Menglin sighed, "I've wronged you … You … Don't worry about me, just run for your life. I'm their target, they won't dare do anything to you …" Tang Yuancheng said, "No, no, I'm the one who brought them here. It's all my fault, I won't abandon you and run for my life!" Chu Menglin sighed and said, "You are nobody to me …" Tang Yuancheng turned his head toward the big man and shouted, "Of course I want to live. Grandpa, you have passed away a long time ago, your grandson misses you very much. Why did you bribe the King of Hell today and come to visit relatives in the world of the living?"
Chu Menglin anxiously said, "Idiot! Don't provoke him … "The big man's eyes were spitting fire." Wah, wah, wah! "he let out a strange cry and pulled a flexible whip from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, the flexible whip shot out like a snake and coiled around Tang Yuancheng's neck. Dragging him along, he flew across the air and landed in front of the big man. The big man grabbed the whip with both hands and pulled it hard. "I am sending you, this kid, to meet the King of Hell!" he shouted.
Tang Yuancheng's throat made a gurgling noise, he was almost suffocating. "Boss," the other man advised, "Consort Yun only ordered us to capture the witch. Who knows if we can touch this kid …" "What are you afraid of?" The big man asked, "If Consort Yun wants that witch, laozi will bring her here for her. Whether we kill other people or not, does she have anything to do with it?" Tang Yuancheng was almost unconscious, he did not hear the conversation between the two men.
When Chu Menglin heard that it was indeed Shen Shiyun's trap, he sneered inwardly. But he could not bear to see Tang Yuancheng die in front of him. Although she was a vicious witch by nature, if there was someone who sincerely treated her well, she would be grateful. She indeed treated him as a friend. He lay on the ground, hoping for a favorable turn of events.
Just as he was about to die, his prayer came true. A masked man flashed into the inn like a gust of wind and struck the man's head with his palm. The man didn't even have time to make a sound before he breathed his last. Chu Menglin hurriedly went forward to untie Tang Yuancheng's whip and patted his back to help him breathe normally. He watched as the masked man displayed his skills, shuttling back and forth in the shop like a flash of light. With just a pair of bare hands, he either chopped or cut, killing all the burly men in a few moves.
Tang Yuancheng's divine sense recovered. He coughed a few times and the golden stars in front of his eyes gradually dispersed. The masked man was already in front of him. Tang Yuancheng was just about to open his mouth to express his gratitude when the masked man said in a low voice, "The enemy still has reinforcements. We can't stay here any longer. Follow me!" He lifted the two of them up with both hands and flew away without touching the ground. Chu Menglin furrowed his brows. He felt that this person's figure and voice were extremely familiar, but it was difficult for him to recognize him.
The masked man carried the two of them and fled all the way out of the capital, heading straight for the wilderness. At the foot of Taihang Mountain, they were surrounded by towering trees that blotted out the sky and the sun, so they could temporarily take shelter. Although Tang Yuancheng knew that the two of them relied on this man to save them, but since he killed so many people in the inn, it seemed that this man was also a vicious and merciless person, so it was not appropriate for him to have a deep friendship with him. But since he was little, he had been well-versed in the Confucian classics, so he knew the necessary etiquette. He helped Chu Menglin to sit against a tree, then walked forward and bowed deeply toward the man according to Jianghu etiquette. He said, "Thank you very much for Senior's help. Junior can't thank you enough. Junior doesn't dare to ask Senior's honorable surname and great name. Junior will definitely pay you a visit some other day to express his gratitude." Earlier he heard the man's voice was old, so he directly addressed him as' Senior '.
The masked man's throat emitted a vague laughter. He said, "Good disciple, you've become famous overnight, so you don't even recognize your Shifu?" He raised his hand and took off the black cloth on his face. Sure enough, he was the Sect Leader of Kongtong who had disappeared for a long time.
Tang Yuancheng cried out in alarm, "How … how could it be you?" He was so shocked that he successively retreated several steps. The Sect Leader of Kongtong smiled and said, "You really live up to expectations, becoming the Zhuangzi in the imperial examination. Shifu is happy for you." Tang Yuancheng shook his head. "No," he said, "You are not my Shifu. You are a bad person!"
The Sect Leader of Kongtong pretended to put on a straight face. "How can you talk like that?" He said, "A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime, don't you know? Have you read all the sage books in your belly for nothing? "Tang Yuancheng only said," I don't believe you. You are a bad person. " With a cold laugh the Sect Leader of Kongtong raised his finger toward Chu Menglin and said, "Speaking of bad people, how can your Shifu compare to this witch? Poor Taoist does not dare to show off his slight skill in front of an expert. "
Tang Yuancheng rushed toward Chu Menglin and said, "You are not allowed to hurt her. Quickly let us go!" The Sect Leader of Kongtong said, "Right now outside the mountain there are pursuers everywhere, where can you hide? Yuancheng, do you know who this witch is? Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you really want to protect her like this? "Tang Yuancheng shook his head. The Sect Leader of Kongtong smiled and said, "She is the Miss of the Sacrifice Shadow Demon Cult, the biggest evil cult in Jianghu. Her hands are stained with blood, yet you still want to mingle with her? You are wasting your own reputation! "
Tang Yuancheng sternly said, "Humans are not saints and virtuous people, how can we not make mistakes? Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. As long as she has a repentant heart, there is no one in Buddhism who cannot be enlightened. They will certainly allow her to turn over a new leaf. Otherwise, even if we kill her, she will not be able to come back to life. Why should we kill more people? " If it was another person who tried to persuade him, at least his mind would be disturbed, but the Sect Leader of Kongtong in front of him was not a kind person. Naturally the weight of his heart was more inclined toward Chu Menglin.
The Sect Leader of Kongtong laughed aloud, he laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth. With one hand supporting himself on a tree trunk to support his trembling body, he said with a laugh, "Miss Chu, our Zhuanggong is indulging in the wildest fantasy, vainly trying to persuade your esteemed father to renounce evil and turn to good! Don't you think it's funny? "With a bitter smile Chu Menglin said," It's not funny at all. It's really a fool's dream. "
With a proud smile the Sect Leader of Kongtong looked back at Tang Yuancheng and said, "What do you think? She admitted it herself, you should believe her, right? " Tang Yuancheng did not know what to do, he called out, "Miss Chu …" Chu Menglin coughed twice and said, "Taoist Priest is a busy man, you don't have the time to chat with junior. If you have any request, please name your price first, so that we can have a clear idea. "
The Sect Leader of Kongtong raised his thumb and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Miss Chu understands the situation. Poor Taoist is sincere, I want to use your two lives to make a deal with the two of you." "Miss Chu," Tang Yuancheng said, "Don't listen to him, this is his trap." "Watch your mouth," the Sect Leader of Kongtong coldly said, "Just now if I did not save you in time, you would have been chopped into eight pieces by that group of assassins. How could I still spare your little mouth to disrespect me?" "Jackals of the same lair," Tang Yuancheng said, "You are all colluding with each other."
With a bitter smile Chu Menglin said, "Yuancheng, you are wrong, they are not on the same side … Don't ask too much, just think of it as us repaying Taoist Priest's kindness of saving our lives." The Sect Leader of Kongtong smiled and said, "You are indeed the pearl of the Devil Cult's Hierarch's palm, you can see the big picture. Poor Taoist heard that when Miss Chu betrayed the Cult and fled, she stole a precious sword from the Cult. Is that true? "
Chu Menglin had always pretended to be calm, but this time he could not help but be startled. "How did you know?" he asked anxiously. The Sect Leader of Kongtong said, "Looking at Miss Chu's reaction, you must have admitted it. That saves Poor Taoist from wasting my breath. Although I was seriously injured some time ago, I still have eyes and ears all over the world. Nothing in Jianghu can be concealed from me. "With a cold laugh Chu Menglin said," Have you recovered from your disability? That day Li Dage was kind enough to spare your life, and now you are running wild again. You really don't know how to repent. "
The Sect Leader of Kongtong coldly said, "Spare my life? That fellow is not that kind-hearted. Poor Taoist's life was saved by chance. I think Miss Chu is very wise. Your father is short-sighted, he can't recognize a good steed like you, so you set up your own sect. You even want to take away the Cult's most precious treasure, which the Devil Cult relies on to establish itself. This move of taking away the firewood from under the cauldron was played beautifully! If he doesn't let you have an easy time, you can't let him have an easy time either. If you agree to join hands with Poor Taoist, I can help you become a king. I can guarantee that you will obtain supreme power, stepping on everyone's head, and enjoy endless glory, splendor, wealth, and rank. "
Chu Menglin sighed and said, "It's a pity that this little girl has no ambition, I don't have Taoist Priest's ambition. When I stole the Residual Shadow Sword, it was not because I wanted to be an equal to Father, but … it was just a weapon for self-defense. Since I was young, I have always faced blades and swords. I've long been tired of this kind of life of fighting and killing. Now my interest is dull. I just want to retire from Jianghu and find a peaceful place to live the rest of my life, standing aloof from worldly affairs. " Her betrayal of her father had already left a huge scar on her heart. After the incident in the royal mausoleum, she clearly saw that Dodo did not love her. Her entire person had been smoothed out, and all of her edges and vitality had been exhausted. Her state of mind was like a pool of stagnant water, bleak and without ripples.
The Kongtong Sect's leader praised, "That's right, retiring after success and living a carefree and happy life. This is also an excellent choice. But if you carry the Residual Shadow Sword, you will never be able to realize this wish. Not only will it not be able to protect you, it will also bring about endless disasters. An ordinary man is innocent. I think you know very well what to say next. "Tang Yuancheng interrupted," Why do you keep staring at her? What's the big deal about a sword? I'll just go to the weapons store and buy one for you. "
The Kongtong Sect's leader sneered, "Stinky brat, what do you know? How can the Residual Shadow Sword be compared to those scrap metals? What's the use of reading a head full of old antiques, but not knowing anything about the current world? Haven't you heard the saying 'the one who obtains the Residual Shadow Sword, the one who breaks the soul will obtain the world'? " Chu Menglin forced a smile and said, "That's also second-hand news. The authentic saying should be 'the seven evils gather, the world belongs to the world'."
The Kongtong Sect's leader was surprised, "What?" Chu Menglin faintly sighed and said, "Nothing … Nothing. He's innocent, just let him go. "Tang Yuancheng anxiously said," I'm not leaving, I want to take you back with me! " The Kongtong Sect's leader smiled and said, "If he wants to leave, he can leave at any time. But if the two of you want to leave together, you have to make this deal with this Penniless Priest! I've already treated you very leniently. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Challenging this Penniless Priest's patience won't do you any good. "
Chu Menglin softly said, "But the sword isn't on me." "That's right," the Kongtong Sect's leader said, "Such a precious object naturally can't be carried around all the time. It must be hidden in a very safe place, isn't it?" Chu Menglin thought, "If I can deceive him into helping us on the battlefield, this man is crafty and cunning, I think he can be of great help." Pretending to make up his mind, he beckoned the Kongtong Sect's leader with his finger.
The Kongtong Sect's leader was just about to lean over when suddenly his countenance changed. "Who's there?" he shouted. With a wave of his hand, several silver rays flashed, followed by a blood-curdling scream not too far away. Then the thicket shook slightly and two people walked out. The former was wearing a green gown, with a white headscarf tied around his forehead, he looked like a bandit. The latter was a young man, his clothes were simple and crude, but he exuded an unconcealable air of nobility. His right palm was pressed against his left arm. Obviously he was the one who was injured.
Through the gap between his fingers, the young man saw the blood oozing out of the wound was black. With a backhand swing of his sword, he chopped off the man's entire arm from the shoulder. 'Pop, pop!' his right hand successively sealed several major acupoints to stop the bleeding. Chu Menglin was accustomed to seeing blood, but this moment he could not help but be stunned. This man could be so cruel to himself, he would be even more merciless to others. Tang Yuancheng saw the bloody arm thrown to the ground. At first he was still trembling, his stomach was rolling, he almost vomited.
