Lin Xuan and Ji Ziyue looked up in surprise and saw a person of the same age wearing a black robe with gold trim slowly walking towards them..

"Who are you?"

Lin Xuan and Ji Ziyue asked in unison.

"My name is Shen Yangong. I have been observing you for a long time, including what you said..

”

As soon as Shen Yangong said this, Lin Xuan subconsciously pulled a certain distance away from Shen Yangong..

This fellow called Shen Yangong's background was unknown. Under the circumstances where he was not sure of his true identity, Lin Xuan felt that it was better for him to maintain a distance..

In this way, even if the other party suddenly attacked, he still had room to retreat and counterattack..

If he was not strong enough, he could still seize some opportunities to escape..

Shen Yangong saw the vigilance in Lin Xuan and Ji Ziyue's eyes and said,"Don't be so nervous.".

”

"I, Shen Yangong, was prepared to make a move when you wanted to forcefully kidnap Jiang Li..

”

At this point, Shen Yangong turned his head and looked at Lin Xuan." It's just that I didn't expect this little brother Lin Xuan to be one step faster than me..

”

"Chen Lei, the Chief Inspector of Yongning Prefecture, thought that he had done things without anyone knowing, but in fact, the current Emperor had already noticed some clues..

”

"This time, I, Shen Yangong, have been specially ordered to investigate this matter in Yongning State. I have already secretly gathered a lot of information about what Chen Lei did and have even found a lot of witness testimony. That Chen Lei is basically a dead man..

”

As soon as Shen Yangong said this, killing intent filled his entire body..

Even Lin Xuan, who was standing at the side, could not help but feel a chill run down his spine..

He couldn't sense the cultivation of this guy called Shen Yangong. Thinking carefully, Shen Yangong's strength should not be low..

Could it be another Nascent Soul cultivator?

Lin Xuan glanced at Shen Yangong with some trepidation..

"Then won't I die?"

Ji Ziyue was even more scared now..

Once this matter was exposed, he would definitely die..

Even if Chen Lei was the mastermind behind this, Ji Ziyue, as an accomplice, would probably spend the rest of his life in prison even if he was spared the death penalty..

Shen Yangong glanced at Ji Ziyue." You're afraid of death, aren't you?"

"Who isn't afraid?"

Ji Ziyue immediately rolled his eyes at Shen Yangong." I'm afraid. Aren't you afraid?"

Seeing that Shen Yangong didn't respond, Ji Ziyue tugged at Lin Xuan's sleeve again and asked," Lin Xuan, let me ask you. Are you afraid of death?"

"Me?"

Lin Xuanyi did not know what answer he should give to Ji Ziyue's sudden question..

After all, to a certain extent, Lin Xuan had already died once..

If Qing Yan hadn't saved him at the critical moment and taught him the Qing Emperor Sutra, he would have died the moment his Dantian was destroyed and thrown out of the sect by the Heavenly Profound Sect.

But Lin Xuan was silent for a while before nodding his head and saying,"I'm afraid of death too.".

”

"Right?"

Ji Ziyue turned to look at Shen Yangong again." Shen Yangong, don't tell me you're not afraid of death? Any normal cultivator would be afraid of death. If they're not afraid of death, why do they choose to cultivate? Isn't it good to live the rest of their lives safely?"

：.

Ji Ziyue's series of questions silenced Shen Yangong..

"Well, let's not talk about it.

”

Shen Yangong waved his hand and said,"Anyway, I have to go back and consult Chen Lei's book. Once this matter is exposed, Chen Lei will definitely reveal everything he knows in order to survive.".

”

Shen Yangong looked at Ji Ziyue deeply." I can only tell you one thing. Only the dead don't speak..

You're on your own..

”

Just as Shen Yangong was about to turn around and leave, Shen Yangong seemed to recall something. He turned around and said to Lin Xuan," Lin Xuan, I think your strength is not bad. You should also have the ability to fight above your level, right?"

"Well, a little..

Lin Xuan replied..

"Then we'll have a chance to spar again sometime in the future..

”

" This isn't good, right? You, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, beat me, a Core Formation Realm pinnacle cultivator. I haven't even broken through to the Golden Core Realm yet, and you want me to spar with you? If you want to beat me up, why don't you just say it clearly?"

"Haha.

”

Shen Yangong smiled and did not explain. He quickly left the scene..

After Shen Yangong left, Ji Ziyue remained standing there in a daze, his face pale..

When Shen Yangong insisted on participating in Chen Lei's book, Ji Ziyue knew that he was doomed in the end..

Looking at Ji Ziyue's stunned expression, Lin Xuan asked curiously," Ji Ziyue, what are you doing? Aren't you leaving here yet?"

"Whether I leave or not is meaningless to me, Ji Ziyue..

”

"The fortune-teller in Yongning Prefecture predicted that I, Ji Ziyue, would face this disaster. Although it can be resolved, there are still some variables that need to be changed if I want to have a chance of survival..

”

Ji Ziyue continued to say to Lin Xuan," I originally thought that you saved Jiang Li and beat me up. That should be my disaster. That's why I gave you those heaven-grade cultivation techniques and heaven-grade spears that I have without reservation..

”

"I didn't expect that in the end, I still couldn't escape this disaster..

”

Ji Ziyue lowered his head once more, his expression gloomy..

"If you want to talk about me, you really didn't understand what Shen Yangong said just now. Is that what Shen Yangong meant?"

" He already said that he was going to expose Chen Lei. Even if Chen Lei doesn't survive, he will definitely drag me down with him before he dies. He can't possibly kill Shen Yangong, right?"

" I feel that Shen Yangong's strength is at least above the Nascent Soul Stage. I can't beat him, but can you beat him?"

"I can't beat him either..

Lin Xuan smiled and waved his hand..

"Isn't that right? I can't hide anymore..

”

"Who said you couldn't hide?"

Lin Xuan patted Ji Ziyue's shoulder and asked," Ji Ziyue, think carefully about what Shen Yangong said before he left."

"Nothing else..

”

At this moment, Jiang Li, who had been maintaining her silence, finally couldn't stand it anymore..

She immediately took over Lin Xuan's words and said,"Shen Yangong said before he left that only the dead would not speak.".

”

Jiang Li looked up at Lin Xuan." Lin Xuan, that should be what you mean, right?"

"That's right..

”

Lin Xuan also felt puzzled at first because Shen Yangong had said this before he left and had even asked if he could fight above his level..

But he calmed down and thought for a while and understood Shen Yangong's intention..
