122: I have a treasure, help!
As he spoke, Li Wencai handed Lu Chen the Jade Slip Mo Dengxian had given him.
With a sorrowful expression, he said, "This is the Beast Taming Art Jade Slip Mo Dengxian gave me, Little Pill King, quickly take a look!"
Not only that, he also took a large amount of... from me."
Pfft!
However, before Li Wencai could finish speaking.
A cold light flashed instantly, and Li Wencai lowered his head blankly.
He saw a dagger suddenly plunged into his stomach.
"Wh-why? Why kill me?" Li Wencai's eyes were filled with disbelief: "I have a life token... you... you killed me, it's absolutely impossible to hide it from the Seventh Prince!"
However, Lu Chen did not speak, nor did he even look at the Jade Slip in his hand.
He just pushed him gently on the chest with an expressionless face.
In Li Wencai's current state, falling from such a height would surely leave him unable to move.
He would die miserably within a quarter of an hour.
He had originally been secretly called here by Li Wencai.
At that time, no one would suspect him, even if he had means to identify the killer.
By the time the person died, he would have long since left the range of the Spell.
The one to take the blame would only be the Xiao Clan Immortal Family.
Having done all this, Lu Chen glanced down from above and saw Li Wencai lying motionless below, his legs unnaturally bent and twisted, already broken.
The smell of blood permeated the air, and in the distance, a few howls of wild wolves came at just the right time.
Seeing this, Lu Chen relaxed, shook his head, and said, "I need to leave quickly, get far away from this area. After all, this old pig-dog's status is what it is, and it might really attract a soul-tracking curse."
He was still not appeased.
He cursed and grumbled, indignant that the treasure Duobao Rat had slipped away from him.
Recalling Xiao Qingduo, who had suddenly burst in earlier, the anger in his heart almost burned him to ashes.
This person must die!
He even came to hate the Xiao Family!
So he thought of something.
He quickly took out two Escape Talismans from his Storage Pouch.
He burrowed underground.
When he reappeared, his expression had become even gloomier.
"Damn it!" He slammed the Spirit Stone raw Ore in his hand to the ground and roared, "Such a large Mystic Iron Mine, such a vast area, and below it's only first-grade Spirit Stones! Why don't you just die!"
After saying that.
He glared resentfully at Li Wencai at the bottom of the cliff, seeing that the wild wolves had surrounded him and were about to engulf him.
Only then did he change direction and quickly leave.
However, no one present knew that all these events had fallen into the eyes of another person.
Even Xiao Tianheng's actions were no exception.
In an ordinary worship courtyard of the Xiao Clan Immortal Family, the dim light completely disappeared as Lu Chen left.
In the darkness, an almost imperceptible murmur suddenly sounded: "Sin, sin..."
...Lu Chen left, feeling completely safe.
But he didn't know that Li Wencai, smelling the foul odor around him, regained consciousness.
Looking at the departing stream of light of Lu Chen in the sky.
He let out an unwilling whimper.
Finally, it caught the attention of Xiao Tianheng, who was collecting Ore.
After some thought, Xiao Tianheng eventually came to his side to check.
At this moment, Li Wencai's legs were both broken, and his Cultivation was strangely and rapidly disappearing. In the end, he couldn't even retain his first-level Qi Cultivation.
Xiao Tianheng drove away the wild wolves, pondering in his heart.
【It must be this mysteriously disappearing Cultivation that made the other person think he was dead. In fact, the situation is much better than he imagined, but he won't last much longer.】
【Should I save him?】
Xiao Tianheng, who had heard their entire conversation, naturally understood that the eunuch in front of him was an enemy, not a friend, of his Xiao Clan Immortal Family.
Even though Li Wencai had come last time when he was in deep seclusion and he didn't recognize this person.
But Lu Chen, who wanted to frame the Xiao Family, made him even more resentful.
Xiao Tianheng was not in the habit of doing others' bidding.
But he also had no reason to save someone who coveted his Xiao Family's Ore Vein.
For a time, he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
"I have... hidden treasures, save... me!"
Li Wencai's voice was soft.
But Xiao Tianheng's spirit was invigorated by his words.
Well, well.
Little brother, you successfully gave this old man an impeccable reason.
Xiao Tianheng immediately decided—to save him!
At most, he would kill him later.
He had learned the method from that Lu Chen.
So, without a word, he quickly stuffed several Medicinal Pills into Li Wencai's mouth.
He kept him alive, then picked him up and flew away.
Li Wencai breathed a sigh of relief. He was a person with extreme thoughts and easily held grudges.
Because he was looked down upon, he hated the Seventh Prince.
Because of Lu Chen's betrayal, he naturally hated him too.
It could be said that however touched he was when Lu Chen saved him before, that's how much he wanted Lu Chen to die now.
This was a blood feud!
He even felt that from now on, he was already a dead man!
He must seek revenge on Lu Chen!
And then there was Xiao Tianheng, his new savior.
Even he couldn't help but feel a touch of gratitude in his heart.
He thought to himself.
One day, when he recovered his status, he would definitely repay him.
He would let him know that saving him would be the greatest Opportunity of his life.
He absolutely would!
However, when he weakly opened his eyes.
Seeing the increasingly familiar scenery around him, his ominous feeling grew stronger.
Until he passed by the place where the imperial decree was announced last time, his hanging heart finally died.
It's here!
Why is it here?
It's actually here!
Oh God, why is his fate so bitter? Why did destiny send him to the Xiao Clan Immortal Family again?
Sent to this place where everything ends and begins.
Thinking of this, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and finally fainted dramatically.
Swoosh—!
Xiao Tianheng, transforming into a stream of light, landed in the Cultivation Immortal Cave, shaking Li Wencai in his hand.
He was somewhat puzzled.
On the way back, he felt that the person's condition had stabilized, and he was just about to interrogate him.
He didn't expect this guy to suddenly spit out a mouthful of old blood with a 'pfft' sound.
"Alas..." Xiao Tianheng sighed, shook his head, and said, "Killing people and seizing treasures, you, you used my Xiao Clan Immortal Family's things as gifts, and in the end, you were stabbed. I really don't know if you're naive or stupid.
I hope you really did hide something good..."
After saying that, he quickly set his bones, took his Storage Pouch, and locked him in an empty stone chamber.
After setting up a Restriction and leaving a bottle of Bigu Pills.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, quickly walked out of the Immortal Cave, and prepared to ask Xiao Qingyuan how he had resolved the guard station matter today.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmur again, "Qingyuan, this child... he wouldn't have started a massacre again, would he? No, I must go and ask quickly."
No sooner had he spoken than his figure disappeared again into the Immortal Cave... At the same time.
In the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyuan was indeed still waiting here with Xiao Yance and others, not having returned.
His side of things was handled very quickly.
It could be said that when Wei Tao discovered that the supervisory token had no effect on him at all, or rather, Xiao Qingyuan was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
No matter how powerful the inspection token was.
It could not exert its power against the flawless Xiao Qingyuan.
Except for the warm golden light it emitted, it had virtually no effect.
Oh!
That's right.
It did prove Xiao Qingyuan's innocence.
On this day, spies all over the city sent back such a message to various Immortal Clans—
Superior Qingyuan is law-abiding; after taking office as the Town Guard, he has not killed a single person.
The Demonic Cultivator... is actually someone else!
