Chapter 258: Chapter 183: Meeting Again_3

From the merchants in the crowd, Li Yi learned the name of the extraordinary creature.

The legendary evil spirit of the mountain, the Mountain Demon.

It was said that Mountain Demons could bewitch people’s hearts with their divine power unmatched, capable of tearing fierce beasts alive. Ordinary masters of Spiritual Perception wouldn’t stand a chance, let alone hunt it; even surviving was difficult.

But for the merchants, what mattered was not what the creature was but that it was alive. Since it was alive, it could continuously generate profit, so they were eager to buy it, and the bidding was fierce. In just a short moment, the price had already exceeded five hundred million and was still rising.

Li Yi did not envy others but admired them, as surely those who could capture an extraordinary creature alive had exceptional strength, which was well deserved.

However, his expression soon turned ugly.

Because he noticed a familiar person near the convoy.

The person had a tall figure, long hair cascading over their shoulders, and stood with hands behind their back, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

Yang Yilong!

Indeed, it was Yang Yilong.

And there was a woman standing beside Yang Yilong, was that Qin Qing with her green vertical pupils?

At that moment, Li Yi felt his brain slightly crash. Why was Qin Qing still with Yang Yilong? Wasn’t she abandoned by Yang Yilong for treatment? No, that’s not right. Qin Qing’s current appearance seemed healed, without any anomalies. Had Yang Yilong treated her?

Very likely.

Last time Li Yi had seen Yang Yilong, he had spoken to the vice president of the Cultivator Association, Li Shaqing, about Qin Qing’s matter. It was highly probable that Yang Yilong, unable to withstand the pressure, eventually paid for Qin Qing’s treatment. Later, when Yang Yilong wanted to kill him, Qin Qing had tipped off Lin Yue. Although it didn’t help much, it indirectly assisted him.

Was this a case of reciprocating the favor?

Looking at it now, no wonder Yang Yilong was selling his boxing techniques. He wanted to cover his losses through Li Yi, especially since, aside from Qin Qing’s treatment, the Yang Family’s company had also been sealed due to the last incident with Wang Jian. They must be in desperate need of money now.

Truly a naturally evil guy.

Li Yi suddenly felt as though he had been bitten by a dog, utterly helpless and disgusted.

"Why don’t you try selling the Guiding Skill?"

Let’s see if the original owner of the Guiding Skill comes to trouble you, Yang Yilong.

You dare to sell the boxing techniques, but not the Guiding Skill, afraid of the trouble it would bring, isn’t it?

A vile character who bullies the weak but fears the strong.

Ptui!

Li Yi spat fiercely.

He knew that now was not the time to confront Yang Yilong, for he was still not strong enough, and more importantly, the opponent had a number advantage, not just including Qin Qing, a master of Spiritual Perception, but also several other strong teammates.

This was a top-tier team of Cultivators, not like the group led by Wang Yu that he had encountered before. Li Yi had managed to kill those two masters of Spiritual Perception before because they were not particularly strong and had been severely injured from hunting an extraordinary creature; his unexpected shooting had helped him win... If it were a direct confrontation with a perfectly capable top contender in the Spiritual Realm, Li Yi’s chances of winning were not high.

With less than a 90% chance of winning, fighting Yang Yilong head-on would only result in a loss for himself.

However, just as Li Yi was thinking this,

suddenly,

Yang Yilong, not far away, sensed something, his gaze sharply turning to lock onto Li Yi amid the crowd.

At that moment, the smile on Yang Yilong’s face disappeared instantly, his eyes revealing a chilling intent to kill. His long hair that draped over his shoulders unconsciously began to float, his body flickering with streaks of white light, as if static electricity was sparkling.

It was an instinctual activation of his Guiding Skill.

"Yang Yilong, what’s going on?" Qin Qing, noticing this, furrowed her brows and immediately asked.

"It’s Li Yi..." Yang Yilong said calmly.

Qin Qing’s green vertical pupils immediately followed his gaze and indeed saw Li Yi in the crowd, who was also looking back at them, his own pupils emanating light.

Both sides resembled top-tier predators of the food chain, having now met each other.

However, Qin Qing’s look towards Li Yi was complex, lacking murderous intent, because she had no personal grievances with Li Yi. In fact, the last time she had received treatment because of something Li Yi said. However, she understood Yang Yilong’s actions. It wasn’t that he was selfishly refusing her treatment; he was burdened with managing all the resources of the Yang Family, bearing the responsibility for the survival of his family, eager to become a Cross-border... He carried everyone’s lives on his shoulders, hence he had to make many unwilling decisions.
