Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

In the dark woods, dead leaves covered the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of decaying animals and plants.

Suddenly, a dim Shaoye's sword light lit up, and a figure wearing black matte armor and a helmet with a mask covering his face appeared in everyone's sight with the sword light.

"Master, be careful!"

The old man in gray reacted very quickly. While shouting loudly, he quickly activated his telepathy weapon.

The sound of "Qiang Qiang Qiang" sounded, a silver shield appeared in front of the young Ka Xiu body, and the next moment the sword light struck!

clang!

The silver shield appeared in time and blocked this sudden blow!

"Brothers!" Long before the sudden sword light appeared, the bald man emphasized to his brothers, "Remember! We are now performing a security mission, and the mission goal is to protect the safety of Master Kaxiu!"

Before the attack was successful, the masked man who appeared shouted loudly: "Don't do it yet!"

As the masked man finished speaking, the old man in gray and Card Xiu were shocked, "This masked man has an accomplice!"

"Do it?! Why do you do it?" The bald man on the side heard the masked man's voice and felt quite disdainful. "I am Master Kaxiu's loyal guard!"

"Perform a security mission!" The bald man first sent a message to his brothers, and then shouted loudly: "Protect Master Kaxiu!"

"That masked man's accomplice is him!" Hearing the voice of the bald man, the young man Ka Xiu and the old man in gray felt something bad.

The bald man is not only Yunxiao level, he also has eight adventurers under his command, all of whom are Sky level experts who have been fighting for a long time. If they are really accomplices, then they will be in trouble.

"Well done!" Seeing the bald man move, the masked man felt happy, his mission was about to be completed.

But the next scene caught him off guard, because the bald man did not kill the young card repairer, but rushed towards him!

The bald man shouted, and then he attacked the masked man with a knife and a shield, as if he was the most loyal guard of the young Ka Xiu.

Whoosh!

The bald man was charging at the masked man, his sword flashing, and his momentum was huge. At first glance, he was going all out!

"you!"

The masked man was furious. He didn't expect the bald man's reaction. He really didn't expect that a guy who was famous for his credibility would actually react at this critical moment!

"Go to hell!"

The bald man roared angrily, and struck the masked man hard with the sword in his hand.

Because he did not expect his accomplices to rebel, the masked man moved a little slower. At this moment, it was no longer realistic to dodge the attack. He had to take out the shield from the space ring and withstand the blow.

clang!

After using his shield to withstand the blow of the bald man, the masked man took advantage of the situation and retreated violently, trying to retreat.

"We can't tangle with them anymore. They have two Yunxiao-level people, and one of them is a spiritual master."

As the masked man retreated, he thought: "If I don't escape for a while, I will probably never escape. My identity cannot be exposed!"

"Come when you want and leave when you want?"

Seeing the masked man trying to escape, the old man in gray snorted, "It's not that easy!"

With a thought, the shield in front of Ka Xiu quickly decomposed, formed into a long sword and shot towards the masked man, and at the same time, he chased after him in a flash.

Before chasing him out, he sent a message to the young man Ka Xiu: "Master, you first seek shelter from the ascetic Mr. Li. If he is willing to shelter, no one can hurt you."

In the opinion of the old man in gray, the most unlikely accomplice of the masked man among everyone present was the ascetic Mr. Li.

Because he is the strongest among everyone present, if he wants to kill Master Kaxiu, he can do it directly, and no one else can stop him.

The somewhat panicked young man Ka Xiu, after hearing the message from the old man in gray, seemed to have a backbone and hurriedly approached Li Qi and said at the same time: "Mr. Li, help me."

Boo hoo hoo…

After hearing the rescue, Li Qi also took out more than a dozen small black swords and placed the young card in the center to show his attitude.

In his eyes, this young man was proof of his identity, and he couldn't let him die here like this.

On the other side, seeing the old man in gray chasing after him, the bald man shouted, "Protect Master Kaxiu!"

After saying that, he also chased after him, "You can't escape!"

"Mr. Li." Young Card Xiu asked via voice transmission: "Who do you think among these people is most likely to be the assassin's accomplice?"

"Heh." Li Qi smiled, "It depends on how you choose."

"How to choose?" Young Card Xiu was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"They all chose to protect you, and among them there may be associates of the assassin." Li Qi replied: "But if not, then your suspicious behavior will undoubtedly chill them. Sometimes deeds are more important than deeds."

Hearing this, the young man Ka Xiu was silent at first. After a moment, he nodded thoughtfully and said through a message: "I understand, thank you Mr. Li."

After a while, the old man in gray clothes and the bald man came back, and they also brought back the headless body of the masked man.

"Young Master." The old man in gray said: "This assassin is very powerful and will fight to the death. I didn't hold back my hand and blasted his head to pieces."

"It doesn't matter." Young Card Xiu shook his head slightly, and then he respectfully said to Li Qi: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your protection."

Li Qi put away more than a dozen small black swords and let the young card repairer leave freely.

"I'm sorry, Master Kaxiu." The bald man apologized, "I frightened you."

"It's okay. Thank you Mr. Dromik and everyone for your protection. Without you, the assassin might have succeeded." The young card cultivator said: "To thank you for your protection, I will increase your mission commissions when I return to Windyin City. Thirty percent!”

The bald man and others looked happy, "Thank you, Master Kaxiu."

They were originally the assassin's accomplices, but due to the appearance of the powerful ascetic Li, they had to give up the assassination mission. If they didn't want to betray him, they could get a 30% increase in mission commission, which was an unexpected surprise for them.

The old man in gray was surprised when he heard what young Card Xiu said. He had doubts about the bald man and thought that these nine adventurers were most likely the assassin's accomplices.

"Young Master..." The old man in gray had just transmitted his voice and wanted to express his suspicions, but was stopped.

"This matter will be settled according to my request." Young Card Xiu sent a message: "No matter what, they protected me just now. The purpose of my Meyers family is to repay kindness!"

Hearing this, the old man in gray stopped talking and felt quite emotional. He felt that the working styles of the young master and the head of the family were very similar at this moment, which surprised and surprised him.

"Ka Xiu." Li Qi suddenly said.

"Mr. Li, please speak."

"Can I have a look at the assassin's space ring?" Li Qi said, "I'm interested in his secret method of hiding his breath, and I want to see if there is such a secret method in his space ring." "It's a trivial matter." Young Kaxiu said : "Mr. Lu, could you please hand over the assassin's body to Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, please."

The old man in gray used his mental power to send the headless body of the masked man to Li Qi.

Using his mental power to take over the body of the masked man, Li Qi then scanned his body, and then removed a space ring from his body.

Because the masked man was dead and the spiritual imprint on the space ring had dissipated, he easily imprinted his own spiritual imprint on it.

Opening the space ring, he scanned it around and found that except for some weapons and armors, there were not many things in the space ring. They were all debris, including broken carapace, but there were no secrets.

Li Qi looked disappointed and said in a somewhat regretful tone: "There is no secret book in the space ring."

With that said, he erased the spiritual mark on the space ring and sent the masked man's headless body, together with the space ring, back to the old man in gray.

Seeing this, young Ka Xiu asked: "Mr. Li is interested in secret magic?"

"Yes." Li Qi nodded slightly, "I am very interested in secret techniques that I have never learned before. My ideal is to learn all the secret techniques in the Xueluo Continent, so I wander around."

"That's it." Young Card Xiu smiled forcefully, with a bit of envy in his eyes, "This ideal is great."

"Since Mr. Li is learning secret techniques, why doesn't the young master invite him to the family?" The old man in gray had an idea and said through a message: "There are many secret techniques in the family that can be made public."

"That's right!" Hearing this, the young card repair suddenly realized, and then said: "Mr. Li, why not come to my Meyers family as a guest? There are many public secrets in my family for Mr. Li to read."

"Oh." Hearing this, Li Qi looked moved, but said in his mouth: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"There is nothing inappropriate." Young Card Xiu advised: "If we can invite a powerful man like Mr. to be our guest, my father will definitely be willing to open up the secret method for Mr. to read."

"In that case." Li Qi said reluctantly, "Then I won't bother you."

"Then go back as soon as possible." Young Card Xiu said with a smile: "This way, sir, you can read the secret method earlier."

He was very happy to successfully invite Mr. Li to the family as a guest. This was not only because of his strong strength, but also because the ascetics traveled to many worlds inside. He wanted to know what the world outside Fengyin City was like. of.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded slightly in approval.

At the same time, he was a little happy. He had successfully deepened everyone's understanding of Mr. Li's character as an ascetic, and he had also become a guest of the Cardiff family, which lowered the probability of his identity being exposed.

The old man in gray put the headless corpse of the masked man into a space ring, and then everyone continued to fly in the direction of Fengyin City.

…

On the way back to Fengyin City, the old man in gray frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.

He found two things from the masked man's body and the space ring, which gave him a rather familiar feeling, as if he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn't quite remember them.

After flying for a while, the old man in gray suddenly said: "I know!"

"ah?"

The young man Ka Xiu in the center of the crowd looked confused. He didn't hear what the old man in gray meant.

"Young Master." The old man in gray explained via voice transmission: "I know the identity of the assassin."

"What's your identity?" Young Card Xiu asked.

"Judging from the two items I obtained, the identity of the assassin may be..." The old man in gray said: "A member of the Abate family!"

"The Abate family?" Young Card Xiu felt very familiar, and then suddenly said in shock: "This is not..."

"Mrs. Hilubetti's..." The old man in gray said in a dull tone: "My mother's family!"

"This assassin is from the Abate family?" Young Card Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

"There is no conclusive evidence to prove that the assassin is a member of the Abate family." The old man in gray said: "But judging from the items and motives on his body, it is very likely that he is a member of the Abate family."

"Motive?" Young Card Xiu was puzzled, "What motive does the Abbate family have to assassinate me?"

"It didn't happen before." The old man in gray explained, "But it's been different recently."

"The head of the family is extremely talented and may go to Cloud Bay World City for training in the near future. In order to avoid any problems during his absence, the head of the family has the idea of ​​making Mrs. Xilu Betty his main wife."

Young Ka Xiu's pupils shrank, "My real wife?!"

As his father's only legitimate son, he certainly understands what it means for Mrs. Silubetti to become the head wife. This means that his two younger brothers will also become legitimate sons and have the qualifications to inherit the family and father's connections!

Although his father is not the Lord of Fengyin City, his power may not be much less than that of the Lord of Fengyin City.

Because his father has a world-class teacher, and this teacher happens to be the city lord of Yunwan World City, which governs Fengyin Territory!

"I understand." Young Card Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "The Abbate family wants to kill me so that my father can make up his mind to make Mrs. Hilubetti his wife, and at the same time make my two younger brothers the heirs of the family!"

"That's right." The old man in gray said.

"Mr. Lu, why didn't you tell me such an important thing?" Young Card Xiu asked.

"The head of the family just had this idea, but he didn't implement it considering the death of his mistress." Hearing this, the old man in gray sighed: "That's why I didn't tell you, but I don't know why the news leaked."

"We must return to Fengyin City as soon as possible. It is very unsafe outside the city." Young Card Xiu sent a message: "If the Abate family can attack once, they can attack a second time."

"A second move?" The expression of the old man in gray changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered the broken carapace in the masked man's space ring.

"No! There is a double-sided turtle shell in the assassin's space ring!" He exclaimed, "His accomplices must know that he is dead, and maybe they are waiting for us!"

"What!" When everyone heard this, their expressions changed!

The double-faced turtle is a weak wild beast in the Xueluo Continent. Although it is only at the earth level, it has special abilities.

It has two turtle shells. Unless it is attacked beyond its limit, the outer shell will not break. However, the more fragile inner shell is connected to the outer shell. If the inner shell is broken, the outer shell will also be broken.

Such characteristics have led the people of the Xueluo Continent to make special instruments to verify a person's life and death.

After a long flight, they were almost leaving the outer forest of the Lianyun Mountains, and they could see the strong sunlight coming from outside the forest.

Everyone flew out of the forest and stopped immediately, because what was waiting for them outside the forest was not the bright and warm sunshine, but the evil thoughts and murderous intent coming towards them!
