When the Illusion Woman woke up, it was in an open space, and as soon as she realized her situation, her entire expression changed.
A huge elephant’s foot was suspended above her head, yet to fall.
"Tell what you know."
A light voice ca from behind, and she saw Xu Guang sitting with interest on a flat green stone, watching her.
"You..."
The Illusion Woman’s expression turned strange. Despite her life being in soone else’s hands, oddly, the fear in her eyes disappeared.
Replaced by an inexplicable excitent.
Xu Guang was sowhat speechless. Does this woman have a screw loose or a psychological issue?
"Why did you co to kill ?"
Seeing the Illusion Woman not speaking, Xu Guang asked again.
The woman stared at Xu Guang with a strange and odd look.
Suddenly, she twisted her body excitedly, speaking in an extrely peculiar tone, "The aura on you..."
"So thrilling!"
Swoosh!~
The Slaying Buddha unsheathed, and the Illusion Woman’s arm fell to the ground.
Imdiately, the heart-wrenching screams echoed in the valley, lingering for a long ti.
The Illusion Woman shivered all over, appearing more excited than in pain.
In Xu Guang’s heart, it was certain that this woman must have a ntal illness.
Xu Guang’s expression was indifferent, "Your expression is very unpleasant."
He hated such psychologically twisted people; it was incomprehensible to him.
If not for the fact that the Truth-telling Pill was ineffective, he wouldn’t want to say another word to the Illusion Woman.
After a while, the Illusion Woman stopped screaming, her expression beca confused, "If I say I’m not the Illusion Woman, would you believe ?"
Xu Guang said nothing, walking toward her, his hand powerfully fluctuating.
"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you, it’s the Left Envoy’s order to kill you, under Marquis Hei’s command, with and Kui Snake assisting."
Marquis Hei?
Xu Guang recalled the information sent by Ou Nanyu.
He didn’t know much about this Marquis Hei; the person was rather mysterious, or perhaps acted decisively, with few witnesses and no outstanding feats.
However, there were rumors claiming that this person was also a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster.
"Where is Shi Moyun?"
Unexpectedly, upon asking this question, the Illusion Woman started acting mad again.
Xu Guang couldn’t bear it anymore; General Wei’s foot ca down, turning the Illusion Woman into mush.
Imdiately, both man and elephant retreated quickly, carefully observing the pile of mush.
It was only after confirming that the Illusion Woman was truly dead that he finally relaxed.
Yu Rong’s sudden revival left a deep shadow in his heart.
This Illusion Woman seed more dangerous than Kui Snake, perhaps because of the influence of so old monster possessing her.
"Two assassins down..."
"Only the strongest, Marquis Hei, remains..."
Xu Guang touched General Wei’s long trunk, a mocking smile on his lips.
"I’m waiting for you to co kill ."
This journey to Southern Sichuan is to establish prestige, but given the unfamiliar territory, he didn’t want to reveal all his strength, wanting to preserve so trump cards, such as his terrifying combat power when unified with General Wei.
He felt that with the strength of himself and General Wei, even without the Elephant Master skills, killing Marquis Hei shouldn’t be difficult.
It’s worth noting that neither the Illusion Woman nor Kui Snake bore any traces of the Celestial Register.
Xu Guang was sowhat disappointed; he wanted to test if General Wei could refine the Celestial Register.
From this, it seed that the Celestial Register was quite precious; even the Innate ones in the Celestial Destiny Sect didn’t necessarily have it.
He wondered how Wei Shuangnian managed to obtain the Celestial Register.
Xu Guang was curious.
...
Returning to the team once more gave Xu Guang relief; the people of the Celestial Destiny Sect hadn’t taken action against them.
This was expected, after all, even Xu Guang in their eyes was just a small fry, used for establishing dominance, easily killed. Such a person from a remote small county might not even pique their interest.
"Are you alright?"
Wu Fengqin was the first to step forward and asked.
Xu Guang shook his head, his gaze searching the crowd.
He didn’t see Li Shun’s figure.
"Where’s Li Shun?"
Wu Fengqin, who had already noticed this, whispered, "After you called for a stop this morning, he followed you out."
"However, we found a skinless corpse behind."
Xu Guang nodded, understanding in his heart, yet pondering when the Illusion Woman replaced Li Shun.
He called so people to retrieve Li Shun’s corpse and skin, dug a pit, and buried it.
That matter was thus laid to rest.
Xu Guang wanted to offer comfort, but seeing the others’ expressions, they seed accustod to such events, recovering quickly from grief.
This was the daily life in turbulent tis, especially for those like them, living day by day, with low Martial Arts cultivation.
Xu Guang said nothing more, just glancing at Du Shizhen, wondering if he, being the youngest, could take this in stride.
But he didn’t intervene, as it was Du Shizhen’s matter. As long as he didn’t beco deranged like the Illusion Woman, Xu Guang wouldn’t interfere.
Perhaps Marquis Hei hadn’t yet received news of the Illusion Woman and Kui Snake’s deaths, as three whole days passed.
The team had already moved out of Songjiang Prefecture without encountering an ambush.
Xu Guang felt quite emotional about this; even people in the Demon Dao had brains.
However, he remained vigilant, as Marquis Hei’s delayed action likely ant he was waiting for a perfect opportunity; Xu Guang needed to stay on guard.
In addition to remaining vigilant, a happy event occurred.
Xu Guang had successfully condensed the Visualization Image for "Wind-Driven Separating Fire Force." This was a great advancent. With a little more ti, this cultivation technique would be considered mastered.
