C59

Xiao Li suddenly felt something above his head and heard the whistling of the wind. His already tense body immediately crouched even lower. He stared at the direction of the wind for a while, but didn't attack as he had expected. Instead, the thick smoke around him began to swirl and slowly drift toward the sound of the wind.

Old Zhao sounded surprised, as if something unfathomable had happened. Yin Sun burst out laughing. "You dared to make trouble at my earth altar with just a little Soul Devouring Smoke? I'll make it so that you won't have a chance to return today." Then there was the sound of ping-pong again, and the two of them began to fight again. This time, it seemed like Old Zhao Li was not up to the task. In just a short moment, he seemed to have been hit by a muffled groan.

Yin Sun laughed. "Well?" "If you can still hold on to three of those, I will immediately let you pat your butt and leave."

Old Zhao coldly snorted and said, "Who would believe a person like you who goes back on your words! This old man will not keep you company any longer!"

Yin Sun snorted angrily. "Can you just leave?" "Watch this old man break your trashy smoke!" It seemed like Old Zhao had suddenly hidden himself into the Soul Devouring Smoke and stopped fighting him. As he finished speaking, he clapped his hands together, and Xiao Li heard the sound of wind in his ears. The thick smoke had already dissipated.

By this time, the stone platform had risen another five meters. Xiao Li could only feel the wind blowing louder and louder above his head. He didn't dare to relax for even a second for fear of anything unexpected happening. Lieutenant Shen Bu, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, staring around nervously.

Xiao Li could feel the thick smoke rapidly dissipating in all directions. He could vaguely see Lieutenant Shen Bu at his side and thought to himself, "It looks like Yin Sun isn't simple at all. He actually broke through this Soul Devouring Smoke that has been leaving everyone helpless. Old Zhao seems to be in danger. I have to find Little Ying Ying, otherwise Yin Sun might come to stop me." He felt anxious and immediately used his keen eyesight to look around, hoping to find the hidden place mentioned by Lieutenant Shen Bu as soon as possible.

Just as Xiao Li was looking around, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from below him. He lowered his head and saw a shadow climbing up the pillar. Just as Xiao Li was silently using his hidden strength to strike out at the opponent, the figure had already called out to him: "Brother Xiao, it's me. Please do not take action. We should deal with the current great enemy together.

It was Old Zhao. He walked quietly to the side of the Cloud Bed and saw the stone pillar rising up. He hoped that Xiao Li and he would join forces to deal with Yin Sun. When Xiao Li heard his voice, he hesitated for a moment before deciding not to attack. Instead, he allowed Old Zhao to climb up onto the stone platform. Old Zhao stepped onto the stone platform and cupped his hands towards Xiao Li, "Many thanks!" He continued to explain, "There are many traps in this place. Yin Sun had blown away my Soul Devouring Smoke with the help of the wind. Now that I've lost my Soul Devouring Smoke's barrier, I'm no longer his match. I hope Brother Xiao can lend me a hand. We can work together to make it difficult for him."

Xiao Li remained silent as he looked at Old Zhao. Old Zhao's clothes were in disarray and there were several sword wounds on his right arm, so he could only hold the sword in his left hand. At the same time, his chest was stained red with fresh blood.

Old Zhao smiled awkwardly, "Am I in a sorry state?" Xiao Li shook his head slightly and gave him a thumbs up. He really did admire Old Zhao. After being plotted against twice, he had been able to fight Yin Sun and walk away with ease. This was truly admirable.

Old Zhao smiled bitterly: "To be able to receive Brother Xiao's praise, this old man will not be in vain. I ask Brother Xiao to agree to this old man's request. If you agree, this old man is willing to risk his life to help Brother Xiao save someone. "

Xiao Li didn't expect the other party to suddenly say such words. He stared at him in confusion. Old Zhao said: "Brother Xiao need not be suspicious, this old man knows that I will not be able to escape this calamity, so I am not afraid to tell you the truth, although I am in good spirits, in fact, my internal injuries are extremely severe, even if I escape I will not be able to survive, so I hope that I can exchange my useful body for Brother Xiao's promise."

When Xiao Li heard this, he couldn't help but mumble to himself. "Brother Xiao, don't be fooled by him. He must be using a secret art to forcefully increase his own potential. As long as he runs out of potential, he'll die, and it'll be useless to us then. He can't just stay alive for the rest of his life, that's why there's no need to make such a deal with him."

It was as if Xiao Li didn't hear him, as he extended his hand out, implying that he wanted Old Zhao to continue speaking. This made Lieutenant Shen Bu depressed for a long time; he originally wanted to take this opportunity to act good in front of Xiao Li and gain a chance to live under his hands.

Old Zhao's face revealed an expression of joy as he quickly said: "I'm not asking Brother Xiao for any promises. I just hope that Brother Xiao can help me take care of one person in the future if you have the chance. Speaking of which, I can also be considered your master, so this request is probably not excessive. " Xiao Li naturally understood what he meant. Old Zhao had taught him how to cook and was indeed one of his teachers. Thus, he quietly waited for Old Zhao to finish his words.

Old Zhao continued, "Sigh, actually, this person has some connections with you. Do you still remember the story I told you that day?" Xiao Li knew that he was referring to the story of the old doctor.

Old Zhao said, "Actually, there is another story that I have yet to tell you. Sigh, I might as well tell you about it now. That was more than thirty years ago, when I was still a young man and had learned a good cooking skill in the city, and at such a young age, I was the head of the biggest restaurant in the city. At that time, I was really high-spirited, and in my third year as the head, my family told me about the marriage, and the girl was the prettiest in the neighboring village. He didn't expect the lady to be so courteous. When he heard this, he didn't show it and sent over three books, six gifts, and a couplet. I looked at the couplet: Three books and six courtesies from ancient times; a couple and two things. At that time, he felt incomparably ashamed. He immediately made nine dishes and gave them back. They were three famous dishes in scrolls and six famous dishes in apologies. Fortunately, the lady was magnanimous and didn't blame him too much. The two of them got to know each other from this point on, and they exchanged letters and letters.

Half a year later, just as I was about to marry a lady and pass through the gates, a natural disaster strikes. That neighbouring village actually suffered from a sudden plague and that girl was not spared either. When I heard that the young lady had escaped the encirclement of the officials for the help of a doctor, I couldn't bear the reproach of my conscience and pursued my journey all the way until I finally met the young lady in the middle of a mountain. At that time, I was too embarrassed to go and meet her, so I could only stay in the dark, wishing that the young lady would recover and find a good place to stay.

When I saw that the doctor had at last cured the girl, and that at the same time they were secretly in love, I could not help but feel a little reassured. When I saw that the girl had been taken away by someone else, that I had come forward to rescue her, only to be beaten up into a serious injury, and that when my injuries were about to be healed, I saw that the girl had bid farewell to me in order to protect the doctor. At that time, my heart was in great pain, and I swore that even if I had to give up my life, I would still save the girl from my conscience. After that, although I had mastered martial arts, I was still unable to save her from the clutches of the true sect. I could only sneak into the true sect and take care of her for a while, but unfortunately, the current sect leader's mana was able to see through my disguise and ordered me to come to this pavilion to spy, otherwise I would have taken her life. I've been a spy here for three years, and today I'm finally going to finish my final period of atonement. Right now, I can only ask you if you have the chance in the future to save that pitiful girl. "

After Xiao Li heard what Old Zhao had to say, he sighed in his heart, "This Old Zhao is such a romantic man. He actually plotted to be a spy for his lover for so many years. In the end, in order to protect him, he even sent spies. Now, his life is about to end, and he still thinks about him." He gave me the chance to save him in the future, but I'm afraid that the girl from back then has already become a grandmother, and I don't know if she's willing to leave or not. Forget it. After all, the other party had some grudges with my master back then. I'll just promise him that I'll do as I see fit in the future. This righteous faction was truly a sinner. If there was a chance in the future, they would definitely punish them.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li nodded to Old Zhao, agreeing to his request. When Old Zhao saw this, he actually bowed and said: "I thank Brother Xiao!" Seeing this, Xiao Li couldn't remain calm and immediately stepped forward to help Old Zhao up. However, Old Zhao took the opportunity to put something into Xiao Li's hands and said, "I can't repay you for this, just show my appreciation."

When Xiao Li saw the item, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood that it was the secret scripture of the Lou Guang Sect. He knew that Old Zhao probably knew that he was going to lose his life here, so he gave Old Zhao to him. Old Zhao was afraid that Old Zhao might know that he was going to lose his life here, so he gave Old Zhao to him. Xiao Li immediately kept the manual to prevent Old Zhao from being worried. At the same time, he patted his chest to show that he would do his best. Seeing this, the joy on Old Zhao's face became even stronger.

His condition wasn't too good, and he was currently adjusting his condition. First, he uploaded this chapter to everyone.
