"How could a refugee have the cultivation of the Celestial Being Realm?"
"How could an expert in the Celestial Being Realm shamelessly launch a sneak attack?"
"That's ridiculous."
Almost in an instant, Li Mu and the others realized that what was happening in front of them was definitely not as simple as it appeared to be. It should be a big whirlpool.
By this time, the refugees had already screamed and fled in all directions.
It could be seen that other than the old refugee with scabies all over his body who had launched a sneak attack, the others were all real refugees and had never seen such a scene before. They screamed and fled, and when they were shaken by the repercussions of the power of the Celestial Being Realm, a mother who was carrying a child and several elderly people were directly shaken into a mist of blood and scattered. The others were even more dead or injured.
Many of the surrounding buildings had also collapsed.
Obviously, the assassin was afraid that he could not hit the target with one strike, so he did not hold back at all, nor did he care about the civilians around him.
The originally quiet and harmonious Green Hornet Gorge was immediately broken.
Screams rang out.
The weary guests got up and fled one after another.
The people in the surrounding stalls, taverns, and shops were also in a mess.
"Mount Qingcheng is on business. Irrelevant people, leave quickly."
The assassin turned over and got to his feet. As the protective light flowed around him, the disgusting scabies also began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. His momentum changed. His bones let out a crisp crackling sound, and his entire figure changed into another person.
At the same time, he raised his hand and sent out a signal.
In the distance, figures flashed. First, dozens of experts in Taoist robes flew over from outside the Green Hornet Gorge and quickly approached. Then, a large number of hooves and footsteps came. A fully armed army directly surrounded the entire Green Hornet Gorge.
"Don't let Dao Zhen, the traitor of Mount Qingcheng go."
"Hahaha, Dao Zhen, you can't escape at this moment. You'd better surrender."
Figures flashed.
Outside the restaurant where the weary guests returned, experts in Taoist robes showed up and directly surrounded the young manager.
Several old Taoist priests in black robes were surging with powerful aura. They turned out to be experts in the Celestial Being Realm. They stood together with the middle-aged assassin who disguised as a refugee.
"Martial Uncle Dao Chong." A young Taoist priest handed the black Taoist robe he had prepared earlier to the assassin whose appearance had changed drastically. His real identity was a famous Celestial Being from Mount Qingcheng.
The young shopkeeper's complexion was pale. He extended his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. With a sorrowful expression, he said, "I have already given up. Why do you still want to kill me?"
"Hehe, give up?" The assassin, Dao Chong, sneered and said, "If Head Dao Ling wants your head, you have to die. Whether you want to fight for the position of Head of Mount Qingcheng or not, since Dao Chongyang appointed this position to you, you should not live in this world."
His words were filled with pride.
This time, he had a good grasp of Do Jin's personality. He pretended to be a refugee and pretended to be seriously ill. Then, when Do Jin came to treat him out of kindness, he ambushed him. This was his plan, and he personally took the risk to attack Do Jin.
Today, Dao Jin was severely injured, and he would definitely die.
As long as he got rid of this big trouble in the eyes of Head Dao Ling, he would definitely get the first credit when he returned to Mount Xuankong. In the future, he would definitely be able to secure the position of a hall master and have a promising future.
"I hid my identity not because I'm afraid of death, but because I don't want Mount Qingcheng to kill each other again. If Dao Ling wants the position of Head, he can take it. Over the past year, too many disciples of Mount Qingcheng have died. For the glory and strength of Mount Qingcheng, can't we put an end to this meaningless killing?"
Dao Zhen, the young shopkeeper, said with a sorrowful look.
Dao Chong sneered and said, "That's right. For the glory and strength of Mount Qingcheng, you'd better die. Otherwise, Head Dao Ling will not be able to sleep."
"Don't talk so much nonsense with him. Just kill him."
"That's right. Take his head and report it to Head Dao Ling. It will be a great credit to us."
"He's injured. He can't hold on much longer."
The other few old Taoists who looked like immortals were all brimming with murderous intent. They did not have the benevolent posture of Taoist monks at all. Instead, they looked like demons from hell, their faces contorted in a hideous way.
More than a dozen figures rushed out of the lobby of the restaurant.
"Head Dao Zhen!"
"Let's fight them!"
"You are the real traitors. Dao Ling deceived his master, killed his ancestors, and killed the loyal …"
They were the waiters, waiters, and cooks in the restaurant. They were of different ages, but their auras were not weak at all. They were all martial arts experts. They looked furious and guarded Dao Zhen in the middle. Needless to say, they were the experts of Mount Qingcheng who were loyal to Dao Chongyang, the former Head of Mount Qingcheng. Therefore, Dao Zhen, the direct disciple of the former Head of Mount Qingcheng, was their Head.
Li Mu had long heard about what happened in Mount Qingcheng.
In his opinion, Li Poyue, the Guanshan Master, and Dao Chongyang, the Taoist Master, the two experts at the peak of the Nine Superbs, had failed miserably in their lives. One of them was the legend of the martial arts in the Western Qin, and the other was the Taoist Master of the world, who had dominated the fortune of the two empires for a thousand years. However, neither of them had trained a real successor, and the management of their sects was in a mess. Once they died, the two Holy Clans were immediately plunged into internal strife. Their direct disciples were hunted down, and their thousand-year-old Holy Clans collapsed in an instant.
Moreover, until now, Li Mu had not figured out why the two old freaks who had lived for more than a thousand years had to fight each other for no reason. As a result, they both suffered heavy losses and were killed by a sneak attack … That was indeed a failure among failures.
Zhao Ji thought Li Mu did not know about those things, so he leaned over and whispered, "Mount Qingcheng is now under the control of the former Deputy Head, Dao Ling. Dao Zhen is the direct disciple of the former Head, and it was also the former Head who appointed Dao Zhen as the next Head before he went to Chongyang for the final battle. But it's a pity that Dao Zhen is not powerful enough to convince the public … Over the past year, Dao Ling has been sending people to hunt down Dao Zhen. It seems that this Inn for the Weary is the secluded residence of Dao Zhen's last force, and it has been discovered by Dao Ling's people …"
In fact, he had some sympathy for Dao Zhen. After all, he was the orthodox one.
People in the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the word "orthodox".
Unlike people in the Qin Dynasty, who worshipped the strong, people in the Song Dynasty paid more attention to laws and traditions even though they also worshipped the strong.
Moreover, since Dao Ling usurped the position of Head of Mount Qingcheng, in the past year, Mount Qingcheng gradually abandoned its old style of governing by doing nothing and became restless. Not only did they set off bloody storms in the Jianghu of the Northern Song, but they also began to forcefully intervene in the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty. It was said that Mount Qingcheng was behind the so-called Eight Lords' Rebellion, which made the country's strength consumed in the internal frictions.
As soon as Dao Zhen died, the thousand-year-old Holy Clan in the Northern Song completely fell into the hands of a tyrannical man who fished for fame and glory.
But Zhao Ji was powerless.
Li Mu also shook his head.
"Dao Zhen is really naive. He thinks he can solve the problems in Jianghu by living in seclusion. With such a character, if he has the strength of the Nine Superbs like Dao Chongyang, he may be able to suppress the ambitious people in Mount Qingcheng. But he is not strong enough … How naive!"
While they were talking, a fight had broken out outside.
Dao Zhen and the others had been heavily surrounded. Then, they were ambushed and seriously wounded. Unable to escape, they could only fight like cornered beasts.
The houses around the restaurant had collapsed. Many civilians and passers-by were trembling in fear and hiding far away.
But the entire Green Hornet Gorge had long been besieged by Taoist tactical deployments. Ordinary people could not escape even if they wanted to.
In addition to the experts of Mount Qingcheng, there was also the army. They had surrounded the entire town and no one was allowed to go out.
"Master, shall we drive away these human beings who disturb your rest?" Yuan Hou asked Li Mu for instructions.
Yuan Hou had been practicing the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method. Benefiting from the rich Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth in the blessed land of Taibai City, he had made rapid progress. Now, he could already make some changes. Along the way, he had turned into a handsome young man in cyan clothes. His aura was restrained, and he looked quite quiet. It was hard to connect him with his real body, which was more than three meters tall.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see."
Dao Zhen's situation was similar to that of his second brother, Qiu Yin.
However, unlike Qiu Yin, who vowed to practice hard in Taibai County to avenge himself and proudly declared that he did not want to recover the Guanshan Pasture through other people's hands, Dao Zhen chose to hide, endure, and make concessions, abandoning his entire faction. It was hard to tell which choice was right. Nevertheless, in Jianghu, Dao Zhen's choice undoubtedly put him and his supporters in a very dangerous situation.
Li Mu vaguely heard a few conversations coming from outside the town.
"General Chen, according to our previous agreement, when Uncle-Master Dao Chong and the others kill Dao Zhen, you will lead the army and charge into the town. Kill everyone in the town without mercy. Don't leave a single person alive, not even a chicken … Of course, all the wealth in the town will belong to you. As for the women … you can do whatever you want with them, but you must not leave any of them alive. Do you understand?"
"Well, little Taoist, rest assured. My brothers are very clever. As long as they have a little fun, they will never make a mistake."
Li Mu frowned.
"How could those Taoists be so cruel?"
"They are going to slaughter the town."
"Silence them?"
"It doesn't seem necessary to let the whole world know that they are hunting Dao Zhen."
Then, Li Mu's spiritual force silently spread out like a tide. Then, he heard the conversation of the other two experts from Mount Qingcheng —
"Senior fellow apprentice, in fact, we only need to kill the traitor Dao Zhen. Why do we have to kill so many people?"
"What do you know? "Hehe, after killing Dao Zhen, I'll put the blame on Dao Zhen and his fellows. I'll say that they killed all the townspeople in order to escape, which will make those believers who had a good impression on Dao Zhen despise him. Finally, I can announce to the world that before Dao Zhen died, he found his conscience and repented. He handed the token of the head to Uncle Dao Chong and returned to Mount Qingcheng. Then, Head Dao Ling will rightfully take the position of the head. Hehe …"
At that, Li Mu shook his head again.
"Those Taoists are really crazy and cruel to the extreme."
Therefore, he stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Hey, stop fighting. Stop … Let me be the judge."
