Chapter 60: The Witch's Intelligence
Li Yu didn't have to wait long before a familiar voice came from the Lingbei.
"What's up?"
The witch's voice sounded a little lazy, and I didn't know if she had just woken up.
Li Yu asked: "Miss, does our Xuanyin Sect have any undercover agents in the Soul Refining Sect, the Puppet Sect, and the Five Poison Sect?"
Opposite Lingbei, the demon girl was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Li Yu said honestly: "You can only buy three Tongmai Pills from Kunlun Sect per month. I want to take on some missions. People from the Soul Refining Sect, the Puppet Sect, and the Five Poison Sect have killed many Kunlun disciples. If I can kill them, I can get a lot of Tongmai Pills as rewards, and also improve my status in Kunlun..."
The demon girl was a little surprised and asked, "Why can I only buy three Kunlun Tongmai Pills per month?"
Her focus was strange, so Li Yu had no choice but to say, "Before, there was a guy who relied on his large amount of spirit coins to buy dozens of Tongmai Pills at a time, making it impossible for other disciples to buy them. He was very dissatisfied and reported it to the sect, and then the sect limited the number of Tongmai Pills that could be purchased..."
After saying that, he asked tentatively: "They are all disciples of the Demonic Path. If I kill them, the sect will not blame me, right?"
The demon girl said nonchalantly: "It's okay to kill a few ordinary disciples. None of the disciples from the Soul Refining Sect, the Puppet Sect, and the Five Poison Sect are good..."
It seems that the internal strife among the demon sects is very serious. Li Yu was completely relieved and said, "But I don't know their whereabouts..."
The demon girl said directly: "Who do you want to kill? I'll have someone check for you and tell you when I find out."
After she said that, it seemed that this matter had a chance. Li Yu was delighted and said, "Thank you, young lady. They are Zhou Tian from the Soul Refining Sect, Liu Feng from the Five Poison Sect, and Zhao Long from the Puppet Sect..."
Three days later.
At the gate of Villa No. 69 on Ziyun Peak, Li Yu was holding a little white tiger in his arms and playing mahjong with a few old neighbors. Zhou Zixuan moved a small stool and sat beside Li Yu, watching.
At a certain moment, Li Yu's expression suddenly changed. He handed the little white tiger to Zhou Zixuan and said, "Help me fight for a while. I'll be back soon."
Li Yu stood up and quickly left Ziyun Peak and exited Kunlun Cave Heaven.
Not long after, somewhere in the mountains far away from Kunlun Cave Heaven, Li Yu took out the spirit shell and injected magic power into it, and soon the voice of the witch was heard from inside.
"Zhou Tian from the Soul Refining Sect has not returned to the Sect for a long time, and his exact whereabouts are unknown. Liu Feng from the Five Poison Sect has been staying in the Sect for the past few months without going out. Zhao Long from the Puppet Sect is now in Tongzhou, Wu State, and seems to be planning something..."
Li Yu said: "I understand, thank you young lady."
Across from Ling Bei, the demon girl reminded him, "Zhao Long has the strength of the seventh level of Qi Refining, and there are two spirit corpses around the sixth level of Qi Refining beside him. You should be careful."
To be honest, the witch was really nice to him. After Li Yu thanked her again, he hunted some wild game in the mountains and returned to Kunlun.
Li Yu has already finished refining the pills for this month and gave all the pills ordered by others to Zhou Zixuan, so that even if he is not in the sect, his business will not be delayed.
Afterwards, he went to Tianzhu Peak and took on several missions from the Wu Kingdom.
Among them, two tasks are about eliminating demons, and one is related to zombies.
It is not easy for disciples in the Qi Refining Stage to go down the mountain and return to the mountain. It often takes several days or even longer, so they will not take only one task at a time. After determining the main task, they will also take on a few nearby tasks.
With the flying boat in hand, Li Yu's speed was several times that of a Qi Refining disciple flying in the air. In less than half a day, he had reached Tongzhou of Wu State.
While it was still light, Li Yu went to deal with the two monsters causing trouble.
It is called a monster, but in fact it is just a wild beast that has absorbed spiritual energy and become intelligent. Its strength is even weaker than that of the little white tiger. It often attacks the poultry and livestock raised by the people at night, and occasionally attacks passers-by.
This newly civilized monster does not have a very high level of intelligence, but it is extremely strong and has a very strong defense, and is not something that ordinary people can deal with .
In places where they often appeared, Li Yu followed the traces and soon found the target. One was a giant python about ten feet long, and the other was a black bear. Li Yu saw undigested human bones around their nests.
There was no need to show mercy to these things that had already harmed people. Li Yu sent them off with two fireballs.
After dark, he arrived outside Tongzhou City, in a forest shrouded in thick fog.
According to the people living nearby, this was originally a mass grave but was later abandoned. In recent days, corpses have been crawling out of the graves, scaring the woodcutters and passers-by. After reporting the matter to the government, the government immediately contacted the Kunlun Sect.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and if a corpse is seen crawling out of a grave, it is either caused by ghosts or the corpse has turned into a spirit.
The harm caused by the former is relatively smaller. Ghosts control corpses, and their movements are quite inconvenient. At most, they can only scare people. It will be much more troublesome if the corpse turns into a spirit. Ghosts still have humanity, but zombies are completely bloodthirsty monsters. Before they have sucked enough blood, they will kill people and animals wherever they go.
Li Yu did not think that the zombies here were ordinary corpses transformed into spirits.
After all, he had obtained accurate information from the witch that the cruel and ruthless disciple of the Puppet Sect was in Tongzhou at this moment, and the Puppet Sect was famous for digging graves and refining corpses.
This is probably unlikely to be a coincidence.
These evil disciples are all insidious and cunning. They love to set traps and ambush the righteous disciples. Li Yu has been tricked by them more than once.
Fortunately, he is no longer a rookie in Baiyun Temple today. Not to mention the mere seventh level of Qi Refining, even an old monster in the late Foundation Establishment stage cannot withstand three high-level talismans.
Li Yu released his spiritual sense and stepped into the woods.
The soul power in the Qi Refining period is not strong. The range that can be sensed by the ninth level of Qi Refining is only three meters around the body. However, Li Yu's soul is extremely powerful, and the magic power in his body far exceeds that of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He can probably sense everything within nearly ten meters.
At this distance, he would have enough time to react no matter what danger he encountered.
The fog in the woods was very thick, and the view was only about three meters away. Li Yu walked slowly along the path in the forest. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked towards somewhere in the west.
Although the fog obscured his vision, Li Yu seemed to have heard a faint strange noise coming from there.
At this moment, he was several miles away from Li Yu.
The three girls stood back to back, tightly together, looking warily at the three figures in the mist ahead.
They traveled to Tongzhou of Wu State and accidentally heard that there were zombies causing trouble there. As disciples of the righteous path, they wanted to eradicate them and bring peace to the people. However, they did not expect that these three people suddenly appeared after they killed several zombies together.
After careful identification, it was discovered that there were not three people at all, but two corpses of one person.
The man in the middle was thin, with narrow eyes, and he was obviously not a good person. On his left and right stood two figures, a man and a woman, with pale and bloodless faces and lifeless eyes. They were obviously two spirit corpses.
What made them even more angry was that the two corpses had a small sword symbol on the chest of their clothes.
These are the senior brothers and sisters from the Shushan School!
"You are from the Puppet Sect!"
Although they were not disciples of Shushan Sect, all righteous disciples were one family. Seeing their senior brothers and sisters from Shushan Sect being refined into spirit corpses, the three girls could no longer conceal their anger. At the same time, they raised their swords, infused them with magic power, and killed the disciple of the Puppet Sect of the Demonic Path.
However, before they could get close, the two corpses blocked their way, one in front and one behind, and their ten fingers were like knives, stabbing at their chests.
clang!
The purple-black nails collided with their swords, making a sound of metal clashing. The two corpses did not move at all, but the three girls took several steps back.
The body of the spirit corpse had been refined and was as strong as a wall of iron and steel. It was also extremely powerful and fast, and its strength was comparable to that of a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator. The three girls suffered a small loss as soon as they fought. Before they could catch their breath, two spirit corpses came to kill them again.
All that could be heard was the sound of metal clashing against metal, and the three girls were forced to retreat again and again under the pressure of the two corpses.
The strength of the three of them was all at the fifth level of Qi Refining. It was already a struggle for them to deal with the two spirit corpses when they attacked together. Fortunately, the Emei disciples practiced both immortal martial arts. If it were disciples from other sects who were only good at magic, they would probably have been killed by the two spirit corpses.
"ah!"
At this moment, one of the three girls was accidentally scratched by the female corpse's nails and cried out in pain. The wound on her wrist quickly turned blue-black, and a trace of black air lingered...
The corpse poison of the sixth level of Qi Refining is very serious. She immediately used her magic power to fight against the corpse poison and prevent it from spreading further, but she could only temporarily withdraw from the battle.
It was already a struggle for three people to fight against two corpses, and now one of them was missing, the other two girls were immediately completely suppressed. Soon, one of the girls had her arm scratched and another was stabbed in the shoulder. Wisps of black air were faintly visible on their pretty faces. The three of them fell to the ground at the same time, unable to move.
The two spirit corpses stopped attacking temporarily. The thin man looked at the three girls with identical appearances from a distance. With a hint of surprise in his tone, he said, "Although I didn't attract the alchemist from Kunlun Sect, the triplets from Emei Sect are here, which is worth my efforts. Don't worry, I will love you well before I refine you into spirit corpses..."
The faces of the three girls were extremely pale, half because of the spread of the corpse poison and half because of fear.
Thinking of falling into the hands of the Puppet Sect disciples, not only would she be humiliated but she would also be refined into a spirit corpse. One young girl was so scared that she started crying.
The other girl gritted her teeth and said, "Don't cry, don't let the people of the Demonic Path laugh at you!"
Hearing her sister's scolding, the girl bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes but not falling.
Zhao Long from the Puppet Sect looked at them and sneered, "Such beautiful triplets are rare. The old guys in the sect like you very much. After refining you into spirit corpses, you will definitely be able to sell for a good price..."
After saying that, he walked towards them step by step.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Two thick vines suddenly grew out of the ground under his feet and bound his feet.
Zhao Long just exerted a little force and broke free from the vines. The power of this vine technique was only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. He had only felt a fluctuation of magic power at the third level of Qi Refining just now.
He sneered and said disdainfully: "You are only at the third level of Qi Refining, and you dare to..."
Before he finished his words, a sword flashed towards him.
Zhao Long was about to resist, but when he felt the sharpness of the sword, his face changed drastically, but he had no time to dodge.
Just when the sword light touched his body, a golden light flashed on Zhao Long's body, forming a shield that barely blocked the cut. The shield shattered instantly, the sword light fell to the ground, and a deep groove several feet long was cut out on the ground.
The life-saving talisman was gone. Zhao Long looked at the deep ravine with a dull expression for a moment - was this really the third level of Qi Refining?
