After confirming that these people were completely dead, Ji Changsheng did not bother looting the bodies.
Most of these guys were from powerful aristocratic families. Who knows what treasures they carried in their storage bags.
If he wasn't able to refine them immediately, he could easily expose himself.
So Ji Changsheng curbed his greed.
Only after he poisoned the corpses and planted booby traps in the room did Ji Changsheng swiftly disappear.
It was a pitch-black night, perfect for murder.
Killing these underlings, however, was far from enough.
The biggest threat to him, Bai Guanlin, was still alive.
And he was Ji Changsheng's next target.
Bai Guanlin had been successfully lured down the mountain.
But he was sure to return.
The risk of going down the mountain to kill Bai Guanlin was too great. Judging by Bai Guanlin's followers' discussions, they had significant influence down the mountain, and they could mobilize the support of their families anytime. Hence, Ji Changsheng absolutely refused to take such a risk.
The most suitable place to ambush was on the path Bai Guanlin inevitably had to take to return up the mountain.
Compared to killing these followers, Ji Changsheng wasn't completely confident about killing Bai Guanlin.
It was clear that Bai Guanlin was an important figure of the Bai Family, extraordinarily gifted and with a solid background. People like him would certainly have a few lifesaving treasures on them.
If Ji Changsheng tried hastily, his chances of success might be less than half.
But he still decided to take a shot.
Longer nights breed more dreams.
One was an offspring from a wealthy family, and the other was an inconspicuous undercover agent of the Devil Sect, whose identity could be revealed anytime. Ji Changsheng believed now was the best chance he would ever have to kill Bai Guanlin.
Miss this opportunity, and it will only become harder to find another.
So, he decided to take his shot.
The Mystic Temple didn't have any guardian mythical beasts. The doors were always open. Disciples could easily venture beyond the mountain, and outsiders could easily enter.
However, as the leading sect in this world, the Mystic Temple's gates have never been breached.
That's because everyone knew the foundation of the Mystic Temple was the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda.
As long as this protective Divine Artifact was present, even if you could manage to shatter the Mystic Temple, you could not fundamentally harm it.
So, until they can figure out a way to neutralize the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, the enemies of the Mystic Temple wouldn't dare to recklessly bring about their own doom.
This situation offered both Bai Guanlin and Ji Changsheng the freedom to act as they wished.
In comparison with those sects with strict regulations, entering and exiting the Mystic Temple was quite easy.
Only because the Mystic Temple had so few disciples, and yet so robust a power that they dared to leave their gates wide open.
Darkness shrouded the land.
Ji Changsheng crept in the shadows along the mountainside. He had already changed into night-faring clothes, donned a human skin mask, fitting perfectly into the night. He patiently waited for Bai Guanlin's arrival.
About fifteen minutes later, in the dark night, Ji Changsheng caught sight of a young gentleman in unblemished white attire.
Bai Guanlin had arrived!
Ji Changsheng took a steady breath, his right hand shrouded in dark energy, slowly forming a blade of blood.
When Bai Guanlin got within half a meter in front of where he was hidden, Ji Changsheng mustered all his cultivation base, focusing all his energy into one decisive swing.
With absolute resolve, he struck like a man possessed.
"Who's there?"
Bai Guanlin roared in shock and anger.
By the time he reacted, Ji Changsheng's Blood Knife was already at his neck.
The target of this stroke was to decapitate him straightaway.
One swift stroke to kill, or the plan fails and he disappears.
Ji Changsheng knew there would be no chances for a second strike, so he didn't hold back in the slightest.
With his late-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation base, even if he gained it by collecting merit, in terms of raw power, he wasn't inferior to Bai Guanlin.
Furthermore, as Ji Changsheng had the element of surprise on his side, he had the advantage of catching Bai Guanlin off guard.
If everything went as planned, Bai Guanlin should not be able to dodge this attack.
But Ji Changsheng felt a heavy sense of foreboding.
Bai Guanlin had indeed failed to evade.
But Bai Guanlin's white robe automatically glowed with a layer of white light, protecting Bai Guanlin's throat.
When Ji Changsheng's Blood Knife hit this layer of white light, both Ji Changsheng and Bai Guanlin grunted and spat out blood, retreating in two directions.
"Damn Second Generation of Immortals!"
This result was within Ji Changsheng's expectations, but he was still disappointed.
Body protection by the law robe.
Only an attack at Golden Core level could break it.
Ji Changsheng quickly confirmed this and swiftly retreated, extremely decisive!
But even in the dark night, on the mid-hillside, Ji Changsheng and Bai Guanlin's brief confrontation still caught the attention of the top experts in Mystic Temple.
"Evil Blood Energy? Who started a fight under the mountain?"
A golden light pierced through the darkness, arrived breaking through the air, seemed to lock on Ji Changsheng's position in the next moment.
Ji Changsheng was not panicked. He had already gained partial control over the Moon Palace, and could return there at any time. This was why he dared to make a move in the Mystic Temple.
Because he had backups, Ji Changsheng dared to go all out.
But an unexpected incident occurred just as Ji Changsheng was preparing to leave.
In an instant, a hand traversed space. The next moment, it grabbed Ji Changsheng and disappeared on the spot.
The golden light lost its target.
A light "eh" sounded from above.
"There's an accomplice."
...
Ji Changsheng was also surprised.
He actually didn't have an accomplice.
This matter was significant, Ji Changsheng didn't even report it to Li Changxi in advance.
Li Changxi, a tough figure, should be reserved for crucial moments, not used in every situation.
Today's issue, Ji Changsheng planned to resolve by himself.
Without Li Changxi's help, he was confident to escape from danger.
But this figure in black was completely unexpected.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Ji Changsheng seemed to be in a secret realm, separated from the real world at the spatial level.
This secret realm seemed to have been refined by the figure in black in front of him.
Ji Changsheng was very curious about why the figure in black would save him.
The figure in black was also surprised.
"Do you want to kill Bai Guanlin?"
Ji Changsheng nodded, "Of course."
He didn't know why this figure in black saved him, but it was apparent that this figure had been watching him.
In that case, there was no need to hide anything.
The figure in black gave a thumbs-up to Ji Changsheng, full of admiration, "As expected of Li Changxi's junior brother. Your mind is as abnormal as hers. Li Changxi killed her husband on the night of her wedding. You are not even at the Golden Core stage and dare to kill Bai Guanlin. Your Illusory Light lineage, always creates formidable people."
Ji Changsheng's pupils contracted.
The words of the figure in black revealed a lot of information.
He hadn't expected that Li Changxi had been married.
According to his observations, Li Changxi was clearly a maiden.
But from the figure in black's words, it seemed that Li Changxi might have achieved enlightenment by killing her husband.
Well done, just as expected of my senior sister.
Suppressing his inner doubts, Ji Changsheng didn't deny his identity and asked directly, "Why did you save me?"
The figure in black said, "It wasn't me who wanted to save you, it was someone else who asked me to save you."
"Senior sister?"
"You guessed wrong. Li Changxi doesn't even know that you are so daring, it's the Sect Hierarch's wife."
The figure in black's tone was teasing, "As a disciple of the Holy Sect, the Sect Hierarch's wife certainly has to protect you. After all, it's not easy to cultivate an undercover agent in the Mystic Temple."
