However, Li Ji's position was too close, and the Western Turks quickly discovered Li Ji's existence, and the Zhongzhang immediately issued an order to get rid of Li Ji.

They regarded Li Ji as Luo Yuecheng's spy, and they must deal with him quickly.

A few fast horses broke away from the main force. There were almost no obstacles on the grassland, and there was no need to take any detours. They went straight towards Li Ji.

What they were thinking was very simple. Since Li Ji was outside the city, it would be impossible to go back. And if he wanted to escape, it would be impossible for a person to outrun the thousand-mile horse they were sitting on by foot power.

of.

Therefore, they roared, waved the sharp knives in their hands, broke away from the main force, and rushed towards Li Ji.

Li Ji was originally looking at him in fascination when he suddenly turned around and looked over, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He noticed the people who were rushing towards him. Although he could ignore them, this was still a sign of dissatisfaction.

trouble.

But if he takes care of it, it will be even more troublesome. The other party will definitely recognize that he is a member of the Luo Yueshi, and will definitely send more people to kill him. This goes against Li Ji's wishes. He

Just wanted to see the results.

After scratching his head, Li Ji just stood there, watching them rush towards him.

And these few who were sent to kill Li Ji were not ordinary soldiers. The worst among them were centurions. Seeing such a calm Li Ji at this moment, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

.

Regardless of whether Li Ji was really calm or fake, when they were still a few feet away from Li Ji, they stopped their horses beautifully and stood in front of Li Ji.

Li Ji roughly squinted his eyes and looked around. There were five people in total. Except for the one in the middle who looked older, the others should be in their twenties or around thirty. There was also a bit of excitement in their eyes.

Fearful, as if he was a little afraid of Li Ji's calmness.

"Who are you?"

The older officer in the middle thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

Li Ji scratched his chin and said with a smile, "I was passing by."

This answer almost caused the five people to fall off their horses. Several people coughed a few times, and the other person shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, kid. Who are you?"

"You're asking me who I am in Southern terms? Don't you think there's something wrong with your brain?" Li Ji's expression became much colder, he stared at him and replied coldly.

The middle-aged man thought of something, looked at Li Ji, but smiled lightly and said: "I will ask you in southern language. It's actually very simple, because I don't think you look like someone from Beiming."

"snort!"

"Then you still ask?"

"Of course I have to ask, but I am a little curious. You are speaking so loudly, and you are not from Beiming. Who are you?"

"I told you, I was just passing by."

The middle-aged man was not angry. He just asked calmly: "How could it be such a coincidence? It happens to be today at this time, and you are covered in blood and still have undissipated murderous intent. This is not as simple as passing by, right?

?”

"Why, can't it be done?"

"Okay, but you are not a human, are you?" The middle-aged man's left eye flashed, as if he saw something, and then he looked shocked and asked tentatively.

"Yang eyes?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"Cultivator?"

"..."

No answer.

"Since you saw my strength, why didn't you answer?" The middle-aged man had a little cold sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously more afraid of Li Ji.

"I remember that the Yang Eye is very rare, and activating it requires a lot of spiritual power. How can you, a mortal, activate it?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Every time I use Yang Eye, I will rest for several days."

"Then you just use blood and semen!"

"Aren't you afraid of death? A person's blood essence is limited, and the regeneration speed is very slow. If you use it once, you won't be able to recover after a few days of rest. I wonder if you sleep every night now

The pain is excruciating all the time, why can’t I sleep?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and did not answer, but his expression told Li Ji the answer.

"You are really not afraid of death! You have been running out of energy and blood for a long time. Haven't you noticed yet?"

"I...I was aware of it, but I thought it was a side effect of using Yang Eyes, so I didn't think too much about it."

"Are you really a cultivator?"

"Why do you insist on asking this question?"

"Because we in the Western Turks have an immortal master, he is a cultivator, and he taught me how to use my Yang Eye."

When the middle-aged man said this, he was very grateful, as if the immortal master had given him a chance to be reborn.

Li Ji squinted his eyes, secretly feeling that something was wrong. He carefully observed the man's eyes again and couldn't see anything wrong, but it gave Li Ji the illusion that these were not his eyes.

And just after this man used his Yang Eye, Li Ji clearly felt that something was staring at him, but the owner of this gaze seemed to be very far away and not here.

When he thought of this, Li Ji couldn't help but look into his eyes again.

Suddenly Li Ji saw something, and he frowned deeply.

Just now, the man's left eye sunk down a little bit, as if it was swallowing the man's blood, but it seemed to notice that Li Ji saw it, and it just recovered in an instant.

As is.

"This is not the Yang Eye. This is clearly the soul-stealing technique of the Immortality Sect. But that's wrong. Isn't the practice of the soul-stealing technique prohibited by the Changsheng Sect? How come there are still people who can do it?"

Li Ji's mind was racing. The development of this matter was beyond his imagination. This soul-stealing technique is not a good thing. Just from the name, you can know that it is an extremely cruel and cruel technique.

After this spell was created, even the Immortality Cult themselves felt that this technique was too sinister and forbade their disciples from practicing this technique. They also sealed this technique. Even if it was still spread outside, it was basically banned.

The Immortality Sect sent someone to bring them back. Could it be that this is the descendant of the disciples of the Immortality Sect who were not brought back?

But that’s not right. Looking at this man’s reaction, basically all his essence and blood have been taken away, and even his soul is about to be swallowed up. This should happen in ten or twenty years. This time cannot be short, and the Western Turks

It is also one of the largest tribes in Beiming, how could it not be noticed?

Suddenly, Li Ji smiled and suddenly realized that this was actually not impossible. As long as a person practiced the art of stealing souls, he himself was the highest power controller in Western Turks, so naturally it would be easier to hide it.

You must know that the world of cultivation does not interfere in wars between mortals. No matter who loses or wins, no matter who the land belongs to in the end, it is not important to the world of cultivation. A cultivator lives too long.

, the century of turmoil in the human world is just a short episode for them.

Moreover, the world of cultivation will not interfere with the change of kingship in the mortal world, and will even secretly help. After all, stability in the human world is also good for the world of cultivation.

So if he is the king of the Western Turks, then this incident can well explain why this man has this expression and why this magician has not been caught and can be at ease after so many years.

However, Li Ji knew very well that with his current state, he could not defeat this guy. Although the soul-stealing technique and the soul-stirring technique sounded similar, they were actually very different.

The soul-stealing technique also has a very sinister name, called soul sacrifice. When this technique first started, it was also popular in the Immortality Sect for a while.

This soul-stealing technique is not just as simple as its name. It is also a magic technique that can absorb the essence and blood of others to improve one's own cultivation. Moreover, it can improve the cultivator's cultivation very quickly. There is no need to be like Li Ji.

I practiced hard like this for decades.

It's just that this crazy cultivation method has a big drawback. Since it absorbs other people's essence and blood, it will naturally conflict with what is already in one's own body. This is fine for a short period of time, but over time, this

Practitioners will suffer backlash from their eyes, and in severe cases, they may become possessed and endanger their lives.

Moreover, swallowing other people's soul essence and blood to enhance one's own cultivation is something that no matter whether it is the righteous way or the devil's way, it is very taboo. This will impact the foundation of a sect, so the Immortality Cult immediately realized it after the initial joy.

At this point, the order was given to ban this magic.

Moreover, according to the records of the Sword Sect's classics, the fragments of this soul-stealing technique that were later circulated were modified by interested people, which was the blood sacrifice technique that Li Ji had seen.

The cultivation methods of the two are very similar, but the art of blood sacrifice is ultimately incomplete. Not only is it not as ruthless as the technique of stealing souls, but it is also not as powerful as the strength brought by the technique of stealing souls.

However, this is not what Li Ji wants to think about now. He now also wants to understand why the other party is so persistent in asking whether he is a cultivator.

You must know that the essence and blood of this cultivator is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Even if he is a mortal who has practiced martial arts for thirty years, he cannot compare with a cultivator who has practiced martial arts for one year. This is the gap.

So after Li Ji figured this out, he no longer hesitated. The spot under his feet suddenly turned into a burst of black dots, and he rushed out.

The moment Li Ji took action, the Western Turks' central tent suddenly let out a cry of surprise, but then they regained their composure, and the five people sent out to kill Li Ji seemed to have been ordered to behave.

The moment went back again.

Li Ji ran for more than ten miles in one breath before he dared to stop. In fact, he had never seen the other party and did not know the other party's strength, but out of caution, he ran anyway.
