Chapter 93: The Shock of a Letter

"Okay!"

"Brother Xie Tianshu, come with us!"

Shi Shi Shishi grabbed Li Li Youyi, his figure flashing rapidly.

Li Li Youyi only felt the wind whistling in his ears, his figure sometimes high and sometimes low, and after only a few breaths, he crossed over three li of streets with Shi Shi Jiuzhai and arrived at a busy wharf by the Suihe.

The speed and cultivation displayed by Shi Shi Shishi really did not match his age.

The three boarded a fast boat, using a strange beast like a water python to pull the boat, sailing downstream at full speed.

Inside the cabin, Shi Shi Shishi used a low-grade Dharma treasure rope to tie Li Li Youyi up, laughing: "Brother Xie Tianshu, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, possessing the combat power of a hundred-vein all-silver pure immortal body with a mortal body; the Heavenly King will definitely like you very much. As long as you honestly confess all the secrets on you, I can guarantee that the position of the eleventh will be yours."

Li Li Youyi sat against the cabin wall, coldly saying: "Your Earth Wolf King Army does not keep your word; you clearly promised a reward, but you didn't fulfill it."

Shi Shi Shishi scratched his head, distressed: "No way! With Yao Qian there, who can move Yang Yang Qingxi? I want to see the reward you mentioned. Another day; when you break through to the Five Seas, let's think of a way together."

"Where are we going now?" Li Li Youyi asked.

Shi Shi Shishi said: "Of course, back to Shuzhou; the secrets on you, honestly speaking, are enough to shock the Heavenly King. Who doesn't want to transform into a pure immortal body? I want to too!"

Li Li Youyi said: "What about the Nine Li Hidden Sect?"

"Will you honestly help us investigate information? There are not many true words in your mouth... well, anyway, with Li Qing there, even if you are missing, it won't be much different," Shi Shi Shishi said.

Li Li Youyi said: "Li Qing has already been killed by me!"

"..."

Shi Shi Shishi was stunned.

Shi Shi Jiuzhai stood proudly at the stern of the boat, his bright eyes watching the Nine Licheng gradually moving away.

The sunset fell, and the sky quickly became dark. Only the light gauze formation screen connecting the heavens and the earth outside Nine Licheng remained brilliant, like auroras on the horizon, dyeing the Suihe colorful.

Shi Shi Shishi walked out of the cabin: "Li Qing was killed! It should be true; he has this strength."

Shi Shi Jiuzhai carried his hands behind his back, and after a long silence, said: "If you send him back, the people of the Nine Li Hidden Sect will not trust him anymore and will kill him directly. Going to the Earth Wolf King Army, on the contrary, is a way to live."

Shi Shi Shishi knew that these words were for Li Li Youyi in the cabin to hear, and was a bit worried: "?"

"How is that possible? The Sui Sect still needs to borrow the power of the Earth Wolf King Army to help them attack the Nine Li tribe. The Six Colors are still very strong; perhaps they can't beat Yao Qian, but holding them off and fleeing should not be a big problem," Shi Shi Jiuzhai laughed.

Inside the cabin, Li Li Youyi secretly calculated the success and failure of this day. The biggest problem was still the Six Desires Talisman, and at the same time, he realized his lack of understanding of the abilities of the top experts in this world.

Existences like Shi Shi Liuyu and Yao Qian had already transcended the category of humans.

Measuring them in a human way would definitely lead to mistakes.

Suddenly, Shi Shi Jiuzhai's shocked roar sounded outside: "Careful, enemy attack!"

The fast boat shook violently, followed by the sounds of palm power clashing, Dharma Qi colliding, and waves rolling.

"Boom! Boom..."

Four pebbles pierced through the cabin wall, hitting the four spring acupoints on Li Li Youyi's body that were sealed, and his magic power immediately resumed operation. At the same time, the Dharma treasure rope that originally bound his body was slashed by the Huang Long Sword that flew over.

The Huang Long Sword had previously been taken away by Shi Shi Shishi.

Clearly, an expert had snatched the Huang Long Sword from his hand and thrown it precisely to this place.

Li Li Youyi was overjoyed, realizing that Yin Twenty-Four had finally moved the reinforcements of the Hidden Sect, took off the circles of rope, grabbed the Huang Long Sword, and rushed out of the cabin.

Dharma Qi surged in the darkness.

Figures were clashing fiercely, but it was unclear who was who.

Li Li Youyi knew his own weight, so he decisively mobilized Dharma Qi to fill his legs, stepped on the waves, and fled, and after a moment, he escaped into the dense forest on the shore.

Behind him came Shi Shi Jiuzhai's anxious roar: "That kid escaped!"

Li Li Youyi fled for half an hour, the sound of fighting behind him had long been inaudible, and the frantic running affected the severe injuries in his body, a mouthful of blood spat out, only feeling darkness before his eyes, the world spinning.

After he recovered slightly, he was about to continue fleeing.

But he saw.

Under a tree more than ten zhang away, two black figures, one tall and one short, appeared.

That slightly shorter and slender black shadow walked quickly to his side and fed a cold pill into his mouth. From her lips came a soft whisper that was not as cold as usual: "Heal your injuries first!"

The pill entered his belly and melted instantly.

The severe injuries of his internal organs were immediately treated and were no longer so painful.

That tall and majestic black shadow wearing a metal mask walked over step by step, his dark red cloak fluttering in the wind. He said in a low voice: "Did you tell Shi all the secrets of the Hidden Sect?"

His aura was very oppressive, and every word was impacting Li Li Youyi's soul.

Li Li Youyi looked at him briefly, then laughed lowly without fear: "How unfathomable is the cultivation of the Hidden Lord; how could you not know whether I leaked secrets to Shi Shi Liuyu?"

"How could I know?" the Hidden Lord said.

Li Li Youyi said: "The so-called trial was never about destroying the Lin Bang, but testing what choice I would make when facing Shi Shi Liuyu, and whether I would betray the Nine Li Hidden Sect."

Li Li Youyi only figured this out just now in the cabin.

He had no understanding of the abilities of the top experts in this world, but how could the Hidden Lord not?

How could the Hidden Lord not know that Shi Shi Liuyu could sense his approximate location through the Six Desires Talisman?

Thinking of this, the purpose of deliberately arranging for him to trial in Nine Licheng became clear.

Li Li Youyi did not know if the Hidden Lord was near the Lin Bang at that time, or if he was sensing through the death spirit fire in the center of his eyebrows. In short, the Hidden Lord must have known all the conversations between him and Shi Shi Liuyu.

The Hidden Lord looked at him in surprise.

Falling into a perilous situation, fleeing in a panic, and still being able to have such clear thinking ability, he was indeed a piece of material for a Divine Hidden Person.

Yin Twenty-Four said: "To become a Hidden Person, everyone must undergo a death trial. The so-called death trial refers to whether you can keep secrets when facing the threat of death. This point is extremely important; if you can't do it, it will endanger the entire Hidden Sect."

"So you knew the true content of the trial long ago?" Li Li Youyi said.

Yin Twenty-Four said: "I only knew that the true trial was not destroying the Lin Bang."

Li Li Youyi stared at the Hidden Lord again: "Did I pass the trial?"

"Naturally!"

The Hidden Lord said: "No matter what method you used, as long as you didn't leak secrets, you passed. Let's go, return to the Hidden Sect first."

Li Li Youyi stood in place: "Are you not interested in the secrets on me?"

"As long as all your actions pass the screening of the Hidden Sect, your secrets will always be your own secrets. When you truly find a sense of belonging in the Hidden Sect, you won't need me to ask, you will naturally tell me," the Hidden Lord said.

Li Li Youyi said: "Since I am already a member of the Hidden Sect, I have two things that must be done now; can the Hidden Sect help me?"

"You can talk about it first," the Hidden Lord said.

Li Li Youyi said: "The first thing is the people I saved from the Lin Bang; I want to save them to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and give them a proper settlement. Otherwise, my heart will never be at peace."

"You don't need to mention this; Yin Twenty-Four has already arranged it, and there are people from the Nine Li tribe to take over them," the Hidden Lord said.

Li Li Youyi looked at Yin Twenty-Four in surprise.

Yin Twenty-Four's chin lifted slightly, and her eyes did not dodge at all like when she was questioned by Li Li Youyi before.

Li Li Youyi thought for a while and said: "I have several companions; they are practicing at the Nine Li Dao Academy and the Cang Li Clan School and have already been targeted by the Sui Sect. Can I take them to the Hidden Sect?"

"This is impossible!" the Hidden Lord said.

Li Li Youyi said: "They have high talent."

"People with high talent, even if it is a pure immortal body that is one in ten thousand, can be picked out many in the world. But if there are too many people, it is possible for a Li Qing to sneak in, two Li Qings... The Hidden Sect only puts all its resources on one person every year, because what we want to cultivate is Cang Li, is Yao Qian, is a top powerhouse who suppresses a generation alone, not a group of Five Seas Realm experts."

The Hidden Lord paused and added: "Currently, they are safe at the Nine Li Dao Academy and the Cang Li Clan Mansion."

"After the ambush at Burial Immortal Town and the duel between Cang Li and the Longmen successor on the Suihe, the Nine Li tribe and the Sui Sect are already playing open cards, but it has not reached the point of tearing their faces."

Li Li Youyi could not understand: "Since they are already open cards, why doesn't the Nine Li tribe strike first?"

The Hidden Lord said: "You can ask this question, which shows that you have a long way to go to become a Divine Hidden Person."

Yin Twenty-Four said: "The Sui Sect and the Nine Li tribes have many important figures who are related by marriage; there is you in me, and me in you. The news that the Nine Li tribe gathered troops this morning was secretly passed out; it won't take until noon for the high-level Sui Sect to know all the movements and arrangements of the Nine Li tribe, and they might even act a step ahead of the Nine Li tribe."

"Conversely, it is the same. That is why the Sui Sect would unite with external forces."

Li Li Youyi understood; this world was never black and white, not friend or enemy.

But there are friends in enemies, and enemies in friends.

Li Li Youyi asked curiously: "What role does the Hidden Sect want to play in this war that is bound to break out?"

"Since the rotten meat has grown in the body, take this opportunity to scrape the bone and heal the wound; if you don't experience the pain, how can you welcome a new life? Let them kill; kill until there is a clear enemy and friend."

The Hidden Lord thought for a while and said: "In the entire Lizhou, only the Nine Li Divine Temple is relatively safe; when the situation is unstable, I will arrange for someone to send your companions there."

This was the final compromise he made!

"Thank you, Hidden Lord," Li Li Youyi said.

The Hidden Lord said: "Two things, you are doing them for others. I originally thought one would be for the Six Desires Talisman."

"Is the Hidden Lord an opponent of Shi Shi Liuyu?" Li Li Youyi hurriedly asked.

"You shouldn't ask such a stupid question."

The Hidden Lord said: "Among the ten Dharma Kings of the Earth Wolf King Army, in terms of wisdom, only the Great Master is a powerful figure, and Shi the Eighth is good at calculation. Shi Shi Liuyu... even you can survive in his hands; keeping him, there may be great use in the future."

Li Li Youyi secretly let go of his heart, and then took out a letter wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it over.

"What is this?"

The Hidden Lord took the letter and asked.

"All the secrets on me are in this letter."

Li Li Youyi always felt that sending Coffin Master's letter up earlier would be more stable. Who knew if the Hidden Lord really didn't care about the secrets on him?

Beside him, Yin Twenty-Four's eyes lit up.

She knew that Li Li Youyi hid many treasures on him; this guy definitely had a great background, but what exactly was this secret?

The Hidden Lord opened the letter and immediately sensed that it was extraordinary, his eyes changing from casual to grave.

The aura emitted from the letter was extremely unusual.

The more he read the content, the more his scalp exploded, his whole person was shocked numb, his pupils contracted violently, and the hand holding the letter was trembling.

In Yin Twenty-Four's eyes, the Hidden Lord had always been a god-like existence; she believed that even if the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, it would not make him so discomposed.

What kind of letter was this?

What kind of terrifying background did this guy Li Li Youyi have?

After reading the content of the letter, the Hidden Lord stared fixedly at Li Li Youyi, and after a long while, he finally dared not confirm its authenticity; this was too shocking, and could even shake the world.

"Go, return to the Hidden Sect, see the Hidden Ancestor!"

The Hidden Lord wrapped Li Li Youyi and Yin Twenty-Four with Dharma Qi and used the fastest speed to rush to Nine Licheng.

As for the Six Desires Talisman on Li Li Youyi, with him there, how could Shi Shi Liuyu sense it? When they reached the underground, the sense would naturally be cut off.

Yin Twenty-Four was extremely curious; why did it shock the Hidden Ancestor?

The Hidden Ancestor had always been just a legend; even the Hidden People did not know if it really existed and if it was still alive. Because in legend, the Hidden Ancestor had lived for over a thousand years.

"I want to try relying on my own strength," Li Li Youyi said.

The Hidden Lord did not know what to say, because this kid truly possessed such strength; opening the Eight Springs was comparable to a Hundred Meridians All-Silver Pure Immortal Body, completely exceeding cognition and understanding.

But thinking that he was the successor of the Chief, everything became reasonable.

All the secrets on him, including the mysterious origins of him and his companions, seemed to be explainable!

Now, only the Hidden Ancestor's personal confirmation of the letter's authenticity remained.

After all, only the Hidden Ancestor had truly seen the Chief.
