Chapter 220 Remember, I don’t like eating chopped green onions
A moment later.
In the boundless night.
A man wearing a white robe, a tall hat, holding a white whisk in his hand, with a thin face and prominent cheekbones, walked out of the night and stood outside Li's mansion.
"Master Sikong, you are finally here!"
Li Erbao, who was in charge of waiting outside, suddenly became delighted when he saw this and hurried over to greet him.
"Sir, my mother is dying, please go and see her right away!"
The man with a white tall hat and no beard smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there's no need to worry. As long as Madam Li is still alive, I can keep her safe."
Under Li Erbao's anxious gaze, the white-bearded man walked leisurely towards the big house in the backyard.
"Dad! Lord Sikong is here!"
Li Erbao shouted hurriedly outside the door.
Crunch.
The door opened automatically.
Li Changsheng gently put down his hand, stood up and looked at the white-bearded man in the tall hat, and forced himself to suppress his anger and asked, "Where's the medicine?"
Upon hearing this, the tall-hatted man took out a black pill the size of a longan from his sleeve and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. Our Sikong clan promised to give you something, and we will never break our promise."
"Give it to me, then."
Li Changsheng stretched out his hand and said expressionlessly.
"Hey~~, Brother Li, don't be anxious."
The tall-hatted man smiled and shook his head, saying, "This medicine was made by our family master who personally went to ask the most powerful ancestor in our family to refine it using heavy objects and secret techniques. One pill can increase a mortal's life span by one year. It is extremely precious."
"What do you mean?" Li Changsheng's eyes gradually narrowed.
"My meaning is very simple."
The tall hat man swung the whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li is not a fool. You should understand that there is no such thing as a gift for nothing in this world, right?"
"Everything in this world is nothing but a transaction."
"If you want this longevity pill, you will naturally have to pay with something else."
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng's expression gradually turned cold.
However, when he saw Lu Zhinu, whose face was sallow and whose pupils were beginning to sag, lying on the bed, he could not help but slowly clench his fists and asked, "What do you want?"
"A person's life!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in the tall hat, who was smiling.
"Chen Zhixing, the third son of the Ziwei Chen family, is currently in Huaizhou!"
"I want you to kill him yourself!"
"Chen Zhixing from the Ziwei Chen family?" Li Changsheng frowned.
Li Sanbao, who was standing by, suddenly changed his expression and said, "Dad, Chen Zhixing is not only the legitimate son of the long-lived Ziwei Chen family of Yanzhou, but also the future head of the Ziwei family! He is also the canonized son of God of the Tianlan Holy Land! He is also the leader of the current long-lived Tianjiao list!"
"A few days ago, this man fought against the Five Elements Thunder Sect's leader who was in the Nirvana Realm with his sixth-level True Self body and remained undefeated!"
As Li Sanbao finished speaking quickly.
Li Changsheng couldn't help but frown.
He is not a brave and aggressive person, nor is he a bloodthirsty and indifferent person.
Quite the opposite.
He is naturally indifferent, steady and cautious. His greatest pursuit in life is to lead Zhinu, his wife and children to live a peaceful life and seek immortality.
Whenever there were disputes outside, he never intervened. He would just frown and retreat behind the crowd.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to hide his cultivation and live in Huaizhou for decades.
If it weren't for that accident, I'm afraid he wouldn't have exposed his strength now.
However.
However, the Sikong family threatened him with the longevity elixir and forced him to kill an unrelated person.
This was not what he wanted.
"No room for negotiation?" Li Changsheng asked.
"No!"
The man in the tall hat shook his head.
"this"
Li Changsheng glanced at Lu Zhinu lying on the bed, and a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Upon hearing this, the tall-hatted man couldn't help but curl up his thin lips into a slight smile.
"Friend Li is indeed a smart man."
"Taking a stranger's life in exchange for the life of your loved one is the most profitable deal in the world."
As he spoke, the man in the tall hat threw the black pill the size of a longan in his hand to Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng stretched out his hand and carefully stuffed the black pill into Lu Zhinu's mouth.
After doing all this.
Li Changsheng stared at Lu Zhinu closely, not daring to blink at all.
Almost instantly.
Lu Zhinu's originally sallow face quickly turned pale, and then a sickly blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
The originally dilated pupils also began to focus.
A vitality emanated from Lu Zhinu's body.
"Pheasant slave!"
In an instant.
A strong look of joy welled up in Li Changsheng's eyes.
He was about to turn around and look at the tall-hatted man from the Sikong family.
This person had already drifted away and disappeared into the vast night sky, and only a slightly chuckled voice was heard.
"Friend Li, don't think that everything will be fine just because your wife has taken the elixir."
"Remember, this medicine can only extend your lifespan by one year. If you can't kill Chen Zhixing, you probably don't want to experience the separation of life and death again after one year, right?"
Li Changsheng didn't say anything when he heard this, but slowly clenched his fists.
at the same time.
Chen Zhixing and his two companions stopped at a place called Xiongxi City.
Xiongxi City is not a big city, but it is an extremely important transportation hub in Huaizhou.
'
Countless heroes from the martial arts world and practitioners of cultivation would stop here to rest.
Chen Zhixing and the other two, all wearing bamboo hats, walked into a restaurant in the city.
Speaking of which, ever since I used the teleportation talisman, left the Five Elements Thunder Sect, and appeared in that wilderness.
The three of them were still unaware of the situation in the outside world.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Therefore, the three of them also wanted to find out the current situation in the outside world.
Perhaps because it was not yet dinner time, the entire restaurant seemed deserted.
There were only a few tables where people were eating noodles and talking loudly.
After Chen Zhixing and the other two took their seats, they just listened casually for a few sentences and roughly understood that the people at these tables were all discussing something about him.
The general content is nothing more than the battle between the Five Elements Thunder Sect and the Sikong family, and the issuance of the No. 1 wanted order.
However, the discussion content of one table was quite different from that of the other tables.
"If you ask me, it's a good thing that Chen Zhixing, the third son of Ziwei, was killed! The Sikong family is used to bullying our Huaizhou, and no one dares to provoke them. It's not easy for a fierce dragon to come across the river this time, so we can teach them a lesson!"
"That's right. The Sikong family is usually arrogant and domineering! Finally, they have a Chen Zhixing. We are so happy!"
"Hehe, one against seven, killing seven great geniuses in a snap of a finger! Once again, with the body of the real self, he fought against the mighty Nirvana without being defeated, and retreated calmly! What a heroic figure! It really makes us yearn for it, and we wish we could take his place!"
Following the discussion of the monks at that table.
The restaurant owner who was sitting far away and had a mustache and a big belly, couldn't help but stop calculating on his abacus, walked over and snorted coldly:
"As people from Huaizhou, why don't you speak up for our Sikong clan? You are actually betraying us and speaking up for Chen Zhixing?"
"If there is no Sikong family, where would you come from? You are such a thing!"
One of the monks at the table stood up and said:
"Boss, that's not what I meant. Just because we are from Huaizhou, we can't be indiscriminate, right?"
"Innocent?"
The restaurant owner narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You mean, Chen Zhixing was right to kill people in the Five Elements Thunder Sect?"
The monk who stood up was about to speak, but the person walking with him quickly pulled his sleeve.
The monk seemed to remember something, groaned in frustration, sat down again, and drank without saying a word.
"oh?"
Chen Zhixing raised his eyebrows with great interest. If an ordinary diner encountered a restaurant owner who was so aggressive, he would have overturned the table long ago, right?
This attitude is strange.
Shan Yang seemed to see Chen Zhixing's doubts and lowered his voice and said:
"Third Young Master, you don't know that the Sikong family has extended its tentacles to all walks of life in Huaizhou, from the ordinary chambers of commerce to the major sects. Behind most of them, there is the shadow of the Sikong family."
"I'm afraid this restaurant is also a subsidiary of a certain figure in the Sikong family. The Chamber of Commerce opened in the mortal world will naturally not tolerate others saying anything bad about the Sikong family."
"How dare an ordinary person fight someone who is related to the Sikong family?"
Pause.
Shan Yang changed the subject and said:
"And the boundaries of Huaizhou are different from those of other states."
"The people of this state have been severely brainwashed by the Sikong family under their whitewashing. They have a blind worship of the Sikong family and are proud to work for them. They even regard the Sikong family as the heaven and believe that the Sikong family is the most powerful force in the world!"
"There are only a very small number of people like those at that table who have an objective vision."
"Oh?" Chen Zhixing was a little surprised. How could a family have such a great influence?
"Sir, don't underestimate the Sikong family."
Shan Yang shook his head and said, "The reason why the Sikong family is so huge is related to his various methods."
"For example, all children born in Huaizhou must learn the family history of the Sikong family and read the martial arts books published by the Sikong family from a young age."
"After generations of repetition, the people of the entire Huaizhou have the Sikong family rooted in their minds. Everyone has become a reserve of the Sikong family, and has become a brick in the growth of the Sikong family without regrets."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but sigh and said, "What a trick!"
The two were talking.
The innkeeper walked up to Chen Zhixing, cursing, and asked casually, "What would you like to eat?"
Chen Zhixing was moved and asked, "Boss, what do you think of Chen Zhixing?"
"Chen Zhixing?"
The innkeeper was immediately filled with anger upon hearing this and said, "In my opinion, Chen Zhixing is worse than a beast!"
"Not only did he trespass into the Five Elements Thunder Sect's forbidden land and steal the Five Elements Thunder Sect's century-old foundation, but he was also shameless and started a massacre in the Five Elements Thunder Sect!"
"A man like this is worthy of being called a genius? Humph, as long as the Sikong family takes action, it will be like a divine weapon descending from the sky, and they will be able to kill that little beast Chen Zhixing in a blink of an eye!"
"Just wait and see. In a few days, the villain Chen Zhixing will surely die at the hands of the Sikong family!"
Chen Zhixing smiled when he heard this, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
"Well said, I think what you said makes sense."
"Hey, that's natural!"
The innkeeper smiled smugly upon hearing this, then patted his head and said, "What would you like to eat? My beef noodles are very famous."
"Then let's have a bowl of beef noodles."
Chen Zhixing picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes and took a sip, saying:
"Remember, don't put chopped green onions in beef noodles."
“I don’t like eating chopped green onions.”
