The owner of the Sword Palace, Qiu Xianguang, stood alone in front of the ruins of Wanren Mountain. The scene in front of him made him sigh. After the incident, in just one day, more than a thousand disciples of the Sword Palace left on their own. Some of them were disappointed in the Sword Palace, but more were worried that the strong enemy would attack again, fearing that they would be implicated, and even the two elders were missing.
Although Li Chenzhou came to the Sword Palace to express his condolences, Qiu Xianguang could feel his dissatisfaction with him behind his back.
Stepping on Wanren Mountain, which became a ruin under his feet, looking at the sword pavilion that broke from each other in the distance, Qiu Xianguang suddenly realized that the sword palace had been over, and the sword palace no longer existed from the moment Lin Baitao left. What was left was just an empty shell. Over the years, he had struggled to maintain this empty shell, and in the end he had nothing but confirmed one thing that he and even the entire sword palace were just tools to be used. No one would care about himself, and no one cared about his son's life or death.
A figure appeared silently behind him. If the sunset had not lengthened his figure and the shadow enveloped Qiu Xianguang, Qiu Xianguang would not have noticed it at all. He looked behind him in surprise and saw Ji Feihua. His heart was instantly occupied by fear. He had thought that the other party might come back to take revenge on the Sword Palace, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
Qiu Xianguang had seen the opponent's force and knew that he had no chance to win under the opponent's men. There was no one else here, and Qiu Xianguang didn't have to care about any face. There was no need to do anything to slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat. He sighed and said, "Are you here to kill me?"
Ji Feihua looked at Qiu Xianguang calmly and said, "I'll kill you long ago, so there's no need to come back specifically."
When Qiu Xianguang heard that the other party was not trying to kill him, he felt relieved. Although he had a bad life recently, no one wanted to die. What's more, he still had the heart to do it. His only son Qiu Mubai is still alive and dead.
Ji Feihua said: "Your son is in the hands of the Heihu people."
When Qiu Xianguang heard the news about his son, he moved his eyebrows. Although he didn't know the other party, he believed that Ji Feihua would not deceive him.
Ji Feihua said: "Everything was planned by King Xue Shengjing of Yan. He colluded with the Heihu people and intended to get rid of Yuchi Chong. In his plan, eliminating the forces around Li Chenzhou is also an important part, so he took action to deal with you. Jiangong and Heihu have been revenge for generations. If you want the Heihu people to deal with you, there is no need to mobilize at all."
Qiu Xianguang said: "Do you know his whereabouts?"
Ji Feihua nodded and handed Qiu Xianguang the address he had written: "Although I don't know your relationship with Ren Tianqing in Xuantian Pavilion, I know that he has a close relationship with King Yan and belongs to the same camp. You have been exploited by him today."
Qiu Xianguang widened his eyes and looked stunned.
Ji Feihua said: "You can't deal with those black beard masters with your strength. You should know what to do."
Qiu Xianguang opened the letter and took a quick look. He said in a deep voice: "How do you know you are not using me?"
Ji Feihua laughed and said, "You are so proud of yourself. Your son's life is now in your own hands. Whether you die or live is up to you." After she said this, she turned around and left, and disappeared from Qiu Xianguang's vision in an instant.
Li Chenzhou looked at Qiu Xianguang and frowned: "Where did you get the news?"
Qiu Xianguang said: "After working hard to investigate, the Heihu National Master Gangbala and several Heihu masters are all hiding in the Dogtou Mountain. All signs indicate that Mu Bai was captured by them."
Li Chenzhou said: "You decided to start the action tonight?"
Qiu Xianguang nodded heavily and said, "Whether for Mu Bai, for the Sword Palace, or for the interests of Dayong, I will eradicate these Hu people!"
Li Chenzhou slowly stood up, walked a few steps, looked at the sunset outside the window, and was hesitant. Qiu Xianguang changed his previous actions of concealing information and reported the traces of the Heihu National Master to himself. His transformation was too sudden. Will there be any fraud?
Qiu Xianguang said: "I dare to ask the Grand Governor, where is Shangguan Yunchong?"
Li Chenzhou's back was still there, and the crack between him and Qiu Xianguang was born here. In fact, even if he was exploited by Shangguan Yunchong, the development of things gradually deviated from his control since the assassination of Yuchi Chong.
Li Chenzhou sighed and said, "I don't know that this person is traitorous and loyal to me on the surface, but he is slanderous, but in fact he has a secret conversation with the Heihu people."
Qiu Xianguang said: "I would like to ask the Grand Governor to help me."
Li Chenzhou whispered: "Did you ask me to send troops?"
Qiu Xianguang said: "In order to ensure Mu Bai's safety, it is not advisable to mobilize many troops in this matter."
Li Chenzhou turned to Qiu Xianguang and nodded, "I understand!"
Hu Xiaotian came to Taohuatan, Goutou Mountain with the cover of the night. This is where he killed the purple lightning python and discovered the water cave. Today, Hu Xiaotian carried the sword demon Dongfang Wuwo's remains back here again. He was sure that there was no one around. Hu Xiaotian sneaked into Taohuatan. Although it was cold and frozen after the blizzard, the water in Taohuatan was still not frozen. Hu Xiaotian dived deeper and deeper. When he came to the depths, he saw crescent jellyfish floating in the water. Although those jellyfish were beautiful, they had extremely strong toxicity, but they were too far away from Hu Xiaotian. Often, wherever Hu Xiaotian swam, those crescent jellyfish immediately fled.
Hu Xiaotian successfully entered the water cave. The first thing he saw when he entered the cave was a long white bone, which was the purple-electric giant python he killed back then. After he killed the purple-electric giant python, he even slashed his skin. A few years later, the blood and flesh of the purple-electric giant python had corroded into mud, leaving only a lot of white bones.
The smell in the cave was not good. Hu Xiaotian came to the depths and took out the ashes of the sword demon Dongfang Wuwo, dug a pit on the ground, buried the ashes, and piled up a small pile of earth to be considered Dongfang Wuwo's tomb. Hu Xiaotian knelt down in front of the tomb, kowtowed three times and said, "Master, you have done the first thing you have told me. The first thing I have done. In the future, you and my senior brother will look around here. This purple electric python will be regarded as my sacrifice to you."
I thought to myself that Dongfang Wuwo’s sword skills are unparalleled, Lin Baitao’s heroic power is the world, and in the end, the dust is still returned to the dust. No matter how cool the characters are, they cannot escape death. Isn’t that the same? I have plenty of time to squander while I am young and have to enjoy my life. It’s a pity that the world is too turbulent and there are too many hidden crises. If I cannot eliminate the hidden dangers, I’m afraid my good days will not last a few days.
Hu Xiaotian buried Dongfang Wuwo, and then returned to Taohuatan along the original road and slowly surfaced. At this time, it was already the middle of the moon, and the light filled the ground, illuminating the entire Taohuatan as bright as day.
As soon as Hu Xiaotian showed his head from the water, he saw a tall figure standing there on the shore, but Ji Feihua looked at him with a smile.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Ji, how did you find me?"
Ji Feihua smiled slightly, raised the hilt of the lightsword in her hand, and the green light kept flashing.
Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart. This thing was like GPS positioning, and he would definitely have nowhere to hide in front of Ji Feihua in the future. He climbed up from the pool because he was wearing special water inside, and the cold pool water could not wet his body.
Ji Feihua handed over the clothes he hung on the tree. Hu Xiaotian said while putting on the clothes: "What's the situation in the Sword Palace?" It was he who asked Ji Feihua to reveal the news about Qiu Mubai to Qiu Xianguang.
Ji Feihua said: "Li Chenzhou went out in person, and there are many experts besides him."
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "It seems that there will be a good show tonight."
Ji Fei gave him a blank look and said, "Li Chenzhou is not a simple person either. Do you think he will be used so easily?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Li Chenzhou is smart, he is also very curious. Shangguan Yunchong took advantage of him, and Qiu Xianguang also deviated from him because of his son's affairs. If he doesn't take action this time, it is equivalent to pushing Qiu Xianguang away from him. The Sword Palace should still have value in using it."
Ji Feihua said: "Your original intention is not to help Jiangong, is it?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Xue Shengjing, the old fox, colluded with Hei Hu, and used Qin Yutong's design to harm me. How could I make him proud?"
Ji Feihua couldn't help but smile and said, "But there is no definite evidence that Xue Shengjing has colluded with the Heihu master here."
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go."
Ji Feihua's bright eyes lit up. This made her feel very heartful, but she didn't know that Hu Xiaotian's words were a picky man. Moreover, Hu Xiaotian's purpose was very clear tonight. Even if these Heihu people had nothing to do with Xue Shengjing, the Heihu national master Gangbala came from Fanyin Temple. Hu Xiaotian once promised his master Dongfang Wuwo. The second condition was that he helped to eliminate Fanyin Temple. Killing Gangbala would be equivalent to severely damaging Fanyin Temple.
Li Chenzhou and his party had already arrived outside the ruins on the eastern foot of Goutou Mountain. This was once a manor owned by the Black Hu merchant Zawan. Later, because of a dispute with Hu Xiaotian for the Baojun Record, in order to cover up the traces and cut off the clues, the Black Hu people burned the place.
Although Li Chenzhou and others knew some of the connections between this place and the Heihu people, they all thought that this ruin was uninhabited, but unexpectedly they became the place where the Heihu people imprisoned Qiu Mubai.
Shi Kuan, the commander of the Jinlin Guard, said: "It doesn't look like someone is here." As he spoke, he stared at Qiu Xianguang, the master of the Sword Palace.
Qiu Xianguang couldn't help feeling a little nervous at this time. He just got the news from Ji Feihua and came rashly, and he had not undergone a field investigation.
Li Chenzhou turned around and a man in black who was wrapped tightly around him, with only a pair of eyes exposed, nodded. The hawk on the shoulder of the man in black shook his wings, like a flash of power toward the sky above the ruins.
Li Chenzhou chased the eagle falcon with his eyes and whispered: "As long as they are here, even if they are digging three feet into the ground, we will dig them out!"
