A day and night of banquets announced the complete rise of the "Tianxia Alliance". This force that made the "Excalibur Villa" retreat, the "Money Gang" was afraid of, and the "Blue Dragon Club" was helpless, finally made the entire world obsessed with it. Look sideways, shocked.
As the leader of the alliance, Li Muchan is unparalleled in the limelight and attracts the attention of the world.
There is also a lot of news coming from the world.
The remnants of the demon sect were torn apart. Some returned to the countries in the Western Region, some gathered in the Yao Lake Demon Palace, and some were recruited by the "Qinglong Society" and the "Money Gang" respectively. They completely fell apart and were shared by all parties.
And Qiu Xiaolou, the once arrogant leader of the Demon Cult, has long since disappeared, and has escaped with his family without a trace.
In addition, the "Sword Villa" family moved north and retreated to Huashan.
There were also many twists and turns. The young master of the Murong family, Murong Qiudi, broke the family engagement and left with Xie Xiaofeng.
I thought it was a drama about childhood sweethearts and two lovers, but unexpectedly, Sun Xingyu appeared in the middle, and the two women fought. After learning that the master of the Yaohu Demon Palace was actually pregnant with Xie Xiaofeng's flesh and blood, all parties were in an uproar. .
The Xie family, which held high the banner of exterminating demons and defending the Tao, actually got involved with the Demon Cult. The third young master, who had gathered countless honors, actually had an affair with the demon sect's witch.
The most ridiculous thing in the world! ! !
The Bai Dao Zheng faction headed by "Excalibur Villa" has lost face since then and has become a laughing stock.
…
It's late winter in a blink of an eye.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, Li Muchan sat quietly on a futon. He looked at the desolate world and the dark, deep lake water, feeling the deep and cold breath, as if he was lost in thought.
The black hair on the back was pulled to the ground, the ink robe was rolled up, and Li Muchan stretched out his straight and slender, but pale as snow index finger.
With a slight twist, ripples suddenly appeared in the lake, and a drop of water jumped into the air and fell into his fingers.
"Bang!"
However, as a majestic and deafening bell sounded like a huge thunder, the water droplets instantly collapsed and splashed on the palm of the hand.
Where did the bells come from?
It turns out that in the depths of Pinghu Lake and on the surrounding hills and mountains, there are twelve huge bronze bells weighing more than a thousand kilograms each hanging.
Each bronze bell is accompanied by two strong men, each holding a heavy hammer in their hands. Each big bell strikes once every half an hour, each time it strikes eighteen times hard and eighteen times slowly, not too hard or not. Slowly knock eighteen more times, and repeat this twice, for a total of one hundred and eight times.
If the twelve copper bells ring in sequence, it will be the cycle of morning and evening.
Then, the twelve bells will ring a total of one hundred and eight times, and the bells will ring in unison, which is earth-shattering, causing tsunamis and landslides.
As soon as the bell rang, Li Muchan's calm eyes were filled with ripples like the surface of the lake. He was also depressed and bored. His wet palms clenched tightly in an instant, with the knuckles exposed and blue veins popping out.
He is not a monk, and he never likes to listen to the deafening bells, but he needs concentration, which must be invisible even if the mountain collapses.
Only with sufficient concentration can you be qualified to practice the "Shadowless Divine Art".
Li Muchan had been listening to the bell for two days, and it was painful and grinding her teeth.
But he still endured it because the murderous intention was coming.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A bell followed immediately by another.
Li Muchan took a deep breath and closed his eyes again, but his temples gradually began to tremble in response to the sound of the bell, and his cheeks became tense.
He has handed over the affairs of the Tianxia Alliance to Qiu Shuiqing and Jin Laoqi, and Tie Yan and Li Yaoshi have something to do.
Some people are responsible for appeasing the martial arts families in the south of the Yangtze River, some are responsible for commanding the elites of the Demon Cult, and some are responsible for many waterway heroes, and Medicine Master Li... has begun to control the gold and silver circulation of the "Tianxia Alliance", and also takes care of Ye'er.
In the eyes of others, Li Muchan was very fond of this woman, almost treating her as a confidant and right-hand man, but this was normal. After all, the two had advanced and retreated together, and had gone through several lives and deaths, so it was natural that Li Yaoshi should be reused now. He is the general manager of the "Tianxia Alliance" and no one is dissatisfied.
Some people even regard this woman as the wife of the alliance leader, and believe that she will truly get this title in the future.
The chaos has just been settled, and there are many things that need to be done.
Li Muchan almost gave most of his power to these people, while he himself sat alone in a lonely pavilion.
This solitary pavilion, surrounded by water on all sides, seems to be in an excellent position, standing alone above the rivers and lakes, looking arrogant in all directions, but in fact it has been invisible and trapped in a small space, with no way to retreat and no way to advance.
Dilemma.
In the midst of suffering, the bell finally stopped.
The sound of oars breaking through the waves suddenly came from the lake.
Without opening his eyes, Li Muchan could smell an elegant and clean fragrance, and also heard the delicate footsteps and gentle breathing. In this way, the person who came must be another stunning beauty.
The sound of breaking waves was approaching, and the oarsman rocking the oar wore a bamboo hat, carried a knife at his waist, and pretended to be cold-eyed. It was Du Lei.
The people on the boat had already boarded the Guting Pavilion, and their tone was delicate and clear, and they said clearly: "Murong Qiudi of the Murong family has met the alliance leader!"
Li Muchan sat still and didn't open his eyes, as if waiting for the other party to reveal his purpose.
Du Lei didn't say anything, just like a piece of wood. After seeing the people off, he punted and left.
"My father has been ill recently, and the young woman has temporarily taken over the position of head of the family. I came here today to show my loyalty," Murong Qiudi said.
"I heard that Murong Zheng was so angry with you that he vomited blood? Did he break up with the Mao family?"
Li Muchan finally spoke. His voice was still so soft, but his words were as sharp as a knife. The person behind him became pale and breathless.
The Mao family is also one of the four major families in Jiangnan, and the young master is the one who entered into the marriage contract with Murong Qiudi. Now the young master of "Qixingtang" failed to elope with Xie Xiaofeng, and competed with the demon sect's enchantress for a husband, almost ruining the reputation of both families. Murong Zheng was so angry that he fell ill, vomited blood again and again, and only half of his life was left. .
Murong Qiudi sobbed softly: "I am unfilial."
Li Muchan didn't move at all and said softly: "Don't worry, I am not so stingy. You, Qixingtang, are also one of the heroes on the Jiangnan waterway. If you manage it well, you will definitely shine in the future."
Murong Qiudi said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Sir, for disregarding the past grudges!"
She looked at the back of the lonely figure sitting in the pavilion, hesitated for a moment and then whispered softly: "The little girl has something she doesn't know whether to say or not."
Li Muchan said calmly: "Tell me."
Murong Qiudi said softly: "Young Master's 'World Alliance' seems to have unlimited glory now, but in fact it is already in danger. If you are not careful, it will be overturned. It will be like a dream that comes to nothing."
Li Muchan said nothing.
Murong Qiudi took the opportunity to take a few steps forward, bowed slightly, then half-knelt, with his head hanging down, as if he was loyal, but he whispered in a low voice: "Hasn't the young master ever been wary of your chief steward?"
Li Muchan said calmly: "What's wrong with her?"
Murong Qiudi said softly: "Her method is very special. It is Miao poison. She is good at using poison to control people. If she has different intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once such a person betrays, I'm afraid your All his cronies will be controlled by him and will be at his disposal, and all allies will immediately switch sides. If there is another backer behind this person, then your grand hegemony will become someone else's wedding dress, just like Qiu Xiaolou... maybe, You are now poisoned, and you are surrounded by enemies everywhere, but you don't even know it."
"Are you doubting her?"
"I don't dare, the little lady is just reminding the leader."
"Remind me of what?"
"Perhaps I am more suitable than her to serve you and follow you."
"Are you sure you won't betray me?"
"At least compared to the consequences of betrayal, my harm is far less than that of the chief manager."
"what do you want?"
"The little girl doesn't dare to ask for anything. She just wants to help the young master conquer the northern martial arts world. If possible, I also want to destroy the Divine Sword Villa."
The two of them asked questions and answered questions quickly.
"Alas," Li Muchan breathed a sigh of relief, "If you are brave, it seems that there is another strange woman in the world."
Murong Qiudi's tone became softer and softer, like the wind, her words came out inaudibly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Li Muchan was silent for a moment and said softly: "Come to me!"
Murong Qiudi Shiran stood up, walked to Li Muchan, and then knelt down on one knee.
When their eyes met, this person was indeed a beautiful girl, with icy muscles and jade bones, willow eyebrows like smoke, a scarlet dress tightly wrapped in a snow-white cloak, a pair of clear eyes that seemed to hide the rain in the April season in the south of the Yangtze River, full of A touch of sadness.
"Then you should understand that it is very risky for you to meet me now." Li Muchan said.
Murong Qiudi lowered her eyes and said something very unusual: "It is both a risk and an opportunity."
"Okay," Li Muchan's eyes showed appreciation and he grinned widely, "I'll give you a chance, but you have to wait, it won't be too long."
Murong Qiudi's eyes shone brightly, and she bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master."
After saying that, she retreated to the stone steps outside the pavilion.
Not long after, Du Lei arrived in the boat again, carrying the girl away again.
Li Muchan stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the pavilion. For a long time, until the bell rang again, he smiled slightly, but then his expression straightened, his tongue touched the roof of his mouth, and he took a sharp breath. The arrow penetrates the throat, enters the abdomen, and reaches the sea of qi.
The internal energy accumulated in his Dantian seemed to be pushed forward instantly, and he began to move along the path of luck of the "Phaseless Divine Art".
Gradually, the sinister power created by the "Ghost Secret Book" and the Buddhist power created by the "Demon Palm of the Heavenly Buddha" were mobilized.
Li Muchan clasped his hands together and his eyelids trembled. There was a faint brilliance in the palm of one palm, and a dark energy in the other palm, which was unspeakably evil. However, all these changes happened as his two palms rubbed against each other, and the two energies It's like water and milk blend together, showing signs of becoming one.
Colorless, formless, lawless.
Outside the solitary pavilion, the bells were ringing continuously, and some people wanted to swallow up the heaven and the earth, and the energy covered the mountains and rivers.
