Chapter 8: Dilemma

Li Xuan'er rushed up, raised her hand to seal Hu Xiaotian's acupoint, and said with a smile: "Young Master Hu, you are so stupid. You believe whatever people say. I really don't know what Ke'er likes you?"

Hu Xiaotian was both depressed and annoyed. He knew that the witch was good at acting, but he still inadvertently took her. In fact, Li Xuan'er's strategy was not very clever, but she intentionally or unintentionally used the soul-catching spell, and combined with her stunning face, she could shake any man's will and neglect to prevent it. He said angrily: "Li Xuan'er, what do you want?"

Li Xuan'er brushed her jade hand and took the short sword into her hand. After a brief look, she praised her, "What a sword that blows hair and cuts off her hair. Ming Ruoqiu Shui! Mr. Hu, it's too wasteful for you to keep this sword. It's better to give it to me for self-defense. It's really dangerous for me to walk alone in the world. I wonder if you are willing to give it up?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "I even control my life, let alone this external thing? If you want it, take it away, and there is no need to ask for my opinion in a hypocritical way!"

Li Xuan'er smiled slightly: "Young Master Hu, you are very angry! Since you are Ke'er's husband, you and I are a family. Why do you think so much?"

Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Since it's a family, please untie my acupoints."

Li Xuan'er shook her head and said, "Young Master Hu, it's not that I want to go against you, but that you came to the door on your own initiative. This is God's will. You just hid in the orchard and had a secret talk. Are you going to reach a deal? Where did he go? Will you return later?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "Aren't you proficient in soul-catching **? Why do you need to ask me!"

Li Xuan'er looked cold and said lightly: "Young Master Hu, do you want to try the torture of this sect? I am proficient in thirteen of them and know twenty-two. After you try them one by one, I can guarantee that you are not as good as death. No inch of your skin is left intact on your body."

At this moment, two loud shouts suddenly sounded: "Young Master!" "Show mercy!" Nangong Qiu and Su Haoran saw that Hu Xiaotian had not returned for a long time, so they went out to search for him. They found that he was being restrained from the distance. They couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, and they sacrificed their lives to pounce on him.

Li Xuan'er frowned slightly, put the sword blade on Hu Xiaotian's neck, and shouted: "Stop! Take another step forward, I want your young master to land!"

Nangong Qiu and Su Haoran were shocked when they saw this and hurriedly stood firm. Su Haoran shouted angrily: "Demon, the sword is sharp, don't hurt the young master by chance!" Li Xuan'er said coldly: "Since I know that the sword in my hand, how dare you be rude to me? Sigh three times first!" Hu Xiaotian was furious and shouted: "Li Xuan'er, you want to kill and cut me to come at me, don't humiliate my brother!" Li Xuan'er sneered: "I insist on humiliating him, so what can you do?" He raised his eyes and looked at Su Haoran and said sternly: "Don't move yet

Hand?!" Su Haoran's eyes were wide and split, his face was as red as blood, and his steel teeth were almost broken on the spot. He raised his hand suddenly and slapped his palms three times, making his face swollen and the corners of his mouth cracked. He said in a deep voice: "Li Xuan'er, is it enough?" Li Xuan'er smiled and said: "You are such a loyal guard, good, good. Apart from the two of you, are there any other companions nearby?" Nangong Qiu said without hesitation: "The others are waiting in the tavern. What advice do Miss Li have?"

Li Xuan'er's eyes rolled and said, "You stand in place and don't move, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" He grabbed Hu Xiaotian, jumped back into the thatched cottage, and closed the door.

Nangong Qiu and Su Haoran were afraid of the mouse and had no choice but to clench their fists and bleeding.

Li Xuan'er quickly packed up her personal belongings, grabbed Hu Xiaotian with one hand, jumped out of the back window, and walked away with the cover of dense pear trees. Suddenly, there were so many people in the martial arts world nearby, and no matter what the reason was, it was not advisable to take risks and stay for a long time. If Li Wanjie went back or alarmed Bai Dao Qunxia, ​​it would be too late to leave by then.

Li Xuan'er was extremely cautious and was rarely seen. She ran away from the official road. Once she found an abnormality, she quietly lowered her head and waited for the other party to pass. Although Hu Xiaotian was tall and strong, she was as light as nothing in her hands, which could not affect her body speed at all. Hu Xiaotian was suffering from being unable to use his power to break through the acupoints, and was at her mercy like a wooden sculpture. However, she felt a strong wind rushing to her face and her body rose and fell, which was very similar to the experience of the previous two days! Unlike Yin Tianyun, the person beside him was as beautiful as a flower and his heart was as snake and scorpion, and he would never have any mental disorder. Unless a miracle happened, his fate would be a hundred times more miserable than death.

After about an hour, the two of them entered the uninhabited area of ​​the hills. They were all dry loess slopes with gentle tops, endless, barren and desolate. The ravines between the hillsides were majestic, with only a few vegetation dotted. Even during the day, you could vaguely hear the howls of wild wolves - it was indeed an excellent place to destroy corpses.

Li Xuan'er let go of Hu Xiaotian, jumped to a high place for a tour, then jumped back, and said, "Young Master Hu, no one has come to disturb us. Those who know the truth will answer my questions obediently, otherwise you will also have to express your true words when you suffer."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Miss Li, there are no people around and there are ravines, why not untie my ban? No matter how I run, I can't run out of your palm."

Li Xuaner said coldly: "Dream! Let me talk about it first, how did you deceive Keer?"

How dare Hu Xiaotian tell the details of the overlord's slap, it would be strange if he didn't chop it into meat sauce on the spot! He avoided the important thing and said lightly: "Miss Li, I am sincere to Ke'er, and there is no problem of deceiving her. It is because of this that I decided to marry her and let her have a lifetime of happiness. If you don't believe it, if you meet her and ask her in person another day, you will know that what I said is true."

A sad look flashed across Li Xuan'er's face and said, "The man surnamed Hu, Ke'er violated the rules of the sect for you. I'm afraid that he has been captured by Yuwen Zheng and has sucked his internal energy and blood. Do you want me to go to the underworld to ask her in person? You are so happy for a moment, but Ke'er suffered torture and died. I want you to pay for your life today!"

Hu Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Miss Li, you misunderstood. Ke'er was not persecuted by Yuwen Zheng. She escaped from Baihua Pavilion in time and is safe and sound now." He quickly told me about the day when Qin Ke'er escaped from the brothel and met the Beggars' disciples, and he had to rescue Zuo Yiding. As for the method of relying on disguise and escape, there was no detailed description.

After hearing this, Li Xuan'er became more surprised. It was incredible that Hu Xiaotian could actually tell Qin Ke'er to elope. If he did not have enough strength to guarantee, Qin Ke'er would definitely refuse to betray the sect. How many sects in the world are qualified to compete with Baiyun Sect? If it were ordinary disciples of the sects, Qin Ke'er would rather die than make a decision to defect. Thinking of Hu Xiaotian's extremely powerful mental power, his true identity was about to emerge! Li Xuan'er suddenly asked, "Your surname is Hu, is it that you are the newly accepted disciple of Xuanzong, Hu Qingpeng, the abandoned disciple of Hengshan Sword Sect?" She was deeply favored by Ning Wufan and was able to get in touch with some top-secret information. She happened to learn that Xuanzong had accepted a Han man as his apprentice, which caused huge waves within the Demon Sect and had not calmed down for a long time.

Hu Xiaotian was shocked. A smart woman actually inferred her true identity from a small scale and a half claws! The words have been pointed out, and if you deny it, you will fall behind. He admitted frankly: "Yes, I am Hu Qingpeng. Now he is the closed disciple of the leader of the Divine Cult. He is ordered by his master to practice forbidden merits and travel around the world. Miss Li, if you kill me, it will inevitably trigger a full-scale conflict between the Divine Cult and the Baiyun Sect, and the consequences are unimaginable. Even if you have a deep foundation in Baiyun Sect, you may not be able to withstand the thunder and anger of the leader of the Divine Cult!" Xuanzong is known as the number one master of the underworld, and now the only one who can compare with him is the leader of the Baiyu, the great master of the Baiyu, and even Ning Wufan has to lower himself.

Li Xuan'er's pupils contracted, and she ejaculated with a cold murderous intent, saying, "Who is surnamed Hu, do you still dare to threaten me? Do you really want to die?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "This is not a threat, but to be honest. You don't think that killing me is a trivial matter. My master lets you go? Even if you haven't seen my master with your own eyes, you should have heard of his legendary story. Among all the legends, what will happen to anyone who provokes him? Do I need me to describe it to you?"

Li Xuan'er couldn't help but shuddered and said, "Don't scare me! How could a top master of the underworld reduce his identity and attack me, a junior?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "My master will not kill you personally, but he will definitely kill Ning Wufan! Since you declared war on behalf of Baiyun Sect, there is no reason for this sect not to fight back. Once Ning Wufan dies, Baiyun Sect will be completely destroyed."

Li Xuan'er looked at Hu Xiaotian and talked, as if he was the one who had the upper hand. She was so angry that she really wanted to wave her palms and shoot them down at all. But when she kidnapped Hu Xiaotian, she was seen by the other party's guards. Once Hu Xiaotian was killed, she would definitely not be able to escape the suspect of the murderer. How could Xuanzong's disciples be easy to kill? How could the Demon Cult willingly endure such humiliation? If the two major sects start a full war, the Baiyun Sect will definitely suffer the loss.

After all, the name of Xuanzong's invincibility was not blown out, but won by thousands of ruthless killings, which was enough to make any opponent frightened. She couldn't help but regret why she didn't kill the two guards before leaving and gave them a handle for nothing, so it was difficult to make a decision now. Killing Hu Xiaotian, the consequences were indeed too serious, and it had to be agreed by Ning Wufan. If Hu Xiaotian was let go, he was unwilling to let him go, and it was difficult to practice his own soul-catching.

Hu Xiaotian observed his expression and knew that she had taken the reputation of Xuanzong. He had already retreated in his heart. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Li, I have three urgent needs. Can I make it convenient for me?"

Li Xuan'er was very upset and said angrily: "Why are you so long-winded? Hold it in your hands first!"

Hu Xiaotian said with a bitter face: "I have tried my best, but it is really hard to persevere. If the filthy air hits the girl, wouldn't it be a huge sin? I swear to never take the opportunity to escape."

Li Xuan'er's face turned slightly red, and she frowned unconsciously. She patted Hu Xiaotian's acupoint with no means, then kicked him two or three feet away, and said with a calm face: "Get away!"

Hu Xiaotian got up and pretended to walk to the disadvantage. Li Xuan'er turned her face early and didn't want to take a look. Hu Xiaotian's move was mainly to give her a step to ease the relationship between the two so as not to break the deadlock and cause both sides to suffer losses. The only thing that is worrying is, will Li Xuan'er be willing to give up the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings of the martial arts? As the saying goes, "A woman's heart is a needle under the sea." No matter how clever a man is, he can't guess them.

Before Hu Xiaotian thought of the next countermeasure, he suddenly heard a vague sound of killing in the wind. Then, a large area of ​​dust rose from the distance and gradually approached. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly ran back to Li Xuan'er and whispered: "Miss Li, it seems that a revenge in the martial arts world has occurred. Should we hide first?" Li Xuan'er said angrily: "I'm not blind, why do you need to remind me?" After thinking about it, he threw the short sword back to him, "I have no obligation to protect you. If you are killed by others, it has nothing to do with my Baiyun Sect." Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "Miss Li, if I die in the wilderness, you will be the most suspicious of pursuing it." Li Xuan'er was angry and hated, grabbed him and jumped up the top of the slope, searching for a sunken pit to hide.

After a while, there were more than a thousand steps away, and dozens of masters fought and walked along the gullies between the hillsides, jumping and flying. As the cold light flashed, people screamed and fell from time to time.

Hu Xiaotian looked at it with all his eyes, and couldn't help but feel shocked, and said in a silence: "It's them!" Li Xuan'er had never practiced the heavenly eye ability, so she couldn't see who was coming. After enduring it, she still asked, "Hey, who is the sacred person?" Hu Xiaotian said in a complicated mood: "I recognize the battle front, don't kill monks, Jia Chun, Wang Wanping, Huangfu Ji, etc., as well as the underworld sect leader Yan Ao! Yan Ao is being besieged, and the situation seems to be bad."

It turned out that these gangs of people attacked each other and fought endlessly were all forces trying to seize the mysterious iron secret map. They must have ambushed Mo Hufeng in the west of the city, and then fought all the way from near Chang'an. After all, there were only one iron box, but more than a dozen people wanted to grab it. The iron box has changed hands several times, and now it has been held in Yan Ao's arms. Whether it was him or the masters who had died unjustly before, they had no time to verify whether the iron box was genuine. If they did not kill the monk, Jia Chun and others died.

He was guarding Yan Ao to block the storm-like attack for him. Yan Ao himself waved an iron ruler and was fighting fiercely with Zhan Feng and another man in red. The man in red fisted against the enemy with bare hands, roaring like thunder, and like a god. His boxing technique was like a thunderbolt. Every punching gave others an invincible sense of strangeness, attracting most of Yan Ao's attention. The war front, who has always been known for his bravery, could only become a supporting role, and his light was completely covered up.

Such a character must be Zeng Xiangjie among the four great generals of the Qinglong Society!

Li Xuan'er was moved after hearing this. Any of these were powerful characters, and they would gather together. It was too abnormal. She murmured: "Are they fighting for some treasure? It's not a mysterious iron secret picture?" She thought of this and was eager to try it out.

Hu Xiaotian smelled the mysterious sweet fragrance on her body, swallowed unconsciously, and kindly advised: "Miss Li, these people are already red in their eyes, you'd better not take risks easily. Moreover, as the sect leader of the underworld, Yan Ao's every move must have a deep meaning, so just wait and see what happens." Yan Ao is not the kind of mindless reckless man, so how could he not arrange his retreat in advance? Since he chose to enter this area, there must be his reason.

Li Xuan'er sneered, "Coward! If you are afraid of death, you stay here and don't move. I don't need your help."

As soon as they finished speaking, dozens of men in black appeared silently on the slope near the battle site, quickly spreading to the edge of the battlefield. They took advantage of the opportunity that the masters had no time to distract themselves and took out balls as big as fists, and quickly installed fuses. After igniting them, they immediately raised their hands and threw them down. When the balls were burning in the air, they burst into smoke and fell to the ground like raindrops. Soon the yellow smoke filled the entire ravine.

As the smoke gathered, the man in black flew away and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Xuan'er gasped, and her face looked as ugly as it was. The men in black were clearly Yan Ao's subordinates. They chose to release poisonous smoke at the right time and place, covering all the pursuers. There is no doubt that Yan Ao must have taken the antidote in advance, but it would be difficult for others to inhale poisonous smoke. At the least, the skill will be reduced, and at the worst, the death will be achieved.

I saw dozens of figures rushing out of the yellow smoke, all of which flew to a high place and vomited continuously. Some people reacted very violently, and they vomited blood in big mouthfuls, and they couldn't stand it. When the smoke was blown away by the wind, Yan Ao did not kill the monk, and Jia Chun and his group disappeared. The masters were shocked and angry, and they did not need anyone to greet them. They dispersed and searched for the traces of Yan Ao and others. I wish they could not run far in a short time.

So dying, Zeng Xiangjie actually brought people to search for Hu Xiaotian and Li Xuaner's direction. This bare loess slope is neither blocked by trees nor hidden in rock caves, so I can't hide it from the eyes of experts. Li Xuaner is unwilling to have conflicts with Zeng Xiangjie, and she doesn't want her fellow disciples to see him and the disciple of the Demon Sect leader. She grabbed Hu Xiaotian and ran down the hillside quietly.

Li Xuan'er ran for more than ten miles in one breath and left the accident site from afar. On the way, two pheasants were shot and killed to serve as dinner. At this time, the dark clouds were drooping, and the terrain was pitch black. The two found a hidden valley, raised a bonfire, and were speechless for a moment.

Hu Xiaotian cleaned up the chicken feathers and internal organs, skewed a pheasant with a sword, put it on the fire to grill, secretly glanced at Li Xuan'er, and said, "Miss Li, what are your plans next?"

Li Xuan'er hugged her legs, her chin pressed against her knees, staring at the beating flames, and said for a while: "Don't ask me, I don't know."

Hu Xiaotian kept silent and focused on dealing with the roasted chicken on the sword. In a moment, the chicken was roasted to brown, with a shiny oil and a fragrance. He sighed, "It's a pity that there is no salty spice, and such good ingredients are wasted." As he said that, he handed the roasted pheasant to Li Xuan'er, and skewed another pheasant with branches, and continued to be busy.

Li Xuan'er bit the tender chicken with a small mouth, and looked at Hu Xiaotian who was concentrating from the corner of her eyes. She suddenly felt a heat in her heart. The hilt of the sword in her hand seemed to be burning red, burning hot.
