Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Loyal and Righteous Li Liuxin

Li Liuxin’s face subtly changed upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, and he said, "That... That currently remains a commercial secret, I can’t tell you yet."

"Was it you who leaked the news of their death?"

Shi Feng asked icily, and Li Liuxin could instantly feel the murderous aura emanating from Shi Feng.

Only a few people knew of Jin Lin’s and Feng Yunxiao’s death, and the fate of the Demon Wolf Army was in his own hands; they wouldn’t speak, and Yuel Wushuang certainly wouldn’t leak the news.

Sensing the murderous aura from Shi Feng, Li Liuxin immediately switched to an image brimming with integrity, and said, "Brother Shi, what are you saying? In my life, Li Liuxin values loyalty above all else, definitely not the kind of person to betray friends for the sake of profit!" He looked resolute, his voice firm and righteous, resonating as if he truly was a man of great loyalty and honor.

Shi Feng cast a disdainful glance at him, and Li Liuxin caught that look of contempt.

"Brother Shi, by the look on your face, it seems there might be some misunderstanding about me, Li Liuxin. I swear, their deaths were definitely not leaked by me, Li Liuxin! I am absolutely not that kind of person!

Feng Yunxiao and Jin Lin, one a Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master from the Skywind Sect, the other the sole son of the Old Golden Peng King, their Sect and Royal Residence had their soul imprints recorded on soul stones. The moment they died, the Skywind Sect and the Golden Peng Royal Mansion would naturally be aware, and before they entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range with me, their Sect and households were informed."

After hearing Li Liuxin’s explanation, Shi Feng finally retracted his killing intent. Both figures held status within the small nation, so it was normal for their Sect and family to keep soul imprints.

As Shi Feng withdrew his murderous aura, Li Liuxin instantly felt lighter. He then realized that this young man had seemingly grown stronger in the mere few days since they’d last seen each other. Li Liuxin had the feeling that if Shi Feng wanted to kill him at this moment, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"Brother Shi, there’s no feast that doesn’t come to an end. I have some private matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now," Li Liuxin said as he clasped his fists towards Shi Feng, speaking earnestly. At this moment, he thought it was wise to stay away from this Killing Star. What reward or compensation there was—none of it mattered as much as his own life, and by the looks of this Killing Star, there was no intention of exchanging information.

"Wait a moment!" Shi Feng called out to Li Liuxin just as he was about to leave.

"Uh..." Li Liuxin was startled, and asked, "Is there anything else, Brother Shi?"

"How many came with them, and what are their realms?" Shi Feng inquired.

"That... If Brother Shi wishes to know..."

"Hmm?"

Li Liuxin was cut off halfway through his sentence by a cold snort from Shi Feng.

Li Liuxin swallowed nervously, then looked up to the sky, showing an expression of sorrow for all humans and said, "If that’s the case, alas, Brother Shi is currently in danger; how could I possibly bring up the matter of payment to him? I, Li Liuxin, am simply not that kind of person.

Upon receiving news of the deaths of Jin Lin and Fengg Yunxiao, the Golden Peng King of the Golden Peng Royal Mansion and the Skywind Sect Master were both furious, especially the Golden Peng Old Prince. Jin Lin was his only child. After dominating the battlefield for decades, he had his son at the age of forty, and he had placed all his hopes on him..."

"Get to the point. I’m not interested in hearing this," Shi Feng interrupted Li Liuxin in mid-sentence.

"Ah..." Li Liuxin, having been suddenly silenced, drew out a long, low tone, then continued, "The Skywind Sect has mobilized a total of twenty Martial Kings and two hundred Martial Spirits, led by Fengg Luohan, the Four-star Martial Sovereign and Deputy Sect Master.

As for the Golden Peng Royal Mansion, they have almost deployed everyone from the mansion. In addition, to seek vengeance for his son, the Golden Peng Old Prince asked for a hundred-thousand strong army from the Emperor of Yunlai Empire and has surrounded Demon Beast City and the Demon Beast Mountain Range. The Golden Peng Old Prince, whose Martial Arts Realm is also at the Six-star Martial Emperor level, is moving in to leave no suspicious person unturned."

"The most suspicious person who might have killed them would be you, who went into the mountain with them," Shi Feng said.

If a Four-star Martial King were to take Fengg Yunxiao, the Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master, by surprise, kill him, and then deal with Jin Lin, who was at the Three-star Martial King Realm, it would be entirely plausible, especially since they entered the mountain together and would obviously not be wary of Li Liuxin.

"Who says they aren’t?" blurted Li Liuxin, then realizing his slip, quickly corrected himself, "Considering the character of Li Liuxin, of course, no one would suspect me of such a thing."

"Then why are you moving in this direction instead of heading towards the exit of the Demon Beast Mountain Range?" Shi Feng asked him.

"Er... alright." Li Liuxin let out a deep sigh, "To think that I, Li Liuxin, who has always lived upright and sat straight, a man who would go through fire and water for friends, am now suspected of being the murderer of my friends. These people, who must have their brains kicked by a donkey, are even putting out a warrant for my arrest!

That old Undying thing, Golden Peng, has been blinded by rage, shouting that if I’m not dead, he will surely have me executed, crush my bones to dust. How unjust is this?"

"Ghost Wolf, let’s go!" Having learned the information he needed, Shi Feng no longer paid attention to Li Liuxin and gave the order to Ghost Wolf, who instantly bolted, leaving Li Liuxin and the bluebird far behind.

"Such a disloyal fellow. You do the killing, yet I take the blame," Li Liuxin muttered discontentedly as he watched Shi Feng quickly disappear into the distance. After a while, he looked back over his shoulder to see that no one was following, and he let out a secret sigh of relief, then threatened the bluebird below him, "You dumb bird, fly faster. If these beasts catch me, you’ll be the first one I slay."

At this moment, Shi Feng felt an urgency to get to the Ice Snow Land as soon as possible, to find that Snow Yin Flower before others discovered it in the mountain. A Sixth-stage Sect Level Spiritual Medicine was like Divine Medicine to people of such a small country. Besides, the Snow Yin Flower’s miraculous healing effects meant an extra life-saving measure for any Martial Artist during a battle of life and death; naturally, everyone sought it.

Two Martial Emperors had entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range. According to what Li Liuxin had just said, one was a Four-star Martial Emperor, and the other was a Six-star Martial Emperor. Shi Feng currently was not able to face them head-on; with his Three-star Martial King Cultivation Level and his Profound Mystery Nine Nether Martial Techniques, he was only equivalent to a One-star Martial Emperor.

And the Soul Attack, the Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal, could potentially kill a Four-star Martial Emperor powerhouse by surprise when combined with the Nine Nether Four Extremes Seal, but the power expended was simply too great.
