Volume 1 Chapter 12
"Dad, do you know when Li Gong set off?" Li Cangyan and his son rushed all the way away, Li Mu asked.
"We set off at noon today, and now it is estimated that it has arrived. When Li Cangyan spoke, he couldn't help but marvel at Li Mu's foot strength that could keep up with him, and judging from the breath of Li Mu's breath, Li Mu should have reached the late stage of the Body Refining Realm and could enter the Foundation Building Realm.
But what Li Cangyan didn't know was that his so-called late stage of the Body Refining Realm was just a heavy realm of the Body Refining Realm in Li Mu's eyes. In other words, the pinnacle of the body refining realm defined by the current era is the body refining realm that Li Mu has learned, which is also because after thousands of years of ancient ancient books, only the fur remains.
The two ran all the way, and finally saw the campfire in the middle of the night, "Dad, we have arrived in the northwest of Luzhou City, first find a place to rest, just my mind swept over, the campfire is Li Gong and others, we follow them and wait for the opportunity." Li Mu motioned for Li Cangyan to slow down and said.
The two stopped about half a mile away from the campfire, and in order to prevent being discovered, Li Mu snapped his fingers to spread his thoughts and isolate himself from the outside world, but he still took a trace of distraction and wandered around the camp, always paying attention to their movements.
......
......
After a sleepless night, Li Mu relied on the body quenching pill and successfully broke through to the dual realm of body refining this night. At this time, there was movement at the other end of the camp.
"Dad, it's time to go. Li Mu said softly.
Li Cangyan and his son followed Li Gong and others all the way to the northwest of Luzhou City.
......
When Li Gong and his party arrived at a vast plain, they began to look around for the whereabouts of the Red Scale Snake King, and an hour later, the two teams of men and Li Gong gathered on a large rock in the middle of the plain.
"Master Gong, the little ones have searched this plain, but they have not found any trace of the Red Scale Snake King so far, is our information wrong. A bald man said.
"Slippery"
A sword light formed by spiritual power passed through the eyebrows of the bald man, killing him instantly.
Everyone looked at Li Gong in surprise, Li Gong slowly withdrew his hand, and said, "How can the information be wrong." What do you say?"
Li Gong's eyes swept over everyone, and the atmosphere suddenly froze to a freezing point. Everyone knows that this is a deliberate attempt to suppress the truth.
However, there are always those in this world who dare to challenge the powerful.
A young man with short hair and a very energetic man stood up and shouted, "Li Gong, you are bold, you dare to kill your fellow clan, I want to go back to Bingming......" Before the young man could finish speaking, Li Gong shot a sword into the young man's eyebrows and killed him.
Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak again.
At this time, Li Gong said slowly: "Actually, what they said is right, there is indeed no Red Scale Snake King here. Li Gong said and turned his head to face everyone, his eyes gradually became cold, and he said with a hint of evil and playful smile, "But anyone who knows this truth must die." ”
Before the words fell, Li Gong came out with both hands, and a bright white sword shot towards everyone, but in a few breaths, a group of thirteen people, except for Li Gong, all died tragically.
After Li Gong unhurriedly disposed of everyone's corpses for a while, he took a deep breath, pointed at his sword, cut off his left arm, and then pretended to be in a hurry and left.
Li Cangyan's father and son, who were not far away, looked at this scene, and they were really angry in their hearts, and evil was born to the side of their hearts. "Li Gong, Li Gong, why did you betray my Li family!!" Li Cangyan was puzzled, the person he trusted the most was now a mutineer.
"Hmph, Li Gong, you really rebelled, then I will have a good time with you. A cold glint swept through Li Mu's eyes.
After Li Cangyan and his son buried the twelve Heavenly Masters of the Li family, they rushed in the direction of Luzhou City. Along the way, Li Cangyan didn't say a word.
Maybe others only know that this Li Gong is the housekeeper of the Li family, but Li Gong was Li Cangyan's friend when he was young, and he has always been a member of the demon hunting team. Later, because of his outstanding talent, he was favored by Li Cangyan's father, accepted into the Li family, and was given a surname. After that, the two made great contributions to the Li family, helped the Li family stabilize their footsteps, and expanded their influence at the same time, but Li Cangyan never expected that his friendship with Li Gong for more than 30 years was simply worthless in front of the scene just now.
......
......
Luzhou City
"Report ...... Tell the master of the house, Gong Ye is back, but ......," said one of the guards.
The phantom puppet was not in a hurry, and asked, "But what?"
"But Gong Ye was wounded, and the other two teams were all killed, and they were killed by the Red Scale Snake King. ”
The phantom puppet only frowned slightly, because everything Li Cangyan saw was just like everything the phantom puppet saw, so the phantom puppet already knew the reason in his heart. "Bring him up. ”
"Yes...... Be. The guards were a little surprised by the unhurried nature of the family master, but they still brought Li Gong up as instructed.
The phantom puppet saw Li Gong and pretended to be in a hurry and walked up to Li Gong, "Li Gong, what's wrong with you?
"We ...... In the northwest of Luzhou City, we encountered the Red Scale Snake King, and we fought hard, but ...... Our strength is not good, and the two demon hunting teams were slaughtered by the Red Scale Snake King, and my ...... When his hand was also retreating, he was bitten by the Red Scale Snake King, and in order to protect himself, he cut off one of his arms. At this time, Li Gong's face turned pale and he looked dying.
The illusion puppet continued to pretend to be flustered, "There really is a red-scaled snake king, how is this good, you are injured, my Luzhou City will have one less fierce general, blame me, let you lead the team at that time, alas......" The illusion puppet sighed with a look of regret, "How is this good?"
A wisp of incomprehension flashed in Li Gong's eyes, and it was fleeting, and he continued, "Please also ask the head of the family to lead people to the northwest of Luzhou City to kill the Red Scale Snake King. Li Gong said this with full of neutrality.
The phantom puppet didn't think about what Li Gong said, and asked lightly with interest, "Li Gong, your breath seems to have stabilized a lot." ”
Li Gong was startled, and was secretly thinking about how to answer in his heart, when the phantom puppet said at this time, "Come on, take Steward Li to the Danfang to get the medicine." Then he waved his hand and left. Li Gong was the only one left in the room, and his face was cloudy.
............
In the evening, Li Mu and Li Cangyan quietly returned to the Li Mansion. The phantom puppet came to Li Mu's room under the summons of Li Cangyan's divine thoughts. Li Cangyan pinched a magic decision, and the phantom puppet's eyes lost their brilliance, and Li Cangyan waved his hand and put it into his ring.
"Dad, what are your plans for the future?" Li Mu asked as he looked at Li Cangyan.
"Mu'er, do you have any good suggestions?" Li Cangyan hadn't recovered from Li Gong's betrayal at the moment.
The child thinks that this matter will be calculated. Li Mu pondered slightly, "Although I guessed that Li Gong colluded with the Tan family and even the Holy Spirit Mansion, I originally guessed that Li Gong would come back after injuring himself, after all, he was going to kill this unwarranted Red Scale Snake King, he was one of the indispensable combat forces, but now that he cut off his arm, the child felt a little uneasy." Therefore, we might as well take a look at the rhetoric of the Tan family's visit today. After saying that, he whispered to Li Cangyan for a while.
"That's all there is to it, let's take it one step at a time. Li Cangyan sighed slightly.
In the middle of the night, someone from the Tan family came. The person who came was Tan Ce, the second head of the Tan family.
Tan Ce entered the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "I heard that Steward Li of your mansion was severely injured by the Red Scale Snake King today, I don't know what the situation is?"
Li Cangyan was sad and surprised, "Brother Lao Tan remembers, Li Gongji is a natural person, but he only broke his arm, and he didn't worry about his life." ”
Tan Ce naturally knew that Li Gong was fine, and then changed his words, "I don't know how Li Yingying considered yesterday's proposal?"
Li Cangyan's face was even more sad, "Brother Tan's heart is about tens of thousands of people in Luzhou City, which is really my luck in Luzhou City, but the Wang family master is in poor health, and now Steward Li is seriously injured, and the top combat power of Luzhou City has been reduced by two, how can he fight against the Red Scale Snake King?"
"Li Yingying just has to agree, as for the combat strength, my Tan family dares to make this suggestion, naturally there are reserve personnel. A chilling light flashed in Tan Ce's eyes, although it was faintly detectable, but it was still captured by Li Cangyan.
"I don't know who Brother Tan's so-called reserve personnel are? It can be compared to the strength of the Wang family master and Steward Li, except for the Xiao city lord in Luzhou City, I am afraid there is no one else. ”
"City Lord Xiao will definitely not be able to make a move, Luzhou City still needs City Lord Xiao to sit in charge" Tan Ce pondered for a moment and said, "Although Luzhou City is a border city in the Central Domain, it also belongs to the jurisdiction of the Central Region, since the Red Scale Snake King has appeared, the people of the Holy Spirit Mansion will naturally not stand idly by, my eldest brother Tan Xiong has contacted the Holy Spirit Mansion, and the masters of the Holy Spirit Mansion will arrive in Luzhou City in a few days, as long as Li Yingying agrees, the vacant two people will be filled by the people of the Holy Spirit Mansion." Tan Ce's tone softened, and said, "After all, the affairs of my Luzhou City are still dominated by the people of my Luzhou City, how can I fake others." ”
Li Cangyan can naturally hear the meaning of Tan Ce's words, Luzhou City is in danger, naturally it should be exterminated by Luzhou City personally, if you fake your hands to others, you will definitely be controlled everywhere in the future, although nine out of ten of the city lords of the major cities are disciples of the Holy Spirit Mansion, but the major families in the city have their own forces, if this crisis is solved by the disciples of the Holy Spirit Mansion, if this disciple takes root in Luzhou City in the future, at that time, the Tan family, the Li family, and the Wang family still have the right to speak, the so-called people's want.
But this Tan family is also a good plan, obviously expecting that if someone is useless in this extermination activity, the Holy Spirit Mansion will take action to solve the problem of personnel shortage.
But Li Cangyan knew very well in his heart that the so-called Red Scale Snake King was just a cover, if the Tan family and the Holy Spirit Mansion were plotting the Li family's coiled dragon jade pendant and blood pattern determination, then this trick would be too big. However, in order not to make Tan Ce suspicious, he had to cooperate with Tan Ce and continue to act.
"Oh, they all alarmed the Holy Spirit's House. Li Cangyan pretended to be shocked and said, "I didn't expect such a trivial matter to also alarm the people of the Holy Spirit Mansion. ”
Tan Ce glanced at Li Cangyan, "How can this be considered a trivial matter? If the people of the Holy Spirit Mansion don't make a move, if they want to kill this Red Scale Snake King, I'm afraid that the masters of Luzhou City will have to shoot together to do it, when has Luzhou City ever had such a big battle!" Tan Ce shook his sleeves and snorted, "Li Yingying is really peaceful!"
Li Cangyan pretended to be angry when he heard this, "My Li family has been heroic for generations, how can it be the kind of gutless rat who puts the common people out of the way in your mouth." ”
Tan Ce saw that Li Cangyan was successfully excited, and his heart was secretly happy, and his tone became more intense, "Since the Li family has been heroic for generations, why is it so reluctant to fight the Red Scale Snake King?
Li Cangyan looked at Tan Ce's appearance, angry and funny in his heart, and thought, who is playing whom. I thought so in my heart, but the play couldn't help but continue. raised his voice a degree, "Okay, Brother Tan went back and told the Tan family master, wait for me to prepare a little, and in a month, let's go and kill the Red Scale Snake King." ”
Tan Ce almost didn't fall off the chair after hearing this, thinking that Li Cangyan was righteous and awe-inspiring one second, why would he have to wait for a month the next second. After all, now Luzhou City's combat power has suffered serious losses, Wang Suyun is sick, Li Gong is injured, Xiao Longchen is wise to protect himself, and the top combat power of Luzhou City is half of it, this month, Quan should be preparing for the next plan.
"Okay, in a month, I'll wait for good news!" Tan Ce brushed his sleeves and left.
This one-month buffer period is needed by both parties, and of course it is not Li Cangyan's idea, it is Li Mu who suggested that Li Cangyan delay for a month, because at present, the phantom puppet cannot deceive everyone, and the most important thing is to let the phantom puppet lack the main material with the illusion inscription, double lead grass. This pair of grass is relatively scarce, so it takes a month to collect. The second reason is because Li Mu wants to quickly improve his strength through the "Tianyuan Yang Thunder Technique" within this month's time, at least he has to refine his body above the fivefold realm, otherwise the chances of winning are too small.
