My Endless Life.

Chapter 304 Being Caught

After a dozen or so breaths of silence, Li Qi asked in shock:

"'That one'? Palace Master Yin, the one you are talking about is..."

"You want to know? Since you have reached the position of Dharma Protector, you should know that for some things, the more you know, the faster you will die."

Yin Xia spoke lazily, and pointed her finger at Li Qi who was standing outside through the gauze curtain.

Li Qi blinked, showing a more respectful look to Yin Xia, and said in a somewhat anxious tone:

"But...but my Shengxian Sect needs golden elixirs now. If we don't have the golden elixir from 'that person', what should my Shengxian Sect do?"

"Ascend to immortality, ascend to immortality, do you know what kind of immortality you have become? Look at your appearance after changing into immortal bodies, how can you be called an immortal?

"Little guy, I see that you look very young, and there is not much demonic energy on you. I am afraid that you have not taken the golden elixir yet. If you trust me, then listen to my advice and leave the Shengxian Sect as soon as possible and seek refuge."

Refuge?

Why did Yin Xia say that?

If Yin Xia meant that the righteous sect would launch a full-scale attack on the heartland of the evil sect, then the word "refuge" should not be used.

Even if there are some dirty things inside the righteous path, they can at least do some human things for the sake of the name of the righteous path.

At least they would not do too many things like slaughtering sects and destroying factions. Even if they really conquered the overseas demon islands, they would at most only destroy the six demon sects.

The rest is to focus on the big and let go of the small, and then slowly sort out the entire overseas.

Therefore, the right path cannot be called "difficult" at all. Yin Xia's words may have other implications.

Li Qi couldn't guess the true meaning of Yin Xia's words for the time being. He thought for a moment and said with a sad face again:

“Palace Master Yin, I was born in poverty and was adopted by the Shengxian Sect. I have come to my current position step by step. So… even if you say so, I will not leave the Shengxian Sect. I hope you can tell me how to obtain the golden elixir. On behalf of the Shengxian Sect, I am grateful to you!”

Li Qi said this and bowed deeply.

He thought that his performance of loyalty and righteousness would make Yin Xia look at him with a higher regard.

But who knew that Yin Xia laughed out loud. She chuckled at first, then the chuckle turned into an uncontrollable laugh, and finally burst into laughter:
“Hehehe…hahaha, hahahahahaha—”

"..."

Li Qi maintained a respectful attitude and didn't understand what Yin Xia was laughing at.

He had no idea what Yin Xia was thinking at the moment. Her expression was uncertain under the mask. When he was about to ask Yin Xia why she was laughing, he suddenly heard her say:

"You kid, you are not from the Ascension Sect, right?"

Although she used a question structure, her tone was extremely certain. Yin Xia was already certain that Li Qi was definitely not a member of the Shengxian Sect.

Li Qi didn't understand where he had given himself away. After a moment of silence, he asked:

"How did you tell?"

The reason why Li Qi admitted it was that after the other party discovered that he was not a member of the Ascension Sect, the pressure that had been hanging over him since he entered the door was gradually receding.

This means that Yin Xia is hostile to people from the Shengxian Sect, but not to people who are not from the Shengxian Sect.

Li Qi then decisively admitted it.

Yin Xia smiled and said, "If you are really a member of the Shengxian Sect, you would definitely not say such loyal words. I believe that since you have obtained the status of a Dharma Protector, you should know what the Shengxian Sect is essentially."

Hearing Yin Xia say this, Li Qi sighed.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with the performance just now.

What Yin Xia said was correct. The Shengxian Sect was essentially a large interest group. From the leader to the guardians, most of them had their own thoughts, except for the right-hand man who was bound to the leader.

They gathered together not for the purpose of keeping the Ascension Sect alive, but simply because they admired the strong and were controlled by the golden elixir.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for there to be someone like Li Qi who would devote himself wholeheartedly to the Shengxian Sect.

Li Qi originally thought that Yin Xia didn't know this, but now it seems that Yin Xia knows much more than he does. Her relationship with Zhao Yusheng, the leader of the Shengxian Sect, is probably not that simple.

Seeing that Li Qi remained silent, Yin Xia's tone became more relaxed.

She asked, "You want to know about 'that person' so much, maybe you also want to get the golden elixir?"

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Qi felt that after Yin Xia knew that he was not a member of the Shengxian Sect, her attitude became brighter.

Even this gloomy hall without any candlelight no longer seemed gloomy.

Li Qi didn't understand Yin Xia's change of attitude, but since she asked, he didn't intend to deny it and said bluntly:
"Yes, the golden elixir is useful to me."

Li Qi was very curious about the powerful vitality contained in the golden elixir, the kind of vitality that could keep a person alive for a period of time even if the head was chopped off.

If Li Qi could discover the true secret of the golden elixir, it might provide some inspiration for his Immortal Heart Sutra.

It was precisely because of this that he had been pursuing the golden elixir from beginning to end.

The Immortal Heart Sutra is the main one, and all the 'nutrients' that can make the Immortal Heart Sutra perfect are supplementary.

The golden elixir is the nourishment that can make the Immortal Heart Sutra perfect.

It is even the most important nutrient, no doubt about it.

After hearing what Li Qi said, Yin Xia suddenly said:

"Then take off your mask and show it to me."

"……?what are you up to?"

Yin Xia suddenly wanted to look at Li Qi's face, which made Li Qi alert.

Why take off the mask if there is nothing to do?
Li Qi was suspicious, Yin Xia smiled and said:

"Don't you want to know the source of the golden elixir? I can tell you, but... you also have to do me a favor, and the prerequisite for this favor is that I want to see what you look like first." Yin Xia's reason sounded a bit ridiculous.

Li Qi took a deep look at Yin Xia behind the gauze curtain and asked:
"So do you want to see my true face, or do you want to see my disguise?"

"Of course it's true."

"If I let you see it, will you tell me the source of the golden elixir?"

Li Qi said, already ready to escape.

Yin Xia smiled and responded: "That depends on your appearance."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Li Qi did not expect that his appearance was related to the source of the golden elixir. However, considering that Xihua Palace itself was a sect that paid great attention to appearance, Li Qi had some understanding of Yin Xia's current conditions.

He took a deep breath, then took off the mask. He rubbed his cheeks, restored his appearance to its original state, and looked at the opposite side calmly:
"Is this okay?"

"Oh, you look good, you pass."

Yin Xia nodded, seeming very satisfied.

Li Qi frowned: "What do you mean by qualified..."

Before he could finish, suddenly six white fox tails flew out from behind the gauze curtain like long ropes!
The six white fox tails were extremely fast, and their target was quite certain, it was Li Qi himself!

Seeing the white fox tail appear, Li Qi, who had been prepared, quickly stood up and flew into the sky. The invisible silk thread formed a long whip, which collided with the fox tail.

While using the pulling thread, Li Qi also summoned out two small arrows he carried with him, letting them carry the internal energy and pierce Yin Xia behind the gauze curtain!
Boom!

Two sounds of breaking the sound barrier exploded in the hall, and two small arrows arrived in front of Yin Xia almost in an instant.

But Yin Xia is also a second-grade master after all, and a second-grade master after being transformed into a demon.

Li Qi's small arrow can indeed kill a master of the Innate Realm instantly, but when facing a second-grade master, the small arrow is no different from a toy.

Yin Xia didn't make any movement. She just raised her slender hands and gently clamped them. The two small arrows suddenly stopped in her hands, as obediently as if they had never attacked her from the beginning.

Li Qi didn't have time to pay attention to his two arrows. He took advantage of the moment when Yin Xia blocked the arrows and suddenly jumped into the sky, intending to escape.

However, Yin Xia's tail is faster than his!

One of them broke through the blockade of silk threads formed by Li Qi, entangled his right leg and knocked him down from the sky.

"Don't run."

While dragging Li Qi, Yin Xia also smiled and joked: "I don't intend to harm you, I just want to ask you for a small favor."

"Forgive me for refusing!"

Feeling the charm in Yin Xia's words, Li Qi's eyes twitched.

He now had a very bad premonition, a very bad premonition from another aspect, and after feeling the temptation in Yin Xia's tone, this bad premonition became even worse!

In order to resist Yin Xia's temptation, Li Qi even exploded the spiritual seeds he had set up in advance!

That dull stinging pain was the key to Li Qi's ability to resist the other party's charm.

But even if you can resist the charm, it’s useless.

After one of Yin Xia's tails wrapped around Li Qi, the remaining five tails tied Li Qi up tightly like an octopus and dragged him directly onto the bed.

Then Li Qi saw Yin Xia's current appearance.

She has fox ears and fox whiskers on her face, and underneath the fox whiskers is a face that cannot be described in words.

Not pretty, not ugly, no special features, but definitely not ordinary.

Li Qi felt dizzy when looking at her, as if he was not looking at a person, nor a monster, but something of a higher level that could not be looked at directly.

This glance made his body freeze instantly, and before he could resist, something soft touched his lips.

Then the six tails wrapped around and covered her and Yin Xia like a quilt.

"Hehe, you're actually a young master... Relax, I really just want you to do me a favor..."

Yin Xia's sweet laughter was heard.

Afterwards... there was no sound in the hall.

……

Inside the cave, listening to the sound of rain outside, Hu Xiaoer and Wang Niuniu sat beside the fire, looking at the Yanjia sitting opposite them.

At this moment, Yanjia was holding a wooden stick and writing words on the ground to explain his identity.

He calls himself Tianhai and is Li Qi's subordinate.

After being separated from Li Qi due to an accident, he and Ding Xiang were rescued by the rescue team of Xihua Palace.

Originally, Tianhai thought that he could settle down in Xihua Palace temporarily and wait for Li Qi to come and find him.

But who could have thought that something suddenly happened in Xihua Palace, and he had to bring some disciples of Xihua Palace out.

"Something happened? What happened?"

Hu Xiaoer asked in confusion after hearing this.

Tianhai wrote on the ground: "The Palace Master of Xihua Palace dismissed most of the disciples, kept some disciples, and then..."

He paused here, as if he was sorting out his emotions, and continued writing after a long while:

"Kill them all."
