Xian Zhengji shouted several times, but couldn't hear Xiao Shaojun's response. He thought to himself: "Could it be that the young master has taken that female cultivator he just caught and gone off somewhere to have some fun?" But then he reconsidered, thinking: "The young master was with someone else, so it shouldn't be something like that..."

  Yan Zheng's foundation repairman felt a little uneasy, so he released his spiritual consciousness and searched for Xiao Shaojun's aura around him.

  No sign of Xiao Shaojun could be found in the air or on the ground, so the Yan surname foundation-building cultivator began to search on the ground again.

  Spiritual consciousness swept across the mountains and forests, and found another disciple of Bi Xiang Men who was dying but still alive. However, he was also on his last breath. The foundation-building cultivator with the surname Yan didn't bother to understand this, and his spiritual consciousness continued to sweep around. Suddenly, his expression changed, and his spiritual consciousness swept back to the place it had just scanned.

  "Shaoshi Zhu!" Yan Xing's face turned pale as he realized that Xiao Shaojun had transformed back into a corpse!

  A flash of light, and Yanxing's flying boat descended to the ground beside Xiao Shaojun's corpse.

  "It's indeed the Young Master of the Split Heaven Sect!" The strict surname foundation repair cultivator only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and his hands were slightly trembling. The Young Master of the Split Heaven Sect had come out with him to chase down the enemy, but ended up dying here. He would not be able to escape responsibility when he returned.

  Sweat drops the size of beans dripped down from Yan Zheng's forehead, the person in front of him was battered beyond recognition, but it was unmistakably Xiao Shaojun, his storage bag had been taken away, and a shocking blood hole on his chest.

  Yan Zheng searched left and right, but couldn't find Li Hui and the Bi Xiang Men female cultivator who were with Xiao Shaojun. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and suspicious in his heart.

  In the Yuanchuang Xianfu, Li Hui and Han Xue stood facing each other, but neither of them knew what to say, making the atmosphere awkward for a while.

  "Miss Han, please take a seat!" Li Hui said, after all, he was the host of this place and should at least greet his guest.

  Han Xue only then began to notice that she was now seemingly situated in a pavilion, with the outside having a lake and mountains, fake hills and flying waterfalls, like the garden of a wealthy family; her heart had many doubts, but she didn't say anything, and sat down on a stone bench.

  Just then Li Hui suddenly looked up and immediately became alert, motionless as if concentrating on observing something.

  Han Xue was taken aback and looked at Li Hui with some confusion, but she knew that this was not the time to disturb him, so she sat quietly beside him.

  Through the Yuanhuan Xianfu, Li Hui clearly sensed everything that was happening around him. At this moment, a Yan surname foundation-building cultivator was outside, and beside him were several female disciples of the Bi Xiao Gate who had been kidnapped.

  Li Hui's mind was racing with thoughts, and at this moment, if he were to suddenly go out, he should have a few chances of killing the Shen surname foundation repair cultivator. However, if he couldn't successfully kill him, then the secret of his own immortal mansion would be exposed.

  Moreover, there were several Bi Xiang Men female cultivators outside. Even if they could really kill the Yan surname foundation-building cultivator, they would not be able to deal with these Bi Xiang Men female cultivators. Saving Han Xue was one aspect due to the urgency of the situation, and on the other hand, the two were also old acquaintances.

  These Bi Xiao Men female cultivators, Li Hui didn't know them, and of course couldn't guarantee that they would keep their mouths shut. If the secrets of Yuan Huan Xian Fu were to be revealed, it was possible that countless old monsters from the Yuan Ying period or even Transcending Tribulation cultivators might come out to seize the treasure. Could he really silence all of them by killing them?

  In an instant, Li Hui had already decided not to take action. He wasn't some kind of fool who would put himself in danger for the sake of people he didn't even know.

  Wai Mian Yan's heart was filled with regret, he regretted that he should not have left Xiao Shaojun for the sake of some small gains and these female cultivators. He regretted following Xiao Shaojun to wade through this muddy water from the very beginning. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glare fiercely at those female cultivators of Bi Xuan Gate.

  He now faces two options, one is to take Xiao Shaojun's body back and face the impending wrath of the Li Tianzong Sect Master, or to flee far away now and escape this trouble.

  Thinking of what would happen to those cultivators who betrayed and escaped from the Lie Tian Sect after being caught, Yan surname's Zhi Ji cultivator felt a chill run down his spine.

  "It's better to go back and face the wrath of the sect master." Yan surname foundation-building monk thought with a hint of luck.

  Yan Zhengjiu released the flying boat, then put Xiao Shaojun's body on it. He looked at the female cultivators of Bi Xiangmen and frowned, but still threw them into the flying boat. A spell was cast, and the flying boat soared into the sky, heading in the direction of Bi Xiangmen.

  Inside Yu Huang's Immortal Mansion.

  Li Hui sensed that Yan Jing's foundation repairman had left, and his spirit relaxed. He turned around to find Han Xue staring at him, their eyes met, and they couldn't help but feel a little awkward again.

  "Li Shidi, what just happened?" Han Xue asked, lowering her head as if to ease the atmosphere.

  "Just now, another demonic cultivator who had built his foundation was outside." Li Hui said without hiding the truth.

  "Have you ever found those fellow disciples of mine?" Han Xue's face showed a hint of expectation.

  Li Hui was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded: "Several female disciples were caught."

  His tone was flat, and Li Hui didn't plan to hide this matter from Han Xue, nor did he plan to explain anything.

  Han Xue's face changed upon hearing this, with a hint of loss and pain on her face. She could imagine what would happen to their fellow disciples if they fell into the hands of the demonic cultivators.

  Han Xue lowered her head and stopped looking at Li Hui.

  Han Xue's reaction was within Li Hui's expectations, and he didn't plan on explaining anything either. If Han Xue really thought he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, then so be it.

  "Li Shidi, I know you have your reasons." After a moment, Han Xue raised her head and said softly.

  Li Hui was taken aback, he didn't expect Han Xue to say such a thing, and his mind recalled the dispute with Han Xue at Bi Xiao Men because of Han Hao's affairs, when Han Xue's Huahua Shizhe was defeated by himself, no one dared to come on stage, Han Xue stood up to resolve the situation for them.

  "This woman has a beautiful appearance and a kind heart."

  Li Hui's heart was also slightly touched, and he smiled and said, "Thank you!"

  This smile was like the warm sunshine on a spring day that melted the ice and snow, but it flashed by in an instant, and Li Hui's face became cold and determined once again.

  Han Xue looked at Li Shi Di in front of her, the young face was filled with coldness and determination, yet it seemed to be hiding countless hardships and past events.

  She naturally wouldn't know about Li Hui's hardships during his youth, the helplessness of being caught in the war between the demon cultivators and the immortal cultivators, and the terror and unease he felt every day at Lie Tian Sect.

  "It should be me who says thank you. Thank you, Li Shidi, for saving my life." Han Xue stood up and bowed deeply to Li Hui.

  "Miss Han doesn't need to thank me, I killed Xiao Shaojun for my own sake, saving you was just a convenient thing to do." Li Hui said calmly.

  This is also the truth, in fact, saving Han Xue will bring a lot of trouble to Li Hui, but a man does things, naturally will not be hesitant, saved then saved, as for the trouble that will come, it will be solved slowly.

  "No matter what, if it weren't for my junior brother, I'm afraid my fate would be worse than death. Thank you, junior brother." Han Xue said softly.

  Li Hui smiled slightly, no longer saying anything, but secretly calculated the time in his heart. At this moment, that Li Tianzong's Jigenshi should have gone far away. He stood up and said to Han Xue: "Sister, wait for a moment, I'll go out for a while."

  After finishing speaking, Li Hui's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving Han Xue standing in shock on the spot.

  Outside the Yuanhao Xianfu, Li Hui's figure suddenly appeared, looked around, and confirmed that no one was left. Only then did he put away the Yuanhao Xianfu with a wave of his hand and flew towards the depths of the forest.

  Xian Zheng's foundation repairman has left, and Xiao Yuanqi, the sect master of Lie Tian Sect, will surely receive news of Xiao Shaojun's sudden death here. He will definitely come to the scene to investigate, and perhaps Zhao Mingjiu, the old freak, will also come.

  Although hiding in the Yuanhao Xianfu won't be discovered, if the demonic cultivators were to seal off this place, it would be even more difficult to escape later on. It's better to leave this place as soon as possible.

  In the Yuanchang Xianfu, Han Xue sat on a stone bench in the Linshui Pavilion, thinking back to everything that had happened today.

  "This Li Shidi seems to be hiding many stories and secrets, such as the place he is currently in, which is extremely similar to the Xumi Dongtian, a spatial treasure that only Yuan Ying period cultivators can possess. And Li Hui, clearly looks like he's still in the Qi Refining stage."

  "After the great defeat at Chi Meng Ridge, Li Hui was able to escape with his life, probably also related to this treasure he possessed. As for later mixing with the demonic cultivators, it's probably just a temporary expedient."

  Han Xue was clever and soon had some guesses in her mind, which were roughly the same as the truth of the matter.

  "This treasure must be his biggest secret, I suppose saving me will bring him a lot of trouble."

  Thinking of this, Han Xue also felt a bit apologetic, but this was beyond her control, and she didn't know what would happen next. However, one thing was certain: Li Hui absolutely wouldn't kill her to silence her.

  Then Han Xue suddenly remembered the feeling of falling from high altitude in Li Hui's arms, and the two of them lying close together with their eyes locked when they first entered the immortal mansion, and she couldn't help but blush secretly.

  ……

  In the vast forest, Li Hui's spiritual energy circulated within his body, and he darted forward with all his might. His spiritual energy was as thick as that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his physical strength was also close to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. At this moment, when he ran at full speed, his velocity was extremely fast.

  However, Li Hui knew that no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't compare to the speed of the monks flying through the air. The mountains and forests were dense with trees and underbrush, and the ground was covered in weeds and rocks, making it naturally slower than flying through the open sky.

  Moreover, I am now in the mountains, where the roads are rugged and winding, not to mention having to cross many peaks and gorges, while the sky is just a straight line away.

  So Li Hui didn't dare to slow down or stop at all under his feet, and kept running forward with all his might.

  Half a time later, Li Hui ran out of nearly two hundred miles, which refers to the mountain ridge's hundred miles. If flying from the air, it would be less than half.

  "It's about time!"

  Li Hui estimated that the strict surname foundation repairer should have returned to Bi Xiao Men by now, and probably in a while, the Golden Elixir cultivator from Lie Tian Zong would come over.

  He looked around and found himself on a relatively gentle slope, with a small stream flowing happily down the mountain. Li Hui's heart moved, he came to the creek, then his body moved and disappeared.

  Only the stone transformed from Yuanhao Xianfu was left lying in the stream, rolling down the mountain with the rushing water. After not having rolled far, it sank to the bottom of the creek and mixed with a pile of pebbles, looking no different from them.
