Chapter 104: Chapter 85: Chasing Xiao Meier_2

The rainbow light headed straight in his direction, clearly indicating that the newcomer’s target was himself.

He immediately stopped and landed on an open space, looking up at what was ahead.

As the tunneling light approached to within a hundred meters of Lu Li, a woman dressed in purple palace attire came to a halt, slowly descending onto a hillside. The breeze stirred her black hair, and she exuded an extraordinary aura, with a natural seductive air about her.

It was Xiao Meier, whom he had encountered before.

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled in his heart. This person had clearly sought him out deliberately, and there was bad blood between them–they were certainly not old friends.

He stood quietly in place, waiting.

At that moment, Xiao Meier, seeing the man in front of her, felt a burst of joy in her heart; she had finally managed to find him after much effort.

The Demon Seed within the depths of her mind could still sense a familiar aura and began to beat wildly.

She did her best to suppress the invasion of the Demon Seed and with a charming smile on her face, she spoke in an extremely alluring tone, “Fellow Daoist, you have indeed made it quite difficult for this humble woman to find you.”

“Today, I have specially sought you out to propose a trade.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Li’s expression turned cold. He had a good grasp of just how nefarious this woman was and had no desire to engage in any trade with her.

“No need, I have nothing that requires trading, and we are not familiar with each other.”

Xiao Meier, seeing Lu Li’s icy demeanor, immediately revealed a hint of pitiful sorrow, evoking a sense of sympathy from anyone who laid eyes on her.

“Fellow Daoist has also come here for that Divine Skill, haven’t you? I know some information, and can trade anything else…”

Lu Li’s interest was piqued when he heard that the other party had information about that Divine Skill.

“What do you wish to obtain from me?”

He glanced at her, speaking in a very calm tone.

Xiao Meier’s heart leaped with joy upon seeing this; it seemed that she had guessed correctly that his purpose was indeed for that Divine Skill.

“I only need a drop of your Essence Blood.”

She said cautiously, her eyes wandering over Lu Li’s face, her expression somewhat worried.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li’s heart chilled instantly, and he responded frostily, “If you cannot provide a good reason today, you might not leave this place.”

The Essence Blood of a Cultivator is extremely precious. If it were to fall into the wrong hands, it could be exceedingly dangerous, with some tracking spells and curses being almost impossible to defend against.

No matter what she offered, he would never agree to a trade involving his Essence Blood.

Xiao Meier, seeing Lu Li flatly refuse without leaving any room for negotiation, couldn’t help but show a bitter expression.

“Do you remember the anomaly we encountered at sea? I have been backfired by my Cultivation Technique and need your Essence Blood to break the spell… ”

“If you agree, I am willing to become your Daoist Couple. I still have the body of Primordial Yin…”

Having spoken, she looked at Lu Li with a bashful gaze, seemingly afraid of his refusal, blatantly mentioning her virginity without hesitation.

Xiao Meier played her biggest card.

“This man has top-notch potential and strength. If I can become his Daoist Couple and draw him into the Demon Sect, it would be a great deed…”

She thought to herself, even having fantasies about their future life together, a slight smile appearing on her face.

“I’m afraid I’m not so fortunate to accept such an offer.”

Lu Li rejected Xiao Meier’s proposal without any hesitation.

This woman was extremely treacherous, and for a moment, he had considered enslaving her as an inside agent for the Demon Sect; but upon further contemplation, he realized there were complications.

Not to mention whether it would be successful, even if there was progress, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t be discovered by a Golden Core Venerable of the Demon Sect, which could lead to being directly traced and result in extremely dangerous consequences.

This woman was trouble that should not be meddled with, and only by eliminating her could he truly rest easy.

He made this decision in his heart in that instant.

Xiao Meier, upon hearing his words, was immediately stunned. She hadn’t expected that there would be a Cultivator who completely disregarded her beauty.

In the outer seas of the Dragonfall Ocean, there were countless Qi Refining Disciples from the Four Great Demon Sects pursuing her, and even some Foundation Establishment Cultivators had openly expressed their desire to take her as a concubine. If not for her status as the topmost among the True Disciples, she would likely have been taken by force long ago.

“Then I shall take my leave first.”

Xiao Meier knew this man’s determination was steadfast, far surpassing ordinary people. Since the matter was now beyond possibility, she could only plan for another opportunity in the future.

“Leave? This place is beautiful with verdant trees, truly a feng shui treasure land that suits the status of a Demon Sect beauty…”

Lu Li gave a cold smile, and in an instant, Aminokaze flew out, spurred by his full mana to spew forth a terrifying sword light, heading toward Xiao Meier as swiftly as thunder.

“Hehe… Even refusing a shared pillow by your side, but now you actually want to kill Meier, truly you are a heartless one.”

With a coquettish laugh, Xiao Meier was already prepared and promptly retreated backward.

Then her entire body flashed with blood light, enveloping her figure before she darted backward like lightning, disappearing miles away within a few breaths.

Aminokaze struck nothing but air, and Lu Li quickly chased after her with tunneling light.

This woman had made his kill list, and this time, nothing would deter him from his resolve to eliminate her.

Lu Li immediately activated a drop of his essence blood, igniting Blood Jutsu as well, and his speed suddenly increased substantially.

Moments later, he was not far behind Xiao Meier.

Seeing this, Xiao Meier was scared out of her wits.

“Fellow Daoist, why must you pursue me so relentlessly, expending essence blood just to kill me, do we really have such a profound grudge?”

“How about letting me go peacefully, and we call it quits?”

Lu Li sneered and continued pursuing without paying any heed to her, his body speeding forward.

His body contained a terrifying amount of essence blood–ninety-nine drops coursing deep within his heart chamber, already at the physical limits, extremely astonishing.

The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, raced through the vast Forest Sea. Numerous flying insects and beasts scattered in fright, and other cultivators who saw their tunneling light avoided them from afar.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, both had nearly exhausted a drop of essence blood.

Now, Xiao Meier’s complexion was somewhat pale, revealing a few more hints of pitiful charm.

Realizing that Lu Li was firmly on her trail, she became somewhat desperate.

“This man is truly as resolute as a rock; I never should have rashly made contact with him.”

With a hardened resolve, she once more stimulated a drop of essence blood, speeding ahead with a significant increase.

Lu Li laughed and stimulated his mana to the full, following her leisurely without igniting the Blood Jutsu again.

Continuously activating essence blood damages one’s own source, and this drop of essence blood would take nearly half a month to recover.

He was curious to see just how many drops of essence blood this woman could activate.

Once more, the two launched into a chase, becoming like two fleeting beauties in the vast Forest Sea.

…

Not far from the two, four true disciples of the Demon Path were gathered.

Luo Kuiyu and Lu Qingyang were among them, eyeing each other with animosity, their gazes flashing with a cold light.

Ever since Lu Qingyang had fled alone last time, causing Luo Kuiyu to suffer a huge loss at the hands of a mysterious man, he had utterly despised Lu Qingyang.

At this moment, a young man with a withered face said, “Everyone understands the mission given by our sect this time, right? Besides that Divine Skill, we must try to eliminate as many of those hypocrites who claim to be the righteous path as possible.”

“As long as we can get rid of Jiang Taixu and his group, the righteous path will fall into a period of decline for the next several decades.”

The man was slender and spoke with a very hoarse voice; he was Wei Yunsheng, the number one true disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect.

His strength was second only to the Heavenly Demon Prince, the strongest among the four.

The other three nodded upon hearing this: “Let us quickly move to the core area to meet with the Heavenly Demon Prince, Jiang Taixu is not to be underestimated either.”

Just as they were preparing to leave, intense mana fluctuations suddenly came from ahead.

“There’s a powerful being coming!”

Everyone felt a shiver in their hearts as they looked up to see two tunneling lights, one purple and one blue, swiftly approaching. In front, a beautiful woman with a pale face looked extremely panicked; a strange man was closely pursuing her with a very intimidating presence.

“It’s Xiao Meier from the Yin Yang Demon Sect.”

The identity of the fleeing woman was recognized at a glance by the group, as her reputation was well known in the nearby Demon Sects.

The other three looked at Wei Yunsheng with an odd expression, knowing his crazed pursuit of Xiao Meier.

However, Xiao Meier had always been indifferent to him and even publicly declared that Wei Yunsheng was too ugly to match her.

Now that the beauty was in distress, it remained to be seen how Wei Yunsheng would choose.
