"Haha, kid, I'll be waiting." The old man in black robe didn't care about Li Tianfu's threat at all. He responded with a sneer. As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Li Wenyi meaningfully.
Li Wenyi was impulsive just now and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the other party. The old man's actions showed that Li Tianfu's concerns were correct. If Li Wenyi had rushed forward rashly, he would have been killed on the spot by the old man.
Facing the old man's gaze, Li Wenyi was filled with resentment, but she was secretly glad that her senior brother reminded her in time.
When it comes to martial arts experience, it is obvious that Long Hu's four female disciples are far inferior to the four male disciples.
If Li Tianfu had not considered the safety of several junior sisters and the seriously injured junior brother, he would have fought to the death with the old man in black robe, and would not stop until his death for killing his master.
But when he thought about the fact that his master was gone, and his fellow apprentices who were slightly better in martial arts were all injured, leaving only four ignorant apprentice sisters, he had to suppress his anger and let the man in black go for the time being.
The man in black robe also understood that if Li Tianfu disregarded everything, even if he didn't die today, he would lose half his life, so he didn't want to make any more trouble and immediately left.
After the man in black robe left, Li Tianfu, despite his serious injuries, immediately came to Yi Jiangnan and forcibly injected a stream of true energy into him to help Yi Jiangnan stabilize his injuries and forcibly keep him alive.
Seeing this scene, the four female disciples all burst into tears. They certainly didn't want the eldest brother to force himself like this, but they also didn't want the second brother to die. Seeing the eldest brother dragging his seriously injured body to heal the second brother, they felt helpless and could only turn into endless sadness.
After helping Yi Jiangnan stabilize his injuries, Li Tianfu finally collapsed from his injuries.
All the male disciples of the Eight Immortals Longhu were severely injured. On the cliff, there were only five people who were still conscious, the four women and Li Gufeng. Li Gufeng's face was ashen, and his lips were bitten by him, but he was still unaware of it.
Watching his senior brother fighting desperately while he was powerless to do anything, how painful it must have been for the famous and arrogant Li Gufeng.
No matter how ashamed or aggrieved he felt, some decisions still had to be made by him.
Yang Zhengjian carried the eldest senior brother on his back without hesitation, and Li Wenyi also resolutely carried the second senior brother on his back and staggered towards him.
When they got closer, Yang Zhengjian said anxiously, "Third Senior Brother, let's go to the bottom of the cliff to find Fourth Senior Brother. I hope Fourth Senior Brother is blessed with a good fortune and can survive."
"There is no time to lose, let's get over there quickly." Everyone knew very well what was going on after falling from such a high cliff, but no one spoke out loud.
Li Gufeng nodded silently, and walked down the mountain with the support of Wenlan and Yangguang.
The mountain wind was howling, the heaven and earth were wailing, and the seven brothers and sisters searched almost every corner under the cliff, but still could not find Gai Songtao, not even a strand of his hair.
As they felt lost, they couldn't help but have another thought: could it be that the fourth senior brother had some fortuitous encounter, fell into the cave of some master, and then obtained a rare elixir and cultivated unparalleled martial arts? When he succeeded, he would come back to find them
Of course, the only people who had this idea were Wenlan and Yangguang.
Unable to find Gai Songtao, the few of them wandered under the cliff for several days. Only when they were sure that they had searched every inch of land did they prepare to leave in despair.
According to Yang Zhengjian's idea, it would be more appropriate to rush back to Longhu. After all, that is their home. It is natural for them to want to return home after encountering a major change outside.
Now, for them, three senior brothers were seriously injured, and what they urgently wanted was a safe and reliable place to recuperate. But at this moment, Li Gufeng waved his hand to stop everyone.
Li Gufeng looked at the junior sisters and said solemnly, "The old thief in black robe killed our master, and then pretended to be our master and managed Longhu for several years. Junior sisters, think about it, if we go back to the palace now, will the people in the palace believe us or the old thief?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Zhengjian, Li Wenyi and others frowned. Even Wenlan and Yangguang showed hesitation.
None of Mo Lingtian's eight disciples are mediocre. It is impossible for a mediocre person to have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.
Perhaps they would be helpless when facing a Tianxuan master, but once the opponent was below Tianxuan, even if it was a peerless general, the remaining four women would dare to fight.
After hearing what Li Gufeng said, the four of them instantly understood their situation. No matter what, they could not go back, at least not now.
Mo Lingtian is almost an emperor in Longhu. For him to say who is guilty is just a matter of a word.
If they can't go back to Longhu, then the problem arises again. You know, although they are talented, they are not very good at making money. This can be seen from the fact that Wenlan eats and drinks for free and Yangguang likes to run around but can't afford to hire a carriage.
Now that they can’t go back to the palace, where else can they go
Li Gufeng frowned slightly and spoke again: "Not only can we not return to the palace, we can't stay in Sichuan and Shu any longer. Who knows what that old villain will do to us after he returns? If he orders the brothers and sisters in the palace to capture us together, we will be unable to move forward in the whole of Sichuan and Shu, right?"
Everyone's faces became even gloomier after hearing this. Li Wenyi said, "Then according to Third Senior Brother, where should we go now?"
After hearing this, Li Gufeng thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said solemnly: "In my opinion, we should go to the Great Snow Mountain; there is white snow and ice everywhere, it is remote and sparsely populated, it is a quiet place, and it is also suitable for the three of us to heal our wounds and recuperate."
After hearing this, the other four girls thought for a moment and then nodded immediately.
For people like them who are in the martial arts world, it is very common to find a place where there are few people to practice meditation and heal injuries. The Great Snow Mountain is a good place as it is rarely visited by people.
The Great Snow Mountain is located in the southwest of Shuzhong and the northwest of Nanzhao. If the few people want to go to the Great Snow Mountain, if they don’t go through Shuzhong, they must take a detour through Yongchang and then go northwest.
Xielong County, the administrative county of Yongchang, is where the residence of Yongchang Jiedushi Duan Qiuqian is located.
In the 14th year of Xiantong, Shi Long and Duan Qiu moved the capital and participated in the northern attack on Sichuan. After the defeat, both of them were captured. Later, the King of Nanzhao, Shilong, spent a large sum of money to redeem the two back to Nanzhao.
Shi Long was grateful and became a loyal royalist.
But it was different for Duan Qiuqian. After being captured, he became a fad person, flattering the strong and despising the weak. To him, nothing mattered, saving his own life was the most important thing.
Therefore, Duan Qiuqian now became a supporter of Zheng Maisi; Zheng Maisi was defeated in the struggle for power with Yang Deng and fled to Yongchang, where he lived in Duan Qiuqian's mansion.
Originally, Zheng Maisi wanted Duan Qiuqian to send troops to help him avenge Yang Deng, but the situation in Nanzhao was completely disrupted by the sudden rise of Yuchi Jin.
Yuchi Jin controls the six major military governorships, unifies the eastern part of Nanzhao, and wields his sword across the world. Who dares to offend him lightly
The two most powerful ministers of Nanzhao immediately put aside their grudges, joined hands, and led the people of western Nanzhao to compete with Yuchi Jin to see who would have the last laugh.
It was under such circumstances that Xielong County welcomed Li Gufeng and his group. This group of people were in a very miserable situation. Along the way, if it were not for Yang Zhengjian's excellent medical skills, they probably would not even have enough food to eat.
When the group arrived at Xielong County, everyone looked listless, as they had not had a full meal for several days.
Yang Zhengjian carried Li Tianfu on his back, Li Wenyi carried Yi Jiangnan on his back, and the remaining Wenlan and Yangguang supported Li Gufeng. It was as miserable as one could describe.
At this moment, a disheveled and dirty-looking young girl suddenly appeared from the side. She was wearing tattered beggar's clothes. Her outstretched little hand was pitch black, and under her nose, there were two caterpillar-like snots hanging, going in and out in a very regular pattern with her breathing.
As soon as the young lady appeared, she stretched out her pitch-black little hand and scratched Yangguang's face as fast as the wind. Yangguang's originally fair and tender face was caught off guard and was immediately scratched by the young lady.
"Ah!" Yangguang exclaimed, and immediately stretched out his free hand to cover his little face.
Looking around, her pretty face was suddenly scratched by the young lady who rushed out, and it turned black. Her originally clear and beautiful face immediately turned like a little cat, with blue and black streaks, and she suddenly lost her original beauty.
Coupled with her miserable spirit, the sun now looked more like a poor beggar.
"Haha, I hate to see fair and tender young ladies. Who are you showing off your pitiful face to? It's just that you're giving away to those stinky men. Slurp, slurp."
The ragged young lady, who looked like she had just come out of a chimney, scratched Yangguang's scratched little face, looked at him with a tearful expression, sniffed the two noodle-like snot under her nostrils, and said with great pride.
After she finished speaking, her dark little face turned towards Wenlan with ill intentions. Apparently, this girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere seemed not satisfied with her little face that was scratched by the sun, and she set her sights on Wenlan again.
Unfortunately, after Yangguang's experience, Wenlan had already been alert. She opened her beautiful eyes wide and glared at the other party, threatening like a little tiger: "You beggar, don't mess around, or I'll beat you up."
While threatening the other party, Wenlan had already been on full alert, staring at the other party's pitch-black little hand without blinking, fearing that she would suddenly hit her.
Her expression made the ragged young girl unable to do anything. Her pair of lively eyes on her dark face rolled around, as if she had an idea. However, before she could carry out her conspiracy, another group of people rushed out from the side.
