My Endless Life.

Chapter 258 Heading to Dongzhou
The skinny old man thought for a long time, and finally said:
"In a few days, there will be a martial arts competition among the six sects. Li Qi will definitely go. Then we can kidnap him."

"How can you be sure that Li Qi will go?"

The burly man in black asked.

The skinny old man said: "The Six Sects Martial Arts Competition is not just for the six sects, all the famous forces and sects in the Central Plains will send representatives.

“Xuanjian Sect, Qiqiao Villa, the Thirty-Six Gangs…even the Six Gates and the Imperial Court will send people over!
"It's true that Li Qi has entered Tianyi Valley, but he is the heir of Qiqiao Villa and the genius disciple of this generation of Qiqiao Villa. He will definitely represent Qiqiao Villa in the Six Sects Martial Arts Competition."

The skinny old man analyzed, and the sturdy man in black listened and nodded slightly.

The skinny old man's analysis makes a lot of sense.

On the surface, the Six Sects Martial Arts Competition is a competition in which each of the six major sects sends masters of various levels to compete in order to select the outstanding disciples and strong men from each major sect.

But in fact, this competition tests the foundation and potential of each major force.

The alliance of the six sects is now almost a done deal, and in the 'Righteous Alliance' to be formed in the future, the six sects and all the major clan forces will almost certainly have a place.

If one wants to gain a high position in this Righteous Alliance, one must demonstrate the strengths of one's own sect.

The heritage of Qiqiao Villa is indeed extraordinary, but among the younger generation, only Li Qi can show off his talent!
If Li Qi doesn't go, Qiqiao Villa will definitely not have much say in the Righteous Alliance in the future.

unless……

A second-grade grandmaster suddenly appeared in their Qiqiao Villa.

Thinking of this, the burly man in black almost laughed at himself.

If it were so easy to become a second-grade grandmaster, there wouldn't be just a dozen or so second-grade grandmasters in the world.

So no matter what, Li Qi will definitely participate in the Six Sects Martial Arts Competition.

At that time, he will definitely follow the Tianyi Valley team.

Therefore, they only need to wait patiently and look for the opportunity to easily kidnap Li Qi.

"I no longer have any hidden pieces in Tianyi Valley, but there is still an idle piece among the deacons outside the city. I can activate this piece and have it lure Li Qi away."

The skinny old man planned.

The sturdy man in black nodded: "Sure, as long as we lure Li Qi out, he will definitely not be able to escape even if he has wings!"

The burly man in black was full of confidence.

Although he and the skinny old man were not at the Grandmaster level, nor were they at the peak of the fourth rank, they were only at the early fourth rank and the middle fourth rank respectively.

But as the guardians of the Shengxian Sect, their true strength does not lie in their own cultivation, but in their transformation into monsters!
Once the two transform into monsters, they can fight with their true form, and with their combined strength, they are even confident enough to rival a third-grade master!
Li Qi was only a sixth-grade innate, so even if he had some tricks, they were useless in front of them.

Wouldn't it be easy to catch Li Qi by then?

……

"You want me to go to the Six Sects Martial Competition?"

After handing over the spy hidden in Tianyi Valley to Huang Wanmian, Li Qi received another piece of news from Huang Wanmian.

In this martial arts competition among six sects, Li Qi will also follow the people from Tianyi Valley.

"Why didn't you notify me before?" Li Qi asked with a frown.

He had already known about the Six Sects Martial Competition. It had been a hot topic in Tianyi Valley these days. He was not deaf, so of course he knew the details of the matter.

However, in the past few days, Li Qi neither participated in the sect competition in Tianyi Valley nor received any notification from Yan Chuan, and thought that this matter had nothing to do with him.

But now Huang Wanmian said he wanted to join in too.

Why didn’t you get the news before?
Huang Wanmian said, "Uncle Yan just received a letter informing him that he must bring you along for the martial arts competition."

"Letter? Whose letter?"

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be Qiqiao Villa."

Huang Wanmian said this and Li Qi rolled his eyes.

nonsense.

If it was really a letter from Qiqiao Villa, there was no reason why it should not be given directly to Li Qi but to Yan Chuan first.

Seeing that Huang Wanmian couldn't say anything, Li Qi stopped asking.

Just go, you can study the skills on the road anyway.

Now, the second level of the Immortal Heart Sutra has completely entered the stage of automatic deduction, just like the deduction of the acquired realm's exercises.

Li Qi does not need to divide his mind to control the derivation of the second layer. As long as the time is right, the second layer can be officially completed, so it is the same wherever he goes.

Instead of talking about the Six Sects Martial Competition, Li Qi turned the topic to the spy discovered yesterday.

"Have you checked the spy that was handed over to you yesterday?"

"I have handed it over to the Master."

"How about it?"

"He is indeed a member of the Shengxian Religion."

Huang Wanmian poured herself a cup of tea and replied.

After handing the man over to Huang Wanmian yesterday, Huang Wanmian took the man’s body directly to find the master of Tianyi Valley.

The two studied the corpse all night and found that some structures in its body were different from those of normal people.

The most obvious difference is that there is a special pill-like object in that person's body.

Its location corresponds exactly to the Dantian of the human body.

"A pill-like object? Why doesn't Zhou Que have one?"

Li Qi asked doubtfully.

If Zhou Que is also a believer in the Ascension Cult, and this person is also a believer in the Ascension Cult, then there should be no difference between the two when they are not transforming.

There is no reason why something that Zhou Que does not have is present in this Ascension Cult member.

unless……

The golden elixirs they serve are different, and the appearances they transform into monsters are also different!
"I'm not sure." Huang Wanmian shook her head: "But Master guessed that this should be because they practice in different directions." "What do you mean?"

"Master suspects that there may be another set of exercises to be used with the golden elixir. It is this exercise that allows them to change between different appearances freely. So... their body structures are a little different, which may be due to the exercise."

Huang Wanmian explained.

The master of Tianyi Valley is worthy of being the number one doctor today.

Although he had never met other members of the Ascension Sect, he could still guess some key points.

Li Qi didn't know whether his guess was correct, but regardless of whether it was correct or not, it was of great reference value to Li Qi.

After Huang Wanmian said this, the conversation between the two became quieter.

After a while of silence, Huang Wanmian said:
"But let's not talk about the people from the Shengxian Sect for now. Even my Tianyi Valley has their spies. It seems that the tentacles of the Demon Sect have penetrated very deeply into the Central Plains."

"Tianyi Valley should be fine, but the trouble is with Xihua Palace...Have you told the Valley Master about Zhou Que's matter?"

"The Valley Master said that he would contact the Palace Master of Xihua Palace and told us not to worry about it."

The relationship between Tianyi Valley and Xihua Palace is not very good, mainly because Tianyi Valley has a bad relationship with Qianfo Temple, while Qianfo Temple and Xihua Palace are allies.

For this reason, Tianyi Valley does not like to interact with people from Xihua Palace.

But now it involves the plans of the evil path and the future of the righteous path. Even if you don’t like it, you still have to give the necessary reminders.

The master of Tianyi Valley should make his own arrangements in this regard.

"What about Longwu Pavilion?"

Li Qi thought of Wei Xiong from Longwu Pavilion again.

Huang Wanmian replied:

"Master said that we don't have to worry about Longwu Pavilion. Everyone can surrender to the devil, except Longwu Pavilion. Wei Xiong's death... I'm afraid there are other reasons."

Longwu Pavilion was born out of the military, and the military is the front line against the Demon Sect. They hate the Demon Sect very much, so the master of Tianyi Valley said this.

Li Qi was not very clear about these, but he believed in the old master of Tianyi Valley.

Since he said so, there is probably nothing wrong with Wei Xiong, and his meeting with Zhou Que... may have other reasons.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What have you figured out with the notebook I gave you?"

After finishing the business, Huang Wanmian mentioned the book recording dream scenes that she gave to Li Qi yesterday.

Li Qi shook his head slightly: "Nothing has been researched yet."

"I told you it's just a dream. Don't spend too much energy on it. Besides... even if there is a past life, it doesn't matter. The past is just a passing cloud."

"I know, I'm just curious."

Li Qi replied casually.

The book that Huang Wanmian gave him contained a lot of words he didn't recognize and pictures he couldn't understand.

When looking at these words and pictures, Li Qi did not have any special feeling, as if they were just some random scribbles.

But after observing the words carefully, Li Qi discovered that there was a special pattern between these words, and they did not seem to be written casually by Huang Wanmian.

Those words...are a bit like Arabic, they are the fonts of different civilizations.

Li Qi could not recognize the characters, but he could confirm that they were independent and belonged to another civilization, thus confirming that what Huang Wanmian said was probably true.

I’m afraid Huang Wanmian...really had a past life.

So is Huang Wanmian the 'undead' she mentioned?

Li Qi didn't know. He had never seen the undead. The only time he heard someone mention them was from old William, who had been dead for who knows how many years.

Li Qi wasn't even sure whether the undead that Old William talked about were the same kind as the undead that Huang Wanmian mentioned.

But if we make a bold guess, if the so-called 'immortality' of the Undead is similar to Huang Wanmian, who can be reincarnated after death and has a chance to recover his memory...

Then is Li Qi also considered an undead?

Moreover, since the undead race is called a "race", it means that there are more than one person who possesses this characteristic. Even if Li Qi is not an undead race, there is a high probability that he will encounter members of the undead race in the future.

The premise is that Li Qi's conjecture is correct.

……

Whether it was Li Qi’s guess or there was a spy in Tianyi Valley, these things had nothing to do with Li Qi.

After deciding who would participate in the Six Sects Martial Arts Competition, Li Qi simply packed up and set off with the team.

And naturally, Bai Yuzhu also followed Li Qi.

She came to Tianyi Valley to find Li Qi. If Li Qi left, she naturally couldn't stay. It happened that Xuanjian Sect was also going to participate in the Six Sects Martial Competition, so Bai Yuzhu planned to follow Li Qi and then meet up with the disciples of Xuanjian Sect.

Tianyi Valley is one of the six sects, so the number of people in the team cannot be small.

There were a total of six acquired-realm disciples, three innate-realm disciples, and two grandmaster-level elders leading the team who went to the Longwu Pavilion in Dongzhou to participate in the martial arts competition.

Among these people, Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu are not included. Strictly speaking, Li Qi is from Qiqiao Villa, and Bai Yuzhu is from Xuanjianmen.

Therefore, the entire team, including everyone, totaled thirteen people.

It was not realistic for so many people to ride in a carriage, so everyone chose to walk to Dongzhou. Anyway, with the warriors' strength, more than a month would be enough to reach Dongzhou.

Since everyone was on the road most of the time, Li Qi had no extra time to upgrade his mechanism.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the period of developing the technique to perfect his hidden weapons.

The previous mechanisms were able to deal with the acquired realm and ordinary innate fifth and sixth levels.

Facing powerful fifth-grade and fourth-grade innate warriors, Li Qi's mechanism could only stop them for a moment.

In his first two battles with the fourth-grade innate masters, Li Qi seized the opportunity at that moment and killed his opponent with one blow.

But it's impossible for him to seize that moment every time.

Therefore, if you want to improve your overall strength, you also need to upgrade the mechanical props.
