Chapter 337 Sparks Fly
't know what kind of contact method the counselor used with the Protectorate General, but they got a reply so quickly. In short, the Protectorate General agreed to our terms, took us to the Northern S...Yun Tianxi's two followers each held a repeating crossbow, the tips of the arrows shimmering with an eerie green glow, clearly laced with deadly poison. In Yun Tianxi's hand was a compass. After Li Yunfan shook off Xiao Lao and the others, Yun Tianxi and his men followed the trail left by Xiao Lao. It was because of the compass in his hand that they did not get lost in the thick fog.
"Yun Tianxi" Li Yunfan showed a look of surprise and displeasure, "What are you guys trying to do"
Yun Tianxi let out a cold snort and said, "What I'm going to do, could it be that you, as an offspring of the Li family, can't guess"
"Didn't the Ling family of Shonan and my Li family have an agreement, to not harm each other's clansmen So, it seems you want to tear up the alliance" Li Yun's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, but his eyes held no shred of fear.
“An alliance” Yun Tian smiled. “Don’t you remember when we were at the brothel, you already made your move first However, you are the direct descendant of the Li family, and the Shonan Ling family wouldn’t offend you for me. But… if it’s about the source of the Geng Jin, I think they would still do something. After all, you are only the direct descendant of the Li family, not the head of the Li family, right”
As expected, there were greater secrets hidden behind that Gengjin. Otherwise, those reclusive families wouldn't have torn each other apart to seize it. Qin Luoyan's heart became increasingly determined, and at the same time, she grew even more curious about where that complete mysterious map pointed.
“With just a few of you, do you think you can get past me” Li Yun weakly raised his hand, and as the applause fell, two guards appeared beside him. These two guards couldn’t follow him into the cave, but they had always been guarding the entrance. After he came out of the cave, they secretly followed him again.
But Yun Tianxi didn't seem flustered at all, instead he wore a calm expression. "Do you think I'll give you another chance just because I suffered a loss once Two guards are nothing!"
As he spoke, Yun Tianxi took a step forward holding his compass and pulled out an iron ball from his bosom. The iron ball seemed utterly harmless, but the most ordinary things are often capable of the most unexpected effects.
Qin Luo'yan's gaze fell on the iron bead, she couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed: "Be careful, that's an explosive bead!" Didn't these iron pillars' principle come from the small gadgets she and Yun Tianqing had created during their competition She didn't expect that the people in Tiangige would be so cunning, they actually mass-produced this thing and turned it into a weapon.
She developed it herself, so she naturally knew how lethal it was. Once that bead came close to the human body and exploded, it would be flesh flying and blood splattering everywhere.
"Well now, there's a discerning one here after all! Oh, right, you were there last time at the tavern when you beat old me up! It all comes easily today, but today, this old man wants to grumble and complain and seek revenge!" Yun Tianxi's pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his hand, throwing the iron beads over.
He seemed to splash randomly, but in fact he controlled the position of every bead very delicately.
"It's an array formation!" Qin Luoyan had learned the basics of formations, but her time studying was too short. This type of formation became her weakness. She knew that Yun Tianxi used iron beads to create the formation, but she couldn't figure out how to break it.
Yun Tianxi was, after all, the master of Tianji Pavilion. He was not an ordinary person in the study of weapon manufacturing and formations, so the seemingly ordinary iron bead, after passing through his hands, became imbued with a strange sense of pressure.
Li Hai reacted quickly, urging the camel towards the Dead Zone. However, he was still a step too late. The iron bead exploded beside him. Although his martial arts skills were good and he dodged most of the attack's power, a piece of skin on his arm was still burned.
Qin Luoyan shielded Li Yunfan with her fan, not daring to move. Luckily, she managed to dodge the blast radius of the iron bead explosion.
"Do you think you can hide" Yun Tianxi laughed, his eyes full of triumph.
Upon hearing this, Li Yun instantly realized what was going on and his face turned pale. “You poisoned the iron bead too! Yuntai Xi, you are so despicable! As the head of the renowned Tianji Pavilion, aren’t you afraid that people will laugh at your actions”
After the iron bead exploded, the poison entered the air. In the blink of an eye, Qin Luoyan and her two companions felt their limbs begin to weaken.
“Cowardly” Yun Tianxi coldly snorted, “Compared to life and success, what does being cowardly amount to Last time I was at the brothel, you took advantage of me. If I didn't use some extraordinary means, how could I have gotten revenge Oh, I forgot to mention, this old man has nothing else but a grudge. Since my family is unwilling to come to my aid, then I'll do it myself. Moreover, you are the direct descendant of the Li family, and there might be something I want on your person. If I find it, even if I killed you, my family might even praise me for doing well.”
“What do you want” Li Yun narrowed his brows and asked coldly.
Yun Tianxi shook his head. "Tell you, to let you hide things No, in a while when I kill you all, I will cut everything inside from beginning to end, piece by piece. The things on your bodies, I will definitely not miss."
Yun Tianxi winked at the person beside him, and the two attendants cautiously approached with their repeating crossbows.
“I know what they want.” Qin Luoyan suddenly spoke, startling Li Yanshan and Yun Tianxi. Ignoring their confusion, she continued, “Isn’t it the incomplete map you desire Now that I think about it, those artisans killed in the weapons workshop seem to share some common characteristics. They all studied at the Tiangji Pavilion or were originally from the Tiangji Pavilion.”
She suddenly remembered the patterns on the flesh she had seen in Xiao Fan's house, how similar they were to the fragments they had just obtained in the cave! They were clearly part of the same blueprint!
Upon hearing this, Yun Tianxi's face contorted for a moment, gritting his teeth and saying: "You guessed quite a bit..."
“I think the previous generation’s head of Tianji Pavilion hid this mysterious incomplete map, so he divided it into many small parts and tattooed them onto the bodies of his different outer disciples. Then, he let them pass down as heirlooms. Each person only received a small part of the incomplete map, so it was impossible for them to know what it was, but they were able to perfectly keep the secret of the incomplete map.”
When Qin Luo spoke, her mind was filled with the bodies of those who had been killed. She initially wondered why the killer would destroy the bodies after killing them. Now, looking back, it's obvious that it was just to hide the killer's true purpose: taking their skin.
