Chapter 627: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
His cultivation has improved so much in more than two years. Does Xia Jili dare to delay it?
He absolutely dares not!
Compared with him, Xia Jili must be more eager to settle the feud as soon as possible.
Therefore, he is sure that Xia Jili will not refuse.
Sure enough, Xia Jili really took the bait and wanted to fight with him.
There are two benefits to doing so.
First, he also wants to take advantage of the situation to resolve the feud between him and Xia Jili, and he does not have to worry about the Holy Moon Sect.
Second, it can also be used to determine whether Sheng'er is in Xia Jili's hands.
Xia Jili wants to fight with him in a heart-oath battle. With the temperament of that old thing, he will definitely find ways to win.
At this point, the two can only be in a life-and-death situation. If Sheng'er is really in Xia Jili's hands, he will definitely make the best use of her.
Because if he loses and dies in his hands, even if he holds Sheng'er, it will be useless.
Instead of doing so, it is better to expose Sheng'er's amulet in advance to confuse his mind and increase the possibility of victory.
Of course, it is also possible that Sheng'er is not in Xia Jili's hands.
But even so, the grudge between him and Xia Jili will eventually be settled through the battle of the heart oath.
Fortunately, what made Duan Qing excited was that his performance was not in vain, and Sheng'er was really in Xia Jili's hands.
The seemingly inexplicable words he said before leaving were very telling.
Now that Sheng'er is in Xia Jili's hands, the only remaining question is how to rescue Sheng'er.
Just as Duan Qing was lost in thought, Xuan Jing walked behind him and sighed deeply, saying, "Is it a bit inconsiderate for you to do this!"
He was in the room just now, and he heard the conversation between Duan Qing and Xia Jili very clearly.
Duan Qing, who was in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, was too risky to challenge Xia Jili, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm, even if he was a disciple of the Shinto Sect.
Duan Qing's thoughts were interrupted, and he glanced back at Xuan Jing. "The grudge between me and this person will eventually be settled!"
He was not worried about whether he could defeat Xia Jili.
He had fought with Xia Jili before, and he had a rough idea of Xia Jili's strength.
According to his speculation, Xia Jili's strength was roughly below Zuo Muxiu.
He believed that his physical strength was stronger than that of the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm, and he had many means to improve himself, and after the transformation of the source energy, it should not be difficult for him to defeat Xia Jili now.
Compared with winning or losing, he was more worried about how to rescue Sheng'er.
Since Xia Jili took the initiative to expose Sheng'er in his hands, he must want to use Sheng'er to disturb his mind and would not let him save people so easily.
Seeing Duan Qing fall into deep thought again, Xuan Jing shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, turned away and continued to sit down to practice.
Although he did not understand Duan Qing's purpose, since the matter was a foregone conclusion, he could only hope that Duan Qing could win!
Not long after Xia Jili left, Si Wen'an and her sister came to find Duan Qing.
"How is it, have you seen that old guy?" Si Wen'an walked up to Duan Qing with a smile and joked.
"That old fellow came to us to ask about you, Daoist Fellow Duan, before daybreak. I don't know where he got the interest from!" Si Wenjing complained.
"Haha, I've met him. I talked about the old times with Senior Xia!" Duan Qing casually mentioned it, without mentioning the battle of heart and oath with Xia Jili.
"What are Daoist Fellow Duan's plans next?" Si Wen'an asked.
"The Holy Moon Valley of your sect has a unique scenery. I am thinking of walking around. I wonder if you two Daoists are willing to lead the way?" Duan Qing smiled and invited the two sisters.
Xia Jili didn't know that he actually came mainly for Sheng'er. He asked him to walk around in the Holy Moon Valley, probably to remind him in some way that Sheng'er was in his hands.
In this case, why not follow his wishes? It's just the right opportunity to see if there is a chance to save Sheng'er.
"Haha, Daoist Fellow Duan, you finally got it!" Si Wen'an's eyes lit up and he said happily.
"That's right. I told you yesterday that there's nothing to see about that old fellow!" Si Wenjing was also full of joy.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"By the way, Daoist Xuan Jing, are you going?"
...
Xuan Jing, who had seen the chatterbox skills of Si Wen'an and her sister yesterday, refused to accompany Duan Qing no matter what.
So Duan Qing had to go on his own and wandered around the Holy Moon Valley under the guidance of Si Wen'an and her sister.
The Holy Moon Valley is dozens of miles wide, and the Holy Moon Sect's buildings actually only occupy about 10%.
The remaining area is mostly dense forests in some places, and some places are opened up by the Holy Moon Sect to plant spiritual herbs.
Duan Qing seemed to be very interested in these flowers, plants and trees, but he didn't appreciate them at all. Instead, he was secretly observing the movements around him.
What made him a little depressed was that after walking around for a whole day and almost visiting the Holy Moon Valley, he didn't see anything unusual.
In the evening, after Duan Qing said goodbye to Si Wen'an and her sister, he walked towards his residence with a gloomy face.
Not only did he not find any clues about Sheng'er all day, but he was almost annoyed to death by Si Wen'an and her sister!
He deserved it!
Duan Qing had just walked to the gate of his residence when he suddenly found that a simple piece of clothing was hanging on a tree in the yard.
Seeing the clothing, Duan Qing's eyes were stern, and he stretched out his hand and took the clothing directly into his hand.
This clothing was obviously owned by a woman, and the style was very small, like it was worn by a young girl.
Looking at the clothing in his hand, Duan Qing couldn't help but clench his fist, and there seemed to be memories in his eyes.
He recognized at a glance that this clothing belonged to Sheng'er.
When he first adopted Sheng'er, Sheng'er was only about twelve years old, and had been hungry for a long time. She was very thin and small, about the same size as an ordinary ten-year-old child.
Therefore, when Duan Qing bought clothes for Sheng'er, he deliberately bought a smaller size.
This piece of clothing was one of the clothes he bought for Sheng'er that year!
Xia Jili, you old thing!
If Sheng'er gets into trouble, I, Duan Qing, will take your life!
Duan Qing secretly became ruthless in his heart!
He was now completely sure that Sheng'er was in Xia Jili's hands.
After putting away the clothes and walking into the room, Duan Qing found that Xuan Jing was still practicing.
"What did you gain?" Xuan Jing opened his eyes and asked Duan Qing.
Duan Qing was so abnormal today, looking for trouble, and went out to hang out with the two chatterbox sisters Si Wen'an. If you say there is no purpose, he doesn't believe it.
Duan Qing nodded. "After I left today, has anyone else come?"
"No!" Xuan Jing said, and continued to practice with his eyes closed.
Duan Qing was too lazy to ask any more questions. He found a chair and sat down, closing his eyes and meditating.
With the cultivation level of Xuan Jingwen's initial state of mind, he probably couldn't find Xia Jili's whereabouts.
Xia Jili, this old guy, is very cunning and knows how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
On the surface, he asked him to go out for a walk, but in fact, he put Sheng'er's clothes at the door of his residence.
How hateful!
