Chapter 247: Grouping Up to Deceive

"Is what you say true?"

Hearing Xing Li's words, Lingxingzi suddenly felt a bit tempted.

If it were truly as Xing Li said, the harvest after killing Mu Lingxi and the others would very likely be even greater than he had imagined.

"Naturally, it is true."

Xing Li smiled helplessly, "You are my respected Senior Brother, what benefit could I possibly gain from deceiving you?"

"Even if that Mu Lingxi is truly stronger than Xuan Xingzi, if Senior Brother is no match, can't you just flee? In that case, wouldn't I be driving myself into a dead end?"

"Do you think I would be foolish enough to do such a stupid thing?"

Lingxingzi stared at Xing Li, his gaze flickering incessantly.

He knew Xing Li's personality very well.

The other party was a smart person and truly had no reason to harm him.

Moreover, their encounter this time was purely accidental, and it was he who had taken the initiative to catch up.

There was no possibility that Mu Lingxi and the others had conspired with Xing Li.

And besides.

Even if the other party had conspired, so what?

If he couldn't win, couldn't he just flee?

If he were determined to flee, in this Desolate Tower, apart from that top-tier group of existences who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation and achieved Nascent Soul,

who could keep him here?

Thinking of this, his heart settled, and he nodded, "Junior Sister is right; Senior Brother was overly cautious."

"Give me that hair; I will divine the location of that Mu Lingxi."

Whoosh~

A Water Sword slashed down from the air.

A wolf-like creature with a semi-illusory body and crimson eyes was split in two.

Thump~

The severed corpse of the wolf-like creature fell to the ground without a drop of blood flowing out.

After a moment of silence, it turned into a wisp of yellow energy and flew toward a young woman with a stunning appearance and an ethereal temperament, merging into her body.

Mu Lingxi let out a long sigh of relief.

She looked at the two figures beside her, "Senior Sister Yu Yao, Senior Sister Yutong, are you both alright?"

"Nothing serious."

Wang Yuyao and Su Yutong shook their heads.

At this moment, both of their faces were somewhat pale, and each had a bloody wound on their bodies.

Recalling the scene just now, they couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in their hearts.

Among the Desolate Beasts they had encountered, although this one just now was not the strongest, it was definitely the most dangerous.

This Desolate Beast actually possessed a trace of consciousness and knew how to launch a sneak attack.

If not for Mu Lingxi acting in time,

the two of them might have been severely injured, if not killed, in this Desolate Beast's attack.

Hearing the response from Wang Yuyao and Su Yutong, Mu Lingxi nodded and pondered for a moment, "You two should recover first. This Desolate Realm is full of Desolate Beasts, and there are many other dangers; it is very dangerous to travel while injured."

"I will stand guard for you."

Wang Yuyao and Su Yutong nodded and sat cross-legged on the spot.

After each took a Pill, they began to meditate and recover.

Half a day later.

The two of them had mostly recovered from their injuries.

They stood up and looked at Mu Lingxi, about to speak.

They discovered that Mu Lingxi was staring at the distant horizon, her brows tightly furrowed.

Her expression seemed somewhat off.

Their expressions shifted, and they were about to ask.

Just at this moment.

Two auras suddenly drifted over from the horizon.

They subconsciously looked into the distance and immediately discovered that two figures had appeared on the horizon at some unknown time, rapidly approaching them.

The two of them tightened their expressions and flashed, appearing beside Mu Lingxi.

When they looked into the air again,

those two figures had become clear.

The two were a man and a woman.

Upon seeing the appearance of that man and woman, the gazes of Wang Yuyao and Su Yutong simultaneously locked onto the woman.

Their expressions tightened at the same time.

That is...

Xing Li!

After just a few breaths.

The two figures flew over and appeared aggressively above the three of them.

Wang Yuyao's gaze swept over the man and then landed on Xing Li.

"Fairy Xing Li, what is the meaning of this?"

"What is the meaning?"

"Naturally, it is to seek revenge against you all!"

Xing Li gave a cold laugh, her gaze sweeping over the three of them one by one, "You first brutally murdered my Senior Brother Tianxingzi, and then used despicable means to kill my Senior Brother Xuan Xingzi."

"Fortunately, I was clever enough to feign submission to you, which is how I managed to survive."

"Now, I have finally seized the opportunity to temporarily break free from your control while Wang Jianqiang is away."

"Your actions have already forged a blood feud with my Star Palace."

"Heaven has shown mercy, allowing me to encounter Senior Brother Lingxingzi."

"Today, I have specifically brought Senior Brother Lingxingzi here to seek revenge against you."

As she spoke, a strong murderous intent surged from her body.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyao's expression changed, and she became secretly vigilant.

Su Yutong looked at Xing Li, her heart stirred, and a strange look flashed across her eyes.

Mu Lingxi narrowed her beautiful eyes, a look of deep wariness appearing on her face.

"Xing Li, you actually dare to retaliate against us!"

"Are you not afraid that after my Senior Brother finds out, he will detonate your Soul Imprint and destroy you?"

Xing Li gave a look of disdain, "As long as I can slaughter you all today, how would that Wang Jianqiang know it was my doing?"

"Besides, he is merely an Alchemy Cultivator who is not skilled in combat; he only attained first place on the Shenfeng City Battle Stele by relying on a powerful offensive secret treasure."

"In terms of personal combat strength, he is nothing."

Speaking to this point, a strange look flashed across her face.

"As long as you all die, I will then return to lure him into the Desolate Realm, and under Senior Brother Lingxingzi's surprise attack, with his laughable strength, he will certainly not have time to use his secret treasure."

"At that time, he will be crushed to death by Senior Brother Lingxingzi in one blow, just like a weak ant."

"Once he is dead, I will be able to cast off the Soul Seal and regain my freedom."

Hearing Xing Li's words.

The furious Wang Yuyao's expression stalled, she blinked, and then her anger grew even more intense.

Su Yutong suddenly understood in her heart, and a cold look spread across her face.

Mu Lingxi's expression was startled, and she coldly snorted, "Your plan is well-conceived, but do you really think you can finish us off?"

"Hahaha, stop bluffing."

Just as Mu Lingxi finished speaking, a loud laugh erupted from Lingxingzi.

He stared at the three of them, Mu Lingxi and the others, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.

He had only just learned from what Xing Li said that besides the treasures Wang Jianqiang snatched from Xuan Xingzi, he actually possessed a powerful offensive secret treasure.

As long as he killed these three women.

And then lured Wang Jianqiang into the Desolate Realm to kill him.

The battle merits and treasures would all be his!

Thinking of this, the excitement on his face was almost impossible to suppress.

Looking at Mu Lingxi and the others, he laughed coldly, "I have already learned all your secrets from my Junior Sister; relying on just you, you cannot escape from my palm."

Hearing Lingxingzi's words, an irrepressible look of worry appeared in the expressions of Su Yutong and Wang Yuyao.

A look of panic flashed across Mu Lingxi's face, but then, as if pretending to be calm, she looked at Lingxingzi, "Is that so? You can come and try."

Upon hearing this, Lingxingzi frowned, his expression flickering.

Seeing that Lingxingzi was actually scared off just like that, Xing Li cursed him as a piece of trash under her breath, and looked at Lingxingzi without changing her expression, "Senior Brother, she is just bluffing you."

As she spoke, she looked coldly at Mu Lingxi again.

"If she truly had the ability, she would have already made a move; why would she need to say so much to us?"

As her words fell, Mu Lingxi's expression changed noticeably.

Sensing the change in Mu Lingxi's expression, Lingxingzi finally felt completely at ease.

He stepped through the air and appeared in front of Xing Li.

"Hahaha, Junior Sister need not worry."

"Senior Brother naturally knows that they are just bluffing."
