The Snake King is right. The Seventh Sect occupies a natural danger. The sect is surrounded by cliffs. If you want to reach the Seventh Sect, there is only one mountain road that can pass through. And this mountain road is winding and winding, and many passes are extremely dangerous. One man can be used as a barrier. , Ten thousand people can’t describe it, it’s not an exaggeration!
What's more, Snake Spirit Mountain is full of poison barriers. One by one, a pair will die, and a pair will die. The reason why the disciples of Qixiu Sect will not be poisoned is because they take the sect's special poison-avoiding pills all year round. For poison barriers, Already completely immune.
Inside the secret room.
Seeing that Yin Batian looked hesitant and didn't say a word, the Snake King continued to persuade:
"Brother, although Li Zexuan is in a high position now, I don't believe that Li Shimin is willing to risk the lives of more than 10,000 people to avenge him, Li Zexuan? If those armies are really coming for us, we only need to set up ambushes at every pass. Even if someone is not poisoned by the poison barrier, he will be killed by the disciples of the Seventh Xiu Sect who ambushed in advance! We only need to kill until Li Shimin is heartbroken and withdraws his troops, and we will succeed!"
This guy is getting more and more arrogant now. He actually dares to call Li Er by his first name. If an outsider hears this, he will definitely be charged with treason.
However, Yin Batian had no reaction to this. Apparently he had heard similar words a lot. At this moment, he stared at the stone wall silently and thought for a long time before saying:
"But if this happens, wouldn't our Seventh Cultivator Sect be completely in opposition to the imperial court~? In the future, our disciples of the Seventh Cultivator Sect will be unable to move forward in the Tang Dynasty, and other martial arts righteousness will also attack us! After all, Junior Brother, you are Assassinating a court official for the first time is considered a taboo in martial arts!"
"Tsk~!"
After hearing this, the Snake King sneered and said: "Brother, why are you so indecisive today? There are only two choices left for you now, either hand me over in exchange for the court's understanding, or keep me and fight with the court to the end! After the news is over, we will go somewhere else to establish a new relationship. It’s just a sect!”
Having said this, the Snake King paused, a trace of sarcasm flashed across his face, and said:
"As for those decent martial arts sects, they are just a bunch of sanctimonious villains~! Haven't our Seventh Xiu Sect always been independent from the martial arts~? Why should we worry about their attitudes~?"
It has to be said that the Snake King is really arrogant, and he doesn't even look down on the three major martial arts sects in the Central Plains.
Yin Batian frowned. After pondering for a moment, he finally made a decision and said: "It is absolutely impossible for me, Yin Batian, to hand over my sect members. Now I can only fight with the imperial court to the end. If the imperial court is willing to withdraw, If we take one step forward, we will also take one step back!”
The Snake King smiled, cupped his hands and said flatteringly: "Haha~! Thank you so much, Senior Brother Gaoyi~!"
"Hmph~! You take good care of yourself~! I will arrange for a few disciples to go down the mountain to find out the news~!"
Suddenly encountering such a huge unreasonable disaster, Yin Batian felt a little unhappy. He waved his hand, confessed, and walked out of the secret room.
Inside the secret room.
The Snake King sat down again, but he was no longer interested in practicing martial arts to heal his injuries. He was thinking about Li Zexuan's plan to lead troops to besiege Snake Spirit Mountain.
"Ho ho ho~! Little bastard, you'd better come here in person this time, I will definitely kill you at Snake Spirit Mountain~!"
The snake king said something sinisterly, then he closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and continued to heal!
…………………………
Southeast of Chang'an City, Dunhuafang.
A wealthy residence.
Exquisite pavilions, quiet and beautiful ponds and water corridors, as well as large rockeries, ancient stages, and exquisite jade are all scattered in this huge courtyard.
I saw lush green trees, scorching exotic flowers, and a clear stream that zigzagged from the depths of the flowers and trees into the gaps between the rocks. A few steps further, gradually towards the north, it is flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides and carved embroidered thresholds, all hidden among the trees in the mountain col. Looking down, you can see the clear stream pouring snow, stone steps piercing the clouds, white stones as railings, surrounding the edge of the pool, stone bridges and three harbors, and beasts holding vomit in their faces.
Obviously, this is a very rich and expensive home!
"Uncle~! It is said that a large number of government officials were dispatched from Jingzhao Mansion yesterday afternoon, and a group of forbidden troops led by Dugu Xin left Chang'an City and headed for Qinling. They have not returned to the city until now!"
Deep in the courtyard, there is an elegant room with plenty of sunlight and luxurious furnishings. The windows are carved with various beautiful patterns, and there is a half-burned white candle on the table.
In the room, a young man bowed and said to the white-haired old man half lying on the couch in front of him.
The white-haired old man was like a dying man, always looking listless. After a long time, he asked:
"So, Li Zexuan has found out the origin of the Snake King~?"
The young man bowed and replied: "It's true! Since the assassination that day, the court has never given up on the pursuit of the Snake King, and according to reports from informants, Li Zexuan went to Jingzhao Mansion yesterday afternoon, and later Not long after he left, Jingzhao Mansion and Dugu Xin took action at the same time, so my grandson guessed that Li Zexuan probably had a clue about the Snake King!"
"Hmph~! It's not 80%, it's 100%~!"
The white-haired old man squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "Such recklessness is simply too little success and too much failure! But I didn't expect that Li Zexuan could find out the whereabouts of the Snake King so quickly. It seems that this kid can achieve what he has achieved now. It’s not a fluke~!”
"Then uncle...what should we do now~?"
The young man hesitated for a moment and asked aloud.
"What~? Xuanji, are you afraid~? Didn't you say you weren't worried at the beginning~?"
"Uncle makes atonement. My grandson is not afraid of personal honor or disgrace. But my grandson is afraid that his plan will bring disaster to the family!"
The young man said with sincerity.
"Haha~! Good boy~! I really saw you right~!"
The white-haired old man laughed loudly and said: "Xuanji, you don't have to worry. In fact, your plan this time is very good, but it's just an inhumane use~! Even if the stupid thing is caught and tells the truth, but it is empty talk, the court will not The reason is to condemn our family! Besides, it is still unknown whether the court can capture him alive~! Snake Spirit Mountain is not a good place~!"
"Uncle is wise~! Xuanji admires me~!"
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and said.
"Ha~! You kid, stop flattering me~!"
Although the white-haired old man said this, he could not hide the smile on his face. He waved his hand and continued:
"Xuanji, although this matter failed, you showed your uncle your wisdom, so don't be discouraged. You can think of other ways to get rid of this scourge of Li Zexuan these days! It's best to unite with other Li families. , There is strength in numbers~! Haha~!”
"Yes, uncle~!"
