"Tick tock, tick tock."
When Wen Tao woke up, there was only the sound of dripping water in his ears.
And then there was the "rustling" sound of sharpening the knife.
Wen Tao instantly stood up, and the armor skirt at the hem automatically moved without wind with the violent movement.
He had a hairband tied around his forehead and a special black scarf wrapped around his mouth and nose. His sharp eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
Just looking at the surrounding situation, it seems that he is still in the cave of Xuanming Sect.
But it was obvious that he had been taken away from the place just now.
The guard who was standing with the sword just squatted not far away from him, sharpening the saber on a small stone with the help of water drops dripping from the stone slab above his head.
Wen Tao briefly inspected himself and found no injuries.
Only the Bagua Star Compass that he carried with him disappeared.
He immediately took a step back and said in a deep voice: "Who are you!"
"You know, this is against religious rules!"
Li Jing wiped the blade with the corner of the Xuanming Sect's clothes, and raised his head with a long smile: "You are not a member of the Xuanming Sect, so why should you follow the rules?"
Just hearing these words, Wen Tao's heart suddenly sank.
This person doesn't know his background, let alone his strength, but just because he can be kidnapped here by the masters of Xuanming Sect without anyone noticing, he is not something he can deal with on his own.
Moreover, why did he say this? Could it be...
Thinking this in his heart, Wen Tao immediately bowed and clasped his fists.
"Wen doesn't understand what your Excellency said, could you elaborate on it?"
Li Jing stood up, but judging from his height, he was more than half a head taller than Wen Tao, not to mention he was carrying a long knife in his hand.
For this Thieving Saint who is not outstanding in martial arts, it feels quite oppressive.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time..."
"Tianjiexing, Wen Tao."
Seeing the long knife in Li Jing's hand being drawn in a semicircle on the ground, Wen Tao took another half step back and spoke calmly.
"Who sent you? Emperor Hades or Po Meng? Or Zhu Wen?"
"Or, you are a bad handsome person..."
Li Jing paused and said funnyly: "Who do you want me to be from?"
As soon as he said it, Wen Tao hesitated.
Looking at this scene, he is in the Xuanming Sect, but he does not actually belong to any sect. It is just that the Xuanming Sect seems to be more powerful now, making it easier for him to rob tombs.
But by saying this, is this person trying to deceive me?
After thinking about this, Wen Tao looked warily at Li Jing, who was not approaching.
"Looking at what your Excellency did, it doesn't look like someone from the Xuanming Sect... It can only be the subordinates of the bad commander in the Hidden Soldier Valley, right?"
Li Jing secretly sighed that Wen Tao's words did not reveal where he was from.
Whether it is Xuan Ming Cult or bad people, there is a sense of distance that makes it difficult to judge.
Being so vigilant is in line with his character.
He simply didn't have so many scruples. The relationship between Wen Tao and Yuan Tiangang had broken down. If I remember correctly, he was actually playing Infernal Affairs.
According to Yuan Tiangang, he was an undercover agent placed by bad people in the Xuanming Sect. But with Emperor Hades, he had already betrayed the bad guy.
This person is available...
Li Jing took off the mask on his face and revealed his delicate face to show friendship.
"To be honest with Thief Saint, I am neither a member of the Xuanming Sect nor a bad person... If you put it forcefully, I have some disconnected relationship with the bad people, but my coming here this time has nothing to do with these two parties. "
Wen Tao on the opposite side was still wary, hiding his hands behind his back, presumably hoping to finally counterattack.
"I came here this time to borrow your ability of divination and finding things..."
Li Jing knew that he had left a bad impression on Wen Tao, but he only spoke politely.
If he doesn't obey, just sharpening the knife is a signal to him.
After hearing Li Jing's last words, Wen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
If you want him to help, you are safe now. You must know that in today's world, there is nothing that you can't find.
Wen Tao focused his gaze on the long sword shining in Li Jing's hand, clasped his fists slightly and made a sound.
"Please speak carefully, Your Majesty. I will do my best under the circumstances."
Thief Saint is a very particular person. As long as his interests can be maximized, he will not care about other things.
Now, to save his life is to maximize the interests...
Li Jing smiled faintly and put the long sword back into its sheath: "Mr. Wen is a great talent, and I have no choice but to take this step. But this matter will not be clear to Mr. Wen for a while. After we go out, How about we talk in more detail?”
Wen Tao's eyes rolled slightly, and he understood that Li Jing didn't want to be trapped in this cave, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"This is indeed not the place to discuss matters. Your Excellency, please..."
But Li Jing opposite him smiled silently and stood still.
He didn't know how to go. He came across this dark cave by accident. How could he get there?
Wen Tao's eyes rolled under his robe, and he could only walk in front to lead the way for Li Jing, while introducing him calmly.
"This place was a dark cave dug by the river back then, but due to the wrong location selection, it has been left behind. It was selected by the Xuanming Sect as a secret place in the sect, and no one but the leader is allowed to enter. This must be your first time here..."
Li Jing followed him, groping with her right hand for the Bagua Star Compass she took from Wen Tao, and nodded in reply.
"I have never been here before. I tried my best to sneak in just to find you, Mr. Wen."
Wen Tao frowned secretly, but he just walked carefully to lead the way.
Before you know what kind of temper this person is, you should not act rashly to avoid offending this person.
The two of them were silent all the way. Wen Tao was also a cautious person. After coming out of the cave, he took the path with the fewest people.
After walking like this for almost half an hour, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in front of Li Jing.
Wen Tao just walked steadily and strode out.
Li Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and found that this place was slightly different from the place where he and Hei Bai Wuchang went down just now.
It looks more like another style of passage here.
If Li Jing had had experience in tomb robbing, he would have seen that this was an enlarged version of the tomb robbing.
The source of light is the entrance to the outside.
Lush dead grass completely covered the cave entrance.
Li Jing secretly pondered. He had never passed the previous stone stairs along the way. Could it be a secret passage opened by Wen Tao himself?
At this moment, Wen Tao, who had been walking silently in front, suddenly flashed and jumped out.
No movement was seen, and the entrance to the cave, which was still illuminated by light, was suddenly blocked by a huge boulder.
Li Jing was suddenly enveloped in boundless darkness.
Outside the entrance of the cave, Wen Tao gasped and retreated slowly.
The position he was in now was in the suburban forest outside Bianzhou City. The ground was covered with dry weeds. Only the scattered graves around showed that this was a mass grave.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Unfortunately for his own compass, Wen Tao turned around and retreated while secretly thinking of ways to deal with Li Jing.
Suddenly, a roar sounded from behind.
Countless exploding gravels passed by Wen Tao, and even small stones wiped past his face, which turned around in shock.
There was a solid white mist in the air, hitting him in the face.
"The Thief Saint has some tricks up his sleeve."
