Nangong Xue felt as if her shoulder bones had caved in. She could only smile bitterly and say, "I'm not in the mood for that. Just now, I promised you that I would only say a few words. Now that I've said everything, I have no regrets even if I die. I'm a man of my word. Even if I'm dealing with you, the world's most shameless person, my initial promise can't be changed. Why don't you just kill me now? "
Jiang Liechen said anxiously, "Right now, I'm allowing you to say ten or eight more words. As long as you can explain this matter clearly, I'll let you live a little longer!" Everyone couldn't help but nod inwardly. Nangong Xue wanted to use this method to tie down this devil, so that he would remember her and not dare to kill her again. As long as she didn't reveal the secret for the time being, she would be able to keep her life.
Nangong Xue glanced at Li Yijie and sighed softly. She understood Jiang Liechen's temperament better than anyone else. She knew that if she dragged this on until he lost his patience, he would rather not hear the news and would definitely kill her first. Moreover, she had to hint to Li Yijie that he should recognize a person's true colors and not be fooled. Only by explaining this matter clearly would he be able to die with peace of mind.
She turned her head and said, "I have no intention of instigating anything. It's all because you want to hear it, so I'll tell you the truth. That information was revealed by Noble Consort Yun, Shen Shiyun. She was the instigator. Before this, she had repeatedly instructed all the imperial bodyguards in the palace to conceal the truth. Although it was a lie, it was made up flawlessly. At first glance, it could be said to be flawless. Moreover, at that time, An Yesun was heartbroken by the news of Menglin's death. He was similar to you. No matter what the truth was, as long as he could find someone to vent his hatred on and personally take care of it, it would be as if he had already avenged Menglin. I won't deny it. He probably believed that when Shen Shiyun persuaded him to surrender six years ago, she said many bad things about you. You two have been brothers for so many years, yet he still values Menglin more than you; this layer is indeed a lack of trust in you. Let's not talk about it. Shen Shiyun advised your best friend to kill you. In fact, he didn't expect you to die because of this. He only wanted you to do it yourself, so that you would regret it forever. There was nothing that could make her happier than watching you suffer a fate worse than death. At the same time, she wanted to take care of her enemies herself. She wouldn't let you die in someone else's hands first. That's why it's best not to offend women. Sometimes, a girl's hatred for revenge can be very scary. "
An Yesun had told her a few bits and pieces of information during their journey from the capital to Huashan. As for Shen Shiyun's intention, she had only guessed it, but she was pretty close to the truth. This was the conclusion she had reached after several days of analysis. An Yesun did not listen to a single word she said, so he had no choice but to take this opportunity to tell her everything. At least her efforts were not in vain. She just didn't know if Li Yijie could see through Shen Shiyun's vicious heart.
Jiang Liechen was absent-minded. He muttered to himself, "Is it really her? That's right … that day at the ancient tomb in the deserted village, she did say that she would make me regret it … I underestimated this woman … "Just as his thoughts were in a mess, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down, and everyone followed his gaze. They saw a long sword piercing through his back, all the way to his chest. The exposed tip of the sword was completely dyed red with blood. The chair behind him had been kicked away. Liu Mujian stood there with a sharp blade in his hand, majestically standing there.
Jiang Liechen's expression did not change much, but he felt the consciousness he had worked so hard to gather dissipating again. This time, it was much faster than before. His fingers felt weak and his wrist drooped down, causing Nangong Xue to sit on the ground. A large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth. It seemed that all his life energy was flowing away with the blood, but he had no control over it. Finally, his body tilted and he fell to the ground again.
Lu Qian and Li Yijie rushed forward and helped Nangong Xue up. They saw that both sides of her throat were slightly swollen, mixed with some faint bruises, and a few blood vessels protruding from her neck. They hurriedly massaged her wounds. Liu Mujian put away his long sword and stepped forward. "Niece Nangong, how are you? Are you alright? "
Lu Qian said sincerely, "It was all thanks to Martial Uncle Liu's righteous assistance that we were able to save Xue 'er by sending that devil to the Western Paradise with one sword strike. If we had been a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Little Nephew will never forget this great kindness of yours. In the future, I will be at your beck and call. I will not even frown. " Even with his intelligence, he could clearly see that Liu Mujian did not take the risk to save Nangong Xue. Liu Mujian simply wanted to take the credit for killing the Hierarch of the Devil Cult. But it was true that he had saved Nangong Xue's life. In the past, he would have mocked and ridiculed Liu Mujian, but right now he was deeply moved and could not stop thanking him.
Liu Mujian smiled and said, "Young Hero Lu, you don't have to overpraise me. Niece Nangong is Martial Brother Meng's outstanding disciple. I was just doing my duty. In the future, we will have many opportunities to help each other! " Lu Qian knew that Liu Mujian was hinting that he wanted to cooperate with him to seize power in the Wulin world. This was exactly what he wanted, so he smiled and did not say anything.
Meng Anying glanced at Jiang Liechen's body and said, "How do we deal with this devil? He has been practicing the devil's skill for a long time, I am afraid he really has a bit of the devil's way. Even after several attempts, he did not die completely. I don't know what happened this time. "
Lu Qian hatefully said, "If it were up to me, everybody should step forward and chop this devil's body into pieces. Only then will we be clean." He hated Jiang Liechen for trying to harm Nangong Xue, so his idea was particularly vicious. Everybody was afraid that Jiang Liechen would 'come back from the dead' again, but at the same time, they had already suffered enough humiliation since entering the Hall. This idea could vent their anger, so there were quite a few people who agreed. But there were also some people who remembered Lu Qian's servile face just now. In front of others, he bowed and bent his knees, but behind others, he advocated whipping Jiang Liechen's body to vent his anger.
Li Yijie stepped out of the crowd and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Noble Consort Yun has ordered us to see Jiang Liechen's body if he is alive, and to see his body if he is dead. There are still officers and men waiting outside. I have promised her that I will bring Jiang Liechen's body for her to dispose of. "
Everybody sighed. Lu Qian angrily said, "That devil nearly killed Xueer, how can we let him off so easily?" With a cold laugh Meng Anying said, "What kind of ability is it to vent your anger on a corpse? If you are really worried about Xueer, why didn't you fight him with your life just now? You only know how to act subservient in front of this devil, our decent school's face has been thrown away by you! "
Lu Qian was furious, but the fact was, everybody had seen it with their own eyes, there was no way they could argue. Somebody laughed and said, "Nangong Shimei said that when a woman gets angry, she is the most frightening. I think Jiang Demon Head has provoked Noble Consort Yun. Even if he goes to hell, he will be tortured by her until he hovers between life and death." "In that case, it's better if he doesn't come back to life."
Li Yijie saw that although the crowd had some objections, the majority still agreed with his proposal. Thereupon he stepped forward first, wanting to pull Jiang Liechen up from the ground. His hand was only halfway there when suddenly a burst of white light exploded between the two of them. It was so fast that Li Yijie was caught off guard. Unexpectedly he was bounced back several steps before he was able to stand firm. "Ah!" he exclaimed in surprise. He wondered what kind of divine skill Jiang Liechen had practiced to protect his body that even after his death, nobody was able to get close to him. While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the people behind him cry out in alarm, "Afterimage Sword!" The cries rose and fell one after another.
Li Yijie looked up and saw that after the white light dissipated, a young girl dressed in green was standing in front of Jiang Liechen. Her face was covered with a layer of black veil, making it difficult to see her true appearance. But judging from her posture and posture, she was at most ten years old. She was holding a silver-white long sword in her hand, which was slanted in front of her, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground. Her eyes were arrogant as she stared at the crowd without any fear.
Li Yijie was still wondering where this young girl had come from when he heard the people behind him cry out in alarm, "It's you!" "Ah! How could it be her? "" This demoness still dares to come and throw away her life! " They all seemed to recognize this young girl, and there was a deep enmity between them. They really didn't understand how this weak little girl could provoke so many people's anger. He quietly asked, "What's going on? Who is she? "
"Shixiong," Sha Qi replied in a low voice, "She is the demoness I mentioned to you before, the one who wields a sword and attacks people." Li Yijie cried out in alarm, "Then … the sword in her hand, is it really the Afterimage Sword?" "Absolutely," Sha Qi replied.
The young girl's eyes were full of disdain. She raised the Afterimage Sword and brandished it in front of her, while shouting, "All of you withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw! "Every time she shouted, she brandished her sword. Wherever the tip of the sword went, a crescent-shaped white ray appeared, exactly the same as the one that shook Li Yijie a moment ago.
Not only the ray of light was frightening, but there was also a streak of cold sword aura pressing down on their faces. Li Yijie, Lu Qian, and the others, who were standing in the front row, raised their swords to block. These people's martial art skill could be considered high, yet they were still unable to withstand these several streaks of sword aura. Involuntarily they were forced to withdraw. As the front row withdrew, the back row also had no choice but to withdraw. In a split second they put some distance between them and the young girl.
"Demoness," a disciple shouted, "We were worried that we would not be able to find you, but you appeared first. That's great! The enmity of the Divine Fist School, we will settle it with you. "The young girl coldly said," You have all been defeated by me, do you think I am afraid of you? "Another disciple said," You are only relying on the Afterimage Sword, what is there to be proud of? If you have guts, fight us with real swords and real spears. If I lose to you, a silly little girl, I will cut my own throat on the spot! "
The young girl said, "I have not exchanged any martial art skills with you, as long as I have won, that's enough. Why do you care about real martial art skills? If you have guts, snatch the sword from my hand, then we can talk! "
The disciples were already filled with anger, seeing her arrogant behavior, they all rubbed their fists and were ready to attack her. Li Yijie suddenly remembered that his Shifu had entrusted him with the task of finding the Devil Cult's secret martial art manual in the midst of the chaos. But just now he and Nangong Xue were observing from the side, guarding against the explosives, and had completely forgotten about this matter. Since the secret manual was snatched by this young girl, it would be much more convenient to ask her directly. He said, "Our Huashan Pai has a secret manual, and now it is in your hands, isn't it?" "So what if it is?" the young girl said. Li Yijie spread out his hands and said, "Give it to me."
The young girl laughed coldly and said, "Are you trying to scare a little girl like this? What a pity, I am not a little girl who has not seen the world. As a righteous person, you want to ask a demoness like me for a secret manual of the Devil Cult, aren't you ashamed? "
Li Yijie really did want to scare her, but although this young girl was young, her intelligence was not the least bit small. She did not fall into his trap. After all, it was not appropriate to ask her in front of so many people. The only thing he could do now was to capture her and bring her back to Huashan for interrogation. Along the way, he had to ensure her safety. If necessary, he would have no choice but to use his Meng Zhu status. Changing his tone, he said, "I don't care what your status is in here, but the Devil Cult has been destroyed, you must not be an accomplice to the villain. If you surrender now, you might be able to ask for leniency. "
The young girl said, "You think you are qualified to deal with me? Whether the Sacrifice Shadow Cult is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me, I don't care. But I won't allow you to harm him! "
Someone among the crowd of heroes laughed coldly and said, "The little witch is quite loyal, we'll immediately send you down to accompany him." "This little witch's figure is not bad, I wonder what kind of spring scenery it will be after she takes off her veil." "San Di! This demoness has injured our Shifu, this enmity must be avenged. Why are you still lusting after her? "
"Little Miss," Liu Mujian said, "Even if there are survivors of the Devil Cult, they would have already fled for their lives. Unexpectedly you dare to come back; your courage is commendable. What relationship do you have with the Hierarch Jiang? "
As soon as this question was asked, the clamor around gradually subsided. Everybody was very curious about this matter, they wanted to hear how she would answer. Suddenly the young girl's eyes showed a kind of sweet and bashful expression of a little girl. She quietly cast a glance toward Jiang Liechen. Seeing that he was still unconscious and could not hear her, she seemed to be relieved. She turned her head and said, "I am his woman." Her eyes were full of happiness, as if she was smiling at the flowers all over the mountain.
This time it could be said that her words had shocked everybody. When Jiang Liechen was the Young Master, his reputation in Jianghu was already very bad. But he had never been fond of women. Other than the Devil Cult's Miss Chu Menglin, nobody had heard that he was close to any other woman. Now that he was in a life and death situation, suddenly someone stepped forward to protect him, and even claimed to be his woman. But it was a little girl. This kind of strange thing was indeed hard to comprehend.
Li Yijie knitted his brows and said, "Um … Miss, don't be stupid. Don't be deceived by Jiang Liechen. At most he is using you, toying with your feelings. That Afterimage Sword is an evil sword that harms people. It contains demonic nature. If you use it too much, it will harm your body. You'd better … "
With a cold laugh the young girl said, "Aren't you joking? You can't beat me, you can't snatch the Afterimage Sword, so you want to trick me into putting it down and letting me be slaughtered? I am not that stupid! And I won't let you talk nonsense. He … he did not play with me. He doesn't even know me. It is my one-sided love for him. I will love him for the rest of my life. Even if he hates me, even if he dislikes me, I will never betray him. Ever since I met him, I have been living for him. "Toward the latter part of her speech, she once again displayed her bashful and seductive manner.
With the enemy before them, she suddenly expressed her love for Jiang Liechen as if nobody else was present. The crowd of heroes did not know whether to laugh or cry. They did not know whether they should say she was naive, or arrogant. But right now her entire body was brimming with happiness. Her soft and gentle voice indeed showed her innocence that was commensurate with her age.
Li Yijie said, "Jiang Liechen treats people badly, that is a common occurrence. But as soon as he treats people well, he will have a different purpose. There used to be a Miss who was only a few years older than you … "
The young girl shouted, "Shut up! Li Yijie, if you have the leisure to inquire about these orioles and swallows' private affairs, you might as well put all your effort into practicing martial art. Don't disgrace your Wulin Meng Zhu status! Wait until you are qualified to teach a good disciple, then you can come back and make comments about others. The ones who should get lost are you all, get out of my way! "While speaking, she raised her arm. What she brandished was not the Afterimage Sword, but a small cylinder. Seeing this strange object, everybody guessed that it must be a formidable secret projectile. One after another they raised their weapons to protect their faces.
Who would have thought that when the cylinder reached the air, it exploded. A cloud of smoke spread out, dyeing everything as far as the eye could see into a vast expanse of pale white. Everybody took several breaths, but did not feel anything unusual. After confirming that it was not poison, they raised their hands and waved them around in front of their eyes, trying to disperse the cloud of smoke. But this cloud of smoke seemed to have a tangible substance, it was extremely sticky and extremely thick. As soon as they tore open a cloud of smoke, another cloud of smoke would fill it.
