Volume 2: Buddha's Hand Saves All Living Things, Subdues Demons and Attains Bodhi Chapter 68 Elder Tieyan
As the banquet began, the entire Qinhuai River was suddenly ushered in an unprecedented grand occasion. The sound of piano music was heard incessantly on both sides of the river, and the business of the major pleasure boats and several brothels was unprecedentedly prosperous. After all, once people have money, the first thought is naturally to enjoy and squander it. There is food, drink and women here, so one must definitely go and indulge himself.
Li Muchan went up to the Red Mansion and walked into a superior room, but he did not come to enjoy himself. Instead, he sat down leisurely and greeted with a smile: "Why don't you two go to the Qilin Building and sit for a while?"
Qilin Tower is the ship used to host banquets and entertain heroes from all walks of life.
Opposite him, there were seven people who had been waiting for a long time.
Of the seven people, five were standing and two were sitting. The two sitting ones, a man and a woman, were not dressed like people from the Central Plains. Instead, they covered their heads with cloth, leaving only the upper half of their faces exposed, as if they were all black from head to toe. They also had a lot of silver ornaments on their bodies, exuding a strong exotic atmosphere.
They are the second and third elders of the Demon Cult.
One's surname is Tie and the other's surname is Yan.
The second elder Tie, the third elder Yan.
Aside from the Fourth Elder Murong Ying, the only elder that Li Muchan had not met was the last, mysterious, most profound and terrifying Great Elder.
It is said that this person holds a very high status in the Demon Cult, even more powerful than several deputy leaders. He is also a veteran minister of the Demon Cult for three dynasties. He was the one who single-handedly promoted the new leader, follows him wholeheartedly, and helps him eliminate dissidents.
Second to none, above ten thousand others.
The second elder and the third elder are both disciples of the first elder.
These two people were somewhat special. Not only were they husband and wife, their martial arts were also a combination of moves. They were also both experts in using swords. The techniques they had practiced were also the best sword moves in the Demon Sect, named "Double Flying Swallows".
The two parties started dealing with each other three years ago, so they are quite familiar with each other.
"I heard that the 'Clavicle Soul-Stirring Heavenly Buddha Scroll' has appeared in the world?" asked Elder Yan San.
This person has a charming and sweet voice, a pair of eyes that can captivate people, and under the light, he seems to exude a different kind of charm.
"You came to me for this matter?" Li Muchan laughed. He hesitated for a moment and nodded again. "It seems to be the case. How come you are interested too?"
Elder Tie Er said coldly: "Since you know it, why don't you take it over? This is your territory."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyelids, and looked at his own hands that were as cold and white as jade. He said softly, "Well, do you have anything else to say? Why don't you continue?"
Elder Tie Er seemed to dislike his careless tone, and his tone became even colder: "Recently, the Holy Church has spent a lot of money to recruit people and win over the masters of the Central Plains. Since you are the guardian of our sect, shouldn't you do your part?"
"Is that so?" Li Muchan glanced at him calmly, "How much do you want?"
Elder Tie Er's voice became deeper and deeper: "Add another 20%."
"Haha," Li Muchan smiled, "You two are really interesting. What do you mean by kindness? In just three short years, the money you two have taken from me is probably more than you can spend in several lifetimes. Who do you think you rely on to enjoy the best food and drink and indulge in luxury? I can give you 20%, and it's easy, but you can't ask me to give it to you with just a few words."
Elder Tie Er's tone was cold, his eyes were cold as well: "Given your current situation, I advise you to think carefully about it."
Li Muchan was completely unaware and just slowly used his index finger to pick at his ears. However, his eyes, as gentle as spring water, had turned gloomy, like two balls of eerie will-o'-the-wisp fire: "Okay, then I'll change my words, no!"
Elder Yan San's charming eyes turned: "Thunder Envoy, do you want to betray your religion?"
Li Muchan glanced at her and sneered, "Don't use such words to pressure me. You two have been using the title of the Great Elder to bully others in recent years, under the guise of expanding the territory and recruiting people for the Holy Church, but you have taken a lot of money from me."
Elder Tie Er stood up from the table and angrily asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Muchan casually took out an account book from his bosom and threw it in front of the two people: "I heard that the two elders secretly bought a lot of property in Gusu, and in recent years they have been living a life of luxury and spending money like water. Unknowingly, they are almost becoming the richest men in Jiangnan."
Elder Yan San just flipped his hand, and his pupils were already trembling.
Li Muchan's next words shocked the two men even more: "Rather than giving the money to you two losers, I would rather give it to the leader. As early as a month ago, I had someone go to the sacred mountain. Calculating the time, they should be back soon. You might as well guess, if the leader and the elder knew what you did, how would they react?"
The next moment, murderous intent arose and all the lights went out.
In the dim room, a streak of silver light suddenly appeared, split straight in the middle, and fell in the air.
It was an indescribably stunning blade light.
The knife flashed, and the wooden table that was originally placed between the two sides suddenly cracked silently and broke into two halves.
But before the sword's power had faded, it suddenly split into two, like two nimble flying swallows, one to the left and one to the right, splitting into two menacing cold rays that flew up and down and approached the person sitting on the chair.
With the light coming in from the window, Li Muchan sneered, and with one foot, he slid backwards with the chair, and his wooden leg made a series of rapid and sharp noises on the ground.
The two elders took big strides forward, the swords in their hands flashing like swallows, their figures like ghosts, and they were in hot pursuit.
In a flash, the two of them had pounced in front of Li Muchan, and the sword lights that were originally separated merged into one in mid-air and slashed down in the air.
Faced with such an evil and bizarre sword technique, Li Muchan's left sleeve, which was originally placed on his knees, fluttered up like a kite. He fluttered his sleeves and a crystal clear left hand suddenly stretched out. He was about to parry the two flashes of sword light when he heard a cry of surprise in his ear : "Great Search Divine Hand?"
At this moment, the combined sword light suddenly split, not only avoiding Li Muchan's left hand, but also the sword moved horizontally, as fast as lightning, and flashed to the left and right sides of the wooden chair, cutting the enemy's throat with one sword and the enemy's heart with another, cruel and treacherous.
But before the knife fell, Li Muchan on the chair suddenly flew up.
His shoulders, legs and waist did not move, but his black robe moved without wind, his hair was as tangled as snakes, and an evil wind was blowing all over his body. His pupils seemed to be completely filled with the eerie ghost fire, almost overflowing from his eye sockets. As Tie Yan and the other two looked at him in shock and horror, Li Muchan floated straight up and stayed in the air for a very short time, then he stepped on the sword lights of the two men and flew towards the other five men.
Before I could see clearly, with the light outside the window, I could only barely make out a black shadow like a ball of black gas, leaping and floating in the house, flying left and right, climbing walls, so fast that it was difficult to follow with the naked eye.
When Li Muchan appeared and stopped, the five figures didn't even let out a scream. Their limbs trembled, and puffs of blood mist and blood arrows spurted out of their chests. For a moment, it seemed as if heavy rain was falling in the house, and blood was rising to the sky.
Looking at his men who all fell, Elder Yan San said in a focused manner, "Be careful of this kid's evil skills!"
But before they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly let out a strange cry and dodged.
But Li Muchan raised one hand, and the Yin energy accumulated on his palm, as if wisps of black mist were overflowing, and the bones of his five fingers were exposed, like the claws of a ghost that grabs souls. He raised his hand and chopped, and the blood mist that was still floating around suddenly rolled up, and turned into a blood palm, wrapped in a terrifying dark wind, and whistled towards the two of them.
Bone Soul Chasing Palm!!
