1173: This Was Picked Up, Believe It or Not

This Was Picked Up, Believe It or Not

Yi Li had been feeling that something was amiss, especially between what she had heard and what she heard witnessed. Rather than believing blindly and acting based on that, it was better to continue observing before coming to a conclusion. Of course, she didn't reveal what she was thinking.2

"Yes, Young Master," said Aunt Yi happily with a long sigh of relief. She knew that with her current strength, she would only become a burden if she stayed, so she bowed and left.

Yi Li waved her arm, and an array slowly opened. A faint blue light flashed, and her figure disappeared.

This array was the Beast Soul Invisibility Technique that had been passed down through the generations of Blood Beast Sect. It could cut out an invisible space that was completely isolated from the world and was the best for stealth, but its weakness was also very obvious. When the array opened, the fluctuations were too obvious. Invisibility was guaranteed when remaining still but movements especially to attack would be obvious.

When the array was activated, Ling Chuxi and the others also felt it.

"Who is it?!" Gongxi Kuangdao shouted and wanted to pull out his blade, but only caught air. Only then did he remember that his blade had become a piece of scrap metal.

However, Gongxi Kuangdao being Gongxi Kuangdao, he was not the least bit depressed. Instead, he was full of pride. He dashed to a corner, pulled out another blade, and raised it over his shoulder. His body was full of fighting spirit and was quite awe-inspiring.

Gongxi Kuangdao's mood may not have been dampened, but his subordinate's was. The latter's hand was still positioned at his waist but it grabbed at nothing. The subordinate looked helplessly at Gongxi Kuangdao and thought, 'Boss, you're able to show off with my blade, but what about me? What am I to do now without a weapon?'

Just as he wondered about this, Gongxi Kuangdao waved his blade with all his might. Although this slash was not directed at Yi Li, it was a warning.

The blade's True Qi surged like ignited flames. With a whistle, the ground had been marked by the slash that extended towards Yi Li's feet like a crack.

The Golden Pill Sect's disciples' alertness was also much higher than before. When they heard Gongxi Kuangdao's loud shout, they immediately reacted and rushed towards the courtyard. Su Yizhi and Ling Yichen were among those at the front of the crowd.

Yi Li did not expect Gongxi Kuangdao's attack to be so powerful. She also did not know that the Gongxi clan's martial technique was known as the Three Axes, despite it being only a one-move, one-weapon attack.

Yi Li instantly appeared and coldly shouted, "Wait! I have something to say."

Oh? Ling Chuxi looked at the delicate girl who appeared out of thin air and was somewhat puzzled. However, she still extended her hand to stop Gongxi Kuangdao's attack.

"Who are you?" asked Ling Chuxi warily. There was more the girl than meets the eye. She appeared out of thin air just now - what kind of martial arts was this?

"Are you Ling Chuxi?" asked Yi Li as she looked at Ling Chuxi coldly.

"Yes, who are you?" asked Ling Chuxi in return with a slight frown.

"Where did you get the bracelet on your wrist?" asked Yi Li directly.

Bracelet? Ling Chuxi was stunned and looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. The girl before her recognized this bracelet? What was going on? This bracelet was left behind by the assassin. Could this girl be related to the assassin? No, Ling Chuxi quickly denied this possibility. Then, why did the she ask such a question?

"If I said I picked it up from somewhere, would you believe me?" Ling Chuxi answered truthfully.

"No!" Yi Li's expression changed and her gaze became gloomy. Did Ling Chuxi think she was an idiot?

"Well, I wouldn't believe it either, but it's true." Ling Chuxi looked at Yi Li's expression and smiled bitterly. She now knew that this matter was truly not that simple.
