Li Xigong said: "My subordinates knew that if Elder Xuanyang continued to stay in the Holy Cult, given his condition, he would definitely be poisoned by Yin Wuji and the others, so he tried to find a way to send Elder Xuanyang out of Chaowu Ridge. But Yin Wuji and the others know that if Elder Xuanyang escapes pursuit, he will definitely be in trouble, so the entire Chaowu Ridge is blocked and it is difficult to have a chance to send Elder Xuanyang out."
The leader said: "Chaowu Ridge is blocked. It can be difficult for others, but can it be difficult for you? You know the terrain of Chaowu Ridge well, and it is not difficult to send Xuanyang out."
"The subordinates did not rebel against the leader with them, so they were very careful with their subordinates." Li Xi said: "Yin Wuji sent people near the subordinates to monitor them all the time. It is already very important to be able to treat Elder Xuanyang's injuries. It’s so dangerous, it’s almost impossible to send him out.”
Qining could imagine the situation at that time.
Since Elder Xuanyang is an enemy of Yin Wuji and his party, Yin Wuji and others cannot let him go. Xuanyang knows the situation of the Holy Cult very well, and he also knows the cultivation and temperament of Yin Wuji and others. If such a person survives, he will certainly be a great threat to Yin Wuji and others, and will definitely make this group of people worry day and night.
Under such a situation, Yin Wuji and others will definitely not let Xuanyang escape from Chaowu Ridge, so the degree of blockade in Chaowu Ridge is naturally extraordinary.
But Qining knew that Xuanyang finally escaped from Chaowu Ridge, otherwise he would not have met Xuanyang's remains in that cave.
"Is Xuanyang alive or dead now?" the leader asked.
Although Qi Ning knew that Xuanyang had passed away, he did not tell anyone about it. The leader had just returned to Chaowu Ridge, so it was naturally impossible for him to know whether Xuanyang was alive or dead.
"I can't know for sure." Li Xigong said: "After I treated Elder Xuanyang for a while, before I could think of a way to send him away from Chaowu Ridge, he suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts have not been known since. Subordinate At first, I was worried that Yin Wuji and the others had captured Elder Xuanyang, but later they secretly investigated and found out that Yin Wuji and the others had not found the whereabouts of Xuanyang at all. Moreover, Yin Wuji had sent many people out to search for Elder Xuanyang secretly. traces of him, but his whereabouts have never been found.”
Qi Ning thought that Xuanyang was far away from Xichuan and hiding in a remote mountain. If Yin Wuji and the others could find him, they would be in trouble.
But at this moment, I suddenly understood why Xuanyang passed away. According to Li Xigong, Elder Xuanyang attacked and killed Yin Wuji but fell into the opponent's trap and was seriously injured. Even top miracle doctors like Li Xigong said It will take a long time for Xuanyang to recover from his injuries, which naturally requires Li Xigong's diagnosis and treatment.
However, the situation at that time was extremely serious and there was not enough time for Li Xigong to properly diagnose and treat Xuanyang. Xuanyang suddenly disappeared. Naturally, he escaped secretly because he did not want to implicate Li Xigong. When he escaped, his injuries were not healed. , which means that Xuanyang left with serious injuries when he fled Chaowu Ridge.
Given Xuanyang's injuries at that time, it was certainly impossible for ordinary doctors to effectively diagnose and treat him. There were almost no people in the world who could surpass Li Xigong in medical skills. Taiyin sent people to secretly search for Xuanyang, so they would naturally think that Xuanyang was injured. He would look for some powerful apricot forest masters in the world for treatment, so he would naturally inquire about those apricot forest masters in the world, and Xuanyang would naturally not be able to find someone for treatment and thereby expose his whereabouts.
Xuanyang eventually died in the cave, probably because he delayed the diagnosis of his injuries and was unable to recover.
Now neither the leader nor Li Xigong knew whether Xuanyang was alive or dead. Qining hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself that although he knew that Xuanyang had passed away, it was better to have more to worry about than to have less to worry about. For the time being, there was no need to worry about his chance encounter. Tell them.
"My subordinates knew that Elder Xuanyang definitely did not want to involve his subordinates, so he left on his own." Li Xigong sighed softly: "It's just that how he escaped from Chaowu Ridge at that time was still unclear to my subordinates, but later I thought about it carefully. , there may be only that one path.”
The leader said "Oh" and then said: "You mean... Yinlan River?"
Li Xigong nodded and said: "Exactly. The Yinlan River runs from west to east, passing through Chaowu Ridge. All the key points of the mountain road are guarded. The only way to escape from Chaowu Ridge is the Yinlan River."
The leader was speechless. He turned sideways and looked down from the edge of the cliff. Qining couldn't help but walked to the edge of Arrow Cliff and looked down. Although it was winter, there was no snowfall today and his vision was clear. Qining's His eyesight is even better, and he can clearly see that there are many rivers between the peaks of Chaowu Ridge, and the largest waterway is like a twisted and coiled snake, twisting and turning between the peaks, stretching from west to east.
Although many river branches can be seen from a high vantage point, almost all of them are tributaries branching off from that large waterway. The only waterway that passes through Chaowu Ridge is that one. Qining knew that it must be Li Xigong. Speaking of Yinlanjiang, he thought that if Xuanyang had really dived into this waterway and left, it would have been difficult to be discovered. However, if he just dived to escape, his injuries would definitely be aggravated.
In the cold winter, a layer of ice had already formed on the surface of the Yinlan River. However, when something happened within the Black Lotus Sect, it was July, which was the scorching summer season. At that time, the Yinlan River was naturally surging and flowing continuously.
"Elder Xuanyang left seriously injured and did not know whether he was alive or dead." Li Xigong said: "But Elder Xuanyang left a souvenir for his subordinates before, from which he learned about the general situation."
"He left you a souvenir?"
Li Xigong did not explain immediately, but took out a piece of paper that had already turned yellow from his arms and respectfully presented it to the leader with both hands. The leader took it and glanced at it a few times, but his expression remained unchanged.
Qi Ning was quite curious and wanted to know what was written on that piece of paper, but since it was an internal secret of the Black Lotus Religion and the leader did not hand it to him, it was naturally difficult for him to get close enough to read it.
"Elder Xuanyang told Yin Wuji and others that they had betrayed the leader, but they did not kill the leader. He was secretly investigating and found that the leader is probably still alive." Li Xigong had already explained: "Xuanyang didn't want his subordinates to die. He was involved in it, but he knew that he was too seriously injured and there were some things that he could no longer complete, so he told his subordinates that no matter how difficult it was, they must find the leader and wipe out the rebellion of the holy religion."
Qi Ning was relieved at this time, thinking that this souvenir was Xuanyang entrusting Li Xigong with important matters, asking him to find the leader.
However, he was even more confused in his heart. Since Yin Wuji and others planned to join forces to attack the leader, they were naturally prepared not to take action, but to take the leader's life if they did. Otherwise, if they did, they would not be able to kill the leader. The consequences must be disastrous, and they chose to attack the leader on the fifteenth day of July to Yin. At that time, the leader was at his weakest. Yin Wuji and others were naturally very confident, but why did they fail in the end? Can you kill the leader
If the leader had died in the hands of those people back then, there would not have been the consequences of the leader returning to Chaowu Ridge to clean up the family today.
The leader pondered for a moment and finally said: "You survived just to find me?"
Li Xigong said seductively: "My subordinates know that their martial arts and strength are far from enough to fight against Yin Wuji and others, and after Elder Xuanyang's failure, no one in the Holy Sect can compete with Yin Wuji. Elder Xuanyang said that the leader is still ... is still alive, it is of course God's Blessing of the Holy Religion. If you want the Holy Religion to regain its prestige, naturally you can only find the leader." After a slight pause, he continued: "The Holy Religion fell into the hands of traitors, and there are no subordinates. Before finding the leader, I did not dare to commit suicide, so I quit the Holy Religion and traveled around the world, hoping that God would protect me and allow my subordinates to find the leader or even Elder Xuanyang and revive the Holy Religion." At this point, he finally sighed: " It's a pity that after several years, although I searched countless places, I couldn't find any trace of the leader, which was really incompetent. Fortunately, the leader is safe and sound, and I can return to the Holy Cult this time, and I... I don't have any worries anymore. "
Speaking of this, Li Xigong knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Although I was secretly born to find the leader, I knew that Yin Wuji was actually a traitor and traitor, but I still succumbed to him and failed to clean up the family. It's really I'm guilty, I beg the leader to punish me!" He put his forehead on the ground, respectfully.
The leader walked forward slowly and stood just one step away from Li Xigong. He looked down at Li Xigong like a king looking at his courtiers and said calmly: "If what you said is true, it is also excusable. I can forgive you, but...!" The voice was slightly cold: "I don't believe that Yin Wuji let you go so easily, what are you hiding from me?"
Li Xigong suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, Qining saw the silver light suddenly appear on Li Xigong's sleeves. Before he could see clearly what it was, he saw Li Xigong's body flying straight out like a ball, and the leader's The figure was like a ghost. When Li Xigong's body flew out, the leader's figure followed Li Xigong. When Li Xigong landed heavily on the ground, the leader had already stepped on Li Xigong's chest with one foot.
This sudden change happened in a flash of lightning, without any warning at all.
If Qi Ning was still worried that the leader would kill Li Xigong suddenly, but after Li Xigong stated many things that year, the mood and attitude of the leader obviously softened a lot, and Qi Ning also breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that Li Xigong was loyal to the leader and that the leader would not hurt Li Xigong. However, such a shocking change happened in the blink of an eye.
The leader stepped on Li Xigong's chest, raised his right hand, and there were two thin silver needles between the two fingers, and said calmly: "You claim to only save people and not kill, but you dare to attack me today, Li Xi Sir, you have lived on your last breath for all these years, and you have lived enough today."
Blood spilled from Li Xigong's lips, but he smiled miserably and said: "I know it is impossible to kill you. I am doing this just to tell you that I am going to kill you!"
