Liu Ruyan’s long, silky black hair was lifted by the wind and brushed against Li Yunjing’s nose, a tempting fragrance wafting into his nostrils.
Such a delightful scent made Li Yunjing unable to resist taking a deep breath.
This scene caught Liu Ruyan’s eye, and she blushed slightly, casting a sidelong glance at Li Yunjing.
The hint of flirtation in her eyes made Li Yunjing’s heart flutter, almost losing his composure.
He forced himself to stay calm, held Liu Ruyan, and dodged the attack of the Tribulation Cultivator, then laughed, "I never thought that when we met again, you would be in such a sorry state!"
"Hmph! Laugh all you want. But how did your cultivation progress so quickly? You’ve already been promoted to the Inner Sect?"
Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.
Her bright eyes were full of puzzlement.
"Hehe! I’ll take care of this Tribulation Cultivator for you first, and then we’ll talk!"
With the beauty in his arms, Li Yunjing’s spear struck out, deflecting the Tribulation Cultivator leader’s long saber. His body technique flickered like a phantom, continuously flashing around the Tribulation Cultivator leader while repeatedly striking with the "Breaking Gang Spear."
"It’s you? You’re the one who killed my friend?"
At this moment, the Tribulation Cultivator leader seemed to recognize the "Breaking Gang Spear" and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"So you really are a Tribulation Cultivator! Then I can’t let you live!"
Li Yunjing sneered continuously, his figure moving like a dragon. In a flash, the "Breaking Gang Spear" turned into a lightning bolt, piercing the man’s chest and sending him flying a yard away, crashing heavily to the ground.
The Tribulation Cultivator leader’s face turned ashen, writhing in pain, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t get up.
Li Yunjing’s spear had severely injured his lungs!
"Boy! I ask you, do you want to live or die?"
Li Yunjing stepped forward, the spear tip pointed at the Tribulation Cultivator leader’s throat, and asked coldly.
"Why not just kill him?"
Liu Ruyan’s eyes flashed with doubt.
"This kid is the Tribulation Cultivator leader; he must have gathered many things. I’ll question him first, see if I can extract any secrets. Then I’ll let you kill him."
Li Yunjing transmitted his voice.
"You are truly cunning!"
Upon hearing Li Yunjing’s transmission, Liu Ruyan finally smiled sweetly at him, "Then why don’t you let go of me?"
Li Yunjing reluctantly removed his large hand from Liu Ruyan’s soft, warm waist.
At this moment, the pair of twin girls came to Liu Ruyan’s side, looking at her with eyes full of questions.
There were many people around, so Liu Ruyan said nothing.
"Senior Brother Li, this person must not be spared!"
When Tang Ying and others finished cleaning up the battlefield and arrived, Tang Ying immediately spoke.
"Hmph! Kill me if you want! Don’t think you can toy with me!"
Lying on the ground, the Tribulation Cultivator leader’s eyes darkened, he mustered his last bit of strength, and roared.
If death was certain, then he might as well be straightforward, to die like a real man.
"You Tribulation Cultivators are indeed tough! I said I wouldn’t kill you, so I won’t! But I want to see what you offer to save your life!"
Li Yunjing chuckled lightly, ignoring Tang Ying, and continued to intimidate the Tribulation Cultivator.
"Hehe! So you have your eyes on my wealth? What if I don’t say?"
The Tribulation Cultivator’s eyes brightened; this was his hope for survival.
"Hehe! Torture and forced confessions aren’t my style! I won’t do anything to you; I’ll just capture you and take you back to the Sect. Let the ’Law Enforcement Hall’ interrogate you. They surely have ways to make you talk! Even if you are iron-willed, they have Soul-Searching and Soul-Stealing experts in the Sect. Before you die, you’ll suffer a bit more!"
Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly, harshly intimidating.
These words extinguished the small hope in the Tribulation Cultivator’s heart.
The ’Law Enforcement Hall’ of the Shenxiao Dao Sect was literally a group of demons!
If he fell into their hands, would there be any chance of survival?
Death would be the greatest blessing.
Seeing the Tribulation Cultivator leader somewhat panicked, Li Yunjing continued, "Tell me where you’ve hidden your wealth. Consider it your ransom. You have only this one chance."
The Tribulation Cultivator leader looked around at the menacing crowd, then at the expressionless Li Yunjing, and fell into silence.
After a long while, he hoarsely said, "Are you sure you won’t kill me?"
"With so many people present, would I, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, go back on my word? Do you think your wealth is enough for the Shenxiao Dao Sect to lie?"
Li Yunjing looked down on the Tribulation Cultivator leader disdainfully.
Li Yunjing’s words both angered and reassured him.
"Fine! I’ll give you the key to my residence in the Youlan Market, along with the method to enter the array. Will you let me go then?"
In the end, the Tribulation Cultivator leader gritted his teeth, holding onto a shred of hope.
"Of course! I can tell you, the people of the Shenxiao Dao Sect keep their word! And you must hand over the Hundred Treasures Pouch!"
Li Yunjing smiled faintly, his attitude softened considerably.
The Tribulation Cultivator leader reluctantly untied the "Hundred Treasures Pouch" from his waist and took out a jade scroll, recording his property information in Youlan Market, including an array guide.
"Good! It seems you weren’t lying to me! You can leave now."
After receiving the Hundred Treasures Pouch, Li Yunjing checked the jade scroll and quickly pinpointed the hidden location.
Li Yunjing was a man of his word, immediately withdrawing the "Breaking Gang Spear," indicating the Tribulation Cultivator leader could leave.
"Fine! You people from the Shenxiao Dao Sect really do keep promises!"
The Tribulation Cultivator leader’s heart relaxed, turning to leave.
