The leader suddenly attacked Li Xigong, and Qi Ning was horrified, fearing that the leader would kill him again, he ducked out of the way and was already protecting Li Xigong, and said sternly: "Be merciful!"
He knew that with his own strength, he could not fight against the leader, but Li Xigong was Tang Nuo's master and had saved Eve's life, so he could not stay out of the matter no matter what.
The leader had already turned around with a cold expression.
Qi Ning suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that Li Xigong had stood up and stood beside him. His slightly old face was pale. Qi Ning worriedly said: "Senior ,you… !"
Li Xigong shook his head slightly and signaled Qin Ning not to say anything. He took two steps forward, knelt down in front of the leader again, and said respectfully: "Li Xigong pays homage to the leader!"
The leader stared at Li Xigong for a moment, and finally said: "You shouldn't have appeared here."
"My subordinates know." Li Xi said, "So no matter what kind of punishment the leader imposes, my subordinates are willing to accept it."
"Li Xigong, you are indeed the smartest person among the four holy envoys." The leader said in a cold voice: "You didn't collude with them back then, so you think you are not a traitor, right?"
Li Xigong lowered his head, but did not dare to speak.
"Compared to Yin Wuji, you are even more disgusting." The leader said coldly: "Yin Wuji made a desperate move and led those few people to attack me. At least you have the courage to give it a try. However, you are clearly dissatisfied with me in your heart, but you are afraid that the plan will fail and be punished. I dare not join forces with them to get involved in my revenge...!"
Li Xigong lowered his head and said: "My subordinates are loyal to the leader and will never collude with them."
"Really?" The leader laughed strangely: "Since you don't collude with them, you should be loyal to me. I ask you, did you know about their sneak attack on me back then?"
Li Xigong hesitated for a moment and then said: "At the time of the incident, my subordinates did not know about it, but after the incident, I became aware of it and also knew that Yin Wuji was pretending to be the leader, so I could only withdraw from the Holy Cult. Draw a clear line with them.”
"Draw a clear line?" The leader looked at Li Xigong coldly: "They let you go so easily?"
Li Xigong was silent for a moment, and then finally said: "My subordinates promised them that after withdrawing from the Holy Religion, they will not interfere with anything about the Holy Religion."
Qi Ning heard clearly from behind. He knew from the beginning that there was something fishy about Li Xigong's withdrawal from the Black Lotus Sect. Today, it was finally confirmed that Li Xigong had long known that Yin Wuji and his group had attacked the leader, and even knew that Yin Wuji later Li Xigong, who pretended to be the leader of the cult, knew all about the inside story. Therefore, Li Xigong drew a clear line with the Black Lotus Sect and withdrew from the Black Lotus Sect.
Qi Ning was also curious about why the Black Lotus Church easily allowed Li Xigong to withdraw from the religion. At this time, after hearing Li Xigong's explanation, he finally understood that Li Xigong had reached an agreement with the Black Lotus Church.
Li Xigong's character is obviously trusted by Yin Wuji and others. Since he said that he will no longer interfere with the affairs of the Black Lotus Sect, he will naturally not be involved in it again, and will not cause any trouble to the Black Lotus Sect.
"You knew that Yin Wuji had rebelled against Christianity and usurped the throne, but you promised him not to interfere with the affairs of the Holy Religion and withdrew from the Holy Religion." The leader's expression was sinister: "What a good Li Xigong, you are really loyal to me." The voice suddenly became cold and stern: "If you are really loyal to me, and you know that those people are all treasonous people, shouldn't you fight them to the death to clear the door for the Holy Religion?"
Qi Ning thought that at that time, the entire Black Lotus Sect was already in the hands of Yin Wuji. Among the four holy envoys, three were Yin Wuji. Although Li Xigong's medical skills were superb, his martial arts cultivation was mediocre. If he confronts Yin Wuji at this time, he can only destroy himself.
However, Li Xigong said very sincerely: "My subordinates are not their rivals. If we openly become enemies with them, we will immediately die without a burial place."
"It turns out you are afraid of death." The leader let out a strange laugh: "I thought you were saving lives and tending the wounded. If you see too many dead people, you will be indifferent to life and death. It turns out that the doctor under me is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." The voice suddenly sounded. Senran stood up: "Then do you think you should die?"
Caught up in the grudges of the world, this Grand Master was just as happy and angry as an ordinary person. He did not have the otherworldly temperament of Sword God Beigong Liancheng and Baiyun Island Master.
But such a Black Lotus leader is closer to people and cares about the grudges and hatreds in the world. Qining suddenly understood that not every great master is aloof from the world and does not care about the worldly affairs. He founded the Black Lotus Sect from the leader. From that day on, it was destined that this great master would remain in the human world.
Qi Ning could see the murderous intent looming in the leader's brows, and knew that Li Xigong's life could end abruptly at any time. Although he knew that he could not stop the leader from killing Li Xigong, he was still on guard, waiting for the leader to take action and fight on his own. Try to protect Li Xigong.
Li Xigong suddenly raised his head, stared at the leader and said: "Report to the leader, this subordinate does not deserve to die!"
The leader frowned slightly, Li Xigong already said: "Since that incident, in the past eight years, my subordinates have rescued more than 600 people. Without my subordinates' diagnosis and treatment, more than 400 of them would have died. "
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a sense of respect in his heart.
Li Xigong saved hundreds of lives in eight years. Of course, this was a leader. He didn't seem to expect that Li Xigong suddenly said these words, and sneered: "Are you showing off your achievements in front of me? How many people have you saved, and what does it have to do with me? Does it mean that just because you saved those lives, it means you don’t deserve to die?”
Li Xigong stared at the leader and asked, "Does the leader still remember what his subordinate said to the leader when he joined the religion?"
The leader frowned slightly, but did not speak.
"It doesn't matter if the leader doesn't remember it, but this subordinate remembers it clearly." Li Xigong said slowly: "I promised the leader that if any brother in the sect is sick, I will cure him at all costs. , and my subordinates also promised that they would never let any brother pass away due to illness."
Qining thought that only Li Xigong, a doctor with amazing medical skills, dared to make such a promise.
The leader still did not speak. Li Xigong continued: "My subordinates joined the Holy Religion back then because the leader's original intention was to protect the Miao family. Since the Holy Religion takes protecting the Miao family as its own responsibility, of course, my subordinates will do their best to protect the Holy Religion." Everyone." His expression looked solemn and pious, and he said word by word: "My subordinates asked the leader at that time that after joining the religion, he would only save people and not kill!"
Only save people, don’t kill!
Qin Ning sighed in his heart, doctors are benevolent, this sentence alone is enough to make people respect Li Xigong in awe.
The leader's expression softened slightly and said: "I remember. I still remember that I promised you back then!" He smiled lightly and said: "So you think that I promised you not to kill people back then, so you don't have to clean up those evil things." Thief, then you don’t deserve to die?”
Li Xigong said seductively: "The leader promised his subordinate back then, so since he joined the religion, he has not killed a single person and devoted himself to saving lives and healing the wounded. But what the leader said is right. Yin Wuji has rebelled and rebelled. The person who knows the truth, yet wisely protects himself, and quits religion in order to survive is indeed a crime worthy of death."
"Since you know you deserve to die, why do you say you shouldn't?" the leader said coldly.
Li Xigong said: "After what happened that year, I really didn't deserve to die, not just because I could save many people if I were alive, but because I was shouldering a major task that I had to do."
"A big deal?" The leader looked slightly confused: "What's the matter?"
"Find the leader and revive the holy religion." Li Xigong said word by word.
The leader was startled, his eyes were like daggers, and he said coldly: "Have you ever come to see me?"
"For eight years, my subordinates have been looking for the whereabouts of the leader." Li Xigong said: "When they attacked and killed the leader, the subordinates did not know about it. However, they knew from Elder Xuanyang that although the leader was attacked by surprise, Taiyin and the others did not. If the leader’s body is not found, the leader may not have passed away.”
"Xuan Yang?" The leader's eyes twitched slightly.
Li Xigong said: "After Taiyin and the others attacked the leader, Elder Xuanyang quickly learned the inside story. At that time, Luo Wuying and the other three were colluding with Taiyin. Elder Xuanyang knew that it was not appropriate to fight head-on, so he sneaked into Taiyin's residence one night. If you want to attack Taiyin, as long as you kill Taiyin, Luo Wuying and the others will be much easier to deal with."
The leader said: "Xuan Yang knows how to clean up the sect. If you join forces with him, you may not lose to them."
"Elder Xuanyang was not prepared to involve his subordinates from the beginning." Li Xigong said: "He planned secretly and acted alone, but unfortunately he fell into a trap...!"
"trap?"
Li Xigong said: "Yin Wuji and the others guessed that Xuanyang would make a sneak attack, so they laid a trap and waited for Elder Xuanyang to take action. Elder Xuanyang was eager to avenge the leader and fell into the trap they set. Although he struggled to escape, he was He was seriously injured. Yin Wuji and others gathered the congregation and claimed that Xuanyang was plotting to rebel against the religion. He had three holy envoys as witnesses. Naturally, the entire Holy Church was deceived by them." After a pause, he continued: "They We sealed Chaowu Ridge and searched for Elder Xuanyang. Elder Xuanyang was seriously injured and unable to go far, so we had to find his subordinates."
The leader's face was even more sinister. Qining had always been very curious about the changes that had occurred in the Black Lotus Sect. Now, after listening to Li Xigong's statement, Qining gradually became clear about the details of what happened that year.
"Elder Xuanyang was seriously injured at the time and was dying. His subordinates tried their best to save his life, but it would take at least three to five months for his injuries to recover." Li Xi said, "Yin Wuji and the others knew that if Xuanyang did not die, It will definitely become a trouble in the future, and with Elder Xuanyang’s injuries, it is impossible to escape from Chaowu Ridge, so they dug three feet into the ground and searched every corner of Chaowu Ridge to dig out Elder Xuanyang.”
The leader sneered: "Yin Wuji called Xuanyang brothers back then, and they were always polite and courteous. It was as if he regarded Xuanyang as his elder brother. Xuanyang probably didn't expect that Yin Wuji would be so cruel to him one day."
Qi Ning couldn't help but think about it. Back then, Yin Wuji and his gang joined the Black Lotus Sect, respected you as their leader, and were in awe of you. Did you ever think that one day they would join forces and kill you
