Chapter 244 Power

Chapter 244 Power
Mei Qiulu removed her hand from the pulse point of a Sword Sect disciple and said to him, "It's okay. Your injury won't cause any serious illness. Don't think too much about it. Just adjust your breathing for a few days and you'll be fine."

Then he stood up, walked up the mound and looked in the direction of Dajie Mountain. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's rest for the night. You guys take a good rest, I'll go explore first."

She slowly let out a breath and sat cross-legged on the ground. The man beside her couldn't help but say, "Master..."

"what happened?"

"Master, you have to be careful."

Mei Qiulu didn't take her eyes off his face, but she didn't say anything. The man spread his hands and said, "I still think it's too risky. The death of Master Jiang was unclear, and Master Cui also died unclearly."

“Oh, Xiao Suo, do you still think that Li Wuxiang killed them?”

Xiao Suo quickly looked at the forest behind him, squatted down close to Mei Qiulu, and lowered his voice: "Senior sister, you know that's not what I meant. None of the dozen of us who came here would think so - when you said you wanted to come to Dajie Mountain in the west, did the dozen of us brothers hesitate? I'm not talking about Li Wuxiang, I'm talking about that foreign evil."

"Let's not talk about Sect Leader Jiang. When Sect Leader Cui was still around, he also said that it must be an external evil. But what about Sect Leader Cui?" Xiao Suo frowned. "He went to You Jiu Yuan, and then we only know that he was gone. His heavenly soul could not be found in Lingshan, just like Sect Leader Jiang. I'm not talking about Li Wuxiang. I mean, if Li Wuxiang is still unaware of the situation... what if the external evil is still using him to deal with our Sword Sect? Just to lure us to Dajie Mountain?"

Mei Qiulu nodded: "You are right."

But he sighed again: "Xiao Suo, I want to bring you along because you are like Master Cui, you think a lot, while I think less, so you often help me make up for some of my thoughts."

Xiao Suo was about to speak, but Mei Qiulu said, "But don't think about it anymore. You've said this to me several times along the way. I don't want to insist on my own way this time, but you see, I'm asking you——"

"If a Yang Shen like Master Jiang was really killed by an external evil, then how does my Yuan Ying compare to Master Jiang?"

Xiao Suo hesitated for a while: "Senior Sister, you are the strongest Nascent Soul in the world."

"But I'm still no match for Master Jiang." Mei Qiulu turned to look at the Great Tribulation Mountain. "So the matter is very simple. If there really is some external evil helping the Xuan Cult to deal with our Sword Cult, I, and you, will all be wiped out sooner or later. The way to find out the truth is that I must cultivate into a Yang God. The Great Tribulation Alliance wants to invite Taiyi, so I must cultivate into a Yang God here. This is the only way and the only ray of hope."

She sighed, "Li Wuxiang has done this by himself, so I have nothing to fear, and neither should you. Now that we have come to the Great Tribulation Mountain, you should be more courageous. People in the world say that we are the Sword Sect, but think about who I am now? I am not the leader of the Sword Sect, I am the leader of the Donghuang Taiyi Sect."

She stared at the Great Tribulation Mountain for a while, and seeing the sunset glow behind the mountain gradually dimming, she said, "This Great Tribulation Mountain is the dojo of our Taiyi Sect. I'm going there, and you protect me."

……

Speaking of revenge and killing, these were what Mou Zhenyuan liked to do most. But tonight, his mood was different—the Ruyi Belt that Kong Xuan gave him was wrapped around his waist. As soon as he put it on, he immediately felt that he was locked up.

Because it was just as Kong Xuan said, the effect was miraculous - when he spoke to the great sword master Mou Donglie, there was no abnormality on the other party's face, and he was as respectful as before.

When he asked Mou Donglie to follow him to kill Li Wuxiang tonight, Mou Donglie was stunned at first, and then said, "I will obey the order of the sect leader."

When he said that it was him, Mou Donglie, who would take action and that he would be the one to clear the way for him, Mou Donglie was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said "obey the order of the sect leader" again.

Then Mou Zhenyuan knew that this Ruyi Belt was really hard to tell. If he realized that he was no longer a Yang God, according to Mou Donglie's temperament, he would definitely ask his own master before deciding on this matter.

It is not appropriate to make a big fuss about killing the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul and testing whether Jiang Jie, who is in Lingshan, can come to this world.

Therefore, only three people set out - Mou Zhenyuan, Mou Donglie, and Kong Xuan. When walking towards Li Wuxiang's direction, Mou Donglie seemed to be relieved, and even his mood seemed to have improved. He smiled and said, "Master, when you told me this, I still had some doubts in my heart. Now that you two are here, haha, I understand what you mean."

Mou Zhenyuan didn't want to talk, but Kong Xuan walked and laughed: "Oh? Great Sword Master, what do you understand?"

"Hehe, both of you are Yang Gods. If you take his life, it will be an internal fight among the Thirty-Six Sects. But it will be different if I go. Jinchuan is my disciple, and I am seeking justice for my disciple. According to Li Wuxiang's temperament, he may take action if I provoke him - at that time, he will attack me, the Great Sword Master of the Juque Sect, and you will stand up for me, isn't it the truth?"

Kong Xuan laughed again: "Great Sword Master, do you think it is necessary to talk about these principles at this time?"

"what?"

Kong Xuan glanced at the silent Mou Zhenyuan and said, "The principles of our Thirty-Six Sects in the past were to protect the weaker sects. But they were not set entirely for our Thirty-Six Sects, but for those sects and families of the Jianghu cultivators, so that they would not dare to attack the strong with their weakness."

"So, in the end, the strong make the rules, and the weak abide by them. But there are times when the strong and the weak can change sides. For example, in the Sword Sect, when the leader with the Yang God cultivation was still there, even the Xuan Sect didn't want to mess with them. Now that the leader of the Yang God is gone, the Xuan Sect immediately left the diocese."

"It's just that Li Wuxiang's brain is a little slow. He still thinks he can do whatever he wants on this Great Tribulation Mountain with the name of the Sword Sect. So we called you here tonight not to ask you to find an excuse - the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul is known as the strongest in the world. When Li Wuxiang killed Mou Jinchuan, no one was present, and we don't know the depth of his methods. We called you because we want to see what realm Li Wuxiang's Nascent Soul has reached and what kind of strength he has. So don't worry, just give it a try. If it doesn't work, there is still your Sect Master."

Mou Donglie thought about it and smiled again: "Yes, that's the truth."

Mou Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and held his breath, but he could only force himself to keep a normal expression. What was Kong Xuan talking about, Jiang Jie of the Sword Sect? He was obviously talking about himself!

"So the Great Sword Master will be at the door in a while—" Kong Xuan looked in the direction of the small courtyard not far away, "You don't have to find any excuses, just do it directly."

"Ah?" Mou Donglie was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, "Okay! This is exactly the style of my Juque Sect!"

After he said this, he saw that the courtyard was not far away, and he could not hold back any longer, so he immediately took out the giant sword on his back and ran over. Kong Xuan looked at his back and smiled at Mou Zhenyuan: "Brother, you guys in the Juque Sect are really the same impatient person."

Only then did Mou Zhenyuan's face darken: "I'm afraid this impatient guy will be killed by your words."

"Ah, what's wrong, Senior Brother? Are you unhappy? I don't think he will die - Mou Donglie is already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If you say that the Nascent Soul of the Sword Sect is strong, that's a foregone conclusion. But I, Jinchuan, have only recently reached the Nascent Soul stage, so there's no doubt that I am no match for Li Wuxiang. But the same may not be true for your Great Sword Master. Maybe we don't need to take action, and we can really take down Li Wuxiang. By then -"

As she said this, she heard a loud bang. It was Mou Donglie, who was not far away, who had arrived in front of Li Wuxiang's house. He kicked the door open, stepped into the yard, and shouted, "Li Wuxiang, come out!"

The two of them immediately stopped and looked carefully.

But after three breaths, Mou Donglie was just standing there, holding the sword, without any other movement.

After a moment, he took another step back, but just stood there, neither moving nor walking back, as if he was talking to someone.

Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he let out a breath, smiled, and turned to look at Mou Zhenyuan: "Guess what he is doing?"

Mou Zhenyuan said nothing.

Kong Xuan laughed again, "I guess it was Li Wuxiang who was talking to him - I just found out this afternoon that he is also very good at talking. Jing Ci went to ask several sect leaders to persuade me to stop only one hour after he returned to his residence with him. Although my disciple is arrogant, he is also very smart. He was actually persuaded by his few words, as if the world would be in chaos if he was touched tonight - but my disciple actually listened to him."

"Li Wuxiang should be talking to your great sword master again. Senior brother, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Mou Zhenyuan snorted coldly: "You just said that the strong and the weak can change their positions. Do good things and bad things still have anything to do with me?"

Kong Xuan was in a very good mood at this time, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Brother, why do you sound so aggrieved? This is naturally a good thing, and it is also a good thing for you - Li Wuxiang didn't take action, which means that we guessed it right before. His master Jiang Jie can't come to this world. He is a smart man, and naturally knows that the two of us will support Mou Donglie, so he feels that he can't give us the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

She turned to look at the courtyard again, her expression turning cold. "It's just that people always think they are smart. When he was reckless on the Great Tribulation Mountain before, he felt that he had the support of the Sword Sect and no one could defeat him. Now that he finds the situation is not good, he wants to rely on reason to save his life. How can there be such a good thing in the world that he can have it both ways? Let's go, there's no need for Mou Donglie to take action, I will control him, and then leave it to you to deal with - this will make you feel better, right?"

The two of them immediately flew to the gate of Li Wuxiang's courtyard.

But when I got closer, I didn't hear any voices, but I saw a golden light.

Now I know why Mou Donglie took a step back and stood still again.

Because of that golden light, that flying sword with flowing light was hanging between Mou Donglie's eyebrows, and the tip of the sword almost touched his skin.

Mou Donglie stood there with his eyes wide open. Kong Xuan and Mou Zhenyuan stood two steps away from him. They could hear the clacking sound of his hands gripping the hilt of his sword. Hearing the footsteps of the two approaching, Mou Donglie slowly turned his head to look at them. It seemed as if his head was also tightly imprisoned by some force and rusted. Just this one movement required all his strength!
Then the two of them saw clearly that a tiny blister had been formed on his forehead due to the sword light that was so close to him, and when he turned his head, the small sword seemed to be nailed to his forehead in mid-air, and slowly turned with him.

The two immediately knew why he couldn't move...

Because of the sword energy on that small sword!

The sword energy seemed to chill people to the bone, freezing them into ice and making them stand there in a daze. It also seemed to contain extremely hot blood, bringing out all the fear and panic in people's hearts.

Even though the two of them were two steps away from him, they could still feel this intimidating power!

Mou Zhenyuan was immediately stunned - he was already a Nascent Soul, and had just been injured. The Qi in his body was already not flowing smoothly, and at this moment, he was affected by the sword force. He felt himself frozen from head to toe, and his body was numb.

Kong Xuan was not that bad, but she knew what kind of power was hidden in this small flying sword. She took a breath of cold air - had Li Wuxiang's Nascent Soul cultivation really reached this level! ?
Several thoughts raced through her mind - could she defeat him?
There shouldn't be any problem. This kind of power is terrifying, but it doesn't make her afraid. Combined with the magic weapon on her body, the person who wielded this sword will not be her opponent.

But you might be seriously injured!
It's not like he fell to the Nascent Soul stage like Mou Zhenyuan, but in this situation, although he temporarily restrained Mou Zhenyuan, it was only a very subtle balance. To lose a lot of strength just to kill Li Wuxiang, it's a bit...

Her face darkened and an idea came to her mind - let Mou Donglie and Mou Zhenyuan take action first!

So she didn't care about respecting Mou Zhenyuan, the leader of Juque Sect, and raised her hand to hold his arm, shouting in a low voice: "You, the great sword master, are scared to death, what about you? He is just like this - let's attack together!"

After saying this, he pulled Mou Zhenyuan and pushed him to Mou Donglie's side, then he also jumped over and saw the scene in the courtyard -

But what I saw were two people, a man and a woman.

The man was Li Wuxiang, standing in the yard with a calm expression, even a slight smile on his face, as if he was laughing at Mou Donglie's joke.

The extra woman was neither Kong Jingci nor Zhao Yu, but was in the main hall of the main house. She did not look like she was ready to fight the enemy, but sat sideways on a chair, pinching a piece of dessert in her hand and eating it seriously, as if she thought it was extremely delicious.

Kong Xuan was stunned and frowned - Li Wuxiang found help?
She turned to look at Mou Zhenyuan, but saw that his face, which had been gloomy but still calm, was now twitching. Then he opened his mouth and made a hoarse sound after a long while -

“Mei…you are…Mei Qiulu…Mei Qiulu!?”
