Ge Xiantong's Whereabouts

"Oh, everyone's here! Brother Weiyi, you're finally out of seclusion! We haven't had a chance to get together these past few days."

After Tang Wanqiu arrived, she grabbed Li Weiyi's hand tightly, showing extreme enthusiasm.

Accompanying them was Wanyan Xiaose, dressed in a green robe.

She was the top expert among the younger generation in Yingzhou, Northern Border. She wore many exquisite silver ornaments and looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Her figure was extremely voluptuous, with beautiful curves in her chest and waist, which was incomparable to the budding Li Ling and Yao Yin.

She not only cultivates martial arts, but also possesses extremely high Psychic Power Attainment, being Calamity Fire Realm Great Mind Master, and raising countless insects.

"Brother, I heard you've raised seven rare insects of the Marquis-level. Could you show them to your little sister?"

Wanyan Xiaose's two almond-shaped eyes were bright and full of expectation. Coupled with her exquisitely beautiful face, she stared straight at Li Weiyi. It would be hard for any other man to refuse her.

Li Weiyi was pondering how to refuse.

But then, Li Ling scoffed, "The so-called seven Marquis-level rare insects are nothing but a scheme by villains to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Sister Wanyan is so intelligent, how could she believe such a rumor?"

Wanyan Xiaose smiled wryly, "It's because my Wanyan Clan is famous throughout the world for its insect-controlling abilities. When I heard that my friend was raising some extraordinary insects, how could I resist my curiosity? I apologize for being too presumptuous just now."

Since the other party came from a family of insect tamers, Li Weiyi was even more reluctant to take out the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor. Even if she couldn't recognize it, describing it to the elders of her family after returning Lineage would become a risk.

I'd rather let her suspect.

Seeing that Li Weiyi was completely unmoved by beauty, seemingly not as rumored, Tang Wanqiu's eyes darted around, and she laughed heartily, "Brother Weiyi, Wanyan is just that straightforward. She's Proud Daughter of Heaven, spoiled by the elders of her clan. Don't take it to heart. You're both Insect Tamer, so you must have a lot in common. You can discuss and interact more in the future."

Li Weiyi thought to himself, Tang Wanqiu is quite shrewd. She was clearly there to test whether he had mastered the seven Marquis-level rare insects, yet she managed to advance and retreat with composure, without being aggressive. She is truly tactful in her dealings with people.

Immediately afterward, Tang Wanqiu's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Ge Xiantong's hiding place has been found! We must strike him hard before he recovers from his injuries, and ideally surround and kill him to eliminate this major threat."

Cangli feigned ignorance. "Finding him shouldn't be difficult using the location on the invitation, right? Why did it take you until today?"

Tang Wanqiu plopped down in the chair opposite Cangli and smiled, "Brother Li, you may not know this, but according to the location of the Longevity Pill on the invitation, the three Longevity Pill tickets held by Ge Xiantong and the one held by Jiang Ning are all in the Governor's Mansion."

"The governor's mansion boasts the most array formations and the largest number of spirit masters in the city. Furthermore, it is guarded by a large number of experts from the Imperial Court, making it virtually impregnable."

"In the past few days, Xue Jian Tang Ting used the Thunder Law Profound Ice to break the formation and attacked the governor's mansion several times as a test. Furthermore, there are spies lurking within, so it's certain that Ge Xiantong is definitely not recuperating in the governor's mansion."

Cangli suddenly realized, "If I were Ge Xiantong, I wouldn't easily expose myself after being injured."

"Smack!"

Tang Wanqiu clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly right! Not only are we looking for him, but Phoenix-born Unicorn-young has also activated the Death Ember hidden within the Imperial Court. Several Death Ember destruction events have already occurred in the governor's mansion."

Cangli asked, "Where is Ge Xiantong hiding?"

"Immortal Forest," Tang Wanqiu said.

Cangli was moved and said, "He actually hid in such a high-profile and dangerous place?"

"So why is he the best in the world? His immortal Immortal Forest floats in mid-air, overlooking the entire city, and he can see all the changes in the situation. As long as there is a major change in the Imperial Court, he can immediately go to provide reinforcements." Tang Wanqiu said.

Cangli said, "Brother Tang seems to have an even stronger interest in Ge Xiantong than in the Longevity Pill tickets in the governor's mansion."

"We're brothers, there's nothing to hide."

Tang Wanqiu said cautiously, "Lantern Festival, the Longevity Pill tickets are a hot potato. The more you get, the more likely you are to become a target of attack. Moreover, attacking the governor's mansion is tantamount to a decisive battle with the Imperial Court. Even if we win and get the Longevity Pill tickets, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Hunting the injured Ge Xiantong will actually be easier."

"As long as Xue Jian Tang Ting kills Ge Xiantong, the number one young talent, at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, even if I don't become the Hidden Dragon of the Lantern Festival, returning to the North will still be a glorious experience, and all the old guys will look at me with new eyes."

"The more important significance lies beyond the lantern festival. I am telling the world that Xue Jian Tang Ting has always been the leader of the Rebel Army, the vanguard against the Imperial Court, and has the ability to defeat Imperial Court."

Cangli nodded slightly. "Brother Tang, what a spirit! If you can kill Ge Xiantong, your reputation at the Du'e Temple will definitely be high. When will the operation take place?"

"The sooner the better, it's better to be sooner rather than later."

Tang Wanqiu asked, "Brother Li, how much of your injury have you recovered?"

"There's a 70% chance."

Cangli was no fool and immediately reminded him, "Brother Tang, are you going to use the Jiu Li Tribe's assistance in this battle against Ge Xiantong?"

In other words...

After defeating Ge Xiantong, the Jiu Li Tribe will no longer owe you any favors.

Tang Wanqiu said, "Right now Phoenix-born Unicorn-young is dealing with the Zhu Clan in the Western Territory, while the Zuoqiu Courtyard is joining forces with the Zhu Clan to fight against them. Meanwhile, some of the Imperial Court's forces have been dispatched to the Eastern Territory. If I don't seize this opportunity, I'll truly be a worm in the Northern Territory. Is it possible to summon Li Jiufu back? Your sister's Golden Sword Talisman will also be very useful."

Cangli was displeased and didn't want Li Ling to participate in such a dangerous battle, but he had promised and couldn't refuse. So he nodded in agreement.

Tang Wanqiu and Cangli discussed the specific details of the operation.

After shaking off the clingy Wanyan Xiaose, Li Weiyi went to Bai Shu's residence, intending to meet Yang ZhiYong and Yang Yun.

Wanyan Xiaose is naturally extremely beautiful, but she is too ambitious and has a deep mind. If she really discovers the secret of the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, "Brother Yi" will probably become "Li Weiyi is doomed" in an instant.

Insect Tamer controls seven extraordinary insects with the strength of the Longevity Realm can sit on equal footing with the head of a family even in the Myriad Gate Families.

Faced with such temptation, it is not surprising that Wanyan Xiaose would throw himself into her arms and even offer himself to her in order to find out the truth about the grade of the strange insect.

Yang ZhiYong and Yang Yun were both bound by magical chains and hidden in the cellar. Bai Shu told Li Weiyi that she had placed Death Spirit Fire inside their bodies, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.

Yang ZhiYong sat on the ground, his eyes icy cold. "Li Weiyi, kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. If I, Yang ZhiYong, even flinch, I am unworthy of the Yang surname."

Sitting next to him, Yang Yun frowned deeply, feeling that Yang ZhiYong shouldn't have provoked this ruthless man like that.

In this world, there are many things more terrifying than death.

Li Weiyi stood silently in the dimly lit cellar, carefully observing Yang ZhiYong's every word, action, and physical characteristics.

Yang ZhiYong, "I know that the reason we're still alive is because you want to use us to threaten the Young Lady. But you've miscalculated. The Young Lady has been incredibly kind to me. We'd rather die than become your bargaining chips. Right, Yang Yun?"

Yang Yun found it difficult to speak, stammering, "With our cultivation levels, it's probably very difficult for us to kill ourselves by crashing into something. Besides, he won't give us that chance."

"You coward! The Young Lady is wise and decisive, how could she have a brother like you?" Yang ZhiYong cursed angrily.

Yang Yun said, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just stating the facts..."

"Yang Qingxi is dead!" Li Weiyi said.

The two people on the ground looked up, both stunned.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible! Young Lady clearly escaped... What trick are you trying to pull now?"

Yang ZhiYong reacted even more strongly than Yang Yun, and simply did not believe Li Weiyi's words.

Li Weiyi said, "Yes, I also want to know why her body was found in Soldier Ancestor Marsh seven days later, even though she clearly escaped. Now everyone says I killed her, but only you know how wronged I am."

Seeing his extremely serious expression, Yang ZhiYong and Yang Yun trembled inwardly, already believing him to be about 70-80%.

"How could this happen? My sister's cultivation and combat strength were so strong, how could she suddenly die?" Yang Yun muttered to himself, unable to accept it.

Yang ZhiYong knew there were two Yang Qingxi, but in his eyes, both were Young Lady he respected greatly. No matter which one died, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing him immense pain.

He clenched his fists, his eyes red-rimmed. "Li Weiyi, since Young Lady is already dead, we have no value. Let us go back, and we'll testify for you that you weren't the one who killed her."

"Even if Yang Qingxi dies, there's another one. Your value remains."

Li Weiyi felt that the five boxes of Spring Coin were most likely stolen by another Yang Qingxi. Taking advantage of the Xue Jian Tang Ting's big operation today, he went to the Sui Sect's residence to find out what happened.

"Of course you two have to go back, but in another way."

North City, a long-established noodle shop.

The weather was bad, and there were only three diners.

Steaming hot noodles were served, and Li Weiyi first picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup.

The broth is rich and thick, made from mutton.

Bai Shu and Yang Yun sat on either side of each other.

While eating, Li Weiyi instructed, "Today, the Xue Jian Tang Ting will send a group of martial artists to feign an attack on the governor's mansion. Yang Qingxi and the experts from the Sui Sect will definitely have to go to their aid. Let's take advantage of this gap to head to the Sui Sect's base."

"Bai Shu, you stay outside and be ready to provide backup at any time."

Li Weiyi decided to first check if Yang Qingchan was really dead before deciding how to ambush Yang Qingxi.

Now that his cultivation has advanced further, reaching the perfection of the Fourth Sea Realm, he is no longer afraid of the younger generation of the Sui Sect. Moreover, he has a box of Thunder Law Profound Ice, so he is not even afraid of the formations at the Sui Sect's stronghold.

This is perhaps what Zuoqiu Ting meant by the heart of a strong person.

Yang Yun stared at the soup noodles in front of her, utterly devastated and with no appetite. She pleaded pitifully, "Please don't kill my sister... I only have one sister left..."

Li Weiyi bit off a piece of the dough, looked up, and said, "What, you don't want to cooperate?"

Yang Yun's face instantly fell even further.

Bai Shu, wearing a black veil and hood, concealed her extraordinary beauty and Pure Immortal Body. She smiled seductively, "Without any trump cards, how can you negotiate? If Brother Yi cannot emerge from the Sui Sect's stronghold, I will immediately activate the Death Spirit Fire within you. So, you must obey!"

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Even Phoenix-born Unicorn-young had to back down when facing the top brother. Do you think you could be a match for him? Don't be reckless!"

"You overdid it!" Li Weiyi said, her face flushed with embarrassment.
