Chapter 395: Exchange for Semi-Saint Cultivation!
Ximen Jian held the birth date and horoscope of Wu Shuo, the third prince of Yue State, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He still couldn't imagine that the friend who had just been playing and galloping with him only had one day to live.
He looked at the old man beside him and asked, "Grandfather, can you figure out why he died?"
The old man shook his head. Fortune telling was not something the Ximen family was good at, let alone accurately calculating the cause of his death.
Thinking that Wu Shuo had indeed helped him a lot during this period, Ximen Jian didn't want to lose this friend, so he asked again: "Is there any way to change his fate?"
The old man said calmly: "Everyone has his own destiny. What does the fate of others have to do with you? Get ready. We will return to Wei State immediately."
Although I didn't figure out anything, the uneasy feeling still lingered.
Regardless of whether he was overthinking it or not, he had no intention of staying in Yue State any longer.
This is the intuition of the half-saint of the Yin-Yang School.
Ximen Jian was stunned for a moment: "We are going back?"
The old man said, "You have a quarter of an hour to pack up, and then you will set off in a quarter of an hour."
There was not enough time in a quarter of an hour to pack up, and Ximen Jian naturally had no time to inform Wu Shuo. He hurried back to his room, packed up his things, and got on a carriage in front of the mansion.
Dozens of figures are already waiting here.
The fluctuations of martial arts true energy could be faintly emanated from these dozens of people. None of them was below the fourth level, and the two leading ones even had the aura of a grandmaster.
These people do not belong to the Yue court, but are the Ximen family's personal guards.
Although the abilities of the Yin-Yang School were feared by all other schools, they themselves lacked absolute power and had difficulty in moving. Even if they were half-saints, they could not fly into the air like a warrior at the fourth level.
Under the escort of these people, the two carriages quickly drove out of the city gate and headed west along the official road.
Ximen Jian sat alone in the carriage, full of doubts about his sudden return to Wei, but his grandfather didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He sighed in his heart and said, "Wu Shuo, Wu Shuo, it's not that I won't help you, you just wish yourself good luck..."
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the speeding carriage suddenly stopped. Ximen Jian lost his balance and knelt down in the carriage. He lifted the curtain, frowned and asked, "What's going on..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression froze on his face.
One after another, figures fell from the sky and landed in front of his carriage.
At this moment, the first thought that came to his mind was, who were those blind thieves who dared to rob Ximen’s carriage?
In another carriage, a skinny hand lifted the curtain and looked at the figures in front, with a changed expression.
Grandmasters, so many martial arts masters!
His eyes finally locked onto an old man in the front. His face instantly darkened and he uttered a few words from his throat.
"Dongfang Xuan!"
Dongfang Xuan, who was always kind, looked at the old man opposite him with a rare look of hatred on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Old thief Ximen, how are you?"
Li Nuo looked at the old man in the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yin-Yang School of the Sixth Realm is indeed not simple. If they were a step slower, this time they would probably be drawing water with a bamboo basket.
The Yue court was supported by the Wei State. As the capital, Bozhou was less than a hundred miles away from the border of Wei State. Once they fled to Wei State, they would have no way to pursue them. Otherwise, it would be an invasion, and Wei State would have a legitimate reason to fight back indefinitely.
Ximen Du slowly got off the carriage, looked at Dongfang Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Are you here to avenge your son?"
Dongfang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone has his own destiny. He has his destiny, and you have yours. Ximen clan uses human lives to cultivate, which is against the will of heaven and earth. If I don't look for you, someone else will..."
Ximen Du asked back: "What do you mean by harming nature? People are bound to die. How do you know that this is not their fate?"
Dongfang Xuan smiled coldly and said, "You believe in fate so much, can you calculate your fate today?"
Ximen Du looked at the dozens of masters in front of him. With just his guards, he was no match for them. The two masters hired by the Ximen family looked extremely pale and were obviously sweating profusely.
He looked at the masters opposite him and said in a deep voice: "I am a half-saint of the Yin-Yang School. If anyone attacks me today, even if I die, I will take a few people with me..."
"What, Half Saint of Yin-Yang Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the masters took two steps back in tacit understanding.
For a warrior at the fifth level, the words "half-saint" of Yin-Yang School sound a bit creepy.
Even if it was a half-saint of the Yin-Yang School, it would be impossible to kill everyone present.
But what if you are unlucky?
Especially the older masters, they were even more panicked and retreated quietly behind the crowd.
This is the intimidation of the Yin-Yang School.
Li Nuo saw the concerns of these masters. The reason why others were willing to help him was because there were so many masters that they would not be afraid even when facing a half-saint of martial arts and would not lose their own interests.
However, the attack of the Half-Saint of Yin-Yang School is invisible and intangible, and there is no way to guard against it. If the old man in front of him were to fight to the death and take a few others with him, at least a few of these masters would die on the spot, and it would be too late for Li Nuo and Senior Dongfang to save them.
Others have come all the way to help him, which is already a great honor for him. Li Nuo cannot let them put themselves in danger.
Therefore, Li Nuo looked at everyone, clasped his fists and said, "Seniors, please step back a thousand feet. Leave this to Senior Dongfang and me."
All the masters felt a little embarrassed when they heard this. An old woman behind Li Nuo looked a little worried and said, "Junior brother, you..."
Li Nuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Dongfang is also a Yin-Yang master of the sixth level. He can protect me."
The masters then clasped their fists to Li Nuo and flew away one after another.
Although they felt a little ashamed, it was their own lives at stake and they couldn't just throw their lives away for the sake of favors.
Soon, within a thousand feet, only Li Nuo and Dongfang Xuan were left on their side.
Ximen Du looked at Li Nuo, sneered, and said, "Boy, you think too highly of Dongfang Xuan. If I want your life, Dongfang Xuan can't protect you."
Li Nuo was of course aware of this. Although the Yin-Yang family's means of attack were simple, they had an absolute first-mover advantage and were unstoppable. That was why they were feared by everyone.
He looked at the old man opposite him, smiled slightly, and said: "I am very interested in the methods of the Yin-Yang family. Senior, why don't you show me your skills and let me see the strength of the Yin-Yang family's half-saint..."
Ximen Du said coldly: "Young man, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
He was relieved at this moment.
The departure of these masters shows that they are still afraid of death.
The Yin-Yang School is not afraid of the Grandmaster, but is afraid of the Grandmaster who is fearless and unafraid of death.
If more than ten of them were not afraid of death, his life would be in danger today.
He looked at the young man in front of him with a cold gaze.
Even those dozens of masters had retreated thousands of feet away, but this young boy dared to speak nonsense in front of him.
In this case, I will first deprive him of ten years of his life to let him know the price of being insolent in front of the Half-Saint of the Yin-Yang Family.
He didn't intend to kill him.
This person has a faint aura of the Yin-Yang School, and no one knows what his relationship with Dongfang Xuan is. If he kills him, it might anger Dongfang Xuan and he might die together with him... This is not the ending he wants.
Considering the aura emanating from this ignorant young man, depriving him of ten years of life would hardly cause any loss to himself.
As soon as he thought about it, he put it into action.
The next moment, Ximen Du suddenly felt weak and had to hold on to the carriage to keep himself steady.
Ximen Jian stared at him with wide eyes, a look of horror on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, you..."
At that moment just now, he saw that his grandfather had instantly aged a lot.
Ximen Du looked down at his hands, a look of shock on his face, and he cried out, "How is this possible!"
Just now, he lost nearly ten years of his life!
Depriving the other person of ten years of life means paying the price of ten years of your own life!
How is this possible? Only a semi-saint can make him pay the same price!
Is he a half-saint?
He looked at the young man opposite him, and could not see any signs of the passage of time on him.
It was as if the ten years he had lost had no effect on him at all!
This completely overturned Ximen Du's cognition and caused his mind to go blank for a moment.
Li Nuo took a look at the law code. He originally had a lifespan of more than 1,300 years. After deducting ten years, he still had more than 1,300 years left. It was only ten years of lifespan, and he could earn it back by inspecting a county.
Ximen Du has regained consciousness, his face is extremely pale.
The most powerful and only means of the Yin-Yang School is to deprive others of their lives.
In this case, he is just an ordinary old man, and even an ordinary person can kill him...
Fear welled up from the bottom of his heart. Ximen Du pointed at Li Nuo and said to the guards, "Kill, kill him!"
Dozens of Ximen family guards, including the two masters, did not take any action. Instead, they took a step back tacitly.
The old man opposite is a half-saint of the Yin-Yang School like him. Asking them to kill the young man around him, isn’t that asking for their own lives?
Li Nuo took a step forward. Ximen Du held the carriage and said sternly, "Boy, if you dare to harm me, I will perish together with Dongfang Xuan!"
He couldn't do anything to this evil boy, but did he not care about Dongfang Xuan's life?
He could feel that Dongfang Xuan’s life was running out.
Although he didn't know what happened that caused him to lose a lot of lifespan over the years, his remaining lifespan was enough to die with him.
Li Nuo was speechless for a moment. No wonder the strong men from various families were unwilling to provoke the Yin-Yang family. They were willing to die together with others at any time. Any normal person who didn't want to die would have to stay away.
At this time, Dongfang Xuan smiled and said, "Boy, don't worry about me. I have lived enough. I can take the old thief Ximen with me before I die. It can be regarded as a tribute to the ancestors of the Dongfang family. From now on, you just help me take good care of Qing'er..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hair, which was originally just gray, began to turn white rapidly.
His body began to become unstable, and he was only able to stand with the help of Li Nuo.
Ximen Du, who was standing opposite him, had more and more wrinkles on his face. He couldn't even stand steadily while holding onto the carriage. He looked incredulous and pointed a finger at Dongfang Xuan, saying angrily, "Madman, you madman!"
His words about dying together were just a threat, and his ultimate goal was just to leave.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Xuan actually wanted to drag him to death with him!
But the next moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at the sky behind him.
Li Nuo also raised his head and looked towards the direction of Wei State.
I saw a streak of light passing through the sky, and in just a moment, two figures landed next to Ximen Du.
One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in black.
The other person was an old man in a gray robe.
Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, because the appearance of the gray-robed old man was exactly the same as Ximen Du!
Dongfang Xuan's face was solemn, and he slowly uttered a few words: "Ximen Gu..."
The two semi-saints of the Yin-Yang School of the Ximen family are twins. When he was young, he dealt with them a lot.
What made his heart sink even more was that the man in black beside Ximen Gu exuded the aura of a semi-saint of martial arts.
Li Nuo also noticed the man in black.
The feeling that the other party gave him was no weaker than that of his master.
A small country like Yue actually has four semi-saints...
Further away, the faces of the martial arts masters of Zhao State and Daxia became more and more solemn. Even though they were thousands of feet apart, they could still feel the aura rising into the sky. No one had expected that the task that was thought to be a very easy one would actually involve both the Yin-Yang School and a Half-Saint of Martial Arts!
Many people moved their feet, but in the end they dared not to get close.
Ximen Gu supported Ximen Du and glanced at Dongfang Xuan who was supported by Li Nuo across from him. He knew what had happened without asking.
This morning, he felt a little uneasy. He even told fortunes several times, but didn't get anything unusual. However, brothers are connected by heart, and he had a feeling that his brother in Yue might be in trouble.
Coincidentally, an old friend was at Simon's house, so he invited him to come along.
He didn't say much, holding Ximen Du's hand, his face gradually became older, but some wrinkles on Ximen Du's face began to slowly disappear.
When Dongfang Xuan saw this, his heart sank completely.
The Ximen family, which has two half-saints, cannot be dealt with by itself.
He is already exhausted and can't help Li Nuo in any way...
His life span is extremely long, and the two brothers Ximen Gu and Ximen Du cannot threaten him, but on the other side, there is a half-saint of martial arts...
Beside Ximen Gu, the middle-aged man in black looked at the young man opposite him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Last time, I was requested by the court to hunt down this man, but I was stopped by a mysterious man halfway.
The mysterious man wanted to contact His Majesty through him to discuss refining the longevity pill with the blood of the rich and powerful. Although the reason was sufficient, it also indirectly undermined his mission...
Unexpectedly, I met the target of the mission again in Yue State today.
He glanced into the distance. The sixty-odd martial arts masters did surprise him, but they posed no threat to him and could be ignored.
Facing the three semi-saints of Wei State, there was no panic on Li Nuo's face.
Although his life was long, it was accumulated through one case at a time and one head at a time. Li Nuo still wanted to save some money if possible.
However, when Senior Dongfang chose to sacrifice himself, he could no longer save money.
Li Nuo supported Dongfang Xuan and asked, "Is a hundred years enough?"
Dongfang Xuan's hearing had weakened, and he couldn't hear what he was saying. He asked in confusion, "What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body shook slightly, and he felt that the lost strength in his body was recovering quickly.
In a flash, he was restored to the state before he sacrificed his life and died together with Ximen Du.
But it’s not over yet.
His originally completely white hair began to turn black rapidly, and in just two breaths, it turned completely black.
At the same time, the wrinkles on his face were also disappearing rapidly, and soon there was not a single wrinkle left. He went from old to middle-aged, and finally to young adulthood...
Seeing this scene, the three semi-saints on the opposite side stood there in shock.
The brothers Ximen Gu and Ximen Du were even more incredulous.
Just now, they felt the aura of a semi-saint of the Yin-Yang School from this young man.
Although it was only for a short time, he was indeed a half-saint of the Yin-Yang School!
And Dongfang Xuan's changes shocked them even more.
In order to turn Dongfang Xuan, whose life span has run out, back into a young man, someone must have given him at least a hundred years of life!
Does this young man have an infinite lifespan?
At this moment, the power of the sixth level of Yin-Yang School in Li Nuo's body has completely disappeared.
Also gone was his life span of nearly 130 years.
His previous guess was correct. It would take ten thousand days to reach the sixth level of strength.
Add to that the 100 years given to Senior Dongfang, and in a few breaths, his life span would be reduced to only more than 1,100 years...
The price of ten thousand days would only allow him to use the Yin-Yang School's semi-saint method once.
Li Nuo did not hesitate and started the exchange again.
Ximen Du, who had just inherited his brother's longevity, was visibly aging again.
Ximen Gu, who had already aged a lot, began to age further.
Soon, the two brothers turned into dying old men, unable to even straighten their backs.
When the man in black saw this scene, even though he was a half-saint in martial arts, he felt his scalp tingling, his face changed drastically, and he spoke in shock.
"Your Excellency, let's talk!"
"There must be a misunderstanding!"
"Can you put away your magical powers first?"
"Don't be impulsive, any conditions can be negotiated!"
…
Li Nuo looked at the martial arts master and gave up the idea of continuing to waste his life.
He only deprived the brothers Ximen Gu and Ximen Du of ten years of life each, but the price was that their lifespans were reduced by nearly eighty years. Every time they exchanged for the sixth level of cultivation, no matter how they used it, their basic lifespan would be reduced by ten thousand days.
In just a short while, he lost more than two hundred years of his life.
The lifespan of a warrior is much longer than that of a Yin-Yang master. If the same method is used on him, it will probably consume at least a hundred years of his lifespan.
With Senior Dongfang around, he can't cause any trouble for the time being.
Besides, Li Nuo still had some questions to ask him.
Looking at the two brothers of the Ximen family who looked extremely old in an instant, the man in black was extremely frightened and felt extremely aggrieved at the same time. Why did he always encounter such things?
Last time, that mysterious man forced him to eat something and forced him to do things for him.
This evil young man used the strange Yin-Yang School's semi-saint method to deprive the semi-saint of his lifespan, but it had no effect on him...
What is wrong with this world?
