"Liu Zhenren, you … are really shameless …"
Lu Linglong fell to the ground less than two meters away from Liu Xiaojiang. She wanted to get up, but she found that she could not muster the strength to do so.
The Hidden Lightning that Liu Xiaojiang had set up around him this time was obviously more inclined to the Yin Lightning's ability to corrupt the heart and erode the will. Even though the external injuries caused to Lu Linglong were not as bad as before, the Yin Lightning's hidden effect had still successfully corroded her body.
Yin Lightning, Visceral Water …
If it were any other ordinary mutant sect, when faced with the extremely sinister Visceral Water Lightning, they would either use their powerful cultivation to resist it or carefully avoid it so that they would not be easily hit by the Leifa.
Otherwise, after being hit by the Hidden Lightning for the first time, ordinary mutants would have completely lost the ability to resist.
Lu Linglong was able to force Liu Xiaojiang to choose to strengthen the Yin Lightning's nature even though her cultivation was not as good as Liu Xiaojiang's. This was enough to prove the extraordinariness of the Quanzhen Sect's elixir technique.
To be honest, if it were not for the difference in cultivation …
Liu Xiaojiang would even doubt whether something like the Visceral Water Lightning could affect people who practiced the Quanzhen Elixir Technique.
The Quanzhen Sect's cultivation method, which pursued the ultimate physical and spiritual strength, could indeed be considered quite pure compared to the Zhengyi Sect's cultivation method.
Unfortunately, when fighting with others, the Quanzhen Sect's disciples, who had not yet mastered the elixir technique, could use too few methods. They were more inclined to the martial arts of their fists and feet …
As for Chuyang Shen …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Lu Linglong, who was struggling to get up from the ground, and smiled.
"Linglong, it seems that you still have a long way to go. Whether it's cultivation or mentality, the current you … are too weak."
"However, you didn't say that I was despicable. You only said that I was shameless for deceiving you. Your attitude is still correct."
When fighting with others, the winner decided everything. Naturally, there was no such thing as being despicable or not. As long as one could win, everything was fine.
Even if Lu Linglong had not experienced wind and rain, she still seemed to be very clear about this point. She would not scold Liu Xiaojiang for being despicable because of his' methods'.
As for being shameless …
From the perspective of a friend, Lu Linglong criticized Liu Xiaojiang for deceiving her shamelessly … After all, this was only a 'simulated' battle.
Liu Xiaojiang understood what Lu Linglong was thinking. Naturally, he didn't want to refute her and confirmed his shameless behavior this time.
"I refuse to accept this …" Lu Linglong stood up from the ground with great difficulty. Her dark little face was still filled with stubbornness.
"Forget it." Liu Xiaojiang sat on the ground and supported his chin with his hand. He looked at Lu Linglong, who took a long time to even get up.
"Lass, you can't even stand properly. So what if you don't want to admit defeat? You've already lost … That's the truth."
Speaking up to this point, he glanced at Lu Lin, who was standing not far to his left, and discovered that her injuries had healed quite a bit. She didn't even look like she was affected by the Five Yin Thunder.
Thus, he said, "If I were you, I'd place all my hopes on my cousin. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to provide him with help, but I'll also be a hindrance to him."
"However, even if everything is reasonable, it's still unreasonable to want to win against me. Besides, there's only one left of the two …"
"Liu Zhenren, why aren't you willing to understand us?" Lu Lin glanced at Lu Linglong, who couldn't even stand properly. Then, she looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a serious expression and said,
"Linglong and I only want to investigate the matter of Rootless Life. We don't want to investigate other things that have nothing to do with our Lu family. We don't have to personally investigate what happened back then."
"Besides, there's no news of Rootless Life now. We don't know whether he's dead or alive. If he's dead, as long as we can find evidence of his death, we can also solve the knot that has puzzled me for many years."
"Could it be …"
Speaking of this, Lu Lin suddenly thought of something. She looked at Liu Xiaojiang in disbelief and said,
"Is Rootless Life really not dead?"
As soon as he said that,
Lu Linglong's little face also showed a trace of doubt. She looked at Liu Xiaojiang with the same look of disbelief. It was as if the two of them only wanted to confirm Rootless Life's death from the beginning.
"I don't know." Liu Xiaojiang finally decided not to deceive the Lu family, who were still on good terms with him, about Rootless Life.
"Rootless Life is already dead. This is a fact that most people believe, but there's no evidence to prove it. So, from a purely rational point of view, there's indeed a possibility that Rootless Life is still alive, but the possibility is not big …"
"After all, there are only tens of thousands of people in the Inhuman circle. It's very difficult to completely hide, let alone Rootless Life, who has a 'bad reputation' and is heavily involved in many things."
"Moreover …"
"Even if he's still alive and has successfully hidden himself, a guy who has endured decades of no contact with anyone, who definitely doesn't want to appear in the eyes of others … Can we find him?"
Liu Xiaojiang had investigated many things during this period of time, and in the end, most of them were related to Rootless Life.
Moreover, because of Shuangquan's whereabouts, he actually wanted to find Rootless Life more than the Lu family.
But as he learned more and more things, and the more the clues he found pointed to Rootless Life, the more he felt that Rootless Life might have achieved his goal back then, no matter what his goal was.
No …
Did Rootless Life have a goal in the beginning?
Based on Mei Jinfeng's description of some of the things that happened back then, Liu Xiaojiang felt that before Rootless Life really changed, although he was also a troublemaker who took the initiative to go to the Trinity Sect for the sake of integrity, he would not have single-handedly led to the birth of the Eight Strange Skills, which was a chaotic technique.
This could be seen from Rootless Life's actions in the Qinling Mountains back then, as well as his attitude towards Taoist Zi Yang's legacies … At the very least, he did not want the world to fall into chaos because of the Inhumans.
Therefore, the real problem back then was not Rootless Life in the beginning. Instead, it was Rootless Life who changed for some unknown reason, becoming sworn brothers with 35 people, and personally causing a series of disturbances.
The 'Fourth Brother' that Zhang Huaiyi mentioned had his own true goal, and that was the source of all the chaos back then!
What exactly caused Rootless Life to be so contradictory?
What made Rootless Life disregard the stability of the world and insist on bringing about the birth of the Eight Strange Skills?
How could Rootless Life not have thought that the Eight Strange Skills would definitely cause other Inhumans in the world to covet them, thus causing the Inhuman circle to fall into chaos?
How could a person who could think of all the possibilities and had the brains to become the leader of Holistic Life … disappear without a trace after successfully causing chaos and before he achieved his true goal?
That was impossible.
Rootless Life was not a person who would not commit any crime in the truest sense of the word.
In fact, the truth was the exact opposite. Back then, Holistic Life began to restrain because of him. No matter how other Inhumans saw it, at least in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes, Rootless Life was clearly in control of Holistic Life's influence on the world!
On the other side …
When Lu Lin heard Liu Xiaojiang's explanation, she obviously still couldn't understand. "Then why didn't you …"
"I understand and believe that you only want to investigate Rootless Life's death and solve the knot in Old Master Lu's heart for many years." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and interrupted.
"However, I don't believe that it's enough. After all, you aren't Old Master Lu himself. You don't have a certain personality and strength to persuade others. It's also not enough to make others believe that the two of you really don't have any other motives."
"The matter of Rootless Life involves too many things. Everything can attract the attention of many people, and the most important thing … is still those so-called Eight Strange Skills."
As soon as he finished speaking …
Liu Xiaojiang saw that Lu Lin's three layers of inverse life were slowly dissipating. He knew that the time that her cultivation could last was up, so he slowly stood up from the ground.
"The effect of the Yin Thunder will disappear soon. In about an hour or two, Linglong will be able to move normally."
"You've already lost. Hurry up and go back after adjusting. Don't cause trouble for everyone here."
"If you still want to continue investigating Rootless Life, continue to follow behind Zhang Chulan and Feng Bao Bao …"
At this point, he took out his phone from his pocket and gestured to his ear.
"I'll get Old Master Lu to come and pick you up personally. Don't blame me then. After all, I've already given you a chance just now."
..
A moment later …
Liu Xiaojiang left the Lu siblings on the cliff to adjust their breathing. He returned to the entrance of the company's abandoned bunker base alone, only to find that everyone present was looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Hmm? Is there something on my face? "
"That's not it." Wang Zhenqiu looked at the guys around him who didn't intend to speak. He could only shake his head helplessly and say,
"However, you can't be ruthless, right? That girl was screaming very loudly just now."
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
Hei Guan looked at Wang Zhenqiu in surprise, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just smiled ambiguously. Apparently, he also noticed that Wang Zhenqiu seemed to be paying more attention to Liu Xiaojiang recently.
When Xiao Zizai heard what Wang Zhenqiu said, he looked at Liu Xiaojiang with some curiosity. He seemed to be curious about what the two juniors of the Lu family did to provoke Liu Xiaojiang to choose to be ruthless to them.
Old Meng couldn't help but worry, "Xiao Jiang, don't be silent. Dealing with the Lu family is not a trivial matter …"
"By the way …" Liu Xiaojiang walked to the place where everyone put their luggage and food, took out a bottle of sweetener from his bag, and said,
"In your eyes, do I really like to fight with others that much? I'm not Brother Xiao …"
"…" Xiao Zizai.
"Ah, I didn't mean that. It's just a metaphor … It's just a metaphor. Don't take it to heart."
When Liu Xiaojiang saw Xiao Zizai looking at him with a grumbling face, he immediately took out another bottle of drink from his bag and walked over apologetically. He personally handed the drink to Xiao Zizai and said,
"Zhang Chulan must have told you that those two guys are indeed from the Lu family. One of them is the apple of Mr. Lu's eye. During the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, we all drank together. We can be considered old acquaintances. How could I possibly be ruthless to them?"
"Oh, you're afraid that Mr. Lu will make trouble for you, right?" Wang Zhenqiu smiled disapprovingly, then winked and said,
"I heard that Mr. Lu admires you very much. Even when you were expelled from Tenshi Province, Mr. Lu once spoke up for you. He also said that the door of the Lu family is always open to you."
"Besides, you're studying Five Yin Thunder in Tenshi Province. Don't tell me you're interested in his granddaughter. That scream just now …"
"Pfft!!!"
Liu Xiaojiang was more than a meter away from Wang Zhenqiu, but he still accurately hit Wang Zhenqiu's smiling face with a mouthful of soda. He then wiped his mouth unhurriedly, tightened the cap of the soda, and said,
"It's nothing. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We just want to compare notes and see how much each other has improved."
"But I have to say that Linglong can be considered very serious in her cultivation. It's only been a few months since we last saw each other, and she can already take a few more Leifa. Both of them are really good at taking a beating."
"…" Zhang Chulan.
"…" Hei Guan.
"…" Xiao Zizai.
"…" Old Meng.
"???" Feng Bao Bao. "…"
"Straight man!"
Wang Zhenqiu ran to his backpack and quickly took out a bottle of mineral water to wash his face. Then, he wiped his face with a towel that he had already prepared and walked back with a hateful expression.
"You're definitely a straight man. She came all the way here. Even if it's because of the news spread by the company, it's impossible for her to come here just to compare notes with you. You actually don't know how to be protective of the fairer sex and beat her up!"
"Serves you right for Five Yin Thunder. Serves you right for leaking your primordial yang. You're still a single dog!"
Hearing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang's eyelids twitched. He immediately unscrewed the cap and took another mouthful of soda that was high in sugar. It was obvious that he wanted to give Wang Zhenqiu, a guy with disheveled hair, to use the sugar to create that kind of sticky and sloppy style.
Seeing this..,
Wang Zhenqiu was already prepared. He immediately jumped behind Xiao Zizai and hid behind the merciful Buddhist disciple. He said pitifully,
"Brother Xiao, look at him. He can't win against me, so he started to play with me. To think that Master Jie Kong told you to learn more from the people of Tenshi Province. You mustn't be like this guy … He's not a thing!"
Although he said that and made a fuss, he hid behind Xiao Zizai from the beginning to the end. He didn't dare to show his head under Liu Xiaojiang's soda at all. He undoubtedly regarded Xiao Zizai as his last resort.
However..,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't even think about it when he saw this. He directly swallowed the soda in his mouth and pretended that he didn't intend to teach Wang Zhenqiu a lesson. Suddenly, he opened his mouth to talk about business.
"Everyone, it's been a few hours since early morning. The news that the company spread clearly said that it was ten o 'clock in the morning, which was the time when those root tools would be executed. In the end, there wasn't even a shadow of a person … what should we say next?"
Liu Xiaojiang's actions directly made Wang Zhenqiu look like a fool.
Other than Feng Bao, almost everyone present noticed that Liu Xiaojiang and Wang Zhenqiu didn't like each other. They were only willing to 'face' each other's love and hate, but they also had a bottom line.
Especially when they saw that the person who provoked them first always lost in the end, everyone let down their guard. When they laughed, there wasn't the slightest bit of alienation, as if they were all friends who could trust each other.
Sincerity.
