After his companions left, Zhao Li calmly replied, "Who is this friend? Since you've come to find me, why are you hiding?"
"I'm in an alley five miles behind you."
Following the other party's instructions, Zhao Li came to a relatively secluded brick alley with only two or three pedestrians.
"Brother, may I know who you are? I don't recall knowing you." Zhao Li sized up the sallow-faced blue-robed scholar in front of him. He flipped through his memories, but he had no impression of this person.
"It doesn't matter whether you know me or not. What matters is that I know you. It's also fate to meet an old friend of the Plenilune Serpent in this foreign land. Are you a temporary guest of the Yuan Clan, or are you an external guest of the Yuan Clan? "Lu Xiaotian asked.
"What does that have to do with you?" Zhao Li didn't look at him differently just because he was from the Plenilune Serpent. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Lu Xiaotian asked, "Alright, who was the woman in palace attire in the carriage just now?"
"Why should I answer you? What's in it for me? "Zhao Li said with a smile.
"I have a pot of spirit wine here. You can try a small sip to see the effect." Lu Xiaotian smiled faintly and tossed Zhao Li a jug of Drunken Immortal Wine. This Drunken Immortal Wine was a recipe that he had painstakingly obtained from Mo Wen Tian. He had been brewing it since he was at the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. For Golden Elixir realm cultivators, it could quickly restore their spiritual power.
However, he had already successfully formed his Nascent Soul and no longer needed this item. It was most suitable to exchange it with a Jin Dan cultivator like Zhao Li.
Zhao Li took the spirit wine with an uncertain expression. Obviously, he didn't trust Lu Xiaotian's words.
"If I want to kill you, do you think you have the leeway to resist? I want to know about the woman in palace attire. Even if you want to inform the city guards, I have enough time to kill you and leave before the city guards arrive. "
Lu Xiaotian smirked. "I'm giving you the spirit wine because you're also from the Plenilune Serpent. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Zhao Li's expression changed. A faint murderous intent lingered in the surroundings. It wasn't strong, but it couldn't be dispelled. This person was definitely a Nascent Soul cultivator! It was impossible for Jin Dan cultivators to give her so much pressure. However, no matter how hard he racked his brain, Zhao Li could not remember when he had met a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Plenilune Region.
Zhao Li took a sip of spirit wine and a surge of spirit energy rushed into his Dantian, mixing with the Fa Li that was emitting from his Jin Dan. As the Fa Li began to circulate, it began to transform into Fa Li in a breath's time.
"What kind of spirit wine is this? It can actually recover magic power so quickly!" Zhao Li couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Answer my question."
"That woman is Prince Xuan, Xiang Yihang's favorite concubine, Yuchi Yu. He's also a Nascent Soul Ancestor. As for why he's involved with the Yuan Clan, it's not something I can understand. "Zhao Li replied.
"Yuchi Yu! Xuan Wangfei. " A thoughtful look flashed through Lu Xiaotian's eyes. Wasn't Xiang Yihang the Nascent Soul middle stage cultivator that he had killed? Who would have thought that he was also a Prince from the Xiang Country. As for the woman in palace attire, she was actually a Wangfei.
"You and I know what happened today." Before Zhao Li could react, the sallow-faced scholar had already disappeared from his sight.
"He really is a Nascent Soul cultivator, but I don't know what kind of entanglement he has with Yuchi Yu."
Zhao Li carefully put away the pot of spirit wine. This kind of spirit wine was not ordinary goods that could be found in restaurants. It was extremely rare to see such a precious item even in an auction. The other party had only asked her this question and gave her a pot of spirit wine. It seemed that he had no ill intentions.
"Now that I know the identity of this woman, this trip was not in vain." Lu Xiaotian revealed a rare smile. The enemy was in the open, while he was in the dark. Since he knew the other party's identity, it would be much easier to act later.
Several days later, it was nightfall and various spirit beasts were flying in the sky from time to time. Lu Xiaotian saw that among the numerous spirit lights, there was a rather luxurious one. It was Yuchi Yu's carriage that had left the Yuan Family's territory and was heading north.
On top of an unknown hill, a young scholar with a sallow-faced stood with his head raised. After the carriage disappeared, the young scholar's figure moved. Although the other party had left his field of vision, the distance was not far. Even without using the little white dog, Lu Xiaotian was able to track it down just by relying on the fluctuations of spirit energy left in the air.
After chasing for several days, they arrived at a desolate place in the wilderness. A carriage with three ninth-grade spirit storks stopped in the middle of the wilderness, scaring away the nearby birds and beasts.
Yuchi Yu saw a ray of starlight on the horizon. With a wave of her sleeve, she floated up from the carriage. "You guys, wait here quietly and wait for this Wangfei to return."
"Yes, Wangfei Xuan!" The three pretty maids bowed and nodded.
Yuchi Yu got down from the carriage and left.
A moment later, in a small forest not far from the carriage, a young scholar with a sallow complexion appeared.
"What does that ray of starlight mean?" This person was Lu Xiaotian, who had followed her all the way from Qingding City for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Without the time to care so much, Lu Xiaotian followed the faint aura that Yuchi Yu had left in the air and flew all the way. Yuchi Yu was also a Nascent Soul expert, so following this person was much more troublesome than following the luxurious carriage.
"There's another person?" Not long after, Lu Xiaotian discovered that there was actually a hidden manor in this desolate area. When he carefully sneaked into the manor, he discovered that under the hazy moonlight, under the lush locust tree, there was a tall man in black who wore a black iron mask. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time.
"Greetings, Emissary!" What happened next made Lu Xiaotian even more surprised. Yuchi Yu, who was supposed to be Wangfei Xuan, actually knelt down on one knee and saluted the black-clothed man.
As a Wangfei, what kind of identity could make Yuchi Yu kneel down on one knee? Moreover, she herself was a Nascent Soul expert, so her methods were not weak. Even if she met a Grand Cultivator, there was no need for her to be so humble. At this time, the Xiang Country's emperor was only at the Jin Dan stage. His cultivation was even inferior to some of the princes.
Like other Xiuxian countries, Nascent Soul experts spent too much time in seclusion, so they were not suitable to govern. The lifespan of Foundation Establishment cultivators was too short, so frequently changing kings was not a blessing for the country. Therefore, Jin Dan cultivators were the best candidates for governing.
This Prince Xuan Xiang Yihang, as a Nascent Soul expert, was of the same generation as the current emperor. It was just that his cultivation talent was far greater than the emperor's.
There was no need to say more about the seniority of Wangfei Xuan.
"Could he be the person behind the Mo Wei Star Chart? He was also called the Emissary by Yuchi Yu. "Lu Xiaotian's mind flashed with a light. It seemed that the Mo Wei Star Chart was indeed somewhat secretive.
"Yuji, you entered the secret realm together with Xiang Yihang, but only you came back. Is Xiang Yihang already dead?" The black-clothed man said in a condescending tone.
