Chapter 18 Why do I need to kill you ten days later?
Even Murong Xiong's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "Li Family in the Royal Capital".
The Li family in the royal capital is one of the four major families in the royal capital. Not only does it have strong financial resources and many experts, it even has a Wujun in the Nascent Soul realm sitting in charge.
Let alone a small city lord, even the governor of Qingyun County would be frightened when facing the Li family.
Murong Xiong did not expect that the Gu family was hidden so deeply and had such connections as the Li family in the royal capital.
And Gu Shanhe waited for the Gu family, just like looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the young master of the Li family.
"Master Li is here. We didn't come far to welcome you, so please forgive me!" the Gu family said in unison.
"With Mr. Li Ming and Mr. Li here today, justice will definitely be on the side of our Gu family!"
Gu Shanhe said excitedly.
"That's natural."
Li Ming looked proud.
"Hahahahaha!"
But at this moment, Gu Jian, who was standing beside Murong Xiong, laughed loudly.
"Gu Jian, you are on the verge of death, yet you still laugh!"
Gu Feng shouted.
Gu Jian said coldly: "You confuse right and wrong and use the Panlong Cauldron that I took back to please the Li family of the royal capital. You actually have the nerve to say the word justice. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"you!"
Gu Feng was about to yell, but when he thought about Gu Jian's words carefully, he felt something was wrong.
The expressions of the rest of the Gu family changed. How did Gu Jian know that they were going to give the Panlong Cauldron to the Li family?
Could it be...
It wasn't until this moment that they linked the theft of the Gu family to Gu Jian!
Only Gu Jian knew that they owned those swords, only Gu Jian knew the Gu family well, and only he could steal the swords given to them by the Li family without the guards noticing.
"It's you, the one who stole nearly twenty swords from my Gu family!"
The great elder said angrily.
"Gu Jian, hand over the sword and I will spare your life!" The other elders were furious.
"The city lord is here. He said that I stole your things. Please provide evidence."
Gu Jian spread his hands and said.
"Hmph, do you think City Lord Murong is still willing to interfere with your affairs at this time?" Gu Feng sneered.
"Someone, take this kid down!"
Gu Shanhe immediately gave the order.
After saying this, Gu Shanhe looked at Murong Xiong provocatively. With the young master of the Li family and the master of the Yuan Dan Realm here, let's see if you still have the guts to protect Gu Jian.
"Whoever dares to touch Young Master Gu today will be escorted back to the City Lord's Mansion!"
However, instead of being timid, Murong Xiong gave the order.
Wow!
Hundreds of elite soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion wearing armor broke in through the gate of Gu Mansion.
Seeing this scene, many Gu family members had no choice but to turn their attention to Li Ming.
Li Ming didn't panic at all, he stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at Murong Xiong with arrogant eyes.
"Murong Xiong, you are so brave, you actually dare to go against me, Li Ming!"
"Master Gu Jian is my daughter's savior. How can I sit back and watch when he is in danger?!"
Murong Xiong spoke one word at a time, and after finishing speaking, he took a spear from the hands of the adjutant who came to support him, full of domineering attitude.
"If anyone wants to touch Mr. Gu Jian, he must step over my body first!"
"ha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of armored soldiers shouted in unison, with overwhelming momentum.
"That's unreasonable. Do you think your city lord's residence alone has the most people?"
Li Ming was furious.
"Come out of here!"
As Li Ming finished speaking, dozens of Li family warriors jumped from the eaves in all directions, and all of them were masters of the late Qi Refining Realm or even the Pill Condensation Realm!
"Um?"
Seeing this scene, Murong Xiong frowned. Although Li Ming is the son of the Li family, isn't it enough to come to Qingshan City to bring a Yuandan realm master? Why do you bring so many subordinates?
And according to the conversation just now, these subordinates came first.
The Gu family just gave them a Coiling Dragon Cauldron. Why should they mobilize so many troops?
"Murong Xiong, considering that you are an official of the imperial court, take your men and get out of the Gu Mansion now, and I will spare your life!" Li Ming said in a cold tone.
"Humph, if you don't know how to repay your kindness, there is no point in living."
Murong Xiong held the gun in both hands and no longer thought about it, but looked directly at Li Mingdao.
"Uncle Li, kill him."
Li Ming's tone was cold.
Murong Xiong was indeed an official of the court, but he was only a small city lord. As long as the Li family exerted a little pressure, the news of his death might not even get out of Qingyun County, so how could it reach the court?
"yes."
Following Li Ming's order, the old man at his side came to Murong Xiong in one step and slapped his palm fiercely. His strong spiritual energy spread out and tore a hole in the ground, crushing the people in the yard.
No one could even lift their heads.
The martial arts master is really powerful!
"Come on, come on!"
Murong Xiong was not afraid at all.
However, at this moment, an old figure descended from the sky, blocked in front of Murong Xiong, and then raised his palm towards Uncle Li, blocking Murong Xiong's fatal move.
boom!
The two palms collided, and spiritual energy exploded.
Almost everyone in the entire courtyard, except for Gu Jian, Gu Shanhe and other experts at the Dan Condensation Realm, were forced to take several steps back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of cracking floor tiles, Uncle Li was forced back a few steps by the figure, with a shocked expression on his face.
"Master of martial arts!"
"What, martial arts master?"
Li Ming also didn't expect that he would meet a master of the Yuan Dan realm in the small Qingshan City.
"It's Master Mulong!"
At this moment, the figure that suddenly appeared was recognized.
The owner of Piaoxue Building in Qingshan City is also the only alchemy master in Qingyun County, Mu Long!
"Mulong?!"
Li Ming's pupils shrank.
Mu Long was originally an alchemy master in Piaoxue Building in the royal capital. He was demoted to a branch building because of a failure in alchemy. Unexpectedly, he was the branch building of Qingshan City.
The key is that he actually came out at this time to help Gu Jian and Murong Xiong.
"Thank you, Master, for your help."
Murong Xiong was sweating all over and respectfully raised his hands towards Master Mu Long.
"No need, you stand for Master...Gu Gongzi to uphold justice, so I will naturally help you."
Hearing this, Gu Shanhe and other Gu family members were shocked again. Even if Gu Jian knew the city lord, how come even Mu Long, a master of alchemy, was on his side?
"Master Li, as long as I, Mu Long, are here today, you can't touch Master Gu."
Mu Long stood in front of Gu Jian and said confidently.
Mu Long is not only an alchemy master, but also a martial arts master. Even the head of the Li family in the royal capital must treat him with respect when they see him. If he hadn't offended someone by making the wrong elixir, he would not have ended up in Qingshan City.
"Master Mu Long, I respect you as master because of your reputation in the past. But now is not the past. You are just the owner of a branch building in Qingshan City. Do you really think that the Li family still needs to bow to you?"
Li Ming's eyes were gloomy.
"If you want me to give you face, you should wait until you return to the main building."
Li Ming said again.
"Master Li, to be honest, the main building has asked me to go back and continue to serve."
Mu Long chuckled and took out a letter of appointment from Piaoxue Tower from his sleeve.
"Um?"
Li Ming was caught off guard.
"Listen carefully, Mr. Gu Jian is kind to me. No one can touch him. Otherwise, he will be the enemy of Mu Long and Piaoxuelou!" Mu Long said in a cold tone.
After the words fell, dozens of masters from Piaoxue Tower also appeared, and the Gu family could hardly stand any longer.
"how so……"
Gu Shanhe couldn't believe it, and the Great Elder, Gu Zhenlei and others were also confused.
How could Mu Long, a dignified alchemy master, go against the Li family in the capital for the sake of Gu Jian, a useless person?
"Gu Jian, I admit that I made a mistake. You are quite capable. You actually managed to win over the city lord and Master Mu Long when you were about to die."
Gu Hai pretended to be calm and said.
"But do you really want to end it this way, instead of defeating me openly?"
"This is your way of motivating generals."
Gu Jian grinned.
"But...even if you don't provoke me, I won't bother to win you in this way."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jian waved his right hand, signaling Mu Long to withdraw his troops.
"What I want is for you and me to fight, to see who is the best, and to decide whether we live or die!"
Gu Jian looked directly at Gu Hai, determined.
"Okay, then according to the agreement, you and I will fight in the Zhenwu Arena in ten days!"
Gu Hai readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jian rejected his proposal in a more firm tone.
"Why should I kill you ten days later? You and I will go into the ring now and fight to the death!"
