How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked and looked around quickly. She had promised old man Lingxu to rescue him and even accepted the reward.

There were many dangers in the ruins just now, and everyone was so focused on dealing with the crisis that they didn't notice when old man Lingxu disappeared.

"Could it still be left in the ruins?" someone whispered.

Li Xiaoxiao frowned. The ruins were closed, and it would be difficult to get in again.

But she couldn't just abandon old man Lingxu.

Just when I was getting anxious, I suddenly heard a hearty laugh coming from a distance.

When everyone looked over, they saw Venerable Lingxu walking slowly towards them, holding a magical herb that emitted a strange glow in his hand.

"You kids, why are you so panicking? I just discovered this treasure and it delayed me a little." Venerable Lingxu said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Venerable Lingxu was safe and sound, and at the same time their eyes were fixed on the magical herb.

Only Li Xiaoxiao had a blank expression on her face, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Venerable Lingxu smiled and said, "Girl, this magical herb will be of great benefit to you, so I'll give it to you."

Li Xiaoxiao's expressionless face finally showed a little smile. He thanked him and approached Venerable Lingxu. Just as he was about to take the fairy grass, he suddenly changed his grip and grabbed the other person's wrist, then sent streams of cold air into his body.

Venerable Lingxu's face suddenly changed, and he actually waved his hand to cut off one of his arms. His body quickly retreated, and the arm that was invaded by the cold air fell to the ground and turned into a pile of ice chips.

Venerable Lingxu was furious, "What are you doing!"

Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to listen to his words, so he quickly approached the other party and punched him in the chin with flames.

However, he dodged it by leaning back slightly, but the beard on his face started to burn. Before he could put out the fire, Li Xiaoxiao changed his fist into a hit and hit him directly in the face. The next moment, the electric current burned the grass within a three-meter radius, leaving only a black circle and the body of Venerable Lingxu.

"What...what is she doing?" someone cried out in panic.

Someone immediately lowered his voice to remind them: "Shh, don't talk, you are going to die."

Li Xiaoxiao frowned as he looked at the charred corpse, squatted down and began to feel around on it, but found nothing, not even the empty ring.

She was very sure that this person was not old man Lingxu. First, although the empty ring on old man Lingxu's finger was plain, it was not damaged at all after passing through the electric current she had applied for a quarter of an hour.

Second: There is no way that the burns on old man Lingxu's body could heal so quickly, otherwise he would not have wrapped himself up so tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Thirdly, this counterfeit not only did not have a garbage-grade empty ring, but also exposed his entire face. Even the skin on his hands was good. The old man Lingxu's beard and hair had been burnt off long ago.

Fourthly, the so-called magic herb he just gave was called Soul-Captivating Grass, and its main function was hypnosis. He even specifically mentioned it to her. Isn’t this just a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken with ulterior motives?

In short, Li Xiaoxiao was sure that this person was definitely a fake.

But where is the real old man Lingxu hidden?

They were all transferred out at the same time, but the old man was seriously injured, so he was easily replaced.

Remembering the direction the man had just walked from, Li Xiaoxiao trotted over directly, opened his spiritual sense to explore a large area, and finally found heat energy ten meters underground.

Li Xiaoxiao put two fingers together, muttered something, and drew a line at the ground in the air. A crack slowly appeared on the ground.

She jumped down through the gap, which was filled with a foul smell.

With the dim light, she saw the real old man Lingxu curled up in the corner.

At this time, old man Lingxu was dying, but he was still wrapped tightly.

Li Xiaoxiao hurried forward to check, and just as he was about to help him up, a group of dark shadows suddenly swarmed around them.

These dark shadows looked like ghosts and pounced towards her with sharp cries.

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and a powerful spiritual shield appeared around his body, trying to keep the black shadow out.

But the black shadow easily passed through the spiritual shield.

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes shone. These shadows were the same species as the previous ones. She immediately felt something was wrong! They hadn't come out from there yet! It seemed that she was too happy too early!

With a thought, old man Lingxu was sent into the bronze tripod.

The next moment, an electric current rushed through, and those black shadows began to sacrifice themselves to the sky as if they had encountered their natural enemies.

Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flew towards the exit.

Just as he came out of the cave and met the monks who were still in a daze, he was about to say that they hadn't left yet, when a sinister laugh came from the air: "Do you think you can leave so easily?"
