The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Xiao Se was taken aback; someone had followed them! He turned around.

The city gate was completely empty.

Speechless, he knew that Lei Wujie, that little idiot, was having another fit of hysteria!

"Alright, you little idiot, stop hysterical, let's go!"

After Xiao Se finished speaking, he rode his horse and charged out first, with Lei Wujie following closely behind!

"Alright!" Tang Lian flicked her whip and shouted softly, "Giddy up!"

The two horses neighed loudly in unison, dragging the carriage as they headed towards the Tang Clan's location.

And so, Li Xiuyuan and his group headed toward the location of the Tang Clan.

Time flew by, and two days later, Li Xiuyuan and his group were less than a hundred miles away from the Tang family, where the Tang Clan was located.

It's late at night, and it's not safe to walk at night.

At Xiao Se's suggestion, Li Xiuyuan and his group arrived at a post station to rest.

This suggestion was approved by a group of people, and they soon arrived at the nearest post station.

The inn was not large, and there were not many rooms.

The only advantage is safety; there won't be any wild animals or anything like that.

Li Xiuyuan was lying on the roof of the carriage, eating dog meat and drinking fine wine, feeling quite content, when he suddenly saw Li Hanyi coming over and standing on the roof of the carriage.

Li Xiuyuan was immediately puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Li Xiuyuan, don't you find this strange?" Li Hanyi said calmly, "There's something wrong with this post station!"

"Actually, there have been problems all along the way!" Li Xiuyuan didn't seem to care at all. He sat up from the roof of the carriage, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light! Let them see what they want from the shadows. If they dare to show their faces, then we'll leave it to you!"

Li Hanyi was somewhat speechless and said, "Leave it to me? Then what will you do?"

"Of course, I have more important things to do!" Li Xiuyuan said with a grin. "I'll do two things: first, I'll guarantee you can fight them one-on-one! Second, I'll heal you when you're about to be beaten to death!"

Li Hanyi was even more puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't you make a move?"

"There's a very important reason why I, the monk, haven't made a move!" Li Xiuyuan said to Li Hanyi with a serious expression, "That is... I'm too lazy to do it!"

Li Hanyi: "..."

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Li Xiuyuan in front of her was extremely annoying and deserved a beating!

I really want to punch him.

On the other side, Xiao Se, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie and a few others were sitting at the table eating.

The waiter quickly brought the noodles over.

Wow! It smells so good!

Lei Wujie couldn't resist any longer and picked up his bowl to eat, but Xiao Se stopped him.

"Wait a minute, you little blockhead!"

Xiao Se grabbed Lei Wujie's hand and frowned!

The food smells weird!

Tang Lian was certain that the food was poisoned, but said with some surprise, "Poisoning... and such a clumsy trick! The smell of some kind of sleeping potion... no, the aroma is off. Sleeping potion is used to mask this aroma!"

Tang Lian's expression changed drastically; she hadn't expected to fall into a pit here.

Normal people would put poison in food, but this killer did the opposite.

The heat of the food allows toxins to evaporate into the air.

The moment you smell the odor, it's like you've been poisoned.

Even more insidious was the fact that it contained sleeping potion. This stuff has a strong smell, which completely masked the strange fragrance. Tang Lian had to take several more sniffs before she realized what was going on!

Xiao Se reacted extremely quickly, and with a flick of his hand, several bowls of noodles on the table were sent flying.

The Penglai Pills were distributed immediately, but it was still a bit late. Even after taking the pills, the group of people still experienced dizziness and lightheadedness.

Tang Lian then said, "This poison... is the Bone-Melting Incense, which is ever-changing. Once it penetrates the body, it immediately reaches the bone marrow. Each type has its own corresponding antidote. The Penglai Pill in your hand is useless! Even experts in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm can fall for it if they are not careful!"

Tang Lian was somewhat annoyed. Dao Ji and Li Hanyi were both there; he had been a bit careless!

"It's actually Bone-Melting Incense!" Xiao Se's expression changed as he looked at the waiter and said, "This kind of poison should have been lost hundreds of years ago!"

"Hehehe! It's too late now that you've recognized me! I knew all along that there were people from the Tang Clan among you! This poison was prepared for you!" The waiter who had just served the noodles appeared in front of Xiao Se and his companions, his face full of smugness, and said, "This poisonous incense is called Bone-Melting Incense. Without an antidote, within an hour at most, all the bones in your bodies will turn into noodles!"

Who exactly are you?

Chapter 132 A Chance Encounter

Lei Wujie looked at the waiter with some anger.

The waiter shook his head and said, "Me? Never mind, you're all going to die anyway, so telling you won't hurt. I've been entrusted by the Dark River to come and take your lives!"

"Another underground river!" Xiao Se sighed and shouted to Li Xiuyuan outside the post station, "Crazy monk, if you don't make a move soon, we'll really be as soft as noodles!"

Lei Wujie also shouted loudly, "Brother-in-law, help me! Give me a few 'Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pills'!"

"These guys! They were taken down so easily!" Li Xiuyuan was speechless. He looked at himself and muttered, "I just took a shower a few days ago. Where did I get the 'Leg-Stretching and Eye-Opening Pill'? Besides, this poison... doesn't require the 'Leg-Stretching and Eye-Opening Pill'!"

"Brother-in-law? That crazy monk?" The waiter chuckled, got up and went outside the inn. His gaze fell on Li Xiuyuan, and he said, "Crazy monk, you're unlucky to have run into me!"

Li Hanyi stood quietly to the side, looking at the waiter with some curiosity, and asked, "Dark River, did they send you?"

The waiter in front of me is, in the end, nothing more than a mortal being.

Come and kill two sword immortals and three Freedom Realm cultivators?

If it's an underground river, it's really hard to believe unless someone's brain is fried.

"Who sent me?" The waiter was taken aback, a guilty look appearing on his face, but he forced himself to remain calm, laughed, and said, "I've roamed the martial world for a long time, who could possibly order me around? I was just sent by Dark River to kill a few brats!"

Li Hanyi shook her head and said calmly, "No, someone must have been behind this! But... they didn't tell you the truth! They probably just had you pass on a message!"

The waiter laughed and said, "Pass on a message? I'm here to kill you!"

"You don't even know who I am, and you come to kill me?" Li Hanyi didn't take the waiter seriously at all, and slowly said, "In war, envoys are not killed! What message did Anhe send you to deliver?"

"Oh, so who are you?"

The shopkeeper made a slight movement, and some colorless and odorless medicinal powder began to spread in all directions.

How could such a small trick escape Li Hanyi's notice? With a disdainful smile, she said, "You want to use delaying tactics to get rid of me with the Bone-Melting Incense? That stuff is useless against me!"

The waiter froze.

If the Bone-Melting Incense is useless, then it can only be used by experts in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

Didn't those people in the Dark River say that only Tang Lian from the Tang Clan was available?

Suddenly, the waiter noticed Li Hanyi's sword and immediately his heart skipped a beat, his face turning pale!

Iron Horse and Ice River, one of the ten most famous swords in the martial arts world!

The current Sword Master, Snow Moon Sword Immortal, is Li Hanyi!

One of the five greatest sword immortals of our time!

Kill Li Hanyi?

Are you kidding me? How could a mouse possibly defeat a giant tiger?

His arrogance vanished instantly, and he looked at Li Hanyi with a bitter smile, saying, "I thought it was just an ordinary business to make money, but it turned out to be a death trap! But you're wrong about one thing! Dark River didn't ask me to deliver any message! He just told me to wait here and kill a Tang Clan member with a woman!"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized why Anhe was so arrogant.

After all that, it turns out this guy was there to kill Tang Lian, not to kill me and Li Hanyi.

The underground river was predicted to be a mistake.

He and Li Hanyi didn't go to the Lei family, but went to the Tang Clan first!

As for Anhe, he's probably staying on that road, just like in the original story, preparing to assassinate Li Hanyi.

Li Hanyi changed her route, directly disrupting the Dark River's plans!

The original methods need to be rearranged.

For example, the suppression formation covering a radius of dozens of miles allows experts to readjust and prepare!

Two days is definitely not enough!

As for the assassin in front of us, he's just a nobody, not even a true member of the Dark River faction.

It's estimated that they've been abandoned by the underground river!

Anyway, the assassin had no idea that Anhe was after Li Hanyi.

If Li Xiuyuan hadn't reminded Li Hanyi of the impending life-or-death crisis...

I estimate that Li Hanyi would only think so.

The assassin wanted to kill Tang Lian, but he just happened to walk right into it!

They would never even consider the possibility that someone in the Dark River would try to kill them!

"I see, I misunderstood?" Li Hanyi nodded slightly, turned to look at Tang Lian who was walking over, and said, "Since he's the one who wanted to kill you, you can handle it as you see fit."

Tang Lian looked at the waiter and her face immediately darkened.

If Daoji and Li Hanyi hadn't come along this time, and I had been with Ye Ruoyi and Tiannvrui, I might have really died at the hands of this shopkeeper.

However, Tang Lian didn't understand why Dark River wanted to kill her.

Thinking of this, Tang Lian grabbed the waiter's clothes and asked, "I want to know one thing, and that is, why did the Dark River want to kill me?"

"I don't know!" The waiter shook his head, looking at Tang Lian with some curiosity, and said, "Does killing in the Dark River... need a reason? It's just a matter of taking money to do a job!"

Tang Lian was taken aback. "Taking money to do something?"

Someone must want to kill me. But who is it?

Confused, he looked at Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan did some quick calculations and his expression immediately turned strange.
