Liu Xiyang fell heavily to the ground, his neck twisted, and there was no sound anymore.
The yard was silent.
The first person to speak was Liu Gang leader. He looked at Liu Xiyang's body. He had not yet recovered from the great change and had not figured out how his nephew became a traitor. However, with so many martial arts allies watching, as the leader of the Liu Clan, he had to show the proper attitude. He stepped forward and said, "Palace Master Li, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Zhu Yanyin tugged at Li Sui's sleeve and complained in a low voice: "Why did you kill him? Didn't we agree to spare his life first and then investigate him in detail?"
Li Sui replied coldly: "Forgot."
Boss Liu’s body swayed twice and he almost fainted on the spot. This, this, this, you forgot
The other martial arts sects were also upset. Even though the dead weren't one of their own, to kill him without investigating the case was really... but they didn't dare to say anything and just looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zhu Yanyin called the servants to assist the Liu family in carrying Liu Xiyang's body back to the inner room. However, Li Sui was obviously not in the mood to take care of these things. After killing the man, he left with frost and snow all over his body, his long hair flying in the wind, and it looked like he could kill another hundred people.
So scary.
Pan Shihou, who was under house arrest, also heard about this. Zhu Yanyin told him personally and asked a question: "Do you have a grudge against Liu Xiyang, or do you know any secrets about him?"
Pan Shihou shook his head: "I don't know him at all."
Zhu Yanyin sat opposite him with a chair in his hand: "Then why did Liu Xiyang spread the news secretly and lead everyone to deal with you?"
Pan Shihou replied: "Maybe he wants to suppress the morale of the Wulin Alliance. After all, my relationship with Palace Master Li—" In front of others, he could still vaguely cling to this matter, but in front of Zhu Yanyin, Pan Shihou had no choice but to shut up.
Zhu Yanyin commented: "It is really unfortunate for the Central Plains martial arts world to have you."
Pan Shihou ignored the sarcasm and said with a bleak expression: "I only want to avenge Jinhua now. As long as I can see Chitian die with my own eyes, as long as he dies, I don't have to live like a walking corpse anymore. I will give an explanation to Alliance Leader Wan and the whole martial arts world."
"Aren't you going to give Palace Master Li an explanation?"
"… "
"But it doesn't matter. He doesn't need your explanation." Zhu Yanyin said, "You can escape with your men this afternoon. We will leave a loophole in the west. But after you leave the Wulin League and enter the territory of the Burning Fire Palace, whether you live or die will depend entirely on your own ability."
Pan Shihou nodded: "Chi Tian loves to win over the righteous martial arts. Even if he knows that Jin Hua died at the hands of the Silver Pen Scholar, he will not give up this opportunity. I'm afraid he will still use sweet words to lure him in."
Zhu Yanyin reminded again: "The sooner you bring back useful information, the sooner the Wulin Alliance can break through the Burning Fire Palace."
Pan Shihou looked at him and said, "I want to see Palace Master Li."
Zhu Yanyin refused: "I don't agree."
Pan Shihou: “…”
But the rich young man from Jiangnan is so confident that if he says you are not allowed to see her, then you are not allowed to see her.
Later, when the various sects were still discussing Liu Xiyang's matter, they heard another piece of news that Pan Shihou had escaped.
Earlier, when the rumor came out that Pan Shihou was willing to collude with the Demon Cult in order to save his son, everyone was murmuring, wondering whether Li Sui would give him a chance to live for the sake of raising him. But now he suddenly escaped - is the defense of Wanren Palace so lax
Wan Zhuyun avoided talking about this matter and just sent a dozen disciples to chase after them perfunctorily, but of course, they found nothing.
The Wulin League seemed to be enveloped by a strange atmosphere. Specifically, "You and I both know that it was Palace Master Li who deliberately let Pan Shihou go, but you and I cannot mention it." As a result, everyone's attitude towards Li Sui also changed subtly. In the past, they were in awe and fear, but now they are still afraid, but... Of course, no one has any concrete evidence, and the situation of the crusade against the Demon Cult is critical, so no one is holding on to this matter, and everyone keeps it in their hearts.
Tan Shuqiu, on the other hand, had a mysterious trust in Li Sui that he didn't know where it came from, and even had a quarrel with his own father because of this. His voice was a little louder, and after being heard by others, it was passed to Zhu Yanyin's ears, saying that it was the old gang leader Tan who reminded his son to go to Wanren Palace and Zhu Mansion less often, so as to avoid being unclear in the future. As a result, Tan Shaoyi refuted it with a righteous word, insisting that Palace Master Li would never be partial to him and cover up for him.
Zhu Yanyin was quite moved when he heard this, but the guard added that the reason was that Young Master Tan felt that Palace Master Li looked very cold-blooded and cruel, so he would definitely not recognize any relatives.
Mr. Zhu: “…”
You'd better stop talking.
That afternoon, the heartless Palace Master Li was sitting at the table, carefully wiping the Xiangjun Sword.
Zhu Yanyin pushed the door open and came in: "Alliance Master Wan received news that Pan Shihou has been taken into the Burning Fire Palace."
Li Sui said: "Chi Tian does think highly of him."
Zhu Yanyin asked: "Are you ready for the final battle with him?"
Li Sui put down his sword: "I have been preparing for many years."
“It’s different.”
"I will live for you."
"You live for us." Zhu Yanyin grabbed his face and taught him a lesson, "If you can't win this time, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's not shameful."
Li Sui smiled: "Okay, I'll remember that."
He always responded to Zhu Yanyin's requests, but he was too impulsive, which made him seem untrustworthy. He just said "Okay, okay, I will live" casually, and then turned around and dragged Chi Tian into the sea of fire. There was no way, the brains of scholars were so good at thinking about random things, so Zhu Yanyin was busier than Wan Zhuyun these days, and he often went into his uncle's room, and it was unknown what important things he was discussing.
Li Sui was actually a person with little curiosity, but since Zhu Yanyin ran away without leaving even his shadow, he asked, "What are you doing recently?"
Mr. Zhu answered casually, "We are discussing how to take you back to Jiangnan."
Li Sui was puzzled: "Answer?"
Zhu Yanyin explained: "There are many rules in our family."
Li Sui: “…”
He was a very stress-free person.
But now it suddenly exists.
…
Pan Shihou seems to be doing well in the Burning Fire Palace.
Because just over ten days later, he sent back a very useful piece of news to Wanren Palace, saying that the Silver Pen Scholar and Huang Ying would go to Yefengkou in five days and set up a new maze there.
"The Wild Wind Pass is in the southeast corner of the Burning Fire Palace. It is a deep and dangerous canyon surrounded by snow-capped mountains." Wan Zhuyun said, "If you want to attack the Burning Fire Palace, this is a shortcut."
Li Sui nodded: "I'll go."
Zhu Yanyin was worried, so he went back to his room and studied the topographic map of Yefengkou for a long time. He even wanted to pester his uncle to borrow the army from him.
Li Sui: “No need.”
Zhu Yanyin suggested: "Now that there are only two of us, you can talk a little longer."
Li Sui pulled the man into his arms: "I don't want to listen."
The big devil is so cruel.
Five days later the weather was even worse, with the sky filled with dark clouds.
Li Sui and the Wanren Palace disciples, a total of more than 20 people, hid quietly in the deep valley of the snow-capped mountains.
Near noon, a group of people appeared on the hillside opposite. However, due to the distance between them, it was difficult to tell who they were.
The shadow guard tightly gripped the hilt of the knife, holding his breath and watching the other party walk around a bend in the mountain, but did not continue down to Yefengkou, but stopped on a concave boulder, as if discussing something.
A tiny grain of snow fell in front of him with a "puff".
The shadow guard's gaze flickered.
Immediately afterwards, another larger piece of ice fell from a great height, and at the same time, there was a dull rumbling sound, which at first seemed to come from the horizon far away, but then soon exploded in the ears.
A huge lump of ice rolled down from a great height!
The ground beneath my feet seemed to be shaking. The snowflakes that were smashed into the sky dyed the view white. A sound came from the sky as if tons of explosives were ignited at the same time... No, it was explosives. The snow and rocks that had been dormant for many years were broken apart by the huge impact force, and rolled down from the height with tremendous force, bringing down more ice, snow, sand and rocks along the way, almost burying the entire valley.
"withdraw!"
The shadow guards all rushed backwards, facing the ice and snow that was falling on their heads. They threw out steel cables with barbs from their sleeves and firmly nailed them to a huge rock behind them. They swung into the air one by one, climbed in the air nimbly like monkeys, and avoided this thrilling catastrophe.
Li Sui drew his sword with one hand, and rushed to the opposite hillside alone on the flying snow. The wind lifted his huge cloak, and the sharp edge of the Xiangjun Sword gleamed in the dim sky. He was about to approach the opponent, but suddenly he withdrew his move and fell to the ground with a grim look in his eyes.
Pan Shihou was tied up and held at sword, his face pale: "Xian... Palace Master Li."
The silver pen scholar looked at Li Sui and clapped his jade fan in his palm: "Palace Master Li is indeed an expert. He was able to escape like this."
Li Sui glanced at Pan Shihou.
The silver pen scholar sneered: "Palace Master Li, you don't think that sending an old man who can't even speak coherently can deceive the leader, right?"
Pan Shihou was still struggling and yelling, "You bastard, give me back my son's life!"
Li Sui said: "Even if I know it's a trap, I can still kill you."
"Palace Master Li is naturally skilled in martial arts, but it's not that easy to kill me." The silver pen scholar pointed downwards, "In order to entertain the Wanren Palace, the leader has put in a lot of effort. This mountain is full of traps, and there is no way back."
"Besides the organs." Li Sui glanced around, "There are probably quite a few people."
The silver pen scholar clapped his hands: "Palace Master Li is indeed amazing."
On the top of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, and behind huge rocks, countless arrows with cold light suddenly came through the wind!
The people in the Burning Fire Hall were well prepared. They were all wearing silver silk soft armor, and after putting on masks, they even covered their heads and faces. The Silver Pen Scholar personally pulled Pan Shihou to flee to the back. He had carefully calculated the location of the rain of arrows and the evacuation route in advance, and there would be no mistakes. However, no matter how carefully he calculated, he could not defeat the world's best master. Li Sui was too lazy to dodge, and directly swept away the iron rain in front of him with a sword. There was no obvious movement under his feet, but he had already caught up with the Silver Pen Scholar. Pan Shihou also took this opportunity to knock the Silver Pen Scholar away with his shoulder and staggered to the direction of Li Sui.
Li Sui reached out and grabbed him.
The Scholar with the Silver Pen knew that he was no match for Li Sui, so he naturally would not continue the fight. He raised his hand and whistled, and immediately a new round of arrows rained down on him. He himself crashed heavily into a hidden mechanism and disappeared in an instant.
Pan Shihou was still in shock: "My dear... my dear nephew."
Li Sui dragged him out of the canyon.
No one knew how many hidden weapons and crossbows Chi Tian had placed on the mountain. The whistling silver rain was even more violent than the avalanche just now. The Wanren Palace disciples wanted to get to Li Sui, but were forced to stay away by the rain of arrows. They could only shout loudly: "Palace Master, west!"
Li Sui threw Pan Shihou behind him and rushed towards the mountain road on the west side.
Pan Shihou also raised a knife to knock down the sharp arrow shot from his back. The cooperation between the two seemed to be barely tacit, and when they were about to leave the most dangerous area, Pan Shihou's wrist seemed to be hit by sand and stones, and the long knife suddenly shook, and turned into a sharp wind, slashing in the direction of Li Sui.
The two were very close to each other, so there should have been no possibility of any mistakes with this move.
But Li Sui moved sideways lightly, leaving him empty-handed. Pan Shihou was startled, and instinctively tried to stop his attack and stand firm, but his body had already flown uncontrollably into the air. He tightly grasped the iron whip that suddenly bit at his waist with both hands, looked at the snow that was getting closer and closer with fear, and shouted hysterically: "No!"
Li Sui grasped the whip handle and suddenly exerted force, smashing him heavily to the snow.
The steel teeth like the sharp teeth of a beast flew up from the ground, biting the people who fell into it and making them bloody. Li Sui ignored the screams behind him and continued to drag him all the way through the narrow valley. Pan Shihou was like a huge test stone, bringing up all the mechanisms along the way. When everything calmed down, he was already covered in blood and only had his last breath left.
"Palace Master!" The disciples of Wanren Palace also gathered around.
Li Sui handed the long whip to the shadow guard and untied his worn leather gloves. He didn't look at the bloody man in the snow and said, "I could have killed you quickly."
Blood was oozing from Pan Shihou's mouth and his eyes were covered with blood.
"But I just want to try and see what's hidden in that snow that makes you want to push me in so badly."
Pan Shihou looked at him through the bright red mist in front of him: "You, you have been prepared."
Li Sui said: "Because I never believed you."
Pan Shihou was unwilling to accept it: "Why?"
"Liu Xiyang is not dead. He confessed everything." Li Sui said, "Also, I already know why the Li Mansion collapsed overnight several years ago."
Pan Shihou's pupils suddenly contracted.
Li Sui lifted his chin with the Xiangjun Sword, his eyes cold: "So I suddenly don't want to give you a happy ending."
