Why is there a murder case again? Zhu Yanyin held the beam with one hand: "Aren't we here to save people?"
Li Suidao, kill first and save later.
Zhu Yanyin shook his head frantically and said, I won’t go.
Li Sui looked at him for a while and said, "If you don't want to go, you can let go."
Zhu Yanyin still tugged at his sleeves tightly. "I won't let go. If I do, what will you do if you go and kill people again? People can't be killed randomly." Besides, Brother Ming Chuan and Liu Xiyang were still half dead and tied to the chair. According to the normal process, shouldn't we eavesdrop on their conversation for a while? Maybe we can find out the secrets of the Demon Cult and Chi Tian.
Li Sui patiently said, "Chi Tian has no secrets, only ambitions."
Zhu Yanyin disagrees with this view. As long as there is a human being in this world, there will be secrets.
Li Sui asked: "What is your secret?"
Zhu Yanyin was stunned by the question. Do we really want to discuss this matter at such a tense time
Li Sui was intrigued and repeated, "What's your secret?"
Zhu Yanyin looked at his excited eyes and didn't utter a word for a long time. He had many years less memory than others, so naturally he had fewer secrets. He racked his brains and could only say "I hid a box of indecent Jianghu stories under my bed in Jiangnan". It was too embarrassing, so he might as well shut up.
Li Sui seemed determined to wait for the answer, and didn't even bother to kill the person.
Zhu Yanyin shrank back: "Why should I say it? You first."
Li Sui thought without hesitation: "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Chi Tian took my inner strength, but few people know that his sixteen guardians of the Burning Fire Palace also relied on me to achieve their current level of cultivation."
Zhu Yanyin: I was stunned after hearing it.
He originally just wanted to deal with it casually and change the subject, and was even prepared to be severely pinched on the face, but what does "Everyone in the world knows that Chi Tian took away my inner strength" mean
Li Sui frowned: "What's that expression on your face?"
Zhu Yanyin swallowed hard and dryly. I knew without any preparation that the sixteen guardians of the Burning Fire Palace had achieved their current level of cultivation thanks to you. Shouldn't I give them a thunderbolt
He remembered that when they were in Baitou City, Li Sui did say that the martial arts Chi Tian practiced was called Devouring the Moon, which was specialized in swallowing people's internal energy. Since the two were both disciples of Tianmenzi and practiced martial arts together, it was not uncommon for the senior brother to plot against the junior brother. But what about the sixteen guardians who suddenly appeared now? Could it be that they also practiced the same Devouring the Moon technique? Seventeen people swallowed the internal energy of the same person at the same time
Zhu Yanyin unconsciously imagined the horrifying scene of a group of blood-sucking insects biting Li Sui. The hairs on his back instantly stood up. He suddenly realized the weight behind this secret—if the internal strength of Chi Tian and his sixteen guardians all came from Li Sui, then in other words, the bloody storm in the Central Plains martial arts world today is indeed inseparable from Wanren Palace.
Li Sui urged: "It's your turn."
Zhu Yanyin's lips seemed to be glued shut, and he became even more silent. Firstly, he was still in shock, and secondly, compared to Li Sui's secret, no matter what he said, it seemed insincere. Even if he lay down on the spot and performed a chest-breaking rock-breaking move, it would still be weak.
He had no choice but to hold back his words: "In fact, I had thought about secretly making a sword exactly like the Xiangjun Sword and hanging it on my waist to show off my power."
Compared with "I raised 17 martial arts cancers by myself", it still seems insignificant, but the Jiangnan rich man with a clean past has really tried his best. If we dig deeper, he only has the so-called "secret" that can only shock the loyal old butler, "I was vomiting and having diarrhea a few days ago, but it was not because of catching a cold, but because I secretly ate fried skewers sold outside."
However, Li Sui did not dislike him. Instead, he laughed for an inexplicable moment before adding, "Everyone in the world is afraid of the Xiangjun Sword, but you are the only one who likes it."
Zhu Yanyin said: "Yes."
Although this liking is superficial and purely based on appearance, superficial liking is still liking.
Li Sui reached out his hand and gently touched his face in the dim light: "When I die, you will take this sword away."
Zhu Yanyin: “?”
The three people on the bed were still calculating the money afterwards. You want an extra box of rouge and I want an extra box of powder. Unfortunately, the man was stingy and hesitated for a long time without saying anything. So the bargaining gradually turned into sharp ridicule, which was very vulgar and unpleasant. This kind of ghost environment is really not a good place to explain the afterlife. Besides, Zhu Yanyin didn't think that Li Sui would really die because of Chi Tian, so he said, "That will happen seventy or eighty years later."
Li Sui looked thoughtful, as if he had never thought about something so far in the past. Seventy or eighty years was an extremely unfamiliar word. Most of his face was hidden in the shadows. The flickering candlelight made his eyes flicker, and his whole body showed a strange softness. This shows that the big devil not only has a strange way of laughing, but also a strange time to relax. He was impatient to kill someone just now, but now he suddenly became lazy. Zhu Yanyin even felt that if he didn't say anything, it might not be long before this ancestor would sleep leisurely on the beam.
So he quickly reminded: "When are we going to rescue Brother Ming Chuan?"
Li Sui swept his sleeves, and the cheap carved bed underneath creaked and shook, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
Zhu Yanyin: "You...you...killed them?"
Li Sui said: "You want me to kill them?"
Zhu Yanyin breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s not me, I didn’t do that. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Li Sui brought him to the ground
In the next room, Zhao Mingchuan had already woken up. Although he was injured and in danger, he was not panicked. On the contrary, when he saw Liu Xiyang who was also trapped, he felt a sense of relief that he had found the truth: "Brother Liu has been locked up here for the past half month?"
"Yes." Liu Xiyang's voice was hoarse, and he moved closer to him desperately, "Brother Zhao, please try to untie the rope for me. We have to find a way ourselves. I'm afraid that vicious woman has already escaped."
Li Sui frowned.
Zhao Mingchuan was confused and didn't understand: "Escape?"
Liu Xiyang said, "That vicious woman went out this time, it seems that she wanted to bribe the sons of famous families for the Demon Cult, as an insider in the Wulin Alliance. She saw someone being hunted by various sects last night, and thought she could win over another expert who had nowhere to go. Who knew that later under the light, she found out that it was you, Brother Zhao. Everyone knows the relationship between Mingjian Sect and Wanren Palace, how dare she provoke you, her face changed immediately."
Li Sui's expression also changed: "Someone come!"
Zhu Yanyin was eavesdropping with bated breath, but was frightened by the shout. "Who's coming? Are there your people here?"
The disciples of Wanren Palace had been guarding around Zuichunlou last night and did not find anyone escaping. However, after checking the rooms, they discovered that there was an underground tunnel in this brothel. A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on their backs: "It was my fault."
"Palace Master Li! Palace Master Li! We are here!" Liu Xiyang, who was next door, heard the noise and shouted at the top of his voice.
Li Sui was annoyed by the noise and struck out with his backhand.
The wooden partition wall shattered and Liu Xiyang fainted.
Zhao Mingchuan, who was about to call for help, said: "..."
Zhu Yanyin trotted over to untie the rope: "Brother Mingchuan, you didn't—"
The man was dragged away by the big devil again.
The guards of the Zhu Mansion had been guarding around Zuichunlou for a long time. When they saw their son being brought out, they immediately surrounded him. Li Sui glanced at the person in his arms and asked, "Do you want to go back to the inn, or go with me to kill someone?"
Large snow-white pendant Zhu Ergongzi: "…"
Li Sui was somewhat displeased with his silence, but he still returned the person to Zhu Zhang, mounted his horse, and chased after him out of the city.
"You be careful too!" Zhu Yanyin shouted from behind.
Li Sui did not look back, but used his sleeves to wrap up the wind, sweeping down the flowers on the trees on both sides of the long street.
The red flowers are scattered like rain, and the stars are in my arms.
…
When the Wulin League heard the news, they also rushed to the brothel. Liu Xiyang had suffered a lot in the past few days and was lying weakly on the bed. However, the Liu Family Gang members were very happy to see him half dead. They surrounded him like welcoming a triumphant general. The man was found, alive, and had been abused, which was enough to prove that he was also a victim and had nothing to do with the Demon Cult. They were very happy.
As for Zhao Mingchuan, no one expected that the thief running around the city last night would be him. Wan Zhuyun called a meeting early this morning, and all the important people went, except for the famous Jianmen who claimed to be ill. But even so, no one raised any doubts, and everyone believed him when he said he was ill, which shows that Young Master Zhao is really popular.
After hearing the whole story, more than a dozen other martial arts sects also led their disciples out of the city to chase after the woman - even though Li Sui was there, the Demon Cult was the public enemy of the martial arts world and now it had shown its power, so naturally everyone could not sit idly by.
As for Wan Zhuyun, he was originally going to go as well, but Zhao Mingchuan suddenly sneaked into Shannan Inn in the middle of the night, obviously there was some inside story, so he stayed to handle the follow-up matters personally.
Zhao Mingchuan was helped downstairs by his disciples and said straight to the point: "I suspect that Shangru Villa has some dealings with the Demon Cult."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the other sects present were shocked, remembering the old monk Du Qian who was drowsy all day long and only took money without asking about anything... Was he involved with the Demon Cult
Zhao Mingchuan has found a lot of things during this period. Although there is no evidence of direct contact between Du Qian and the Fire Temple, he found a medicine bag with the residue of the Soul-Driver Grass in the garbage discarded by Shangru Villa. Jiang Shenglin also said that the impulsiveness and anger of the Wulin League a while ago were due to excessive intake of the Soul-Driver Grass. In addition, he also talked with many sects and found that in several major conflicts, there was always the shadow of Shangru Villa fanning the flames, as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
After he said this, Liu Xiyang beside him also reacted: "Yes, yes, the reason why we want to leave the team is because we heard from Master Du that if we take a boat from Linzhou, we will pass by many colorful wine and women places along the way, which is much more comfortable than traveling day and night."
"How dare you say that!" The leader of the Liu Clan Gang was so angry at his disappointing nephew that he raised his hand and slapped him.
Both of them pointed out that there was something wrong with Shangru Villa. Wan Zhuyun glanced at the crowd and asked, "Where is Hall Master Du?"
Someone answered: "Hey, he just said he wanted to come with us, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Wan Zhuyun realized that something was wrong and took people to look for him, but the Shannan Inn was already empty and there was no trace of Du Qian.
"Chase!"
…
It was so quiet outside the city that there was not even a trace of wind.
"Gee!" A woman was galloping in the forest. She was wearing a green coarse cloth dress and looked plain. She looked like an ordinary peasant woman. Only the bright red nail polish on her fingertips showed a hint of abnormality that was inconsistent with her status. The way she rode the horse also showed the appearance of a martial artist.
Li Sui was like a black hurricane, whistling through the woods.
The woman dodged alertly and avoided the fatal palm strike, but she fell off the horse.
Li Sui looked at him coldly: "Are you from Chi Tian?"
The woman dropped two swords from her sleeves. "I have never seen the Red Sky Sect Leader, Palace Master Li, please stop slandering me."
She knew she was no match for Li Sui, so she didn't want to fight. The dagger in her sleeve was just a cover, and the smoke bomb that fell into her palm along with the knife was her only way to survive. She took advantage of Li Sui's unpreparedness and took two steps back at a very fast speed. A thick fog exploded in the forest, with a pungent smell that made it impossible to open one's eyes.
The woman's figure then disappeared without a trace, as light as a ghost.
Kicking Snow Wuzhui couldn't stand the blinding fog, so he trotted back a bit, and it didn't seem like he had any intention of chasing anyone.
Li Sui didn't either. With a grim expression, he drew the Xiangjun Sword from its sheath and swept it through the air with a mighty force.
boom!
The entire woodland exploded.
It really exploded, as if several tons of explosives were ignited at the same time. Dust, gravel and fallen leaves first rushed into the air, and then fell down like rain, breaking the treetops. It was really a flying sand and stone explosion. The huge airflow stirred up a foul smell and also blew away the mist. Deep in the woods, a gray figure was seen leaping up swiftly, barely avoiding the knife-like internal force behind him.
The woman fell to the ground in shock and continued to flee deeper into the jungle.
More than a dozen other sects had also arrived at the woods at this time, with great ambition to capture the demon. However, as soon as they arrived, they witnessed Li Sui's mid-air slash. His powerful internal strength, which was almost like that of a ghost or god, shocked everyone speechless, and then they developed a negative mentality of "Why should I come here?" They were stunned for a while before they remembered that they should go up to help.
The woman fell to the ground with a thud, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Other sects: “…”
How come it’s so fast? Weren’t you running just now
Li Sui retracted his move and landed on the ground. The metal collision sound of Xiangjun Sword returning to its sheath made everyone shudder. Some smart people quickly took out ropes to tie up the woman, but found that her pupils were dilated and she had already died.
"Palace Master Li, there was a poison sac embedded in her fingernail, and she just bit it and committed suicide."
Li Sui frowned. He originally wanted to leave him alive.
The crowd brought horses and took the woman's body back to the city.
However, Wan Zhuyun on the other side failed to find Du Qian and his group. The mountain road was empty, without a single ghost in sight, so he had to turn back temporarily.
Zhu Yanyin had been staying in the inn, feeling uneasy, as if there were nails on the chair. After finally hearing the news that Li Sui had returned, he disappeared from the room in a flash.
Zhu Zhang, holding a teacup: "…"
Zhao Mingchuan, who was lying on the bed: "..."
Li Sui threw the reins to his disciple and grabbed the young man from Jiangnan who almost fell on his face due to tripping over the door threshold because he ran too fast.
Zhu Yanyin asked: "How is it?"
Li Sui replied: "Dead."
Zhu Yanyin glanced at the hand holding his arm and asked as calmly as possible, "What kind of death?"
Li Sui answered cruelly, I used the hand you are looking at now to crush her head, and her brains were all over my hands.
Zhu Yanyin's face turned pale: "Let go quickly!"
Li Sui was very mean. He let go of his grip, but the next moment, he pinched his face at lightning speed.
Zhu Yanyin: Ahhh!
His hair stood on end and he rushed back crying to wash his face.
Li Sui leaned against the tree and laughed for a long time.
Lan Yan stood on the second floor, looking at this strange scene, and fell into a long silence.
Jiang Shenglin still insisted: "No problem, this is all normal!"
Zhu Yanyin washed his face about eighteen times before the housekeeper came in and said, "Palace Master Li did not crush anyone's head. I have already asked the martial arts sects that went with him, and everyone can testify to this."
Mr. Zhu had a face that was red from washing and a look of resentment. "Is that so? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhu Xiaosui took the opportunity to say, "Young Master, you should stay away from Palace Master Li in the future."
Zhu Yan was vague and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."
Then, within an hour, he personally pushed Zhao Mingchuan in a wheelchair and ran to the meeting room of the Wulin Alliance, so excited that no one could stop him.
Zhu Xiaosui: “…”
Life is not easy, the book boy sighed.
People from all sects were there. When Liu Xiyang saw Tan Shuqiu in the crowd, his eyes flashed unconsciously, as if he was extremely guilty.
"Why don't you explain the matter clearly?" the leader of the Liu Clan scolded, "You are lucky this time. If you hide anything again, I will not forgive you!"
"Yes." Liu Xiyang was as frosted as an eggplant. "The four of us had never thought of taking the water route. No matter how hard the journey was, we only complained a few words. As a result, one day, Master Du heard us and mentioned that taking the water route would be much more comfortable, but the cost would be high."
Liu Xiyang and his three companions usually loved to enjoy themselves, and now when they heard that they could eat, drink and have fun while traveling, their minds could not help but become active. After a private discussion, they decided to find an excuse to visit Master Chan Ji and go to Linzhou to have a good time.
As for why he wanted to bring Tan Shuqiu along, it was purely for money. Although the Canglang Gang had no status, it was rich, and both the father and son of the Tan family had gullible faces. So Cui Wei went to invite Tan Shuqiu, and as expected, the other party was ecstatic and agreed immediately.
Tan Shan was so angry that his face turned pale: "If you only wanted to cheat me of money, why did you kill my son later?"
"We didn't intend to kill him." Liu Xiyang quickly explained, "We originally planned to find a way to drive him back to the Wulin Alliance after defrauding him of his money, but that night Brother Cui suddenly mentioned that he had learned a new formation that was so powerful that it could trap peerless masters. The three of us didn't believe him and laughed at him for bragging again. Brother Cui then set up a formation in the forest and tricked Brother Tan and his followers in."
Sure enough, after a whole night, Tan Shuqiu and his group still hadn't come out of the forest. The other three believed that Cui Wei was really good at setting up the formation, and urged him to break the formation and release the people.
"As a result, Brother Cui only knows how to set up the formation, but doesn't know how to break it. After studying it for a long time, he made the formation even more confusing."
The four of them panicked for a while and wanted to turn back for help, but then they were possessed by a ghost... Liu Xiyang avoided Tan Shuqiu's sight and said, "Brother Cui is afraid that his research on unorthodox magic will be known to others, so he doesn't agree to return to the Wulin Alliance. He also said that the formation will be solved by itself in three days, so we will leave first."
Zhu Yanyin was speechless when he heard this. Even if Cui Wei said that the formation would be broken in three days, couldn't the remaining three people guard outside the forest for three days? They actually left so rashly. Did they really believe Cui Wei's words, or did they just want to comfort themselves and didn't care about Tan Shuqiu's life or death at all? I'm afraid it was the latter.
Tan Shan was also furious and was about to hit someone. The leader of the Liu Clan had to beg for mercy. Wan Zhuyun also said a few words to comfort him before continuing to ask, "Who was that woman? And how did Cui Wei, Zhao Honghu, and Ge Changye die?"
"She was from the Demon Cult. She killed all of them with her own hands." Liu Xiyang still looked extremely frightened when recalling that bloody night. "At first, we thought she was just an ordinary peasant woman."
The first time they met was in Xiaonan Village. Four of them were resting in a tea stall and discussing going to Linzhou Flower and Bird Market to buy antiques. The woman at the table next to them suddenly took out a jade pendant from her bosom and begged Liu Xiyang to help estimate its price.
"I saw that the jade pendant was of excellent quality, so I offered to buy it."
Perhaps because he had just swindled a large sum of money from Tan Shuqiu, Liu Xiyang was extremely generous. When the woman heard that she could sell so much money, she was overjoyed. She even said that she had a lot of such things at home, which were dug out from the ground by her husband, and she wondered if they could be sold together.
Liu Xiyang was best at collecting antiques, and the other three knew this and naturally would not disappoint his interest. Besides, the woman happened to be from the country of Linzhou, and since they were going the same way, they agreed to travel together.
Zhu Yanyin listened very carefully. Because there were too many people in the meeting room, he didn't want to sit down, so he stood behind Zhao Mingchuan to help him hold the wheelchair. The people around him also knew what to do, and they all stepped back a few steps to make sure there was plenty of space around the two of them.
After a while, Lan Yan suddenly came over and said, "Master Zhu, my palace master asked me to come over to help."
Zhu Yanyin was puzzled and asked her quietly: "What can I help you with?"
Lan Yan replied: "Help support Young Master Zhao."
Zhao Mingchuan was both confused and flattered. Why did you help me? I was sitting well and didn't need any help.
Lan Yan took the wheelchair from Zhu Yanyin. Although she didn't know why she took on such a job, it was because her palace master had been mentally unstable recently.
Li Sui was sitting opposite him. When he saw Zhu Yanyin squeezing through the crowd towards him, he tapped his fingers on the table twice and even looked at Liu Xiyang with a much more favorable attitude.
If no one dared to crowd around Zhu Yanyin, then no one dared to get close to Li Sui either. It was probably because the conference hall was not big enough, otherwise all the heroes in the martial arts world would have performed a show of no one living within a radius of three miles. Now they kept a distance of about three feet, which was just enough for the second young master Zhu to stand there in snow-white and fluffy clothes.
Li Sui was in a good mood. He glanced and saw someone bringing a big chair over: "Mr. Zhu, please sit down!"
Zhu Yanyin couldn't refuse in front of everyone, so he had to sit down. But the chair was too big, and it was usually used for lunch break. When people sat down, they would lean back unconsciously, and their temperament would be different from everyone else's. After all, everyone was here to discuss martial arts matters, except for Mr. Zhu, who was leaning back in the recliner and looked like he was taking a nap.
Li Sui also lazily supported his forehead. He had no expression on his face most of the time. Only when he turned his head to look at the people around him would he chuckle.
Zhu Yanyin, who was completely slumped in the soft chair, said: "..."
Is it funny
