Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 673 Leaving One Life Behind

However, just as Yu Changsheng was about to make a move, Du Xingcai grabbed his wrist.

"Hold your hand!"

Yu Changsheng turned around. He was waiting for Du Xingcai to bring it up himself; otherwise, he really wouldn't have stopped.

So as not to let Li Quan think that his words could easily change Yu Changsheng's mind.

"Heh, you don't actually believe his nonsense, do you?"

"This guy just said something casually, who knows if it's true or not. Anyway, we have to kill Li Muling. Let's just kill him and avenge him. That way, his death won't be unjust."

Yu Changsheng also gave his reasons, but Du Xingcai said in a low voice:

"Since this person shares the same goal as us, we might be able to make use of him; there's no need to kill him outright."

Yu Changsheng then asked:

"Li Quan, I can spare your life and even help you take revenge, but you must submit to my control. Can you accept that?"

Li Quan slowly straightened up, and after careful consideration, he slowly said, "If you can let me take revenge myself, I can accept your conditions."

"Excellent! You truly are a man of principle, able to bend and stretch. I admire you!"

After rummaging through his pockets for a moment, Yu Changsheng pulled out a small, black ball and said in a low voice, "Open your mouth."

Li Quan frowned. Although he didn't know what Yu Changsheng was doing, he still opened his mouth.

After Li Quan swallowed it, he found that the small ball tasted strange and unusual.

Before he could savor it, Yu Changsheng used magic to send the small ball directly into his stomach.

"The substance you ingested is called the Five Poisons Life-Saving Powder. If you don't take the antidote within a month, your magical powers will go out of control, and you will explode and die."

"But don't worry, as long as you come to me before the poison takes effect, I will naturally give you the antidote."

"But before that, you must obey my orders. If you really want to kill Li Muling, you'd better not try any tricks."

Li Quan immediately nodded, indicating that he would do as instructed.

Yu Changsheng then removed the restraints from Li Quan and took off the hood from his head.

However, after he clearly saw Yu Changsheng and the other person's faces, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Why is it you guys?"

However, he quickly realized that Yu Changsheng and the others were not genuinely cooperating with Li Muling.

That's why we started targeting him.

Yu Changsheng chuckled and said, "What, you didn't expect it to be us?"

Du Xingcai also said, "Let me tell you the truth, you have a grudge against Li Muling, but I hate him even more than you do! Many members of my entire family have been killed by Li Muling's men. How many lives are that?"

"It's far more important than your mere two lives."

Seeing this, Li Quan's last trace of doubt vanished completely, and he quickly nodded, saying:

"Alright, since that's the case, I, Li Quan, am willing to serve you. But what are your plans?"

Yu Changsheng suddenly felt enlightened. With this person's participation, the probability of his plan succeeding had greatly increased.

"My first step is to rob Li Muling's shop of everything. What do you think?"

"Robbery of Wanxing Shop?"

Wanxing Shop was naturally the new shop that Li Muling had opened, the one that Yu Changsheng had visited.

"That's right. It's difficult to make a move against Li Muling. He's been hiding in the City Lord's Mansion, protected by several Nascent Soul experts. He's also on guard against us."

"He will probably only relax his guard when he has completely taken control of Sanling Town and is firmly bound to the Third Elder."

"By then, it will probably be difficult to do anything to him."

"Therefore, we must proactively create opportunities."

Li Quan asked, "It's possible, but that shop is located in the center of Sanling Town. How do you plan to proceed?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Taking direct action is obviously impossible, but can we think of a way?"

"So, how does Li Muling usually get you to gather spiritual materials? Does he send you a message jade slip directly, or does he send someone to notify you?"

"Both are available, but for more common spiritual materials, we will notify you directly through the communication jade slip. As for more precious spiritual materials, we will send someone to retrieve them with me."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly. "Alright, since that's the case, there's still a chance. We just need to wait until Li Muling sends people again before we make our move."

Li Quan frowned. Although he didn't know what Yu Changsheng was going to do, he still nodded.

Time passed day by day, and half a month later, Li Quan finally got his chance.

Inside the shop.

A young man dressed in Li family attire strode in, spoke with the shop assistant for a while, and then led him to the backyard of the shop.

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

The young man greeted Li Quan, and Li Quan recognized him as Li Xiu.

"Oh? I didn't expect the person the clan leader sent this time to be Li Qiaoyi, who was with you before?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "He was sent by the clan chief to carry out other tasks and hasn't returned yet, so I'll take his place. Uncle, when are we leaving?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Quan took out a talisman and handed it to Li Xiu.

"With this talisman, along with the talisman you have, you can summon those spiritual materials."

Li Xiu asked in confusion, "Uncle, aren't you going?"

Li Quan nodded slightly, his face somewhat pale, and said, "Yesterday, my magical power suddenly became sluggish while I was cultivating, and it's still the same this morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to fly for long, which may delay your journey."

"Anyway, the destination isn't far this time, so you can go alone without any problem."

Seeing this, Li Xiu didn't say anything more.

"Alright then, Uncle, you should take good care of yourself and recover."

Li Xiu also left alone with his burdens, leaving Li Quan behind.

After he walked away, Li Quan immediately sent out a message jade slip.

After Li Xiu walked away, Li Mu Liao saw that Li Quan was still there, so he took the initiative to go up to him and ask:

"Li Quan, why are you still here? Aren't you going with Li Xiu?"

Li Quan shook his head and said:

"Li Xiu said that the clan leader's order was that the place to retrieve the materials was special, and he asked me to give him the talisman so that he could retrieve them alone. Since it was the clan leader's order, I naturally did as he said."

"So that's how it is."

Li Mu Liao frowned. Although he felt something was amiss, since Li Quan himself hadn't suspected anything, he couldn't say anything and went about his own business.

Li Quan was also very worried at this moment, not understanding why Yu Changsheng wanted him to do this.

But he was very clear that once this matter was exposed, he would definitely be implicated, and then the Li family would not be able to keep him.

outside the city.

Li Xiu looked hurried and quickly flew towards his destination.

Although this wasn't his first time performing this task, he was still a little nervous.

As they passed a mountain stream, Li Xiu suddenly looked down and saw two people fighting there.

"Fighting so close to Sanling Town is practically suicide."

It's important to know that fighting is prohibited in Sanling Town and the surrounding area, and anyone caught doing so will be severely punished.

However, Li Xiu did not intend to get involved in this matter, as he had other important responsibilities.

Just as Li Xiu was about to continue forward, one of them unexpectedly ran towards him, shouting loudly:

"Help me!"

But Li Xiu didn't care about the lives of others and immediately sped away from the place.

Unexpectedly, the person behind them was getting closer and closer, constantly calling for help.

Li Xiu cursed under his breath and turned around to look. The man quickly arrived not far from Li Xiu.

"Brother, I implore you to lend a hand. I will reward you handsomely once it is done."

At this moment, another person slowly approached, noticed Li Xiu beside his opponent, and asked:

"Who are you? Don't interfere in our business, and get out of here!"

However, before Li Xiu could retort, the person beside him suddenly struck out, slapping Li Xiu on the back.

Li Xiu's eyes widened instantly. He wanted to resist, but he found that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and his magic power was becoming disordered. Soon he could not even fly and crashed heavily to the ground.

At this moment, the two men exchanged a smile and immediately surrounded the person on the ground.

These two were none other than Yu Jie and Ding Xuan. Yu Changsheng had specially kept them here and arranged a scene to capture Li Xiu at the lowest possible cost.

The reason why Yu Changsheng and the other man didn't make a move was because they were afraid that Li Xiu would recognize them.

After all, when Li Muling brought the Li family into Sanling Town, Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai both showed up, so it's very likely that Li Xiu also met them.

After taking Li Xiu into custody, the two quickly interrogated him and then searched his possession for the two talismans.

Ding Xuan immediately handed the two talismans to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng examined the two talismans and confirmed that they were the same as Li Quan's, and that there were no problems.

He immediately summoned Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji, gave them the two talismans, and told them to go to Li Quan's target location right away.

This place is a spiritual material transfer station for the Li family, located on the outskirts of Sanling Town.

All the spiritual materials that the Li family collects from other places will be counted here before being sent to different sales locations in various places.

Of course, most of the valuable materials had to be sent to Sanling Town, since this was the most important place for the Li family.

After Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji arrived, they immediately handed the talisman to the manager for inspection.

After the manager confirmed that everything was correct, he immediately had someone hand over the storage bag containing various spiritual materials to the two of them.

"Why wasn't it Li Quan who came here this time?"

Seeing these two unfamiliar faces, the manager was still somewhat puzzled. If he hadn't been certain that the talismans in their hands were genuine, he would have suspected that something had gone wrong.

Mo Bingji said, "Hehe, Lord Li Quan has some matters to attend to today, so he sent the two of us here."

"Oh, I see." The manager didn't ask any more questions, knowing that some things were not for him to ask.

Mo Bingji then said:

"Please have the manager write a reply to the owner of Wanxing Shop."

The steward was taken aback. He hadn't heard anything about needing a reply, and he hadn't received one either. He asked, "What reply are you going to send?"

Mo Bingji took out a storage bag and handed it to the steward, then explained, "This is it. The manager specifically asked me to give it to you. Please make sure you report it to the authorities carefully, and there must be no mistakes."

The steward took the item and asked suspiciously:

"What's in here?"

Mo Bingji said, "I didn't see what it was exactly. But the shopkeeper reminded me that the clan chief specifically instructed that it must be sent here for safekeeping."

Seeing this, the steward dared not be negligent. After hesitating for a moment, he still did not choose to open the storage bag.

"Okay, I'll keep this safe. As for my reply, how should I write it?"

Mo Bingji said, "Hehe, all you need to do is write down that you've received the document and hand it in to us."

"Okay, that's no problem at all."

The manager had no suspicions and immediately wrote a reply to the two men, which was then delivered to them.

After what happened last night, Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji left immediately without lingering.

Once they disappeared from sight, the two immediately handed the two talismans and the letter to Yu Changsheng.

After reading it, Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, "Alright, now it's up to you two to see how you perform."

"yes!"

Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji didn't have time to linger and immediately rushed to Sanling Town as fast as they could.

At this moment, Li Quan also received a jade slip sent by Yu Changsheng and saw its contents.

Li Quan immediately stood up and said to Li Mu Liao:

"Shopkeeper."

Li Mu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Li Quan took out a token and said, "It's about spiritual materials. I'll go take a look right away."

Seeing this, Li Mu Liao didn't ask any more questions and didn't delay Li Quan, watching him leave quickly.

As soon as Li Quan left, Li Mu Liao frowned.

"Strange, why is everyone so flustered today? I hope nothing goes wrong."

Just as Li Mu Liao sat down and took a sip of tea, another guest arrived at the door. As soon as the guest entered, he started asking all sorts of questions.

This gave the shop assistant a real headache, and there were some things he couldn't answer.

They had no choice but to let Li Muliao handle the situation, and with great difficulty, Li Muliao managed to get rid of the guest.

Just as I was about to sit down and rest, I saw two more people come in through the door.

It was Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji.

The two men arrived in a hurry, and upon seeing the shopkeeper, they immediately said urgently, "Shopkeeper, Lord Li Xiu has sent us to retrieve a batch of spiritual materials."

Li Mu Liao stood up and asked, "What happened?"

Mo Bingji said, "It seems that a group of people have arrived at the transit station and need a large amount of spiritual materials, so Lord Li Xiu sent us here to retrieve a batch of spiritual materials."

"Judging from Lord Li Xiu's words, this deal should be quite profitable."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Li Mu Liao stroked his chin. Generally speaking, he was in charge of selling spiritual materials, but your transit station had the largest quantity of spiritual materials.

When making larger purchases, some sects will choose to buy directly from there, which is understandable.

Mo Bingji said, "This is a list of all the requirements. Please take a look, shopkeeper."

Li Mu Liao took it and was also shocked by the amount.

There's quite a lot of stuff in here.

Moreover, many of these are high-grade materials, some of which he doesn't even have here. (End of Chapter)
