Ever since his debut, Jiang Liechen had never submitted to anyone like this. Watching An Yesun leave, his heart was filled with sorrow. Conquering the world with martial arts was easy, but maintaining brotherhood and capturing a beauty's heart was harder than ascending to the heavens. It would be impossible for them to see each other again in the future. He only wanted to make sure the two left safely, so he followed them to the secret prison. Afterwards, An Yesun took Chu Menglin to the Sword Ceremony Hall. Jiang Liechen also followed behind. Because of his profound internal energy, he held his breath so that no one noticed.
Afterwards, he heard Chu Menglin's plan to kill two birds with one stone. It was undeniable that it was very clever. Normally, no matter how dissatisfied An Yesun was with him, he would not frame him for no reason. Because once an arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Other than framing him, there was no other way. An Yesun did not consider him as a friend, so how could he be willing to be the scapegoat for his competitor and destroy his own future? Thinking back, his heart was filled with coldness. He did not know whether he should sigh or not. For a long time, he had successfully played the role of the "bad guy" so that Chu Menglin could not forget him and was determined to kill him. Of course it would be easy to stop her, but it would cause the three of them to fall into a vortex of distress. Moreover, recently he was tired of meddling in other people's business. He did not want to add another crime to Chu Menglin's list of crimes against him.
It must be known that the greatest sorrow in life was not being able to predict the future. If he had known earlier that Chu Menglin's departure meant that the two sides would be separated forever, would he have thought otherwise? After silently waiting for her to leave, he returned to the Sword Ceremony Hall. He struck An Yesun on the back of his neck, knocking him out on the spot. Then he carried him back to the Hall of Fallen Heavens Hall and laid him down on the bed. Suddenly he had an idea. He stuffed a wine bottle into An Yesun's hand, hinting that he was also drunk last night and that what happened was just a dream. Sighing, he walked into the hall and looked up. The blue dome of the sky was as dark as ink, and the moon was as bright as a hook.
The next day, before the auspicious hour arrived, all the disciples gathered at the back of the mountain to practice martial arts as usual. When An Yesun saw Jiang Liechen again, he could not help feeling extremely embarrassed, so much so that he did not even know where to put his hands. He was a smart man; when he woke up, he realized that he was back in his room. When he saw the wine bottle in his hand, he knew that it must be Jiang Liechen's masterpiece. In other words, naturally Jiang Liechen must have seen how he lost face in front of Chu Menglin last night. Jiang Liechen had always had a clear understanding of everything, but he liked to pretend to be slow to realize it, to use words to lead the conversation, to enjoy the other side's play in front of him, and to take pleasure in it. If right now he asked a half-truth, half-lie, 'Why are you still here? She did not fly inseparably with Menglin? "Indeed, she would be too ashamed to show her face. She might as well jump down from the top of the mountain to seek death. But now that he saw Jiang Liechen walking around to supervise the martial arts practice, he occasionally glanced at Jiang Liechen from the corner of his eyes, just like before, he did not show the least bit of abnormality.
An Yesun was grateful, but if he wanted to concentrate on practicing martial arts, he was not in the mood to do so. Walking to the side alone, he raised his chi and leaped up. While his body was still in the air, the soles of his feet stepped on a tree trunk. This was a habitual move that he had practiced a hundred times; even if he closed his eyes, he would not make a mistake. To his surprise, as soon as his foot landed, he did not manage to exert any strength, instead, he slid down the tree bark. When he raised his chi again, he felt a stuffiness in his chest. Waving his hand randomly, he grabbed a branch that stretched horizontally. Before he could rejoice, he heard a 'crack!' as the branch broke. In the past, when he used his internal energy, his body was as light as a swallow; even if he grabbed a willow branch, it would not be as heavy as this. Much less his' qing gong 'was outstanding, he could climb mountains and cross country as if he was walking on flat ground. Why would he need to rely on something else? His whole body fell down rapidly. Fortunately, he did not jump too high, so he was not seriously injured.
He was already depressed, and after this fall, he became even more disheartened. For a moment he thought that not only was his internal energy 'reduced', it was almost completely gone. For a moment he thought that no matter what he did, he would never be able to tie the knot with Chu Menglin. Even if his martial arts were peerless, it would not be interesting at all. Nowadays, what was there in the world that was worth regretting?
His thoughts became more and more negative, he gradually gave up on himself. Jiang Liechen was also paying close attention to An Yesun's situation. He did not believe that a blood vessel blockage would cause him to lose all his martial arts. Presumably, it was his heart that was causing trouble. While passing by a disciple's height and position, he conveniently walked behind An Yesun and placed a finger on his' jianjing 'acupoint. An Yesun suddenly felt a stream of' zhen qi 'entering his body. He could not help but cross his arms and turn his palms outward.' Bang! 'a large tree about a zhang away fell down. This internal energy only appeared for a moment, and then it disappeared without a trace. An Yesun's heart was filled with dejection. He angrily turned around and said, "You …" After a short pause he continued, "I …" Whatever he wanted to say turned into a sigh and disappeared into nothingness.
Jiang Liechen bent down slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't make any noise. The Hierarch is watching from behind. Don't let him blame you for slacking off."
An Yesun was startled. He also said in a low voice, "You have always been in charge of the training field. He rarely comes here personally. How come today …" Jiang Liechen said, "Who knows what's wrong with that old thing's brain? When we perform the ceremony, I did not want him to attend the ceremony."
An Yesun heard Jiang Liechen calmly say the three words' perform the ceremony ', as if when the auspicious time arrived, he would really be able to perform the ceremony with Chu Menglin. He was even more confused. His heart was slightly moved. He vaguely guessed that Jiang Liechen was trying to protect his face by deliberately writing off last night's disturbance and acting as if it never happened. But if he did not want to be the only one who knew the truth, he would have no one to complain to.
Jiang Liechen continued, "If you train with the 'Chasing Star Style', he won't be able to see it." An Yesun understood tacitly. He sprang his legs and jumped up. Following the set of moves in the secret manual, he only put on a proper stance for each stance. After all, he had a deep foundation in martial arts, so each stance was natural and there was no sign that he was faking it. But when he saw the Hierarch coming closer, he was so nervous that his forehead broke out in cold sweat. Normally he would think of every possible way to show off his martial arts in front of the Hierarch. But right now he was hoping that he would remain unknown and never show off. Or perhaps he would simply become an invisible person. Lost in thought, his two palms crossed. Suddenly he felt a 'zhen qi' attack. Unconsciously he wanted to circulate his internal energy to resist. But then he felt that this force did not have any malicious intent. It seemed to be some kind of 'zhen qi transfer'.
From the side he could see that the two people's arms were surrounded by qi, as if they were competing with their internal energy. The Hierarch slowly walked over. Suddenly his palm struck An Yesun's back. An Yesun was shocked. He thought he had been exposed and was going to be killed on the spot. Suddenly he heard the Hierarch shout, "An Yesun, don't withdraw your hand. Let the Hierarch test your martial arts." Immediately afterwards a vigorous and overbearing internal energy poured in like a flood, toppling the mountains and overturning the seas. Unexpectedly it was using his own internal organs as a conduit. Even though it was difficult for the two people to circulate their internal energy freely, most of the danger had been transferred to An Yesun's body to avoid the risk of a backlash. But now he had to bear twice the impact. Even in the past he would not be able to withstand it, let alone now that he had lost all his internal energy. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. His lungs were burning, his five internal organs felt like they were burning. He wanted to open his mouth to shout, but unexpectedly he was in so much pain that he lost his voice.
After a while, his condition improved slightly. A stream of qi seemed to be guiding the other, rushing and colliding with his limbs and bones, opening up his blocked meridians. He immediately felt refreshed. His internal energy naturally rose from his dantian to counterattack. Jiang Liechen had already quietly withdrawn his palm energy. The Hierarch was caught off guard and his palm was bounced back an inch. His internal energy counterattacked and his chest could not help but feel stuffy. But he was not angry. Instead he said happily, "Very good! Your internal energy has improved greatly again. "He patted An Yesun's shoulder and laughed," Yun 'er is still slightly inferior. "
He wanted to adjust the qi in his body, so when he struck out his palm, he concealed his internal energy. An Yesun's internal energy had just recovered. His legs went soft from the pressure and his knees caved in. He was quick-witted and pretended to bow to show his gratitude, "Yes, thank you Hierarch for your guidance." Then he took a step to the side and escaped from the Hierarch's hand. The Hierarch did not pay attention to this small detail and asked Jiang Liechen as a matter of routine, "How's your practice today?"
Jiang Liechen said, "Everyone's progress is good. The 'Cloud-flipping Lightning Sword Technique' is generally at the end. Those who have made rapid progress have already begun to practice the 'Hunyuan Manual'. I believe that there will be some results in a few days." The Hierarch nodded and said, "Good, very good." The cold lines on his face finally seemed to soften a little.
At this moment, a disciple ran over from afar, frantically rolling and crawling, shouting, "Hierarch, Hierarch, not good …" An Yesun's heart tightened. He knew that he would be exposed sooner or later, but he did not expect it to be so soon. But he hoped to delay it for as long as possible. He hurriedly said, "Hierarch, everything is fine. What are you shouting for? Why haven't you left yet? "
The disciple said, "Reporting to the Hierarch, small …" Jiang Liechen said, "Turn big things into small things, small things into nothing. Don't you have the ability to adapt? Go and deal with it yourself. Leave quickly! " The Hierarch heard something strange and said, "Wait a moment. What is it? Tell me the truth. Don't hide anything." The disciple took a deep breath and stammered, "Reporting to the Hierarch, it's the Young Miss … the Young Miss has disappeared …"
Jiang Liechen did not wait for the Hierarch's response. He quickly pretended to be extremely anxious and asked, "What? You prison guards, do you still want to live? How can a person disappear right under your nose? The time is still short. She can't have gone far. Why haven't you searched nearby? If you miss my wedding, bring your heads to me! "
An Yesun did the same and said to the disciples who were still in a daze, "The Young Miss is still wearing iron shackles on her feet. Perhaps she is still hiding in the church, waiting for you to rush outside and take the opportunity to escape. Search all the halls carefully! "
The disciples agreed and left. Jiang Liechen wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. He said, "Subordinate and Hall Leader Yun will also search." Just as he took half a step, the Hierarch coldly shouted, "Stop. From nothing to something, you immediately agreed. You accept the sudden news quite quickly. It's not your style to believe people easily without in-depth analysis. You didn't even ask when she disappeared and said the time was short. Humph, besides, I know you will never vent your anger on your subordinates for no reason. Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you will not panic. "
Jiang Liechen was speechless for a moment. The Hierarch put on a serious face and said, "Don't act in front of me. It was Yun 'er who let her go. You cared about the code of brotherhood and covered for her. Do you think I can't see through it?" Jiang Liechen made up his mind and said, "Subordinate didn't want to marry her at first. I only thought of it as doing a good deed and let her go. Now that I think about it, it's dangerous. She knows too many secrets of our sect. Once she falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Subordinate will go and chase her back. "
The Hierarch waved his hand and said, "No need. It's better not to have such a rebellious daughter! Let her fend for herself outside. That's good too. It saves us a lot of trouble. "Jiang Liechen tried to change the topic and said," Hierarch, is there something unresolved? "
The Hierarch said, "Yes. Our sect has recently lost several territories. A few days ago, the imperial court announced that they would attack the Nanchang branch. Leader Qian received the news and led people to reinforce them. Unexpectedly, they fell for the diversion tactic. As soon as they left, the soldiers took over the Changsha branch. That little Emperor is still wet behind the ears. Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers. She's really pissed me off! "Anye Yun said," Maybe the Emperor has an expert guiding her. She has a deep grudge against our sect … "
Jiang Liechen calmly stopped him and said, "It's all hearsay, we shouldn't believe it easily." The Hierarch muttered to himself, "That's right. That young Emperor's knowledge is limited, she can't calculate to this extent. But the current Manchurian Qing rulers are all Taizu's direct descendants. Which one of them has this kind of ability? Who could it be? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Subordinate is willing to go to the capital to investigate clearly." The Hierarch stared at him and said, "Asking you to investigate this matter is really a waste of talent. Yun 'er will go. Zhen Zhe has another task for you. A few days ago I received Li Duozhu's urgent message. A group of people fell into an ambush in Nanchang and fell into a bitter battle. Right now their ammunition and provisions are exhausted. They are like caged beasts fighting. In the blink of an eye they won't be able to hold on. Quickly take the Afterimage Sword and kill the enemy troops! "
