Shen Yuan Ring

After dealing with Xiang Dong, Ji Daoyi picked up his storage bag and quickly left.

Based on his initial observations, he knew that Xiang Dong was simple-minded and the easiest to deal with.

Leaving north requires much more caution than leaving east, but it's still just caution.

Although Ji Daoyi didn't know if Xiang Bei would bring the Second Master with him, he wasn't one to flee without a fight. He wanted to see who was trying to kill him.

after an hour,

Xiang Dong arrived with two groups of men, one led by his third brother and the other by his fourth brother. He didn't see Xiang Dong and assumed they were searching for Ji Daoyi. Meanwhile, the beasts and tigers in the distance were enjoying their buffet and didn't notice their arrival.

"Big brother, do you think the clothes on the carcass that the tiger was gnawing on look like what Second Brother was wearing?"

Looking closely to the north, I realized that was indeed east!

He cried out in utter grief, "Second brother!!"

Then, Xiang Bei and his two brothers went berserk and arrived in front of the beast tiger in a few flashes, directly smashing the beast tiger that was gnawing on Xiang Dong's body into a pulp.

Xiang Bei held Xiang Dong's mangled body, sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. "Second brother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made you stay behind to search for Ji Daoyi, you wouldn't have been killed."

"Big brother, are you sure the person you met was that kid Ji Daoyi?"

"Yes, Second Brother is at the Nascent Soul Realm, how could he possibly be harmed by a mere kid who has been cultivating for less than a year!"

Xiang Bei remained silent for a moment, it was unclear whether he was overwhelmed with sadness or organizing his thoughts.

He replied, "I haven't seen him, nor have I seen who killed our brothers. But the only one here who would oppose the Xiang family is Ji Daoyi. And I have a feeling that he's the one who did it all!"

Upon hearing what Xiang Bei said, Xiang Xi and Xiang Nan exchanged a glance.

"Brother, should we look for clues around here first and see if we can find anything?"

Xiang Xi nodded in agreement with Xiang Nan's words, "Yes, Third Brother is right. Right now, the other side is in the shadows, while we are in the open. The more information we have, the more we can take the initiative later."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Bei agreed that it made sense, so he carefully wrapped up Xiang Dong's remains and put them into his storage bag!

“I agree. We’ll divide everyone into three groups, with each of us three brothers leading a team. With a Na Yuan Realm expert overseeing things, our safety will be guaranteed.”

"Remember, we must not leave any of our men alone. The three of us must be ready to rescue them at any time in case of danger. I don't want to lose any more people!"

Having learned from their previous experience, Xiang Bei was even more careful and cautious when arranging the team this time.

However, Xiang Nan and Xiang Xi were even more certain that their second brother's death had terrified their eldest brother, making him no longer the calm and calculating eldest brother he once was.

They didn't openly oppose the decision to head north, but they were indifferent to some of the decisions made. It's like telling an elephant that there's an ant trying to assassinate it.

After the teams were divided into groups, each team led its own group to the area it was responsible for.

"You guys split up and search independently. That way you can search the entire area faster. If you encounter any problems, send a signal. I'll wait for you to come back here," Xiang Xi instructed his men.

"Yes!"

After responding, the group dispersed, not feeling any danger whatsoever.

Ji Dao, who was hiding in the distance, saw all of this, especially when he saw Xiang Xi and Xiang Nan disperse everyone while he stayed behind to wait.

He knew the opportunity had come.

Half an hour later,

A figure returned to the rendezvous point, reported the findings of his search to the west, and handed over most of the medicinal herbs he had collected along the way.

Xiang Xi had no doubts. He took the elixir, found its aroma fragrant and couldn't help but sniff it a few more times. He asked, "What kind of elixir is this? It smells so good."

"I don't recognize it either, but it smells wonderful and is just like the medicinal herbs I've picked before, so it must be very valuable."

"Since you're so kind, I'll accept it. By the way, I feel like I've never seen you before, and your voice sounds unfamiliar." Xiang Xi happily put the offered elixir into his storage bag, then asked in confusion.

At first, seeing that Xiang Xi was dressed in the Xiang family's clothing, he didn't pay much attention. However, since he had received favors from others, he should know who was trying to curry favor with him. Although he felt that the person in front of him was strange, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Suddenly, Xiang Xi felt drowsy and realized that his Yuan Qi was not circulating smoothly. Only then did he understand why the person in front of him felt strange.

Xiang Xi said regretfully, "It was you! You are Ji Daoyi! You also framed my second brother using this method?"

Ji Daoyi smiled slightly, but to Xiang Xi, his smile was the smile of a demon, a smile that chilled him to the bone.

"It's just a pity you found out too late. Don't worry, you won't be lonely on your journey. Your brothers are already waiting for you down there."

Then he slapped his head with a palm, at which point two angry roars came from afar.

"stop!"

"Stop it!"

Ji Daoyi not only ignored him, but also increased the force of his palm, slapping Xiang Xi's head.

Without even bothering to confirm whether Xiang Xi was dead, he immediately used the Cloud Stepping Technique to escape deeper into the forest.

Xiangbei and Xiangnan rushed to check on Xiangxi's condition and found that he was beyond saving; his head had been smashed.

After collecting the body, Xiang Bei disregarded his grief; having finally found Ji Daoyi, how could he possibly let him go?

Thus, a chase ensued between them in the Monster Forest.

As Ji Daoyi watched the two figures getting closer and closer behind him, he grew increasingly anxious and increased the force of his movements.

"What do we do now? Let alone two experts at the Nascent Soul Realm, I can't even defeat one of them, let alone the dozens of experts at the Meridian Opening Realm behind them."

Before we knew it, the sky suddenly darkened.

The sounds of monkeys playing and frolicking came from afar, and Ji Daoyi immediately had an idea. He ran towards the direction of the monkeys' voices.

The two people behind them were also in hot pursuit, charging recklessly, and they could no longer see anyone else behind them.

"Boy, let's see how much energy you still have to burn. When I catch up with you, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out to appease the spirit of my brother in heaven."

"Wait until you catch me before you talk. Don't be like your brother, all talk and no action, and end up hanging out with that idiot Xiang Yuan."

Just as the two were about to catch up with him, Ji Daoyi charged straight into the monkey troop.

Then Ji Daoyi picked up the two little monkeys and threw them directly at Xiang Bei and the other two.

Because it was dark, they only saw something smash towards them, and without thinking, they raised their hands and smashed the little monkey that was hitting them.

The pitiful cries of the little monkeys rang out, drawing the attention of the entire forest with their mournful yet clear sounds.

The brief silence made the atmosphere even more oppressive.

Then a loud roar rang out, and Xiang Bei and the other man realized that they had fallen into Ji Daoyi's trap.
