"Death penalty!"
"Absolute death penalty!"
"Death penalty + 65535!"
"Who the hell is Auntie Four?"
"How dare he spread the rumor that Shang is obsessed with you in the scenario?"
"Burn this b * stard to death!"
"Feng Bujue has to die!"
"Xu Huai Shang's official fan club has declared that Feng Bujue's head is ours!"
"Shang's personal guards are ready! Execute Feng Bujue without mercy! "
Since the semi-finals were broadcasted at different times, all the viewers who were following Tournament for the Best S2 were watching the same match.
And their feelings when they saw this scene … were basically reflected in the bullet screen and comments above.
Of course, most of them were just complaining. Everyone understood that Eunuch Cao's conclusion must have been made after he was tricked in one of the scenarios.
No one would treat a misunderstanding in the game world seriously.
But … even so, Feng Bujue's actions were unforgivable. Goddess Xu's fans all agreed that it would be better for him to die.
…
After the discussion outside the game, the focus returned to the scenario.
After an awkward silence, Cao Xin spoke again. "By the way, Master Feng … I do have something that I wish to ask you …" He looked at Brother Jue and used a noncommittal tone to ask, "Back then, at the peak of the Forbidden City, you and that Miss Xu dissolved into white light one after another … What kind of spell did you use?"
"Oh … That …" Feng Bujue was experienced in answering questions like this. "Eunuch Cao has been practicing martial arts for a long time. Can't you tell?"
He sounded like he had said something, but in other words, he had thrown the question back at Cao Xin.
Cao Xin smiled when he heard that. "Haha … Master Feng is still the same … Fine, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."
Compared to the last time he met his Brother Jue, Cao Xin's personality had changed.
Ten years ago, there was still some hostility about him. From his attitude toward the three martial artists, one could see that … even though he was not bloodthirsty, he was not tired of killing. He could be merciful, but he could not be called merciful. He had lost interest in fame, but he was still obsessed with respect.
However, more than ten years had passed …
Now, Cao Xin's face and body had recovered to the age of forty. In fact, he looked even younger than when he was at Chang Lin Town.
His every word and action … always revealed a hint of indifference, a hint of carefreeness, and a hint of cynicism that didn't match his age.
The matters of Jianghu, the matters of martial arts, and the matters between people … He listened and asked, but he no longer cared and was not obsessed with them.
With Cao Xin's current realm, he was more concerned with 'how should he view the world' … As for how the world viewed him, he could just laugh it off.
"That's … very good." Feng Bujue replied and took the opportunity to ask, "Speaking of which... I also have something I don't understand and would like to ask for your advice..." He glanced at the stone pool. "As the saying goes... it's hard to drink without wine. Why is Eunuch Cao drinking wine and gazing at the spring alone in the middle of the night? "
Brother Jue did not ask why Cao Xin would appear at Buried Heart Valley because that was something that he could easily deduce. He had probably entered the valley together with the group of soldiers from the imperial court at the beginning of the movie. The thing that Brother Jue could not figure out was the question before him …
"Oh … about that …" Cao Xin chuckled. "Two hours ago, I stopped here and suddenly came across a new set of martial arts. I am currently working on it."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan heard that and asked with curiosity, "You will be able to perfect your martial arts while standing and drinking wine?"
"Hahaha …" Hearing that, Cao Xin guffawed. "Little brother, then … what do you think I should do? Have you set up a posture by the side of the stone pool to practice your martial arts? "
"Hmm …" Xiao Tan wanted to answer with a yes, but he felt like the man did not sound like he was asking a question.
"Haha … I have embarrassed myself in front of Eunuch Cao." Feng Bujue quickly interrupted. "This disciple of mine has the worst aptitude among all the guests. Back then, I saw that he had delicate features and thought that he was a smart kid. I did not expect him to be a fool when I accepted him as my disciple. Look … he has been with me for decades … but his martial arts level is still very low. "
"Oh …" Cao Xin nodded. "Master Feng, it is not easy for you."
The two of them talked back and forth like two adults talking about a kid. It was very irritating. Fortunately, Xiao Tan had a good temper, or rather, he was born with a good temperament. He did not take it to heart.
"Speaking of which …" After chatting for a while, Feng Bujue felt that the time was right, so he changed the topic to the plot. "If I am not wrong, this time Eunuch Cao came to Buried Heart Valley … to obtain the 'Art of Immortality' for the Emperor?"
"Hmph … Master Feng, you are very well-informed." Cao Xin's response was equivalent to agreeing with Brother Jue's words.
"Eunuch Cao, you must be joking …" Feng Bujue laughed. "Isn't this an open secret?"
This question was also a test.
"Haha … that is true." Cao Xin continued, "The King of Hell in Buried Heart Valley has the 'Art of Immortality'. The news of the Emperor's critical illness … could not be hidden. At this time, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Deputy of the Governor-General's Office, and I all rushed here together. Their purpose is obvious. "
"Hmm …" Two seconds later, Brother Jue nodded and said, "Those people in the Jianghu must have heard about this before they acted …"
"Sigh … humans have this problem." Cao Xin shook his head and sighed. "The legend of the King of Hell has been circulating in the Jianghu for decades. Many people know about it, but very few believe it. As for those who dare to come here to investigate … you can count them on one hand." He paused for a few seconds and drank another mouthful of wine. "But now, once the emperor's secret edict was released, the soldiers of the imperial court were mobilized, and these people couldn't sit still … Suddenly, they all believed it and came." He smiled. "But what about the reality? Hmph … regarding the 'Art of Immortality', the Emperor himself only believed 30% of it. To put it bluntly, he knew that he was about to die and wanted to make a last resort. That's why he issued the secret edict. "
"Eunuch Cao …" Feng Bujue heard this and laughed mockingly. "Your words are treasonous. Nine generations of your family will be executed."
"Ha!" Cao Xin waved his sleeves. "Why would I care about that?" He looked up at the sky. "If it wasn't to repay the previous Emperor's appreciation and kindness, I would have left the Imperial Court long ago. Who in this world … can stop me? " He drank another mouthful of wine. "As for the execution of nine generations of my family … I'm a eunuch. When I entered the Imperial Palace, I was already alone. After entering the Imperial Palace, it's impossible for me to have any descendants. If you want to execute someone, go for those who have acknowledged me as their godfather and godgrandfather. Most of them are treacherous people who want to curry favor with those in power. One less is one less. "
"Then …" Feng Bujue heard this and roughly understood Cao Xin's position. He asked, "Eunuch Cao, what do you think and plan about the current situation in the valley?"
"Plan? Ha … What do I have to plan? "Cao Xin asked back." If I had a plan, would I come here alone to drink wine and admire the spring? "
"Alliance Master Yuan and those martial artists are here to kill and steal the technique …" Hua Jian reminded him. "Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Court's troops will be wiped out by them?"
Cao Xin heard this and glanced at Hua Jian. Then, he revealed a meaningful smile. "Miss … you seem to have underestimated someone."
"Oh?" Hua Jian was puzzled. "Who?"
Cao Xin's answer was very unexpected. "Yuan Qi."
"Alliance Master Yuan?" Hua Jian asked again. She had just learned the full name of the Alliance Master of Wulin.
"Yes," Cao Xin replied.
"It sounds like … Eunuch Cao, you seem to know something?" Feng Bujue heard more information from Cao Xin's words.
"Yes … I know a lot," Cao Xin replied.
"Eunuch Cao, then can you let us know?" Feng Bujue asked with a smile.
"Hmm …" Cao Xin muttered. "It's too boring to just say it like this …" After that, he walked down from the stone pond. "Everyone, follow me … I'll bring you to watch a good show."
…
At the same time, in another part of Buried Heart Valley.
At this time, Alliance Master Yuan had led the martial artists along the main road for a long time.
Along the way, they had been attacked by more than ten "little ghosts". Although there was a godly person like Yuan Qi, it was inevitable that there would be casualties.
After all, there were hundreds of them moving together, and the terrain of Buried Heart Valley was very complicated. There were mountains, rocks, forests, valleys, and water. Moreover, it was shrouded in light and fog. If the "little ghosts" in the valley wanted to set up an ambush, it would be a piece of cake.
Moreover, the residents of Buried Heart Valley were all "tough fighters". Many of them were first-class figures in the Jianghu before they entered the valley, and after they entered the valley, their martial arts improved even more. Someone like Song Wuqi was basically a nobody in the valley, and there were many people who were more powerful than him.
Being ambushed repeatedly by such a group of people, it was impossible for them not to lose at least one or two people.
"Alliance Master … The total number of casualties from all the sects … is more than 100 people … If this continues, I'm afraid …" The person who spoke was called Ji Neng. He was the descendant of Ji Tong, the head of Octagon Tower. He was also the current head of Octagon Tower. His mastery of the Supreme Mantra of Eight Directions was a few notches below that of his ancestors, but in terms of martial arts, he could still be considered an outstanding talent among the masters of the sect around him.
This is a good chance to explain the world, so I'll give you a brief introduction.
After the Sword Competition in Chang Lin, the structure of the Jianghu in this world changed greatly. The original ranking of One Residence, Two Towers, Three Sects, Four Clans was completely overturned.
After that incident, the Ye family suffered a great loss, and they never recovered from it. At least in the past few decades, the Ye family did not have another expert who could be mentioned in the same breath as the old head of the family, Ye Cheng. Even those who had reached the level of the Six Flowery Blades could not be found.
Therefore, Thousand Dawn Spire and Octagon Tower rose to the top, and they became the two strongest forces in the Jianghu.
As for the Three Sects and Four Clans, it could be summed up as "declining in the process of inheritance." Just like what the blind man who taught Yuan Qi said … many people knew how to teach but did not learn, and some knew how to learn but did not teach. The tradition of seniority in the Jianghu was deeply rooted, and there was no lack of conflicts between the same generation. This resulted in the leader of the Jianghu not being the one with the highest talent or kung fu in the Jianghu. Of course, it did not mean that the one with the highest talent was the most suitable to be the leader … but in the matter of passing down kung fu, that was the key. Unless there was a prodigy who could revive the Jianghu … otherwise, as the tradition continued, the kung fu would deteriorate with each generation.
In any case, this pattern was maintained for more than twenty years.
It was not until fifteen years ago, when Yuan Qi, who had practiced Fengchen Xuan Gong for five years, made a name for himself in the Jianghu that the situation in the Jianghu changed again.
Another five years passed, and Yuan Qi had become a hero who stood above all the other sects. In terms of character, he was impeccable, and when he fought against the evil, he was able to defeat thousands of soldiers alone. Most importantly … his kung fu was invincible. (The 'invincible' here was naturally limited to the Jianghu and not the imperial court.)
Therefore, Yuan Qi naturally became the leader of the Jianghu.
That was the general change in this scenario over the past few decades.
"Tower Master Ji …" Yuan Qi heard what Ji Neng said and replied in a low voice, "Are you afraid of the battle?"
"No, no, no … Where did that come from?" Ji Neng denied it verbally, but internally, he was very anxious. Since Octagon Spire was at the front, according to the ratio, the number of disciples who died was quite high. "But … I think this action is a bit inappropriate."
"Tower Master Ji is right, and I think so too." The next second, a few leaders gathered around Ji Neng and agreed.
Looks like … Ruo Yu's earlier deduction was spot on. When the situation changed, these fellows … for their own benefit, they would start to side with those who were not.
"Based on my humble opinion, we should choose a few people with suitable kung fu from the various sects … and spread them out as scouts to test the enemy."
"That's right, this way, we won't be constantly attacked."
"That's right, Leader Yuan, the enemy is in the dark, and we're in the open …"
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore." How could Yuan Qi not understand what they meant? He was no longer the third-rate person he was 20 years ago. He was much more scheming and shrewd than the people around him. "Since all the sect masters have the same idea, then let's do as you say."
After Yuan Qi said that, he thought for a moment and prepared to turn around to pass on the message.
Unexpectedly, at that moment …
"Hahahaha … A bunch of snakes and rats. You can't be driven away, and now you want to fight among yourselves. What a joke!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out. It was a voice that used inner energy to send a message, mocking the hundreds of martial artists.
Apart from the literal meaning of his words, there were two other messages: Firstly, I'm not here to ambush you, I'm here to confront you head-on. Secondly, Yuan Qi, I can even hear the conversation between you and the people around you. My power … you should consider it yourself.
As soon as he finished speaking, they saw …
The light fog that shrouded everyone's heads rapidly surged into the air, as if it was being sucked up by an invisible force.
In an instant, the martial artists' field of vision widened by several times. They soon realized … that they were standing in a dangerous gorge surrounded by mountains on three sides.
"Hmph … You don't want to take the road to heaven, but you want to come to hell." After a few breaths, a second voice spoke using inner energy, "Since you've come to this' Broken Soul Gorge ', then you should all stay here!"
Along with this "death announcement", a large number of figures emerged from the mountain paths and stone passes on the three sides. There were more than a hundred people.
These people stood in the shadows of the high ground, watching the crowd in the gorge from afar. They were like a group of evil spirits that had their eyes on their prey, ready to make a move …
"There are a lot of people coming this time …" Yuan Qi saw the situation, but his expression did not change. "… It's good that they're here."
At this point, his right hand … moved.
Then, a soft sword was pulled out from the belt on his waist and hung down from his hand.
"I want to see …" Yuan Qi used a cold gaze and a murderous tone to shout at the "group of ghosts" in the high ground, "Tonight, in this' Broken Soul Gorge ', will it be a human … or a ghost …"
