They were originally on the same road, but now they happened to meet each other, so both parties chose to go together.
In this regard, Li Xiuping is naturally happy to see the results. With two sect disciples who are not low in strength walking together, even if someone really wants to attack them, they have to weigh the consequences, because this is tantamount to offending two forces at the same time.
As for the plans of the female cultivator named He Junlin, Li Xiuping didn't care much. The worst outcome is nothing more than mutual use, and there is absolutely no chance of a fight. After all, they didn't even take action in the situation last night, and it will be even less likely in the future.
The three of them did not take a carriage, but chose to walk. The man driving the carriage led the horse behind.
Haste makes waste. Even though we are in a hurry to get to Huayang Sect, we still have to let the horses pulling the carts rest, otherwise they will be exhausted and it will only delay more time.
"Master Li has no spiritual roots, how can he practice?" He Junlin walked beside Li Mingyue and asked.
"It doesn't matter if you don't forge the sword." Li Xiuping replied casually.
He Junlin was stunned and even more confused, but this time he did not continue to ask. She could tell that Li Xiuping didn't want to say more about this matter.
Xu Bansheng frowned and said, "How do you know he can practice without spiritual roots?"
He Junlin said with a smile: "About Mr. Li's deeds, it is now spread all over the cultivation world. I didn't really believe it at first, but last night I saw the injuries on Mr. Li's body. It was obviously caused by a fight with a monk. Such an injury, To be able to recover to this point overnight shows that Mr. Li’s cultivation level is probably higher than that of the little girl.”
Xu Bansheng nodded.
He Junlin said again at this time: "If the little girl's guess is correct, the people you were chasing when you left the inn last night should be the people from the Chaoxian Sect, right?"
Xu Bansheng shook his head and said: "He is not a member of the Chaoxian Sect, but a casual cultivator who was bewitched by the disciple of the Chaoxian Sect and formed a grudge."
He Junlin nodded, thoughtfully.
After a while, she looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Master Li thinks so too?"
Li Xiuping was stunned and did not answer immediately, but also fell into thinking.
Regarding the identity of the man in black robe, Li Xiuping didn't pay much attention before.
No matter what his identity is, just kill him.
When He Junlin asked this question at this moment, he recalled it by the way.
Li Xiuping quickly shook his head and said: "Even if that person is not from the Chaoxian Sect, he must have a lot of connections with the Chaoxian Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone named Chao to find him just after entering Chu Xincheng. Convince him to take action. Furthermore, according to Ye Xingsi, the reason why they were able to find out that Chao came from the Chaoxian Sect was based on the magic and magical powers performed by that person."
Xu Bansheng had a look of astonishment on his face at this time and nodded repeatedly: "That's true. Not only does this person possess the magical power of Chaoxian Sect, but he also acts with the monk named Chao. It is absolutely impossible to say that he has nothing to do with Chaoxian Sect. "
He then cursed: "Damn it, I almost got fooled by him."
He Junlin said with a smile at this time: "I heard that the head of the Chaoxian Sect has a son who was expelled from the sect for violating the rules in his early years. However, what he learned in the Chaoxian Sect since he was a child has not been abolished. I think he must be this person. "
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look at He Junlin, frowned and said, "Miss He knows a lot about Chaoxian Sect."
He Junlin said with a smile: "This matter is not a secret at all. In addition, Fenglei Pavilion and Chaoxian Sect have a lot of contacts, so naturally we know more than others."
Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng both looked at He Junlin.
He Junlin quickly explained: "Don't worry, you two, it's just some simple exchanges. Regarding the sect's grievances and the like, the two sects have never interfered with each other. What's more, if Chaoxian Sect encounters something unexpected, it will also be of great benefit to Fenglei Pavilion. , After all, Yunzhou only has so few resources, if one person is missing, others will naturally be able to share more."
As if she felt that saying this was not strong enough, she continued: "To put it bluntly, the so-called alliance is just an agreement reached on the premise of mutual benefit between the two parties. If the benefits were greater, the so-called alliance would also collapse, let alone Fenglei Pavilion and I. Chaoxian Sect is not an alliance."
Xu Bansheng nodded. This is indeed the norm in the cultivation world. All relationships are maintained by profit. If it is unprofitable or has greater benefits, any relationship will disappear.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "It doesn't matter to me whether Fenglei Pavilion intervenes or not. My decision will not change in any way because of the existence of Fenglei Pavilion. If anyone wants to forcefully change my decision, Then I don’t mind letting him disappear with Chaoxianmen.”
He looked at He Junlin and continued: "As for whether I have this ability, if you don't believe it, just try."
This was clearly a naked threat, so neither He Junlin nor her junior brother looked very good-looking. However, with the Jingdemen incident, no one dared to underestimate the effect of Li Xiuping's threat.
The reason why Li Xiuping said this was because he was threatening.
Now Li Xiuping doesn't know what the relationship between Fenglei Pavilion and Chaoxian Sect is, and he doesn't know what the two Fenglei Pavilion disciples plan to do by following him, so he can only use the incident of Jingde Sect to remind them and at the same time shock them. Live them.
After the five people left, neither Li Xiuping nor the two disciples from Fenglei Pavilion noticed a person standing in the dense forest beside the road, observing their every move. Therefore, Li Xiuping never dreamed that the man in black robe who fled last night would come back again and choose the most unlikely time to take action.
It happened to be noon at that time, and everyone had just had lunch. After a brief rest, they were preparing to set off when a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and rushed straight towards Li Xiuping.
This situation happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. Even Li Xiuping, who had been fighting monsters for two years, did not react immediately. As soon as he held down the hatchet with his right hand, a dagger directly penetrated his body from back to front. If Li Xiuping hadn't held down the hatchet at the last moment, causing a slight deviation in his body, this sword would have directly penetrated his body. His whole heart ran through it.
After the man succeeded in the attack, he didn't care about Li Xiuping's life or death. With the help of his forward speed, he passed directly over Li Xiuping and disappeared into the bushes ahead.
Li Xiuping stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and blood flowed out continuously, turning his palms red in an instant.
At this time, Xu Bansheng stepped forward to help Li Xiuping, who almost fell to the ground; the two disciples from Fenglei Pavilion were staring ahead, with no intention of pursuing him; the man driving the car had a blank look on his face, his eyes staring at Li Xiuping's chest and constantly flowing out. of blood, overwhelmed.
After supporting Li Xiuping, Xu Bansheng hurriedly took out a few pills, then picked out one with hemostatic effect and gave it to Li Xiuping to eat. He also activated the true energy in his body, continuously poured it into Li Xiuping's wound, and forced it with external force. Suppress the flow of blood.
Li Xiuping sat on the ground, his body trembling.
