Chapter 118 Oh? A secret about me?
Wang Ye's eyes wandered over Li Qiankun, as if searching for an answer, yet he didn't dare to ask directly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
"Brother Qiankun, actually..." Wang Ye hesitated for a moment before finally getting straight to the point. "I was recently doing a divination and accidentally touched upon a secret related to you. However, the hexagram is extremely complex and I'm having trouble deciphering it completely. This makes me very uneasy, so I've come to you specifically, hoping you can give me some insights."
Li Qiankun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He naturally understood what Wang Ye was referring to, but he feigned ignorance. He smiled and asked, "Oh? A secret about me? Brother Wang, why don't you just tell me? Perhaps I can help you understand."
Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth about his findings. "When I divined, I discovered that your fate seemed closely connected to an ancient artifact, and this artifact was related to a major secret of the alien world. What surprised me even more was that the hexagram vaguely revealed that you might be the key to unlocking this secret."
Li Qiankun was secretly surprised, but his expression remained impassive. He had long known that his system and the Thousand Refinements it had granted him were truly extraordinary. He had never imagined that these things would even attract the attention of a sorcerer like Wang Ye.
"Brother Wang, the divine weapon you are talking about, are you referring to the Xuanzhong ruler in my hand?" Li Qiankun deliberately tested.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded and said, "Yes, it is this Xuanzhong Ruler. I have never seen such a mysterious and powerful weapon. It seems to contain some ancient and powerful power."
Li Qiankun chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Although you're a powerful sorcerer, you still haven't figured out the true origins of my Xuanzhong Ruler and system." However, he feigned indifference and continued, "This Xuanzhong Ruler is indeed extraordinary, but I only came across it by chance and don't know its origins."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes flashed with disappointment. But he quickly pulled himself together and said, "Brother Qiankun, regardless of the origins of this Xuanzhong Ruler, the fact that you possess it proves that you have an indissoluble bond with it. I hope you will proceed with caution and not let this artifact fall into the hands of those with ill intentions."
Li Qiankun nodded, indicating he would be more careful. He secretly thought, "Although Wang Ye appears easygoing, he's actually quite scheming. I'm afraid he's coming here for more than just a warning. I must be even more careful, lest he discover any flaws."
The two chatted for a while longer, and Wang Ye, noticing that Li Qiankun didn't seem to have revealed much useful information, stood up and said goodbye. Li Qiankun saw him to the door, watched him go, and then turned back into the house.
"System, what is Wang Ye planning?" Li Qiankun asked in his heart.
The system was silent for a moment before responding, "This king is indeed a formidable character. He's probably coming here to test your strength. However, don't worry too much. As long as you remain calm and don't reveal any flaws, he shouldn't notice anything."
Li Qiankun nodded, feeling a little more at ease. He knew that although his current strength had made a qualitative leap, there were still many unknown dangers and challenges in this world of extraordinary people. He had to be even more cautious to survive in this chaotic world.
In the days that followed, Li Qiankun continued to practice the "Liuhe Youshenchi" technique, while also not forgetting to improve his strength through the system. His cultivation and strength were steadily improving, and he gradually became a rising star in the world of extraordinary people.
However, just when Li Qiankun thought he could continue to practice peacefully, a sudden crisis broke this tranquility.
That day, Li Qiankun was practicing in the backyard when he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching rapidly. Startled, he quickly put away his Xuanzhong Ruler and looked around vigilantly.
A dark shadow flew across the sky and instantly appeared in front of Li Qiankun. It was a figure wearing a black robe and a hideous mask on its face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
"Who are you? Why did you trespass into my territory?" Li Qiankun asked in a deep voice.
The man in black robe did not answer, but just looked at him coldly, then suddenly attacked, and a powerful Qi instantly attacked Li Qiankun.
Li Qiankun's heart trembled, and he quickly used the "Liuhe Youshenchi" technique, transforming his body into a black lightning bolt and dodging the attack. He knew in his heart that this black-robed man was no good, and he had to go all out to deal with him.
So, he no longer held back his strength, and the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand instantly shone with dazzling light, slashing fiercely at the black-robed man. The two of them immediately fell into a fierce battle...
In the ensuing battle, Li Qiankun and the black-robed figure fought to a standstill. The black-robed figure was incredibly powerful, his every move imbued with devastating force. However, Li Qiankun, leveraging the mysteries of the "Liuhe Youshen Chi" and the might of the "Xuanzhong Chi," held his own.
The two fought back and forth, the battle becoming increasingly intense. The surrounding trees were destroyed by their energy fluctuations, and the entire backyard seemed to have become a ruin.
However, just as the battle reached its climax, Li Qiankun suddenly sensed a familiar presence rapidly approaching. With a startled thought, he quickly diverted his attention and looked in the direction of that presence.
A figure was seen rushing towards this side at an extremely fast speed. It was Wang Ye who had left earlier. He had returned here at some point and looked extremely anxious.
"Wang Ye? Why is he back?" Li Qiankun was secretly surprised, but soon understood, "Could it be that he sensed the fluctuations of the battle here and rushed back to help?"
The black-robed man seemed to have noticed Wang Ye's arrival. He snorted coldly and intensified his attack. Clearly, he didn't want Wang Ye to interfere in the fight.
But how could Li Qiankun let him have his way? He shouted loudly, and swung the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand suddenly. A huge energy wave instantly attacked the black-robed man. Seeing this, the black-robed man had to dodge sideways.
At this moment, Wang Ye finally arrived at the scene. He took one look at the two men fighting fiercely, and then joined the battle without hesitation. His joining immediately relieved Li Qiankun's pressure.
With the two of them working together, the black-robed man quickly fell into a disadvantage. Seeing the situation was bad, he tried to escape, but Li Qiankun and Wang Ye would not let him go. They pursued him relentlessly, vowing to defeat the black-robed man completely.
After a fierce chase and fight, the black-robed man was finally defeated by the two men. He collapsed to the ground, his mask knocked off, revealing a face full of fear.
Li Qiankun and Wang Ye smiled at each other, then walked forward, ready to interrogate the black-robed man about his origins and purpose. However, when they approached the black-robed man, they found that he was already dead - it turned out that he had taken a deadly poison before dying and chose to commit suicide.
"This..." Li Qiankun and Wang Ye looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They had not expected the man in black to be so decisive.
