Tang Sanhua didn't drag her feet and left in a straightforward manner.
Yan Li meditated on the spot to recover most of his energy. Then he packed his things and went down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, he met a carriage on the official road. He recognized the coachman. It was Zhu Hou, another colleague of the Judicial Department.
He had just killed a colleague, so he didn't care about the others. However, there were only a few people in the world who could make a fourth-rank official drive a carriage. One of them was his master.
So he stopped and smiled. "Lord Zhu, what a coincidence. Are you also out for a walk?"
Zhu Hou pulled the reins and said with an expressionless face, "I came out with the commander to chase the non-humankind spies and their accomplices."
"I've only heard of alien spies. What accomplices?" Yan Li looked left and right. "Unfortunately, I haven't seen them. Goodbye."
"Big brother, you have to admit your mistakes." The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yue 'er smiled sweetly at Yan Li. Then, like a civet, she drilled out and landed lightly on the ground. She pressed the curtain and said, "Master, could it be that you're so happy that you've lost your mind? Big brother is right here. Otherwise, he will run away. "
"How can you talk to your master like that?" Li Yong scolded and walked out of the carriage.
Yue 'er opened her innocent eyes wide. "Do I need to pay attention to the way I talk to you? Which book didn't Yue 'er read it? "
Zhu Hou's heart jumped. The little girl really didn't understand the commander at all. He hated it when his dignity was challenged. If it was someone else, he would have become a corpse.
Li Yong didn't lose his temper. His eyes fell on Yan Li. "Your aura is different. It seems you have made a big breakthrough."
"Lord Zhu, you have a good eye." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Since you are alive, Lan Yu and the others should be in danger." Li Yong said and turned to Zhu Hou. "Take Yue 'er to Rong City. You must stop Tang Sanghua from coming out."
"Lord Zhu …" Zhu Hou hesitated.
"What?" Li Yong's eyes turned cold.
"This subordinate is just worried …" Zhu Hou's heart trembled and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Obeying orders is the only value in your existence." Li Yong's eyes were cold, as if if he said the word "no" again, he would make him bleed on the spot.
"Yes!" Zhu Hou was about to carry Yue 'er.
"Yue 'er, don't go to Rong City. Yue' er wants to see Master and Big Brother fight." Yue 'er dodged and said with dissatisfaction.
"Listen to me!" Li Yong's face darkened.
Zhu Hou suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Li Yong in disbelief. With Li Yong's cultivation, he only needed to raise his hand to kill a cultivator below the Cultivation Realm. Even if Yan Li had broken through to Martial Master, he was still only a third-rank Martial Master. He had no way of resisting.
Li Yong's actions showed that he was very afraid. A dignified cultivator being afraid of a Rank-3 Martial Artist. It was indeed a joke if word got out. However, Zhu Hou understood Li Yong very well. He knew that Li Yong would not speak without thinking.
"Miss Yue 'er, let's not disturb them. When we arrive at Rong City, I'll buy you some candies."
"Rong City also has candies?" Yue 'er asked expectantly.
"Yes, why not? There's also candied haws. Before I followed Master, I held a position in Rong City."
"I want to go, I want to go." Yue 'er happily climbed into the carriage.
Zhu Hou heaved a sigh of relief and drove the carriage away.
"Master, you have to be gentle. Yue 'er doesn't like to see people die too miserably." Yue' er waved her hand. Then she turned to Yan Li and said with a smile, "Big Brother, take care. Don't die. If you die, it won't be fun. Master will also be very sad."
Yan Li did not move. It was because of the vigilance and pleading in Zhu Hou's eyes. Zhu Hou did not want to be enemies with Yan Li, but he could not let Yan Li hold Yue 'er hostage. If Yan Li chose this opportunity to attack, then the two sides would fight to the death.
Yan Li still moved. Just as the carriage was about to pass him, he suddenly entered the forest beside the road.
"Seeing that you did not touch Yue 'er, I will give you a chance. Use the strange power in your body to fight to the death with me!"
Li Yong's silhouette flickered, and he appeared several meters away. His Curved Serpent Sword slashed horizontally through the air. His powerful true energy immediately formed a translucent, crystalline crescent moon. All the trees within three hundred meters of him were chopped in half.
Yan Li leaped and twisted his body, taking out the Leaving Cliff Sword to block. The powerful force caused him to slide backwards as soon as he landed. He crashed through countless trees before he finally came to a stop. His Qi and blood surged. He felt a sweetness in his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it back down.
This move was just a very ordinary move. There was no sword force involved, it was purely a suppression of strength. Otherwise, he would have ended up like those trees. However, the Hidden Sword Tactics could only absorb less than half of it. When he fought with Qin Yiqiu, his opponent's attack, which was equivalent to a Cultivation Realm attack, was completely swallowed by the Hidden Sword Tactics. This meant that a profound technique could not completely erase the gap between realms. Moreover, Origin Qi and true Qi were very different.
"What is Milord doing?" Yan Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Do you think I'm an accomplice of the Mutated Tribe's spy? Even if you're Milord, you can't slander a student of the Academy without any evidence. "
Li Yong said coldly, "Yan Li, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. If you don't make your next move, I won't be lenient anymore."
Yan Li said, "I'm a student of the Academy. If Milord attacks me, then you're attacking the Academy. If you attack the Academy, then you're making an enemy of His Majesty. Milord, you must consider this carefully."
Li Yong's face darkened. He said angrily, "Yan Li, why are you pretending to be stupid? The battle at Black Mountain was my greatest humiliation. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to dispel the hatred in my heart!"
"Milord, you've forgotten that the crusade against Black Mountain was under Ji Tiansheng's orders," Yan Li said.
"Looks like you're planning to keep up the act." Li Yong suddenly laughed. "Or are you trying to buy time? Don't waste your time. The Yanshan Robber won't be able to come to your rescue. "
Yan Li's expression changed slightly. "What did you do?"
Seeing that the other finally reacted, Li Yong laughed heartily. "I wrote a letter to the Martial God Palace. Wang Ba immediately went to see His Majesty. Guess what His Majesty's attitude was? It's said that the experts of the Hall of Worship and the Academy have also left Yongling. "
"Ji Tiansheng!" Yan Li's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous light. "Killing the donkey after it's no longer useful?"
"A mere bandit dares to call His Majesty by name!" Li Yong's killing intent soared. "You Yanshan Robber, go reunite in the sea of stars!"
The Curved Serpent Sword swung. Sword momentum interweaved, and a cold and domineering aura filled the air. It was as if thousands of snakes had come out of their caves and were about to devour Yan Li.
Yan Li took a few steps back. Leaving Cliff was placed on his waist, and his eyes became somewhat absent-minded. This was the first time he used the last move of the Blue Lotus, so he was a bit shaky and couldn't grasp its essence. But at least he could move his vitality. In addition to the vitality stored by Leaving Cliff, it was still quite impressive.
However, his opponent was a real person, and his moves were driven by true energy. This move of his was truly lacking in maturity.
At this moment, a shadow flashed through the forest. With lightning speed, it passed Yan Li and met the ten thousand snakes first.
Li Yong was startled, but he had no choice but to release the arrow on the bowstring. The ten thousand snakes stretched out their heads and crazily bit at the newcomer.
The newcomer was also wearing a sword. His movements were very gentle and slow. With a wave of his hand, a cold light flashed and all the snakes' heads were cut off. All the aura and sword momentum vanished into thin air, and the sword gently returned to its sheath.
This was an unexpected scene.
At the very least, Li Yong felt that it was absurd. This was because the person who had come to save Yan Li was ranked sixth on the Asura List, the master of the Everlasting Peace Xiao Clan — Xiao Yueming.
"If this seat remembers correctly, Li Jiming is on the list of foreign spies being pursued." Li Yong coldly looked at the newcomer. "If this seat isn't overthinking things, then this should be Everlasting Peace Xiao Clan's declaration to His Majesty. What is your distinguished self doing here?"
"Lord Li, please don't mind me," Xiao Yueming said with a smile. "This old man is just a passerby whose life is rotting away."
Li Yong sternly said, "You saved a spy! The Xiao Clan is rebelling!"
"I've heard that the Judicial Department is domineering. Today, I see that they live up to their reputation." Xiao Yueming said with a bitter smile. "This old man was entrusted with a task and was loyal to it. How can I be accused of rebelling?"
Li Yong's tone softened. "If Elder Xiao leaves immediately, this seat can pretend that nothing happened."
"What happened to Yan Shiyi?" Yan Li suddenly asked.
Xiao Yueming turned around and glanced at Yan Li. He said with a smile, "You are Yan Li? Xiao Sibai was defeated by you, right? The younger generation will surpass the older in time! "
"Hurry up and tell me what happened to Yan Shiyi!" Yan Li roared.
"Even if this old man's life is rotting away, a junior like you is too rude." Xiao Yueming was extremely displeased, but he still said, "Before Yan Shiyi died, he asked this old man to save your life."
"What … did you say?" Yan Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him dumbfounded on the spot.
"Impossible!" He gasped for breath as he retreated step by step. His eyes were unfocused as he slammed into a tree. This collision was completely out of control. The wound on his back had just been bandaged, but it woke him up from the pain.
"Impossible!" He angrily roared, turned around, and madly ran away.
"Halt!" Li Yong wanted to chase after him, but was blocked by Xiao Yueming.
"Sigh." Xiao Yueming sighed. "This old man hasn't finished speaking. Youngsters are impatient."
Li Yong unwaveringly stared at Xiao Yueming. "Since that's the case, I, Judicial Department's Li Yong, would like to ask for Elder Xiao's advice!"
"Sigh." Xiao Yueming sighed again. "This old man really doesn't want to fight with you."
"Old bones need to move occasionally!" Li Yong mocked.
"No, that's not what I mean." Xiao Yueming glanced at him. "Forgive this old man for speaking bluntly, but you don't have the qualifications to make this old man draw his sword."
"Then come and give it a try!" Li Yong roared. Boundless true energy surged out of his body and transformed into a huge golden snake.
"Your aura is not bad." Xiao Yueming smiled and nodded. Then, he held the sheathed sword in his hand and pointed it in the air. True Qi poured out from the place he touched.
Like a torrential flood, under Li Yong's incredulous gaze, the golden snake was crushed like rotten weeds. His vision turned black and he lost consciousness.
