“What’s this……”

  Su Li was astonished and wanted to take off the ring, but found that it seemed to be one part of her hand. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get rid of it.

  Qi Xianqing smiled at her in relief, as if he had completed a very important mission.

  “Stop, my apprentice, as long as you wear the ring, you will never take it off.”

  “Really?”

  Su Li looked up coldly, and put fingers together to be a knife to cut the ring finger. Qi Xianqing did not stop her.

  At the moment when the cut in the skin appeared, Su Li forced herself to stop immediately and her face changed dark thoroughly.

  She could saw the black lotus ring suddenly disappearing from the ring finger and then reappearing on the little finger after twinkling a few times on another four fingers.

  “The ring is integrated into you, and it is not always in the same place. It’s useless even you cut all fingers.”

  Qi Xianqing said smugly. Su Li was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

  “Master, don’t you know my situation? The ring finally will return to you.”

  Su Li stared at Qi Xianqing and waited for his reaction. But Qi Xianqing just smiled and then disappeared in wind, leaving some words that rang in her ears.

  “I have killed the old ancestor in Ghost Valley for you, and you can use the rest people as you like even if they die. As for the other human with Life Ring, they have been sent to Spiritual Realm. I’m busy in other business and I will find you if necessary……”

  Su Li raised her head, looking at the direction in which Qi Xianqing disappeared.

  There was an old ancestor in Ghost Valley?

  Why didn’t the old ancestor have any reaction when she fought against Ghost Valley? If that old ancestor came from the ancient period……

  “Why does Qi Xianqing can fight in the mirror and has no reversed effect. Is…… Is that the talent of Ghost Clan?”

  Thinking of this, Su Li frowned at Qi Xianqing who could go wherever he wanted……

  She raised her hand to look at the normal black lotus ring on her little finger. Then she took a breath and her eyes seemed to have a wisp of fire.

  No matter what would happen, she would follow her plan and no one could stop her. ……

  At lunchtime, Su Li didn’t see Ling Li, and she didn’t find him at the study. When she was wondering, Qu Lu, who wore a maid costume, came in and saluted,

  “Mistress.”

  In fact, she was Ling Qinglan’s elder sister, but she disguised as a maid in Ling Mansion for her safety, so, she needed to act as a maid.

  Su Li nodded slightly and asked, “Where did Ling Li go?”

  “I…… I don’t know.”

  \r \r \r

  Qu Lu hesitated because she actually knew where did Ling Li go, but she was told not to tell Su Li by Qinglan.

  Su Li squinted, sitting at the place where Ling Li dealt with affairs, and said, “Qu Lu, how dare you lie to me?”

  !!

  Qu Lu panicked and took a few steps back for her identity being exposed. She asked, “Who…… Who…… Who are you?”

  “It doesn’t matter who I am.”

  Su Li smiled, “The most important thing is where did Ling Li go. Ling Qinglan did so because he worried that I would act rashly. Since they have left for such a long time, you can tell me now.”

  Qu Lu bit her lower lip with internal debates. She was scared by Su Li’s words just now, so, finally she changed her mind. She knelt down and told everything she knew.

  “They have been away for more than two hours. I heard that the destination is…… is a newly-opened whorehouse called Tianxiang House in Yun…… Yunjing City. Mistress, please keep the secret, and I just want to stay with my little brother. I don’t……”

  When Qu Lu was speaking, she felt something wrong, so, she raised her head but found nobody on the chair behind the table.

  Had mistress gone?

  When?

  Qu Lu was puzzled, and soon frightened. Wasn’t Su Li always in acquired eighth hurdle? She wondered why she even didn’t notice her leaving with her acquired ninth hurdle.

  “Isn’t she the real Su Li? Who else…… is she?”

  Qu Lu sat on the ground dumbly with morbid thoughts.

  Let’s talk about what happened at Tianxiang House at the same time.

  The lobby was bright and spacious, and the vermilion decoration made it brighter. Ling Li stood silently with his cold face on a circle carpet in the center of the lobby.

  Dozens of women in disheveled clothes lay on the edge of the carpet. From this, maybe Ling Li stunned them when they tried to get close to him.

  “A tactical matrix?”

  Ling Li looked around, and saw that rooms on the second floor were symmetrical on all sides, just like two peas. The stairs on both sides had strange patterns, but some were familiar. He immediately realized that he was trapped into a tactical matrix. No wonder he couldn’t see the other people such as Ling Qinglan and Ling Mo.

  Just then, a fascinating voice came from all directions.

  “Wow, you are quite famous in the martial arts circle. I really admired you, but…… should I call you Your Excellency or Third Master Ling……”

  Before she finished the words, Ling Li’s eyesight suddenly sharped. He turned around, pointing to the second floor with two fingers. A sword came from the strength of his fingers pierced through the window. With a hum, the fascinating voice stopped abruptly.

  The first attack was succeeded, and Ling Li attacked again. He smashed the wooden door. A hidden figure in the wood dust flew away. With a glance, he still saw the person’s face. She was the hierarch of Hehuan Sect, Ye Tian!

  The second blow failed, and Ling Li stopped. He walked calmly back to the center of the lobby, staring at a closed room upstairs, and laughing loudly, “Lord Ye, why did you hide? Is it because that your face is not as fascinating as your voice that no one can look at you?”

  Ye Tian was hiding in the dark. Hearing the words, Ye Tian’s face turned gloomy. However, she lived so long that she kept silent.

  Ling Li, the third childe of Ling Mansion, was around 18 years old this year, but his cultivation was higher than hers!

  Ling Li has reached the longevity realm in less than 20 years which she pursued for whole life! It made her feel so jealous!

  No wonder…… No wonder he could controlled Yinmo Cult, ruled Tianji Country, and ruined many forces at a young age!

  This time, was the turn of Hehuan Sect?

  Ye Tian became more and more crazy. But her voice became fascinating again and was even shriller than a night owl. Even Ling Qinglan and others who kept some distances away felt uncomfortable when hearing it.

  “Ling Li, don’t be smug! Your Yinmo Cult is not qualified to ruin my Hehuan Sect. I want to see your reaction in front of ‘the thing’, ha, ha, ha……”

  Ling Mo and Ling Qinglan changed their face at the same time, and shouted, “Hurry up, do your best to attack that direction to break the tactical matrix!”

  All followers of Yinmo Cult immediately began to attack the tactical matrix forcibly to the direction where Ling Li stood, but it was too slow to break the tactical matrix. It needed to take at least one hour to destroy it.

  “I didn’t know that Hehuan Sect’s tactical matrix is as good as poisoning. If I did, I should have brought a tactical matrix elder.”

  Ling Qinglan’s face turned depressed. Ling Mo shook his head and stabbed at the same place by his sword, “We had killed eighty percent followers of Hehuan Sect since we came. She is just a lord of sect who didn’t reach the longevity realm, so, I believe master can defeat her. After we go out, master may finish.”

  Lin Qinglan joined in the attack and sighed, “I hope so.” ……

  When they were breaking the tactical matrix, the scenery around Ling Li had changed from the palatial lobby to a deserted subterranean plain. At the foot of him, there was a black hole and a long ladder extended downward, which could swallow him.

  Ling Li frowned. He doubted that there was a horrible thing inside the hole where Ye Tian just rushed in in spite of his attack. Maybe she was not lying?

  “I have already come here, so, I can’t give up and go back!”

  Considering this, Ling Li walked into the hole with a rakish smile. He disappeared gradually in the dark.

  Tick, tick……

  The sound of falling water echoed in the quiet cave. Ling Li walked more than thousand steps. Under his feet, a squishy road replaced the arid stone ladder. A disgusting smell in the air appeared, which might make the ordinary people vomit as soon as they smell it.

  “I have never smelled this.”

  Ling Li covered his nose and mouth, and continued to walk tensely. After a long time, a green shimmer appeared in the depth of the dark hole.

  “Is that an exit?”

  Ling Li refreshed, and speeded up. At the edge of the hole, he suddenly stopped.

  There was a person in front of him. Exactly, it was a mummy. He approached slowly and cautiously. After he examined the mummy carefully, he suddenly realized what it was.

  “Ye Tian?”

  The lord of Hehuan Sect just died of being sucked out of all blood, but he felt nothing.

  The sense of horror spread in the silence.

  Ling Li felt his blood being frozen. The situation was beyond his imagination. He thought that “the thing” mentioned by Ye Tian might be an old ancestor of Hehuan Sect. But now, she died, and “the thing” might……

  “Hiss…… Who is out there? Why don’t you enter to chat with me?”

  A fascinating voice as sweet as honey appeared in Ling Li’s mind, which made him feel dizzy. He couldn’t help walking towards the cave.

  At the urgent time, Ling Li bit his tongue, and then he felt a sharp pain with the smell of blood in his mouth. Under the painful stimulation, he controlled himself again.

  He turned around immediately and swept upward without any hesitation. But with few steps, he stopped.
