A Li watched Liu Xin finish speaking, the corners of his mouth pouted, his eyes filled with anger, he slapped the table with both hands, and stood up with a "swish"...
"but!"
Liu Xin stretched out his hand, pressed his palm down and said:
"Ali, listen to me!"
A Li looked at Liu Xin, her angry face suddenly turned into aggrieved, and tears were already welling up in her eyes. She waited obediently for Liu Xin to finish.
"However, your senior brother and I will help you without hesitation. Moreover, in addition to not wanting your 'subordinates' to die, I can say unceremoniously that except for the envoys in black, including Hall Master Lin, too If we are weak, it will drag us down!”
A Li heard that her brother was unwilling to help her, and the look on her face immediately changed from gloomy to clear. She nodded vigorously, expressing her agreement with Liu Xin's words.
Xuesheng shook her head helplessly, but when A Li looked at him, she immediately put on a smile and nodded firmly.
Lin You's face turned red after hearing Liu Xin's words. He stood up and said to Liu Xin:
"Our Baihun Sect is indeed weak now, but the sect leader has given an order, and my disciples must carry it out even if they die!"
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Hallmaster Lin, I don't want you to die, but there are things for you to do. For example, attract the enemy's attention and distract the enemy's strength."
Lin You was surprised and asked:
"Could it be that we were deliberately exposed so that Liu Tian could send troops to chase us?"
"Naturally, in this way, you can be considered to have played the greatest role."
"Then, the left and right envoys are still left to the sect master and the two young heroes. Their cultivation is still acceptable!"
Liu Xin thought for a while and said:
"It's still unnecessary. Without the left and right envoys, once you are overtaken by the Liutian Sect, it will be a dead end. With the left and right envoys, you can still resist for a while. In this way, you will set out tomorrow and walk one hundred and seventy miles east, where The Linglong Cave in Qianyu Mountain is a good place, there are only a few of you, if you just find a place to hide there, the Liutian Sect probably won’t be able to find you in ten and a half months.”
"this…"
Lin You was still hesitating.
"Ok, deal!"
Xue Sheng spoke out, her tone unquestionable.
Lin You sighed and nodded.
After that, Liu Xin and Xuesheng rested themselves, while A Li, as the sect leader, gave instructions to the few disciples under her sect.
In the evening of the same day, the left envoy of Baihunmen hurried over with two long knives stuck in his waist.
The two envoys on the left and right were sent out as scouts to guard the vicinity of this village. But at this time, when the Zuo envoy came back in a hurry, something important must have happened.
When Liu Xin and Xuesheng arrived, Zuo Shi told them what they had discovered.
"Hall Master Hong and the other Hundred Soul Sect disciples appeared in the woods about five miles west. They have discovered our traces in the woods last night, and they will probably find us here soon. The right envoy is keeping an eye on us."
"It seems we don't have time. Hall Master Lin, please quickly take your disciples to the east. A Li, you should follow."
Liu Xin said, but A Li snorted coldly and refused to leave.
"Junior sister, the 'no trace' technique that master taught you can just cover up the traces along the way. Although you haven't reached the level of proficiency yet, it can still delay a lot of time. We will not fight them head-on, we will just stay and mislead them."
"He's right, Ali, we will definitely rush over to find you!"
After Liu Xin and Xuesheng took turns to persuade, Ali finally agreed.
Without further ado, A Li and Lin You immediately left with the Hundred Soul Sect disciples.
Zuo Shi took Liu Xin and Xuesheng to where Hong Kun was.
in the woods
Hong Kun looked at the dense forest in front of him, with several Hundred Soul Sect disciples surrounding him.
"Lin You stayed here for a long time yesterday. What was he doing?"
Hong Kun said to himself.
The people around him are all elite members of the Hundred Soul Sect, and their cultivation level is second only to the black-clothed envoys.
One of the slightly fat Hundred Soul Sect disciples said:
"Hall Master, do we really want to help Baihun Sect catch Hall Master Lin and the others?"
Hong Kun smiled slightly when he heard this and said:
"How is that possible? Our Baihun Sect is still a family no matter what. But Lin You doesn't know why. It was very unwise to attack the Liutian Sect yesterday! I don't know what happened to him, or there are other reasons . In short, the prerequisite for everything is to find others first."
Not long after, the Hundred Soul Sect disciples who went out to investigate came back one after another, and the traces of Lin You and others were also discovered.
Hong Kun led a group of disciples to follow these traces and rushed to the village where Liu Xin and Xuesheng had stayed, only to find that there was no trace of them here.
And when asking the villagers here, most of them had no idea. Lin You and others only occupied two huts here, and the owners of the houses were not at home recently. They stayed here like ghosts for two days, and no villagers noticed them.
Just when Hong Kun was questioning the villagers, several Baihun Sect disciples came back with injuries, saying that they had discovered black-clad envoys in the south of the village, and that these disciples were all injured.
"Lin You, what are you playing?"
Hong Kun frowned and muttered in a low voice, and immediately gave the order to chase after him.
And along the traces along the way, they chased for a long time...
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xin, Xuesheng and the envoys in black caught up with A Li and others. They successfully led Hong Kun and his party in the wrong direction.
Xuesheng used his uncanny skills to erase their real traces and forged a wrong trace.
Although Lin You wanted to participate in the subsequent actions, Liu Xin and Xuesheng insisted not to agree. After a few brief exchanges, Liu Xin, Xuesheng and A Li set off back to Liotian City again. Lin You finally sent out envoys dressed in black on the grounds that he was trying his best to protect A Li.
Liu Xin made a request about this, that is, the envoys in black must leave them separately, so that the target will be much smaller. Moreover, Liu Xin still felt uneasy about Lin You and the others. They agreed to meet in a small courtyard in Liutian City, which was the location designated by Xuesheng.
Lin You was extremely surprised that Xuesheng could set up a foothold in Liutian City, but then he remembered the latter's identity, and it made sense.
Liu Xin just looked at Xuesheng. He knew that Xuesheng achieved this through the evil secrets, but he had been with him these days, but he didn't find out how he was connected with those secrets.
"Junior sister, are you sure you read it correctly?"
On the way, Xuesheng asked. And A Li nodded firmly, which made Xuesheng feel relieved.
"If that's the case, then let's have a free game!"
When Liu Xin saw Xue Sheng and A Li playing riddles that he didn't understand, it made him feel unbearable, and he couldn't help but ask A Li secretly.
"Ali, what are you and that boy talking about?"
A Li shook his head in a mysterious manner and said:
"How can I tell you, a righteous person, about my demonic ways?"
Liu Xin hummed and thought to himself:
"Why let's let it go? The most it will do is awaken the evil sect's undercover. You have the evil sect's undercover, but I don't have the Holy Sect's secret investigation team!"
It turns out that as the young master of the evil sect, Xuesheng’s trump card is the secrets of the evil sect buried in every inch of the righteous land. Liu Xin, the senior brother of Shengzong, also knew about Shengzong's secret investigation team in the land of Zhengdao. These people have always been the biggest support for Liu Xin and Xuesheng to stay alone in the enemy camp.
But Xuesheng and Ali exchanged glances frequently, and things were not as simple as Liu Xin thought.
I searched the outskirts of Liutian City for a whole day and night, but not even a single figure was seen. Hong Kun's face was full of gloom, and the close relatives around him did not dare to speak.
"Go back to Liutian City and see what Elder Qin can do."
So, Hong Kun returned to Liutian City, but he felt that there were subtle changes in Liuotian City.
At the entrance of Liutian Pavilion,
"Sorry, Hall Master Hong, the Great Elder is holding a meeting in Liutian Pavilion. Please wait outside."
A purple-robed disciple cupped his fists and said sorry to Hong Kun.
Hong Kun felt strange, but he didn't say anything. He didn't expect that he would wait until evening.
A purple-robed disciple came out of Liutian Pavilion and took Hong Kun into Liutian Pavilion.
There are almost ten posts in the Liutian Pavilion, and the guards are all formal disciples of the Liutian Sect wearing purple robes.
Entering Elder Qin's room, an elder deacon from the Liutian Sect and an old acquaintance of Hong Kun was also here.
"Elder Mo! You are here too."
Hong Kun said that what he saw was Mo Zhu, the deacon elder of the Liutian Sect. Hong Kun was a little surprised by his appearance. But among all the elders of the Liutian Sect, he has the closest relationship with Mo Zu.
"Hall Master Hong."
Mo Zhu saluted and said hello briefly, without any other expression.
"Hall Master Hong, did you let Lin You and his gang escape?"
Hong Kun's eyelids jumped when he heard this, how did Elder Qin know! He didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly explained:
"Elder Qin, Lin You's gang is as slippery as rats. However, I have sent a few smart people to continue searching, and they will notify me once they are found. I will catch them all by then."
Elder Qin nodded slightly, without any anger on his face, which made Hong Kun feel slightly reassured.
Elder Qin raised his tea cup and took a sip, then said calmly:
"Lin You and his gang can't get out of Lan Yin Mansion, so let them go. Now I have more important things here and I need your help."
Hong Kun was a little confused, once Lin You and his gang revealed what happened between the Liutian Sect and the Hundred Soul Sect. Even if there is no evidence, it is enough to cause quite a stir.
But Elder Qin didn't seem to care much about Lin You and the others. Even if the latter said or did something, he was still under control.
But he suppressed his doubts, replied yes, and then waited for Elder Qin to speak.
The next person to speak was Mo Zi.
"Hall Master Hong, there is a major event that requires our joint efforts. If successful, Hall Master Hong, your Hundred Soul Sect will benefit greatly. Within ten years, it will be able to restore its previous glory!"
Hong Kun's face was shocked. He was not a young man. Of course he would not believe such false words. However, Mo Zhuzi said this with great confidence, and Elder Qin seemed to acquiesce to his words.
The person who surprised and puzzled him the most was Mo Zi. He is the deacon and elder of the Liutian Sect, and his status is slightly higher than that of the purple-robed disciples of the previous generation. But excluding the seventeen elders of the Liutian Sect, the number of deacons and elders is also about thirty. And Mo Asphalt is only one-thirtieth of this.
But to be here at this moment and say such important words, he must be Elder Qin’s confidant. However, in the past few years, Hong Kun had no idea about the communication and connection between Mo Zhu and Elder Qin.
While Hong Kun was thinking carefully in his heart, Mo Zhihu smiled and said:
"Haha, Hall Master Hong should be thinking about what I said at the moment. Don't worry, even if my words don't carry enough weight, then what about Elder Qin!"
Hong Kun looked at Elder Qin, and saw that Elder Qin actually showed a smile that he had everything under control, and said confidently:
"Hong Kun, whether your Hundred Soul Sect can rise depends on how much effort you put in today. Follow Mo Zhu, he will tell you what to do."
Hong Kun said yes, and then followed Mo Zizi out of Liutian Pavilion in a daze.
"Elder Mo, Hong has many doubts. Please ask Elder Mo to answer some questions for Hong."
But Mo Zhu shook his head, then looked into the distance and said softly:
"Hall Master Hong, I don't know what Elder Qin's plan is. But I know that as long as you and I follow Elder Qin's instructions, great benefits are waiting for us, and success or failure depends on this!"
"Well, Hong understands. So what should we do next? Can Elder Mo make it clear?"
"Nancheng, I will take you to greet some distinguished guests tomorrow morning!"
At the same time, Liu Xin, Xuesheng and Ali Zhengmao, who had returned to Liutian City, were under the city wall outside the city. They suddenly discovered that the defense of Liutian City had been strengthened several times.
Originally, there were at most about ten disciples of the Liutian Sect on one city wall. But now, it’s almost every five steps and one post. Moreover, Liu Xin discovered with sharp eyes that among these disciples there were also disciples of the previous generation Liutian Sect with purple robes and golden threads.
With these experienced disciples in charge, the three of them could no longer enter Liutian City without leaving any traces.
Then the three of them could only wait silently, waiting for the gate of Liutian City to open in the early morning to see if they could take the opportunity to enter.
While waiting, Liu Xin was still digging into the secrets hidden in Xuesheng and A Li's words.
"Ali, your eldest brother is your father. At such a young age, you can't keep secrets in your heart. You have to tell your brother."
Liu Xin followed the instructions, and A Li's eyes relaxed slightly, as if he was hesitating and thinking.
"Junior sister! This is my master's matter. Although he is your brother, his mouth is leaking everywhere. If we tell him our secrets, wouldn't it be possible for them to be leaked out and ruin our big event!"
Xuesheng stopped Ali's mental breakdown in time. A defensive wall was built again in Ah Li's heart.
"Brother, you don't have to ask, A-Li won't tell you. A-Li is doing it for your own good, and A-Li won't harm you!"
Liu Xin glanced at the proud Xuesheng bitterly and nodded helplessly to A Li.
Then Liu Xin and Xuesheng asked about A Li's situation these days, and they were relieved after learning that A Li had not been frightened or hurt.
Although Liu Xin could not ask about the secrets of Xuesheng and A Li, he also guessed that the secret between them might be the reason that prompted them to come back to Liutian City.
"I don't care what the secret between you is, but is it too risky for us to return to Liutian City like this?"
"You are the senior brother of the Holy Sect. You are on the territory of the Righteous Sect. What are you afraid of?"
"Hmph, the Liutian Sect looks like a righteous sect? It abducts girls and cooperates with the Demonic Sect. There is still a conspiracy brewing behind the scenes. If such behavior is exposed, the Liutian Sect will be gone within seven days!"
"So, why is the Liutian Sect so bold? And haven't you noticed that those who are chasing us are only the disciples of the Hundred Souls Sect, and not a single member of the Liutian Sect. Are they not afraid that we will reveal their affairs?"
After Xuesheng finished speaking, Liu Xin raised his brows, as if he had figured out something key.
After Liu Xin thought for a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"If the Liutian Sect doesn't come after them, they must know that we can't escape. Even if we escape, we can't do anything to them. Therefore, Liutian City is not within the scope of their blockade. The Liutian Sect's sphere of influence is within their reach. It’s all under their control!”
Liu Xin took a breath and was about to continue speaking, but Xuesheng continued:
"Or, the entire Lan Yin Mansion is their real blockade! Only in this way can they leave us alone!"
Liu Xin nodded silently, agreeing with Xuesheng's statement. But if that's the case, what's the use of them returning to Liutian City?
Liu Xin glanced at Xue Sheng and A Li. Although their expressions were solemn, they did not show the same worry as him. This made him feel unhappy, because the reason for this situation could only be the secret that he didn't know.
Thinking like this, the heavy feeling brought by the Liutian Sect on him was slightly relieved, but the curiosity about the secret made him extremely uncomfortable.
Early morning, Liotian City
Earlier than usual, the four gates of Liutian City opened at the same time. Inside the city, not many people came out. On the contrary, outside the city, there were two or three times more people than usual, pouring into Liutian City.
Liu Xin, Xuesheng and A Li changed their clothes and mixed in the crowd. Regardless of whether it is a holy sect or an evil sect, disguise is a basic skill. If the three of them changed slightly, ordinary disciples of the Liutian Sect at the city gate would not be able to tell the difference.
The process of entering the city was very fast, but Liu Xin and Xuesheng broke into a cold sweat at the same time. Because they discovered that many of the people who entered the city together were similarly disguised, and by looking at their figures and steps, it was not difficult for Liu Xin and Xuesheng to see that they were all masters of cultivation.
There were so many such people, and this anomaly made Liu Xin and Xuesheng feel cold in their hearts. If these people were ambushing them, they might not be able to escape easily.
Fortunately, the last three of them entered the city smoothly. The three of them were in a small courtyard. Liu Xin and Xuesheng communicated for a long time about the city gate.
"At the gate of the city, I passed by at least three junior warriors, and there were no less than ten others with decent cultivation."
Liu Xin said.
Xuesheng nodded and said:
"I'm about the same as you. I found out that at least four of them are Xiaocheng. With so many masters, what is the Liutian Sect going to do?"
"I don't know. Anyway, it must be a big move. It seems that we came at the wrong time. Otherwise..."
"You can leave, my junior sister and I are here. We must rescue those little girls before we leave!"
"Yeah! Senior brother is the best!"
"Brother is not bad either! What I want to say is, how about we act as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"
"We still have to wait for the envoys. We will take action after the agreed time. When we entered the city, I had already received news from An Zi that many strange warriors came here. But the specific situation cannot be known, the city has been under martial law!"
After Xuesheng finished speaking, Liu Xin fell into silence, and Ali also saw the danger in Liutian City at this moment, and couldn't help but regret it secretly in his heart.
If she wasn't so insistent on saving them, wouldn't it be necessary for her senior brother and senior brother to take risks here, even though... they have a super powerful back-up man?
Just when Hong Baili and the others entered Liutian City, in a high-rise building and deep house in Liutian City, a group of people gathered together, discussing anxiously.
"Second Elder! Many mysterious warriors from our Liutian sect came here early in the morning, and their cultivation levels are not low. A storm is coming!"
A middle-aged bearded warrior, wearing a purple robe with gold thread, his voice was like thunder.
The white-bearded old man wearing a purple-gold robe frowned when he heard this and said:
"Wang Jia! Your master's ears will be deafened by you!"
Next to the white-bearded old man, a red-faced old man also wearing a purple-gold robe showed an angry look, looked at the bearded warrior and angrily said:
"Boy, don't you know we are having a secret meeting! The sound is so loud, are you not afraid of others hearing it?"
When the bearded middle-aged warrior named Wang Jia heard the red-faced old man reprimanding him, his face was full of grievances, and he could only mutter:
"Disciple, don't you dare! Master, your voice is not soft either..."
The white-bearded old man looked helplessly at the red-faced old man, collected his thoughts and said:
"Well, let's do this for now. Fifth Elder, please be quiet."
The red-faced old man nodded and stopped talking.
The white-bearded old man nodded and continued:
"Everyone, I have called everyone together today because my worries three years ago really happened today."
After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, no one among the dozen or so people present showed a look of surprise or confusion, which showed that they were already well aware of this matter.
The white-bearded old man continued:
"Three years ago, I accidentally discovered the strange behavior of the Great Elder. After investigation, I found that Elder Qin had many connections with other sects in Lan Yin Mansion. When I informed the Supreme Elder about this, he only said that it was okay. But I always I feel that the Great Elder’s matter is a bit strange. He was not a disciple of our Liutian Sect at first. He defected to our Liutian Sect when he was more than 20 years old, and the Supreme Elder took him in. Later, because of his high level of cultivation and decades of hard work, he was very good. He went to the camp and became the great elder. When the Supreme Elder was there, he was very cautious about his career and did everything for the Liutian Sect. But after the Supreme Elder retired, many strange things were revealed. Finally, today he revealed himself as a fox. Tails! I have already found out some of the mysterious warriors who came today. Many of them are disciples of the Kunli sect, the overlord of Hongyin Mansion in the north of Lanyin Mansion! I can almost conclude that Elder Qin is the Kunli sect. The spies sent out!”
"Grandma...!"
"Shut up!"
Just as the bearded warrior Wang Jia wanted to speak out, the Fifth Elder angrily told him to shut up.
The fifth elder glared at Wang Jia, and then said to the white-bearded old man:
"Second Elder, what should we do next? First Elder...well, Qin Long has many masters on his side, there are many disciples of Kunli Sect, and there are many warriors from unknown forces. We may not have enough power in our hands."
The white-bearded old man held his beard and frowned, nodded and replied:
"We have too few manpower. We have to rely on the Supreme Elder to take action at this moment."
"Second Elder, let me go then."
As soon as the white-bearded old man finished speaking, the bearded warrior Wang Jia raised his hand and spoke in a loud voice.
The white-bearded old man frowned even more, but he nodded and said:
"You are the most suitable for this matter!"
After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, no one present had any objection.
Wang Jia chuckled and said nothing. After the white-bearded old man and others had completed their deliberations, the meeting ended. The white-bearded old man left Wang Jia alone and said:
"Wang Jia, you are the most talented among the second-generation disciples. Originally, the position of elder of the Criminal Law Hall was yours, but the final result was unexpected. You should understand why!"
Wang Jia lost his previous carelessness and said seriously:
"Second Elder, Wang Jia understands that I am both a fool and a warrior. My target should not be some mere elder!"
The white-bearded old man's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Wang Jia to think so thoroughly. He originally wanted to enlighten and explain, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
But the old man with white beard still had doubts, so he asked:
"I didn't expect Wang Jia to think so thoroughly. Did you come up with it yourself?"
Wang Jia nodded and said steadily:
"My master told me this secretly, so I kept it in my heart and told no one. But you are the second elder and older than my master. I will tell you, but don't tell my master!"
The white-bearded old man was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh. The name of Liutian Sect's martial arts idiot was not Wang Jia's.
Finally, the white-bearded old man gave some instructions:
"If you go to Qingfeng Pavilion, you will inevitably encounter obstacles. Remember that you have only one goal, which is to see the Supreme Elder as soon as possible!"
Wang Jia responded with a clasped fist and a deep voice.
Then Wang Jia turned around and left. The white-bearded elder watched him leave with complicated eyes.
Great Elder Qin Long must have thought of this. The road to Qingfeng Pavilion would not be much simpler than that in Liutian City. But looking at our own lineup, only Wang Jia can handle this important task.
The white-bearded old man sighed secretly and slowly walked out of the house.
Not long after the white-bearded old man left, a figure fell from the roof of the high-rise mansion, and then sped away in the direction of Liutian Pavilion.
But the figure did not appear in front of Liutian Pavilion in the end. Instead, he slowly fell to the ground in a small alley less than a street away. In front of him was the Fifth Elder who had previously held a secret meeting in a high-rise building.
The fifth elder glanced coldly at the fallen body, turned and left.
In Liutian Pavilion, Elder Qin sat at the top, and seven people sat below. The last one is his biological son, Fu Wenliu, the elder of the Criminal Law Hall of the Liutian Sect.
With his status, he would be at the bottom, so one can imagine the high status of the six people in front of him.
Several people were closing their eyes to rest, but they saw a purple-robed disciple coming in from outside the door, bowing to Elder Qin who was above him, and then said:
"Elder Qin, Du Hong's body was found on Liuitian Pavilion West Street. He sealed his throat with a sword!"
Elder Qin nodded, waved his hand for the disciple to leave, then smiled mockingly and said:
"Li Jian made a wrong choice in the end, hum. Everyone, it's time to start, prepare to take the Liutian Sect into your pocket! With your ears closed, can you be sure to keep the road in front of Qingfeng Pavilion by peeling off your feet and hands?"
Elder Qin asked the next person.
A warrior who looked like an old man with a gray beard sitting next to him for the first time spoke and replied:
"Dragon Protector, although we are juniors, we still have to say something rude. The Eight Great Vajras of the Kunli Sect are taking action, and the Liutian Sect can easily win it! And with the elder brother here, even if Jiang Buwei comes, he can how!"
Elder Qin smiled and said nothing, but turned his gaze to the bald middle-aged man sitting in the lower seat who still closed his eyes to rest.
The bald middle-aged man closed his eyes tightly, shook a string of diamond beads in his hand, and said:
"Capture Liutian City within three days, otherwise Protector Tiger will laugh at me with the news of the victory over the Gong Hezong!"
"yes!"
After the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, the other five people stood up with a bang and responded in unison.
