Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 304: The Thousand-Faced Young Master
Seeing the man stand up and about to attack, Li Muchan suddenly turned his body sideways.
Just because there was a woman next to him.
The man in green robes laughed fiercely, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He said in a deep voice, "Boy, if you think you can control me with her, you are totally wrong. When I was running rampant, you were nowhere to be found."
Li Muchan was somewhat helpless. "What do you want me to say to make you believe it? You really have a granddaughter outside. Could it be that you have had so many fleeting affairs that you can't remember them all? Why not think about it carefully? What kind of maidservant, or perhaps a concubine?"
After Li Muchan's reminder, the green-robed guest's expression changed slightly. He temporarily suppressed his murderous intent and asked himself with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Could it be..."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Did you remember?"
The man in green robe raised his eyes and asked coldly, "Do you know who I am?"
Li Muchan said gently, "The senior should be the 'Thousand Faces Young Master' Wang Lianhua from back then."
Hearing this name, the green-robed guest smiled wistfully, "Hahaha, it's been so many years since I've heard these four words."
Before the laughter died down, the man's tone suddenly turned softer and he asked, "What's the child's name?"
" Pharmacist Li." Li Muchan said.
"Pharmacist Li... Pharmacist Li..." Wang Lianhua closed her eyes and muttered the name several times. "The surname is Li, so it should be correct."
The man had a complicated expression , with a sense of melancholy, sighing, and a hint of sadness.
"Poor Yu'er died like this."
This is referring to Gongzi Yu.
"How did he die?"
"He died together with Zhu Si."
Wang Lianhua fell silent after hearing this. After a long pause, she spoke, "I believe you. It's not that I'm overly suspicious, but someone landed on this island a month ago and lingered outside for a long time. I'm afraid it's a scam, so I don't dare to trust them. And with those people landing on the island today, I'm not afraid of life or death and can go out and fight them. But if I leave and Shen Lang and Xiongmaoer haven't returned yet, what will Zhu Qiqi do?"
It turned out that the woman on the stone bed was Shen Lang’s first wife, Zhu Qiqi.
Li Muchan wondered, "Perhaps the person lingering here is a friend, not an enemy?"
Just because he thought of the flying swordsman.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lianhua said with certainty, "Impossible! That person has bad intentions. He clearly knows where we are hiding, but just can't find the entrance."
"It's not a flying swordsman," Li Muchan's mind raced, and soon another thought popped up, "So, is there another expert on the island?"
Suddenly, he thought of the girl named Axiu.
This island is full of dangers, how could a weak woman be here?
"This sea of fog never dissipates year-round, and no one knows exactly how many broken islands are hidden within it," Wang Lianhua reminded. "But to arrange these islands like this is no small feat; it must be someone of great power. Shen Lang had a bold guess: he suspected the owner of these broken islands was some long-dead martial arts master."
Li Muchan said in a deep voice: "Venerable Ashura?"
Wang Lianhua nodded, "Not bad."
The man looked at Zhu Qiqi lying on the bed again, stood up and took out a jade box from the hidden room. Inside the box were a number of golden needles.
Li Muchan only took a glance and his expression changed immediately.
This was because the golden needles were tempered with a deadly poison, some were as green as ink, some were blue, and some were purple and black, with different thicknesses. Wang Lianhua then used her internal energy to push the golden needles into Zhu Qiqi's acupuncture points.
"After taking cardamom, the body's internal functions will stop working, so the injury will not worsen. However, if you want to recover, you still need to use external force to coordinate it."
Li Muchan was not interested in this kind of treatment. He was still thinking about the matter of Asura Venerable. He asked , "Haven't you ever dealt with him before?"
Wang Lianhua lowered her head while administering acupuncture as she replied, "I've tried several times, but that person, like Zhu Da, is very secretive and mysterious. Plus, there are also experts guarding the area, so we've mostly returned empty-handed. But Shen Lang once said that when he was in and out of the sea of fog, he did encounter a very terrifying aura. But that person never showed up, nor did they engage him. He was so elusive, it seemed like he had other motives."
Li Muchan pondered, "Not only does he have other plans, but this person must have something very big. If he doesn't move, it's fine. But if he does, it will shake the world."
Wang Lianhua continued, "This person is too mysterious. We can still be wary of Zhu Da, but we have lived here for many years and don't even know whether he is a man or a woman, old or young."
As if realizing something, Li Muchan's eyes flickered, "Zhu Da once said that Venerable Ashura was his senior brother."
Wang Lianhua looked at him coldly, "Before you see this person with your own eyes, this Ashura Venerable could be a man or a woman. Even if he is a eunuch or a child, you can never just believe that he is a man."
Li Muchan took a deep breath and sighed softly, "You're right."
Seeing Wang Lianhua looking at him with an inquiring look, he immediately expressed his guess.
Wang Lianhua's eyes lit up, and she pondered, "That girl is definitely not as simple as she appears. Perhaps she has a close connection with Venerable Ashura, or perhaps she is the so-called founder of the Demon Cult."
While she was talking, Wang Lianhua had finished her acupuncture and pointed at Zhu Qiqi lying on the stone bed. "There's no time to lose. Carry her on your back and let's leave now."
"good."
Li Muchan did as he was told. He just wrapped up the person on the bed and without pausing for long, he jumped into the cold pond and returned along the same route.
The white-robed swordsman was outside, staring at the sword marks on the mountain wall for a long time, until he saw movement on the water surface, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Li Muchan jumped out of the water carrying Zhu Qiqi on his back, and used his true energy to dry their clothes before stopping at the surface of the water.
But he suddenly twitched his nostrils very slightly, as if he smelled something.
"Why does Zhu Qiqi have a familiar medicinal smell?" Li Muchan's eyes suddenly changed. "What is this medicinal smell..."
“Wow!”
One after another, Wang Lianhua also broke out of the water.
This man was indeed the Thousand Faces Young Master who was famous in the martial arts world back then. Even though he was old, he was still full of evil charm, and his every move was graceful and elegant. He just glanced at the white-clothed swordsman beside Li Muchan, and suddenly he took a deep breath and soared into the sky.
But just as they left the crack on the island, the many meteorites floating in the sky began to shake and tremble slightly, and then seemed to lose the power to stay in the air, and fell down rapidly, like a rain of meteors, smashing down on everyone on the island.
For some unknown reason, the entire island began to rumble and tremble, as if a huge wave was crashing against the shore, or a giant dragon was turning over. The earth was shaking and it seemed as if it was about to collapse.
Li Muchan dodged the falling rocks overhead and asked in surprise, "How could this happen? Could something have happened on the island?"
Wang Lianhua frowned slightly, her eyes dark, and she said calmly, "Perhaps it was Zhu Dadong's doing."
"That should be it."
As Li Muchan spoke, he slowly lowered his eyelids and hid his gaze.
There's something wrong with this guy.
