Actually, this plan should have been approved unanimously by the entire stronghold's Clan members before it could be considered effective. But once the words were spoken, there was no way to go back on it. This time he acted arbitrarily, smearing the Clan members' hearts. Fortunately, although Cheng Jiahua did not have any battle talent, his stratagem was still very effective, so that everybody's dissatisfaction toward him gradually lessened.
For the past six years, he really admired Cheng Jiahua very much. Later on when Cheng Jiahua betrayed him, although he gnashed his teeth in anger, in his heart he still could not harden his heart to kill him. When Cheng Jiahua carried a bramble and asked for punishment, he was actually very happy. He pretended to be pretentious and did not insist on punishing Cheng Jiahua; instead, he promised to 'return to the school'.
Now somebody was forcing him to kill Cheng Jiahua. First, he was reluctant to do so; second, he hated being threatened the most; he was a hundred times, a thousand times unwilling to accept. This matter was already a dilemma, to his surprise, Yuan Yi suddenly intervened midway, making him even more confused and disoriented.
Yuan Yi laughed indifferently. "Liu Men Zhang," he said, "You should have mentioned this condition earlier. I thought it would be a very difficult matter. Very well, I'll kill him for you. As for the Death Seeking Chop, it's still mine! "Finished speaking casually, he walked out with the Death Seeking Chop in his hand.
For a moment Lu Qian panicked. He grabbed Li Yijie's sleeve and said, "Li Meng Zhu, this … what the hell is going on?" Li Yijie said in a low voice, "Yuan Gongzi is not a bad person. I don't think he will kill for the sake of killing. Perhaps he has thought of a good way to save two people at the same time."
Actually, he did not know the details. Lu Qian taking advantage of the chaos to snatch the Death Seeking Chop was already shocking enough. This time Yuan Yi snatched the treasured Saber again, which made him even more confused. But somehow he felt that Yuan Yi did not have any evil intention. Although he did not have the least bit of confidence, he was still willing to believe him, even though he could not produce any evidence.
Lu Qian said in a low voice, "Are you sure? That kid is both good and evil; can you really believe him? I am afraid he still thinks this is his game. "Li Yijie forced a smile in his heart," You also know how to say 'both good and evil'. The one who really knows how to give people headaches should be you, the righteous disciple of a gang boss. "
Yuan Yi slowly walked forward. Liu Mujian's face showed a look of ecstasy. That was his heart jumping with joy at the thought of finally avenging his severed hand. She turned her body slightly and took a few steps back so that Yuan Yi could pass.
Yuan Yi didn't even turn her head. She walked straight to Cheng Jiahua, raised the Death Seeking Chop high up, and aimed it at the slightly protruding blue blood vessels on his neck.
Liu Mujian shouted in a strange voice, "Good! As long as you satisfy me and avenge me, I will let this girl go. Then let's cut his neck first! "
Yuan Yi said indifferently, "Whether you let her go or not has nothing to do with me. In any case, I don't know her, let alone have any friendship with her. I just want to take back my Death Seeking Slash. This ancient treasured saber must not fall into other people's hands. "" Good, "Liu Mujian said," You're bold enough! But you can't just say that. Don't try to stall for time, quickly do it! "
"Humph," Yuan Yi snorted and waved her saber. Just when the saber was about a cun away from Cheng Jiahua's throat, suddenly they heard a loud noise, as if it came from right next to them. The ground under their feet also shook slightly. Li Yijie was not unfamiliar with this feeling. Just a moment ago, when they were inside the stone statue, Cheng Jiahua's fist also hit the stone wall, which also shook the entire statue. Based on this assumption, there must be something big colliding with the Hall of the Dead. Otherwise, there would not be such a big movement.
Everybody's attention was attracted by the noise. Yuan Yi also temporarily put her saber away and turned her head around to look. She heard the crowd of heroes crying out in alarm. Nobody knew when, but the passage on the side of the stone door had been sealed by another slab of stone. As soon as the four corners were sealed, they were immediately covered by another slab of stone. The seal was so tight that not even the slightest gap could be found. This new slab of stone was obviously someone else's doing and was not the tomb's original mechanism.
Everybody was about to step forward to take a look when suddenly their nostrils caught a whiff of a strange fragrance. Wisps of it made them feel relaxed and happy. Their whole body suddenly felt refreshed, with a hint of freshness. Although they felt that the fragrance was strange, they could not help but want to take a few more breaths.
Among this group of people, Cheng Jiaxuan's internal energy was the weakest. After taking a few breaths, his countenance suddenly changed. His originally cool and refreshing lungs suddenly felt like they were being cut by a knife. His face was as white as a sheet of paper. His forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. His eyes were unfocused as he leaned on the side and retched. Seeing this, everybody had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Yuan Yi pondered for a moment and then shouted, "This is poisonous smoke! Everybody quickly hold your breath, or else use your sleeve to cover your mouth and nose to prevent breathing in. "The crowd of heroes hastily complied. Several people opened their mouths and cursed, "Liu Mujian, you old thief! That baby girl harmed you, we have not done anything wrong to you! Why did you use this kind of despicable method, using poisonous smoke to harm people? "
Liu Mujian was slightly startled, but then he burst into laughter. He raised his arms high above his head and parted them like two branches. "Poisonous smoke? Ha ha ha, poisonous smoke is good! The Heaven has finally opened its eyes for once! I won't live long anyway, I might as well let everybody die in here. Let's die together, let's die cleanly! Let's die cleanly! Ha ha, ha ha ha ha! "His laughter was shrill and even more insolent.
Lu Qian took advantage of the moment Liu Mujian's arm left the Nangong Xue's neck to throw a dagger. Although he had been slacking for several months, he still did not lose his aim. The dagger went straight into Liu Mujian's throat, up to the hilt. At first Liu Mujian was still laughing non-stop, even the hilt of the dagger hanging on his throat was trembling; it looked very strange. But then his laughter suddenly choked. "Uh …" it was as if his voice was cut off.
Liu Mujian's throat made a gurgling sound. Using all his strength, he could only utter a few broken syllables, "Ah … Ah …". His voice was hoarse, and the bystanders also felt a kind of pressure on their throats. It was as if something was pressing against their throats; it was indescribably uncomfortable.
Then, from the point where the dagger hilt entered his throat, streaks of blood seeped out like a spider web from both sides to the bottom of his throat, like a piece of porcelain slowly cracking. Liu Mujian slowly raised his arm, as if he still wanted to grab the Nangong Xue. After a final struggle, he wanted to pull his arm back to cover the wound on his throat. His arm trembled for a while, but he was unable to do either. His eyes had already turned white and less black. Suddenly his whole body convulsed violently. His eyes were wide open like a dead fish's, and he fell on his back with a dull thud.
The Nangong Xue was still unconscious. Losing her support, she also fell down. Lu Qian and Li Yijie rushed out at the same time, one holding her shoulder, the other holding her waist. Li Yijie tore a square piece of cloth from his lapel and covered the Nangong Xue's face to protect her from the poisonous smoke.
Lu Qian suddenly felt that this situation was exceptionally familiar. It was a replica of the battle at the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's headquarters more than a month ago. At that time, Jiang Liechen also used the Nangong Xue as a hostage to threaten Li Yijie to let him go. He didn't dare to do anything to this devil Jiang Liechen, but he dared to vent his anger on a dead body. Glancing at Liu Mujian's body, he kicked his waist and muttered, "Liu Sect Leader, of all the people you could learn from, you just had to learn from that 'Seven Demons'. In that case, you'll have to suffer the same fate as him. You can't blame me for this. "
Fei Ying from Tiantai called out, "Search his body! See if there's an antidote! "His voice came from inside his sleeve, but it was muffled. At this time, the poisonous smoke had spread for a long time, almost covering every corner of the Hall of the Dead. The weaker disciples couldn't take it anymore, and the sound of retching filled the air. Cheng Jiaxuan didn't even have the strength to retch anymore. He curled up on the ground, his fingers clutching his chest. His pale face was covered in cold sweat.
Lu Qian had seen with his own eyes that Liu Mujian had been poisoned by the poison smeared on his sword. Although he had chopped off his hands in time, who knew if the poison had stopped? After hearing Cheng Jiaxuan's description, he knew that the poison Mu Qingyan used was extremely powerful. If it worked on the skin of a dead body, he would lose his life if he rashly searched the body.
Moreover, his throwing knife had been repeatedly soaked in Yin Corpse Water. The poison would take effect as soon as it touched blood, and there was no antidote. This was specially trained for the weaker disciples of the mountain stronghold. Once the knife had poison on it, as long as it stabbed the enemy, it would kill the enemy. In short, this Liu Mujian couldn't be touched no matter what. He could only think of an excuse. Pretending to be serious, he said, "Everyone, listen to me. Liu Mujian wasn't the one who poisoned you." In other words, he wouldn't have the antidote on him.
Tiantai's Eagle said, "It wasn't him? Then who else could it be? Don't be so wishy-washy! "
Lu Qian said, "Sect Master Liu came down with Alliance Head Li and the others. Half of the Yellow Mountain Sect's disciples came with him." He pointed around the hall. Those lying motionless on the ground were the Yellow Mountain Sect's disciples. He continued, "The other half came with you. Sect Master Liu only wants the Death Seeking Slash. There's no need for him to die with us. Moreover, after he came in, he didn't send any signals outside. Although it was arranged in advance, he was determined to succeed. He never expected that he would be poisoned by the fake sword and lose both his hands. Now he's also in the tomb. Unless one of his companions betrayed him at the last minute and released the poison outside to kill him and take the Death Seeking Slash for himself. Even if that's the case, the antidote must be on the other person. "
He spouted a bunch of nonsense, wanting to immediately clear his name and not let him touch this' Poison Corpse ', but his heart was in turmoil. If everyone forced him to confirm it again, he would appear cowardly and unavoidably be labeled as a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. In the Wulin world, this kind of cowardly scoundrel had always been looked down upon the most. Although he was in a difficult situation, he couldn't play the hero and disregard the poison.
Yuan Yi suddenly said, "What Leader Lu said makes sense. Since the attack came from the outside, it's clear that the enemy had planned it early on and was waiting for the result." Lu Qian was pleasantly surprised; he had never thought that his random nonsense would be able to obtain Yuan Yi's approval. In this short period of time, in his heart he was completely convinced by Yuan Yi. Whatever he agreed with, it was basically correct without any error. Presumably everybody else was the same. Listening to what he said, they all dispelled the idea without prior consultation.
Lu Qian had always been a soft-hearted person. Hearing the 'reasonable' compliment, Lu Qian felt as if he was floating in the air. His heart was filled with the desire to come up with a few more brilliant ideas so that he could be praised again. He said, "If the south road is blocked, we'll take the north road. How can it be difficult for us? Quickly find someone to take a look at the secret passage, we'll rush out from there. "
Yuan Yi said, "There's no need to waste our energy. Since the enemy was able to use rocks to block the road, they must have come prepared and have calculated all possible escape routes. The secret passage that we know, he must also know. Now, that place has either been sealed as well, or it has become an entrance for the poisonous smoke. "
This time Lu Qian thought he was clever, but he failed to see through Yuan Yi's thoughts. Although the others had nothing to say, he himself was disgraced. In order to conceal himself, he deliberately raised his voice, "Who is that? Is he that good? He can even find the unique entrance to the secret passage? In the present age, not many people know about this shortcut. "
Li Yijie suddenly understood. He sighed and said, "It's not that he is good. Presumably the last Huangshan disciple who came in forgot to cover the entrance. When someone came in, they would know." Lu Qian heaved an exaggerated sigh. He said, "Turns out the great hero Li Meng Zhu also made the same mistake as a nobody like me. It's sad, it's lamentable, ay! "
