Lin Xiao had insisted on going alone, clearly fearing that Li Pengcheng had set a trap, waiting to catch him in one fell swoop. Fear is a normal emotion, but in Li Pengcheng's view, Lin Xiao's actions were those of a coward. "You all wait here, I'll be back shortly," he said. Lin Xiao might have been afraid, but Li Pengcheng was not. He made his way to the Hehuan Sect's residence alone. "Big brother Lin, do you think Li Pengcheng might be plotting something? Why else would he suddenly find us out of the blue?" "Exactly, in my opinion, there must definitely be a scheme. That Li Xiaoyao is closely related to the Li Family; can his seeking us out possibly bode well?" one person said with a sneer. Lin Xiao fiddled with his Storage Ring, pondering for a moment. He was also puzzled and baffled. Normally, when he acted on behalf of the Shenjian Sect to trouble Li Xiaoyao, Elder Li Yiming had stepped forward to support Li Xiaoyao. It would seem that Li Xiaoyao should be very close to the Li Family, and it was even possible that this Li Xiaoyao was a member of the Li Family. Given this, why would Li Pengcheng suddenly seek him out? And to discuss important matters, no less—it was utterly unreasonable. "Big brother Lin Xiao, he's here," someone beside him said. Lin Xiao looked up and indeed saw Li Pengcheng approaching alone. "Brother Li, long time no see. I hope you have been well." Regardless of the reason for Li Pengcheng's visit, both parties were part of the eight sects of Xuan Country, and the proper courtesies couldn't be neglected. Li Pengcheng mustered a slight smile, stepped forward, and greeted with a clasped fist, "Brother Lin's aura is more Condensed than ever. I presume your cultivation level must be nearing the Golden Core Realm?" "Ha-ha, far from it. The Golden Core Realm is too distant for me right now. On the contrary, as I see Brother Li moving with the vigor of dragons and tigers, I would guess your own cultivation level has made substantial progress." The two exchanged pleasantries and flattery. "Brother Lin, might we talk in private over there?" Li Pengcheng glanced at the other disciples of the Hehuan Sect, his intention clear. Lin Xiao had asked him to come alone, and he had complied. If he couldn't even dare to talk in private now, then Li Pengcheng felt there was no point in discussing certain matters with him. Without even that much courage, what was there to talk about cooperation? "Alright, let's move over there," Lin Xiao nodded and walked away with Li Pengcheng. After moving two hundred meters away, Lin Xiao asked, "What is it that Brother Li wishes to discuss with me?" Li Pengcheng, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke slowly, "I've heard that the elders of the Hehuan Sect have ordered you to assassinate Li Xiaoyao; I wonder if this is true." A look of gravity flashed across Lin Xiao's face. He laughed dryly, saying, "Did the Sixth Elder say that? I don't remember." Li Pengcheng ignored his feigned ignorance and stated plainly, "Brother Lin need not guard against me, you should know, you and I are in the same boat." "In the same boat?" Lin Xiu looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" Li Pengcheng smiled slightly and said, "Because we share a common enemy." "You..." Lin Xiu's brows immediately furrowed, "What do you mean?" "Let's not speak in riddles," Li Pengcheng turned around, facing him squarely, his face suddenly suffused with murderous intent, speaking word by word, "You want to kill Li Xiaoyao, and I also want to kill Li Xiaoyao." "Why should I believe you?" "What reason would I have to deceive you?" "If you're trying to use this opportunity to gang up and set a trap for me, how would I know?" Inherently cautious by nature, Lin Xiao wouldn't readily trust anyone. Moreover, Li Pengcheng's words were hard to believe. Elder Li Yiming had risked offending the Hehuan Sect to support Li Xiaoyao, yet now, Li Pengcheng was saying he wanted to kill Li Xiaoyao? He could never believe that there was no deceit in it. Li Pengcheng slightly frowned. He had indeed overlooked this point. Indeed, coming to talk to Lin Xiao with such intent was too obvious. After much deliberation, Li Pengcheng decided to reveal some information. "Li Xiaoyao is my elder brother." "Your elder brother?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a few seconds before revealing a sneer, "Brother Li, if you're looking to pick a fight, at least find a better excuse. Everyone knows you are the only son of the Li Family. Where did this 'elder brother' suddenly pop up from some obscure corner?" "If you've been paying attention to recent big events, you should have heard about something that happened a while ago." "Ling City's Master Li, slaying Li Shisan." Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "I have indeed heard about this." "The one who killed Li Shisan was this Li Xiaoyao?" "My father had a relationship with a woman thirty years ago, and Li Xiaoyao was born during that time." In order to gain Lin Xiao's trust, Li Pengcheng there and then detailed his past with that woman and how Li Xiaoyao returned to the Li Family. If Lin Xiao began with half-belief and half-doubt, then after listening to his explanation, he completely believed him. A lie needs to be covered with more lies. Li Pengcheng spoke in such detail, and many facts simply could not be fabricated. It would not be possible to construct such detailed lies in a short period of time. "It seems, indeed, that we have grounds for a potential collaboration." "But how can we find Li Xiaoyao? The Human Realm is vast. If he intentionally hides or flees, even for us, finding him won't be easy." Li Pengcheng smiled confidently, "Leave that to me. If I dared to come discuss cooperation with you, of course I have a plan." "Oh? I'm listening." "This plan…" … "Eh? What's going on here?" Li Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes, looking ahead. There used to be two presences there, but now, he could only sense one. "Probably put away the jade token," was the only reasonable explanation. Without giving it much thought, Li Xiaoyao led the group on their way. They were about fifty kilometers from that presence, and at their current pace, it would take at least three hours. Li Xiaoyao did not venture alone; he did not trust the disciples of the Xuan Sect. Even with their numbers, these disciples of the Xuan Sect, with their cultivation levels, would still be somewhat in danger in the current situation when it came to self-preservation. … Li Pengcheng and Lin Xiao came to an agreement. At the end, Lin Xiao said, "If this Li Xiaoyao's physical cultivation is really as formidable as rumored, then we might need to enlist more help." "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Lin with this matter, as I shouldn't speak too much about my own issues," Li Pengcheng said, his eyes holding a deep meaning as he looked at him. Lin Xiao understood his implication. The infighting among the Li Family Clan was something that, if only he knew, could be used for leverage in the future. Should too many find out, it wouldn't be a secret anymore and thus would lose its value. "I have good relationships with both the Long Family and the Luo Family. As for the other sects, it will be up to luck. But rest assured, I can at least pull in two families to help," Lin Xiao said confidently. "Then I'm very grateful to Brother Lin," Li Pengcheng managed a smile. In his view, this matter was as good as settled, and the end for Li Xiaoyao was conclusively near.
