Yuan Yi said, "As for how to deal with it, it will be up to Master to decide. However, the four great clans were already destroyed when the manor was flooded. What's left now is just an empty shell. The ones standing here are just four muddle-headed and incompetent old men. Do you still want to revive the glory of the four cities? Since you've fallen into the hands of these people, you can't think in the same direction, so you can't use your strength in the same direction. Sooner or later, you'll be digging your own grave. I don't think there's much hope. Giving them a quick end today is just following the Heavenly Dao. "
When the four manor masters heard Yuan Yi's words, they surprisingly didn't curse out loud. Instead, it was as if an alarm bell had rung in their hearts. In the past, the four cities were also harmonious on the outside, but each side was fighting to expand their power. However, at that time, there was a positive and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was fighting with each other, with the goal of improving themselves and benefiting each other.
When the four cities were divided internally, the four great clans lived in seclusion. Their ancestors had all experienced the good days of their heyday, so it was hard for anyone to accept the sudden decline. Thus, their ideals were distorted. All they wanted was to one day kill their way back to the Central Plains and regain their hegemony. This kind of thinking was already deeply rooted and was passed down from generation to generation.
It was fine if that was all, but the four manor masters worked hard to arm themselves. No one was willing to submit to the others. As a result, their descendants were busy trying to revitalize their family business. They did everything they could, forming cliques with the Central Plains people for personal gain and profit from the chaos. As for the other three clans, they would seize the opportunity to ruthlessly suppress them. In the end, the four great clans were one body. If one suffered, the other suffered. Under the internal strife, they gradually declined. Compared to the four cities, not only could they not be mentioned in the same breath, the difference was like heaven and earth. The root of this problem was due to greed and inadequacy.
The four were secretly praying in their hearts that they could survive this disaster. In the future, they would definitely respect and love each other with no more conflicts. However, although this dream was beautiful, who knew if they could safely survive today's disaster?
Nangong Xue thought of the promise she made to Ping Ruoyu. That weak and pitiful girl pretended to be domineering, but for the sake of her father, she was willing to beg him bitterly. He really didn't want to let her down, so he probed, "Let go of Manor Lord Ping. First of all, he has already decided to withdraw from Jianghu. Moreover, he is Shangguan Yaohua's father-in-law. If you kill him, how will you explain it to Prince Cheng? "
Jiang Liechen glanced at her with a faint smile, as if he was very surprised that she could make such a big joke. She said, "You are an interesting girl. You dare to use him to threaten me? But this time, you're still one step behind. After I kill all of you here, who will be the one who killed Manor Lord Ping? Who will be able to leak the news? "
The disciple who had been sent to fetch the hidden weapons had returned with a tray in his hand. On the tray were three shiny darts. These were the hidden weapons of the Kongtong Sect, the Plum Blossom Darts. They were one of the most vicious hidden weapons in the ranking list. Seeing the subtle changes in the situation, he couldn't help but stare blankly. He whispered, "Hierarch, do we still want to continue the game that we talked about with Alliance Head Li?"
Yuan Yi, who was listening on the side, laughed, "Oh? What kind of game is it? This subordinate loves to play the most. Perhaps I can give Master some ideas and come up with some new tricks. "Jiang Jianchen smiled faintly and said," Manor Lord Xia, aren't you very enthusiastic about this? Why don't you explain it to your nephew? "
Manor Lord Xia laughed dryly, "The rules are to change the position of the wooden stakes. Let Alliance Head Li blindfold himself and shoot three people to death. The last survivor will live. If anyone makes a sound and disturbs the process, then kill them immediately. "
Yuan Yi nodded, "This subordinate does have a good idea. If we let Alliance Head Li shoot randomly, maybe all three darts will hit nothing. That would be very boring. But with his current skill, he only needs to point out the general direction and it won't be difficult to make the target fall for it. Why don't we let the warm-hearted Mister Yuan stand on the side and tell him the direction and who he'll be facing? Let him choose who to shoot. I think Alliance Head Li will most likely want to save Miss Nangong. If Mister Yuan deliberately points the wrong way to save his brother, causing Alliance Head Li to mistakenly kill his sweetheart, then the enmity between them will be formed. But if Mister Yuan tells the truth, then it's the same as personally sending his three brothers to the guillotine. They will suffer endless torment for the rest of their lives. And Alliance Master Li, who is rumored to value friendship and righteousness, would he really be ruthless enough to kill three elders for his woman? "
Jiang Liechen had always been the kind of person who would be more excited if the rules were more vicious. After hearing Yuan Yi's suggestion, he praised it greatly, "Good! You're the quick-witted one. We'll do as you say. "The disciple carried the tray forward and let Li Yijie take the concealed weapon. Then he quickly retreated.
Manor Lord Liu saw this and became very anxious, "Yi 'er! You stupid worm! Don't you know the volcano is about to erupt? He's treating you very well right now, but when the time comes, he'll still turn hostile and throw you into the lava as a sacrifice! None of us here will be spared! "Yuan Yi's expression didn't change," So what? To be able to die for my master is my good fortune. "
Manor Lord Liu was furious when he heard this and cursed, "You little bastard who deserves to be chopped a thousand times. Do you get addicted to being someone else's pig or dog? I really don't know what kind of sin your ancestors committed to give birth to a bastard like you who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors. Your father has the misfortune of eight lifetimes … "Yuan Yi indifferently said," This person is noisy and annoying. I'll teach him a lesson later. "He pulled out a dagger and slowly walked towards Manor Lord Liu.
Manor Lord Liu was shocked, "Yi 'er, you can't do this kind of thing! He's still your uncle. Doing this is disgraceful and you'll be struck by lightning! "Yuan Yi sneered," What kind of uncle is he? He's just a sworn brother of eighteen generations of ancestors. In this generation, there's nothing to do with him. Besides, even if there's a so-called heavenly punishment, I'm not afraid. "
Manor Lord Xia's face was full of shame. He remembered that he had also said the words' sworn brother of ancestors' to Ping Ruoyu. He didn't think that when he said it himself, it would be so harsh to the ears.
Yuan Yi came to Manor Lord Liu's side and chopped down with his dagger. Immediately, blood splattered. After this chop, he acted as if nothing had happened and walked back to Jiang Liechen's side. He bowed and said, "Master, you may begin."
Jiang Liechen nodded and looked at the disciples behind Li Yijie. They were holding strips of cloth and were about to blindfold him. Just as he was enjoying the show, he suddenly felt his arm tighten. He didn't expect that someone would dare to sneak an attack on him. He turned to look and saw that Yuan Yi's hand was about to chop his elbow.
Jiang Liechen was shocked and angry. He was about to counterattack with his palm, but Yuan Yi had already made a move and blocked his attack. He quickly chopped down with his palms and turned around, twisting one of Jiang Liechen's arms from the side of his neck to his back. At the same time, he stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Liechen's neck, temporarily restraining his movements.
Jiang Liechen hadn't recovered from this sudden turn of events. He angrily said, "What's the meaning of this?" His mind raced like lightning and he finally understood what was going on. He said, "You didn't lose consciousness? Then why did you stay by my side and pretend to be my puppet? "
Yuan Yi sneered, "If I didn't do this, how could I get first-hand information?" He turned his head and called out, "Alliance Master Li, the force on the thin thread is evenly distributed, making it difficult to exert force. If you can find a place where the force is concentrated, exert the same amount of force and chop down with your saber, you'll be able to break it. " Li Yijie still hadn't adapted to Yuan Yi's sudden change from an enemy to an ally. He stared blankly for half a day before raising his hand to touch the thin thread, trying to find a place to break through.
Jiang Liechen sighed inwardly. "I didn't expect that my puppet technique would fail," he said, "I was too careless."
"No," Yuan Yi said, "At first, I was indeed under your control. But after killing several people, perhaps it was because my body instinctively rejected you, my consciousness was awakened. In order to achieve a surprise effect, I kept my composure on the surface and stayed by your side, waiting for the final moment. " Seeing that Li Yijie had already freed Nangong Xue and the three manor masters, he called out, "Alliance Master Li, now is the time!"
At this time, Yuan Yi's absurd actions made sense. He pretended to give Jiang Liechen advice and used the trick of injuring himself to deal with Manor Master Liu, all in order to please Jiang Liechen and make him lower his guard. On the other hand, he wanted Li Yijie to obtain the secret weapons. Presumably, the weapons Jiang Liechen used to deal with his enemies must be extremely powerful. Li Yijie regained his composure and aimed the three Plum Blossom Darts at Jiang Liechen from the top, middle and bottom.
Jiang Liechen was extremely angry. He stretched his other hand to Yuan Yi's neck and used the 'Separating Tendon Dislocating Bone Hand' technique to strike the joints on his arm. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he pushed Yuan Yi's arm away and turned around to evade. His head tilted and his feet bounced up, narrowly avoiding two darts. However, time was of the essence. He couldn't avoid the middle dart and it hit his shoulder.
Jiang Liechen angrily glared at his wound. He clenched his fists and his internal energy surged. He suddenly flicked the dart away, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Looking at his shoulder, his clothes had been corroded to pieces. The exposed area was only his skeleton, which had been dyed black. It was obvious that the poison had corroded his bones. Despite this extreme pain, Jiang Liechen only grunted. He didn't lift his hand to treat his wound. He only focused on facing the enemy in front of him. It was obvious that even if he wanted to treat his wound, Li Yijie and the others wouldn't give him the chance.
Yuan Yi was shocked to see such a shocking injury. Although he had traveled Jianghu and had seen many things, he had never heard of such a fierce secret weapon. He frowned and said, "That Plum Blossom Dart … what kind of poison did you add?"
As soon as Jiang Liechen heard him ask about the poison, he forgot about the wound on his body. Instead, his face was filled with excitement. He said in a deep voice, "Seven Evils Severing Love and Death – the most poisonous poison in the world!" Yuan Yi sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "You want to use this kind of poison to deal with Miss Nangong and the others? This is what it means to harm others and harm yourself instead. "He sighed and turned around to look at Li Yijie.
Jiang Liechen coldly laughed and said, "So what? They are … people who deserve to die. Humph, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This little poison can't kill me. "He suddenly struck out with his palm. Li Yijie saw it clearly and called out," Be careful! " Yuan Yi did not wait for his warning. He quickly turned around and exchanged a palm with Jiang Liechen. They both took a step back and said, "Of course I know you won't die from poison. Otherwise, you wouldn't be worthy to be my opponent."
Jiang Liechen's vision blurred. The poison of the Severing Love and Death was indeed unusual. Sometimes even he felt dizzy. In a daze, he remembered the day he met Yuan Yi. At that time, he was also seriously injured and was recuperating in a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain. Yuan Yi happened to be there. Separated by a stone pillar in the temple, the two of them exchanged pointers, but neither of them was able to see the other's face. Inwardly he forced a smile and said, "In our martial art match, if you weren't distracted, the outcome would have been hard to predict."
"That's right," Yuan Yi said, "The two of us were having a martial art match, but you used an innocent person's life to threaten me. If I really ignored her, I don't doubt you would have killed her." "Yes," Jiang Liechen said, "That was a martial art match. Only the heartless can win. You lost that round because you had some misgivings and were tied down by them … "
Yuan Yi said, "I've never felt that losing that match was a pity. On the contrary, in my eyes, unscrupulous people who use everything to their advantage are the truly lamentable ones. When you thought you had won the martial art match, you had already lost the most basic moral principle. "
With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said, "Until now, you still want to talk about moral principle with me. Don't you think it's too ridiculous? I once thought you were my only confidant. Turns out you are just one of the millions of hypocrites in the secular world. Consider me wrong. "
