Chapter 1169 Doubt

Xu Anan looked at me, at a loss. I nodded and said, "Go straight out. We'll leave together. Tell Xu Yulong you want to hire me to help eliminate the evil spirits of Tiewa Temple."

"Okay!" Xu Anan immediately shouted, "Brother, I'm here! I've found Li Po."

Xu Anan was an actress, and a better one than anyone else. Otherwise, she couldn't have kept Xu Yulong in the dark for so long.

Xu Yulong was slightly stunned when he saw me. "Hall Master Li, are you here to slay demons?"

I shook my head. "I just want to enter Tiewa Temple. Since there's business I can do on the way, why not earn some extra money? I think our Liangjie Tang is worth the amount of Young Master Xu's reward, right?"

As I spoke, I looked again at the distant Xianren Bridge (Bridge of Immortals).

The people Xu had sent out were already scattered in different places.

The positions they occupied were exactly at the intersections of the Xianren Bridge, with several different paths branching out from each person.

Those people were waiting for us to lead the way!

I was looking at the Xianren Bridge, but Xu Yulong was looking at me.

Taking advantage of my distraction, Xu Yulong quietly made a gesture behind him. Someone behind him stepped forward. "Mr. Li, is it? If you want to take Xu's money, you have to be worth the commission. You should try the Xianren Bridge, shouldn't you?"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Feng Ruoxing moved and stood in front of him, raising her hand and slapping him across the face. Before the other person could react, she returned to her original position. "Did that slap make you a little more awake?"

Xu Yulong's face darkened. "Senior Feng, what does this mean?"

Feng Ruoxing said coldly, "Our Liangjie Tang is taking on business, not risking our lives for you. It's your business if you want to scout the way. We are only responsible for ensuring the safety of the main members of the Xu family when evil spirits appear."

The man covered his face and roared, "If you don't scout the way, what are you here for? To look at the bridge?"

I looked coldly at Xu Yulong and said, "Feng Ruoxing is qualified to speak because she is the Third Master of Liangjie Tang. Which Master of the Xu family is the person behind you?"

Xu Yulong said slowly, "Although my subordinates don't understand etiquette, what they said is correct!"

"My siblings and I may not need Liangjie Tang to scout the way, but Liangjie Tang, as the sorcerers we hired, can't just stand by and watch, right?"

Xu Yulong raised his hand and pointed to the Xianren Bridge. "Take this place, for example! We are blocked outside the Xianren Bridge, unable to advance an inch. Is Liangjie Tang going to keep watching like this?"

I said indifferently, "I can take action, but you have to add money! I'm not someone you hired."

Before Xu Yulong could speak, I continued, "I think the value of one of our Liangjie Tang people is worth two of your subordinates, shouldn't be too much, right?"

Xu Yulong's subordinate immediately shouted, "That's our brothers' life-saving money. If you don't risk your lives, why should you get so much?"

I said lightly, "I'm just asking, will you give it or not?"

Xu Yulong raised his hand to stop his subordinate. "I'll give it! As long as someone from Liangjie Tang takes action, each person will be counted as ten million."

"Great!" I clapped my hands and said, "Senior Sister, come out!"

When Wang Butcher removed the phantom beast skin from his body and stood with Yun Chang in front of the Xu family, Xu Yulong was already dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Wang Butcher and Yun Chang would be hiding so close to him.

"Now we have two more people. Shouldn't Young Master Xu settle the account first?" I said to Xu Yulong, while my eyes were also staring at him.

At that time, Xu Yulong glanced at Xu Anan's face intentionally or unintentionally. I immediately transmitted a voice to Xu Anan, "You better not touch my people, otherwise, our deal will be cancelled immediately."

Xu Yulong had developed the habit of seeking help from Xu Anan when encountering a strong enemy. And didn't Xu Anan also have the habit of helping Xu Yulong kill people?

She could feel Xu Yulong's fear of Wang Butcher from the bottom of his heart, and she would also instinctively want to help Xu Yulong eliminate this strong enemy.

I transmitted my voice again, "With Xu family's manpower, you can't enter Tiewa Temple. The main force is still in our Liangjie Tang. If we lose one person, your plan will have a greater chance of failure. What do you want? Think about it yourself!"

Sure enough, Xu Anan quietly released her right hand, which had already clenched into a fist, and pretended not to see Xu Yulong's eyes.

I walked up and said, "Senior Sister, how long have you been here?"

"A little earlier than them." Wang Butcher took out the information Lao Liu gave him from his body. "Lao Liu asked us to deploy manpower according to these places."

"So, many of our people are here! Senior Sister, go settle the account with Xu Yulong first, I'll take a look at the information." I took the information, and Yun Chang explained Lao Liu's arrangements to me.

I glanced roughly at the order of the four forbidden areas.

These four nodes were arranged along a river flowing downstream. After the river flowed out of Xingkong Valley (Starry Sky Valley), it formed the first dangerous shoal in Jinglong涧 (Startled Dragon Ravine) and flowed towards Wusheng Lin (Silent Forest).

At this time, the water势 (shì, momentum/power of water) had begun to slow down, even to the point where the sound of water could not be heard, which was also the origin of the name Wusheng Lin.

The river flowed out of Wusheng Lin and into the lake in front of us, which could be considered the end. However, the fourth forbidden area appeared here – Xianren Bridge.

The four forbidden areas were actually in a straight line, like four fortresses blocking Tiewa Temple.

There was something illogical about these four forbidden areas!
