Lu Qian smiled and said, "Alliance Master Li is still the most reasonable one, you've put two hats on me … Ha, of course I'm not. Take it, I'm happy to be idle." Li Yijie said, "Thank you very much."
Nangong Xue's heart was filled with grief, she thought, "Didn't you see how rude he was to me just now? You only think about your great cause … Although the world's affairs are more important, you shouldn't treat me like this … If you really care about me, you should comfort me at the right time, not just get jealous and leave it at that! "Her hands were still stubbornly gripping the sword hilt, she was unwilling to let go.
Li Yijie was impatient at first, but then he said, "Xueer, be good, be obedient, don't throw a tantrum." Nangong Xue's eyes were startled, at first all she saw in his eyes was disgust. She had always been sensitive, she was confident that she was not mistaken, so this Wulin Alliance Master was angry because of her martial sister's disregard for the big picture. Because in everyone's eyes she was a steady girl, she had to endure all kinds of humiliation, she couldn't show even the slightest bit of emotion. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, but she didn't want to show it in front of Li Yijie, so she let go of the sword hilt.
Li Yijie carried his sword and walked to the front of the bell, he first used his hand to lightly wipe the blade of the bell. He didn't need to touch the bell, but he could already feel a cold chill. He was delighted, he carefully measured the size of the bell, his right foot slowly slid back a step, his shoulder lowered slightly, and his strength flowed into his arm. He suddenly raised his hand and swung his sword. A white ray of sword light flashed on the copper yellow bell, cutting off a piece of the bell's top, which fell to the ground. The top was narrow and the bottom was wide, just like a broken straw hat.
Lu Qian was startled, but then he laughed and said, "Alliance Master Li, why do you look like a girl, with only this little strength? Don't make people laugh! If I let you chop the bell piece by piece, who knows how long it'll take? I'm afraid that Jiang Liechen has already found all the Seven Evils and become the Supreme Martial Artist. His children would be crawling all over the ground, but you're still here chopping the bell, sweating profusely … Haha … How funny! "
Although Nangong Xue and Li Yijie were at loggerheads, in her heart, Nangong Xue had always treated him as the person she loved the most. Even if they quarreled for a bit, it was just like a fight between teeth and tongues. After a period of silence, both sides naturally recovered. In the end, she didn't want him to be mocked by outsiders. She said, "What do you know? What was so difficult about that set of starry sky technique? However, the surface of the bell was coated with poison. If he swung his sword a few times to break it, he would also be poisoned if he was hit by the flying fragments. Cutting them into pieces like Senior Martial Brother's way is a little slow, but it can ensure safety. "
"Aiyo," Lu Qian said in his heart, "That's not bad, I forgot about that." But he did not want to lose face, he said, "Naturally. But that's something that people with poor martial arts need to worry about. If it were me, with a flying sword, the broken fragments would accurately avoid each person's body. This is what it means to have a good grasp of the situation. "
"Humph," Nangong Xue snorted coldly, she said in her heart, "It's my fault. I've broken the taboo again. Why should I pay attention to him? I've made him nag nonstop. That's so annoying. " Her eyes were fixed on Li Yijie's figure as he hacked at the large bell. Gradually, Lu Qian, who was standing to the side, completely faded away. In her eyes, there was only that valiant martial brother of hers.
Between the two of them, one was full of expectation, the other was full of disdain. But this did not hinder Li Yijie at all. Every time a piece of brick fell on the ground, he would immediately swing his sword and sweep it to the side. Finally, only the bottom of the large bell was left in front of him. "Alright, let's go!" Li Yijie said. He took the lead and dashed across the small bridge. Lu Qian reached out to help Nangong Xue, but she fiercely flung his hand away. With a sigh, she followed closely behind him. The small bridge was not long. The three of them crossed it in a short while and stood in front of the Chengtian palace gate.
The two rows of guards at the gate had very strange expressions on their faces. It was as if they had encountered the funniest joke in a hundred years, but they were desperately trying to hold it in. Every one of them was holding it in until their faces were red and the muscles on their faces could not stop twitching. When they saw Li Yijie and the others, although they were trying their best to be serious, there were still some smiles on their faces. They looked like friendly people, instead, they looked like servants who were welcoming guests at a banquet.
Lu Qian sighed and laughed softly, "Luckily the Five Venoms disciples are lazy and did not set up their stronghold at the peak. Otherwise, if we had to climb up in one go, we'd be exhausted." Nangong Xue rolled her eyes at him, she thought, "I haven't said anything yet, and you're already complaining about being tired?"
Li Yijie coldly sized up the Taoist temple, he said, "This is their base, isn't it? Tell Ji Qian to read it out loud. "One of them asked curiously," You're that Wulin Alliance Leader … Li … something Yijie? Weren't you poisoned? Why are you poisoned? We're clearly … clearly … "
Li Yijie sneered, "Clearly what? If you were really sincere in sending the antidote, you should have arrived by now. Why are you so surprised? There's only one explanation, Ji Qian 'nian was not sincere in making an agreement with us! She dealt with it. If we didn't have a chance encounter, in a few days, the poison would have flared up and we would have become corpses. That would have been exactly what she wanted! "
The disciple shouted, "How dare you! So what if you're the Wulin Alliance Leader? Is our Hierarch's maiden name for a boor like you to casually call her by? The Hierarch wants to destroy the righteous sect's spirit. Delaying it for a few days will only make your whole body sore and weak, unable to use your internal energy. You won't die anyway! The person who sent the antidote hasn't left yet, where did you get it? "
Li Yijie said, "This has nothing to do with you. The Heavens protect the righteous path and let us turn danger into safety in time. " Another disciple was quick-witted and said, "Since you've got the antidote, you've always flaunted your righteousness. I don't think you'll abandon your companions who are wailing. Since you can stand here today, those righteous old fellows should have recovered by now. Why are you still looking for our Hierarch? She's very busy, we can't even see her. Forgive us for not seeing you! "
Li Yijie sneered, "You can make your subordinates agree. It seems that your Hierarch is indeed very busy, but I don't know what she's busy with. You're right about one thing. I'm not here for the antidote. I'm here for something else … "He wanted to test these people and see how they would react. Then, he would act according to the situation. He said word by word, "It's the 'Broken — Love — Death'. Please give her to us for safekeeping. "
The disciple said, "Your grandmother, what Broken Love — Broken Soul? We've only heard of the Broken Soul Tear, but that disappeared six years ago. What do you want from our Hierarch?"
This answer was within Li Yijie's expectations. The secret of the Seven Evils was very important. Perhaps because of Mu Qingyan's instructions, it could only be passed down by the Hierarch. The lowly subordinates naturally didn't have the chance to know. Seeing the blank expressions on everyone's faces, it didn't seem like they were faking it. He was even more certain of his guess. Silently thinking, he nodded and said, "It's good that you don't understand. I can understand your desire to protect your master, but this matter has nothing to do with you. There's no need to throw your lives away. I don't want to fight with you either. You'd better leave. "
Lu Qian swayed a few steps and said with a smile, "Alliance Head Li is the Alliance Head of our Central Plains' Wulin. He's an important figure with a high position. You brothers can't be compared to him. You can't see the Hierarch, but Alliance Head Li has this privilege. The Hierarch said, 'No matter when or where, Alliance Head Li must see me. You must inform me as soon as possible. There can't be any delays.' What, didn't she warn you? Oh, it's no wonder. The Hierarch is too busy and didn't have time to tell you. As a close friend of hers, I was there at the time. I can be a witness. "
Li Yijie listened to him lie without blushing. He didn't know why, but he felt a bit embarrassed. He then heard him say, "You must find it strange. Everyone knows that the Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder's poison is extremely difficult to deal with. Making the antidote is even more difficult. However, the person who delivered the antidote clearly hasn't left yet. This illness isn't something that can be cured by any random doctor on the streets. If the doctor can write a prescription, you'll suffer a great loss. But Alliance Head Li didn't take the antidote, yet he was able to recover on his own. Isn't this strange? "
The several disciples followed his words and nodded, saying, "Strange, strange." "Laozi has lived for so long, but I've never seen such a strange thing."
Lu Qian said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. This Alliance Master Li was not an ordinary person. He … was a Daoist expert. He had achieved some success in his cultivation. Not only could he predict the future, his magic power was also very astonishing. He only needed to mumble a series of incantations, and he could make the dead become alive, and the living become dead. With just one thought, he can easily dissolve the poison that has already invaded the heart. With magic power, what can't he do? If he wants you to turn into stone, you have to obediently turn into stone. "
Most of the disciples didn't believe him, so they thought it was fun. Few of them were timid. They laughed and said, "Let's wait until you turn into stone first, then we'll believe you." Lu Qian said, "My aptitude is poor. I've only managed to learn ten or twenty percent of Alliance Head Li's magic. Today, I'll be so bold as to embarrass myself here. I'll perform … turning a rock into a bird." The disciples roared with laughter. They all said, "Rock into a bird? What kind of trick is that? "
Lu Qian said, "A gentleman never forces others to do something against their will. I know you won't understand, so I'll make it short and as simple as possible. All kinds of magic in the world have similarities. Buddhism and Taoism are of the same origin. It's enough to draw inferences about other things from one example. Alliance Head Li's magic is the same. He can turn a rock into a bird. In other words, he can turn a bird into a rock. Humans and birds are both living things. There's not much difference between them. Naturally, it can be changed like this. If you believe me, then let's all go our separate ways. Don't make things difficult for anyone else. If you don't believe me, wait until you've turned into stone. Then you'll have to believe me. But by then, it'll be too late. "
A disciple said, "Why don't you give it a try? We've seen a lot of witches and swindlers. We've heard a lot of unfathomable things. If we really talk about it, we won't be much worse than you. But you said that a person with flesh and blood can turn into a rock out of thin air. I really don't believe you. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't speak nonsense. "
Lu Qian sighed, "Alright, I'll give you a demonstration. Ay, people these days are really pitiful. You give him good advice, but he turns a deaf ear to it. It's as if you're plotting to harm him. He'll wait until he's walked down the wrong path. He won't turn back until he's bruised and bleeding. What can you do to him? "When he said this, his expression seemed to be really bitter. As he turned toward the small path, he said, "Wait, I'll go pick up a rock. I'll explain it to you later."
The disciples' faces were full of excitement. They couldn't stop whispering to each other. Nangong Xue's face was gloomy. He whispered, "Apprentice Brother, this … will this work? That's nonsense! Why don't we use force … "Li Yijie said," He's never been someone who doesn't know the severity of the situation. I also thought that using force would be better than swindling. "Nangong Xue said," That's right. Fighting three people is fighting, fighting thirty people is also fighting. If this group of people is as strong as what we saw before, it's not like we can't deal with them. "The two of them made up their minds and prepared to take out their weapons.
Li Yijie's hand had just touched the hilt of his sword when he suddenly saw the door of the Taoist temple open a crack. A figure squeezed out from the crack and ran forward with her head lowered. The disciples all looked at her in astonishment, but no one tried to stop her. When she got closer, they saw that she was a thin and weak girl. Her hair was disheveled, as if she had just experienced the most painful thing in the world. She was crying so hard that her whole body was shaking. From her intermittent sobs, they could really hear the sound of her heart breaking.
Her eyes were first blurred by her tears, then blocked by her hair. She couldn't see anything. All she could do was run straight toward Li Yijie. It was as if she didn't see anyone standing in front of her. Li Yijie hurriedly raised his arms and placed them on her shoulders. Only then did he manage to stop her.
