Su Xi watched Ouyang Chu Ge's bloodthirsty expression without stopping him, finding it quite normal.
The kind are often bullied. What they needed now was not peace, but action.
Only by eliminating all enemies could they have a chance to survive. Otherwise, those people would not stop and would continue to attack.
After all, enemies' intentions could not be warmed, only their bodies could be warmed to avoid being summoned.
So without much hesitation, Su Xi took out the list she had searched from the previous person. After carefully reading it, she spoke to Ouyang Chu Ge beside her, "We will now proceed to clear according to this list. Only by dealing with these hidden enemies can we complete the remaining tasks."
Su Xi called out, and then she and Ouyang Chu Ge followed the red dots on the map, preparing to resolve the issues bit by bit.
When they took action, they realized that the Old Ancestor of the Yu family had greatly helped them.
To facilitate communication, the Old Ancestor of the Yu family had equipped everyone with communication tools to help exchange information with each other.
Therefore, it was not difficult to find everyone now.
As long as they followed the communication tools, no one could escape.
Su Xi looked at the direction indicated by the communicator and, combining it with her map, began the clearing work.
Because everyone had not anticipated such a situation, they were all caught off guard.
On the other side of the mountain, two people were fighting a fifth-level demonic beast.
Under the siege of the two, this unicorn began to weaken further, clearly on its last legs.
Looking at the unicorn before them, the two did not rush to attack. Instead, they continued to circle and entangle it, preparing to exhaust its strength.
Only by completely exhausting the unicorn could the problem be solved.
They both knew that the unicorn's final death throes would be extremely powerful.
With their cultivation, once they encountered it, they would surely die, with no will to live.
Therefore, neither of them wanted to be the one to bear that blow.
By exhausting the unicorn's strength, they could obtain its resources without shedding blood.
Fifth-level demonic beasts yielded considerable points, so they would definitely gain a lot. Becoming marquises and chancellors was even a possibility.
The path of cultivation was ultimately about pursuing freedom and ease.
So, since such an opportunity presented itself, why wouldn't they cherish it?
While these two were continuously entangling with the unicorn, they did not notice Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge approaching them.
After lurking nearby, they did not reveal themselves but decisively chose to wait and see.
Their goal was to kill, but they also did not want to miss out on prey.
After all, hunting these prey would require some effort. If someone else did the work for them, they had to cherish it.
Although the unicorn sensed the intentions of these two, it was now surrounded and could not escape.
It could only roar furiously in its mouth, expressing its discontent.
Seeing this scene, the two knew that the situation was almost ripe for harvesting.
Therefore, they both unleashed their most powerful moves and dealt with the unicorn.
After dispatching the unicorn, the two began to walk forward, preparing to enjoy the spoils of war.
However, they stopped not long after.
It wasn't that they didn't want the unicorn, but because Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge had appeared before them, blocking their path.
Seeing Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge appear before them, Li Pengju froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief.
From their previous communication, those people had clearly said that Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge had been killed. He couldn't understand why they were still here.
So, their presence here could only mean one thing.
That was that the assassination attempt had failed.
When he thought that three Nascent Soul stage experts had attacked, yet they were still counter-killed by Su Xi and the others, Li Pengju felt an indescribable fear.
This was going to cost him his life.
How could he possibly fight so many people by himself?
"What do you want?" The other person, unaware of Li Pengju's plan, looked at Su Xi and asked a soul-searching question.
Su Xi looked at the little bald man before her, a smile on her face.
This person's question was indeed well-put.
Now that this person was doing such a thing, he was still asking her. Was he showing off his treasure or was he being funny?
And didn't they know what kind of competition they were participating in?
They didn't know the rules and were still asking her.
"You really don't know what we want?" Su Xi looked at Li Pengju, a playful smile on her face.
If you don't cause trouble, you won't have so much trouble.
The other man noticed Su Xi's gaze and looked back at Li Pengju, asking, "Brother Li, do you know what's going on?"
He also noticed that Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge were not easy to deal with, so if the situation allowed, he definitely didn't want to fight.
No one wanted to live a long life and then go looking for trouble.
Li Pengju's face was grim, but he still shook his head helplessly, "I don't know about these two people."
He obviously couldn't tell the truth, otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
After all, in their line of work, wavering was the most taboo. If people knew that he had not only taken money from the Seventh Prince but also from the Old Ancestor of the Yu family.
Then he would gain nothing from either side, and no one would want to use him again.
No one wanted their subordinates to be disloyal.
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Pengju talking nonsense.
She thought she was a good liar, but she didn't expect Li Pengju, that scoundrel, to be even better. Even when facing death, he was still lying.
But unfortunately, the cultivation world relied not on words, but on fists.
Whoever had the harder fist could reason well.
Talking so much nonsense was not as good as fighting.
If they won, there would be no need for nonsense. If they lost, they wouldn't have the chance to talk nonsense. So it was better to save their strength and fight directly.
Knowing this, Su Xi immediately took action.
Seeing Su Xi make a move, Li Pengju took out a jade pendant and poured his magic power into it frantically.
He had not improved his cultivation over the years, but he had refined an excellent defensive magical treasure for himself.
As long as he was within this treasure, even a Void Refinement stage expert could not break its defense. It could be said that he was in an invincible position from the beginning.
Seeing this, Su Xi immediately thought of a word in her mind.
Green turtle.
However, although she disdained such behavior, she was also helpless.
Li Pengju's defense was too formidable, and it was very difficult to break it with attacks. Although it wasn't impossible, there was another person watching covetously.
If they were not careful and attacked too fiercely, they would not be able to deal with the enemy in the end and would be ambushed.
Therefore, for safety, the most important thing was not to act impulsively.
Understanding this, Su Xi gave Ouyang Chu Ge a look.
The best situation now was to be safe.
Ouyang Chu Ge, having received Su Xi's signal, immediately went behind Li Pengju.
However, he did not attack immediately but simply stood there quietly.
???
Li Pengju's companion looked at this scene, with countless question marks appearing on his forehead.
What was going on?
Wasn't he still here? Couldn't he have some sense of presence?
But even though he felt ignored, he was not unhappy at all. In fact, he was a little pleased.
Since these people were acting like this, it meant he was temporarily safe.
Everyone had their own intentions, and naturally, they wouldn't give their all for someone else.
Li Pengju was clearly facing an enemy, so as long as he didn't get into trouble, he would be fine.
With this mindset, he decisively stood aside.
Li Pengju was initially worried about Su Xi's actions, thinking he might be in trouble. But to his surprise, seeing that Su Xi's attacks outside had no effect after so long, he relaxed.
They were just weaklings, there was no need to worry too much.
Once Su Xi and the others ran out of magic power, it would be their chance to act.
Su Xi saw the smile on Li Pengju's face and stopped her attack. "I know what you're thinking, but there's one problem you haven't considered."
"???"
Li Pengju looked at Su Xi in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Su Xi looked at Li Pengju before her and said with a smile, "Do you think this is easy? Your defense is indeed powerful, but have you considered one problem: how long can your magic power last?"
Since Su Xi discovered that Li Pengju's defense was very strong, she had prepared to use attrition.
If they could deal with the unicorn like this, they could also deal with Li Pengju like this.
Her magic power had a cost, but Li Pengju supporting such a large magical treasure would also consume a considerable amount.
If she didn't attack, there would be no cost, but Li Pengju had to continuously supply magic power to support this formation. Let's see who would give out first.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Li Pengju's face turned red with anger, and he cursed, "You're so despicable! Don't you know what you're doing is immoral?"
Although he was angry, he was helpless.
If it weren't for his pride, he might have shed tears.
