Li Yijie was thinking hard about how to deal with Jiang Liechen. Nangong Xue said, "Shouzhen Shixiong, you … how do you know me?" Before Shouzhen could answer, a disciple behind him quickened his pace and said with a smile, "Nangong Shimei is very famous, who doesn't know you? He has already told the world about your relationship with Qingtian Village's Master Lu. This is equivalent to leaving a mark … "Shouzhen shouted," Shouzhen! Don't talk nonsense! "Nangong Xue was so angry that her nose was crooked. In her heart, she cursed Lu Qian as a grandson.
In a short while, they arrived at the front of the hall. They saw a group of monks standing on the field with weapons in their hands. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue struggled to move forward in the crowd. When the monks heard Shouzhen say that Li Yijie was the Wulin Alliance's Chancellor, they all made way for him.
Li Yijie walked to the front of the group and bowed to Reverend Tong Zhi first. Then he was overcome with grief and said, "Reverend, Reverend Tongchan … has he really passed away?"
Tong Zhi's resolute face was also filled with grief. He said, "That's right. We must kill that devil with our own hands and avenge Fangzhang Shixiong! Chancellor Li, that witch's' Residual Shadow Sword 'is very ruthless. Once she makes a move, it has the power to destroy heaven and earth. Who dares to face it head-on? Do you have a way to deal with it? "
He was a senior monk who once presided over the Great Assembly of Heroes. He saw with his own eyes Li Yijie display his marvelous martial arts skills and defeat his opponents one by one to sit on the Wulin Alliance's seat. He didn't see how the Cult of Sacrifice was annihilated, but he thought that Li Yijie was the one who led them and succeeded in destroying the bandit's lair that had been occupied for more than ten years. His contribution couldn't be ignored. Therefore, he regarded Li Yijie as a capable person. He thought that with his help, even a thousand-jin heavy task would be easy.
Li Yijie gripped his sword tightly and said hatefully, "That's right! I … will do my best! "
Cheng Jiaxuan leaned against the door frame, holding the Residual Shadow Sword with both hands, not daring to slack off. Seeing a gap suddenly appear in the crowd that was like an iron wall, and the monks also let out surprised exclamations of praise, they knew that other reinforcements had arrived. Looking at this formation, their background was not small.
But thinking that Dashi Chan was already dead, the rest of the people in the Temple were not enough to withstand the afterimage sword's strike, there was no need to worry about it. Seeing Li Yijie standing arrogantly in front of him, his heart was filled with anger. He said angrily, "Li Yijie, it's you again? You're bored out of your mind. You're always chasing after others, aren't you? Didn't I tell you to learn how to teach your disciples? "
When Li Yijie heard her mention the word "disciple" for the second time, he was so angry that he didn't think much about it. He casually replied, "What does it have to do with you whether I teach my disciples or not? As expected of a demoness like you. You won't change no matter what. After injuring the Sect Masters of the various large sects, you won't let Grandmaster Tongchan off either. Don't think that just because you're a woman, I won't dare to do anything to you. Even if I kill you today, I'll be enforcing justice on behalf of the Heaven, avenging those who died unjustly. "
Cheng Jiaxuan bit her lip hard; her heart was filled with hatred. Dashi Chan was also an elder whom she respected and loved very much. She felt the same grief toward his desperate death. But Li Yijie's tone made it clear that he believed that she was the heartless murderer, and he was here to accuse her.
No matter how much hatred she had, she was not a demon who killed people as her second nature. "You're accusing me wrongly," she said angrily, "I didn't kill Dashi Chan. He was a good man! Dashi Chan passed away and became a Buddha, what does it have to do with me? Do you, Li Yijie, dare to swear to the Heaven that you've never seen a dead person? Do you think that if there's a corpse lying on the ground, and you happen to be there, that person must be killed by you? I'm just sending Dashi Chan to his death. "
Li Yijie let out a cold laugh and took several steps forward. Cheng Jiaxuan held the Residual Image Sword in front of her and watched his movements closely. She was waiting for him to make a move so that she could immediately cut him down with the sword.
Li Yijie looked her over from head to toe. He saw that her thin body was trembling uncontrollably, her eyes were slightly flustered, and there were a few bruises on her forehead. The joints on the back of her hand that held the Residual Image Sword were clearly protruding. He understood that she had never been in a big situation and was afraid in this situation. However, she used the Residual Image Sword as the only thing she could rely on. She was still a simple girl by nature. He didn't know who ordered her to be used as a tool to commit murder. She was indeed different from experienced killers like Menglin.
"I know it wasn't you. You can't kill Dashi Chan," he said indifferently. "It must have been Jiang Liechen who did it. You saved him from our hands, so you're his most loyal subordinate. You've done a great service this time, haven't you? Don't protect your master anymore. He's in this room, isn't he? Tell him to come out. If he's still a man, tell him to come out! Come out and settle this once and for all! The problem can't be solved just by hiding. Otherwise, we'll just be wasting time here. It's not that we can't compete in perseverance, but if you can't eat a grain of rice or drink a mouthful of water, how many days can you last? "
Seeing that Cheng Jiaxuan still didn't respond, he planned to slowly approach her and take the Residual Image Sword when she wasn't paying attention. Then, he wouldn't have to be threatened by her anymore. As he diverted her attention, he deliberately shouted, "Jiang Liechen, I know you can hear me. I also know you're in there. What kind of hero are you to let a woman block for you? I, Li Yijie, am right here. All of your hatred, come at me! I'm the only one you're targeting! Why do you have to involve Dashi Chan? I'm Li Yijie, the one who forced you to kill your closest brother, An Yesun. Don't you hate me? Come out! "
Cheng Jiaxuan's entire body tensed up. Although her consciousness was a bit hazy, Li Yijie's words were still clearly transmitted to her mind. It was only after a while that she realized what he was saying. Hearing Li Yijie admit his fault, she thought, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Why do you have to force him like this? "
In her daze, Li Yijie had already walked in front of her. She couldn't help but cry out, "You! Don't come over! Back off! Go back, go back! If you dare take another step forward, I won't be polite to you! I … I … "She turned her gaze back with some fear and looked into the hall. Then, she immediately turned her gaze back to Li Yijie.
Li Yijie sneered, "You won't be polite to me? I'm going to take another step forward. Not just one step, I'm going to take ten steps, eight steps, until I'm in front of Jiang Liechen. I'd like to see what you can do to me. "While speaking, her feet didn't stop.
Cheng Jiaxuan angrily said, "Fine, you asked for it!" She raised her hand and fiercely waved her sword. A ray of sword light streaked across in front of her eyes. But she had been standing with both hands holding her sword. Now that she was waving her sword in desperation, she couldn't get out of this position. Her injured right arm was immediately affected. Her shoulder joint was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to break. Waves of soreness and pain rolled over her like waves of the sea. The first wave of pain almost made her faint on the spot. She remembered the advice she had received before she passed out. For the next few days, she must not use any strength in her right arm. Otherwise, it would be difficult to set the broken bone, and her arm could be considered crippled.
But the current situation was difficult. If she didn't use the 'Afterimage Sword' to defend herself, there was no other way. After weighing the pros and cons, she made a decision. Even if she lost her right arm, she still had to protect Jiang Liechen. Biting her lip, she strenuously raised the 'Afterimage Sword' and repeatedly waved it in front of her. At the same time, she endured the constant tearing pain in her arm.
Li Yijie saw her brandishing her sword for the first time. In his fury, he didn't think twice and raised his sword to block. However, when the usually incomparably tyrannical sword energy collided with the tip of his sword, unexpectedly it bounced back and cut off a corner of the side hall's eaves. He couldn't help but stare blankly. Although anger can stimulate ten times the normal potential, he always felt that his internal energy was not that profound.
Many of the monks watching from the sidelines had personally fought against this sword aura, so they knew its fierceness very well. Seeing Li Yijie easily deflected it, they thought his martial arts were profound and unfathomable. Praises such as "So formidable!" and "The Alliance Head is indeed outstanding" rose from all around.
When Cheng Jiaxuan brandished his sword again, the monks were all proficient in martial arts. Even Tong Zhi, who was a highly skilled martial art master, could see that this time the sword energy was very weak. Li Yijie easily deflected it and moved forward. When the sword energy hit the eaves, it didn't even break a single tile. It only stirred up a few small pieces of gravel. He continuously brandished his sword, each move weaker than the last. The crowd's exclamations gradually subsided. Some of the younger disciples even made some disdainful hisses. They all thought that Cheng Jiaxuan had taken a fancy to Li Yijie and was deliberately yielding to him.
By this time, Li Yijie was already standing in front of the hall's door, facing Cheng Jiaxuan. The sword in his hand was pressed against her throat. He shouted, "Withdraw your sword!" Cheng Jiaxuan angrily glared at him. He thought that if he thought that he was a witch, he wouldn't show any mercy. Now that he really didn't want to die, he had no choice but to release his sword. The 'Afterimage Sword' sank into the stone next to his feet. As soon as he lost his sword, he immediately felt his entire body was empty, without anything to rely on. At the same time, his right arm lost all feeling.
The tip of Li Yijie's sword moved slightly in a circle. As soon as it moved away from her throat, it moved up to grab a corner of her veil. "Why are you wearing a veil?" he asked in a low voice. As soon as the tip of the sword was pointed at the bridge of her nose, she felt a kind of numbness and itchiness spreading around her eyes, as if millions of fine needles were pricking her eyes. Cheng Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Whether I wear a veil or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"What?" Li Yijie said, "Do you also have a conscience? Do you know that your conduct cannot be seen by other people? Therefore, you wear a veil, thinking that by not being able to see you, you can conceal your crime? Today I am going to let you see the light, to see how filthy your heart is, sinking in the darkness, and also let everybody see your true face. "
In the Palace, Cheng Jiaxuan was not very familiar with him, but occasionally when he was in a good mood, they would see each other and nod their heads. However, Li Yijie was always able to recognize her. "As soon as the veil is removed, she will definitely know that I am Noble Consort Yun's maid. Although he loved Niangniang dearly, he was not a stupid person; he would realize that she was the one who ordered him to do all this, and then all the conspiracy would be as clear as day. That … that won't do! "Suddenly her eyes flashed with extreme fear." No … don't! "she called out. Ignoring the tip of the sword touching her skin, she quickly leaned her head to the side to evade.
Although Li Yijie was able to control the sword in his hand freely, he was unable to withstand her evasive maneuver. Caught unprepared, the sword still cut her face. The wound was not deep, but blood was still seeping out.
Li Yijie said in his heart, "Now is not the time to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex, I must harden my heart." With a straight face he said, "Don't want? Are you going to say 'don't want'? " Cheng Jiaxuan repeatedly nodded her head. Sobbing, she said, "Yes … yes … Li … Alliance Head Li … I beg you …"
Li Yijie's heart softened, but immediately he hardened his heart and said, "You beg me not to? The Sect Leaders of the major Sects are begging you not to bully our sect, my Shifu is begging you not to snatch the secret manual, everybody is begging you not to protect the Hierarch of the Devil Cult. How are you going to answer them? If you don't want them, do you think I must listen to you? " She raised the tip of her sword again and hooked it on the corner of Cheng Jiaxuan's veil. She was about to stab upward when suddenly she felt a strong force coming from the side, like a mountain torrent crashing down on her face, as if she was going to be crushed into mud.
Li Yijie was not able to stand steadily, she leaped backward half way, pulling some distance away from the main door. She saw Jiang Liechen was standing by Cheng Jiaxuan's side, wearing a black satin chang pao, with a mask on his face. He looked exactly the same as before. Her fingertip was still in the same arc as before. She waited until Cheng Jiaxuan steadied herself before she slowly withdrew her power. She walked out from the hidden door, with a cold and arrogant smile on her face she said, "What are you talking about outside? It's so noisy. Li Yijie, you are really the most troublesome dog that your master has ever seen! "While speaking, she seemed to have regained her usual imposing manner.
A Shaolin Temple monk called out, "Sure enough, it is you, the haunting devil head! Did you kill our Abbot? "" That's right, "Jiang Liechen said," I killed him. You want your master to run amuck in Jianghu, killing and seizing people's lives? What's the big deal about killing one or two people? " As Cheng Jiaxuan heard him admit to it, he completely disregarded his previous painstaking effort to defend himself. "No!" He said, "Obviously you did not kill him, why don't you explain yourself?" Jiang Liechen said indifferently, "If your master says I did, who would dare to say otherwise?"
