Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Although Jiang Li was not sure whether there were undercurrents behind the calm, all he could do was wait. He had made all the preparations. He had fully comprehended the three holy talismans and could use them at any time. His cultivation was also completely stabilized at the fifth level of Refining Void. He also fully absorbed the sword energy he had comprehended on the entire Ascension Stairs.

He had tried his best to eliminate all variables. Taking advantage of the light snow, he came to the gate of Mu Xuezhi's courtyard and knocked gently.

After waiting for a long time, the door didn't open.

Jiang Li stood there for a while, waiting for about two incense sticks of time, but the door still didn't open, so he turned around without hesitation. But the moment he turned around, the door opened again. Mu Xuezhi, dressed in white, was sitting by the tea table with a calm look. She sat quietly in the wind and snow, as if she gave Jiang Li the same impression of a fairy in heaven as when he first met her.

"Why did you open the door when you are clearly in the yard?"

"Wash yourself up, you've waited a little longer, and you're out of patience?" Mu Xuezhi raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently, but Jiang Li always felt that there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in her voice. Jiang Li remembered that Mu Xuezhi's eyes could see the entire Xuantian Dao Ji Zong. Maybe this stingy woman was secretly observing what he had been doing these days!

"No, I thought you were busy, so I wanted to leave first and come back later." Jiang Li walked to sit opposite Mu Xuezhi, then picked up the teacup and took a sip naturally.

There was murderous intent in Mu Xuezhi's eyes.

"You used my teacup!"

"Don't be so stingy."

"Why don't you just die?!"

"How come you failed in just a few seconds? In the past, you could at least maintain this cold and contemptuous look for several minutes before trying to beat me to death." Jiang Li leaned close to Mu Xuezhi's eyes, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I want to kill you right now." The tip of Mu Xuezhi's spiritual sword was across Jiang Li's neck in an instant, but Jiang Li didn't even try to dodge, and there was not even a trace of panic on his face. He just looked at Mu Xuezhi's cheek with a smile in his eyes.

"I just drank a sip of tea from your cup. It's not like that's going to kill me, is it?"

"So what do you think about stabbing you twice?"

"Then how can I have a chance to die in your hands? Will I be stabbed to death if I kiss you?"

Mu Xuezhi sneered, "You can try!"

"Oh, I tried it then."

Jiang Li moved closer to her cheek. Mu Xuezhi's eyes widened. Of course, she could see Jiang Li approaching. At that moment, she wanted to retreat and escape, but she subconsciously closed her eyes because of panic. Jiang Li's hand was on her shoulder without her knowing when, holding her tightly. Is this scoundrel really desperate? Does he really think that she really doesn't dare? Does he really think that she is now a dough that he can manipulate and ravage at will? Who gave him the courage to commit a crime? He didn't really think that she was in love with him, did he? !

Many thoughts popped up in Mu Xuezhi's head at once, but they were all in a flash, and Jiang Li's kiss seemed to be in a flash as well. But one second, two seconds, when Mu Xuezhi opened her eyes again, Jiang Li had retreated far away and was pouring tea into his cup with a teapot. He took a sip leisurely, "Why are you staring at me?"

Jiang Li asked her back.

Then Jiang Li pointed at his own face, "Do I look like someone who wants to gamble my life with you? Humph, if you don't want to kiss me, then don't kiss me. I'll go kiss Bingning this afternoon."

Mu Xuezhi took a deep breath, picked up the teacup, and poured all the tea in the cup onto his face.

Jiang Li seemed to have expected this. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tea off his face without looking embarrassed at all. "What? Are you angry when I kiss Mu Bingning? Not only do I want to kiss her, I also want to hug her in my arms."

The next second, Jiang Li was thrown out of Mu Bingning's courtyard by the flick of her sleeves after she took a deep breath.

----------

ps: I want to withdraw what I said yesterday. I'd better ask for monthly votes for my new book. I kowtow to you, bang bang bang.

It is normal to like Jiang Xiaoli's book but not the new book, because the two have completely different male protagonists and tell completely different stories. But for the joy that Jiang Xiaoli brings you, please vote for the new book, Qiuqiuer, it is really important to me.

Chapter 279: Chapter Makes it look like the real thing

Jiang Xiaoli is only naughty occasionally.

After being swept to the ground by Mu Xuezhi's spiritual energy, he got up, shook off the dust on his body, came back to the gate of Mu Xuezhi's courtyard, gently pushed the door open, and walked in.

Mu Xuezhi glanced at him calmly, "Are you here to get beaten?"

"No, let's talk business." Jiang Li sat opposite Mu Xuezhi, put away his nonchalant look, and became serious. "I have already comprehended the three holy talismans that Ye Chen gave me. When the time comes...how about I deal with Jiang Xing, and you deal with Jiang Mian?"

Jiang Xing is the leader of the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect, and is at the Half-Step Saint stage, while Mu Xuezhi is only at the tenth level of the Mahayana stage. Mu Xuezhi's eyelashes did not tremble at all, "I am confident that I can fight Jiang Xing. Even if I can't kill him, being evenly matched with him is enough. Just help me by dealing with Jiang Xing as soon as possible."

Jiang Li had no choice but to stop forcing himself. The situation was changing rapidly at that time, and it would be too late to just talk about it. In less than two days, they would set off for the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect. Jiang Li always felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. After all, it had been so long since the Blood Soul Pearl was destroyed, and the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect had not taken any action.

There was no point in worrying anymore. Mu Xuezhi raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked him, "Do you have a weapon that you can use?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded.

Mu Xuezhi was using a top-grade spiritual sword at the moment, and Jiang Li now had two swords in total, one of which was the Xuehua Sword, but it was of the Heavenly Rank, and was eliminated by Mu Xuezhi. The remaining sword was the relic of Bai Sheng's mother, and this sword...

Jiang Li took out the sword and held it in his hand. The sword was only of lower yellow grade. Mu Xuezhi looked at it with a little confusion. When Jiang Li's sword power began to rise steadily, the aura of the sword also began to rise, crossing the Dihuang Xuantian and directly entering the realm of supreme grade. When Jiang Li activated the Zhantian sword power again and stimulated all the sword powers that he had mastered, the aura of the spirit sword in his hand jumped to the peak of supreme grade.

A top-grade spiritual sword would be coveted even by a Saint. The value of this sword is no longer measured in spiritual stones. Mu Xuezhi asked with a little curiosity, "Where did you get this sword?"

"Borrowed from Junior Sister Bai Sheng."

"Bai Sheng?" Mu Xuezhi naturally knew this name. She frowned slightly, recalling everything about Bai Sheng's mother. This sword... is not something above the Xuantian Dao Ji Zong.

"Yeah." Jiang Li nodded slightly.

In the past, he had never thought that this sword could catalyze to such an extent. Jiang Li even had a vague intuition that... this seemed not to be the peak of the sword.

..........................................

One day later, the annual sect competition began in Xuantian Daoji Sect.

The purpose of the sect competition for inner disciples is to select two people to participate in the Zhongzhou competition. Each of the three major sects will eventually select two people. The battle that many disciples talked about with relish in this inner sect competition is naturally between the Ice Fairy Mu Bingning and Jiang Jinbie, who only entered the inner sect recently but quickly became famous in the inner sect. The sword fight between the two attracted the most attention.

Jiang Jin had a special understanding of the sword's power. Jiang Li was eating dried fruits in the audience, watching the battle on the arena seriously. He had actually guessed the outcome in his mind. The final result was just as he expected, with Mu Bingning slightly winning.

Mu Bingning's cultivation level is the same as Jiang Jinbie's, both have passed the sixth level of the minor tribulation. Jiang Jinbie's sword power was originally better, but because of her cold veins, if she used too much spiritual energy, she would be infected by the cold veins, and her body would become stiff. Before the sword fight, Jiang Li told her to just compete casually and not to hurt herself. Jiang Jinbie was very obedient this time and admitted defeat after dozens of rounds.

So Mu Bingning got the first internal spot, and the second spot naturally went to Jiang Li who stepped onto the stage. Jiang Li glanced at Mu Bingning and asked, "Do you want to compete again?"

To Jiang Li's surprise, Mu Bingning nodded seriously, "Yes."

So Jiang Li raised his hand, and the falling snowflakes condensed into a magic sword in his hand. During the next three incense sticks of time, everyone could see that the two of them were not so much discussing swordsmanship as Jiang Li was teaching Mu Bingning moves. However, this time Jiang Li was much more obedient and honest. He did not swing the magic sword towards Mu Bingning's buttocks. Such a stupid thing must be done secretly by two people. Mu Bingning's cheeks flushed, and she refused to admit defeat and showed a helpless expression. Of course, only he could see it.

Jiang Li is so stingy.

From beginning to end, Jiang Li did not hide his cultivation level, because there was no point in hiding it now. He was powerless with his foundation-building cultivation level before, but it also avoided a lot of trouble. His current cultivation level of the fifth level of refining emptiness had surpassed 99% of the cultivators in Xuantian Dao Ji Zong. Only some masters of Jianshan or elders had higher cultivation levels than him, but there were not many people with higher cultivation levels than him and they might not be able to defeat him.

In fact, Jiang Li had a little unreal feeling about his current level of cultivation. He couldn't even remember how he had acquired this level of cultivation. He just remembered that he seemed to have jumped a few levels at a time, and finally reached the fifth level of Refining Void.

When Jiang Li looked down at the audience, he realized that it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was staring at his face blankly. No one had ever thought that his cultivation level... would be the fifth level of the Void Refining Realm? He was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage a few months ago, how did he suddenly become the fifth level of the Void Refining Realm?

You should know that Zhao Qingshan is only at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Zhao Qingshan was Jiang Li’s first master.

"Jiang Li, you..." Zhao Qingshan couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He looked at Jiang Li on the stage for a long time without coming back to his senses. Jiang Li scratched his head and said, "Master, this brings honor to Yangjian Sect, right?"

Zhao Qingshan was speechless. Suddenly, cheers from the Yangjian Sect disciples rang out from the audience. They then remembered that Jiang Li was still from Hidden Sword Peak. Although he was almost kicked out of Hidden Sword Peak, at least... he was still a legitimate disciple of the Yangjian Sect of Hidden Sword Peak.

Jiang Li looked at the countless envious glances from the audience, as well as the admiring looks from his junior and senior sisters, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

Some time ago, he burned all of his booklets in front of Bai Sheng. There were originally more than thirty goals in the booklet, but Jiang Li found it boring as he was flipping through it that day, so he simply burned it. Junior Sister Bai Sheng happily rewarded him by allowing him to pinch Tuan Tuan, and then Jiang Li pinched Tuan many times.

In fact, it’s not a pity that he can’t hook up with his junior and senior sisters in the future, but it’s a pity that he spent a lot of effort on making that strategy. Jiang Li walked down the sword-fighting stage. At this moment, the places for the Zhongzhou competition have been determined, Jiang Li and Mu Bingning.

................................................

The next day.

The quota has been decided, so the day of departure has naturally arrived. Mu Xuezhi had already started the spirit boat early, but Jiang Li arrived a little late. He yawned and stepped onto the spirit boat.

"You are at least two incense sticks late."

"I don't want to do that either." Jiang Li answered innocently.

Mu Bingning, who was sitting on the edge of the deck, glanced at Jiang Li indifferently and said nothing.

Jiang Li didn't want to be late, but when he woke up, Yue Ji was already on top of him. Yue Ji, who had tasted the sweetness of sex, especially liked to seduce actively, and then was bullied by Jiang Xiaoli until she couldn't breathe. It was just that Jiang Xiaoli was too sympathetic to her in the previous few times. Now Yue Ji should be lying on the bed with flushed cheeks and even her fingertips without any strength.

Yue Ji has a particularly strange hobby. She especially likes to practice dual cultivation with Jiang Li while wearing clothes, and then watch her clothes get dirty.

There was a white cat lying on Jiang Li's shoulder. He had not planned to bring the white cat with him, but the white cat jumped onto his shoulder by itself and said stubbornly, "I'll go too."

"what are you going to do?"

"If you get beaten to death, I'll collect your body."

"Thank you."

Jiang Li finally brought Dabai along. He always felt that Dabai was mysterious and might be hiding some big secret.

It only takes one day for the spirit boat to reach the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect, and they will arrive in the evening. On the way to the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect, Mu Xuezhi and his group also happened to encounter another huge spirit boat. On that spirit boat were Ye Guixu and Ye Linglong. They naturally followed Ye Chen. The two jumped onto Jiang Li's spirit boat, and then were caught by Jiang Li to play mahjong. Since there were three people missing one, Jiang Li pushed Mu Bingning onto a chair and taught her how to play. Mu Bingning had good luck today and won a lot of spirit stones. Mu Xuezhi just watched silently from the side. She was the elder, so naturally she had to put on some airs. It was weird to play with a few juniors.

In the evening, the group arrived at the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect together. However, the moment they entered the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect's territory, Jiang Li frowned slightly.

Mu Xuezhi noticed his abnormality, but she didn't feel anything strange, so she sent a telepathic message to Jiang Li, "What's wrong?"

"There is a Saint-level formation operating underground in the Dark Moon Blood Demon Sect."

He removed the restrictions on the Dark Moon Immortal, and the Dark Moon Immortal also removed the restrictions on Jiang Li's perception of the formations in his head. Jiang Li mainly didn't have time now. If he had time, he could study many of those holy-level formations and talismans in his head. Those were the greatest treasures left by the Dark Moon Immortal. Now he sensed the holy-level formation of the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect, and there was a faint flow of blood in this formation.

"It seems like they have been prepared for this." Jiang Li silently transmitted a message to Mu Xuezhi.

Jiang Li said that it didn't make sense for the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect to have been silent for so long. The Blood Soul Sect had been destroyed for more than half a month. Now they had already activated the Saint-level formation in advance and hid it. Perhaps this Zhongzhou competition itself was the Hongmen Banquet.

The spirit boat landed over the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect. Jiang Li came to the familiar foot of the mountain again. After saying something to Mu Xuezhi, he went to Jiang Huanyang's courtyard. There was still no news that Jiang Huanyang had returned. To this day, Jiang Huanyang was nowhere to be found. Jiang Li came to the gate of Jiang Chuyue's courtyard, but when he walked to the gate, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked Jiang Li's way.

"Who is it?" The man was wearing a black robe, with a deep voice and an aura of cultivation. Jiang Li didn't recognize it at first glance, which meant that he was taller than him. Jiang Li stood there, "Xuan Tian Dao Ji Zong, Jiang Li, come to visit the Saintess of the First Moon."

"The Sect Master has ordered that Saint Maiden Chu Yue will not see anyone during this period of time."

"What if I must see you?" Jiang Li's eyes gradually became sharper.

The man opposite did not retreat at all. He took out the array plate hanging on his waist and said in a cold voice, "Kill without mercy."

The moment he said these four words, Jiang Li's sword had already pierced his throat. The next moment, sword lights appeared in the sky, and Jiang Li finally sensed the opponent's cultivation aura, which was the tenth level of the Refining Void Realm.

But it was only for a moment, because in another moment, Jiang Li severed his heart meridians, destroyed his qi sea, and he knelt down at the door dying.

Jiang Li walked past him into the room and muttered softly, "It's made to look just like the real thing."

ps: I've been feeling quite emo recently and I'm now in tears. Thank you all for voting for my new book. You are the best readers.

Chapter 280: Chapter : The First Level of the Supreme Saint

Walking through the corridor in the courtyard, Jiang Li saw Jiang Chuyue by the pond.

Jiang Chuyue was still sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a plain white dress. The moment she saw Jiang Li, her pupils widened and she became a little flustered. After several seconds, she whispered, "How... did you get in?"

"The guard at the door was severely injured by me, so he came in." Jiang Li walked to her side.

Jiang Chuyue seemed to become incoherent. She stared at Jiang Li's face. After several seconds, she said intermittently, "You, you shouldn't have come..."

"Now that I'm here." Jiang Li reached out and rubbed her head, "Leave the rest to me."

Jiang Chuyue seemed to want to say something else, but Jiang Li's fingertips were already on her pink lips, interrupting her and continuing, "I just met your brother some time ago. He should be safe now. Don't worry."

But Jiang Chuyue's face was still full of fear. She looked behind Jiang Li. Jiang Li slowly turned around. At this moment, four elders of the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect walked into the courtyard.

Each of them has reached the tenth level of Refining Void.

....................................

"Stay away from the Saint." The leading elder was obviously a good swordsman. He slowly unsheathed the magic sword behind him and pointed the tip of the sword at Jiang Li. Unfortunately, Jiang Li would not be so obedient. He took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Chuyue.

The moment he drew his sword, there was no need for any more words. The four elders formed a formation almost instantly and stepped forward. The elder holding the sword was the center of the formation. The sword was sharp and swift, and the sword lights falling in the air were as dense as rain, but... not a single sword fell on Jiang Li.

But Jiang Li seemed to be standing there, motionless. The sword he drew out seemed to pierce through the shadow out of thin air. Before they could react, it was Jiang Li's turn to draw his sword.

Jiang Li turned his wrist and his figure was erratic. When he returned to Jiang Chuyue, the four elders had all fallen to the ground with a tiny bloody hole on their chest. When the cultivator's cultivation reached the level of Lianxu, the cultivator's body was actually indestructible. Even if the heart was pierced, it would be supported and repaired by spiritual energy in an instant. However, Jiang Li's sword was too fast, and the sword force wrapped around the blade stayed on the wound, so the wound could not heal, and the sword force would begin to erode their bodies at this moment, making them unable to move.

Jiang Li is not a killer.

Since he wielded the sword until now, he actually hasn't killed many people. In fact, most of the time, he was a little bit of a saint, and he always adhered to the concept of not killing people if it would ruin their cultivation. Even when he first met Mu Bingning and encountered those cultivators from other sects in the Zhongzhou secret realm, he only hacked them to death, and it was Mu Bingning who made the final move.

But he couldn't hold back at this moment. Even if he wanted to, the sword energy still in the four elders would surely completely destroy their heart meridians within half an incense stick of time. And the gatekeeper at the door, who had only said a few words, was probably dead.

The four elders in front of him were unable to leave behind many last words before they died, but they used their spiritual energy to trigger the alarm of the entire sect. The sky of the entire Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect became incomparably gloomy at that moment, and threads of spiritual energy spread out from the ground and entangled into a formation.

Jiang Li looked up at the gloomy sky, thinking that a storm was coming, but he saw that it was snowing heavily in the gray sky. He stretched out his hand, and snowflakes fell into his palm and melted as soon as they touched.

Snowflakes fell in front of him and on the edge of his sword, and were easily separated. Without waiting for a moment, countless people gathered in this small courtyard in an instant.

Mu Xuezhi, Ye Chen, Jiang Mian, and a group of Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect's fusion-stage priests all entered the courtyard at this moment. Mu Xuezhi appeared next to Jiang Li. Ye Chen stood on one side and watched from afar, while Jiang Mian's eyes fell on Jiang Li and Jiang Chuyue, and he sighed softly.

Jiang Mian is a little old man. His cultivation has reached their level. Appearance has no longer affected anything. If Jiang Mian wanted, he could be a handsome young man. Perhaps it is just because he has become indifferent to the world, so he no longer pays attention to the signs of time on his body. He carries a huge disc on his back, wears a gray robe, looks at Jiang Li and speaks slowly.
