Lei Yue's expression shifted slightly. As he drove his short spear to fend off Mi He's attacks, he spoke.
"How did you know about the Bronze Key Coffin? And how did you know it was in my hands?"
Mi He said disdainfully, "Lei Yue, do you really think you're the only clever person in the world? After you and I explored the Longevity Hall, I scoured the ancient books in the sect's library and finally found records concerning the Longevity Hall. According to those records, there was a Bronze Key Coffin within the Longevity Hall. Yet I never saw so much as a trace of it there. The only explanation is that you secretly swallowed the Bronze Key Coffin for yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mi He turned to Song Wen below and called out loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Cui Huo, join forces with me and take down Lei Yue. When the time comes, the Bronze Key Coffin will be mine, while the cultivation arts and manuals within the Longevity Hall will be yours. What do you say?"
A faint smile gradually appeared at the corners of Song Wen's lips.
"Then let us do as you say, Fellow Daoist."
Song Wen did not know what the Bronze Key Coffin was, but as long as he could obtain the cultivation arts and manuals of the Longevity Hall, he would have achieved his purpose.
Light flickered between his brows as nine transparent blades slowly condensed into being.
Seeing that Mi He had actually joined hands with Song Wen, Lei Yue's expression changed drastically.
Lightning flashed all over his body. While resisting the flying swords, he used the Thunder Escape Technique and began retreating backward.
Yet no matter how fast his escape speed was, it could not surpass Mi He's Phoenix-Qilin Beast.
