A Genius in a Second Remembers Love? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Hu Bugui raised his wine cup and said, "I'm seventy percent clear, but there are still thirty percent doubts."
"Oh?" Mu Zixuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Does Mister have any more questions?"
Hu Bugui took a sip of the wine in his cup and said, "The matter of the 'disaster' has always been hidden well. Where did you find out about it?"
Mu Zixuan's eyes lit up and said, "Mister is indeed extraordinary. You've hit the nail on the head. To be honest, I'm from the Imperial Starry Sky."
Hu Bugui frowned and said doubtfully, "The Imperial Starry Sky's stargazing ability is unparalleled in the world. It's reasonable that you can see through the matter of the disaster. However, there have been many changes in the past hundred years. I thought that your sect's line of incense has been cut off. I didn't expect that there are still people left."
Mu Zixuan cupped her fists and said with a smile, "I'm ashamed. I'm the leader of the Imperial Starry Sky Sect, but I'm not a good leader. As a result, there are few people in the sect and my reputation is not well known. I've let Mister Hu see a joke."
Hearing that Mu Zixuan was only in her early twenties and was already the leader of a sect, Hu Bugui was surprised. He said mockingly, "This' disaster 'is related to the fate of the world. Your shabby sect really dares to touch it?"
Mu Zixuan shook her head and said, "Not really. I'm happy to see the disaster fall into the hands of the Northern Dragon Sky. After Mister passes, I'll naturally help you fulfill your last wish. Mister, do you believe that within seven days, I don't need to set up the Nine Yin Soul Locking Formation and I can make Yang Xuan die justifiably? "
Hu Bugui said with a laugh, "How can I not believe it? The evil in people's hearts is far worse than that of demons. There are as many sinister ways to harm people as you want. I can also guess what you're talking about. It's just that I'm trapped in my demon body and can't do anything about it."
Mu Zixuan said, "So that's how it is. I was too arrogant. Mister, please don't blame me. However, back to the main topic. My plan this time was to remove the thorn that is you, not to deal with the disaster."
Hu Bugui said, "So that's how it is. I don't know what I've done to deserve such a plan from you.
"Mister is too modest. Everyone knows that the Blue-eyed Evil Fox, Hu Bugui, is one of the Three Venerables under Northern Dragon Sky. Not only is his cultivation unfathomable, but he is also extremely intelligent. Killing you is far better than cutting off one of Northern Dragon Sky's arms.
Hu Bugui waved his hand, saying, "I've lost, and it's a huge loss. You don't have to save me any face. Given your series of schemes, it's not wrong for me to lose."
Mu Zixuan scooped another spoonful of wine for Hu Bugui and said, "If Mister is interested, why don't you tell me how I set up this chain of traps?"
Hu Bugui chuckled, "You're testing me. If that's the case, I won't be polite. Your first step is to go deep into the tiger's den and steal Young Master Peacock's Peacock Plume. Young Master Peacock is very proud. If his Peacock Plume is stolen, he will feel ashamed and will not announce it. He will only try to find the Peacock Plume in secret. However, this Jinping Manor is a dangerous place. You can come and go as you please.
You're really capable! "Mu Zixuan smiled bitterly," I was just lucky. I took advantage of Young Master Peacock's absence to sneak in. Even so, I almost died in the hands of Young Master Peacock's maids, Feng Yasong. "
Hu Bugui did not care whether what he said was true or false. He continued, "The second step is to test the waters. You held the Peacock Plume and used the name of Young Master Peacock's messenger to instigate the demons of Shu to look for the scourge."
Hu Bugui suddenly paused and laughed dryly. He corrected himself, "No, it should be said to look for Ling Nu. Hehe, Ling Nu, Ling Nu, scourge. Although the names are different, they are all young girls. You fabricated the name of Ling Nu to prevent the news of the scourge from leaking and also to achieve your goal."
Mu Zixuan nodded and said, "That's right. Our small sect is not as powerful as Northern Dragon Heaven. Although we knew the scourge was in Shu, we did not know her exact location. We could only borrow the strength of the demons of Shu. A few ignorant little demons came to the Yang Mansion and targeted the Yang family's daughter. When Mister casually sent these little demons away, I knew that the Yang family's daughter was the scourge that you and I were looking for."
Hu Bugui continued, "Then the third step is to lead the scourge to the east. You lured Qing Ku to break my Nine Yin Soul-Locking Formation. Then you killed Hu Yu. Then I shifted my attention to Qing Ku." When talking about Hu Yu's death, Hu Bugui was still calm and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
Mu Zixuan sighed and said, "It's also because Mister is cautious in his actions. You closely guarded the Yang family's territory and did not care about the chaos in the outside world. Seeing that the time was coming, I had no choice but to take a risk and break your Nine Yin Soul-Locking Formation. When the formation was broken, you naturally sent Hu Yu, who is good at hiding, to investigate the situation, and I took the opportunity to kill Hu Yu. "At this point, Mu Zixuan paused and deliberately glanced at Hu Bugui's reaction.
Seeing that Hu Bugui was still as calm as an ancient well, without any reaction, Mu Zixuan continued, "There are two reasons for killing Hu Yu. One is to divert your attention to Qing Ku, and the second is to kill Hu Yu so that you will definitely shift the 'demon words' onto Hu Yan. This is also in preparation for my impersonation today. Otherwise, if I pretend to be the talkative Hu Yan, I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I will reveal a flaw."
Hu Bugui drank another mouthful of wine, but found that the rim of the cup had been dyed red with blood. Then he changed the cup and said, "Next is the fourth step. After Hu Yu's death, Qing Ku's whereabouts were lost. I had no way to investigate, so I changed to another way. I started from the person who held the Peacock Plume. So I disguised myself as Mo Yunzheng and used the excuse of killing demons to force out the appearance and characteristics of the 'Young Master Peacock Plume' of the Demon Tribe of Shu Land. You did not leak anything. You destroyed six demon caves in succession, but still did not get any useful information. Unexpectedly, you saved Ying Feiyang's life. Now that I think about it, it was not an accident. "While saying this, he stared at Mu Zixuan.
Mu Zixuan shook her head and said, "It was almost an accident. I led Bi Mu and his wife to kidnap Ying Feiyang's childhood friend. Ying Feiyang would definitely go to rescue him. Bi Mu and his wife have a reputation for chivalry. Although they were injured, with their cultivation, they should have been able to capture Ying Feiyang without killing him. That was to give you a chance to save him."
Then she smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Ying Feiyang's cultivation and skill were beyond my expectation. He could actually fight with Bi Mu to the death. If you had come a little later, I'm afraid you would only be able to collect their corpses."
"But these accidents were also beneficial to me. You saw that the fight did not seem to be fake, so you definitely wouldn't have thought that there was someone behind this."
Hu Bugui nodded and said, "That's right. After saving Ying Feiyang, I could legitimately get close to Qing Ku and find out the truth of his situation. I saw that it was a golden opportunity, so I took advantage of it. But the next step, I need you to answer for me."
"It's easy to say. You'll know when you see it." As she said this, Mu Zixuan turned around and when she turned back, she had already changed her face. Long eyebrows, narrow eyes, and a face full of malice. It was Lord Chi Yang who besieged Qing Xin Temple.
Then she said, "The first step was to lure Ying Feiyang to save Mu Xiaomei, and then wait for you to save Ying Feiyang. There were too many variables, and I could only guide but not control. So, I made a double preparation. Lord Chi Yang has long been replaced by me, and became my secret identity. If you had attacked Lord Chi Yang's cave before saving Ying Feiyang, I could still have leaked some fake news to you and led your attention to Qing Ku. But I was lucky enough to not use the second preparation. So, when you attacked, I took the initiative to attack. That was my fifth step. "
Hu Bugui frowned. "I see, you're the one who impersonated Chi Yan Jun, but how did you confirm that I'm the one who impersonated Mo Yunzong? Although I originally planned to use myself as bait to fish out the mastermind, but the fact that the bait was swallowed before the fish took the bait made me very unhappy."
"Mo Yunzheng has always been erratic. How could he not be suspicious when he suddenly appeared? Moreover, Mo Yunzong has made a name for himself for many years, so how could he be like a fledgling junior, being carelessly poisoned? "Mu Zixuan answered.
Hu Bugui shook his head and said, "The reason is not sufficient, and it is too arbitrary. Figuring out my identity is the key to your plan. If you make a mistake, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, your identity will also be exposed. Suspicion alone is not enough for you to take the risk."
Mu Zixuan turned her head and wiped her face, changing back to her original appearance. She smiled and said, "Although I impersonated Lord Chi Yang, I do not have his natural snake venom. So, what I threw into the water was just an ordinary poison. It probably only works on young people like Ying Feiyang and Ling Xiao. Mo Yunzheng was poisoned in an extremely careless situation. With his cultivation, it would only take a moment for him to expel the poison. How could he always look like he was poisoned?"
Hu Bugui sighed and said, "I see. I noticed that the porridge was poisoned, so I did not drink it. I only pretended to be poisoned because I wanted to put myself in danger and force Daoist Qing Ku to help me. I wanted to measure his cultivation. I did not expect it to become my biggest flaw. At this point, my defeat is already decided."
"Ha, his cultivation is indeed not so easy to measure." Mu Zixuan sneered and continued, "Then, I used some tricks to fake my defeat to Daoist Qing Ku and forced the name of He Guqiong to him to increase your suspicion of him."
Hu Bugui's eyes flashed, and he said with a hint of confusion, "Forced it to him? Could it be that Daoist Qing Ku is not He Guqiong? Then who is he? How could he withstand Master Peacock's palm? "
Mu Zixuan shook her head and said, "He Guqiong is not the only one in the world who can withstand Master Peacock's palm. Didn't Mister also withstand it? As for the true identity of Daoist Qing Ku, I have my own difficulties and cannot tell you. Please forgive me, Mister. Moreover, if I say the name of He Guqiong, Mister must be confident that you can deal with him, so you set up a trap to make him fight with Master Peacock. If I say the real name of Daoist Qing Ku … With all due respect, I'm afraid that Senior would rather hide in this room and find another way than provoke him.
Hu Bugui understood and said, "That's enough. Although you didn't say his name, it's no different from saying it. There are only a few people in the world that I dare not provoke, so it's not hard to guess."
"Then I know what happened next, Lord Chi Yan — that is, you. He came suddenly and left coincidentally, so his words could not be completely trusted, so I pretended to have a relapse and asked Ying Feiyang to deliver the letter and medicine for me. In fact, I sent him to Hu Yan. Hu Yan, like me, has the Evil Eye and can detect other people's secrets. On the one hand, I can confirm what Lord Chi Yan said from his mouth, and on the other hand, I asked him to leave a secret move on Ying Feiyang's body, maybe it will be useful when facing Daoist Qing Ku. "
Mu Zixuan continued, "But what was waiting for you was my sixth step. I captured Hu Yan and replaced him. You received my forged letter and believed that Daoist Qing Ku was He Guqiong, so you encouraged Ying Feiyang to go to Phoenix Perching Valley to save him. If Daoist Qing Ku still had the identity of 'Master Peacock', then let his disciple ruin his plan. Then let his disciple spoil his plans. If it wasn't for Qing Ku causing such a ruckus, regardless of whether it was Young Master Peacock or the mastermind, you would have been able to benefit from the fight between the three parties. Unexpectedly, in the end, the person who has to fight Young Master Peacock to the death is you. "
Hu Bugui said, "So the Peacock Plume was hidden in the medicine box that Ying Feiyang brought back? No wonder Master Peacock Plume would appear and ruin my plans, and chase after me without letting go. "
Mu Zixuan drank the wine in her cup and said, "That's right. Senior pretended to be seriously ill and asked for medicine, so I placed the Peacock Plume in the medicine box. If he was not far away, Master Peacock could sense the aura on the Peacock Plume that came from the same source as him. So the black pot of stealing his Peacock Plume and falsely passing on his edict fell on senior. "
Hu Bugui smiled and said, "Poor me, I risked my old life to take a palm from Master Peacock, and then escaped from Ying Feiyang's sword. I escaped to this place, but what was waiting for me was the seventh step of killing. In the end, I still died in your hands. "
Mu Zixuan, on the other hand, had a crafty look on her face and corrected him, "He did not die in my hands. Mister clearly died under the corrosion of the Peacock's Netherworld Seal. What does it have to do with me? If Bei Longtian wants to avenge Mister, he cannot find the wrong target."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bugui laughed and praised, "Good. What a good scheme within a scheme. What a good killing trap of seven steps. I, Hu Bugui, have always prided myself on scheming, but I could not escape from your expectations. Today's situation, I can only — bow down to you."
"Mister, do not belittle yourself. In this round, Senior gave me three pieces, which was why I was lucky to win." Mu Zixuan stood up and bowed deeply. She retracted her arrogance and said with a humble face, "This time, I was unprepared. I know Mister's situation like the back of my hand, but Mister does not know anything about me. It can be said that I have won."
"The land of Shu is beyond the reach of Bei Longtian. Mister went in alone and could be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides. But I have been operating here for many years, like a fish in water, so it can be said that I have the geographical advantage."
"Finally, the heavenly fate is with me. Although there were accidents in my plan, every accident was beneficial to me. It can be said that I have taken advantage of the heavenly timing."
Mu Zixuan bowed again and said, "This plan can be said to be made by the heavens. It is the heavens that want to take you, Hu Bugui. Therefore, there is no turning back.
Please, Mister, set off. "
With the word "set off," Hu Bugui's doubts were all resolved. His wish was fulfilled and he could no longer hold on. In an instant, his skin turned from red to pale, and then from pale to dead gray. His entire body seemed to be overflowing and quickly shriveled up.
On his deathbed, Hu Bugui's eyes gradually blurred. The figure of Mu Zixuan in front of him actually overlapped with another person's figure. "Similar, really similar. You are too similar to him. The same deep scheming, the same calm demeanor."
Hu Bugui, whose life was hanging by a thread, did not have the strength to speak. However, in his heart, there was a hidden sense of relief that he could not express. "Mu Zixuan, no matter how much you calculated, your plan was still one step behind. Do you think that my death will cause my master to lose his brain? Actually, if you kill me, this old fox, there will naturally be a new fox to replace me. A fox that is even more intelligent and resourceful than me.
The White-browed Fox. "
Hu Bugui picked up the wine cup and brought it to his lips. However, his hand dropped and the cup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
A great demon, Hu Bugui, had died.
