Chapter 75: Dharma King Shi Shi

The arguing in the front courtyard came intermittently, quite chaotic.

Those outstanding young talents and proud daughters had not yet left and all gathered around like they were watching the fun, just as Li Songgu said, it had turned into a family scandal.

However, the news that Li Songlin had picked an exotic herb stained with immortal mist also spread rapidly in Yao Guan City.

……

Li Youyi asked himself if he wanted that exotic herb, but it was far from being a must-have. Whether or not he had the help of that exotic herb, he would still have to fight with everything he had to impact the Nine Springs Ancestral Field.

And the reason he followed Li Songlin to Zao Mei Manor was, firstly, to cherish the care of this Cang Li Armor Head, and secondly, because his identity had been exposed upon arriving in Yao Guan City, and he indeed had to rely on the strength and influence of the Cang Li Tribe to escape better.

Therefore, he didn't care too much about the arguing coming from the front courtyard of the manor because of that exotic herb.

Led by an old servant, Li Youyi arrived at a room specially cleaned and prepared for him, which was very tidy.

After thanking the old servant, he closed the door.

"Fourth Uncle was right; although this Cang Li Tribe has a big family and business, the inside is also a mess. Everyone is fighting for benefits, and everyone wants to take advantage."

Li Youyi lit a bone lamp on the sandalwood table and smiled. In the end, he still felt that he was not suitable to stay in this bustling Zao Mei Manor, and he didn't want to fall into the interest struggles of the Li family. That would only make him physically and mentally exhausted; how could he cultivate with peace of mind?

What he pursued was the Great Dao of Longevity.

His gaze fell on the paper, pen, ink, and inkstone on the table, and he sat down.

Even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't leave without saying goodbye; that would be too impolite.

"Fourth Uncle, Youyi has left Yao Guan City first; I have to go and find my own path. That exotic herb, just treat it as if I have already accepted it; I will remember this favor for a lifetime…"

……

After writing the farewell letter, he folded it and pressed it with a seal.

It was still early, and the sky had just darkened; the streets were crowded and messy.

He had to wait a bit longer.

Li Youyi took the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors out of the Buddha's sarira, put them into the insect tube one by one, and cut off a catty of Cistanche to feed them. He secretly thought about his future path; besides going to the Hidden Gate, he also had to sell magic artifacts and Otherworld Coffins as soon as possible and buy high-grade precious herbs.

If the seven little guys grew to the level of the Five-Sea Realm, he alone could sweep through the Chang Lin Gang.

"First sell Murong Xiao's magic artifact giant bow! The Three-Headed Snake bracelet needs to be blood-sacrificed with one's own blood; it's too evil and harmful to the body, so it can also be sold. However, according to Senior Spirit Tablet's analysis, this is a high-grade magic artifact, worth over a hundred million… I must be cautious when selling it."

"Although there are many experts in Yao Guan, the older generation will definitely not lower their status to make a move. With Cang Li in the city, the Five-Sea Realm powerhouses of the younger generation probably won't dare to act rashly."

Li Youyi calculated and calculated; he was actually extremely safe in Yao Guan City, and only the Spring-Gushing Realm making a move wouldn't anger the Cang Li Tribe.

The arguing outside gradually spread to the backyard.

A middle-aged woman's voice was very sharp: "Fourth, are you determined to give the opportunity to impact the Nine Springs to an outsider? Changfeng is your own nephew, and he also opened Eight Springs; why can't it be him?"

"Changfeng cannot open Nine Springs; there is no hope at all," Li Songlin's voice sounded very impolite.

"Is that outsider definitely able to? It is said that he is just a mortal, and he is already twenty years old. Even if you don't give it to Changfeng, why can't you leave the exotic herb to the pure immortal body in the tribe?" Another quite deep and old man's voice came out.

Li Songlin said calmly and firmly: "Big Brother! Who consumes the herb I picked, I don't need others to help me make the decision."

……

After finally sending the two away, Zao Mei Manor successively welcomed over a dozen waves of people asking for the herb, all of whom were elders of various Jiu Li tribes asking for it for the gifted descendants of their tribes.

After a full hour of being overwhelmed, Li Songlin was truly exhausted, his face becoming colder and colder, and he looked at Li Ling: "Fourth girl, go call Youyi over and let him consume it now, so that everyone doesn't keep staring at it."

He had originally planned to let Li Youyi settle in the Eight Springs realm for a few months before consuming the exotic herb to impact the Ancestral Field.

But in this situation, continuing to keep the exotic herb, not to mention he would be annoyed to death, I'm afraid Li Youyi would also bear huge psychological pressure.

A moment later, Li Ling returned with a letter in her hand, her legs wrapped in blue mist light traces, flying back quickly, anxiously and worriedly saying: "Not good… Fourth Uncle, he's gone, leaving only a letter. I'm going to chase him!"

After handing the letter to Li Songlin, she rushed out the door.

"You come back!"

Li Songgu, sitting in the main seat, flicked his right index finger, and a long spiritual light air lock flew out, imprisoning Li Ling, who had already rushed out of the hall door.

Then, he stood up and said earnestly: "That kid left silently, and even I didn't detect it, which shows his ability to hide and escape is not small. Can you find him?"

Li Ling's body was wrapped seven times by the spiritual light air lock and couldn't break free. She really wanted to tell her father that she could find him.

But the Zen Sea Fog Observation in her body was her biggest secret. It was precisely because of this unparalleled great opportunity that she was able to break through and become a great thought-master at such a fast speed.

She and the Zen Sea Fog Observation were now one in glory and one in loss. This secret, which was enough to shock the entire Ling Xiao Life Realm, naturally could not be known by anyone.

Regarding being close to Li Youyi, it was naturally a task of the Zen Sea Fog Observation at first. But after getting along many times, she truly felt that Li Youyi was a very good person, with his own principles and bottom line, and also a sensible side; at the very least, he was a friend worth making.

She was truly a bit worried that something would happen to Li Youyi leaving alone like this. Thus, she looked at Cang Li and Li Songlin with pleading eyes.

Cang Li went straight out the door and said: "Spread the word to all Five-Sea Realm martial cultivators in the city: Li Youyi's life, I protect! All assassins, or martial cultivators of the Yang Clan and Sui Sect, whoever doesn't listen to this sentence, I will definitely kill him, definitely!"

Above the Dao-Seed Realm, he couldn't manage.

Below the Five-Sea Realm, he didn't want to manage.

After reading the letter, Li Songlin sighed long and then looked at Li Songgu: "He asked me to help take care of the few juniors cultivating in the tribe school, saying that without the exotic herb, he could also open the Ancestral Field, telling me not to worry. Second Brother, can you see the character of this child now?"

"I will personally send someone to look for him; it's all the trouble caused by Big Brother and the others," Li Songgu said.

……

Li Youyi used the Ghost Flag to leave Zao Mei Manor silently.

Of course, the two great experts Li Songgu and Li Songlin, who had walked very far in the fields of martial arts and thought-masters, didn't detect it in advance. The most important reason was that they were exhausted from dealing with those asking for the herb, and their attention was simply not on him.

It was already late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of Yao Guan.

Li Youyi walked quickly in the shadows of the buildings, preparing to leave the city overnight and go directly to the Jiu Li Hidden Gate.

In the Jiu Li Tribe, even the patriarchs of the nine major tribes didn't know the specific location of the Hidden Gate. They were only responsible for selecting one or several geniuses with top-notch talent every year and sending them to a specific location at a specific time.

But as the former leader of the Jiu Li Tribe, Master Coffin naturally knew where the Jiu Li Hidden Gate was.

Li Youyi's speed was very fast, like a residual shadow in the night.

Ahead, the lights were all extinguished, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street. He had already reached the edge of Yao Guan City, and further ahead was the primitive and wild Long Mountain range.

Suddenly.

He stopped and looked back, feeling as if he had been followed the whole time.

"What's going on, am I being suspicious?"

Li Youyi had just turned around when he saw a little fatty of fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly appear three steps away, smiling foolishly at him.

This little fatty was white and tender, with thick black eyebrows, a height of only about 1.6 meters, and a long braid on the top of his head, braided with colorful fine ropes.

He was wearing straw sandals on his feet, his trouser legs were wide, and most of his calves were exposed.

It was exactly the one he met at the noodle stall during the day.

In the short time of a turn, the other party appeared out of thin air. This was not just terrifying speed; the silent and soundless skill of restraining his aura was even more frightening. Li Youyi realized deeply that he had encountered a formidable expert tonight.

"Brother Tianshu, what a coincidence? Where are you going? Can you take me with you?" the little fatty smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Li Youyi said: "How did you find me? At the noodle stall during the day, did you do something to me?"

"It's Qi! I have a wisp of magic Qi that accidentally attached to you during the day."

The little fatty opened his small, tender hand, and immediately a wisp of colorless Qi, as fine as a hair, flew out from Li Youyi's sleeve and returned to his palm.

While Li Youyi was shocked in his heart, he also knew the visitor was not well-intentioned, and his hand slowly grabbed the Yellow Dragon Sword on his back.

"Are you looking for this sword?"

The little fatty took out the Yellow Dragon Sword from behind his back and mobilized the magic power in his body to urge it, but the sword had no reaction at all.

His two thick black eyebrows immediately frowned: "Strange, why can't I urge it?"

Li Youyi smiled bitterly, already realizing the huge gap in cultivation with the other party.

The other party could do so many things silently, so naturally, he could take his life silently.

Li Youyi said: "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I say during the day, my name is Shi Shi."

The little fatty threw the Yellow Dragon Sword over and returned it to Li Youyi: "Come with me! Our relationship is so good, and you even treated me to noodles, so there's no need to make a move, right?"

He took the lead, carrying his small fat hands behind his back, and walked toward the night curtain where the Long Mountain range was.

But at this moment, the darkness ahead was like the abyss-like mouth of a demon; as long as one walked in, it seemed like one would be smashed to pieces.

Li Youyi took the Yellow Dragon Sword and secretly thought about the possibility of releasing the giant camel to escape, or the success rate of mobilizing the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to pull the other party into the blood-mud space.

But the other party's speed was too fast, and it took time for him to mobilize the magic artifact.

Once he failed and exposed these two things, I'm afraid there would truly be no way to survive today!

Li Youyi said: "You're not here to kill me?"

"Why would I kill you? We have no grudges; is it for that pitiful bounty from the Five Burial Temples? That's too low-class; if people find out, they will definitely laugh at me."

Seeing Li Youyi still in place, the little fatty turned to look at him: "Don't be so nervous, I'm looking for you for a good thing. Look at me, do I look like a bad person?"

Li Youyi said: "Might as well say it first, what exactly is the good thing."

The little fatty sighed: "Initially, it was my Ninth Brother who wanted to find you; you should know him, he said you met in Burial Immortal Town."

Li Youyi's heart moved, his eyes changed accordingly, and he realized why the other party wasn't afraid of the Cang Li Tribe, and said in shock: "Are you talking about Shi Jiuzhai? Are you from the Earth Wolf Army?"

"Yeah, I'm Shi Shi, full name Shi Shishi," the little fatty said.

Li Youyi was completely dumbfounded, and the last fantasy of escape in his heart was also crushed. Because, being able to use Shi as a surname and ten as an order, he must be one of the ten Dharma Kings of the Earth Wolf Army.

His cultivation was so high that it was absolutely impossible for it to be as simple as the first or second level of the Five-Sea Realm.

Where was the way to survive today?

What exactly did the other party want to do?

Li Youyi stared at the little fatty's pure and smiling little eyes, finally resigned to his fate, and followed. But he left a footprint that was neither deep nor shallow on the ground.

"That's right! If you really made me capture you, and outsiders found out, they would say Shi Shi doesn't have any class, and then no one would ever treat me to dinner again!" Shi Shishi said.

Li Youyi wanted to know more information and strive for more survival opportunities, so he asked: "What does Dharma King Jiuzhai want with me?"

"A month ago, after recognizing you from the blood battle by the Sui River, it was Ninth Brother who wanted to find you. But today, it's actually me who wants to find you, to find you to help us do a big thing. I feel that your strength and brain are not bad, and you should be able to handle it."

Shi Shishi added: "By the way! Ninth Brother said that you said you would follow him in Burial Immortal Town, but you ran away in a puff of smoke, and your words didn't count."

Walking out of Yao Guan City, all around was a dense forest in pitch black.

Li Youyi suddenly stopped: "Not good, a sudden stomach ache, how about letting me solve it first?"

Shi Shishi smiled: "You're not thinking of running away, are you? Don't look at me as fat; I'm very fast."

"I'm just a Spring-Gushing Realm, how could I escape from a Dharma King? I have this self-knowledge," Li Youyi said.

Shi Shishi said: "Fine, don't go too far."

Li Youyi walked quickly into the dense forest, and after walking dozens of steps, he arrived under a cypress tree as thick as a bucket.

He naturally didn't really have a stomach ache, but was preparing to put some important magic artifacts on his body into the blood-mud space. Shi Shishi didn't seem interested in magic artifacts, or perhaps he felt that the magic artifacts on him wouldn't have any high-grade goods.

But the Evil Camel Bell, Ghost Flag, and Scripture Belt—if these magic artifacts were touched by Shi Jiuzhai and he mobilized them with magic power, he could judge their value.

His life needed to be saved, and the magic artifacts needed to be saved even more.

After putting all the important magic artifacts into the blood-mud space, Li Youyi walked out from behind the tree and stretched comfortably: "Look, I didn't run, I'm still very honest."

The two continued to walk into the depths of the dense forest.

By the stream in the valley, a campfire was burning, and the firewood was crackling.

Shi Jiuzhai was sitting alone on a blue stone by the campfire, his long hair slightly curled, and the yellow flames reflected on his well-defined cheeks, making him look like a sculpture with extremely masculine charm.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes to look at Shi Shishi and Li Youyi walking out of the darkness and smiled: "The one you found is actually him."

Shi Shishi sat on the ground by the campfire: "A month ago, didn't you also want to find him? Eh, Sixth Brother hasn't come back yet?"

"Him? Who knows which peerless beauty hooked his soul!"

Shi Jiuzhai's eyes fell on Li Youyi, cold, with a wisp of smile overflowing: "You know who I am, right? You know the price of deceiving me? Shi, his strength is considered okay, but compared to Nine Springs martial cultivators, there is still a significant gap."

Li Youyi had been listening and analyzing; the Earth Wolf Army seemed to be looking for someone to help them do something.

In other words, as long as he was useful, he could survive today.

No matter how intimidating Shi Jiuzhai looked at the moment, or how much he wanted to teach him a lesson, it couldn't change this point.

Li Youyi said: "The name of Dharma King Jiuzhai is like thunder in the Southern Border; how could I not know? I think that for a big figure like you, if you were deceived by a junior of the Spring-Gushing Realm, that absolutely cannot be blamed on the other party; it can only be blamed on your poor eye for people."

Shi Jiuzhai's eyelids pressed down, and cold wind flickered in his pupils, as if sword light and shadow were constantly flying out.

A prisoner, how could he be so arrogant?

Could it be that the four words "Dharma King Jiuzhai" no longer had any deterrent power in the Southern Border?

"Ninth Brother, how come I feel that what he said makes a little sense. If I were deceived by a four or five-year-old child, I would definitely slap myself twice first," Shi Shishi said.
