Chapter 278 The Truth
"Strange, could it be the people of Xuanjiabao? The disciples sent by Xuanjiabao have always liked black robes and masks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Li Rui secretly moved, he quietly swept into the air, held his breath, and felt carefully while approaching the handful of people.
It didn't take long for Li Rui to hear their conversation clearly.
A hoarse voice said, "Senior brother, we didn't collect a soul this time, so we're afraid that we will be punished when we go back, right?"
Then, a strange laughing voice sounded: "You were kicked in the head by a donkey, and you really can't receive it, don't you just kill someone and receive it?"
"No, I can't. One retorted, "When we came out, the sect leader repeatedly explained that we must not reveal our whereabouts." ā
"What should we do then? Now that there is no war between the Orc Kingdom and the Tuoba Kingdom, where can we find a chance to fish in troubled waters?"
When Li Rui heard this, he had roughly understood that the tragic scene he saw during the day was created by this group of people, even if it was not them, it was someone else in their "sect", and it was obviously not the one who guessed that the strong man himself did.
It's just that Li Rui has never heard of a sect in Tuoba Country that is even more evil than the Demon Sect.
Obviously, if they call the sect master, it can't be the Xuanjiabao, because the disciples of the Xuanjiabao call the Xuanjiabao Evil Hades, either by calling the master or by the castle master.
At this time, Li Rui no longer concealed his figure, he quietly came out, and the black-robed masked man who got off the fire was startled.
One of them exclaimed, "Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on us and seek death?"
Immediately afterwards, the handful of black-robed masked people in their twenties and thirty all stood up, and one by one they all drew out the Xuantie swords at their waists, as long as Li Rui said a wrong word, they would definitely attack them in groups.
Li Rui was not afraid, because the other party's cultivation, although most of them were martial artists, there were several great martial artists, and an orange-level grandmaster, but in Li Rui's eyes, it was like a mustard.
"Stop. A black-robed masked man shouted in horror, "If you go any further, you're welcome." ā
Li Rui couldn't help laughing: "You're welcome, just say hello." ā
"Okay!" one of the black-robed masked men shouted, "Since this kid is looking for death, then we will fulfill him, and we can also guard two souls." ā
"Confused, don't talk nonsense, kill him first!" and the black-robed masked man reminded him that it was obvious that the matter of collecting the souls of the dead should also be kept secret.
For a while, twenty or thirty black-robed masked men all held their bright black iron swords and pounced on Li Rui.
Who knew that Li Rui suddenly waved his hand: "Stop!"
"What are you doing, boy, are you scared?" the black-robed masked man stopped strangely.
Li Rui shook his head and sighed: "It's not me who is afraid, but you, are you from Xuanjiabao?"
When those black-robed masked people heard this, they remembered this matter in the wilderness of the dark night, if the other party was not a martial arts cultivator, how could he be here? I couldn't help but feel that almost all of them were sensing Li Rui's cultivation, but unfortunately none of them could sense it.
I couldn't help but change color one by one, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, we are the disciples of Xujiabao, may I ask if you are also from Xujiabao? Why don't you have a black robe and a mask?"
Li Rui sighed again: "Because I am not from Xujiabao, I don't need to mask my face in a black robe." ā
"Oh...... Then we don't interfere with the river water, you ......."
"No, I'm looking for you, saying, who told you to collect the souls of the dead, and who told you to collect the souls after killing?"
"Wronged, young man, we ...... How can we do this man's miracles, and what is the use of us collecting the souls of the dead?"
"You don't have to quibble, I just heard it, if you are honest, maybe I can let you live, otherwise, you will not see the sun tomorrow. ā
"Ah......" The black-robed masked people looked at each other, but finally chose to give in, because none of their most powerful orange-level grandmasters could sense Li Rui's cultivation, and even if they swarmed up, they would be looking for death.
At that moment, they had all the questions to answer, and they were scrambling to tell Li Rui how they came out to collect souls on the orders of the sect master.
However, Li Rui heard that the only useful thing was to know that this handful of black-robed masked people were from the Demon Sect on the Demon Cave Ridge, and they didn't know why they collected souls.
Li Rui also remembered at this moment that when he went to the ancient battlefield under the sea a few years ago, the Demon Sect that had come back began to disappear again, and it seemed that he must have been eyeing the souls of the dead from that moment.
But Li Rui thinks about it, it's wrong, if it's just to collect souls and go to soul cultivation, you can go to the ancient battlefield under the sea to catch the undead, why do you want to kill people and take souls?
couldn't help but ask Li Rui what they were doing three or four years ago?
The black-robed masked people knew everything, and they scrambled to tell Li Rui that they were looking around for something with the elders and sect leaders of the Demon Sect at that time, but they didn't say what this thing was.
It was only after a few years of searching that I found that thing, and that thing, only the sect leader and several elders, and Dharma protectors knew, and the rest were all kept in the dark, and their only task was to take advantage of the orc country to attack the Tuoba country, and fish in troubled waters to kill the people of the Tuoba country so that they could collect their souls.
Li Rui immediately asked where the thing was found.
They replied that they found it in the Eagle City not far from the Demon Cave Ridge, as if it was under the Eagle City, in short, none of the Demon Sect disciples who entered at that time came out, and only the sect leader and a few elders and Dharma protectors came out.
They guessed that the disciples of the Demon Sect who found the things were only afraid that they would be killed by the sect leader.
Li Rui then asked them what was the use of human souls after death for martial arts cultivators.
This handful of black-robed masked people didn't know, not even the orange-level grandmaster.
Li Rui seems to have realized that the soul that is similar to the existence of the undead can assist in soul cultivation, only those who have been to the ancient battlefield under the sea know it, these were busy looking for things at that time, where would they know?
Wudi, Li Rui suddenly thought of a possibility, this thing may be an important figure in the Demon Sect that survived a hundred years ago, in addition to the old sect leader, and he hid in the Eagle City not far from the main altar of the Demon Cave Ridge Demon Sect for a hundred years, and finally broke through the True Martial Realm, and he needed soul cultivation resources.
"Damn!" Li Rui thought of this, and became more and more resentful, breaking through the True Martial Realm, whether it was the Demon Sect or other sects and sects in the rivers and lakes, it was something worth celebrating, but if he killed innocent people for the sake of soul cultivation, he would be risking the world's disapproval!
Especially when the Orc Country swallowed up the Tuoba Country, he fished in troubled waters on a large scale, killing countless mortals and ordinary martial cultivators, causing corpses to be everywhere, which was even more tragic.
Li Rui couldn't wait to wave his hand to destroy this handful of black-robed masked people, but since he had promised to let them go as long as they confessed honestly, he couldn't kill them at this time.
Li Rui reluctantly let them go, and pondered alone in the night sky, how to avenge those people of the Tuoba Kingdom who died in vain, and eradicate this great scourge in the world, because this "thing" is a terrifying peerless powerhouse who has broken through the True Martial Realm......
