Chapter 84 If I don’t stop you, am I going to watch you die?

“Junior Brother, the Bloodfiend Sect must have some plans against you.”

“These past few days, Disciples from the Barren Xuan Sect and the Bloodfiend Sect have been spreading rumors that you are hiding in Hundred Swords Mountain, too afraid to venture out.”

Luo Li couldn't help but say.

The Disciples from both Sects were slandering Li Xuanfeng everywhere, saying he was timid, fearful, and cowardly, that he relied on Lian Yuezhou's power to kill a Cultivator beyond his Realm but took all the credit for himself, creating a false image of being an peerless Prodigy.

The Personal Disciple of the Bloodfiend Sect's Sect Master openly challenged Li Xuanfeng, demanding he come out and fight if he dared.

Li Xuanfeng's continued refusal to respond only fueled the rampant slanders against him, claiming he sought fame by dishonest means and that his talent and strength were far inferior to the True Disciples of the Bloodfiend Sect.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew this was a crude trap, deliberately designed to lure Li Xuanfeng out of the mountain; if he couldn't resist the provocation and truly left, a fatal blow would await him.

“A clumsy trick, no need to pay attention to it.”

Li Xuanfeng said indifferently.

The Bloodfiend Sect's approach was indeed clumsy, but sometimes such methods were very effective.

Even a clay figure has a temper; constant insults, mockery, humiliation, and the spread of negative rumors in front of others, coupled with relentless slander, could easily provoke someone to lose their reason if they lacked strong mental fortitude.

Especially Prodigies; many Prodigies are arrogant and cannot tolerate such taunting tactics.

But for Li Xuanfeng, it didn't matter, because he was going out anyway.

Whether the Disciples of the Barren Xuan Sect cursed or slandered him, he was going out to eliminate them!

Seeing Li Xuanfeng's unconcerned and indifferent demeanor, Luo Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she was afraid Li Xuanfeng might succumb to the provocation after hearing the external rumors.

Hundred Swords Mountain had a mountain-protecting array; even if the Bloodfiend Sect hated Li Xuanfeng to the core, they couldn't do anything to him.

As long as Li Xuanfeng stayed within the Sect, he was safe.

Although the Bloodfiend Sect was strong, no one dared to rush into the Hundred Swords Mountain's lair to kill him, not even the Bloodfiend Sect's Sect Master!

If there ever came a day when someone forcefully breached Hundred Swords Mountain to kill Li Xuanfeng, it would surely be the day a Sect war began.

In Luo Li's heart, Li Xuanfeng was the most prodigious, but prodigious did not mean invincible.

Even with the Master's Jade Slip for protection, facing a premeditated assassination might leave him no chance to use the Jade Slip.

Worried that Li Xuanfeng might actually run out, Luo Li couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Li Xuanfeng symbolically dealt with it before returning to Minor Xuan Peak.

He spent a few breaths learning and successfully casting the “Three Divine Soul Arts.”

He then spent an hour practicing it to the Major Achievement Realm.

“This secret art is indeed good!”

Li Xuanfeng secretly evaluated.

The “Three Divine Soul Arts” mainly consisted of three parts: offense, defense, and premonition.

Offense referred to attack, using Divine Sense to engrave secret art runes, which then materialized and condensed into various weapons with extremely strong lethality, such as Soul needles and Soul thorns.

Defense referred to protection; Divine Sense could also be condensed into a shield through secret art runes to block Soul attacks.

Offense and defense were relatively simple; the difficult part was premonition.

Premonition referred to early warning; if mastered proficiently, the Soul would show signs before danger arrived, allowing the Cultivator to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Simply put, it was foreseeing danger, but not directly seeing the future; rather, when something that threatened one's safety existed within a short period, the Soul would give an early warning.

For example, one would sense it when being spied upon by malicious gazes, or have a premonition before being ambushed.

Li Xuanfeng had the System by his side; before acting, he could observe the color of his fate to predict good or ill fortune, so the “premonition” aspect of the “Three Divine Soul Arts” was merely icing on the cake for him.

However, having it was better than not; if someone ambushed him, or secretly spied on him with malicious intent, he would be able to detect it.

“After a month's delay, it's time to eliminate the Barren Xuan Sect!”

Li Xuanfeng spread his palm, and a silver-white small pagoda quietly floated.

This was his biggest trump card besides the Incarnation Jade Slip, capable of suppressing and killing Cultivators of the Unity Realm!

Even without these two trump cards, Li Xuanfeng's own strength could rival a Cultivator at the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Before departing, Li Xuanfeng sought out an Elder in the Hall of Affairs and requested intelligence regarding the Barren Xuan Sect and the Bloodfiend Sect.

When Li Xuanfeng appeared in the Hall of Affairs, it immediately caused a huge stir.

Many Disciples were fanatical like believers; Li Xuanfeng hadn't expected his reputation to have grown so large unknowingly, so he quickly withdrew and left, much to the regret of the Disciples who had rushed over but failed to see him.

Using the System to check the color of his fate, it was still a Chaos light, indicating no danger on this trip.

“This journey is auspicious!”

Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but smile.

For him, no danger meant great auspiciousness.

Whoosh!

His figure moved, breaking through the air and departing.

Li Xuanfeng knew that in the current situation, it was impossible for him to sneak out of Hundred Swords Mountain quietly, so he didn't conceal his tracks.

Indeed, as soon as he flew out of Minor Xuan Peak, he was stopped by a graceful figure.

“Junior Brother, you really want to go out!”

Luo Li, her brilliant silver hair fluttering in the wind, looked at Li Xuanfeng with a somewhat helpless expression.

What about the agreement that clumsy tricks were not to be paid attention to?

Did Junior Brother still care about those lowly provocations from the outside world?

“Senior Sister, why are you stopping me?”

Li Xuanfeng asked, knowing the answer.

“If I don't stop you, am I supposed to watch you go out and die?”

Luo Li said testily.

“You also know that their slanders are clumsy tricks, low-level provocations; they must have set up an ambush waiting for you to fall into it. Why knowingly head for the tiger's den?”

Luo Li looked at Li Xuanfeng.

“I'll be fine.”

Li Xuanfeng said calmly.

“Master's Jade Slip you've already used…”

Luo Li's words were cut short by a Jade Slip that suddenly appeared in Li Xuanfeng's hand.

“You should know that crushing a Jade Slip also takes time; they couldn't possibly not have considered that!”

Luo Li bit her silver teeth; was Li Xuanfeng truly determined to go out?

“Senior Sister, stop talking. I know what I'm doing.”

“Besides, you can't stop me!”

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

“Hmm?”

Luo Li felt that her Junior Brother was provoking her, and couldn't help but let out a nasal sound that gradually rose in pitch.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng took a step into the air, moving with astonishing speed, appearing before Luo Li in an instant.

Luo Li was startled; her jade hand had just lifted when Li Xuanfeng grabbed her fair wrist.

Li Xuanfeng's large hand seemed to possess infinite strength; Luo Li was so constrained that she couldn't break free.

“Junior Brother, you!”

Luo Li's pretty face was filled with shock.

Although Li Xuanfeng was able to grab her because he caught her off guard and she had no defenses whatsoever, in terms of strength, she had been completely overpowered and couldn't break free without paying a huge price.

Luo Li had a slender physique and perfect proportions, a typical long-legged beauty, but she was still a head shorter than Li Xuanfeng.

At this moment, being tightly held by Li Xuanfeng's wrist and unable to break free, she happened to notice him looking down, and Luo Li's heart suddenly fluttered.

“Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing on this trip out of the mountain. Please don't stop me anymore.”

Li Xuanfeng smiled.
