Chapter 109 Make a Deal with Me
A huge force hit Xie Liuyin's sword hard. If Xie Liuyin had not undergone many body tempering processes and his strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator, Mo Que's sword would have slipped out of his hand long ago.
Realizing that the attacker had ill intentions, Xie Liuyin immediately tried to fight back, but the opponent was faster than her.
After a crisp sound, all the lighting tools in Jiang Shan and others' hands were broken, and the whole cave was dark.
Xie Liuyin's eyes had not yet adapted to the change in light, and for a moment he could not see clearly what was around him.
But she immediately spread out her spiritual sense and soon keenly sensed a strange breath approaching rapidly.
Realizing that this must be another attack, Xie Liuyin's sword was the first to meet it.
Dazzling sparks appeared again, and with this little light, Xie Liuyin was finally able to see the person in front of him clearly.
A pair of cold vertical pupils carried murderous intent, and long raven-blue hair was scattered behind him, making him look like a ghost.
Xie Liuyin felt a chill down his spine and goose bumps instantly appeared all over his body.
She couldn't explain her feelings at the moment, she just knew that if she didn't act ruthlessly, she might die here.
"Mo Que!" Xie Liuyin called out to the sword spirit in his mind.
The sword spirit also understood what she meant. The golden spiritual power was poured into the sword. The sword energy exploded instantly, causing shock waves all around.
The sharp sword energy rushed towards the vague figure in the darkness, but did not hurt anyone, only creating another spark.
"Senior Sister Qiu Yu, Senior Brother Jiang Shan, you leave first!" While the other party was forced back by his sword energy, Xie Liuyin hurriedly shouted to the others to leave quickly.
She shouted several times, but the person behind her did not move.
At this point, Xie Liuyin couldn't help but see that something was fishy.
Qiu Yu and the others have been silent since their lighting device was smashed. I'm afraid something happened to them at that time.
Xie Liuyin's spiritual sense told her that these people were still alive, but she didn't know whether they were injured or fainted.
When she swung her sword, the opponent's attack finally stopped. The man seemed to realize the power of Xie Liuyin's sword and did not dare to confront her head-on.
Fortunately, after being in the dark for a long time, Xie Liuyin's eyes gradually adapted to the light in the cave. She vaguely saw a tall figure hiding in the corner of the cave, looking at her with great fear.
"Fellow Daoist, you really got a good sword. It would be even better if the sword was not pointed at me." The low voice was a little hoarse and the tone was very frivolous, which made Xie Liuyin feel unhappy.
She couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, so she could only be on high alert, preparing for him to attack again: "Who are you, sir? Why did you suddenly attack us?"
"Your words are interesting. If you and your group hadn't suddenly barged in, how could I have attacked you so easily?" The man laughed. "I don't know who ordered you and your group to come and kill me?"
The more Xie Liuyin listened to this, the more confused he became: "Your Excellency, you must have misunderstood. We got a treasure map and came here to look for treasure."
"Treasure hunting?" The man laughed after hearing this. "Not to mention that these locations are so hidden that ordinary people can't find them at all, there is no spiritual energy flowing out of this cave. What treasures can there be?"
It seems that this person doesn't believe what he said.
However, Xie Liuyin changed his mind and felt that this person's vigilance was not unreasonable.
She could only explain: "Although this place is hidden, our treasure map clearly indicates that there is a water-repellent mermaid pearl hidden under the deep pool here. We came here just for the mermaid pearl."
"If you don't believe me, I can go into the pool and find the mermaid pearl." Afraid that this person would not believe him, Xie Liuyin quickly added.
The man paused for a moment after hearing this, and then seemed to raise his hand and make some gesture.
The next second, Xie Liuyin saw a streak of light passing before his eyes, and a glittering bead floated out from the pool and fell into the hands of the person opposite him.
"So fellow Taoist and his group are looking for this. It seems that I really misunderstood you." After getting the mermaid pearl, the other party's tone was finally lighter than before.
Xie Liuyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully: "Although this is a misunderstanding, it is also because of our poor ability that we failed to notice that you were resting here. I apologize to you."
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please allow me to leave with my fellow disciples and friends."
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to leave just like that? Then you don't want this mermaid pearl anymore?" The man held the mermaid pearl and shook it at Xie Liuyin.
In the darkness, only the light of the mermaid pearl was particularly dazzling.
Xie Liuyin said: "No, as long as you are willing to let us leave safely."
The man suddenly let out a series of low laughs, sounding a little crazy: "This is not up to you."
Xie Liuyin's brows darkened instantly. Was this guy not going to let them go?
As if sensing Xie Liuyin's sudden change in momentum, the other party waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, Daoist friend. I just want to make a deal with you. Daoist friend's swordsmanship is really superb. I want to ask Daoist friend to do me a small favor. After the matter is done, this mermaid pearl will be yours."
Xie Liuyin was of course unwilling to agree. This man was obviously more powerful than himself, and he had even been suppressing himself before.
If she didn't have the Mo Que sword protecting her, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even the first attack when they first met.
If even he couldn't solve the problem, what could Xie Liuyin, a Qi-refining cultivator, do?
"I am small and weak, just a Qi-refining cultivator. I am afraid I can't help you in any way. You should look for someone more capable." While dealing with the man, Xie Liuyin tried to convey a message to Yun Xuan.
But she called Yunxuan's name several times but heard no response.
Now Xie Liuyin became even more worried. If even Yunxuan, the ghost fairy, could be hurt by the man in front of him, his strength was too terrifying.
The rejected man chuckled: "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be modest. Anyone who can take two of my moves is not considered a weakling in this secret realm."
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and a lamp appeared out of thin air.
The light spread from his side to the surroundings, and Xie Liuyin finally saw the situation in the cave clearly.
There were people lying on the ground all around her. Xie Liuyin hurriedly helped Hua Lingxue up from her feet, but she could see her dark purple lips at a glance.
"You actually poisoned me!" Xie Liuyin suddenly raised his head and looked at the man in the corner.
At this time, the other party's figure was already extremely clear. He was tall and his black clothes were wet and dripping with water.
But what surprised Xie Liuyin the most was that the man's lower body was clearly a pitch-black snake tail!
This is a demon!
The man's thick and long tail was moving on the ground, with a slightly hideous scar on it.
There were extremely clear scratches on the seemingly extremely hard scales. Xie Liuyin guessed that one of the scratches was the one he had just left.
"I have been accumulating this poison for many days. I am the only one in the world who can cure it." The man was not worried about being recognized. "Their life and death now depends on your thoughts."
