Chapter 238 Murderous Intent
Chapter 238 Murderous Intent
Mou Zhenyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "You are a very straightforward person. Okay, Li Wuxiang, let me think about whether I should give you the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture today or not."
After he said this, he stood there and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was really thinking. Kong Xuan didn't seem to want to participate in this conversation anymore, so he turned around and walked back to the pavilion, and sat back on the beauty's seat.
Li Wuxiang was quite surprised by the two people's behavior - "Think about it" and "Consider it" are usually excuses. But now Mou Zhenyuan was really "thinking" in front of him? !
He glanced at Kong Jingci and saw that she was also looking at him with flickering eyes, as if she was very uneasy.
When I first met her, she acted calm and generous, but now she has this expression like a frightened child, which is really interesting -
Before this thought had finished passing through Li Wuxiang's mind, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Kong Jingci's gaze - she seemed to be glancing slightly towards Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan... Was she hinting at something?
Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment and went to look at Mou Zhenyuan.
Then his skin tightened slightly... "Stupefied"! ?
He immediately held his breath and concentrated, placing himself between the Yang world and the sacred mountain like he did last night, while staring at Mou Zhenyuan intently.
The screams of vengeful spirits suddenly sounded in his ears, blending with the slight sound of the wind in the courtyard. Li Wuxiang felt that in his vision, the blood-red mist merged with the surrounding scenery. In this light red field of vision, he also saw two human figures -
It looks like Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan!
They are two Yang Gods... At this moment, they are Yang Gods talking in Lingshan!
The two figures were indistinct in the blood mist, and their voices were also vague, with only the ups and downs of the sounds being heard. However, Li Wuxiang did not dare to look or listen carefully, because in the sacred mountain, as long as a thought moved, it would be immediately detected by them.
The next moment he realized that the thought in his head at this moment was the "thought" he was worried about - thinking about them!
Then the faces of Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan suddenly became clear, and it seemed that their yang spirits were standing in front of him - Mou Zhenyuan turned his head and glanced at him!
Li Wushang immediately felt that his mind was suddenly blasted away by something, the roar and blood mist in Lingshan suddenly receded, and the golden coil under his skin seemed to be cut into pieces by thousands of knives. The pain made him tremble all over and he almost fell down on the spot!
He suddenly used all his strength to temporarily suppress the severe pain, and then a thought popped into his head -
This is Yang Shen!
Even the Yang God of the Thirty-Six Sects!
With just a glance, he immediately blasted the person who was spying on him out of the sacred mountain!
At this time, Mu Zhenyuan, who was standing three steps away from him, opened his eyes slightly and smiled: "Daoyou, why are you so anxious? Didn't I tell you to let me think about it?"
Having said this, he closed his eyes again.
Li Wuxiang just stood there and didn't move.
In fact, he had no intention of jumping over the wall just now - it was true that he had asked Kong Jingci to get the fragments of the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture. He felt that the man in the dark and Li Guichen had made him into a person who acted recklessly, cruelly and violently, so it would be best to see if he could collect the opening part of the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture and practice it as soon as possible to gain more self-protection strength.
However, when he arrived outside the yard, he heard someone talking in the yard.
If he had to say what the thing he regretted most today was that he did not retreat immediately, but stopped and tried to listen.
When I heard this - just a few words, I immediately felt like I was trapped by something.
That feeling was like a person walking in a long, dark corridor or alley, and always felt that there was something following him from behind, but at that time he did not feel something behind him, but his entire body - he realized that he had encountered the legendary situation of being "locked by the qi".
When he heard Kong Jingci say "Master" and "Master Mou", he realized that there were two Yang Gods from the Thirty-Six Sects in the courtyard - he was discovered as soon as he arrived outside the courtyard.
So he could only show up on the wall openly, thinking that it would be safer and more appropriate to have a face-to-face meeting than to run away immediately. Otherwise, he was not sure whether Mou Zhenyuan or Kong Xuan would shout "Who is spying?" and take action immediately!
And the words just said also made the two people feel that they did not come to Dajie Mountain alone, but had someone to rely on behind them - he was not sure whether he could save Kong Jingci in this way, but he felt that at least there was a possibility for him to escape safely today.
But now he realized he was wrong.
These two Yang Spirits didn't care about themselves at all. The current situation reminded him of a situation in his previous life - a man walked to a poultry stall in the vegetable market. In front of him were a row of iron cages with chickens and ducks in them. In front of the chickens and ducks, the man bargained with the stall owner about which one to slaughter.
The current situation of himself and Kong Jingci seemed to be similar to those chickens and ducks. Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuanchu were talking in Lingshan with Yangshen... perhaps they were talking about whether to kill or how to kill... and they just discovered his spying, but they didn't care at all, because they knew they couldn't run away and could only wait for "punishment"!
Li Wuxiang felt his mind go blank for a moment, and then countless thoughts came to his mind. He felt that the scene before him was extremely absurd - a quarter of an hour ago he was still thinking about what to do in the future, but today he would not die here! ?
Then he grabbed these thoughts and suppressed them fiercely, holding his breath and concentrating his mind, he said in his mind: "Zhao Qi!"
Zhao Qi's response came faster than he expected: "Ah?"
"Mou Zhenyuan from the Juque School and Kong Xuan from the Suhua School, they are here with me." Li Wuxiang started, and then quickly described the appearance of the two men, "...they are now talking in Lingshan with their Yang Shen - before, when we were at the foot of Yulun Mountain, Zhou Ruixin used the Finger to the Moon Mysterious Light to fight me, and I saw you watching the fun next to those ghosts - didn't those ghosts notice you at that time?"
After a while, Zhao Qicai said, "So soon? Didn't we just talk about how you would become the Sect Master a few days ago, and now you are talking to them? My God, your Sword Sect is so prestigious!? If I had known earlier, I would have become a swordsman, and maybe I wouldn't have to die--"
After hearing what he said, Li Wuxiang suddenly felt like laughing, and the urgent murderous intent surrounding him seemed to have faded a little.
So he said calmly: "I don't think they are talking about this. I am more inclined to believe that they are talking about whether or not to kill me, or how to kill me - now their physical bodies are right next to me, and I can't leave. I wanted to go to Lingshan to listen just now, but they found me and kicked me out." Zhao Qi burped and became speechless.
"Don't panic, help me think about it." Li Wuxiang said patiently, "Do you have any way to listen to what they are saying? Weren't you also watching next to Zhiyue Xuanguang in Lingshan that day? It seems that those monsters didn't notice you."
Zhao Qi spoke at this time: "I...ah, yes, I am from Lingshan. Whether it is a Yin spirit or a Yang spirit, they are all considered visitors to Lingshan. There will be a lot of brave or confused people in Lingshan who want to see it. This is common, and they don't care about it...Okay, okay, I'll help you take a look--"
He immediately fell silent after saying this. But a moment later, the voice came out of Li Wuxiang's mind again: "Don't be stubborn, don't panic, if things get bad, beg for mercy, aren't you the best at coaxing people? Delay it for a while, if it doesn't work, I'll ask my master for help - just wait and I'll go and listen!"
Two breaths later, Li Wuxiang heard Zhao Qi speak again - there was a hint of panic in his voice: "You guessed it, listen, I will teach you, they are saying -"
He lowered his voice and said, "... He is quite brave, daring to send out his Yin Spirit to Lingshan to spy on us. I am curious when the Sword Sect produced such a person, a Yuanying, who dared to come to Dajieshan to cause trouble. But thinking about it this way, Junior Sister, who do you think this master he is talking about is?"
He lowered his voice again: "I heard that he is from the Jiuzhu Peak lineage. According to our theory, his master should be the one who introduced him to the sect. However, the ancestor should be Mei Qiulu. But Mei Qiulu is a Nascent Soul, and he said that his master practiced the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. Senior Brother Mou, what he said is-"
"Jiang Jie?" Zhao Qi imitated Mou Zhenyuan's tone, "Why, do you think Jiang Jie is not dead?"
"Brother, do you think Jiang Jie is dead?"
"As long as Jiang Jie is not dead, Xuanjiao will not leave the diocese to besiege You Jiuyuan——"
"But none of the Hedao masters have come out. Moreover, with Jiang Jie's cultivation level, if he wants to fake his death, who in the world can tell?"
"Junior sister, are you saying that Jiang Jie faked his death, gave up the Sword Sect's Nether Nine Abyss foundation, and left the East Emperor Seal empty, causing many of his disciples to sacrifice their lives, just for the sake of, as you said before, making us think that when the East Emperor Seal is empty, we can unite as one and fight against the Xuan Sect on their behalf?"
"I was just telling you what might happen. Besides... this Li Wuxiang is really arrogant, so arrogant that it is unreasonable. His behavior is either extremely stupid - but no matter how stupid a person is, he would not be so stupid as to come to the Great Tribulation Mountain to commit suicide. Or, it is just his nature and he has someone to rely on. Brother, have you ever considered that what he said just now is true? Is there really anything strange about the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra?"
Zhao Qi learned this and suddenly whispered, "You scared me. I thought you were really going to die. I was wondering, how could you get yourself into this state with your mouth that says one thing to one person and another to another? What did you say to them just now? Did you scare the two Yang Gods? So it's not unfair to me at all. You fooled the Yang Gods into this state—"
His voice suddenly stopped, and the next moment he shouted: "Not good, find a way to escape! I'm going to kill you!"
Li Wuxiang's whole body suddenly went numb, but he stood still and said in a deep voice, "What did they say?"
"Mou Zhenyuan said——"
"Even if Jiang Jie is still alive, even if what he said is true, humph, he is hiding now. I guess either something went wrong with his practice, or he has some unavoidable reason not to show up. Jiang Jie faked his death and almost ruined the Sword Sect. How come, now that I really dealt with Li Wuxiang, will he stand up for Li Wuxiang?"
"Hehe, if he's really not dead, I'd like to use this to force him out! Junior sister, if today is still the same as before, with the Thirty-Six Sects in disarray, Jiang Jie would have no scruples about attacking me. But now that all the sects have gathered at Dajie Mountain, if he attacks me, he would be an enemy of the Thirty-Six Sects."
"The reason why the Sword Sect has been able to survive these years is because of the word 'sword' and the word 'knight'. If I, Mou Zhenyuan, were to die at the hands of his swordsmanship today, the word 'knight' in his Sword Sect would also be gone. Isn't this a good deal?"
"Hey, wait..." Zhao Qi paused, pinching his throat, "What about the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture? Senior Brother, if what Li Wuxiang said is true, Jiang Jie practiced the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture - no matter what method he used, now we can also use the East Emperor Seal, sooner or later we will be able to practice the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture... If there is really something strange about this thing, what should we do then?"
Zhao Qi did not speak again, and Li Wuxiang also held his breath and waited. After a while, Zhao Qi spoke again in a low voice: "Junior sister, are you talking about the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture, or are you pleading for your disciple? Think about it carefully, I originally wanted to use the life of my niece Jing Ci to warn everyone in the Great Tribulation Mountain - don't be a dog of the Sword Sect or the Xuan Sect!"
"If you want to spare Li Wuxiang's life, your disciple will die today. This is not a death that will lead to his escape from Lingshan, but a death that will lead to the destruction of both his body and soul!"
"But if I take Li Wuxiang's life, since I call her my cousin, I can keep her here. What do you want to do about this?"
Zhao Qi said this and immediately shouted again: "Li Wuxiang! You hurry up and think of a way. I'll go find my master. I know. You can find a way to piss him off and let him slowly torture you to death! Or let him kill you in front of everyone on the Great Tribulation Mountain! The longer you can delay, the better. I'll go find my master. Just wait!"
As soon as Zhao Qi's voice disappeared, Mou Zhenyuan opened his eyes.
He looked directly at Li Wuxiang and smiled: "I just thought about it, Daoist friend, I feel like I'm still itching to show off my skills. Alas, I'm the same as you, I have a stubborn temper. If I want to do something, I have to do it."
He raised his hand and grabbed in the air, and a huge sword appeared in his palm.
Mou Zhenyuan lowered his eyes to look at the sword, and flicked the blade with his other hand, making a clanging sound: "Do you still recognize this large square stele? It is the one that Mou Tieshan held in You Jiuyuan."
He threw the sword aside and thrust it into the ground with a thud. "I don't use this sword, nor do I use the Yangshen method, nor do I use the Juque Sect's method. Since you are using the True Immortal Body Dao Pian, I will also use the one you are familiar with - the Small Tribulation Sword Sutra. I heard that your ancestor Mei Qiulu practiced this method. Today is a good day for you to see if my unconventional method has been passed down!"
