"It is this matter. This matter has caused undercurrents in the four major sects. Although my 'Return to the Past' shops are spread throughout the areas under the jurisdiction of the four major sects, it does not belong to any of your four major sects. However, the senior cultivators at the top of the shops still have close contacts with the four major sects. In addition, our great elder has a close relationship with a top cultivator in your Wuliang Sect, so this cooperation is possible."
"You mean, your great elder has a close relationship with the Divine Transformation cultivator of our sect?" Li Yan was shocked and asked. He had heard Li Wuyi once speculate that there might have been Divine Transformation cultivators in the Wuliang Sect.
"This... I don't know. Is it the Nascent Soul or the Spiritual Incarnation? I am not very clear about our great elder's cultivation level, but I know that he is very strong, especially strong!" Su Hong thought for a while and said while biting her red lips.
"You don't belong to any force, you are no longer from the Wild Moon Continent." Li Yan calmed down the shock in his heart and thought of one thing.
Su Hong did not answer this time, but just smiled. "I hope you don't speculate, and don't tell others the results of your speculation. Otherwise, even if the senior leaders of your sect know, they will also issue a gag order to you. If I didn't need to explain things to you and there were some secrets, I wouldn't have explained it in such detail to "Returning Home." Su Hong said this, but she had another set of words in her mind. Her life was in the hands of the other party just now, and she could have avoided death. Would she let Li Yan kill her directly for some secrets? She was not that stupid. Moreover, the four major sects were shrinking their forces during this period. Those who could be sent out must be the elite disciples of the sect, just like the intelligence she got, Wang Lang of the Ten-Step Courtyard was in Yuguan City. The disciples of the Wuliang Sect must be carrying out tasks similar to hers. Such people certainly know the importance of their own affairs and are not the kind of people who speak nonsense casually.
This surprised Li Yan again. It seemed that the sect had a close relationship with Guiqulaixi, but they had never revealed any of it to the outside world. That was why he had never heard of it in the sect over the years. Even his two senior brothers didn't mention it when they went to Peiyang Market last time. They must have known nothing about it.
"I received the notice from above half a month ago, and then I received this token sent by your sect personally, asking us to assist in investigating some things. What I am responsible for is to collect the anomalies that appear in the major auction houses and the market. Of course, only we are more suitable to do this kind of thing. If something abnormal happens, we must stop it without leaving any trace if we don't have time to communicate with the Wuliang Sect. However, since the monks of the four major sects will also send elites out to collect information, and the activities of that unknown force have become more and more frequent and their actions have become more and more blatant recently, your sect will need to provide some convenience. This token can tell whether there are monks from the Wuliang Sect nearby. If I don't have enough manpower on my side, or encounter danger, I will also find the nearby Wuliang Sect monks to ask for help. This token is of course the evidence. The person who sent the token said that as long as the monks of your sect see this token, they will believe it.
I appeared in Yuguan City a few days ago because I received a message... "Speaking of this, Su Hong suddenly looked strange, and then lowered his head in deep thought without saying a word.
Li Yan's spiritual sense was always on guard within a thousand-mile radius, and no outsiders had broken in so far, so he was not in a hurry and just waited for the other party to continue explaining.
"Senior Brother, are you the cultivator who was bidding for the Crystal Bone Water in the back row of the hall at the Singing Clothes Party a few days ago?" Su Hong suddenly changed the subject, which made Li Yan stunned. He then secretly sighed in his heart that this woman's mind was really admirable.
Previously, when he eavesdropped on the conversation between Su Hong and the beautiful woman in green gauze, the two women guessed each other's identities in the singing club, and Su Hong also said that she probably knew the identities of the other boxes. Then, when the crystal bone water appeared, he was the only one who said it twice. Just with this little clue, Su Hong connected it to himself again.
Li Yan no longer concealed it. He nodded, but still remained silent.
"Then did you come to the Changyi Club in Yuguan City because you got some news?" Su Hong asked with some doubt. She had not received any news from the Wuliang Sect before coming to Yuguan City, otherwise she would not have brought people here. When she got the news, it was too late to inform the Wuliang Sect, so she could only go by herself.
“Oh, no, I was just out for something else and passed by here. The Crystal Bone Water is what I need personally. Well, you just give the Crystal Bone Water to me…” Li Yan didn’t continue speaking, but looked at the other party quietly. If this thing was in his hands, he would not want to hand it over even if the sect wanted it, but it was obvious that the sect also needed this thing, but…, was he really going to kill the person in front of him
"It turns out that senior brother has another mission. The woman never said whether it was for the Crystal Bone Water, Tianmen Sand or the eyes of the Level 2 Golden Dragon Python. However, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome..." Su Hong blinked her beautiful eyes and said, but seeing that Li Yan was still looking at her without saying a word, she suddenly smiled.
"But I said that I was defeated, so I took out three treasures, destroyed them and threw them out. After diverting the enemy's attention, I took the opportunity to escape. What's the harm? Anyway, these treasures can only be handed over to your Wuliang Sect, and they will pay me the spirit stones according to the price. I am not a disciple of your Wuliang Sect. I just helped secretly. Besides, I am very grateful to you for saving my life before." Su Hong said seriously at last.
Li Yan thought about it, and what Su Hong said was true. The beautiful woman in green gauze might not come for the crystal bone water, and it was hard to say whether the other party was the mysterious force. Maybe the other party just needed one of the three things to make the weapon. Moreover, he did not reveal his appearance from beginning to end, and he held it in his palm when he took out the sect token just now. Based on this alone, when he returned to the sect, the crystal bone water should have been used up. Even if the sect investigated, he denied it. Could it be that the Yuanying ancestor really searched his soul? This is not a rare treasure. The importance of this can be inferred from the fact that the Wuliang Sect did not know about the auction.
"Okay then, I'll just pay you 150,000 spirit stones. I have important things to attend to, so I can't stay long." Li Yan said as he stretched out his hand to pat the storage bag, and then his spiritual consciousness quietly communicated with Tu Ban, preparing to take out the spirit stones. Since the other party had recognized his identity, he couldn't be a robber.
But at the same time, Su Hong hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I have already said before that you saved my life, how can I accept this little bit of spiritual stones? Wouldn't that make me feel no gratitude at all? And I think that just hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones are not enough, so let's give you Tianmen Sand and the eyes of the second-level golden dragon python." As she said that, she waved her jade hand, and two more rays of light flashed, and then two jade boxes appeared in her jade palm, and then flew in front of Li Yan. "This?" Looking at the jade box that slowly flew in front of him, Li Yan couldn't help but hesitate. He actually felt that he had evened it out after taking the crystal bone water. He didn't know what the crystal bone water did to others, but for him, it was an important material for refining his life magic weapon.
"Brother, please don't be polite. This is my true heart and not false. Besides, I also said that these three things were destroyed when I was escaping." Su Hong's beautiful eyes revealed sincerity.
"Well, then I would like to thank you here!" Li Yan was no longer polite when seeing this. Of course, the more treasures the better. Although he has not yet clearly defined the purpose of using these two materials, such a good thing is hard to come by.
Seeing Li Yan accept the things, Su Hong felt relieved. She bit her red lips and said, "Brother, are you going back to the Wuliang Sect?"
After hearing this, Li Yan glanced at Su Hong. He knew what she was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not returning to the sect, but I have something else to do. Where are you going now? If it is on my way, I can go with you. But if it is not in the direction I am going, then let's choose a more remote place now. You can meditate and recover, and I will stay here to protect you for a while."
After taking other people's things and leaving an injured woman here, Li Yan felt a little embarrassed to leave directly, so he decided to help others to the end.
"Well...thank you very much, senior brother. I just want to find a teleportation point and then teleport to the nearest city where Guiqulaixi is." Su Hong was delighted. She didn't expect that this cultivator from the Wuliang Sect was so sensible. Even if he just walked away, she wouldn't be able to say anything. After all, he had saved her once. Although he had his own purpose, he did save her from a Jindan cultivator.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel strange. The cultivator from the Wuliang Sect was a poison cultivator, so why was this person's body so strong that he could fight against a Jindan cultivator and even have a slight upper hand
"But I have never heard that the Wuliang Sect's body cultivation method can be so powerful. Maybe they don't want to pass on their secret techniques, so they keep them secret from the outside world." Su Hong thought.
"There is no teleportation point nearby. You need to fly another 10,000 or 20,000 miles to the north or east to find one. There is one to the south, but that means going back to Yuguan City, which is contrary to the direction I want to go. Going east is also not an option because we escaped from that direction." Li Yan looked at Su Hong.
"Even if we go south, it won't work. I was ambushed there, and I don't know what the final battle situation was there. I'd better go north with my brother. I'm sorry to trouble you." Su Hong thought for a while.
"Okay, then we'll head north." Li Yan nodded, then looked Su Hong up and down, and saw that the beauty in front of him looked haggard, and she seemed to be barely holding on after talking to him for such a long time. He shook his head. Although Su Hong had recovered a little this day, it was just a little healing on the way, and the situation was not very good.
"Let's find a place to heal first. If you don't recover from your current injuries, you may have hidden injuries, and it will take longer to recover in the future."
"Thank you, Brother!" Su Hong looked at Li Yan gratefully. Although she knew that what she saw was just a false face, she was still very grateful in her heart. She knew her own injuries, but she did not dare to ask Li Yan to stay before.
Before this, Li Yan could only choose one of the two conditions: protect her and then accompany her to a safe place.
Li Yan retracted his consciousness that was scattered outside and said, "Let's find a new place. I think you can heal your wounds in peace in half an hour."
Li Yan did not delay any longer, and with a wave of his sleeves, Su Hong flew straight into the sky. They flew thousands of miles to the northwest, and finally chose a place they thought was temporarily safe to stop.
