A Clash of Gods

Chapter 440: Think carefully

Views:

Qi Ning was just thinking that Li Xigong was going to take the opportunity to attack the leader, but saw Li Xigong suddenly take out the porcelain bottle from his arms and hand it to the leader. The leader hesitated, took the bottle seriously, took the pills and drank it.

The leader practiced his skills for a moment, then slowly stood up and said: "Li Xigong, you had the chance to kill me, why didn't you do it?"

Li Xigong still had a bad attitude and sneered: "I only know how to heal people, not kill people. Is killing really that enjoyable?"

Li Xigong was not tall, but the leader was shorter than him. He suddenly laughed and said, "That's right, you haven't killed anyone since your debut." He covered his chest and frowned, "Then The old thief has actually mastered the Spiritual Eagle Divine Art, it’s really amazing.”

"Spiritual Eagle Divine Skill?" Li Xigong frowned and said, "Isn't that a long-lost skill like the Ding Suction Technique? Who is this person that can actually acquire these skills?"

The leader did not answer, but just said: "He was also injured by me. Although he escaped, he did not dare to come back again. Li Xigong, I will leave the ice coffin to you." Without saying anything, he turned around and went to the bamboo forest. Xigong did not stop him, but in the blink of an eye, the leader had disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief and heard Li Xigong say: "Come out!"

Qi Ning was startled, but immediately understood that he was being called, so he could only come out from behind the rockery, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Senior Li, thank you for saving my life last time."

Li Xigong smiled and said: "It's easy, no need to say anything. You are so brave, how dare you come here."

"Senior Li, to be honest, I came here by mistake." Qi Ning hesitated slightly, thinking that Li Xigong was a kind man and Master Tang Nuo, so he did not hide it at the moment, and he was attacked from the mountain. The later experience is probably known to Li Xigong.

Li Xigong stroked his beard gently, obviously quite satisfied with Qi Ning's honesty. He nodded slightly and said, "You think there is a treasure in the ice coffin, and you want to use it to trade with the Black Lotus Sect and rescue the people in the Shenhou Mansion. This is a clever trick. But as I said before, this trick won’t work in the Black Lotus Sect.”

Qi Ning sighed: "I can't think of any other way." He asked tentatively: "Senior Li, you... are you really not a member of the Black Lotus Sect?"

Li Xigong did not answer, but asked: "Jin Yihou, attacking Qianwu Ridge is the plan of the Shenhou Mansion, but why do you follow it?"

Qi Ning frowned and said: "Senior Li must also know that there is an epidemic in the capital. The evidence shows that it is the black-faced poison that makes Swing Yi...!"

Li Xigong interrupted: "Although Zhuo Qianyi is unruly and not a good person, he is a master of poison and will never use poison on ordinary people." After a pause, he said: "I am also in this situation. I know a little bit that the golden silkworm poison in Shui Qianyi was stolen, and someone should have put the blame on him."

"It is said that the golden silkworm poison is kept in the Yin and Yang Realm where Zhu Qianyi is located. That is Zhu Qianyi's lair. Who has the ability to steal his golden silkworm poison?" Qi Ning asked with a frown.

Li Xiggong said: "I have been investigating this matter, and I have some clues now, but it is difficult to make a conclusion until it is found out."

"So, this is indeed a misunderstanding between the two parties?" Qi Ning said: "Senior Li, since it is a misunderstanding, can you...?"

Li Xigong obviously knew what Qin Ning was going to say, so he raised his hand and said, "You want me to resolve this fight?"

Qi Ning cupped his hands and said: "Both sides will suffer heavy losses in this battle. So many people died because of a misunderstanding. This...!"

Li Xigong laughed and said: "Jin Yihou, as far as I know, you are very popular with the new emperor, and he also intends to promote you. Are people who are favored by the young emperor really so confused?"

"Senior...!"

"Do you think this fight was due to a misunderstanding?" Li Xigong smiled faintly, "The Shenhou Mansion gathered eight gangs and sixteen sects to attack the Black Lotus Sect. In my opinion, it was nothing more than a plan carefully planned by Ximen Wuhen. It’s just a trap.”

"A trap?" Qi Ning frowned slightly. In fact, he had always been suspicious of this operation.

Li Xigong said: "Before the Shenhou Mansion was established, the world was never peaceful. There were turmoils and gangs fighting each other, and the world was full of bloodshed. After the Shenhou Mansion was established, Ximen Wuhen took over the world. After the peace came, Ximen Wuhen even signed an iron-blooded document with various factions in the Jianghu to restrain the forces in the Jianghu. Although his purpose was for the peace of the court, I applaud him for this situation."

Qi Ning nodded slightly: "The Iron Blood Writings have saved many fights and bloodshed in the rivers and lakes, which can be considered a great achievement."

"But you should also understand that among these various gangs and factions, which one of them is a good person? They bowed and bowed to the Shenhou Mansion simply because they were afraid that the Shenhou Mansion would attack them." Li Xi said, "Back then, the Shenhou Mansion Signing the Iron Blood Document certainly stabilized the situation in the world, but it also had hidden dangers. However, the situation dictated that at the time, this was also the best way."

"Hidden danger?" Qi Ning thought thoughtfully and understood a little bit: "Senior, are you saying that raising tigers is a danger?"

There was a hint of admiration in Li Xigong's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Now you understand. Yes, the Eight Gangs and the Sixteenth Sect have a transcendent status in the world. Over the years, they have accumulated extremely strong strength. There is no god. Before the Hou Mansion, there was a lot of fighting among the gangs, and no gang could accumulate enough strength, but after so many years of fighting, the eight gangs and sixteen factions have gradually grown in size."

"So the Shenhou Mansion is starting to be afraid of these sects?" Qi Ning asked: "Could it be... Is it possible to attack Qianwu Peak this time...!"

"Of course Ximen Wuhen is not happy to see eight gangs and sixteen sects become powerful." Li Xigong said: "The Chu Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty will fight for hegemony sooner or later. If the Shenhou Mansion cannot control the Jianghu forces, then It is inevitable that trouble will occur, which will naturally greatly hinder Chu's army preparations for war."

Qi Ning nodded slightly. The cold air was blowing at the edge of the ice pool. He already felt that his whole body was chilled. He couldn't help but glance at the ice pool, but he suddenly discovered that the already broken surface of the pool had begun to condense again. Ice, although the ice surface is still relatively thin, it is extremely rare for it to condense into ice so quickly. This also shows how cold this ice pool is. It is no wonder that I feel cold all over my body.

"Today's eight gangs and sixteen factions cannot be moved by Ximen Wuhen whenever he wants." Li Xigong said calmly: "Although the eight gangs and sixteen factions have their own plans, no one dares to confront the Shenhou Mansion. We obey the Shenhou Mansion, but if the Shenhou Mansion easily moves any faction, it will be a disaster, and the other gangs will definitely join forces, and then it will be beyond the control of the Shenhou Mansion."

Qi Ning sighed: "So the Lord Ximen thought of this trick, the crane and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit?"

"The Black Lotus Sect has been active in the western border area, and has not spread its influence beyond Bashu." Li Xigong stroked his beard and said: "Not many people in the world know about the Black Lotus Sect, but Ximen Wuhen certainly knows, and he Naturally, we also know that the Black Lotus leader’s martial arts has entered the realm of a grand master.”

Qi Ning said: "The eight gangs and sixteen factions cannot be defeated, and the Shenhou Mansion cannot let them consume each other. After all, once these gangs fight and violate the Iron Blood Law, all the forces in the world will inevitably fall into chaos. This is what the Iron Blood Group originally had Hidden dangers in literature.”

"Exactly." Li Xigong nodded and said: "But looking at the Chu country, there is no other force that can weaken the strength of the eight gangs and sixteen factions. Ximen Wuhen thought about it, and the only one with this ability can only be the black Lotus Sect." He smiled faintly: "After all, the Black Lotus Sect has a great master."

In today's world, the only person who can pose a threat to the eight gangs and sixteen factions is the Grand Master.

The five great masters in the world, Muyun Hou Beitang Huanye of the Northern Han Dynasty, Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and Zhuri Dharma King of the Qinghai Snow Mountain are all foreigners. Of course, the Shenhou Mansion does not have the ability to let these three great masters deal with eight gangs and ten Six sects, and the Sword God Beigong Liancheng came from the Jinyihou Mansion. Among the five great masters, the only one who can directly weaken the eight gangs and sixteen sects is the Black Lotus Sect with the leader of the Black Lotus.

Li Xigong said slowly: "This action is definitely not decided overnight. If I am not wrong, Ximen Wuhen has already planned it, even...!" He sneered and his expression became a little awe-inspiring.

"Senior, do you think that Ximen Wuhen was behind the epidemic in Beijing?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "He shouldn't be so vicious, right? After all, this matter is not trivial. If it is really related to Ximen Wuhen, once it is found out, , even if he is the Shenhou of the Shenhou Mansion, the court will not let him go."

Li Xigong pondered for a moment and then said: "What you said is not bad."

"Speaking of the epidemic, I have to thank my seniors here." Qining cupped his hands and said, "Without Miss Tang, the epidemic would have been unavoidable."

When Li Xigong heard Qi Ning mention Tang Nuo, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "That girl is not with me, but she is very capable. Qi Ning, when she is with you, you have to take good care of her. If you are missing a hair, you will be a Marquis of Jin Yi, and I will not be able to spare you." He deliberately said with a sullen face: "My martial arts are mediocre, and I may not be able to deal with the Marquis of Jin Yi, but if I have someone to ask for in the world, There are not many people who don’t give me face.”

Qin Ning naturally knew that no one in the world would be in trouble. If he could make the world's number one miracle doctor owe a favor, it would be like saving another life. Li Xigong's words were really not exaggerated.

He also knew that Mr. Li Xigong was so sullen on purpose because he was worried about Tang Nuo and was worried that Tang Nuo would be wronged in Jinyihou Mansion. He solemnly said: "Senior, don't worry, if Miss Tang is missing a hair, it means that senior is not good enough." If you are held accountable, I will definitely take the initiative to apologize to my senior."

Li Xigong nodded slightly and then said: "No matter whether the epidemic in the capital has anything to do with Ximen Wuhen or not, this disaster gave the Lord Shenhou an opportunity." He smiled calmly: "He is already old. , Naturally, he hopes that before passing on the position of Divine Marquis to his disciples, the Jianghu forces are still under the firm control of the Divine Marquis Mansion, so naturally he is deliberately planning this bloody fight."
