43: Chapter 43 The mysterious expert you're looking for is right here.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yuan returned to the Military Camp.

He spoke with Uncle Chen and the others, mentioning that he had encountered some trouble and needed to go away for a while.

When the people from Qianqiu Mountain arrived, he needed to go out and hide.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen and the others nodded, showing great understanding of the situation.

They had heard quite a bit about Li Yuan's affairs.

When he returned from Lingshan Kingdom, Li Yuan had gone missing.

Later, he managed to save his life and returned to Yingyang Pass.

Li Yuan had explained some of it himself, and others who knew the details had shared a bit more.

Therefore, the fact that Ruan Xingqiao was causing trouble for Li Yuan was not a secret in the Yingyang Pass Military Camp.

"Since the City Lord told you to go out and rest, you should have a good time for a while.

It would be best to find yourself a wife.

You're still young; don't lose your life before you've even had a taste of what it's like."

Several of the older uncles were teasing Li Yuan.

Starting a family was the greatest wish in the eyes of the men of Da Shun.

But for Li Yuan, a Transmigration, starting a family and establishing a career didn't hold much appeal.

Come to think of it, although this world is bitter, starting a family here is indeed a good thing.

After a man and woman start a family, most will treat each other as one.

Husband and wife work with one heart to live a good life together.

After packing his things and exchanging a few jokes, Li Yuan set off and left the Military Camp.

With his current strength, Li Yuan likely had no opponents left within the entire Qianqiu Mountain.

The strongest person in the Sect of Qianqiu Mountain was said to be infinitely close to the Ninth-Grade.

But if you carefully ponder that statement, it means the strongest person in Qianqiu Mountain still didn't have Ninth-Grade strength.

As a fellow Martial Arts Grade 8, Li Yuan considered himself to be the number one.

Against other Eighth-Grade Experts, if it truly came to a life-and-death struggle, Li Yuan could even take their lives.

Leaving this time was, of course, not because he was afraid of Ruan Xingqiao.

Although she seemed to have quite a bit of potential among the younger generation and held a respectable position in Qianqiu Mountain.

But to Li Yuan, it really didn't mean anything.

Li Yuan chose to avoid her mainly to save himself from some trouble.

Furthermore, he had already reached the turning point for advancing from Eighth-Grade to Ninth-Grade.

He needed time to seek an opportunity to break through.

The difficulty of this step was no longer like before, where one could achieve a Breakthrough by relying on a Medicinal Pill.

Li Yuan knew what he was doing, and it was a perfect time to go out on a trip again.

As for Ruan Xingqiao, he hoped to have a private meeting with her.

Since she was so obsessed with Meng Guidu, he could send the two of them to be reunited when the time came.

In the mortal world, one was from Shun Kingdom and the other from Jin Kingdom; the two couldn't be together due to worldly reasons.

But once dead, no one could blame them.

After departing, Li Yuan headed southwest.

It had only been four months since his Transmigration.

Relying on the Corpse Looting Technique, he had gone from a young man who had nothing to do with martial arts to the position of an Eighth-Grade Expert.

On the way back, he relied on the martial arts experience of two Ninth-Grade Mortal Immortals to search for an opportunity to break through to the next level.

After walking only ten miles, Li Yuan keenly sensed that there were people ambushing on both sides.

Having mastered the Tracking and Tracing Technique, such methods were truly hard to escape his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, these ambushing assassins only had the strength of Fourth or Fifth-Grade.

Li Yuan didn't stop his pace, as he wasn't sure if these people were targeting him.

But the next moment, five assassins leaped out and blocked his path.

"Calm down, stay calm.

We are not interested in a small fry like you, and we don't want your life.

If you cooperate well, you can even earn yourself a reward."

The leading assassin recited the lines they had prepared in advance.

Even though Li Yuan was extremely calm, their first sentence was still to tell Li Yuan to calm down and stay calm.

"You must be a small soldier from Yingyang Pass; we only need you to do one small thing.

You should know about the mysterious expert who has been rumored everywhere in the army recently.

Starting tomorrow, send us a message every three days.

As long as it is about that mysterious expert, no matter how big or small, report all his news."

While speaking, the leading assassin spread his hands.

In his hand was a Blood Wolf Poison Pill.

"Eat this Carefree Pill, and when you send us messages, we will give you an antidote.

Usually, you won't feel any discomfort.

When the matter is finished, we will also give you a Vitality Treasure Pill to improve your physique."

Li Yuan looked at him; this assassin in front of him was purely trying to deceive him.

He had obtained the poison records from the River God of Langhe and others, and had studied it using their martial arts experience.

The Medicinal Pill before him was a Blood Wolf Poison Pill.

It was a chronic poison, and there was simply no such thing as an antidote.

After taking it, the user would have to make themselves vomit immediately.

Like them, for a few people to take some antidote, it was just self-deception.

In six months at most, the person taking this pill would die suddenly.

Not only did these people in front of him want him to follow their arrangements, they didn't intend to leave him a way to live.

"You have no room for choice; if you aren't willing, then die now.

We have also left you a way to live.

Drag that mysterious person out, and you can take a large sum of money and go live a carefree life.

Understand?"

The assassin leader used both soft and hard tactics, wanting to break Li Yuan's psychological defenses from two aspects.

The identities of these assassins were now obvious.

They were definitely people from Jin Kingdom.

The day he killed Elder Langhe, Jiang Yongsheng, had quite a big impact on Jin Kingdom.

Finding out his true identity as this mysterious expert was indeed the first priority.

Only after confirming his identity could Jin Kingdom arrange suitable people to come and deal with him.

"Our patience is limited; we will only give you ten breaths of time to consider."

The assassin leader used a countdown to threaten him, continuing to put psychological pressure on Li Yuan.

"Ten, nine..."

These countdown numbers, read out one by one, indeed gave people a very clear sense of pressure.

Beside him, an assassin was holding two knives and grinding them against each other.

The sound of the blades clashing was even more terrifying.

Under these tactics of theirs, Li Yuan finally spoke.

"Isn't it just that you want to find that mysterious expert?

Why do you need to pass messages every few days? I can give you accurate information right now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of these few assassins lit up.

They looked at Li Yuan; although the credibility of this statement was doubtful, they felt that Li Yuan shouldn't have the guts to lie to them.

"Speak. If the information is confirmed to be true, not only will I ensure your life is safe, but I will also give you a great reward!"

There was a hint of eagerness on the assassin leader's face.

Li Yuan didn't drag it out: "That mysterious expert is me.

I am right here, you don't need to look anymore."

When this answer came out, the several assassins around him laughed; they were laughed out of anger.

The assassin leader stood in front of Li Yuan and raised his sword.

"The spring breeze does not enter the donkey's ears; fools do not listen to the advice of wise men.

Since you are seeking death, then really go die.

Also, since you wasted our time, the process of dying won't be easy either."
