Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Lu Xin said, "What's there to doubt? We're just a few small-time cultivators; they don't take us seriously at all, and they're not afraid of what we might do. Naturally, they just gave us the money directly."

"If we don't catch Li Xiu, that's when our troubles will begin."

"Let's go. Let's make a deal with that person first, and then send a signal to the Li family when the time is right."

Yu Changsheng asked worriedly, "Are we really going to betray that person? What if he's already on guard?"

Cai Xin had been worried about this matter, especially about Li Muling's threat to them at the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, she couldn't help but look at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin reassured the group and then led them to the agreed location immediately.

After leaving Sanling Town, Lu Xin immediately relayed the news of acquiring the spirit stones to Ding Xuan.

After receiving the message, Ding Xuan also used a communication jade slip to inform them of a location.

After receiving the message, Lu Xin also passed it on to the Li family.

The person in charge of this matter from the Li family is named Li Jue.

Upon learning of this news, Li Jue immediately led his men to the target location to lie in ambush.

When Lu Xin and his group arrived at their destination, they did not see a single person.

"Damn it, where did that guy go?"

Lu Xin searched the vicinity but still couldn't find anyone.

"Could this guy be late again?"

Hu Chong said, "It's probably the same as last time; he doesn't trust us, which is why things have turned out this way."

The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that it made sense.

Lu Xin sat down directly under a tree stump. "Well, since that's the case, let's wait here a little longer."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng sighed helplessly. These guys really had no sense at all.

"Big brother, look under your butt! There seems to be something there."

Lu Xin looked down and realized that there seemed to be a small ball of dirt between his legs.

Although it looks unremarkable, such a perfectly shaped clay ball could not possibly have been formed naturally.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xin immediately picked up the clod of earth, squeezed it hard, and the clod of earth shattered, revealing a letter inside.

Lu Xin immediately opened it and saw that everything went black.

Cai Xin and the others immediately came over and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

"This guy is definitely not easy to deal with."

When Cai Xin and the others took the letter and read it, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"I knew that person wasn't that simple. Otherwise, how could he have held back from going to redeem the reward after capturing Li Xiu?"

"This person must be extremely cautious; he would never act without being certain of success."

"What should we do? Do we really have to do it his way?"

The others were also at a loss, but it seemed that this was the only thing they could do.

The method in the letter was actually quite simple: Ding Xuan would release a bird-like spirit beast to come and collect the spirit stones.

Lu Xin and the others only need to place the spirit stones that can be given to him on the spirit beast, and the spirit beast will naturally bring the spirit stones back.

At that time, Ding Xuan will return the letter containing Li Xiu's location to them.

In this situation, they had absolutely no way to track down Ding Xuan's whereabouts.

Left with no other choice, Lu Xin had to inform Li Jue of the Li family about the situation.

Before long, Li Jue and his men surrounded them.

He also wanted to ask them face-to-face for clarification.

"What do you mean by this? Didn't we agree to come here to pick them up? Where are they now?"

Lu Xin smiled wryly and said, "My lord, you have seen the contents of the letter as well."

"The other party was more cautious than we imagined and did not fall for the trap."

"It seems that capturing the person will be quite difficult, but Li Xiu should be fine."

Upon hearing this, Li Jue's face turned cold as he asked, "What, do you think the brothers are all here to be your dogs, to be walked around by you?"

"Do you really think we cultivators have nothing better to do than play around with you like this?"

Li Jue's voice grew louder and louder, making Lu Xin and the others tremble with fear.

"Sir, we absolutely did not mean that. Please forgive us."

Li Jue slowly approached, his aura becoming even more imposing.

This made Lu Xin break out in a cold sweat.

Although the two groups were very close in cultivation level, Lu Xin was clearly inferior in terms of aura.

Lu Xin said, "My lord, we will definitely not let you go all out for nothing. Once we capture that wanted criminal Li Xiu, we will naturally send you spirit stones."

Seeing that Lu Xin had grasped the concept so well, Li Jue finally nodded with rare satisfaction.

"Okay, you said it yourself, I didn't force you."

"Of course, of course."

Lu Xin nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.

Li Jue asked, "If that's the case, where is that person now?"

Lu Xin said, "He refused to reveal his location, only agreeing to release a spirit beast to receive the spirit stones before handing the person over to us."

Li Jue snorted coldly, "I didn't expect this guy to be so cautious. But it's alright, my Li family has secret methods to track the location of that spirit beast, so you can rest assured."

Lu Xin's eyes lit up immediately. He hadn't expected there to be such a method. This would greatly increase his chances of finding the other party.

"Alright, thank you for your help, sir!"

Before long, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon and quickly approached, landing on the tree stump and gnawing on the soil ball on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xin couldn't help but admire the man's ingenious methods.

Lu Xin looked at Li Jue and handed the bird to him.

Li Jue immediately used his secret technique to mark the bird.

Then he had Lu Xin put all the agreed-upon spirit stones into a storage bag and tie it to the bird.

After the bird was released, it indeed flew quickly in one direction.

Upon seeing this, Li Jue and the others immediately shouted, "Chase!"

Lu Xin and the others immediately followed.

The bird-like spirit beast was extremely fast and quickly disappeared from their sight.

However, Li Jue's methods were also quite formidable, and he was able to continuously locate the bird's direction.

At this moment, it was finally discovered that the bird was circling around.

It seems they had anticipated that someone might catch up.

So it's very likely that he was deliberately circling around.

Even so, the bird was bound to fly towards Ding Xuan's direction.

Sure enough, after circling around for a while, the bird suddenly sped off in one direction.

Fortunately, Li Jue quickly located the direction of the bird using his methods.

Before long, Li Jue sensed that the bird had stopped.

So he yelled to the others, "Prepare for battle! That bird has flown away! Charge!"

Soon everyone rushed in that direction.

As they got closer, they indeed saw the bird perched near a tree stump, eating a small ball of dirt.

Clearly, this is also the location of one of the targets.

However, when Lu Xin and the others went over to take a look, they didn't see anyone else.

Lu Xin hurriedly went forward to check the bird's body, only to find that it was completely empty, with no spirit stones left.

"Fuck your grandpa!"

At this moment, Lu Xin couldn't help but start cursing.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so careful that they took the storage bag from the bird without even seeing a shadow of a person.

I really don't know how that guy did it.

At this moment, Li Jue also came over and, upon seeing the bird in Lu Xin's hand, immediately understood what was going on.

"Hmph! Do you really think everyone else is an idiot? Someone you can easily betray? It turns out that you bunch of pigs are even dumber than pigs in front of that person."

Lu Xin and his companions were speechless after being talked to. They thought they could outmaneuver others, but little did they know that their every move was already known to the other party.

Li Jue reminded them, "Don't forget your mission. If the money is gone and the person hasn't been found, don't blame the clan leader for being ruthless."

Li Jue's warning undoubtedly sent a chill down Lu Xin's and the others' spines.

Compared to the loss of those spirit stones, the Li family's retaliation is the most terrifying.

The most terrifying thing would be if the money were gone and the person still hadn't been found.

Lu Xin quickly replied, "I'll find out where they are right away."

Lu Xin was also somewhat flustered at this moment. He hurriedly sent a communication jade slip to Ding Xuan.

Seeing that Ding Xuan had not replied for a long time, Lu Xin sent out several more jade slips containing messages.

After several rounds of questioning, Ding Xuan finally replied to their letters.

"You were ruthless first, so don't blame me for being unjust later. I have already moved the person to another safe place."

Although it was just a short line of text, it completely broke Lu Xin's mentality.

"Damn it, you bastard! You'll die a horrible death! I'll make you die a horrible death!"

Seeing Lu Xin cursing like a demon, Li Jue immediately stopped him:

"Enough! Where are they?"

Lu Xin's entire body suddenly froze on the spot. After a struggle, he slowly turned his head and said with an extremely ugly expression:

"Sir, that fellow didn't keep his promise to call the person out."

"That's not my concern. If you can't get them to come out, you can just wait to die!"

Lu Xin said, "My lord, it's all that fellow's fault; he broke his promise!"

Regardless of Lu Xin's reason, Li Jue simply stretched out his hands.

"Shouldn't you hand over the spirit stones of us brothers now?"

"Huh? Spirit stones?"

"This, this, sir, how much do you want?" Lu Xin asked stammeringly.

"It would cost at least two million spirit stones to invite us brothers, right?"

"Brothers, don't you agree?"

"That's right, brother is right!"

"You need to give us at least two million spirit stones!"

Seeing this, Lu Xin and his companions had no choice but to take out two million spirit stones.

Originally ten million spirit stones, six million of them have already been divided up by Ding Xuan.

Only four million spirit stones remained, and now, after being divided into several sections, only two million spirit stones remain.

Although this is a considerable amount of income, it seems quite good for the group.

The key problem is that Li Xiuren still can't be found, and that's the biggest trouble.

"What are you planning to do with this person?"

After receiving the money, Li Jue nodded in satisfaction, and his attitude softened slightly.

After all, he had taken the spirit stones from Lu Xin and the others, so it wasn't really appropriate for him to just ignore them.

Moreover, if the person is not caught, he may also be implicated, and he might have to give back those spirit stones.

Therefore, helping Lu Xin catch the person would be very beneficial.

Lu Xin had no other options but to keep sending out communication jade slips, pleading with Ding Xuan to have mercy and call the person out.

They were even willing to pay another million spirit stones to find Li Xiu's whereabouts.

Finally, Ding Xuan replied to the group with a message on a jade slip.

You can bring people, but no one else can come along; Lu Xin and the others must go by themselves.

As for the Li family, they absolutely cannot come along.

Once the Li family follows, they will have no chance anymore.

Lu Xin knew that this was his last chance, and he dared not gamble like he had before.

Moreover, Lu Xin now knew how formidable his opponent was and that he wasn't so easily fooled.

He then informed Li Jue of the situation.

Li Jue asked, "Don't you intend to get those six million spirit stones back from him?"

At this moment, Lu Xin no longer had any thoughts about collecting spirit stones. He was already quite satisfied with bringing the person back and saving them from death.

After explaining the situation to Li Jue, Lu Xin did not allow Li Jue to follow him.

He led his team to the location Ding Xuan had indicated to them.

After the others left...

Li Jue's men also gathered around.

"Boss, are we really just going to let them leave like this?"

"What if Lu Xin takes the opportunity to escape?"

"And if we could seize that opportunity to capture those people, wouldn't that be an even greater achievement?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue thought it made a lot of sense.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to become so smart now, you were so dull before. You're right."

"However, that person might still be watching us secretly. It's not too late to chase after them later."

The subordinate said worriedly, "Boss, what if that person gets too far away? How are we supposed to catch up?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue couldn't help but give him a whack with a hammer.

"I just praised you for being smart, thinking you'd finally figured it out. But now you've come across such a stupid question."

"Have you forgotten that the Li family's methods can be tracked?"

"I've already secretly placed a spell on Lu Xin, so tracking him will be a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate's eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, as expected, the head is indeed intelligent; we are naturally no match for him."

Li Jue smiled smugly, "Let's wait a while, until that person lowers their guard, then we can chase after them."

"That person might still be watching us secretly. Anyway, you guys should behave yourselves and wait a while."

Li Jue and the others immediately sat down to rest.

After about half a cup of tea's time, there was no more movement around.

Moreover, Li Jue sensed through his secret technique that Lu Xin and the others were gradually moving away, and it was about time to catch up with them.

However, just as the group was about to make their move...

Suddenly, a figure appeared nearby and quickly approached.

Li Jue immediately realized something was wrong, but by the time he reacted, countless attacks were already raining down on his head. (End of Chapter)
