Qiu Bufeng sat on the throne with a frown on his face.
His junior brother Fei Wei stood silently aside, bowing his head and saying nothing.
After a long time, Qiu Bufeng picked up the tea cup, took a sip and asked, "Are you sure that the skill of the sword-wielding man is comparable to that of the Jade-faced Demon Sword?"
Who else could he ask, and naturally it was Mu Shilan.
Fei Wei, who returned from Huanyan Pavilion, had just reported what happened to Huanyan Pavilion to his senior brother.
Fei Wei nodded: "Probably."
Qiu Bufan let out a long sigh: "This is difficult to handle. A jade-faced demon sword has already made people panic, but I didn't expect that another demon would appear now. What's even worse is that the two of them are still friends. According to me,
The current focus is to deal with Nie Yunfei who may appear at any time, so we should not provoke the Huanyan Pavilion for the time being."
Fei Wei cupped his hands and said: "That's what I mean. Now, the cultivation of those two people is really too terrifying. We at Tianlan Peak alone cannot afford to provoke them. Secondly, it is said that Huanyan Pavilion has already
The white jade piece was given to the Jade-faced Demon Sword. Now that there is no white jade piece in the Huanyan Pavilion, it is really not worth the loss of troops. Since they want to return to the Jiuzhou arena, it is up to them. At this juncture, it is better to make fewer enemies.
.”
Qiu Bufeng nodded slightly: "I understand what you said, but what I'm worried about now is... Junior brother, do you think we, Tianlan Peak, can handle it if Nie Yunfei appears again?"
Fei Wei pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "It's hard to say. After all, no one has ever seen how far one can reach after comprehending the "Human Scripture". If... then the traitor's cultivation when he appears again can be comparable to that of Jade
The Demonic Face Sword is probably...dangerous."
Qiu Bufeng said in a deep voice: "With all the strength of the sect, can't we suppress the cultivation of the Jade Faced Demon Sword?"
Fei Wei twirled the black beard on his chin and muttered: "If we risk our lives, we don't know whether we can hold down the Jade-Faced Demon Sword. But what if the traitor has a higher level of cultivation than the Jade-Faced Demon Sword after studying the Human Sutra?"
If that's the case, senior brother, we have to make plans as soon as possible."
Qiu Bufeng stood up and walked back and forth in the meeting hall of Nuo University for two full times before hesitatingly asked: "Junior brother, do you want to invite them to come out?"
Fei Wei gritted his teeth and nodded.
Qiu Bufeng took a breath: "But our Tianlan Peak is a well-known and upright sect after all. If we ask the two of them to take action, I'm afraid..."
Fei Wei clasped his fists and said: "It is a major matter concerning the survival of the sect, how can we care about these false reputations!"
Qiu Bufeng slowly walked back to the main seat, picked up the tea cup and rubbed it in his hands, and fell into deep thought again.
Scenes from the past appeared before his eyes.
It turns out that besides Qiu Bufeng, there was another candidate for the head of Tianlan Peak back then, named Ji Wuchang.
This person is better than Qiu Bufeng in both talent and skill.
Logically speaking, Ji Wuchang should be the one to succeed Qiu Bufeng as the leader.
But Ji Wuchang's way of cultivation made the then headmaster very displeased.
In the words of the then leader, Ji Wuchang was going further and further towards the evil sword.
It turns out that in this Ji's concept of impermanence, he believed that all external martial arts in the world, no matter how hard they practiced, would stagnate after reaching a certain height.
If you want to break through, the key is to cultivate your internal strength.
The same move, if the internal strength is different, will produce completely different power.
Innate talent directly affects the height a person can achieve in his lifetime.
Although Ji Wuchang has a good talent, there is still a clear gap between him and those with excellent talent.
For example, there are eight exquisite meridians like Mu Shilan.
Therefore, he became obsessed with studying postnatal methods to reverse the eight strange meridians that affected his talent.
His goal is to forcibly upgrade his eight extraordinary meridians to the level of the eight exquisite meridians.
At the risk of damaging his meridians, after countless repeated attempts, he finally came up with a feasible method.
poison!
Extremely poisonous!!
He discovered that the venom of the blue-tailed scorpion, which is extremely difficult to find and extremely poisonous, can very efficiently stimulate the potential of the meridians throughout the body.
But it is a highly poisonous poison after all. If it were used on the human body, I am afraid that the meridians would be dead before their potential is stimulated.
Ji Wuchang did not give up and continued to try hard, and finally he discovered a way to perfectly restrain the poison of the blue-tailed scorpion.
Another highly toxic!!
The pollen of the ink-dropped flower!
If these two poisons are applied to the human body at the same time, they can offset each other's toxicity.
However, it is necessary to master the precise dosage to achieve a delicate balance between the two. If the intake of one poison is unbalanced, it will cause death immediately.
After mastering this method, Ji Wuchang tried the poison on himself day after day. After half a year, the potential stimulated by the eight extraordinary meridians throughout his body was almost comparable to the eight exquisite meridians!
But he also suffered from a lifelong regret.
That is, his body can no longer live without these two poisons. If he does not quench the poison for one day, he will die due to the meridians all over his body dissolving into his own blood.
Even so, Ji Wuchang has no regrets.
He believes that as long as it can improve his cultivation, he can use any method. In order to improve the strength of the sect, he thinks it is worth it!
At that time, a villain suddenly appeared in the world, and he was named "Smiling Rakshasa". He was extremely talented and cultivated.
To this day, when this person is mentioned, many people still get chills all over their bodies.
This man was full of evil, raping, killing, and plundering all the time. Since Tieshan Temple did not care about the affairs of the world at that time, the three famous sects had to send elites to kill him.
What’s surprising is that I can’t hold that guy!
For a time, the three famous families were almost completely disgraced.
So Ji Wuchang took action.
It is said that with just one sword, the evil man was killed.
Although Ji Wuchang's sword is so terrifying, what is even more terrifying is his poisonous sword energy that bursts out with the sword!!
The headmaster of Tianlan Peak at that time was furious and accused him of following an evil path. He ordered him not to enter Tianlan Peak for the rest of his life and expelled him from the school.
After Qiu Bufeng succeeded him as the head of the family, Ji Wuchang also came back to beg for mercy.
Originally, he, Qiu Bufeng, could have let him back out of his brother's affection, but in the end, Qiu Bufeng still had a hard time and refused to agree.
It was just because Qiu Bufen had a junior sister he liked, whom he called Ding Bailu.
But Ding Bailu resolutely left the sect on her own and followed Ji Wuchang.
This incident has made Qiu Bufeng still care about it.
“Brother, head, it’s best to make your decision early!”
Fei Wei's urging brought Qiu Bufeng back from his memories.
Qiu Bufeng looked troubled: "Ji Wuchang once begged me to allow him to return to the sect, but I didn't agree. Now...how can I have the face to say this?"
"Senior brother, it is about the survival of the sect. There is no shame in asking for help! But having said that, after all, Ji Wuchang and his wife came from our Tianlan Peak. If the sect is in trouble, I think... they will not just sit idly by and ignore it.
of."
Qiu Bufeng stood up again and paced back and forth.
…
More than 20 miles north of Tianlan Peak, there is a stream and a thatched house between the Xiaolan Peak Mountain Cols.
The strange medicinal smell filled this small valley.
At this time, an ugly man in his sixties was seen walking out of the thatched house, holding a small clay pot in his hand.
The man's face was haggard, with a strange light purple color on his face. His gray hair had almost fallen off, leaving only a few strands hanging on his bald head.
"Bai Lu, I have prepared all the medicine for next month. Wash out the medicine jar." The man grinned, showing a mouth full of dark brown teeth.
An equally ugly woman responded softly, took the medicine jar, and walked to the stream.
His appearance can only be said to be even worse than that of that man.
In addition to the same bald head and a few strands of hair, her eyebrows have long been gone.
The woman squatted down by the stream and just soaked the medicine jar in the water when a piece of fish and shrimp floated in the stream.
After washing the medicine jar, the woman stood up.
But suddenly, he found a white-bearded man wearing a long sword at his waist and wearing a Tianlan Peak gown standing on the other side of the stream.
Qiu Bu Feng.
"Bai...Bai Lu?" Qiu Bufeng stared at the woman, looking up and down, with surprise on his face, "I haven't seen you for thirty years, and I never thought you would look like this..."
The woman stared blankly at the other party, and after a moment she suddenly exclaimed: "Are you... Bu Feng? Qiu Bu Feng??"
At this time, the ugly man walked out of the thatched house after hearing the sound. When Qiu Bufen saw him, his face became even more shocked.
"Ji...Ji Wuchang?" Qiu Bufeng stared blankly at the ugly face that he no longer dared to recognize.
"Humph. Qiu Bufeng?" Ji Wuchang raised a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.
Qiu Bufeng suppressed the panic on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Wuchang, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are fine."
Ji Wuchang snorted coldly, showed his blackened teeth and said with a ferocious smile: "Master Qiu, is there something wrong?"
Qiu Bufan nodded.
Ji Wuchang still smiled thoughtfully: "Do you have something to do, or do you want to ask for something?"
Qiu Bufan was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and sighed, then whispered: "I have something to ask..."
Ji Wuchang walked to a bluestone beside the stream and sat down, crossed his legs, and just squinted at Qiu Bufeng across the stream, sneering repeatedly and saying nothing.
This weird and ugly face made Qiu Bufeng feel chills all over his body.
"Why, do you dislike your junior brother's current appearance?"
Qiu Bufeng waved his hands repeatedly: "No... I have never disliked you. I think back then, Junior Brother Wuchang was also a jade tree in the wind. In terms of appearance, there is no one on the Tianlan Peak who can compare with you."
Ji Wuchang laughed unscrupulously up to the sky when he heard this, then pointed at Ding Bailu and said: "What about her? You couldn't ask for her back then, but now that she looks like this, will you still care about her in your heart?"
"This..." Qiu Bufeng glanced at the terrifying-looking Ding Bailu, sweating, "Junior Sister Bailu... she was naturally extremely talented back then..."
"That's enough!!" Ji Wuchang suddenly waved his hand and interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense, I know why you are here!"
"You know?" Qiu Bufan was startled.
Ji Wuchang pointed at him and said word by word: "Give me the position of leader, and I will take action."
Before Qiu Bufeng could respond, Ji Wuchang waved his hand and said, "If you don't agree, I won't send you far away."
"you……"
Qiu Bufen took a step forward and stopped talking.
Ji Wuchang sneered: "It's a surprise that Tianlan Peak can survive until now under the rule of a mediocre person like you."
Qiu Bufeng became angry and shouted: "You can't be sarcastic! If you hadn't gone astray back then, the position of the leader would naturally be yours! Okay, you want the position of the leader, right? You should go first
Let me tell you why I came here!"
Ji Wuchang stretched out a finger and said calmly: "First, Nie Yunfei has mastered the "Human Scripture" and will be killed soon."
"Hey!?" Qiu Bufeng took a breath.
Ji Wuchang stretched out another finger and continued: "Second, if the Jade Faced Demon Sword kills five of your disciples but you are helpless, the sect will be disgraced."
Qiu Bufeng's face turned livid, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Ji Wuchang put down his hand and repeated coldly: "Give me the position of leader, and Bai Lu and I will take action. If you don't agree, please leave quickly."
Qiu Bufeng looked troubled when he heard this and looked at Ding Bailu.
Ding Bailu nodded: "What Wu Chang means is what I mean."
The three fell into silence.
But soon Ji Wuchang stood up impatiently and walked towards the thatched house with his hands behind his back.
"good!!!"
Qiu Bufeng suddenly roared, and flocks of birds in the valley were frightened and flew up.
"Compared with the survival of the sect, whether I, Qiu Bufeng, will be the leader is not worth mentioning! Ji Wuchang, as long as you can settle these two things, I will give you the seal of the leader with both hands!!"
Ji Wuchang turned around and grinned, revealing his row of blackened teeth.
