Chapter 317: The Only Soothing Avian_2
One person, seated on the left, is a woman.
Two persons, seated on the right, are two men.
But at this moment, should anyone stumble upon this meeting, they would undoubtedly be shocked to the core.
Because those two men are none other than Li Family's two top-tier experts, rumored in the legends!
Li Shiquan! And... Li Shidao!
These two absolutely irreconcilable individuals, who have fought each other tooth and nail for the inheritance of the Li Family's leadership, have come face to face in life-and-death struggles as brothers.
Now, however, they sit together in peace, getting along calmly!
How can this not cause people's jaws to drop, how can it not leave them dumbstruck?
Compared with these two significant figures from the Li Family, the woman sitting opposite them seems somewhat ordinary and unnamed.
Yet, if Fang Yu were here, he would definitely recognize her at a glance: she is the very Miss Bai with over 70,000 health points, the one who previously sat on equal footing with Li Shiquan!
The trio met, yet simply sat there calmly drinking wine, occasionally glancing down and then retracting their gaze, as if waiting for someone to pass by.
"Hasn't arrived yet?"
Bai Wanxi leaned forward, pressing her ample bosom onto the table, holding a white jade wine cup in one hand, lazily tilting it slightly, letting the wine pour down the tilt of the cup into her mouth.
She stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and then her gaze moved to face the two men opposite her, or rather, to the middle-aged man.
"Be patient. This is a rare opportunity."
Bai Wanxi's arms hung down, bringing the wine cup to her lips, slowly licking along the rim with her tongue, while her gaze moved from the middle-aged man to the side, towards the long-haired, alluring young man.
"With just the two of us, can we handle it?"
Li Shiquan merely smiled.
"Not everyone is a Monster like Lin Yiqiu. The Yangshen Hall Master is nowhere near that level."
"That time, it really frightened me a lot."
Bai Wanxi extended her other hand, covering her chest, as if her heart was thumping wildly.
Her affectation was just right, a gesture that arouses pity.
But the alluring young man in front of her didn't even bother to glance at her.
Suddenly, Bai Wanxi flipped her hand and sat up straight, frowning as she said,
"Why bring this guy along when we're working? He's an eyesore."
Li Shiquan still smiled.
"We need to keep a backup. In case anything goes wrong, he can help us repair the human skin mask, making it flawlessly restored."
The last few words, Li Shiquan emphasized.
But Bai Wanxi let out a cold huff, her face turning sour.
Her emotions were fickle, full of capricious changes.
Suddenly, a small green bird fluttered laboriously through the window to the trio's wine table.
Bai Wanxi acted as if she hadn't seen it, only keeping her gaze on Li Shiquan.
What she did not expect, however, was that Li Shiquan suddenly furrowed his brows, his unfriendly eyes slowly shifting toward Li Shidao.
"I should have said that there's important business to take care of today."
Li Shidao lifted his eyelids, his expression calm: "...someone down there must have something important to report, otherwise they wouldn't use a Soothing Avian to send a message."
Li Shiquan's expression became colder.
He gave Green Demon just one Soothing Avian, a Soothing Avian that completely conceals his own traces.
This is absolute trust, and also a way to gather people's hearts.
But now, taking advantage of his trust, Green Demon seemed to be acting recklessly.
Today's matter is as important as the time when they ambushed Lin Yiqiu! No accidents or disturbances are allowed!
"Just this once."
Li Shiquan's tone, for once, carried a stern warning.
And at this moment, Green Demon raised his finger, catching the Soothing Avian that landed on his hand.
Then, a series of fine wooden spikes were suddenly thrust into the body of the Soothing Avian.
Though this method allows for the very secretive receipt of messages, the Soothing Avian is doomed!
That is to say, the only Soothing Avian Li Shiquan gave to Green Demon was so easily used up by him!
Li Shiquan's brows knitted together again, now he was a bit curious about what Green Demon used such an important Soothing Avian for.
After Green Demon finished receiving the message, he suddenly stood up! His expression tense!
"Foolish Underworld is purging my territory of the demon's remnants!"
At the sound of this, both Li Shiquan and Bai Wanxi were stunned.
Coming back to their senses, they nearly couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This is what scared you?" Bai Wanxi covered her stomach with laughter, suddenly finding Li Shiquan somewhat endearing.
"Green Demon, sit down. Let Foolish Underworld sweep away as much of the demon's remnants as they want. If today we can eliminate that old man, Foolish Underworld will directly lose a top-tier combatant. Who gains and who loses, there is no need for me to say more."
Seeing the reaction of these two, Green Demon slowly furrowed his brows.
"...I need to go back for a bit."
After saying this, Green Demon turned to leave, but...
Smack!
A hand pressed directly on his shoulder!
And... the force was very heavy!
Green Demon turned his head, looking towards Li Shiquan.
And Li Shiquan's response, just two words.
"Sit down!"
"Giggle giggle!" Bai Wanxi covered her mouth, laughing.
Green Demon wanted to say something...
"Sit down!!"
Bang!
The force suddenly increased, and Green Demon was pressed down hard, sitting on the ground mat!
"Drink, waiting for someone. Today, even if the sky falls, you have to accompany me and get things done first!"
Amid Bai Wanxi's increasingly unrestrained laughter, Green Demon slowly clenched his fist, yet was unable to leave his seat by an inch!
"Diao Deyi... hold on! You must hold on! Hold on until I return!"
Thinking of the message on the Soothing Avian, Green Demon was burning with impatience.
In a short time, four demon tails, together with their territories, were swept clean by the Foolish Underworld, an utterly overwhelming onslaught!
If Green Demon were to deal with it, he could naturally hold it off.
But what about Diao Deyi... how could he withstand such an assault!
With this in mind, Green Demon turned his head towards Li Shiquan, his voice tinged with suppressed anger.
"When will the person..."
"Shush!"
Li Shiquan suddenly put a finger to his lips.
"The person has arrived."
Below the trio, on a street next to Lin Lang Restaurant.
A luxurious eight-bearer sedan, followed by a dozen or so people.
This grand procession, under the trio's gaze, was about to arrive at the Lin Family.
...
"Did you see that?"
"I saw it."
"How many people?"
"Twenty-three!"
Fang Yu posed as though he was relieved.
"Fewer than I thought."
Bie Huzi hastily said with a smile: "Lucky! It seems to be just a small team acting separately, apparently average in strength."
"Take people around, check their composition."
"Yes!"
Bie Huzi turned to leave, but Fang Yu called him back.
"Wait!"
"Master?"
"Try to capture some alive, to gather some intelligence."
Bie Huzi immediately understood.
"Yes!"
With a wave from Bie Huzi, a dozen demons with three to four thousand Qi in blood followed him, and dozens more with a thousand or two Qi in blood trailed at the end.
A nearly hundred-strong demon force against a dozen or so from the Foolish Underworld, it was almost like attacking from a higher dimension unless there was an expert among them.
However, since it's a separated small team, the probability of there being an expert was still quite low.
Watching Bie Huzi lead a gang of demons stronger than himself to handle the task, Che Linfang beside him wore a sullen face.
"Diao Deyi, I could have done such a task..."
"Eh! Let Bie Huzi do it, you have more important tasks to handle."
Che Linfang certainly knew she had more important missions, but the messages hadn't been passed back yet.
Che Linfang was contemplating this when she heard Fang Yu suddenly ask.
"By the way, when you were at the inn before, you said that there were demons from Yangshen Hall wanting to join under me? Since when could demons infiltrate Yangshen Hall?"
Fang Yu was utterly puzzled.
Was there an update?
Previously wasn't it said that demons could hardly infiltrate high levels of the Foolish Underworld, so how come suddenly there were lurking demon comrades, and all from Yangshen Hall at that.
"No, no!" Che Linfang shook her head repeatedly.
At the inn before, she was so overwhelmed by the explosive information about the death of several demon tails, she had forgotten to explain to Fang Yu in detail.
"Those few who infiltrated Yangshen Hall, they didn't climb up slowly from the bottom like you and me. They directly killed people from Yangshen Hall and took their place."
