Volume 1: The Jianghu is the main thing, who is the guest? Chapter 20: The sky is as blue as water, and the dragon is flying in the sky
let me?
A strange color flashed in Li Muchan's eyes, and then he observed all the members of the Demon Cult present, as if he wanted to remember their appearance clearly, and then asked very seriously and carefully: "Are you sure I will host it?"
The Water Envoy stood with his hands behind his back, his two large hands seemed to be hiding some terrible murderous intent: "You have been in the Central Plains for many years, and have dealt with the 'Blue Dragon Society' and the 'Money Gang'. Naturally, you are more suitable than us."
That's not wrong.
Moreover, Li Muchan saw that this person actually smiled at him, but there seemed to be some strange meaning hidden in the smile, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, in this case, he won't be polite.
As for retreating, being afraid, that doesn't exist.
The Money Gang's momentum is secretly growing, the Azure Dragon Society is becoming increasingly powerful, and the Demon Cult is about to move eastward. In the three-way competition, Shangguan Xiaoxian is not the only one who wants to take advantage of the situation to rise up, so how could Li Muchan miss it?
Moreover, he has thought it through very clearly and considered it very clearly in the past two months. Now is both the most dangerous predicament and the best opportunity, but he still needs to create a better opportunity himself. The opportunity is already in front of him, and there is a lot to be done while the three parties are competing.
As for hiding in the mountains and fields with his magical powers to avoid the spotlight temporarily, he had never thought about it.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, what does it matter? The Qinglong Society dominates the Central Plains, and the Demon Cult is rampant in the Western Regions. There are probably no less than tens of thousands of disciples, or even more. If they sweep across the world by then, who can stop them?
What's more, he had already had enough of the life of being neither alive nor dead, depressed and unable to make a breakthrough.
If I quit, there might not be such a good opportunity again in my life, which would be worse than death.
And if he wanted to back down, he wouldn't have to wait until now.
If a person does not have the courage to strive for excellence and the will to fight against the wind and waves, what is the point of practicing martial arts? He does not even need others to help him, he might as well just cut his own throat with a knife.
There are countless masters in this world, and the strong are respected . However, martial arts are just the icing on the cake, just like a means to the top. It is certainly important, but what is more important is whether you have the courage and determination, to hone yourself over and over again, and to remain steadfast.
If a person cannot live a wonderful life, everything is meaningless.
Li Muchan's dark eyes brightened up, and after a long pause he said, "Then I'd be very sorry to refuse. Has Shangguan Xiaoxian left Luoyang? Has Ye Kai arrived?"
"News has come in that Lin Xian'er has passed away. Ye Kai will probably arrive in Luoyang in three days." Someone answered, "He will go to Chang'an."
Li Muchan suddenly asked: "Why do you want to go to Chang'an?"
Tie Gu continued, "I don't know. Besides, the news of the treasure of the Money Gang has spread. Many forces in the martial arts world want to get a piece of the pie and have secretly headed to Chang'an."
Li Muchan seemed to have thought it over before saying, "It seems that Shangguan Xiaoxian has already recruited quite a few people."
The fire envoy chuckled and said, "Why do you say that?"
Li Muchan looked at him: "If she doesn't have enough manpower and full confidence, how can she dare to leave Luoyang easily? Besides, how can she get the treasure of the Money Gang?"
The water envoy's eyes lit up: "You mean, the treasure of the Golden Money Gang is in Chang'an?"
Li Muchan said calmly, "It should be her decision to go to Chang'an. She was most likely the one who leaked the news. She not only wants to get the treasure, but also wants to take over another city. You know, there are as many martial arts families in Chang'an as in Luoyang, and she can also invite all the forces in the martial arts world to fall into her trap and kill each other. She can pretend to be stupid and stay out of it, and let Ye Kai and others block the momentum for her, and then..."
Hearing Li Muchan's clear and logical analysis of the situation, the Fire Envoy said in amazement, "This woman has a very vicious mind, and is indeed extraordinary... But, haha, I heard that this person is extremely beautiful, a rare divine product in the world. When the time comes, no one is allowed to snatch it from me."
By the end of his speech, the man was already gasping for breath.
Li Muchan naturally knew what the other party meant by "divine product". He had this idea in mind and was targeting Shangguan Xiaoxian. He would not live for many days.
His eyes were dim as he stood in the frost, as quiet as a lifeless ghost. Looking at the people in front of him, he estimated that only a few of them could survive.
Having said this, Li Muchan finally said, "Without further delay, let's all go to Chang'an and get started."
Shui Yong glanced at him with an almost appreciative look, and then ordered: "Did you hear everything clearly? Leave for Chang'an immediately and arrange everything before they arrive. As for those who don't know how to live or die and want to get a piece of the pie, kill them all."
"Yes, sir!"
For a moment, the figures in the forest scattered in all directions like ghosts, coming quickly and leaving even faster.
Not only did these people leave, but the two water and fire envoys also acted decisively. The fire envoy's eyes were as red as fire, and he screamed and rushed out of the Hundred Ghosts Forest. The water envoy frowned and chased after him, and before he did not forget to instruct: "Thunder envoy, you should leave quickly as well."
When everyone dispersed, the forest returned to silence.
After a long while, Li Muchan raised his hand to catch the snowflakes that were falling freely in the air. He clenched his pale and slender fingers and whispered, "Everyone can't wait to die."
He didn't want to die. Shangguan Xiaoxian might lose, and Ye Kai might also die, but they would never lose to such a group of people.
Li Muchan also acted decisively, as if he had made some kind of decision. He turned and went into the house, took out an old umbrella, dusted off the dust on it, held the umbrella open, and finally stepped out of the Forest of Hundred Ghosts.
It was late at night and the only sounds in Luoyang city were the trembling shouting of the night watchmen, the occasional barking of dogs, and the blushing noises coming from the brothels and taverns.
Li Muchan walked on the quiet long street, facing the howling cold wind. Looking back now, it really feels like a dream.
His steps were extremely leisurely, but he did not walk slowly. His knees were not bent, his feet were not lifted, and with just a tiptoe, he floated straight up a distance, swung a distance, landed on the ground, and stood up again in an instant, as if his feet were not touching the ground, like a lonely soul.
With frost and snow blowing in his face, Li Muchan walked through the alleys and streets of Luoyang City, and finally came to a neighborhood called "Tongtuo Mo", which is where "Tongtuo Muyu", one of the eight most famous scenic spots in Luoyang City, is located.
This place is bordered by Luo River in the south, Chan River in the west, and a little further to the north is the busiest market in Luoyang City.
He couldn't find the flat lake, so he could only look for a place with water.
The location of the Qinglong Society.
The night was as dark as ink, and the wind and snow were so strong that people could not open their eyes.
The umbrella in Li Muchan's hand could not bear the weight and was torn into pieces by the cold wind and fell out of his hand, swept away into the night.
After walking for a while, suddenly, Li Muchan's eyes seemed to glow with a different light, and his dark pupils also brightened. He saw that under a thick old locust tree by the river, there was a soy milk shop with steam coming out.
Suddenly, above the door, a banner was seen fluttering and rustling, and then swaying in the wind. On the white flag, a long green dragon with bared fangs and claws was flying in the snow, as if it was about to break through the clouds and fly away.
The sky is as blue as water, and a dragon is flying in the sky.
He took a deep breath, stepped in, and said softly, "Excuse me!"
