Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 76 Contradictions
On the road, the horse galloped.

Liu Ji was somewhat curious about what treasure Lu Qin had hidden that attracted the Wanxiang Sect and the demons to hunt her down, so she unwrapped the package.

There was a metal box inside, very exquisite.

Liu Ji opened it, and a stream of hot air came over her, causing Liu Ji's head to tilt back, and a beam of fire shot straight into the sky.

"Rare treasure?" Liu Ji murmured.

Li Fan in front sensed the movement, turned his head to look, and sent his consciousness over there, he saw a box containing a bright red flame bead, surrounded by an extremely strong fire aura, the grade of which was definitely not low, no wonder it attracted covetousness, and Commander Sun directly colluded with demons to snatch it.

There are many rare treasures in the world, and practitioners can use them directly to practice, improve their cultivation, and forge or strengthen their Dharma images and martial spirits.

"Do you want to absorb it?" Liu Ji asked Li Fan. She knew that Li Fan could absorb any attribute.

"No need." Li Fan said, "Put it away."

Miss Li practices the fire attribute, so you can give it to her.

As for himself, he already had enough swords on him, and he had enough demon pills from killing monsters along the way.

"Okay." Liu Ji closed the box and put it away, then opened the thing that the tiger demon gave to Xiao Mo of the Wanxiang Sect, which turned out to be a demon pill.

She couldn't help but reveal a strange look in her eyes and smiled sarcastically.

Humans give humans to monsters to eat, and monsters give humans monster pills?
Perfect closed loop!

The two men went down the mountain and continued to move forward, catching up with Han Zong and others on the way.

"Brother Xiaofan." Han Zong smiled when he saw that Li Fan was safe and sound. Then he saw the boy that Liu Ji was bringing and the package on Lu Qin.

It seems that Li Fan really killed Xiao Mo and his group from the Wanxiang Sect...

It is true that a man of great skill and courage can be found in him. The Wanxiang Sect is considered a large sect in Chuzhou, and Xiao Mo is the young master of the Wanxiang Sect. Li Fan does not shy away from letting them know about this.

Lü Qin did not come back...

Han Zong was thinking in his heart that Lü Qin was a realistic person who didn't know what was good for him. He might have been 'abandoned' by Li Fan, and the treasure now belonged to Li Fan.

He was tactful enough not to ask or even discuss the topic. Lu Qin was taken away by Xiao Mo as a prisoner.

At this time, the boy in front of Liu Ji woke up, and seeing his situation, he asked, "Where is my sister?"

Liu Ji looked at the boy with some sympathy and said, “Your sister almost gave up on you.”

"After you passed out, your sister was killed by a demon." Liu Ji said.

The boy was stunned, turned his head to look into the distance, shed tears, and then fell silent.

Yin Qing looked at the boy, then glanced at Li Fan, thinking what a cruel method.

Kill people and seize treasures.

However, he didn't dare say this out loud.

However, no one knows what the treasure is that attracts so many forces to covet it.

"Let's hurry up, we are still in the mountain king's territory." Han Zong said, speeding up his journey. He didn't know that all the monsters on the mountain had been killed.

Li Fan didn't say anything, and the group galloped along the way.

In the evening, a majestic city appeared in sight, with tall city walls standing in front.

Chuzhou City, the absolute center of Chuzhou, is where all the top families and wealthy families in Chuzhou gather. It is truly a place where powerful people are like clouds. More than half of the top figures in Chuzhou are in this city.

Li Fan looked up at the tall city wall, then rode his horse and entered the city with Han Zong and others.

The proportion of practitioners in Chuzhou City is much higher than that in Lin'an County. Many pedestrians on the road are cultivators. It is a place where elites gather. It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in this city and they can only be at the bottom of the society.

Even practitioners like Han Zong can only struggle for a living. It is easy to live an ordinary life, but if they want to go further, they need to take risks, so they walk in the wild and hunt demons.

Li Fan and his companions found an inn to stay in, and they had their meal in the inn's lobby.

The lobby was very lively. After ordering some food and drinks, Han Zong raised his glass to Li Fan and said, "A toast to Brother Xiaofan. It is my honor to meet you this time."

"You're welcome, Brother Han." Li Fan raised his glass in response.

Situ Chan beside him also raised her glass and drank it all, then asked with a smile, "What are your plans for the future, brother Xiaofan?"

"Brother Han and Sister Chan, do you know the Cui family in Chuzhou?" Li Fan asked.

"Cui family?" Han Zong showed a strange look and said, "If it's the most famous one, I know that there is a family with the surname Cui in Chuzhou, but the family is too high for us to reach. Brother Xiaofan came to Chuzhou City, could it be for the Cui family?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "I have a friend who is from the Cui family, and this trip can be considered as looking for her."

Han Zong nodded. Li Fan's identity was probably extraordinary, so it was normal for him to be good friends with the Cui family. This also confirmed their speculation that there might be a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm behind Li Fan.

The Cui family is one of the most powerful families in Chuzhou, with a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage in charge.

These top families controlled a large number of cultivation resources, which were far beyond the reach of independent cultivators like them.

"Is that friend a man or a woman?" Situ Chan asked with a smile.

"Female." Li Fan responded. Situ Chan's eyes suddenly became ambiguous. Li Fan was so handsome, with extraordinary talent and background. Could it be that he wanted to marry into the Cui family?

I don’t know which Miss Cui she is.

"I'm not familiar with Chuzhou City. Brother Han and Sister Chan, can you help me find out? My friend's name is Li Hongyi. She and her father should have come to Chuzhou City in the last one or two months." Li Fan said.

Han Zong and his people are from the underworld, so they must be better at this kind of thing.

"No problem, leave this matter to us. If Xiaofan's brother and friends return to the Cui family, I will definitely be able to find out." Han Zong agreed.

From this point on, Li Fan was their savior, and he would do his best to accomplish what Li Fan asked him to do.

"Also, can this child be taken care of?" Li Fan looked at Lu Qi beside him. He had already done his best by bringing him to Chuzhou City, and it was impossible for him to keep him with him.

"Leave it to me." Situ Chan said. She was better at this kind of thing.

"Okay." Li Fan nodded: "Thank you, Sister Chan."

"Brother Xiaofan, these may require some arrangements..." Yin Qing interrupted at the side. He had a smile on his face but felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Fan has killed so many monsters, and his body is full of monster pills. He has a high level of cultivation and a powerful background, so monster pills are not that important to him. But it is different for them.

Now that they have arrived in Chuzhou City, Li Fan not only did not give them the demon pills, but he also gave them orders this and that, which made Yin Qing very unhappy.

Li Fan looked at Yin Qing.

"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why do you need to take care of these trivial matters?" Before Li Fan could say anything, he heard Han Zong scolding him, saying that Yin Qing was being a little unreasonable.

Li Fan smiled. People are indeed different.

Han Zong is a generous and enthusiastic person, and Situ Chan is also bold and likes to joke, but Yin Qing is gloomy and calculating.

"Of course I won't let Brother Han and Sister Chan suffer." Li Fan took a sip of wine and did not do as Yin Qing wished. It would have been fine if he had hidden the demon pill on the road. If it weren't for Han Zong and Situ Chan's face, Li Fan would have settled the score with him long ago. He was actually pushing his luck.

Naturally, he couldn't give him this magic pill again.

Yin Qing understood the meaning of Li Fan's words and knew that the other party was dissatisfied with him, so he raised his glass to apologize: "I have no other intentions, please don't mind, brother Xiaofan, I will drink a glass as punishment."

Li Fan ignored him.

"Brother Xiaofan, let's get to work." Han Zong stood up and said. Li Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Han."

The group took Lu Qi with them and left the inn.

After leaving the inn, Han Zong's face was not looking good, Situ Chan also seemed to be worried, and Yin Qing had a gloomy expression.

In fact, the three of them had already had some grudges on the road. Han Zong and Situ Chan both knew about Yin Qing's hidden demon pill.

"Second brother, Brother Xiaofan is not an ordinary person, and he has saved our lives. You should stop being mean-spirited, lest you harm others and yourself." Han Zong's words were already a bit harsh.

Yin Qing's eyes became even colder. Is he a mean person?

"We have been traveling together. When you met him, you didn't know he was extraordinary. You were kind enough to take him with you. Isn't this enough to share the happiness?" Yin Qing said, "He is so good. He kept all the demon pills for himself. Giving us a few pills is like alms."

"Second brother, if you think so, our brotherhood will probably come to an end." Han Zong's voice also became a little colder. Although he was generous, he also knew right from wrong. They had experienced danger together and came together in the past, but if they had different ideals, they would not work together.

Yin Qing lowered his head, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.

Han Zong spoke nicely, but I'm afraid he wanted to climb up the ladder. Seeing that he made Li Fan unhappy, he wanted to get rid of him and take the magic pill for himself?

Moreover, Li Fan promised not to treat Han Zong and Situ Chan unfairly, and the two of them were also flirting with each other... Thinking of this, Yin Qing suppressed his anger and said, "Brother, we have been friends for many years, why did it come to this? Since you don't like it, I won't have this idea anymore."

"That would be best." Han Zong said, "I'll go get the news, and you go settle Lu Qi down, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to take care of some things." Yin Qing replied, and the three of them went their separate ways.

Yin Qing rode his horse through the city, his eyes becoming more and more vicious, the anger in his heart difficult to contain, and he was becoming more and more evil.

"Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Yin Qing said coldly. He was already tired of the days of living on the edge of a knife, and this time he just wanted to seek a public office.

Situ Chan got on the horse with Lu Qi, his eyes filled with worry. He glanced at the direction where Yin Qing left. Women are more sensitive, and she also knows Yin Qing's character. She is deep-minded and more selfish. After this incident, the three of them might have to go their separate ways.

"Sister, where are you sending me?" Lu Qi asked at this time.

Situ Chan came back to her senses and asked, "I'll find a family for you to settle down in. Which family do you want me to send you to?"

"I want to follow Brother Xiaofan." Lu Qi said.

Situ Chan was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Brother Xiaofan saved me from the tiger demon and killed the demons and bad guys on the mountain. I want to follow him." Lu Qi responded.

"Tiger demon?" Situ Chan asked Lu Qi, "You mean, Li Fan saved you from the tiger demon and killed those demons?"

"Yeah." Lu Qi responded. Situ Chan took a deep breath, feeling extremely uneasy.

Tiger demon, the great demon of the four realms.

If Yin Qing had any ill intentions, he would probably be courting death!
