Everyone was in an uproar, trying to persuade the Alliance Master to be at ease. There were also people who talked at once about all the big and small happenings in the city. Li Yijie listened with a frown and a smile on his face from time to time. Suddenly, someone said, "Alliance Master, only half a month has passed. There's still a long way to go before the three-month deadline you mentioned. Are you still going to go out and cultivate? "This question attracted many people's agreement.
Li Yijie said, "Everyone, don't worry. After I come back this time, I won't leave again. It's all thanks to Xueer that I understand what's the most important thing in a struggle. If I'm not careful on the way, I'll easily lose myself. If I can stand firm and see the way forward, I won't need to resort to trickery. In the end, I'll be able to triumph over everything! We should all be grateful to her! "
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Nangong Xue. She was so embarrassed that she waved her hands and said, "I … I'm not that good. It's the Alliance Master who thought it through. "Li Yijie said," If not for you, how could I have thought it through? We must give this merit to her! "Everyone loved to join in the fun, so they all applauded.
Another person said, "Hey, Alliance Master, why is this little demon here? I don't think he's good at anything else, but he's good at causing trouble. Moreover, I heard that he was the former Vice Hierarch of the Demon Sect. How can our Martial Union take in such a sinister person? "Nangong Xue rolled her eyes and accepted the criticism of the crowd without a care in the world. At this moment, she didn't look like a demon from the Demon Sect at all, but a playful and spoiled child.
Li Yijie stopped them and said, "Everyone, I know you might have misunderstood him in the past. However, it doesn't mean that a person can't repent after going astray for a while. Take myself for example. Not long ago, my heart was leaning towards the path of darkness. Although Xueer played a part in me waking up in time, Nangong Xue also played a part in it. I am willing to guarantee that he has no malice towards us. I hope that everyone can be honest and accept him. "The crowd was still not completely convinced, and many pairs of suspicious eyes were still sizing up Xuan Shuang.
Li Yijie said, "The most important thing now is how to deal with the Seven Malevolent Demons. None of you have seen it with your own eyes, so you don't know how destructive a demon's power is. It's completely different from ordinary martial arts masters. If they wanted to deal with him, it would be impossible to do so without using some extreme methods. I wonder if anyone … has any good suggestions? "
One of them smiled and said, "We'll have to ask Elder Qian about that. Before Meng Zhu left, he came up with a plan that might be able to deal with the Seven Malevolent Demons. "Li Yijie was greatly delighted." Please tell me, "he said.
Qian Yu swaggered forward. He recalled that a few days ago, he had been ridiculed by the Xuan Shuang in front of several disciples. He had lost all face, so he took this opportunity to redeem himself. He smiled and said, "Actually, this plan of mine isn't that strange. The Alliance Master was a straightforward and upright person. Who knew if he would take a liking to him. Didn't the Seven Malevolent Demons have superstitious beliefs about ghosts and gods? This time he managed to escape death, so he must think that he is a person who has been blessed by the Heavens. He believes that the heavenly fire can refine all living things; nothing could be better than that. He said that this fellow is formidable because he possesses the Seven Malevolent Treasures. We'll spread a rumor outside, saying that as long as he throws all seven treasures into the mouth of the volcano and offers them as sacrifices, he will be able to see his most beloved one. We've already heard that he was entangled with the Devil Cult's demoness, Chu Menglin. When the time comes, we'll find someone to pretend to be that stinky girl, coquettishly seductive in front of him, throw herself into his arms, say some flirtatious words of love, and take advantage of the moment when his mind is the most relaxed to stab him in the back. Naturally we'll have to do something to the blade. Speaking of highly toxic poisons, our brothers have traveled far and wide. Although the ones we've collected are not as good as Duan Qing Shang's, they can still kill people as soon as they touch them. This little bit of poison won't kill him, but suddenly being betrayed by the woman he loves, other than the heartache, his guard will be lowered by several levels. Alliance Master, you'll lead everyone to lie in ambush at the side. Seize this moment, we'll surround and attack with all our strength. I don't believe that the entire Martial Union's strength can't take care of him. "
Xuan Shuang crossed his arms and sneered, saying, "It's still this old and rotten idea. To think that you still have the nerve to mention it to Alliance Master."
Qian Yu ignored him and said, "Alliance Master, what do you think?" Li Yijie muttered, "If we move both sides to the island, we can avoid the chaos of war in the Central Plains. It's a good idea. However, the Seven Malevolent Demons are ambitious and ruthless. We can set up schemes and traps, but we shouldn't use such despicable methods. That would be an unfair victory. I definitely won't take advantage of his feelings and lie to him. Moreover, Menglin has been dead for eight years. Treating her like this would be too disrespectful. "
Qian Yu said, "You were the one who said that extraordinary times call for extraordinary methods. If we don't start by messing with his mind, with our current strength, how can we be sure of winning against him? Don't tell me that you're willing to sacrifice everyone's lives just to show respect to him and that witch? "
Li Yijie still felt that it was inappropriate and said, "If we really follow this plan, won't that girl pretending to be Menglin die without a doubt? I definitely won't do something like casually sacrificing other people's lives. "
Qian Yu said anxiously, "Alliance Master, in order to succeed, there must be sacrifices. It all depends on whether you're willing to sacrifice one person or a group of people. I've already told my daughter. When she heard that we're working for Alliance Master, she agreed immediately. Quickly go and bring Ah Yan up. " A girl answered and stepped forward. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had changed into a clean set of clothes. Her features were delicate and pretty, and she wore a bit of makeup. She looked quite similar to Chu Menglin.
Li Yijie might have some misgivings, but as the Alliance Master, he still had to consider the big picture. He sighed and said, "This girl has a deep sense of righteousness. I, Li Yijie, represent the entire Wulin world to thank you. Let's do it this way: we'll wait for a few more days. If we still don't have a good plan, we'll do as Qian Zhanglao said. However, a wild beast who has been shot by an arrow will be even more hysterical because of the pain from the wound. He will be anxious to destroy everything he sees, so that all the people and animals will be buried with him. At that time, he will be in the most danger. We can only seize that moment to catch him off guard, but we won't be able to seriously injure him. Therefore, although we must fight for the first opportunity, if our own strength cannot keep up, we won't talk about it. In the two and a half months before the battle, we must eliminate all distracting thoughts and do our best in the martial art training field. Midway, I will patrol the field and give you some pointers. Only in this way may you have a chance to survive in the future. In this way, only one person can train the Sect's martial art. People from different schools do not need to hide anything. Everybody can wander around the field and exchange pointers with each other. If the Sect has a top-secret formation, I would like to ask everybody to take it out and demonstrate the entire set in front of me, explaining the essence and the profound mysteries of the formation. Friends, please don't worry. I have no intention of prying into the secrets of the Sect. I only want to gather the strength of all those who are of the same mind in one place at this critical juncture. If Wulin Union is destroyed, the Central Plains will fall into the hands of the Evil Demons. At that time, will there still be any distinction between Sects? I'm afraid all the top martial arts of each school will be useless. Which is more important, I ask everybody to consider carefully. "
A Kunlun Sect disciple said, "There's no need to consider. Aren't we diligently practicing martial arts so that one day, we can have this opportunity to realize our grand ambitions? No matter what Alliance Head Li said, everyone would just do as he said. I've long felt that the Righteous Path is one family under the heavens. Why should we cling to the view of Sects? We can use this opportunity to sweep away this ancient evil in one fell swoop. It's really wonderful. "
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that Qian Yu's preposterous words were still being praised by everybody. He couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and said, "Alliance Head Li, this little girl also has a suggestion. I hope everybody will be magnanimous enough to forgive." Tang Yuancheng's face stiffened. He knew that she would definitely say something that would shock the world. At this time, everyone's emotions were stirred up. It had always been said that trouble came from the mouth. One wrong move and he would invite trouble onto himself. He anxiously pulled on her sleeve, but Cheng Jiaxuan ignored him. She shook off his hand and walked directly to the open space in the middle of the field.
Li Yijie was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Cheng Jiaxuan would have the heart to help him in this matter. But when it came to listening to suggestions, at this critical moment, he would never refuse. He said, "There's no harm in saying it."
Cheng Jiaxuan gathered her courage and said, "Alliance Head Li, my only request is that you spare his life. Is that alright?" She knew that saying such disgraceful words in front of so many people would cause her to be condemned, or even dismembered, but even if she could plead for mercy on his behalf, she would still feel gratified in her heart.
As expected, Li Yijie's face immediately darkened. At the same time, the field was abuzz with discussion. It must be known that the reason they had been fighting for so long was to think of a way to kill the Seven Fiends Demons. Listening to her, she actually wanted to do the exact opposite.
Tang Yuancheng quickly stepped forward and said, "Alliance Head, fellow Taoists, Xiao Xuan's meaning is that the Heavens have the virtue of cherishing all living things. Even if the main culprit is killed, the people who were once killed will not be able to come back to life. If the Seven Fiends Demons have the heart to repent, why must we make things difficult for him? Why don't we let him off this time and let him feel grateful? Perhaps in the future he will be a great help to our Wulin Union. Oftentimes, if you want to subdue someone and make them willingly surrender from the bottom of their heart, it is far more effective than killing them. At the same time, we can build up Alliance Head Li's reputation of being magnanimous in Jianghu. Perhaps there are a lot of rebels who stubbornly resist because they are worried that if they become prisoners of war, they will not be forgiven by the world. If we can set this precedent, even people like the Seven Fiends Demons, who are full of evil, can be forgiven, they themselves will not be a problem. For their own sake, they will naturally pledge their allegiance. Therefore, Xiao Xuan's suggestion can be considered a brilliant move. "
Li Yijie nodded. He also knew that Tang Yuancheng wanted to smooth things over for Cheng Jiaxuan, but he did not want to expose him. He said, "That's true. Xiao Xuan, it's hard for you to think so far ahead. "
This matter should have been resolved just like that, but Cheng Jiaxuan was not happy. He said, "Alliance Head Li, I'm not only talking about dealing with the aftermath. Even if he loses to you … I know that the possibility of this is very low. But we have to be careful in everything, especially that shameless Twin Swords Combination … Even if he really loses, please spare him. Don't talk about crippling his martial arts. You are also a martial artist, you should know that cultivation is not easy. For him to have the martial arts he has today, he has also gone through countless difficulties. If he were to be crippled, it would be too much of a pity … "
Li Yijie's smile froze on his face. Tang Yuancheng was also shocked and frightened. However, he didn't know how to defend her on her behalf. Xuan Shuang laughed coldly and said, "I've never seen such a shameless person. You haven't even gotten an inch yet, and you want to take a yard? "
Cheng Jiaxuan was really going to go all the way. He threw caution to the wind and said, "Actually, this is not what I really want to say. Isn't the reason why he is making an enemy out of us because Martial Arts Union's existence is hindering his ambitions and hindering him from further ruling the martial arts world and becoming the most powerful person in the world? We know that we are no match for him, so why do we have to hit a stone with an egg? Wouldn't it be better to just rely on him? Those who can achieve great things are not people who haggle over minor matters. Everyone bowed their heads to him, so he probably could understand. No matter how angry you are, you can't blame him. You can find a few people to kill to show your loyalty to him. In this way … the righteous and evil paths will become one family. Both sides … will be at peace, and there will be no more disputes. Isn't this … turning weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk? You can also consider the big picture. "
