Chapter 1007: Abandoned Pawn In The Formation (II)
Once this thought took shape, all the Si Family’s strange actions finally made sense. Yet instead of feeling relief at his sudden understanding, he only felt a bottomless chill.
The thought vanished as quickly as it came. The youth shivered, feeling a chill on his neck, and instinctively touched his throat. Chi Buhua caught him and immediately asked, "What is it?"
What is it? Of course it's to see if my head is still attached... Li Yuanqin cursed inwardly, half afraid that some talisman light might streak over and take his head in an instant.
Outwardly, he only smiled gently as he said, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I only feel it is a bit cold here."
"Cold..." Chi Buhua laughed heartily, suddenly realizing, and sighed. "The Dragon King of the Reef Sea cultivates the Cold Essence Dao, turning the seabed into a crystalline grotto heaven. It’s naturally a bit cold here. If you fly further ahead, you might even see some icebergs!"
He turned back in a kindly manner, glanced at the people on either side, and said with a smile, "See that? I forgot that Yuanqin is still a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, whereas we Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators naturally feel nothing. That was my oversight!"
Within the grand formation, Chi Zhihu was besieging Li Xizhi, intending to frame him for murder. Li Yuanqin’s testimony would be indispensable, and Chi Buhua kept that in mind, Li Yuanqin is, after all, Li Xizhi’s family uncle. He's a key figure. Even if I’m not worried about him recanting, it’s still worth winning him over.
Li Yuanqin replied with a few courteous words, then turned away. After the spirit boat traveled for a few seconds, the talisman in Chi Buhua’s hand suddenly flared and pointed north.
"Found him!" exclaimed Chi Buhua.
He was overjoyed, and quickly steered the spirit boat in a new direction to give chase. Seeing nothing in the distance, the old man activated a perception technique, quickly forming hand seals and pressing his hands to his eyes.
