Volume 8: The Jianghu Chapter 375: The Son is Lost
Looking at the figure of the man in white walking away, the heroes on Wudang Mountain looked at each other in horror.
After a brief moment of shock, the expressions gradually became subtle.
Since this person came for Li Muchan, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Nowadays, the top masters of the Central Plains martial arts world either hide in seclusion, or are nowhere to be found, or simply go overseas. It is very rare that there are very few people who can fight with them.
Now that Xie Xiaofeng's daughter has been kidnapped, I wonder if the third young master, who has been secluded from the sword for many years, will reappear in the world?
Then there is the leader of the Tianqin Sect.
Ever since he was defeated by Li Muchan thirteen years ago, this man has been secluded in seclusion, practicing hard and honing the "Phoenix Flying Together" technique over and over again, making it more and more exquisite, to the point where there is nothing left to change or practice. He has almost become the true king of boxing and the best boxer in the martial arts world.
However, what everyone is most looking forward to is Li Yeer, the leader of the Tianxia Alliance.
And this expectation includes too many things.
Because the Tianxia Alliance has dominated the world for too long.
Nowadays, various factions have grown stronger, and masters from all walks of life have gradually emerged. Most of them, and most of their factions, have reached the so-called pinnacle. But for the rest of their lives, those at the top have to look up to others, to that towering mountain, always feeling inferior.
World Alliance.
Their peak is at the feet of others.
Therefore, if these people want to advance again, they can only hope that the towering tree of Tianxia Alliance will fall.
Only in this way can you have a real chance to reach the top.
People are always like this. At the beginning of turmoil, all they desire is stability. However, once the stability lasts for a long time, as they grow stronger, their desires and ambitions will grow. Instead, they will look forward to new turmoil and even create turmoil with their own hands.
However, after Li Ye'er married Kong Que a few years ago, she rarely appeared in public and disappeared, as if she was retiring from the world. It is unknown whether she will show up to fight again.
But everyone understands that this is both an opportunity and a good opportunity, and it will definitely not end easily.
For a moment, some people couldn't wait and left quickly, wanting to bring the news back in time.
The heroes left one after another, and in the empty field, Shangguan Shisan was huddled with his father. He looked in the direction the man in white had left. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He asked in confusion, "Dad, was my second brother kidnapped?"
Li Da nodded, "Yeah, it seems like he was kidnapped."
Shangguan Shisan was about to nod, but then his expression changed drastically. He belatedly realized and exclaimed, "Ah, my second brother has been kidnapped?"
After saying this, he strode down the mountain at great speed.
Li Da followed behind slowly, without any panic on his face.
By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had already set. Not only the men in white, but even those gangsters had all left.
Shangguan Shisan was so anxious that he was pacing back and forth. "It's over. My second brother is missing. How am I going to explain this to Mother when I get back?"
"You lost your son?"
As he was speaking, a cold and gloomy voice suddenly floated over in the evening wind.
Both the father and the son were startled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a woman wearing simple clothes and with her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin standing on a small road not far away. She had evil eyes and a bad look on her face.
"Woohoo, my second brother is lost."
Suddenly, two more people walked out from behind the woman. It was another woman, followed by a pretty and lovely girl who was crying with tears in her eyes.
"I want my second brother... I want my second brother!"
※※※
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Li Xiyi was captured by the man in white at this moment. He felt a strong wind blowing on his face and the mountains and rivers flowing backwards. In just a cup of tea, he looked back and could no longer see the shadow of Wudang Mountain.
Li Xiyi was shocked by the white-clothed man's high skills, and said dejectedly, "It's all your fault, crazy girl."
Xie Xiaoyu was already feeling annoyed, and upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Senior, aren't you looking for Li Muchan? This little thief is Li Muchan's son."
The man in white flew up like a flying bird. He glanced at Li Xiyi when he heard this, but did not speak.
Li Xiyi said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're so vicious at such a young age, no wonder you're the young master of the Demon Palace. Oh, forget it, it's just that you like my handsome looks, so why would I give in to you?"
Xie Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "Senior, if you can just help me cut off this little thief's tongue, I promise to help you lure Xie Xiaofeng out."
Li Xiyi shrank back, then said with a smile: "Women are indeed the most vicious. They will cut off people's tongues if they disagree with them. But it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. After all, so many people on Wudang Mountain know that you like me..."
Xie Xiaoyu said bluntly, "How dare you say you are not Li Muchan's son?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiyi put away his cynical look and seemed to be thinking about something.
Xie Xiaoyu sneered when she saw this: "Why, you can't speak?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xiyi suddenly looked at her seriously and said, "If my father was Li Muchan, how could I be so miserable?"
Xie Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, then retorted: "You must be pretending."
"Pretend?" Li Xiyi seemed angry too, his eyes wide, and he said angrily, "Just try pretending. I haven't eaten meat in two months. Even the buns I buy on the street are vegetarian. My father said that my ancestors have been poor for eight generations, and it was only with his generation that he learned some skills and finally had enough food and clothing. If he were Li Muchan... wouldn't that be foolish?"
Xie Xiaoyu was also confused when she heard this.
She suddenly remembered something: Li Xiyi had been arrested, but Li Da was unmoved...
It must be because of fear.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she had really guessed wrong.
Then she angrily said, "Since you are not Li Muchan's son, why do you have the surname Li? You are not allowed to have the surname Li from now on."
Seeing the other party so moody, Li Xiyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then retorted: "My last name is Li, I will piss you off to death."
The two were held by the man in white like two chicks. Seeing them bickering all the way, the man in white seemed to think it was too noisy, so he suddenly let go and threw them away. Then there were two sounds of them falling into the water.
The three of them came to a shallow stream.
Water splashed everywhere. Li Xiyi and Xie Xiaoyu took the opportunity to dive and were about to escape, but the man in white raised his hand and threw two stones, which hit their ankles.
The two people who were paddling quickly suddenly sank to the bottom like dead fish, lying in the stream unable to move.
After a while, when the two of them climbed up to the creek beach with difficulty, their stomachs were already swollen from drinking and they were choking and coughing.
"Let's stop here. If anyone tries to escape again, I'll cut his tendons."
The man in white sat cross-legged on a pile of rocks, left a few words, and then placed his sword across his knees, closing his eyes to rest.
Li Xiyi kept spitting out water from his mouth. He didn't dare to move after hearing that. But when he turned his head and looked, he was stunned.
But Xie Xiaoyu in front of him was now completely soaked in clothes. Her originally ordinary face was washed by the stream water, and the edges of her cheeks seemed to have rolled up their flesh, revealing most of her delicate face that was as white as snow. It turned out to be a disguise.
Xie Xiaoyu noticed the gaze of the person in front of her and immediately looked back fiercely, but she was also stunned by the look.
This is because Li Xiyi's originally dusty appearance has now been cleaned up a lot, and under his messy hair he actually has an unusual face.
"Are you a woman?" Xie Xiaoyu said in disbelief.
Li Xiyi raised his eyebrows and glared when he heard this, and opened his mouth to speak, but as soon as his lips opened, he spit out a lot of water with a "wow" sound.
Xie Xiaoyu soon realized that something was wrong, because Li Xiyi had a distinct Adam's apple and an upright posture. Although his eyebrows and eyes were feminine, he was a real man.
Li Xiyi coughed and pointed at Xie Xiaoyu, cursing, "You crazy girl... you... cough cough..."
Xie Xiaoyu was also choking and coughing at this moment, and she took off the human skin mask on her face. Her originally ordinary appearance instantly became beautiful and charming, with a natural charm between her eyebrows that was captivating.
The man in white, who had been in a trance, opened his eyes again at this time, looked deeply at the changes in the two people, and seemed to be thinking about something.
He felt that Li Xiyi's eyebrows, eyes and facial features were somewhat familiar, and she looked very much like one of the women around that man back then.
As for Xie Xiaoyu, she must have practiced the magic cult's magic of bewitching women. With her almost demonic bone structure and face, she already had the aura of confusing people and bringing chaos to the world before she even grew up.
They are all extraordinary.
Xie Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red, and she finally realized that her clothes were wet and her skin was exposed. She immediately crossed her arms to cover her face and was about to scold Li Xiyi.
But when she looked up, she saw nothing in front of her. Then she looked to the side and saw Li Xiyi, who was smiling foolishly, rummaging through his clothes, groping inside for a while, and then, to his great surprise, he took out a big fish.
"Haha, fish, there's meat to eat."
Li Xiyi jumped up and down, laughing from ear to ear, but he didn't even look at the stunning beauty beside him.
“Eat meat, eat meat…”
The man kept muttering to himself as if he was possessed by a demon. Under Xie Xiaoyu's blank gaze, he actually made a fire, killed the fish, and started roasting it on the spot.
Xie Xiaoyu suddenly murmured to herself, "It seems he really isn't Li Muchan's son. What a shame for his appearance."
When she mentioned the skin, jealousy flashed in her eyes, but then she coldly reminded him, "You little thief surnamed Li, you can still laugh. You are already in a difficult situation and may die without a burial place at any time."
Li Xiyi sniffed the aroma of meat but did not respond. Instead, he looked at Xie Xiaoyu very vigilantly, as if he was afraid that this person would snatch the meat from him.
Xie Xiaoyu suppressed her anger, hugged her knees, and said expressionlessly, "Whether you are Li Muchan's son or not, from the moment we left Wudang Mountain, many people have been thinking about how to capture you and how to kill you."
Li Xiyi didn't care at all, as if he didn't understand the pros and cons of it, and only had eyes for the fish.
Xie Xiaoyu looked at the man in white again and saw him sitting in meditation. His eyes turned quietly and he suddenly waved his right hand, and an extremely difficult to detect flying needle flew out of his sleeve.
The flying needle was as thin as an ox hair, with a blue glow on it, and it was clearly soaked in a deadly poison.
The soul-searching needle that can reach the sky and penetrate the earth.
The flying needle went straight towards Li Xiyi, not hitting a person, but the fish. The needle disappeared in a flash and had already shot into the belly of the fish.
Seeing that the man in white remained unmoved, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling disappointed.
She wanted to see what the man in white would think. If Li Xiyi was really Li Muchan's son, then this man would never sit idly by and watch him die in front of him. At the same time, it was also to test Li Xiyi.
Then Li Xiyi was watching the fire, as if he had not noticed the flying needle at all. He quickly took the grilled fish from the fire and began to eat it voraciously.
Seeing this scene, Xie Xiaoyu completely gave up and simply closed her eyes.
Sure enough, just a few breaths later, Li Xiyi's screams were heard.
"Oh, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much."
The screams came quickly and ended quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was no sound.
Xie Xiaoyu looked calm, and there was no ripple in her heart.
For her, as the young master of Yaohu Demon Palace and also the new owner of Shenjian Villa, she should strive for the top, reach the summit, and even surpass her father.
Therefore, she has been determined since she was young to be like Li Muchan, who can control the world, look down on the world, and make the world bow down to her.
Moreover, she has the confidence and qualifications to challenge upwards.
What does it matter if you kill one person?
Not long after she closed her eyes, fierce murderous intent suddenly attacked from all directions of the creek beach.
A murderous atmosphere suddenly arose, and dozens of ghostly figures appeared in the woods, surrounding and killing each other.
The man in white raised his eyelids, looked up, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
There were thirteen enemies in total. Although they were wearing masks, they were covered with a strong yin aura from head to toe. Every move they made was so sinister that they did not look like living people.
"Eunuch?"
The man in white revealed the other party's identity in one sentence.
He had encountered the evil skills practiced by these people on Zhu Da's boat before.
All those who practice it transform themselves from men into women, and their methods are strange and bizarre.
And these people all came for Xie Xiaoyu.
It's not about killing, but about saving.
A group of people.
Xie Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and when she raised her hand, she took an extremely exquisite tung oil umbrella. She held the umbrella in her left hand and lightly pressed the umbrella handle with her right hand. Immediately, a long sword popped out and fell into her palm.
There is a sword hidden in the umbrella.
The moment Xie Xiaoyu raised the sword, he immediately gave the order: "Retreat."
Instead of progress, we are regressing.
The thirteen people gathered together in an instant, protected him behind them, and tried to withdraw.
The man in white had no change in expression, his eyes were like water, but in his heart he was lamenting the girl's great ambition. She actually dared to join forces with the Zhu family, which was undoubtedly courting disaster.
These thirteen people are well-known in the underworld. They are a killer organization that has emerged in recent years. If Xie Xiaoyu is included in the group, they become the notorious "Fourteen Evils of Lianyun".
Seeing that the man in white did not move, Xie Xiaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and kept retreating.
But in the next moment, the pile of rocks was empty, and a white shadow flashed in the air and squeezed into the formation formed by fourteen people.
"kill!"
Xie Xiaoyu's eyes turned fierce, and she opened the green umbrella in her hand. A circle of sword blades flew out into the air. At the same time, she raised the sword in her right hand, and the sword shadows moved back and forth. It turned out to be the secret sword of the Demon Cult, the Nine Soul-Captivating Styles.
But just as they were about to start fighting , Xie Xiaoyu suddenly discovered something extremely strange. He saw a figure that was originally dead next to the fire on the creek beach, but while they were fighting, he quickly got up with his hands and feet, and then turned around and ran away without saying a word.
At this moment, the corners of Xie Xiaoyu's eyes shrank and her pretty face became stiff.
This guy is actually pretending to be dead!!!
How could that be?
How is that possible?
In an instant, countless thoughts popped up in her mind. Xie Xiaoyu even saw Li Xiyi running away while turning back to grin at her, and his smile was very playful.
Could it be that this person is hiding his true abilities and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
Xie Xiaoyu's heart trembled, and her blood rushed up. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but suddenly a sword flashed in front of her eyes, and then thirteen heads suddenly rose into the air, each with their eyes wide open, and not even a scream was heard.
Xie Xiaoyu suddenly froze, motionless, and then her eyelids twitched, and she saw streams of hot blood gushing out from her side, turning into a bloody rain all over the sky.
What a terrifying sword technique.
The man in white had no expression on his face. He rushed into the forest as fast as the wind and came back in a blink of an eye, holding someone in his hand.
Li Xiyi looked at the still twitching corpse on the ground, his face pale as he swallowed hard, then revealed a smile uglier than crying. "Senior, do you believe me when I say I just want to go to the forest to relieve myself?"
