Chapter 268: Walking into a Trap!
If possible, Liu Zimo didn't want to take this risk.
After all, Qiufeng Residence was the territory of the senior elders of the inner sect, filled with danger. If he wasn't careful, he could expose his true identity and be trapped there permanently.
Once his cultivation level was exposed, all the things he had done before would naturally be unable to be hidden.
At that time, the Book Pavilion's golden token on him, as well as the guardian of the Scripture Repository, might not be willing to continue protecting him.
However, Wu Kai's existence had already seriously threatened his life and safety. Liu Zimo had no choice but to take a risky move.
Otherwise, if Wu Kai managed to escape, he would never let him go!
Moreover, if Wu Kai ended up in Tang Ziyun's hands, a simple soul search would reveal that Wu Kai was not the murderer of Tang Dahai.
Then, the things he had said to Tang Ziyun before would definitely arouse her suspicion.
"So, no matter what, Wu Kai must die!"
Liu Zimo muttered in a low voice, his eyes filled with killing intent!
In fact, Tang Ziyun was also a great safety hazard to him, even more dangerous than Wu Kai.
It was just a pity that Tang Ziyun had a special identity and her strength was extremely powerful. Otherwise, Liu Zimo wouldn't mind dealing with her as well.
Liu Zimo took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
"Time waits for no one. Tonight is definitely the best opportunity to kill Wu Kai!"
"Otherwise, once Jichang Ming's cultivation level stabilizes and he wakes up from his meditation, it won't be so easy for him to enter Qiufeng Residence!"
Liu Zimo probed with his divine sense in all directions, confirming that no one was paying attention to his side, before he restrained his aura and flashed out of the menial hall.
"Hmm?"
"That person is..."
Just as he left the menial hall, Liu Zimo's expression froze as he looked up towards the halfway up the mountain, surprised.
He saw a somewhat familiar figure silently and swiftly approaching the menial hall from that direction.
"Wu Kai?!"
"He actually came out of Qiufeng Residence on his own?!"
"This is really... finding something without any effort!"
"Who could have expected that Wu Kai would be so foolish, daring to come out of Qiufeng Residence alone at this time!"
Liu Zimo couldn't help but curl his lips.
He didn't expect his luck to be so good.
Just as he was thinking of killing Wu Kai, Wu Kai actually walked into the trap on his own initiative and came to his doorstep!
"It seems that I must have provoked him quite a bit before!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to take such a big risk and come to find trouble with me outside of Qiufeng Residence overnight!"
Liu Zimo stood on the roof of the main hall of the menial hall, looking up at Wu Kai who was rushing towards him.
He knew that if Wu Kai came to the menial hall at this time, he definitely didn't have good intentions.
When they were at Qiufeng Residence before, Wu Kai had already shown a strong killing intent towards him.
If it wasn't for Jichang Ming's timely intervention, Wu Kai might have already made a move against him!
"Very well, it's even safer to kill him outside of Qiufeng Residence!"
Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes.
To be on the safe side and to dispel suspicion, he didn't wait for Wu Kai to arrive at the menial hall. He moved like lightning and directly pounced on Wu Kai!
As Wu Kai was speeding along, his figure suddenly paused, and he looked up in shock at Liu Zimo!
"You... you are..."
Obviously, he had recognized the person who was blocking him and had directly pulled him into the Spirit Consciousness domain.
"How is this possible?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"You are clearly a useless ordinary person with almost zero spiritual roots. How could you have such powerful cultivation strength?!"
Wu Kai seemed to have gone mad, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Liu Zimo knew very well what kind of spiritual aptitude he had, and he had personally confirmed it during the day!
According to reason, such an ordinary person with ordinary bones would never be able to achieve Qi Condensation and step into the path of immortality even if they practiced their whole life.
But what did he see now?
Liu Zimo not only stepped into the path of immortality, but also possessed a cultivation strength that could crush him.
Moreover, the aura emanating from Liu Zimo reminded Wu Kai of the pressure he felt in front of his master, as if it was the pressure of a Gold Core.
But the other party was only in his twenties!
How could he possess a cultivation aura similar to that of the Gold Core realm?!
This is so unscientific!
Wu Kai felt like he was going crazy, as his worldview and cultivation experience of the past hundred years were completely overturned!
At the same time, he knew that he was in real danger this time!
At this point, even if he was stupid, he could think of it.
Whether it was Wu Xuan, Tang Dahai, or Yue Zhixin who suddenly died the night before, they were probably all done by Liu Zimo in front of him!
Liu Zimo's appearance now, without any concealment, clearly indicated that he was here to kill and silence him!
At this moment, Wu Kai suddenly felt a deep regret, wishing to slap himself twice!
His master had reminded and even warned him more than once not to leave Autumn Maple Residence!
For this reason, his master even sent Yu Feng to guard him.
But he didn't listen to advice, acted recklessly, and secretly ran away from his master and junior sister!
As a result, he didn't fall into the hands of Tang Ziyao, but instead ended up under the feet of Liu Zimo, this "useless" servant!
Speaking of which, all of this was his own fault!
Liu Zimo watched as Wu Kai, who was completely under his control, and showed no intention of explaining anything to him.
Villains die from talking too much!
Although Liu Zimo didn't think of himself as an evil villain, he didn't have the annoying habit of talking too much.
When it was time to take action, he would never waste time talking nonsense with his opponent!
Therefore, as soon as he completely controlled Wu Kai, Liu Zimo mercilessly raised the butcher knife in his hand.
Swish!
A cold light flashed, and Wu Kai's head fell!
No vitality remained, his soul extinguished!
Wu Kai didn't even let out a scream, silently dying in the wilderness of the back mountain.
[Your good brother Wu Kai had a string of bad luck and misfortunes. You beheaded him with a sword, ending his life on the spot!]
['Heaven Thief' innate talent passive triggered, you inherited half of the remaining gifts from your good brother Wu Kai before his death. Azure Water Technique +5, Turtle Breath Dao Technique +10, Immortal cultivation +150, Divine Soul Origin +100, Sea of Knowledge Space +1000.]
[Your good brother Wu Kai has logged out, currently available binding targets (21/1000).]
At the same time as Wu Kai's death, Liu Zimo also heard the corresponding prompt in his ear.
A hundred and fifty years of immortal cultivation surged into his body, pushing Liu Zimo's cultivation strength several steps forward in an instant!
Swish!
With a thought, Liu Zimo collected Wu Kai's body and the blood that had just splattered on the ground into the [Eastern Pearl]!
After that, not daring to stay at the scene for a moment, Liu Zimo quickly returned to the servant hall and entered his No. 6 courtyard, pretending to sleep.
Meanwhile.
Autumn Maple Residence.
Ji Yufeng also discovered Wu Kai's disappearance. The young girl's expression changed dramatically, and she secretly thought, "Oh no!" She quickly flew to her father to report the situation.
However, Ji Changming, who was usually very alert, did not respond at all this time.
Ji Yufeng guessed that her father must be in a critical moment of breakthrough in seclusion, so she didn't dare to forcefully call out to him.
After a moment of thought, Ji Yufeng directly flew up on her sword and headed straight for the miscellaneous hall behind the mountain.
Based on her understanding of Wu Kai, there was a 90% chance that he had gone to find that unlucky Liu Zimo!
"A small impatience will ruin a great plan!"
"Wu Kai senior brother is really too impulsive. Is it necessary to take such a risk for a useless miscellaneous disciple?"
"Doesn't he fear offending the guardian or being ambushed by Tang Ziyin?"
As Ji Yufeng hurried along, her thoughts surged with disappointment towards Wu Kai.
If he couldn't even tolerate this bit of grievance and acted recklessly, what could he achieve in the future?
She could only hope that nothing would happen this time, otherwise even her father might not be able to save him!
Swish!
After a moment.
Ji Yufeng's figure flashed inside the miscellaneous hall.
"Where is Supervisor Xu? Come out and see me!"
Ji Yufeng directly transmitted her voice to summon the newly appointed supervisor of the miscellaneous hall, Xu Hong.
As an inner disciple and the daughter of the elder of the inner sect, Ji Yufeng's status was far above that of Xu Hong, the supervisor of the miscellaneous hall. Naturally, she had the qualifications to boss him around.
Whoosh!
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Hong's figure appeared instantly, and he appeared in front of Ji Yufeng with a flash!
"Outer disciple Xu Hong, greetings to Senior Sister Ji! May I ask what instructions Senior Sister has?"
Xu Hong bowed to Ji Yufeng, showing a respectful expression and tone.
Ji Yufeng nodded at him and directly asked, "Let me ask you, did you see Senior Brother Wu Kai just now?"
Xu Hong was taken aback, "Senior Brother Wu Kai? Wasn't he in seclusion at Autumn Maple Residence? When did he come to the miscellaneous hall?"
Ji Yufeng looked at Xu Hong dissatisfiedly.
Am I asking you, or are you asking me?
Or perhaps feeling that he misspoke, Xu Hong quickly bowed and replied, "Reporting to Senior Sister Ji, I haven't seen Senior Brother Wu Kai."
None at all?
There was no relaxation in Ji Yufeng's expression.
The more silent it was, the more murderous intent Senior Brother Wu Kai harbored.
At this time, it was possible that Liu Zimo had already met his end!
This was definitely not what Ji Yufeng wanted to see.
Although Liu Zimo's death was not a pity, there were still the guardians behind him.
Once Liu Zimo died at Wu Kai's hands, the Ji clan would inevitably be targeted and retaliated against by the guardians.
"Where does Liu Zimo live? Take me there quickly!"
Even if she realized that she might be too late, Ji Yufeng still didn't give up and ordered Xu Hong.
So it was for Liu Zimo!
Xu Hong understood in his heart and didn't say much. He directly led Ji Yufeng towards the sixth courtyard.
"Senior Sister Ji, this is Liu Zimo's residence. At this time, he should be resting inside!"
Standing in front of the gate of the sixth courtyard, Xu Hong respectfully reported to Ji Yufeng.
However, there was no intention to forcefully break in.
Liu Zimo is now an exclusive servant of the book pavilion, and he also has the Book Pavilion Gold Token on him. Xu Hong didn't dare to easily offend him!
Ji Yufeng was the same.
Standing in front of the gate of the sixth courtyard, there was also no intention to forcefully enter.
With a slight flicker in her eyes, Ji Yufeng quietly extended her divine sense and lightly swept through the rooms in the sixth courtyard.
She discovered that there was only Liu Zimo sleeping in one of the rooms.
But there was no trace of Wu Kai. No matter how Ji Yufeng investigated, she couldn't find the person she was looking for.
"He's not here?"
"Could it be that I guessed wrong and Senior Wu Kai didn't come to trouble Liu Zimo?"
Ji Yufeng raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"But if he didn't come to find Liu Zimo, where did he go?"
"Could it be... that in such a short time, Senior Wu Kai has already been captured by Tang Ziyuan?!"
Ji Yufeng didn't dare to think too much.
If Wu Kai fell into Tang Ziyuan's hands, it was probably already a matter of life and death.
During the day, Tang Ziyuan dared to slap Wu Kai three times in front of her father and other true transmission elders.
Now without the protection of many Gold Core elders, wouldn't Tang Ziyuan become even more reckless?
"Sister Ji, it seems that Junior Liu has already fallen asleep. Should I go wake him up and ask him some questions?"
Seeing Ji Yufeng standing there motionless, her expression constantly changing, Xu Hong timely asked.
"No need!" Ji Yufeng shook her head slightly. "Since Senior Wu didn't come, there's no need to disturb Junior Liu!"
"I'm leaving now, let's pretend I never came tonight!"
After instructing Xu Hong, Ji Yufeng flew up and quickly left.
Xu Hong responded and respectfully saw Ji Yufeng off.
Only after Ji Yufeng had gone far away did Xu Hong straighten up, feeling somewhat speechless.
"It's really inexplicable! What's the point of all this fuss in the middle of the night!"
After speaking, Xu Hong turned around and glanced at the gate of the sixth courtyard, shaking his head slightly, and quickly left.
When everyone had left, Liu Zimo, who had been lying on the bed pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes.
"Sure enough, the life and death of inner disciples is far less valued than that of true transmission disciples!"
Liu Zimo sighed softly in his heart.
Two nights ago, when he killed Yue Zhixin on the main peak of Qingyun, he was almost immediately detected and sensed by someone.
Moreover, a Gold Core elder directly sealed off the mountain to investigate, searching all five peaks of Qingyun.
And now?
After Wu Kai, the chief disciple of the Cui Zhu Peak, was killed, it took so long for only one inner disciple to come looking for him.
Until now, no one knew that he had already perished.
"However, this is good news for me!"
"The longer the news of Wu Kai's death is concealed, the smaller the chance of me being discovered or suspected!"
"After all, who would believe that a mortal servant disciple with ordinary bones has the ability to kill an inner disciple who is about to advance to the true transmission?"
Thinking like this, Liu Zimo slowly closed his eyes again.
He had already made up his mind that no matter who came to investigate, he would pretend to know nothing.
With the Book Pavilion Gold Token, he believed that no one would dare to risk offending the guardian of the books and use severe torture or directly search his soul.
