Chapter 284: Diverting the Trouble to the East
"Something happened?"
Li Rui frowned even more, but still listened to Xu Chuan's words patiently.
Xu Chuan swallowed the bloody taste in his throat and explained: "This time, I was ordered by Lord Yuan to track down the news of the Black and White Demons. I didn't expect that I would be ambushed and killed by the Black and White Demons on the way."
"I was seriously injured and bumped around in the mountains. I accidentally came to Qinghe. That's when I thought of asking Brother Li for help."
Black and White Demons!
Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.
Of course, he had heard of the name of the Black and White Demons. They were two notorious masters of the Innate Realm. Moreover, because they were twins, they practiced a very sophisticated combination of skills, which was not something that ordinary people could compete with.
Xu Chuan was quite capable. He could survive the Black and White Demons for so long.
"Brother Xu is really capable. He can survive the Black and White Demons."
Xu Chuan's face was even more bitter:
"It was because of the life-saving talismans given by the master that I could barely hold on until I saw my brother."
When Li Rui heard about the talismans, he was immediately envious.
In order to ensure that the disciples of these major sects can grow up smoothly, the elders will give some means of life-saving. The most common type is talismans, which are simple to cast and far more powerful than the talismans themselves. Some more important disciples even have protectors.
With the talismans, it is indeed possible to fight against the Black and White Demons for a while.
Li Rui's heart sank immediately.
With the style of the Black and White Demons, it is very likely that they have sneaked into Qinghe City. Once they find him here, the consequences will be disastrous.
Xu Chuan threw him a hot potato.
Seeing that Li Rui did not take any action for a long time.
Xu Chuan's words became colder, with a hint of threat: "Lord Li, this is what Lord Yuan told you to do. How dare you go against the Lord's will?"
Li Rui's expression did not change at all, but he asked himself:
"Brother Xu, does anyone else know that you came to Qinghe?"
Xu Chuan was stunned, not understanding why Li Rui said that.
Although he was anxious.
But he still had to rely on Li Rui to stop the black and white evil spirits, so he patiently answered: "The incident happened suddenly, and no one except the black and white evil spirits should know."
Li Rui nodded: "What about the Lord?"
"Of course I don't know."
"That's good."
"That's good?"
Hearing Li Rui's words, Xu Chuan was even more stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of Li Rui's words for a while. He looked out the window and urged anxiously:
"Brother Li, it will be too late if you don't take action now!"
"Okay."
Li Rui nodded, raised his big hand and fell on Xu Chuan's head.
Xu Chuan: "???"
In a trance.
He actually saw a shadow of the Immortal Palace shrouding Li Rui's palm, and the terrifying power of the Immortal Palace almost made him unable to stand firm.
Xu Chuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
'What kind of method is this! '
The thought just came up.
The pupils gradually became dilated, and finally became completely empty.
Raise your hand to suppress!
Li Rui looked at Xu Chuan's body, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had already come to the secret room.
Diverting trouble to others?
Just relying on your young seedling, you can also fool me, an old man.
That's right, he killed Xu Chuan.
The Immortal Palace suppressed him directly when he made a move. Not to mention that Xu Chuan was seriously injured now, even if he was in his prime, it would be a matter of a slap.
This point.
He has tested it many times on Zhuang Renhe, Yuan Gao, and Qi Rui.
He has rich experience in actual combat samples.
If the Black and White Evils break into An Ningwei, no one can stop them.
Maybe in the end, those fourth-rank masters of Qinghe will join forces to kill the Black and White Evils, but he will most likely be implicated and killed by Xu Chuan.
And Xu Chuan has ulterior motives.
It is true that Xu Chuan was ordered to go to Wuguo, and it is also true that he was tracking down the Black and White Evils.
But it is very problematic that he suddenly broke into his house today.
Maybe Xu Chuan didn't know.
Just after he arrived in Wubei City and met Dao Mo, Dao Mo had sent someone to tell Li Rui everything about Xu Chuan in a secret letter.
He even sent an urgent letter the day before yesterday.
Xu Chuan ran out of Wubei City by himself, and then there was no news.
He was ordered by Lord Yuan to track down the wanted criminals of the court, which were all official business.
Just wait for Wuguo to help investigate.
There is no need to risk your life.
Unless there is a secret that cannot be told.
Either it is Lord Yuan's secret, or it is Xu Chuan's own secret.
That's why Li Rui first asked if anyone else knew, and then asked if Lord Yuan knew, just to confirm whose business it was.
Since it was Xu Chuan's business.
Then Xu Chuan must die.
This guy is harboring evil intentions. He caused trouble himself, and he wanted to drag him down with him.
No way!
He, Li Rui, is not someone who will be used as a gun by others.
"It should be here."
With the existence of spiritual eyes, Li Rui's efficiency in searching corpses is terrifying. In a few seconds, he turned out all the valuable things on Xu Chuan's body.
Xu Chuan is indeed a disciple of a big sect.
There are so many treasures on his body. In addition to elixirs, there are also a lot of talismans.
No wonder he said that he relied on talismans to escape the pursuit of the black and white evil spirits.
Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stuffed all these things back into Xu Chuan's body as they were.
Only a piece of jade the size of a palm was left.
"This is."
While Li Rui was thinking, lines of small words appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of becoming an immortal and becoming an ancestor - checking the spiritual roots. ]
[Spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivating immortals. As a casual cultivator, you finally got a spiritual root stone by chance. Please determine your spiritual roots as soon as possible and start the road of cultivating immortals. ]
[Complete the task of checking spiritual roots, rewards are being calculated]
[Task score C. ]
[Obtain 20 achievement points! ]
[Name: Li Rui]
[Age: 10]
[Talent: Wu Gu, Superb Comprehension, Wisdom Eyes, Dreaming of Immortals, Defeat Demons and Win]
[Kung Fu: Chang Chun Gong, Dragon Wandering in the Nine Skies, Dragon Elephant True Yuan Jin]
[Achievement: 80/100]
Li Rui's pupils shrank sharply and his mouth widened slightly.
You can see it from the shape of his mouth.
It's a big "fuck".
Friends who have cultivated immortals know that the first step of cultivating immortals is to check the spiritual roots.
He thought that Xu Chuan must have got some extraordinary treasure, so he was hunted by the black and white demons.
Otherwise, the Black and White Devils would have no reason to kill Xu Chuan halfway.
But he never expected that Xu Chuan actually took the Spirit Test Stone.
The Spirit Test Stone, as the name suggests, is a stone for testing spiritual roots.
Li Rui's eyes suddenly became hot.
This thing had been extinct since ancient times.
'Just drop the blood from your fingertips on the Spirit Test Stone to test the spiritual roots. '
He recalled the method of use he had seen in ancient books before.
Gritted his teeth.
He bit his fingertips, and a drop of blood fell on the Spirit Test Stone.
Then——
The Spirit Test Stone, which had been silent for countless years, was finally activated again, and it burst into brilliant golden light. Fortunately, it was in a secret room, otherwise it would be noticed by others.
Soon.
The light of the Spirit Test Stone gradually dissipated, and finally two faint white marks appeared on the jade.
Li Rui: '.'
As expected.
A medium-grade spiritual root.
One white mark is a low-grade spiritual root, two white marks are medium-grade spiritual roots, and three are high-grade spiritual roots. As for the three marks, that is the legendary Dao body, which exists only once in a thousand years even when the ancient spiritual energy was sufficient.
‘Not bad. ’
Li Rui’s mouth corners slightly raised.
You know, this world is cut off from spiritual energy. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it is already quite remarkable to be able to reach the middle-grade spiritual root.
Just as Li Rui was thinking.
The white mark on the spiritual root stone slowly disappeared, and finally returned to its original appearance.
Li Rui squatted down.

Then put the spirit stone into Xu Chuan’s arms, carried his body and disappeared into the secret room and dark passage.
Outside Qinghe City, in the mountains and forests beside the official road.
Two eight-foot-tall people, one in black and one in white, wearing tall hats, stood quietly.
If there were mountain people passing by at this time, they would definitely be scared to death.
This is exactly the appearance of the Black and White Impermanence in the rumors.
"Did that kid enter Qinghe City?"
Bai Sha spoke slowly.
"It should be."
Hei Sha's eyes were gloomy.
They chased Xu Chuan all the way from the border of Wu Kingdom to Qinghe. Xu Chuan threw talismans like he didn't care about money, which made them unable to succeed.
They were about to catch him.
He actually ran into Qinghe.
He was furious when he talked about it.
They originally followed the order of the Immortal Venerable and went south to the Ten Thousand Mountains of Wu Kingdom to find what the Immortal Venerable wanted. As a result, they didn't expect that the kid from Yu Kingdom had a high-level talisman that could hide his body. The two of them were careless for a while, and Xu Chuan actually succeeded.
The two were furious, so they chased Xu Chuan for thousands of miles to Qinghe.
If it was any other city, they would just go in and slaughter the city together.
Dare to take the things of the Immortal Venerable, this is the price.
But Qinghe is different. There are many fourth-grade warriors in Qinghe.
Both of their names are on the bounty notice of Yu State. If they are killed, the whole sect will benefit.
If they are besieged, it will be troublesome.
Heisha's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth: "No, the things of the Immortal Venerable must be taken back. We should go in and come out quickly. It seems that we are heading to Anningwei. There are no innate warriors there. If we can't beat them, we will kill them all!"
Baisha nodded.
Just as the two were about to leave.
Suddenly, something flew over.
Bang!
It fell heavily to the ground.
"Who is it?!"
Both of them were shocked. Baisha was about to rush up to chase and kill, but was stopped by Heisha.
"Is it that kid?"
Baisha stopped rushing forward, turned his head, and saw that it was Xu Chuan's body that flew out just now!
Xu Chuan appeared in front of them like this.
Heisha flashed, and instantly came to Xu Chuan's body.
He squatted down and groped for a while.
He took it out.
His face was overjoyed, and the spirit stone appeared in his hand. Heisha breathed a sigh of relief: "The thing is still there."
Baisha was also overjoyed when he saw the stone in Heisha's hand.
Although they didn't know what the stone was used for, since it was something the Immortal wanted, it must be extraordinary.
Heisha stood up slowly:
"Brother in the dark, thank you."
Then he disappeared into the depths of the forest.
An hour later.
Heisha and Baisha returned and appeared in the same place again.
"Very cautious."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Heisha's eyes. Everything just now was just for the people in the dark.
They left, but they didn't leave completely.
Instead, they hid in the dark and kept observing.
The man killed Xu Chuan, but they would not be grateful at all. On the contrary, if possible, they would kill that man as well.
Bai Sha is thoughtful:
"It seems that this pretty boy has quite a lot of enemies."
Heisha's eyes flickered, and after a long time he slowly spoke: "Let's go, it's more important to take care of the Immortal Lord's affairs first."
"Um."
Bai Sha nodded.
That person was too shady, or hidden too deeply, and couldn't be found in a short time. As for Xu Chuan, even if he wasn't there, they would still kill him, so they would take the blame.
It's just that taking the blame for someone else for no apparent reason doesn't fit with their black-and-white temperament.
That's why it happened.
Finished.
The two of them disappeared into the night again.
Until dawn.
A piece of ground covered with dead leaves shook slightly, and Li Rui slowly climbed up, shaking off the dirt.
good.
Last night he carried Xu Chuan's body from the secret passage to the outside of the city.
There is no one in the forest at night.
In addition, he has a pair of spiritual eyes, and the black and white demons are like beacons, and they can be found quickly.
After throwing out Xu Chuan's body.
He buried himself in the ground, well, he buried himself alive. With Changchun Kung by his side, as long as there was a trace of air, he would be able to sustain himself for a long time.
It turns out.
Done right.
The black evil spirits and the white evil spirits were cunning, so they came and ran back and forth four times before leaving completely.
The corners of Li Rui's mouth raised slightly.
It's over.
If the Black and White Evils force their way into Anning Guard, they will be punished at least, or lose their lives at worst. If you want to prevent the Black and White Evils from entering the city to kill people, the best way is to throw the culprit Xu Chuan out.
For the sake of his life, Xu Chuan could only be wronged.
In fact, if Xu Chuan hadn't harbored evil intentions, Li Rui might have thought of a solution. However, Xu Chuan clearly wanted to divert trouble away, so no wonder Li Rui was ruthless.
And with Xu Chuan's temperament, even if he saved him, he would never be grateful.
Even after it was safe, he would still be suspicious, thinking that Li Rui knew about his acquisition of the treasure, and thus deal with Li Rui secretly.
This is not persecution paranoia.
When there is danger, maybe not, but when it is safe, it will be possible.
Xu Chuan went to deal with Lord Yuan's affairs, but ended up ruining the matter for his own personal gain. If Li Rui reported it, he would definitely suffer disaster, so of course he would choose to deal with Li Rui.
Instead of waiting for Xu Chuan to retaliate afterwards, it would be better to strike preemptively.
Once and for all.
No one knew anyway, and it was not like the Black and White Shuangsha rushed to find Mr. Yuan or Guiyun Sect to explain.
The result hasn't changed, it's just that there's an extra intermediate step.
The sky is bright.
People in Qinghe City walked out of their houses one after another and started their busy day. No one knew that while they were sleeping soundly last night, the black and white evil spirits were almost about to enter the city.
The Anning Guard was also peaceful, with soldiers trotting towards the dining hall in small groups.
In Li's house.
When Wang Zhao finished cooking the meat porridge, Li Rui was already dressed and walked out of the room.
Stretched.
It was as if nothing happened yesterday.
Looking at the warm sun, Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Another great day."
Wang Zhao saw Li Rui going out and greeted with a bright smile: "Master, it's time to eat porridge."
Li Rui laughed:
"Come on."
