If Nangong Xue wanted to help him, all the secrets that he and Li Yijie had concealed would be exposed, and the injustice that had just been cleared would be seized by the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader. Moreover, she believed that Lu Qian was trying to cover up his crime by dismembering the body. Her remaining sympathy disappeared. She looked away and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I have nothing to say."
"Lu Qian," Liang Yue loudly said, "You have deviated from the orthodoxy, killed your fellow disciples, you have lost your conscience! Why don't you quickly surrender without putting up a fight? "Lu Qian angrily shouted," Even if I die, I will deal with you, this scoundrel who spread lies to deceive people! "Raising his chi, he leaped up and sent a palm strike toward Liang Yue's face. Liang Yue stood motionless, he did not show any intention to block. Lu Qian was still puzzled when suddenly his knees buckled and his legs sank down as if they were stuffed with cotton, just like someone who had never learned martial art.
Liang Yue laughed shrilly and said, "What's wrong? Do you feel that your 'dan tian' is as empty as a valley, your 'ren' and 'du' meridians are sometimes numb and itchy, sometimes you feel as if knives and spears are piercing you, and your chest feels stuffy and blocked? Let me kindly remind you, those are the signs of being poisoned by the 'shi xiang ruan jin san'. Even if you are a top martial art master, after being poisoned, your hands and feet will go limp, and you won't be able to use the least bit of your internal energy, and will be trampled on. However, your internal energy is already very weak, there is not much difference between before and after. " The poison did not affect the functioning of the brain, Lu Qian was still able to calmly ponder over the recent events. "It's … it's that meal …" he blurted out.
With a cold laugh Liang Yue said, "There was no poison in the meal. Haven't I tasted every dish for you? I told you to 'eat the dishes, eat the dishes', who told you to be too paranoid and only focused on drinking wine, just like drinking medicine in big gulps. Don't blame me then. This is a secret poison that entered the Central Earth from a foreign country at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The preparation of the antidote is complicated, it will take at least ten days to half a month. But if you don't take the antidote within the time limit, you will become a cripple. Unfortunately, I don't have the antidote with me, and I didn't even pay attention to the antidote. "
Lu Qian's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He said furiously, "I … I'll fight it out with you!" He pounced forward, his two fingers pierced toward Liang Yue's eyes. Liang Yue tripped his left leg, his two hands clasped Liang Yue's two wrists, while twisting and pressing outwards, his elbow struck Liang Yue's right rib. His left foot slightly lowered, he threw Liang Yue over his shoulder to the ground.
The earthen pot, which had been tied to his waist, could not bear the brunt of his blows. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and a human head, dripping with blood, rolled out of the fragments. His face was ashen, and his eyes were dark and sunken. Everyone present recognized him as He Zhengxian. The head of the Kongtong Sect stepped forward, picked up the head, wiped the dust off, and walked to the coffin. He placed the head neatly on the broken neck. At this point, a complete corpse finally appeared in front of everyone.
Liang Yue shouted, "The evidence is here! Lu Qian, you've got guts. You actually dared to bring the evidence of your crimes up the mountain! " Only then did Lu Qian realize that he had already become a fish in the net, and now was the time for the enemy to reel in the net. With a hoarse voice he shouted, "No wonder you wanted to travel with me, turns out everything was your trick! You are a shameless traitor, you have played me for a long time! "
Liang Yue rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up with one hand. He leaned close to Lu Qian's face and said, "I played you? Am I playing you, or are you playing the hero of the world? I followed you the whole way just in case you were too guilty to go to Kunlun, and then sneaked away halfway. " And then his countenance turned serious, "I have ordered the owner of the bathhouse to carefully search the clothes you took off. Where did you hide the Sect Leader's Edict? Quickly hand it over to me! "
Lu Qian remembered that the Edict had already been taken by Ji Qiannian, so it was a blessing in disguise. He laughed aloud and said, "What goes around comes around. You betrayed me, you deserve to be betrayed. That owner must have taken the Edict for himself and ran away. If you pursue him immediately, you might be able to catch up with him. "Liang Yue said word by word," Impossible! "His countenance turned even fiercer. He said," I don't have time to play mushroom with you. Are you going to hand it over or not? If you don't hand it over, I'll make you suffer! "
Lu Qian giggled and said, "Alright, I'll hand it over, I'll 'teach'. Ay, you are a Diancang disciple, what use do you have for our Kunlun's Edict? Very well, come closer, I can only tell you … Hush, you only need to read the Edict from morning till night, 'Edict', 'Edict', but you must be sincere enough. When you dream at night, you will see it. This is called 'what you think in the day, you dream in the night'. "
Liang Yue was furious, he rubbed his palms and said, "Little animal, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. All along the way laozi has swallowed my anger and humiliation, I have called you 'Shishu' so many times, now I'm going to pay it back with my fists! "While saying that, his palm struck Lu Qian's stomach, followed by punches and kicks landing on his lungs. Although he did not use his internal energy, it was like a fight between country bumpkins, but Lu Qian's internal organs were still in turmoil, his heart felt like it was going to come out of his mouth. Liang Yue's control over his strength was exquisite, he wanted Lu Qian to beg for life, but he could not die, yet Lu Qian would not faint.
Lu Qian's gauze hat had fallen to the side, his messy hair draped over his shoulders, covering his face and his shoulders. Liang Yue pulled a strand of loose hair from the top of Lu Qian's head so that Lu Qian's face was facing the sky, and then he clenched his fist and hit the bridge of Lu Qian's nose. Liang Yue was about to strike left and right, to slap Lu Qian's face several more times, but suddenly the Sect Leader of Kongtong Sect raised his arm to block him. Smiling indifferently, he turned around and gently brushed Lu Qian's hair behind his ear, and straightened out Lu Qian's torn sleeve. With a smile he said, "Oh, Lu Xiandi, how did you end up in this kind of situation? Thinking back to the day when you were first appointed as the Sect Leader of Kunlun, when you wanted the wind you got the wind, when you wanted the rain you got the rain; it was no different from a myriad of stars surrounding the moon; how awe-inspiring that was! Who would have thought that in one night you would be in such a state of panic like a stray dog? Yu Xiong's heart is the softest, I really can't help but feel sorry for you. "
Lu Qian hatefully said, "When a tiger falls to the plains, it will be bullied by a dog. That's right, I admit defeat." Liang Yue angrily said, "Who are you calling a dog?" He slapped the left side of Lu Qian's face to the side. Lu Qian sighed and said, "I have withstood big wind and big waves, I did not expect to capsize in a ditch. I can only blame myself for being muddle-headed." Liang Yue angrily said, "Who are you calling a ditch?" He slapped the right side of Lu Qian's face.
"Humph," Lu Qian coldly snorted, "A dog is not funny, a ditch is not funny either. But there are people who take it as their own and admit it. This is really funny. Ha ha ha ha!" He roared in laughter, but his laughter was filled with unconcealable desolation.
Liang Yue angrily said, "Death is at hand, you still dare to be stubborn! You are asking for a beating! " Another storm of fists rained down on Lu Qian's body, breaking countless of his muscles and bones. He staggered backward and fell limp. The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader caught him in time and softly said in his ear, "There is a road to heaven you do not want to take, there is no door to hell you barge in. Yu Xiong did not give you a chance, I asked Martial Nephew Liang to advise you to give up pursuing fame and fortune, to live a free and unfettered life, but you refused. If you want to participate in this game, you must abide by the rules. If you lose, you will be kicked out. Everybody is equal. "
Lu Qian recalled Liang Yue's emotional outburst in the restaurant. Turned out it was actually a hint to beat around the bush. His eyes fixed on the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader, he angrily said, "Old ignorant man, I curse you to die a horrible death. You are adept at scheming, using others to do your dirty work, your heart is black, your lungs are black, even your intestines are black. You … you are really vicious! "
The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader did not take offense; he gently cupped his fists and said with a smile, "You flatter me, you flatter me. You may not recognize me as your elder brother, but I still recognize you as my sworn younger brother. For the sake of our friendship, every year on this day, Yu Xiong will go and burn a stick of incense for you. I invite you to sleep on the coffin. It just so happens that He Xiong's funeral is just about to begin. Letting you be buried together with the former Sect Leader, for a junior like you, it will give you a lot of face. "
A Kunlun disciple called out, "It's not that easy! Lu Qian, that evil thief, deceived the sect and killed his ancestors, his crime is unforgivable. According to our Sect's rules, he should be hacked to pieces and put to death by a thousand cuts for three days! Afterwards, his corpse will be hung on the top of the mountain and he will be spurned by the world. " Meng Anying put on a fake smile and said, "Oh, since it's your honorable Sect's Founder's rule, you must scrupulously abide by it. Don't let outsiders point at your nose and curse you as an unfilial disciple." Her words had a hidden meaning; she was mocking Lu Qian's ridicule at the Sword Discourse Forest.
Lu Qian raised his hand and pointed to all directions. "Everybody stop," he called out, "Who dares to be impudent? Our Sect's token is on my body, I am still the Sect Leader! If you dare to touch me, you will be trying to usurp the throne, you will be committing treason and heresy! " Seeing that the disciple was really shaken, before he could rejoice, Liang Yue said, "Who knows if it's real or fake? You, this little thief, are full of lies; you even dare to borrow a knife to kill your Shifu and Shishu. You forged a specious token outside and came back to swindle people; what's so strange about that? In any case, that token has been passed down for generations in Kunlun, how many outsiders have seen it? Since you want to rely on it to give orders, why don't you take it out and show it to everybody! "
Actually, if Lu Qian could really show the token on the spot, he would be able to intimidate the majority of the disciples. Then he could use his silver tongue to argue and argue, deceiving the elders present to take pity on him and uphold justice on his behalf. Perhaps he could really turn the situation around. But Liang Yue had already carefully searched his clothes and confirmed that there was no such token, so he was not afraid at all.
Another Kunlun disciple wanted to curry favor with Liang Yue, so that he would promote him in the future. "You must carry the token with you at all times," he called out, "If you lose it, you'll be committing another crime on top of another crime!"
Lu Qian looked around and saw that if there was no hatred in everybody's eyes, then there was the indifference of taking pleasure in his misfortune. Only then did he realize that nobody here was his friend. In this vast world, he was alone. The last glimmer of light in his eyes gradually dimmed, leaving only the ashes of despair. "Let me go," he said indifferently. Your plan is flawless. Who can hope to escape from it? I admit defeat, I'll let you deal with me however you like. Before that, let me say a few more words to Martial Niece Nangong, otherwise I won't be able to die in peace. "
With a cold laugh Liang Yue said, "Defeated general, you don't have the right to bargain, you dare to bargain with laozi …" The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader waved his hand and said with a smile, "When a man is about to die, his words are kind. This is Martial Niece Lu's last wish, no matter what, we must do it for him." Liang Yue angrily shoved Lu Qian aside and cursed, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, fart quickly."
Lu Qian's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. One of his eyelids was swollen, he squinted his eyes and looked around. Nangong Xue's heart was filled with grief. She had made up her mind to come to Kunlun with her master to testify, so she had already anticipated this kind of result. But when it came to this, she could not bear it. She remembered that Lu Qian was not an evil person. No matter what she said, he could only be considered a greedy and lustful little scoundrel who was blinded by greed and greed. He had not done many evil deeds that offended the Heaven and Reason. His crime did not warrant death, and he did not deserve to suffer this kind of endless suffering. She could not help but walk over to him. Her clear eyes were wide open as she stared at him. "What else do you want to say to me?" she asked softly. Her voice was gentle, almost like a close friend's secret conversation.
Lu Qian felt as if time and space were flowing backward. Right now he did not dare to pull her and laugh with her, for fear that she would abandon him and leave him. He would not even have this last moment of warmth in his life. Their eyes looked at each other for a long time before he finally said in a sorrowful voice, "Xueer, I have fallen into this desperate situation because of my own sins. I deserve this punishment. I don't hate you for exposing me. I really don't hate you at all. I wonder if the next ten thousand knives will be able to cut off your loathing for me? After I die, if you can often come to my grave and scatter a few wild flowers, as long as you personally pick them, I will be happy … "Speaking to this point, his throat was choked with sobs.
Liang Yue laughed coldly and said, "You have a beautiful dream. We are going to grind your bones and scatter your ashes. This animal who deserves more than death actually wants to erect a grave?"
