Chapter 572: Retreat to Advance
Liu Suyi looked at the three-legged tripod in her hand over and over again.
"This... this is just an antique!" Liu Suyi turned the three-legged tripod with her jade hand slightly, and then she opened her red lips and said calmly: "The spiritual materials used are not bad. It seems to be the legendary eighth-level spiritual materials, the Galaxy Star Sand and the Sky Meteorite Fire Spirit Crystal! But the age of this thing is too old, so old that it has sunk from a powerful artifact to a complete antique! An antique, no matter how rare and precious its materials are, is just an antique!"
Liu Suyi repeatedly emphasized "antiques" because the value of antiques is simply worthless, unless it is for some monks who have a special hobby of collecting antiques!
Jin Weishu's face changed slightly when he heard this. He never thought that the three-legged tripod was just an antique with excellent materials. How could he justify himself?
At this time, Xiao Mian told everything about yesterday.
Although Liu Suyi was invited by Jin Weishu, Xiao Mian used the name of Zhishan Sect to provoke her at the beginning. Besides, Liu Suyi and Jin Weishu were just nodding acquaintances in the past. Jin Weishu also met Liu Suyi in a panic, so he wanted to use Liu Suyi to kill Xiao Mian. At most, he would spend some spiritual stones, and he could take the opportunity to get closer to Liu Suyi and even Zhishan Sect.
Unexpectedly, Jin Weishu's calculations were very sophisticated, but there was no God to take care of him. When Liu Suyi saw Xiao Mian, she planned to abandon Jin Weishu and others.
The more she listened, the gloomier Liu Suyi's face became.
"Miss Liu! Fairy Liu! You... you listen to me! It's not like that!"
"What happened in Xinglong Lane yesterday was not only witnessed by those present. It's only been a day, and I think those who watched at the time should still remember it clearly. We can go back to Xinglong Lane now and confront each other face to face to get to the bottom of it!"
"You!"
"This fellow Daoist Jin Weishu? Actually! There is no grudge between us. What happened yesterday was that I accidentally broke the broken mirror, but it's no wonder that you took the opportunity to blackmail me. You are trying to extort money from me. But you followed me today with bad intentions, how can you explain it?" Seeing Jin Weishu was speechless and couldn't explain it, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Well! As long as Fellow Daoist Jin can answer one question for me, I will forgive what happened today. How about having Fellow Daoist Liu as a witness?"
"Are you serious?" Jin Weishu thought that even if he was afraid of bleeding today, he didn't expect Xiao Mian to take the initiative to give him a way out. Then he thought that Jin Weishu had grasped Xiao Mian's mind - good boy! It seems that it was a good move for him to lure the second disciple of Zhishan Sect here. This kid must be scared! Thinking of this, Jin Weishu said casually: "I wonder what you want to know?"
"Fellow Daoist Jin is really a quick-witted person! I just want to ask you: before me yesterday, did you also use the same trick to embarrass an old man?"
"That damn old man? Do you know him?"
"Don't worry about it! I ask you: what did you do to him?"
"Him? We didn't embarrass that damn old man!"
"Then where is he now?"
"..., I don't know!"
"Fellow Daoist Jin! Even if you don't give face to me, don't you give face to the contemporary senior disciple of Zhishan Sect, Fairy Liu, who is a witness?"
Jin Weishu was stunned and looked at Liu Suyi.
Seeing that Liu Suyi was still calm and smiling lightly, but that beautiful smile made Jin Weishu shu shudder.
"We really don't know where that old man came from, nor do we know where he is now!" Seeing Liu Suyi pouting at Xiao Mian, Jin Weishu turned to Xiao Mian and said, "Yesterday, that old man was taken away by a handsome young man..."
"Who?"
"I don't know! But that man seems to be from the Wang family!"
"Wang family?"
When Xiao Mian heard this, he was stunned.
Instinctively, Xiao Mian suspected that Jin Weishu was using the Wang family to pressure him, or hoped that something unpleasant would happen between him and the Wang family; but thinking about it more deeply, Xiao Mian hesitated.
Wang family!
Handsome young man!
Even Wang Li whom he had met before!
With a glance, he saw Liu Suyi frowning.
In an instant, a flash of inspiration appeared in Xiao Mian's mind, connecting some scattered and originally clueless events together to form a thread.
At this moment, Liu Suyi's eyes passed Jin Weishu's back and projected towards Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was stunned, but nodded imperceptibly.
The next moment, Xiao Mian's true energy swelled all over his body.
He stepped forward and crushed the chest of the Jindan intermediate cultivator who was subdued by him before, causing his chest to collapse and die; the Xingci Divine Sword drew a chaotic sword light and pierced the man who was resisting the cold poison of the Ice Soul Finger, crushing him and the ice to pieces; at the same time, Xiao Mian shattered the Five Spirits Golden Bell Cover he had set up before, and took advantage of the moment when the cultivator inside lost his mind, and a set of Dragon King Secret Scrolls with five punches came out at the same time, and the five-color streamer gathered at one point, killing the man without leaving any residue.
Xiao Mian ignored Jin Weishu alone.
But the more this happened, the more Jin Weishu was wary of Xiao Mian's killing moves.
He didn't expect that he could take care of the front, but not the back.
A white rainbow pierced the sun, and a flash of blood suddenly appeared.
Jin Weishu was at least a high-level Jindan cultivator, and just when the white light was about to hit his body, he was forcibly moved three inches to the side.
Just this three-inch lateral shift allowed Jin Weishu to escape!
The white light that was originally aimed at Jin Weishu's heart pierced through Jin Weishu's left arm, and in the blood mist, one of Jin Weishu's left arms was shredded by the white light!
The one who attacked was naturally Liu Suyi.
Seeing that her sneak attack, which could be called a sure kill, failed to penetrate Jin Weishu's heart, Liu Suyi was also stunned, but then she attacked again.
The sky river rolled back, and it poured down towards Jin Weishu.
Unexpectedly, Jin Weishu was also amazing. At this moment of life and death, he was extremely calm. After instantly judging that the one who attacked him was Liu Suyi, who he had invited, Jin Weishu gritted his teeth and activated his life-saving secret technique.
Facing Liu Suyi's rolling back of the sky river, Jin Weishu did not dodge or avoid.
The blood mist quickly enveloped Jin Weishu's figure, and then, like a silk-like river, it rolled back and hit Jin Weishu's head, causing a disaster.
Seeing this, Liu Suyi was not relieved, but frowned.
The next moment, the water light shattered, and the blood light churned.
After the blood light, there was golden light.
The strong golden light shot out from the blood light, piercing the surrounding water flow, and shot towards the southeast sky at an extremely fast speed...
At the same time, Xiao Mian had already killed all the five Jindan beginners who had been subdued by him before, and even destroyed their bodies.
Looking back, seeing this, Xiao Mian couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, Jin Weishu could actually avoid Liu Suyi's sneak attack?
Could it be that Liu Suyi secretly let him go?
But looking at Liu Suyi's gloomy face, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Thinking about this, knowing that this place was not a place to stay for long, Xiao Mian and Liu Suyi looked at each other, and then stood up at the same time, leaving this place of trouble.
Before that, Xiao Mian collected many storage bags without making a sound - what if there were some antiques similar to the three-legged tripod in the storage bags of these thugs?
Not long after, two beams of light landed on a hilltop more than ten miles away.
"The disciple of Zhishan Sect is indeed worthy of his reputation! This skill of killing and setting fire - oh! No! It's the skill of killing and letting go, which is no worse than mine!"
"Humph! Brother Xiao, are you mocking Suyi?"
"How dare I! I wonder if Miss Suyi recognizes the escape technique used by fellow Daoist Jin to escape just now? Can you tell what kind of background he is?"
"..., what kind of background can the hooligans who hang around in Xinglong Lane have? They are just some casual cultivators, maybe they got some fragments of escape techniques!" After a subtle feint, Liu Suyi said to Xiao Mianyan: "By the way, you dare to say that to me? A lay disciple of the Buddhist White Horse Temple, you kill people without blinking an eye, and you kill eight people at once. It's really the mercy of my Buddha!"
"Amitabha! My Buddha said: Eliminating demons is to defend the Way!"
"Eliminating evil is to promote good, and my Zhishan Religion has similar teachings!"
"Miss Suyi! Fairy Liu! Let's not beat around the bush, shall we?"
"Okay! Daoist Xiao, tell me, what is the secret of this three-legged tripod?" Turning her jade hand lightly, Liu Suyi said calmly: "Suyi doesn't believe that Daoist Xiao, such a smart person, would spend 10,000 spiritual power to buy a useless antique?"
"It's just a trick, not worth mentioning! It's just to arouse the greed of these greedy people and lure them out of their holes, so that I can capture them. But I have to thank Miss Suyi for her help. This three-legged tripod will be given to Miss Yu as a thank you gift!"
Xiao Mian said this carelessly.
Liu Suyi weighed the three-legged tripod with her jade hand, looking at Xiao Mian with a smile on her face.
After listening to Jin Weishu's description, Liu Suyi said that the three-legged tripod was just an antique with good materials, which stopped Jin Weishu's thoughts. However, she secretly thought: Xiao Mian is so smart, how could he be interested in this three-legged tripod?
Could it be that this broken tripod has some mystery?
Xiao Mian's careless words now made Liu Suyi hesitate.
"......, humph! You are still so stingy! Who wants this junk?" After saying that, Liu Suyi threw the three-legged tripod to Xiao Mian and scolded him unhappily: "If you want to thank me, you should show some sincerity and give me a million or eight hundred thousand middle spirits! I just saw that you took all the storage bags of those ruffians!"
"How can a disciple of Zhishan Sect care about these things?" Xiao Mian was very happy after catching the three-legged tripod. He looked at Liu Suyi with a kind look and even joked with her. Before Liu Suyi could raise her eyebrows, Xiao Mian continued, "Besides! Given our relationship, talking about spiritual stones will hurt our feelings!"
"You! Humph! Suyi and Xiao Daoyou are just strangers, what kind of friendship do we have?"
"Oh! That's right! Fairy Liu and I are indeed strangers! We met by chance. Fairy Liu is the landlord of Xianyang City and a disciple of Zhishan Sect; I am just a guest in a foreign land. The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we will say goodbye here, goodbye!"
"You! Stop right there!"
The white rainbow was surging, slashing in front of Xiao Mian, stopping Xiao Mian in place.
Xiao Mian was naturally pretending, otherwise even if Liu Suyi's cultivation was one level higher, he could not stay.
Although he was a little surprised to see Liu Suyi today, Xiao Mian came to Xianyang City and planned to find an opportunity to visit Liu Suyi. After all, Liu Suyi was still a local snake in Xianyang City, and more importantly, Liu Suyi needed help.
Only when Liu Suyi needs help, Xiao Mian is qualified to negotiate with this Zhishan Sect disciple, although such behavior is somewhat treacherous.
As expected, Liu Suyi would not miss the private meeting with Xiao Mian so easily.
