Investment System In Xianxia World Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Are You Afraid to Show Yourself?

"How did you find me?" Instead of being surprised, Chu Lingyue asked with thirty percent vigilance and seventy percent fear when she saw the group of fierce riders.

The little girl choose to just stood there, without choosing to escape

She knew that, with her ordinary mortal strength, she could not escape from the hands of these elite warriors.

"Although the world is vast, it is not difficult for the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty to find someone if they choose to do so," the leader in armor said in a low voice.

"Is that so..." Chu Lingyue's mouth twitched with bitterness.

She looked at the leader in front of her and asked in a whisper, "What about my mother?"

"Your Highness, the Queen has passed away just fifteen minutes ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Lingyue's body suddenly stiffened. Bright mist rose in her eyes, and the Lingzhi grass she had been holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground.

In Panshi City, thousands of miles away, Li Xun sat on the Spirit Boat, holding a ring he had received from Treasure  Pavilion. This ring was a gift from Treasure  Pavilion, and it contained everything he had purchased from the pavilion.

Individually, the items inside were not very valuable, but the sheer quantity was impressive. As soon as he left the pavilion, he gained five potential investors. Unfortunately, these investors didn't give him much in the way of rewards. The most generous one only gave him a yellow-ranked upper-level technique, which he could sell for a few top-grade spirit stones at most.

Li Xun speculated that the investment from the system might be related to the cultivator's strength, luck, and other factors, and that Panshi City was simply too small with low overall strength. However, he would need to experiment more before he could draw any conclusions.

He had only invested in the strongest cultivator, Shen Yuluoyan, so far, but even she was only a white-level investment and therefore not very helpful in determining the system's investment strategy.

As Li Xun was about to start cultivating, the other ring in his hand suddenly vibrated. Confused, he used his spiritual sense to examine it closely. This was the ring left behind by Liu Sandao, containing only two items: Liu Sandao's corpse and the blood-red pearl he had left behind.

At the moment.

For some unknown reason, the red bead suddenly began to flicker, and a crimson glow enveloped the entire storage ring, as if it had turned into a sea of blood, very eerie.

"How strange."

Li Xun was a bit puzzled, he had never seen such a strange phenomenon before.

Turning his palm over, he took out the Blood Spirit Bead.

"What's the matter with this thing? Why do I have a bad feeling about it?"

Li Xun studied it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Originally, he planned to take it back to the sect and exchange it for some spirit stones or something, but now his uneasy feeling grew stronger and his intuition told him that this thing definitely had other uses.

Such as...

Locating other people or items!

In the fantasy world, there were too many strange things that for some reason are able to exist, this bead in front of him was very special and he couldn't guarantee that it hadn't been marked by someone.

What if it was really as he suspected, that he had been monitored by someone all the way?

Thinking of this, Li Xun reached out his hand to throw it away, but at the last second, his action suddenly stopped.

Because, In front of him, in the void, stood a thin, red-robed old man, with his hands behind his back, blocking his path.

"Sure enough, the worst outcome has come."

Li Xun glanced at the old man, then looked at the red bead in his hand, and his mood sank to the bottom.

He clenched his five fingers, and with a bang, the red bead shattered into powder, and a cry of agony came out, then it completely disappeared.

Just as Li Xun crushed the Blood Spirit Bead, the old man, who had been standing still, his face turned dark became extremely ugly, his eyes fixed on the approaching Spirit Boat.

"How daring of you!!"

The hoarse voice that came out of the old man was like thunder, shaking the void for dozens of miles.

The old man in the red robe looked fierce, and the killing intent around him almost solidified. He had only slaughtered a few towns on his way here, making his trip a little delayed

What he didn't expect was that his disciple had died in that little delay of time!

The person who killed his disciple was right in front of him, the other party also crushed his disciple's blood spirit bead, it’s clearly a provocation to him.

After all, if the other party really wants to crush the bead simply just because, he can do it earlier or later, and yet, he chose to do it right in front of him, it’s clearly intentional.

“Has the Xuan Yang Sect gone to such great lengths just to kill my disciple?" The red-robed old man spoke in a cold voice.

He could tell from the flying spirit boat that came from afar that it was a flying magical treasure. He couldn't be sure what level of magical treasure it was, but he was certain of one thing.

That is, a person who possesses a flying magical treasure, even within the Xuan Yang Sect, is not an ordinary person.

At the very least, they must be a core disciple, or even a Xuan Yang Sect elder!

If it was a core disciple, the old man was confident that he could confront the other party, but if it was a Xuan Yang Sect elder, the red-robed old man had already prepared himself to escape.

"Hiding and not daring to show yourself? Are you afraid to face me?"

The old man shouted again.

"Buzz!"

An explosion rang out, shaking the void.

Li Xun did not respond with words, instead, a bright silver spear responded on his behalf. The spear light was stunning, piercing through the sky, its brilliance shining, its murderous aura filling the wild.

With a loud bang, the silver spear crossed hundreds of meters, like a pillar of the sky, and fell from the spirit boat, rushing towards the red-robed old man.
