Chapter 299 Left Envoy
Hu Xiaoer had just put away the small arrow when Wang Niuniu, who had just woken up from the other bed, came over and asked Hu Xiaoer worriedly:
"Little Second Brother, Master Rabbit suddenly asked us to go to the Holy Mountain... Is everything okay? What did Master say?"
"...Master has to leave temporarily for something, so let us...protect ourselves."
Hu Xiaoer couldn't tell where Li Qi had gone, but since his master left one of his personal arrows for him, it proved that he had not given up on Hu Xiaoer and Wang Niuniu, but really had something to do.
After hearing what Hu Xiaoer said, Wang Niuniu didn't ask any more questions.
She became Li Qi's disciple because Hu Xiaoer also became Li Qi's disciple, and she wanted to be with Hu Xiaoer, so she also became Li Qi's disciple.
Li Qi, with the idea that it is better to let one sheep go than to drive two sheep away, accepted Wang Niuniu as his disciple.
But in fact, Wang Niuniu didn’t really trust Li Qi.
After all, Li Qi did not show any other magical skills in front of her, and he only taught her some external martial arts horizontal training moves symbolically.
In Wang Niuniu's opinion, compared with the immortal master of Shengxian Sect, Li Qi should still be inferior.
So now she was not worried about Li Qi's safety, but was worried that Li Qi would be caught by the people of Shengxian Sect if he wandered around.
It will implicate them then...
Wang Niuniu was still worried, but Hu Xiaoer had already pulled her away from the dormitory where they lived together and went to gather outside.
When they arrived at the gathering place, they discovered that all the disciples who had joined Rabbit Sect in the past few days were gathered here.
Apart from Li Qi, there were a total of fourteen people here. The fourteen people stood in a row in front of the formal disciples of the Rabbit Sect of the Shengxian Sect, and everyone had a look of confusion and uneasiness on their faces.
"Twelve, thirteen, fourteen... Eh? Why is there one missing?"
The female disciple in charge of counting the number of people frowned and asked.
She was about to go back to look for someone when she heard the Rabbit Gate Guardian standing behind her and examining the fourteen people speak up:
"No need to look for it, just go ahead."
"this……"
The female disciple turned around and looked at the veiled Rabbit Guardian. In the end, she said nothing more and replied:
"Yes, Master."
As she spoke, she began to walk to the back of the team with another disciple, with the Rabbit Protector walking in front, heading towards the holy mountain of the Shengxian Sect.
The Rabbit Protector led everyone forward, and Hu Xiaoer followed in the team.
I don’t know if it’s the intuition brought by practicing spiritual skills, but Hu Xiaoer always feels that the higher he goes up the holy mountain, the more dangerous it becomes, and he has a urge to escape from here.
But with the Rabbit Guardian in front and two disciples of the Rabbit Sect behind him, Hu Xiaoer had no way to escape even if he wanted to.
Out of instinct, Hu Xiaoer quietly approached Wang Niuniu and put one hand on her waist.
The small arrow that Li Qi gave him was hidden at his waist. As long as Hu Xiaoer activated it with his mind, it would fly out instantly and hit the enemy's vital points!
However, although the two disciples at the back were both at the acquired realm, the Rabbit Guardian leading the way in front was at the innate realm.
The gap between acquired and innate abilities is huge. Even if Hu Xiaoer could take out two Rabbit Sect disciples through a sneak attack with small arrows, he would be powerless against the Rabbit Guardian in front.
What’s more crucial is that even if they were dealt with, Hu Xiaoer and the others would not be able to escape.
The area of dozens of miles here is the territory of the Shengxian Sect. Even if they run out of the Rabbit Gate, they cannot run out of the scope of the Shengxian Sect.
Hu Xiaoer thought to himself and secretly observed the expressions of others.
Compared to Hu Xiaoer, who became wary of the Shengxian Sect because of what Li Qi said, the attitudes of the others at this moment were rather excited.
Because the Rabbit Guardian said that he would take them to the Holy Mountain of the Ascension Sect! What kind of place is the Holy Mountain? It is the most important place of the Ascension Sect, where the Ascension Sect headquarters is located! How can these small characters like them have the qualifications to go to the Ascension Sect headquarters? At this moment, the Rabbit Guardian took them to the Holy Mountain to do things. Does it mean that they have the qualifications to officially enter the Ascension Sect? Will they become official disciples of the Ascension Sect after this time?
Most people think so, and that is why they are nervous, uneasy, and excited, but not afraid.
Even in this atmosphere, Hu Xiaoer's thoughts and ideas have changed slightly.
If it weren't for the small arrow that Li Qi gave him, which established a spiritual connection with him and stabilized Hu Xiaoer's mind, he would probably be becoming more and more abnormal now.
'Calm your mind, concentrate, remember to activate the Heavenly Soul Transfer, and don't look around.'
Just as Hu Xiaoer felt something was wrong, Li Qi's voice came into his ears.
Hu Xiaoer subconsciously started to practice the skills he had practiced, and soon his mind became much clearer.
He blinked and subconsciously wanted to look around to find out where his master Li Qi was.
But before he could turn around, he heard Li Qi's voice transmission: "I told you not to look around. Now I'm going to say this. Listen and remember this. You will go to a place where an old man who looks like a skeleton will lead you. You and Niuniu remember to follow him and listen to him. He will take you away. If you understand, nod your head. Don't be too nodding."
After hearing what Li Qi said, Hu Xiaoer nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Then he didn't hear Li Qi's voice again. He turned his head slightly and pretended to look towards Wang Niuniu casually. Hu Xiaoer found that Wang Niuniu's expression was also a little surprised. It seemed that Li Qi was not sending a message to only him.
Hu Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Li Qi had not abandoned him.
He stopped having wild thoughts and continued to move forward with the Rabbit Guardian in front of him. Not long after they walked, they indeed saw a skinny old man waiting in front of a pavilion.
The Rabbit Protector walked over and said something to him, then walked aside and ignored these new disciples.
It was like completing the handover of tasks.
…
Li Qi, who was disguised as the Rabbit Guardian, watched the Rabbit Gate group follow the Scorpion Old Man away and secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
After that, he stopped paying attention to them and turned to the two disciples following him and said:
"Okay, you guys go back first."
The two disciples looked at each other.
Although they were a little confused about Li Qi's order, it was an order from their superior after all, so they still obeyed it, clasped their hands together, replied "yes", and then turned and left.
Li Qi continued to wait in front of the attic. While waiting, he looked at the headquarters of the Shengxian Sect built on the mountain in front of him.
The headquarters of the Shengxian Sect is located in the center of this island.
Opposite it is a three-story hall, which is extremely majestic, like a palace in the imperial palace.
Next to the main hall stands a seven-story pagoda.
This pagoda is where the human furnace is located, and it is also the place where fake elixirs are refined. It is usually guarded by Longmen, a subordinate of the Azure Dragon Guardian.
However, the Scorpion Guardian of the Hidden Department also has the authority to bring people in.
The refining of the human furnace is not carried out immediately. The normal refining process is to gather the human furnaces together, determine their status, and then cultivate the medicinal food for one to three days before refining the fake pill.
Therefore, Li Qi still had some time to investigate the origin of the golden elixir and did not have to worry about the safety of these human furnaces for the time being. That was why Li Qi did not follow the Scorpion Protector in.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and take action directly, which would ruin everything.
But even though it would take time to refine the human furnace, Li Qi also instructed the Scorpion Protector to first settle Hu Xiaoer and Wang Niuniu.
After all, these two people are still Li Qi's disciples, and they have performed the ceremony of becoming his apprentice. Li Qi can't just watch them die.
After the Rabbit Gate group went in, the Snake Gate group soon came over with a group of people.
But the person who led the new disciples of Snake Sect here was not the Snake Sect’s guardian, but just an ordinary innate.
He was also surprised to see 'Tu Yu'er' here, but he didn't make a fuss. He saluted Li Qi normally and then led his men into the seven-story pagoda.
Not long after he entered, the Scorpion Guardian walked out of the main gate and nodded slightly to Li Qi:
"It's all arranged."
"So let's go see the Left Envoy now?"
Li Qi glanced at the Scorpion Guardian.
The Scorpion Guardian nodded slightly: "Okay, I have already contacted the Left Envoy, he is waiting for us in the side hall."
After hearing what the Scorpion Protector said, Li Qi turned his gaze to the building on the other side of the hall.
The Shengxian Sect generally does not use the main hall. It is only used when the leader summons the guardians to a meeting.
When the left and right envoys summon other guardians, they will use the side hall nearby.
Now the Left Envoy is waiting in the side hall.
"Side hall? Is that okay?"
Li Qi asked with a frown.
The Scorpion Guardian knew why Li Qi asked this, and he replied: "It doesn't matter. The leader is not in the sect recently, and the Left Envoy is in charge of all matters of the sect, so it doesn't matter where we talk."
I see.
Li Qi originally thought that it was a bit too careless for the Left Envoy and the Scorpion Protector to discuss the matter of "job hopping" directly in a not-so-secret place like the side hall.
But since the entire Shengxian Sect is now managed by Zuo Shi, there is no need to worry about whether it is strict or not.
After all, Zuo Shi is now the boss of Shengxian Sect, so even if someone really reports him, he can suppress it.
After briefly chatting with the Scorpion Guardian, Li Qi followed him straight to the side hall.
On the way, they met some disciples of the Shengxian Sect, but there were no guardian-level believers, most of them were ordinary innate disciples.
Li Qi recalled what the Rabbit Protector said yesterday, and had further guesses about the current situation of the Shengxian Sect.
The current situation of the Shengxian Sect seems to be really not good.
In addition to the Tiger Guardian Yin Wenfan who was killed by Li Qi, the Shengxian Sect suffered heavy losses in the battle between good and evil this time, with nearly half of the twelve guardians lost, more than half of its disciples lost, and even one of the Four Symbols Guardians lost! At this time, the Scorpion Guardian may not be the only one who wants to find a new home.
However, the only one that was found by the Left Envoy was probably the Scorpion Protector.
While Li Qi was thinking, the Scorpion Guardian had already brought Li Qi to the side hall.
In the center of the side hall, standing in front of a demonized dragon sculpture, a man wearing a mask and pure white ascension robe had his back to the two of them.
Seeing the Scorpion Guardian bringing Li Qi over, he spoke quietly:
"Old Scorpion, you really can't forget your little lover."
"Lord Left Envoy, Yu'er is my only relative now. Please show mercy and let me go with Yu'er."
The Scorpion Protector pleaded respectfully to the person in front of him.
The man turned around, and his aura of a peak third-grade master was clearly revealed.
Li Qi lowered his head in front of him to avoid being discovered by him, and secretly recalled some information about this person.
Chai Bushun, the Left Envoy of Shengxian Sect, is a top-level third-rank master whose status is second only to the Sect Leader and the Right Envoy.
