At night, although it is not yet the cold winter wax moon, but there is already a little autumn coolness, Ming Shuhui sits alone on the mound of the mountain village, there is no entertainment in the night in the village, only the silence of the night and the howling of the wind accompany him.

Ming Shuhui still held the worn-out short sword in his hand, the scabbard had long lost its luster, like a withered sword, and the hilt of the sword was only randomly wrapped with yellowed old strips of cloth, if the sword was not pulled out, the appearance of this sword would look almost the same as firewood.

But it was this inconspicuous sword that made Ming Shuhui's heart extremely contradictory, and it implicated the hearts of the two young people.

Where is Xie Yanran now? Does she know where the Dongwu Altar is? Does she know that the conspiracy of the Six Arts Palace has been exposed? Does she know that Xia Wulin and the Six Arts Palace are about to go to war? Does she know that she has become her enemy?

The person who should be hated to the bone, but why is he always thinking about her in his heart?

The evening breeze howled, rustling the willow branches under the hills, except for the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, which was the only sound of the night.

Tuk!

Suddenly, Ming Shuhui heard the sound of the wind mixed with other sounds.

Tuk!Tuk!Tuk!Tuk!Tuk......

There are more and more sounds, and they are getting denser. Eventually, the sounds intertwined into a single reverberation.

Ming Shuhui hurriedly stood up and ran towards the place where the sound came from, crossing the hill and through the bushes that blocked the view, and a country road appeared in front of him.

At the farthest end of the path, several black shadows appeared faintly at this time, and each black shadow seemed to be holding a silver wooden stick in his hand, and these black shadows walked in their direction in a neat rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, this group of black shadows had approached, Ming Shuhui took a closer look, there were more than a dozen people, they were all dressed in the same way, they were all dressed in black robes, wearing hoods covering half of their faces, and holding an extremely long metal stick in their hands, which should be very weighty, crutches on the ground.

"Who are you?" Mingshuhui jumped to the middle of the path to block the way, and shouted loudly.

The man in black who was walking in front stopped, then raised his left hand to signal to stop, and the people who followed him also stood still.

"Can the two altar masters of the Eastern and Western Martial Altars be here?" the man in black did not answer Ming Shuhui's question, but asked himself.

"Let me ask you again, who are you? How do you know about the martial arts?" Ming Shuhui lowered her voice this time and was ready to make a move.

The man in black still didn't answer, just stood in place, and after a while, the man in black in front waved his left hand, walked out of the crowd, and danced the long stick in his hand, the long stick was shining silver, cold and extraordinary in the moonlight, and the top of the stick pointed directly at Ming Shuhui.

Ming Shuhui saw that the other party was going to make a move first, so he drew the short sword in his hand to fight.

I saw that the black-clothed man in front of him took the lead in attacking, and the long stick actually used marksmanship, and a spear flower danced at the end of the stick, and then a simple move of "smashing the yellow dragon" stabbed at Ming Shuhui.

Ming Shuhui saw that the move was actually an introductory move, and there was no hidden change, so he waved the short sword and put it on the stick, wanting to pick the stick aside, and then fight in close combat.

But as soon as Ming Shuhui's sword came into contact with the stick, he felt that the entire stick seemed to contain a huge suction force, tightly wrapping the qi in Ming Shuhui's sword.

Ming Shuhui was shocked, he was most afraid of following the opponent's rhythm when he passed the move, and now he couldn't break free, and the short sword in his hand swayed left and right with this metal rod, and he could be knocked down by the opponent at any time.

The more Ming Shuhui came to the passive moment, the calmer he became. He first handed the short sword to his left hand, and then the sword took advantage of the momentum to cut down along the body of the stick, this short sword was extremely sharp, when it was cut to the hand of the man in black, the man in black had to quickly change hands to avoid it, just when he changed hands, Ming Shuhui quickly grabbed the middle of the stick, took advantage of the lack of qi on the stick, and grabbed it hard, wanting to take it.

But the man in black's change of move was also extremely fast, only to see that after the man in black dodged the sharpened short sword, he turned forward and pulled the stick horizontally, and the stick hit Ming Shuhui headlong. Ming Shuhui was forced to be helpless, so he had to let go of the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and the short sword fell to the ground, and he reflexively came back to grab the stick.

At this time, the two of them firmly grasped the stick with all four hands, but the posture was a little inappropriate, Ming Shuhui was out with both hands, and the man in black turned over and moved to the middle, when the two held the stick, it was Ming Shuhui holding the man in black.

Ming Shuhui came into contact with the man in black at close range, but there was a dark fragrance wafting from his nose, and this fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making people settle down unconsciously.

Just when Ming Shuhui was in a daze, the man in black suddenly left the stick with both hands, turned around, and slapped Ming Shuhui in the face.

"Stinky rascal!" said the man in black angrily.

The angry voice was crisp and tactful, melodious, and the man in black looked like a girl.

It was actually a girl who was fighting with her, Ming Shuhui thought of this, covered her face and froze in place.

The woman in black snatched the stick back from Ming Shuhui's hand, and hurried back into the crowd.

"Your Excellency is young, and your martial arts are admirable, may I ask ...... you are" The man in black asked first, but at this time, he seemed to see the wrench in Ming Shuhui's hand, and couldn't help but say in surprise, "You...... You...... The Lord of the Ming Altar passed the wrench to you?"

"Exactly. Ming Shuhui saw that the man in black recognized the token of the altar master, and he did not hide it and said, "The master of the Ming altar is my grandfather, and I am the new master of the Xiwu altar Ming Shuhui." ”

"Ming Shuhui...... Ming Shuhui ...... That's Ming Xiaozhao's son...... There are talented people in the country......" The man in black sighed.

"May I ask who you are......" Ming Shuhui heard that the man in black still knew his father, and he must have a lot to do with the Xiwu Altar, so he asked respectfully.

The man in black waved his hand again, and more than a dozen men in black took off their hoods at the same time, revealing their faces.

The man in black looked almost middle-aged, with short hair and a long face, thick eyebrows and a thick beard, and focused eyes.

"We are people from the Martial Arts Association, I am Vice President Liu Tianchi, and I am here today to find the master of the East and West Martial Arts Altar in an emergency. This man in black was actually the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, and Ming Shuhui was taken aback after listening to his introduction.

Liu Tianchi immediately took out a token from his body, and the token was engraved with four big characters "Martial Arts Supremacy".

Ming Shuhui had just taken over the Western Martial Arts Arena, and he didn't know this token, so he thought that it should be a token to prove the identity of the Martial Arts Association, so he could only nod and agree.

"My grandfather and the Lord of the White Altar are indeed here, so come with me. Ming Shuhui led everyone towards the Dongwu Altar.

Ming Shuhui glanced behind Liu Tianchi, this time she saw clearly the female black-clothed person who had just fought with him, this girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, fair-skinned, cute-looking, big and attentive eyes, she was also glaring at Ming Shuhui angrily, and Ming Shuhui suddenly withdrew her gaze.

The exterior of Tobu Altar is disguised as a vegetable greenhouse, which looks like a normal greenhouse from the outside, and can be seen everywhere in the countryside, so no one notices. But the only difference is that this greenhouse has no gate to the outside world, and can only be entered from the dilapidated teahouse at the head of the village, so that there will be no outsiders accidentally bumping into it.

Ming Shuhui led everyone from the teahouse through the corridor to the inside of the Tobu Altar. At this time, Su Zhongyao was chatting with Guan Qinhai in the hall, and saw Ming Shuhui walking in with a group of people.

"Zhong Yao, don't come unharmed!" Liu Tianchi greeted Su Zhongyao from a distance.

As soon as Su Zhongyao saw Liu Tianchi, he immediately stood up, trotted over, and held Liu Tianchi's hands tightly. Su Zhongyao introduced Guan Qinhai beside him, and Guan Qinhai also stepped forward to shake hands with Liu Tianchi.

"The vice president is here, why don't you say it earlier, I'll send someone to greet you!" Su Zhongyao said politely.

"Your new altar master has already greeted us, the young man is really extraordinary!" Liu Tianchi said with a smile.

"Our altar master has just succeeded him, and he is not familiar with the Martial Arts Association, so he has surprised everyone!" Su Zhongyao expected Ming Shuhui's temper, and he was ruthless when he made a move, afraid that he would hurt the people of the Martial Arts Association, but seeing that neither side was injured, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, martial arts people use martial arts to make friends!" Liu Tianchi still said with a smile on his face, "I don't know if Minglang's predecessor and the White Altar Lord are resting?"

"I haven't slept yet!" came the voice of Bai Shidao in the distance behind the side door.

Guan Qinhai saw that the people from the Martial Arts Association suddenly came to the Dongwu Altar, so he hurriedly went to the back room to invite the altar master and Minglang, and the two of them rushed over immediately when they heard the news.

Su Zhongyao led everyone from the Martial Arts Association to sit down in the hall, and Liu Tianchi, Minglang and Bai Shidao sat on the Taishi chair in front.

"I don't know what you're doing when you visit late at night?" Bai Shidao said to Liu Tianchi with a smile.

"I'll make a long story short, I heard that you are going to join forces to deal with the Six Arts Palace?" Liu Tianchi said as he looked at Bai Shidao, Ming Lang and Ming Shuhui.

"Yes. Ming Lang nodded and said, "We already have enough evidence, and we are very sure that the matter, including Chairman Li and Ming Xiaozhao, was done by the Six Arts Palace!"

Liu Tianchi was silent and thought for a long time before continuing to speak.

"Don't go!" Liu Tianchi frowned and said, "In the past few years, there have been many incidents in the martial arts, especially after President Li's accident, the world is in chaos, at this time, unite everyone to attack the Six Arts Palace, the people's hearts are not aligned, and it is difficult to succeed......"

"President Liu's statement, but did someone tell you something behind your back? Let's not say secret words, if we have something wrong, just say it directly. Minglang heard that Liu Tianchi wanted to stop this operation, and wondered in his heart, so he asked.

Liu Tianchi flashed a trace of uneasiness, and then calmed down.

"No one has told me anything, I'm just thinking about the development of martial arts in the future, you really didn't think about it carefully enough, as for the murder of President Li and Xiaozhao, I will continue to investigate, if it is really the Six Arts Palace, I don't need you, I will personally lead everyone, and then go to seek justice." Liu Tianchi said righteously.

Bai Shidao looked around at the people in the martial arts association in the hall and smiled slightly.

"Is it just to stop our actions when President Liu brought so many people today?" asked Bai Shidao with a smile.

"No, don't get me wrong. Liu Tianchi hurriedly shook his hand and said, "These people just happened to be moving nearby, so I just called them over, and I didn't mean anything else." ”

"Oh......" Bai Shidao continued, "so if we have to act, what should President Liu do?"

"Martial arts affairs have always been supervised by the Martial Arts Association, and I hope the altar master will not embarrass me. Liu Tianchi rubbed his hands and said, "Although President Li is no longer here, the duties of the Martial Arts Association still have to be fulfilled, so please follow the previous rules." ”

"President Liu!" Ming Shuhui suddenly stood up and said, "Please go back, we have already decided on this matter, and there is no room for reversal." ”

"Young man, you have to think twice, I have the right to take measures against you immediately!" Liu Tianchi rubbed the long stick in his hand, and said in a somewhat tough tone.

At this time, a young man in black walked up below, bent down and whispered a few words in Liu Tianchi's ear, Liu Tianchi frowned at first, and then nodded slightly.

"If you really want to go your own way, then you can do it yourself...... Liu Tianchi sighed and said, "President Li always said that you should follow the way of heaven and not go against the sky, I don't know where the way of heaven stands ......this time."

Liu Tianchi stood up as if talking to himself, he waved his hand to everyone in the Martial Arts Association, and everyone stood up in unison.

"I am kind enough to persuade you, and I hope that you, especially this new altar master, will be prudent and can lead the Seibu altar to regain its strength. Liu Tianchi arched his hand to Ming Shuhui, "Let's leave first, and we'll see you later." ”

Ming Shuhui also bowed his hand, but he was quite dissatisfied with Liu Tianchi's words in his heart.

Su Zhongyao sent everyone out of the Martial Arts Association, and when he left, Ming Shuhui caught a glimpse of the woman in black who had fought before staring at him, her eyes were slightly fierce, and Ming Shuhui couldn't help but blush when she thought of the ambiguous scene when she held the stick just now.

The people from the Martial Arts Association left, and Bai Shidao, Ming Lang and Ming Shuhui sat together.

"What is the purpose of these people today?" asked Ming Shuhui strangely.

"Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in the martial arts, they don't know where the rumors came from, they want to stop us from attacking the Six Arts Palace, thinking back to the previous few times before and after our joint attack, although the martial arts association has known for a long time, but they all turned a blind eye and pretended to be fine, but this time they came to stop it, which is really very strange. Bai Shidao was also very puzzled in his heart.

"Especially President Li's death is also related to this Six Arts Palace, and this Liu Tianchi doesn't seem to want revenge at all, I really don't know what he thinks...... Minglang also nodded and said.

"In any case, let's quickly mobilize manpower and prepare to set off in the next few days. Mingshu Hui saw that there was no result after analyzing it, so he made a decision.

Within a few days, the news had been spread in the East and West martial arts circles, and after about a week of meeting, the major sects gathered at the Six Arts Palace, and many small sects and branch sects in the martial arts also responded, and the Six Arts Palace has had a lot of enmities over the years, and many people who are usually suppressed and bullied are in high spirits at the moment, just waiting for an order to enter the Six Arts Palace.

And the Rite Palace of the Six Arts Palace had already received the news and had been on guard in advance, they not only did ambush work around the Six Arts Palace, but also invited many masters to help, just waiting for the other party to attack.

Ming Shuhui decided to act alone, because he was alone, the goal was not obvious, and it was not easy to be detected, so it was only appropriate to use his martial arts to investigate first. So he said goodbye to Minglang, Su Zhongyao and everyone in the Dongwu Altar, and went to the Six Arts Palace alone.

It is not too far away from the Six Arts Palace, along the way, Ming Shuhui's heart has always been uneasy, the news of the attack on the Six Arts Palace has been released, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, if Xie Yanran now learns the news and rushes back, then how should the confrontation face her?

But after thinking about it, his parents died tragically, so many people in Xiwutan were killed in the morning, and he was used by her like a fool, all of which was enough to make Ming Shuhui angry.

On this day, Ming Shuhui returned to the boundary of the Six Arts Palace, looked at the building that had been burned, and remembered the first time she came here with Xie Yanran, and that moment seemed to be vivid.

The building has been renovated by workers, and there are no signs of fire on the outside, and there are not many items in the building, so it is easy to clean up.

Ming Shuhui walked around the building a few times, and did not find that the people of the Six Arts Palace were in and out, so he secretly walked into the building from the back door, and came to the glass door, where the huge manhole cover could be seen, and the manhole cover was still firmly buckled on the ground, and Ming Shuhui didn't know the password, so he couldn't enter easily.

At this moment, Ming Shuhui suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, and he got closer and closer, walking in his direction, so he quickly opened the glass door and went out, turned over the wall, and slipped into the stairwell next to him, his body clinging to the wall, so that it was difficult to find himself from the outside.

Ming Shuhui closed her eyes and listened carefully to the footsteps, and she could tell that it was a man and a woman.

"Could it be Xie Yanran and Gao Yibai?" Ming Shuhui thought of this, and her heart beat faster.

But when the two of them spoke, their voices were obviously not, and Ming Shuhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time the people in the martial arts suddenly attacked, it's really a bit difficult to deal with......" the woman said.

"It's not the same last few times, we all resisted going back, and this time it must be no problem. The man looked confident.

"Which time was not a defeat for both sides, a heavy loss, and a miserable victory in the end. The woman said helplessly, "At this critical juncture, Zhou Lang, the bastard, doesn't know where he is, and Mr. Lu Qi has also passed away, the strength of our Six Arts Palace has been greatly reduced, I really don't know how to deal with it......"

"Anyway, Zhou Lang should have known the news of the siege of the Six Arts Palace, he should have rushed back a long time ago, and he is still missing, could it be the little palace master......" The woman said hesitantly.

"Don't think nonsense, the little palace master, she must be fine, Zhou Lang is by her side, and she is safer. The man reassured.

"The little palace master has a deep affection for that kid of Ming Shuhui, I didn't expect that kid to unite with martial arts people to attack us, the little palace master must be very sad to know this news......" The woman said with a light sigh.

"We have a distinction between good and evil, and they should have thought that there will definitely be a ...... this day" The man also looked very helpless.

At this time, the man and the woman had already walked into the glass door and pressed the code to enter the manhole cover.

Ming Shuhui walked out of the stairwell, all he thought about was Xie Yanran.

Since she has always been in love with herself, why is she full of nonsense to deceive herself. Seeing that the major factions are about to besiege her, Xie Yanran has not come back at this time, where is she?
