"Second Young Master Tang's fate is unknown?" Qi Zhengyan's first reaction was to confirm the news.
The waiter nodded hard. "Yes, it's said that Second Young Master Tang jumped into the water after being injured, and so did the assassin. They haven't been seen since."
Qi Zhengyan's expressionless face became solemn. He ordered the waiter, "Get out of the city and report this to Manager Lin."
Mengqi listened quietly. When the waiter left and they returned to the backyard, he asked, "Is Second Young Master Tang very important?"
Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly. "He's the legitimate grandson of the eldest branch. If Old Master Tang passes away, according to etiquette, he should inherit the position of the Master."
"What about his father?" Mengqi asked doubtfully.
Qi Zhengyan explained, "Old Master Tang's branch is the eldest branch, so he has always been the head of the family. Old Master Tang has three sons and four daughters. His daughters either marry other aristocratic families or join a rising power or school. One of his sons died of illness and another died in an accident while traveling around the world. The only surviving son, Old Master Tang, died of Qi-deviancy Derangement when Second Young Master Tang was young, leaving only Second Young Master Tang and Ninth Miss Tang. "
"I see." Mengqi finally understood Young Master Tang's position in the family. He asked deliberately, "Since he's the future Master, why didn't the Tang family send a Nine Apertures master to protect him?"
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly, "As the only grandson of the eldest branch, Second Young Master Tang has been spoiled by Old Master Tang since childhood. He's arrogant and lascivious. He hasn't mastered the" River-splitting Bladesmanship "and only opened his Eye Apertures with elixirs. Later, because of his pride, he had a conflict with Third Young Master Ye. They agreed to have a kung fu competition."
"Third Young Master Ye stole the Pill of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing and hurriedly opened his Ear Apertures before the competition. He humiliated Second Young Master Tang with absolute strength. It's said that he beat him until he knelt down. After this incident, the prideful Second Young Master Tang felt that he had no face to see anyone. While the elders in the family were not paying attention, he quietly left Yi City and wandered around the world. His whereabouts were unknown. Old Master Tang was furious. If anyone in the family dared to mention Second Young Master Tang or Tang Jing in front of him, they would be beaten with a cane. "
Meng Qi nodded lightly. "Old Master Tang is seriously ill. If this bad news reaches his ears, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer. Moreover, the position of the Master is vacant, so there's bound to be internal strife. I wonder who the Huanhua family will support?"
With his hands behind his back, Qi Zhengyan took two steps forward and said, "Among the other branches, only Second Master Tang, Master Tang the Fifth, and Master Tang the Seventh have the ability to compete for the position of Family Head. Master Lin has always been on good terms with our sect."
"In fact, I was Young Master Wan and Second Master Tang. When I was Tang, I, Master Master Master Master. I saw. I Master Tang. After understanding the general situation, Mengqi told Qi Zhengyan about his experience, including the discovery of Second Young Master Tang's body and the skin mask. He also speculated that Second Young Master Tang, Tang Jing, had returned to his hometown.
Qi Zhengyan was lost in thought. After a while, he said, "Cousin, your guess should be right. Now that you mention it, I just remembered that some strangers in Yi City asked about Second Young Master Tang some time ago. But there was no trace of him these days."
Since the assassin succeeded, there was no need to ask about him.
"Don't spread the news about Second Young Master Tang's death. Let the Tang family have some hope to avoid any sudden changes." Mengqi pondered. "You'd better spread the news that Third Young Master Ye didn't want his enemy to return to his hometown, so he hired an assassin to kill Second Young Master Tang and Master Wan."
People didn't need to believe this kind of rumor. They just wanted to plant the seeds of doubt and cause cracks in the possible defection. After all, Third Young Master Ye was vicious and had a grudge against Second Young Master Tang. If Second Young Master Tang returned to his hometown and inherited the position of Master Tang, he would be able to mobilize many resources and even Precious Weapons. Third Young Master Ye would be in danger. Although he wouldn't lose his life, he would be humiliated.
Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly. "Okay."
He thought for a while and warned her, "You'd better not go out during this period of time. The situation is a critical moment. Although no one dares to attack me first and provoke the wrath of the Huanhua Swords Sect, your identity is more delicate. Moreover, the Ye Family can't afford to lose face."
If they couldn't protect the Foreign Official and let him be killed in the mansion, how could they make the Foreign Official work for the Ye family in the future?
Although hurting the relative of a Huanhua Swords Sect disciple would also make the Huanhua Swords Sect angry, after all, if a sect couldn't even protect the relative of its own disciple, there would always be some problems with cohesion and cohesion. Therefore, when Li Sui first attacked, he didn't kill Qi Zhengyan's cousin. He only broke the tendons of his hands and feet to preserve the possibility of a normal life outside of practicing martial arts in the future. However, there were some exceptions. For example, if the relative caused trouble first and was retaliated by others, the Huanhua Swords Sect might not be willing to be involved. Otherwise, it would be easy for people with ulterior motives to make an issue of it.
"Okay, I came here to live a stable life and concentrate on practicing martial arts." Mengqi didn't mind it at all. Then he looked at Qi Zhengyan with a smile. "Senior Brother Qi, we haven't fought yet. There's no time like the present. How about now?"
He wanted to try the power of the "Book of the Chaos".
Because the origin of the skill was still unclear, Qi Zhengyan practiced the "Book of the Chaos" alone. He could only practice it during Samsara tasks. With the Death Task at hand, he was inevitably a little nervous and worried that he didn't have enough actual combat experience. Therefore, Mengqi's proposal was exactly what he wanted. He nodded without hesitation. "Let's go to the practice room."
He opened up a row of wing rooms in the backyard and turned it into a spacious practice room to avoid being spied on while practicing martial arts in the yard.
The practice room was paved with bluestones and sprinkled with some refined iron ore. At first glance, Mengqi knew what was going on. It was for practicing the "Kunlun Earth".
He didn't say much. He took off the package and took out the Evil Ordeal. Then he threw it aside and drew out the Ice Palace Sword. He held the sword in his left hand and the blade in his right hand without any contempt.
In the previous battles, except for An Guoxie and You Huanduo, Mengqi's enemies were in a high realm, but their martial arts were not good enough. Compared with most of the top ten masters on the Ranking List of Young Masters, they were too weak. Their overall strength was not good enough. The "Book of the Chaos" was a peerless manual of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms. It was similar to the "Supreme Sword Scripture" and the "Advent of the Ajati Matriarch". Mengqi's own Enlightening the Apertures Chapter of the Eight Nine Mysteries was just a beginner. Therefore, even though Qi Zhengyan had opened one less Nose Aperture than him, he didn't dare to look down on him.
Qi Zhengyan unsheathed the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword. The sword was surrounded by clouds and mist. Its majesty was like a wave, rushing at Mengqi.
Mengqi knew the special features of the "Book of the Chaos" and the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword. He ran the mental cultivation method of the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship to guard his mind internally and release his spirit externally. Combined with the body seal of the Immortal Pressing Art, everything around him was reflected in his mind. It was much clearer than before. He could even roughly grasp the flow of genuine Qi around Qi Zhengyan and the flow of breath on the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword.
This was the way the Immortal Pressing Art combined spirit and genuine Qi could detect the enemy. If Mengqi didn't have the advanced Transformation Strategy as a foundation, he wouldn't have been able to master it so quickly.
Qi Zhengyan's body emitted rays of light. They were as red as fire and as bright as lotus flowers. He looked like a deity.
"Take this!" Qi Zhengyan shouted. The rays of light vibrated, making his voice seem to fall from the Nine Heavens. It was grand and lofty, striking people's hearts.
As a comprehensive Peerless Divine Kung Fu, the "Book of the Chaos" did not lack the God-suppressing Sound.
Mengqi felt dizzy for a moment, but he soon recovered. If he hadn't practiced the Transformation Strategy and the Immortal Pressing Art, this shout would have made him sluggish for a moment.
Wisps of white smoke came out, shrouding the surroundings and obscuring the sight. Mengqi couldn't see the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword or Qi Zhengyan.
However, with the help of spirit and genuine Qi, a red flowing light was reflected in his mind. He could vaguely feel the distribution of genuine Qi.
He stabbed out the Ice Palace Sword with his left hand. It seemed to be a random and aimless move, but it suddenly made a crisp sound and touched the back of the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword.
At the same time, Mengqi chopped out the Evil Ordeal with his right hand. The saber light jumped like the sunlight in the waves, flickering and changing endlessly.
The power of this saber was restrained, ethereal and indescribable. The changes seemed to be generated by the mind, making people feel that it was difficult to resist and unwilling to parry.
In the face of this saber with the Essence of Saber Taoism, Qi Zhengyan didn't know how to deal with it. The Dragon Stripe Golden Sword couldn't keep up with the changes and grasp the pulse.
However, the "Book of the Chaos" was a powerful kung fu. He didn't panic and pressed the long sword down. The surrounding refined iron ore burst out and hit Mengqi with a whistling sound.
Mengqi's skin was dark golden. He didn't care and still chopped out the Evil Ordeal without being affected at all.
The refined iron ore hit his body one after another, stirring up layers of dark golden light. Most of them were shaken back, and a few hit the vital parts. However, they seemed to have lost their strength and fell to the ground.
The Evil Ordeal suddenly sped up, as if it had an external force, and fiercely chopped the rays of light.
Chixia danced and deflected most of the saber power. However, Mengqi's Evil Ordeal seemed to have a life of its own. It kept jumping and dancing along the rays of light and directly cut in!
Qi Zhengyan shouted and hit the tip of the saber with his left palm. The cold air was like frost, hitting the tip of the saber and breaking the momentum of the Evil Ordeal.
He swung his Dragon Stripe Golden Sword, and a crystal cold flowing light flew out. The cold air was dense, and it hit Meng Qi.
Mengqi's body suddenly rotated. Most of the freezing light was deflected and a small part disappeared. Taking advantage of this momentum, he chopped down with the Evil Ordeal, fierce and unstoppable.
This was another Essence of Saber Taoism that he had comprehended when he was practicing the "Purple Thunder Sabersmanship" and combined it with the Outline of Heavenly Knife!
Qi Zhengyan raised his sword to resist, but the Evil Ordeal chopped on the sword without any fancy moves. The strong saber power was like thunder, and the hidden ice and snow were like needles. It bounced off the Dragon Stripe Golden Sword and made Qi Zhengyan shiver slightly.
The Evil Ordeal followed the "genuine Qi lines" and cut through the red rays of light. Although it had lost its momentum, the Ice Palace Sword still quietly pierced in at the perfect time.
Mengqi withdrew his saber and sword and hurriedly used his Qi to drive out the cold. Qi Zhengyan's Icesnow Genuine Qi was different from ordinary genuine Qi. Not only was it highly condensed, but it also froze his blood vessels after entering his body. Even with the Immortal Pressing Art, his meridians were still affected. If he had not practiced the Eight Nine Mysteries and the Golden Bell Shield, he would not have been able to make the last cut.
"It's so cold." Mengqi sheathed his saber and sword and rubbed his hands. "Cousin, when you open your Nose Aperture, I'm afraid I won't be able to win if I don't use my trump card of the Exterior."
Qi Zhengyan, who had practiced the "Book of the Chaos", was almost equivalent to a Half-step Exterior Scenery with a weakened range and power.
Although Qi Zhengyan had lost, he looked a little happy. In his mind, Junior Brother Mengqi could definitely be ranked in the top 20 of the Ranking List of Young Masters. The fact that he could fight with Mengqi to this extent meant that he had the strength to step into the Ranking List of Young Masters. For an ordinary disciple who had never seen the light of day, it was really gratifying.
The two fought for two more rounds and each gained a lot. At noon, Manager Lin sent a letter to them.
Qi Zhengyan opened the letter and slightly frowned. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"What did he say?" Mengqi raised his eyebrows.
Qi Zhengyan said in a low voice, "He accused us of ignoring the overall situation and stirring up trouble without authorization."
"Cousin, what's your plan?" Mengqi smiled carelessly.
Qi Zhengyan said expressionlessly, "He said that the Ye family slandered us. If they suspect us, they can write back to the mountain and ask the Uncle Masters of the Torture Hall to investigate."
"Good, that's the attitude." Mengqi laughed.
Qi Zhengyan glanced at him and said, "Manager Lin still doesn't believe that my cousin was killed by Li Sui. He thinks that I'm trying to stir up trouble and take advantage of it to gain credit. Cousin, why do you believe me after hearing my side of the story?"
"You're my cousin." Mengqi said with a faint smile. Then he put on a serious expression. "We're sworn brothers. You can do it yourself. You can't use me. Hey, if you can't even believe the words of a sworn brother, are you going to believe the Ye family? I'm not the arrester of the Six Fan School. I don't care what happened. I know that you and your cousin suffered a loss. That's enough. "
When he asked for directions, he also checked if there was such a thing.
The next few days were calm. Mengqi did not go out and focused on practicing until Lord Tang the Fifth sent a letter to invite Manager Lin and Qi Zhengyan.
