Chapter 195: Chapter 179: Leave it to me (6000-word mega Chapter) _4

Seeing that Xi Ying was struggling more and more in the violent waves, gradually sinking into the water, Li Xuan finally reached out to erase the two blood characters behind the ’Locust Puppet’.

However, the Heavenly-Demon within wasn’t willing to give up. It wriggled its body to avoid Li Xuan’s hand: "Don’t! Please, protector, show mercy! I took great pains to get out of the Heart Asking Bell this once, just let me see what the outside world is like. I’ve been stuck in there for twelve hundred years, bored to death."

Li Xuan answered heartlessly, "Whether you’re bored or not, you have to go back. The Heart Asking Bell cannot be left unguarded, and I do not trust this Heavenly Demon of yours and dare not indulge you."

The Heavenly-Demon ’Suxin’ could only give a bitter laugh, "The Hufa of Neo-Confucianism for this generation has already been selected, who would suffer inside the Heart Asking Bell without reason? I can’t escape anyway. Your ’unity of knowledge and action’ has made Master Yu’s seal even stronger."

Yet Li Xuan just sneered and, without any hesitation, erased the blood characters behind the Locust Puppet.

He thought, "I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you! Just now, Xi Ying was lured into the Heart Asking Bell by ’Suxin’, and nearly ninety percent of his vitality and spirit were drained by this Heavenly-Demon."

He and Yue Qianqian tried everything they could to guard against it, but they still fell for the trick of this Heavenly-Demon.

Afterward, Li Xuan turned his gaze towards Zhenjiang, opening his ’Tao-protecting Eyes’ to observe the distance.

Unfortunately, despite the distance of dozens of miles, he couldn’t see much. Although the view from the Tao-protecting Eyes was much more powerful than the hundred times digital zoom of a Huawei smartphone, Li Xuan’s weak cultivation skill did not allow him to fully utilize the power of the Tao-protecting Eyes. All he could see was a large cluster of shining lightning and a wild wind swirling around it for ten miles.

Su Linghuan had exhausted all his power and rushed over there. Xue Yunrou also used her spells again, urging the speed boat to fly in the direction of Zhenjiang.

"Should we go there?"

"No need," Li Xuan shook his head, "We’d better find a suitable place to watch from afar. As long as we don’t get in their way, that’s fine."

The situation was different from before. At that time, Li Yan’s life or death was unclear, and he had no idea that Su Zhaojun had already arrived nearby.

His thought at the time was to go and see what was happening - at worst, he would simply sacrifice three months of his lifespan to persuade the red-clothed ghost to take action. In any case, Li Yan must be saved.

But now, with Su Zhaojun and his servant present, Li Yan was likely safe. As a weakling in the Fourth-Floor Territory, his presence would likely just be a nuisance.

Then Li Xuan looked at Xue Yunrou gratefully, "Thank you, Yunrou. If it wasn’t for you, I might not have made it in time. I owe you a big one."

Accompanying him to Zhenjiang involved a huge risk. Master Feng, Lin Ziyang, is a formidable master who has been renowned in Jiangnan for a long time and a powerful entity who opened The Fourth Gate.

Yet Xue Yunrou never hesitated, she unhesitatingly accompanied him into that danger spot.

"You can’t say that," Xue Yunrou glared at Li Xuan, "When you pushed me out in the Underground, you didn’t hesitate at all. Today, I just gave you a little help, does that count for anything?"

Li Xuan chuckled, "Then we’re even!"

"Must you use the word ’owe’?"

Xue Yunrou looked at Li Xuan with her clear, black-and-white eyes, "Li Xuan, you know very well my feelings for you. For you, I would do anyth—"

Just then, a young girl in silver armor appeared in the sky.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened here?"

When the figure of this girl landed on the boat, the speed boat, which could only accommodate four people, didn’t sink at all.

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised but immediately saluted the girl, "Xiaowei, ma’am!"

Xue Yunrou just ’tsk’ed, turning her eyes away with a bit of resentment. The atmosphere was perfect until it was completely ruined by her cousin’s arrival.

Her cousin’s timing was impeccable—
