Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 665 An unexpected surprise
When navigating the world, judging by appearances is superficial; the key is to understand the heart.

For someone like Tao Fu.

Li Rui tends to think in the worst possible light.

In fact, the way Tao Fu looked at him that day had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

That's greed.
As far as he knew, cultivators who enjoyed dual cultivation, especially those skilled in it, often became indifferent to men and women after reaching a high level of cultivation, and even preferred male-male relationships to female ones.

You can tell what's going on by looking at the two Taoist attendants following the peach charm.

Li Rui didn't want to constantly think about his chrysanthemums.

Even if he is strong enough.

But if Tao Fu were to secretly spy on them and expose some secrets, that would be very bad, so the best course of action would be to kill him.

Or perhaps even if Tao Fu doesn't care, she still wants to offer him to her master who practices the same way of absorbing and replenishing energy?
these days.

Besides practicing his cultivation techniques, he kept a close eye on the peach charms.

It's obviously not allowed to make a move openly in Baiyujing, but once you leave Baiyujing, no one will care.

Originally, he only intended to kill people and rob them.

But I never expected it.

It devoured Tao Fu's memories, but in doing so, it revealed some things that no one else knew.

For example, Tao Fu never intended to help Pei Yao break the Spirit-Attracting Curse; he just wanted to take advantage of her and then turn his back on her.

Anyway, as long as no one dies, Bai Yujing won't interfere in matters that are consensual.

Another example.

The master of Tao Fu, the Green Silk Ancestor, has been watching Jin Ting Xiao Zhou for a full hundred years!

The State of Yu was completely unaware of this.

Li Rui felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he knew that Jinting Xiaozhou was being watched by various parties, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he confirmed that a Nascent Soul Ancestor was keeping a close eye on Jinting Xiaozhou at all times.

Over a hundred years.

Every few years, that old ancestor with green hair would send a peach charm to Jinting Island.

The things he did were all extremely fragmented.

Most of them are searching for people or things.

As for the specific details of what Tao Fu has done over the years, he can only know half of it, since he only devoured half of Tao Fu's spiritual embryo and has missing half of his memories.

Li Rui pondered.

What exactly is the Green Silk Ancestor doing?

Put away your mind.

He then leaped up and quietly returned to Baiyujing, the peak of Faren.

When he comes back.

Pei Yao was already waiting inside the house.

"It has been cleaned up."

"As expected, they had a backup plan, but now there's probably no chance to use it."

Seeing the lingering murderous aura on Pei Yao, Li Rui nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to kill Tao Fu, Pei Yao also took the opportunity to kill Tao Fu's two attendants.

Now, only two corpses remain in Tao Fu's cave.

This was also part of Li Rui's plan.

His spiritual power was strong enough that he could tell early on that the two Daoist servants were suspicious.

It was clearly Tao Fu's way of leaving himself an escape route.

Once the original body dies, it can be resurrected through two Daoist attendants possessing the body.

It can be described as having three burrows.

Unfortunately, he ran into Li Rui, a seasoned hunter, and despite his many tricks, he still fell in the end.

Even if someone discovers something amiss, Pei Yao can easily claim it's a personal vendetta that led to the killing of Tao Fu's two attendants.

As for Tao Fu's death.

She has never left Baiyujing, so what could she possibly have to do with her?
Even if Ancestor Qing Si has some doubts, he won't take action as long as there's Jiang Linxian's karma involved, unless it's confirmed.

As for Li Rui, he was even more fearless.

After all, he had only met Tao Fu once, and Tao Fu's body had been obliterated and his soul had been reincarnated, so there was no way to summon his soul back.

Even if you have doubts, it's useless.

Unless evidence is presented, even the Green Silk Ancestor cannot rush up Faran Peak to kill him.

That's the rule.

Some people might think that rules are a prison built by those in power for the weak.

But in Li Rui's view...

It is the rules that prevent the powerful from acting recklessly. As long as they are within the rules, the weak can also be fearless.

of course.

The prerequisite is having a powerful patron.

A corner of Baiyujing.

Qingsi Peak, Qingsi Cave.

This is the cave dwelling of the Green Silk Ancestor, and at this moment, the sounds of women moaning can be heard from within.

A full hour passed.

Just then, an old man emerged from the red-roofed tent, and the silhouettes of two limp, delicate bodies could be vaguely seen in the distance.

The women who entered the Green Silk Cave did so voluntarily.

Since the Green Silk Ancestor is a righteous person, the path of dual cultivation naturally seeks a mutual consent.

After these women practiced dual cultivation with him, their cultivation levels all improved significantly.

There's not even enough time to queue, so why would I refuse?

The Old Ancestor of Green Silk suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"died?"

Just now, he sensed that his disciple Tao Fu's soul had shattered and that he had been reincarnated.

Who is it?

The Old Ancestor of Green Silk remained completely calm.

soon.

His voice came from inside the cave: "Tao Fu is dead. Find out who did it."

Outside the cave.

Two strong, muscular men stood there, having listened to a tale of romance all night.

Hearing his ancestor's command, he respectfully bowed to the cave dwelling and said, "Yes, Ancestor."

"As expected, Ancestor Qingsi sent people to investigate Tao Fu's cause of death."

Li Rui pondered in his cave at Faran Peak.

They've even traced it back to Pei Yao.

He didn't let Pei Yao leave Baiyujing; on the contrary, he even spent more time with Pei Yao in Baiyujing.

As far as he knows.

Jiang Linxian went into seclusion in Baiyujing.

Even if the Green Silk Ancestor really did find out that he was the murderer through some unexpected means, as long as Jiang Linxian was there, those old monsters would not stand by and watch the Green Silk Ancestor kill people in Baiyujing.

Therefore, Baiyujing is the safest place.

Not only do we need to stay in Baiyujing, but we also need to make sure those old guys know they're in Baiyujing.

The more old monsters know, the safer they are.

of course.

This is the worst-case scenario; under normal circumstances, Li Rui would not be traced at all.

After all, the Green Silk Ancestor was a demigod, not a Dao Lord. Could he possibly kill him by following the cause and effect?

Regardless of the chaos and turmoil outside, Li Rui focused solely on his cultivation.

As long as you keep persevering, even the Old Ancestor of Green Silk will eventually forget you.

He's just a disciple of the Celestial Realm, can he be called that forever?

Li Rui has plenty of time to spare.

in the room.

He sat cross-legged and focused on his breathing exercises.

He squeezed out the last bit of immortal power from the peaches of immortality, and his divine soul reached a terrifying height of four zhang. In addition, he had also reduced all his thoughts to one hundred.

If an ordinary cultivator reached this level, they would attempt to break through to the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.

However, Li Rui did not intend to give up. Instead, he chose to continue to gather his soul, so that all thoughts were united and his soul was flawless.

This step is difficult.

It will take a lot of time.

Fortunately, Li Rui has no shortage of lifespan. After breaking through to the Celestial Realm, he has nearly a thousand years of lifespan, while he is only two hundred years old.

In contrast to the mundane.

He's just a 20-year-old young man.

There's still plenty of time.

So what's the rush? Just practice as much as you can.
