"Oh?" Yan Li sneered. "Didn't you suffer enough in the day?"
That person laughed sinisterly and said, "I know you didn't kill me because you didn't want to bring trouble to the father and daughter. I've seen many soft-hearted idiots like you, and they all died in my hands. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Yan Li said indifferently.
That person raised his head and revealed a mark on his neck. "Because those idiots weren't strong enough, yet they insisted on standing out. They dared to provoke the Heaven Worship Sect. I think they must be tired of living!"
Yan Li finally noticed the mark. It was a black lotus.
He had heard of the Heaven Worship Sect from Li Xuanwei, but he didn't expect there to be such a sect.
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: What's the relationship between Martial God Wang Ba's housekeeper and Yu Xingzhi with the Heaven Worship Sect? Why does Yang Youyun have the Demon Beauty Blood's formula?
This thought only flashed through his mind.
That person saw that Yan Li was indifferent even after knowing about the Heaven Worship Sect, and his heart started to pound. He glanced at his companion beside him, and his companion gave him the same look.
"Before you die, I'll be merciful and ask for your name and your last wishes," that person said.
Yan Li smiled faintly and said, "How much Demon Beauty Blood did you consume?"
That person was startled. "What blood?"
Yan Li had an 'as expected' look on his face as he said with a smile, "You don't even know the Yao Yan Blood, yet you dare to pretend to be a follower of Heaven. Aren't you a little too bold?"
Seeing that his usual move failed to scare the other party, the man flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Humph, we'll send you back to the sea of stars, and you'll know whether we're imposters or not!"
"Kill him!"
As soon as the murderous shout fell, two of the seven people rushed out first. One was wielding a sickle while the other was wielding a spear. Both of them held ordinary weapons in their hands, not even treasured weapons. Once they attacked, their auras surged out. They were both third grade martial artists.
A Rank Three Martial Artist didn't even have a Precious Weapon. It looked like it was really hard for cultivators in this world to make a name for themselves.
However, these two were clearly different from Zhao Dechuan. They were used to fighting fiercely, and they both had a sense of valiance. Moreover, there was a slight aura that was enough to intimidate ordinary people and cultivators below the level of martial artists.
Aura was the condensation of one's moves. The person wielding the sickle charged halfway and suddenly leaped up. His body flipped several times in midair. The sickle in his hand was like a wheel, rapidly rolling towards Yan Li.
He was clearly used to working with the person wielding the spear. When the flying sickle attacked from midair, the spear would attack from below. Many cultivators who were stronger than them had fallen at their hands like this.
The person wielding the spear suddenly ran to the side of Yan Li. Just as he was about to make a move, Yan Li suddenly disappeared.
Startled, he quickly turned his head and looked around.
"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly hearing a voice from behind him, he turned around in fear and saw Yan Li looking at him with a faint smile.
Suddenly, he felt a pain on his back and his consciousness sank into darkness.
The flying sickle missed. Just as he was feeling dazed, he realized that his comrade was already dead. He didn't have time to feel fear and rushed over in anger.
Only halfway through did he realize that without overwhelming strength, would he be able to achieve this?
Just as he thought of this, he felt a pain in his throat. Before his consciousness sank into darkness, he saw the back of Yan Li drawing his sword and rushing towards the remaining five people. He also saw his own blood splattering across the sky.
The remaining five people had just gotten into position. They were used to forming a circle and not giving their prey a chance to escape.
Yan Li's figure was like a ghost. After a few flashes, four more people fell down. Only the cloaked man, who had given the order, was left. He finally realized that Yan Li was not a fat sheep, but a fiend. He dodged a sword attack at the critical moment, and then ran away with all his strength.
Before he could run two steps, he saw Yan Li appear in front of him like a will-o '-the-wisp. Extreme fear made his legs weak and he fell to the ground. "Don't, don't … don't kill me …"
Yan Li walked over and picked him up. He hung him on a tree trunk and said calmly, "What happened to Zhang Biao's family?"
"They … they moved away … moved away …" the cloaked person stuttered.
"Did they move away, or were they killed by you and took all their belongings?" Yan Li asked.
The cloaked person's face turned pale. "Moved, moved away …"
Yan Li smiled and said, "Zhang Biao was a rich man. He moved his entire family. You only needed to ambush him halfway and no one would know. Don't be so afraid. I'm not Zhang Biao's relative, nor am I his friend. I've never thought of helping him. But, if you've already done something to Old Man Wang and his daughter, then it's a different story … "
"No, no, no, no!" The cloaked person thought that there was hope of survival. He quickly said, "I swear, I really didn't touch that father and daughter. After killing Zhang Biao, we followed you all the way. There was no time to go back. You have to believe me …"
"Okay, I believe you." Yan Li smiled warmly.
"Thank you, thank you …" The cloaked person was overjoyed.
Yan Li took out the Dragon God Ring from his chest and smiled. "One last question. You're here for this?"
The cloaked person was dazed. Without thinking, he said, "Yes, we found it glowing in the dark. It looks inconspicuous, but it's a treasure …" His voice trailed off.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest. "You … didn't … say …"
Yan Li pulled out the Leaving Cliff Sword and shook off the blood on it. He slowly returned it to its scabbard. "You discovered a secret that you shouldn't have."
The cloaked person only knew that the Dragon God Ring had glowed, but he hadn't discovered the real problem.
However, Yan Li wasn't willing to take the risk. He would rather kill a thousand innocents than let go of any possibility of the Dragon God Ring being exposed. He knew too little about the Jambu Realm. Perhaps the Dragon God Ring was a treasure that everyone knew. If news of it leaked, he would be in big trouble.
Next, it was time to count the spoils of war.
He didn't have much Yuan Qi left. In this Specter Forest, he didn't have much.
He quickly searched the corpses. In the end, he found more than 800 taels of Heaven Mystic Stones, 12 taels of Shadowless Starthread, and other miscellaneous items. This group of people was really poor.
Zhang Biao's net worth must have taken up more than half of these items. He understood the income of an employee. Old Wang's net worth was quite high among the commoners.
Now he knew the ratio of the currency. 100 taels of Heaven Mystic Stones was equal to one Shadowless Starthread, and 100 taels of Shadowless Starthread was equal to one spirit stone. For an ordinary family like the Wang family, spirit stones and above were considered legends. Therefore, they only knew that there were more valuable items, but they weren't clear about the specifics.
Looking at the ratio, since the spirit stone was a standard unit of currency, it should be more common than in the Divine Continent. Perhaps it was because of hunting grounds. However, these bandits who disguised themselves as Obeisance Sect disciples didn't even have treasured treasures even though they were third-grade martial artists. This could only mean one thing: cultivation resources were in the hands of a few people.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he fed all the Heaven Mystic Stones to the Dragon God Ring and converted them into Vitality. On one hand, it was a waste of energy, and on the other hand, it allowed him to recover a little more Vitality, which would increase his chances of survival at a critical moment.
He kept the Starthread close to his body, just in case.
With more than 800 taels of Heaven Mystic Stones, he had recovered about 50% of his Vitality, which was equivalent to his expectations.
If Vitality was a unit of measurement, and one unit was one tael of Heaven Mystic Stones, then his Vitality was more than 1,600 units. The star energy contained in the Starthread was ten times that of the Heaven Mystic Stones, which was ten units, but its value was a hundred times higher.
Of course, this was based on the amount of energy. The Starthread and the irreplaceable functions of the Heaven Mystic Stones were another matter.
From the perspective of the amount of energy, it seemed more worthwhile to exchange the Starthread for Heaven Mystic Stones, but this involved the most precious time. Now, 800 taels was nothing, but what about 888, 800,000, or even eight million in the future?
With everything ready, he set off again.
In the next hour or so, other than the will-o '-the-wisps floating around, he didn't encounter anything else.
After grasping the trajectory of the will-o '-the-wisps, killing them was effortless. Unfortunately, after killing more than 100 of them, the spoils of war were only two taels of Heaven Mystic Stones. There were no Starthread or other treasures, so he might as well kill them and rob them.
It seemed like these will-o '-the-wisps were the lowest level Starfall Beasts in the Jambu Realm.
After crossing a shallow stream, the temperature dropped significantly, and a gloomy fog floated over from an unknown place.
Yan Li smelled something unusual and immediately slowed down, his hand on the hilt of his sword.
At this time, an orange will-o '-the-wisp leisurely pierced through the fog and floated past his eyes, as if it hadn't noticed him.
This was the first time Yan Li had seen such a leisurely will-o '-the-wisp, as if it was on a vacation. However, this was the first time he had seen a will-o '-the-wisp of this color. It didn't look that scary, and it didn't take much effort anyway. He pulled out the Leaving Cliff Sword and casually slashed it.
The sword hummed lightly, and the blade swept through the void, drawing a perfect arc.
"Huh?"
Such a perfect strike had actually missed. Yan Li was in disbelief.
He swung the sword again, but missed again.
But this time, he saw it clearly. The orange will-o '-the-wisp had moved at high speed in the nick of time.
Faced with Yan Li's continuous attacks, the will-o '-the-wisp seemed to be enraged, and suddenly grew a head.
Yan Li was stunned and realized that it was the head of a worm. Or rather, it was a worm. More accurately, it was a Tiger Head Bee with an especially large head. When it turned around, it revealed a pair of rapidly fluttering transparent wings, and the orange firelight came from its abdomen. Under the cover of the fog, it was confused with the will-o '-the-wisp.
Weng!
He heard the sound of the air vibrating. The will-o '-the-wisp flashed, and the Tiger Head Bee pounced.
Yan Li was dazzled, and he seemed to see the stinger on its tail.
He raised the Leaving Cliff Sword horizontally, and suddenly slashed sideways.
This was all based on his judgment.
Chi!
With a muffled sound, the Tiger Head Bee's body was cut in half, and it fell to the ground. It trembled a few times before it stopped moving.
Yan Li could clearly see that the stinger was as thick as a chopstick. If he was stung, he would probably lose half his life.
