He Jianhua was not stupid, and nodded and said: "Yes, it has been three or four days since we got this talisman. There has been no movement before. Just now, it suddenly shone brightly, leading us here. That is to say, the Blood-Reverse Sword had been there before.
I haven’t shown up yet, but today I showed up.”
Li Lifeng was shocked when he heard this. He stamped his feet repeatedly and secretly shouted that he was too careless.
According to what the two said, it was he who had just taken out the Blood-Reverse Sword to "appreciate" it, and that was how he attracted the two of them!
He also didn't expect that Chu Jingtian had such abilities. He actually had such a tracking charm and could track it out just by relying on his momentum. It was really amazing.
Xuanming Sect is indeed a great martial arts sect, and the inner sect is full of talents, with no shortage of methods!
Fortunately, this talisman can only detect momentum within ten miles, and it also requires the Blood-Reverse Sword to show up - Li Lifeng was determined not to take out the Blood-Reverse Sword if nothing else happened.
The problem now is that He Jianhua and Li Tao have finally arrived here. With their fear of Chu Jingtian, they will definitely not dare to deal with it, and they will definitely search the surrounding area to find anything suspicious.
If they found out that they happened to appear here, and then thought of the conflict between him and Xu Jie, it would be difficult for them not to think about the worst.
Li Lifeng couldn't help but become anxious and thought of countermeasures.
The best way is to kill and silence!
By killing these two people, Chu Jingtian lost two eyes and ears.
However, the biggest problem is that while killing them, they must be secretive and not make too much noise. Obviously, this Wandong Mountain is not the best place.
Thinking of this, Li Lifeng gradually pondered.
At this time, Li Tao outside spoke again: "Old He, since the talisman has led us here, even if there is no movement, the Anti-Blood Sword should be nearby. Why don't you and I search separately to see if there is anything suspicious?
person."
"But there is only one talisman. If we are separated, even if one person appears with the Blood-Reverse Sword, there is no way to know." He Jianhua was a little reluctant.
Li Tao smiled: "Old He, it's best if this tracking charm is in my hand."
"Why?"
"Think about it, Senior Brother Xu was at the fourth level of Ning Yuan and he was killed by someone and snatched the Blood-reverse Sword. You only have the cultivation level of the third level of Ning Yuan. If the talisman is in your hand and you meet the murderer, there will be movement on the talisman.
, if that person is suspicious of you, he will attack first, can you beat him? I don’t want you to waste your life, it’s better to be in my hands. If you find that person, my cultivation level is higher than yours, so I can still entangle you for a while.”
Upon hearing this, He Jianhua believed that the other party's analysis was reasonable and no longer forced it.
Li Tao added: "If there is no objection, Lao He, let's work separately. Based on this, you will go west to investigate, and I will go east. We will meet here in half an hour. Remember, don't rush in.
No one knows whether there are high-level warriors in the cave here, so don’t anger them.”
"Got it." He Jianhua responded, whirring a few times, and heard the sound of clothes fluttering, clearly indicating that he was walking far away.
Li Lifeng listened attentively, but Li Tao outside the cave did not leave, but lingered nearby.
Puff puff, a burst of footsteps sounded outside.
After hearing this, Li Lifeng was a little suspicious. This Li Tao...
A sense of alarm arose in my heart, no matter how I thought about it, this Li Tao seemed to be trying to seduce He Jianhua.
If, as he said, he was wary of the murderer, it would be better for the two of them to go together, so as not to scatter their strength. The person who can kill Xu Jie can also kill Li Tao, a warrior of the same level as him.
Now, Li Tao sent He Jianhua away with just a few words. What was his intention?
When he thought of Li Tao holding the tracking charm in his hand, Li Lifeng couldn't feel at ease, fidgeted and became a little anxious.
"Is my intuition wrong, that person is not here?" Before Li Lifeng could make a move, he heard Li Tao muttering outside, "Forget it, let's go look elsewhere."
Creak, creak.
The sound of footsteps trampling on the stone chips and dead branches on the mountain gradually faded away until there was no sound at all.
Gone?
Li Lifeng was a little surprised. He listened carefully and found that apart from the whistling of the mountain wind, there was indeed no strange movement at all.
"If you don't run away now, then when will you wait!" Li Lifeng was overjoyed and was about to collect the spiritual energy formation by the door and run away. Just as he was about to make a move, he stopped and hesitated.
The other party won't play hard to get, right? Play a fishing trick?
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside. Li Lifeng smiled bitterly. He was really nervous and thought the worst about everything.
Taking a breath, Li Lifeng's consciousness gradually became clearer. He thought for a moment, speculated for a while, nodded slightly, and as if he had made up his mind, without hesitation, he put away the hair technique by the door in a few moments.
As soon as he stepped forward, half of his body moved out. As far as he could see, his whole body suddenly froze, with a look of surprise——
Li Tao!
It was none other than Li Tao who he thought had left with his hands raised in front of him!
At this moment, Li Tao had a hint of a smile on his lips. When he saw Li Lifeng, he was slightly surprised, but he quickly covered it up and replaced it with a look of pride.
Li Lifeng took back his steps and retreated step by step into the cave.
Li Tao hesitated for a moment, then gradually followed in. He took a serious look at the cave and found that the structure inside was very simple, so he didn't pay attention to it. He turned to focus on Li Lifeng and smiled: "Junior Brother Li, I really didn't expect that.
It’s you!”
Li Lifeng sighed and said, "I never thought you were so scheming and so patient!"
Sure enough, I was fooled!
Li Tao must have suspected the nearest cave as soon as he arrived here. He suspected that the momentum of the Blood-Reverse Sword was coming from here. Therefore, he strolled outside to chat with He Jianhua, revealed all the information that needed to be revealed, and then left.
He Jianhua just wanted to see if there were any benefits to be gained.
However, he did not dare to rush into the cave suddenly. There was a small spiritual power formation at the cave door to seal off audio and video, which meant that there were disciples of the Xuanming Sect in the cave. He was afraid of rushing in and meeting senior disciples.
Disturbing people's cultivation is not a small crime. Once you encounter someone with a bad temper, it is not impossible to kill someone violently.
So, Li Tao played hard to get, pretending to go away, but quietly hid, just waiting to see what was going on in the cave.
Li Lifeng sighed repeatedly, somewhat admiring Li Tao's forbearance, and said: "Senior Brother Li, I thought I had become very tolerant in these years, but I didn't expect that there would be a strong one among the strong. If I had known earlier, I should have continued to stay in the cave and continue.
Practice.”
"Yes, even if you endure it for half an hour, as soon as He Jianhua comes back, I will definitely leave with him. Who knows that you have a guilty conscience... Junior Brother Li, to be honest, when I saw you appearing, I don't know why, I was very sad
It was unexpected, but I thought it was inevitable.”
Li Tao smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his smile.
Li Lifeng pretended to be stupid and said: "Senior Brother Li, what do you mean by this? I am very confused."
The smile on Li Tao's face continued: "We are all understanding people, so Junior Brother Li doesn't need to pretend anymore."
"I really don't understand." Li Lifeng forced a smile.
Li Tao gradually put away his smile, glanced at Li Lifeng coldly, took a small step back, blocked the door, but put on a defensive posture.
Li Lifeng's pupils shrank, this Li Tao was really too careful, extremely cautious, and he had already begun to guard against him making an outburst.
I am really in a dilemma now. I am more than ten feet away and I really want to make a move. I wonder if the "destruction" can be a coincidence. If I can't kill him with one blow, the big noise will attract the people next to me. Once things get serious, Chu will be alarmed.
Shocking, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, Li Lifeng was extremely cautious and did not dare to take action suddenly.
Li Tao stared at Li Lifeng for a few times and suddenly sighed: "I was still wondering why it was you before, but now I understand. No wonder you can kill Xu Jie. It turns out that your cultivation has reached the second level of Ning Yuan.
Are you afraid that Xu Jie didn’t notice it when he made the move, catching you off guard and killing you in the end?”
Li Lifeng was surprised: "Senior Brother Li has really good eyesight."
To detect the opponent's cultivation level, people of different levels can know it with their aura. For people of the same level, you need to use spiritual power to detect it at close range.
Li Tao was more than ten feet away from him and had not yet fought each other. There was no chance for his spiritual energy to get entangled, yet he was able to find out his cultivation level with just a few glances. Li Lifeng was not surprised.
Li Tao smiled: "It's not because of my eyesight. I am born with a keen intuition that is second to none. I can detect the opponent's situation based on his aura."
"No wonder." Li Lifeng smiled bitterly, "It must be because of this intuition that Senior Brother Li stayed outside the cave."
"My instincts weren't wrong, were they?"
Li Lifeng nodded and said, "What do you want?"
A weird smile appeared at the corner of Li Tao's mouth, and he said: "I don't dare to ask for the Blood-Reverse Sword, it's too tricky. But, I know that Xu Jie also has a fourth-level spiritual weapon, and I ask Junior Brother Li to give it generously."
Li Lifeng raised his eyelids and laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Li is not planning to avenge Xu Jie? It seems that your usual respectful attitude towards him is all fake!"
Li Tao snorted: "He is just a playboy who takes advantage of others! If it weren't for Chu Jingtian, how could he be so arrogant? If it weren't for Chu Jingtian who gave him pills and spiritual weapons, he could rise to the level of Ning so quickly.
The fourth level of Yuan? I have practiced hard for twenty years, and now I am in my thirties, and I have only reached the fourth level of Yuan. Do you think it is fair?"
Li Lifeng felt that Xu Jie had really failed, and couldn't help but laugh: "Because you think it's unfair, you want him to die, and of course you don't intend to help him get revenge."
Li Tao snorted angrily, his face was a little distorted, and he said bitterly: "I am a dignified person of the fourth level of Ning Yuan, and I want to attach myself to a guy of the same level. Isn't it because I don't have any power or attributes in the sect and want to find a backer?
?I thought that if I found this backer and worked for him wholeheartedly to please him, he would be happy to give me some low-level elixirs and weapons. Who knew..."
"Who knew he was not only stingy and refused to give, but even extorted filial piety from you, haha!" Li Lifeng laughed happily.
"He is such a shameless villain!" Li Tao's face turned ferocious. "It would be best if he died. I can still get rid of such a scoundrel."
"Then you have to thank me."
"You finally admitted that you killed Xu Jie?" Li Tao's eyes lit up and widened as he looked Li Lifeng up and down, still a little in disbelief.
