Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 284: Diverting trouble to the east
"Something happened?"

Li Rui frowned even more tightly, but still listened to Xu Chuan patiently.

Xu Chuan swallowed the blood in his throat and explained, "This time, I was ordered by Lord Yuan to track down the Black and White Devils. I didn't expect that they would ambush and kill me on the way."

"I was seriously injured and wandered around in the mountains. I accidentally came to Qinghe. That's when I thought of asking Brother Li for help."

Black and white evil!

Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.

Of course he had heard of the names of the Black and White Devils, who were two notorious masters of the Innate Realm. Moreover, because they were twins, they had mastered the art of combining forces to an extremely high level, which was simply not something ordinary people could contend with.

Xu Chuan does have some skills, as he has been able to survive the hands of the Black and White Devils for so long.

"Brother Xu is really capable. He was able to survive the hands of the Black and White Devils."

Xu Chuan's face was more bitter:
"It was thanks to the life-saving talismans given by my master that I was able to hold on until I could see my brother."

When Li Rui heard about the talisman, he was immediately envious.

In order to ensure that their disciples can grow up smoothly, the elders of these major sects will give them some life-saving means. The most common type is talismans, which are simple to use and have power far beyond the actual power. Some more important disciples will even have protectors.

With the talisman on him, he could indeed fight against the Black and White Evils for a while.

Li Rui's heart sank immediately.

Judging from the style of the Black and White Devils, they have most likely sneaked into Qinghe City. Once they find him, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xu Chuan has thrown a hot potato into his hands.

Seeing that Li Rui had not taken any action.

Xu Chuan's words became colder, with a hint of threat in them: "Sir Li, this is what Lord Yuan ordered. Do you dare to go against his will?"

Li Rui's expression did not change at all, but he asked:
"Brother Xu, does anyone else know that you came to Qinghe?"

Xu Chuan was stunned and didn't understand why Li Rui said that.

Although I was anxious.

But he still had to rely on Li Rui to stop the Black and White Devils, so he patiently answered: "It happened suddenly, and no one except the Black and White Devils should know about it."

Li Rui nodded: "What about the Marquis?"

"Of course I don't know."

"That's good."

"That's good?"

Hearing Li Rui's words, Xu Chuan was even more stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of Li Rui's words for a moment. He looked out the window and urged anxiously:

"Brother Li, it will be too late if you don't take action now!"

"it is good."

Li Rui nodded, raised his big hand and dropped it towards Xu Chuan's head.

Xu Chuan: “???”

In a daze.

He actually saw a shadow of an immortal palace shrouding Li Rui's palm, and the terrifying immortal power almost made him unable to stand.

Xu Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What kind of trick is this!"

The thought has just arisen.

The pupils gradually become dilated and finally become completely empty.

Raise your hand to suppress!

Li Rui looked at Xu Chuan's body with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. He had already arrived at the secret room.

Diverting trouble to the east?

With just a young seedling like you, you can defeat an old hand like me.

That's right, he killed Xu Chuan.

The Immortal Palace suppressed him as soon as they made a move. Not to mention that Xu Chuan was seriously injured now, even if he was in his prime, it would only take a slap to defeat him.

at this point.

He has experimented on Zhuang Renhe, Yuan Gao and Qi Rui many times.

Have rich experience in practical samples.

If the Black and White Devils break into An Ning Guard, no one will be able to stop them.

Perhaps in the end those fourth-rank masters of Qinghe will join forces to kill the Black and White Devils, but there is a high probability that he will be implicated and killed by Xu Chuan.

Moreover, Xu Chuan is a person with ulterior motives.

It is true that Xu Chuan was ordered to go to the Wu Kingdom, and it is also true that he was ordered to track down the Black and White Devils.

But today, he suddenly and unreasonably broke into his house, which was very problematic.

Maybe Xu Chuan doesn’t know.

Just after he arrived in Wubei City and met Dao Mo, Dao Mo had already sent someone to tell Li Rui everything about Xu Chuan in a secret letter.

An urgent letter was even sent the day before yesterday.

Xu Chuan ran out of Wubei City by himself, and then there was no news of him.

He was ordered by Lord Yuan to track down the criminals wanted by the imperial court, and these were all official business that could be made public.

Just sit still and wait for Wuguo to help investigate.

There is no need to put yourself in danger.

Unless there is some unspeakable secret.

Either it is Lord Yuan’s secret, or it is Xu Chuan’s own secret.

That's why Li Rui first asked if anyone else knew about it, and then asked Lord Yuan if he knew about it, just to confirm whose business it was.

Since it is Xu Chuan’s business.

Then Xu Chuan must die.

This guy has evil intentions. He caused the trouble himself, but now he is being dragged down as the scapegoat.

no way!

Li Rui is not the kind of person who would be used as a gun by others.

"It should be right here."

With the help of his spiritual eyes, Li Rui's efficiency in searching corpses was incredibly high. In no time, he had found all the valuables on Xu Chuan's body.

Xu Chuan is worthy of being a disciple of a major sect.

He has a lot of treasures on him, in addition to elixirs, there are also a lot of talismans.

No wonder he said that he relied on talismans to escape the pursuit of the Black and White Devils.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stuffed all these things back to Xu Chuan as they were.

Only a palm-sized piece of jade was left.

"This is."

Just as Li Rui was thinking, lines of small words appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of becoming an immortal ancestor - testing spiritual roots. ]

Li Rui's pupils shrank sharply and his mouth opened slightly.

You can find out by looking at the lip shape.

It’s a big “fuck”.

Friends who have practiced Taoism know that the first step in practicing Taoism is to test one’s spiritual roots.

He thought that Xu Chuan must have obtained some precious treasure, which was why he was hunted down by the Black and White Devils.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Black and White Devils to kill Xu Chuan halfway.

But no one would have expected that what Xu Chuan took was actually the spirit-testing stone.

As the name suggests, the spirit-testing stone is a stone used to test one's spiritual roots.

Li Rui's eyes suddenly became hot.

This thing became extinct in ancient times.

'You only need to drop your fingertip blood on the spirit-testing stone to detect your spirit roots.'

He recalled the usage he had seen in ancient books before.

Gritting his teeth.

He bit his fingertip and a drop of bright red blood fell onto the spirit-testing stone.

Then——

The spirit-testing stone that had been dormant for countless years was finally activated again, emitting brilliant golden light. Fortunately, it was in a secret room, otherwise it would have been noticed by others.

soon.

The light of the spirit stone gradually dissipated, and finally two faint white marks appeared on the jade. Li Rui: '.'

as predicted.

Middle grade spiritual root.

One white mark represents a low-grade spiritual root, two white marks represent a medium-grade spiritual root, three represent a high-grade spiritual root, and above the three, that is the legendary Tao body, which exists only once in a thousand years even in ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant.

'good. ’

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

You know, this world is cut off from spiritual energy. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it is already quite remarkable that one can still reach the middle-grade spiritual roots.

Just as Li Rui was thinking.

The white marks on the spiritual root stone slowly disappeared and finally returned to its original appearance.

Li Rui squatted down.

Then he put the spirit-testing stone into Xu Chuan's arms, carried his body and disappeared into the secret passage of the secret room.

Outside Qinghe City, in the mountains and forests beside the official road.

Two men, eight feet tall, one in black and one in white, wearing tall hats, stood quietly.

If there were any mountain people passing by at this time, they would surely be frightened to death.

This is exactly the appearance of the Black and White Impermanence in the rumors.

"That kid entered Qinghe City?"

Bai Sha spoke slowly.

"should be."

Heisha's eyes were gloomy.

They chased Xu Chuan all the way from the border of Wu Kingdom to Qinghe. Xu Chuan threw talismans at them like they were free, making it impossible for them to succeed.

He was about to be caught.

That boy actually ran into Qinghe River.

When I talk about it, I get angry.

They were originally following the order of the Immortal Lord and went south to the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Wu Kingdom to look for what the Immortal Lord wanted. However, they did not expect that the boy from the Yu Kingdom had a high-level talisman that could conceal his body. The two of them were careless for a moment, and Xu Chuan actually succeeded in getting the talisman.

The two were furious, so they chased Xu Chuan for thousands of miles to Qinghe.

If it were any other city, the worst that could happen to them would be to go in and massacre the entire city.

This is the price for daring to take the Immortal Lord’s things.

But Qinghe is different. There are many fourth-grade experts in Qinghe.

Both of their names are on the Yu State's bounty notice. If they are killed, the entire sect will benefit.

It would be troublesome if we were besieged.

Heisha's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No, the Immortal Venerable's things must be taken back. Let's go in and get out quickly. It looks like we are heading to Anningwei. There are no innate warriors there. If we can't defeat them, we'll just kill them all!"

Bai Sha nodded.

Just as the two were preparing to leave.

Suddenly something flew over.

boom!
It fell heavily to the ground.

"who is it?!"

Both of them were shocked. Bai Sha was about to rush forward to chase and kill him, but was stopped by Hei Sha.

"Is it that boy??"

Bai Sha stopped rushing forward, turned his head, and saw that the person who flew out just now was Xu Chuan's body!

Xu Chuan appeared in front of them in this beautiful and lively manner.

Heisha's figure flashed and instantly came next to Xu Chuan's body.

He squatted down and felt around for a while.

Take it out.

His face was overjoyed, and the Spiritual Test Stone suddenly appeared in his hand. Heisha breathed a sigh of relief: "The thing is still there."

Baisha was also very happy when he saw the stone in Heisha's hand.

Although they didn't know what the stone was used for, since it was something the Immortal wanted, it must be extraordinary.

Heisha stood up slowly:
"Thank you, brother in the dark."

Then it disappeared deep into the forest.

An hour later.

The Black Evil and the White Evil came back and reappeared in their original place.

"That's cautious enough."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Heisha's eyes. Everything that happened just now was just an act for the people in the dark to see.

They left, but not completely.

Instead, he hid in the dark and kept observing.

That man killed Xu Chuan, but they would not be grateful at all. On the contrary, if possible, they would kill that man as well.

Bai Sha seemed to be thinking:
"It seems that this pretty boy has quite a lot of enemies."

Heisha's eyes flickered, and after a long time he slowly spoke: "Let's go, it's more important to deal with the Immortal Venerable's business first."

"Ah."

Bai Sha nodded.

That person was too cunning, or he hid too deeply, and he could not be found in a short time. As for Xu Chuan, even if that person was not there, they would still kill him, so he had to take the blame.

It’s just that it’s not in the nature of the Black and White Devils for them to take the blame for no reason.

That's why this happened.

Done.

The two of them disappeared into the darkness again.

Until dawn.

The ground covered with dead leaves shook slightly, and Li Rui slowly climbed up and shook off the dirt.

Not bad.

Last night he carried Xu Chuan's body out of the city through the secret passage.

There is no one in the forest at night.

In addition, he had a pair of spiritual eyes, and the Black and White Devils were like lighthouses, and they were quickly found.

After throwing Xu Chuan's body out.

He buried himself underground, well, he buried himself alive. With the Changchun skill at his disposal, a trace of air would be enough for him to sustain for a long time.

It turns out.

You did the right thing.

The Black Demon and the White Demon were cunning in nature. They ran back and forth four times before they left completely.

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

It's over.

If the Black and White Devils force their way into An Ning Wei, they will be punished at the very least, or even lose their lives at the worst. The best way to stop the Black and White Devils from entering the city and killing people is to throw the culprit Xu Chuan out.

For the sake of his life, Xu Chuan had to endure it.

In fact, if Xu Chuan hadn't harbored evil intentions, Li Rui might have thought of a way, but Xu Chuan clearly had the intention of diverting the trouble away, so it was no wonder that Li Rui was so cruel.

And with Xu Chuan's personality, he wouldn't be grateful even if I saved him.

Even after he was safe, he would still be suspicious, thinking that Li Rui knew that he had obtained the treasure, and would secretly deal with Li Rui.

This is not paranoia.

When there is danger, maybe not, but when it is safe, then it is possible.

Xu Chuan went to do things for Lord Yuan, but ended up ruining things for his own selfish gain. If Li Rui reported him, he would definitely be in trouble, so of course he would choose to deal with Li Rui.

Rather than waiting for Xu Chuan to take revenge later, it is better to strike first.

One hundred.

No one knows anyway, and the Black and White Devils are not going to rush to Lord Yuan or Guiyun Sect to explain.

The result has not changed, it's just that there is this extra intermediate step.

The sky is bright.

The people in Qinghe City walked out of their houses and started their busy day. No one knew that the Black and White Devils almost entered the city while they were sleeping soundly last night.

An Ning Wei was also peaceful, with soldiers trotting towards the dining hall in groups of three or five.

In Li's house.

When Wang Zhao finished cooking the meat porridge, Li Rui had already dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

Stretched.

It was as if nothing happened yesterday.

Looking at the warm sun, Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly:

"another beautiful day."

Wang Zhao saw Li Rui leaving and greeted him with a bright smile: "Master, it's time to eat porridge."

Li Rui laughed:
"I'm coming."
