Xue Qing had thought through everything perfectly, but she hadn't thought that the other party would really be willing to part with such a great temptation. For a moment, a charming smile froze on her face.
Right, she still didn't know his identity.
Xue Qing regained her composure. "I am the 'Heaven Swallowing Python'." It was time to kneel and plead with him.
"I know, but I still refuse." Mu Xiaoling shook her head and turned to leave.
Xue Qing's smile froze on her face again, as she helplessly looked on as she left.
As for killing people … How could it be possible, he had finally managed to find a person with pleasing beast driving talent, how could he so easily kill him? Who knows how long he would have to wait until the next person was killed, and furthermore, the upper realm cultivator would probably not be able to wait any longer.
Xue Qing left with her previous appearance.
Mu Xiaoling put on her mask again. However, she stopped right before entering the cave. Now that the mechanism had been repaired, how was she supposed to enter?
"Follow me." Xue Qing walked over from the back and led the way with a cold expression.
Just when she wanted to leave, Xue Qing suddenly turned her head and said to her, "The mechanisms will change with time. It's useless to only remember one thing, and this forest is my sealed land. Without my permission, you will never be able to leave." With that, he left.
"…" Why did Mu Xiaoling feel that Xue Qing's words contained a trace of arrogance? However, the contract was her bottom line. It wasn't that she was extremely powerful. What she needed was a companion that could be handed over to her back.
There must be some other way to get out without the snow.
Mu Xiaoling thought for a moment. Perhaps he should find this method from someone else.
At this moment, Li Xiu Niang and the masked man walked over.
Li Xiu Niang's expression was ugly, but she still maintained her elegant demeanor. "I will definitely find those weapons, but it will only be for a period of time."
"You also know that this matter is not up to us to decide." The masked man continued walking as he said, "We still need the hall master's permission. Besides, we're not in the same hall, so hiding here isn't a problem."
"Then what can I do? If I go back now, I'm afraid I will lose my life." Li Xiu Niang's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked really pitiful.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have done it this way." The masked man stopped in front of Mu Xiaoling and looked at her curiously.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu Niang walked over and asked.
"Maybe I was wrong." The masked man shook his head and continued walking forward. "Let's head over quickly. The pavilion master should be getting impatient soon."
Mu Xiaoling lowered her head as her hands tightly gripped the dagger hidden in her sleeve. She silently waited for the two of them to leave. At that moment, she thought that she had been exposed.
"Wait." Li Xiu Niang suddenly called out to her.
Mu Xiaoling was about to leave when she heard this and had to stop her footsteps.
Li Xiuniang glanced at her indifferently, "Come with us. We'll need someone to serve tea and pour water when we get there."
Mu Xiaoling lowered her head and complied. She followed behind Li Xiuniang and the masked man. It would be good if they went over, but they might be able to obtain some clues. Even though it was a bit risky …
However, ever since she had arrived in this world, she had always been taking risks.
He would put his life on the line before he died.
Mu Xiaoling quietly followed Li Xiuniang to the third floor of the basement. It was a lavishly decorated hall with a carved stone chair on the highest step and a white-haired old man sitting on it. He was thin in appearance but carried a sense of majesty.
"Paying respect to the hall master!" Everyone bowed to him. Seeing this, Mu Xiaoling also cupped her hands in respect. She was no different from the others.
"Please excuse me." His name was Qi He, and he had been the hall master of Ran Xi Hall for over seventy years. He had seen through Li Xiuniang's plans with one glance, but he was too lazy to care about these trivial matters, "Lord Li Xiang, my Ran Xi Temple is small. If you've had enough of it, you should return quickly."
Li Xiuniang bowed gracefully, her voice soft and charming, "Hall Master, I have worshipped you since I was young. I only wish to serve the Western Tang Sect in the future. Please keep me."
Qi He was very satisfied with Li Xiuniang's words. "But if I accept you, I'm afraid there'll be a lot of trouble."
There was indeed trouble, and it was a huge problem.
Li Xiuniang bit her lower lip as her body trembled, looking delicate and touching. "As long as the hall master helps Xiuniang, Xiuniang is willing to serve the hall master closely, never abandoning him."
"Haha, I'm scared that I'll be taken care of by you." Qi He laughed heartily, but he did not take Li Xiuniang's words seriously. Who would not know that Li Xiuniang had practiced the technique of collecting nourishment?
Li Xiuniang clenched her teeth. She knew that if she did not show him some actual benefits, Qi He, this cunning old fox, would definitely not reveal her trump card, "I, Li Xiuniang, am in charge of this plan. 30% of the weapons are with me.
However, Mu Xiaoling caught the key word in his words – Heaven Stealing Plan.
The demons of this world wanted to steal the heavens!
Even though she had already confirmed the devil race's ambition, she couldn't help but be shocked. Just what trump card did these people have to confirm that their plan would succeed? After all, the forces of these seven countries weren't small and weren't easy to deal with.
"Haha, since Xiu Niang is so considerate, how can the West Tang reject talent?" Qi He laughed heartily, as if he was a completely different person.
The man wearing the mask suddenly turned around. "Since the matter has been settled, go pour us some tea. Today, we'll use tea in place of wine to drink a cup."
As soon as his words left his mouth, several pairs of eyes fell on Mu Xiaoling.
Mu Xiaoling lowered her head to accept the order and slowly turned around. Two smoke bullets instantly appeared in her hand and she ruthlessly threw them onto the ground.
The milky white mist filled the entire hall.
From the moment Mu Xiaoling entered, she knew that she had been exposed. It was just that these people didn't put her in their eyes and gave her an opportunity to escape.
"Little mouse's reaction is really fast." The masked man sneered, "To tell you the truth, in order to differentiate between guards, we would all add a number under our collars. Coincidentally, the owner of your clothes is my personal bodyguard, how could I not know what he is like?"
It could only be said that Mu Xiaoling's luck was bad and she coincidentally caught up with the original owner of the clothes.
Mu Xiaoling didn't pay any attention to him as she directly rushed toward the entrance of the main hall. At this moment, the masked man had already rushed behind her and struck her on her back with his palm.
