Chapter 19: Sinking to the Bottom

The quiet Longquan Lake.

The two "corpses" slowly floated along the current...

Once past the mouth of Longquantan, the water flow will become turbulent again.

Li Shuidao was immersed in the water, as if he was in a quiet dream.

He felt a subtle force surrounding him, as if giving him a strange ability. Suddenly, his eyes opened and he gasped for air.

But after more than ten breaths, Li Shuidao realized that what he was breathing was not air at all, but the cold Longquan water.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Li Shuidao also understood that all this came from the innate magical power of the toad.

The art of water breath!

It is an amphibian after all.

Just behind Li Shuidao, a toad as big as a basin and with skin as hard as granite shrank in an instant, and its skin became as green as jasper.

The jade toad kicked off its legs and got into Li Shuidao's sleeves.

Just as Wang Tiankun's body was about to reach the mouth of the pot, a hand stretched out from the water, yanked the back of his neck, pulled him directly into the water, and dived to the bottom.

Deep underwater...

Li Shuidao pressed a big stone on Wang Tiankun's body.

Destroy corpses and eliminate traces.

There was a crash.

Li Shuidao swam to the shore and dragged Wang Xuanfeng's body down.

I don’t know if he is dead now, but he has sunk together...

Wang Xuanfeng was dragged into the water again and disappeared into the quiet deep pool.

Just at this time.

A figure climbed up and down the steep cliff and came to the vicinity of Longquan Pond. This person was none other than Wang Changjian, the elder of the Wang family.

He looked up and saw splashing water from the waterfall on one side, and the pool water on the other side was as calm as a mirror.

The sound of the crashing waterfall echoed in my ears.

Other than that, there wasn't even a trace of a ghost.

"Wang Xuanfeng! Wang Tiankun!" Wang Changjian couldn't help calling out the names of his clan members.

His voice echoed in the valley, full of anxiety.

However, his shout quickly dissipated in the air without any response.

Wang Changjian felt uneasy. He shouted again at the top of his throat: "Wang Xuanfeng! Wang Tiankun! Come out quickly!"

His voice pierced the tranquility of the pond like a sharp sword and reached Li Shuidao's ears deep in the pond.

There is indeed more than one murderer!

This is probably not because the Wang family teamed up to commit the crime, and the purpose was to eat their own comrades.

Unfortunately, they made a mistake from the beginning. Li Shuidao was not a gecko at all, but a jade toad.

Li Shuidao gently pushed Wang Xuanfeng under a large rock underwater and took out his pocket.

There's nothing good, just about ten jade coins.

After a long time...

Li Shuidao quietly peeled away the water plants underwater and probed his head.

After he glanced around to make sure there was no danger, he stepped gently on the water plants and quietly left the pool.

suddenly!

A breeze came from behind, and Li Shuidao's tail vertebrae trembled.

He was stabbed, and the elder of the Wang family was obviously not weak in cultivation.

It’s over!

I should hide for a while longer.

Li Shuidao drew his sword and turned around, preparing to fight against the trapped beast.

Unexpectedly, there was a woman not far behind him.

Wearing a gorgeous skirt and a gorgeous headdress, she stood gracefully on an exposed rock. She frowned and looked at Li Shuidao.

She is Senior Sister Jiang Xue!

"Senior Sister!" Li Shuidao exclaimed, his voice full of surprise.

"Is this the water breath technique?" Jiang Xue asked.

Li Shuidao smiled awkwardly and could only admit: "Junior brother's colleague is the Jade Toad."

"Huh!" Jiang Xue snorted coldly, rolled her eyes, and then continued to ask: "Where did Wang Tiankun go?"

"Senior Sister, that Wang Tiankun united his clansmen to sneak attack me." Li Shuidao pointed to the knife edge on his shoulder and said with a cry: "Today's market is over, I went to Dashi Terrace and didn't see Senior Sister, then Wang Tiankun lied that Senior Sister was there

I was waiting for me in Longquan Pond, but unexpectedly he and his tribe ambushed me here. They asked me to hand over my fellow gecko. Where can I find a gecko? Fortunately, there is a pool here. I sank into the water and used the water breath technique.

Escaped..."

"I understand, come back with me." Jiang Xue turned around and led the way, and Li Shuidao followed him obediently.

"Sister, what punishment will Wang Tiankun receive?" Li Shuidao asked carefully.

"At this time, I will report the truth to Madam. Whether Wang Tiankun violated the sect rules cannot be determined based on your words alone. If this is verified to be true, Master will confiscate his colleagues and cut off his path from now on." Jiang Xue said.

"Then...what if Wang Tiankun absconded out of fear of crime and just ran away?" Li Shuidao asked indirectly.

"Then notify the Wang family of Poisonous Snake Valley and ask the Wang family to make some compensation. This matter will be over." Jiang Xue said.

"Um...don't you notify our law enforcement hall?" Li Shuidao asked again.

"Hmph! The people in the Law Enforcement Hall are not fuel-efficient lamps. They can dig out three cents of oil in the wasteland. If you can avoid alarming them, don't alarm them. What's more, if such a trivial matter causes trouble in the Law Enforcement Hall, Master will lose face.

Others will think that Master can't even manage his disciples."

"Then what if the Wang family doesn't pay compensation?" Li Shuidao continued to ask.

"Where do you come from with so much nonsense?" Jiang Xue rolled her eyes, but continued to mutter: "The Wang family will make some symbolic compensation, but it is definitely not much. After all, Wang Tiankun is only a small role and has not caused anything.

Big loss.”

"It's so easy?" Li Shuidao looked stunned.

"Then what else do you want?"

"Then why doesn't my father dare to escape from the sect?"

"Oh...what did your father commit?" Jiang Xueda asked with interest.

"It's not like I did anything wrong. It's just that my father does odd jobs in the sect every day, but he doesn't dare to escape from the sect. He said that if he ran away from the sect without permission to become a casual cultivator, I'm afraid I would be implicated." Li

Shuidao said with a big frown.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at Li Shuidao with a meaningful smile and said, "This only shows that the Li family of Shenmu City is indeed a bit strict."

Only then did Li Shuidao suddenly realize that it was not the sect that threatened his father with his life, but the family.

I originally thought that the underlying logic of this world was that the sect, as the master, controlled the family with chains, but I didn't expect that the family tied itself with chains, and then flattered the master, just to be a good slave.

The mental chains of enslavement are more terrifying than the rules set by superiors.

No wonder Li Tianjue is like this...

Li Shuidao was filled with emotions for a moment.

"If someone like Wang Tiankun leaves Master's cave without authorization, Master will probably forget about it if there is no loss. However, if the loss is huge, Master will report it to the Law Enforcement Hall, and then the Wang family will be in big trouble..."

Jiang Xue talked as she hurried on, unable to hide anything in her mouth.

This woman Jiang Xue is a big mouth!

Li Shuidao was almost certain that the fake news about his gekko ginseng was released by this woman.

According to this woman's character, Li Shuidao's secret of toad ginseng may no longer be kept.

Li Shuidao frowned and had to take precautions...

Five Elements Aquatic Wood: Toad poison of the same level can hardly cause any damage to centipede poison.

Five elements of earth overcome water: gecko poison causes multiple damage to the toad poison body, and the toxicity is difficult to eradicate if the poison continues. Toad poison does not cause high damage to the gecko poison body, and the toxicity cannot be sustained.
