Chapter 150: Betrayal and Being Betrayed
Just when his claws were about to touch Xuan Shi, Han Hao suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and he flew back without thinking.
At the place where he retreated, a somewhat pale palm waved past, and seeing that it did not hit Han Hao, a neutral voice sounded in surprise.
"Hey, the reaction is quite fast."
As the voice appeared, a gray-robed man slowly emerged in the air. Looking at Han Hao who was retreating very far and full of vigilance, the only pair of eyes exposed on the gray-robed man's blurred face flashed a hint of playfulness.
"Haha, the people of the Law Enforcement Hall are really well-deserved. You are Han Hao, right?"
Han Hao was shocked when he saw the gray-robed man reveal his identity, but his face did not show any expression.
"Who are you?"
"Little guy, although we are not in the same way, my cultivation is far higher than yours. You should respectfully call me a senior." The gray-robed man laughed and avoided answering.
Han Hao sneered when he heard the words.
"People with different ideologies cannot work together. You are the evildoers who cholera my Taixukong. Why should I respect you as a senior?"
The gray-robed man shook his head helplessly and looked at Han Hao with pity.
"People's hearts are not the same as they used to be. Young people nowadays are so unreasonable. Forget it. I wanted to spare your life, but since you are like this, I can only teach you on behalf of your master what it means to be a master who is wise and what it means to respect the elders and the younger ones. Remember it well in your heart. Don't make the same mistake again in your next life, so as not to waste your life."
After speaking, he slapped out another palm. The seemingly ordinary palm without any power made Han Hao's face change drastically.
"Daotai! No, transcend the tribulation!"
With a scream, Han Hao retreated again, but saw that the palm seemed to be constantly extending and growing, chasing him closely, making it impossible for him to dodge.
Seeing a palm coming at him, Han Hao was filled with despair and could only close his eyes and wait for death. At this moment, a sharp sword light broke out from the void and slashed heavily on the palm of the gray-robed man. Not only did it break in an instant, but it also kept slashing at the gray-robed man all the way.
The gray-robed man's face condensed, and he rolled up his sleeves and flew back with Xuan Shi and Li Chuyi, but saw the sword light chasing him closely, getting closer and closer.
"Hmph!"
The gray-robed man snorted coldly, pulled out a dust and drew it towards the sword light.
After a loud bang, the sword light finally dissipated, and the gray-robed man flew backwards, flying a long way before he could stop retreating, and a trace of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the source of the sword light with a serious face, and when he saw the person who walked out of the void clearly, the gray-robed man couldn't help but scream.
"Ye Zhichen!"
The person who came was Ye Zhichen.
He was seen holding a long sword and wearing a coarse linen shirt. He looked like a down-and-out swordsman, but the powerful aura he exuded, belonging to the ascending period, would scare anyone and dare not underestimate him.
First, he looked at Han Hao behind him. Seeing that the latter was fine, Ye Zhichen turned his head and looked at the gray-robed man with a cold face.
"Show me your face, you coward!"
He swung another sword, and the sword energy that seemed to be substantial instantly came in front of the gray-robed man. He was so frightened that he only had time to turn his head and turn aside, and then he barely avoided the sword energy. Although he was not injured, the mist on his face that covered his true appearance had disappeared.
Looking at the handsome face of the gray-robed man who looked slightly old, Ye Zhichen nodded expressionlessly.
"Leng Qiuning! Good, very good!"
And Han Hao looked at the gray-robed man with a look of astonishment and disbelief.
"Elder Leng, how could it be you!"
He couldn't help but be astonished.
Who is Leng Qiuning?
He is the foreign affairs elder of the Lingxiao main peak of Taixu Palace. With his tribulation-crossing cultivation, he is only one step away from the Ascension stage. He is quite prestigious in Taixu Palace and can be said to be an absolute insider.
On weekdays, many of Lingxiao Peak’s contact activities and external affairs are hosted and communicated by him, and many old people in Taixu Palace are quite familiar with him. Who would have thought that he, who is usually humble and approachable, is actually a spy arranged by Dayan in Taixu Palace!
Even the foreign affairs elder of Lingxiao Peak, who is an insider among insiders, is a spy of Dayan. The more Han Hao thinks about this, the more he shudders.
How deep is Dayan’s infiltration in Taixu Palace?
Seeing that his face was exposed, Leng Qiuning simply stopped hiding and changed back to his usual voice and smiled coldly.
"Ye Zhichen, didn't expect it? Are you surprised?"
"Do you think I look surprised?" Ye Zhichen was unmoved and still looked at him expressionlessly.
Leng Qiuning paused slightly, and then smiled. Looking at Ye Zhichen, and then at Li Chuyi, he seemed to be thinking about something, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.
"I arranged many chess pieces to disrupt the line of sight. Logically, you shouldn't have come so quickly. But you happened to appear here now. Combined with the information I got, this kid should be the one we are looking for!"
Looking at Ye Zhichen with a firm face, Leng Qiuning shook his head gently and smiled even more happily.
"I didn't expect that after searching everywhere, I could not find the one I was looking for. The kid I just had a little suspicion of was actually the one we were looking for. God bless my Dayan Dynasty, hahahahahaha!"
Looking at the laughing Leng Qiuning expressionlessly, Ye Zhichen said coldly: "Are you done?"
As soon as the laughter stopped, Leng Qiuning grabbed Li Chuyi and brought him in front of him with a grim smile on his face.
"I can't beat you, but I have him in my hands. If you dare to move, I will kill him!"
"You talk too much nonsense!" Ye Zhichen snorted coldly, "If you are done, you can go to hell."
After saying that, without waiting for Leng Qiuning to speak again, Ye Zhichen moved and came to him in an instant.
"You dare to do it?!"
Leng Qiuning was shocked. She didn't expect that Ye Zhichen would hit Li Chuyi as soon as he asked, as if he didn't care about Li Chuyi's life or death, and hurriedly blocked Li Chuyi in front of him.
But Ye Zhichen remained unmoved, and struck with his sword without changing its momentum, seemingly trying to penetrate Li Chuyi and him.
"Isn't it this little brat?"
Leng Qiuning suspected that he had guessed wrong, and when he saw Ye Zhichen attacking with his sword without hesitation, his expression turned grim.
"It doesn't matter to you, it's your Taixu Palace. If you die, you will die! Boy, remember, it's not me who kills you, but your Taixu Palace!"
Amidst the ferocious laughter, Leng Qiuning pushed Li Chuyi forward and used it as a shield to block the incoming sword.
The two intersected in an instant, and Ye Zhichen's sword was seen penetrating into Li Chuyi's body, but strangely there was no flash of blood, but it suddenly protruded from Li Chuyi's back in Leng Qiuning's horrified eyes, Stab straight at him.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this!"
Leng Qiuning was horrified and hurriedly let go and flew away, but Ye Zhichen's sword was too fast. Although he reacted in time, he was still hit. The body-protecting energy in the hit area was instantly broken, and a bloody mouth suddenly appeared.
With a muffled groan, Leng Qiuning was about to pull away, but suddenly found that Ye Zhichen did not follow him, but stretched out his hand to stop Li Chuyi in an attempt to rescue him.
"That brat is the real owner!"
Leng Qiuning was shocked.
Although he didn't understand what happened with Ye Zhichen's sword, he knew the opponent's name as the "Ruthless Sword Master". Ye Zhichen never looks forward or backward when taking action. Even if his fellow disciple is about to die, as long as his opponent is alive, he will not give up the pursuit and rescue him.
At this time, he actually gave up chasing him for the sake of a small Danjie disciple. Leng Qiuning immediately knew that he had guessed right. This little kid who didn't know whether he was alive or dead was exactly the person they were looking for.
Seeing that Ye Zhichen was about to catch Li Chuyi, Leng Qiuning gritted his teeth and swept the whisk towards Li Chuyi again, not to rob him, but to kill him.
If Ye Zhichen didn't stop him, even if Li Chuyi was caught in his hand, he would be swept into a ball of flesh by Fu Chen the moment he was caught.
He was betting that Ye Zhichen would turn around and rescue him. As long as he could delay Ye Zhichen for a moment, he would have a way to snatch Li Chuyi back.
He won the bet.
As expected, Ye Zhichen swept forward with his sword, and although his other hand grabbed Li Chuyi unchanged, the change in his body shape when he drew out the sword still made the grabbing speed a little faster.
Leng Qiuning was overjoyed and randomly shot it out of thin air.
"Tenra Hands!"
An irresistible suction force suddenly appeared in the outstretched palm, and it instantly stuck to Li Chuyi and pulled him towards him. Ye Zhichen's hand slowed down slightly, and he only had time to grab a corner of Li Chuyi's clothes.
Amidst the sound of cloth tearing, Ye Zhichen angrily grabbed a piece of clothing and watched helplessly as Li Chuyi was caught again by Leng Qiuning.
"Tian Luoshou, you are from the Dayan Leng family!"
Seeing that her true identity was recognized by Ye Zhichen, Leng Qiuning grabbed Li Chuyi and flew away while laughing proudly.
"Haha, Ye Zhichen, so what if you guessed it, he is still in my hands!"
"asshole!"
Ye Zhichen cursed angrily, raised his sword and flew to follow, the murderous aura in his body seemed to be real.
Leng Qiuning didn't panic, took out two pills from his arms and threw them forward.
"Try my Yin Lei Dan!"
The pill exploded, and streaks of dim black lightning emerged, forming a dense electrical grid between the two.
Ye Zhichen's expression changed, and he hurriedly flew a little bit.
This Yin Lei Pill was specially made by the Dayan Dynasty. The Yin Thunder formed after exploding was extremely powerful, even if his cultivation level was not good enough, he would be injured.
Seeing Leng Qiuning take the opportunity to distance himself a lot, Ye Zhichen glared and slashed with his sword.
"Break it for me!"
The sword light flashed, and a passage was separated from the minefield. Several spatial cracks were looming in it, showing the power of his sword.
Ignoring the space cracks that ordinary monks avoid like snakes and scorpions, Ye Zhichen passed through the passage and chased Leng Qiuning.
At this time, Leng Qiuning had already arrived at Xuan Shi's side. Just after he rescued Xuan Shi, the latter retreated far away. Twenty-three and twenty-five who followed him worked together to turn the void path with all their strength. At this time Now that the location is complete, a circular portal like water waves floats on the void path.
"Walk!"
Leng Qiuning gave a low shout and stepped into the door first, followed by more than a dozen people from Xuan Dynasty.
Just when half of his body entered the portal, he suddenly turned back and looked at Xuan Shi who was in a daze with a smile on his face.
"If you like Taixu Palace so much, please stay."
After saying that, he ignored Xuan Shi, whose face changed wildly, and winked at Twenty-Three and Twenty-Five before carrying Li Chuyi into the door.
"Xuan Shi, I'm sorry."
Twenty-three was a little apologetic, stretched out his hand to crush a pill in front of Xuan Shi, and then followed Twenty-five into the void portal without looking.
Xuan Shi watched helplessly as the pill shattered, and a vague aura appeared. He felt the buzz of insects within his body, and he had a sad smile on his face.
"Haha, Dayan, my fate!"
The sound of insects became louder and louder, waves surged under his skin, and bulges appeared one after another. As soon as they appeared, they grew larger and then burst, and small black insects flew out from inside.
After the bug flew out, it did not leave. Instead, it found a piece of intact skin and dug into the flesh again. This was repeated, and within a few breaths, Xuan Shi no longer looked human.
Feeling the pain of his dantian being eaten away bit by bit, Xuan Shi turned his head vigorously and looked in the direction of Feixue Peak. He seemed to see a beautiful figure looking at him from afar. His twisted face tried hard to maintain a smile, as if responding to the figure who was not sure whether it existed or not.
The familiar sweet smile seemed to ring in his ears again. Xuan Shi felt calm in his heart and welcomed the arrival of death.
