Li Rui's pupils shrank fiercely.

"First Search for Immortal Traces?!"

The system couldn't be fake, which meant that this Ask Zui Xian Lou was really related to the legendary immortals!

A seventy-year-old man, seeing the four words Become Immortal and Ancestor, his heart was also thumping.

He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, his surface as usual.

"Girl, don't try to deceive this old man; why have I never heard of the Ask Zui Xian Lou."

The woman Yao Xue pursed her lips: "Has my lord heard of the Hidden Sect."

Li Rui frowned.

As a patrol of the Anning Guard, he had of course heard of the Hidden Sect.

The Yu Kingdom imperial court divided the sects of the world into Manifest Sects and Hidden Sects.

Let's put it this way.

Any sect that has been heard of can be classified as a Manifest Sect, and these sects must be restrained by the imperial court.

It's not that if you go to a deep mountain or old forest to live in seclusion, you are a Hidden Sect.

Generally speaking, the number of people in a Hidden Sect is extremely small, paying attention to being out of the world; even if they enter the world, they must hide their identities.

The sect and disciples are extremely mysterious.

Li Rui didn't expect that this time, by mistake, he actually encountered people from the Hidden Sect.

Many Hidden Sects are obsessed with seeking immortality and asking the Dao; from the system prompt, it can be seen that he encountered someone who really had ability.

And not that these two before him were deceiving him to survive.

Couldn't help but grin.

"So it's an expert from the Ask Zui Xian Lou."

While speaking, he wanted to help Yao Xue, who had fallen to the ground, up.

"In one's position, one plans one's duty; this old man was just worried that demons of the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao were impersonating and mixing into Qinghe, so I had to take action, I hope the girl won't blame me."

Yao Xue shook her head: "What the lord did was his duty; it was the little girl who deliberately hid it, I hope the lord will forgive me."

The imperial court has always been lenient toward the Hidden Sect.

On one hand, the number of people in the Hidden Sect is small and does not constitute a threat; on the other hand, it has to be said about that National Teacher.

The first person to hide in the city.

The National Teacher is the leader of the Hidden Sects in the world, which is why the imperial court opens a side door for the Hidden Sect.

Li Rui cupped his hands: "Since you are experts in seclusion, then we won't disturb your cultivation."

No longer the previous domineering.

He decisively turned around and prepared to leave, without any intention of entanglement.

This is to show.

Everything done was public business; as for whether the woman could understand, that was not something Li Rui needed to worry about.

Respect is respect; as a patrol of the Anning Guard, in terms of strength, he has strength, and in terms of background, it is the entire Annan Town, so he really isn't afraid of a Hidden Sect like the Ask Zui Xian Lou.

Yao Xue bit her lower lip, hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Just as Li Rui was about to step away, she spoke:

"My lord, the little girl has one more request."

Hearing this, Li Rui stopped his figure: "What is the girl's request? Just say it, I don't know if this old man can lend a hand?"

"We came down the mountain this time, there were three of us in total, and there was another senior brother, who was attacked by demon beasts just now and separated from us two; can the lord help search? The little girl will be eternally grateful."

Li Rui pondered: "This is easy to say."

Hearing Li Rui agree, Yao Xue's eyes were full of joy, and she bowed gracefully: "Thank you, my lord."

After understanding the inside story. Li Rui asked the junior brother and sister to wait here for a moment; he needed to explain the reason to his colleagues.

In a moment, Li Rui walked to Ge Hong and Tan Hu.

In a few words, he explained the general situation.

According to the agreement, he didn't say that the two came from the Ask Zui Xian Lou, only that they came from the Hidden Sect.

Hearing this, Ge Hong and Tan Hu were even more surprised.

Talisman Masters were already rare enough.

The Hidden Sect was even rarer; didn't expect to encounter them today.

After some discussion, the three immediately led troops to follow Yao Xue and Qu Chengfeng to search along the road they came.

Two hours later.

Finally, in a bush, they found the senior brother Yao Xue spoke of, but when found, he had become a mutilated corpse, his body gnawed beyond recognition.

Seeing this scene, Yao Xue and Qu Chengfeng looked sorrowful.

"Senior Brother really met with disaster..."

Qu Chengfeng didn't expect that his first time down the mountain to train, he would encounter a life-and-death killing robbery, and his senior brother even lost his life because of this.

Yao Xue quickly tidied up her emotions and bowed to Li Rui and the others again:

"Thank you, lords, for the life-saving grace today; the little girl will keep it in her heart."

Saying this.

She took out a jade pendant from her sleeve: "The little girl has no valuable objects, this object is called the Immortal Seeking Stone, which has the effect of attracting blessings and calming the heart, so I will give it to you all."

Li Rui, Tan Hu, and Ge Hong exchanged glances.

And then Li Rui reached out and took it.

It felt warm to the touch, not only because it was worn by Yao Xue all the time, but also because the jade itself was extraordinary.

Afterward.

Yao Xue and Qu Chengfeng wanted to stay behind to bury their senior brother.

The Hidden Sect itself is unwilling to have much contact with the secular world.

Continuing to stay would instead make people think they had ulterior motives.

After repeatedly asking if they needed help.

Li Rui led everyone down the mountain.

On the mountain road.

Ge Hong then talked enthusiastically: "I've heard of the Hidden Sect, but it's the first time I've seen one."

Tan Hu also nodded:

"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem strange." They didn't ask Li Rui which Hidden Sect the two came from; anyway, even if he said it, they wouldn't know, and it would break the rules.

Li Rui took out the jade pendant he got from Yao Xue:

"Little Brother Ge, Little Brother Tan, I have quite an eye for this jade pendant, why not let it be given to me, calculated according to the value of a Sixth-Rank spirit elixir, and then I will compensate you two little brothers with one Seventh-Rank spirit elixir each."

Ge Hong and Tan Hu both waved their hands upon hearing this.

Didn't you hear that little girl just now, that thing is just strange, and can't be eaten, just attracting blessings and calming the heart, no practical effect.

Li Rui took it, and they had no opinion at all.

Seeing that neither of them declined.

Li Rui didn't push it much.

Thinking to himself that he would just send the things to their residences another day.

The system won't be fake; since it's the first search for immortal traces, the opportunity referred to is likely this small jade stone called the Immortal Seeking Stone.

"Seeking Immortal..."

The two teams returned to the Anning Guard in a mighty manner.

The soldiers of the Wu-rank battalion and the Galloping Tiger Cavalry carried the corpses of two tiger-leopard beasts and swaggered through the streets, drawing sighs from many passing soldiers.

"This is... a demon beast?!"

"Two, this is too powerful."

"Good heavens, two medium merits, damn it, why am I not in the Wu-rank battalion and the Galloping Tiger Cavalry!"

Tan Hu glanced at the two demon beasts behind him, holding his head high and chest out.

Fortunately, they listened to Li Rui and kept guarding Willow Tree Village, which allowed them to get this great merit.

Beheading demon beasts.

And they are Seventh-Rank demon beasts.

Military officers like Tan Hu can get four medium merits; as long as they gather one more medium merit, that's a great merit!

Can exchange for many good things.

Besides this, the soldiers below will also be rewarded according to their rank and contribution, and the worst can get a small merit.

For ordinary soldiers, that is a huge merit.

That's why others were so jealous when they saw it.

Since it was a task assigned by Ning Zhongtian, naturally they had to go to Ning Zhongtian to report the situation.

Li Rui led people to the residence where Ning Zhongtian worked first.

Just walked in.

Saw Ning Zhongtian discussing something with Lu Jun.

Ning Zhongtian turned his head.

First saw the two tiger-leopard beasts, and then cast his gaze on Li Rui and the three.

He looked happy:

"Good, very good!"

The task was issued by him, so he naturally understood that Li Rui and the three not only beheaded the demon beasts, but killed two at once.

This really made him show his face in the Anning Guard.

Lu Jun saw it and also secretly marveled.

Beheading two demon beasts in one breath, excluding the last large-scale demon chaos, this is already the largest merit in the near future.

A trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Ning Zhongtian has good luck, actually having such brave subordinates."

For a superior, just being powerful yourself is not enough; you can't do everything yourself, you also need subordinates to save face for you.

These three under Ning Zhongtian did a very good job.

"Li Rui..."

Lu Jun finally cast his gaze on Li Rui.

How could he not see that the Galloping Tiger Cavalry has repeatedly made strange merits recently, and the key person is Li Rui.

Before Li Rui arrived at the Galloping Tiger Cavalry, the Galloping Tiger Cavalry was famous for causing trouble.

"Dig him over!"

Lu Jun faintly had the idea of digging the wall corner.

"Anyway, they are all people of the Anning Guard, where is it not serving?"

Ning Zhongtian naturally didn't know that this old fellow Lu Jun had the idea of digging the wall corner in front of him, and was still happy: "Don't worry, I will report this matter to Lord Jiang, everyone has merit!"

After Ning Zhongtian finished being happy.

Li Rui then leaned forward and told Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun the matter of meeting the Ask Zui Xian Lou today in a voice only they could hear.

For Ge Hong and Tan Hu, he could only say Hidden Sect.

But for superiors like Ning Zhongtian and Lu Jun, hiding and tucking away was looking for discomfort.

What he promised Yao Xue was to say as little as possible.

But this range naturally didn't include these top superiors of the Anning Guard.

To help others keep secrets, and as a result, his own interests were damaged.

Li Rui wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

This is what the old man often says about distinguishing between light and heavy.

After handling everything.

Li Rui then returned to the residence.

After eating.

After practicing martial arts, he ducked into the quilt, and then he began to study the small characters on the panel.

"First Search for Immortal Traces..."

"First time?"

Li Rui frowned slightly; he had been thinking about this all day today.

Logically speaking.

He had eaten immortal treasure, and heard news of immortal law from the Headless Slave, so he should have contacted immortal fate long ago; why did it take so long to trigger the first plot of Becoming Immortal and Ancestor.

"Unless..."

Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.

"This is all a trap set by the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao!"

The immortal treasure is fake.

The immortal law is also fake.

Everything is a smoke bomb released by the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao, all to deceive the world, and it is even possible that even the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao's own people, and even the Mother of Ten Thousand Ghosts, were deceived.

Li Rui smelled a trace of conspiracy.

"Just act as if you don't know about this matter, and absolutely don't get involved in it."
