Chapter 66: Scheming
Relying on the Divine Walking Talisman, Gu Linghua and Yu Donglai fled for dozens of miles all the way before stopping to rest.
Yu Donglai glanced back and muttered, "Can the eldest brother escape?"
Gu Linghua didn't speak, but she knew in her heart that Lu Xiao'an's chances of surviving were very slim.
Sighing sadly, Gu Linghua said in her heart: "I still owe you my life after all, but how should I pay back what I owe?"
Seeing that Gu Linghua didn't speak, Yu Donglai asked again, "What should we do now?"
Gu Linghua turned her head to glance at Yu Donglai and said, "I know a way, I should be able to rush back before the poisonous mist disperses." ”
Yu Donglai said in surprise: "Don't wait for my eldest brother!"
Gu Linghua said: "It's the same in Taniguchi. ”
Yu Donglai said, "Then what if he comes to us?"
Gu Linghua took out her magic sword and carved a map on a conspicuous boulder, on which was the path to the valley mouth.
After carving, Gu Linghua said: "Let's go, we are slow, and it will be too late to leave when he comes." ”
Yu Donglai felt that it was the same, so he followed Gu Linghua and left.
On the other hand, with the timely rescue of the charm leopard, the situation has become uncertain again.
The Phantom Leopard is extremely fast, even if its strength is not as good as Li Zhaoran, but there is no problem in entanglement him. And Gongsun Yi has been seriously injured, which means that Lu Xiaoan has only one person left to deal with, Yin Shaotian.
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm right, the person who died is not necessarily me." ”
Yin Shaotian said disdainfully: "You think you can beat me?"
Lu Xiaoan glanced at the wound on Yin Shaotian's shoulder and said, "Your knife is not as powerful as before, didn't you find it yourself?"
Yin Shaotian said: "I'm injured, but where are you going?"
Lu Xiaoan glanced at the scars on his body, but said: "My injuries don't affect my strength, but your injuries do, so who do you think is more powerful now?"
Yin Shaotian didn't believe it, and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
At this time, Li Zhaoran suddenly said: "Don't talk nonsense with him, he's getting angry." ”
Yin Shaotian was stunned for a moment, and immediately attacked Lu Xiaoan. Lu Xiaoan couldn't help it, since he was seen through by Li Zhaoran, he could only do his best.
The two fought, and one person and one leopard over there also fought. Although the Phantom Leopard is much stronger than ordinary demon beasts, there is still a gap compared to the top qi practitioners. But fortunately, the Phantom Leopard is not low in intelligence, and he does not have a hard time with Li Zhaoran, but just prevents him from attacking Lu Xiaoan.
Li Zhaoran glanced at Gongsun Yi, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to join forces with Yin Shaotian, so he was spending time with the charm leopard.
Contrary to one person and one leopard, Lu Xiaoan and Yin Shaotian fought much more fiercely, it was a real battle of life and death, and every move and style of the two of them was aimed at killing each other.
And although they are both injured, the strength of the two is still comparable, and the speed is about the same, and they are still evenly matched after fighting more than 100 moves in a row.
The corners of Yin Shaotian's mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "A person like you is a rare Tianjiao in the Lintian Palace, but it's a pity that you have to die in this secret realm." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "There are many people who want to kill me, but unfortunately they are all dead now." ”
"Yes!"
Yin Shaotian took a breath and attacked Lu Xiaoan again. Lu Xiaoan also stopped talking, glanced at Yin Shaotian's injured shoulder, and fought with him again.
Lu Xiaoan's knife technique was not as good as Yin Shaotian's, but he suddenly changed his playing style, and he no longer cared about any moves or not, so he forced Yin Shaotian to fight hard with him with the same ending style. Yin Shaotian has no choice, if he doesn't want to die together, he can only fight hard.
However, it didn't take long for Yin Shaotian's shoulder to start bleeding again, and his body was naturally far inferior to Lu Xiao'an, who had cultivated the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, so it was really like what Lu Xiaoan said. Lu Xiaoan's injury did not have a great impact on his strength, but the gunshot wound on Yin Shaotian's shoulder made his knife more and more weak.
Li Zhaoran found that Yin Shaotian was gradually defeated, so he became serious and wanted to kill the charm leopard, but the charm leopard was too fast for Li Zhaoran to fight at all, which made him very annoyed.
On the other side, Lu Xiaoan slashed down, but Yin Shaotian couldn't resist it with one hand, so he could only use the other hand against the back of the knife. How could Lu Xiaoan let go of such an opportunity, and directly punched Yin Shaotian in the chest.
However, Yin Shaotian was beaten much more than Gongsun Yi, and Lu Xiaoan's punch was not as heavy as before, so his injury was not too serious.
However, this punch was only the beginning, after receiving this punch, Yin Shaotian became more and more difficult to resist Lu Xiaoan's attack, and he was constantly punched and kicked.
Seeing that Yin Shaotian was no longer able to defeat Lu Xiaoan, Li Zhaoran finally became anxious, so he pretended to rush towards Lu Xiaoan when the leopard retreated. The charm leopard wanted to stop him, but immediately rushed up again, and Li Zhaoran saw the opportunity to turn around with a sword.
Although the leopard reacted quickly, it was still stabbed and could only barely avoid the vital point. After Li Zhaoran was stabbed with a sword, he was not in a hurry to save Yin Shaotian, but slapped the charm leopard on the head with a palm, directly paralyzing the charm leopard to the ground, and blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Lu Xiaoan happened to see this scene and couldn't help but be furious. He split Yin Shaotian's knife with a knife, and then kicked on his dantian, this kick was extremely heavy, kicking Yin Shaotian to the ground, and spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, Lu Xiaoan did not take the opportunity to kill him, but rushed towards Li Zhaoran.
Lu Xiaoan came with a rage, Li Zhaoran didn't dare to resist head-on, turned around and ran to pick up Gongsun Yi and fled, not even caring about Yin Shaotian.
Lu Xiaoan didn't chase after him, but leaned over to see the leopard's injury.
The charm leopard couldn't speak, so he could only yell at Lu Xiao'an twice. Lu Xiaoan hugged it, but he couldn't save it at all, so he could only watch it die.
"Ahh
Lu Xiaoan raised his head and shouted, it was the first time he felt so sad and angry. Although it was only a demon beast that died, such a kind of demon beast with affection and righteousness and gratitude did not know how many people were stronger.
Lu Xiaoan said: "Don't worry, I, Lu Xiaoan, swear that I will avenge you." ”
Putting down the charm leopard, Lu Xiaoan turned his head to look at Yin Shaotian.
Yin Shaotian was seriously injured by Lu Xiaoan's kick just now, and then he stood up scolding. However, it was not Lu Xiaoan who he scolded, but Li Zhaoran.
Indeed, a friend who betrays you is far more hateful than an enemy.
Lu Xiaoan slowly walked towards Yin Shaotian, but Yin Shaotian smiled and said, "I am the closed disciple of the Palace Master of the Lintian Palace, are you sure you dare to kill me?"
Lu Xiaoan asked: "Is this your confidence?"
Yin Shaotian said: "Li Zhaoran and they ran away, as long as you kill me, my master will definitely know." ”
Reason told Lu Xiaoan that killing Yin Shaotian would indeed cause a big trouble, but remembering that the charm leopard died to save himself, Lu Xiaoan did not hesitate to swing it out.
Yin Shaotian's head flew high, his face was incredible, obviously not believing that Lu Xiaoan really dared to kill him.
Many people are like this, relying on their own backgrounds to do nonsense, thinking that no one dares to kill them, but the more people like this, the more Lu Xiaoan doesn't want to get used to them.
After burying the body of the phantom leopard, Lu Xiaoan went to find Gu Linghua and Yu Donglai, and then found the map that Gu Linghua left for him.
According to the route given by Gu Linghua, Lu Xiaoan finally arrived at the mouth of the valley before the poisonous mist dispersed. At this time, everyone returned here, except for those who died in this secret realm.
However, except for Gongsun Yi and the Gu family fighting each other, few others died. There were a little more than a hundred people when they came in, and there were still more than ninety people at the moment.
Seeing Lu Xiaoan come back, Gu Linghua finally breathed a sigh of relief, although she guessed that Lu Xiaoan might not really be dead when she saw Li Zhaoran and Gongsun Yi before, but she always had a lot of emotions in her heart when she didn't see people.
Yu Donglai was not so reserved, and rushed over to Lu Xiaoan with a shout, asking, "Big brother, are you okay?"
Lu Xiaoan shook his head and found that Yujiao was actually beside Gu Linghua. Lu Xiaoan nodded at her, and then looked at Li Zhaoran in the crowd.
Li Zhaoran frowned slightly, he didn't believe that Lu Xiaoan dared to kill him in front of so many people. And Gu Zixin was also there at this time, so he was not very afraid of Lu Xiaoan.
Lu Xiaoan naturally didn't think about killing Li Zhaoran now, he just said to Li Zhaoran very calmly: "Li Zhaoran, one day I will kill you." ”
Lu Xiaoan's tone was like a greeting between friends, but what he said surprised everyone, and they all guessed what happened between the two.
Gu Linghua was also very strange, it was the first time she saw Lu Xiaoan show such an expression, she seemed calm, but there was a huge amount of anger in her heart.
Yu Donglai didn't think about it so much, but it was a little strange why Lu Xiaoan wanted to kill not Gongsun Yi but Li Zhaoran.
When he came to sit down beside Gu Linghua, Lu Xiaoan didn't speak. Gu Linghua looked at Lu Xiao'an's wounds, took out an elixir and handed it to him.
Lu Xiaoan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I have skin injuries." ”
Gu Linghua saw the sadness in Lu Xiaoan's eyes, and was very puzzled, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaoan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Gu Linghua and asked, "Do you remember the charm leopard we met?"
Gu Linghua was stunned for a moment, her face flushed slightly, but she immediately reacted that Lu Xiaoan was definitely not in the mood to say that at this time, so she nodded slightly and said, "Remember." ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "At that time, I was besieged by Gongsun Yi and the three of them, and I couldn't escape, so I wanted to kill one by one, but just when I was about to be killed, it suddenly appeared and saved me." ”
"It saved you!"
Gu Linghua was very surprised, if it weren't for what Lu Xiao'an said personally, she didn't believe that a demon beast would actually take the initiative to save people.
Lu Xiaoan nodded, sighed deeply, and said, "It's a pity that in order to save me, it was killed by Li Zhaoran." ”
Yu Donglai also kept listening, so he said, "No wonder the eldest brother wants to kill him." ”
Gu Linghua also sighed deeply and said, "Now that the Gongsun family and the Li family are powerful, it is not easy to kill them. ”
Lu Xiaoan said: "No matter how difficult it is, one day I will kill him." ”
It didn't take long for the poisonous mist to disperse, and everyone didn't need to scramble at this time, and it seemed much more harmonious than when they came in.
Coming out of the secret realm, the queen was no longer here, but Gongsun Yi and Gu Linghua didn't say anything, and left in tacit understanding.
Outside Huai'an City, Yu Donglai glanced at Lu Xiao'an and said, "Big brother, or ......."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lu Xiaoan said: "I won't go to your house, after coming out for so long, I should also go back to the sect." ”
So many things have happened, and Yu Donglai has changed a lot, so he no longer pesters Lu Xiaoan to go to his house as a guest. Under the gesture of Gu Linghua's eyes, he followed his sister and left.
There were only two people left, Lu Xiaoan and Gu Linghua, and Lu Xiaoan took out a few things from his arms, handed them to Gu Linghua and said, "This is the body quenching exercise I practice, and the things I need to cultivate the exercise." ”
Gu Linghua looked at Lu Xiao'an in surprise, Lu Xiao'an smiled slightly, and said: "I've given it to Yudonglai, there's no reason not to give it to you, speaking of which, the nectar of this thousand red flowers is still given to me by you." ”
Gu Linghua is no longer reserved, she really needs to improve her strength urgently.
The two were silent for a while, and Gu Linghua asked, "Will you still come here?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "Of course, I still want to kill Li Zhaoran." ”
Gu Linghua asked, "Just to kill him?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "Maybe you also need my help, and I'll help you when I'm a little stronger." ”
Gu Linghua smiled slightly, but said: "I owe you a life, I will ...... when you want me to pay it back."
Without waiting for Gu Linghua to finish speaking, Lu Xiaoan hurriedly interrupted her and said, "How can I let you pay it back, and don't I live well, don't you say that again." ”
Gu Linghua glared at Lu Xiaoan resentfully, and then said, "Forget it, I won't tell you, the person who came to take me back to the palace is here." ”
Lu Xiaoan looked up, and sure enough, he saw the senior who followed Gu Linghua as an old bustard in Huayue Tower.
Lu Xiaoan said: "Okay, I'm going back to the Immortal Gate." ”
The two said goodbye, but they didn't go far but suddenly turned around, Gu Linghua asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "No, nothing, I just want to see you." ”
Gu Linghua said: "Then let me ask you, when will you come to Huai'an City again?"
Lu Xiaoan said: "I'll come when I pass through the pulse realm." ”
Gu Linghua was stunned for a moment, and Lu Xiaoan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my cultivation is very fast, at most two ...... Three years!"
Lu Xiaoan originally wanted to talk about it for two years, but he remembered that Xiao Ai had said that his cultivation was now more profound, so he said it for three years. And in the past three years, he plans to practice day and night.
This time, I really didn't run outside anymore.
However, Gu Linghua seemed to feel that three years was too long, so she sighed faintly and said, "Okay then, I'll wait for you!"
In the depths of the palace there was a secret room, which was the retreat of Gu Changsong, the lord of Guangyue Kingdom, who had not stepped out of this secret room for many years.
At this time, the door of the secret room was opened, and Gu Linghua personally returned the corpse to the grass for his father. However, seeing the corpse returning grass in Gu Linghua's hand, Gu Changsong sighed deeply.
Gu Linghua was a little confused, so she asked, "Did my father know about the killing of the Wang brothers?"
Gu Changsong was very old, sitting motionless on a side of the jade, he shook his head lightly, and said, "My father is not lamenting their death, but lamenting that my smartest and most clever daughter has ruined my plans." ”
Gu Linghua was startled, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.
Gu Changsong sighed again and said, "It's okay, it's no wonder you, it's all fate!"
Gu Linghua couldn't figure it out, so she asked, "Father, what the hell is going on?"
Gu Changsong said: "You are smarter than all your brothers, and you are more talented, as your father, I don't know what you think in your heart, but I didn't expect you to really have such great ability." ”
Gu Linghua listened quietly, but Gu Changsong suddenly asked, "How important do you think this corpse is to me?"
Gu Linghua looked at the corpse grass in her hand and couldn't help but think, Gu Changsong saw that she still didn't understand, so he said: "This corpse grass can only make me survive for ten more years, do you think this will be useful to our Gu family?"
Gu Linghua didn't speak, and Gu Changsong continued: "I have carefully planned for so many years to let the Li family lure out the ambition of the Gongsun family step by step, just to get rid of the stubborn disease of the Gongsun family before I die. ”
Gu Linghua was shocked: "The Li family is our people, but, but Li Zhaoran killed the fifteenth brother." ”
Gu Changsong said: "Because I arranged it." ”
"Ahh
Gu Linghua couldn't believe it.
Gu Changsong sighed: "For the sake of the Gu family, what are the two sons. ”
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Gu Linghua was not a soft-hearted person, so she asked, "Since the Li family is our people, why don't you just do it?"
Gu Changsong said: "Among the four major families, the Ji family has long been secretly colluding with the Gongsun family, while the Yu family has an unclear attitude. ”
Gu Linghua asked again: "Then what's the use of you doing this?"
Gu Changsong said: "Although I am the lord of the country, I can't kill people at will, not to mention that I still have to move the Gongsun family, I let the Li family destroy my spiritual grass and kill my children just to become famous. ”
Gu Linghua pondered: "Our Gu family is getting weaker and weaker, even if we have the help of the Li family, it will not be enough to deal with the Gongsun family and the Ji family!"
Gu Changsong said: "It's really not enough, so I also want Gongsun Yi to kill Yu Donglai, although I have never been able to see through Yu Shanghuai, but Yu Donglai is his only son, if he dies in the hands of Gongsun Yi, he will definitely be the enemy of the Gongsun family, as long as I do it, he will inevitably besiege the Gongsun family." ”
Gu Linghua thought of a lot in an instant, and asked, "Then Fu Haixue was also arranged by your father?"
Gu Changsong said: "That's not true, but even if there is no such thing, I have other arrangements." ”
Only then did Gu Linghua understand that her father had calculated so much.
Immediately, Gu Linghua said with some loss: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Changsong looked at Gu Linghua and said, "You are my most beloved daughter, I didn't want you to be involved so much, lest you be in danger, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven after all." ”
Gu Linghua was silent for a while and asked, "Then what should I do now?"
Gu Changsong sighed: "I can't move now." ”
Gu Linghua asked: "Why, although Yu Donglai is not dead, the Gongsun family has already offended the Yu family, as long as we unite with the Yu family, we can still get rid of the Gongsun family." ”
Gu Changsong said: "As long as Yu Donglai is not dead, Yu Shanghuai will not do it." ”
"Why?"
Gu Linghua was a little confused.
Gu Changsong said: "Just because I can't see through Yu Shanghuai, the more people can't see through, the bigger the plan will inevitably be!"
