Chapter 177 Amazing harvest, seeking refuge
Li Yi used all his means. More than ten flying swords made of purple flame crystals continuously strangled the monks in the formation. In addition to the sudden attacks of the Soul-Falling Bell and the Bloodthirsty Blade, and the purple beasts underground, which took the opportunity to attack from time to time, he killed all the monks.
Several monks were frightened by Li Yi's ferocity and cruelty. One of them was Chang Luo. He put down his magic weapon and knelt down to beg for mercy, completely ignoring the image of a foundation-building monk. The elegant temperament he usually showed was also gone.
Looking at Chang Luo kneeling on the ground, Li Yi was very confused. He had no grudges with Chang Luo. He didn't know why the other party wanted to deal with him. Moreover, he and Chang Luo were from the same sect. Li Yi thought that he was loyal to the sect and respectful to the head. Although the two sides had no friendship, they had no grudges.
Chang Luo, who was already a prisoner, naturally did not dare to hide anything from Li Yi's questions and told everything in one go. This included the purpose of the head of the sect, Wei Zifeng, and the reason why the Zhao family monks were seeking revenge.
After listening to this, Li Yi was speechless. He did not expect that these cultivators of Tianqiao Sect still had evil intentions towards him, and even the head of the sect began to plot against him. He felt a little disdain for the self-proclaimed upright Tianqiao Sect. No wonder the cultivators of the Demonic Path looked down on them like this. There was a reason for this. He should go back to the sect less often in the future to avoid more trouble. In the entire sect, only Dongfang Bai was worth staying for a while.
"Brother Li, we killed all these people. What should we do with the magic tools, treasures, and storage bags on the ground? This is a considerable harvest!" Zhang Tie licked the corner of his mouth and said nervously and fearfully.
"Take them all away! Then we will discuss how to deal with them after we go back. I have erased the traces of the battle here to prevent anyone from finding anything. You and Fellow Daoist Liu clean up the battlefield quickly. Although this place is far away from the State of Chu, the noise of the battle just now was too loud. If it attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives, it will be troublesome." Li Yi said quickly.
Then, they used flying swords to wreak havoc and destroyed all traces of the battle.
Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei also knew what their actions today meant. They killed more than 20 cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building from the five major sects in one go. If this matter spread, even the Fire Spirit Valley would not be able to save them. Even if they entered the Golden Core stage, it would be very troublesome.
After doing all this, Li Yi and his team did not go back immediately, but rested outside for half a day. That afternoon, they mixed in with the crowd and returned to the inner city. They did not attract anyone's attention, which made Li Yi and his team feel relieved. The news of the death of these cultivators had not yet spread.
"Brother Li, I really need your help this time. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to come back. However, we have killed so many disciples from the five major sects. If the news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge shock. The cultivators from the five major sects will definitely not give up. We must prepare early. We dare not go back to Fire Spirit Valley. I have discussed with Senior Sister Liu. From now on, the two of us will follow you. On the surface, we are still disciples of Fire Spirit Valley, but privately we will follow your lead and listen to you. The spoils of this time are all here. All of them are handed over to you. We will not say anything." Zhang Tie took out a storage bag and said very sincerely.
Looking at Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei, Li Yi was a little surprised. He thought that the two of them would ask for a share of these treasures and then leave, but he didn't expect that these two people would choose to join him. Moreover, the other party was so generous. You have to know that the people they killed time and again were all core disciples of the five major sects, and the treasures left behind were also extraordinary. There were more than 200,000 spirit stones, six talismans, and fewer high-level and top-level magic tools, only more than ten pieces. The rest were destroyed by Li Yi's flying sword. There were more than 40 bottles of various elixirs. The harvest was very amazing.
Li Yi did not agree immediately, but thought for a while and said: "Two Taoist friends, to be honest, I am surprised that you made such a choice. I am used to being alone, so I don't think it is necessary to talk about surrendering. It is better for us to be friends. If there is anything good, we will act together and help each other. If we get treasures, we will share them according to the size of our efforts.
This time, I was able to kill these cultivators and obtain magic tools and treasures because I took out the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation, and the formation was damaged in the battle. The spirit beast and I also participated in the battle, so I took 50%, and the rest will be given to you two. I also want you two Taoist friends to repair the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. I will pay some materials and rewards. What do you think?"
Li Yi did this after careful consideration. Although the other party surrendered to him, he was only a cultivator in the foundation-building period and could not give him too much protection. The other party must be unhappy in his heart. Moreover, one of them is a weapon refiner and the other is a formation master. They are both high-level and arrogant. Even if he surrendered to me, he would definitely have some resistance in his heart.
After hearing Li Yi's words, Liu Yunfei immediately showed a relaxed and happy smile on her face, and said: "Brother Li can do this, it's really great. As for the spoils, we can take 20%. After all, my junior brother and I didn't do much. It was only with Brother Li's magical powers that we were able to annihilate them all. As for the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the damage is not very serious, and it is not difficult to repair it. But killing people from the five major sects is a bit troublesome. If the sect leaders investigate, they will definitely suspect us. Even if there is no evidence at that time, for those Jindan-stage cultivators, suspicion is enough. It is also a simple matter to capture us and collect our souls."
Liu Yunfei's words made Li Yi and Zhang Tie look a little ugly. This is indeed a more difficult matter. After thinking for a while, Li Yi pondered for a while and said: "I do have a way to delay it, but it will take some effort for you two to work hard. Then he sent a message to the two of them." After hearing Li Yi's message, the two of them immediately brightened up and became a little excited.
"Brother Li, this method is good. If we do this, the suspicion on us will definitely be reduced a lot." Zhang Tie said happily.
"It's good if you two think it's good. This is also an expedient measure. When the discussion meeting is over, we will leave here. As for the harvest this time, it is still distributed according to my previous proposal. I need to practice in seclusion recently, and I need you to help me collect some spiritual medicines." After Li Yi finished speaking, he handed the two a jade slip, which recorded the spiritual herbs that were still missing for refining the Breath-Resisting Pill.
Zhang Tie and the others took the jade slip and found that the spiritual herbs in it were all some third- and fourth-grade spiritual herbs. The pills to be refined should be at least third-grade spiritual pills. Looking at Li Yi with strange eyes, Zhang Tie couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li, you need these spiritual herbs to refine spiritual pills? Are you a third-grade alchemist?"
