My Endless Life.

Chapter 242: Bone Demon and Insect Demon
Li Xueren's fingers explored Li Qi's wrist for a while.

After a while, he let go of Li Qi's hand and breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's okay, you haven't been infected by them yet."

"infect……?"

Catching the key words, Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What does this 'infection' mean?"

Li Xueren returned to his seat and continued to eat while explaining to Li Qi:
“The Shengxian Sect is a demonic sect that has recently developed overseas. It does not have many members, but most of them are elite. There is a leader, two messengers on the left and right, and four guardians, all of whom are at the Grandmaster level.

"It just became one of the six demon sects of the Demon Alliance some time ago."

In the Demonic Alliance, there are also six demonic sects to compete with the six factions.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the Heavenly Demon Island, and the Blood Demon Sect are among the six demon sects.

But apart from these three, the positions of the remaining three are often changed, unlike the six sects in the Central Plains which are so stable.

After all, although the Six Demon Sects are called the Six Demon Sects, in reality, there are only a few sects that have second-grade grandmasters, and there are only a few sects that can stably produce second-grade grandmasters in every generation.

The Shengxian Sect is one of the six newly emerged demonic sects.

Its leader is a second-rank grandmaster, and his left and right guardians and the four guardians are also at the grandmaster level. It is considered a considerable force.

"But what really frightens people is not the strength of the Ascension Cult."

Li Xueren used his Qi to block the sound transmission and talked to Li Qi:

"What really frightens people about the Shengxian Sect is a strange phenomenon within it."

"infect?"

"Yes, I don't know what means they use to turn people into monsters that are neither human nor ghost. The longer you stay with the people of the Ascension Cult, the easier it is to turn into such a monster.

“It is said that… the Four Elephant Guardians of the Ascension Cult are all monsters like them.

"I once saw one of their four guardians, Suzaku, in action. Suzaku's arms were covered with feathers, and he had a pair of large flaming red wings on his back. The people under his command also looked like birdmen. It was very strange."

"Oh, so this is what is called contagion..."

After listening to Li Xueren's narration, Li Qi knew that he did not know about the existence of the golden elixir.

The guardians of the Shengxian Sect, taking the Suzaku mentioned by Li Xueren as an example, they must have eaten the golden elixir just like He Ru and County Magistrate Qian.

Moreover, most of them are successful experimental subjects, similar to He Ru, rather than those like County Magistrate Qian who can no longer maintain their human form.

This proves that the golden elixir is widely circulated, at least within the Shengxian Sect.

Even a bolder guess is that eating the golden elixir is the criterion for joining the Ascension Sect.

"Anyway, don't deal with the people from the Ascension Cult. They are very evil. Not a single one of them..."

Li Xueren was about to say something else when suddenly, someone in a corner of the inn let out a scream of fear.

"Brother Wang!! What's wrong with you! Brother Wang!!!"

Li Xueren and Li Qi fell silent at the same time. Li Xueren removed the Qi barrier and turned to look towards the corner.

Then, in the corner, a chivalrous knight was seen hugging a shirtless man and calling out anxiously.

The big man's face turned ashen and he was foaming at the mouth, as if he had been poisoned.

Seeing this, the chivalrous knight shouted anxiously and angrily said to the innkeeper:

"What kind of shady shop is this? You actually put poison in the food!!!"

"Ah? Poisoning!?"

After he said this, the other people who were eating in the inn also put down their chopsticks.

Some people hurriedly took out detoxification pills from their backpacks, while some people frowned and took out silver needles to check the dishes in front of them.

Qiqiao Villa is a martial arts sect, and the towns under its jurisdiction are also mostly populated by martial arts people. Now, most of the people inside Shili Inn are also martial arts people.

Because of this, after hearing the chivalrous knight say that the food was poisonous, their first reaction was not to run away, but to use their own methods to test the food in front of them.

Including Li Xueren.

He first fixed his eyes on what he was eating, and was about to check the dishes on the table when he heard Li Qi say:
"No need to check, there's no poison in the food, the person fainted because of something else."

"Blackmail?"

Li Xueren narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Qi shook his head: "Not really, let's take a look first."

The two of them are now just passers-by and it is not appropriate for them to get involved in what is happening at the moment. It would be better for them to wait and see how things develop.

When the Jianghu guest said the dish was poisonous, the innkeeper immediately ran out and said:

"What a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding, hero! My Shili Inn has been open in this Qiqiao Town for decades, how could it be a shady shop!"

"Then how do you explain my brother's current state?"

"This... maybe he ate something bad...?"

The innkeeper said hesitantly, and then immediately said: "Hey, hero! Let's not talk about this now. Quickly, the rest of you, go and call the doctor! Quickly!"

The boss ordered two waiters to go and get a doctor.

Seeing this, the knight was no longer angry with his boss. He hugged the strong man and called out to him anxiously, trying to keep him awake.

But no one expected that in just a few breaths, the sturdy man's face became increasingly blue, and he looked like he was breathing in and out.

Seeing this, Li Xueren's expression changed slightly.

He took two steps at a time and came to the knight's side, reaching out his hand towards the sturdy man's neck.

Li Xueren's sudden appearance startled the knight, but he quickly reacted and pointed at Li Xueren and said angrily:

"You——!" "Get out!"

Li Xueren is a second-rank grandmaster, so he will naturally not spoil a young knight who has only acquired talent.

He immediately knocked the knight away with one palm, and then slapped the poisoned man on the back with another palm.

"puff!!"

The poisoned strong man finally reacted. He sprayed forward and dark purple poisonous blood spurted out of his mouth and fell on the ground. In an instant, a hole was corroded on the ground.

The poisonous blood was spurted out, and logically the strong man should have felt better.

However, the strong man's breath became weaker and weaker, and he died in a moment.

“Brother!! You…you—Poof!!”

The chivalrous knight who was knocked away by Li Xueren was so furious when he saw this scene that he was about to point at Li Xueren and curse at him. However, before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and his face turned ashen.

This is what poisoning looks like!
"!!"

In just less than half a quarter of an hour, two people were poisoned one after another. Even though the people in the inn were all martial artists who had traveled the world, they could not help but feel fear.

Some people have quietly retreated and prepared to leave, while others are staring at the people present, wanting to see what is going on.

After seeing the second person being poisoned, Li Xueren no longer hesitated. He threw the strong man's body aside, then instantly returned to Li Qi and grabbed his shoulders.

Without giving Li Qi time to ask questions, Li Xueren grabbed Li Qi and left.

Only a piece of silver was left on the table.

"It's... It's over... Someone's dead... Someone's been poisoned to death..."

Everything happened so fast that before the innkeeper could figure out what was going on, Li Xueren and Li Qi had already left.

All that was left was a corpse lying on the ground and a half-dead knight.

……

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Xueren hurriedly dragging him out of the town, Li Qi asked in confusion.

"It's the Wan Du Sect!"

Li Xueren said as he walked: "Although I don't know the name of the poison just now, it is undoubtedly from the hands of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. I often deal with them overseas, and I will not make a mistake about their poison!"

"The Ten Thousand Poison Sect, one of the Six Demon Sects? They are the ones who sneaked into our Qiqiao Villa this time? They are also the ones who killed Wei Xiong?"

Li Qi asked in surprise.

Li Xueren shook his head: "I don't know, I just came back and haven't started the investigation yet, but no matter what, since the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is here, we can't stay here! I'll send you to the Xuanjian Sect to hide first, and we'll talk about it after the storm here has passed."

"You don't care about Qiqiao Villa anymore?"

Li Qi was even more surprised when he saw that Li Xueren looked like he was going to get away.

No matter what, Qiqiao Villa is also an asset of the Li family. The Li family has owned Jingying Qiqiao Villa for so long. As the previous owner, Li Xueren is a bit too cruel to just abandon it like that.

"Of course I will! But before I do that, I have to make sure you're safe! Only then can I go back and deal with the affairs of the villa with peace of mind."

Li Xueren explained to Li Qi, always putting Li Qi's safety first in his words.

Hearing that Li Xueren cared so much about his safety, Li Qi always felt that something was wrong.

Although I am his grandson, it is a bit too much for him to care so much about my safety.

Li Qi was confused, but did not ask the question.

He followed Li Xueren out of the town and ran towards the direction of Xuanjianmen.

But not long after leaving the town, a long sword flew from the sky and flew straight towards Li Xueren's face!

Li Xueren's pupils shrank, and he dodged to protect Li Qi behind him. Then he flicked his finger and a stream of energy flew out from his fingertips, colliding with the long sword.

Ding!
Li Xueren pointed the long sword away and it flew back to its original direction at a faster speed.

Under Li Qi's gaze, the long sword that flew back was held in the hands of a mysterious man who fell from the sky.

The mysterious man had white hair and beard, and looked to be about the same age as Li Xueren, but his face was as haggard as a mummy, and his whole body exuded a sinister demonic aura.

"Bone Demon! It's you!!"

Seeing the Grandmaster coming, Li Xueren's tone was solemn.

The old man called the Bone Demon smiled sinisterly. He waved the sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword at Li Xueren and said:

"Old brother, long time no see. Where are you in such a hurry to leave? Where do you want to take our Holy Son?"

"..."

Son?

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xueren with a strange expression.

The corners of Li Xueren's mouth twitched. He did not explain to Li Qi, but said to the old demon:
"Old Demon Bone! I didn't expect you to dare to go deep into the Central Plains Martial Arts World! Aren't you afraid that the people in the Central Plains Martial Arts World will find you and kill you?"

"Hehehe, the six major sects and the Great Qi court are all busy taking care of themselves, so how can they care about our Wanmo Dao Sect?

“Old Demon Chong, please stop talking about those useless things. Since you have found the Holy Son, I can forgive you for the past. As long as you bring the Holy Son back obediently, you will definitely have a place in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect in the future!”

As the Bone Demon spoke, his might suddenly exploded and pressed towards the two people in front of him!

Feeling the power of the Bone Demon, Li Qi was also startled.

This guy……

He is actually at the second-grade Grandmaster level!
