It was late at night before Li Muchan returned to Liuxiang Pavilion.
Since a thrilling fight was about to begin in Chang'an City, he naturally had to familiarize himself with everything around him and not be careless.
What's more, now that he has decided to take action, the two envoys of water and fire must be killed.
Must die.
Only if these two people are dead, or if any of the protectors and kings other than him are dead, can the remaining members of the Demon Cult in the Central Plains Wulin be used by him and follow his lead.
This time, this time is crucial.
As long as you can survive and survive to the end, everything will be different.
Leaving aside whether he can become the Dragon Head in the Blue Dragon Society, he must not be passive anymore in the Demon Sect.
As for Shangguan Xiaoxian, this woman's current situation is actually similar to his.
Although he already has some strength and confidence, the chance of winning is still slim compared to the "Qinglong Society". That's why Shangguan Xiaoxian left the sword manual before, in order to cultivate him into a pivotal figure in the Demon Sect.
This man not only wants the martial arts in the Central Plains, but also has his thoughts on the Western Regions.
It's a pity that Li Muchan really doesn't want to hide his clumsiness and pretend to be stupid anymore.
So now the two sides are just using each other to achieve each other's achievements. The other side helps him gain power, while Li Muchan secretly helps him compete with the "Blue Dragon Society".
But, since Shangguan Xiaoxian just said she wanted to kill him...
Thinking of this, Li Muchan's eyes immediately darkened. If she could say this today, she would have to put it into action sooner or later.
He was only afraid of this woman and never believed her.
But at this point, the situation is like an arrow on the string, and there is no choice.
Shangguan Xiaoxian had no choice, and neither did he.
And this is a great opportunity. How can you miss it? It depends on who is more skilled.
The snow is thick and the night is deep.
When Li Muchan returned, someone was already waiting for him.
Waiting for him was a beautiful girl in Liuxiang Pavilion. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She was leaning on a pillar, yawning and shivering. When she saw him coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took a few steps to meet him.
"Where are the others?" Li Muchan asked.
The girl walked in front, led him to a private room on the second floor, and then said in a voice like a mosquito: "That man only said that we would wait for you to come back and take care of him, but he didn't say much."
"You?" Li Muchan turned to look at the bed, only to see a girl who was exactly the same as the girl in front of her under the quilt, with her head exposed and wrapped like a quail. He brushed the falling snow on his shoulders and said with a smile, " No need, you go and rest first."
After the two of them left angrily, Li Muchan walked around the room very vigilantly, and then quickly walked to the bed. Using the light on the table, he reached out and lifted up the mattress that still had the lingering fragrance on the bed. .
There was actually a blue cloth bundle hidden under the bed.
Li Muchan reached out and took it off. After seeing what was inside clearly, he couldn't help laughing.
By the light of the light, it turned out that there were actually the three stolen Demon Cult's three major protective magic arts inside.
With almost no hesitation, no lingering thought, he threw the package out of the window.
Just one after another, there was suddenly a lot of movement in Liuxiang Pavilion.
The door was pushed open, and the two envoys of water and fire walked in swaggeringly, as well as the third princess of the demon sect, Tie Gu.
The three of them had unkind expressions, and they were leading several members of the Demon Cult behind them.
The Fire Envoy laughed and said, "Thunder Envoy, you betrayed the Holy Religion, stole the divine power to protect the Religion, and colluded with the Qinglong Society. What crime should you do?"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows. He was just thinking about how to start, but he didn't expect these people to come to the door first.
The moment the three of them entered, they were already standing in separate directions, blocking the doors and windows.
Li Muchan was sitting on the bed, with his back against the wall, his hands in his sleeves, a knife across his leg, and the plum blossom needle hidden in his hand, and asked calmly: "Where is the evidence?"
There was not much expression on the water envoy's face, and he said calmly: "Search!"
Several demon sect disciples immediately rushed in and rummaged through the room. It wasn't until they lifted the mattress and saw that it was empty underneath that the water user's eyes became subtle.
Li Muchan smiled strangely, with undisguised mockery in his dark and deep eyes: "It seems there is no evidence."
The third princess, Tiegu, said coldly: "You are the latest among us to come, and you had the time to go out before. It's really hard not to make people suspicious."
However, Li Muchan stood up unhurriedly: "I have no choice. I lead a group of idiots and want to win. I can only put in more effort myself."
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle. Everyone's face suddenly turned cold, their eyes showed coldness, and there was a brewing murderous intention.
"Ahem," Li Muchan coughed calmly and cleared his throat, "Don't do anything yet. I have received news about the whereabouts of the Money Gang's secret treasure."
"Seriously?" The water user's eyes lit up, and his murderous intent suddenly disappeared, "Where did the news come from?"
Li Muchan glanced at him and said casually: "Do you think you are the only ones who have the secrets? If I die, the news that you guys have secretly stolen the Holy Religion's magical power and secretly plotted it will spread, and I guess the leader doesn't like to see it either. You protectors should get involved with the princess."
As he spoke, his heart actually felt a little cold.
Although the expressions on the faces of the people opposite him seemed calm, their auras also changed.
The four people's eyes intersected and looked at each other. Their expressions were reflected in the lamp and flickered between bright and dark, righteous and evil, and then they all laughed again.
The water envoy said hurriedly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
The fire envoy responded and said with a smile: "Offended, offended!"
Even Tiegu smiled and said, "I hope you can forgive me!"
Seeing the three people singing together, Li Muchan also smiled on his face. He smiled harmlessly. He took off his mask and said casually: "I heard that Ye Kai has arrived at 'Lengxiang Garden'. When?" Take action?"
The four of them suddenly sat down at the table, pouring tea and water, and looked very familiar with each other as if they were friends who had advanced and retreated together.
"This matter is entirely up to you, Commander Lei," Shui Commander put on a gentle look as if the old god was here, put his hands into his cotton sleeves, and said with a smile, "Except for Ye Kai and Shangguan Xiaoxian, all the people from Chang'an City are here. There are already the Eighth Prince of Baoding City Guards, 'Songyang Iron Sword' Guo Ding, 'Flying Fox' Yang Tian, 'Red Devil Hand' Yi Yeqiu, Donghai Yuxiao Taoist, and 'Feng Langjun' Ding Lin..."
As he spoke a series of names, Li Muchan couldn't help but look solemn. These famous figures who had only existed in rumors to him in the past were now going to fight against him.
Tiegu said softly: "These people are either martial arts giants with powerful hands and eyes, or they are masters of the martial arts world. They are not easy to deal with."
As usual, the Fire Envoy laughed strangely twice before saying, "Thunder Envoy, when do you want to take action? We all listen to you."
Li Muchan looked at the faces of the group of people. His pale and thin hand never let go of the knife beside him. His dark eyes turned to the lamp on the table and said softly: "Then let's do it tomorrow. Let's start tomorrow."
The water envoy suddenly asked: "You don't know the whereabouts of the Money Gang's secret treasure?"
Li Muchan looked at him sideways: "You also said it was a secret treasure. Since it is a secret treasure, you may not be able to get it just by knowing the location. You have to find the right key to open the door. Shangguan Xiaoxian is the key to unlocking the secret treasure... Compared with Those little gadgets you are coveting are the real good things inside; Shangguan Jinhong’s unrivaled martial arts skills in the past, as well as the secret skills of various sects that he collected, plus the treasures of a country that is as rich as any..."
At this point, several people's breathing became rapid and their eyes became red.
The water envoy made a decision immediately: "Okay, let's start tomorrow."
After discussing everything, the three of them left in a hurry.
Li Muchan sat at the table, listening to the howling wind outside the window. After a long while, he sighed softly and slowly drew his sword out of its sheath.
What he pulled out was not a hundred-forged steel knife, but a somewhat strange knife.
The scabbard was at least three feet long, but the knife was much shorter. The handle was wrapped in cloth, the spine was thick, the blade was jet black, and the edge glowed with a cold light that was about an inch long.
The moment the cold knife was unsheathed, a cold light shot through the air. Looking again, the flame flew silently to the tip of the knife, as if dancing.
Unconsciously, a layer of hard cocoon had formed on his tiger's mouth.
No, these calluses are already there.
In fact, he is no stranger to "knives", he is even very familiar with them. He has done many things over the years, and the blade he is most familiar with is probably the knife.
It's not the so-called "soul-chasing knife", but a pig-killing knife.
His hand holding the knife was also very steady, unusually steady. His pale right hand grasped it with one hand, the finger bones were clear and distinct, the muscles were stretched, and it was full of an indescribable vigor.
Martial arts does not necessarily refer to internal strength, but also skills. In the final analysis, sword moves and knife moves are all skills; the kind of skills that are constantly honed over and over again, pondering day and night, cutting and moving between the flesh and blood, and doing whatever you want.
On the way here, he made a special trip to the house of the butcher who used to learn how to butcher pigs, and bought the knife he used to use.
In the past, everyone thought that Jing Wuming was a left-handed swordsman, but who could have imagined that his right-handed swordsmanship was faster and more ruthless, making him unique in the martial arts world.
Now these people all regard him as Dao Twelve, a master who is proficient in the "Seventy-two Soul-Chasing Swords", but who would have thought that the scabbard of his long sword is hiding a life-threatening short sword.
As for the "Clavicle Ecstasy Heavenly Buddha Scroll", Li Muchan has not taken a look at it until now, because time does not allow, he is afraid that after seeing it, most of his mind will be used to ponder this martial art; and the most important thing at the moment is It is enough to stay alive first and use the "Ghost Secret Book" to protect yourself, and then face the powerful enemy wholeheartedly.
"Whoops!"
At first sight, the wooden window was wide open, letting in the wind and frost, and the fire was extinguished.
Li Muchan glanced sideways, and his body suddenly rose into the wind like a kite, swinging into the air. The tip of the knife stirred up and down, the wind and snow swirled, and the pieces of flying snow were shattered.
The sword was put away as soon as it shined, the wooden window was closed, and the sword was sheathed.
Just wait for dawn! ! !
