"No grudge!" The swordsman in white said sternly: "There has not been a young master like you in the world for a long time, and you have a great reputation. If I defeat you, some people will believe that the so-called master in the world, No matter how dazzling they are, they are still just people who are just chasing fame, and they may not have much real talent!"
Li Xiudao: "It turns out that you sharpen your sword for others to see. Isn't this also a case of 'fishing for fame'?"
The swordsman in white was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that this man, like Pang Gu, was actually a person who was good at talking and fighting, but he said without changing his expression: "It is true that I used the wrong words, but this does not hinder what I want to express. I mean, are you right?"
Li Xiu's heart moved, and his smile became brighter, but there was a hint of vigilance in his heart. This person is far from what he seems on the outside. Li Xiu just made a small joke, but the other party actually looked at himself and admitted that he had used the wrong words. This seems easy, but for a sharp swordsman, it is very difficult. It’s really rare! Moreover, the swordsman in white didn't refute Pang Gu's wonderful words just now. Instead, he seemed to have humbly accepted them.
But the result is that no one can shake his desire to sharpen his sword.
This is someone Li Xiu rarely sees. Not to mention the younger generation, many masters from the older generation often only get irritated during verbal confrontations with Li Xiu!
"You want a fair fight with me?" Li Xiu said.
The swordsman in white said: "Of course it's a fair fight. I won't take any advantage of you, so I have changed my mind. After you resolve the grudges here and return to Hancheng to recuperate for seven days, I will declare a challenge. I will compete with you in the fairest way, how dare you challenge me!"
Li Xiu didn't nod immediately, but pointedly pointed out: "You can't convince people by saying this!"
"As long as you nod and agree, I will leave here immediately!" said the swordsman in white.
"Okay!" Li Xiu nodded.
"That's refreshing! I hope you won't disappoint me! As far as I know, today's Fenglei Pavilion is not easy to deal with!"
"Thank you for reminding!"
Meeting such a young swordsman, Li Xiu said that he did not want to compete, which was indeed against his Taoist conscience. The other party likes to sharpen his sword, so why doesn't Li Xiu want to do clinical experiments?
"My name is Sword Spirit!" The swordsman in white nodded when he saw Li Xiu agreeing. He returned his sword to its sheath. After saying this, he turned around and left. No matter how Qin Wushen tried to persuade him to stay, it would be of no use.
Li Xiu and Pang Gu looked at each other thoughtfully. Pang Gu also promised the master of the Demonic Ape Clan in Dongping Mansion that there would be a fair contest soon, and the stick in his hand is still here with Dean Pangda. Unexpectedly, Li Xiu would agree to a battle with such a swordsman so soon!
Publicly or privately, this is something that cannot be refused face to face.
Qin Wushen's face darkened when he saw the swordsman in white, Sword Spirit, being told to leave after just a few words. This was too unreliable! But after thinking about it, I realized that the other party had not made any promise to me.
Too careless...
He had the urge to run away immediately, but he knew that he couldn't run away from Li Xiu and the others because he was already firmly locked. As long as he escaped, he would have to deal with a joint attack from Li Xiu and the others. This was too risky. .
"Uh..." Qin Wushen turned around and looked at the trio with a look of fear.
"Hey, why don't you go to heaven? Keep dancing!" Li Xiu raised his chin and asked with a smile, a look of teasing on his face. Pang Gu and Qiao Fu also stared at Qin Wushen with sneer on their faces.
At this moment, Qin Wushen was very embarrassed and worried.
"Speaking of which, we are all in the same camp, but you are too shameful. You are an unworthy person. You surrendered without a fight and bowed your knees. As the leader of the Su Laodian sect, how can you face your ancestors from Fenglei Pavilion? Ancestor?" Li Xiu spoke boldly and taught Qin Wushen a lesson as if he were lecturing his grandson.
Qin Wushen stared at Li Xiu with an extremely ugly face, wishing he could eat him alive.
"Give you a chance, is it a one-on-one fight or a group fight? What you just said was so beautiful. You said you deliberately lured us into a trap. You shouldn't just rely on the sword spirit, right?" Li Xiu continued to press.
Qin Wushen said: "Young man named Li, don't be so arrogant! No matter what means you use, you still have to kill or scrape? Huh! You only have a few days left to live. There is no one left alive under the sword spirit. In his hands Even those madmen in the capital are extremely afraid of that sword. I believe that after killing you, he will go to the capital to challenge them. How can a casual cultivator like you compare with others? As far as I can tell The intelligence, you have never even been to the capital, you are just like a rat, you don’t know the heights of the world, and you are talking nonsense here!"
"Sword Spirit and I will fight sooner or later. It's too early to say this now!" Li Xiudao: "Of course I will go to the capital. Of course I have my own reasons for staying in the north. How can someone like you understand this? Nonsense. Stop talking and tell the truth, are the demons planning to open a second soul-nurturing place in Fenglei Pavilion?"
Qin Wushen's eyes flashed. Although he hid it well, he did not deceive Li Xiu.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? This is Fenglei Pavilion's own business, what does it have to do with you?" Qin Wushen said in a deep voice.
Li Xiudao: "It has nothing to do with me, but the population war is a century-old plan. If there is a big disaster in the future, as long as the population is in hand, even if the world is destroyed, as long as we are lucky enough to survive, we can still lead the population to continue to multiply! Even now I can’t even talk about this, but there are already so many soul-nurturing places in the Demonic Kingdom, and countless people have been imprisoned. Have you ever thought about it carefully, why are they still not satisfied and want to come to Shangbei County to plunder the population? I Seeing that you, as the leader of Su Lao, are quite powerful and good at calculations, you will not betray the people under your rule just for immediate profit. Tell me, what is your purpose? What is the purpose of secretly building a new city here? "
Qin Wushen said: "The contribution that Fenglei Pavilion has made to Shangbei County over the years will be commented by future generations. Hey, in Baima County last year, in order to prevent the opening of the Soul Cultivation Land, the masters in this Pavilion had to release the plague. Giving up the small for the big, but still struggling to survive, Dongping Mansion still opened a place to nourish the soul. If you say you betrayed the people, how can you be so righteous in front of me and say so confidently? If I remember correctly, you kid, for For your own selfish reasons, you angered Emperor Longding who was entrenched in Baima Lake at that time, causing a tragedy in which millions of people were devoured! Not long ago, it was also because of you, like a madman, you provoked Jianxue Mountain, which led to disaster, and now it's like this Isn't the bad climate all thanks to you? More than a million people died due to this disaster? According to a rough calculation, since you came to Shangbei County, in less than two years, you have More than two million people have died in your hands. Boy, I cooperate with the demons and will indeed raise the people as livestock. Once a genius with high-quality spiritual roots is discovered, he will be sent to a soul-raising place, at most every year. Handing over a batch of blood food of young boys and girls for them to devour and enjoy! This sounds indeed sinful, but compared to what you have done, it is nothing but a big deal! You and Pang Gu are the same, and you want to use this method I'm just trying to embezzle my Fenglei Pavilion. Why are you pretending to be noble or a savior? Bah!" Qin Wushen spat and smeared it viciously to vent the anger and disdain in his heart.
"You are right. Dean Pang and I have indeed done wrong things in the past and killed too much, and we have both repented and repented in time! And once you cooperate with the demons and open a soul-nurturing place in Fenglei Pavilion, It will be a road of no return. From now on, everything will not be decided by you! Qin Wushen, you have many spies left in Hancheng. In the past few days, you should also know our strength! As long as Emperor Bu Le Ji Yuan is not dead, his decree is still effective, and the territory of the two northern counties and one state still belongs to the human race. Under this premise, as long as we work together to deal with the demons and the masters of the major foreign races, we will occupy the great righteousness , is legal. No matter how many enemies we kill, each race will not dare to openly send out large armies to suppress it. They only dare to send small groups of masters to fight. This is the difference between race wars and sect wars. Race wars are Illegal! By making good use of this, it is possible for us to win. In the past, we were a piece of loose sand. Now we are united to build a benchmark for the north. We select high-quality seeds from the common people and cultivate them with all our efforts. Our future is immeasurable. .Firstly, even if Emperor Bule fails to conquer the sky and cannot come back, the world will be in chaos, and we have a solid territory as a foundation to protect ourselves; secondly, Emperor Bule has not failed. After returning, he will see that we stick to our duty , obey the king's transformation, and benefit the people of one area. Even if there is killing, at most the merits and demerits will be equalized! Qin Wushen, you have to think about it!" Li Xiu said.
Pangu said to Qin Wushen: "Yes, although there were rifts between our three factions in the past, in the past forty or fifty years, there have been many cooperations, hundreds of large and small battles, and many foreign conspiracies have been crushed. Conspiracy. Now that Taiqing Palace is closed to the world, only the two of us can save the common people. To be honest, it is not my original intention to fight with Fenglei Pavilion! No matter who of us wins, all that will be lost is the strength of Shangbei County in cultivating immortals! Since Brother Li has spoken out, and I will tell you bluntly that you should consider it carefully!"
Qin Wushen was silent, he was a little surprised. The other party was actually willing to turn their hostility into friendship and extend an olive branch?
Li Xiudao: "You should know that I am not an outsider in Hanchen Academy now. Hua Zhong and Jiang Bubandi of Shangbei County are not inferior to Fenglei Pavilion or Hanchen Academy in terms of reputation, background, or wealth. . We all join forces not to become the king of the mountain, but to open the door in the name and form of the academy to accept outstanding talents from the younger generation of all ethnic groups. The purpose is to push that humanistic destiny to the top. , and finally condensed into dragon veins. This level of dragon veins far exceeds the humanistic dragon veins of the two saints at Guyang Pass. We did not rely on national luck. This cohesion and humanistic information are so majestic that it is unimaginable. Even if Emperor Bule is not dead, , return to the court, how difficult will it be for us to ask for an official position in the future? That kind of status is higher than that of the major nobles. We are based in the two northern counties and are the second Tianduyuan, let alone You are a nobleman, even if you are in the General's Mansion or Supervisor Tiantai, they will be polite to you, what's the benefit?"
This time, Qin Wushen was no longer surprised, but surprised. The other party actually has such great ambitions. Not only does he want to unify the world of immortal cultivation in Shangbei County, he also wants to set up a benchmark, enlighten the people's wisdom, and raise the banner, which is equivalent to establishing himself as a king. Its purpose is no different from that of a place to nourish souls. They are just using ghosts and magical powers. Of course, Qin Wushen also understands that there is still a difference. After all, Li Xiu and the others are still taking the interests of the human race as their starting point.
Qin Wushen was silent for a moment before he raised his head and looked at the trio and said, "If I nod and agree, can you let me go?"
