Chapter 286: Meeting an Old Acquaintance (Part )

Last time we talked about Quinn saying that he couldn't take revenge. What's going on? Let's take a look at it together.

Xiao Ziyi asked: "Why can't you take revenge? Even if you can't beat your enemy now, go back and practice hard. Haven't you heard that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge?"

Quinn smiled bitterly and said, "Humph, that's easy to say. Cao Hun is more insidious than you Wei people." As he said that, he unbuttoned his collar and pulled open his lapels, and there was a strange curse mark on his chest.

Liu Ruyun was surprised and said, "This is witchcraft! Could it be someone from the Western Chu Witchcraft Cult again?"

Quinn shook his head and said, "No, Cao Hun is a Xiongnu and a warrior who knows witchcraft. He has cast this curse on all his men. We can't resist him."

Li Yi was surprised and said, "He practices both martial arts and witchcraft, and he is a Hun? I am very curious, why I have never heard of this person in Dunhuang for so long."

"Because he was hidden by several major families, and was announced to the public that he had left Dunhuang. The original plan was to use him to deal with Liang Quyi. But later, people from Shujinzhuang stepped in to mediate the relationship between the major families and Liang Quyi, so he never took action."

Yu Jiu said excitedly: "Sir, isn't this Cao Hun the person we are looking for?"

Li Yi grabbed Kun's neck and lifted him up, saying in a cold voice: "Didn't you just come back from the Dili tribe? The trade route was cut off last year. You stayed in the Dili tribe for so long, how come you know so much about the situation in Dunhuang City? All these things you said happened after you left!"

Quinn, who was struggling, suddenly had black air coming out of his chest. With a weird smile on his face, he said in another person's voice, "Everyone else believed it, but you found the problem. It seems that it's not that easy to deceive you!"

Everyone immediately became nervous upon seeing this.

Li Yi said coldly: "Although I don't know what kind of magic you used, it is very similar to the Buddhist method of persuasion! Your mental power can't affect me! You sent this child here just to lure me to you, right? To put it bluntly, I am not afraid of you!"

"The three cultivators are indeed different, and they know so much. Li Yi, how about we have a discussion?"

"What are you discussing?"

"Don't meddle in the affairs of the Western Regions. I will guarantee you twenty years of peace on the northwest border of Wei!"

Li Yi sneered and said, "So you are a Zoroastrian. What do you think of this matter?"

"This is what the high priest meant. I am just helping to pass on the message."

"May I ask your name, brother?"

"Zoroastrian priest Shen Muyi greets Li Yuefu."

"What about Cao Hun?"

"He's just a puppet. I sent him to hide in Dunhuang to monitor your every move. Now that you've taken Dunhuang, the next step is to get involved in the Western Regions, right? If you still want to go back alive, then be obedient. The disaster on the grassland will soon end, and the trade route will be restored soon. You don't have to stay in the Western Regions any longer."

Li Yi let go of Quinn and said with a smile, "I am a person who only responds to soft words and not to hard ones. Since the high priest has said so, I certainly cannot give him face. How about this, after I settle down in Dunhuang City, I will go back home?"

Quinn bowed and smiled, "It's settled then, Li Lefu. I will keep an eye on you until you leave."

Li Yi nodded. Just as Quinn was about to leave, Li Yi suddenly asked, "Hadir is with you, right? They are both in Dunhuang."

Quinn turned around and replied, "Yes, it's here!"

Just as Quinn turned around, Li Yi pointed his right sword at his chest and the Soul Sealing Lock immediately locked him.

Li Yi shouted, "Seal off the City Lord's Mansion, no one is allowed to enter or leave! Langya, bring everyone here, I want to identify them one by one! Yu Jiu, ask housekeeper Zhou and guard Zhang to guard the outer wall in pairs. If anyone escapes, there is no need to kill them, just follow them!"

Everyone immediately split up, leaving only Li Yi and the locked Quinn in the room. Li Yi condensed his Qi into a brush, and then gathered his spiritual power, Buddhist teachings, and righteousness into ink. He tore open Quinn's clothes and copied the talisman on his chest.

Li Yi said, "It's probably more painful to remove this kind of witchcraft than to remove the poison. You better hold on, kid! Shenmu Yi, it doesn't feel good to have your soul bound, right? Do you want to remove the curse yourself, or wait for me to crack the secret of your curse and use the ink fountain technique to forcibly remove it? Once your soul is scattered, I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in a short time!"

"Li Yi, aren't you afraid of risking this kid's life by doing this?"

"He and I have no relationship, why would I care about his life? Besides, I have locked up his three souls. Once the curse is removed, only your human soul will be dispersed! He will only feel the pain of having his soul torn away!"

As he was talking, Li Yi had already finished copying the curse. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm about to start! Ink fountain technique, reverse the strokes to break the curse, start!"

Li Yi began to write the curse in reverse with the brush in his hand. The tip of the brush left a purple-gold ink mark, and the ink wrapped around the curse mark on Quinn's chest, peeling off his flesh bit by bit. Quinn was bound by the soul-sealing chain and could not move. He could only wail in pain, but there were two voices in that wail.

Shenmu Yi shouted, "Li Yi, stop! I'll solve it! I'll solve it myself!"

Li Yi picked up the pen to finish his work, but saw the curse mark on Quinn's chest slowly shrinking and finally turning into a black dot. Quinn suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood, which quickly disappeared after falling to the ground, while Li Yi's Soul Sealing Chain had already chased after the blood.

Li Yi then took out the measuring ruler and turned it into a crescent bow. He condensed his spiritual power, Buddhist teachings and righteousness into a soul-separating arrow and shot it out. This was exactly the method Li Yi used when he captured Zhang Hongchen, the spiritual arrow chasing the soul, but he didn't have the spiritual feather arrow, so he could only use this method to make a workaround.

Quinn had collapsed to the ground, but now was not the time to care about him. Li Yi knew that Hadir was hiding in the city lord's mansion. If he didn't find her, everyone around him would be in danger. As soon as Li Yi walked out of the door, Langya brought everyone in the mansion to the courtyard.

Li Yi walked through the crowd, but after walking two rounds, the little Li Yi in his body did not give any clues. He even asked the little Li Yi specifically, and the latter only said that he indeed did not feel Hadir's spiritual power.

Just as he was wondering, Li Yi suddenly asked, "Where's my sister?"

Langya scratched his head and replied, "Sister Yuehua said she had to sew something and didn't have time, so she didn't come."

Li Yi's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Tell these people to stay here and don't move!" Then he ran towards Yuehua's residence.

After opening the door, there was no one in the outer room, so Li Yi rushed into the inner room. He was shocked when he saw himself pressing Yuehua on the bed and kissing her! The key point was that Yuehua was very cooperative and looked very happy.

"Hadir! I want your life!"

Hadiel transformed into Li Yi, who grabbed Yuehua's neck and said coldly: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill your sister first!"

Yuehua looked at the furious Li Yi in front of her with a surprised look on her face. Only then did she realize how many flaws Li Yi had just had! But now she had become a hostage. The stubborn Yuehua said, "Brother, don't worry about me. Just kill him!"

Halder chuckled in Yuehua's ear and said, "My silly sister, how could he not care about you! Li Yi, let me go, or I will take her with me to die, you choose one!

Hey, don't think you can do what you say! When I was teasing her just now, I had already connected my soul with hers. You should know my soul fusion technique, right? "

Li Yi took out the Seven Swords Box from the sack, drew out the Wrath Sword from it, and stretched out his hand to sharpen the blade with his spiritual power.

Hadiel, pretending to be Li Yi, said in a teasing tone: "Hey, don't be so angry, how about we make a gentleman's agreement?"

"What kind of gentleman's agreement is this with a witch like you?"

Hadiel, pretending to be Li Yi, said with a smile: "The agreement between the high priest and you is still valid. I will add one more thing. As long as you leave the Western Region, I promise not to have any ideas about your sister!

Oh, look at your murderous eyes, do you want to eat me? I can come find you after the matter in the Western Region is over! Don't worry, I won't take your soul, I just want to have fun.

"Don't put on that stinky face, you're not cool anymore! I was no match for you before, and now that you've become a third-level cultivator, I can't beat you even more, what are you afraid of?"

Li Yi put the Angry Sword back into the sword case, put the sword case into the sack, and said, "You can go now!"

"Hey, you better swear an oath with righteousness, otherwise if you catch up with me after I leave, I'm afraid I will die in your hands."

Li Yi took a deep breath, gathered his righteous spirit and said: "I, Li Yi, swear by my righteous spirit to let Hadir go. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"

Hadir, who turned into Li Yi, kissed Yuehua on the ear and said with a laugh, "Little sister, brother is leaving, don't miss me too much!" After that, he stretched out his hand and pushed Yuehua towards Li Yi, then jumped out of the window.

Li Yi hugged Yuehua and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yuehua nodded timidly. Li Yi sighed and said, "Put on your clothes! Use your brain more in the future! How could I do that to you? Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend nothing happened."

Yuehua nodded silently and said, "I understand."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wall collapse and rocks breaking outside. Li Yi rushed out immediately. Langya was surprised to see Li Yi and asked, "Hey, Master, how did you get out? Didn't you just leave?"

Li Yi didn't want to explain too much, so he asked directly: "Where did I go just now?"

Langya replied, "West."

"Who's guarding over there?"

"It should be Hero Xiao and Hero Liu."

The sound just now came from that direction. Li Yi frowned and rushed over immediately, but saw that a section of the western outer wall had collapsed, and Liu Ruyun and Xiao Ziyi were nowhere to be seen. Li Yi drew out the measuring ruler and turned it into a long sword, flying away on the sword.

After chasing him five miles outside the city, they saw Liu Ruyun using his Qi to help Xiao Ziyi heal her wounds. The latter was seriously injured by Hadir's flying knife. Fortunately, Liu Ruyun seized the opportunity to injure Hadir and saved Xiao.

Li Yi stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Ziyi's eyebrows, injecting the power of the Heavenly Soul to heal her wounds, and then asked: "How did you know that I was someone else pretending to be me?"

Liu Ruyun shook her head and said, "She saw it, but I didn't."

"You are a Confucianist and a martial artist, you should be able to tell just by your righteous spirit!"

"Why? Are you blaming me? The incident happened suddenly and Hero Xiao rushed over directly. I thought you two were going to do something together!"

"That's us!"

“I didn’t know it at the time!”

Xiao Ziyi closed her eyes and said, "That guy ran too fast, and I didn't have time to say anything. No wonder Aunt Yun said that."

Li Yi said coldly, "Shut up! Just borrow the power of my Heavenly Soul and heal your wounds! I've seen her flying knives, they're very vicious! Your injuries are all on your meridians or acupuncture points. If you don't recover well, it will damage your foundation."

After a while, Li Yi withdrew the power of the Heavenly Soul. Xiao Ziyi's injuries were no longer serious and she only needed to rest. He reached out to pull Xiao Ziyi's clothes, and the latter quickly pulled back the collar and asked, "What are you doing!"

Liu Ruyun cleared her throat and said, "He's still alive! Li Yi, what do you want to do?"

Li Yi just remembered and bowed to Liu Ruyun, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Yun to help me see if she has any scars on her body."

Liu Ruyun said unhappily: "As a warrior, it's okay to have a few scars on your body! I won't look at them, you can look at them yourself if you want!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyi immediately came to the rescue and said, "Yes, yes, yes, so what if I have scars? I was naughty when I was a child and I have many scars on my body. It's not a problem. Let's go and talk about it when we get back."

Li Yi slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right! I almost forgot about Shenmu Yi! You guys go slowly, I'll go deal with her accomplices first!" After that, he flew away on his sword.

Back in Dunhuang, Li Yi rushed into a small courtyard, looked at the destroyed houses and Cao Hun who was shot dead, and sighed helplessly: "Alas, we didn't catch either Hadir or Shenmu Yi, what's the point of killing such a puppet! Well, since the person is already dead, why not use him to do something?"
