C317 Get Rid of the Suspicion
Lee Shaoyu remembered that it was clearly noon just now. Why did it suddenly turn out like this? The entire forest was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun. Moreover, the setting sun did not move at all. Even though it had been a long time, it still hung there.
Lee Shaoyu released the Soul Power. He discovered that there was a mysterious force that was interfering with and devouring his Soul Power. It was impossible for it to reach ten meters away from his body. Even within this ten meter radius, his spiritual perception was extremely chaotic.
This was precisely the reason why the Setting Sun Forest got its name! "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every Cultivator that went deep into the Setting Sun Forest would be lost in the forest because of this. Some people spent their entire lives but were unable to walk out of this forest!
The wind wings on Lee Shaoyu's back spread open and directly rose into the sky. The scene in front of him was even more shocking. Looking around, the surroundings were full of red trees and white fog. One could not see the end of it at a glance!
"City Lord, we seem to have lost our way."
Lee Shaoyu lowered his body and said to Xue Wanqian.
"Don't be nervous. This is a normal phenomenon in the depths of the Sunset Forest. It won't be able to trap us."
Xue Wanqian took out a pure white beast bone from his chest. The beast bone emitted a weak light in one direction, as if it was guiding him in his direction. He walked in that direction, and Lee Shaoyu followed closely behind.
"Shaoyu, you should know the real reason why we attacked Black Wind Mountain this time, right?"
Xue Wanqian walked slowly in front, pretending to be careless as he spoke to Lee Shaoyu.
"I heard it from Big Brother Xu Gui. I think it was because Kong Xiangwu robbed the city lord's Air Breaking Pill. Kong Xiangwu is truly audacious to the point that he deserved to die. He even dared to attack the city lord."
What was supposed to come had indeed come. However, Lee Shaoyu had already thought of a countermeasure. After pondering for a moment, he started cursing Kong Xiangwu's crimes, trying his best to attract as much trouble as possible to Kong Xiangwu.
"I heard from Xu Gui that you and Ling Feng were already there before Kong Xiangwu arrived at the Black Wind Mountain's treasure vault. Is that true?"
Xue Wanqian asked in a low voice.
"Nothing can hide from the eyes of the city lord. Commander Ling and I did discover the treasure vault of Black Wind Mountain first and plundered some Spirit Materialss. The two of us did not play a good role in this. Please punish us, city lord."
This was Lee Shaoyu's second move. He had admitted his mistake and made the first move. This way, Xue Wanqian would not suspect that he had taken the medicinal Xue Wanqians. At most, he would think that he had taken some rare medicinal Air Breaking Pills.
"All of you have rendered meritorious service in killing the enemy. It's normal for you to strike first after finding the treasure vault. Why would I blame all of you? I just wanted to ask if the two of you have found any special items."
Xue Wanqian obviously did not expect Lee Shaoyu to admit it so quickly. He smiled and said.
"We didn't find anything special in the treasure vault, but I found a simple and exquisite wooden box in the space behind the secret door. Kong Xiangwu was holding it at that time, and his injuries were showing signs of recovering. After seeing me go in and launch an attack on me, I hastily used a life-saving treasure given to me by a Air-breaking Stage senior to survive, but I still ended up like this."
Lee Shaoyu said with a sigh. He had thought about this for a long time before he was ready to say it. There was an eighty percent truth in this sentence, and only twenty percent of it was a lie. Only this way could he lie to Xue Wanqian, this old fox.
"Nanmu box! So that's how it is..."
Xue Wanqian's body trembled when he heard the words "Nanmu box." He stopped in his tracks. His gaze gradually shifted to Lee Shaoyu, as if he was thinking about something. Lee Shaoyu knew he was thinking about the credibility of his words. Lee Shaoyu was very calm because his words were logical. If he had entered the space behind the secret door a little later, what he said would have been the truth.
"It seems like everything is the will of heaven. The box in Nanmu box contains Air Breaking Pill. It seems like Kong Xiangwu planned to keep it until he advanced. It's just that our attack forced him to take it in advance."
After a long time, Xue Wanqian sighed and said. He naturally had his own judgment. There was no flaw in Lee Shaoyu's words. There was no reason for him not to believe it. Naturally, Lee Shaoyu could guess the result as well. What he said was basically the truth. He had only omitted some of the interlude. Xue Wanqian's degree of belief was very high.
"Shaoyu, it's not that I'm overly suspicious. It's because Lee Shaoyus are too important to me. " And you're the last person to come into contact with Kong Xiangwu. Can you remove the bindings of your Storage Ring and let me take a look? Perhaps Kong Xiangwu has hidden the Air Breaking Pill somewhere else, but you don't know it. "
Finally, Xue Wanqian turned around and looked at Lee Shaoyu with a deep voice. One step to shatter space was the medicinal Mighty. Xue Wanqian was not willing to let go of any opportunity.
"This..."
Lee Shaoyu revealed a troubled expression. He was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry. I won't touch anything of yours."
Xue Wanqian took a step forward and stretched out his palm. Because of Lee Shaoyu's hesitation, he had a strong suspicion. Killing intent was flowing in his eyes.
"Alright, but I hope the city lord can keep it a secret after seeing it."
Lee Shaoyu helplessly agreed. He removed the bindings of the Storage Rings and handed them all to Xue Wanqian. Xue Wanqian checked them one by one. When he saw the last one, his expression changed slightly. Then, he handed all the Storage Rings back to Lee Shaoyu.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. Don't worry, I will keep this secret for you."
Xue Wanqian gently patted Lee Shaoyu's arm, then turned around and walked into the thick fog.
"Thank you, City Lord."
Lee Shaoyu revealed an awkward expression, then followed closely behind. However, he was secretly delighted in his heart. He had passed this trial, and his arrangements should have been effective. This time, Xue Wanqian's doubts about him had almost been dispelled, but he did not dare to say that he had completely dispelled them.
Xue Wanqian did not speak along the way. He continued to move forward according to the guidance of the beast bone. Lee Shaoyu quietly lowered his head and followed. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
"Shaoyu, I was too rash. I should not have looked at your Storage Ring. But don't worry, I will definitely keep your secret. Don't feel any burden in your heart."
After a long time, Xue Wanqian took the initiative to speak to Lee Shaoyu.
"Yes, City Lord. You don't have to say anything else. In fact, what you saw was just an illusion. These things are not mine. They were left here by someone else."
Lee Shaoyu pretended to be in a panic. Then, he took out women's clothes and underwear from his Storage Ring and threw them on the ground. Flames ignited on his palm and lit up a pile of clothes. Lee Shaoyu's face turned red.
"Oh, so that's the case. I know."
Xue Wanqian pretended to be enlightened and did not continue to dwell on this topic. However, he was very regretful in his heart. He thought that he had accidentally broken Lee Shaoyu's secret. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. However, it was also because of this that Xue Wanqian thought that Lee Shaoyu did not make any preparations beforehand. His sudden attack had achieved results. He had completely eliminated any doubts about Lee Shaoyu.
After walking in the fog for about half an hour, Lee Shaoyu suddenly felt his eyes brighten. Strange trees that he had never seen before appeared in front of him. The warm sunlight shone again. The two of them finally walked out of the fog and arrived at the deep region of the Sunset Forest.
Facing the legendary forbidden area, The so-called forbidden area was different from what he had imagined. The so-called forbidden area was like a paradise in the mortal world. The scene in front of him could be said to be extremely beautiful.
