Just as he was about to sit down cross-legged, a deafening shout came from the side of the stone door, "Death Slash! Death Slash! " A large group of people surged in from the hole that Jiang Jianchen had created last time. They continuously rushed into the palace. With a quick glance, almost all of the sects that had been digging in the village had arrived.
They did not even have time to change their clothes, some of them even had mud on their faces. After receiving the news, they immediately rushed into the secret passage in the Zhao Ancestral Temple, leaving everything else behind for fear that they would not make it in time. He thought to himself that he was smart. There was no lack of experts among these people. If he had mixed in, he definitely would not have been able to get in front.
On the way to the Hall of the Dead, all the sects suffered losses. This was the result of several private fights in order to eliminate competitors as much as possible. Since he was able to become the chief of Qingtian Village, his martial arts were definitely not bad. He was just afraid that the group of weaklings would temporarily form an alliance to deal with him when they saw that they were no match for him. As the saying goes, a good man can't fight against many people. This was the same principle as a thousand-mile dike collapsing because of an ant's nest.
When the crowd saw him, they were all stunned. They had risked their lives to rush in, encountering several traps and almost losing their heads. Unexpectedly, when they finally reached the Hall of the Dead, they saw another person standing at the end. When they rushed into the secret passage, no one saw him. Could it be that his speed was so fast that even gods and ghosts could not predict it?
Glancing around at the group of Yellow Mountain Sect disciples who had collapsed, they thought that they were all killed by Lu Qian. They were both surprised and happy. They were happy that a group of competitors had been killed by him. Then, there would be one less group to fight with, and their chances of winning would be higher. They were surprised that other than Liu Mujian, there was almost no trace of blood on the others. It was said that to "kill without spilling blood" required extremely high internal energy and swordsmanship. Since he could be so calm after killing people, the next person he would look for would probably be them. For a moment, the expressions on both sides were uncertain, each with their own thoughts, and they could not help but stare at each other.
Finally, Lu Qian spoke first. He smiled and cupped his hands, "Hello, heroes." His expression was calm, without the slightest killing intent. However, it was often said that the more serious the crime, the more hidden it would be. Thus, no one dared to lower their guard. A middle-aged man from the Snow Mountain Sect replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Another old man from the Tiantai Sect shouted, "Lu Qian, no matter how many identities you have, I know that you are a traitor of the Kunlun Sect. Brother He is an old friend of mine. You rebelled against your superiors and killed your Martial Uncle. Your crimes are unforgivable. The extermination of evil on the summit of Kunlun was truly satisfying! I just didn't expect … "
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Who would have thought that I would be resurrected? The misunderstanding back then was all because of a scoundrel's plot. Fortunately, my life was not meant to end, and I was able to escape from death. " After so many years, the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect had died, and he had personally dealt with Liang Yue to avenge this grudge. Therefore, when he mentioned the past, he could calmly laugh it off.
Cheng Jiaxuan was the best at using someone else's might to intimidate others, so he shouted first, "Hey, since you can only remember your former identity, you should know that he was once the Leader of the Qing Tian Village, the biggest gang in the Jianghu. How dare you be so disrespectful?"
The old man sneered and said, "You really can't change a dog's habit. As a bandit leader, the more famous you are, the heavier your sins are. What's there to be proud of? The Qing Tian Village has committed so many evil deeds, even more than the Demonic Sect. You should be glad that you were destroyed early. I think you are a disgrace to the Kunlun Sect! I really don't think Brother He is worthy. How could he accept such a traitor like you! "
Lu Qian's expression was calm, and he smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, whether or not I am proud of my deeds is up to me to decide. You are being too nosy. I know you hate me for being an unfilial disciple, and you want to kill me to avenge your old friend … "The old man sneered and said," At least you have some self-awareness. "
Lu Qian smiled and said, "What's the point of this? Old Senior, I am telling you the truth, don't mind. Even if you despise my character, you and I are essentially the same. The more you scold me, the more you are scolding yourself. You are an old man, so you should act like an old man and live out your remaining years in peace. Don't be angry and harm your body. I am not the one who will suffer. "The old man said angrily," Nonsense! This old man is the 'Eagle of Tiantai', how can I be the same as a traitor like you? "
Lu Qian shook his head and clicked his tongue. He shook his finger and said, "I told you not to scold me. Why didn't you listen? Alas, when you are old, you are as hard to teach as a child. Speaking of the word 'traitor', that is just right. May I ask, where is this place? In order to prevent you from feeling ashamed, I will answer on your behalf. This is the secret mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty's Emperor Taizu's younger brother, Prince He Shuo Zhuang. Is digging up someone's ancestral grave despicable? What about entering the grave privately? It doesn't seem to be much different, right? What is the point of taking away someone's treasure? To put it bluntly, the tomb raider was nothing more than a grave robber. Everyone knows that there is a good treasure in the Hall of the Dead called 'Death Seeking Chop'. It is one of the seven fiendish treasures and has the ability to turn the world upside down. I might as well be honest. I am a shameless person who indulges in wild fantasies all day long. I want to dominate the world and be the only one in the world. That is why I am here to steal the 'Death Seeking Chop'. Then, shouldn't all the heroes who have done the same as me receive the same evaluation as me? "
Everyone heard him speak frankly and immediately scolded themselves. Although they did not understand why he was so honest, they still felt good. They did not expect him to go around in circles and put the blame on everyone. At this moment, they were standing face to face with him in the Hall of the Dead. It would not be easy to defend themselves.
The man from the Snow Mountain Sect said coldly, "I have long heard of Mister Lu's eloquence. Seeing you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation. But with just a mouth and a tongue, you can't be considered a great talent. We are here in the same situation but with different goals. You should know that we are not here for the 'Death Seeking Chop' itself … "
Lu Qian smiled and said, "No need to say anymore, I know. You are here to support the Han Dynasty and revitalize the righteous path! As for these seven treasures, you did not use them yourself. You just want to stop the seven fiendish demons from ruling the world. I am a selfish and despicable person. You are noble heroes who care about the world, am I right? "
The man said, "Yes … yes!" Under the pressure of his smile that hid a dagger, the man actually lost his confidence in answering this question. The old man from the Tiantai Sect said angrily, "Evil thief, what are you doing?" Lu Qian smiled and said, "I am doing? What am I doing? I am just helping you speak your mind. Should I not trust you? Or do you think there is something wrong? "The old man said angrily," I am not going to argue with you. "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "You know you can't outtalk me, so you try to avoid the shortcoming. You are very smart. If those words were said by Li Meng Zhu, I would believe it, because he is indeed too pedantic. His mind is honest, he does not have any evil intention. "The man said," You don't believe us? "
"No," Lu Qian said, "I also believe you. I believe you have a big appetite, one 'Death Seeking Chop' is not enough to satisfy your appetite. Your real purpose is to gather the seven fiendish treasures. What's the matter? After you succeed this time, are you going to leave the treasures untouched and hand them over to Li Meng Zhu for him to deal with? Can you do that? "The man hesitated," This … this … "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "Alright, I will speak frankly. I don't know if you remember, but at first you were not willing to go to Mount Shaoshi to help. It was I who told you that the Soul of the Bereaved Heart is at Shaolin Temple. That's why each and every one of you rushed here faster than reincarnating. When I asked you to do a chivalrous deed, you avoided it like the plague. That was then, this is now. But since you were able to accept my instigation, it explains a lot. "
The man's lips had just moved when Lu Qian pushed his palm flat and said, "Don't explain. I don't want you to carry the infamy of being a hypocrite on top of your guilty conscience. "
"Humph," the old man snorted coldly, "We don't need to explain to you. I don't know when you mastered the 'Invisibility Technique', plus your 'Treading Wave Subtle Steps' skill, how could you be ahead of us? "
Lu Qian laughed and said, "I am a smart man, I know how to take the shortcut to the Hall of the Dead. Only a fool would not know how to be flexible after hearing that there is a secret passage at the bottom of the Zhao Ancestor Temple, and would honestly take the path without the least bit of trickery. This is worthy of the character 'upright'. But being an upright gentleman, a lot of times you will suffer losses. "
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Secret passage? You even know about the secret passage! Looking at your flushed with success, I presume you have obtained the 'Death Seeking Chop'? Hand it over! "Lu Qian said," I have always been in a good mood, no matter what happens or what happens, I always look happy. In life, why should I make myself unhappy? But I arrived earlier than you, so I may not necessarily be able to obtain the 'Death Seeking Chop' first. "
Everybody listened to the hundreds of tricks in his mouth, he could even make a dead person alive, how could they dare to believe him? One after another they shouted, "Don't be a scoundrel! You think if you don't admit it, it will be over? If we can let you escape unscathed with the 'Death Seeking Chop', do you think we are vegetarians? "
Lu Qian raised his thumb and praised, "Well said! I propose that from today onwards you become vegetarians. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing all living things, birds, fish and insects are all living things. An upright gentleman cannot harm others for money. "
The old man angrily said, "Just now what you said was clear and logical, you told us not to put on airs, why are you pretending to be a good person?" Lu Qian said, "Who I want to pretend to be is my business, in any case, a despicable person like me is incurable, but how can you compare yourself to me? What, Senior, are you finally willing to admit that you and I are the same kind of people? "
The old man spat and said, "We don't have time to play dumb with you. We let you hand over the 'Death Seeking Chop' on your own accord, we are giving you some face, don't force us to take it by force, it won't look good. "
Lu Qian said, "That's right, when the time comes, your people's faces will be green and purple, it won't look good. Everyone loves beauty, I understand, I understand. "The old man was so angry that his face turned black, he said angrily," You … everyone go! Do it! Search his body! "
Lu Qian shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands and said with an innocent face, "It really isn't on me, why would I lie to you?" As he said that, he consciously pulled down the few pockets on his clothes, but his right hand was still clenched into a fist.
The old man looked him up and down several times, but couldn't find any bulge, he frowned and looked at his hand, saying, "What are you holding in your hand? Spread it out and let's see. "Lu Qian said," What a joke, you think the 'Death Seeking Chop' is only this big? What kind of treasured saber is that? Do you see the scribbles on the side formed by the sharp swords? "
Those people turned their heads to look, and saw the dim light floating in the wide hole on the top floor, it indeed looked like something special. Lu Qian turned his wrist, clamped the piece of wood between two fingers, and raised it to his eyes, saying, "Here is the method to obtain the 'Death Seeking Chop', take it and study it yourself." Finished speaking, his fingers bent slightly, and lightly flicked, the piece of wood flew towards the crowd.
Because the old man was shouting at Lu Qian, he was standing in the middle of the front row, the piece of wood was about to hit his chest. He was afraid that this was another trick, that the piece of wood was coated with poison, so he waved his sleeve and wrapped it around the piece of wood. Afterwards, his hand was still inside his sleeve, holding the piece of wood, he tilted his head and looked at it carefully.
