Chapter 5
The Counter-Kill Scheme
Li Yijian casually wiped away the divine sense imprint on them. Without even looking, he threw them directly to Qi Feifei, laughing, "I'll have to trouble Feifei to calculate and distribute them. It's almost time to part ways, and I want to say a few more words to Worthy Nephew Lei."
Qi Feifei held the three storage bracelets whose divine sense had been wiped, obediently going to the side to calculate.
Meanwhile, Li Yijian looked at Lei Dong with a somewhat complex expression, transmitting his voice, "Worthy Nephew, since we are about to part, Uncle Li will say a few words from the bottom of my heart. Don't blame me for being tempted by your peak-grade spiritual artifact just now. You understand many things; this world is one where the strong prey on the weak. The best way to maintain a relationship between two people is to never give others the chance to betray you. You did the right thing just now."
"Uncle Li, everyone has greed." Lei Dong also smiled and transmitted his voice, "However, whether one is tempted or not, as long as one does not take action, it is fine. This Lei does not blame Uncle Li at all; on the contrary, I must thank Uncle Li for showing mercy."
"You kid, sigh." Li Yijian could not help but laugh through voice transmission, then sighed, "If only you were my disciple. Unfortunately, none of the disciples under my sect are up to much. Wan Gui is truly blessed."
"Uncle Li, although this nephew is not your disciple..." Lei Dong replied with a respectful face, "However, if Uncle Li has any instructions, this nephew will go through fire and water without regret. But this nephew has always believed in one saying: whoever treats this nephew well, this nephew will treat them ten times better. Whoever wants to deal with this nephew, then this nephew..."
Li Yijian felt a bit embarrassed and slightly annoyed as he said, "You kid, stop teasing Uncle Li. How about this, we will divide it 4:4:2 later, and this Li will give you two shares, alright? Don't mention those things again in the future."
"In the future, this nephew will only remember that Uncle Li was good to this nephew." Lei Dong replied solemnly. Having said that, he began to consult him, "Uncle Li, I have been out for a long time and haven't seen my master in ages. I have a few minor questions regarding cultivation, and I would like to ask Uncle Li for some guidance."
"There's no need to speak of guidance. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of the Tianjian Sect, I will naturally tell you everything I know." Li Yijian felt that Lei Dong had a very bright future and wanted to take advantage of his youth to lower his stance and build a good relationship with him. Especially after hearing Qi Feifei praise Lei Dong everywhere as a man who strictly kept his promises, Li Yijian's goodwill toward him had doubled. This time, hearing about that peak-grade spiritual artifact, he was merely slightly tempted, which was only human nature.
Lei Dong was not polite either, raising each of his cultivation problems. Li Yijian was indeed a powerhouse at the Golden Core Patriarch level; many of Lei Dong's questions received answers from him.
Some long-standing doubts were easily resolved, causing him to drop a few points of disdain toward him and add a few points of respect.
Through his subtle inquiries and some tactical questions, Lei Dong also understood more or less why he could not escape the Heart Demon. The standard of the Heart Demon Hall requiring one to be no older than thirty was not without reason. The longer a person lived, the more desires and stray thoughts they had in their hearts. As a person of two worlds, from the perspective of psychological age, Lei Dong had already lived for a very long time. In addition, Lei Dong's obsessions were heavy, and his stray thoughts were numerous.
However, having undergone the baptism of the Heart Demon in the Heart Demon Hall this time, Lei Dong also obtained great benefits. Not only did it make his mind even more steadfast and difficult to deceive, but it also significantly reduced the probability of encountering bottlenecks in the future. Otherwise, with Lei Dong's spiritual root aptitude, the further he went, the more bottlenecks he would encounter. He would even frequently encounter bottlenecks within the same layer. After passing through the Heart Demon Hall, it would bring many benefits, ultimately slowing down these bottlenecks.
While the two were chatting happily, Qi Feifei had finished inventorying the spoils of war this time. With a face full of smiles, she said, "Elder Li, Senior Brother Lei, the harvest this time is huge. Those two Foundation Establishment cultivators combined had assets of over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. On the other hand, that cultivator from the Mayu Sect is truly a fat sheep."
"Of course he is a fat sheep; that old fellow is the purchaser for the Mayu Sect." Lei Dong chuckled, "Since he participated in the auction this time, he must have brought enough Spirit Stones. Inside Tiandao City, I couldn't strip him of them, but once out the door, in this wilderness..."
Lei Dong had long guessed based on deduction and some clues that the one tailing him to the end was definitely that old fellow from the Mayu Sect, so he had devised a counter-kill plan. Lei Dong believed that by joining forces with Qi Feifei, defeating that old fellow from the Mayu Sect would definitely not be a problem. But the problem lay in the lack of certainty that they could keep him there. Therefore, when bidding farewell at the headquarters of the Tiandao Alliance, he dragged Li Yijian into the water as well.
Normally, Li Yijian would not needlessly provoke the purchaser of the Mayu Sect. Although he also knew that a purchaser from a major sect participating in an auction would be very wealthy. He was tempted, but he was no fool. However, after Lei Dong's analysis, he was moved. Lei Dong's scheme was not complicated; it was simply to use himself and Qi Feifei as bait to lure the opponent out of the city, and then have Li Yijian strike to eliminate him.
Of course, before the battle began, Qi Feifei would naturally use some Harmonizing Yin Talismans to record the causes and consequences of this matter. The consequences of killing would be borne by the two of them, which was the most fundamental reason why Li Yijian decided to conveniently make this trip.
Lei Dong had also calculated very clearly. Qi Feifei would take the Harmonizing Yin Talisman to the Yinsha Sect to find his master, and his master would naturally know how to handle this matter. Since you, the Mayu Sect, played the game of murder and pillage for treasures, could it be that you won't allow my disciple to counterattack? Regarding this matter, the Yinsha Sect and the Hehuan Sect held the moral high ground and would certainly strive to resolve this matter properly based on reason, completely sparing him from worry. Furthermore, his performance in the Heart Demon Hall would surely be transmitted to his master through Dongfang Fu. Seeing that his disciple had such a bright future, his master would naturally demand justice for him from the sect.
Two top-tier sects fighting one, and the Mayu Sect was the party in the wrong; it would be difficult for them not to accept it. Between top-tier sects, many times, it was often just a fight for a bit of face.
