Chapter 183: Star Palace, Xing Li

Sensing the killing intent on the man, Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows, looked straight at the man in blue, and the smile on his face deepened a little.

Seeing the smile on Wang Jianqiang's face, the woman in the silver long dress suddenly felt her heart beat wildly.

Immediately after, she seemed to have sensed something, her beautiful eyes shrank, and she hurriedly said to the man in blue before her, "Daoist Friend Shen, stop."

Hearing the words of the woman in the silver dress, the young man in blue paused his steps and looked over at her with a frown.

"Xingli Xianzi, the scene of us emerging from the land of opportunity has already been seen by this person."

"You must also know the value of this Remnant Tower."

"Once this matter spreads, it will inevitably bring us endless trouble."

"This person must absolutely not be left alive."

Just as the man in blue finished speaking, another man among the three also walked out.

"Daoist Friend Shen is right."

"Danger must be nipped in the bud."

"I, Bao, just used a Spirit Testing Treasure to check this person's cultivation, and it is merely at the Golden Core Mid Stage."

"Such an ant can be crushed to death with a wave of the hand; there is no need to keep him."

As he spoke, he reached his palm out toward Wang Jianqiang.

Above his palm, thick Spiritual Power surged out.

It had clearly reached the strength of Golden Core Perfection.

Just as he attacked toward Wang Jianqiang, a sharp, whistling sound suddenly came from behind him.

Immediately after, he felt a sudden pain in his back, and a Flying Sword abruptly pierced through his heart from behind.

His body stiffened, and with a face full of disbelief, he fell to the ground with a thud.

All signs of life were gone!

"Xing Li, you—"

This sudden scene stunned the man in blue; just as he turned his head, another Flying Sword had already appeared before him.

His expression was startled, and he instinctively activated his protective Spiritual Power.

However, the next moment, his protective Spiritual Power was pierced through by the Flying Sword as if it were made of paper, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.

His chest and heart were instantly run through by the Flying Sword.

His expression immediately froze, and he fell to the ground with a face full of disbelief.

This sudden scene left Wang Jianqiang stunned.

He could not help but size up this woman called Xing Li.

Facing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, the woman's expression clearly tightened, and she managed a smile, saying, "Xing Li has no intention of being an enemy to Daoist Friend. My two companions have already paid the price for their arrogance, so please, Daoist Friend, do not be angry."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Wang Jianqiang and was about to leave in another direction.

"Wait."

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang suddenly spoke up to stop her.

Xing Li's body stiffened, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang with a cautious expression, "May I ask what other instructions Daoist Friend has?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang looked Xing Li over with interest.

Just a moment ago, he had suddenly sensed a familiar power on the other party.

"I have no instructions." He looked at Xing Li with interest, "I just feel that Fairy is somewhat similar to an old acquaintance of mine."

Xing Li's eyes shrank, and she said calmly, "Oh? Is that so? Then that is truly a coincidence. I wonder who I, Xing Li, resemble to Daoist Friend? A friend, a relative, or...?"

"None of the above." Wang Jianqiang shook his head and continued, "Literally, a deceased enemy."

Xing Li's expression stiffened, "Then Daoist Friend must have sensed it wrong. This is only the first time Xing Li has met Daoist Friend; how could I be an enemy to Daoist Friend Wang?"

"Daoist Friend need not be nervous." A kind smile rose on Wang Jianqiang's face, "Didn't I, Wang, say it? It is just a resemblance."

Xing Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Since that is the case, Xing Li has urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. Farewell."

As she spoke, she prepared to leave.

"Does Xingli Xianzi know of the faction called Star Palace?"

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind again.

Xing Li's body stiffened, and a flash of paleness crossed her face.

Know of it? She knew more than that.

She was actually one of the Ten Great Star Envoys of this generation of Star Palace.

Every important figure in Star Palace would cultivate a secret technique.

If they were to fall, their dissipating Star Power would automatically gather on the killer to form a special mark that only Star Palace Cultivators could perceive.

This mark was the Star Grudge Power.

Just a moment ago, she had sensed a dense amount of Star Grudge Power on Wang Jianqiang.

In other words, the other party had once killed an important figure of Star Palace.

And in this Assessment Secret Realm, the only important figures of Star Palace were the Star Envoys.

In other words, this person had once killed a Star Envoy.

Among the Ten Great Star Envoys, she was ranked eighth, at the bottom of the list.

Since this person was capable of killing a Star Envoy, then regardless of which Star Envoy they had killed, it was extremely dangerous information for her.

Therefore, when her companions showed killing intent toward the other party, her first reaction was to cast a divination for herself.

The divination...

Great Omen!

It indicated that if they provoked the other party, they would surely die!

It is as the saying goes: better a dead Daoist Friend than a dead me.

In any case, it was her companion who provoked the other party, not her.

Therefore, she chose to backstab her teammate, hoping to use this to soften the attitude of the person before her and thereby escape.

Unfortunately, although her idea was good, she had not anticipated that the other party's sensory ability would be so keen.

Even though she had been trying her best to restrain the Star Power on her body, she still failed to hide it from the other party's perception.

The Star Power on her body was detected by the other party.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I know, and to be honest with you, Daoist Friend, Xing Li is actually one of the Ten Great Star Envoys of this generation of the Star Palace."

Since the other party had already guessed her identity, she simply stopped hiding it and admitted it openly.

After speaking, she feigned a look of confusion on her face and continued to Wang Jianqiang, "I wonder what business you have inquiring about the Star Palace, Daoist Friend?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Xing Li with a smile, "When Tianxingzi died at my hands, he once swore that other Star Envoys would avenge him; presumably, there must be a special method to let other Star Envoys know that it was I who killed him."

"Can the Fairy not sense it?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li's expression stiffened.

She was already cursing in her heart.

That idiot Tianxingzi, if he was going to die, he should have just died; why did he have to blab about everything?

Now it was fine, he had dragged her into the water as well.

Immediately after, she felt a bit of shock in her heart.

She had been guessing which Star Envoy had fallen before, but she hadn't expected it to be Tianxingzi.

Tianxingzi ranked fourth among the Ten Great Star Envoys of this generation.

Both his strength and his attainments in Astrology were far superior to hers.

To think he actually died at this person's hands!

Thinking of this, she became increasingly cautious in her heart.

"Xing Li has indeed sensed it."

"But you are truly overthinking it, Daoist Friend; from beginning to end, Xing Li has never thought of being your enemy."

As she spoke, she sighed, "Although we Ten Great Star Envoys all come from the Star Palace, our relationship is not as good as you think, Daoist Friend; on the contrary, there is great competition between us."

"With Tianxingzi dead, I have one less competitor; I'm too happy to even care, so how could I possibly become your enemy for his sake, Daoist Friend?"

Xing Li said these words with great emotion.

By the end, a look of deep gratitude even appeared on her face.

If not for seeing the Good and Evil Value of -80 on her Attribute Panel, he almost would have believed her.
