Volume 2: Buddha's Hand Saves All Living Things, Subdues Demons and Attains Bodhi Chapter 104: Yunmeng Successor
Peacock Villa.
Feeling the weather getting colder day by day, looking at the flowers and plants that were gradually withering, Li Muchan suddenly felt as if he was alone outside of late autumn.
Because his heart was very hot, hotter than the charcoal fire in the furnace, his blood was boiling, flowing through all the orifices, flowing through his limbs and bones, surging and colliding in his chest and abdomen, and then constantly growing the ambitions in his heart.
In the past thousands of days and nights, Li Muchan had never felt that he had been as full of vitality and truly lived as he was now.
This world is about to usher in its own cold winter, but for Li Muchan it is an early spring with bursting vitality.
He raised his slender, pale hand.
In his hand was a letter that had just arrived.
Three days ago, the Great Elder of the Demon Cult fought with the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa on the Yellow River waterway. The Great Elder's right palm was broken by a sword and he almost died. Later, the Demon Cult leader appeared with a crescent-shaped scimitar, his light chilling the world, and he was accompanied by twelve death warriors as bodyguards. After a while, the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains retreated calmly.
The letter was very long, recording everything that had happened in almost every detail.
Including the reactions of the spectators, the head of the Azure Dragon Society, Shangguan Xiaoxian and others. And, at the end of the secret letter, there was a piece of uncertain news...
The flying swordsman seems to have appeared.
Beside him, the Goddess of Bliss had shrunk her shoulders because of the contents of the letter, Peacock frowned, and even Qiu Shuiqing was in a daze for a long time.
Only Ye'er was playing happily on the grass nearby. She was holding a lifelike puppet in her hand, and had changed into exquisite clothes. On her chest hung a large brocade bag, which was carved from jade and was extremely beautiful.
"I never thought that the leader of the Demon Cult would have twelve extraordinary death guards around him." The Blissful Lady was astonished, and then she raised her eyebrows and said, "Sir, are you sure? If you are not sure, I will run away."
She wasn't being direct.
Because according to the news, these twelve guards not only have the strength to rival the leaders of several sects, but can also form a killing formation, and are fearless and ruthless. They are all poisonous people who have mastered the "Devil Blood Technique".
It was precisely because of this that the Demon Cult's leader and the great elder were able to escape unscathed even when all the experts from several parties were present.
When she thought that Li Muchan, a figure who had risen to prominence in less than half a year, was actually planning to target such an existence, not just one, but also the "Qinglong Society" and the "Golden Money Gang", it was a good thing that she didn't escape on the spot.
Others have many experts under their command, but look at them: a blacksmith, a manor owner who looks strong on the outside but is actually weak and whose family is in decline, along with her, a weirdo who can control insects and drive away parasites, and finally, Li Muchan, who is... a businessman.
Oh, and there’s also a half-grown child.
The Goddess of Bliss sighed as if she saw no chance of winning at all.
Li Muchan smiled and waved at Ye'er, saying slowly, "How can there be anyone truly invincible in this world? Xiang Yu's bravery was said to be 'unparalleled throughout the ages', but who would have thought that he would eventually be defeated by Liu Bang? Do you know why he was defeated?"
Qiu Shuiqing said bluntly: "Because Liu Bang has a group of loyal brothers and subordinates behind him, as well as talented people like Han Xin and Zhang Liang."
"That's right," Li Muchan said calmly, "A person who is too strong will always fall into blind self-confidence, but showing weakness to the enemy can sometimes avoid a lot of trouble. Besides, behind me, there are actually many people who follow me wholeheartedly, although they may not be following me."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Goddess of Bliss lit up.
Li Muchan glanced at her at this time: "To be honest, I have already arranged my funeral arrangements."
"Afterlife? What afterlife?"
Several people's faces changed.
Li Muchan crumpled up the secret letter and said calmly, "I have been preparing for battle and lying dormant for three years. Since I am preparing for this thunderous attack that will swallow up the world, I will burn my boats and put my life and death aside."
Although his demeanor remained peaceful, he was already emitting an overbearing, brutal and murderous aura.
It is like the chilly autumn air, which is determined to destroy all things and extinguish all life.
Li Muchan casually took a dead leaf floating in front of him, his eyes dim, "Those people thought I had been doing this for three years just to get out of trouble. They underestimated me... As for my funeral, I have secretly asked people to divide my remaining money into several parts, deposited them in several major business houses, buried them in several places, and set up several triggers."
The goddess of bliss was surprised and amazed. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was something strange and solemn in her eyes: "Introduction? What introduction?"
Li Muchan was silent for a while before he said, "For example, if I haven't shown up for a few days, or if Ye'er's lucky bag is stolen by someone, or if she meets with an unexpected accident, or if someone pretends to be me and matches a certain code, as long as one of them is triggered, my money will become a bounty."
"Bounty?"
The face of the Goddess of Bliss turned visibly ugly, and she could almost guess what the bounty was used for.
Li Muchan said dimly, "Yes, as long as one of them is triggered, it means I am dead. And all those who have dealt with me, Li Muchan, during my lifetime will be written into an assassination list. No matter if they are from a sect, a religion, or a family, all those who are suspicious will be hunted down with endless bounties, until they die, until they have exhausted all their resources."
So cruel.
Very poisonous.
So wonderful.
Not to mention that the face of the Goddess of Bliss changed, Qiu Shuiqing and Kong Que also looked a little unnatural.
Li Muchan not only destroyed his own path, but also the paths of all of them.
The charming voice of the goddess of bliss suddenly became low, and she said coldly: "So you have been on guard against us for a long time?"
"Haha," Li Muchan ignored her reaction and sneered, "The Thirty-Six Caves are notorious in the martial arts world, and they are all full of bloodshed. It would be strange if they didn't guard against you. From the day they took my money, you, the boss, didn't notice anything. You are either a fool or you are pretending to be stupid. It is not easy for a beautiful woman to survive in the poor and remote Miao area, not to mention that she has subdued so many murderous unorthodox ways. It takes some scheming and skills. How dare I look down on you, and..."
Li Muchan paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Back then at the inn, you were able to control the Gu and hurt people without any of us noticing. Even the Second Dragon Chief and Shangguan Xiaoxian didn't notice. You are quite amazing."
The look in the eyes of the Goddess of Bliss was uncertain. She never expected that Li Muchan would do such a thing in the last minute.
Li Muchan glanced at her and said casually, "I am forced to do this. Today is your last chance. If you are willing to join us, when we succeed, you will get a share of what I have. If not, you can lead your brothers back to Miaojiang and live a life like a ghost, just as if you have never seen me."
"Hahaha, Mr. Ghost is indeed worthy of his reputation. You guessed right. I knew it from the moment you bribed them." The face of the Blissful Lady suddenly regained its charm. She laughed continuously and said leisurely: "How do you think I subdued them? I have planted poisonous insects in the bodies of each of them. Even if they want to betray, they don't have the courage. I originally wanted to control you this way, but too many things have happened these days, and I can't see through you."
"Using Gu to control people?" Li Muchan's eyes lit up. "I thought, they have already received the money, but they still don't dare to do anything to you, the boss. I wonder what school or sect the goddess learned from?"
The goddess of bliss smiled charmingly, and she lightly raised her jade finger , and a slender green bamboo leaf hair emerged from it and moved around her fingertips.
She spoke slowly, smiled softly, and said delicately, "It seems that not all men in the world are fools. I'd like to let you know that I am the descendant of the 'Fairy Yunmeng' of the past."
As he spoke, the man's aura suddenly changed, and he flipped his hand again, and a token appeared in his palm.
The descendant of Yunmeng Fairy?
Li Muchan's eyes became brighter. He found that he seemed to be getting lucky. Not only did he meet five famous craftsmen in Peacock Villa, but now he had such a master hiding by his side.
Who is Fairy Yunmeng? She was the "No. 1 Female Demon in the World" who was famous in the martial arts world back then, and she was also the first wife of "King of Happiness" Chai Yuguan and the mother of "Mr. Thousand Faces" Wang Lianhua.
Most importantly, this person once fought with "King of Jiuzhou" Shen Tianjun. Although he was defeated, his strength is recognized as top-notch.
The token in the hands of the Goddess of Bliss is exactly the "Yunmeng Token" of the Yunmeng Fairy.
At that time, once this thing came out, it could command all the demons, and wherever the divine order went, all the heroes in the martial arts world would bow down.
But on the dark iron plate, there seemed to be faint smoke waves flowing, as if containing the dark sky and the opening and closing of clouds, with ever-changing changes that were beyond description.
Li Muchan asked with a burning gaze, "What was the answer of that goddess?"
The goddess of bliss rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "At this point, do I have any choice? I thought I caught a big fish, but I fell into a deep pit. My lord, please remember your promise today. If you break your promise in the future, I will not tolerate your actions."
Li Muchan nodded: "I, Li Muchan, keep my promise!"
