C172 The Spiritual Grass Was Exposed
Yang Xuan's face turned serious and he quickly retreated. However, after taking two steps back, he felt something. His body turned in the air and moved to the other side.
On the path he had originally taken to retreat, a ray of golden light fell down vertically. If it wasn't for his timely reaction, he would have already been enveloped by it.
Elder Lee was a little angry that his plan had failed again. He made a series of hand seals, and several rays of different colors flew out from his waist pocket towards Yang Xuan.
"Humph! What an insignificant skill!"
Yang Xuan coldly snorted. The Spiritual Force in his body surged, and with a loud shout, he swung his sword forward.
This sword carried a great might as it directly covered the area of a few meters in front of him. Those various colored lights were covered by it and were instantly repelled.
Those lights were filled with poisonous insects that were raised by Elder Li. After being forced back for a while, they once again charged forward fearlessly.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, you'd better surrender obediently. Otherwise, if these treasures of this old man accidentally bite you to death, it won't be good."
Elder Li charged behind him with a sinister smile. A string of black bells appeared in his withered hand. There were five of them in total, and each of them was the size of a baby's fist.
Just as he was about to activate them, a red stream of light rushed over.
"Li Fellow Daoist is really good. He actually managed to hide it from me."
Zhao Hu flew over with a gloomy face. He hovered not far away from the two of them, and his Qi soared into the sky.
The red spiritual bead had already been withdrawn by him. He had replaced it with the flying shuttle that he had used in the beginning. Although its power was slightly weaker, its speed was extremely fast.
Elder Lee was forced to stop by the flying shuttle. He was so shocked that he could only raise his walking stick to block it.
"Kacha!"
With a soft sound, a gap appeared on the wooden crutch, and the flying shuttle also lost its strength and flew over from the side.
"So overbearing, to actually destroy this old man's wooden cane."
Elder Lee said in a deep voice, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he shouted at Zhao Hu, "Zhao Fellow Daoist, please let go of the grudge between the two of us. Let's capture this kid together and talk about it later. What do you think?"
"Old thing, you are really thinking about this kid. However, you should take care of yourself first."
Zhao Hu kept sneering. He formed a spell with his hand and was about to continue his attack.
To him, the first threat was Elder Lee. Not only was his mind gloomy, but his means were also extremely strange. Although his strength could crush Elder Lee, he was still a scourge and the only possibility of him being defeated.
As for Yang Xuan, he was much more harmless in Zhao Hu's eyes. Although he was also at the Third Stage, his spell and treasure were far weaker than Xu Yuan's, so it didn't pose any threat to him.
Most importantly, he had the intention to recruit Yang Xuan.
One. A genius who had reached the Third Stage before the age of 20 had gone beyond his imagination. Not to mention the Qifeng Country, not even the surrounding regions had such a genius.
If he could recruit him into the Qifeng Country, once he grew up, he would certainly be able to provide great protection to the Qifeng Country in the future.
Elder Lee was also a smart person. How could he not guess what Zhao Hu was thinking? Immediately, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Zhao Fellow Daoist, are you really not afraid that this little brother will run away? He has a tier 7, or even higher spiritual herb with him."
"What!?"
Zhao Hu's hand seals stopped. He was clearly shocked by these words.
However, he was only stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted and sneered, "Old thing, you still want to lie to me at a time like this."
"What I said is the truth."
" Oh? You're really muddle-headed. What kind of divine object is a grade seven spirit herb? How could this kid possess it?"
Zhao Hu questioned, but he didn't continue to make the hand seals. Instead, he glanced at Yang Xuan with suspicion.
He did not believe this news. However, grade seven spirit herbs were too rare. It was something that only existed in the records. Even he had never seen such a thing before. Immediately, he felt a little hopeful.
Yang Xuan's eyes twitched as he stared at Elder Li.
"No wonder this guy took the risk to come back to me after betraying me. It turns out that he has his eyes on my spirit herbs."
He felt a little annoyed. Although he had been very careful in dealing with this man, he had still overlooked something.
Since Elder Lee knew the characteristics of the Spirit Swallowing Insect, he must also know the method to lure it out. It was impossible without a high grade spiritual herb.
"No wonder this fellow believed my words so easily back then. I'm afraid that what he wants is not the Spirit Swallowing Insect at all!"
Yang Xuan thought in his heart. After gritting his teeth, he said in a clear voice, "Li Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? Why can't I understand it?"
"Fellow Daoist Yang, stop pretending. Now that things have come to this, you should know my purpose. I didn't come here to talk to you after taking such a huge risk."
Old Li chuckled and said to Zhao Hu, "Zhao Fellow Daoist, I have also come up with this matter. He took out a strange bug that I buried, and that strange bug. If you want to take it out without harming anyone's life, you can only use spiritual herbs of the seventh grade and above to lure it out. There must be one on this kid's body. Let's work together to capture him first. How about we divide it further? "
Zhao Hu's eyes sparkled. After a long time, he said in a cold voice," Humph! What right do you have to talk about allocation with me?"
After saying that, he turned to Yang Xuan and said, "Kid, take out the grade seven spirit herb. You can leave this place safely. You can even become a distinguished guest of Qifeng Country. Otherwise..."
His words were very domineering. He had excluded Elder Lee from the discussion, but he had given Yang Xuan a chance to make a choice. At the same time, he had also tried to rope him in.
Yang Xuan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Elder Lee who was not far away.
At this moment, Elder Lee wasn't in a hurry. He was just smiling coldly from afar. He had already predicted that Yang Xuan wouldn't hand over the spiritual herb, so he was on guard against him escaping.
"Looks like this is the only way."
Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and reached out his hand to touch his waist. In the next moment, a golden spiritual herb appeared in his hand.
This spiritual grass looked extremely similar to a wild grass. It was only the length of a palm and only had a few golden leaves. There were no flowers or fruits. However, there were some faint blue fluorescence flowing on it. It was very strange.
As soon as this spiritual herb appeared, the surrounding Spirit Aura seemed to have become active. They were gathering around Yang Xuan. If one looked carefully, one would notice that the spiritual herb was at the center of the fluctuation of the Spirit Aura.
"This is!"
Zhao Hu's eyes widened, staring at the golden spiritual herb in Yang Xuan's hand, revealing an intense greed.
