When the Xuan Shuang heard his indifferent tone, he was so angry that he felt dizzy. "Who … who cares about you?" He asked. "I already told you that only I can kill you. Naturally I won't let you die so easily." Jiang Liechen said, "I can listen to other things, but not this. If you don't try, you won't have any hope of becoming a demon. If you can't become a demon, you won't be able to reach the peak of your power. Even if you defeat me, it won't be of any use. "
The Xuan Shuang was so angry that he was at a loss for words. He could only repeatedly comfort himself, "He's a madman, a madman! How can a madman be judged by common sense? "
Later on, the Xuan Shuang brought it up several times, but Jiang Liechen was always vague and refused to agree. Although he had entered the demonic path, he still attached great importance to promises. He believed that if he agreed, he must keep his promise. If he didn't agree from the beginning, nobody could criticize him. The Xuan Shuang understood this and felt even more irritated.
About nine o 'clock in the morning, the two of them stood outside the An Family Manor. Not far from them was a willow tree with slender branches. Its branches drooped down and swayed gently, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace to the night. Who would have known that a bloody war was about to break out?
The two of them arrived an hour early to scout the terrain and at the same time to observe the other side's defenses. From a distance, they could see that there was no one guarding the entrance, but the manor was brightly lit. They could also hear the sound of drums and music coming from a distance. They guessed that the inside of the manor was filled with the sounds of orioles singing and swallows dancing. The Xuan Shuang frowned. "What's this? Are you trying to scare people with an empty fort strategy? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Old Man An shouldn't be so brainless. That year when I went to Shadowless Mountain Manor with Menglin, those old fellows laid out what was commonly known as the 'Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation' at the manor's entrance. They wanted to use it as a defensive line to prevent our Sacrifice Shadow Cult from invading. At that time, Menglin saw how luxurious the manor was and wanted to play. She wanted to be the first one to break through the formation. I couldn't persuade her, so I let her be. As soon as the lass entered the door, she was dazzled by the pile of stones. If it weren't for my secret guidance, she probably wouldn't have been able to walk out even after a year and a half. "
Xuan Shuang asked curiously, "Is the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation really that powerful? Why didn't I think so? In any case, there were only a few rocks. If they walked along the side, they would be able to get out. Why would they keep going in circles? Jiang Liechen said, "If I have the chance, I really want to take a good look at it." "As long as you are familiar with the pattern of the arrangement, it won't be too complicated," Jiang Liechen said. According to the order, the first palace is Kan, the second palace is Kun, the third palace is Zhen, the fourth palace is Xun … "
Xuan Shuang felt a headache coming on as he listened to the tongue-twister. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk to me about this. Cough, I don't understand anyway. You just have to pick out the stories of you and Miss Chu and tell them to me. "
Jiang Liechen said, "I told her to find the right path to enter the main room and deal with the three Manor Masters of Shadowless Mountain Villa. I went to every corner of the villa, looking for the Soul Severing Tear's whereabouts while cleaning up the villa. I didn't leave a single person alive. "
Xuan Shuang laughed dryly and said, "Alright! You're really bad. You let Miss Chu deal with the troublesome enemies while you went to deal with those old servants whose teeth are about to fall out. Looking at it this way, you're naturally the most formidable one. No wonder Miss Chu wasn't happy. "
Jiang Liechen said, "I'm just following Menglin's wishes. Is that alright? Just as you said, she's been neglected by the Cult. She wants to win back her father's attention. That's why she places so much importance on the merits of each mission. If I let her deal with the servants, she'll definitely think I'm looking down on her. Women are all so troublesome. Just because you pamper her, she'll cause endless trouble. Besides, I'm sure she won't lose her life in this short period of time. At that time, I can go and see her again. If she really can't handle it, I'll … "
Xuan Shuang giggled and said, "You'll go and 'save the damsel in distress' again, so she'll be grateful to you, right? I couldn't tell that you'd do your best for a girl. "
Jiang Liechen said, "I don't like love that's shouted out. It's enough that I know it in my heart. What you should do is walk in front of her and pave the way for her in advance, so that she can walk smoothly. "
At this moment, he thought of Shen Shiyun. Today, there were many disasters, including himself, who ended up in such an unbearable state. It was all because he had let this delicate and delicate Miss escape. But he wasn't omniscient and omnipotent. He really didn't know about this matter, but he wasn't biased.
But no matter how beautiful an excuse could be, it was still an excuse. In his heart, he could not help but secretly asked himself, if he could turn back time and let himself see what happened that day, what choice would he make? He thought, "Women mostly stay at home to assist their husbands and teach their children. For a woman like her to have such an achievement as the Noble Consort Yun, it was indeed not easy." But thinking that it was because of her that his blood brother broke off with him, he felt that it was unforgivable.
His murderous intent was aroused, but seeing Xuan Shuang's adorable appearance, he suddenly could not bear it. If he had killed Shen Shiyun earlier, he would not have been able to see this exceptionally clever son of his. He said indifferently, "Although you are her son, I feel that in many aspects, you are more like me."
Xuan Shuang thought for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "It doesn't count, it doesn't count. You are beating around the bush to scold me, saying that I am your son. But I still find it strange. Think about it, the Severing Soul Tear was the root cause of Shadowless Mountain Villa's destruction. The news that this treasure is in this villa was first leaked by the Prince Regent. According to a normal person's style, shouldn't they keep it a secret and secretly think of a way to get the treasure? Why would they deliberately leak the news and attract everyone's covetous eyes and give themselves more opponents? This matter is suspicious. Your sect's previous Hierarch is also a smart person. How could he be so easily fooled by this false information and immediately send you to investigate? "
Jiang Liechen said indifferently, "Oh, the people of the present age all believe that the Sacrifice Shadow Sect is lawless and that they kill people like flies. They have never thought about it so deeply. There is no harm in telling you directly now. Even Menglin was kept in the dark about this matter. Only I know the truth. It is said that the previous Hierarch is afraid of Manor Lord Shen Aotian's talent. He is worried that when he rules the world in the future, Shen Aotian will become a major threat. Therefore, he racked his brains to get rid of him first. "
Xuan Shuang said disdainfully, "Humph, he is not that strong. In terms of martial arts, he is not even a match for your previous Hierarch's disciple. In terms of intelligence, in the end, he was unable to save his own life. What is there to be afraid of someone like him? How could he be worthy of the previous Hierarch's fear? " He spoke eloquently and in a moment of excitement, he forgot that the person he was looking down on was his grandfather.
Jiang Liechen said, "This is an excuse among excuses. I heard that the previous Hierarch had a grudge with Manor Lord Shen. In his early years, Manor Lord Shen abhorred evil and was quite famous for his chivalrous deeds. Later, he lived in seclusion and wanted to live a peaceful life. However, the previous Hierarch did not like Manor Lord Shen's heroic style, so he casually came up with an excuse and ordered me to take the opportunity to destroy Shadowless Mountain Villa. In any case, it is impossible to find the Soul Severing Tear. "
Xuan Shuang sighed. It was unknown who he was feeling sorry for. He looked up at the brightly lit An Village and said, "Then now … can you find another excuse?"
Jiang Liechen's face revealed a stiff smile. Every time he had this expression, it could always intimidate Xuan Shuang. He said indifferently, "There is no need for excuses. You just need to remember that there are dozens of people in this village who died for you. By the way, other than Old An, there are no other experts in this village. I will leave them to you. "
Xuan Shuang was shocked. She said, "Me? You want me to kill them? But … didn't you say that because Old Manor Lord An said bad things about you, you felt indignant and came to find trouble with him? How is it going to affect me? "
Jiang Liechen said coldly, "That's true, but there are at least eight hundred people in Jianghu who curse me every day. Do you think each one of them is worth me personally taking care of? To tell you the truth, the mission of destroying An Village was to train you so that you would have enough strength to kill me in the future. Now that you are trying to distance yourself from this, how can you get away with it? Hmph, think about it, these people could have lived a good life, lived and worked in peace and contentment, enjoying their family. Now, because of your whimsical idea, not only do you want to kill me, you also painstakingly came up with this game. You are so serious, how can I not be a little bit serious? "
Xuan Shuang hesitated. "But …" he said, "I have no enmity with this family, how can I kill them? Last time those bailiffs could easily find an excuse to prevent them from leaking the secret. But An Jia Village has nothing to do with me. "
Jiang Liechen said, "So what if you have no enmity with him? If you don't kill him, he will kill you. Don't tell me you are going to stretch out your neck and let him kill you? Don't be stupid. Anyone who can block your path, no matter close or distant, must be eradicated. In the past, when I was about your age, I was sent by the Hierarch to carry out a mission. Moreover, the one I was sent to deal with was a somewhat famous swordsman in the Wulin world. At that time, my martial art was not his match. Later on, I changed my tactics and killed his wife, concubine, and young son, who did not know martial art, one by one in front of him. When that person saw this scene, he immediately collapsed and no longer resisted. He had many opportunities to kill me. The first time, he saw that I was still young. Although he was able to control my moves, he still intended to let me live and advised me to turn over a new leaf. What a joke! Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to himself. He was even kind enough to say that he saw my thin clothes and asked his wife to give me a new set of clothes. The opportunity was right in front of me, but I still had to rely on myself to seize it. At that time, I successfully took that woman hostage. Since I had her in my hands, it would be even easier to kill his children. The second time, he was too protective of his family and had already lost all hope of survival. When I killed him, I admitted that his martial art was superior, but I did not sympathize with him. With his level, he could have achieved great things in the way of the sword. Who told him to have the common problem of righteous people, being troubled by love? In front of benefits, love is the cheapest thing. Let me tell you, you have to walk your own path. If you want to become an outstanding assassin, how can you have a kind heart toward your enemy? "
Xuan Shuang turned his head away. "I don't want to be an assassin. I'm also not like you … … cold-blooded. If someone sincerely treats me well, I will also treat them well. At that time, there will be no enmity or killing. "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Some people will never treat you well. Don't think that you can influence them with just a few words. The only way to deal with this kind of person is to be stronger than them. If you want to be a simple little demon forever, if you can't cut off all ties, then … … "
Xuan Shuang interrupted, "If I can't cut off all ties, then I won't be able to kill you in the future, right? You've already reminded me of this many times. I can tolerate … … watching you kill people and commit arson, but I can't be a pawn in your hands. Do you know that I often can't bear to see you … … "The last sentence was forced out with great effort.
Jiang Liechen said, "I don't need anyone's sympathy. You don't need to waste your little bit of conscience on me. "
Xuan Shuang turned his head with difficulty to look at him, a trace of bitterness rising in his throat. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said something that he had suppressed for a long time. "What if I withdraw now? I don't want to kill you, and I won't oppose you anymore. Then the people in this manor … … won't have to die, right? "
