Chapter 866: Chapter 560: Grudges and Encounters

"Impossible, how could Senior Brother do such a thing!"

The purple-clothed youth blurted out upon hearing what Li Motian said.

The others all showed disbelief on their faces as well.

Especially the young girl, who directly shouted, "You are slandering him. How could Senior Brother possibly do such a thing as slaughtering civilians!"

"Impossible, is it?" Li Motian coldly laughed, "I know you don’t believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes back then.

That Qian Lingxiao and the previous generation Direct Lineage Daoist Gongshu Zheng of the Gongsu Family were comparing their Taoist skills.

Just a ripple from their exchange flattened my hometown to the ground.

Not a soul in the village survived.

I would recognize the faces of Qian Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, even if they were turned to ashes!"

Senior Brother and Gongshu Zheng!

Hearing these two names, the purple-clothed youth and the others were shocked.

Because they all knew that the Daoist Gongshu Zheng from the Gongsu Family was indeed very close friends with Senior Brother.

It was said that the two became friends after an accidental meeting and became close confidants.

They themselves had seen Gongshu Zheng visiting Senior Brother several times.

However, they were still unwilling to believe that the ever-kind and gentle-as-jade Senior Brother would do such a thing.

And Gongshu Zheng, known as a well-reputed Daoist from a prestigious family among the younger generation, would never be a person who casually slaughtered civilians.

The purple-clothed youth immediately questioned, "You claim you saw Senior Brother destroy your hometown with your own eyes. According to you, you were just a child back then. How did you escape their senses and survive?"

"Perhaps your Senior Brother never regarded us common folk, who are like ants, as worth noticing." Li Motian laughed self-deprecatingly.

"One is a True Disciple of a Major Sect, and the other is a Direct Lineage Daoist of the Thirty-six Upper Clans.

Given their cultivation and status back then, they ranked among the highest in the Heavenly Origin Great World.

Why would they bother with a child who is less than an ant like me?

It wasn’t worth their effort to deliberately squash this ant.

"In this case, everything you have said is just your side of the story, without any evidence to prove its truth, and I could say you are slandering Senior Brother!"

The young girl immediately retorted.

"Indeed, given what we know of Senior Brother’s character, he would never do such a thing. Besides, you’re the one who has turned to the Demon Clan and cultivated Devil Techniques, so what you’re saying must be a ploy to sow discord. We won’t fall for it!"

Another young man shouted.

"Think of it as slander if you will."

Li Motian seemed to have already anticipated the girl’s response.

Qian Lingxiao’s disguise was just too perfect. If it weren’t for what he had witnessed back then.

He himself might not have believed that the other was such a monstrous demon.

On top of that, the other was the son of the Sect Master of the Qiankun Sect, a True Disciple and Senior Brother from the Inner Sect, who achieved the Primordial Spirit Realm genius with only two hundred years of cultivation.

Such a figure, no matter how he explained, no one would believe such a person could be so vile.

"I am telling you all this not to make you believe but out of some sense of camaraderie, so you can die knowing the truth, instead of as senseless wronged souls."

"Not good!"

Listening to Li Motian’s increasingly cold words, an immense chill suddenly rose within the purple-clothed youth’s heart.

He knew it was time to truly put his life on the line.

Immediately, without thinking, he spat out a purple talisman from his Dantian.

Under the urging of his Heart and Spirit, the purple talisman instantly expanded to half a person’s size, with countless bolts of lightning spreading from it, unleashing a formidable power.

The oppressive aura that had been suppressing them since Li Motian’s arrival was swept away.

The purple-clothed youth shouted, "Quickly, get away, I’ll hold him off!"

"A Lifebound Talisman?"

Li Motian looked at the Purple Thunder Talisman, his expression unchanged.

"This top-grade Lifebound Talisman is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, you haven’t fully mastered your cultivation and can’t bring out its full power. It still can’t stop me."

However, the purple-clothed youth paid no heed and continued to shout, "Hurry, go now!"

He then pointed with a spell, and a powerful bolt of lightning shot toward Li Motian.

Boom!

A cloud of dust rose into the air.

...

"Strange, Ah Qing, it seems there’s no treasure left in this mountain range."

In a forest, Little Li was standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder, speaking with some puzzlement.

"Naturally, we’ve almost scoured this mountain range over the past few days.

It’s likely that all the treasures here have been found by you, Little Li.

So, Little Li, we should probably set out now."

Lu Qing said somewhat helplessly.

Ever since they found that Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit last time, Little Li, for some reason, became very interested in treasure hunting.

It was as if some instinct was awakened, pulling Lu Qing to explore everywhere in this mountain range, in search of treasures.

Thankfully, there wasn’t any strong presence above the Primordial Spirit Realm nearby; otherwise, with their reckless wandering, they might have gotten into trouble long ago.

However, because of this, Lu Qing and the others have had quite a fruitful few days.

Not only did they find several Middle and top-grade Spiritual Medicines,

but they also inadvertently discovered a Cave Mansion of a late-stage Golden Core Realm expert, gaining some treasures inside.

However, for the past two days, after wandering so long, Little Li hasn’t sensed any more treasures nearby.

It seems the high-level treasures in this mountain range have almost all been found by them.
