Chapter 518: Li Pengcheng's Plan [Fifth Update, For Heaven Knows More]



Li Pengcheng's method was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, using the blades of the Shenjian Sect and the Hehuan Sect. Didn't both the Hehuan Sect and the Shenjian Sect want to kill Li Xiaoyao and be done with it? It would be perfect to leverage their strength, look for an opportunity, and then when a flaw was found, strike down Li Xiaoyao in one fell swoop. But if it was in front of them, then he would avoid using force if possible, and even if he did make a move, it would have to be from the shadows. Otherwise, once the news of the Li Family members killing each other got out, not to mention how outsiders would perceive the situation, just getting past his father Li Chengfeng would be an insurmountable obstacle. ... Li Xiaoyao successively found five people, and fortune was on his side, as all five turned out to be disciples of the Xuan Sect. The team grew stronger as they traveled, encountering numerous cultivators who all took detours when they saw them. As for the demon beasts they met, Li Xiaoyao typically didn't take action immediately, leaving it to the Xuan Sect disciples to decide whether to handle them themselves or leave them for Li Xiaoyao. They encountered seven demon beasts along the way, of which five were dealt with by the Xuan Sect disciples, while the remaining two were slain by Li Xiaoyao. There was no day or night in the Human Realm; without clocks, it was extremely difficult to sense the passage of time. This place was only open for ten days, after which the Human Realm would close. Therefore, in the first nine days, it was rare to encounter battles between different sects. In these nine days, everyone would search for their fellow sect members, frantically hunting demon beasts, and then on the last day, they would look for sect forces weaker than themselves to snatch the demon beasts from their hands. This situation had almost become an unspoken rule. It was around what would be considered nighttime, but the sky was still bright—everyone sat together in a circle. By then, Li Xiaoyao had found all the Xuan Sect disciples through the jade tablets, along with six other members of the Li Family. If Li Pengcheng's trio was excluded, there were still six Li Family members unaccounted for. Under Li Xiaoyao's sensing, the remaining six were scattered in different directions, and to search for them one by one would likely take an entire day. Shaking his head, Li Xiaoyao still decided to focus on one direction and slowly make his way there. Now that all the Xuan Sect disciples were gathered, although he couldn't sense the jade tablets of Li Pengcheng's trio, Li Xiaoyao knew that they probably had put away their tablets, obviously not wanting him to find them. The only one left was Li Tu; he just needed to find Li Tu, and that would be enough. As for the remaining members of the Li Family, whether they were dead or alive, it really didn't matter much to Li Xiaoyao because he simply didn't care about these people's well-being. To put it nicely, they were all members of the Li Family; to be blunt, the blood ties between these members of the Li Family and Li Xiaoyao had likely already become as thin as those of strangers. "Uncle Li, who is that young lady? She doesn't seem to be from the Li Family," Yun Tianyu asked, his eyes fixed on Nangong Ling'er, as Li Xiaoyao clearly caught a hint of admiration in his gaze. Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Nangong Ling'er." "Nangong Ling'er? From the Nangong Family of Xuan Country!" Yun Tianyu immediately associated her with the family. "Hmm." A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yun Tianyu's face—he had entertained the thought of pursuing her, only to realize that she belonged to one of the Eight Great Sects' families of Xuan Country, with a chasm as wide as the heavens separating them. While they were talking, several of the Li Family members suddenly approached, their faces all carrying an air of superiority as they said, "We heard that Big Brother Pengcheng arrived and then left again, where did he go?" Li Xiaoyao glanced at the speaking family member, whose attitude was far from pleasant, but Li Xiaoyao still held back and pointed in the direction Li Pengcheng had left, saying, "Over there." Turning to the others, the family member said, "Let's go." The six Li Family members showed no attachment, not even a word of thanks to Li Xiaoyao for bringing them together, they simply turned and left. Yun Tianyu snorted and said, "Uncle Li, these people are really too much." "Those who are arrogant tend to not achieve much," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently. "Go rest for now, we will continue our journey in ten minutes." "Are we going to look for the remaining members of the Li Family?" Yun Tianyu actually hoped that Li Xiaoyao would stop searching. Gathering all the Li Family members together was a significant advantage for the Li Family Clan. The difference between the strength of one person and that of fifteen is fundamental. But how did the Li Family members repay Li Xiaoyao? They repaid kindness with ingratitude! Yun Tianyu knew that Li Xiaoyao was not a man of good temperament, so why, facing the Li Family members with such attitudes, did he still offer support? Was it simply because he was also a Li Family member? Li Xiaoyao shook his head, his gaze distant, and said, "I am going to find a friend." ... Four hours later, the six clan members who had left Li Xiaoyao's side finally regrouped with Li Pengcheng. At that moment, there were twelve clan members by Li Pengcheng's side, including the six who had just arrived, as well as three others they had found. Generally, within about four hours of entering the Human Realm, all clan members from various Sects could be gathered to some extent. If there were still clan members not found after twelve hours, then it was likely that they had met with some misfortune. "Tiancai, Liangren, come with me," Li Pengcheng called out to the two, then turned and walked towards a clearing, obviously having important matters to discuss with them. "What is it, Big Brother Pengcheng?" Li Pengcheng fidgeted with the exquisite dagger in his hand and said, "The two of you, go and make contact with Hehuan Sect. Tell the leader of Hehuan Sect that I have important matters to discuss with him." "Hehuan Sect?" Li Liangren paused, confused, and asked, "Big Brother Pengcheng, what business do we have with Hehuan Sect?" "If we want to kill Li Xiaoyao, Hehuan Sect will be a great help," Li Pengcheng did not hide his intentions. The two were taken aback and wanted to ask more, but Li Pengcheng waved his hand and said, "Enough, don't ask more. Just go." "Okay." Hehuan Sect was about three kilometers away from them, not too far. Along the way, Li Pengcheng followed them from a distance. Watching the two leaving, Li Pengcheng's gaze shifted, turning to Li Tu who was meditating with his eyes closed. They had encountered Li Tu on the road while he was fighting a Demon Beast. However, Li Tu's Cultivation Level was too low, and he was being suppressed by the Demon Beast. After Li Pengcheng found them, he intervened and killed the Demon Beast. Looking at his figure, a sinister smile emerged on Li Pengcheng's face, and a vile plan took shape in his heart. Half an hour later, Li Liangren and the other returned. "How did it go?" Li Pengcheng asked. The two shook their heads, Li Liangren frowning as he said, "Lin Xiao agreed to meet, but he insists that you must go alone." Li Tiancai added, "Big Brother Pengcheng, I think Lin Xiao definitely has a trick up his sleeve; it's better not to go." However, Li Pengcheng merely smiled slightly, unworried, his tone laced with disdain, "Hehuan Sect's Lin Xiao, cowardly as a mouse." [I still owe you three more updates, god knows when.]
