There was a saying in the divine continent: What you fear will come.
When he fled with Li Muyang, Lu Qingming already knew that his father's situation was worrying.
But at that time, he still had hope. He thought that with his father's strength, even if he could not beat Song Gudu, a cultivator who had just stepped into the Astral projection realm, there was still a chance for him to escape. As long as his father wanted to escape, Song Gudu most likely would not be able to stop him.
Along the way, he was being hunted down. His father had not caught up with them, and there was not even a shred of news.
Lu Qingming's worry intensified, and the bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.
At that time, they were caught up in one tough battle after another, and the slightest carelessness could have resulted in the death of both father and son. And at that time, Li Muyang's body was still very fragile, and Lu Qingming alone was supporting the overall situation. It was really difficult for him to be distracted by other things.
Lu Qingming hid his worry for his father in his heart, and it was clear that Li Muyang also had the same idea as him.
The two people did not mention anything about the old man who was fighting on Mist Mountain, and did not speculate at all.
It was as though they knew that the old man just went out for a walk and would soon be back for dinner.
When the bad news came, Song Gudu's words were like a 'bolt of lightning' to Li Muyang and Lu Qingming.
It was dozens of times more lethal than the lightning that Song Gudu had summoned from thousands of miles away.
"Song Gudu, you old dog, I must kill you, I will not rest until you die — —" Lu Qingming roared hoarsely, spurting out blood.
His long hair was disheveled, his eyes were filled with blood mist, his face and body were riddled with scars, and his clothes were tattered and torn like a beggar.
The hatred of killing his father was absolutely irreconcilable.
He had loyally protected the country for thousands of years, guarded the borders, and fought incessantly. Lu Qingming's bloodline had become a single son.
Lu Xingkong only had one son, Lu Qingming. Lu Qingming had lived up to expectations, and had two sons, Li Muyang and Lu Tianyu. It was just that Li Muyang was left outside, and he did not have the opportunity to fulfill his duties as a father, and naturally did not enjoy the happiness of a father and son.
Lu Xingkong gave all his fatherly love to Lu Qingming alone. Similarly, Lu Qingming also gave all his respect, all his love, and all his fatherly feelings to the old man.
Ever since he was young, he had regarded him as his strictest father, and also his strongest idol.
In his heart, his father was omnipotent and invincible. He was the strongest supporter of the entire Lu Clan, as well as himself. As long as their father was there, there was no difficulty that they could not solve.
Lu Xingkong died in battle. The seemingly huge Lu family suddenly collapsed and fell in an instant.
The sky was falling!
His internal organs were already heavily injured, and with the news of his father's death, his injuries became even more severe. The clotted blood in his internal organs gushed out.
Lu Qingming clenched the Heavenly Emperor spear in his hand, about to rush up and fight Song Gudu.
"Father — —" Li Muyang dashed over, grabbing Lu Qingming who had fallen into a state of madness.
"Let me go, let me kill him …" Lu Qingming howled, not even hearing what Li Muyang had called him in a moment of desperation.
His heart was filled with remorse, remorseful for his weakness and powerlessness. Remorseful for his selfishness, only caring about escaping with his son, and not staying to take care of his old father. More than that, there was hatred, hatred for the enemy who killed his father, hatred for Song Gudu that old dog who would do anything to achieve his goal.
"Calm down." Li Muyang tightly held his struggling body, saying in a low voice: "If you rush up now, you will just die."
"Even if I die — —" Lu Qingming struggled more intensely. "I'm going to bite off a piece of his flesh."
"I won't allow you to die." Li Muyang suddenly raised his voice, roaring.
"Muyang — —"
"I won't allow you to die." Li Muyang said in a low voice. His voice was low and deep, but it hid a soul-stirring power. His expression was calm, and looked just a little deep and cold, but no one knew what kind of crazy and ruthless things he would do. "I won't allow you to die. I don't want you to die — — too many people have died. No one wants to die. If someone has to die, let me go. "
"Muyang, let me go, hurry go — —"
"This time, listen to me." Li Muyang said in a firm voice. "You're seriously injured, sit down and have a good rest. If I can defeat him, then we still have a chance to move on. Go to Wind City and reunite with our families. If I fail, there is no other choice — — we will die here together. "
"Muyang — —"
"So many people have died on Mist Mountain, and so many people have died on the way. Many of them are innocent people, and many of them are loyal generals of the Kingdom. They died so easily, in order to protect us. What's so special about us? "
Li Muyang forcibly supported Lu Qingming's body to a protruding stone.
He pressed his palm against the stone, and the ice and snow covering the stone were instantly swept away. The stone was emitting white smoke, which was what Li Muyang had learned from Lu Qingming, using essential qi to heat up the stone, to prevent Lu Qingming from freezing his body while sitting on it.
Lu Qingming had fought for so long, and was so deeply injured, he should have a good rest.
"You sit here and rest for a while." The corners of Li Muyang's mouth were slightly curved, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. "I won't let you wait too long."
Whether he was alive or dead.
In the face of an opponent like Song Gudu, it would not take too much time.
"Muyang — —" Lu Qingming's eyes were red, large beads of tears sliding down his cheeks.
He knew that once Li Muyang left, father and son most likely would never see each other again.
No, they would only see each other after death.
If there really was a place like the Asura hell that Buddhism talked about in the world.
Father and son had just reunited, grandfather and grandson had not had time to reunite, how could he be willing to let Li Muyang die?
Plop!
Li Muyang dropped to his knees, kneeling heavily in front of Lu Qingming.
Then, he knocked his head on the ice and snow on the ground again and again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
He kowtowed three times in a row, knocking out a deep pit in the flat snow.
Li Muyang raised his head. "I don't care how many secrets there are, and I don't want to think about what intentions you have in sending me out — — You gave birth to me and raised me, it is a great favour. Li Muyang has nothing to repay, these three kowtows are to thank Father for giving birth to me. "
"Muyang — —" Lu Qingming cried out, tears streaming down his face like rain.
Li Muyang got up from the ground, suddenly turned around and walked over to Song Gudu.
Song Gudu's body slowly descended, his feet landing on the snow.
The strange thing was that his boots were clearly stepping on the snow, but there were no footprints on the ice and snow, as though his body was weightless.
Kacha — —
Kacha — —
Kacha — —
Li Muyang came to a stop in front of Song Gudu, looking at him thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Gudu asked curiously when he saw Li Muyang was deep in thought.
"I'm thinking about how to kill you." Li Muyang uttered. In front of this old man, there was no need for him to hide his thoughts. There was nothing that the Eye of the Starry Sky could not understand.
More than ten years ago, Li Muyang's identity as a true dragon, as well as the relationship between Li Muyang and the Lu Family — — all came from the mouth of this old man.
"Have you thought of it?"
"It's hard to think about it." Li Muyang shook his head. "I don't know what kind of realm the Astral projection realm is, and I don't know how much power the Astral projection realm can exert. Without experiencing it myself, it's probably difficult to understand the gap between realms. But, I think, since my Grandfather couldn't stop you — — it would be difficult for me to do such a thing. So, I have to think about how to do such a thing. How to kill you to avenge Grandfather. "
"What? You've acknowledged each other? "Song Gudu asked aloud. "You don't hate him?"
"Hate him? Why should I hate him? "Li Muyang asked rhetorically. "A person, no matter what he did before, but later he was willing to use his life to protect you, to exchange for a chance to live — — such a person, why should I hate him? What right do I have to hate him? To use the life he protected to hate a dead man? I can't do such a thing. Compared to that, what have I done for him? "
Song Gudu seriously thought for a moment, then smiled. "Interesting. It's really interesting. Li Muyang, you are the wisest young man I have ever met. "
"Maybe the other young people you have met are too stupid." Li Muyang said bluntly.
"No. They're not stupid. "Song Gudu shook his head. "They're too smart, or want to hide their intelligence. Each of them has more or less ambitions, some people want this, some people want that, and if there are too many thoughts in their mind, they will inevitably be controlled by others or become the subject of ridicule — — Those who have no desires are firm, and those who have desires, how can they be tough? You have no desires, so you can always touch the core of things. You hit the nail on the head, hit the nail on the head. "
"Besides, how can the things in the world be so complicated? It's just that when there are too many people's thoughts, things will become complicated. For example, if other young people in Tiandu were to encounter something like you, they would definitely want to die, using their own grievances and the guilt of their family to bargain … The more intense the quarrel, the more generous the family's compensation would be. It's nothing more than that. "
"I'm not like them. First, I don't need other people's compensation. Because I have everything myself. "Li Muyang stated aloud.
"That's true. The Dragon clan is as rich as a country, and every dragon cave is a natural treasure. I was fortunate enough to find a dragon cave, and the richness of the treasures in it had already amazed me. You are a dragon, presumably, under the starry sky, there is no one richer than you? "
"That's right." Li Muyang said very frankly. "I'm not short of money. If I want, I can bring back a mountain of gold and silver at any time, or treasures more valuable than a mountain of gold and silver — — "
"I believe."
"Second, I don't lack love. Although they exchanged me with other children, they also gave me another family — — I have never regretted being the son of Li Yan and Luo Chi, and I am deeply proud of being their child. If I was given another chance to choose, I still hope I can have such an experience, I still hope I can be their son — — "
Li Muyang's eyes softened, whispering, "If I didn't have such an experience in my life, if I didn't have the chance to be the son of Li Yan and Luo Chi, if I didn't have the chance to be the brother of Li Shinian, that would be a real regret and loss — — They are my parents and my sister, my family forever. This will never change. "
"That's right. They really treated you well. " Song Gudu nodded. "When you fled Tiandu that night, I was very curious about this matter. Although I knew there were a lot of things that didn't make sense, I couldn't figure out where the problem was — — I doubted your identity, and also doubted that you had exchanged identities with someone else. Later, I sent people to Jiangnan to investigate, and they came back saying that the couple regarded you as their life. They didn't despise you or treat you poorly because you were born with a weak body … So, at that time, I believed that you were their biological son. The reason you left, perhaps it was because the couple had done something wrong and were banished. "
"They are the greatest parents in the world." Li Muyang said aloud.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid your biological parents are going to be sad."
"I know." Li Muyang nodded. "But for more than ten years, I have always thought so."
"I can understand. It has not been easy for you to come this far. "
"I used to think it wasn't easy for me." Li Muyang said aloud. "But compared to myself now, I found that the past was the most comfortable and happiest time of my life. It was just that I was sick and worried that I would die at any time. Of course, even if I died, I would have my parents and sister by my side. It was a peaceful death, a way that I could accept — — "
"Life now is not easy. Every day I have to worry about this and guard against that. My brain is always tense and my body is always in a state of alert. Even when I sleep at night, I have to try my best to keep one eye open and one eye closed, because I don't know who will suddenly appear and cut off my head with a sword … This is a calamity from the heavens, a bloody massacre, a mangled mess of flesh and blood, this is not a death I want. "
"Moreover, such an inexplicable way of death, you don't know who will kill you, and you don't know who will be by your side when you die — — Don't you think it's more difficult than before?"
"Listening to what you said, it does make sense." Song Gudu nodded. "It used to be difficult, but now it's even more difficult."
The murderous old man had a strong desire to chat. Perhaps, for decades, there was no one who could make him have an equal interest in chatting. Even when Lu Xingkong visited him again and again, he avoided meeting him again and again.
From this, it could be seen that there was no one in his eyes. Only Li Muyang — — the dragon had the qualifications to communicate with him on an equal footing.
Without a ruler, he directly killed the current Emperor and rebelled.
Without a father, his father had died a long time ago.
No one, there was no one who could be taken seriously by him.
When a person was strong to this extent, and had cultivated to this level, what he could pursue was nothing more than greater strength, and — — to be able to allow his family to enjoy wealth and power endlessly.
"Such a person is extremely dangerous."
Li Muyang was well aware of this. He knew that there was nothing he couldn't do, and there was no person he didn't dare to kill. To deal with such an amiable but extremely powerful and hard-working old man — — killing him was the smartest choice.
Li Muyang looked at Song Gudu, saying, "You haven't done anything yet, but you're talking so much nonsense to me — — what exactly do you want to do?"
Song Gudu was not surprised by Li Muyang's sensitive mind. "Isn't that what people do? First exchange feelings, and then it's much easier to make a deal with each other. "
"You want to make a deal with me?"
"Yes."
"You killed my grandfather." Li Muyang stated.
"I don't think you have that deep feelings for him."
"No, you're wrong." Li Muyang said in a low voice. "Even if he's not my grandfather, I have deep feelings for him. Since I returned to Tiandu, he has been taking care of me and protecting me. "
"If he hadn't secretly helped me, I would have been killed by you people with ulterior motives? For you, killing people is like mowing grass. Regardless of whether you can confirm my identity, or whether you can find the mystery of my identity, you can just directly kill him. Isn't that the end? You sent assassin Crow, right? "
"That's right." Song Gudu did not deny it. "Assassin Crow was sent by my family. They informed me, and I did not say yes, nor did I say no. He's just a boy of unknown origin, and at that time you really made people not vigilant. Perhaps this is the reason why the Lu Family sent you away — — Otherwise, they would have directly raised you in the Lu Family and given you the identity of the young master of the Lu Family. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, and everyone is on guard against you. As long as you have the slightest abnormality, you will be noticed. In any case, they have the need to kill you. "
"For me, these things don't matter. I just need to keep an eye on Lu Xingkong, watch him make a move — — Lu Xingkong is the real person. He is an admirable opponent. "
"You also sent Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school to kill me, right?"
"A boy of my family thought you were more suspicious, so he asked Mu Yubai to test you. What I didn't expect was that you seriously injured Mu Yubai — — The whole Tiandu was shocked. "
"The Still water sword school is the imperial family's sword school, why does it obey your orders?"
"What can the imperial family give him?"
"What can you give him?"
"I can't give him anything, but I can take away everything that the imperial family gave him." Song Gudu said with a chuckle. "Sometimes, it is also a gift to take away other people's things and then return them to them."
"Because the Lu Family refused to let you take away the military power in their hands, so you destroyed them?"
"One has to choose a side after all." Song Gudu stated. "Everyone else has chosen a side, but he refused to — — If he doesn't stand on my side, then he may stand on the enemy's side. Of course, the Lu Family has always been on the side of the imperial family. They have been guarding the battlefield for generations, their family is full of loyalty and heroes. Unfortunately, those outstanding children have all died on the battlefield — — don't you think it's a pity? "
"I don't think it's a pity." Li Muyang shook his head. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Perhaps it's because the blood of the Lu family flows in my veins and I've inherited some of their bad traditions … Since they've all died in battle, it's my turn to step up."
