Seeing the old man’s hand inching closer to Xiao Yifei’s chest, while Xiao Yifei was still hanging in mid-air, held by his collar, just as the old man was about to touch the treasure map, his expression suddenly changed rapidly, from smugness to shock, and then to pain.
The old man suddenly knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, looking extrely uncomfortable. Xiao Yifei, freed from the old man’s grasp, was not surprised at all upon witnessing this scene, because he was the cause of all this.
Indeed, when the old man tried to take the treasure map, Xiao Yifei secretly pulled out a Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle from his pocket while the old man was distracted and shot it into the old man’s chest with a technique.
But the old man’s expression was not rely from being pricked by the needle; after struggling for a while, he suddenly spat out a black blood clot and began to cough violently. "What have you done?" the old man asked incredulously, looking at Xiao Yifei.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei straightened his clothes and then laughed, "I didn’t do anything, just guided the True Qi in your body a bit." Hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, the old man instantly understood what Xiao Yifei was talking about.
It turns out that Xiao Yifei had already noticed the side effects of the old man’s use of a secret technique, and he made good use of the True Qi generated by the side effects in the old man’s body. This was the only way Xiao Yifei could defeat the old man.
Xiao Yifei used the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle to guide the True Qi generated by the side effects into a collision with the True Qi absorbed by the old man. The collision of True Qi is extrely intense, and if it can unleash such terrifying power outside the body, imagine what it could do inside. If it weren’t for the suppression of the old man’s own body, the two strands of True Qi might have caused him to self-destruct.
So earlier, Xiao Yifei deliberately showed a flaw to let the old man get close because the acupuncture point for guiding needed to be very accurate. Therefore, Xiao Yifei waited until the old man got close to make his move, and fortunately, it succeeded.
At this mont, the True Qi within the old man’s body was fiercely battling, leaving no ti for him to worry about Xiao Yifei. Controlling the True Qi was exhausting enough, and if he had to also control the chaotic True Qi while distracted, the old man’s entire cultivation might be gone.
"Hmph, your secret technique doesn’t seem all that impressive," Xiao Yifei mocked. Upon hearing this, the old man’s brow furrowed, just as he was about to say sothing, another mouthful of blood spurted out, scaring the old man into silence as he focused on his internal condition. But how could Xiao Yifei allow the old man to recover?
Xiao Yifei walked slowly to the old man’s side, seeing the firm steps of Xiao Yifei, the old man finally beca fearful. Now, he even regretted having provoked Xiao Yifei in the first place, thinking that he shouldn’t have bothered him. The old man hurriedly pleaded with Xiao Yifei, "I was wrong, don’t kill ."
The old man’s begging deanor amused Xiao Yifei; earlier, when facing him, the old man was full of pride, but now he was groveling, which disgusted Xiao Yifei, as he especially despised such people.
Hearing the old man’s words, Xiao Yifei extended his hand, "If you knew this would happen, why did you start?" He muttered, and before the old man could say anything else, Xiao Yifei twisted his neck, leaving the old man’s terrified eyes forever frozen on his disgusting face.
Watching the old man’s body gradually go limp due to the broken neck, Xiao Yifei shook his head helplessly. He had seen many such people, and this outco didn’t evoke pity in him; it was their own fault. Flipping the old man’s body over, Xiao Yifei retrieved the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle he had just used.
Thanks to this Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Yifei was able to survive this ordeal and even kill the old man. Casually wiping the needle, Xiao Yifei tucked it back into his bosom, marking the end of this thrilling episode, completely over with the old man’s limp corpse.
It was still nightti, though technically early morning. The dim morning light slowly erged in the distance. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei let out a slow breath, finally relieved. Thinking about this, fatigue suddenly swept over his body. His figure swayed unsteadily, and he nearly fell to the ground.
The side effects of the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle finally beca apparent, and intense fatigue flooded into Xiao Yifei’s body. Every part of his body felt as if it had been hamred, soreness and exhaustion filled Xiao Yifei’s muscles, even his eyelids felt heavy.
"Better go rest first," Xiao Yifei murmured to himself. With sheer willpower, he moved his body slowly back to the room, and without hesitation, fell asleep on the bed, for all threats had been resolved by him.
The sky gradually brightened, and soon the sun was high in the sky, yet Xiao Yifei still hadn’t awakened. It wasn’t until another evening that Xiao Yifei awoke from his dreams. The first thing he did was to go outside the room to check the old man’s body, as in his dream, he saw the old man co back to life.
Given such a dream, it was understandable that Lin Xiaoyifei would do this first thing. But at that mont, the old man was still lying limp, and due to the sweltering heat, several flies were circling above his corpse. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel a bit sentintal; a Golden Elixir expert had fallen here, which was sowhat pitiful.
Touching the treasure map in his chest pocket, Xiao Yifei returned to his room relieved. It was already late, so he didn’t plan to leave at that ti. The main reason was that Xiao Yifei couldn’t understand the treasure map at all, so for now, he considered it a treasure map, although he wasn’t sure if it was one.
The map had many marked places, and it resembled a conventional map. The nurous mountains drawn left Xiao Yifei feeling dizzy, pondering it over, he decided to find other maps to compare after descending, like a map of the Southern Border, which might reveal so information.
With this thought, Xiao Yifei made up his mind and laid back down to rest.
As dawnlight glimred, taking advantage of the little light, Xiao Yifei hurried back. As for where Muyun’s mother lived, Xiao Yifei had no interest or energy to investigate; all he hoped now was to uncover the secrets on the parchnt.
The old man had previously taken Xiao Yifei to Muyun’s mother’s old residence, but it was too dilapidated, so Xiao Yifei didn’t really observe. He was initially very curious about what was in the old residence, as it might have so unknown clues if lucky.
But now Xiao Yifei was a bit wary of entering that village; the old man’s house was on the outskirts, so the commotion made went unnoticed, but in the village, it’s uncertain. If soone coveted the parchnt he held, it might be problematic.
