As for Li Yan who was beside Shangguan Tianque, Liu Huaigu had the same idea as many others, that Mang Yan was careless and Shangguan Tianque was insidious, and had secretly ambushed such a physical cultivator who was good at extreme speed fighting, so he fell into the trap.
The main reason here is that the "Pojun Gate" strictly blocked this news, and Li Yan acted extremely quickly, and his sudden appearance seemed more like a premeditated plan.
At the same time, Liu Huaigu did not find the guest elder of the "Dragon Capturing Sect" who had escaped, so he was unable to verify Li Yan's strength.
Of course, he was not a fool, and he would not ignore Li Yan's role. It was just that he came out this time to avenge a personal vendetta, and he did not notify other members of the sect to help.
Therefore, he found some of his good friends. He felt that it would be enough for two people to work together to kill Li Yan, and he and another person would have no problem dealing with Shangguan Tianque.
He guessed that Li Yan would die soon. In fact, there were four people who surrounded and killed Shangguan Tianque together. This kind of confidence definitely gave them a great chance of winning.
Even if he could defeat him so that only his Nascent Soul was left escaping, he would spread the news. With Ren Yanyu being the only one left in the Pojun Sect, the other sects around would probably not be able to sit back and relax anymore.
This is a series of events that lead to another. It would be best to kill Shangguan Tianque. If he is seriously injured, the "Pojun Gate" will also come to an end.
At the same time, he also guessed that Shangguan Tianque came to the market this time to collect elixirs or raw materials for the impact of the Divine Transformation Realm. Of course, he also wanted these things, and he also needed them.
Liu Huaigu was not the grand elder in the "Qingyang Temple", so he could not use all the resources of a sect to collect elixirs or raw materials for himself. His wealth was still far less than that of Shangguan Tianque.
Especially after the other party took over the "Qinlong Sect"'s territory, they plundered the resources of the entire sect.
Therefore, Liu Huaigu wanted to kill people and seize treasures, killing two birds with one stone.
But just when he had made his plan and found helpers, the night before the auction started, two masked men in red robes suddenly came to his residence.
Liu Huaigu was surprised and confused by the sudden visit of the two strange monks, but in the market, he was not afraid that the other party would dare to do anything bad to him, so he met the two after thinking about it.
But the first words these two said when they met made Liu Huaigu immediately alert, and he was even shocked.
They stared at Liu Huaigu, and after one of them confirmed his identity, he directly sent him a message that was unexpected.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you are looking for help, right? Are you going to deal with Shangguan Tianque and the other two?"
Liu Huaigu was suddenly filled with shock and anger. He had no idea where these two people came from and how they were following him secretly, and he knew nothing about it.
Doesn't that mean that if the other party wanted to harm him, he would have no idea about it? How could he not be shocked and angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"You, are you trying to stir up trouble? I don't know what grudge you have against Shangguan Tianque, but don't try to test my bottom line, humph!"
In an instant, Liu Huaigu's mind raced. He thought that these two masked and red-robed guests might be the people Shangguan Tianque had found. Did they come to test him after discovering something wrong?
After hearing what Liu Huaigu said, the masked man in red robe continued to transmit messages to him, and there was no fluctuation in his voice.
"We came to find Fellow Daoist Liu out of sincerity. Otherwise, we could have told Shangguan Tianque about your search for the other three people."
"Are you following me? What are you trying to do? Please give me an explanation. Besides, I am just looking for some Taoist friends to reminisce about the past. It is better for you two not to talk about such things without thinking!"
This time Liu Huaigu was really surprised. The other party pointed out that he had not told Shangguan Tianque about this matter, but he had really been following him.
He actually knew that I had found three people. If it was Shangguan Tianque, he would not have come here to point it out specifically. This was just a reminder to me. Instead, he would have been thinking about how to get rid of me.
He could also clearly sense the cultivation levels of the two people opposite him. They were both cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, the same as himself. They could know his actions, so their methods were really advanced.
"Haha, there's no point in saying anything else. We have the same goal and sincerely want to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Liu. Shangguan Tianque is also our enemy."
"Is he your enemy?"
Liu Huaigu slowly regained his composure and looked at the two people in front of him with suspicion, but it was obvious that the two were unwilling to explain the reason.
Afterwards, a masked man in a red robe revealed some information about Shangguan Tianque, saying that he would probably leave within three to five days after the auction, and they also said that they were sure they could find the whereabouts of Shangguan Tianque and the other man...
Afterwards, Shangguan Tianque found out during the soul search that Liu Huaigu still had not admitted that he wanted to target them both, and was still constantly testing him.
Until the end, the other party promised to kill himself and Li Yan, and they would not take any of the treasures on their bodies. After saying that he only wanted revenge, they left.
Before leaving, he left a message saying that cooperation between the two sides would only benefit Liu Huaigu.
Otherwise, if they took action themselves, as long as they felt someone approaching with unclear intentions, they might kill any monk who approached.
They let Liu Huaigu think the matter through and then tell them on the morning of the auction, and they will contact Liu Huaigu again.
What happened afterwards eventually led to the current outcome.
"Why did those two masked red-robed guests want to deal with me? There are at least powerful beings above the Spiritual Transformation Realm behind them, but there are too many such sects in the Immortal Spirit Realm to count.
My junior sister and I have been fighting all the way here, and it has been bloody and stormy. I don’t even remember how many people we have killed. Maybe one of them is the descendant of a powerful person…”
Shangguan Tianque was communicating with Li Yan while analyzing his own thoughts, and Li Yan suddenly spoke.
“The power behind him shouldn’t be too strong, otherwise he wouldn’t have to come and kill you like this, but would have come directly to your door, which would have been more straightforward.
The reason for this sneak attack may be that they are concerned about the Blood Lantern Sect, and the strongest people in the Blood Lantern Sect are five powerful people in the God Transformation Realm..."
When Shangguan Tianque heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Li Yan's analysis made a lot of sense, but he felt a little confused and wanted to find out who was behind the attempt to kill him!
The two of them analyzed the situation and moved forward quickly.
There were no other clues afterwards. The key was the two dead masked men in red robes, whose martial arts could not be traced.
Moreover, there was only a storage ring left. After checking, Li Yan found that there were only tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones in it besides a few bottles of pills.
This is obviously totally inconsistent with the identity of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The two guessed that before the two masked and red-robed men came out, they must have left their most commonly used magic weapons and the rest of their belongings somewhere.
Although they may feel that they will not fail in this mission, they should still follow orders or be cautious. In the end, they only carry a few necessary items with them.
After Li Yan and the other two looked at the bottles of pills, they found that three of them should contain poison, and the remaining two were fifth-grade qi-replenishing and healing pills, which were still useful for Nascent Soul cultivators.
After Shangguan Tianque identified them one by one, he still couldn't figure out the origins of the five bottles of pills.
These pills can still be bought in the market by spending some spirit stones. Since the other party is so careful, they will definitely not leave any clues in this matter. Shangguan Tianque began to try to lock down some areas, which were some sects that he could remember, perhaps he had offended in the past or accidentally...
On a mountain covered with dense jungle, the crescent moon is hanging high in the sky and the sky is full of stars.
In the night, in addition to the various insect sounds coming from the jungle, there are also different monsters roaring in the distance. In this quiet night, the depth and unknown of this place are even more apparent.
At the foot of the mountain, there stood huge trees. These trees were very close to each other, and their dense branches and leaves intertwined with each other, almost completely blocking the light of the stars and the moon in the sky, making the ground below shrouded in darkness.
The shortest of these giant trees is thirty or four feet tall, while the tallest ones can even reach over twenty feet.
At this moment, on one of the giant trees that was more than ten feet high, a horizontal branch as thick as an adult's waist stretched out to one side, and on it was a person sitting cross-legged quietly.
Under the dense branches and leaves, where it was pitch dark, his figure was in a state of integration, and his aura blended with the surroundings.
If a monk could see his figure clearly, he would see that he was a tall young man with brown bloodstains on his robe.
He has been here for nearly two days. If he waits for another day and still doesn't see the person he is waiting for, he will leave.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and on the top of a distant mountain, a ball of light emitting a hazy white light fell rapidly.
Then, two figures appeared in the white light. Before they landed, two spiritual senses were already faintly spreading out in all directions.
The young man who was sitting cross-legged on the tree suddenly brightened up his eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes. In his heart, he actually no longer held much hope, and the only thing left was the idea of one last try.
In his opinion, there was a high chance that one of the two men could escape with his Nascent Soul, which would be good enough. If only the Nascent Soul was left, it would never come here again. The other party might even be afraid that he would harm the Nascent Soul.
The young man still had no intention of going out immediately, but quietly observed in the dark. He was afraid that the enemy had set a trap, and he was not sure he could see through some illusions.
It was only after a hard fight that the young man finally got rid of the pursuit of two monks of the same level. He was also injured. Similarly, one of the other two was seriously injured, and the other one also became wary of him.
But the young man didn't dare to chase the other party, for fear that the other party might have a late Nascent Soul cultivator chasing him.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Donglin, come out!"
Shangguan Tianque's voice came from the top of the mountain. He didn't want to waste any more time investigating...
A hundred breaths later, the "White Jade Boat" turned into a streak of white light and flew towards the sky at a high speed. On the boat, Dong Lin Tingyue, who had transformed into a handsome young man, was still looking the two of them up and down repeatedly.
After confirming the identities of the two, Shangguan Tianque simply explained the reason. They escaped only after they had finally gotten rid of their opponents.
As for the means of escape, every cultivator has his own trump card. Although Dong Lin Tingyue was very curious, it was not easy to ask.
"Are those people the helpers Liu Huaigu found?"
“That should be correct.”
Shangguan Tianque said that he was very impressed with Dong Lin Tingyue for being able to escape the siege of two Nascent Souls of the same level, but the Donglin family was good at taming beasts, and the other party must have a powerful spiritual beast.
He had a pretty good relationship with the great elder of the other clan. If Dong Lin Tingyue died, he would have to go there in person and explain things to the other party to avoid any misunderstandings between the two families.
"By the way, those two masked and red-robed men seem mysterious. We may be able to tell where they came from. After all, they are two great monks in the late stage. We still have to be careful on the rest of our journey."
Dong Lin Tingyue said seemingly casually.
"Neither Elder Li nor I noticed, but one of them was driving a 'blood jade snake spider'..."
Shangguan Tianque was curious about the origins of the two people, and of course he wanted to know who they were. After hearing Donglin Tingyue's question, he couldn't help but start describing it.
He wanted to see if the other party could discover anything through the path of the monster.
He didn't say that they had killed these people because he didn't know who was plotting against him. For now, it was better for fewer people to know about it.
As for the fact that the news of Liu Huaigu’s death will still spread in the future, Dong Lin Tingyue should be able to guess the real reason, but that is a matter for the future.
After he described the characteristics of the other party's martial arts, Dong Lin Tingyue thought for a while and finally shook his head.
“In my impression, I know some cultivators who control the ‘Blood Jade Snake Spider’, but I have never seen a cultivator whose consciousness is so integrated with a spirit beast.
Besides, I haven’t been in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time. I only know Liu Gu, but I’m not too familiar with him. I can’t deduce any other information from him!”
Speaking of this, Dong Lin Tingyue seemed to be lost in thought.
In response, Shangguan Tianque and Li Yan just looked at each other. The power behind the masked red-robed man is powerful. Since all aspects are taken into account, it is normal that Dong Lin Tingyue also finds it difficult to see the clues.
During the rest of the journey, the three of them became more cautious. Shangguan Tianque was not just doing this for Dong Lin Tingyue to see.
But after discussing with Li Yan, he felt that even if Liu Huaigu died, the person behind the masked red-robed man might appear and set an ambush again.
Therefore, this flight avoided the original route and made a big circle. It took more than 20 days before it entered the sphere of influence of "Pojunmen".
It was not until the three of them actually flew into the sect's formation that they all breathed a sigh of relief and revealed their true expressions.
Afterwards, Shangguan Tianque hurriedly arranged Dong Lin Tingyue's residence, and then left with Ren Yanyu, who had a frosty face.
After hearing about the ambush of Liu Huaigu from the Qingyang Temple, Ren Yanyu immediately wanted to go to his house, but Shangguan Tianque comforted her first and then took her away to explain again.
The person is dead, and you still come to my house. Isn't it obvious that you want to make a strong enemy
He had also made plans that he would never admit this matter before he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm.
Even if two of the other monks escaped, based on the information obtained from the soul search, those two had no idea of the origins of the masked man in red robe.
In addition, his side was weak at the time, and the people who ambushed his side concealed their faces. If someone came forward and said that it was him who did it, Shangguan Tianque would definitely report it to the "Blood Lamp Sect". So it was your "Qingyang Temple" who did it
He and Li Yan had managed to escape with great difficulty, and were just about to settle the score, but you admitted it.
And in the end, who knows where Liu Huaigu and the masked man in red robe ended up
After the three of them arrived at "Pojun Gate", Dong Lin Tingyue might have been embarrassed to let the tired Li Yan set out again immediately.
Therefore, he should stay for a few days before leaving with Li Yan.
Li Yan hurriedly greeted Ren Yanyu, whispered a few words to Dong Lin Tingyue, and returned to the cave to check what he had gained this time!
