Chapter Thirty-two: Pursuit [First Update] (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  "Venerable Wei, are you aware that a new sect has emerged in the martial arts world, with techniques so deadly and ruthless?"

  Liyang Sect's Elder Li seemed unintentionally said, while he was speaking, he recounted the circumstances of several people's deaths:

  "This strange technique is completely different from any known martial arts style. Elder Wei, have you heard even a little bit of news about it in the Five Thunder Sect?"

  This Longwangzong Dragon Power Realm elder was also the one who had been asked casually. With the principle of seeking medical attention in desperation, there wasn't much hope placed on him either.

  The speaker has intention, and the listener has understanding.

  Elder Wei's heart moved slightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

  "Not good, I forgot, this guy has seen me in action."

  Lin Xi secretly thought it was not good.

  At the time of the Elder Council, Lin Xi made few moves and what could be seen was limited. However, falling into the eyes of those with intentions, there must be some connection.

  "This old man won't tell the people of Lieyang Sect about me."

  Lin Xi's heart tightened. The matter of killing the Third Prince was very secretive, but if the people of Lieyang Zong found out it was him, even with his title as the Young Master of the Five Thunder Sect, he might not be able to protect himself.

  "What's this, Elder Wei has seen this martial arts move before?"

  Li Zhang's eyebrows rose in surprise.

  Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, her ears perked up, and she wore an intent expression.

  "Li Zhanglao, with a prestigious position beside the Third Prince, didn't he have any powerful guards?"

  Wei Boping didn't rush to answer, but instead asked a question in return, as if seeking confirmation of something.

  "How is that possible. He has a core disciple at the peak of the sixth heavy god journey accompanying him, and more than ten iron bone period and tendon period masters are with him. Originally, if it weren't for the third prince to get his seventh brother out of the way, nothing would have happened. A giant spirit period strongman can easily keep him safe here."

  Li Zhang's eyes showed a helpless expression.

  The Third Prince was too impatient, otherwise, with the company of a powerful Jie Dan expert, it would not have ended like this, being killed without even knowing who did it.

  "Oh?"

  Wei Bu Ping listened and raised an eyebrow: "Then it shouldn't be him. I overthought."

  "Who is it?"

  Li Zhanglao immediately asked a question, his eyes gleaming with determination. For anyone who might have killed the Third Prince, the Lieyang Sect would not let them off.

  "Don't misunderstand, Elder Li. He's just a martial artist in the Tempering Body stage. With so many powerful experts protecting the Third Prince and having a Divine Movement stage strongman, it's absolutely impossible for him to be the one."

  Wei Bu Ping waved his hand and said calmly.

  He indeed thought of Lin Xi. Lin Xi following Su Zi Xuan, the two leaving Wu Lei Sect together wasn't a very secretive matter, and he basically couldn't be deceived.

  Wei Bu Ping originally thought it was Su Zi Xuan's doing, after all, with Su Zi Xuan's abilities, it would be easy to do such a thing. However, Li Chang Lao has already explained that it was done by one person. Moreover, the technique used is not the martial arts of Wu Lei Pai. Naturally, this rules out Su Zi Xuan as a possibility.

  As for Lin Xi, he had actually entered the Iron Bone stage. However, Wei Wuping, an elder in the eighth layer of the Golden Eternity stage, wouldn't even bother to notice him. Whether it was the Tempering Body stage or the Iron Bone stage, there was no difference, and it wasn't worth paying attention to.

  "Oh? Then it shouldn't be him."

  Li Zhang's eyebrows slightly raised, he heard about the Tempering Body stage and didn't have much interest in asking further.

  A cultivator in the Tempering Body stage, even if they defy the heavens, can only defeat one strong practitioner in the Iron Bone stage. To think of killing so many core disciples of the Liet Yang Sect is simply impossible.

  Li Zhang immediately ruled out this possibility.

  In the forest, Lin Xi let out a breath of relief. If Lieyang Zong focused his attention on him, it wouldn't be good no matter what.

  "We'll talk about this later, first let's get the Tian Di Yi Guo and then we can discuss."

  Li Zhanglao changed the subject and went straight to the point:

  "Let's make one thing clear. You can take that Heaven and Earth Fruit, but the Guardian Beast and its Beast Dan belong to me." The voice was firm and left no room for doubt.

  "That's natural. Our goal is just that one Heaven and Earth Fruit that will evolve the Tiger."

  Wei Bu Ping forced a smile on his face, but in front of the Dragon Power Period elder of Lieyang Zong, this elder immediately became insignificant. His tone also wasn't as overbearing.

  "However, Li Changlao, there's something I don't quite understand. Da Changlao hasn't interfered with the sect's affairs for decades. Even if he is a powerful expert from the Dragon Power period. But this time we're being so cautious and making so many preparations, isn't it a bit of an overreaction?"

  The way is not level.

  Lin Xi also perked up his ears and listened carefully.

  "Hmph! You know nothing. This old man reached the Dragon Power realm many years ago. Do you think he's just a senile old fool? Hmph, then you're greatly mistaken. Our Liet Yang Sect's Great Elder once specifically went to observe him at your Wu Lei Sect. After returning, he said that your Great Elder Zhao Xiong has likely reached the peak of the Dragon Power period and is only one line away from the 10th level. If not for his advanced age and some decline in his internal organs, he probably would have broken through to the 10th level Lei Ming Jin long ago."

  Li Changlao said in a deep voice, and his high evaluation of the Great Elder of the Five Thunder Sect was beyond everyone's expectations.

  "Ah!"

  Wei Bu Ping's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

  The Great Elder reached the ninth level of Dragon Force, this is something everyone knows. It's just that no one expected, Fire Marquis would be so high. Even Leng Yang Zong's elder, who was also in the Dragon Force period, seemed to be extremely wary of him.

  "Is the Great Elder really this powerful?!"

  Lin Xi was also deeply shocked by these words.

  The old man's usual behavior was really too low-key, so even though he knew he was Long Lixue, he inadvertently neglected him.

  "Let's go, it's about time. If we're late, that beast will eat the Tian Di Yi Guo and that would be disastrous."

  Li Zhang opened his mouth and said, waving his hand.

  Everyone nodded, packed up and got ready to set off.

  Lin Xi saw this scene behind the forest and was moved in her heart, also preparing to quietly follow. Just at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from beside her ear:

  "Come out. I've noticed you for a long time."

  Li Changlao of Liet Yang Sect suddenly stopped and turned back, his eyes sharp as knives, coldly scanning the big tree where Lin Xi was hiding.

  Boom!

  This was a bolt from the blue, Lin Xi never expected that Li Changlao had already discovered him. His whole body suddenly felt like it had fallen into an icy pit.

  "It's all over. I didn't think this old guy was so cunning. He actually took advantage of my momentary lapse and launched a surprise counterattack!"

  Lin Xi only felt his mouth dry and his tongue parched, and his heart was even more lifted to his throat. His mind turned over many thoughts, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

  Lin Xi's current strength has skyrocketed, and even the seventh-ranked fierce beast can fight him. However, in front of him are two giants in the martial arts world: one is the Diamond Stage Wei Bu Ping, and the other is the Dragon Strength Stage Leng Yang Sect Elder. Neither of them is someone he can currently contend with, and either one can easily crush him to death.

  Moreover, Wei Ping had long wanted to kill him, and if he saw him appear here, there was no doubt that he would be delighted to kill him.

  "What's going on? Still can't come out? Do I need to take action myself?"

  Li Zhanglao said in a cold voice, with a chill in his eyes. Everyone's gaze focused on the woods where Lin Xi was hiding, revealing a murderous intent, and the scene fell silent.

  This matter is extremely confidential. No leaks are allowed, no matter who is hiding behind it, they must be killed.

  "Elder, let me go and drag him out!"

  A core disciple of the Five Thunder Sect said in a low voice.

  Lin Xi gritted his teeth and was about to reveal himself when a sudden change occurred.

  "Roar! ——"

  A fierce howl came from behind Lin Xi. In the midst of Lin Xi's shocked gaze, a black six-clawed giant spirit leopard suddenly pounced out with a swoosh.

  The ferocious beast bared its teeth and glared at Wei Ping and the others not far away, its eyes revealing a fierce light. Originally only seven feet tall, but in the process of pouncing out, its body suddenly grew taller, as if inflated, and in the blink of an eye, it became nearly two zhang (about 6 meters) tall, transforming into a gigantic ferocious beast.

  Bang!

  A fist-sized stone flew over and smashed onto the body of this six-clawed giant spirit leopard. With a loud crash, this seventh-level giant spirit beast seemed to have been hit by a mountain peak, directly exploding into pieces, its body splitting into four or five parts, scattering across an area of dozens of meters in diameter.

  "It turned out to be the leader of the beasts."

  Everyone from the Wu Lei Sect let out a sigh of relief, but their gaze towards the elderly man from Lie Yang Zong was filled with reverence.

  With a flick of the wrist, relying on a single stone, one can kill a Seventh-Order Giant Spirit Realm ferocious beast. The strong of the Dragon Force period are simply unfathomably powerful.

  "It's truly worthy of being called an existence that can fight against a giant dragon."

  The same thought flashed through everyone's mind.

  "Let's go."

  Liyang Sect's Elder Li waved his hand. Although it was a misunderstanding, no one dared to underestimate him. On the contrary, this move he made unintentionally left a deep impression on everyone.

  Shasha!

  In the blink of an eye, the group of people vanished without a trace.

  After a moment, Lin Xi was certain they had left and emerged from behind the tree.

  A cold wind blew, and Lin Xi only felt a chill run down his back, cool and refreshing. Just now, it was really too dangerous. Lin Xi almost thought he wouldn't escape this disaster.

  "Unexpectedly, I was actually saved by a fierce beast."

  Lin Xi walked over to where the Six-clawed Giant Leopard was killed. The strong man from Long Lai's side was too frightening, that one blow not only shattered its body, but also destroyed the beast core inside it, wasting a precious Seventh-grade beast core.

  This giant beast was also extremely powerful, and its original target, if nothing unexpected happened, should have been Lin Xi hiding behind the big tree. At that time, Lin Xi's attention was all focused on Wei Wu Ping and his group, and he didn't notice any movement behind him.

  It just so happened that the Longli period's Lieyang Sect elder accidentally let this fierce beast take Lin Xi's place in suffering punishment.

  "What luck, what luck..."

  Lin Xi's heart was filled with cold sweat.

  The elder of the Longli period claimed to be able to fight with a giant dragon, but after all, he was still human and not a god. His ears could hear faint sounds, but he couldn't distinguish what kind of thing made the sound.

  Lin Xi became even more cautious after this encounter, keeping a distance and not daring to get too close. He followed Wei Bu Ping and the others as they sped towards the place where the Heavenly Earthly Fruit grew.

  There was an elder of the Dragon Power who opened the way. When Lin Xi walked over, he almost didn't encounter any living fierce beasts.
