Chapter 67: Calamity of No Cause

  This person changed his face in an instant, and Fang Li hadn't even reacted yet.

  "Master, please calm down. Disciple and Master Liu's sister are just acquaintances, and this time I came to find her indeed has something to do with it, and there is no other intention." Fang Li replied respectfully.

  "Master!" Xuan Xianzi's face turned even darker, and despite Fang Li's respectful attitude, he continued to press for an answer: "Is it just a mere acquaintance? Then why would there be an urgent matter to find her? Speak! If you dare to deceive me, don't think about leaving Yuzhu Peak today!"

  Fang Li's eyes widened in shock, wondering who he had offended or provoked. He had only come to find Liu Caiyu to ask for an antidote, yet he was caught by a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator!

  Although he was angry in his heart, Fang Li did not dare to show it. This person may look beautiful, but if she wants to kill herself, it's as simple as killing an ant. And looking at her current appearance, she is definitely not a kind-hearted person.

  "Master... if you don't believe me, you can call out Shifu to verify the truth. Besides, Master, if you think I'm a bad person, then no matter how much I explain, it won't be of any use." Fang Li lowered his head, but his words lacked a hint of respect.

  "Hmph, my disciple is currently in seclusion, how dare you disturb him? However, I'll believe you this once. Today, I won't make things difficult for you either. Before I change my mind, hurry up and get out of Jade Bamboo Peak!" Xuan Xianzi said coldly, her attitude not as vicious as before.

  Get out of Yuzhu Peak? To be honest, Fang Li didn't want to stay either, but the one-month deadline was approaching. If he left now, he would likely die from poisoning soon and perish outside. At least before seeing Liu Caiyu, he couldn't leave, otherwise there would only be a dead end.

  Jian Fang Li stood there motionless, and Xuan Yun Xian Zi was truly enraged this time. When did even a small junior dare to disobey her orders? Suddenly, she shouted in anger: "Why haven't you left yet? Do you think I don't dare kill you?"

  At this time, Xuanluo Immortal's beautiful eyes were wide open, and her body's aura surged greatly, exerting immense pressure on Fang Li.

  Fang Li's heart also skipped a beat as she realized that Xianzi had already made up her mind to kill, and she hastily exclaimed: "Xianzi, listen to my explanation, disciple..."

  But before he could finish speaking, Xuan Xianzi had already lost his patience, and the precious sword at his waist did not even leave its scabbard as he directly thrust it towards Fang Li.

  Fang Li's face turned pale with fright, although Xuan Yun's sword would only hit the scabbard on his own body, but even so, it was still a disastrous outcome. Fang Li didn't think he could withstand a blow from a Golden Dan cultivator, not even a casual one.

  Was he going to die here today? Fang Li's mind flashed with several thoughts, including anger and unwillingness. What had he done to provoke someone, that they would resort to killing him at the drop of a hat?

  Fang Li Lian no longer bothered to resist, allowing her attacks to come. With only his Qi Refining stage cultivation, even if he tried to block, it would probably be like trying to stop a chariot with bare arms.

  At this moment, he thought of his mother and sister, as well as the clan leader and elder who had died for him... The disaster was unjust, and it was unbearable!

  "Spare him, Master! He's my brother!"

  Just as Xuan Xianzi's treasured sword was about to strike Fang Li, a worried voice suddenly rang out. This oriole-like voice was familiar to Fang Li; if it wasn't Liu Caiyu, then who could it be?

  Younger brother? Xuan Xianzi was taken aback, not daring to hesitate, and quickly sheathed her sword. If she were to kill the younger brother of her own disciple, how could they still face each other as master and apprentice in the future? She didn't know that Liu Caiyu had just deceived her.

  Although Xuan Xianzi put away the treasure sword, a part of the sword's momentum still struck Fang Li. Fang Li didn't stop for a moment, and with a miserable cry, he flew out, spitting out fresh blood that formed a bloody mist in mid-air.

  "Ah! Fang Li, are you okay?" Liu Caiyu saw him and suddenly cried out in surprise, immediately rushing to Fang Li's side and helping him up.

  Fang Li glanced at Liu Caiyu, not speaking. At this time, his internal organs were injured and it was not suitable for him to speak. He then wiped the blood from his mouth with difficulty and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

  "What's the relationship between them? He's surnamed Fang and you're surnamed Liu, how can they be siblings?" However, Xuan Xianzi didn't care about Fang Li's life or death, but instead had some doubts about his surname, and suddenly looked at Liu Caiyu with an unfavourable expression.

  "He's my sworn brother, Master, please save him quickly, he looks like he's about to die!" Liu Caiyu was getting anxious, although she hadn't known Fang Li for a long time, but after all, he was the only friend she had in Xuanyang Sword Sect, and besides, Fang Li had once stood up for her and taught Yan Chongli a lesson.

  Although the opponent was filled with murderous intent, Xuan Ling seemed to care for Liu Caiyu very much. Seeing her say this, he hesitated for a moment before taking out a bottle of elixir and tossing it in front of Fang Li, saying to Liu Caiyu: "Give you one hour's time, after an hour, he must go down the mountain."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Xianzi didn't stay any longer and disappeared with a whoosh in front of the two. From start to finish, she never looked at Fang Li straight in the eye, let alone apologize.

  Liu Caiyu picked up the medicine bottle from the ground, pulled out the stopper and sniffed it, delightedly saying: "It's Huolu Yangxue Dan, you quickly take it."

  "I do." Fang Li's eyes remained calm as he looked at her, but he didn't accept her kindness. With difficulty, he took out the Huo Luo Yang Xue Dan he had bought himself from his Qian Kun bag, poured out a pellet and swallowed it.

  Liu Caiyu felt that Fang Li's attitude was a bit strange. If she had been beaten like this by someone else, she would not have been so calm. She couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Did you... hurt your brain?"

  "No." Fang Li replied calmly, with no hint of what he was thinking in his mind.

  "Don't blame my master, she's actually very kind-hearted." Liu Caiyu knew that Fang Li must have been angry and couldn't help but speak up to try to placate him. But could such a reason really calm the anger in Fang Li's heart?

  He glanced at her and then looked away, still speaking calmly: "Mm, I know." Although he said so with his mouth, his heart was extremely bitter. It turned out that a cultivator's life was not worth much; if one's strength wasn't enough, they would be trampled like grass, and just now, if it weren't for Liu Caiyu appearing in time, he should already be dead. At the same time as feeling grateful to Liu Caiyu, Fang Li secretly made up his mind: he must quickly raise his cultivation level, and couldn't continue being a lamb to be slaughtered by anyone!

  Upon hearing Fang Li's words, Liu Caiyu suddenly became excited, "You also know? Then aren't you blaming my master anymore?"

  Fang Li took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, I don't blame her. Because this is the only answer I can give." What he said was true, a Golden Core cultivator was not someone he could afford to offend at his current level of power; any anger would have to be swallowed.

  Liu Caiyu was taken aback and worriedly said: "So you still resent her in your heart."

  "That's what you said, I never said that." Fang Li's voice was still calm, but Liu Caiyu could hear the suppressed anger inside.

  Liu Caiyu's heart was getting anxious, and she continued to persuade: "Actually, my master is really a good person, he just has a weird personality, don't blame him, okay?"

  "Uh-huh, I know." Fang Li replied calmly.

  Liu Caiyu flipped her eyes and was about to leave, but then turned back again.

  "Let's talk about something else, are you here to ask me for the antidote this time? I originally wanted to send it to you, but I forgot because I was closed for too long." Yuxi Yu said again.

  Fang Li looked at her and said solemnly: "Thank you."

  Liu Caiyu sighed, then took out a red pill from her bosom and handed it to Fang Li: "Looking at your current state, I won't give you the temporary antidote. Endure for a moment, I'll directly help you eliminate the Gu poison."

  Fang Li was stunned, with a bitter smile in his heart. It turned out that being beaten into serious injury for no reason also had its benefits. At least it could win the sympathy of others and let Liu Caiyu help him completely remove the Gu poison.

  Fang Li smiled self-deprecatingly and did not refuse Liu Caiyu's kindness, knowing that she was just speaking casually and had no ill intentions.

  "Take this pill, and within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, those parasites hiding in your body will be killed. The process might be a bit painful," said Liu Caiyu.

  Fang Li nodded, without hesitation, and directly swallowed the red pill. Just two breaths later, Fang Li's body had a reaction, and he could feel something wriggling around his internal organs. However, immediately after that, those parasites were no longer wriggling, but struggling, frantically struggling.

  Suddenly, Fang Li only felt a wave of cramping pain in his body, almost crying out loud. Fortunately, this feeling quickly subsided, otherwise Fang Li would have been fainted by the pain.

  Liu Caiyu saw this and immediately lightly tapped several parts of his body, and a few streams of true energy poured into Fang Li's body. Fang Li suddenly felt a wave of nausea, "Hua" sound, and actually started vomiting.

  Dadada, four big thumb-thick fat worms were spat out of Fang Li's mouth, mixed with gastric juice, very disgusting.

  Fang Li suddenly collapsed to the ground, unsure whether it was the effect of the red pill that hadn't worn off or if he had been nauseated by those four wasps. Fang Li continued to dry retch nonstop. At the same time, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had fainted.

  Fortunately, this annoying poison has finally been lifted.

  Fang Li's heart felt a bit relieved, and he immediately glanced at Liu Caiyu, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

  But at this moment, Liu Caiyu's face suddenly changed, and she squatted beside the four wasps, exclaiming: "It's not good! Only four wasps were killed, one is still missing!"

  "One is still missing!" Fang Li's eyes widened in shock, staring at Liu Caiyu. The Gu insect was absolutely not to be underestimated, if it wasn't completely eliminated, it would likely trigger a crazy backlash, and Fang Li didn't dare imagine what kind of harm his body would suffer!

  Liu Caiyu saw his appearance, stifled for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Little fart, I deceived you, there are only four wasps in total. Haha, look at your expression just now, your face turned white with fear, it's really laughable, haha..."

  Liu Caiyu laughed so hard she was gasping for breath, and tears were streaming down her face.

  My goodness, you're killing me! Fang Li looked at her holding her belly and laughing loudly, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. From the start, he shouldn't have agreed to take care of her; being with her for too long would definitely drive him crazy!

  Heaven will confer great office on this person, must first inspire their mind with worry, exhaust their muscles and bones with toil, starve their body with hunger, and harass them with every kind of distress...

  As he thought about it, Fang Li's heart felt much more at ease, and in the depths of his mind, he seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Way...
