Su Xianxian’s current appearance really surprised Li Yuanzhu.

Although he wasn’t exactly elegant or graceful before, he still looked pretty proper and smart.

Since he was one of the world’s top experts, he looked pretty glorious.

However, the person who appeared in front of Li Yuanzhu at present had only a few strands of hair clinging to his scalp. Su Xianxian’s eyes were swollen, his cheeks were thin, and he looked extremely unhealthy and morbid. His eyes were dull, and he looked very abnormal.

It had only been two months since they last met. What had happened to him to cause such big changes?

Seeing her expression, his face immediately turned gloomy. At present, he really loathed when others paid attention to his appearance.

The only reasons Su Xianxian didn’t flare up were because Li Yuanzhu was the third most powerful expert in the world and because he had something to ask her.

However, there were more than just the two of them at the scene. Dozens of Luohua Sect disciples rushed out to check the situation and were surprised to see him in his present state, which made him more irritable.

“Priestess Li, what brings you here to Luohua Sect today?” he asked, suppressing his irritation deep down.

Li Yuanzhu fell silent for a moment before replying, “Forget it. It doesn’t matter anymore how you became like this. I have come to take your life today.”

Su Xianxian thought he heard her wrong and asked in shock, “Priestess Li, what did you say?”

Ever since she became famous, she had never killed a single person.

However, her purpose for coming was actually to kill him?

“I have come to kill you and take your head.” Li Yuanzhu sighed.

Su Xianxian’s face changed drastically, and it was the same for all the disciples.

With her reputation and might as the third most powerful expert in the world, simply opposing her alone would make many feel nervous.

“Priestess Li, what are you talking about? Has Luohua Sect offended you in any way? Or is there some misunderstanding?!” a middle-aged man shouted.

Everyone hoped that it was just a misunderstanding.

“No offense and no misunderstanding. I have no choice but to do this. Pardon me!” Li Yuanzhu replied unhurriedly and didn’t rush to take action.

If Su Xianxian didn’t die, then all of Luohua Sect had to die.

However, she was disinclined to explain this. Such things would probably happen again in the future. Regardless of whether the other party hated or resented her, she could only let them be.

Su Xianxian let out a peal of deep laughter and said, “Li Yuanzhu, we had no grievance in the past and no hatred today. Are you taking my life because of the treasures in the secret residence? I already left the secret residence back then. What exactly is the secret for you to go after me to this extent?”

He had just gotten back to the sect, yet Li Yuanzhu came knocking to take his life. Other than this reason, he couldn’t think of anything else.

“Treasures in the secret residence?” Everyone in Luohua Sect was surprised.

“If you want to take my life, we will be enemies! You guys are so vicious! That Ren Baqian poisoned me to this state and you, the Li Yuanzhu who has never killed anyone, are here to kill me! I only wish to know why.”

“If you weren’t narrow-minded that day and had not caused that disturbance, you naturally would already know the reason. However, it’s useless to talk about it now. Let’s finish it! After you die, I promise you that everyone in Luohua Sect will be safe and sound!” She was neither happy nor angry. Her eyelids sagged, and she remained undisturbed like the water in a deep well.

She was slightly surprised though. Su Xianxian had been poisoned by Ren Baqian? When? There were so many top experts in the crowd, but no one detected it. Furthermore, he still reduced Su Xianxian to such a miserable state. Ren Baqian’s nickname of Poison Warrior was well-deserved. One truly couldn’t belittle him just because he was merely an Earth Wheel expert.

“It seems that I must die!”

Su Xianxian laughed, but it sounded rather tragic.

If it were in the past, he would still give it a shot.

But now, he not only lost more than half of his hair, but there were also some problems with his body. Losing a tooth was one of these problems, and it was also something that greatly affected him.

In addition, the flow in his body wasn’t running smoothly. His breath was originally smooth, but he now felt a little suffocated. It wouldn’t be much of a problem if he was fighting against ordinary experts, but now that he was facing Li Yuanzhu, who was much stronger than him, he didn’t even have the strength to fight back anymore.

Su Xianxian let out a bitter smile, took out a jade pendant from his pocket, and threw it to one of his disciples.

“Xu Dazhong, you’ll be the chief of Luohua Sect!” he commanded.

“Chief!” The middle-aged man receiving the jade pendant was shocked.

“You have learned the most out of the [Luohua Technique], and the rest is on the jade pendant. You can choose to pass it down to one of the disciples in the sect. Don’t break the inheritance of Luohua Sect.”

Li Yuanzhu stood silently and waited for Su Xianxian to handle sect matters.

After finishing his instructions, he looked at her and said, “Thank you for letting me hand over the inheritance of my sect. However, we’ll still have to see whether you can take my head!”

At the end of his words, he shifted his feet and turned into dozens of shadows that ran in all directions.

A glint flashed across Li Yuanzhu’s eyes. Then, she started chasing in a certain direction.

If Su Xianxian had split without the slightest hindrance, it might not have been possible for her to find his true body so quickly.

She was also sure that there was something wrong with his body and that it wasn’t a minor problem.

The disciples of Luohua Sect saw the two disappear from their sight and shouted tragically, “Chief!”

“Li Yuanzhu!” With boundless grief, more than one of them shouted her name.

However, no one knew that Li Yuanzhu was saving the entire sect other than Su Xianxian.

She didn’t want to explain and didn’t care about the aftermath. She simply followed far behind him.

At the same time, she also felt a bit shocked. This Su Xianxian was truly worthy of being the chief of Luohua Sect. She needed to try hard to keep up with him even under the circumstances of him having some problems with his body.

Under normal conditions, she might not have been able to keep up.

Li Yuanzhu chased after him for more than half a month. Every time they passed a city, he would take a deep breath and shout, “Li Yuanzhu, you became the barbarian’s lackey for the treasures of the secret residence and came to kill me. How are you worthy of being the third most powerful expert in the world? What injustice!”

Su Xianxian’s voice swept across like a gust of wind. The people in these cities couldn’t see him, but they felt his presence. This immediately caused a commotion.

After more than half a month, the entire eastern part of Great Xia was agitated.

From behind, Li Yuanzhu remained unmoved after seeing what he did. She neither explained nor hesitated in her actions, but did show a little pity on her face.

She could feel that he was close to running out of energy.

She didn’t mind or care about Su Xianxian’s tricks or about the remarks that were circulating in Great Xia.

Li Yuanzhu remained calm and undisturbed like the water in a well.

Others would have found her nature frightening if they knew how she felt at the moment.

A few days later, in the northern part of Great Xia, she stopped in her tracks and felt that her breath was impeded.

Although Li Yuanzhu’s state of mind hadn’t fluctuated, the color of the clothes that she was wearing had darkened.

Even someone like her felt a little sorry for herself at the moment.

Su Xianxian fell to the ground without an ounce of energy left in his body.

“Now, can you tell me why?” He looked a lot more aged than a month ago, and his face was covered with many brown spots, just like the face of an old man.

His eyes looked muddy.

Almost half of his teeth were missing.

The current Su Xianxian looked like an old man who was going to die.

Li Yuanzhu sighed and said, “You have truly done something wrong. If you don’t die, the others won’t be convinced. There are many experts in the world, and there are many who are proud and arrogant like you. If they follow you as an example, there is no telling how many of them would die.

If you die, countless lives can be saved.

Although you shouldn’t die, you have to die.”

Su Xianxian grew more and more puzzled. He struggled to sit up and asked, “What do the world’s experts have to do with me?”

Li Yuanzhu explained to him about the foreign races and the public welfare organization.

“It wasn’t because of the secret residence?” He was surprised.

“There is no secret residence. That was just a lie. Didn’t Ren Baqian say it that day?” She shook her head.

“I’m unreconciled…!” Su Xianxian cried out, threw up blood, and his eyes glared as he took his last breath.

He had never imagined that he would die for such a reason… He had never imagined that those events would happen after he left!

He hadn’t expected that the secret residence didn’t exist!

Su Xianxian felt that it was simply not worthwhile for him to have gotten poisoned!

If not for this poison, how would Li Yuanzhu have caught up to him?
