?

  Liu Kun never thought that Li Hui would be so strong. The two of them joined forces, and as soon as they faced each other, Qin Shidi was killed!

  Moreover, Liu Kun had a feeling that Li Hui was intentionally sparing his life, turning to attack Qin Shidi at the last moment; otherwise, it would probably be himself with brains splattered everywhere!

  Originally thought that the two of them were flawless, but now it seems like a joke, and they can't pose any threat to Li Hui at all. Previously thought that Li Hui had fallen into their trap, but now it seems that the two of them are like two mice crashing into a cat's paw!

  Li Hui looked at Liu Kun with a cold gaze, the icy chill in his eyes making Liu Kun's soul tremble to its core. Suddenly, he spoke up, "Now you can tell me why you followed me here." Not hiding the murderous intent emanating from his body.

  Liu Kun's face was pale and he was shivering, barely managing to squeeze out a smile. On his sweat- and blood-stained face, it looked even more hideous: "Li, Li Shidi, I think there's been some misunderstanding. I...I and Qin Shidi came here only because we were ordered by the sect leader to invite you back to the sect again. We didn't expect to cause any misunderstanding."

  Liu Kun was so frightened that he opened his eyes and told a lie.

  "Oh?" Li Hui's mouth curled up with a hint of amusement: "Looks like I was wrong after all!"

  "Right, right... uh, no, no, no, it's not Li Shidi's fault, I'm the one who didn't explain clearly." Liu Kun became incoherent.

  "Who was it that just said I'm looking for death and wanted to send me on my way? Did my ears go deaf or something?" Li Hui's face suddenly changed, and he spoke in a cold tone.

  Liu Kun trembled again and stuttered: "Li... Li Shidi, just now I was only momentarily mistaken, I had no ill intentions towards Li Shidi, I..."

  Sweat rolled down Liu Kun's face, but he also understood in his heart that no matter what he said, Li Hui would not believe him. However, the fear in his heart drove him to tell these lies, hoping to drag it out for as long as possible.

  Li Hui's mouth curled up in a cold smile, his eyes seeming to see right through Liu Kun as he looked at him: "Liu Kun, you still won't tell the truth, will you?"

  "I... everything I said is true, I dare not deceive my younger brother!" Liu Kunyan forced himself to say.

  Li Hui had lost his patience and said coldly: "Liu Kun, since you have evil intentions towards me, I won't let you go today!"

  A flash of purple lightning sword light, shot towards Liu Kun.

  Liu Kun's expression turned grave, and with a swift wave of his hand, a small silver shield flew out, expanding to the size of several meters to protect him. At the same time, he formed a seal with one hand and launched a silver flying sword that whizzed past the shield towards Li Hui.

  These few moves were extremely quick, and it turned out that Liu Kun was also very thoughtful. Knowing that he couldn't match Li Hui's strength, on the one hand, he used words to stall Li Hui, while on the other hand, he had already secretly prepared his own trump card, preparing for a final showdown. In the end, those words were just a way to buy time, and he didn't expect to actually deceive him into passing by.

  All of this Li Hui saw with his own eyes, but a cold smile floated up at the corner of his mouth. His spiritual sense completely locked onto Liu Kun's figure. The Purple Electric Sword folded in front of the shield and drew an arc in the air, its speed not decreasing in the slightest as it shot towards Liu Kun hiding behind the shield once again.

  Liu Kunling's consciousness was fully open, and he found that the Purple Electric Sword had changed direction. He hastily cast a spell, and the shield shook as it transformed into another direction, trying to block the Purple Electric Sword again.

  "Hiss!"

  The shield had just shifted, and Liu Kun's heart relaxed slightly, but his eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at a purple glow that was already approaching him. He felt a shock to his chest, and the Purple Lightning Sword had already pierced through his chest.

  Liu Kun's shield suddenly lost its luster and transformed into a small shield the size of a ruler, falling towards the ground. The flying sword also lost control midway and fell down.

  The next moment, Li Hui's figure flashed by, and he had already grabbed the corpse of Liu Kun who was about to land softly. His right hand stretched out, not minding the filth, and pressed on Liu Kun's forehead. A burst of spiritual light flashed from his hand, and instantly a golden light ball was torn out of Liu Kun's forehead.

  "Spare Li Shidi's life!" A pleading voice directly echoed in Li Hui's mind, coming from the light sphere in his hand.

  This orb is the primordial spirit of Liu Kun residing in the sea of consciousness. Just now, Li Hui deliberately did not extinguish his primordial spirit and captured it instead. Now, however, he was begging Li Hui desperately for mercy.

  Li Hui's mouth curled up in a cold smile, ignoring Liu Kun's plea for mercy. A flash of spiritual light appeared on his hand, and instantly a gray glow invaded the green glow within, flickering non-stop.

  Li Hui actually directly applied the Soul Search Technique to Liu Kun's primordial spirit!

  This soul-searching technique was obtained by Li Hui from Xiao Shaojun's storage bag, a magical secret technique. However, in the cultivation world, it is also considered common. Generally speaking, the person performing the technique requires a much stronger yuan Shen than the person being affected, otherwise, it can easily cause backlash.

  Li Hui relied on his strong spiritual power and cultivation comparable to the middle period of foundation building, only then did he use the Soul Searching Technique on Liu Kun who was in the early stage of foundation building at the same time.

  After a cup of tea, the green light in Li Hui's hand flashed and dissipated. A hint of pain appeared on his face, and he hastily sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to meditate.

  A moment later, Li Hui opened his eyes, but his gaze was deep and profound, lost in thought.

  This was his first time casting the Soul Searching Spell, and after casting it, he felt that there were suddenly a lot of information in his mind, and for a moment, he felt dizzy and overwhelmed. It wasn't until a while later that he slowly digested all this information.

  According to the extra information in his mind, Li Hui knew all of Liu Kun's thoughts.

  Originally, after Han Shidao and others left with Liu Kun and four people, including Han Xue, on the way, Liu Kun suddenly made an excuse that he had seen a spiritual instrument in a certain market and forgot to buy it back, wanting to go back for another trip.

  Han Shi didn't mind, and Liu Kun called out to Qin Shidi and his companion to return. Through the information in Liu Kun's mind, Li Hui learned that Qin Shidi's name was Qin Wenjiang.

  Halfway, Liu Kun told Qin Wenjiang that he was going to follow Li Hui and teach him a lesson. The two had always gotten along well in the past, so Qin Wenjiang didn't ask any questions and they followed together.

  In fact, Liu Kun had already harbored murderous intentions in his heart, and later seeing Li Hui leave the city made him feel like he was given a great opportunity, eagerly following him out, only to be unexpectedly killed by Li Hui in a flash.

  Li Hui's mouth curled up in a cold smile. These two people had brought this upon themselves, and he certainly wouldn't have any mercy in his heart.

  However, the most important information that Li Hui extracted from Liu Kunyuan's divine consciousness was not this, but news about the Bi Xiao Gate.

  According to the information extracted from Liu Kunyuan's divine sense, in that battle several months ago, only four Golden Dan cultivators escaped with less than fifty low-level disciples, among whom there were only ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Liu Kun and Qin Wenjiang also successfully established their foundation after escaping.

  Li Hui couldn't help but sigh, the Bi Xiao Gate not only had its mountain gate occupied, but also thousands of disciples were reduced to just a few dozen people, almost completely annihilated.

  Finally, the Yuan Ying Lao Zu Hua Yang Zhen Ren of Bi Xiang Men also escaped alone under Zhao Ming Ju's pursuit and joined forces with other Bi Xiang Men members before entering Xia Zhou and arriving at Zi Wei City.

  However, Bi Xiao Men was only temporarily recuperating in Zi Wei City and would be leaving for Shangzhou afterwards.

  The Bi Xiao Gate sect was destroyed, but there were still Yuanying cultivators holding on, plus four Jindan cultivators and many elite disciples. When they escaped, they took away a lot of the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the sect. As long as they found another suitable spiritual vein location to rest and recover for a hundred years, it wouldn't be possible to restore their former scale, but they could quickly rise again. After several hundred more years, returning to Chu State and retaking the mountain gate wasn't impossible either.

  But in Xia Zhou, this is impossible.

  In the desolate beast swamp, although all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are abundant, the true master of this desolate beast swamp has always been only one, the Ziwei Palace!

  Other sects can only operate under the jurisdiction of Ziwu Palace, and every move is subject to the scrutiny of Ziwu Palace. It's not impossible for them to grow and expand, but if they become too powerful and make Ziwu Palace feel uneasy, Ziwu Palace will take action without hesitation and wipe out that sect!

  Bi Xiao Gate has a Yuan Ying cultivator and several Jin Dan cultivators. After registering in Zi Wei City, they caught the attention of Zi Wei Palace, which secretly paid attention to the movements of this newly entered sect. If there were any disloyal actions, they would be immediately extinguished with lightning speed.

  The goal of Bi Xiao Men is grand, if they stay in Xia Zhou, no matter whether it's in Zi Wei City or any other city under its jurisdiction, it would be difficult for them to make a name for themselves, let alone return to Chu Zhou and reclaim Shan Men. Therefore, Hua Yang Zhen Ren decided to bring his disciples to Shang Zhou to develop their skills.

  Liu Kun as a core disciple, of course, also knew some of these things, but the core secrets, such as specifically where to establish himself in Shangzhou, he did not know.
