Chapter 164: Little by Little
"A bunch of trash!!!"
The powerful pressure from a wave of his robe caused everyone in the hall to squat down in a row. The head of the Wuliang Sect had a hot temper and would not listen to advice. Now his eyes were blazing with anger, and no one would be foolish enough to offend him.
He stared coldly at Qing Li and Mu Zun, who were bowing and lowering their heads. "Is everything you said true?"
He couldn't believe that his precious daughter was dead.
Mu Zun unconsciously wanted to glance at Qing Li, but he forced himself to control himself.
Qing Li did not answer, but took out a piece of gravel from his arms and held it respectfully in his palm. When Sect Leader Wuliang raised his hand, the gravel floating in the air turned out to be a corner of the collection stone. He frowned, formed a seal with his fingertips and injected it into the gravel. The gravel was hazy, and the sound of rain could be heard vaguely and the shadow of the Purple Abyss Sky Demon Snake could be seen.
The crowd was shocked.
"Where did you find this piece of gravel?"
Sect Leader Wuliang looked at Qingli.
Qing Li bowed and replied, "Next to the corpse of the Purple Dark Sky Demon Snake."
The Wuliang Sect Master was silent for a moment, staring at the injuries on the blue-robed girl's body. He asked, "Qingli, I recognize you. I heard that you are the most talented disciple of the Wuliang Sect. How could you be injured like this in just a small secret realm trial?"
"I don't know the reason either."
Qing Li looked respectful and said slowly, "This secret realm trial is very strange, and many dangerous monsters have appeared."
Sect Leader Wuliang didn't say anything. After all, if the Purple Abyss Sky Demon Snake could appear, it was hard to say whether there would be other high-level demonic beasts. But... "Open the secret realm again! This time, I will go there in person. I want to see who is behind this and wants to kill my daughter. If I find evidence..." He glanced at Qingli with a cold expression, "I will skin her alive and execute her on the spot!"
"yes!"
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows when she heard the uniform voice.
The secret realm was opened again, and a crowd of Wuliang Sect disciples appeared there.
Qingli led the way and came to a canyon.
"It's right here."
The deep canyon stretches as far as the eye can see. The steep peaks on both sides are so high that they can block out the sun. The low black shadows cast strange and eerie shapes, reflecting the heavy clouds gradually gathering in the western sky.
Sect Leader Wuliang released his divine sense to survey the area. A strong aura of demonic beasts continued to permeate the area. He opened his eyes and solemnly addressed the disciples following him, "All disciples, explore the canyon and search for Mu Qing's whereabouts. Remember, caution is paramount."
"yes!"
All the disciples flew in on their swords.
Sect Leader Wuliang stared at Qingli and said, "You, come with me." Then he said to Mu Zun, "Go explore deep in the canyon and report back immediately if you find anything."
Qing Li: "Yes."
Mu Zun: "Yes."
The three of them separated immediately.
Qing Li followed Master Wuliang as they inspected the canyon. A piece of red-patterned talisman paper was floating next to Master Wuliang's right hand, and the burning talisman paper emitted a faint golden light.
Bai Xiaoxiao knew,
This is a soul-guiding talisman. The holder silently recites the name of the deceased in his heart. As long as there is the soul of the deceased within a thousand miles, the soul-guiding talisman will show the way to the living.
Sect Leader Wuliang didn't believe that Mu Qing was dead, but he didn't dare to completely disbelieve it.
They searched the canyon for a long time, turning left and right until they came to the cave where Qing Li had "trained" Mu Zun. Qing Li unconsciously glanced at the cave, but his eyes immediately retracted and met the gaze of Wuliang Sect Leader.
"What are you looking at?"
Sect Leader Wuliang looked at her gloomily.
Qing Li lowered his eyes: "Master, it's nothing."
Sect Leader Wuliang stared at her for a long time, then he flicked his sleeves and headed towards the cave. The sound of water falling on the rocks was still dripping. Sect Leader Wuliang walked in step by step and saw the cold lake spring deep in the cave, as well as the iron chains hanging on both sides. His eyes suddenly tightened.
"What's going on?!"
"I don't know."
Qingli's expression remained respectful.
“I don’t know?!”
Sect Leader Wuliang sneered, teleported in front of Qingli and grabbed her throat with one hand. Qingli didn't have time to react at all as her feet were immediately suspended in the air. She felt suffocated in an instant, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain as she pinched the big hand that was restraining her neck.
Master!
Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked.
"I've noticed you a long time ago."
Wuliang Sect Leader looked at her coldly, "You're avoiding me, your body tense, and you dare not meet my gaze. You're full of suspicious things you can't hide, yet you still dare to play tricks on me? You're simply wishful thinking."
He threw Qingli against the stone wall.
Qing Li rolled a few times and fell to the ground, spitting blood, and the bright red blood splashed onto the exposed skin of the Wuliang Sect Leader.
"You killed Mu Qing."
The Wuliang Sect Master stated, looking down on her with disdain: "You are so vicious, so cruel, you are not worthy of being an inner disciple of our Wuliang Sect. I will sever your spiritual roots right now, and you will be reborn here..."
He suddenly felt weak.
"What's going on?"
He wanted to cast a spell but found that the spiritual energy in his body seemed to have suddenly dissipated and disappeared.
【Is it working?】
Bai Xiaoxiao floated beside Qingli and watched as Sect Leader Wuliang covered his chest.
Qing Li had already sprinkled secret medicine into the cold lake spring in the cave. To ensure the process was foolproof, she divided the soft powder that could soften a person's ability to move into two parts, and even absorbed part of the medicinal power into her own blood.
What's even more ridiculous is that
This is a vile drug with miraculous effects, specially used for assassinations, and is Mu Qing's private collection.
I have to say, the effect is really good.
Qing Li chuckled and said nothing more. He summoned the Lin Ling Sword and stabbed it fiercely at the Wuliang Sect Leader. The Wuliang Sect Leader had no spiritual support, but his abilities were far more than that. He dodged Qing Li's attack extremely quickly and even slapped her away with his backhand.
But due to his anger and Qing Li's rather desperate fighting style, Sect Leader Wu Liang gradually felt powerless. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He gathered all his strength and suddenly exploded. The powerful airflow shattered the stone wall and knocked Qing Li away.
"Bitch! I won't let you go!"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the old man who was saying harsh words but running away, sneered softly, and floated in front of Qingli with a worried look on her face.
[Master fell hard, it must be painful...]
Qing Li coughed up a mouthful of blood, brushed off the rubble that was weighing down his body, and looked in the direction where Sect Leader Wuliang had left. He didn't feel any worry, but instead chuckled softly, "Run quickly! Your death is waiting for you."
…
A somewhat embarrassed figure flew across the sky.
Sect Leader Wuliang gritted his teeth, the anger in his eyes seemed to encompass everything.
"Master!"
He heard a sound behind him, and he hit the man with his palm, knocking him away.
With a loud bang, the man crashed into the mountain wall, leaving a huge dent.
"Ahem! Sect Leader..."
The Wuliang Sect Leader felt the voice was familiar, so he stopped and flew over. Seeing the person coming, he said with some helplessness, "It's you."
