Chapter 652: Speed of Life and Death
After only ten days of retreat, Xiao Mian had to stop.
The true essence in Xiao Mian's body became stronger and more dignified. Xiao Mian even felt that he had touched the threshold of the high-level Jindan.
If he continued to retreat, Xiao Mian would definitely make a breakthrough within a month!
However, Xiao Mian had to stop retreating, just because Gui Hai passed on a message to Xiao Mian - Li Motian was dead!
If that was all, it would be nothing to Xiao Mian! Li Motian? He was just a poor family kid who wanted to rely on the Wang family to revive his family. Not to mention Li Motian, Xiao Mian didn't even take Wang Yong seriously.
The problem is - it is said that Ou Qingtan killed Li Motian!
Ou Qingtan!
Xiao Mian only knew that this person also entered Zulongju, but since then, Xiao Mian had also made secret investigations, but he had never been able to get any news from Ou Qingtan.
He didn't want to hear the news about him at first glance, that he was the one who killed Li Motian!
Xiao Mian had no interest in the dirty things between Li Motian and Ou Qingtan.
The problem was that someone was trying to make trouble for Ou Qingtan in Zulong’s center…
If the three Xuancao sisters knew about Ou Qingtan’s whereabouts, they would probably bump into him without knowing their own strength, right? Thinking back to that day, Li Motian fought with Ou Qingtan only after being injured by himself. Even so, the two ended up in a tie. It can be seen that Li Motian’s strength should be higher than Ou Qingtan’s on that day; but within a few months, Ou Qingtan actually killed Li Motian—it can only mean that Ou Qingtan’s strength has increased dramatically!
Or, someone is secretly helping Ou Qingtan!
Even if Xuancao really breaks through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, the three sisters will probably not be the enemy of Ou Qingtan!
Moreover, to deal with a scheming and cunning person like Ou Qingtan, strength is secondary. The most important thing is the same scheming and cunning…
Just relying on those three women with long hair and little knowledge?
Humph!
Haitang may have some knowledge, but that Platycodon is just self-righteous. As for Hemerocallis, you can't count on her at all. If the three sisters meet Ou Qingtan, they will definitely die!
When Xiao Mian separated from the three sisters, he warned them not to provoke Ou Qingtan. Logically speaking, Xiao Mian has done his best. Therefore, Xiao Mian was going to ignore this matter and seize the time to practice peacefully and strive for an early breakthrough. But as soon as he closed his eyes, Hemerocallis's yellow dress appeared in his mind.
With his sword-like eyebrows, Xiao Mian sighed softly.
Even if I can't be sentimental, I can't be ruthless!
He stood up and floated away.
"Brother! Do you know where Ou Qingtan is? I understand! Tell Hua Mancheng: Tell me as soon as you find Ou Qingtan! Some things must be settled!"
"Brother Wang! Has the murderer of Wang Yong not been found yet? That's good! I mean - that's really a pity! By the way! I heard that Li Motian is also dead? Good death! Do you know where Ou Qingtan is? Revenge Li Motian? Brother Wang, you are joking! Xiao and Li Motian are not related, and they have hatred and grudges. Why should I avenge him? Really? You don't know where Ou Qingtan is either? Okay! I know..."
"..., I don't know if it's Miss Su Yi or Brother Mo Yin? Alas! Brother Mo Yin is really a bummer! Xiao's chance to talk with Miss Su Yi all night was ruined by you..., let me ask you something: Ou Qingtan didn't come to find you, right? No? That's such a pity! I see that this boy has a demon seed in his body, and he is a demon star descended to the earth!"
Using the Beidou Si Nan Pan, Xiao Mian collected information about Ou Qingtan.
It was obvious that Ou Qingtan was extremely cautious. Wang Li, Hua Mancheng, Gui Hai, and even the magic seal with divine consciousness had no news about him.
Of course, except for Gui Hai, the credibility of other people's words should be discounted, but Xiao Mian would rather believe: Ou Qingtan, hiding well, hiding very deeply...
If he could hide until Zulongju was closed, Xiao Mian would not bother to care about him.
But obviously, Ou Qingtan was not the kind of person who dared to lie low. This time, he hid for more than a month, and suddenly revealed his murderous intention, which showed that this person had a tough heart and was forbearing.
This kind of person, if he didn't show up, it would be a horrible disaster.
After changing his mind, Xiao Mian suddenly remembered the valley where he met the three women that day.
After a long time, Xiao Mian came to the valley where he met the purple-eyed golden-armed ape that day. Looking at the devastated valley, Xiao Mian's brows were almost locked together.
The spiritual eye was running to the extreme, sweeping across the entire valley.
With a flash, Xiao Mian flew to a broken rock, stretched out his hand to the cut of the rock wall, and felt the earth attribute spiritual energy looming in the cut.
Xu Earth Divine Light!
This rock was cut by someone with Xu Earth Divine Light.
Although the grade of Xu Earth Divine Light is not too high, it is not a common thing. The only one who can appear here and understand Xu Earth Divine Light is Xuancao!
Damn it!
They are in danger!
The next moment, Xiao Mian was startled by a sound of broken stones.
Following the sound, Xiao Mian dug out the purple-eyed golden gibbon with bruises all over its body in the ruins, but at this time, the purple-eyed golden gibbon's pair of eyeballs were gone!
Obviously someone dug out the purple-eyed golden gibbon's pair of eyeballs, but it is not known whether the other party disdains to kill this monster beast, or the purple-eyed golden gibbon has a strong vitality. After enduring the ordeal of certain death, it can still retain a glimmer of life.
After a slight hesitation, Xiao Mian took out a perfect bet and put it into the mouth of the purple-eyed golden-armed ape.
If the Ghost Head had not been in seclusion, and if the Ghost Saint was present, seeing Xiao Mian wasting the Wulouzi like this, he would probably have to work together to tear this kid to pieces alive...
As soon as the Wulouzi entered his mouth, the purple-eyed golden-armed ape's wounds immediately stopped bleeding, and even two lumps of flesh and blood gradually grew in his empty eyes.
"What happened?"
"Woo! Woo..."
"Damn it!" Blaming himself for his own mistakes, Xiao Mian had to persuade him: "But those three stupid women came back to you again? Someone is chasing them?"
The purple-eyed golden-armed ape nodded with difficulty.
"Did they run away?"
Nodding, the purple-eyed golden-armed ape pointed to the east.
"..., good! They came to you for help! My Wulouzi is worth it!"
The three girls ran away, but the purple-eyed golden-armed ape was seriously injured and dying. It was obvious that the monster held back the enemy and gave the three girls a chance to escape.
Otherwise, even the purple-eyed golden-armed ape would be in this state. With the strength of the three girls, wouldn't they have died on the spot long ago?
This is also the reason why Xiao Mian was willing to spend all his money to rescue the purple-eyed golden-armed ape earlier.
Standing up, Xiao Mian looked to the east and sighed softly.
"I hope it's not too late..."
The next moment, Xiao Mian disappeared.
"Brother! Help me intercept Ou Qingtan in the east of Zulongju!" After a pause, Xiao Mian reminded: "Ou Qingtan, I'm afraid he is not alone!"
"Brother Wang! Did your elder sister enter Zulongju with Ou Qingtan? Really? Girls are really outgoing! Then guess: Did your elder sister have a role in killing Li Motian? What if your stepmother knew that Li Motian's death was related to the Wang family? Humph! Don't talk to me in an official tone! Don't blame me for not warning you! If your elder sister and Ou Qingtan, that kid, If it's not clear, don't blame Xiao for being ruthless!"
"..., Brother Moyin? I heard that a piece of Heavenly Demon Finger Bone appeared in the west of Zulongju. I wonder if Brother Moyin is interested? What? You are now in the east of Zulongju. Are you afraid that someone will get the Heavenly Demon Finger Bone by the time you rush over? Don't worry! As long as Brother Moyin makes a big enough noise in the west of Zulongju - big enough to attract Yu Wushuang and the three bald donkeys, I will take care of the Heavenly Demon Finger Bone!"
While flying quickly, Xiao Mian's mind was racing.
Ou Qingtan, if you still have some conscience, for the sake of old man Ou, I can still let you go and let your Ou family continue the family line and leave a part of the incense.
If you are ruthless, I can only repay blood with blood and tooth with tooth...
Just thinking about this, Xiao Mian's expression moved and stopped the escape light.
Looking at the corpse of Platycodon hanging on the treetop, Xiao Mian's face was extremely ugly.
With a wave of his hand, he cut off the treetop and caught the body; with another wave of his hand, he smashed the rocks and put the body into the cave; with another wave of his hand, he filled the cave and used it as a grave.
Xiao Mian rushed all the way almost without stopping.
Under his seemingly calm expression, he suppressed his increasingly violent anger.
Platycodon, Xiao Mian didn't have much impression of this blue-shirted woman. He only knew that she was quite conceited and didn't talk much on weekdays. But from the fact that she would rather get hurt herself to protect Hemerocallis that day, it was clear that she was a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Now, she was lying dead in the wild.
What made Xiao Mian even more anxious was that Platycodon was dead, who would be the next one?
Is it Begonia? Or Hemerocallis? Or maybe both of them have already...
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
If I had known this, I should have killed Ou Qingtan in Xianyang City that day!
Thinking angrily, Xiao Mian's speed was three points faster, he was clearly racing against time!
Finally, after a moment, Xiao Mian sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the front.
Then, he saw two streams of light attacking each other, one of which was Gui Hai's sword - the black ghost head sword!
Then, the rolling sound waves came.
Seeing the ghost head sword, Xiao Mian was still relaxed.
Sure enough, looking around, he saw Gui Hai fighting with Ou Qingtan.
At this time, although Ou Qingtan was being suppressed by Gui Hai, his gestures were quite methodical. Obviously, even Gui Hai could not take Ou Qingtan for a while.
However, as long as Gui Hai stopped Ou Qingtan, everything else would be fine.
Just as Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief, Gui Hai shouted at him.
After hearing Gui Hai's words, Xiao Mian's face changed drastically - just because Gui Hai told him: It was not Gui Hai who held Ou Qingtan, but Ou Qingtan who was holding Gui Hai!
In other words, there was someone else chasing Hemerocallis!
As Xiao Mian was feeling annoyed, a storm of true energy suddenly emanated from the distant valley. He looked intently and his face turned pale: someone had clearly exploded their golden elixir!
With a sharp roar, Xiao Mian abandoned Ou Qingtan and flew past the battle group of Gui Hai and the other man, ignoring the raging true energy storm and swooping towards the valley.
