Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 503 Meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign country

When Li Zhi was still in Yongguo, he had heard of Dou Ying's story.

Although Shushan did not issue a bounty for the arrest of Dou Ying like Xiaoyaoshan did for Li Zhi, the action of all Shushan disciples going down the mountain to hunt down the rebels did cause an uproar at the time.

It was also at that time that Li Zhi learned that Dou Ying had defected to Shushan.

Since this involves the internal secrets of Shushan, outsiders like Li Zhi naturally have no way of knowing the inside story, nor can they find out the reason why Dou Ying defected.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Dou Ying betrayed his master.

Therefore, at that time, some busybodies in the Yongguo cultivation world even put Dou Ying and Li Zhi together, calling them the two great shames of the Yongguo cultivation world.

One is the shame of Xiaoyao Mountain for killing his master and being disobedient.

One is the shame of Shushan for defecting from his master.

It was for this reason that Li Zhicai became interested in Dou Ying. He even went to inquire about Dou Ying's situation and saw Dou Ying's portrait at that time.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Zhi could recognize Dou Ying's identity at a glance.

After Dou Ying heard Li Zhi reveal his identity, his brows raised slightly, and his already cold eyes became even more fierce, like a sharp sword piercing straight at Li Zhi.

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of coldness: "Are you from Yongguo?"

Li Zhi quickly looked Dou Ying up and down in front of him.

I saw Dou Ying in front of me, dressed in black, which made his skin look as pale as paper and bloodless.

His face seemed to be filled with an unremovable hatred and resentment, as if he held a deep grudge against the world. His eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing a sinister and evil aura.

If Li Zhi had not seen Dou Ying's portrait before, and he had a certain understanding of sword-controlling techniques, he would have been able to confirm that the method of driving the spine sword was sword-controlling techniques.

Otherwise, he would never be able to connect this person in front of him, who exuded a strange and evil aura, with Shushan.

However, Li Zhi has also experienced being endlessly hunted and having to escape for his life.

He naturally understood the difficulty and pain involved.

If Cheng Fengzi had not arrived in time and recruited him into the Night Patrol Division.

Later, relying on the deterrence of the Night Patrol, Li Zhicai escaped the situation of being wanted and hunted.

Otherwise, Li Zhi would probably have fled Yongguo like Dou Ying and hidden in a foreign country.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied, "Yes, I am from the Yongguo Night Tour Division!"

"Ye Yuji?"

Dou Ying frowned slightly. He was naturally familiar with the Yeyou Division.

After all, there is no cultivator who doesn’t know the name of Yongguo Yeyousi.

But Dou Ying was a little puzzled. How come the people from Yongguo Yeyousi came to the territory of Xingyun Sect?

Dou Ying was puzzled, but before he could ask, he heard Li Zhi, who was not far away, continue, "By the way, I have another identity. I think you should have heard of it..."

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Dou Ying's eyes became more suspicious.

Just when he was full of doubts, he heard Li Zhi slowly say: "Xiaoyao Mountain... Li Zhi..."

These words exploded in Dou Ying's ears like thunder. His eyes suddenly widened and a ray of light flashed in them.

He had actually heard of the name Li Zhi!

At that time, Xiaoyao Mountain issued a bounty for the wanted criminal and even offered a magic inheritance as a reward, which caused a sensation in Yongguo at that time. It can be said that anyone who has come into contact with spiritual practice knows about this.

It is natural that Dou Ying could not be completely unaware of this.

Although, at that time, Dou Ying heard about Li Zhi's affairs and felt more disdain in his heart.

In his opinion, or in the opinion of most people, Li Zhi's act of killing his teacher was indeed extremely bad.

But when Dou Ying also fell into the same situation as Li Zhi, Dou Ying had some different views on Li Zhi.

Even when he was on the run, he once wondered whether Li Zhi was in the same situation as him when he was wanted and on the run.

Thinking of this, Dou Ying couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

Now that he saw Li Zhi, whether it was because they were both from Yongguo or because they both had the experience of being hunted down and fleeing from the immortal sect, all of this caused Dou Ying's original look towards Li Zhi to undergo a subtle change.

The coldness in Dou Ying's eyes faded slightly. He curled his lips and replied, "Of course I've heard of Li Zhi, who murdered my teacher..."

Li Zhi could feel the hostility emanating from Dou Ying weakening, so when he heard Dou Ying's words, Li Zhi just smiled helplessly.

He said calmly, "Everything has a cause and an effect. The incident at the time involved many people, and I simply had no choice. Brother Dou has had similar experiences, so I think he understands how I feel."

Li Zhi's words made Dou Ying's hand, which was originally hidden in his sleeve, tremble slightly.

Dou Ying was originally a true disciple of Shushan and a genius. Is it really his own fault that he has fallen into such a state?

Back then, on top of Mount Shu.

Master Feng Wuya had a gloomy face, Junior Brother Wang Yang's life and death were unknown, the other uncles and aunts were watching coldly, and the brothers and junior brothers were staying out of it.

In the entire Shushan, no one dared to stand up and say a word for Wang Yang.

Only Dou Ying stood up fearlessly at that time.

However, the result Dou Ying got after he stood up was only that he ended up in disgrace.

The scenes at that time flashed through Dou Ying's eyes.

A self-deprecating sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking his past self.

Although Dou Ying's mood was slightly fluctuated because of this, he had experienced hardships and his character was no longer the same as before. Now his character was as solid as a rock and could not be easily shaken.

So, Dou Ying quickly recovered his composure.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi. Although his eyes no longer had the sharpness that they had when they first met, the gloom contained in them was enough to make Li Zhi alert.

After a moment's silence, Dou Ying finally spoke, "It's truly rare to meet someone from your hometown in such a foreign land. In that case, I won't trouble you any more. As long as you hand over the Star Heart, I'll let you go."

Li Zhi sighed. It wasn't that he hadn't tried to get the Star Heart out, but he simply couldn't. It was like the damn Star Heart was embedded in his eye, impossible to get out.

Li Zhi had a vague feeling that unless his left eye was taken out, there would be no way to take out the Heart of the Star.

So, facing Dou Ying's request, Li Zhi could only shake his head helplessly...
