Volume 4: Blue Dragon Changes the World Chapter 189: All the strong ones are here, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers
Even though Li Muchan was well prepared, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw Gongzi Yu actually dug out such a cave underground.
Looking ahead, you can see a forest of stone pillars, with intricate paths in between, winding and twisting like a spider web, extending in all directions.
And deep inside was a huge palace that was difficult to see in its entirety.
Li Muchan was amazed. After a closer look, he saw that the stone pillars were of different thicknesses, and most of them had traces of being cut by knives and axes. He guessed that the gunpowder buried by Shangguan Xiaoxian back then played a magical role. After the explosion, not only did it not collapse, but the cave was expanded. After being rearranged by Gongzi Yu, it looks like it does today.
“It’s really amazing.”
However, to have achieved this in just three to five years must have cost a huge amount of money.
Li Muchan was not in a hurry to go in.
These paths seem to have no pattern at all, but they are actually full of dangers. There are eight stone lamps in them, and the lights are always on. They are arranged in the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, which is obviously a formation set up by someone.
In the path, there was a lama in red standing against a pillar, his body full of poisonous arrows, like a hedgehog. His death was truly horrible.
There was no sign of the remaining few people.
Li Muchan thought about it, turned his gaze to the side, and looked to the right.
The treasure trove of the Jinqian Gang was right there. If there was a secret passage in Zhuo's mansion, it should lead there.
But just as he moved and took two steps, he heard a rustling noise from the other side.
The lights flickered, and many people from all walks of life appeared one after another, approaching cautiously.
These people walked in groups of three or four, each occupying one side, their eyes full of amazement and joy, their bodies still covered in blood, clearly having just been through a fight, and they must be the martial artists in Zhuo's mansion.
Li Muchan covered himself with his cloak and stood in the shadows, looking at these people calmly, as if he was looking at corpses.
Now that the two dragons are fighting, if these people dare to break into the Qinglong Underground Palace, they will be dead unless something unexpected happens.
Because neither Young Master Yu nor Old Qinglong would let them leave alive.
Li Muchan had no sympathy for this. A man of the world should die in the world. If a person has a narrow mind, he is bound to kill others. But if his vision is narrow, he will only kill himself.
Moreover, it seems that Old Qinglong is somewhat afraid of Young Master Yu, otherwise he would not have used so many scapegoats to clear the way.
"Um?"
As he looked around, his expression suddenly changed and he lowered his eyes.
Among the mixed crowd of martial arts world characters, there was a white-haired old woman who glanced at the shadow where Li Muchan was as if she had sensed something.
There are experts.
Li Muchan's mind was secretly moved.
There was more than one, one in front and one behind, and almost several gazes swept across the air.
This is going to be fun.
There are only a few good players and masters in the world, and who else can be considered as the ones who do not belong to any of the forces except Ye Kai and his friends?
Ye Kai dressed up as a little old man with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. Behind him was the old-looking Ding Linglin, and next to him was Li Manqing, who had a pockmarked face.
"Be careful, there are experts in the dark."
They originally didn't want to get involved because the water was too muddy, with several major forces competing for supremacy and masters emerging one after another. No matter how powerful they were, they still had to consider the safety of those around them.
Ye Kai had even made plans to retire from society with Ding Linglin, but a few days ago, Li Manqing received a secret letter.
The content of the letter was indeed horrifying. It mentioned that there was another hidden story behind the "Hui Yan Peak" battle that year, and that the death of "Jiuzhou King" Shen Tianjun was also strange. More importantly, the letter also said that the murderer was still in the world and wanted to cause another catastrophe.
After learning about this, who can sit still?
Moreover, Shen Lang, Wang Lianhua and others, as well as Li Xunhuan, all went overseas one after another, and their departures were somewhat suspicious. The secret letter intentionally or unintentionally pointed all the fingers at the Qinglong Society. Ye Kai had no choice but to take the risk and investigate.
Li Muchan also found it strange.
With Ye Kai's carefree and carefree nature, he would never meddle in other people's affairs, especially in the current situation.
You must know that the world is in turmoil right now. No matter how strong a person is, he is powerless to change the general trend and can only retreat.
Moreover, as long as this person stays away from the secular world, those people from the Qinglong Society will never provoke him easily, and he can stay away from the disputes in the martial arts world.
But now Ye Kai was actually involved in this murderous disaster. Either he had seen through something, or he was lured in by someone.
Apart from the blood feud, there was only the gold and silver treasures accumulated by the Qinglong Society for countless years. There was nothing worth Ye Kai and his men's efforts. As for Gongzi Yu, the descendant of Shen Lang, he was determined to sweep the martial arts world and had a shocking ambition. Ye Kai and he were on two different paths.
Except...Old Qinglong.
If this is true, there are two possibilities. Ye Kai was deliberately lured here by Old Qinglong; or they knew the secrets of this group of "Qinglong bosses", even some secrets that even Li Muchan didn't know.
The former is unlikely. With a war imminent, who would make enemies for no reason? It would be unwise to do so.
As for the latter, it is quite different.
Because this would mean that someone among the so-called "Qinglong Boss" has ulterior motives and wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Who to kill?
Of course, it is to kill other Qinglong bosses.
Think about it, the secret that made Ye Kai and others risk their lives for must be extremely important, so the people who know this secret can only be the Qinglong bosses.
As for the purpose, it is very simple, of course, they want to monopolize power.
Just like the peak, the reason why the world's number one is the world's number one is that there can only be one person. But once there are ten or a hundred people becoming the world's number one, is he still the world's number one?
Of course not.
Then there is no difference from ordinary people.
It also disperses power, and along with it fame and status, it has to be shared with others.
“It’s getting more and more complicated.”
Li Muchan sighed in his heart, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
Same identity, different existence, the biggest drawback of this rule appears.
After all, everything has a first come first served. Can the one who becomes the boss first be the same as the one who becomes the boss later?
Definitely different.
But they are both bosses, why is there a difference?
Of course, it must come from strength.
This situation may be able to be maintained in the face of absolute strength, but once the former weakens, someone will definitely turn the table.
Especially if a ruthless character who wants to dominate the world appears among these Qinglong bosses, the momentum to overturn the table will only become more powerful and more decisive.
Li Muchan has already thought of someone.
Baiyujing.
The young man who looked reckless, unwise, and even a little unpromising.
He still remembered what this person said: There can only be one boss.
This man's ambition was evident from the very beginning.
Li Muchan's eyes were dark, and he also thought of the three people wearing night clothes among the seven corpses above.
It should be someone from Baiyujing.
This person is trying to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger by hiding his cleverness among others.
Not only those three people, but also the mysterious man he pretended to be is very likely to be in cahoots with Bai Yujing.
Because the expressions of those three people before they died were defenseless, with only sudden shock.
As for the other party's identity, Li Muchan had no interest in guessing.
The struggles in the imperial court are far more bloody than the fighting in the martial arts world. Brothers kill each other, fathers and sons turn against each other. If the old don't die, how can the young take power? You can't just wait for the other party to die of old age and then take the throne naturally, right?
Moreover, the situation is clear now. Gongzi Yu is determined to deal with Old Qinglong, and everyone's attention is on Old Qinglong. Who would care about Bai Yujing who has just become the boss?
Not to mention that even Ye Kai and the others had come.
No, there is also Shangguan Xiaoxian.
He looked at the white-haired old woman. Her disguise was unchanging.
Add to that the power represented by the "Parting Hook", and this battle might just be worth fighting.
“Sure enough, none of them are simple.”
