In one breath Li Yijie ran very far away, he casually tossed away his sword, and pounded the tree trunk next to him with all his might, until his fists were dripping with blood. Zhang Wuji's heart brightened, he thought, "Li Yijie, oh Li Yijie, you are really a suspicious lowly person, you only listen to what other people say, unexpectedly you do not even trust the brotherhood of a fellow traveler, what kind of brother are you?" He also thought, "Shifu is honest and considerate, he was deceived by that old thief's flowery words and flowery speech. I must not panic, I must find a way to resolve the misunderstanding." He felt that this way he could help his brother to clear his name. He was secretly delighted, but he suppressed his doubts with this thought. But if he really trusted Jiang Liechen, it would be better to say that he found it difficult to trust himself.
Nangong Xue quickly ran toward him. Seeing his face alternating between worry and joy, as if he had lost his soul, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. Disregarding everything, she stepped forward to pull him back. Before she could say anything, her tears fell from her eyes. Although Li Yijie tried his best to deceive himself, in the end he was still upset and restless. Many of his thoughts had to be confirmed before he could calm down. This time, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Xueer," he said anxiously, "Tell me quickly, those words were made up. The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect deliberately made a fool of our Shifu. Tell me! "
Nangong Xue gently stroked his cheek. "Shixiong," she said sadly, "You must face reality! This matter is absolutely true, I have known about it for a long time. "Li Yijie was startled." You have known about it for a long time? " He asked, "How long?" Nangong Xue said, "When we were on the battlefield, to tell you the truth, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. I didn't want you to be upset, that's why I didn't tell you."
Li Yijie opened his mouth and closed it again. He felt his throat was dry, and from head to toe he felt cold. Suddenly, like a drowning man grabbing hold of a piece of driftwood, holding on to his last hope, he anxiously said, "You once said that as long as there is good in the heart, regardless of region, regardless of identity, even if we are in the Devil Cult, it doesn't matter. Is that right? Is that right?"
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "That's different. You've seen with your own eyes what kind of person An Yesun is. Jiang Liechen destroyed Shadowless Mountain Villa with his own hands. He's even more ruthless than An Yesun. He didn't have good intentions from the very beginning when he contacted us. To be able to see his true colors earlier, you should just treat it as a short pain rather than a long pain. Could it be that other than him, there is no one else in the world that you cherish? "
Li Yijie tightened her grip on Nangong Xue's bones as if they were about to shatter, but she bit down hard on her lips and did not cry out in pain. It was because she knew that Li Yijie's pain was even worse than hers. Since she was powerless to help him, the only thing she could do was to let him vent.
Li Yijie suddenly let out a long whistle that shook the leaves above his head. He pushed her far away and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Lu Qian used me because he wanted the Devil Cult's secret manual. Jiang Liechen used me because he wanted the 'Tear of Severing Soul' … all my companions deceived me." His finger trembled as he pointed toward Nangong Xue. He angrily shouted, "You used me, what is your purpose? What value do I have? You might as well use me all at once, and then get lost from my side. I, Li Yijie, am a lone wolf, free and unfettered. Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! " He raised his voice and laughed loudly, but his laughter was full of sadness. Two lines of tears flowed down his face. He waved his sleeve to wipe them away, until his eyes were red and swollen.
Nangong Xue staggered back several steps. She stared blankly at Li Yijie, who had suddenly become a stranger to her. She miserably said, "Shixiong, I followed Shifu's order to travel with you. It's not like you didn't know. What other purpose do I have?" Li Yijie coldly laughed and said, "Very well, so you were forced to do so. Now that the mission has failed, we'll part ways. You don't have to follow me anymore."
Nangong Xue angrily said, "Do you still have a conscience? It's true that following you to find the 'Tear of Severing Soul' was my mission. But comforting you when you're sad, and when you're in a bad mood, I'm willing to stand by your side and be scolded by you. Is this also my mission? I've treated you with sincerity, how can you humiliate me like this? "
Li Yijie felt that what she said was reasonable. Along the way, she had indeed been very considerate to him. It was he who had repeatedly neglected her efforts. He felt deeply guilty. He stepped forward and gently hugged her. He said, "It's my fault. I was impulsive and spoke without thinking. Please don't take offense. Now I've realized that everything in the world is fake, only power is real. Shifu always says that I have too many distracting thoughts. In the future I won't be so stupid … Aiyo, I just left Shifu behind. He must be very angry. I'll go back and ask for forgiveness. From now on I'll focus on practicing martial arts with him. I won't be bothered by those ridiculous brotherly feelings anymore! "Nangong Xue gently covered the back of his hand.

Meng Anying rarely stepped out of Mount Hua. Even if he had an important mission, he would only send his disciples to help him. He was used to being arrogant. This time he personally went to the Sword Discourse Forest because he wanted to condescend. He did not expect that as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the forest he would be stopped by a group of Beggar Clan beggars. They directly reprimanded him. He had long suppressed his anger. Afterwards he severely reprimanded his disciples, hoping to regain his dignity. Who would have thought that two of his disciples would turn around and leave without showing any respect? He had become a laughing stock in front of the Kongtong Sect Leader and a Wudang Taoist. These two people had always been looked down upon by him. Even if he had a good self-control, right now he was fuming with anger.
Jie Yan tried to persuade him, "Meng Shibo, please don't be angry. The most important thing is not to harm each other …" But a sharp voice interrupted him. "Not to harm each other? You're making it sound nice. He allowed his disciples to kill my disciples. Our relationship has been greatly damaged. Meng Zhangmen, you must give me an explanation. "It was the Kunlun Sect Leader, He Zhengxian. Yu Shuanglin, leading the Beggar Clan, followed closely behind him.
Meng Anying casually said, "My disciples were mischievous and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They caused such a disaster. I am deeply ashamed. When they come back, I will punish them severely and make them apologize to He Xiong. " Kunlun disciples had lost to Huashan disciples because their martial arts were superior. Meng Anying was quite pleased with himself. In fact, not to mention the fact that the Kunlun Sect's disciples were killed, even if the whole sect was exterminated, it would not affect the prosperity of Huashan. He would just laugh it off.
Yu Shuanglin hit the ground with his bamboo crutch. Unwilling to give up, he said, "How can there be a Master waiting for his disciple's arrival? Wouldn't that be a mess? I think Meng Zhangmen is helpless against those evil disciples and wants to protect them so that they can escape. " He Zhengxian was furious. He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Meng Zhangmen, if you don't hand over those two murderers, I will follow you wherever you go. I don't believe I won't be able to catch them!"
The Kongtong Sect leader smiled and said, "Meng Zhangmen lives on the peak of Huashan all year round, drinking tea and admiring the moon. If He Xiong follows him, you will enjoy a life of leisure and happiness." He Zhengxian angrily said, "We are in terrible shape because of the Devil Cult. Meng Laoer, do you think you have nothing to fear because you have some friendship with them? If you want to be a hermit, you'd better give up the Huashan Sect Leader position. Henceforth there will be no such person as you in Jianghu. " He had previously called him 'Meng Zhangmen', but now he changed it to 'Meng Laoer'. Obviously he was openly despising him.
Meng Anying was not paying attention when suddenly she heard Li Yijie loudly said, "I am responsible for my own actions. The one you are looking for is me. Don't make things difficult for my Shifu!"
Hearing this, Yu Shuanglin shouted. The Beggar Clan disciples immediately formed a circle around him, trapping him in the middle. Li Yijie did not look sideways. He held Nangong Xue's hand and the two of them walked toward Meng Anying. Li Yijie bowed and said, "Shifu, disciple knows my mistake. But those two have repeatedly deceived me. If disciple knew they were Devil Cult people, I would not have wallowed in the mire with them. Shifu, please forgive disciple's ignorance. "
He Zhengxian did not know him at first, but after looking at him carefully, he realized he was just a young man with an arrogant expression on his face; he did not think he was a good person. His two disciples must have underestimated the enemy. With a cold laugh he said, "Very well, so you are Li Yijie. My two disciples' lives are exchanged for your 'know your mistake'? Is your mouth made of gold? "
Li Yijie could refute that the 'Kunlun Shuang Xia' were killed by the Devil Cult, but the root of the problem was that Jiang Liechen saved his life. He might as well take the blame for Jiang Liechen's death. It could be considered as repaying his kindness one last time. Henceforth they would not owe each other anything. He replied, "Since it has come to this, does He Shibo want little nephew to pay with my life?"
Nangong Xue saw the murderous glint in He Zhengxian's eyes; she was afraid he would disregard his status as a Sect's master and really attack them. "Wrong, wrong!" she hastily called out. "What?" He Zhengxian asked, "Do you also think your Shixiong was wrong?" "That's right," Nangong Xue said, "You are absolutely wrong. After those Kunlun Shuang Xia were injured, didn't He Shibo expel them from your School? In other words, my Shixiong only 'injured' two Kunlun disciples. As for those who died without any school or sect, it has nothing to do with him. "
He Zhengxian stared at her and said, "Don't try to talk nonsense with me; I won't fall for your trick. Very well, if I kill him in front of your Shifu, Meng Xiong won't agree. I'll take a step back. If Li Yijie can survive my two palms, then this matter will be written off. What do you say? "On the surface he sounded magnanimous, but in reality he was determined to put Li Yijie to death.
"Hold on," Yu Shuanglin shouted, "Your disciple's life is a life, but our Sect's Elders' lives are not? Li Yijie colluded with the Sacrifice Shadow School to harm people, he ordered the Cruel Malevolent Star Demon to kill Peng Zhanglao. How do you want to settle this debt? "
Nangong Xue saw this was a heaven-sent opportunity to provoke a fight between the two sides. With a smile she said, "If my Shixiong wants to pay with his life, then he can only pay with his life once. Since it's difficult to advance or retreat, for the sake of fairness, I'd like to ask Meng Shibo and Yu Zhanglao to fight first. The winner can punish my Shixiong as he pleases. What do you think? "" Xueer, "Meng Anying shouted," Don't make trouble! "
Li Yijie was confident about Peng Zhanglao's death. With a serious expression he said, "Peng Zhanglao was killed by An Yesun of the Devil Cult. At that time I didn't know him, and that was our first meeting. With his proud and arrogant temperament, how could he let me order him around? Besides, he was in the light and I was in the dark, how could I order him around? At that time Lu Qian of the Kunlun Sect and Xiao Nephew saw everything clearly from the side. Ask him to come out so that I can confront him face to face. Then I'll know the truth. "
Nangong Xue turned her head and said, "He Shibo, how can Lu Qian Shixiong be so unruly that he didn't accompany you?" He Zhengxian said, "I ordered him to concentrate on practicing martial arts in preparation for tomorrow's battle. He doesn't need to pay attention to those shameless people. What's wrong with that?"
Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Lu Qian Shixiong is indeed a famous teacher who produces a brilliant disciple. He is so diligent. As the saying goes, diligence makes up for stupidity …" He Zhengxian's countenance changed. Li Yijie laughed out loud. Yu Shuanglin angrily said, "I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Fine, I'll send someone to look for him." Nangong Xue laughed and said, "Lu Qian Shixiong is diligent in practicing martial arts. Don't send those shameless people to bother him!"
By this time Lu Qian was in a nearby cave, concentrating on studying sword manuals. Chu Menglin's acupoints were sealed by the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader and he was imprisoned there. But since she knew these two people would definitely take her to watch the martial arts competition and would definitely not kill her, she did not panic. It was just that she was bored. Seeing Lu Qian racking his brains, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, she could not help laughing and said, "Hey, what kind of bad idea are you coming up with?"
Lu Qian glared at her but did not pay her any attention. Chu Menglin rarely found a chance to pass the time, how could he let it go so easily? Deliberately trying to draw Lu Qian's attention, he dragged his voice and said, "What's so annoying? Why don't you ask for my opinion? "
