realm Xia Pingan's flying ability was not inferior to the Six Sun Realm Meng Yitong's, so he did not catch up halfway.
Seeing that Meng Yitong actually went straight to Undying City without any scruples after leaving Black Wind Canyon, Xia Pingan became more cautious and completed a transformation midway.
At this moment, Xia Pingan was no longer that refined Cui LI. Instead, he had already changed his appearance. He had turned into a bald man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a horse on his arm. He wore a summoner's armor and was over two meters tall. He was completely different from Xia Pingan and Cui LI's previous appearance.
Xia Pingan did not know why he had transformed into such an appearance. It was just that when he transformed, this huge contrast with his previous appearance naturally appeared in his mind. Then, Xia Pingan activated a secret transformation technique and changed his appearance to return to Undying City.
As soon as Xia Pingan landed at the entrance of Undying City, Child of Fortune jumped out from his secret mandala and immediately sensed Meng Yitong's aura. In a few flashes, Child of Fortune appeared in the restaurant where Meng Yitong was drinking. He sat on Meng Yitong's head and locked onto Meng Yitong's trace.
Xia Pingan grinned and swaggered directly towards the restaurant where Meng Yidong was at …..
