Chapter 74: Having Eyes but No Pupils

"What?"

Li Xueyun was slightly stunned, and a look of vigilance could not help but appear on her face.

This is bad, this guy wouldn't really be plotting something against me, would he? "Little friend, no need to worry. I have no ill intentions. It is just that the relics of your parents are of truly extraordinary value, and your cultivation is too low. If I give you too many Spirit Stones here, are you not afraid that others will become jealous?"

"This..."

A look of struggle could not help but appear on Li Xueyun's face. To be fair, Su Changqing's explanation was reasonable, yet the cultivation world did not speak of benevolence or morality. She and the other party were merely strangers who had met by chance; how could his words be trusted?

What if the other party was a hypocrite with a dignified appearance? What should she do then? At that time, she would have no power to resist at all. There were many people here; even if human sentiment was cold, the other party would still have some scruples.

Thoughts swirled in Li Xueyun's mind: should she follow this person or not? Su Changqing did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction with the young girl's actions; in his heart, there was even a hint of joy.

For a weak female cultivator to survive alone in the cultivation world, it could be said that her life might be in danger at any moment. It was only natural to be cautious in her dealings.

After the young girl hesitated for a while, she gritted her teeth and a look of determination appeared on her face.

"Senior, this junior will follow you."

Sometimes, if you want to gain something, you must pay a price. Everything, to some extent, carries risks.

The senior before her gave her a good impression; at a glance, he did not look like a bad person. Of course, the most important point was that Li Xueyun was truly poor to the extreme right now; she did not even have a single low-grade Spirit Stone on her entire body.

She would naturally not miss the opportunity before her. Even if there were risks, she could only take the gamble now.

A look of appreciation appeared on Su Changqing's face; this person was cautious in her dealings and had her own opinions.

If she truly did not want to follow him, he would still obtain the purple rice. At that time, he would leave her enough Spirit Stones, but whether the other party would bring a fatal disaster upon herself because of this would be none of his concern.

"Senior, please wait a moment."

As Li Xueyun spoke, she put the few Spirit Talismans and the Demon Bone into her Storage Bag.

Come to think of it, the cultivation world is truly cruel. For an existence like Su Changqing, spending tens of millions of Spirit Stones would not cause the slightest heartache, while Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, especially rogue cultivators, have to work hard and even risk their lives for one or two Spirit Stones.

Of course, there was nothing worth sympathizing with; this was the iron rule of the cultivation world, and everyone actually walked this path.

If one wants to go far, only by putting in enough effort can one do so. Only then can one pursue the realm of immortality.

Su Changqing pondered for a moment, and a wave of emotion could not help but arise in his heart.

"Eh? This young lady is not bad."

Just at this moment, a frivolous voice rang out.

Su Changqing's expression shifted slightly.

"I didn't expect that on this tiny Luanxing Island, there would actually be people who don't know how to fear death! Hmph!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Su Changqing's mouth.

He did not expect that at this time, there would be blind things daring to jump around in front of him.

Before long, Li Xueyun was actually surrounded by a few playboy Disciples.

Natural beauty is indeed mesmerizing; it is truly so.

Although the woman before them did not have a peerless appearance, she could still be considered a first-class beauty.

It just so happened that the beauty had no protector by her side, so the result was predictable; the little girl had run into a few fools who did not know how to fear death.

A Golden Core cultivator as great as himself had actually not been seen by the other party.

For such people, it is hard not to die.

Since they are seeking death, he might as well extract their souls and refine their spirits directly.

Just at this moment, Li Xueyun's brows furrowed slightly as she stood before several cultivators filled with lewd and evil expressions. "May I ask for the fairy's name? My master is the Seven Desires Demon Lord. I feel like old friends with the fairy at first sight. Could the fairy do me the honor of going for a small drink with us?" The one speaking was a cultivator who looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight, though he appeared to be around twenty. His cultivation was not weak; he was actually a Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivator.

The other three looked much worse; they were likely the servant type, drooling all over the ground as they looked at Li Xueyun, just like a pack of vicious dogs.

"Get lost!"

A look of disgust appeared on Li Xueyun's face; naturally, she could not be bothered to say a word to these playboys.

"You..."

Li Tianyi could not help but be furious. The Seven Desires Demon Lord was a Golden Core late-stage cultivator.

In the cultivation world, although he could not be counted as a top-tier existence, he was still a master of one side.

As the young master of an island, he had always been accustomed to the fawning of cultivators when he went out. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, since she refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, truly did not know how to fear death. Could it be that she wanted to drink the forfeit instead of the toast? Thinking of this, Li Tianyi's expression immediately turned gloomy, and he was about to lose his temper.

Just at this moment, a voice of disdain rang out.

"What Seven Desires Demon Lord? I see him as nothing more than someone with an empty reputation. Otherwise, how could the Disciples he trained be so ignorant of death, blind, and not know that some people are simply not ones you can provoke..."

"Brat, what are you? How dare you be so arrogant? Go to hell!"

In an instant, he roared, and as he raised his hands, a sheet of black flowing light suddenly emerged from the surface of his body.

Su Changqing acted as if he had not seen his attack; a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could not possibly pose any threat to him.

"Seeking death!!" Li Tianyi stretched out his hand, and as he raised it, a black Flying Sword appeared. After a burst of sword ringing, it slashed toward Su Changqing.

"Stop! Luanxing Island is under the jurisdiction of my Hehuan Sect. By acting here, are you trying to go against our sect?"

Just at this moment, a sharp, feminine cry rang out.

Following the fall of this voice, several streaks of light quickly arrived nearby.

After the light faded, the faces of several young women were revealed: one Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator and five Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators.

The leading woman looked to be only in her early twenties, with delicate features and a beautiful appearance.

"A fairy of the Hehuan Sect..."

The cultivators on the side could not help but exclaim.

"Whether they are Disciples of the Hehuan Sect is not certain. Have you not heard? Those few Disciples are the followers of the Seven Desires Old Demon."

"Hmph, so what? This is the Hehuan Sect."

"That is true..."

"Senior..."

Li Xueyun's face became anxious and uneasy. Originally, she only wanted to do some business, but she never expected to be inexplicably dragged into such trouble.

As a minor cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be a lie to say he was not afraid in his heart.

Putting Su Zhangqing aside for the moment, upon seeing the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, those few cultivators all revealed expressions of fear.

Just as others had said, the prestige of the Seven Desires Demon Lord worked well in other places, but against the Hehuan Sect, it was of absolutely no use at all.

The Hehuan Sect was not someone they could afford to offend; if they truly angered the other party, even if they were all killed, their own master would absolutely not avenge them, and they still had that much self-awareness.

"Are you the few people causing trouble here?"

Just at this moment, a cold and clear voice rang out.
