Time flies without realizing that an hour has passed just like that. The three of them were still hiding in the distance to see whether Elder Li Yuan would come.
Not long after, Tang Ji was seen moving towards the Cottage, and behind him was a middle-aged man who wore a serious expression from time to time.
"Hong-Ji, is it true what you say that you have caught the boy named Lin Xian?" Elder Li Yuan asked.
He didn't know Tang Ji's first name and only knew Hong-Ji, the partner he often used to exterminate someone for not too high a fee. That was why Elder Li Yuan had agreed to come along, although he was still Alert. He knew that bounty hunters were not someone to be trusted because service tenants were often killed.
"Are you not sure about me? When did I complete the mission you gave me in failure?" Tang Ji asked, displeased.
Elder Li Yuan was speechless because it was true that Tang Ji always did a clean job and never left any evidence that he was the one who hired Tang Ji. But one thing that makes the current situation awkward, according to him. He naturally knew where Tang Ji took him; that was the ruins of the Tang Clan that had perished at the hands of the Li Clan.
"If you do anything suspicious, you will die Hong-Ji!" Elder Li Yuan thought because, of course, he had a special plan to guard against being attacked suddenly.
"Here!" Tang Ji stopped at a small cottage that had an ordinary courtyard. He glanced in a certain direction and knew that his two comrades had set a trap.
"Hmmm, I don't sense any signs of someone's Qi emitting in there." Elder Li Yuan spoke with a frown on his forehead. He also turned to Tang Ji for an explanation.
"I have immobilized the boy so that no radiance of Qi can be felt. You must understand what I mean!" Tang Ji replied.
Elder Li Yuan gave a small nod. It was true that he would not be able to track someone without Qi. All sentient beings have it, even in small amounts, because they don't cultivate it. However, when one became paralyzed, it was already a different story.
"Come on in. I don't know what you want from that kid to put such a high price on his head. Because of that, I didn't kill him; I think you must be looking for something from that kid. If I kill him, you won't want to pay me." Tang Ji said, glancing at Elder Li Yuan as he walked slowly.
"You know exactly how I am. Of course, I wouldn't want to pay if there was no benefit for me!" Elder Li Yuan replied with a snort.
Tang Ji no longer spoke and led Elder Li Yuan to the hut.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Lin Xian, Tang Kong, and Tang Kuan were getting ready to make their move if the trap was activated.
Lin Xian glanced at Elder Li Yuan intently to find out when he had met him. After looking back, he immediately realized that there was a young man he had met at the Zou family residence, resembling Elder Li Yuan.
"It seems he is related to that young man. Wait a minute, didn't Tang Kong say that they got information about what Li Yuan has from his nephew named Li Tian? It all makes sense now because that person must have told me what I look like." Lin Xian thought.
"Lin Xian, get ready. We will make our move as soon as the trap activates!" Tang Kong said and took out his gun. Likewise, Tang Kuan did the same.
Lin Xian nodded slightly and took out the Villain Blood Sword as well. This was only in anticipation that Tang Ji couldn't kill Elder Li Yuan in one strike. The three would launch a full-out attack if Tang Ji failed to kill Elder Li Yuan.
"System, check all the surrounding areas as far as possible!" Lin Xian ordered in his mind.
[Smart Analysis!]
[In nearly 30 meters of Tang Ji and Li Yuan, there are two individuals with a Cultivation level of Earth Realm Fourth Stage hiding]
The system's reply made Lin Xian's eyes widen. He now understood that Elder Li Yuan would not blindly believe Tang Ji taking him away.
Crack!
Zhep! Zhep! Zhep!
Several chains shot up from the ground and lunged toward Elder Li Yuan.
Elder Li Yuan was shocked and knew that Tang Ji had framed him by taking him to a deserted place. He did bring two of his underlings; however, he didn't know if he had the time to block Tang Ji if he wanted to kill him If he fell into a trap.
Elder Li Yuan was immediately enveloped in extremely strong chains. He knew it would take less than 10 seconds to break the flowing chains with a moderately Strong Qi.
"What does this mean, Hong Ji?" Elder Li Yuan asked very coldly.
Before Tang Ji could reply, Lin Xian's shout sounded extremely powerful from a distance as he, along with Tang Kong and Tang Kuan, moved.
"Tang Ji! Kill him! Two cultivators are closing in on you!" Lin Xian shouted with all his might which stunned Tang Ji.
Tang Ji wasted no time and directly removed the sword from his Space Ring and swung it towards Elder Li Yuan's neck as hard as possible.
Zhep!
The flying sword shot toward Tang Ji, who was trying to stop him.
Seeing this, Lin Xian also threw down the Villain Blood Sword in his hand. However, Lin Xian's target was not the sword because he was sure that Tang Ji would be able to dodge it.
"Tang Ji! Dodge!" Tang Kong and Tang Kuan shouted at the same time.
Tang Ji, who heard it, immediately jumped backward.
Strains!
When Tang Ji dodged, which saw a sword swinging near his neck. If he hadn't dodged, his neck would have been severed. He was sweating slightly as he did not expect Elder Li Yuan to bring his underlings.
Jleb!
"Arghhhh!"
A cry of pain rang out from Elder Li Yuan's direction, which startled Tang Ji. He also looked at the current Elder Li Yuan, who was already covered in quite a lot of blood around his left arm.
At this time, it could be seen that in the muscle of Elder Lin Yuan's left arm, a red sword was already lodged, which was Lin Xian's Villain Blood Sword.
"Elder Li Yuan!" Two individuals shouted as they landed near Elder Li Yuan.
Tang Kong and Tang Kuan were surprised by Lin Xuan's move to injure Elder Li Yuan. Their plan was thwarted by the two cultivators from the Demon Sword Sect.
Tap!
Lin Xian, Tang Kong, and Tang Kuan arrived at Tang Ji's side while looking at Elder Li Yuan, who had been released from the chains.
Elder Li Yuan withdrew the Villain Blood Sword from his arm and tossed it aside, not having time to appraise Lin Xian's weapon.
