Barely surviving a single disaster.
Qin Li let out a sigh of relief, his mood slightly settled.
Before arriving at Kingfisher Villa, he had been confident that he could fearless Nirvana giants with his cards in hand.
However, after seeing the oceanic blood qi, Qin Li’s heart sank, realising that he had far underestimated the fearsomeness of Nirvana cultivators. Ten Hundred Flower Princesses put together wouldn’t be enough to kill the Flame Dragon Elder in a few moves, and even if he sacrificed his Mythical Beast Thunder Sword, it would be impossible for him to defeat this dry, skinny little old man.
“Alright, I’ll send you guys back.”Princess Hundred Flowers greeted, wanting to leave this place of wrongdoing and send Zhao Tian Yu back to safety.
Elder Fire Dragon suddenly said, “Don’t go back, tomorrow is the Ten Kingdoms Group Meeting, you’re at least a senior sister, stay and preside over the ring competition.”
“Obey!”Princess Hundred Flowers was a little reluctant, but it was not good to refuse.
The exchange continued.
A group of princes and nobles were talking and laughing.
Princess Hundred Flowers, as a Wanxiang Master Sister, was naturally courted by a large number of people.
Qin Li and the others were left in the corner as if they were aliens. Of course, there were also many unafraid princes who coveted the Flower Fairy’s beauty and came over to look for a fight.
Xu Hao, on the other hand, was staring at Qin Li closely, a devouring light glowing in his eyes, and even though there was nothing broken, he still felt that there was something odd about Qin Li. The Fourth Prince and him came together, murmuring in low voices, not knowing what plot was brewing.
Suddenly!
A fresh breeze struck.
“You guys, look, the Great Yan Prince has arrived!”
Someone called out, and the cultivators present glanced sideways and probed to watch.
Outside the door walked a tall young man with a face like a crown of jade and a mellow temperament, wearing a clean white robe with a piece of superb warm jade hanging from his waist. This was a handsome and beautiful man, but it was a pity that his face was pale and he had a feminine and powerless air.
Princess Hundred Flowers was flabbergasted and took the initiative to enquire, ”Big brother, didn’t you go to immerse in the Dragon Blood Pool? It’s reasonable to say that your physique would have risen dramatically, so why did it drop instead, could it be that the dark disease has returned.”
Luo Zi Song frowned greatly, Great Yan Crown Prince was not young, a hundred years ago he suddenly contracted a strange cold disease, so he often wore warm jade, although his physique was not as good as it was every day, his cultivation was straight up.
Great Yan Prince Luo Songyi smiled gently: ”The Dragon Blood Pool is pure yang and overbearing, its effectiveness is extraordinary, it has cured my cold sickness. However, I was so happy that I tried to advance to the ninth level of Celestial, and as a result, my breakthrough failed and my physique became even weaker.”
Qin Li’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, it was this guy who had captured the Rain Concubine girls, causing his wife and daughter to go missing, it was not the right time to make a move, he must calm down and wait and see the situation, “Elder, how is the depth of this Great Yan Prince?”
Solitary old devil divine thought transmitting voice, certainty: “This guy is definitely cultivated picking up a kind of magic power, although the strength climbed extremely fast, but the quality of astral qi is refuted, but also corroded by the demonic qi, physical weakness. However, he has already pulled out the hidden dangers, probably in the Dragon’s Blood Pool, washing away the demonic qi.”
Qin Li secretly calculated, Luo Songyi, at the 8th level of Celestial, in a weakened state, if he used his second divine ability, would he be able to cut him down?
At this time.
Elder Fire Dragon opened his mouth to speak:
“Since everyone has arrived, let’s rest individually, the ring competition will begin tomorrow.”
“Farewell, latecomers!”Thousands of young talents left one after another, heading to their respective rooms where they were, recuperating their energy.
“I have already prepared rooms for you all.”Princess Hundred Flowers was very considerate and personally brought Qin Li and the others with her, just because she was afraid that certain miscreants would take advantage of the night and try to move in for the kill.
The few people returned to their rooms.
Everyone was crammed into one room, each sitting at their own end.
It wouldn’t be long until dawn anyway, so there was no need to sleep in separate rooms.
Knock knock knock!
A knock sounded on the door.
Princess Hundred Flowers raised her eyebrows slightly and took the initiative to open the door:
“Big brother, why is it you? It’s so late, is there something going on?”
Luo Songyi stood outside the door and smiled kindly: “Hundred Flowers, I heard that you’ve been promoted to the 9th level of Celestial, I’m very happy as a big brother, can you pass on some experience to me? After all, I have been stuck at this level for thirty years and would like to hear your understanding.”
Princess Hundred Flowers looked at him with an expression of vainly seeking advice, so she couldn’t refuse.
“Why don’t you come in and we’ll chat!”
“Change the place!”
Luo Songyi pointed at the crowded atmosphere in the room.
“Alright, let’s go out and chat.”Princess Hundred Flowers nodded her head.
The two of them left on that note, chatting as they walked, and soon disappeared to the end of the corridor, not knowing where they had gone.
Another moment passed.
Knock knock knock.
The knock on the door sounded once again.
Luo Zisong was a bit puzzled and went forward to open the door.
Outside the door stood an old man in grey, none other than his loyal old servant.
“Uncle Li, why are you here?”Luo Zisong was very pleasantly surprised, Uncle Li was his mother’s servant, and had watched him grow up from a young age as if he was a relative. Since selling the mansion, he had asked Uncle Li to leave to avoid the wind, he never expected to meet again.
Li Bo took out a list: ”This is the person that young master asked me to look for, in Yanjing, there are a total of eight women called Wei Xi, this is their address. I’ll line up a check, none of them are similar to the portrait’s.”
“Many thanks!”Qin Li received the list and had a direction to look for.
“Young Master, I also found this.”
Li Bo takes out a grey vine that carries a special foreign fragrance.
“This smell, could it be ……,” Luo Zisong instantly exploded, fiercely snatching the grey vine and sniffing it hard, his pupils bursting with shocking killing intent.
Dokuro old devil was slightly different: “This is a kind of magic vine, called blood drinking vine, devouring blood and flesh to grow, with intense poison, and can emit a strange fragrance to attract prey, as a matter of fact, it should not appear in this area.”
“Brother Luo, what does this devil vine have to do with you?”Qin Li said curiously.
Luo Zisong took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “When I was very young, our mother was poisoned to death, the murderer’s whereabouts have remained unknown, all I know is that there is a strong poison in the tea, it’s this strange fragrance, it’s practically my nightmare!”
“After so many years have passed, I have been searching for this poison with great effort, hoping to follow the trail and find the murderer to avenge my mother’s death. Uncle Li, quickly tell me, where did this magic vine come from?”
Li Bo answered truthfully, “Just a few hundred miles away, there is a hunting town where many hunters live, and would go into the mountains to hunt for game and sell it to the dignitaries, and that’s where this vine flows from.”
“It seems like I must make a trip to the Hunting Food Town.”Luo Zisong was resolute.
Qin Li blocked, “Brother Luo, there’s something fishy about this, not too early, not too late, but on the eve of your participation in the group meeting, the news of the magic rattan is flowing out, obviously trying to lure you into a trap!”
Luo Zi Song clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, “I also understand the calculations involved, and I also know that it’s the murderer who killed my mother who wants to get me killed. But if I don’t go over to investigate, I might not know who the black hand is for the rest of my life, and that’s something I can’t stand.”
“It seems like I must accompany you on your journey!”It was impossible for Qin Li to see death.
“Brother Qin, I’m too grateful.”Luo Zisong was thrilled with tears, it was the first time he had such a good friend who was worth relying on.
The few people packed up and quickly set off.
Qin Li didn’t look for Princess Hundred Flowers’ help because with her present, the black hand behind the scenes would definitely not dare to venture out.
Not long after, two more black shadows rushed out from Kingfisher Villa, and it was none other than Xu Hao and the Fourth Prince who had been plotting for a long time, leading a group of people to track down Qin Li and the others.
The Fourth Prince sneered, ”Big brother has already lured away Princess Hundred Blossoms, so we can finally strike without fear and slaughter that bastard for good. Otherwise, if he grows up and learns the truth about that year, many people will suffer.”
Xu Hao’s eyes revealed a cold aura, “Wait until we reach Prey Town, then we’ll make our move, where it’s far enough away that even if Princess Hundred Blossoms notices, she won’t be able to rescue her. This time I’m going to thoroughly get to the bottom of them, and remove their heads to sacrifice them to my brother.”
This group of people took advantage of the night and quietly moved extremely fast.
At the same time.
Qin Li and the others were even faster.
“Young Master, up ahead is the Prey Town!”
The crowd looked out, the night was like a curtain, the distant mountains were like a diaper, a small town stood alone amongst the mountains and forests, there was neither any candlelight nor the sound of human traces, the silence was terrifying.
“Although it’s the middle of the night, this town is excessively quiet, it feels like a ghost town.”Luo Zisong’s heart was jittery, his expression was on guard, and when he landed at the entrance of the town, he was startled.
The small town was covered in corpses, all of them were dry and white bones, there were all kinds of ferocious beasts as well as many cultivators, they had died for a long time, emitting a disgusting stench of corpses, mixed with the strange fragrance of magic vines, it was extremely oozing.
“What a ghost town!”Qin Li slurped.
