"Junior Brother Xuanxiao, were you at the scene when Murong Mo was killed?"
"Then where were you? How do you know Murong Mo Senior Brother is dead? Did you see his body?"
Li Xuanxiao’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind was in turmoil.
This was a trap, and all the questions were pitfalls.
"At the time, two great powers were fighting, and Wuwang Mountain was in chaos. I hid, and then took the opportunity to escape. I never encountered Senior Brother Murong."
After speaking, Li Xuanxiao sighed, clenched his fist, and said bitterly,
"It's a pity... Senior Brother Murong was the strongest among us. I never expected to encounter Empress Di Nü Feng and Liu Qiushui. Damn it, Senior Brother Murong... he must have been killed by them."
"Yes, but afterward, we searched all of Wuwang Mountain and couldn’t find Senior Brother Murong."
Song Qizawa was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you think it’s possible that Murong Mo might not actually be dead?"
Li Xuanxiao: Impossible!! Pure rumors.
I burned his soul, I recited the rebirth spell.
But of course, I can't say that. So he asked,
"Senior Brother Song, what do you mean? Did you discover something?"
Song Qizawa, of course, didn’t tell Li Xuanxiao that he had received information from the Demon Sect, confirming that Murong Mo wasn’t dead.
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be... could it be that Liu Qiushui mistook Murong Mo for Li Xuanxiao?
Was Liu Qiushui actually looking for Li Xuanxiao?
She must have thought she met Murong Mo.
This thought made everything fall into place.
"Junior Brother Xuanxiao, you just returned to the sect recently, didn’t you?"
With the confirmation, Song Qizawa was overjoyed, more certain that his guess was correct.
He quickly bid farewell to Li Xuanxiao and went to contact Liu Qiushui.
After he left, Li Xuanxiao’s face became serious.
"Sect Leader, please stop hitting me! Ahhh... I’m going to die, I’m going to die..."
"Sect Leader, have mercy!"
Song Qizawa rolled around in pain because of the life-and-death talisman.
Liu Qiushui stared at him coldly.
"Do you think I would even get the name wrong? He wouldn’t deceive me, his name is Murong Mo!"
"Sect Leader, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Useless people deserve to die! You can’t even handle something this simple."
"I understand, I will become someone useful to you, Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader... can you describe what Murong Mo looked like?"
After much investigation, Song Qizawa still believed that Murong Mo was dead.
The person Liu Qiushui was looking for was Li Xuanxiao.
"Trash is just trash. Why did I send such an idiot to Mount Shushan as an undercover agent? You can’t even do this simple thing!"
"Ahhh, Sect Leader, Sect Leader, I was wrong."
A few more days later.
Song Qizawa spread out the image of Li Xuanxiao for Liu Qiushui to see.
Liu Qiushui glanced at it indifferently, "Yes, it’s him."
"Sect Leader, this person’s name is Li Xuanxiao. He’s not Murong Mo," Song Qizawa said, his tone full of grievance.
"Idiot! You knew all along, why didn’t you act?"
Song Qizawa rolled around in pain again.
"Get him out of Mount Shushan, and someone will take care of you."
"Junior Brother Xuanxiao, let’s go down the mountain together."
Song Qizawa’s face was full of grievance.
Senior Brother, you’re just one step away from writing 'I have bad intentions' on your face. Aren’t you even going to give a reason?
"I found a tomb left by a Nascent Soul cultivator down the mountain, filled with treasures!"
Li Xuanxiao looked at Song Qizawa.
This... is such a ridiculous excuse.
And Senior Brother, our relationship isn’t even that close, why are you looking for me?
At least come up with a proper reason.
Li Xuanxiao was in a dilemma.
For safety’s sake, he would definitely refuse.
But if he refused, Song Qizawa would surely try to plot against him and do something unexpected.
It might be better to go along with it and see what he actually wanted.
The key was what backup he had. The Murong family’s reinforcements?
Thinking this through, Li Xuanxiao made a decision and arranged to meet Song Qizawa outside the sect gates the next day.
Song Qizawa reminded him specifically, "Junior Brother Xuanxiao, digging tombs for treasures is forbidden within the sect, so when we leave the sect, we’d better leave one by one and make up separate reasons. Don’t tell anyone about this."
How clumsy, so clumsy.
Song Qizawa left the sect early and went alone to the spot Li Xuanxiao had arranged to meet.
He grumbled inwardly about how Li Xuanxiao had offended Liu Qiushui.
Why would Liu Qiushui risk sending him, an undercover agent who had been hiding for years, to take on such a dangerous mission, just to bring Li Xuanxiao out?
To reassure Li Xuanxiao, the meeting spot was still one Li Xuanxiao had chosen.
However, Liu Qiushui had secretly arranged people.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators hid themselves.
Once Song Qizawa brought Li Xuanxiao there, the two Nascent Soul cultivators would quickly act, taking Li Xuanxiao away without Mount Shushan noticing.
The Nascent Soul cultivators could already be sensed by Mount Shushan’s sword formation, so the plan had to be fast and decisive, away from the vast search range of the sword formation.
That’s why the Nascent Soul cultivators weren’t placed here.
Li Xuanxiao had chosen the meeting place within the sword formation’s range.
The Nascent Soul cultivators dared not step in.
As Song Qizawa waited idly, suddenly a hand shot out from the ground.
Song Qizawa was pulled into the earth.
Then came a series of brutal strikes.
Song Qizawa felt completely helpless.
This was Li Xuanxiao’s first time fighting after reaching the Golden Core Stage.
Of course, his fighting method was a bit ungraceful, and his opponent was just in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Xuanxiao had already changed his appearance, wearing a jade ring to conceal his presence and a hairpin that altered his appearance.
A sharp talisman blade was pressed against Song Qizawa’s neck.
Li Xuanxiao said in a deep voice, "Song Qizawa, today’s events are your own doing."
Though Li Xuanxiao said this, he didn’t immediately strike.
With his personality, if he wanted to kill, he wouldn’t waste words.
As expected, Song Qizawa was terrified by this and panicked.
"I’m a Mount Shushan disciple, this is Mount Shushan’s territory, who are you?!"
"Heh, don’t you know what you’ve done?"
"...You’re from the Law Enforcement Hall?!"
Song Qizawa’s face turned ashen.
It’s over! His undercover identity had been exposed!
