"But Milord," Li Yong suddenly grew worried. "Could he have some sort of trick up his sleeve? Those two should have already completed the initiation. If they join forces, things will become very troublesome. "
Lone Eagle said, "Then let's make things simpler."
"What do you mean?" Li Yong asked.
Lone Eagle smiled, but did not speak.
Li Yong felt a chill in his heart. Lowering his head, he said, "This subordinate will find him and put this dog collar on him."
"It's up to you," Lone Eagle said, then disappeared in a flash.
Li Yong knew that he must be hiding in the shadows, so he did not dare to be negligent. Following the clues, he quickly found Yan Li in an open field.
The so-called open field was a patch of rocky ground without grass. It was not very large, only a few li in circumference.
The rocky ground seemed to be the remains of a stone house that had been built by someone, but had been destroyed over the years.
Yan Li was sitting on a rock on a slightly raised slope. It was unknown how long he had been sitting there.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, a smile on his face. "I knew you were someone."
"You scoundrel, you're still smiling? You've been going around in circles with me for two days. Not only did you waste my time, you even made Lone Eagle suspect you!"
Li Yong walked over to the rock, angrily glaring at Yan Li. "What if the plan fails? If I die here because of you, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
"Li Yong, although you usually talk a lot, you're as venomous as a snake. You won't be as chatty as you are now," Yan Li said lightly.
"Cut the crap!" Li Yong pretended to look around and said, "I know where he is now. If you want to take revenge, show me what you've got!"
Yan Li jumped down from the rock, took out a small jar, and walked over to Li Yong. "This thing is enough to kill him. I'll attract his attention later, and you'll be in charge of the sneak attack."
Li Yong took the jar. Just as he was about to open it, Yan Li warned him, "Don't open it if you don't want to die."
"It's that scary? What is it? " He frowned and put it away. "Then you should at least tell me how to sneak attack. I don't even know what it is."
"Come closer." Yan Li looked around, then beckoned to Li Yong.
Li Yong's eyes flashed and he slowly moved his ear closer. Just as Yan Li opened his mouth, he took out the God Binding Ring at lightning speed and wrapped it around Yan Li's neck.
Yan Li's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated. He then raised his hands and clenched his fists. His expression changed continuously, and the killing intent in his eyes soared. He suddenly tried to pull the collar around his neck, but his palms were numb from the electric shock.
"Li Yong!" he roared.
"Yan Li, a wise man submits to circumstances!" Li Yong laughed sinisterly. "A trifling unaffiliated cultivator like you dares to tempt me into helping you kill someone? And you probably didn't expect that His Excellency could give me even more. He has already agreed to let me be the commander of the Eagle Yamen. "
Yan Li narrowed his eyes. "Do you think he's the kind of person who will keep his promises? He's an ingrate. Not to mention the Imperial Court, I don't even think much of the Second Prince, whom he has already sworn loyalty to. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so obsessed with independence. "
"What do you mean?" Li Yong frowned.
"What do I mean …" Yan Li had only begun when he was interrupted.
"Shut up!" Li Yong laughed coldly. "Have you forgotten the grudge between us? Is this the first day I've met you? If you think I'll believe your nonsense, then you're gravely mistaken! "
"You've made an unwise choice," Yan Li said coldly. "The consequence of asking a tiger for its skin is that not even your bones will be left!"
"This seat didn't expect that not only are you good at winning people's hearts, but you're also good at speaking ill of others behind their backs."
At this moment, Lone Eagle slowly appeared from the void, his expression indifferent. "You killed this seat's best friend, and now you want to collude with this seat's subordinates to kill this seat. What is your heart made of? How can you be so cruel and heartless?"
Anyone in Yan Li's position would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Yan Li himself seemed numb. He said coldly, "You're already in this situation, and you still want to hide your disgusting true face. This behavior in itself is disgusting enough."
Lone Eagle raised his hand and whipped. An invisible force sent Yan Li flying. Seeing Yan Li rolling on the ground like an ordinary person, he laughed. "You're now a cripple. What can you do to this seat?"
Yan Li writhed on the ground in pain. He couldn't get up for a moment. His hand was still trying to untie his collar, but he cried out in pain from the electric shock.
Lone Eagle laughed heartily, then turned to Li Yong. He carefully sized up his terrifying subordinate. Courageous, brave, and ruthless. Every aspect matched the characteristics of a wolfhound. He suddenly felt a little reluctant to kill him.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Li Yong, you've completed your mission very well. Now, I have some things to discuss with Yan Li alone. Leave for now."
This meant that he wanted to spare Li Yong's life.
"Yes!" Li Yong turned and left without another word.
But before he could go far, he suddenly turned and pounced back in Lone Eagle's direction.
"Huh?" Lone Eagle sensed something behind him and quietly unfolded his Law Domain.
A strange look flashed across Li Yong's face. The Curved Serpent Sword had appeared at his waist at some point. He drew it with lightning speed and slashed past Lone Eagle's left ear, colliding with the sword tip that had suddenly appeared in the void.
Ding!
The two swords collided in the void, creating a glaring crack. It was the light produced by the collision of sword light.
"Lord, are you alright?" Li Yong quickly asked.
"I'm fine. You've done very well." Lone Eagle nodded slightly.
Only then did Li Yong look at the owner of the sword. It was indeed Yu Qiuyu. When he suddenly discovered that Yan Li had disappeared, he couldn't help but be taken aback. "Lord, where's Yan Li?"
"He can't escape," Lone Eagle indifferently said. "Stop Yu Jianzi first."
Li Yong looked into the distance, only to discover that Ji Hyun-woon had carried Yan Li away.
"No problem. Go ahead and chase!"
Lone Eagle stepped forward.
Yu Qiuyu drew back his sword and slashed at him, but Li Yong blocked him.
"As expected, you're different after breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm!" Li Yong laughed sinisterly. "But it's enough to deal with you and me. There's no need for Lord to do anything!"
The two began to fight fiercely.
Lone Eagle had already left the battlefield, using his movement technique to chase after them.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, but the distance between the two of them was constantly shrinking.
When Ji Hyun-woon saw that Yan Li was still trying to undo the collar, he couldn't help but say in exasperation, "Don't try anymore. That thing can only be undone by someone with an extremely high cultivation or a master craftsman. You're just wasting your time. You might as well think of something!"
