Thinking of this, Lan Tiao gritted her teeth and felt that she couldn't continue to be so passive.
He opened the door.
Sang Li was extremely surprised, and then ecstatic. He didn't expect that this newcomer would actually open the door. Although the sect did have something like the [Sleepless Pill], this pill needed to be exchanged for spirit stones. How could he possibly take the Sleepless Pill for a mere newcomer?
This newcomer is so gullible!
Sang Li had a cold smile on his face. He had waited outside the door for so long before the newcomer opened it. He was very angry and planned to "entertain" the newcomer well before killing him...
Just as he was thinking this, Lan Tiao had already walked out of the room.
"That's right. Wouldn't it be better if you had just come out earlier or invited me into the room? The copper coin at the door of this room has a built-in photo-retaining effect. If you invite me in now, I will personally check your luggage. Do you hear me?" Sang Li said carelessly, because he found that Lan Tiao's cultivation aura was only at the Infant Yuan Realm. Such a weak cultivator had no room to survive in the Living City. Although strong people often formed teams and recruited cultivators at the Infant Yuan Realm, they were actually recruiting cannon fodder.
"Oh?" Lan Tiao suddenly felt that Sang Li was really a "good person" because Sang Li had revealed a lot of information, both openly and secretly. Lan Tiao said, "I invite you to my room."
Sang Li got the promise and pushed Lan Tiao arrogantly. He walked into the room. Lan Tiao followed closely behind him and closed the door.
Sang Li was carrying a defensive spiritual weapon. The advantage of the spiritual weapon was that it could be immune to all attacks from the Infant Yuan Realm. The disadvantage was that it could only be immune to attacks of the Infant Yuan Realm strength. Once the intensity of the attack exceeded this limit, the spiritual weapon would be useless. Sang Li felt that Lan Tiao was only at the Infant Yuan Realm and was not to be feared, so he dared to show his back.
Sang Li saw a bundle on the table, which should be used to hold luggage. He did not approach the bundle, but waved his hand and slashed out a blade of energy, directly unfolding the cloth outside the bundle. He found that there was no poison powder and no mechanism, and he felt a little relieved.
Lan Tiao stared at the back of Sang Li's head. After walking a few steps, she saw that Sang Li's attention had been attracted by the bundle, so she suddenly stabbed out the dagger hidden in her sleeve. The dagger was attached to abundant spiritual power. With a "swish", the dagger successfully pierced into Sang Li's back.
Sang Li's body stiffened. He looked down in disbelief to see the sharp part of the dagger protruding from his chest. He felt the powerful spiritual power contained in it. His first reaction was that the dagger was a spiritual weapon, so it could hurt him. Then he sensed that Lan Tiao's breath had risen from the Yingyuan Realm to the Qingyuan Realm.
A master of the Qingyuan realm...
Sang Li's face was filled with astonishment. If he had known that the newcomer in the room was a cultivator in the Qingyuan realm, he would have run away long ago and would not have dared to block the door at all!
The living city emphasizes strength, and everyone is trying hard to appear powerful so that others will think they are not easy to mess with. The newcomer in this room must have his head squeezed by the window!
You are a Qingyuan realm person, why are you pretending to be in the Yingyuan realm!
Sang Li was filled with horror. Just when he wanted to dodge quickly, he found that an endless spiritual power was wrapping around his body, making him unable to resist.
After Lan Tiao cast the spell, he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately pulled out his dagger and stabbed again. He continued this action for more than ten times, and bright red blood splattered all over his head and face. This was Lan Tiao's first time killing someone. At the beginning, he was full of courage, but later his hands were shaking, his face was pale, and he was full of panic. He forced himself to calm down, and when he calmed down completely, he found that Sang Li's body was already cold...
Lan Tiao's legs felt a little weak. He sat on the edge of the bed and rested for a while. He felt that he could not delay any longer. Sang Li sounded very powerful. In order not to be discovered, Lan Tiao decided to dispose of the body overnight. He endured the discomfort, wrapped Sang Li's body with a sheet, and then carried the body out.
Lan Tiao had heard that if you kept walking along the street, you would find a forest filled with fog. Once you walked into the fog, you would basically never come back. Lan Tiao used the invisibility technique his sister had taught him and carried Sang Li out of the forest. Just as he was about to throw the body in, he suddenly remembered that he had given Sang Li a silver ingot before. He couldn't let the dead man get away with it, so he started to search him...
Not only did he get his silver back, but he also got ten extra spirit stones.
——These ten spirit stones were snatched from a casual cultivator by Sang Li, and he didn’t have time to return them to his room.
After Lan Tiao got the spirit stone, she threw Sang Li's body into the woods. The rolling fog quickly swallowed up the body. Lan Tiao waited for a moment and found that the fog was getting thicker and she could not see anything, so she returned the same way.
However, what Lan Tiao didn't know was that every disciple of the Yansheng Sect had a "spiritual lamp". If the spiritual lamp was always lit, it meant that the owner of the lamp was still alive. If the spiritual lamp went out, it meant death. Sang Li was a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. He had a half-sister named Sang Taohua.
Sang Taohua is the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. After discovering that her brother had died, Sang Taohua immediately sent people to investigate. Soon, the Life-Disgusting Sect found out that Sang Li had blocked the door of a certain room during the day. As for how Sang Li died at night, no one knew.
Sang Taohua personally brought people to Lan Tiao's door and knocked on it.
There was no sound in the room.
"Listen up everyone inside. I'm Sang Taohua, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Life-Disgusting Sect. I need you to open the door and cooperate with the investigation. If you don't open the door, my disciples of the Life-Disgusting Sect will block you here."
Lan Tiao was shocked. Someone came to her door so soon?
Mulberry and peach blossoms...
He has the same surname as the deceased Sang Li, so they must be relatives.
However, Lan Tiao had already thought of an excuse. He pretended to have just woken up, wearing only a snow-white undershirt. He opened the door and asked with a confused look on his face, "What do you need me to cooperate with?"
"There was a man named Sang Li standing outside your door. What did he say to you? When was the last time you heard him speak?"
Hearing this, Lan Tiao deliberately showed a look of fear on his face and told the first half of the incident truthfully. As for the second half, he began to make up stories: "I was sleeping at night and didn't know what happened. I heard you at the door saying that you would cooperate with the investigation... Are you from the City Lord's Mansion?"
"No." Sang Taohua took a step back, beckoned towards Lan Tiao, and said, "You must be a newcomer to the Living City. The Life-Disgusting Sect doesn't belong to the City Lord's Mansion... I'm sorry to bother you so late. Come here, and I'll give you a spirit stone as compensation."
Sang Taohua took out a magic stone from her sleeve and looked at Lan Tiao with a smile.
