Li Mobai, what are you trying to do? "Li Xuan gritted his teeth as he stared at Li Mobai.
"Nothing. After all, you are my brother. Even if I die, I have to let you die knowing." As Li Mobai spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Li Weiyang, you did well on this matter."
Li Weiyang clearly couldn't see the room next door. When she heard Li Mobai's voice, she immediately looked around in panic and realized that the voice was coming from the speaker in the room. Only then did she say excitedly into the speaker, "I've already done what you asked me to do. Please remove the Gu poison from my body."
Li Mobai glanced at Li Xuan and continued, "Li Xuan usually treats you so well, but you actually handed him to me. Don't you know what will happen to him if he falls into my hands?"
Li Xuan originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Li Mobai's question, he fell silent. Through the mirror on the wall, he looked at Li Weiyang in another room.
Li Weiyang said with a pale face, "I know I've let Li Xuan down, but I just want to live. I have no choice."
"He's your brother," Li Mobai said in a mocking tone.
"I have no choice either. I'm just an illegitimate daughter, but he's the high and mighty third young master of the Li family. We aren't from the same world to begin with. He treats me well only because he's putting on an act for others to see. He's pitiful and charitable …" Li Weiyang said.
When Li Xuan heard that, the color in his face drained.
He had always treated Li Weiyang as his biological sister, but he never expected her to say such a thing.
Although his life was in danger, Li Xuan still couldn't accept those words.
Li Mobai didn't say a word as he looked at Li Xuan. Li Weiyang turned anxious. "I've already done what you asked me to do. You said that you would remove the Gu poison from my body. Quickly remove it for me …"
Li Weiyang slammed the table in excitement. Her voice sounded agitated, but it also had a pleading tone.
"Of course, I, Li Mobai, will definitely keep my promise. However, you still have to do one last thing for me. After doing this, you can regain your freedom," Li Mobai said.
"What else do you want me to do?" Li Weiyang asked loudly.
"Li Weiyang, you should know that as long as someone knows, there are no absolute secrets. If I release you now, there will come a day when you will tell everyone that I killed Li Xuan," Li Mobai said calmly.
"No, no, no. I definitely won't say anything. I won't say anything. You have to believe me …" Li Weiyang waved her hands in panic, her face filled with fear.
"I don't like having my fate in the hands of others. It's easy for me to let you go unless you personally kill Li Xuan. Only then can I feel at ease letting you go. I don't have to worry about you snitching when you leave. If you snitch, you will be the first to die," Li Mobai said.
"No, no, no. I can't do that." Li Weiyang shook her head as she retreated.
"Of course, you have the right to choose, but if you don't do it, I can only let you die here. Only a dead person can keep a secret," Li Mobai said.
"You can't do this to me!" Li Weiyang's face contorted as she looked conflicted.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Li Weiyang clutched her stomach and fell to the ground, her expression filled with pain.
"The Gu poison has already taken effect. You don't have much time left," Li Mobai said expressionlessly.
"I … I … I promise you …" Li Weiyang said in pain.
Li Xuan felt as though he had been struck by lightning as his expression turned extremely ugly.
"Sorry, you agreed too late. I've changed my mind. A dead person can keep a secret better," Li Mobai said as he touched the ring on his finger. As Li Mobai spoke, he touched the ring on his finger. Li Weiyang immediately convulsed. In just a moment, she rolled her eyes and foamed at the mouth. She looked like she was on the verge of death.
"Stop. She's already promised you. Why do you still want to kill her?" Li Xuan shouted.
Li Mobai said indifferently, "Because I never planned on letting her leave alive. Only a dead person can truly keep a secret. This world is just that cruel."
With that said, Li Mobai extended his hand in front of Li Xuan. In his palm was a strange bug. The bug looked like a centipede, but it had a scorpion's tail. There were four transparent wings on its back, and its head looked a little like a cricket. It looked very strange.
"Do you know what this is?" Li Mobai said with a smile.
Seeing Li Xuan glaring at him with blood-red eyes, Li Mobai continued, "This is a strange Companion Beast. Its name is Life-Snatching Gu. However, don't worry. It won't really take your life. The life it takes is only your Life Providence. Then, it can transfer your Life Providence to me, allowing me to have two Life Providences."
"You want my Life Providence? Since you want my Life Providence so much, why don't you cultivate the Invincible Connate Divine Art yourself? "Li Xuan looked at Li Mobai in a daze.
Li Mobai revealed a strange smile. "That's because cultivating the Invincible Connate Divine Art requires one to be a virgin. If I cultivate it, the Li family won't have a successor. However, you are different. If you cultivate the Invincible Connate Divine Art, then I can steal your Life Providence. I don't need to maintain my virginity and can still have your Life Providence. Although it's not as powerful as cultivating the Invincible Connate Divine Art myself, it's enough. "
Without waiting for Li Mobai to speak, Li Mobai continued, "My talent is better than yours and my abilities are stronger than yours. The old man made you cultivate the Invincible Connate Divine Art for me."
"Impossible. You are lying," Li Xuan said loudly.
"I'm lying? Everyone knows that those who cultivate the Invincible Connate Divine Art can't have any descendants. Even the original owner of the Invincible Connate Divine Art, the Xia family, doesn't cultivate it. Yet, the old man is getting you to cultivate it. Do you think this is something a father would do? "Li Mobai said with a smile.
"I was the one who wanted to cultivate the Invincible Connate Divine Art. It has nothing to do with the old man," Li Xuan said.
"Did you really want to cultivate it? Do you still remember who told you how powerful the Invincible Connate Divine Art was when you were young and how impressive the Xia family's patriarch was? " Li Mobai continued with a smile, "Ever since you were young, everyone has told you how powerful the Invincible Connate Divine Art is. It has subtly influenced you to think that it's nothing to be a virgin your entire life in order to cultivate such a Primordial Energy Art, right?"
Li Xuan wanted to retort, but recalling his childhood, it did seem to be the case. Everyone, including the old man, had told him that the Invincible Connate Divine Art was very powerful and invincible. If he mastered it, he could become a hero of the world.
Therefore, from a young age, he felt that cultivating the Invincible Connate Divine Art was a heroic act. Now that Li Mobai had pointed it out, Li Xuan felt his body turn cold.
"Impossible … It's impossible for the old man to do this to me … I'm his son … It's impossible for him to do this to me …" Li Xuan seemed to be trying to convince himself.
"If you are really his son, of course it's impossible. Unfortunately, you aren't. You have always thought that you are his biological son, but in fact, you aren't. You are just a tool prepared for me. It's been hard on you. After all these years, it's time for your mission to be completed," Li Mobai said as he placed the Life-Reaping Gu on Li Xuan's face.
The Life-Reaping Gu automatically burrowed into Li Xuan's nose. Li Xuan felt as though his body was being sliced by a knife wherever the Life-Reaping Gu crawled past.
Soon, the pain reached his heart. At the same time, he felt a strange force spread throughout his body.
"My good brother, thank you for all your years of hard cultivation. I will treat your Life Providence well. In the future, when my name shakes the world, your Life Providence will also become famous with me. As my brother, you should be very happy, right?" Li Mobai's finger slid across Li Xuan's forehead. His finger emitted a strange light as though it had stabbed into Li Xuan's head.
"Bastard … You bastard …" Li Xuan felt as though countless steel needles were stabbing into his head, as though they were about to pull out his brain.
Li Xuan struggled with all his might, but the metal chain had a strange effect. Not only did it lock his body, but it also blocked the circulation of his Primordial Energy.
"Don't be so rude. The Li family has raised you for so many years after all. You should be grateful." Li Mobai continued, "By the way, you have a very good classmate named Zhou Wen, right? You are quite pitiful. You can't get close to women, so you actually like men. Forget it. In the future, I'll use your Life Providence to kill him and let him accompany you. "
"Li … Xiu … Bai …" As though it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, Li Xuan's eyes turned blood-red. All his Primordial Energy erupted like a blood flame as it burned crazily. All his bones and muscles swelled as his hair stood on end. A blood-colored carapace appeared on his body, forming a strange armor. Four transparent blood wings spread out behind him, making him look like a fiendcelestial.
On his body, a scarlet shadow condensed like a devil from ancient times as it attached itself to Li Xuan's body.
Crack!
The metal chain that bound his body and Primordial Energy snapped inch by inch, no longer able to restrain his body.
"Li Xiubai, I'll kill you!" Li Xuan stared at Li Mobai with blood-red eyes as he roared angrily. The blood-red shadow on his body roared as well, as though it was a devil possessing him.
He didn't even call Li Mobai by his name and directly called him by his real name, Li Xiubai.
"Come on, let me see what you have to kill me," Li Mobai said as his eyes shimmered with fervor.
"Die!" Killing intent burned in Li Xuan's eyes as the sanguine light on his body erupted. The devil behind him roared as his fist punched at Li Mobai with the power of blood flames.
Boom!
The blood-red light exploded in the secret room, turning the entire room into ruins.
