Chapter 228 If you don't want to die, get out of here.
Furthermore, why choose to discuss such an important plan to restore the sect in the back mountain of the Xuantian Sect?
Although it is secluded, it is not absolutely safe.
Unless... among those involved in the conspiracy, there are individuals with extremely sensitive identities who cannot easily leave the sect's territory, or whose whereabouts are easily exposed in the outside world!
By carefully piecing together these clues, it is not difficult to deduce that the Xuantian Sect has a traitor hidden within, and that the traitor's identity is definitely not low!
"No matter who you are or how well you hide, I will find you sooner or later and tear you to pieces!"
Li Wudao's eyes sharpened, and he secretly made a vow.
Although there are quite a few high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect, as long as he uses the power of insight of the [Haotian Eye], they will be able to overcome the challenge.
Even at the cost of expending their spiritual energy, they will investigate one by one until they find the venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
He had a strong premonition that that day was not far off.
Opposite the carriage.
Seeing the boy's uncertain expression, the green-haired turtle felt uneasy and muttered to himself, as if sitting on pins and needles:
"Damn, this kid's eyes are so scary... Could it be that he's spotted me...? No way..."
"Hey, what are you muttering about over there?"
Li Wudao put away the map and the ring, looking at it with some curiosity.
"No...nothing!"
The green-haired turtle was startled and quickly straightened its shell, trying to appear calm.
Li Wudao glanced at it with some suspicion, then casually asked, "You took the Soul-Capturing Bell?"
"Hmm—" the green-haired turtle responded softly, its eyes slightly unfocused.
"You took the other treasures too, didn't you?"
Seeing this, Li Wudao's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, and he said in a calm yet undeniable tone:
"Don't tell me that a Martial King at the peak of his power has accumulated a fortune of only those useless junks over many years."
"What...what other treasures?!"
The green-haired turtle's face stiffened, and its voice unconsciously rose eight octaves, trying to mask its guilt with its loudness, as it said:
"I only took that ghost-face bell, I didn't see anything else! Don't you dare spout nonsense!"
However, the instant it finished speaking—
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful! Investment projects: Soul-Capturing Bell, Soul-Binding Lock...]
[Investment target detected as the mythical beast Xuanwu, triggering a special reward stacking mechanism!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Star Chart, Void Stone, Soul Summoning Banner, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Stalactite, Enlightenment Tea...]
A series of system notifications rang in Li Wudao's mind.
This startled him instantly, and then his gaze toward the green-haired turtle became extremely "kind," with an undisguised chill creeping into the curve of his lips.
Damn it, he knew that greedy, cowardly bastard wouldn't behave!
I never expected it to be so bold and greedy. In addition to the Soul-Capturing Bell, it secretly embezzled a total of seven King-level treasures!
Seeing the boy's cold smile and silent gaze fixed intently on him, the green-haired turtle felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hey! Kid, what kind of look is that?!"
It braced itself, its voice trembling with fear, and cried out, "You doubt me? I swear on... on this incomparably noble... tortoise shell, and on my supreme character..."
"A full seven King-rank treasures..."
Li Wudao abruptly interrupted its oath, his tone laced with a hint of mockery and annoyance, "Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"
"What seven items? Wait... how... how do you know so much about them?!"
The green-haired turtle was so startled that it jumped up from its seat, staring at the boy with a horrified expression, as if it had seen a ghost.
It was emanating a chilling aura, feeling that the boy in front of it was extremely eerie!
It was confident that it had acted swiftly and cleanly, and that its aura had been concealed flawlessly. How on earth did this kid know so precisely that it had seven items hidden away?!
"secret!"
Li Wudao revealed a dangerous smile, stopped talking nonsense, and directly swung his fist. With a muffled "bang," a clear dark circle was imprinted on the green-haired turtle's left eye.
The green-haired turtle cried out in pain, "Damn it! You have no sportsmanship! Haven't you heard the saying 'Don't hit someone in the face'?!"
"Martial virtue? You, a greedy and untrustworthy fellow, dare to talk to me about rules?"
"Bang!" Another punch landed mercilessly on its right cheek, instantly giving it a pair of classic panda eyes, which looked comical and funny.
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"
Enraged, the green-haired turtle lunged forward, baring its teeth and claws, determined to "fight to the death."
Suddenly, the carriage, which had been moving smoothly, began to shake violently.
A series of muffled thuds came from inside, along with the green-haired turtle's furious cursing.
After a series of "friendly" and "in-depth" physical exchanges, the carriage finally returned to calm.
The green-haired turtle sullenly retreated to its corner, its once glossy shell now appearing somewhat dull, and the whole turtle looked sickly and withdrawn.
Especially its striking panda eyes make it look both aggrieved and comical.
Clearly, it gained no advantage in the "friendly exchange" just now, but instead learned a hard lesson.
In the end, Li Wudao did not actually retrieve all seven King-level treasures.
He knew the old tortoise's greedy nature well, and his main purpose in "teaching it a lesson" was to make it restrain its nature and follow some rules.
This little episode passed quickly.
..........
Before long, the carriage slowly came to a stop a hundred meters away from the majestic palace gates.
No matter how Li Wudao tried to persuade him or even offered a higher price, the old driver refused to take another step forward, fearing that he would get into trouble and bring about his own death.
Seeing this, the boy stopped insisting, readily paid the fare, and got off the carriage with the green-haired turtle, who had dark circles under its eyes and was still drooping its head.
By this time, the dawn had completely dispelled the darkness of night.
The golden rays of sunlight shone down, illuminating the magnificent and ever-changing imperial palace complex in the distance, making it appear resplendent and its glazed tiles gleam, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity.
The man and the tortoise walked leisurely towards the heavily guarded main gate of the palace, their expressions calm and casual.
His appearance was like that of someone on a picnic or outing, which seemed completely out of place with the somber atmosphere around him.
In front of the palace gate.
Dozens of heavily armed imperial guards, their eyes sharp as hawks, had already noticed them. A chilling, murderous aura emanated from them as they locked onto the two uninvited guests.
"stop!"
The leading imperial guard captain strode forward, his gleaming halberd pointing diagonally at the ground, and issued a stern warning, "This is the imperial palace, no unauthorized personnel allowed. Leave immediately! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
The sound echoed in front of the empty palace gates, carrying a metallic quality.
However, Li Wudao seemed not to hear, his steps did not falter in the slightest, and he continued to walk forward at his original pace.
A white dress fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, and her high ponytail swayed in the wind with a dashing and unrestrained arc.
His expression was indifferent, his gaze calmly passing over the imperial guards and looking at the palace gate, which was as deep as the mouth of a giant beast, as if he were examining a lifeless object.
Before the Imperial Guard captain could reprimand him again.
Li Wudao simply uttered a few words: "Those who don't want to die, get out of the way."
The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry ice shards, clearly reaching the ears of every Imperial Guard, with a chilling indifference to life and death.
