"Kill?" Yan Li couldn't help but squint. "You've got the wrong person. I'm not a killer."
Xie Yunfeng suddenly smiled mischievously. "I was joking. Did I scare you?"
"Joking?" Yan Li couldn't figure out this person's character.
"Yes, yes!" Xie Yunfeng smiled as if he was cool. "Just now, didn't I look very cold? Didn't I charm a group of women, especially a woman like Yun Yizhu?"
Yan Li's face darkened. "Although I don't know Yun Yizhu, I think you haven't charmed this woman yet. That's the problem."
"What problem?" Xie Yunfeng asked.
"You're unaccountably solicitous," Yan Li said lightly. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Why are you so cautious, Brother Yan? Can't people trust each other more and be more sincere?" Xie Yunfeng said seriously, "I helped you purely because of you, Brother Yan. I didn't do it for a purpose."
"Let's say I believe you," Yan Li said. "Why did you do it?"
"Alas!" Xie Yunfeng sighed. "In fact, I didn't do anything big. I just took out something that you urgently needed and I happened to have. If you have to give me a reason, Brother Yan, just take it as you avenged me once. "
"What do you mean?" Yan Li said.
"Vulture is my enemy," Xie Yunfeng said lightly. "He killed Yun Yizhu's parents, who were my master and mistress."
Yan Li said, "Avenged once means it's not over yet."
"If Vulture died just like that," Xie Yunfeng said, "then my reward to Brother Yan will be more than just this."
"Why won't Vulture die?" Yan Li asked.
"I don't know," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Even the Heavenly Policy Tower doesn't know?" Yan Li asked.
"I don't know whether the Heavenly Policy Tower knows or not. I definitely don't know," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Aren't you a Walker from the Heavenly Measures Tower?" Yan Li asked.
"I am a Walker of the Heavenly Strategies Pavilion, but I am me, and the Heavenly Strategies Pavilion is the Heavenly Strategies Pavilion," said Xie Yunfeng.
"I don't understand." Yan Li was confused.
Xie Yunfeng thought about it and said, "Although I'm working for the Heavenly Measures Pavilion, everything I do is voluntary. The Heavenly Measures Pavilion doesn't have the qualifications to give me orders. In other words, I am free. Regardless of whether I use the identity of a Walker or not, I am still the Cloud Water Pavilion Sword Pavilion Mountain Lord Xie Yunfeng. This applies to everyone in the Heavenly Measures Tower. Even a spy is no exception. "
Yan Li gradually understood. His eyes flickered as he said, "No wonder the Heavenly Measures Tower is so huge. I wonder who created it?"
Xie Yunfeng smiled and said, "Brother Yan, please don't ask this question."
"Why?" Yan Li asked.
"That's because I don't know either," Xie Yunfeng said. "There are many different opinions about who the real founder is. Legends are just legends after all. But someone must know. "
"Who?" Yan Li asked.
"Liumu Bingjian," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Her?" Yan Li asked.
"She has a high opinion of you." Xie Yunfeng smiled and said, "If you ask her, she might be willing to tell you."
"Then tell me what you know," Yan Li said.
Xie Yunfeng was stunned. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm just here to visit a patient. But forget it. I've always been helping others. Ask away. What do you want to know? "
"First, I'm curious about one thing," Yan Li said.
"What is it?" Xie Yunfeng asked.
"Did your Cloud Water Pavilion offend the Fengtian Sect?" Yan Li asked.
"No," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Then why does the Fengtian Sect want to make things difficult for you?" Yan Li asked.
"The Fengtian Sect never knows their motive for killing people." Xie Yunfeng said faintly, "Today, they kill a princess. Tomorrow, they might kill a man carrying dung. The day after, they might target the descendants of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy."
"Have the descendants of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy been killed before?" Yan Li asked.
"Of course!" Xie Yunfeng said, "The Fengtian Sect is even more ferocious in the Immortal World. The Heavenly Strategies Pavilion has a hall in the Immortal World that specializes in dealing with the Fengtian Sect."
"Why not in the Human World?" Yan Li asked.
Xie Yunfeng said meaningfully, "The Heavenly Strategies Pavilion in the Immortal World is completely different from the Heavenly Strategies Pavilion in the Human World. Don't ask me what's different. It's very complicated to explain. If you have the chance to come into contact with it, you'll understand. "
Yan Li took a deep breath and said, "One last question."
"Ask away," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Have you heard of something called the 'Dragon God Ring' in the Heavenly Strategies Pavilion?" Yan Li asked.
"What's that?" Xie Yunfeng said blankly, "I've only heard of the Dragon God Diagram. I've never heard of the Dragon God Ring."
"I don't have any more questions," Yan Li said.
"In that case, take care of yourself. I'll take my leave first." Xie Yunfeng cupped his fists.
"Farewell," Yan Li said.
Xie Yunfeng walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. He turned back and said, "I forgot to tell you something."
"What is it?" Yan Li said.
"Your Hunting Group's target is the Desert King?" Xie Yunfeng said.
"Yes," Yan Li said.
"Your timing isn't good," Xie Yunfeng said.
"Why do you say so?" Yan Li said.
"The enormous sandstorm that occurs once a year, and the Black Dragon King is just around the corner. Most of the cultivators have already found a place to hide, and some have even left the desert," Xie Yunfeng said. "It is truly inappropriate for you to come to the desert at this time."
Yan Li said, "This is not something I can choose."
"It's the sandstorm that's going to kill us." Xie Yunfeng's eyes flickered.
"What else?" Yan Li said.
"Have you heard of the ruins of Lihen Heaven?" Xie Yunfeng said.
"Never heard of it," Yan Li said. "Is it related to Lihen Palace?"
"That's right." Xie Yunfeng said, "Lihen Heaven was a super sect during the Fifteen Kingdoms Period. At its peak, it even established its own Dali Dynasty. Lihen Palace is a symbol of its existence. After the Dali Dynasty was destroyed, Lihen Heaven was also destroyed. The mountain field of Lihen Heaven was hidden in the depths of the Great Desert Plains by the Formation of Lihen Heaven. "
Speaking of this, he walked back to Yan Li and lowered his voice. "Someone has already locked on to the location of the ruins. This time, when the Black Dragon King arrives, he might open the gate of the ruins."
Yan Li was shocked and said, "The value of this information …"
"Of course it can't be measured by value." Xie Yunfeng said calmly, "Any treasure found in there may be fought over by the people outside. So, you'd better not tell anyone. "
"But why do you want to tell me?" Yan Li said.
"Because the people who found it are Vulture and Lotus of the Celestial Sect," Xie Yunfeng said. "You have killed Vulture once, so you are already a friend of the Cloud Pavilion. And because you have killed Vulture once, I have to remind you to be careful. "
"Why?" Yan Li said.
"Because the ruins of Lihen Heaven are very close to your destination," Xie Yunfeng said.
Yan Li said, "When do you plan to leave for Lihen Heaven?"
"Me?" Xie Yunfeng shook his head. "I don't plan to go."
"You don't want to go?" Yan Li was surprised.
Xie Yunfeng said, "My purpose is to record the actions of the Celestial Sect. If I can find some clues, maybe I can find a way to deal with the Celestial Sect."
Yan Li couldn't help but be in awe.
"I've said what I need to say, I'm leaving." Xie Yunfeng turned around and left, leaving Yan Li to see his back.
But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and stared at Yan Li. "Oh yes, remember to return the Snow Mountain Silk to me after you use it. It's very expensive."
Yan Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Two days later, the poison in his body was finally removed, and he got out of the hell of the furnace. After a short rest, he bought a batch of camels from the Wizard of Oz and set out for the depths of the desert.
…
On this night, the hunting group arrived at an abandoned ancient town. Most of the ancient town was buried by the wind and sand. Although the stone plaque on the archway at the entrance of the town was weathered beyond recognition, the words "Immortal Town" were still very conspicuous.
"Find a place to set up camp, and try not to be too far away." Bai Yuge was like the assistant of Ji Hyun-woon, giving the ordinary orders on her behalf.
Of course, cultivators couldn't set up camp like mortals. If they were too close, two different real names would compete for the Qi of Heaven and Earth during cultivation, and it might even lead to a fierce fight.
Cultivators usually wouldn't use their real names to fight with others, because that was the core of cultivation. It involved the soul of the individual, and no one wanted to joke about the soul, which was a hundred times more mysterious than life.
The stars twinkled, but the ground was exceptionally cold.
The night in the desert was as dry and cold as in the hell of ice. It was hard for cultivators to bear, and unless it was necessary, no one wanted to travel at night.
Compared to the stars, the tents of the hunting group were no different from the grains of sand in the desert.
At this moment, a bitter cold wind blew, bringing over a dark cloud.
A bearded old man covered in a gray robe, who was standing on the mud wall and observing the night sky, suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Black Dragon King!"
There were two younger men standing below. Hearing these three words, they couldn't help but slightly change their expressions. "Is it early this year?"
"It should be." The old man jumped down. "Let's go find the Prince."
The three came to the outside of Ji Hyun-woon's tent, explained the situation to Bai Yuge, who was guarding outside, and then entered.
Ji Hyun-woon invited the three to sit, and said, "Is it the Black Dragon King that Hunting Chief Wang said is coming soon?"
"Yes." The old man's surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Hui. Like Ba Jin, he was an experienced hunting chief. Although his strength was weaker, he had ten years of experience in the desert. As the saying went, "Having an old man at home is like having a treasure."
These days, it was all because of his guidance that they could reach the "Immortal Town" in such a short time.
"Maybe it will be early, maybe it won't." Wang Hui's expression was solemn. "But someone has provoked the anger of the desert, and this time it's not normal."
"The people of the desert are not people, where does their anger come from?" Ji Hyun-woon raised his eyebrows. "Don't try to fool Xiao Wang with those mysterious words. Speak human language."
A man beside Wang Hui smiled bitterly. "What Old Wang means is that there are a lot more hunting groups this year than in previous years, and they've caused quite a commotion, which has caused the Black Dragon King to become even more violent."
"Enemy attack!"
At this moment, a sudden shout came from outside.
