When the sun rose, Yan Li arrived at the Demon Hunters Hall.
"Yan Li is here?" Lu Zhantang was slightly surprised. He hadn't seen the messenger return, so he sent people to investigate. As expected, they were all dead.
He personally came to the door and warmly welcomed Yan Li into the central room. "Brother Yan, did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Where's my servant girl?" Yan Li went straight to the point.
Could it be that Gu Caiwei had kept his word?
Lu Zhantang thought about it and smiled. "Brother Yan is a smart man. Naturally, I will return her to you after the deed is done."
"How can I trust you?" Yan Li said coldly.
"Brother Yan, please take a seat." Lu Zhantang was reassured. He invited Yan Li to take a seat and ordered someone to serve tea. After Yan Li drank the tea, he smiled and said, "Brother Yan, with your talent, a mere Court Of Sword is a waste of your talent."
"A mere Court Of Sword?" Yan Li laughed coldly.
"Ahem...." Lu Zhantang hurriedly coughed to cover it up. "What I mean is, after the deed is done, Brother Yan will have a better place to go."
"For example, the Dao Court?" Yan Li said mildly.
"Of course." Lu Zhantang said seriously, "Brother Yan, you must know that although the Court Of Sword is known as the foremost sword dao in the world, it doesn't have a true ultimate art. The Dao Court is different. The Mysterious Star Book of Dao is the second-ranked ultimate art. Not only does it lead directly to the Primordial Spirit Dao, it can also uncover the innate mystiques of the human body. What other immortality art in the Jambu Realm can compare to it? "
"Mysterious Star Book of Dao!" Yan Li seemed to have thought of something. His eyes shone coldly, but he could only hide it by squinting.
Lu Zhantang didn't notice. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yan still has a choice. We...." He suddenly realized something and stopped talking.
"Everyone knows that the Demon Hunt Hall listens to the Dao Court." Yan Li sneered. "What's there to hide?"
"Not everyone knows." Lu Zhantang said calmly, "Only a small number of people know. I'm sure it was Lady Caiwei who told you about us. "
Yan Li didn't answer. Instead, he said, "I will only make a decision after I see the person behind you."
"If there's anything, you can tell me directly, Brother Yan." Lu Zhantang smiled and said, "I'll also be the one to convey all the orders."
"You are not qualified," Yan Li said lightly.
"I'm not qualified?" Lu Zhantang's eyes turned cold, "Brother Yan, who do you think is qualified?"
"No matter what, they have to be at the level of your Demon Hunt Hall's hall master," said Yan Li.
"You want to see our Hall Master?" Lu Zhantang asked.
"Of course!" Yan Li said, "Since we're going to 'cooperate', I have to ensure my own interests."
Just as Lu Zhantang was deep in thought with a frown, two people walked out from the back of the central room. One was Monk Jiu Rou, and the other was the female hall master who was completely covered in black.
"How can you guarantee it?" the female hall master asked coldly.
"Hall Master!" Lu Zhantang hurriedly stood up. He gave the seat of honor to the female hall master and stood to the side.
Yan Li carefully sized up the female hall master. However, other than a pair of cold eyes, he couldn't see anything else. He said slowly, "If the Demon Hunt Hall's scheme is exposed to the Court Of Sword, how do you plan to deal with it?"
The female hall master glanced at Lu Zhantang.
Lu Zhantang understood and said, "When the operation begins, we will withdraw from the Demon Hunt Hall."
"Will the Court Of Sword buy it?" Yan Li asked with a frown.
"We have to buy it even if we don't want to," Lu Zhantang said proudly.
"What if I'm exposed as well?" Yan Li asked.
"We will spare no effort to escort Brother Yan to Dragon Head Mountain," Lu Zhantang said.
"Dragon Head Mountain?" Yan Li asked.
"The mountain gate of the Dao Court," Lu Zhantang said.
"There's no choice," Yan Li said.
Lu Zhantang smiled and said, "Brother Yan, in this world, besides the Dao Court, there's no other power that can allow you to establish a clean foothold in the Jambu Realm. Moreover, the number of disciples who join the Dao Court is at least 50% more than those who join the Court Of Sword. I don't need to elaborate on how you should choose, right? "
"When do we act?" Yan Li asked.
Lu Zhantang said, "Wait for orders at the Red Moon Restaurant in White Water City. We've already made arrangements. There will be people there to serve you. On the day of the operation, I will personally convey your orders."
"Red Moon Restaurant?" Yan Li was startled.
"Remember," Lu Zhantang's expression turned cold, "before I show up, don't play any unnecessary tricks, and don't act on your own. If you still want that pitiful girl's life, you'd better listen to me."
"You'd better ensure her safety!" Yan Li said coldly, stood up, and left.
…
The sky was just beginning to brighten. Because Jianghu Town and the Human Realm Wei King's Territory were separated by a sea region, the cold was the same. There was still frost in the middle of the first month, so no one would go out at this time. Without customers, the shops would naturally not open.
But on such a cold and cheerless morning when the shops had yet to open for business, there was a little girl around ten years old wandering on the street. As she walked, she called out "Master, Master" in a sobbing voice, as if she was looking for someone.
But she didn't know that she was walking in the direction of leaving the town.
After walking through a street full of shops, the bluestone road suddenly turned into yellow soil, and there were no shops around. From a distance, there was only a white fog, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
The little girl stood at the town gate for a moment. Finally, she knew that if she left Jianghu Town, it would be even more impossible to find someone. Just as she was about to turn around, a person walked out of the white fog. She couldn't help but look over, "Is it master?" She trotted over, wanting to confirm if it was the person she was looking for.
Unexpectedly, the man staggered forward, his whole body was covered in blood, and he looked like a living dead.
The little girl was scared out of her wits, and hurriedly wanted to run.
The living dead seemed to be bought by the little girl's pitiful appearance, and reluctantly squeezed out a kind smile, "Little girl, are you looking for someone? Don't worry, I am Jianghu Town's Bad Handsome Mansion, specializing in helping people in trouble. "
"Bad Handsome Uncle, have you seen my master?" The little girl hesitated for a moment, and finally, the desire to find someone prevailed. She stopped and asked with expectation.
The man smiled and said, "What is your master's name?"
"My master is called Yan Li." The little girl smiled sweetly.
