Chapter 1225 - 1273: Attempt
However, Li Yifei did not dare to scrutinize that person carefully. If the other party knew he had such thoughts and if his guess turned out to be right, there was a high chance they would kill to silence him.
"Clan leader Li, what’s wrong?" the elder asked gently.
Li Yifei was inwardly alarmed; he had merely experienced a slight change in his heartbeat, yet the elder had noticed him. This really showed the extent of the gap in their strengths.
"Nothing much, just feeling a bit anxious."
The elder smiled slightly and said, "No need to rush, this matter is not urgent."
Li Yifei nodded, said nothing more, let his breath calm down, and did not look at the person who might be the leader again, simply waiting quietly for Xu Shanshan and the others.
After over two hours, Xu Shanshan and the woman in black robes and mask both stopped working. The elder immediately asked, "How did it go?"
The woman in the black mask shook her head, while Xu Shanshan frowned and said, "I don’t understand; the True Qi kept trailing my own True Qi around, there was no effect at all."
The elder nodded and seemed calm this time, saying, "That’s normal. If that stone wall could be opened easily, it would imply that what’s inside is not very precious. The harder it is to open, the more it proves the value of what’s inside."
"So tired! It’s like they were sucking away all my True Qi." Xu Shanshan came over to sit beside Li Yifei, speaking somewhat wearily.
