C508 The Lure and the Temptation
"What do you even know when you ask me?" Hearing Liu Yi's question, Liu Qingsong laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. His laughter was full of pride. "Of course I know everything!"
"Damn it, old fox, you still want to hide it from us. Since you don't want to say it, I will say it for you. " Next to Liu Qingsong, the grey-robed cultivator who had been silent the whole time spoke with a sinister expression, "The Hundred Spirit Fruit is in the valley, right?"
Sure enough, they knew about it.
Liu Yi's heart sank completely. He knew very well what the Hundred Spirit Fruit meant to rogue cultivators like him and Liu Qingsong. No one would be willing to give up such a shocking spiritual object.
Even if he and Liu Qingsong's positions were swapped, Liu Yi knew that he would make the same choice as Liu Qingsong.
Kill and seize the treasure!
Conflicts were unavoidable. Ever since the news of the Hundred Spirit Fruit was exposed, only one side was destined to leave alive!
After the matter was clear, Liu Yi calmed down instead.
"Where did you hear the news from?" Liu Yi did not cover up anymore and tried to get some information from Liu Qingsong. Since they found the Hundred Spirit Fruit, Liu Yi, Liu Fei, and Lau Qing had been together. They did not even separate from each other when they were purchasing goods. They were almost inseparable from each other. There was no way they would have the chance to leak the information about the Hundred Spirit Fruit.
Could it be...
Liu Yi looked at Yang Xuan suspiciously, but he soon overturned this speculation.
Yang Xuan had appeared in front of Liu Yi on his own accord. If Yang Xuan was Liu Qingsong's accomplice, then... With Yang Xuan's strength, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary. If he was really on Liu Qingsong's side, he could have waited until the Hundred Spirit Fruit appeared and launched a sneak attack. With the means that Yang Xuan had shown, no one on the scene would be able to survive.
Luckily, Liu Qingsong, who felt that victory was within his grasp, did not let Liu Yi wait any longer. "You really think you hid it well? Idiot!"
Liu Qingsong had a cold smile on his face and said, "You have only been active in the outskirts of the mountain range when you suddenly purchased a large amount of resources. There was also a batch of expensive defensive formations and specially made pill to deal with Demonic Beast. Even an idiot would know that you would definitely make a big move! "
"I did not think that the matter of purchasing resources could be hidden from my peers, but..." Seeing Liu Qingsong's proud look, Liu Yi took the opportunity to ask the question that he had been wanting to ask in his heart. "How do you know that our target is the Hundred Spirit Fruit?"
"You bought a batch of Snow Clean Bottles from the Barbarian Cultivator, right?" The requirements for the Hundred Spirit Fruit to grow were not harsh, but once it matured, the Hundred Spirit Fruit would rapidly wither without a proper way to preserve it. It would lose most of its medicinal strength. The Snow Pure Bottle was a low-grade magic artifact that was specially used to preserve the medicinal strength of the Hundred Spirit Fruit.
As he spoke, Liu Qingsong pointed at the Barbarian Cultivator beside him. With a pleased expression, he said, "Do you really think that you can keep it a secret just by starting from the Barbarian Cultivator? Unfortunately, the Barbarian Cultivator that I sold you the Snow Bottle is the junior of this Chalham brother beside me."
"So that's how it is." Liu Yi made a look of realization on his face, but Kexin's heart sank to the bottom. Since the other party would appear here carelessly, it meant that the other party already had the confidence to eat this batch of Hundred Spirit Fruit.
At this time, every bit of combat strength was extremely valuable. She had to call Liu Fei over.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi secretly formed a seal with his hands behind his back. A faint spiritual light flashed and disappeared. With the help of the formation's power, Liu Yi had already sent the message to Liu Fei, who was guarding the Hundred Spirit Fruit.
Unfortunately, although this extremely secretive action had been hidden from Liu Qingsong and his brother, it had not been hidden from the Barbarian Cultivator, whose cultivation base was one realm higher. The Barbarian Cultivator moved closer to Liu Qingsong's ear and whispered in his ear.
When Liu Qingsong heard this, a surprised expression flashed across his face. But immediately, he waved his hand indifferently and looked at Liu Yi with a mocking expression. He said, "You still know how to call people when you shout? But it doesn't matter. If I call you all over, I'll catch all of you in one fell swoop, so as to avoid wasting my time. "
His words didn't seem to place Liu Yi and the others in his eyes at all.
Liu Yi's expression became even uglier, and he looked at Yang Xuan with some apprehension.
Liu Qingsong now had a mysterious helper on his side, and it had already formed an overwhelming advantage. Currently, Liu Yi and the others had placed all their hopes on Yang Xuan. Liu Yi was afraid that Yang Xuan would back out. He was unwilling to fight the mysterious Barbarian Cultivator to the death.
Yang Xuan noticed Liu Yi's pleading eyes and was slightly startled, but he quickly understood.
He didn't expect that this unexpected variable would become the key to deciding the outcome of the battle.
Yang Xuan secretly found it funny and said to Liu Yi, "Don't worry, I will definitely stand on your side. At that time, I will deal with that Barbarian Cultivator."
Yang Xuan's tone was extremely calm, without any imposing manner, but his words were filled with a strong sense of confidence.
When Liu Yi heard Yang Xuan's promise, although he wasn't optimistic about the battle between Yang Xuan and the Barbarian Cultivator, he still felt at ease.
"Eh?"
As soon as Yang Xuan said this, Liu Qingsong, who had always regarded Yang Xuan as a soldier, suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise. He fixed his eyes on Yang Xuan.
After taking a look, Liu Qingsong's heart froze. As a Third Stage warrior, when Liu Qingsong investigated Yang Xuan's background, it was as if he was looking at a flower in the fog. He didn't notice anything unusual at all, as if he was investigating an ordinary person with no cultivation base at all.
However, it was obvious that Yang Xuan's aura wasn't that of an ordinary person.
Liu Qingsong looked at the Barbarian Cultivator beside him as if asking for help, but he found that the Barbarian Cultivator was also looking at Yang Xuan with a surprised look. It was obvious that it could not see through Yang Xuan's background either.
Liu Qingsong's expression suddenly changed.
He had risked a huge amount of money to collude with the Barbarian Cultivator. Liu Qingsong had wanted to catch Liu Yi and the others in one fell swoop, but Yang Xuan's appearance had made Liu Qingsong hesitate.
Liu Qingsong didn't doubt the strength of his side. One should know that the Barbarian Cultivator was a Fourth Stage cultivator. Although it had just broken through, it was enough to easily crush any cultivator below the Fourth Stage. Therefore, Liu Qingsong was sure that he would win.
However, Liu Qingsong was also worried about his own safety. If he really fought with his life on the line, the Fourth Stage Barbarian Cultivator would definitely be able to survive until the end, but Liu Qingsong was not confident about it.
If this guy suddenly appeared and pulled him down from his horse, wouldn't he lose everything?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong squeezed out a kind smile at Yang Xuan. He said politely, "May I know how to address this brother? This brother has also seen the strength of my side. I won't hide it from you. The one beside me is a Fourth Stage warrior... "
"If brother doesn't mind, why don't you just watch from the sidelines? I guarantee that brother will get the last portion of the Hundred Spirit Fruit!"
