"This is the warrant for Cui Li's arrest issued by the Hall of the Undying City. It was sent to us a while ago, and according to the warrant, Cui Li was an outer disciple who had just joined the Undying City. He was hunting insectoids with two other outer disciples in the Abyss when they found a top quality soul armament. In order to monopolize the soul armament, Cui Li killed them and stole the treasure before running away. His character was extremely vile, so the bounty on his head was 2,000,000 gold coins. After he was placed on the wanted list, Cui Li ran away and disappeared, never showing his face again …"
Inside a dimly lit tavern, there was a bean-sized lamp on the table. A summoner wearing a gray cloak, hiding himself in the shadow of the lamp, placed a wanted poster that wasn't considered new on the table and handed it to Liu Yishu.
There was a small wine pot and two wine cups in front of them. There were a few dishes on the table. There were only a few customers in the tavern. There were only a few customers drinking at the two tables near the entrance.
Everyone used a Mute Enchantment, so outsiders couldn't hear what they were talking about.
At this time, it was already late at night. It would be dawn in a few hours. There weren't many pedestrians on the street. Even the mermen who set up the stalls had returned to the sea.
Sure enough!
Liu Yishuan glanced at the contents of the warrant. It was exactly the same as what Cui LI said. It seemed that Cui LI didn't lie to him.
Liu Yishuan nodded in satisfaction. He took out a small medicine bottle from his space equipment and handed it over.
The man in a gray cloak took the medicine bottle, looked at the pills inside, and nodded. "As a regular customer of our Ten Thousand Treasure Hall, I can also tell you a piece of news for free. The Immortal City of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect was destroyed by the Abyss Worm King yesterday. It might not be long before the Ten Thousand Gods Sect's underground fortress in the Immortal Sea will withdraw. Several Nine Sun Realm powerhouses in the Immortal Sea will take action and won't allow the Abyss Worm King to come to the surface. Two elders of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect are already rushing to the Immortal Sea …"
Liu Yishuan narrowed his eyes. "Okay, thank you, I got it …"
The man in a gray cloak put away the bottle, then got up and left. He walked out of the tavern's door and disappeared into the dark street outside in the blink of an eye.
Only Liu Yiguan was left at the table.
Liu Yiqian continued to drink by himself until he finished the wine. Only then did he leave a few gold coins on the table and walk out of the tavern.
At this time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and Liu Yiqian didn't shout anymore. Although this was a city that didn't sleep at night, most summoners had the habit of resting at night.
"2 million gold coins, that Cui LI's secret transformation technique is very useful. It's far more than just 2 million gold coins …" Liu Yiqian muttered to himself as he walked on the street.
Previously, he didn't completely believe Cui LI's words, but it didn't matter. Cui LI had already been hit by his Soul Seizing Gu. It was impossible for him to escape from his hands in the future. He could only become one of his chess pieces. Whether he lived or died was up to him.
Cui LI's transformation secret technique came from a Secret Orbit Realm Pearl that no one had ever fused with before. His transformation ability was so powerful that even he couldn't see any flaws in it.
It was said that no one had been able to successfully fuse with that Secret Orbit Realm Pearl for countless years, but that Cui LI had succeeded. This was too much of a coincidence. Therefore, that kid might not have told him the truth. That kid still had a lot of secrets. In the future, he could slowly squeeze out all the secrets and value from that kid.
'Hmm, as for now, that kid's transformation secret technique is still very useful. Let me think …'
The young master of the Amorous Valley was plotted against by him back then and died an unnatural death. All these years, the Amorous Valley had been without a leader. If that kid Cui LI transformed into the young master of the Amorous Valley and returned to the Amorous Valley, would he be able to seize the Amorous Valley's assets? The Amorous Valley was guarding a Five Sun Realm divine spring … '
'Furthermore, the patriarch of the Dugu Family in the Heavenly Bull Continent, Dugu Xin, is crazy. After entering the Void Secret Realm, there has been no news of him. If that kid transformed into Dugu Xin, would he be able to obtain the secret treasury of the Dugu Family?'
Liu Yiqian thought about all kinds of possibilities in his mind and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face. The world laughed at him for being in dire straits, but who knew that he, Liu Yiqian, had always been in control of the universe and had countless chess pieces. Not to mention some insignificant gold coins, he, Liu Yiqian, would leave his footprints on the path to becoming a god in the future.
While thinking this, Liu Yiqian arrived at Spring Wind Restaurant.
Spring Wind Restaurant was a large inn and also a large restaurant. This was a gathering place for people from all walks of life in the city. Because the cost of living was relatively cheap, summoners who didn't have much money liked to stay in this kind of place where they could live and eat.
Two strings of red lanterns were hung at the entrance of Spring Wind Restaurant. In the middle of the night, there were still people eating and drinking inside Spring Wind Restaurant. From time to time, people would enter and leave the restaurant.
"Ha, Banxian Liu is here. You must have earned a lot of money in the city today …" Spring Wind Restaurant's shopkeeper couldn't help but tease Liu Yiqian when he saw him return.
Liu Yiqian's expression changed in the blink of an eye. "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I only earned some money for the wine and drank it all into my stomach. Shopkeeper, do you want to divine? I'll give you a 30% discount. You only need to pay for my room for a few days …"
"Haha, I won't do it, I won't do it …" The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand.
"What a pity, what a pity …" Liu Yiqian shook his head and returned to his room.
Once he returned to his room, Liu Yiqian poured himself a cup of tea and made a hand seal to activate the Soulseize Gu in Cui LI's stomach.
In Liu Yiqian's view, once he activated it, Cui LI's abdominal pain would be unbearable. It wouldn't take long for him to rush to Spring Wind Restaurant to see him.
In fact, he didn't want to explain anything to Cui LI. He purely wanted Cui LI to develop the habit of being respectful and obedient to him. Just like training an eagle, only by letting Cui LI understand that his little life was in his hands at all times and obediently accept his fate would he be able to order him around in the future. This was the method of using the Soulseize Gu to control people. Liu Yiqian had long been familiar with it.
After activating it for two minutes, Liu Yiqian stopped. He quietly drank his tea and waited.
But time passed second by second. After a full half an hour, the tea on the table was finished, but Cui LI still hadn't arrived. Liu Yiqian's expression changed slightly. He closed his eyes and sensed the Soulseize Gu. It was still in his senses. It was only a few dozen miles away from him in the southeast. It wasn't far.
What's going on? Could it be that I didn't activate the Soulseize Gu with enough strength? If it was an ordinary summoner, that would be enough to make them roll on the ground.
Liu Yiqian's expression darkened. He continued to activate it for another minute, doubling the pain and giving Cui LI a splitting headache. Then he sat and waited. Another twenty minutes passed, but Cui LI still hadn't arrived. Liu Yiqian closed his eyes again and sensed with the Soulseize Gu.
This time, Liu Yiqian's expression completely changed.
The Soulseize Gu's location was the same as before. There was no change at all.
What's going on?
Liu Yiqian's expression was gloomy. He paced two rounds in the room with his hands behind his back. Finally, he opened the room's window and turned into a wisp of smoke. He directly floated out of the window and flew toward the place where he sensed the Soulseize Gu. On the way, he even used a secret technique to conceal his figure.
A few dozen miles on the island was actually not far for him. Liu Yiqian sensed the location of the Soul-seizing Venomous Worm as he flew in that direction. As he flew, Liu Yiqian's expression changed again. This was because the location of the Soul-seizing Venomous Worm seemed to be rather close to the place where the Blood Demon Church was entrenched on the cloud island. He had been monitoring the whereabouts of the people from the Blood Demon Church previously, so he naturally knew where the people from the Blood Demon Church gathered.
Perhaps this was a coincidence.
Liu Yiqian comforted himself and continued flying forward.
A few minutes later, standing in the sky four to five thousand meters away from the villa occupied by the Blood Demon Church, Liu Yiqian was completely stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. At this distance, he could already clearly feel that his Soul Seize Gu was in the direction of the villa occupied by the Blood Demon Church. The positions of the two completely overlapped.
What did this mean?
Why would Cui LI come to the villa where the Blood Demon Church was? Furthermore, he didn't leave even after Liu Yiqian activated the Soulseize Gu and caused him so much pain that he wished he was dead?
If Cui LI could move freely, he wouldn't have clenched his teeth and endured that kind of pain for no reason.
Unless … Unless Cui LI couldn't move freely and his body was completely restricted. He couldn't move at all and couldn't leave the villa where the Blood Demon Church was entrenched. This was the only possibility.
Then, the question was, why would the Blood Demon Church's people detain Cui LI for no reason?
As Liu Yiqian pondered, his body suddenly shook violently. His eyes widened and emitted two terrifying rays of light as he stared at the villa where the Blood Demon Church was entrenched. Unless … unless … Cui LI was Xia Pingan. The Blood Demon Church's experts had discovered Xia Pingan and captured Xia Pingan.
Recalling the scene where he saw Cui LI evading the Blood Demon Church's experts on the street, Liu Yiqian felt as if he had completely understood all of a sudden. His mind instantly quivered.
"Slap, you idiot. You were actually deceived by a brat and failed miserably …" Liu Yiqian, who was extremely vexed, slapped himself heavily. When he looked at the villa where the Blood Demon Church was entrenched again, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and even his breathing became heavy.
At this moment, Liu Yiqian was like a miser and a pauper looking at a lottery ticket that could win 100 million gold coins. He had originally bought it, but he had casually given it away and tossed it aside.
The fact that the Soulseize Gu could still sense it meant that Cui LI … no, Xia Pingan, meant that Xia Pingan was still alive.
Zu Motian had yet to arrive at Cloud Island. Those Blood Demon Church experts might be waiting for Zu Motian to arrive before handing Xia Pingan over to him. However, accidents could happen at any time during this period. Almost no summoner could resist the benefits of killing and sacrificing Xia Pingan. That was the temptation of becoming a god and forming an immortal body.
As long as they sacrificed Xia Pingan, they would be able to surpass Zu Motian and become a god before him. They would form the Divine Wheel first. At that time, it would be hard to say who would be the patriarch.
Those people guarding Xia Pingan could kill or sacrifice Xia Pingan at any time.
The opportunity was right in front of him. The situation was extremely urgent. What should he do?
Looking at the villa where the Blood Demon Church was entrenched in the distance, Liu Yiqian's expression became more and more malevolent and terrifying. His mind was filled with thoughts of becoming a god …
The person overseeing this place was the Golden Moon Temple Lord, an Eight Sun Realm expert. He might not be able to win.
However, if he delayed any longer, he might completely miss the opportunity in front of him. At this moment, the Golden Moon Temple Lord might already be preparing for the blood sacrifice ceremony for Xia Pingan. That was why he did not leave Cloud Island in time.
Even if only a minute passed, the situation here might change fundamentally, causing him to miss this opportunity forever.
There was only one chance. He had to go all out …
