"Tarot cards." He Yi laughed bitterly and said everything in one breath. Even if he could leave the Hunter's World alive, the only thing waiting for him in the future was the endless trials of the Magic Court.
"There are two forces that want your life: Tarot cards and General Shogun. You should know this better than I do. You've already offended them with the death of the Kuang Tie. This time, Wild Hunt spent a lot of money to buy your life. Not just me, but also Eight Cloud Ruler, Bai Haiting, Bai Yunfei, and a lot of others. The Demonic Removal Spear was given to Bai Yunfei by Wild Hunt. He thought that with Miss Fei, Bai Yunfei would be able to get close to you easily. Who would have thought that this kid would use the Demonic Removal Spear on his own fiancee? Stupid, ridiculous! "
Li Xiang's expression turned cold. No wonder Bai Yunfei had mentioned Wild Hunt before. He had accepted Wild Hunt's benefits and wanted to use the Demonic Removal Spear on him. It was just that he did not expect that this spear would land on Ming Xu by a freak combination of factors.
When Fei Yujing said that Bai Yunfei had used the Demonic Removal Spear to attack her, Li Xiang had thought it was a bit unbelievable.
"He probably couldn't stand Miss Fei's ambiguous relationship with countless elites." He Yi laughed coldly.
Fei Yujing's face turned red. This was related to the future of the Fei family. When she first came to City 0001, she had indeed 'seduced' a lot of people.
"Don't talk nonsense. Keep talking." Li Xiang interrupted him directly. He knew Fei Yujing's situation very well. He also knew what kind of person she was. He Yi's little trick was completely useless.
He Yi saw that Li Xiang wasn't moved, so he could only continue. "My mutation was a gift from the players of Tarot cards. They have the most advanced mutation technology and are much more powerful than ours. The He family wants to enter the ranks of the top families. I want to change my fate, so I can only do this. The condition is to help them get the elementium crystal and the dark creature's horn, and to kill you. "
"A dark creature's horn?"
"That's right. That dark creature is the top giant creature that Duke Siluo captured back then. It's a Dark Chaos Beast. Its horn can be used as a material to cast space magic. It's very precious. If I can get these two things and kill you, the tarot cards will unconditionally support my xenogeneic transformation and give a lot of resources to the He family."
Li Xiang understood, but he was still a little confused. "The tarot cards are against the entire human camp. Aren't you afraid that the He family will be doomed if you help them?"
"Don't joke around, Li Xiang. You have a lot of entanglements with tarot cards, right? Don't tell me you don't know about their existence at all? The Tarot Card's subordinates were all over the human camp, and some of their Great Arcana Card holders were even in the upper echelons of certain organizations. There were no absolute enemies, only absolute benefits. As long as I complete this, the higher-ups will naturally be able to protect the He family, and vice versa. If I fail, the He family will be a classic example of colluding with the tarot cards, and they will die without a burial ground. "
He Yi couldn't stop laughing coldly, but the expression on his face was incomparably sorrowful.
Li Xiang suddenly remembered the airship incident. He heard that Wang Chongyue had survived, which was probably a blessing in disguise. However, those border soldiers had all died in vain.
Originally, the rescue team could have set off a step earlier, but because of the complexity of the human camp, it led to this outcome.
It was glorified as a sacrifice for the human resistance against the disaster.
Thinking of all these, he felt a burst of annoyance. In short, things were more or less clear. Why did He Yi use the Hou City Trial Takers to set him up from the beginning? He would rather take the risk of offending the Dong Ling family to fight for the key.
In his heart, he probably thought that with the help of the Bai family, he only needed to go with the flow to kill him.
However, he didn't expect that in the end, it was him and Ming Xu who ruined his entire plan.
"After coming out of Polar night, I kept reminding myself not to underestimate the two of you, but in the end, I still didn't pay enough attention, hehe." He Yi's expression was sorrowful. He didn't know what would happen to his family after they learned of their failure.
"Li Xiang, give me a quick death." He Yi suddenly looked up at him.
Looking into his eyes, Li Xiang suddenly thought of Ji Xue from a long time ago. That pitiful girl who struggled in the Polar night training camp.
She was like a low-level version of He Yi. She didn't have enough talent, and her family background wasn't good. She hoped to rely on the Kuang Tie to successfully graduate from the Polar night, but in the end, she died because she failed in her choice.
The way she looked at him at that time was similar to the way He Yi looked at him now.
This world was really not tolerant of losers at all.
Fei Yujing shot an icicle into He Yi's mutant heart. After watching him die, she froze his corpse.
"If he's right, then Sister Ming Xu won't be in any danger. Then, what do you plan to do next?" Fei Yujing placed the frozen corpse in the deepest part of the cave. It would take hundreds of years for her ice to melt, so she left He Yi's corpse intact.
"Continue with the plan. Next is the Eight Clouds Ruler." Li Xiang obviously wouldn't stop just because Ming Xu might not be in danger. However, after talking with He Yi, he understood that most of the reason for this matter was because of him. This time, he would make his stance clear.
"But you don't have to participate. I'll go by myself." Li Xiang stood up and tidied up the black box. "He Yi is missing. Soon, people will suspect you. No matter what, you have to go back to the 16th branch family."
"I …" Fei Yujing wanted to say something, but he stopped her.
Looking at Li Xiang's back as he left, she seemed to see the figure who left alone with a backpack.
.....
That night, many hunting groups from the aristocratic families were discussing the same topic.
"So, we can be sure that Li Xiang killed He Yi?" Mu Fan found it hard to believe. At the moment, he was still ranked third. Of the two people above him, one was slowly gaining points, while the other was stagnant.
However, the stagnant second place had almost 10,000 points more than him.
Mu Fan was full of anger. His father, Mu Li, had paid an unimaginable price to delay his participation in the ultimate trial for three years. It wouldn't be surprising if he could win first place, but it would be humiliating if he didn't.
Unless, of course, the one who defeated him was another Bai Dongxue.
However, among the current batch of participants, the most outstanding one was Baimiya. She was still not as good as him.
There were many other participants who had been hiding their strength until now, but none of them was a level-three Magic Apprentice like him.
However, it was already the fourth night. In three days, the ultimate trial would officially end. Mu Fan was still in third place. Because of the attack on Dong Ling and Ming Xu, he had to face Li Xiang's challenge.
If all these things were done by Li Xiang, then he would be the Death God that slaughtered the trial takers. Then he would definitely come looking for Mu Fan in the end. And Mu Fan definitely could not avoid the battle in front of everyone. If he wanted to win, he had to win brilliantly.
However, his mind was full of points. He didn't have time to think about a commoner.
When the news of He Yi's death came, Mu Fan was stunned for several minutes.
Yakumo family camp.
Eight Clouds Ruler was cleaning his Spirit Spear. Last time, he had given up on a group of followers for the sake of Spirit Crystals. Now, he had finally gathered a new group and was ready to fight for the last three days. Then, this kind of news came.
He Yi was dead. Who was next?
Himself, Bai Haiting, or should he just look for Mu Fan?
Was it Li Xiang who had done it? Or was it Baimiya?
He felt countless worries surging into his mind. The most annoying thing was that He Yi's death had shaken the followers he had painstakingly gathered.
No one was willing to follow a leader who could die at any time.
"Damn it, why did things turn out like this?" The more Eight Clouds Ruler thought about it, the more sullen he felt. Originally, he hadn't accepted the Wild Hunt's invitation to act with He Yi and the others. As long as he entered one of the Chronometer Tower Consortium's universities, then Ai Yakumo wouldn't have a chance.
But now, he had to worry all the time like a stray dog.
A voice came from outside the tent.
"Master Ruler, do you want to reinforce the defenses?"
Eight Clouds Ruler shouted impatiently, "Reinforce what? Just a mere Li Xiang and all of you are scared … Hmm? You are! "
