131: Chapter 131 Facing Death with Unwavering Spirit
Elder Luo Xi speaking like this meant he was entrusting his final arrangements.
Xia Shaoxin was shocked; he hadn't expected Elder Luo Xi to truly have no intention of returning, resigning himself to death and preparing to meet his end in the Yue Kingdom imperial palace.
There must be many Yue Kingdom Cultivators outside. With his body so frail, how many moves could he possibly block?
Grand Minister Liao Sishui laughed contemptuously: "Fellow Daoist Luo, not telling you the whereabouts of Uncle Ancestor Luo You and not letting you enter was originally to be responsible for you, so you wouldn't die inside."
"I didn't expect you to have such great ability, to actually be able to come out. Let me ask you one last thing: did you collect any poisonous items from Shenji Tower?"
Elder Luo Xi replied mockingly: "Is this what you truly care about?"
"If you can sell the poisonous herbs and poisonous items to me, we are willing to offer you a satisfactory price."
Elder Luo Xi snorted: "And if I am unwilling?"
Grand Minister Liao Sishui was not angry: "If you can recount the entire process after entering to me, we will certainly treat you with courtesy and will absolutely not make things difficult for you."
Elder Luo Xi said: "You all have lied too many times; who would dare believe you? You certainly won't make things difficult for me, you will only squeeze every bit of value out of me."
Grand Minister Liao Sishui said loudly: "The two Fellow Daoists from Chiyan Sect, your cultivation levels are not high, yet you performed outstandingly in the Chiyan Sect Forbidden Ground and were able to successfully enter and exit the Shenji Tower Forbidden Ground. Are the two of you interested in joining the Yue Kingdom? Actually, we just don't have as many Ninth Level of Qi Refining Cultivators as the Chiyan Sect; in other aspects, we are not inferior."
Liu Tingting squeezed Xia Shaoxin's hand and whispered: "We absolutely must not get mixed up with these lunatics."
That, of course, didn't need reminding, but how were they supposed to leave now?
Elder Luo Xi walked to the entrance of Shenji Tower; the poisonous items outside had sensed the aura of living beings and had long since blocked the door.
To go out and fight with Grand Minister Liao Sishui, they would have to step over these disgusting things.
Elder Luo Xi took out a few spiritual talismans, preparing to use them, when Liu Tingting suddenly said: "Don't rush, I have a way."
With so many Yue Kingdom Cultivators outside, they definitely wouldn't be able to rush out by brute force.
Liu Tingting took out the die lian hua wooden tablet.
Elder Luo Xi took one look and said sorrowfully: "You two, the butterfly loves flower is my Shanyuan Sect's escape Divine Artifact. I didn't intend to come out of Shenji Tower, so I didn't place one outside."
Liu Tingting said calmly: "I left one outside the imperial palace."
Elder Luo Xi was astonished, pointing at the die lian hua wooden tablet in her hand; then whose was this one?
Xia Shaoxin suddenly realized and said excitedly: "The one in her hand is the one you gave us, but we have another one."
Elder Luo Xi's expression changed abruptly: "Where did you get the other one?"
"My Master, Elder Qian Yunchang, gave it to me. He couldn't understand it and just thought it was a very Advanced Magical Artifact. Before he died, he gave it to me to study carefully, not knowing it was your Shanyuan Sect's treasure."
Elder Luo Xi's eyes widened until they were about to pop out.
There are only five die lian hua wooden tablets; could this be one of them?
Xia Shaoxin hurriedly said: "Never mind all that, let's go quickly!"
Liu Tingting quickly activated the mechanism, consuming a five poisons pill, and a ring of light emerged with her at the center.
Elder Luo Xi sheathed his sword, his face full of shock, and stepped into the ring of light.
A flash of light passed, and the world spun around.
The Spiritual Qi vibration emitted by the die lian hua wooden tablet alerted Grand Minister Liao Sishui.
"Not good, they have a method, they've escaped!"
The three of them instantly returned to the place they were staying in the capital.
Liu Tingting took a wooden tablet from under the bed and placed it with the one in her hand; there were exactly two.
"I was afraid that if I carried two, you would discover them, so I hid one."
It can only be used within the same world, so in the Shenji Tower Forbidden Ground, it couldn't transport them to the outside.
Xia Shaoxin also took out his own.
Elder Luo Xi's eyes widened to the size of dates.
Needless to say, this was the one Uncle Ancestor Luo You had lost outside.
Why was it lost outside?
Where was the other one?
Elder Luo Xi had no time to think carefully and growled: "Go!"
They ran wildly.
There were a few horses in the inn; they mounted them and rode off.
They had entered Shenji Tower in the middle of the night and stayed inside for three hours; at this time, the sky was just brightening, and there weren't many people.
Inside the imperial palace, it was in chaos.
Grand Minister Liao Sishui's roar resounded throughout the capital: "Where did they go? Search for them!"
Countless figures emerged from the shadows and rushed in all directions.
Xia Shaoxin and the other two caught a time difference, arriving at the city gate before the pursuers from the imperial palace could come out.
There was only a squad of Mortal soldiers guarding the city gate; how could they withstand the power of a single blow from the three, and they immediately scattered.
However, it was not yet time for the city gate to open, and the gate was tightly shut.
Xia Shaoxin ran to the bottom of the city gate, wanting to open the bolt, but was bounced back by the city gate.
"Don't mess around, this is the Yue Kingdom capital; the Formation on the city gate is very powerful."
Elder Luo Xi hurriedly looked at Liu Tingting.
Damn it, they had to break the city gate Formation too?
Xia Shaoxin had no patience and turned to look at the city wall; it was only a few zhang high, so he immediately pushed off the ground with his legs and nimbly sprinted up the city wall.
Unexpectedly, just as his head was level with the city wall, a powerful force pressed down, as if someone in the sky had struck him on the head, and he immediately tumbled down.
He was dumbfounded.
When they came to the capital a few days ago, it looked ordinary, but it actually contained hidden mysteries.
He hurriedly asked Liu Tingting: "Hurry up and break the city gate's Formation."
A loud shout suddenly came from the distance: "Want to run? In your dreams!"
A person could be seen sprinting down the street; it was a Ninth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator from the Yue Kingdom named Yang Qincheng.
Tonight, the anomaly in Shenji Tower within the imperial palace had alarmed all the great Cultivators of the Yue Kingdom.
Grand Minister Liao Sishui was monitoring inside the imperial palace, while the others couldn't sleep and were patrolling the city to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos or meeting those who had broken into the tower.
Xia Shaoxin and the three were riding wildly at the crack of dawn; Grand Minister Liao Sishui in the imperial palace was naturally unable to reach them, but this Yang Qincheng happened to be nearby and immediately rushed over.
Not good! Xia Shaoxin secretly groaned.
Elder Luo Xi shouted: "Good, very good! I've been holding back for a long time and have been waiting to vent!"
He brandished his sword and went up to intercept.
"Don't panic, stay calm."
Xia Shaoxin hurriedly said to Liu Tingting.
Over there, Elder Luo Xi and Yang Qincheng only exchanged three moves before he was kicked away.
"Old thing, you're almost dead, and you still dare to fight me?"
Yang Qincheng laughed contemptuously.
Elder Luo Xi struggled to stand up, a pool of blood hanging from his lips.
"Hehe, then come and hit me."
He assumed a defensive posture.
Yang Qincheng laughed endlessly: "A centipede dies but never falls; I don't need to risk my life fighting you. The city gate has a Restriction, and you can't open it anyway."
In reality, he was thinking that this Elder Luo Xi was, after all, a top-tier Cultivator of the Tang Kingdom's Shanyuan Sect; if he were to die by his hand, it might invite some not-so-small trouble.
He immediately took out a bell, threw it into the air, and it transformed into a giant clock.
Hum—
The sound spread throughout the capital.
In the distance, figures faintly appeared, rushing toward this location.
Xia Shaoxin's heart turned cold.
They couldn't escape, they couldn't escape.
He quickly made a decision: do not resist, join the Yue Kingdom Cultivator gang!
He could already imagine his future life: being taken by the great Yue Kingdom Cultivators to the Shenji Tower Forbidden Ground to collect poisonous herbs and poisonous items for them.
Growing from a Bug Catcher of Dawu Mountain into a Bug Catcher for the Sect.
The essence hadn't changed at all; the working environment was just more dangerous.
Liu Tingting hadn't moved the whole time, anxiously trying to break the Formation temporarily, but where would there be time!
