Li Yijie's face and ears turned red. Seeing that Tong Zhi's expression didn't seem to be joking, Li Yijie didn't expect that his absurd words would actually receive such praise from Tong Zhi, and he couldn't help but feel elated in his heart. He replied, "It's not that I want to learn other sects' martial arts, it's just that …"
Tong Zhi waved his hand and said, "The Wulin world has fallen into the hands of the Evil Spirits. All sects, big or small, will cease to exist. Alliance Master Li, in this world, there are things that must be done and things that must be done. The rules are the same. They will help you and not restrain you. You must set your sights further! "
Li Yijie was sincerely convinced and bowed his head in agreement. The next few days were all spent on military drills. The hasty work was actually quite effective. The days passed quickly as they were busy.
Today was the day that the Seven Evil Spirits had announced that they would attack Liaodong. Early in the morning, Li Yijie led everyone and waited at the city gate. Time passed slowly. It was an indescribable torment.
Everyone secretly gripped the weapons in their hands. They were afraid and hoped that the later they saw the God of Death, the better. On the other hand, they hoped that the battle would end quickly. Even if they died in battle, it would be better than waiting in fear. These two thoughts were rooted in everyone's heart. Even Li Yijie, Nangong Xue, and Master Tong Zhi, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, were disturbed by the oppressive atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, the battlefield was still quiet. There was not the slightest movement. Some of the more impatient people were impatient and said, "Why hasn't the Seven Evil Spirits come yet? Are they deliberately making us wait? " "Could it be that they are secretly scouting? Seeing our formation, they are afraid and are hiding far away?" "That's hard to say. How can trash like the Seven Evil Spirits be compared to us?" In reality, the louder these people shouted, the more nervous they were.
Li Yijie circulated his internal energy and said, "Everyone, do not lower your guard! Perhaps the Seven Malevolent Demons are deliberately late so that we will lower our guard and then launch a sneak attack. We can't fall into his trap. " Nangong Xue also said, "That's right. Everyone, you don't have to treat him as a martial arts master of the evil path. That devil has always been a despicable person. He won't talk about morality with anyone."
However, the two of them were no match for the many different opinions. In the end, they were powerless. Li Yijie secretly panicked. If the Seven Fiend Demons launched an attack at this time, he was afraid that the chaotic crowd would only become a group of ready-made live targets without any power to fight back.
Suddenly, two white-haired and white-bearded old men slowly walked up and sighed. It was only when he got closer that he heard clearly, "What a pain! What a pain! " Li Yijie did not know these two people's background, but seeing their imposing manner, he knew they were not ordinary. They even had a bit more sage-like demeanor than his Shifu. Perhaps he was like the original Manor Lord, an expert who lived in seclusion and rarely came out. If he could get more help, he would not refuse. He also stepped forward and bowed, saying politely, "Two seniors have come from afar …"
Li Yijie's guess was not wrong. These two people were indeed from the same clan as the original Manor Lord. They were the two Manor Lords Xia and Liu who were the first to escape from the Manor Lord. Nangong Xue had left long ago. During the ceremony, Li Yijie was completely unconscious, so no one recognized these two old men. Manor Lord Xia waved his hand and said casually, "Don't be so polite. We're not here to help you." His voice was loud and clear. His voice traveled far and at the same time, it shook everyone's eardrums. No matter how far they were, there was no exception.
Li Yijie's words were stuck in his throat. He was faintly unhappy. He was used to being the Wulin Alliance Master and was used to others being respectful to him. However, this old man dared to interrupt him in front of everyone and said that he was not here to help. Looking at their leisurely appearance, could it be that there was a bloody battle here and they were here to watch the show?
He suppressed his anger and said, "Two seniors, this is a dangerous place. I'm afraid that there will soon be a catastrophe. If the two of you want to pass through, please change to another path. Please forgive us for the inconvenience. "
He thought that his words were polite, but Manor Lord Xia did not appreciate it and said, "What? This path belongs to your family, so others can't use it? Do you want to collect fees for the passage? I'm old and my legs are not as nimble. You young people want me to take a long detour? I don't know what you're doing by standing here in a row and blocking the road. "
Li Yijie's anger surged. He did not know when he would have to fight with the Seven Evil Spirits. Any small change could affect his state of mind. Even his mood should be calm. It was not good to be angry. He wanted to retort, but in the end, he suppressed it.
Manor Lord Liu did not look at Li Yijie. He shook his head and walked to Nangong Xue, sizing her up. He crossed his arms and rubbed his chin with one hand. He clicked his tongue repeatedly, as if he had seen something strange. Nangong Xue felt as if she was being stared at by him. She took a big step back and called out, "Senior?" Her voice was suppressed. Everyone could hear the anger hidden in it.
Manor Lord Liu laughed strangely and said, "Oh, little girl, I recognize you. You're the new disciple of the Seven Evil Spirits, that … right, the new Right Guardian of the Blood Fiend Sect! But I heard that it was a mission given to you by Second Brother Ping, asking you to spy for him. Why? You haven't even completed your mission and you're already with the people of Martial Union? Could it be that you're here as a double spy? "Nangong Xue's body shook violently. She shouted," You … you're lying! "
Manor Lord Liu laughed coldly and said, "I'm lying? Who's the one lying through their teeth? Do you think that I won't recognize you now that you're wearing female clothes and long hair? When you dress up as a man, won't you still look like a playboy? You still want to have designs on Miss Ping? Why? Do you want to ask Young Master Blood Demon if you're the real deal? Or should I call Second Brother Ping to confront him and ask him if he gave you this mission? "
Nangong Xue's face was as pale as ash. She could hear the people around her pointing and discussing. They were more doubtful of her than sure. After all, Li Yijie did not have enough prestige. Moreover, she had rushed here covered in dust. Her origin was unknown. In this day and age, human skin masks were a common sight. Who could be sure that she was the real one?
When Li Yijie saw that Nangong Xue was being bullied and had a helpless and wronged expression, she immediately became angry. She did not care about the demeanor of an Alliance Master. She stepped forward and stood in front of her, saying, "Where did this old man come from? If you want to spout nonsense, you should at least take a good look at the situation. Since you're not here to help, nor are you just passing by, you must be the helper of the Seven Demons. Birds of a feather flock together. He's only worthy of finding help from lunatics like you! If you want to fight or kill, just come at me. How dare you treat a girl like this! "
Manor Lord Xia laughed coldly and said, "Young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered. What did you just say? Seven Demons? Bah, don't make people sick. We're not on the same side as him. How can that good-for-nothing order us around? How can he be above the noble Four Great Clans? "
When everyone heard the words "Four Great Clans", they were all shocked. In recent years, because of Yuan Yi, everyone was familiar with the Four Great Clans. They knew that the Four Great Clans had evolved from the Four Cities. They were extremely mysterious and powerful ancient clans. Who would have thought that these two seemingly crazy old men were actually involved with the Four Great Clans?
When standing up for someone, one had to see which side was stronger. If the situation was unclear, it would be wiser to keep one's mouth shut. Everyone abided by this principle and no one spoke again. It was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of a few people could be heard.
Li Yijie was extremely angry and said, "You weren't ordered by him to make things difficult for us? I can't see how noble the person who can say such shameless words is. If it weren't for the fact that we have important matters to attend to and don't have the leisure to bicker with you, I advise the two of you to stop before going too far. Don't take advantage of your seniority. "
Manor Lord Xia and Manor Lord Liu looked at each other and said, "I have no interest in who you want to deal with. As for the battle with the Seven Fiends brat, it is true, but you are interfering too much. You are no longer the alliance leader now. Let me ask you, what kind of status do you have to lead the entire situation? Everyone, I believe that you are all reputable people in the martial world of the Central Plains. Are you willing to be driven around by this imposter? "
Li Yijie said, "Ridiculous! I have been the alliance leader for more than a day or two. It is true that many people coveted the position, but none of them succeeded. In the end, I was the one who took the position. Who ordered you to come here and spout nonsense? If the Seven Fiends Demon wants to use this Gu to disrupt the morale of the army, his method is too despicable! "
Manor Lord Liu said, "Damn it! I told you long ago that we were not sent by the Seven Fiends brat. Are your ears for decoration? Yes, you have been in this position for more than a day or two, but you proposed to abdicate the position a day or two ago. In the reception hall of the Ping Manor, you invited all the guests and publicly said that because of your limited ability, you were not qualified for the position, so you wanted to abdicate the alliance leader position to the young master of the Ping Clan. So many pairs of ears were listening. It could not be that I made it up, right? There was no need for me to make up such a rumor, right? Now that you are regretting it, you swaggered back to the Martial Union and took advantage of the fact that the matter from a few days ago has not been spread out. You still want to be the alliance leader and wantonly give out orders? This title of the Martial Union Leader is not something you can throw away or pick up as you wish. Or maybe, you are worried that you will lose your position, so you purposely created this show to let everyone know how precious you are? "
Li Yijie said angrily, "Nonsense! What abdication of the alliance leader position! It was the wishful thinking of the Ping Clan father and daughter. I never agreed to it! "
Manor Lord Liu said, "You have two mouths, continue to cry injustice! The more pitiful you cry, the more sympathy you will attract from others. No matter what you say now, at the very least, that meeting is a fact that you cannot deny! Otherwise, hmph, everyone knows that the alliance leader token has always been the token of the Martial Union Leaders. Seeing the token is like seeing the person, and not having the token is like not having the person! Then, the Martial Union Leader, Hero Li Yijie, please take out that token and open everyone's eyes. Today, as long as we see the token, we will immediately turn around and leave. We will no longer make things difficult for you. Whoever dares to say another word will be the other party's son of a bitch. How about it? "
Li Yijie said angrily, "If you want to see it, then see it! The Alliance Leader's Token wasn't anything precious! But I did not do something that I did not do. Even if you ask me a hundred times, a thousand times, I will not admit to your lowly lies! "
He reached into his clothes to search, wanting to intimidate him. However, other than a few thin pieces of cloth, there was nothing else. His face immediately stiffened as he rummaged through his pockets once more. The token was originally on a tray, to be presented to Ping Ruoyu by a servant. Halfway through, Yuan Yi intervened and hit the token, sending it flying into the corner of the wall. Afterwards, the seawater poured in and washed it away to who knows where. Li Yijie did not know what had happened, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Nangong Xue saw his predicament and silently stood by his side. She quietly said, "It seems that the Ping Clan's old master still did not let you off, did he?" Li Yijie clenched his fists tightly. He said, "That's right. He knew that it would be difficult to persuade me, so he simply stopped negotiating with me. Instead, he directly drugged me with medicine and carried out that damned abdication ceremony!"
