Volume 4: Blue Dragon Changes the World Chapter 149: Turning the tide and trying to kill Qinglong
"Thank you very much, sir!"
The old escort bowed to Li Muchan, reserved and respectful.
Unlike his own nephew who was confused and ignorant, he knew the background of the person in front of him. He was so scared that his lips trembled and he stuttered.
Li Muchan couldn't help but smile: "Am I that scary?"
The old escort forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. "Young Master shined in the battle at Taihu Lake and was called the 'number one demon' throughout history. All the forces in the Central Plains said that Young Master killed people without blinking an eye and was a first-class demon. How could I not be afraid?"
The boat cuts through the waves, and the shadows of mountains, clouds, boats, and people are all reflected in the clear water.
Li Muchan just stood there. He glanced at the figures jumping between the river bank and the mountains, and said calmly, "Are you not afraid now?"
The old escort grinned and said, "Young Master, you are joking. You saved our lives. What is there to be afraid of? Moreover, I am lucky to be able to travel with a powerful figure like you. It is not in vain that I have been through so much in this world."
He turned his head and frowned, and scolded the young escort: "Why don't you thank the young master for saving your life?"
Unexpectedly, the young man stared at Li Muchan and asked curiously, "You've been standing all the time, aren't you tired?"
The old escort's face turned black and he slapped the other man on the forehead, causing the young man to grimace in pain.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Of course I'm tired. I even want to lie down, but standing is more graceful and more imposing. If I sit down, others will know that I'm tired, but if I keep standing, they will be wary of me and afraid of me."
The young man rubbed his forehead and sighed, "It turns out that big shots get tired too. I thought they had no worries and enjoyed themselves all day long."
Li Muchan was moved upon hearing this: "What a coincidence, I used to think so too, but one day I suddenly discovered that those who bullied me were also bullied by others. Then I realized that no matter who you are in this world, no matter how high you climb, you can never be free of worries. Because there will always be someone stronger than you. Even if there isn't one now, they will definitely come to you in the future, find you, and challenge you."
The young man was stunned: "What should I do then?"
"It's simple," Li Muchan chuckled, "Of course, it's getting stronger."
The young man looked troubled, frowned and thought for a while, then asked doubtfully: "Can't we go together?"
Li Muchan stopped smiling and was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Do you know what the top is? Because the top is too steep, too small, and too narrow. It's so narrow that only one person can stand firmly. If there are more people, they might push you down for their own sake. You will be smashed to pieces and there is no way back."
The young man opened his mouth wide: "Neither my wife nor my son can do it?"
Li Muchan smiled but said nothing.
The young man immediately shrank his neck and muttered quietly, "It seems that even the best in the world is not worth envying. After all the fighting and scrambling, in the end only one person is left. How lonely and desolate that person must be. Isn't that just a fool?"
The old escort tried to interrupt several times but failed to find a chance. Finally, he glared at his nephew and slapped him in the face: "Let you talk nonsense, kid."
"Interesting." Li Muchan laughed loudly, and then said calmly: "He is not wrong. Maybe we are just fools in the eyes of many people."
As he spoke, he paid attention to the changes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
More and more experts came upon hearing the news.
Most of the people in the north of the Yangtze River are from the "Golden Money Gang" and the "Green Dragon Society", while there is very little movement in the south of the Yangtze River, as if those people don't care about him as the leader at all.
The old escort was a very experienced man. He followed Li Muchan's gaze and saw the danger. He hesitated and said, "Sir, please forgive me for being blunt. Your current situation is not good. You'd better get out of here as soon as possible."
A person like Li Muchan is surrounded by many ambushes, but the people from the "World Alliance" didn't see any of them. Isn't this very bad?
Moreover, this is the Yangtze River waterway. The troops from the "Twelve Linked Docks" did not arrive here immediately. It goes without saying that the "World Alliance" must have encountered an accident.
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the river bank, smiling, "It's not very good."
The reason why I say this is because of the timing. Now that the "World Alliance" has just been established, its foundation is not yet solid, people's hearts are not yet settled, and there is no leader. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who would be willing to miss it?
If Gongzi Yu had made arrangements in advance, he would definitely have taken action.
It is possible that the Qinglong Society had already started taking action as soon as he, the leader, left.
If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before both sides of the Yangtze River will be his enemies.
"It's finally going to surface." Li Muchan murmured calmly.
He never looks down on anyone, let alone the heroes of the world. He is always wary of the Qinglong Society, a behemoth that has dominated the martial arts world for hundreds of years and is still standing tall. He is even more wary of it than the Demon Cult, but he has never looked down on it.
Unlike the Demon Cult's eastward expansion, Qiu Xiaolou's roots are not in the Central Plains after all. He is like a tree without roots, with nothing to rely on. If he wins, he wins, and if he loses, he loses. There is absolutely no third possibility.
But the Qinglong Society is not like that.
This is a centipede, dead but still alive.
Its roots are in the Central Plains, or in other words, the Central Plains martial arts world.
In this vast world, it has already infiltrated various forces invisibly, with its roots intertwined, building nests in secret, and staring at everyone.
When facing this kind of existence, if you cannot kill it with one strike, you will be killed by its backlash.
In the battle of Taihu Lake, did the Qinglong Club show its full strength?
Of course not.
Hundreds of years of heritage is not to be taken lightly.
This poisonous dragon seemed to have lost two dragon heads and had the Jiangnan martial arts world taken away from it, but in fact it was just showing weakness to the enemy. It could not only preserve some of its strength, but also take the opportunity to see clearly the forces of all parties.
The Demon Cult's eastward advance was just a prelude.
What the Qinglong Society really wants to deal with are the "World Alliance" and the "Money Gang".
And what about the people from the Qinglong Society?
The Central Plains martial arts world is neither big nor small, with several major forces dominating one side, and the troops of all parties can be seen at a glance. In comparison, whether it is the tens of thousands of demons and thousands of elites of the "Demon Cult", the half of the world of the "World Alliance", or the overwhelming wealth of the "Money Gang", the "Qinglong Society" seems to lack confidence.
But the Qinglong Society is clearly the most feared force in the martial arts world.
Li Muchan also figured everything out not long ago.
The answer is simple, because the people from the "Qinglong Society" have already been serving as subordinates of the "Tianxia Alliance" and the "Jinqian Gang", waiting for the two parties to grow up completely so that they can be taken into their pockets.
Now the time is ripe. The "Golden Money Gang" is powerful in Heluo and dominates the north. Li Muchan's "World Alliance" has also surfaced. The camps of various forces have also become clear, and it is a good time to catch them all in one fell swoop.
This great dragon leader really plays all the heroes of the world in the palm of his hand.
If that time really comes, wouldn't it be just as Murong Qiudi said, like Qiu Xiaolou, making wedding dresses for others?
By then, all the wealth and power in the world will belong to the "Qinglong Society".
Li Muchan still remembers that when he figured it all out, his hands and feet were cold.
He was too proud and carried himself too much.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
Among all these arrangements, if there was anything that really changed Li Muchan's mood, it was Pharmacist Li, but it also made him certain of his guess.
Fortunately, he mastered the "Formless Divine Art".
This battle will be unprecedentedly dangerous, but it will also be a huge opportunity.
Because the "Green Dragon Society" will also come out in full force, completely emerge from darkness and come to the light, and of course they will be able to completely eradicate and kill this evil dragon that has been entrenched in the martial arts world for hundreds of years.
Even if Pharmacist Li really betrayed him, what could he do?
You should know that the "World Alliance" also has a master who is good at using poison, and he also has the lifelong learning of the "Thousand Faces Prince" Wang Lianhua.
This man, like Li Muchan, has been ready for battle at any time and has wanted to become famous for many years.
Now is the time for the trapped dragon to soar into the sky and dominate the world.
Li Muchan finally sat down, ready to go, as if waiting for something.
Waiting for what?
Of course, he was waiting for the situation to change, and also waiting for the murderous intent.
Using his body as bait, he wants to kill the Azure Dragon!!!
