Thousands of disciples standing outside the gate of Xiaoyao Hall were all stunned at the scene in front of them. They didn't know why the eldest brother would have a happy conversation with the bloodthirsty demon who killed his fellow disciples. Is it because of the brotherhood of the same disciples?
They also didn't understand why the always gentle senior brother would suddenly kill Li Ding with a knife. What was the difference between this and Mo Wentian, who they thought was like a demon?
However, Li Yuanji's prestige was not comparable to that of Mo Wentian, so no one raised any questions. Yuan Hao also pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word. This is what Li Yuanji has been doing in Xiaoyao Sect for more than ten years.
Under authority, who dares to disobey?
"Okay! It's all gone. Why don't you just stand here and practice?"
Li Yuanji swept his hands over everyone's faces one by one, not showing off his anger, and then made a "please" gesture to Mo Wentian. Mo Wentian composed himself and took the lead to return to Xiaoyao Hall.
, Li Yuanji took a step behind, stretched out his hand, and the door of Xiaoyao Palace was firmly closed again behind him.
It wasn't until Mo Wentian and Li Yuanji disappeared in front of everyone, and thousands of disciples with different expressions on their faces, that they came back to their senses and looked at the blood-stained stone steps in front of the temple, each with their own thoughts in their hearts.
He thought, silently turned around and walked down the mountain.
At this moment, a petite figure was rushing towards the top of the mountain. Qiuqiu didn't know martial arts. Even if she ran with all her strength, she couldn't keep up with Li Yuanji's graceful pace. Qiuqiu didn't dare to take the main road because according to the rules of the sect, she
You can't go up the mountain, so you can only walk up the forest path with difficulty.
Qiuqiu's face was full of anxiety at this time, and she was dripping with sweat. Her hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face. Her clothes accidentally got a small cut on her shoulders, but the little girl didn't dare
She stopped, fearing that she would be late and never see Senior Brother Mo again.
"oops."
A tender cry came from Qiuqiu's mouth. Because she was in a panic, her foot slipped and she fell to the ground. Qiuqiu struggled to get up, but found a heartbreaking pain coming from her ankle. Before she could
He stood up again and fell down again.
Perhaps Qiuqiu's voice was too obvious in the silent woods. A figure followed the sound and soon came to Qiuqiu. This was a young man in gray clothes, carrying a huge long sword on his back.
knife.
The young man in gray clothes and Qiuqiu looked at each other, and they were both stunned. After a moment, the young man in gray clothes let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Qiu...Qiuqiu...?"
…
The thousands of disciples who originally gathered outside Xiaoyao Hall have left one after another. Except for the ordinary disciples who collected the bodies of Tian Yu and others, there were only two people left under the shadow of the trees, who were disguised as Xiaoyao sect disciples.
lozzi and friday.
"Junior sister, what should we do now?"
At this time, Luo Qi had no intention of discussing the title issue with Friday. Instead, she frowned and looked at the closed door of Xiaoyao Palace. Up to now, the development of the whole matter was completely out of her control.
.
"We can only wait and see, but at least now it seems that the boy is not in any danger. Let's go back to Thorn Village first."
After saying these words, Luo Qi turned around and left. Friday naturally would not object and followed Luo Qi step by step, then followed the people who came down the mountain.
Just after Luo Qi and Wu Wu left, Mo Wentian and Li Yuanji were sitting on both sides of the main seat in Xiaoyao Hall. Not far away, there was a corpse that had been cut in half, exuding a rich aroma.
The smell of blood.
"Senior brother, I didn't expect that in just over half a month, you would actually start practicing swordsmanship with your left hand."
Just after sitting down, Mo Wentian did not dare to relax at all. He held the handle of the broken knife tightly with his right hand. There was no one else here except a corpse. The two of them could open the skylight and speak openly without any scruples.
"Junior brother, you don't need to provoke me. I think I have expressed enough sincerity before."
Mo Wentian smiled slightly. He already knew why Li Yuanji returned to Xiaoyao Mountain at this time, but he absolutely did not believe that Li Yuanji was a man who repaid evil with kindness. The reason why he was willing to enter the palace to talk to Li Yuanji was
More importantly, I have a feeling of guilt towards the Xiaoyao Sect, or in other words, a feeling of guilt towards my master, Xiaoyaozi.
"Yes, use four fingers to exchange a life. Senior brother, this deal is very clear."
Even so, Mo Wentian would not show mercy to Li Yuanji. If he had not traveled through time inexplicably, the original Mo Wentian would have died under Li Yuanji's sword.
"Let's leave this matter aside for now. Besides, isn't my junior brother sitting in front of me alive now?"
Mo Wentian will never forget the life and death struggle after he woke up in the knife hiding room, nor will he forget the first scene that appeared in his memory, that piece of light. However, ever since Mo Wentian dealt with the knife, he will never forget it.
The deeper his understanding of Tao became, the more he felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.
For a long time, Mo Wentian had suspected that Li Yuanji's purpose of assassinating him was not just for the Qingming Sword Manual, but now it seemed that Li Yuanji would not tell him the answer to the mystery, so Mo Wentian
He also waved his hand, signaling to skip the topic.
"After I left Chucheng, I didn't pay attention to the results of the competition. Could it be that you have been seriously injured and the competition is still going on?"
Mo Wentian returned to the issue Li Yuanji talked about before. He was a little confused. Since Li Yuanji had colluded with the Chu royal family, why didn't the game stop immediately after Li Yuanji was seriously injured?
"Oh, my junior brother is thinking too simply. Although our Xiaoyao sect has been protecting the country for decades, it is not the only one who can speak in the Chu Kingdom, especially the Duanyue sect, which is rising rapidly now.
Strength cannot be underestimated.”
Regarding this point, Mo Wentian came to an understanding after thinking about it for a while. After all, a country does not rely on just one sect, but relies on the power of countless sects around it to gain a foothold in this world, so
, even if the Xiaoyao sect is the dominant family in Chu State, all sects need to prosper and develop together to ensure the long-term prosperity of this country.
Therefore, among the original championship rewards of this competition, the so-called one that the sect can challenge the status of the Xiaoyao Sect to protect the country was just a kind of encouragement and support for each sect. Who would have thought that the champion belonged to Li Yuan, who was loved by all the people?
The machine was launched, but was destroyed by Mo Wentian midway.
Naturally, the Chu royal family couldn't keep their word, so they gave in to the Duanyue Sect and seized such an opportunity that was not an opportunity!
"The champion of the final competition, as you just guessed, is Xiao Xiao from the Duanyue Sect!"
"So, one month after the competition ends, the Duanyue Sect will immediately launch a challenge to our sect, and now, there is only less than half a month left!"
From another perspective, Mo Wentian has indeed caused big trouble for Xiaoyao Sect. Now Master Xiaoyaozi has left the mountain and has not returned, second brother Chu Yu is missing, and senior brother Li Yuanji has lost his right hand. It can be said that in
At this point in time, the Xiaoyao Sect is definitely at its most vulnerable!
"Today, our Xiaoyao Sect is like a castle in the sky. It looks beautiful and gorgeous, but in fact it is already crumbling and will collapse at any time. Outsiders only know that our Xiaoyao Sect is to protect the country, but they don't know that this green Xiaoyao Mountain is
It’s already in the midst of the storm.”
Li Yuanji sighed slightly, his eyes seemed to be overlooking the entire Xiaoyao Mountains through the gate of Xiaoyao Hall, and he seemed to see a mountain full of holes. A complex emotion was revealed from his eyes.
It seemed like a fake, and Mo Wentian couldn't help but question his own judgment.
"Is this Li Yuanji the same Li Yuanji who struck me with a knife?"
It seemed that it took Li Yuanji a long time to break away from the inexplicable emotions and become the carefree senior brother again. He paused and continued to speak.
"Looking at the Duanyue Sect, although the leader is not as powerful as the master, there are three elders under the leader, as well as elite disciples like Xiao Xiao, so..."
Having said this, Li Yuanji turned around, looked at Mo Wentian, and bowed forward slightly.
"I need your help!"
At this moment, in Mo Wentian's heart, for some reason, he had a very strange feeling. Just like when he saw the sword light in his memory, there was always an indescribable intuition in his heart. Could it be that Li Yuanji
Do you really love this sect so much?
"However, I don't think that the strength of the two of us is enough to compete with the head of the Duanyue Sect, let alone the three elders you mentioned, even Xiao Xiao, given your current situation..."
Mo Wentian did not continue, because after all, Li Yuanji's right hand was destroyed by his own hands. Although Mo Wentian did not feel any guilt about this, he was still very worried about this crisis of the Xiaoyao Sect.
"It doesn't matter. I have already begged Mr. Huo to take action and hold back the leader of the Duanyue Sect. As for the others, after all, we still have half a month, right?"
Mo Wentian was extremely conflicted about this. He naturally did not want Li Yuanji to become the unreachable opponent in his eyes again, but he had to admit that among the Xiaoyao sect, the only one who had the hope of defeating the challenge of the Duanyue sect was
It's on Li Yuanji.
Facing Li Yuanji's warm face, the fire in Mo Wentian's heart grew stronger again. If Li Yuanji is the hope of the Xiaoyao Sect, then why can't he also become the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect?
!
Mo Wentian's hand held the broken knife tighter, and a breath of turbid breath slowly came out of his mouth. He looked at Li Yuanji, his eyes bursting with heat.
"Senior brother, you didn't attack me immediately after you returned to the mountain because you are a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect and you were worried about the crisis in the sect. So, why am I not the same?"
