Of the four cities, Yuan City was the leader. Yuan City's young master, Yuan Jie, was the most outstanding one. He excelled in both the pen and the sword, and was known to be "invincible throughout the world". He was quick-witted and had never been stumped by any problem since his debut. Although he was cruel and merciless to his enemies, his personality was rather indifferent. If people didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them. He kept his promises and was popular with both the black and white sides. Ever since the Yuan family produced this genius, the descendants passed it down from generation to generation, telling them to do their best to imitate this ancestor so that the Yuan family could continue to grow.
As the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. It wasn't completely unreasonable. The four cities were once at their peak, but during Yuan Jie's generation, due to the crazy revenge of the mysterious Xiao Ke, the four cities were involved in a scheme. In the end, the four cities were greatly damaged and it was difficult for them to regain their former glory.
Where there were heroes, there were often villains. Taking advantage of the slight decline of the four cities, many villains with ulterior motives infiltrated the cities and corrupted them from the inside. Others cooperated with people from the outside and caused chaos from the outside. In the end, the four cities gradually collapsed and finally disappeared from the map of the world. Even the ruins could not be found. However, the "Yuan, Ping, Xia, Liu" Four Great Families formed by the people of the four cities still existed. It was said that they had retreated into the mountains and forests and had not been active in Jianghu for a long time. However, they were still a hidden and mysterious power.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The four families still had a good foundation based on the accumulation of their early years. It was said that if someone could find them and pay a considerable amount of money, they would do what the person asked. Many people had thought of looking for the four families, but the four families lived in different places and deliberately hid their traces. For many years, no one had heard of a successful precedent.
Therefore, there was a rumor that the four families had been destroyed long ago and that the seclusion was just a rumor. Everyone didn't believe it at first, but after many years of searching, they had no choice but to accept it. Who would have thought that he would bump into the Yuan Family's Young Master today in this ancient tomb. From there, he would be able to find traces of the four families.
Everyone was overjoyed. If they didn't curry favor now, when would they? Their attitude toward Yuan Yi had a 180-degree change and they all went up to greet him. He laughed and said, "We brothers have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. We didn't even recognize the young master of the Yuan family. I wonder if your father's body is still healthy these past few years? "" Your mother's daughter is a heroine, I'm sure she's still as charming as before. "These people didn't recognize the two elders of the Yuan family, but now they all pretended to be close friends of many years.
Yuan Yi laughed in his heart and said, "Thank you, Shishu, for your greetings. Little nephew's parents are well." Everybody nodded and stroked their beards, "That's good, that's good!" "Old Master Yuan must be really lucky to have such a glib and skillful son like you."
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "You flatter me. My father often scolds me for not being good with words, for not being polite enough in dealing with people, and for not having the demeanor of a son of a great family. I often annoy the elders, and cause him no small amount of worry. For example, when I first arrived here, I spoke arrogantly. Uncles, please don't take offense. This nephew didn't mean to be rude. "
Everybody laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Yuan Gongzi is young and impetuous, so you speak without thinking. Besides, we're not angry, we're not angry. " "Even if Yuan Gongzi's natural disposition is arrogant, your opinions are always correct. It's impossible not to be convinced!"
Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said, "Fortunately, this time you're wearing your original clothes and not pretending to be a boorish man with a face full of pockmarks. Otherwise, if these righteous people saw you, they would think that the dignified young master of the Yuan family is like that. That would really be a disgrace to the family. In the future, when they mention the four great clans, they won't be too interested. "
Nobody knew that before Yuan Yi came here, he had disguised himself as a boorish man with a face full of pockmarks. His appearance was as ugly as it could be. When they heard his words, they didn't think too deeply about it. They just didn't expect that Yuan Yi and this brothel girl had an affair. But if this romantic young master was really lustful, they could come here and get close to him.
Someone said, "Since Yuan Gongzi has deigned to come here, I presume it was Old Master Yuan's order to obtain the Seven Fiends Life Claiming Strike?"
Yuan Yi said, "That was my own decision. My father knows nothing about it. Besides, with his temperament, even if someone brought the Seven Fiends Treasure to him, he might not necessarily accept it. In the end, it's because I'm too arrogant and always do what I want. I was dissatisfied with my father's strict discipline, so I changed my appearance and ran away from home. I wanted to show my father that even if I didn't follow the path he arranged for me, I could still become outstanding. In terms of conduct, my father is indeed a good man, a great hero, but he's not necessarily a good father. At the very least, he can't understand what his son really wants, and he never wanted to understand. It's not that whatever the father does, the son has to do the same. My father always hopes that I can become the second ancestor Yuan Jie. I respect this ancestor very much, but no matter how hard I try, it's impossible for a person to completely become another person. What I want to do is to be myself. "
Someone flattered, "Yuan Gongzi and Yuan Jie both have their own merits."
Yuan Yi faintly smiled and glanced around. "As for the Death Seeking Slash, it is all thanks to the blessings of all of you uncles. But after all, it was me who took the risk to obtain it. If I want to take this blade away, I hope none of you will object?"
Tiantai's Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Of course we won't stop Yuan Gongzi. However, this old man still has a few words to instruct you. You grew up in the Yuan Family Village, and the atmosphere around you is simple, like a paradise. But you've never been to Jianghu, so you don't know how sinister people can be … "
Yuan Yi smiled. "Senior doesn't need to worry about this. Although I've never been to Jianghu, I know people's thoughts like the back of my hand. When I was young, I read many military books and history books in the study. With history as a mirror, I can see the truth of the world. When I was away, I tried to analyze other people's thoughts. Every attempt was accurate, so there's no need to worry. "
Lu Qian smiled coldly. "What's written on paper is shallow. Yuan Gongzi, there's no harm in listening to the advice of these senior experts. The most important thing is to be humble."
Yuan Yi said, "Oh? Then if I want to understand the situation of the battle between officials and bandits, it's not enough to listen to Water Margin. Do I really have to cut the grass? "
Lu Qian was overjoyed and said with a smile, "That's great! Young Master Yuan, your talent is on par with mine. If we work together to establish our own sect, our achievements in the future won't be any less than the Azure Sky Stockade. Establishing the prestige of the number one gang in Jianghu is just around the corner. "Yuan Yi smiled." Good. Then who's the boss? "
Tiantai's Eagle said, "That's enough. Lu Qian boy, don't blindly meddle. Yuan Gongzi, Jianghu is dangerous. You can't let your guard down, especially the Great Demon who's been causing the most trouble recently … "
When Li Yijie heard this, his blood boiled. He said, "That's right. The former Hierarch of the Demonic Sect, Jiang Liechen, called himself the Seven Evil Spirits. He's been causing chaos in Jianghu. He wants to be a king and dominate the world. He has his eyes on the treasure of the Seven Evils. If he knows that you have the Deadly Slash, he'll definitely come looking for you and take the treasure away. According to our estimates, it's very likely that he has already obtained four of the Seven Evils. The Deadly Slash can't fall into his hands anymore. Otherwise, the whole Jianghu will be under his rule. Then there'll be no peace. "
The man from the Snow Mountain Sect interrupted. "That's right. Yuan Gongzi, the ownership of the Seven Evils is very important. Why don't you hide in this tomb and don't go out for a while? But … this doesn't seem very appropriate. " Yuan Yi laughed. "It's not that it's inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate. I'm not dead yet. No matter how luxurious this Hall of the Dead is, I don't want to live in it. When I'm truly buried, I won't have to worry about not having a tomb to lie in. I'll slowly enjoy it then. "
Eagle from Tiantai said, "Why don't … why don't we find a few people to follow you and protect you at all times?" Yuan Yi laughed. "I dare say that those people's martial arts are not as good as mine. When the time comes, will they protect me or will I protect them? I want the Deadly Slash for this treasure. I don't want to spend so much effort to get some burdens. Senior, you've seen my martial arts. Do you have so little confidence in me? Since I've obtained the treasure, can't I protect it? "
Eagle from Tiantai said, "This is mainly for … to be prepared. Yuan Gongzi may not know, but Jiang Liechen's martial arts are very high … "
Yuan Yi laughed. "Of course. If his martial arts were poor, you wouldn't need to be so afraid of him. But if you send a few people with poor martial arts to follow him, not only will they not be able to deal with him, they will also cause those people to lose their lives in vain. Won't that be a great injustice? If I want the Deadly Slash, I shouldn't just be greedy for benefits and avoid disaster, right? Don't worry, I'll block Jiang Shengjun's trouble for you. "
Li Yijie said, "Yuan Gongzi is not a Wulin comrade. How can we let you bear the danger? As the Alliance Leader, I can't explain myself … "
Yuan Yi laughed. "What's there to worry about? I have my own preparations. Jiang Shengjun told me a long time ago that when I get the Deadly Slash, he'll come to me and we'll decide who the Deadly Slash belongs to. The world's number one treasured Saber should be matched with a top martial art master. "Lu Qian seized the loophole and asked," He told you? What did he tell you? Could it be that the two of you are accomplices? "
Yuan Yi laughed. "I want to be friends with him," he said, "But I don't know if he'll recognize me as his accomplice. People who walk different paths cannot make plans together. He is the former Hierarch of the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, I am not a member of his cult. "Li Yijie asked," When did he tell you? Where did you meet him? "
"Met him?" Yuan Yi asked, "Met him? I haven't met him. "With a cold laugh Lu Qian said," You haven't met him? Didn't you just say that he told you personally? Could it be that he used the thousand li secret sound transmission technique? "Tiantai's Fei Ying anxiously said," This is no small matter, I'd like to ask Yuan Gongzi to tell me the truth. "Seeing that Yuan Yi did not understand how important this matter was, he was so anxious that he almost stomped his feet.
Yuan Yi said, "I'm telling the truth. About half a month ago, if I remember correctly, not long after the Sacrifice Shadow Cult was annihilated by you, I was passing by a ruined temple in the middle of a desolate mountain range when I met Jiang Shengjun. At that time he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He didn't even dare to meet with outsiders and hid behind a pillar. He even had to ask his woman to shield him from the front. It's really sad that a devil can reach such a state. A gentleman has the beauty to help others. At that time he probably felt ashamed and didn't want to meet me, so I had to respect him. That's why I stood inside the temple and talked to him through the pillar. I didn't see his face all this time, so how could it be considered 'meeting him'? It's a pity that I haven't even seen the face of this world famous person. "
Cheng Jiaxuan's heart was filled with emotions and he wanted to say a few words of praise. But she still had some sense in her and knew that with the identity she was impersonating, there was no way she could have met Jiang Liechen. If other people suspected that she was the masked witch of the Devil Cult, she wouldn't be able to keep her life no matter how many times she had. She forcibly swallowed the words back into her stomach.
Tiantai's Fei Ying breathed heavily and said, "You said … that devil was seriously injured and on the verge of death? Yes, yes, we searched everywhere but couldn't find him. So he was hiding in that ruined temple to recuperate. According to what you said, he was so seriously injured that he didn't even dare to meet people. He must have been on his last breath. A casual sword strike would have been enough to take his life. You … why didn't you kill him and get rid of this great evil for the Wulin world? " Although there was doubt in his tone, there was more blame in it. He blamed Yuan Yi for letting go of such a good opportunity.
