My Endless Life.

Chapter 260: Deal with One Person First

Of course Huang Wanmian couldn't smell the scent on the deacon, but she believed Li Qi.

After being with Li Qi for such a long time, Huang Wanmian also knew that Li Qi would not suspect someone without any reason.

Since he said so, he must have his reasons.

So after a moment of silence, Huang Wanmian asked Li Qi:

"Should I report this to the elders?"

If there really are evil villains secretly causing trouble, then it would undoubtedly be best to let an elder at the Grandmaster level handle it.

Li Qi pondered for a moment and said to Huang Wanmian:
"I really want to know why they are targeting me, so..."

"You want to handle it yourself?"

"That's about right. It's a good opportunity to try something out."

Some of the things Li Qi said refer to his current strength.

His internal energy realm is still at the late stage of the sixth level of the innate realm, but in terms of actual combat ability, it should be close to the early and middle stage of the fourth level of the innate realm.

He really wanted to know how much strength Li Qi could exert without relying on mechanical props.

Now that a demon villain has come to my doorstep to serve as a whetstone, that of course couldn't be better.

“Is this a bit risky?”

Huang Wanmian frowned.

Li Qi chuckled and said, "It's a bit risky, but I bet there won't be any Grandmasters among them."

The Grandmaster level is not like cabbages that can be found in large quantities.

In Zhongzhou, at the feet of the emperor, this is the territory of Tianyi Valley. Not to mention the Grandmaster level, even ordinary masters of magic find it difficult to sneak in.

And think about it from another angle, if it was really a Grandmaster who was secretly plotting, they wouldn't resort to such conspiracy and trickery.

It would be much easier and more convenient to just capture Li Qi while he's alone.

The difference between the Grandmaster realm and the Innate realm is like the difference between heaven and earth. Even if you tie up ten Li Qis and throw them on top, they still cannot beat a Grandmaster.

So Li Qi guessed that the planner should be a warrior in the innate realm.

And it should be the fourth level of innate quality.

As for what stage of the fourth grade they are at and how many people there are, you can only know by watching.

Seeing that Li Qi had his own ideas, Huang Wanmian said no more. She just reminded:
"Don't be stubborn. If necessary, set off fireworks to ask for help. The elders will come over."

"rest assured."

Li Qi is not stupid. He dares to do this because he knows his current strength.

He was even prepared. As long as the number of opponents exceeded three, he would immediately set off fireworks to ask for help!

There is no shame in asking for help.

It would be really embarrassing if you really flipped over and got caught.

Li Qi and Huang Wanmian spoke to each other in a concise and efficient manner.

Bai Yuzhu, who had recovered a little, was distracted by the conversation between the two. It was not until Li Qi turned his head to look at her that she came to her senses and grabbed Li Qi's hand and said:

"…Can you please not go? It sounds dangerous."

"If I don't understand why they came to see me, I will face more dangers in the future. Don't worry, Sister Yuzhu, I know my limits."

The reason for facing the secret plotters in person, in addition to testing his own strength, was also to find out why they came to find Li Qi.

Judging from the person who sneaked into Tianyi Valley, the evil forces targeting Li Qi at this moment should be the followers of Shengxian Sect.

He understood that the Wanmo Dao Sect wanted to capture Li Qi.

After all, Li Qi is the 'holy son' chosen by the Wanmo Dao Sect, but why is he the Shengxian Sect?

Because of He Ru’s matter?
But the one who dealt with He Ru was 'Li Zhen', what does it have to do with him, Li Qi?
Li Qi couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to guess blindly, so facing the person behind the scenes and forcing him to tell the truth personally became his only option.

After persuading Huang Wanmian and Bai Yuzhu, Li Qi quickly separated from them and went to the place the deacon mentioned.

The guild hall that the deacon mentioned is located in the city center, close to Xicheng District. It’s not a remote place, but there aren’t many people coming and going.

There are many wealthy families around, and the courtyards are far apart.

Li Qi arrived at the entrance of the guild hall. The door was open. The disciple who was responsible for recording the list of people entering and leaving was sitting inside the door and yawning.

After looking around, Li Qi didn't see any ambush. After a little thought, he walked forward and showed his inner sect token to the disciple:

"May I ask this Junior Brother, have any inner disciples come in before?"

The disciple who was still yawning suddenly became alert when he saw the token in Li Qi's hand. He stood up and saluted Li Qi:

"Hello, Senior Brother! Um... I haven't seen any inner disciples here today. Are you looking for someone?"

"Well, I made an appointment with a few brothers to meet here, but it seems that I got here first."

Li Qi said with a smile, then pointed to the record book in front of the disciple and asked, "Can I take a look?"

"Yes! Please have a look, brother."

The disciple obediently handed the record book to Li Qi.

Li Qi took the record book and flipped through it, and found that no inner sect members or outsiders had come to the guild hall in the past few days.

The people recorded above are either vendors delivering food nearby or passers-by who come to visit Tianyi Valley.

It also records the time these people came and left, so there is no possibility of strangers staying in the guild hall.

At least from the record book, Li Qi couldn't tell.

However, the deacon who led Li Qi here should not be joking with him or making him make a wasted trip.

Putting down the record book, Li Qi asked the disciple:

"Is it okay for me to go in and wait?"

"It's okay! Please go ahead, brother! Um... please tell me your name so I can keep a record." "Li Qi, Master Yan Chuan."

After briefly saying his name and his master's name, Li Qi entered the hall and walked towards the rest area.

……

"People are coming."

The skinny old man who was resting with his eyes closed moved his ears and suddenly opened his eyes.

The big man who was sleeping soundly on the other side opened his eyes and looked at the old man:
"Come? Come in?"

The skinny old man's ears twitched slightly, and he replied, "I just entered from the main gate and am walking towards the west side of the courtyard."

"You came so quickly... could this be a trick?"

The sturdy man asked in surprise.

They asked the deacon to go out and trick the person in, and from now on until Li Qi entered the hospital, less than an hour has passed.

According to the information they received, the team from Tianyi Valley that was going to Longwu Pavilion would stay here to purchase supplies.

It would take at least a month to get from Tianyi Valley to Longwu Pavilion given the team's speed.

It takes quite a long time to buy food, clothing and other necessities for a month, and they were all prepared to wait here.

But who could have thought that just over half an hour later, Li Qi entered the guild hall and stepped into the trap they had carefully set.

This made them a little wary and suspected that there might be something fishy going on!

The skinny old man pondered for a moment after hearing this, then closed his eyes again and listened attentively.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and said:
“I didn’t sense any Grandmaster or other innate beings. He’s the only one here!”

"you sure?"

"Have you forgotten what kind of 'immortal body' I am? When it comes to hearing, even the Grandmaster level can't compare to me!"

The skinny old man replied confidently.

The big man in black nodded.

The skinny old man turned into a bat after being transformed into a demon. His hearing became extremely sensitive, and his hearing before being transformed also became quite sensitive.

Moreover, this kind of hearing also enhanced his perception, and he could sense other people's cultivation strength from a long distance.

Unless someone is a Grandmaster who is good at hiding, no one else, even a second-grade innate one, can escape his detection!
"So...it's okay?"

The big man in black asked again.

The old man nodded slightly: "Should...wait!"

He was about to say something, but suddenly waved his hand and said in astonishment:

"That kid... is walking towards us?!"

"Hmm? Did we take the wrong road?"

The big man in black was also surprised, and the old man frowned and listened for a while.

"No, the footsteps are getting closer!"

There was no need for the old man to continue speaking, the big man in black also heard the footsteps coming from outside.

Li Qi is not a martial artist who started out with horizontal training, and his main training is the Linglong Heart Sutra passed down from his family. Logically speaking, his lightness skills are pretty good, so there shouldn't be any sound of footsteps.

Moreover, even if a warrior starts with horizontal training, once he reaches the innate level, he can be as light as a swallow and land silently.

But at this moment, the two of them heard footsteps outside. The footsteps were neither light nor heavy, but very clear, and were coming straight towards the room they were in.

The old man and the big man finally sensed something was wrong. They looked at each other, held their breath, and turned all their attention to the outside.

The footsteps were getting closer and slower, as if they were giving the two of them a chance to catch up.

Seeing this, the old man and the strong man realized that this was not a coincidence.

Li Qi really came for them!

No, is that person outside really Li Qi?

The sturdy man turned his head to look at the old man, and asked him questions while making secret signals with his hands that only they could understand.

The old man frowned and thought, then nodded to the strong man and mouthed:

"I'm sure it was him."

Only their lips moved, but no sound was heard. The two communicated using secret sign language and lip reading to avoid being heard by outsiders.

But the two of them didn't talk for long, and the man outside the door had already stopped.

Stop!
The man stopped at the door!
Even though the strong man was not good at sensing, he could sense the presence of someone outside the door at this moment.

And the strong man felt a vague sense of crisis from that man.

This person is definitely not Li Qi!
No matter what the old man said, the strong man was sure in his heart.

How could Li Qi, a mere sixth-grade warrior, pose a threat to him, a warrior at the early fourth-grade stage?
But if it wasn't Li Qi, then who was that person outside the door?

Wow——! ! !
Before the sturdy man could finish his thoughts, the door in front of him suddenly shattered!
As the wood chips flew, countless pieces of wood were thrown at the sturdy man and the skinny old man like hidden weapons!
With delicate hands, the rain falls without a trace!

The technique of throwing hidden weapons in the Linglong Heart Sutra can only be used by those who have reached the innate realm.

Anything thrown in this way will become a deadly weapon!
The wood chips turned into hidden weapons, and countless pieces of wood attacked the two of them like poured water, leaving them no chance to dodge!

However, the two of them were at least at the fourth level of innateness, and they had been prepared in advance, so they were not panicked at all when facing the oncoming "hidden weapons".

The internal energy flowed, and the sturdy man in black clothes shook all over. Orange-yellow hair faintly appeared on his body, and the word "king" on his forehead became prominent. In just a blink of an eye, he turned from a human into a tiger man!
The sound of clinking was endless. The hidden weapons hit his body and made a sound like metal colliding. All the wood blocks shattered and turned into debris flying all over the sky.

The skinny old man did not change. He swung his clothes to stop all the wooden blocks. Then he turned around and threw all the broken pieces back!
However, as the skinny old man was turning around, and before he could throw the fragments out, a flash of cold light came in from outside and penetrated his neck and throat when the skinny old man turned around!
Puff-!
The skinny old man's eyes widened as the knife pierced his body.

Then the silver blade turned vigorously, and the skinny old man's huge head fell off his neck!

Just one sneak attack, and the skinny old man's soul went to hell!
