"Haven't you heard of the legendary achievements of the banished immortal?"

Someone couldn't help but ask aloud, after all, this person actually thought that the Immortal's combat strength was not good, which really opened his eyes.

Meanwhile, Li Wangxian, who was quietly drinking tea in the teahouse and listening to everyone's praise, raised his head and looked at this person.

Chapter 167 Hostility

Li Wangxian raised her head and looked at the young male cultivator.

At this moment, his expression was calm and seemingly unmoved. After all, he was an immortal, not someone who held grudges.

Would a young man with little experience deliberately make things difficult for others?

Stop joking!

After staring at the other party for a few seconds and guessing that the other party might be a cultivator from Zhongzhou, or even possibly have a past relationship with the Twin Kings, Li Wangxian didn't bother to make a move.

He's just a young cultivator at the Fourth Extreme Realm. As a Saint Lord-level figure, he should still have some composure.

However, he was unwilling to stoop to the other party's level, but the young male cultivator seemed to get angry after being looked at strangely by everyone.

"It's laughable. It's just a matter of defeating older generations of figures by crossing a few realms. Which of the younger generation of kings can't do that?"

The young man was indignant. He had vaguely heard about the Immortal's achievements, but as he said, the younger generation of kings had similar achievements in crossing several realms to fight against immortals.

Even many young, prodigies at the Saintly level can fight across two or three minor realms.

Therefore, in his view, the banished immortal is only able to shock the Eastern Wilderness because of his profound cultivation.

However, if we're really talking about combat strength at the same level, he thinks that the Immortal is not as good as the king of the younger generation. His cultivation level improved so quickly in the early stages, so his foundation must not be deep. Perhaps he can dominate the younger generation now.

However, in the future, he may be stuck at the critical juncture of severing the Dao and unable to get past it. When the younger generation of Wang Xiuwei catches up, he is destined to become just another face in the crowd!

Therefore, he bluntly said in public: "I'm not making this up, but the Immortal only benefits from the speed of cultivation. He is naturally very strong now, but if the true invincible kings of the younger generation catch up, the Immortal will have no choice but to retreat in disgrace. Otherwise, the consequences will not be good, and he may become a stepping stone for others to rise!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the area.

"He really dares to say that!" someone said with extreme dissatisfaction, feeling that the person was too arrogant.

"Young man, you've never seen a celestial being in action, have you?" someone asked with a sigh.

This young male cultivator's explanation might work on other people, but this is a banished immortal!

"So what if it is?" the arrogant man from Zhongzhou retorted.

"No wonder, if you had seen a banished immortal, you wouldn't have said that..."

An old cultivator, who had the good fortune to witness Li Wangxian's Purple Qi Eastward Divine Technique in the Divine City, which instantly engulfed the heavens and earth and refined a group of hellish assassins who came to kill him, said with some emotion.

In his view, there was no need to even make a move. Just by seeing the true form of the immortal, with its unfathomable aura of the Great Dao, no one would think that the immortal was weak in combat.

This sentence calmed down Li Wangxian, who was initially displeased in the teahouse.

However, he still took a deep look at the man who appeared to be from Zhongzhou.

"I'm just a stepping stone, how dare you say that!"

Over here, Li Wangxian's eyes began to show a dangerous glint.

At this moment, the arrogant man from Zhongzhou heard the old cultivator's words and immediately retorted, "So what if I've seen them? So what if I haven't? The Twin Kings are invincible under heaven. No one can break their rule. Even if the so-called Immortals truly possess combat power comparable to a King's Body, in a battle between equals, they will only suffer a humiliating defeat in front of the Twin Kings."

Upon hearing this, it became clear to everyone that this person greatly admired the Twin Kings and was very dissatisfied with the Immortal.

Of course, it's possible that the argument escalated into a heated exchange, leading to the utterance of the so-called "immortal banished to heaven." Otherwise, under normal circumstances, few would dare to offend such a powerful figure in public, belittling someone who is already incredibly strong and whose future achievements are unimaginable.

"Young man, watch your words!" someone warned. After all, their discussion, though a bit heated, was still relatively normal. But if they continued, they might go too far.

Meanwhile, in another area, the arrogant man wanted to say something more, but his old servant pulled him back and gently persuaded him. In the end, although the man looked unwilling, he still walked out of the teahouse.

"They're from Zhongzhou, and they seem quite hostile towards me. Could they be from the Twin Kings family?"

Li Wangxian, standing nearby, had some guesses. Otherwise, there couldn't be someone who disliked him for no reason, right?

Oh, maybe there really is, but Li Wangxian believes that even if there is, under normal circumstances, as long as one's intelligence is online, it won't be revealed for no reason, unless there is already a grudge between him and Li Wangxian.

"Hmm, I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it carefully, the Gemini Kings' family might really be particularly hostile to me!"

Li Wangxian's eyes suddenly narrowed. In the Divine City, he fought against the Dark Night King with a sacred weapon in order to save the Divine King's beloved, although in the end the Dark Night King was not killed by him.

But everyone knew that the Night King was injured by his holy weapon that night. Perhaps the Twin Kings' family believed that the Night King's defeat was because he had injured the Night King with his holy weapon, which led to the Night King's defeat at the hands of the God King.

"Thinking about it that way, it's quite possible that they really are being blamed. So, could the Assassin Dynasty and the Hellish assassination orders have actually been orchestrated by the Twin Kings' family from the very beginning..."

The more Li Wangxian thought about it, the more he felt that perhaps the one who initially contacted the assassin dynasty to assassinate him was the Twin Kings' family.

In the past, he had thought about it for a long time but still couldn't confirm who wanted to contact the assassins to kill him, because the reasons were not very convincing. After all, he possessed a sacred weapon and had a high level of cultivation. If he wanted to hire the assassin dynasty, it would be an exorbitant price.

Unless there's some deep-seated hatred or conflict of interest, most holy sites wouldn't be so extravagant!

In the past, his main suspect was the Yao Guang Holy Land, but he couldn't figure out why Yao Guang would do this. After all, even if they coveted his physique's origin, they should have done it themselves. If the Assassin Dynasty succeeded, they wouldn't have deliberately left their own origin to others!

But now, with this connection, Li Wangxian suddenly felt that the families of the Twin Kings of Zhongzhou were more likely to be involved!

After all, the Dark Night King was a fully-fledged king, someone who even had a slight chance of becoming a saint, and he was gone just like that. It could be said that he was filled with deep hatred.

They couldn't do anything to the Jiang family, and seeing that I was close to them, it was only natural that they would take their anger out on me because of the matter of hurting the Dark Night King!

"Tsk, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems. Looks like I should check it out, otherwise, it wouldn't be pleasant if I got tricked again..."

Li Wangxian got up, paid the bill, and left the teahouse.

Chapter 168 Taking Action

Li Wangxian was a man of action; once he said he would do something, he did it. After leaving the teahouse, he followed the arrogant young man from a distance.

He needed to confirm whether this person was a member of the Gemini Kings before preparing for his next move.

His actions went unnoticed by anyone, as he concealed his aura well, and most people couldn't discern his cultivation level.

As for his appearance, when he entered the city, to avoid attracting too much attention and even not being able to drink tea properly, he changed his face.

This is why the people in the teahouse weren't surprised by his presence. Otherwise, given his fame and legendary status, his face would have been known throughout the cultivation world of the Eastern Wilderness, if not the entire world.

"Old Wang, have my eldest and second brothers arrived?"

Ahead, the young male cultivator asked the old servant in gray beside him.

"Not yet. The two young masters have an appointment with the holy sons and daughters of the Central Region to have a small gathering in Kaiyang City in a few days!" the gray-robed old servant replied.

"Hmph, once my eldest and second brothers arrive, we'll let the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness witness the invincible Twin Kings!"

The young male cultivator let out a cold snort, still somewhat resentful about what happened in the teahouse.

"Young Master, they are just a bunch of natives from the Eastern Wilderness. Their vision is too narrow. Why bother with such a thing?"

The gray-robed old servant offered his advice, his words revealing a deep disdain for the Eastern Wilderness region.

Behind him, Li Wangxian's eyes narrowed.

"Tsk, eldest brother, second brother, witness the power of the Twin Kings. It seems they really are from the Twin Kings family, the Gao family!"

His divine sense was unparalleled, and his spiritual perception was extremely sharp. Even though they were far apart, how could the two people in front of him, who were paying close attention, possibly escape his notice?

From their conversation, it's not hard to guess that the young male cultivator is the younger brother of the current Twin Kings.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this person repeatedly defended the reputation of the Twin Kings in the teahouse.

Afterwards, Li Wangxian followed the other party back to his residence in Yangcheng, in a quiet and luxurious ancient courtyard in the east of Kaiyang City.

"I hope this wasn't an order from the Gao family, or don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Li Wangxian's eyes were deep as he looked at the courtyard in front of him, and he used the "Xing" secret technique to sneak into it.

As dusk fell and the night was high in the sky, Li Wangxian silently slipped into the room of Gao Linfeng, the younger brother of the Twin Kings.

Cultivators don't need evidence to do their work. Besides, this isn't Earth where you can check accounts to find evidence. Where would you find such things in the cultivation world?

Do assassins give a receipt after accepting a mission?

Therefore, Li Wangxian's investigation method was simple and crude. Since he suspected the other party of doing this, it was very simple: just search their soul.

Inside the room, Gao Linfeng was meditating. Cultivators rarely sleep; they usually spend their nights meditating unless they have social engagements.

Without a sound, Li Wangxian appeared behind Gao Linfeng, who remained completely unaware.

Li Wangxian pressed down with one hand, and instantly, Gao Linfeng, who was in the middle of cultivation, felt a tremor in his heart.

Someone had sneaked into his room without his knowledge, and only realized what was happening when they attacked him. This was terrifying.

Of course, no matter what Gao Linfeng's mood or thoughts were, there was nothing he could do. The moment Li Wangxian's hand pressed down, he was already sealed.

"Hey!"

Li Wangxian activated his divine sense and instantly probed into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness, searching for the information he wanted. Gao Linfeng was a core member of the Twin Kings family. Although there was indeed a restriction in his sea of ​​consciousness that sealed the family's ancient scriptures, Li Wangxian had no interest in this. Therefore, after avoiding this section, he quickly obtained some information.

"Hmm, as expected, the younger generation still has a very low status..."

Li Wangxian remained calm, which was also expected. Even though Gao Linfeng was the younger brother of the Twin Kings, there were some things that were not yet up to them to decide.

Therefore, it is normal not to get a clear answer.

Of course, Li Wangxian did not come away empty-handed. In his sea of ​​consciousness, he discovered that the Gao family was currently quite hostile towards the Jiang family, him, and even the Holy Body.

There was even an insider tip among them.

"More than half a year ago, the Gao family patriarch and upper-level elders seemed to have suddenly mobilized a batch of divine sources and a large amount of pure sources..."

Li Wangxian's eyes were strange. If it was true, then this batch of resources must be a deposit!

Generally speaking, ancient families with a long history like this definitely have considerable resources. They can easily mobilize resources internally to deceive outsiders. If it were a normal investigation, Li Wangxian would not be able to find anything unusual.

However, such a massive mobilization of resources was difficult to conceal from his own family members, who were core members of the Gao family. Therefore, after the news of Li Wangxian's assassination spread, Gao Linfeng had his own suspicions.

Perhaps, that batch of divine sources, along with a large amount of pure sources, were given to the Assassin Dynasty to assassinate the banished immortal.

"The suspicion is growing stronger!"

Even Gao Linfeng had a vague suspicion that, at this moment, the Gao family was at least 70-80% suspected.

The reason Li Wangxian didn't make a direct conclusion was that these were only things Gao Linfeng vaguely sensed. In fact, Gao Linfeng wasn't 100% sure whether resources had actually been mobilized. And even if he confirmed that the Gao family had indeed mobilized a large number of resources, it couldn't be said that they were definitely used to hire the Assassin Dynasty, right?

Of course, in Li Wangxian's view, it is now difficult to clear the Gao family of suspicion. His guess of 70% or 80% only shows that he is a meticulous person and does not affect his next move.

"Buzz!"
