"Are you sure that by waiting here, you can wait for the thief to deliver the Moon Soul Essence to you?"
At a tea stall near the city gates, Lianhai Changjin picked up her teacup and put it down. "If you fail, you won't be offending Liu Zhongtang, but the Crown Prince's faction. If you're labeled as an accomplice, you'll be even worse. That's completely different from your grudge with the Lone Eagle."
"Does it matter?" Yan Li said mildly.
"Does it matter?" Lianhai Changjin asked.
"I can't deal with the Lone Eagle or the Crown Prince's faction right now." Yan Li said mildly. "The sky is falling. Why do you care about which part is lighter, so that the corpse can be preserved better? I don't care if I can find the Moon Soul Essence. I just want to find what belongs to me. "
"What belongs to you?" Lianhai Changjin asked.
"Yes," Yan Li said.
"Qiankun Pouch!" Lianhai Changjin suddenly understood. She stared at Yan Li. "You've crossed paths with the Civet Nine Steps!"
"You're getting smarter." Yan Li teased in a relaxed tone. "Looks like accidentally entering the Jambu Realm was a good thing for you."
Lianhai Changjin said, "If you've crossed paths with the Civet Nine Steps, why don't you go find them directly?"
"I just said that you're smart." Yan Li sighed. "How can I be so sure without evidence? Besides, I might not be a match for them by myself. "
"Them?" Lianhai Changjin said keenly. "There's more than one person in the Civet Nine Steps?"
"Probably," Yan Li said mildly. "And they don't take me seriously."
Lianhai Changjin smiled and waved her jade fan. "You should know that reputation is just a worldly possession. What people value is what you possess."
Yan Li raised an eyebrow. He was about to retort when he felt the ground shake violently. He turned to look at the city and saw a huge object that had overturned countless houses and pavilions as it soared into the sky.
At first glance, he thought it was a huge dragon. On second look, it had no head or tail, and both ends were cylindrical. It looked like a giant earthworm that had been cut in half, wriggling in the air before flying in a certain direction.
Not just Yan Li and Lianhai Changjin, but even those from the Dragon Emperor Residence who were preparing to attack the secret passage were shocked.
"So this is the ancestor..." Yan Li murmured.
"Brother Yan, you recognize this item?" Lianhai Changjin finally recovered from his shock. Under the Wind Cave Abode, there was actually such a monster hidden under Jixia Academy's nose. How could they not be shocked?
"No." Yan Li Lianhai Changjin shook.
"Then how do you know it...."
Before Lianhai Changjin could finish, Yan Li's face suddenly changed, "Oh no!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already dashed out of the tea stall and was dashing towards the outskirts of the city.
"Brother Yan!" Lian Hai Changjin hurriedly chased after him. "What happened? "Yan!"
The two Cultivation stage experts rushed at full speed, disregarding the consumption of their inner Qi. They were many times faster than carriages and approached the city gates in a few breaths.
Lianhai Changjin immediately sensed something was wrong. The other carriages had stopped due to the strange noise and were still in a daze. Only one of them charged out of the city as if it was rushing to reincarnate.
At this moment, even Hai Zhangjin immediately sensed that something was amiss. The other carriages had all stopped in their tracks due to the strange commotion and were still in a state of shock. Only one of the carriages dashed out of the city as if it was rushing to reincarnate.
He leaped into the air and used both his hands and feet to stick close to the door. He passed through the city gates and with a jerk of his arm, the sword in his sleeve unsheathed. Several sword lights shot out like mercury. Yan Li also saw it. He leaped into the air, using both his hands and feet, he stuck close to the door and passed through the city gate. With a shake of his arm, the sword in his sleeve flew out. A cold light burst forth, and a few sword lights shot out like mercury.
The carriage did not stop. After charging out of the city gates, it seemed to discover someone was chasing it. A transparent Law Domain suddenly rose from it, dispersing Yan Li's sword lights.
Without Li Ya, ordinary methods were useless against a pure Law Domain expert.
Lianhai Changjin had already moved forward before the sword lights shot out. His movement technique was as fast as a phantom, catching up to the carriage before the Law Domain could form.
He suddenly turned around and waved his folding fan. The neighing of the horses came to an abrupt stop and the carriage strangely came to a stop.
It did not come to a slow stop but suddenly came to a complete stop, as if time and space had frozen.
"Brother Yan!"
The corners of Yan Li's mouth rose when he heard Lianhai Changjin's shout. He loosened his wrist and the cyan-steel sword shot out like a bolt of lightning. At the same time, he formed a sword with his fingers and quickly caught up to the cyan-steel sword. Every time his fingers slashed through the air, he executed a sword art.
By the time the cyan-steel sword came into contact with the transparent Law Domain, dozens of sword arts had already smashed into it.
Amidst the continuous explosions, the transparent Law Domain began to shake unstably.
The cyan-steel sword took advantage of the unstable shaking to pass through a gap in the Law Domain.
With a loud crack, the carriage immediately shattered and the transparent Law Domain disappeared. Two cries of pain were heard as two people fell from the carriage.
Lianhai Changjin withdrew his magical powers. The horse neighed as before and raised its front hooves, forcefully stopping its momentum. He looked closely and could not help but gasp in shock. "Mr, old mister Wang?"
The younger of the two looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. After crying out in pain, he helped the older one up. "Father, are, are you alright?"
The two were Wang Hui and his son.
"Brother Yan, are you mistaken?" Lianhai Changjin frowned slightly as he transmitted his voice to Yan Li. "I've checked on these two. There's nothing wrong with them. They can't be a treasure thief!"
"Brother, brother Yan, Lord Lianhai …" Wang Hui looked very surprised. Soon after, he smiled bitterly and said, "Did this old man's carriage do something wrong to the two of you …"
"Yan Li, what are you trying to do?" Wang Xiaochuan pointed at Yan Li angrily. Of course, his words were still leaky and could not be heard clearly.
Yan Li smiled faintly. "Hunting chief Wang, didn't you say you weren't planning to leave the Wind Cave Residence?"
Wang Hui smiled bitterly. "I've carefully considered brother Yan's suggestion. After much consideration, I've finally made up my mind …"
"Is that so? But this direction doesn't seem to lead back to the Wei Kingdom," Yan Li said indifferently.
"Of course I can't go back to the Wei Kingdom." Wang Hui smiled bitterly. "I'm going to find another way to survive."
"Do you know what your biggest flaw is?" Yan Li shook his head.
"Brother Yan, what are you talking about?" Wang Hui asked in confusion.
Yan Li continued, "Your biggest flaw is that you're too perfect. You're too ordinary. No faction would suspect you if your information was placed in front of them. You're really an ordinary cultivator. I didn't understand at first, but I later understood that you weren't pretending or acting. Everything you did in front of me came from your heart. "
