Chapter 513: Qing Li: I Advise You Not to Seek Your Own Death
Silence; the battlefield was quiet to the point of absolute silence.
Everyone present turned their gazes in unison toward Ye Beixuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the sky.
"Brother-in-law is awesome!"
Feng Yanxiang was the first to shout out loud.
His voice also pulled everyone present back from their shock and into reality.
"The Son-in-law is invincible!"
"The Son-in-law is awesome!"
The disciples of the Feng family stood on the mountaintops and shouted one after another.
The disciples of the Green Luan Clan looked at Ye Beixuan's back, feeling an indescribable envy in their hearts.
A thought emerged in everyone's mind: why is this person not the Son-in-law of our Qing family?
Qing Li bowed slightly toward Ye Beixuan in the sky.
"Qing Li thanks Fellow Daoist for your assistance. This great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."
In this battle, although the Green Luan Clan was in a sorry state, they were not fundamentally damaged.
They could still continue to fight. Even if they could not compete with the people of the Feng family for first place, they could still compete for the top three.
Ye Beixuan spoke calmly. "There is no need for thanks. This was merely a transaction between you and me."
His tone was very flat, yet it made people feel very uncomfortable upon hearing it.
This was especially true for Qing Li. She felt she had spoken to the other party so humbly, yet he did not even spare her a direct glance.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, we will present the treasures immediately."
Although Qing Li was unhappy, she was not a brainless young fairy. Ye Beixuan had not yet put away that terrifying mirror in the sky.
Presumably, he was implying that if the Green Luan Clan did not fulfill their promise, he would come to take it personally.
Obviously, using methods meant for ordinary men would not work on Ye Beixuan.
"En."
Ye Beixuan kept his eyes tightly closed, showing absolutely no intention of opening them. However, the Primordial Purple Light enveloping the ground weakened significantly.
The disciples of the Green Luan Clan did not feel resentment because of Ye Beixuan's exorbitant demands; instead, they felt he was a gentleman who kept his word.
After all, in a place like the Desolate Province, taking advantage of a crisis to kill and seize treasures was a common occurrence.
They took out half of their treasures one after another and placed them on the ground.
Even Hong Li was wholeheartedly convinced by that man in the sky.
Seeing that everyone had brought out their treasures, Ye Beixuan had no intention of forcibly inspecting their storage rings.
With a wave of his large hand, he collected these items and the two Demon Crystals into his own storage ring, then immediately put away the Primordial Mirror in the sky.
He opened his eyes, stood up, and descended toward the mountaintop where the Feng family was located.
"Let's go."
"Understood."
After the members of the Feng family responded, they strode away with their heads held high, following behind Ye Beixuan.
Leaving behind the disciples of the Green Luan Clan, whose faces were filled with admiration, a young cultivator watched Ye Beixuan's receding figure. He muttered, "A true man should be like this."
Hearing this, Hong Li nodded slightly. "You are right. I am inferior to him."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Hong Li with astonishment. They all knew of this fellow's arrogance. Now seeing him so submissive to someone, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Sensing the strange gazes of the crowd, Hong Li said in a huff, "Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Is there a problem with what I said?"
Before the crowd could speak, Qing Li's expression suddenly became grave at the side.
She shouted loudly, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Hearing these words, the disciples of the Green Luan Clan took out the weapons in their hands one after another. Some disciples even consumed medicinal pills to quickly restore their cultivation bases.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, three forces rushed over from three different directions.
The disciples of the Green Luan Clan watched the disciples of the three forces with grave expressions.
After seeing the arrivals clearly, Qing Li blurted out directly, "So it is the Fellow Daoists of the Great Wind, Thunder Bird, and Blue Phoenix Clans. I do not know what business brings you here?"
A purple-haired man with lightning flowing over his head took a step forward and said, "Qing Li, was that Primordial Purple Light earlier a treasure of your Green Luan Clan?"
The corners of Qing Li's mouth rose slightly. "Lei Xiao, do you think my Green Luan Clan would be in such a sorry state if we possessed such a treasure?"
Hearing this, a look of contemplation flashed through Lei Xiao's eyes, and he smiled.
"True. Your Green Luan Clan only has its status today by relying on the Fire Phoenix Clan. If you had such a treasure, it would have long been taken by the Fire Phoenix Clan."
"Brother Lei, do not be deceived by this woman. In my opinion, we should still ask clearly whose hands that treasure is actually in."
A female cultivator wearing blue feather clothes looked at Qing Li with an unkind gaze.
As soon as her voice fell, a green-haired man at the side also nodded.
"Correct. Since the treasure is not yours, then tell us whose hands it is in."
"To be able to independently create a small world within this secret realm and sustain it for over ten hours, it must be a divine weapon."
Hearing these words, looks of astonishment appeared on the faces of the Green Luan Clan cultivators. They never expected that their group had been trapped in the Primordial Purple Light for so long.
Hearing this, Hong Li hurriedly spoke, "Eldest Young Miss, you must not."
Other disciples of the Green Luan Clan also chimed in one after another, "Right, we absolutely cannot betray Senior Brother Ye."
Hearing the three words "Senior Brother Ye," the cultivators of the three major forces thought rapidly in their minds. They wondered which of the eighteen princes traveling together had a powerhouse surnamed Ye.
The corners of Qing Li's mouth rose slightly. "Shut up, you bunch of ignorant fellows."
"Senior Brother Ye is a powerhouse who fought a Prince alone. If this group of ants dares to trouble Senior Brother Ye, are they not seeking their own death?"
As the words fell, the expressions of the disciples of the three major forces changed. Everyone cast unkind looks toward Qing Li.
Lei Xiao said coldly, "Qing Li, Huo Ming is not here right now. Without the assistance of the Fire Phoenix Clan, your Green Luan Clan is not our match."
Qing Li said with a face full of disdain, "What? Do you want to fight a life-and-death struggle with our Green Luan Clan?"
"Moreover, I was merely telling the truth. Could it be that you really want to go west to find trouble with the Xuan Province cultivators?"
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed through the eyes of Lei Xiao and the other two.
They never expected that Qing Li, this scheming woman, would sell out the owner of that mirror so easily.
"Is this true?"
Lan Yan stared fixedly at Qing Li. If it were any ordinary day, she would not believe a single word from this woman. But now that the treasure was right before her eyes, she had to take a gamble.
Qing Li smiled and said, "Lan Yan, I advise you not to target that person. Just now, that person performed a show of destroying flowers with a ruthless hand for us. Do not blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."
The more she said this, the less Lan Yan and the others believed her words.
"Hmph!"
Lan Yan snorted coldly. "You are not qualified to scare us. I do not believe that with our three families, we cannot take down a mere Xuan Province cultivator. Let's go!"
"Understood!"
The cultivators of the Blue Phoenix Clan responded in unison.
The cultivators of the other two families also chased toward the west, led by their Heaven's Favorites.
Hong Li watched the retreating figures of the three groups and questioned Qing Li, "Eldest Young Miss, how could you do this?"
Although the other disciples of the Green Luan Clan did not speak, they also cast displeased looks toward Qing Li in unison...
