On the outskirts of Jinling, by the green lake.
A ethereal figure blending into the night walked over, arriving quietly.
But when he saw the person coming, he didn't stop. He jumped up and swept across the lake like the wind. He ducked into the mountains lined with tombs and rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
After a few ups and downs, when he stopped, under the bright moonlight, a magnificent but lifeless villa came into view.
The "Excalibur Villa" that was once famous all over the world has been deserted this morning. Even if the spring weather is just right, it can't hide its desolation.
The visitor gathered all his energy, climbed over the high wall, climbed into the villa, and walked quickly. He only slowed down when he arrived in front of a large hall that was set against the mountain.
I think the Xie clan had withdrawn in too hastily. Looking around, I could still see a lot of stands holding weapons, as well as rusty and mottled swords.
Trampling on the rotten leaves and shells under their feet, the visitor entered the hall.
Through the moonlight coming in from outside the hall, it can be vaguely seen that this place seems to have been patronized and looted by outsiders. It is in a mess and is everywhere.
On the walls on both sides, countless sword boxes were placed horizontally. Unfortunately, they were already empty, leaving only thick dust and tangled spider webs.
The moonlight fell on the pale face of the visitor, and his features became clear. It was Li Muchan.
He was just taking stock of everything in the palace when a figure suddenly flashed out of the darkness and said coldly: "You arrived ten days later than promised."
The person who came was wearing a golden mask and carrying two swords on his back. He was the leader of the second alliance.
Then he seemed to notice something, twitching his nostrils and sniffing, and then remained silent for a short time. While backing away, he said suspiciously: "You couldn't have fallen..."
Li Muchan's face darkened and she hurriedly said, "Stop it."
He really didn't want to think about everything he had experienced in the past ten days.
The two of them swept out of the hall almost in tandem and headed straight for Cuiyun Peak.
But I saw that the steep mountain peak was shaped like a sword. It was originally a thousand-foot-high wall, as steep as a chip. However, both sides lifted up vertically, like white cranes soaring into the sky, flying in the air like using their own strength to control the wind, until the upward momentum gradually slowed down. Just now, I stepped on the stone and the wall, climbing up step by step.
There was a biting wind in the ears, and the two of them were speechless all the way until they reached the top of the mountain and then stopped.
But I saw that there was a bamboo hut on the top of the peak.
Once here, the second alliance leader took off his mask, revealing a feminine and beautiful face.
This person is none other than the deceased second young master of Shenjian Villa, Xie Longteng.
The top of the peak is a medium-sized flat area with stone tables and benches, with tea on it, and a dozen homing pigeons on the side.
"The news comes from Jin Laoqi. He has led his people to hide in the Yellow River waterway beforehand. It will be safe." Xie Longteng said.
Li Muchan looked back and saw that the vast world was in full view. In the distance, he could faintly see thousands of lights belonging to Jinling City, as vast as a sea of stars.
"The elite demon sect led by Tie Yan and his two men have begun to march north."
"Where's Qiu Shuiqing?"
"There is no big problem with Qiu Shuiqing. His family members have been secretly arranged. However, this man also has a hidden woman who is Gong Ziyu's spy in 'Peacock Villa'."
"what is it call?"
"Zhuo Yuzhen, this person is the daughter of Ni Baofeng, the master of Zhenbao Pavilion."
"Still alive?"
"Alive... In order to ensure that everything is safe, the three alliance leaders tried the mind-intimidation technique. As a result, this person even told eight generations of his ancestors. Now he is possessed by the mind-intimidation technique, and after being bewitched by the three alliance leaders, he only regards Gong Ziyu as his enemy. , leaving a hidden trick... As for the remaining aristocratic families, most of them have already taken refuge in the Qinglong Society..."
The two of them asked one question and the other said it. The questions were not rushed and the answers were slow and leisurely.
"It doesn't matter," Li Muchan sat on the stone bench, "They are just a bunch of wallflowers. This kind of people are the easiest to deal with. As long as the general trend tilts in one direction, they will fall in that direction."
While he was talking, Xie Longteng had already brought out two jars of wine from Jianlu.
"There is another matter related to the Shangguan clan."
Li Muchan took the wine and took a sip: "What?"
Xie Longteng said with slight surprise: "Earlier, I learned that Shangguan Jinhong was once a member of the Qinglong Society, so I investigated it secretly. I thought that the Shangguan family was also a long-standing family in Luoyang City, but unexpectedly I discovered something .”
He looked at Li Muchan and marveled: "It turns out that the Shangguan clan is not from China."
Li Muchan said "Oh" and became interested: "Aren't you from the Central Plains?"
Xie Longteng took an ancient classic from beside him, turned out a page, and pointed out: "This Shangguan Jinhong was born decades ago. He was one of the masters recruited by the Qinglong Society, and at that time the Shangguan family As soon as he appeared in this world, he was already rich in wealth, so he was responsible for managing the financial resources in the 'Qinglong Society' and was one of the twelve hall masters."
Li Muchan looked at the place pointed out by Xie Longteng, which recorded a foreign country outside the Central Plains.
"Jinpeng Dynasty?"
"Yes." Xie Longteng nodded and said in a deep voice, "I asked Tie Yan and the two of them that the Jinpeng Dynasty does exist. Although it is only a small country, it is very wealthy, and the royal family of this dynasty has the surname Shangguan."
Li Muchan hugged the wine jar, thought for a moment and said, "Are you trying to say that the Money Gang wants to dominate the martial arts world on the surface, but secretly plans to plot the Central Plains?"
Xie Longteng shook his head: "This speculation is actually just my one-sided statement and cannot be fully believed. However, if there is another backer behind the Shangguan family, then the strength shown by the 'Money Gang' will not be just what it appears on the surface. You must be on guard against it.”
You must know that no matter how small a dynasty is, it is still a dynasty.
If this matter is true, in comparison, it seems that the "Tianxia Alliance" is the weakest among the three parties.
Li Muchan nodded and said, "I have now reached an alliance with Shangguan Xiaoxian. She will not burn bridges until we succeed. Moreover, in addition to the 'money gang' to be wary of, there are also individuals to be careful of."
He immediately told Bai Yujing's existence from beginning to end, and now even Xie Longteng's face became serious.
Originally, several of them did not agree with Li Muchan's plan to cheat his death, especially the plan to turn the "Tianxia Alliance" from light to dark. After all, it was not easy to get to this point. As a result, Li Mu hadn't even fought or even seen the enemy. Cicada retreats without a fight, making this seemingly stupid decision.
But now that a series of things have happened, and various forces have surfaced one after another, he already has some admiration for Li Muchan's ability to see the opportunity and make a decisive decision. Otherwise, if he really wants to take action, or if he hesitates for a moment, "the world" "Alliance" is a piece of fat that can be divided among others.
Xie Longteng's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a sword wound left by Li Muchan on his throat. The sword seemed fatal, but it was just a skin injury, and it was actually just a fake death. This method uses golden needles to close acupuncture points, combined with special herbs to paralyze the heart, and is supplemented by techniques such as turtle breathing to bring the person infinitely close to death.
At that time, Xie Longteng really wanted to die.
At the beginning of the competition between the two, Li Muchan was at a disadvantage. However, with the accumulation of experience and tempering, and after countless battles, Li Muchan later caught up. In addition to inferior internal strength, his sword skills, sword moves, and even... Some prostitutes and heretics caught up with the second young master of the Xie family at an extremely alarming speed.
Until the last battle, Xie Longteng lost a single move to him, and became despondent and wanted to die.
But Li Muchan didn't want to kill him anymore.
So the two made a bet on whether the cheating death could be discovered.
If it is discovered, Xie Longteng will kill himself on the spot. If it is successful, then Xie Longteng will live with another identity.
So Li Muchan only killed Xie Longteng back then.
Xie Longteng sighed: "This world is getting more and more interesting. This is how I feel."
Li Muchan nodded: "Now that everything is ready, it depends on Gong Ziyu's methods."
It's really fast.
Seven days later.
On the top of Cuiyun Peak, the two people who were meditating and practicing Qigong opened their eyes together.
But in the distant sky, a spark rose straight into the sky and then bloomed.
The Azure Dragon Sweeps the World is coming! ! !
