After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 164 You surnamed Liu, you're not a honest person!

"I knew all along that you were invited by someone else to ambush us!" Ye Xiaobai said in a serious tone.

"Impossible! How did you know?" The cultivator surnamed Liu immediately showed an incredulous expression and asked loudly.

"You don't need to know that!" Ye Xiaobai looked inscrutable, watching Liu Rumei and Sun Siyu stare wide-eyed, somewhat believing him.

"You're lying. Then tell me who invited us?" The cultivator surnamed Liu simply couldn't believe that Ye Xiaobai knew who had invited them.

"It's that guy, the one surnamed Wu!" Ye Xiaobai thought that the person who ambushed them on the border of Yue Kingdom must be a Yue person. Ye Xiaobai didn't know many Yue people, except for Sun Siyu and the alchemist surnamed Wu whom he met at the alchemy conference.

Later, after the alchemy competition, Ye Xiaobai learned that the man surnamed Wu, like Sun Siyu, was also an alchemist from the Yue Kingdom. However, the man surnamed Wu didn't seem to treat Ye Xiaobai very well, though not to the point of wanting to kill him.

Although killing and robbing for treasures is not uncommon in the cultivation world, Ye Xiaobai doesn't seem to have any valuable treasures.

Therefore, Ye Xiaobai was just saying it casually.

"What? How did you know it was Wu Qingguang who invited us?" The cultivator surnamed Liu was dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears.

Sun Siyu was terrified when she heard Wu Qingguang's name; she never expected that he was the one who wanted her dead.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai was taken aback, not expecting that his guess had come true. He quickly continued the conversation from the cultivator surnamed Liu, saying, "Wu Qingguang said that you guys have been getting increasingly unruly lately, so he asked us to help deal with you!"

After Ye Xiaobai finished speaking, a sly smile appeared on his face. He quickly gave Liu Rumei a meaningful look, as if he was hinting at some important information.

Liu Rumei was incredibly clever and quick-witted; she immediately grasped Ye Xiaobai's intention and responded in a tacit manner:

"Yes, you're such an innocent fool! They don't treat you as a real partner at all, just as a tool they can use at will. And what about you? You're still here fighting hard, giving your all with all your effort and sweat."

"Oh well, maybe death is a relief for you. At least you can die knowing the truth, and you won't be fooled or used anymore!"

Liu Rumei's words carried a hint of helplessness and regret, but more importantly, they brought the Liu-surnamed cultivator a clearer understanding of reality. Her sharp words exposed his predicament, making him realize his own position and worth.

Upon hearing Liu Rumei's words, the cultivator surnamed Liu felt a chill run down his spine. He had risked his life for Wu Qingguang many times, only to end up as nothing more than a discarded pawn.

Han Yishi was the same; he truly lived up to his reputation as the White-Haired Old Demon, utterly devoid of humanity.

Thinking of this, the cultivator surnamed Liu felt utterly desperate, but he still did not give up any chance to escape.

Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai also took the opportunity to get closer to the cultivator surnamed Liu, looking for a better position to attack, while also blocking all his escape routes, leaving him no chance.

"Wu Qingguang is indeed a shameless scoundrel!"

"I've already told you such important information, can you please let me go?" The cultivator surnamed Liu still tried to find a chance.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai stopped in their tracks and gave Sun Siyu a confirming look.

Upon seeing this, Sun Siyu said, "Alright then, tell me your so-called earth-shattering secret first! This secret shouldn't be about Wu Qingguang sending you here to ambush us, right?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Liu saw a glimmer of hope for survival and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Of course not, this huge secret is like this..." As he spoke, he didn't forget to move closer to Sun Siyu.

At this moment, Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai were also quietly approaching each other.

Seeing that he was close enough to Sun Siyu, the cultivator surnamed Liu immediately tried to subdue her in order to gain an opportunity to negotiate.

"Siyu, watch out!"

Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai, of course, wouldn't give the Liu-surnamed cultivator any chance. While quickly instructing Sun Siyu to hide, they swiftly subdued the Liu-surnamed cultivator with overwhelming force.

If it weren't for wanting to learn that important secret from the cultivator surnamed Liu, Ye Xiaobai and the others wouldn't have gone to such lengths to orchestrate this farce; they would have joined forces to kill him without hesitation.

After all, for the dominant party, defeating an enemy is not difficult, but obtaining crucial information requires much more strategy and wisdom. In this tense and exciting contest, every detail is full of suspense and variables.

Meanwhile, Liu Rumei, Ye Xiaobai, and the others, with their boldness and meticulousness, gradually gained the upper hand. They knew that only through clever means could they get the cultivator surnamed Liu to reveal the truth, thereby unraveling the huge conspiracy hidden behind this mystery.

"You surnamed Liu, you're not a honest person! We've already agreed to your request, and you still want to ambush Fairy Sun!" Ye Xiaobai firmly restrained the cultivator surnamed Liu while reprimanding him.

"Alas, such is fate!" Seeing that he was completely controlled and there was really no way out, the cultivator surnamed Liu could only sigh helplessly.

"Stop reminiscing, just say it!" Liu Rumei rolled her eyes and said loudly.

"Will you spare my life if I tell you?" The cultivator surnamed Liu's voice trembled with despair. He knew he was in an extremely dangerous situation, but deep down he still clung to a sliver of hope, trying to use the secrets he knew to buy his life.

“Speaking out will at least save you some suffering in the soul refining process!” Ye Xiaobai’s tone was cold and firm, revealing an undisguised threat. As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a palm-sized fireball appeared above his palm.

The fireball burned fiercely, emitting a blazing light, as if demonstrating its terrifying power to the cultivator surnamed Liu.

Ye Xiaobai stared intently at the cultivator surnamed Liu, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He understood that this person might possess important information, but he would never let him go easily.

Seeing the raging flames, the cultivator surnamed Liu was immediately terrified. He knew he didn't want to suffer the pain of soul refining, so he immediately revealed his secret.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, this huge secret is like this..." The cultivator surnamed Liu stammered as he introduced the secret.

It turns out that news about the Five Elements Venerable's cave has been discovered, and many cultivators from the Yue Kingdom are preparing to go there to seek opportunities.

Legend has it that the Five Elements Venerable was a powerful figure from the continent hundreds of years ago. He was not only skilled in alchemy, but also had top-notch puppet-making skills. Therefore, his cave dwelling might contain many rare pills or top-quality puppets.

These treasures have captivated the cultivators of Yue Kingdom to the point of frenzy!

Upon hearing this news, Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai were immediately agitated. Countless rare pills and top-grade puppets—no cultivator could resist such temptation!

Sun Siyu frowned, worried that the search for treasure in the cave might conflict with her master's detoxification efforts.
