CHAPTER XXVIII BUILDING
The butterfly around Xiao Li gradually disappeared. After that, his hands gradually stopped moving. He had woken up, but his face was still pale. Xiao Li gradually turned his head towards Old Zhao with both hands supporting on the ground. With a slight smile, he struggled to climb to the eighth stone chamber. After he entered the eighth stone chamber, his legs began to tremble.
At this moment, the fire in the stone room had yet to completely extinguish when Xiao Li suddenly stopped. He crouched down with difficulty and stared at something on the ground. Xiao Li stretched out his hand and picked it up, flipping through it. Immediately, a huge wave surged up in his heart, and his entire body squatted there in a daze, knowing that there was a burning sensation coming from his body. It seemed that his body was on fire again, so Xiao Li hurriedly got up with difficulty and returned to the secret passageway to extinguish the flames on his body.
After returning to the secret passage, Xiao Li was in a daze, as if he was constantly pondering about something. Old Zhao concernedly asked: ”Brother Xiao, how is your health?”
Xiao Li came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed his hand, writing, ”Fortunately, a few of my meridians have not been restored.” He then put down the things in his hands and returned to the eighth stone room with great difficulty to practice his martial arts. In the end, the stone room was filled with the afterimages of his hands, causing the howling wind to blow out all of the flames in the stone room. At this moment, Xiao Li's meridians were open, and his true power was unobstructed, causing him to once again feel the carefree feeling he had in the Soul Devouring Smoke. His entire body felt comfortable, his kung fu moves were smooth, and at the end, he faced the sky and howled loudly, but at this moment, his vocal cords cracked, and his voice was only a hoarse, ”Oh, oh.”
At this point, the strange pain in his meridians finally disappeared. All of his zhen qi returned to his four meridians, Ren, Zhe, Yin, and Yin, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Xiao Li clearly felt the zhen qi in his body separate and enter into his meridians. This startled Xiao Li, and he quickly practiced for another week, and at the same time, he practiced a few sets of the Beast Fist he had created.
He knew that now was not the time to think, so he had to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible. Hence, he hurriedly went back to the secret passage, picked up the thing on the ground, and stuffed it into his charred and tattered pocket. Then, he pulled Old Zhao's hand and wrote: ”Return to the secret passage to the top of the mountain immediately.”
Old Zhao said, ”Alright, I was thinking the same thing. It's much safer to be in the open at the top of the mountain than in the secret passageway. Perhaps I can think of a way to descend from the mountain.” Old Zhao crawled towards the first stone room with Lil 'Red and followed closely behind Xiao Li. In the first chamber, there was a thick layer of black poison sand on the floor. There were three secret passages within the first stone chamber. One led to the first stone chamber, while the other two led to the eighth and second stone chambers, respectively. Fortunately, the mechanism in the stone chamber didn't close the secret tunnel leading to the mountain peak. Thus, Xiao Li and the others smoothly returned to the place where Lieutenant Shen Bu had disappeared.
Returning to the main passage, Xiao Li grabbed Old Zhao's hand and wrote, ”You guys can return to the top of the mountain first. I'll go explore the stone chamber first.”
Old Zhao quickly said, ”How can we do that? Brother Xiao, you can't take any more risks. ”
Xiao Li wrote, ”It's fine. I guess the other party is unable to activate the mechanism. They can only surround us and let us trigger it ourselves. Otherwise, we would have already died inside the mechanism.” I've been infected with so many poisons, yet you're fine. Rest assured. ”
Old Zhao thought for a moment and knew that Xiao Li was afraid that he and Little Ying Ying would be in danger, so he hoped that the two of them would go to a safe place first. Then, he would have nothing to worry about.
On the other side, little Ying Ying said, ”Uncle, Ying Ying will be good. I will wait for you on the mountain.”
Xiao Li wrote on Old Zhao's hand, ”Please!” Then he resolutely turned around and left. Old Zhao also brought Ying Ying and ran towards the top of the mountain.
As for Xiao Li, he returned to the stone chamber once more. On the other side, Ling Qingyun was also engaged by Yin Sun.
Yin Sun knew that Ling Qingyun wouldn't be able to make it this far, so he braced himself. ”Since the Ling Family is going to take over Lou Guang's division, I'll have to risk my life and fight for it.”
Ling Qingyun still had a cold expression as he said, ”I only came for brother Xiao Li, and only brought brother Xiao Li. Everything else has nothing to do with me. I hope that you can hand me over.”
Yin Sun smirked. ”I assume the person who spread the news in the Jianghu is from the Ling Family?” ”Since your Ling Family has long been prepared to deal with my main altar, then my Lou Monastery can only fight with our lives on the line.”
Ling Qingyun calmly replied, ”If you don't hand it over, then I won't stand on ceremony.”
Yin Sun smirked coldly. ”Use whatever means you have to!”
Ling Qingyun waved his sleeves and said: ”Then I can only barge into your main altar.”
Yin Sun smirked coldly. ”I knew you were going to take over the throne room. Why do you need to make yourself sound so dignified?”
Ling Qingyun said coldly, ”There are quite a few people who saw how Lou Guang sent people to kidnap people. Previously, I respected you as one of the Seven Sons of the Lou Monastery, which is why I was polite and followed suit. Since you can even reverse the course of events, then I have a lot of contempt for you and you do not deserve to be on the same level as Gao Fei. ”
Yin Sun smirked coldly. ”Justice reigns supreme in the martial arts world. It's up to you and me to decide who's in the right and who's in the wrong.” He really wanted to use words to stop the other party.
Unfortunately, he had still miscalculated Ling Qingyun's determination. Ling Qingyun had already lost the patience to talk to him, and coldly said: ”I disdain fighting with you, but for the sake of Brother Xiao Li, I might have to make an exception.”
