Chapter 388: Intercepted on the Way, Falling into the Trap【Please Subscribe】

"Fellow Daoist Zhao Gongming, where are you heading?"

Zhao Gongming left Wen Zhong's camp and sped rapidly toward Mount Luofu.

Halfway there, several figures appeared instantly, blocking his path.

Especially the leader, who looked at him with ill intent.

Seeing the person, a look of pain and hatred flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes:

"Ran Deng, you actually dare to appear before me?"

"Using despicable and shameless means to snatch my Sea-Calming Pearls, I will definitely not let this go!"

Although Li Hongxuan had occupied Mount Wuyi a step earlier and obtained the Treasure-Dropping Money.

However, in this Investiture Great Tribulation.

Zhao Gongming still had his Sea-Calming Pearls snatched away by Ran Deng through other means.

It seems Zhao Gongming was truly not destined for the Sea-Calming Pearls!

Even though Li Hongxuan had helped him so much in secret, he still couldn't protect his own belongings.

Even Li Hongxuan was extremely helpless when he saw this.

However, if he let Ran Deng snatch the Sea-Calming Pearls and make them his magic treasure for attaining the Dao, Li Hongxuan would never let him have his way.

The key was that this guy was destined to be an enemy, not a friend.

It was even more impossible to let the Sea-Calming Pearls fund the enemy.

No matter what, Li Hongxuan had to take them back.

However, as magic treasures, the Sea-Calming Pearls naturally had their own tribulations.

Now, having passed through Ran Deng's hands, they could be considered to have completed their tribulation.

It was time for them to return.

And this time, Zhao Gongming returned to Mount Luofu alone with a severely injured body.

The Three Xiao sisters knew there might be danger, but they didn't personally escort him.

Naturally, this was Li Hongxuan secretly instructing the Three Xiao sisters to do so.

It was to lure Ran Deng out and teach him a profound lesson.

As for killing him, although Li Hongxuan was somewhat tempted, he wouldn't do it.

The disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

How could Li Hongxuan do something thankless?

Taking back the Sea-Calming Pearls was already the best thing he could do for Zhao Gongming.

Killing Ran Deng would very likely bring out the two Sages of the West.

For Li Hongxuan, now was not the time to clash with the two Sages of the West.

It wasn't that Li Hongxuan feared them.

But the effort wouldn't yield enough reward.

It wasn't worth it for now.

Ultimately, to Li Hongxuan, Ran Deng was just a minor character; even if he achieved Quasi-Sage in the future, killing him would be an easy task.

Disrupting the steps of his future Great Dao path just for Zhao Gongming.

Was not worth it.

If it were the Three Xiao sisters, that would be a different matter.

If Ran Deng had caused the Three Xiao sisters to be nearly killed.

Even with Sage protection, Li Hongxuan would use any means to kill him. ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
