"You should also know that the White Tigers have made a pact with their own clan. However, due to your presence, the White Tigers have not been able to achieve their original purpose. Yu Long stared at each other with murderous eyes.

"Why do you care so much about the White Tigers?

"No, I'm just working with them for some reason. However, if they knew that Wu Yue was going to reconcile, they would definitely not help me achieve my goal. ”

"Then you want to ......"

"I'm going to beat you!"

"Can you stop Wu Yue from reconciling by defeating me?"

"No, but it can eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the White Tigers!Only by defeating you, will the White Tigers continue to help me achieve my goals!"

"You should also know Wu Tianhu's strength, even he was defeated by me, what do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, although I am not a god human, but my strength is far beyond that of ordinary humans!"

"Do you want to solve it on the spot?" Zhiming wanted to draw his sword.

"That's right! Look at the move!" Yu Long struck with a palm, and suddenly a powerful palm qi forced Zhiming back several meters away.

Zhiming steadied his footing and thought, "This person is not a god or human, but his qi veins are so powerful!"

Yulong came to him with an "instantaneous displacement" and slashed down with one palm. Zhiming blocked it with a divine sword, only to hear a loud bang, and the scabbard cracked.

Zhiming hit him with one knee, and Yulong avoided it with his belly shrinking skill, and at the same time used his side waist to bounce Zhiming away.

Before Zhiming could stand firmly, Yulong pushed him with another palm. He dodged a backflip and then kicked in the air.

Yu Long flashed unhurriedly, and then his palms were tightly closed, and suddenly a super strong palm qi hit like a whirlwind, and Zhiming fell back involuntarily.

At the moment before he fell to the ground, he hurriedly pulled out the Excalibur to block it, and all the strength of his palm rebounded back at once.

Yu Long dodged the rebounded palm qi, took a few steps back, and asked, "What kind of weapon is this, it is so powerful?"

"This is the Demon Slaying Divine Sword, a weapon of the Divine Realm. ”

"Could it be the sword of the God of War that Lei Gang said?"

"Now that you know, you don't have to fight anymore. ”

"......" Yulong was unwilling.

Zhiming swung his sword, and suddenly a sword wind swept up the sand on the ground and attacked Yulong together. Yulong blocked his eyes with his forearms.

After the wind and sand, Yulong saw that the ground in front of him had cracked a deep mark. He was shocked, he didn't expect the power of the Demon Slaying Sword to be so great.

Zhiming said: "You see, it is difficult for you to win against me, and Wu Tianhu is also defeated by me with the Heaven Killing Sword. ”

Yu Long had to obey and said: "That's right, maybe I can't win you today, but one day, you will lose this sword, and I will wait for that day to defeat you!"

With that, he brushed his sleeves away. Zhiming looked at his back, feeling uneasy. He felt a dull pain in his abdomen, obviously injured by his palm qi, and the strength of the other party seemed to be above Gan Ning. And it's very strange that the divine sword can exert its divine power in the face of ordinary humans like Yulong, which is unreasonable. The other party was obviously just a small test just now, if he didn't have the divine sword in his hand, Zhiming didn't dare to guarantee that he could win, and if the holy qi light wave didn't have the cooperation of heaven and place, he wouldn't be able to exert his maximum energy. He remembered the "martial arts", and from the moment he came down the mountain, he was constantly moving forward by relying on the martial arts and his own efforts. In order to be able to defeat Yulong and other more powerful enemies without relying on the power of the Excalibur, Zhiming secretly decided that he must practice a martial art that is more powerful than Qi as soon as possible. He remembered what his master had said about the Demon Suppression Tower located on Ziwu Mountain in Huiji County, and legend has it that there were four monks with strong martial arts on it. He decided to settle the few things at hand and go to meet them for a while.

Back in the camp, Zhiming sighed. Yang Ji asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhiming has a future. Yang Ji said: "I didn't expect the Yue clan to have such a master! Do you want to tell the king of Yue?"

Zhiming thought for a while and said, "Don't use it for the time being, I don't know what the other party's intentions are." I feel that the purpose of Yulong and Lei Gang is definitely not the purpose of the White Tigers to find King Yue, and even the two of them and the White Tigers are not all the way at all, the White Tigers are just a cover to cover up their true purpose. It seems that I need to go to Wuchao Mountain to see what they are doing. ”

"You have to be careful, don't do anything like the last time you broke into White Tiger Village alone. Yang Ji was worried about his safety.

"Don't worry, my enemy is just the White Tigers, and he won't hurt the Yue people. The Yue and we are already friends, aren't we?"

"I'm worried that some dissidents will be your enemy, such as the Yulong disciples. ”

"So, I'm going even more, I have to find out about his conspiracy with Lei Gang, I feel that their real purpose is far more than just destroying the Nine Unitary Sect, and Yulong's city is definitely more than that. Before that, I have to go back to Wonsan first, and the sect leader must be in a hurry. ”

"Yes, you should go back quickly, without further ado. ”

So, Zhiming said goodbye to King Yue, Dabu and Yang Ji and went down the mountain. Yang Ji stayed in Yuezhai from then on, and relied on Dabu for his life. The relationship between the two of them is natural and does not require any cultivation.

On the way, Zhiming sorted out his thoughts, before going to Ziwu Mountain, there were three important things that had to be solved in his mind: first, persuade Sun Quan to agree to Wu Yue's reconciliation and agree to all the prerequisites of the Yue people; second, find a reasonable explanation for the matter of the blood dragon sword, give an explanation to the Yue people, and let the truth sink into the sea forever; third, go to Wuchao Mountain to find out the true purpose of Yulong and Lei Gang, and take effective countermeasures.

Finally returning to the Tiangu Sect, Zhiming felt that a long time had passed. He reported all his experiences in Yuezhai to the sect leader and others.

Kong Ming said with relief: "It seems that your 'ice-breaking trip' is of great significance, not only helped me solve the problem of Xiao Qiao and the crystal ball, but also put forward the great idea of 'Wu Yue reconciliation', and obtained the unilateral consent of the Yue people." Zhiming, you have the qualifications to be a great politician and military strategist!"

Zhiming waved his hand and said: "Don't make fun of me, the matter of stealing the ball and saving people depends on Yang Ji alone, and it has nothing to do with me; It's a pity that Yang Ji has to stay there to live. ”

The sect leader said: "If Yu'er knew about this, he would definitely fall in love with him! Yang Ji is one of the core figures of this sect, and it is really a big pity to miss him!"

Zhiming said: "Before I left, he once said, 'In Cao Ying's heart is in Han', although he stayed in Yuezhai to live, he will always be a member of the Tiangu Sect, and he will always be concerned about the Tiangu Sect. ”

Everyone was impressed. On that day, the sect leader held a banquet to reward Zhiming, and discussed the follow-up matters with everyone at the banquet.

Zhiming presented the Yue people's reconciliation agreement to everyone. After reading it, Kong Ming said, "Zhiming, leave the matter of lobbying Sun Quan to me." You've done a great job, and it's my turn this time. ”

Zhi Ming said happily: "If the military advisor is willing to come forward, this matter will be completely certain!"

Pang Tong asked, "Kong Ming, how are you going to convince Sun Quan?"

Kong Ming said with a smile: "There is no need to convince, Sun Quan's big trouble is Shanyue, and he finally had the opportunity to shake hands and make peace, how can he not agree? Besides, the war is imminent, and he has no time to take care of the rear, this time should be the most favorable time to make peace, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Zhiming said: "The matter of reconciliation will be handed over to the military advisor." The biggest problem now is the theft of the sword, how can I explain it to King Yue? I have promised him that I will find out about it as soon as possible. I'm not sure if anyone in the Yue tribe has begun to doubt the Tiangu Sect, so it must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Pang Tong said: "We might as well 'return to Zhao after the end'." ”

The sect leader said, "What does the teacher mean is to return the Blood Dragon Sword to the Nine Unitary Sect?"

Pang Tong nodded: "That's right, but it's not to return it directly, but to secretly put it back in the temple." Originally, the purpose of stealing the Blood Dragon Sword was to divert attention and let the Nine Unitary Sect and the Yue Clan go to war, so as to achieve the purpose of restraining both sides at the same time. Now that the Yue people have become our friends, we must return them to their original owners as soon as possible. As long as they see that the sword is returned, the Tiangu Sect can clear the suspicion; the Nine Youjiao Sect has a step down, and it should not pursue this matter again, nor will it hold a grudge against the marriage; even if it is to be investigated, it will first go to the Yue clan, not the main sect. After that, we can only see one step at a time. ”

The sect leader said: "It is too difficult to return the sword, and Yang Ji must not do it. ”

Kong Ming said: "Indeed, only Yang Ji can do this, and he must be recalled temporarily. ”

Zhiming thought for a while and said, "This may not be. Where is the Blood Dragon Sword hidden?"

Gongsun Jie said: "In my bedroom, hide well. ”

Zhiming toasted everyone with a glass of wine and said, "Everyone, I admire Yang Ji's way of dealing with the world, and this time I am willing to complete this task on his behalf." ”

The crowd froze. Pang Tong was the first to react and said, "It's so good, you might as well give it a try." ”

Kong Ming was apprehensive and said, "I'm just afraid that it will be self-defeating." Although Zhiming is strong in martial arts, he is not a professional thief after all. If the operation fails, it will only arouse the anger of the Nine Unitary Sect even more, after all, after attacking the mountain, they have lost a lot of men and horses, and they are trying to find an outlet. ”

Zhiming said confidently: "Everyone, please rest assured, although I am not a thief, but this time, I will not lose to Yang Ji!

In the end, everyone unanimously approved that Zhiming would replace Yang Ji's role and complete the task of returning the sword.

"Without further ado, I want to leave tonight. "Zhiming wants to solve it quickly.

"I'm going to get my sword out. Gongsun Jie rushed to take the sword.

Pang Tong handed the map of Heizheng Mountain to Zhiming and said: "I have marked in red ink in advance the location where the other side may lay ambushes. ”

Zhiming looked at the map and said, "Don't worry, I've been to Baihu Village, and in comparison, it is the real Longtan Tiger's Den." ”

Kong Ming said: "In this case, I should also go back to my life." I'll have to prepare my wording to make sure Sun Quan agrees to reconcile. Although Sun Quan is a wise lord, his disadvantage is that he is not assertive, so..."

"Then go your separate ways. Pang Tong patted Zhiming and Kong Ming on the shoulders.

Before the words fell, Gongsun Jie ran over with a pale face and said, "It's a big deal, the Blood Dragon Sword is gone!"

The crowd was shocked. The sect leader asked urgently, "What's the matter?"

"No... I don't know, it's still there this morning, but..."Gongsun Jie's tongue was trembling.

"Oh no, there must be a thief. Pang Tong frowned and said, "This village is heavily guarded, it can't be done by outsiders." ”

"Are you sure you're still here this morning?" Kong Ming asked Gongsun Jie.

"I'm sure! I hide it under the bed in my bedroom and check it every morning. I obviously saw it this morning!" Gongsun Jie affirmed.

"When did you leave the bedroom?"

"It was about noon, and I haven't been back since. I lock the door every time I leave the bedroom, and when I went back just now, I opened the lock and went in, and the lock was not broken. ”

"So the sword was stolen after midday, and the thief probably climbed in through the window. Kong Ming analyzed.

Gongsun Jie scratched the back of his head: "This... I remember that the windows were never opened, and there were no signs of being pryed. ”

"Is it a burglary?" Pang Tong felt incredulous.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Zhiming couldn't wait, and at the same time said to the sect leader, "I suggest that all exits be sealed off first, so that the thieves can escape." ”

The sect leader immediately ordered all entrances and exits to be temporarily closed, and only entry and exit were allowed.

The crowd rushed to his bedroom. Gongsun Jie opened the door lock, everyone looked around, everything was fine, there was no sign of theft at all, and the windows were intact. Gongsun Jie turned over the bottom of the bed, but there was still no trace of the sword.

"Could it be that you have misremembered the location of the hiding?" asked Pang Tong.

"Impossible! I've been hiding in the same place from the first day to now, and I've never changed!" Gongsun Jie was now in a state of confusion in his mind.

"Are you sure you only have one key, do you carry it with you every day?" asked Pang Tong again.

Gongsun Jie showed him the copper spoon and said, "Shi Yuan, it's not that you don't know my personality, I am usually very cautious and never give the key to others. This key and door lock were all matched by myself to a locksmith after I joined the church, and there could be no second one. ”

"Who did it, what was his purpose, and how did he get in?How could it be so coincidental that it was stolen just as he was about to use it?" a series of question marks broke into Zhiming's brain.

Kong Ming and the others were also puzzled: there were no traces of broken doors and windows, how did the thieves get in?
