The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 243: Conspiracy on a Rainy Night
The wind and rain were dark. Seeing the man walk into the thatched hut, Li Muchan also stopped and disappeared into the mountains like a wisp of green smoke. His black robe rolled up and he was already sitting cross-legged on a large blue stone.
As he sat down, his energy was restrained, his spirit was completely contained, and his whole body was silent. In an instant, he seemed to become one with the rocks below him, sharing the same breath and pulse, completely indistinguishable.
Even though there were Qinglong Society's masters and fighters all around him, no one noticed his presence.
Li Muchan just sat quietly in the rain, his eyes closed, his inner breath slowly sinking, the Qi passing through his central meridian. Only under the operation of the Four Illuminations Magical Art, he loosened the little fingers of both hands, and the Qi and blood in his heart meridians suddenly surged. His mind was shocked, and it was as if he heard thunder in his mind. All the movements outside his body became clear.
The rain fell, the wind rose, the thunder roared, the lightning flashed... along with the whispers from all directions and the sounds in the thatched cottage, all came into his ears.
Although the sound becomes blurrier as it gets farther away, at least I can still hear the general idea.
"Hello Mr. Shangguan Tianhong, how are you doing?"
This is Bai Yujing's voice.
"Don't worry, since I'm doing it myself, there's no way I can't accomplish it," another voice replied.
Bai Yujing smiled faintly and said, "I hope so. Victory or failure depends on this battle at dawn. But please don't make any mistakes, or the Jinqian Gang will be destroyed. I can still survive, but you will have to withdraw from this grand game of Central Plains."
The man named Shangguan Tianhong did not speak and seemed to have fallen into silence.
The two of them spoke in very low voices.
"Your Excellency, please understand that we are all in this together. Please do not make any unwise moves, or all our efforts will be wasted and it will be too late to regret."
It turns out that there were not only two people in the thatched cottage, but also Qiu Xiaolou.
And the person who spoke was Qiu Xiaolou.
Shangguan Tianhong said coldly: "What do you mean, sir?"
Qiu Xiaolou's tone was equally cold, and he only said three words, "Peacock Feather."
Finally, he added: "Don't you know that the Shangguan sisters have hidden peacock feathers?"
"I know." Shangguan Tianhong said without hiding anything, "But I haven't confirmed who holds that thing yet, so I haven't said it."
Bai Yujing smiled leisurely, "Is there any difference?"
"Of course there is." Shangguan Tianhong said in a deep voice: "If Shangguan Xiaoxian gets this item, this battle will definitely become more dangerous. If Shangguan Xianer gets this item, maybe I can use it."
The three people in the thatched cottage all calmed down, and then they heard Shangguan Tianhong continue, "When the time comes, we just need to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate that Eunuch Liu, and then get rid of Shangguan Xiaoxian, and we will be done. As for the Tianxia Alliance, if that Li Muchan doesn't come, it's fine. But if he dares to show up in Luoyang, he will definitely not return."
Bai Yujing smiled at the other party's arrogant tone, "Mr. Shangguan, don't be too happy. Li Muchan is not easy to deal with . He is ambitious and popular. His martial arts skills have greatly improved, and he is very cunning. He is different from those reckless men who only care about fighting. Hehe, who knows, he may have already arrived in Luoyang and is hiding in the dark, observing the overall situation and plotting against us."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Tianhong laughed darkly and said shockingly, "Because I have found a surefire way to defeat him."
Qiu Xiaolou continued, "What?"
Shangguan Tianhong said slowly: "Child."
Bai Yujing's tone also changed, "What child?"
Shangguan Tianhong's laughter became strange, "Shangguan Xiaoxian and Li Muchan's child."
"You mean..." Qiu Xiaolou said in a high tone, but did not continue, as if waiting for Shangguan Tianhong to respond.
"Yes," Shangguan Tianhong said, "Shangguan Xiaoxian is pregnant."
The thatched cottage fell into a brief silence, but soon Bai Yujing hesitated and asked, "How did you know this?"
Shangguan Tianhong pondered, "Diet. A person's habits are usually not easy to change, especially someone like Shangguan Xiaoxian, who is even less likely to change her long-standing eating habits. For the past few years, she has eaten very light food year-round, and she has to be constantly on guard against poisoning, so her diet is always the same, never changing. But after returning from Chang'an, not long after, she started eating things that replenish her blood and nourish her vitality. She also became a little strange and vomited frequently."
Qiu Xiaolou asked, "Are you sure?"
Shangguan Tianhong said with certainty, "It's almost right. There's absolutely no mistake."
"Oh, it's really the death of Shangguan Xiaoxian." Bai Yujing sighed.
Although this person was sighing, his tone was mixed with a hint of uncontrollable excitement and laughter.
At this critical moment when several parties are fighting for supremacy and trying to decide who will be the winner, this world-recognized hero is pregnant. Isn't this cutting off her own retreat and her life?
Not only did it cut off her own life, but even someone like Li Muchan, who had no flaws, had an extra fatal weakness out of thin air.
"Then we can't kill her." Qiu Xiaolou said.
The life of such a person is the most valuable. Not only Shangguan Xiaoxian must be alive, but the child in her belly must also be alive and well. Only in this way can all of and all of his means be eliminated.
At this point, Bai Yujing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He was indeed somewhat apprehensive of Li Muchan, a peerless foe who had climbed up the ranks step by step, now practically invincible and invulnerable. But now, this man had a flaw, a flaw that could spell doom, and his invincibility was gone.
"A hero is always tempted by a beautiful woman, " Bai Yujing sighed, then laughed. He had been agonizing over how to deal with Li Muchan, but now that his problem was solved, he almost burst into laughter. "Right now, besides the Jinqian Gang, the only people left in Luoyang City are the Qinglong Society. There's also an ambush outside the city. Even if the Tianxia Alliance arrives in time, they won't be able to enter the city for a while. So, if everything goes according to plan, there's a lot of potential for the Central Plains martial arts world."
Shangguan Tianhong said, "I have already completed my task. I wonder if you can find out the reason behind that eunuch Liu's actions?"
Bai Yujing said in a serious tone, "I must remind Mr. Shangguan that we're not facing just Eunuch Liu. You should know that he has seven other men under his command. These seven seem to have practiced the same martial arts as him, and have been cultivating their yin within the Leopard Pavilion for so many years. Each of them is very skilled, and their martial arts share the same roots. I suspect they have some terrifying and lethal techniques hidden within them, so they must not be underestimated."
Shangguan Tianhong hummed, then said calmly, "Don't worry, sir. These eight people are very capable, and our Shangguan clan is no ordinary clan. We'll have to test them to find out who's stronger and who's weaker."
Hearing this, Bai Yujing smiled and said, "In that case, I will rely on Mr. Shangguan. I will reward you handsomely after the task is completed."
The three of them were talking, but suddenly they all fell silent.
But the silence lasted only a few breaths, and a flash of knife light suddenly flew out from the thatched cottage, cut through the rain curtain, and fell on a thick old tree more than ten feet away.
"Who?"
Under the flash of the knife, a woman in white suddenly appeared on the tree, with a head full of white hair cascading like a waterfall. As the knife flashed, she had already pushed out with a palm.
In an instant, the ground was filled with eerie ghostly aura, wind and rain were raging, and the surging palm wind swept across the world.
White Bone Soul-Chasing Palm.
"Hmm?" Qiu Xiaolou was stunned. "Ghost Secret Music?"
And that woman was none other than the Ghost Palace Master, Bai Feifei.
"Hey, there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you break in. Where are you going?"
