Although the question was straightforward, Li Yijie knew it was not intentional. Besides, he always felt an indescribable sense of intimacy toward this young man, so he did not want to be pretentious in front of him. With a bitter smile he said, "That's right! Look, your Dage is such a good-for-nothing. Zhuangyuan Gong, you can't learn from me in the future. "While saying that, his fingernail lightly tapped the wine cup. Tang Yuancheng heaved a deep sigh. He picked up the wine jar and threw his head back, 'gulp, gulp' he gulped several mouthfuls. He recited, "Life must be full of joy, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty, drink!"
As soon as Li Yijie said that, he realized there was a big problem with his advice. From Tang Yuancheng's current attire, it was clear that he did not want to say anything. Looking at the two of them, they looked like a pair of brothers in distress. It was difficult to persuade him. As soon as he put down the wine jar, he took it and drank it. The wine jar was handed over to the two of them in turn. The wine was getting lighter, but their mood was getting heavier.

The Hierarch of the Shadow Cult had shaken off the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect. Without stopping to rest, he pursued Chu Menglin, but even after running for a long time, he still did not see her shadow. In terms of internal energy cultivation, even if she was given an extra hour, she could not possibly be faster than him. Thinking about it, perhaps she was hiding along the way.
The mountain forest was covered by vegetation, the terrain was concealed. Just now he had wasted a lot of time, so it would not be easy to go back and search for her. However, the 'Residual Shadow Sword' was not in her hand, he was not in a hurry to catch this rebellious girl. His concern was that the Headquarter had been left unattended for a long time, leaving only some shrimp soldiers and crab generals with meager martial art skill to guard the place. He did not know if there would be any changes in the next several months. He was unwilling to give up his base of operations for many years. Seeing this place was closer to the Headquarter, he took a shortcut back.
The Cult was calm and peaceful, everything was as usual. He was slightly relieved. He showed the tablet again, ordering Jiang Liechen to return to the Cult as fast as he could to receive the order. He also sent a disciple to deliver the letter, while silently calculating his travel schedule. However, Jiang Jianchen had arrived five days later than he had expected. It was obvious that Jiang Jianchen hadn't taken his orders to heart at all. The Hierarch's anger rose in his heart. Thinking that he had a mission for him, he was not in a hurry to turn hostile.
He brought him to a windowless secret room and ordered his subordinates not to stay nearby. He drove everyone far away, closed the door, and walked to the side with his hands clasped behind his back. He wanted to hear his report first. After waiting for about the time needed to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Liechen remained silent, as if he had the patience to drag things out with him even if he had wasted the whole night. Although the Hierarch felt that it would be inappropriate to speak first, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He tried his best to control his temper and said, "You've heard about Yun 'er?"
"Yes," Jiang Liechen replied, but after that he did not reply. The Hierarch couldn't do anything about it, so he had no choice but to give in and ask, "What do you think?" Jiang Liechen coldly said, "He brought it upon himself, subordinate has nothing to say."
The Hierarch made a sound of surprise and said, "Haven't you always had a good relationship with Yun 'er? What do you mean? " Then he thought about how he could have assumed the attitude of a high and mighty ruler and listened to his subordinate's report, but now it had turned into a rigid question and answer. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He said, "What do you mean? What do you mean? Say it! Why do you have to answer every time I ask you a question? Are your words that valuable? "
Jiang Liechen said indifferently, "Subordinate hates people who don't keep their word the most. Yun 'er didn't keep his word, I don't have such a brother. I won't care about his matters anymore. Whether you want to kill him or save him in the future, don't look for me. "
The Hierarch laughed coldly and thought, "Didn't keep his word? Looks like Yun 'er's report is true. " He changed the topic and said, "Recently, there's a new gang of bandits in the martial arts world. They're very powerful. They're called the Qing Tian Village. Have you heard of them?" Jiang Liechen's eyes didn't have a trace of emotion. He said, "They're just ants, they're nothing to worry about." The Hierarch laughed coldly and said, "Very good. If I were to send you to eliminate them, wouldn't you have to answer me, 'There's no need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken'? Hmm? "Jiang Liechen said," That's exactly what I said. "
The Hierarch snorted coldly. Under the cover of his mask, no one could see the change in his expression. He paused for a moment and then said, "Very well, I won't use your talents for petty purposes. I have another important task for you to do. To tell you the truth, it was I who ordered you to enter the palace and assassinate Consort Yun. Now that my sect is the dominant faction, she actually dared to send troops to invade. How can I tolerate someone riding on top of my head and acting like a tyrant? Since Yun 'er has failed, you'll clean up the mess for him. Go kill that stinky woman and bring her head to me. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? "Jiang Liechen said," I won't go. "
The Hierarch had expected that when he was sent to kill Shen Shiyun, he would definitely make a scene. But he didn't expect him to refuse so bluntly, leaving no room for negotiation. He was slightly startled and then angrily said, "You won't go? Why won't you go? "Jiang Liechen said," Because I don't think her time of death has come. "The Hierarch sneered and said in a strange voice," You think? What, are you refusing me? " He walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back and circled around the Hierarch. Jiang Liechen's gaze was indifferent as he looked straight ahead. He didn't show the least bit of fear towards the Hierarch's approach.
The Hierarch was the first to lose his cool. He opened his mouth and said, "There's something I haven't pursued with you. That Shen Shiyun, she's the orphan of Shadowless Mountain Villa, right? "He stared at the Hierarch's face. Jiang Liechen finally couldn't maintain his usual calmness. He said, "How did you know?" After a moment, he suddenly understood. He said, "An Yesun …" The Hierarch said, "You don't need to know how I know! You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no'. "
Jiang Liechen's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness. He said with hatred, "That damned thing!" The Hierarch angrily shouted, "What did you say?" Jiang Liechen glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully, "Yes. So what? " The Hierarch said coldly, "Then I want to ask you. When you left her alive, was it because you didn't do your job well, or was it because you deliberately overlooked it?"
Jiang Liechen sneered, "You already have a conclusion in your heart. Isn't it unnecessary to ask me again? I'll just say that you're right. "
The Hierarch angrily said, "I'm the one asking you, not the other way around!" Seeing that Jiang Liechen didn't say anything, but his expression was extremely stubborn, he sneered and nodded. He said, "So that's how it is. You want to break off your relationship with me because of this woman? Back then, when Yun 'er was entangled with that bitch Yao of the Eastern Regions, you were the one who personally took care of it. (See Mo Qian's Sorrow for details) I even praised you for being decisive in handling matters and not being disturbed by personal affairs. How can you be so ignorant when it comes to yourself? That bitch was willing to betray the righteous path for Yun 'er. That's one thing, but the one you hooked up with is my sect's mortal enemy. You colluded with her to destroy the foundation that I built with my own hands. Speak! Do you know your crime? "
Jiang Liechen thought of An Yesun. His actions had made him extremely disappointed, but he still cared about their many years of brotherhood. He couldn't harden his heart to hate him. He was annoyed and said impatiently, "Why do I have to answer when you ask me? In my opinion, your words are no different from the chirping of cicadas and the barking of dogs. Can't you let me be quiet and shut up? "
The Hierarch raised his hand and slapped Jiang Jianchen's face. The hair on the side of Jiang Jianchen's face was blown up by the wind from the palm, but he still stood there without moving. The Hierarch saw that he didn't care and became even angrier. He shouted, "You unfilial disciple, kneel down before me! Without my forgiveness, you're not allowed to get up! "He raised his leg and kicked him hard on the knee. He turned around and left, muttering," You're all grown up? It seems that I can't order you around anymore. Then there's no need to trouble you. I'll go there myself. I'm not afraid that I can't take care of a woman. When I come back, I'll settle the score with you! "He cursed and walked out.
Jiang Liechen's eyes flashed fiercely. He suddenly jumped forward and grabbed the Hierarch's right arm and twisted it behind his back. His right hand crossed under the Hierarch's wrist and restrained the Hierarch's left arm at the same time. He pressed it against his back. His palm pressed against his shoulder blade and his five fingers pressed down on his shoulder. The Hierarch didn't panic in the face of danger. He turned his head slightly and shouted, "What are you doing? You're rebelling! Why aren't you letting go? "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "I've already said that no one is allowed to touch her. Naturally, that includes you. Don't you always teach your subordinates to do what they say? You actually dared to test the law. You're saying that I'm rebelling? You've asked this question many times. Now I'll really do it for you. But I can't wait for you to die, so I have to act early. "
The Hierarch laughed coldly as if he had heard the world's biggest joke. He said, "Your martial arts were all taught by me. You dare to rebel against me? You're simply seeking your own death! Fine, I'll take back everything I taught you today! " The bones in his body crackled. A ring of black gas faintly appeared on his body. His pupils turned blood red. With a loud shout, a large amount of internal energy surged out and his arms broke free.
Jiang Liechen retreated. He crossed his palms to resist the impact of the force. Then he hurriedly lowered his body to avoid the palm coming from above his head. He took the opportunity to raise his arms and sweep horizontally. The Hierarch took advantage of the momentum to chop downwards. Jiang Liechen turned his wrist to block. The Hierarch's palm power spat out, shattering the clothes on his upper arm.
Jiang Liechen moved his feet and turned around. His fists carried the sound of the wind as he continuously attacked the Hierarch's vital points. Although the two hadn't really clashed once, they both felt that the other's internal energy was steady. They were indeed formidable opponents.
The Hierarch was surprised by Jiang Liechen's rapid advancement in internal energy. He slowly put away his contempt. After becoming the Hierarch, he hadn't stopped practicing martial arts for more than ten years. However, there was always a difference between practicing alone and exchanging blows with others. A few days ago, he fought with the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect. His opponent was extremely weak and he didn't fight to his heart's content. At this time, he still believed that he was invincible in the world. For the time being, he couldn't deal with Jiang Liechen because he wasn't 'serious' yet.
His arms continuously flipped. Jiang Liechen suddenly attacked from a gap, forcing him to be flustered. He hurriedly pushed his left palm to block, his right hand chopping twice in the air, drawing a semicircle. His left palm came out from below. The real power of his palm was only now released. A layer of dark purple light appeared in the center of his palm.
Jiang Liechen leaned slightly to the side. Using the Hierarch's shoulder as leverage, he flipped behind the Hierarch. The ball of light he sent out earlier hit the ground, creating a deep pit. When the Hierarch saw him dodge, he guessed that he wanted to sneak attack from behind. He immediately turned around, overlapping his palms, and pushed forward with his long arms.
These moves all happened in a flash. As soon as Jiang Liechen's heels touched the ground, he turned around and attacked, using his palms to block. His left palm didn't move, but his right arm went around the Hierarch's flank. Holding the end of his arm, he punched to the right. When it hit the ground, he raised his right arm and hit the Hierarch's jaw.
Although the Hierarch was wearing a mask, which reduced most of the force, he still felt a throbbing pain in his head. His temples exploded. He knew that this was a heavy blow. The subordinate he cultivated dared to attack so ruthlessly. He was really determined to 'kill the monarch and usurp the throne'.
Jiang Liechen had already pulled back his arms and pushed his palm towards the Hierarch's abdomen. The Hierarch flicked his sleeve to block. Jiang Liechen turned his left palm to parry. His right hand chopped twice in the air, drawing a semicircle. His left palm came out from below, a dark purple light shining from the center of his palm. These moves were exactly the same as the Hierarch's.
The Cult Leader stared blankly for a moment, his chest was struck. He hastily jumped back, but he still could not stand steadily. He took several steps back and swallowed back the blood that was rushing up his throat. "You … this is the 'Seven Fiends Incantation'?" Jiang Jianchen smiled faintly, "That's right. At least you have some knowledge to be able to recognize the 'Seven Fiends Incantation'." Despite the fierce battle just now, his tone was still steady and he wasn't out of breath at all.
The 'Seven Demons Formula' was the core of the 'Seven Demons Formula'. The other weapons were just divine weapons. Without the support of top martial arts, it would be difficult to conquer the world.
