163. Chapter 163: New Hatred and Old Grudges

When Li Yi heard this sentence from Master Zhao Ge, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, when he saw the expressions of Zhao Qian and Rong Niang, he instantly understood what was going on.

It turned out that Master wanted to match the three of them.

Wait, why three?

Could it be that Master was really so reasonable and deep in righteousness? Not caring at all about his scumbag behavior of stepping on two boats? Or did the word Meng De have some kind of mysterious power that could change Master's mind?

Zhao Ge continued: "Meng De, you don't need to think too much. Earlier, Master had already asked Zhao Qian and Rong Niang about their thoughts, and they both expressed their willingness. In Master's view, you should just take them with you. Now there is nothing big happening in Sanyang City. It's a good thing to let them follow you to see the world."

"Master, I also want to follow Senior Brother to see the world." Skinny Monkey popped up at this inappropriate time.

Zhao Ge glared, almost unable to resist kicking him away. Was he letting his daughter and Rong Niang follow Li Yi to see the world? He was fulfilling the three of them, letting this good disciple start a family and establish a career early, so as not to be hooked away by some demoness in the future, and then cheaply benefit someone else's family.

The so-called fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields. If his own daughter could marry his own closed-door disciple, it would be a marriage between relatives. In the future, why worry about the martial arts school not flourishing?

After being glared at, Skinny Monkey shrank his head and didn't dare to speak again.

And at this moment, Zhao Qian and Rong Niang were looking at Li Yi with some shyness, hoping to get Li Yi's answer.

But at this moment, Li Yi sighed and said helplessly: "Master's good intentions, I have no reason to refuse. And with Rong Niang and Zhao Qian by my side, I can save a lot of trouble. But not this time. This time, big things are not settled, and enemies are not destroyed. Taking Zhao Qian and Rong Niang back rashly is easy to encounter accidents. In addition, just today, because of the ghosts and gods yesterday, they also came to me, saying that there is a Qi-Refining expert from the Meng family of Qingzhou who is taking five Meridian Cultivation experts straight to Sanyang City. I am still thinking about how to destroy the enemy..."

"What? Qi-Refining expert?"

As soon as this was said, Zhao Ge's face changed suddenly. For a time, the thought of matching the disciple and daughter vanished, and there was only a strong sense of unease and crisis.

Not only him, Rong Niang, Zhao Qian, Skinny Monkey, and others also shrank their eyes, revealing terrified expressions.

Qi-Refining expert?

This kind of martial artist is the representative of the invincible in Xingzhou.

No one can ignore the threat of a Qi-Refining expert.

As long as such an expert appears, Meridian Cultivation martial artists only have the share of kneeling and kowtowing, not even the qualification to speak.

"Everything was fine, how could it provoke such a strong enemy?"

Zhao Ge muttered to himself, but soon reacted: "It's because of the Yang life yesterday, right? I heard my daughter mention this matter before, saying that Meng De, you snatched the ghosts under the Yin God last night and intercepted more than three hundred years of Yang life. My daughter and Rong Niang were able to break through to the Blood Cultivation Realm because you supplemented them with twenty years of life, Meng De."

"But because of this act, it angered the ghosts and gods, which is why it attracted such a disaster."

"Father, it's all daughter's fault. It was daughter who provoked the Yin God at the beginning, so it caused Father to be injured, and now it has brought the Yin God's revenge..." Zhao Qian knelt down immediately, her face full of guilt.

Li Yi said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself. It was me who was carried away by killing ghosts last night."

"No, Meng De, this matter is really related."

Zhao Ge said with a gloomy face: "Just on the first day of last month, in Sanyang City, it was also the night when ghosts and gods appeared. My daughter forgot to close the bedroom window in the middle of the night and was targeted by a Yin God, who wanted to take her away by force. After I noticed it, my blood and energy condensed, and I swung my fist at the Yin God. However, the other party was very strong and immediately seriously injured me, which caused damage to my soul, but it also caused that Yin God to give up the idea of taking my daughter away."

"I thought the matter ended there, but Meng De killed ghosts and snatched life last night. Now that new hatred and old grudges are added together, I guess that Yin God has finally made up his mind to send someone to Sanyang City."

"So that's it." Li Yi nodded. He had guessed before that the Yin God who injured Master was likely the same one who wanted to deal with him.

Because the territory of Sanyang City has ownership. Whoever the Yin God manages is whoever it is, and it won't change suddenly.

"Father, just hand daughter over. Maybe there is still room for maneuver in this matter. There is no need to sacrifice Father's life, Brother Yi, and everyone in the martial arts school for daughter's life. Everything is daughter's fault. If daughter hadn't provoked the Yin God that time, these things wouldn't have happened."

Zhao Qian knelt on the ground and held Zhao Ge's hand, hoping to save everyone by sacrificing herself.

Zhao Ge looked distressed and was very painful at this moment. He only hated that his strength was insufficient and he couldn't break through to the Qi-Refining Realm. Otherwise, why would he fear that Yin God? Nor would he worry about the strong enemy coming.

"Rong Niang, help Zhao Qian up. Don't let her kneel down at every turn." Li Yi said with a very calm expression.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Hearing Li Yi's order, Rong Niang hurriedly pulled the Junior Sister up and didn't let her kneel.

Li Yi continued: "Zhao Qian, this is not your fault. That Yin God doing evil is its fault. You can't feel guilty because you are weak. In my concept, there is no such thing. Master, you don't need to worry either. I have already decided that I will challenge that Qi-Refining expert to a duel under Mount Daqing at noon tomorrow."

"What? Meng De, you want to challenge a Qi-Refining expert to a duel? No, this is absolutely impossible. I know your strength, Meng De. You are invincible among Meridian Cultivation, but if you cross another realm to fight Qi-Refining, there is absolutely no possibility of winning." Zhao Ge's face changed suddenly and he said hurriedly: "Meng De, Master advises you not to act on impulse. You should leave immediately now."

"Take advantage of tonight, enter Ghost Street, leave the Four Seas and Bazhou, and come back for revenge after your strength has greatly increased in the future. With your potential and talent, you don't need to fight for a moment."

Li Yi said: "If I leave, the Zhao Zhao Wuguan will be liquidated. Only by killing that Qi-Refining expert will the Meng family of Qingzhou feel that we are powerful and dare not come to commit crimes. And the Fan family of Xingzhou will also mediate from it, and this matter will end here. If I run away today, the good situation built before will all collapse."

"By then, it won't be just one or two people who die. Everyone's life will have to be filled in."

As soon as this was said, Zhao Ge was also silent.

A Qi-Refining expert coming to liquidate, this price no one can afford. The Zhao Zhao Wuguan, which was finally gathered, will only be killed in a river of blood, and no one can be spared.

"We can escape the Four Seas and Bazhou and leave with Senior Brother." Skinny Monkey suggested at this time.

"This is an idea." Zhao Ge's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Yi again.

Li Yi looked at the sky outside: "Heaven-Tilting is coming, we can't always run away. Master, don't say any more. I have made up my mind, and I have a sniper rifle in my hand. There may not be no hope of winning this battle."

"Firearms?" Only then did everyone suddenly remember that Li Yi had a very powerful firearm in his hand that could shoot and kill enemies from several kilometers away.

"Meng De, can that thing deal with a Qi-Refining expert?" Zhao Ge was a little unconfident at this moment.

He knew that using firearms to shoot and kill Meridian Cultivation was not a problem. This point had already been tried. The arm of Liu Taigong of the Liu family of water transport was gone after being grazed, and if hit head-on, it would definitely be gone.

"That firearm has two types of bullets. The one Zhao Qian used before was only the first type. The second type is more powerful and fierce, and can shoot and kill extraordinary creatures. In terms you can understand, the second type of bullet is used for hunting dragons." Li Yi said.

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes shrank.

Skinny Monkey exclaimed: "No way, Senior Brother, is that thing so powerful? I saw Junior Sister carrying it on her back all day before and couldn't tell."

"Can you tell? You haven't been hit, how would you know."

Zhao Ge scolded, and then said seriously: "If the power of the firearm is really that terrifying, maybe there is a chance to try it. However, this matter must be kept secret. You must never let that Qi-Refining expert know the existence of the firearm. Otherwise, if the news leaks and the other party is prepared, it will be over."

"It's just that the firearm appeared in Sanyang City before, and many people know about it. It's very difficult to keep it secret."

"That's why I chose to challenge to a duel in advance, and the location is outside Sanyang City. That Qi-Refining expert doesn't enter Sanyang City and is from far away. He can't receive the news of the sniper rifle. Once the battle starts, it will be too late even if he knows." Li Yi's gaze flickered. He also had his own thoughts and calculations.

"Makes sense."

Zhao Ge couldn't help but be refreshed, feeling that Li Yi's move of challenging to a duel was very clever. Then he reacted again: "No wonder you chose the foot of Mount Daqing, Meng De. Backed by the big mountain, the other party can only come from one side, and outside Mount Daqing, the vision is open, a plain, the other party can be discovered as soon as they appear, which can maximize the advantage of the firearm."

Then Zhao Ge realized something and immediately pressed his voice: "Skinny Monkey, go to the martial arts school and transfer a few Blood Cultivation disciples over, block this place. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the residence, preventing news from leaking. Whoever dares to violate, kill immediately. The life and death of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan are all in this plan, so don't be careless."

"Master, rest assured, I know. I'll just say Senior Brother and Master are in closed-door practice and need people to guard." Skinny Monkey was also clever and immediately found a reason. Then he bowed and left in a hurry.

Zhao Ge said again: "Meng De, use your eyes to see if there are any ghosts eavesdropping around. If there are, kill them immediately to avoid reporting the news."

Only then did Li Yi understand the importance of having an elder by his side. He still had to learn this kind of seasoned approach well. He nodded immediately and began to patrol around.

Because of last night, he didn't find any ghosts in his residence, so there was no possibility of ghosts reporting the news.

Zhao Ge doing this was also right, just in case.

"Meng De, I know you said these words to calm Master's heart, but in the future, such big things should not be spoken casually. Even if you want to say it, it should be a private conversation." Zhao Ge then exhorted.

"Master is right, I will remember it in the future." Li Yi nodded.

However, there were still benefits after saying it. Now everyone's confidence had greatly increased, they had eaten a reassurance pill, were no longer terrified, and were all preparing for tomorrow's decisive battle.

Once people's hearts are stable, why worry about big things not being accomplished.
