"To be honest, there aren't many people in the entire Qingyang City who can cure you. And in the 9th district, I'm the only one who can." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Since Daoist Li can see through it and point out my problem, I believe that Daoist Li is the only person in Qingyang City who can save me.
I just don't know how Daoist Li is going to save me. "Du Long nodded and said.
"Since your problem is due to the wrong method of enlightening the apertures, then you should first start with the method of enlightening the apertures.
I cultivate a secret manual called "White Feather Soaring Technique", which also enlightens the apertures on the legs, so I can teach you the method of enlightening the apertures. "Han Li thought for a while and said.
"Enlightening the apertures?
Those apertures of mine have been opened before, what's the use of enlightening the apertures now? "Du Long scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Of course it won't work if you only use this method. I also need a powerful divine sense as a support. It just so happens that my divine sense isn't weak." Han Li shook his head and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Du Long showed a complicated smile on his face, "It seems that without Daoist Li, this matter really can't be done. I'm afraid that Daoist Li's conditions are not simple, right?"
"Haha, Daoist Du Long worries too much. Other than needing some beast cores for cultivation, I just have some small matters that I need your help with." Han Li said with a smile.
"Daoist Li, feel free to ask. If I can do it, I won't refuse." Du Long frowned slightly and said.
Han Li's smile faded and he wore a serious expression as he said, "I know that Fellow Daoist Poison Dragon has a wide network in the ninth district and can even make contact with other districts. As such, there are a few people who wish to inquire about you."
"Oh, who?" Du Long was puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, there were two other people who came to Qingyang City with me. One is called Shi Kong, and the other is Daoist Xie. After I became a Xuan Gladiator in the 9th District, they probably suffered the same fate. Have you heard of them?" Han Li asked.
"I've never heard of these two names, but I can help you ask around.
Although the change of the Mystic Gladiators is very fast and there are many newcomers joining, as long as they enter the Mystic Arena at the same time as you, the scope can be narrowed down by a lot. It shouldn't be too difficult to find them. "Seeing that Han Li's requirements were really not high, Du Long said as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.
"Besides that, Fellow Poisonous Dragon has been in the Dark Battle Arena for a long time. Have you heard of an extremely beautiful woman appearing in this city?
She … "When Han Li thought of Violet Spirit, he wanted to describe her appearance, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you know?
What Qingyang City lacked the most wasn't high level beast cores, but women.
Not to mention extremely beautiful women, it was very rare to see a woman with good looks.
If there really was a woman you spoke of, it should have spread throughout the entire Qingyang City. "Du Long looked at Han Li with a strange expression and shook his head.
Han Li thought of Chen Yang, who was a trusted aide of the city lord, but only had a mediocre looking female servant by his side. He believed Du Long's words to 70% to 80%, so he didn't continue to ask and became a little silent.
"Fellow Daoist Li, is this all you need me to do?" Du Long looked at Han Li with some disbelief.
"Treating your hidden danger isn't something that can be done overnight. In the future, I'll have to take a lot of beast cores from you. I'm afraid this is enough to make your heart ache." Han Li sighed and said.
"It's just a few beast cores. If my hidden danger is completely eliminated, then there's hope to fight for it. If I can participate in a higher level Xuan Dou, then the harvest at that time can't be compared to now." Du Long waved his hand and said with some longing.
"I wonder what the higher level Xuan Dou that Fellow Daoist Du Long is referring to?" Han Li's heart moved and asked.
"It's not that I'm looking down on Fellow Daoist Li, but the number of mysterious apertures you have now is still too few. In the future, you won't be able to come into contact with them for a long time, so there's no need to rush to understand for now. You'll know in the future." Du Long looked at Han Li and said so.
Han Li didn't have any intention of delving into this and said instead, "In addition to these things, I also want you to hand over Dao Ba to me."
"How do you want to deal with him?" Du Long frowned and asked.
Han Li didn't say a word. He just raised one palm and waved it casually, making a beheading gesture.
"Fellow Li, although this Dao Ba is a bit cunning and has offended you before, and even me finding trouble with you this time was mostly instigated by him, but his crime shouldn't be punishable by death, right?" Du Long said after a slight hesitation.
"If it's just these, of course it's not punishable by death, but he shouldn't have tried to take my life with the Heart Eating Bug." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Heart Eating Bug?
What's going on? "Du Long said in surprise.
A trace of doubt flashed in Han Li's heart, and he told Du Long about the sneak attack by the Heart Eating Bug that day.
After listening, Du Long frowned. After a long silence, he said:
"Fellow Li, it's not that I'm trying to protect Dao Ba, but this matter is a bit strange. I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding … Tell me about it." Han Li's eyes flickered as he said slowly.
"This kid Dao Ba is indeed more capable than others. He can get some things that can't be found in the Mysterious Arena, but it definitely doesn't include rare things like the Heart Eating Bug.
Fellow Li, you may not know, but the value of this bug is no less than the Black Tribulation Bug. Dao Ba doesn't have that ability at all.
Moreover, before I went into seclusion, I had instructed him not to act rashly. He has never dared to disobey my orders, so why would he act on his own and do such a thing? "Du Long spat and said.
"If that's the case, then there's something fishy about this matter." Han Li frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"This matter is simple. Fellow Li, come with me to see Dao Ba, and we'll confront each other face to face. If he really did it, there's no need for Fellow Li to do anything, I'll kill him myself.
If not, I hope Fellow Li can spare his life. After all, he's been with me for so many years. "Du Long said after thinking for a while.
"If he didn't do it, or if he was instigated by someone else, I can spare his life." Han Li nodded and said.
"Alright!
There's no time to lose, let's go now. "Du Long stood up and said.
As soon as the two of them reached the passageway, Han Li heard a clamor coming from the front.
He followed the sound and saw that a lot of people had gathered in front of a house. They were all looking inside.
"Huh?
It's Dao Ba's house. Did something happen? "Du Long raised his eyebrows and said.
The two of them looked at each other and hurriedly ran over.
Seeing that Du Long had arrived, the people blocking the door retreated and made way for him.
Du Long's face was gloomy and he rushed into the house without saying a word. Han Li followed closely behind without saying a word.
As soon as Han Li stepped into the house, he saw Dao Ba who was leaning against the corner of the stone bed. His chest was exposed and his heart was a bloody mess. His eyes were wide open and his eyeballs were protruding outwards. His face was twisted and hideous. It was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
"Which one of you can tell me what's going on?" Du Long frowned and shouted loudly as he looked around.
"The matter is … is like this. A few days ago, I told Dao Ba that I wanted to get some White Jade Stone Powder. He told me to find him today.
Just now, when I arrived, I found that his stone door was not closed and no one answered when I called him.
When I opened the door, I found that he was already in such a state. "A dwarf man with protruding lips and greenish-grey skin said with some fear.
Han Li walked forward without saying a word and pulled the open clothes on Dao Ba's chest out. On the left side of his chest near his shoulder, there were two thumb-sized holes. One revealed a black centipede tail and the other revealed half of a white thread.
"This is the Black Calamity Worm and the Heart Devouring Worm …" Someone exclaimed as he recognized the two things.
When the surrounding people heard this, they all retreated and dispersed, looking as if they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it in time.
Han Li looked around and saw that there was an open box made of bone beside Dao Ba's hand. It was as white as jade and looked quite exquisite and small. He raised his hand and picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"This seems to be made from the nasal bone of an Insect Eating Beast. It is said that this beast lives in the Heart Eating Valley and lives next to the Heart Devouring Worm. Its long nose can suck the Heart Devouring Worm into its nasal cavity and then use the mucus produced in its nasal cavity to melt it.
Therefore, its nasal bone can restrain the Heart Devouring Worm and is often used to make artifacts to hold the Heart Devouring Worm. "Du Long also came over and stared at it for a moment before saying.
"This Dao Ba is so bold. He actually dares to raise the Heart Devouring Worm. Isn't he courting death?" The dwarf man shouted.
"He really burned himself playing with fire. He was attacked to death by the Heart Devouring Worm he raised …" Another Xuan Gladiator said.
"With his death, who can I ask for the Sword Thorn Beast Bone that he promised to help me get?
I had to give him three Pulo beast cores in exchange. "A burly gray-skinned man suddenly said.
"Yes, my Tortoise Scale Armor is also gone …" Another person lamented.
At this time, a group of Xuan Gladiator Arena soldiers also rushed over and forcibly drove all the Xuan Gladiators out of the room.
After the leading soldier checked Dao Ba's body, he immediately announced that the stone house would be temporarily closed. Then, he ordered his men to carry Dao Ba's body and left the place.
When the onlookers saw this, they all looked at Du Long with a strange expression.
Du Long exchanged a look with Han Li and walked back to the former's room at the same time.
Looking at the backs of the two people who were far away, the Xuan Gladiators of the ninth district finally reacted. When did the two people who were fighting each other become so close?
The two of them paid no heed to the commotion behind them and sank into deep thought.
"Mr. Li, what do you think about this matter?" After a moment, Du Long took the initiative to speak.
