Nangong Xue took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. She said softly, "I know that you're Alliance Master Li, the person who is responsible for the safety of the world. You're a great hero who is revered by millions, but you're not just my husband. I can't selfishly keep you. Even if I advise you not to go, you won't listen. Your life is destined to be dedicated to the people. I don't dare to ask you to defeat the Seven Demons. I only want … to beg you not to abandon me. Between the two of us, whether we live or die, I want to be with you. If you die, I won't live alone. I'd rather follow you to the Yellow Springs! But … but I really hope that we can live. Recently, in my repeated fears, my mind often pictured a peaceful village far away from the Jianghu. Nearby, there's a continuous stretch of green mountains, a green lake, a cool breeze, and warm sunlight. We are an ordinary couple. You are working in the field, and the crops are growing very well. There are patches of green wheat that stretch as far as the eye can see … When the wind blows, they will rustle, as if they are bowing and nodding to you. When it's harvest time, we'll taste the fruits of our labor. And I … I'll weave cloth in my room, weaving all kinds of patterns. Every month, I'll bring them to the market to sell. The people love my craft, and I can sell them for a good price every time. After returning to our room, we'll count the banknotes in our hands and laugh. Seeing each other so satisfied, even showing the joy of a child …
Yes, yes, we'll definitely have children around us. I don't want too many children, noisy and noisy. I only want a son and a daughter. The boy is handsome, and the girl is delicate. That's enough. They'll follow behind us and call us daddy and mummy in their soft voices. You'll teach your son martial arts, and I'll teach my daughter needlework. Our family will gather around the dining table and talk about the harvest of the day. You said that your son learned another set of long punches, and I said that my daughter embroidered a new pattern. Our family … will always be together. When we're free, we'll invite our friends over and teach our children how to read and write from a distance. We'll play chess with Yuan Gongzi in our room … There's not a day that I don't dream of living such a life. I'm so scared … so scared that this is just a dream. After waking up from the dream, there's nothing left … "
Li Yijie's heart ached when he heard this. He suddenly pulled Nangong Xue into his arms and repeatedly said, "I promise you, we'll all live on, we'll all live well together! When everything is over, if we are both safe, I will marry you and give you the most perfect wedding. Your dreams will come true one day. We have to live, we have to live! "
Nangong Xue didn't say anything. She just put her arms around Li Yijie's back. This time, the two of them did not kiss. They only pressed their foreheads against each other in silence, listening to each other's heartbeat and exchanging their feelings. But it was filled with tenderness and reluctance, endless hatred and bitterness, and a few melancholy. Under the setting sun, this pair of figures hugging each other became the most beautiful scene on the city wall. Yuan Yi and the others stood at the foot of the city wall and looked up, but no one came forward to disturb them.
On the last day of the three-month period, the curtains slowly came to an end in silence. At night, Li Yijie led the Wulin Union members and rushed to the seaside. Originally, for this large scale operation, according to their style, they should have prepared a large passenger ship as a show of extravagance, but Li Yijie did not want to be too ostentatious, and secondly, he wanted to take the enemy by surprise. He ordered his subordinates to prepare several small boats and quietly set out to sea.
The last time he went to the volcano, it was Jiang Liechen who invited him to watch his "Rebirth Ceremony". At that time, he was under the enemy's surveillance. Thinking about the unknown road ahead, he panicked. This time, he was surrounded by his own men and horses. Logically speaking, he should be the one with the advantage in numbers. But not only did the panic in his heart not decrease, it increased by a hundredfold. He sat at the bow of the boat with Nangong Xue, hands clasped together, looking at the turbulent sea and the undulating waves in front of him. As the boat sailed, his emotions fluctuated.
Everybody hoped that this trip would be short, but they also hoped that at the final juncture, they would wait a little longer. After all, even a slow-witted person would know that the current situation was critical. Perhaps what they were seeing now would also be the last thing they would see in their lives.
One after another, the small boats anchored at the shore. Li Yijie waited until everybody was ashore before ordering the wooden boats to sink into the water and not leave any trace. He, the original Zhuangzhu and Yuan Yi had just arrived at this island not long ago. They had carefully explored the terrain, so they had a better understanding of it than ordinary people. He ordered everybody to line up in a long line, slowly circling around the island, while others went into the forest to set up traps.
The night wind was exceptionally cold, blowing across everybody's face like a sharp blade. Less than half a year had passed, but the weeds around the mountain range had already grown to waist height. As soon as they entered the underbrush, Li Yijie led everybody to spread out in all directions and crouched down in their designated positions. Sometimes there would be mosquitoes circling around their faces, buzzing incessantly.
Everybody was on high alert, so they did not even have time to wave their hands to swat away the mosquitoes. They were also afraid that if the 'Seven Malevolent Demon' arrived, even a small movement would cause a noise in the underbrush and he would be able to see through their tracks. It was a small matter if one person was exposed, but it would be a big matter if everybody was implicated. Once their plan was exposed, they would lose the decisive opportunity. Perhaps Jiang Liechen would not believe the rumor of the sacrificial ceremony, and then they would have no hope of winning. But everybody's anxiety had long surpassed the pain of being bitten by mosquitoes.
The moonlight was low, the ground was shrouded in darkness. Tonight was indeed the best time to launch a sneak attack. Nobody knew how many hours had passed, but there was still no movement on the mountain path. Wudang Pai's Jie Yan said in a low voice, "Brother Li, do you think the 'Seven Malevolent Demon' will really come?"
Li Yijie also said in a low voice, "He is not a man who goes back on his word. Since he made an agreement with me, he won't break it halfway. Besides, he wants to kill me, how could he miss this golden opportunity? "" That's right, "Yuan Yi said," He will definitely come. But I don't know if Qian Zhanglao's plan will work. How much of his love for Miss Chu is real? "
Li Yijie said, "If it was before, he really did love Menglin with all his heart. Treasures are merely worldly possessions, he won't care about them at all. But now … he has turned into a demon, he has lost his human nature. It's hard for me to say. But no matter what, we must not be impatient, we must not lose our footing. Right now it's not the appointed time yet, we must rush here in the middle of the night, precisely to seize the opportunity. Since he has not come, it means that our plan has succeeded, so it's not a bad thing. "
Ah Yan was crouching in the underbrush. Her face was covered with a human skin mask, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably. Qian Yu pressed her shoulder and said, "Good daughter, are you afraid?" Ah Yan resisted the urge to shake her head. "No," she said, "This is for Father and Li Meng Zhu. I won't hesitate to be hacked to pieces, Daughter is not afraid."
Qian Yu sighed. "Good child, good child," he said, "This time I have no choice but to sacrifice you. Father has let you down. But we will definitely kill the Seven Malevolent Demons to avenge you. If you continue to tremble like this, be careful that you will expose yourself in front of him. "Ah Yan bit her lip, trying her best to suppress her trembling.
After several more hours, there were already people who could not hold on any longer, their eyelids half open and half closed. Qian Yu knocked the back of a disciple who was dozing off with his staff and said in a low voice, "Guard him well! Are you the only one who has a problem? "Li Yijie said in a low voice," No, if he's really too tired, let him sleep first. It's most important that he has enough energy. If his condition is not good, even if he faces the Seven Malevolent Demons head on, he won't have any chance of winning. "Qian Yu sighed." Ay, forget it, forget it. In any case, he's just mud that can't support a wall! "
Yuan Yi used the 'Secret Sound Transmission' skill to speak to everyone present, "Li Meng Zhu has instructed that if everyone is tired, they should rest for the time being. Don't force yourself. We will arrange for people to keep watch at night. When the battle starts, we will inform everyone in time. Don't worry. " Quite a few people nodded. Hearing this, it was as if they had been granted amnesty, and a large number of them fell asleep.
Hours passed by one after another. The first glimmer of dawn appeared in the east. Many people had already collapsed in the underbrush. Only the Xuan Shuang was full of energy. He opened his eyes wide and looked around.
After a while, Li Yijie also became drowsy. His upper and lower eyelids kept fighting. Once his eyelids closed, he felt more comfortable. Just as he was about to imitate the others and put his head on his knees, the Xuan Shuang suddenly pulled his sleeve.
Li Yijie's heart tightened. He suddenly raised his head and saw a dark figure slowly climbing up the mountain, leaving a long and narrow shadow behind him. Li Yijie's heart skipped a beat. He quietly woke up the Nangong Xue next to him. He also told everyone to get up. The team immediately entered the first level of alert.
That person was indeed Jiang Liechen. He walked alone on the mountain path. Under his arrogant manner, there was an even deeper sense of loneliness. Every step he took was especially heavy, making people think of the saying 'alone'. Perhaps for many years, he had always been alone like this. But no one had ever thought of caring about his daily life, or whether he felt the same loneliness.
When he walked on higher ground, everyone could see him from behind. He was dragging a long flatbed cart. The cart was covered with a rag. Li Yijie's heart beat wildly. The answer was obvious. Perhaps the people on the cart were the world-famous' Seven Evils'. Could it be that he was really willing to give up the treasures in his hands for Chu Menglin? Ah Yan's body trembled even more violently. Even Qian Yu's gentle voice could not calm her.
No matter how slow one's steps were, there would always be an end to the road. At this time, Jiang Liechen was standing at the mouth of the volcano. He looked indifferently at the magma that was as still as stagnant water. His gaze suddenly turned to the sky. The sharpness in his eyes seemed to pierce through the nine layers of clouds and go straight to the palace of heaven.
Every time he spoke, he had to clench his teeth to control his emotions. He spoke slowly, "I have roamed Jianghu for many years. I have never cared about anything. Everyone is nothing but my consecrators. Until … when you appeared, everyone said that I treated you differently than anyone else. I also agree with this statement. Because you are the most special person. How can those ordinary people be compared to you? I know you hate me. Perhaps the only thing I can do is to let you kill me to relieve the hatred in your heart. I will not complain. However, the heavens have always treated me with the cruelest methods. You will leave me in the end. Without you, even if I obtain the world, no matter how many things I obtain, what's the point? " He suddenly stabbed the Afterimage Sword into the ground next to him. Then, he raised his hand and lifted up the wooden carriage. Everything inside the carriage was poured into the magma. Only a few bubbles could be seen. The ancient treasures that had been passed down for thousands of years were so easily turned into ashes in the magma. They disappeared from the world forever. From now on, there would be no more disputes caused by the Seven Evils.
When the crowd heard his confession, they were all greatly shocked. They had long heard that the Demon Sect's Young Master and Young Miss had an ambiguous relationship, but they did not expect that they would love each other so deeply. Looking at him now, he did not look like the culprit of all evil. He looked like the most ordinary infatuated person.
Nangong Xue held Li Yijie's hand even tighter. She thought, "Actually … he is also a pitiful person. His feelings for Menglin are as strong and sincere as my feelings for Senior Martial Brother. Unfortunately, until the end, Menglin did not fall in love with him. Instead, because of various misunderstandings, he deeply hated him … "
