I use the fox fairy to suppress all ghosts

Chapter 4247 A Dark Move

It's clear that Jin Xingyuan has feelings for Liu Hao, and a large part of these feelings come from Liu Xiangdong. I don't know what connection Liu Xiangdong and Jin Xingyuan had before, but Jin Xingyuan regards Liu Hao as a friend's orphan and wants to help him. Even though Liu Hao has become such a mess, Jin Xingyuan still has illusions about him.

If Jin Xingyuan still harbors such thoughts about him, I reckon Old Jin might suffer a great loss.

Although we don't really like Jin Xingyuan and he's never gotten along with us, he's always been on our side. He would never betray the Special Investigation Team, and we don't want him to be betrayed by Liu Hao.

Seeing Jin Xingyuan still trying to persuade him, the slovenly Taoist priest couldn't help but say, "What is Jin Xingyuan thinking? He actually wants Liu Hao to turn back. He is now the Xuanwu Elder of the Yiguan Sect, an important figure in the sect. There is absolutely no way he would turn back. If Jin Xingyuan still has illusions about him, he will be tricked to death by Liu Hao sooner or later."

"So what if we get scammed? This old man isn't a good person anyway," Little Fatty suddenly said.

Liu Hao seemed unwilling to get entangled with Jin Xingyuan any longer. After obtaining the relic of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, Liu Hao turned around and darted off in one direction, leaping over the courtyard wall in a single bound.

Seeing Liu Hao run away, Jin Xingyuan shouted angrily, "Liu Hao, get back here!"

As he spoke, Jin Xingyuan picked up his magic sword and chased after Liu Hao. However, after only a few steps, some people from the First Pass rushed forward, trying to block his way.

Those who blocked Jin Xingyuan were all small fry from the first pass. The person who was in charge of digging up the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was of average strength and could not possibly stop him.

Jin Xingyuan kept his eyes fixed on the direction Liu Hao had fled, completely ignoring those who blocked his path.

With a single sword strike, a terrifying sword aura rose from the ground, sweeping away the few people blocking the way with overwhelming force, tearing them to pieces in a gruesome manner.

The next moment, Jin Xingyuan swiftly vaulted over the courtyard wall.

"Brother Wu, Liu Hao has run towards Qinglong Mountain. I reckon there's a legendary artifact called the Dream Return Sedan Chair over there. He's going to send away the relics of the Dipankara Buddha that he acquired. We have no choice but to intervene this time," Kasang said anxiously.

I pondered for a moment and said, "We must pursue them. We can't let that brat Liu Hao take the relic away. If we can't get it, he can't take it either."

As we were talking, our group jumped off the roof and chased after Liu Hao and Jin Xingyuan.

Behind the Great Thunderclap Temple is a mountain called Azure Dragon Mountain, which is the direction Liu Hao and Jin Xing originally fled in.

The mountain wasn't very high, but the vegetation was very dense. Kasang ran ahead, leading the way for us.

We chased after Qinglong Mountain for seven or eight minutes when Kasang suddenly turned back and said that Jin Xingyuan had already intercepted Liu Hao.

Hearing Kassan say that, we cautiously walked in their direction. This was a good opportunity; maybe we could take down Liu Hao.

Although Jin Xingyuan was somewhat biased towards Liu Hao, he was still able to understand the bigger picture. If we were to take action against Liu Hao and he insisted on stopping us, he would definitely be in deep trouble if Shao Tian blamed him.

In a small grove of trees ahead, we saw Jin Xingyuan and Liu Hao.

Jin Xingyuan, carrying a magic sword and a knife on his back, blocked Liu Hao's path.

Jin Xingyuan is a master of both swords and sabers, and his strength is terrifying.

Liu Hao, who was stopped, knew that he was no match for Jin Xingyuan, so he immediately started to play the emotional card. He pitifully said, "Master Jin, I beg you, please let me go. For the sake of how good my father was to you when he was alive, please give me a way out."

"Haohao... don't be so stubborn anymore. Come with me, and I'll say you surrendered voluntarily. If you can also reveal some secrets about Yiguandao, or tell me about Yiguandao's lair and Bai Mile's hiding place, you can atone for your crimes. I guarantee that Chief Shao won't make things difficult for you," Jin Xingyuan said excitedly.

"Master Jin, I can't go back. I've killed a lot of people. Even if I go back, the Special Investigation Team won't accept me. Putting aside everything else, my old enemies alone could take my life. I beg you..." As he spoke, Liu Hao knelt down in front of Jin Xingyuan.

Jin Xingyuan sighed helplessly, then said, "You can leave if you want, but leave the relics of Dipankara Buddha behind, and I'll pretend I didn't see you. I know that these relics are definitely what Bai Maitreya wants, and I absolutely cannot let you become an accomplice to evil."

“Master Jin, if I don’t take the things back, the Grand Master will kill me…” Liu Hao said again.

“I don’t care what you do, this relic of Dipankara Buddha absolutely cannot fall into the hands of Bai Maitreya. If he gets his hands on it, the entire China will be plunged into chaos, and the martial arts world will be stained with blood. Put the relic down, and you can leave... I’ll pretend I didn’t see you,” Jin Xingyuan said resolutely.

Liu Hao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, took out a cloth bag from his person, and placed it directly in front of him.

"Mr. Jin, you can take your things."

"Liu Hao, I'm letting you go this time, but this means we're no longer friends, and I've severed all ties with you. I also absolve you of any kindness from your father. If I ever see you again, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword. I'll make sure you bleed every last drop. Do you understand?" Jin Xingyuan said as he walked toward Liu Hao.

“Master Jin, I cannot express my gratitude enough. In truth, you have always been like family to me. I have no family left in this world, so please accept my bow once more.” With that, Liu Hao kowtowed to Jin Xingyuan again.

Jin Xingyuan had already walked to Liu Hao's side and reached out to take the cloth bag that was placed in front of Liu Hao.

The relic in his pocket was the one belonging to the ancient Buddha Dipankara.

Seeing this scene, I felt a chill run down my spine, and I had a feeling that Liu Hao might be about to do something drastic.

Based on my understanding of Liu Hao, this guy is ruthless. What he just said was meant to make Jin Xingyuan lower his guard so he could launch a sneak attack. I was just about to warn Jin Xingyuan to be careful, but it was too late.

Just as Jin Xingyuan bent down to reach for the cloth bag containing the sword, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Liu Hao's lips, and countless silver needles shot out from his body, stabbing towards Jin Xingyuan at the same time.

Jin Xingyuan was still moved by Liu Hao's words and was completely unprepared. Suddenly, all the silver needles landed on Jin Xingyuan's body. Jin Xingyuan groaned and staggered back several steps.
