Chapter 91

"Whoosh!"

With a blood sacrifice, plus the activation of magic power from a Five Seas Realm martial cultivator, the three-headed snake blood soul flew out from the bracelet.

When Director Yang performed the blood sacrifice, the three-headed snake blood soul that flew out was only a wisp, about the thickness of a bowl and six or seven meters long, extremely faint.

But under the activation of Yin Twenty-four, the blood soul that flew out of the bracelet was actually over ten meters long, as thick as a water bucket, its body extremely solid, and its scales looking as if they were cast from metal.

The entire courtyard was filled with blood energy.

The blood soul had three heads and fought with the ghost general holding the phoenix-beak saber, swallowing it into its belly in an instant.

"Boom!"

The three-headed snake blood soul suddenly charged out, and the Thirty-three Character Passing Spirit Battle Array opposite instantly collapsed; all thirty-three green-clad eunuchs were thrown into the air, and most of them died on the spot.

Yin Twenty-four mobilized stronger magic power to activate the three-headed snake bracelet, and immediately, the blood inside the corpses on the ground turned into streams of blood energy, flying continuously into the bracelet on her wrist.

The color of the blood jade bracelet became even redder.

Li Youyi's eyes were full of shock.

After Yin Twenty-four retracted the three-headed snake blood soul into the bracelet, she noticed Li Youyi's gaze.

She hurriedly said, "As expected, it is only a blood soul comparable to the third realm of the Five Seas, but it is more than enough to deal with a Thirty-three Character Passing Spirit Battle Array formed by a group of Gushing Spring Realm cultivators."

The more she explained, the less Li Youyi believed her: "Why don't you return the bracelet to me?"

"This blood sacrifice... it really consumes blood energy and is extremely harmful to the body; I don't know how long it will take to recover..." Yin Twenty-four revealed a weak state, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Li Youyi said, "I am not completely ignorant of blood sacrifice artifacts, am I? The stronger the enemy faced and the longer the battle, the greater the consumption of blood energy. You just had one clash and broke the battle array; can it consume you to this extent?"

Being exposed, Yin Twenty-four's little face showed an embarrassed smile, and she hid the bracelet deep in her sleeve: "Don't worry, leave the Flame Pills to me, I will definitely gather the money. These seven insects of yours are not simple; five of them working together can make even a Five Seas Realm cultivator have no power to fight back."

She was too surprised in her heart!

The seven Phoenix-Wing Moth Emperors often stole medicinal herbs in the medicinal diet room, and she had seen them several times.

Before this, how could Yin Twenty-four have imagined that Li Youyi, with his low mental power, possessed seven fierce insects whose combat power was so remarkable?

Seeing Li Youyi and Yin Twenty-four looking at him together, Shi Chuanyu was instantly filled with despair.

"Bang!"

Yin Twenty-four rode the wind and flashed away, striking his chest with one palm.

Shi Chuanyu's body flew out, crashing through a pavilion and being submerged in the ruins.

"Pfft!"

Li Youyi descended from the sky, piercing his heart with one sword and nailing him to the ground.

"You... you have no idea what kind of storm you... you have been dragged into... you won't have a good end..." Blood kept gushing from Shi Chuanyu's mouth, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he could see the ending of Li Youyi and Yin Twenty-four.

Li Youyi's expression became grave...

He then began to loot the corpses.

This Long Lin Gang was extremely wealthy, easily able to produce 100,000 silver coins, which other gangs could not compare to.

After looting the three gang leaders one by one, Li Youyi hijacked a Seven Springs martial cultivator and rushed to the backyard to find the gang's treasury.

He certainly knew that time was urgent and he could not stay here for long, so he only looted roughly and did not search deeply.

Arriving at the backyard dungeon, Li Youyi indeed saw that a large number of young girls and children were imprisoned here, all wearing leg shackles. He was instantly filled with rage and killed the Seven Springs martial cultivator who was leading the way with one sword strike.

Looking at the pitiful eyes in the dungeon, Li Youyi didn't know what to do for a moment. Even if he opened the dungeon and let them out, they would have no way to survive on their own, and in the end, they would either starve to death or fall into the hands of evil people.

The suffering of the world cannot be saved by the power of one person.

He returned to the ground and rushed to the front yard.

The seven Phoenix-Wing Moth Emperors had already cleared all the living people to ensure that no secrets would be exposed.

And Yin Twenty-four had opened all thirty-two giant boxes on the eight carriages, and purple electric light escaped from the boxes. Even on the ground, dense electric patterns like earthworms appeared.

Just as Li Youyi approached, electric patterns flew over.

A tingling sensation came from his skin.

He hurriedly took two steps back to keep his distance.

He saw that the boxes were filled with things like purple ice crystals, and the light inside the ice crystals was very brilliant, and countless dazzling flashes of lightning could be seen intertwined inside.

Li Youyi clearly felt that these things contained incomparably terrifying destructive energy.

Yin Twenty-four retreated even further than Li Youyi: "Thunder Law Profound Ice, how could it be this thing? What is the Sui Sect trying to do?"

"This thing feels extremely dangerous. What is it used for?" Li Youyi had only been in this world for a few months, and there were still too many unknowns.

Yin Twenty-four said: "Breaking formations, attacking cities. Thunder Law Profound Ice is collected from the eight-hundred-mile Thunder Sea and can be called the nemesis of formations. Any piece in the box releasing energy could destroy all the buildings in this hundred-acre mansion. Don't get close; the sealing runes on the boxes have been broken by me, and they have become extremely unstable, and even a slight shake could activate them."

Li Youyi hurriedly retreated a few more steps and asked, "Have those green-clad eunuchs been interrogated?"

"No need to interrogate, they must be from the Longmen."

Yin Twenty-four added: "Thunder Law Profound Ice is a supreme treasure of the Lei Xiao Sect. It seems that the top forces in the Eastern Region feel that the Southern Region is not chaotic enough and all want to add fuel to the fire, wanting us to fight internally and consume ourselves. The Sui Sect is ambitious, and it just so happens to be a perfect match."

The Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect, one is a ten-million-strong courtyard in the Eastern Region, and the other is a ten-million-strong sect in the Eastern Region.

Li Youyi finally understood the sentence Shi Chuanyu said before he died; being dragged into such a big power game is indeed extremely dangerous.

Yin Twenty-four said: "Let all those young girls and children out, then trigger the Thunder Law Profound Ice to wipe out all traces of our presence."

Li Youyi looked at an enemy-watching tower several dozen zhang high belonging to the city defense camp three miles away, and clearly saw a figure as thin as a monkey fly directly from the ground to its top, with a speed as fast as a ghost.

The figure as thin as a monkey stood on the top of the tower, looking around, searching for something.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Li Youyi's expression changed suddenly.

At the same time, the Six Desires Talisman on his chest flickered, emitting scorching heat.

"Hurry and go!" Li Youyi said.

Yin Twenty-four looked in the direction of his gaze and found a figure as thin as a stick flying down from the top of the enemy-watching tower, coming in the direction where the two of them were.

"It's Shi Liuyu! It must be the Six Desires Talisman; he can sense my approximate location through the connection with the Six Desires Talisman and will find his way here soon."

Li Youyi's expression was extremely ugly, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure, then pushed Yin Twenty-four: "You go quickly, leave this to me."

Yin Twenty-four certainly knew what kind of person Shi Liuyu was.

He was a lecherous thief notorious throughout the entire Southern Region, but his cultivation was terrifyingly high, and he was the head of the Earth Wolf King Army.

"If we go, we go together."

She pulled Li Youyi.

Li Youyi said: "Don't be stupid, I can't get away at all. Besides, if I flee back to the Coffin Sea Pavilion at this time, too many things will be exposed! I will hold him back, and you go to get reinforcements. Don't just stand there; once he arrives, you will be my weak point."

Li Youyi pushed her all the way to the door.

"Okay, wait for me."

Yin Twenty-four no longer hesitated, broke the formation, and rushed out the door.

Only then did the eight deformed martial cultivators guarding outside the door know what had happened inside the mansion. Li Youyi stepped forward with his sword, and after flashing his figure several times, he killed them all.

He sheathed his sword.

He pushed the two copper doors to a fully open state.

Li Youyi collected various magic artifacts on his body, including the Phoenix-Wing Moth Emperors and the corpses of the three Five Seas Realm martial cultivators, into the blood mud space. Afterwards, he walked unhurriedly to the backyard dungeon, chopped open the iron lock of the dungeon door, and released the hundreds of young girls and children inside.

Shi Liuyu wore a wide gray cloth robe, like a monkey wearing human clothes, and arrived at the front gate of the mansion. Seeing the eight corpses lying on the stone steps, he knew he had finally found the right place.

He did have a sense for the Six Desires Talisman, but this sense was very subtle and could only determine an approximate direction.

Once the distance was too far or the obstruction was too great, the sense would disappear.

Before he had even walked through the door, he saw young girls and children in rags running out.

Shi Liuyu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed one of the girls who looked quite plump, rubbed her hard twice, causing a burst of screaming and crying, before satisfiedly letting her go.

He walked into the courtyard and found Li Youyi sitting under the eaves, holding a long sword, cutting leg shackles for a group of young girls and children one by one.

Once one was cut, one person would quickly flee the mansion.

"The Dharma King is one of the top powerhouses of the last sixty years, why bully these miserable people?" Li Youyi didn't even look up at him.

Shi Liuyu was not in a hurry to make a move, stepping in the blood mud, looking at the corpses all over the garden: "You kid have a strong murderous nature, not leaving a single living person in the entire gang."

"Killing dozens of people to save more than a hundred, I feel it's worth it!" Li Youyi said.

"Shi, where are the people from the Nine Li Hidden Sect?"

Li Youyi said: "I don't know."

"Playing tricks on this Dharma King, you are still too young."

Shi Liuyu's eyes instantly turned cold, and the ice energy erupting from his body formed a layer of frost on Li Youyi.

Li Youyi couldn't move his whole body, his skin lost sensation, as if he were about to be frozen to death, and he hurriedly said with a trembling voice: "I really don't know. If the Nine Li Hidden Sect were so easily exposed, would the Sui Sect not have been able to find a trace of them for a thousand years? Would the clan leader level figures of the Nine Li clan not know their reality?"

Shi Liuyu's eyes were suspicious, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Where is the Nine Li Hidden Sect? What is their strength? How did you appear here?"

After Li Youyi's body regained freedom, he immediately mobilized magic power to refine the frost on his body, and said calmly: "The Nine Li Hidden Sect investigated me and knew about my grudge with the Long Lin Gang, so they arranged this trial. Fortunately, I am on good terms with the Cangli tribe, so they didn't doubt my identity."

Shi Liuyu had been observing Li Youyi's eyes and expressions, and felt that this kid's courage and character were truly remarkable.

If it were other martial cultivators, let alone the Gushing Spring Realm, even many Five Seas Realm cultivators, once stared at by his eyes, would be immediately scared to their knees, unable to speak clearly.

Shi Liuyu didn't know about Li Youyi's grudge with the Long Lin Gang; the mere Long Lin Gang couldn't catch his eye.

He said: "What does the trial mean?"

"The nine tribes of the Nine Li selected a total of twenty-six genius youths this year to be sent to the Nine Li Hidden Sect, and only five are qualified to survive and become disciples of the Hidden Sect. The trial is the way of screening and elimination." Li Youyi said.

"It's so cruel."

Shi Liuyu secretly noted this information, perhaps he could use it to calculate the strength of the Hidden Sect.

Blood gushed from Li Youyi's mouth, and he coughed dryly several times: "Of course it's cruel, I almost died in this trial. The Long Lin Gang has many experts, and there is another group of eunuchs... Dharma King, what is that thing, it seems a bit dangerous..."

He pointed to the eight carriages.

Shi Liuyu had already gone over to check, and scolded angrily: "You destroyed the runes on the boxes?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Li Youyi pretended to be ignorant.

Shi Liuyu gritted his teeth: "Don't worry about it! Don't ask about this thing, continue to answer this Dharma King's questions."

Shi Liuyu had long heard that the Lei Xiao Sect would provide several batches of Thunder Law Profound Ice to the Sui Sect to help them break the formations of the Nine Li Dao Academy, the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and the mansions of major clans.

But he didn't expect the Sui Sect to be so unreliable, that a Gushing Spring Realm cultivator almost destroyed the Thunder Law Profound Ice.

Don't they send Five Seas Realm cultivators to guard it?

Li Youyi said: "To go to the Nine Li Hidden Sect, I would wear a black cloth bag on my head, blocking my five senses. Leaving the Hidden Sect, it was the same, and by the time I took off the bag, I was already outside the main altar of the Long Lin Gang."

"This is within my expectations!"

Shi Liuyu nodded and asked: "How long is it approximately from the Nine Li Hidden Sect to this place?"

"Hmm, it's hard to say, the perception in the black cloth bag will be biased, I estimate it should be five to seven days... perhaps, probably!" Li Youyi said.

Shi Liuyu didn't fully believe Li Youyi, and while collecting information, he was also judging the truth of the information, and continued to ask: "Where exactly is the Nine Li Hidden Sect?"

"I don't know."

Seeing Shi Liuyu's eyes were stern, and the center of his eyebrows lit up, Li Youyi hurriedly said: "In my skull, a death spirit fire has been planted, you must not use mental power. Otherwise, I will die here on the spot, and you will get no information. This is a lose-lose situation!"

"Haha, don't be afraid, I'm scaring you."

Shi Liuyu revealed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and immediately sneered again: "You must not lie to me! If what you say is half a word different from what Li Qing said, I will throw you into the wolf den, making you unable to live or die."

Li Youyi pretended to be scared, trying hard to recall and think, and suddenly thought of something: "The Nine Li Hidden Sect may be in the Nether Realm of the Dead, on the other side of the Long Mountain range, because it is always dark there, the yin energy is extremely heavy, and passing spirits often appear."

Shi Liuyu pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "A thousand years ago, the Nine Li clan occupied the land of the Nine Provinces, and eight of them were swallowed by the Nether Realm of the Dead. If the Nine Li Hidden Sect really exists and can hide from the Sui Sect's eyes and ears, it really might be located somewhere in those eight provinces... Haha, so that's it, so that's it... What other information is there, tell me quickly."

Suddenly.

"Swish!"

An extremely fast afterimage rushed in from outside the door and stood in the center of the courtyard.

After the figure stabilized, it gradually became clear.

It was a pure immortal body martial cultivator in his twenties, wearing the martial robe of a true disciple of the Sui Sect, his magic energy bright and thick, clearly a Five Seas Realm expert.

Wang Daozhen was one of the top three experts of the young generation of the Wang family of the Sui Sect. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, and then scanning Shi Liuyu and Li Youyi sharply, he said coldly: "Junior sister, something has happened!"

Li Youyi had already heard the sound of carriages outside the door, the sound of strange beast hooves, and a large number of footsteps, knowing that Yang Qingxi had rushed back. So, he whispered in Shi Liuyu's ear: "Dharma King, it has been less than two months, don't forget the reward you mentioned."

"Swish! Swish..."

One afterimage after another erupted with extreme speed, entering the mansion like teleportation.

Among them, there were famous young generation geniuses, as well as elder-level figures of the older generation, all with powerful auras, holding magic artifacts, surrounding the two.

"Boom!"

A silver-horned deer strange beast as huge as an elephant, pulling a magnificent carriage the size of a house, drove directly into the mansion gate.
