Xia Linyuan frowned. There was no record of this person in the Quanxing's files... Could he be a new addition? Or a latecomer?

Xia Linyuan scrutinized the monk. The monk's gaze also fell on Xia Linyuan.

When their eyes met.

The monk gave a sinister laugh, revealing his stark white teeth, and tears streamed continuously from his left eye...

Upon seeing this, a chill ran through Xia Linyuan's heart.

Just as Xia Linyuan was about to walk around the strange monk, white flames suddenly surged in his dark eyes.

A murderous intent surged forth from the monk, reaching the heavens.

Xia Linyuan's eyes, which were filled with white flames, uncontrollably turned scarlet. The surrounding environment distorted and trembled, and black spots gradually appeared on the strange monk.

One, two, three... they sprang up like mushrooms after rain, quickly filling Xia Linyuan's vision.

The monk showed no emotion whatsoever, only a pure, abyss-like killing intent!

The twisted black mass, like a demon ready to devour its prey, uttered a hoarse voice as its lips opened and closed: "Found it...."

The monk stepped forward, and Xia Linyuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if a force was rapidly approaching.

I instinctively dodged to the side. The trees behind me made a muffled thud.

Looking back, a small, round hole suddenly appeared on the tree trunk.

'That strange monk!'

Xia Linyuan's killing intent was fully revealed. He slightly bent his knees and launched himself out like a cannonball.

The next moment, Xia Linyuan appeared above the monk, leaped high into the air, and used his Ruyi Force to smash the monk down hard.

boom

The Ruyi Force struck, its violent power causing the ground to explode like a buried bomb! Shards of stone flew everywhere, embedding themselves deeply into the trees.

As Xia Linyuan slowly rose to his feet, the monk's murderous intent receded like the tide.

The monk, who should have been covered in blood and gore, also disappeared.

It's like a shattered dream.

Hell?

Suspicious, Xia Linyuan searched for nearly two kilometers in the direction the monk had come from, but found nothing!

It was as if it had never existed.

Even Xia Linyuan couldn't help but doubt himself, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

Xia Linyuan returned the way he came, staring blankly at the crater he had created.

The wind rustled through the leaves, and sunlight streamed through the gaps, casting a faint blue glow among the pebbles. Xia Linyuan stepped forward to examine it. A glass Buddhist rosary lay quietly in the crevice.

Xia Linyuan picked up the glass prayer beads and held them tightly in his hand. He thought to himself, "That's definitely not an illusion! But who is he?!"

at this time

The sound of branches and leaves rubbing together behind me.

Seeing this, Xia Linyuan put away the glass prayer beads and looked toward the sound. He saw a figure rush out from the bushes beside him.

When Xiao Zizai saw Xia Linyuan, he first looked around and, finding nothing unusual, slowed his pace.

He walked towards Xia Linyuan and said calmly, "Xiao Yuan, what happened?"

"I was attacked by a strange monk. After defeating him, he left behind this glass prayer bead. Master, have you ever seen a prayer bead like this before?"

Xiao Zizai looked at Xia Linyuan's bloodshot eyes, his heart felt like it had been squeezed, and he remained silent for a moment. He glanced at the Buddhist beads and slowly shook his head.

"I haven't seen him before, but I can keep an eye out for him in the future. Perhaps he's a new member of the Quanxing."

Xia Linyuan made up his mind and nodded: "I understand, Master. His killing intent was clearly aimed at me. There will be a second time after the first one."

"Where is Master Dou?"

As soon as Xia Linyuan landed, wisps of smoke rose from the nearby bushes. Dou Le, a cigarette dangling from his lips, slowly emerged from within, only to be met with Xia Linyuan's bloodshot eyes.

His brow twitched violently.

He looked at Xiao Zizai with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Zizai shook his head slightly...

Chapter 72 Deployment

"Xiao Yuan, you've taken the wrong path..."

Dou Le didn't ask about the situation again and changed the subject.

Xia Linyuan glanced at his phone and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Dou. I've taken up your time."

"Alright, now that we've reunited, that's fine. The Tongtian Talisman is your private matter, so I won't pry. I want to hear what's next. Now that you've obtained the Tongtian Talisman, the Quanxing Sect's attention is all on you..."

"Old Xiao and I have taken care of 18 people in the past few days, and you took care of 13 at the competition. We've already seen the following climbers: Domain Poison, the Four Madmen, Bone Scraper, Calamity Seedling, and Thunder Smoke Cannon Xiao Yuan, but Dou Mei is still nowhere to be found. This is very important..."

As Dou Le spoke, he dug down a stick and used the ground as a sand table to write and draw. He wrote the two characters "Dou Mei" particularly deeply.

Xia Linyuan and Xiao Zizai remained silent...

Intestinal poison – Dou Mei.

Outwardly, she appears to be a gentle, wealthy woman, completely unlike a demon. She wouldn't pose a problem for the other three members besides the Four Madmen and Dou Mei. However, if any one of the Four Madmen were paired with Dou Mei, it would be incredibly difficult.

Dou Mei can subtly draw people into an illusion through the pink aura emanating from her body, weakening their emotions, calming their numbness, and also making them irritable.

A person who is irritable and devoid of emotion is like a wild beast. They cannot withstand any provocation. Lust, wealth, and anger can easily invade their heart...

Without a heart as strong as a rock, it is impossible to resist.

After thinking for a while, Xia Linyuan said, "Master Dou, we're playing a supporting role. North China is our home turf. You could change your approach and give them some room to maneuver."

"Oh dear, my brain, I forgot about that."

Dou Leshun smoothed a few strands of hair on his head.

"According to what we know, members of the Lu family have installed Qi-sensing devices throughout the mountain."

"Moreover, there are also many people lying in ambush in the mountains and forests of North China. So our primary task is simply to protect Xiaoyuan."

Xiao Zizai said calmly.

Dou Le stroked his chin, seemingly still thinking about pulling off a big heist.

"Master Dou, we're just support."

Xia Linyuan emphasized.

"Okay... If we can slack off, let's slack off... Anyway, Lao Xiao has almost finished eating."

Dou Le glanced at Xiao Zizai.

Xiao Zizai remained silent, simply removing his glasses and taking out a clean white silk handkerchief to slowly wipe his face...

"What!!!"

"You said Xia Linyuan lost!!"

A sharp sound came from the forest, startling the birds into fleeing in panic.

The pink-haired girl nervously held her phone to her ear, saying in disbelief.

Zang Long's voice came through the phone: "Yeah, I didn't expect Yuan'er to lose to Zhang Chulan either. Now everyone's saying Xia Linyuan carelessly lost Jingzhou, hooray hooray hooray..."

The pink-haired girl's head was spinning after hearing that Xia Linyuan had lost. What happened next was no longer important.

Nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart...

Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down...

The phone slipped and fell to the ground...

Lu Linglong looked at Zhi Jinhua beside her in despair: "Hua'er, how am I supposed to get through this month? Mr. Xia can beat Lingyu Zhenren, how could he not beat Zhang Chulan... Waaaaah..."

Seeing Lu Linglong's expression, Zhi Jinhua couldn't help but ask, "How much did you buy from Xia Linyuan?"

Lu Linglong forced back her tears, sniffled, and said pitifully, "A month's living expenses..."

Zhi Jinhua stared in disbelief: "Awesome, that's really fierce."

Lu Linglong's eyes suddenly sharpened as she narrowed them at Zhi Jinhua: "You've come out ahead, haven't you..."

Zhi Jinhua looked to one side.

Lu Linglong quickly held Zhi Jinhua's face, and said in a tearful and indignant voice, "Look into my eyes and tell me how much you've earned!"

Zhi Jinhua gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, not much, just enough to buy a new car..."

"Damn it! You little bitch! You had inside information but didn't tell me! How dare you bet on Zhang Chulan!"

"There's no inside story. Zhang Chulan is just too lucky! He made it to the finals without really lifting a finger. I don't believe no one helped him."

"I don't believe it! Who would dare to cause trouble at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?! The Heavenly Master will execute him!"
