Lin Xi looked at Li Xingyan carefully, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Li Xingyan looked calm.
Such a look is a bit presumptuous and arrogant. If an ordinary monk is looked at like this, he will inevitably show anger.
But the old fox didn't show any signs of it, as if he didn't see it at all.
For a monk like him, patience and calmness seem to be engraved in his bones.
Not only that, facing Lin Xi's gaze, Li Xingyan let go of his own aura, and the source of thick and terrifying purple energy overflowed, dazzling even more than the light of the sun and the moon, even causing the laws of heaven and earth to hum and vibrate.
In Lin Xi's perception, it seemed as if there was a huge purple light group appearing in front of him, containing a mysterious world.
This feeling is not unfamiliar.
Because the sect leader could bring similar feelings to Lin Xi back then.
Lin Xi was extremely surprised.
This old fox... is only half a step away from becoming a saint.
With a mediocre appearance, he completed the supreme transformation. Not only did he become the first person to ascend in this era, but he also reached the ultimate sublimation and became a quasi-sage.
The current Li Xingyan is no weaker than Jiang Chen, who was not yet a saint at that time.
However, Jiang Chen was trapped in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, had extremely special adventures, rebuilt his own foundation, and finally completed such a transformation.
Li Xingyan was different. He had no chance encounters and relied solely on his own perseverance and will to achieve such sublimation.
"If this old fox can be used by me, it will indeed save a lot of trouble. Unless the saint comes out, Li Xingyan is almost invincible." Lin Xi pondered.
Moreover, it does not cost him much to exert the power of the ancient statue.
Li Xingyan was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Lin Xi's reply.
The little white dragon finally seemed to understand what was happening. A huge dragon head emerged from the spiritual spring, staring at all this with strange eyes.
Lin Xi said calmly: "But why do I need your power? I think you also know that after the master becomes a saint, the forces in the spiritual world will not dare to provoke us."
"But Jiang Chen is sleeping. You can't wake Jiang Chen up if something happens. As for the quasi-sage who committed suicide, you probably can't control him. Of the other people left in your Wenxin Society, no one is like me.
opponent." Li Xingyan said this.
He is very confident.
As a saint, he has no fear of anything.
Lin Xi had to admit that the other party spoke directly to her heart.
What Li Xingyan said is absolutely correct.
Except for the sect leader who had special adventures, the other ascended ones were cultivating steadily. Although their strength levels had improved very quickly, they were still far behind in the end.
Facing the truly top semi-saint monks, I lack some confidence.
After all, there is still not enough time.
With Li Xingyan, it can be guaranteed that Wen Xinhui will be fine for ten years without the saint.
"It seems that you have investigated Wenxinhui very clearly." Lin Xi said calmly.
Li Xingyan did not deny it: "I never do anything I'm not sure about."
Lin Xi snorted: "But why should I trust you? With your character, it's not impossible to turn around and leave if you encounter a crisis, and I can't do anything to you."
That's right, a cold-blooded person like Li Xingyan is not worthy of trust at all.
You can't count on him at the critical moment.
"If you are willing to help me become a saint, I can swear it with my Dao heart. If you are still not at ease, I can open my soul and let you set up restrictions, but you must also swear with your Dao heart not to break your promise." Li Xingyan said quickly.
He seemed to be ready for everything.
Guidao looked at Li Xingyan with a strange expression.
It was completely unexpected that an old fox like Li Xingyan would use the Tao Heart Oath to forcibly restrain himself. The price paid was indeed not small.
And by opening his soul, he almost completely put his life in Lin Xi's hands.
In order to become a saint, he was actually willing to go to this extent.
Lin Xi thought about it carefully and found no loopholes. She pondered for a long time. Although she felt a little unhappy in her heart, she still nodded and said: "This is indeed a reasonable deal."
"Then it's a deal." Li Xingyan showed a flat smile.
These remarks and even the ten-year deadline were determined by him after careful consideration.
So he was very confident that Lin Xi would not refuse.
As a result, Li Xingyan immediately made a great oath of Taoism and was willing to be driven by Lin Xi for ten years.
Then he opened his soul and let Lin Xi use it.
Lin Xi was not polite and directly used Gui Yuan's death energy to leave a terrible restriction. Once he detonated it, the death energy collided with the vitality in the quasi-saint's body, which was enough to destroy everything in Li Xingyan's body without any preparation.
Everything was completed very smoothly.
Li Xingyan was neither sad nor happy. He covered his figure again and turned into a purple shadow, falling behind Lin Xi.
From this moment on, he was Lin Xi's shadow.
Lin Xi lamented that she never thought that one day, this old fox would become her follower.
Xiao Bailong suddenly became excited: "In this case, can we send him to dig up these holy places? This way it has nothing to do with us."
Juidao's face was full of confusion.
Dig...Holy Ground?
What is this operation?
The purple shadow hanging behind Lin Xi froze slightly, and seemed confused. He had just become Lin Xi's "slave", was he about to become an enemy of the entire spiritual world?
Lin Xi said angrily: "Everyone knows that we have been digging the holy land recently. Do you think if someone else does it, everyone will be stupid enough to think that it has nothing to do with us?"
"..." Xiao Bailong thought for a while, then lowered his head helplessly and continued to blow bubbles.
With Li Xingyan as a trump card, Lin Xi was in a good mood.
Although it's a bit unaccustomed to have an extra shadow that follows you everywhere.
But he believes he will get used to it soon.
At this moment, he even had time to sympathize with Venerable Qinghu.
Because Venerable Qinghu must be very concerned about Li Xingyan, who is very close to becoming a saint, but Li Xingyan is obviously unwilling to accept the path of self-destruction.
Guidao calmed down at this moment and said softly: "I am here on behalf of the Palace of Hades this time."
"Oh?" Lin Xi frowned slightly, her original good mood suddenly disappeared, and her face slowly darkened: "What's going on in the Hades Palace?"
He has no problem with the treacherous knife.
But I have a lot of opinions about the Palace of Hades.
Although the cooperation was pleasant in the previous few times, the most important time was that the other party did not stop the man in gold, which led to many dead ends.
Although the man in golden robe had made preparations in advance, Lin Xi didn't think that he would not be able to contact him using the methods of Pluto Palace. Why didn't he inform himself?
When faced with a fatal situation, Lin Xi did not expect the Hades Palace to come to the rescue.
But the Palace of Hades locked up the Secret Knife.
This made Lin Xi very dissatisfied and angry.
Originally, he didn't even plan to trade with the Hades Palace anymore.
"I know you have resentment in your heart, but the Palace of Hades is not actually targeting you. They just don't want to get involved in matters involving saints," said Juidao.
Lin Xi shook his head: "Whether the Hades Palace is willing or not has nothing to do with me. I don't hate them, I just don't want any more deals."
Juidao was a little embarrassed: "You should listen first. In fact, Pluto Palace sincerely wants to cooperate this time, and it is not just a transaction."
"cooperate?"
Lin Xi didn't understand why she could cooperate with the Hades Palace.
Why do you, a killer organization, want me to cooperate with you?
"What does the Palace of Hades want to do?" Lin Xi frowned.
Juidao smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know very well. My mission is actually to bring someone to see you."
"Alone?" Lin Xi subconsciously turned to look at Li Xingyan.
Because only Li Xingyan came with the sneaky knife.
Li Xingyan shook his head, indicating that it was not him.
Because he doesn't know what the Pluto Palace has planned. He is just an elder who is a guest, and with his temperament, he will never come into contact with the affairs of the Pluto Palace.
"It's not Li Xingyan." Guidao exhaled a breath: "If you don't be too nervous, what happens next may make you react too radically."
Lin Xi nodded doubtfully.
Then, a shadow slowly condensed behind Guidao.
This shadow was as black as ink and as deep as the ultimate night. Just a glimpse of it, and it seemed that the whole person's mind was completely sucked away.
The aura emitted by this shadow is even more terrifying and vast, bottomless and cannot be looked directly at.
Lin Xi was shocked: "Saint!!!"
The little white dragon was so frightened that he immediately transformed into a huge body and was ready to yell for help at any time, but the strange thing was that everything around him seemed to be still.
No matter how much he yelled, he couldn't make any sound.
"Dao domain..." Lin Xi spoke with difficulty.
Yes, this is the realm of saints.
Once unfolded, the realm within the realm is the absolute realm of saints, and monks under the saints can be easily killed with just one thought.
Even Li Xingyan jumped greatly. He didn't expect that the sneak knife would bring a saint with him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xingyan decided to stand in front of Lin Xi, preparing to stop everything for him.
"Quite responsible." Such a thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
Juidao said hurriedly: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is the clone of the Lord of the Palace, and he will not take action against you!"
"Master of the Palace?" Lin Xi was shocked for a moment.
Sure enough, there are saints in the Hall of Hades.
Yes, otherwise the Hall of Hades would not be qualified to be called a place of pilgrimage for killers.
The ten halls of Yama are all peak semi-saints.
Naturally, only saints can suppress them.
It was also the first time for Li Xingyan to see the Master of the Hades Hall. He was extremely shocked and stared at the black shadow in front of him with vigilance, not daring to make any disrespectful move.
"Hello." A quiet voice came from the black shadow. It was cold and a bit lonely, making people feel like they were in a cemetery under the night.
What a strange feeling.
Lin Xi thought subconsciously.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this voice is clearly a woman's voice.
Lin Xi was shocked.
The mysterious and terrifying master of the Palace of Pluto who rules the assassin's palace has never taken action.
