Li Keyong had long planned to pass the throne of King of Jin to him, but Li Siyuan had many followers in Jin and was vicious. Li Keyong was worried that after he passed away, Li Cunmao would not be Li Siyuan's opponent, so he had long intended to suppress Li Siyuan.
But Li Siyuan was not a good person either. He had guessed his adoptive father's thoughts long ago and had been keeping a low profile in the past few years, hibernating like the white-browed viper he raised. Whenever he saw Li Keyong, he would lower his head and be submissive, and was extremely filial to the point that Li Cunmao mocked him.
This made Li Keyong unable to find an excuse to deal with him.
Just at this time, Ding Shimaan appeared.
He used the earth-traveling magic to sneak into Tongwenguan, and defeated Li Siyuan openly at the headquarters of Tongwenguan, greatly losing face for Li Siyuan.
Although his origins were mysterious, he had little connection with other factions in Jin State and was a rare "clean man".
Li Keyong also suspected that Ding Shimaan was related to the Bad People.
So after he used the Supreme Saint Qiankun Kung to lure Ding Shimaan to stay and become a guest official in Tongwenguan, while teaching him the Supreme Saint Qiankun Kung, he was also testing Ding Shimaan's background.
The mission to capture Li Xingyun this time is also a test.
If he was one of the thirty-six captains of the Bad Guys, then there would definitely be unusual movements in the capture of Li Xingyun.
By then, Li Keyong will...
...He will also be used to check and balance Li Siyuan, but he will no longer be allowed to interfere in the core secrets of the Jin State.
He's just a spy. Do you think Li Keyong doesn't know that the bad guys have planted an undercover agent in the State of Jin?
Anyway, once Li Siyuan's faction is suppressed or eliminated, his knife will be broken or discarded by Li Keyong.
"Don't worry, I am also very interested in the combined attack method of the Five Yama Lords."
Ding Shimaan leaned against the window, looking at the duel between Li Xingyun and the Five Yama Lords in the distance.
Although he joined Quan Xing, Ding Shimaan was a very good person and never played tricks on Quan Xing people. He would never cause a big disturbance in Longhu Mountain for no reason.
That's why he was loved by many seniors and taught him skills. He only liked to surpass himself and perfect his body, and was not interested in other things.
The reason he joined Tongwenguan was actually the same reason he joined Quanxing.
Ding Shimaan was a man of extraordinary talent and high comprehension. It was not that no senior had ever thought of accepting him as a disciple, but he had rejected them all.
He knew his own temper. If he joined a sect and went out to challenge enemies with excessive force, it would definitely damage the sect's reputation, so he refused all offers. However, if he didn't join a sect, he wouldn't be able to learn many of the sect's unique skills.
Only someone like Bi Yuan, who is eager to see the world in chaos, would teach him everything he knows and wait and see how big a storm he can cause.
But the world of Bad Handsome is different.
It was a time of chaos and it was common for sects to fight against each other. As long as he joined Tongwenguan, the other forces would naturally regard him as an enemy.
As long as he stood at the gate of Miaoyinfang or the main hall of Xuanming Sect, he would be ridiculed to the fullest, and Xuanming Sect and Miaoyinfang would naturally want to kill him.
It was just right that Tongwenguan didn't trust him, and there were some tasks he just didn't want to do, so it was just right for him to be a guest official and stay outside Tongwenguan.
As soon as he joined Tongwenguan, he had the opportunity to challenge the conspiracy of the Five Yama Lords of Xuanming Sect.
Ding Shimaan stroked his chin with great interest, and inspiration emerged in his mind: "I never thought that the little minions in the early days of Xuanming Sect actually had this skill."
Li Xingyun held the Longquan sword and sang the Qinglian sword song, but was defeated by the five Yama Kings and vomited blood repeatedly.
Chongde, Yuanxin, Zhaoyi, and Xuanli are slightly less powerful, so they are entangled in all directions.
Jiang Yuanxin's fist was as strong as a mountain, blocking the sword of Li Xingyun. The two brothers Zhaoyi and Xuanli supported him from the side and formed the twin dragons of water and fire, circling the mountain.
The most troublesome one was Jiang Renjie. Jin Feng's palm was as sharp as a sword, but he held it in his hand and did not fire it. He moved around the five people, waiting for Li Xingyun to catch his breath and change his moves. When he was distracted, he suddenly drew out a cold sword from the dark, and chopped towards Li Xingyun with his palm as a knife.
Li Xingyun's left chest and back were both inch-deep wounds. If Li Xingyun's cultivation was not higher than Jiang Renjie's and his reaction was not faster than Jiang Renjie's, his internal organs would have been pierced by him long ago.
However, Li Xingyun was already covered in wounds, and his sword was not as steady and swift as at the beginning.
"Senior brother."
Lu Linxuan, who was holding back the Xuanming Sect's minions for Li Xingyun, saw his senior brother being attacked by Jiang Renjie again, and couldn't help but warn him. However, because he was distracted, he was hit by the spiritual spear shot by the Xuanming Sect's minions.
The poison tempered by the spiritual sword was extremely powerful and immediately spread through Lu Linxuan's wound and to the nearby skin, causing him to fall to the ground and unable to get up.
Jiang Xuanli suddenly left the battle, smiled lewdly, and walked towards Lu Linxuan.
"Don't touch her!"
Seeing Jiang Xuanli walking towards Lu Linxuan with ill intentions, Li Xingyun yelled, veins bulged on his neck, and rushed towards Lu Linxuan defenselessly.
Even if it means getting injured, I must save Lu Linxuan first.
'good chance.'
The palm knife stabbed the back, the hard fist hit the chest, and the double dragons poured down on the head.
The remaining four Yama Kings were waiting for the moment when Li Xingyun lost his mind. Without the hint from his eldest brother, how could Jiang Xuanli dare to suddenly leave the battlefield?
Li Xingyun was in a desperate situation, but his eyes were still filled with worry for his junior sister. However, the next second, his pupils were seen trembling.
Li Xingyun's eyes were like a mirror, and the image in front of him was reflected in them. There was a man leaping out of the ground like a whale, and he grabbed the back of Jiang Xuanli's head with his palm, and threw him to the ground with the momentum of falling.
The ground cracked as well, and the man swung out his left palm again.
Wind, strong wind,
Like the wind pouring down from the sky and the waves surging from the mountains.
The east wind was fierce, like a thousand knives cutting the body. In the strong wind, the four Jiang brothers could only snuggle up to each other and work together to block the wind.
When the wind died down a bit, Li Xingyun had already been pulled behind Ding Shimaan.
Of the five Xuanming Sect Yama Lords who had just beaten Li Xingyun so hard that he had no power to fight back, one was knocked unconscious to the ground, and the remaining four only had minor scratches on their bodies, like kittens that had just experienced a rainstorm, they were still frightened and anxious.
With one palm strike in the air, he pushed back four enemies.
Hero Ding Shimaan appears.
Chapter 402: The Dark Soldiers Passing Through
Ding Shimaan suppressed the Five Yama Kings, but Li Xingyun ignored him, staggered over Ding Shimaan, ran to Lu Linxuan, checked her injuries, and used Huayang acupuncture to suppress the toxins in her body.
"Bald head, red veil between eyebrows, you are Ding Shimaan!!"
The explosive news that Ding Shimaan defeated Li Siyuan shocked the world and sparked heated discussions among people. If it weren't for the fact that more popular news about Li Xingyun and the Longquan treasure suddenly emerged in the martial arts world, the topic would probably have been discussed for even longer.
Ding Shimaan has outstanding looks and distinct features. Jiang Renjie recognized Ding Shimaan's identity with just a glance.
Jiang Chongde said sternly: "Is Tongwenguan going to go to war with Xuanming Sect?"
With one move of splitting palm, the four brothers were unable to open their eyes and could not straighten their backs. He had only seen such skill in the Hades.
Just roaring was already Jiang Chongde's limit. If he hadn't been clinging to the Xuanming Sect's skin and his elder brother Jiang Renjie was still at the forefront, he would have run away long ago.
"No, no, we in Tongwenguan have always been polite before using force. Mr. Ding is just eager to protect the emperor."
Zhang Zifan came in gracefully, waving a folding fan with the Tongwenguan pattern painted on it.
Following him came the Tongwenguan followers who were slowly surrounding him, wearing black and white opera masks.
Zhang Zifan saluted Li Xingyun first: "I am Zhang Zifan from Tongwenguan, I am honored to meet your Highness. I am entrusted by the King of Jin to invite your Highness to enter Jin."
Li Xingyun did not respond.
Jiang Renjie frowned, "Master Zhang Zifan from Tongwenguan? Ding Shiman injured your adoptive father, and you are still with him."
Zhang Zifan shook his head: "Mr. Ding and my godfather are just friends through martial arts. My godfather is not a narrow-minded person. Although he is one step behind, he still admires Mr. Ding's martial arts and asked me to learn more from him."
Ding Shimaan curled his lips and said nothing.
Only Zhang Zifan, the adopted son raised by Li Siyuan, has such a deep filter that he would think that Li Siyuan is so broad-minded that he doesn't mind at all that Ding Shimaan defeated him and lost face.
In particular, Li Keyong made it clear that he wanted to use Ding Shimaan to check and balance Li Siyuan.
At this time, Jiang Renjie just felt unlucky. Logically speaking, capturing Li Xingyun was important, but before Li Xingyun showed his heavenly strength, the top masters of various sects would not take action.
If everything has to be handled by a master of the Great Heavenly Rank, then what are the subordinates like them doing?
However, Tongwenguan did not follow the usual practice and sent out Ding Shiman, who was at least a Great Heavenly Level warrior.
Shouldn't such a master be worshipped first? What's the difference between what you are doing in Tongwenguan and using a cannon to kill a mosquito or using a gold-forged knife to kill a person?
They are all sick!
Jiang Renjie was unwilling to leave like this, and he turned his eyes and shouted to the sky: "Colleagues from Huanyinfang, there is no need to hide, come out!"
You should know that when Li Xingyun first entered the martial arts world, the first people he came into contact with were Ji Ruxue, the maid of the Empress of Huanyin Pavilion, and the Black and White Impermanence of the Xuanming Sect.
Since Tongwenguan, which had nothing to do with Li Xingyun in the beginning, could find its way to Yuzhou City, it is impossible that the people from Huanyinfang had no news at all.
After Jiang Renjie shouted, no one responded, but he did not feel embarrassed. He shouted coldly: "Do you think you are a match for Ding Shian?!"
"With Ding Shiman here, you guys won't be able to get Li Xingyun and Longquan Sword either. Why don't we cooperate!"
A breeze blew by, carrying with it the rich scent of cosmetics. It was as if I was by the Qinhuai River, with a beautiful woman beside me, breathing and nibbling my earlobe, letting my imagination run wild.
The fragrant wind arrived first, and then the sweet laughter reached everyone's ears:
"Why should we cooperate with you? A strong man like Brother Ding, wouldn't he be kind to women?"
The people from Miaoyinfang finally showed up. Except for Ji Ruxue, who was very familiar to Li Xingyun, the leader of this operation was wearing a veil, covering what should be covered and revealing what should be revealed, with seductive eyes.
Jiang Renjie said: "You are the Brahma Sound Heaven among the Nine Heavens Saints."
"It's my concubine."
Fan Yintian bowed and looked up to see Jiang Chongde. Jiang Xuanli was staring at him with lustful eyes, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he returned the stare with a seductive look.
But she saw that Jiang Chongde and Jiang Xuanli were unmoved and still staring at her. She picked up her handkerchief, pretended to wipe away her tears, half-covered them, leaned against her sister on the right, and sighed sadly:
"Sister, I am really old. I am not as young and beautiful as my younger sister."
The woman Fanyintian relied on had long pink hair and a graceful figure. Even in her palace dress, one could tell she was determined to fight for her life. She had a beautiful face and a delicate complexion. Most importantly, she had a seductive temperament.
Obviously, Fanyintian was more revealing and wanton than her, but she was still the attractive one.
Seeing her, it was as if the deepest desires in my heart were aroused, and the yellow waste filled my brain, leaving no room for rational thinking.
Didn’t you see that those disciples and followers of Tongwenguan and Xuanming Sect who lacked self-control were all standing and suppressing their guns in a strange way?
A person who is born with a flattering character will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Even Jiang Renjie, who was not interested in women, was dazed for a few moments when he saw her. He finally sorted out his thoughts and turned his head away in fear, not daring to look at her again:
"Who is this?"
"My name is Xia He."
