All the way to the master's cave.
Li Xuan's nervous mood finally eased a little.
After entering the cave, he went straight to find his master and handed Ren Hai and his sister over to Jiang Yu for reception.
Jiang Yu was confused, and Ren Hai also felt a little embarrassed because he had just slapped the other person and sent him flying.
Do you want him to receive you now?
Li Xuan didn't care about anything else and went straight into the depths of the cave to meet his master.
"Oh, you conquered that dandy outside so quickly?" Gu Xianzhi only had to investigate for a moment and realized that this rascal Ren Hai was different from before.
"Master, I have something important to tell you."
Li Xuan didn't waste any time and went straight to the point to tell him what he had overheard in the Xuannv Sect.
After hearing this, Gu Xianzhi frowned.
"Master, doesn't this mean that there must be something wrong with the Xuannv Sect? Should we unite with the seniors at the peak of the eighth level to encircle and suppress them?"
Li Xuan asked.
This was just his ideal scenario. Of course, he also knew that he had only overheard it at the time, but he had no definite evidence.
Even if they went to encircle and suppress them, given the Xuannv Sect's vigilance, they probably wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
Gu Xianzhi, however, was thinking about something else: "You went to the Xuannv Sect with Ren Hai and the others, got into a commotion there, and then happened to come across Ji Yao's conversation with the statue?"
"Isn't this all just a coincidence?"
After hearing what his master said, Li Xuan suddenly came to his senses. He was shocked by the news at first and felt that he must pass on the news.
But he ignored this simplest truth. Although his mental power was very strong, it was only enough to eavesdrop.
It all seemed too coincidental.
"But if the Xuannv Sect did this on purpose, then what is their purpose?" Li Xuan was very puzzled.
Gu Xianzhi took a deep breath and said, "Don't think too much. Many people have heard these rumors before. This is why the Xuannv Sect is suspected."
"But that doesn't mean they're guilty. Any force that can gain a foothold within the human territory cannot be completely demonic."
"To put it bluntly, in fact, among all the major forces, including the top ones, there are many people with ulterior motives!"
Different thoughts!
Li Xuan easily understood what this sentence meant based on the situation.
In other words, there are quite a few people who are trying to collude with the demons, and just because of the rumors he heard is far from enough to overthrow the Xuannv Sect.
But he was almost certain that the Xuannv Sect was definitely related to the demon clan.
Moreover, they have already sent people to contact me. The purpose of doing so is very simple, which is to find a way to get rid of me.
Since the relationship has become like this, it is better to take the initiative, even if it causes some obstacles, than to passively accept it.
Gu Xianzhi had a different idea. He said, "How about this? You've had enough experience these days. Start practicing in seclusion from now on!"
"Practice your realm directly to the high eighth stage. Then, the difficulty for the demons to deal with you will be no less than directly dealing with a peak combat force."
As long as the person is at the high eighth level within the human territory, the demons will have no chance of assassinating him successfully unless they use all possible means.
Are you in seclusion?
Li Xuan thought about it and realized that with his current level, if he started to retreat, it would take at least several years to reach the high level of the eighth level.
This speed is already an exaggerated speed in the eyes of others, but it is very slow for Li Xuan.
Moreover, it is a slow progress that can be traced and predicted by the demons.
My talent is already known to everyone, so how could the demons not know it? They will definitely find a way to deal with me, so I haven't taken action now.
There is only one possibility, and that is preparation.
Assassination is not about quantity, but quality. If you keep using various means to target Li Xuan, the failure rate will only get higher and higher.
As long as the assassination succeeds once, it will be considered a success. The demons must have been preparing for a full-scale assassination.
Li Xuan was very clear about this. The reason why he had been able to survive under the targeting of the demons was because of his abnormally fast progress.
If I hadn't progressed at this rate, I would have died in the assassination of the demons long ago.
This speed of progress was unexpected by everyone, including myself, but if I start to ignore everything and go into seclusion now.
Then the speed of progress must be fixed, because there will be no more adventures and no more variables. By then, the demons will have mastered this speed of progress.
The success rate of assassination will inevitably be greatly improved.
Li Xuan thought about this and immediately shook his head: "Master, if I start to retreat now, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the assassination of the demons."
"I've arranged for you to retreat in the Qingshan Sect, and I'll be watching over you alongside your Uncle Zhuge for the next few years. With two peak eighth-rank masters and the Qingshan Sect's massive formation, we'll be absolutely safe!"
Gu Xianzhi spoke.
He also now feels that it would be dangerous for Li Xuan to stay outside all the time.
Li Xuan said, "Two peak eighth-level warriors, plus the sect's great formation, this is indeed a very powerful defense. I'm afraid no one below the peak combat power can break through it."
But he changed the subject: "But our opponent is the entire demon clan. Master, do you think the demon clan has any means to forcibly break through these?"
The entire demon clan!
Gu Xianzhi knew that Li Xuan was not exaggerating at all. If it was the entire demon clan, they would definitely have certain means, although there were still many top combatants guarding here.
However, if the demons try their best, even at a great cost, they still have a chance to break through such defense.
He fell silent for a moment, and at the same time he knew what Li Xuan was thinking.
"You want to use your own speed of progress to break the demon clan's arrangements?"
Li Xuan nodded immediately: "That's right. If I can improve my combat power to the high eighth level within the next year, it will be stronger than any protection."
Only when one's own strength is stronger can one withstand numerous assassinations. Otherwise, even the most powerful defense is not enough to protect one's own strength.
Many assassinations can penetrate these protections.
"Then from now on, you can only rely on yourself!" Gu Xianzhi looked at Li Xuan with complicated eyes.
Cultivation is one's own business, especially in the later stages of the realm, when everything depends on one's own talent, luck, and hard work.
