Chapter 158 – Search by risking lives


    For Liao Lele, this was thest straw that could save her.


    “Long Yu, are you sure?”


    Liao Lele stared at him with her eyes wide open.


    “Yes, I’m sure.”


    Long Yu said: “I cannot say for sure that someone from Qiansi Sect is present here. All I know is that by targeting you they have actually attacked at the core of your alchemy skills. Whoever did this wants you to doubt your skills in order to hinder your cultivation and alchemy training. Liao Lele, beware of this trap…..”


    Liao Lele did not say anything as Long Yu did not have any solid evidence to prove that Uncle Li was really killed by the Shadow poison used by Qiansi Sect!


    Because of this, more vigers had encircled them now with more intense indignant looks on their faces than earlier!


    “You are from the same sect as this witch! Of course you will favour her. A man from our vige being poisoned by Qiansi Sect, how is that possible?”


    “Our righteous Uncle Li had no enmity with anyone from Qiansi Sect. Then why would they send their experts to brutally kill Uncle Li?”


    “These people from martial sects have maligned hearts. After attaining power, they hold no worth of human life!”


    The people started talking among themselves, making usations, but Long Yu stayed unmoved.


    He sneered: “If I really held no worth of human life, I would have killed all of you right now!”


    Hearing this, the vigers immediately stopped talking. A silence prevailed as they withdrew several steps and were now vigntly looking at Long Yu.


    They had sensed by now that this young man d in grey clothes had formidable power and could really kill them all if he wanted to!


    Even Liao Lele had a cultivation of Wudao eighthyer and could easily confront all vigers, let alone Long Yu who was much more powerful than Liao Lele!


    “Ha ha ha ha ha!”


    The sound ofughter of a female was heard by all of them all of a sudden. It seemed that the sound wasing from all the directions.


    Liao Lele and the vigers were shocked and scared at the same time. Was this theughter of a girl or a ghost?


    Except for Long Yu, everyone else was scared.


    It was now clear that someone from Qiansi Sect was really present in the vicinity.


    “Long Yu, you arete. I didn’t expect to see you here…..”


    The girl continued giggling: “If you had not arrived here, Zhentian Sect would only have lost this doll of alchemy division. But now, Zhentian Sect will lose you too!”


    If only Liao Lele had been present there, she would have easily epted the death of Uncle Li as her fault and wouldn’t have reported the incident to Old White. Thus, no trouble would have befallen Qiansi Sect.


    But now, Long Yu was there and correctly assessed the situation, so now it had be important to kill both of them!


    Since Long Yu was a target of Prince Chu Chao Sheng, if she were to kill him, Chu Chao Sheng would definitely support her in case of any usations directed her way from Zhentian sect. So, not only was her life out of any danger, but killing Long Yu might help her to develop better rtions with Chu Chao Sheng!


    As the sinisterughter could be heard by everyone, Long Yu’s eyes shed with strong killing intention which rmed Liao Lele.


    Liao Lele trembled with fear as she could not understand what exactly was happening there.


    Long Yu quickly reacted at this moment.


    “Go!”


    Long Yu grasped his Qian dragon spear and swayed it in the air!


    The next moment, he held Liao Lele by her waist and took a high jump into the sky.


    Puff! Puff! Puff!


    At that time three shadows shed from the shadow of a nearby house and pierced the ce where Liao Lele had originally been standing.


    If Long Yu hadn’t reacted quickly enough, Liao Lele would be dead by now!


    “Your reaction speed is not slow. But it’s such a pity that you have to face me, so there is no escape for you…..”


    A strange female voice continued to chuckle and manipted the shadow of the clouds topletely envelope Long Yu and Liao Lele inside it.


    “Die!”


    The female voice shouted severely!


    Soon, Long Yu found himself and Liao Lele trapped in the shadow threads as fine as spider web, hanging in the air!


    This martial expert of Qiansi Sect had disyed Qiansi shadow tactics and had certainlyprehended the Qiansi Silk Law!


    The term ‘silk’ didn’t refer to the spider web; it referred to the technique of manipting the shadows to form almost invisible threads. Only the powerhouses who hadprehended the Qiansi mood could use Qiansi Silk Law!


    Qiansi Silk Law had a strong binding effect, so even if the opponent was of the same cultivation level, he would be immediately suppressed by the binding effect.


    Needless to say, this martial expert of all-women Qiansi sect had a cultivation level of Zhenling 4thyer or above.


    Long Yu could easily assess the cultivation level of his opponent by observing their techniques, except if the opponent was hiding their true strength.


    “Zhentian domain, suppress!”


    Long Yu shouted while holding Liao Lele’s slender waist with one hand and as he waved his other hand, Zhentian Sun appeared behind him!


    Fierce illumination of Zhentian Sun and the tyrannical suppression of Zhentian domain made the shadows manipted by the Qiansi girl crumble immediately!


    The Qiansi girl had already assessed that Long Yu was just a Zhenling 2ndyer expert and made the same mistake as Wen Ze – underestimating Long Yu!


    Long Yu fell to the ground; his heart throbbed fast as Liao Lele fell upon him.


    Earlier, Long Yu had been able to kill two Zhenling 4thyer powerhouses not only because they had underestimated him, but also because they had exposed themselves to Long Yu.


    But now in the case of this Qiansi girl, Long Yu had no idea of her whereabouts. She simply did not make any appearance and wasunching powerful sneak attacks to harass Long Yu and Liao Lele!


    “I must find where she is hiding. Without finding her, I cannot beat her…..”


    Long Yu stood up and alertly looked all around him for her, clutching his Qian dragon spear.


    This short confrontation had already made a lot of vigers tremble with fear.


    None of them had imagined that Long Yu’s spection would be a reality so quickly!


    A Qiansi powerhouse was hiding in the vicinity of their vige, so it was clear that Uncle Li was killed by the poison of the same Qiansi powerhouse!


    Immediately, all of them felt strong guilt for wrongly using Liao Lele.


    After absorbing the immortality pill concocted by Liao Lele, the condition of Uncle Li had immediately improved a lot. He had been bed-ridden for the past two or three months, but within two hours of consuming the immortality pill concocted by Liao Lele, he got out of his bed and had even started walking!


    Although he was still weak, his condition had really improved.


    Originally, Liao Lele was an orphan. After joining Zhentian Sect and learning alchemy there, she strived to work for the needy vigers and was now the object of their respect and gratitude.


    However, it was the same vigers who had been cursing her whole-heartedly a few minutes ago!


    All the vigers now felt sorry for her. But now, since the Qiansi powerhouse was beyond their cultivation levels, they could not dare to interfere in thebat that was going on!


    “I have heard that the Qiansi powerhouses are very good at hiding themselves. If her body is discovered, Liao Lele and her fellow disciple should be able to beat her, right?”


    Immediately, a young viger came up with a solution.


    For them, both Long Yu and the Qiansi powerhouse had indomitable strengths; they simply couldn’t differentiate between the cultivation levels of these two.


    They could only help Long Yu by finding the ce where the Qiansi powerhouse was hiding, letting Long Yu avenge the death of Uncle Li!


    Several vigers scattered in all directions immediately, though half scared to death all the while, in order to find the Qiansi powerhouse.


    Long Yu thought that they were fleeing to save their lives; he preferred having no nuisances around him anyway.


    Presently, all his thoughts were focussed on detecting the exact location of the Qiansi powerhouse.


    “You want to find me? It’s not that easy, Long Yu! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”


    Theughter of the Qiansi girl echoed from all directions as the shadow of the clouds were animated andunched towards Long Yu in order to entrap him.


    “For now, I am unable to detect her location. I can only defend myself!”


    Long Yu’s heart turned cold. He didn’t withdraw his Zhentian Sun and continued releasing the suppression of Zhentian domain.


    Under the great suppression of Zhentian domain, the speed with which the shadows were moving toward him slowed down to a great extent, so now it was impossible for them to entrap Long Yu!


    “Hahahaha! The genius of Zhentian Sect, the descendant of the mighty Long n, really lives up to his reputation! It is such a pity that you can only defend my attacks, but for how long?”


    That sinisterughter echoed again and the girl said: “I really want to see for how long you can continue to release Zhentian domain for defence, being a trivial expert of Zhenling 2ndyer!”


    The voice faded and continued to manipte the shadows andunch them towards Long Yu, as he continued defending himself and Liao Lele.


    Once Long Yu’s power exhausted, he would be entrapped by these shadows and then he would have no means of escaping!


    If he continued releasing Zhentian domain like this, his body would use up all the stored xuanqi very soon.


    Although after quenching his Dantian with the thunder mines, the xuanqi level of his body was being replenished faster than any ordinary martial expert but still it was not enough to fight with a Zhenling 4thyer powerhouse!


    “Long Yu, be careful!”


    Liao Lele, who was standing beside him, looked at him anxiously.


    Since she had a cultivation level of Wudao eighthyer, she could sense that the Qiansi powerhouse was more powerful than Long Yu; her cultivation level was perhaps oneyer above Long Yu’s cultivation level.


    In such case, she could easily defeat Long Yu with her sneak attacks!


    “Rest assured!”


    Long Yu could feel his xuanqi level exhausting and was feeling uneasy. Was this the time to release Nine Hidden Dragon Zhenling?


    If it was not absolutely necessary, Long Yu never wanted to congeal his second Zhenling.


    However, if he did not release it now, he would most probably be killed by this Qiansi girl. After all, her strength was double the strength of Long Yu. Moreover, she was hiding herself and wasunching sneak attacks!


    At this moment, some vigers screamed loudly from a spot not far away from Long Yu.


    “Here, she is hiding here!”


    The shouts of the vigers, one after another, reached Long Yu’s ears.


    Long Yu heard the screams and a cold light shed in his eyes. He could see that the vigers were roaming in groups as if to find something, and now one of these groups had started screaming as if something happened to them.


    “These vigers actually……This opportunity must not be lost!”


    Long Yu’s heart skipped a beat.


    While he thought that these vigers had been cowering and fleeing away, they had been risking their own lives, searching the exact location of the Qiansi powerhouse for him!
