Chapter 4: The Stand-in Sheep

These brothers are his friends in Lei Hengzhuang, they smell like each other, and they often practice martial arts together, although they only have three grades of cultivation, far less than themselves, but they have the same mind with each other and can cooperate very well, Lei Xiong only needs these four people to surround Li Xiqi, don't let him hide himself in the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Sure enough, the four of them joined the battle circle together, and the space for Li Qiuqi to move suddenly shrunk, so he didn't dodge like that, and sneered: "Coward, I originally wanted to play more tricks on you, since you want to see my strength, how can it not be as good as you want!"

An extremely cold force emanated from Li Qiqi's body, and his originally slender and pale fingers became more crystal clear like jade, and with a curl of his fingers, a true qi suddenly popped out.

"Poof!"

I saw that among the four people who joined the battle, one of them was about to attack from his side, but he was hit by the true qi, and he was immediately enveloped by the cold qi, spit out a mouthful of blood with ice, and collapsed to the ground.

"Poof!poof!"

Three more extremely cold true qi popped out, and the other three third-rank martial artists were also like the person in front, spitting ice blood from their mouths one after another, and fell to the ground injured.

In an instant, the four third-grade martial artists were all seriously injured by Li Qi's cold star true qi, and the crowd of onlookers seemed to have eggs stuffed in their mouths one by one, and even Bai Qiong, who had been silent, had a different color in her eyes flashing again and again, looking very surprised.

"True qi is released, and the five products are trapped in the dragon realm!"

That Chen Gongzi was well-informed, and immediately recognized Li Qiqi's cultivation.

Martial artists are graded by grade, and they are divided into nine grades. From the first-grade martial artist who first glimpsed the doorway to the innate nine-grade, it is all one grade at a time, and the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to be promoted. In particular, the distance between the fourth and fifth grades, although it is only a difference between one grade, is a world of difference.

The first grade is forging bones, the second grade is feeling qi, the third grade is strengthening, and the fourth grade is qi, the first four grades are all laying the foundation, and the power of the real martial artist can only be displayed after stepping into the fifth grade.

If the third-grade martial artist has the power of ten bulls, and the fourth-rank martial artist has the power of an elephant, then the fifth-grade martial artist can be compared to the power of a dinosaur, which is of course just an analogy, in fact, two different realms.

The fourth-rank martial artist uses the physical power of the true qi to bring about the increase, while the fifth-rank uses the true qi to attack the enemy, just like one uses a fist and the other uses a knife, killing a person at the same time, obviously the latter is sharper.

The five-rank martial artist has already entered the house, and in the rivers and lakes, he can make a name for himself and belong to the top second-rate masters.

In the imperial court, he can serve as a commander of thousands of troops, and he is in the middle of the army.

Li Qiqi's actual age seems to be less than thirty years old, and with such cultivation at this age, this is definitely a strange material in the rivers and lakes, and this kind of qualification will have the opportunity to impact the innate realm of the Jiupin Legend in the future.

The reason why Lei Hengzhuang is the super power of Tianhuo Prefecture is because there is an innate master in the family.

Countless people in the crowd looked at Li Qiqi with envious eyes, presumably after today, his popularity will be transmitted rapidly in Tianlin City, and his identity will also be exposed.

Compared with the look of envy, jealousy and hatred in the crowd, Lei Xiong was shocked and angry at this time, the life and death of his four brothers were unknown, and the reversal of the situation made him a little overwhelmed.

Li Qiqi is not a soft-handed person, his eyes are aimed at Lei Xiong, and his true qi keeps popping out.

"Poof!poof!"

The successive cold star true qi made Lei Xiong unable to dodge and suffered greatly. However, he is a four-grade cultivator, much stronger than his four brothers lying on the ground, although the true qi in his body cannot be broken out, but he can carry his luck with him and enhance the resistance of his body, but he did not vomit blood and fell to the ground.

It's just that the Han Xing True Qi attribute is extremely cold, making his blood almost freezing, and he barely blocks the three True Qi, and his pace gradually slows down, and he is a little tired after that.

Lei Xiong knows the difference between the fourth grade and the fifth grade, this is a gap in the realm, and if he continues, he can only wait for death. Regardless of the four brothers who were lying unconscious on the ground, they saw an opportunity and suddenly accelerated towards escape outside the hall of the Yicui Building.

However, when he passed by Steward Li's side, his vicious heart suddenly sprung up, and he slammed a fist on him, and Steward Li snorted and fell forward like a sandbag, and when he landed, all his internal organs were in mud, and his seven orifices were bleeding to death.

"Damn!"

Li Xiuqi was furious, he was actually run away by Lei Xiong, and he also killed Steward Li, which was a great shame.

The furious Li Qiqi used the true qi in his body to infuse his feet, and carried the family heirloom light skills, like an angry leopard chasing out.

Lei Xiong felt the wind behind him, and he knew that something was wrong, and the other party actually caught up so quickly.

Just as he was about to bite the tip of his tongue and use the essence blood to forcibly accelerate, it was an extremely cold and tyrannical true qi that invaded the vest.

"Wow!"

Rayon had a fishy sweetness in his throat, and then a mouthful of icy blood spurted out, and even fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, apparently injured.

"You bastard, you still dare to kill my Li Fu clansmen, I want to take your life!"

Although Steward Li is a member of the Li clan and has a weak bloodline, he also represents the Li Mansion no matter what, and being killed like this will undoubtedly be slapped in the face. What's more, Steward Li brought himself to Yicuilou, and it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, and Li Jiuqi can't let go of Lei Xiong.

"No, you can't kill me! I'm from Lei Hengzhuang, my Lei Mansion Great Elder is an innate master, if you kill me in front of everyone, you are challenging Lei Hengzhuang, and you will cause a big disaster for you and your family!"

Lei Xiong felt Li Qiqi's awe-inspiring killing intent, and couldn't help but panic, at this time he was already seriously injured and couldn't escape, so he carried out Lei Hengzhuang in a hurry, and he wanted to let Li Qiqi throw a rat trap.

Sure enough, Li Qiuqi's face changed, and he seemed to be a little hesitant.

Lei Xiong suddenly knew this, and immediately said loudly to the people around him: "You have all seen it, he wants to kill me! Kill me, I, Lei Hengzhuang, will not give up, you people are all accomplices!"

Lei Xiong's shamelessness made everyone present feel speechless, he would be pulling everyone in the audience in, once Li Qiqi killed him, Lei Hengzhuang would hate the people present because of his words, for the dignity of not being offended, Lei Hengzhuang would definitely settle accounts afterwards.

Although, this is just Lei Xiong's words, Lei Hengzhuang may not do this, but everything is absolutely impossible.

At this time, a gentle voice said: "You broke so many things in Yicui Building, and you haven't even settled accounts with you, but you still give it to you, are the people of Lei Hengzhuang like you?"

Everyone looked over and saw that a middle-aged man appeared next to Bai Qiong at some point, the man was very ordinary, thin, and belonged to the passer-by who was thrown in the pile, but his voice was very magnetic.

"Who are you?"

Lei Xiong asked with an unkind face.

"My name is Liu Chunfeng, and I opened this Yicui Building. ā€

The man replied softly, very indifferently.

But I didn't expect this to make a big wave, this Yicuilou boss has always been mysterious, people only know that the surname is Liu, from the capital, very powerful.

He has always handed over his business to the taro shopkeeper, but today he showed up for some reason?

Although the appearance is mediocre, but the temperament on the body is very special, the aura of the long-term power of the superior can not be concealed, no one present dares to underestimate it, but he feels that this trip is worthwhile, and he actually saw the mysterious boss behind the Yicui Building.

"What about Yicui Building, Lei Hengzhuang is not an existence that you can afford to provoke, the Great Elder has great skills, but he is a congenital powerhouse, you dare to move me to try!"

Lei Xiong can only be tough at the moment, not weak, because he knows that if he is weak, he may lose his life.

His biggest reliance is Lei Hengzhuang, using this name to suppress people, how much will make people worry, he can see it from Li Qiqi's hesitation.

Liu Chunfeng's face did not have the slightest expression, he listened to Lei Xiong's threat, nodded, and said very seriously: "I can't afford to offend Lei Hengzhuang, but someone will kill you." ā€

He saw Li Jieqi's changing face, and his murderous aura gradually became stronger, obviously moved by murderous intent

"Who!"

Lei Xiong pretended to be disdainful and said, in fact, he was full of vigilance.

"Me!"

Li Xiuqi was murderous, and he said coldly to Lei Xiong: "Be an understanding person in the next life, don't think that you can be unscrupulous just because you are a person from Lei Hengzhuang, although my Li Mansion does not have a congenital master, but it is also a family that has been inherited for a hundred years, and it is not something that people like you can ride on the head!"

Lei Xiong's face was pale, showing an extremely frightened look, his hole card was nothing more than using Lei Hengzhuang as a bargaining chip, but others didn't eat this set at all, and he was immediately afraid, he simply dared to go to the evil side, and when Li Xieqi hadn't made a move, he made the first move, and blasted Li Xiuqi with all his might.

"Be careful!"

Liu Chunfeng reminded.

But Li Xiuqi had already taken precautions, how could he be plotted by him, and he directly fought with Lei Xiong with a fierce palm, and the soaring cold star true qi rushed into Lei Xiong's body, Lei Xiong suddenly felt like a thunderbolt, vomiting blood more than once, and after a while, his pupils dilated and he lost his breath.

Li Qiuqi's palm is full of hatred, where can Lei Xiong live, he will definitely die!

There was no need to pay much attention at all, Li Jiuqi turned around and walked away very confidently, without looking at Lei Xiong.

When he walked out of the hall, he bowed his hand to Liu Chunfeng and said: "I am responsible for the loss of your store, how much is the loss, please send someone to Lijia Town, I will definitely compensate." ā€

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Steward Li is a member of my Li Mansion, and I am killed because of me this time, and I hope that Boss Liu will place the body and send it to Lijia Town, so that he can return to the clan land." ā€

Liu Chunfeng said: "The cost, I will ask Lei Hengzhuang for it, you don't need to take it on you." As for Steward Li, don't worry, I will ask someone to arrange it. ā€

Li Qiqi didn't say anything, nodded and walked out of Yicui Building.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Chunfeng's face changed, and he said to Bai Qiong with great respect: "Miss, this time I went to Lei Hengzhuang, Lei Chong is still missing, and he is still in retreat. ā€

Bai Qiong's eyes were cold, and she said, "He will come out this time, let's wait." ā€

Liu Chunfeng didn't understand and asked, "Why is this?"

Bai Qiong explained: "The Li Mansion is the second only force to Lei Hengzhuang, and the one just now must be the genius who is rumored to practice martial arts in the outside world, and the Li Mansion is the eldest son of Li Qiqi. This person is really talented, and he is a fifth-grade martial artist at such an age, and his future is unlimited. Do you think Lei Hengzhuang will tolerate the emergence of an innate master in the Li Mansion in the future to challenge its majesty?"

"Oh, I see!"

Liu Chunfeng immediately understood.

"But Miss, why were you so sure that Li Jiuqi would make a move just now?"

The maid on the side asked.

The corners of Bai Qiong's mouth curled, as if there was a strange charm, Liu Chunfeng's breathing became rough, and he suddenly didn't dare to look at Bai Qiong.

She said: "My Heavenly Demon Skill actually has no effect on him, that is to say, Li Qiqi's cultivation is at least at the fifth grade, such a person, can he tolerate no one in Lei Xiong's eyes?"

Bai Qiong said the reason, and then said a little incredible: "It's just that I didn't expect that the exercises he practiced were actually one of the eight great miracle skills of the rivers and lakes, the Cold Star True Qi, which was on a par with my Heavenly Demon Skills, and even had some exercises to restrain me." ā€

"I see, Miss is the realm of the sixth-grade Qingyun, unless the fifth-grade martial artist is not likely to be charmed by you, such a master, Lei Xiong is also unlucky to provoke him, no wonder Miss is full of confidence. ā€

The maid said in a trance.

Liu Chunfeng frowned a little and said: "Since Miss said that Hanxing's True Qi is the nemesis of the Heavenly Demon Skill, why didn't you leave him behind just now, even if you don't want the stronghold of Tianlin City, it will be a threat to Miss in the future!"

Bai Qiong smiled and said, "Although the Cold Star True Qi is one of the eight miraculous skills of the rivers and lakes, as far as I know, this skill is extremely difficult to practice. The number one master of the Li Mansion that year was called Xue Ning, and after the Hanxing True Qi was obtained by her, she used secret techniques to forcibly practice to Dacheng, although the power was not bad, but she only lived to be forty-two years old before she died. A martial artist at the peak of the eighth grade, there is only a line between him and his innate, he has a lifespan of a hundred years, and he died at such a young age, do you know why?"

Liu Chunfeng asked, "Could it be the consequence of practicing the Cold Star Skill?"

Bai Qiong nodded and said, "Others don't know the disadvantages of Han Xinggong, but I know it very well. Cold Star Gong, the condensed true qi is extremely cold, you see that Li Qiqi only has a five-grade cultivation, and he can exert a strength close to the sixth-grade, this is because the true qi is transformed into attributes prematurely, and the power is greatly increased, but it is also consuming his vitality. ā€œ

A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qiong's mouth, and said: "And Xue Ning is dead, he can't get guidance, he will spend a lot of effort on this road, even if he is talented and intelligent Han Xing Gong is finally practiced, but it is Xue Ning back then, what do I have to worry about, not to mention...... With his qualifications, I am afraid that he is going to attract the attention of Lei Hengzhuang, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Lei Chong will definitely not let him grow, otherwise the Li Mansion will threaten Lei Hengzhuang's status in a few years, after all, Li Qiqi is still young......"

"So Lei Chong will use Lei Xiong's death to take advantage of Li Mansion, and Li Xiqi will definitely die!"

Liu Chunfeng grabbed the conversation and exclaimed.

Bai Qiong nodded and said, "Yes, Lei Chong understands this truth, do you think I still need to worry?"

Liu Chunfeng smiled and said, "Miss still understands it, but her subordinates haven't thought so far." This Li Qiuqi is so talented and intelligent, given time, if he adds a trace of luck, he may not be able to break through the innate nature, but it's a pity!"

"Innate...... Hehe, how can it be so easy!"

Bai Qiong smiled and walked straight to the inner room.

............

The elders' chamber of the Li Mansion was full of people at this time. The interior of the council hall was not lavish, with only a large oval table made of fine sandalwood and a dozen sandalwood chairs.

At this moment, the conference hall was full of people in front of the sandalwood round table. In the middle hall of the upper position sat Li He, the head of the Li Mansion, on the left hand side sat the Great Elder Li Lihai, and on the right hand side the second elder Li Jing, and on both sides sat the other elders in turn.

The Li Mansion has strict rules, strictly distinguishes classes, and the seats are arranged according to the status of the elders.

Li He sat in the middle hall, with the most noble status, followed by the great elder sitting on the left side of his head, and respected the left.

Although it seems that Li He is the head of the family and has the most power, it is not the case. The most powerful person in the Li Mansion is the Great Elder Li Lihai, who has the highest cultivation, and is the former head of the family, and now he holds most of the power of the elder group, and he is actually respected here.

All the major decisions of the Li Mansion were made here, and all the elders here were the core members of the Li Mansion, and there was no outsider.

At this time, their faces were not good-looking, and it seemed that something was very difficult for them.

An hour ago, Li Qiuqi came back from Tianlin City, and the news reached the Li Mansion and immediately caused an uproar, and the Great Elder Li Lihai immediately ordered the armor to take him to the dungeon, waiting for punishment, and then held a meeting of elders, Li Xiuqi realized that he had caused a big disaster.

After the elders gathered, Li Lihai described the matter in detail, and suddenly the elders' faces were ugly, and everyone understood the key knowledge here.

Li Lihai spoke first and said, "Everyone, what do you think of this matter?"

Li He, the head of the family, said: "This time, Li Xiuqi leaned on the Cui Building in Tianlin City, killed a clansman from Lei Hengzhuang, and seriously injured four people, I have investigated the identity, it is a branch of Lei Hengzhuang, I am afraid that Lei Hengzhuang will not give up!"

Li Qiuqi is his son, and he is the most worried.

Second Elder Li Jing said: "If Lei Chong, the Great Elder of Lei Hengzhuang, is still in the capital, this matter will be easy to solve. However, it is said that a few days ago, he resigned from the worship hall and returned, Lei Hengzhuang is afraid that he will start a war with my Li Mansion because of this, they have wanted to annex us for a long time, this is an opportunity. ā€

The eighth elder has the most violent temper, he is the younger brother of the great elder Li Lihai, although the ranking is low, but relying on this relationship, he has a very influential voice in the elders' council, and when he heard the words of the second elder Li Jing, he said angrily: "Lei Hengzhuang is just a congenital master, but my Li Mansion is not a vegetarian for a hundred years, if he really starts a war with my Li Mansion, then he will fight, who is afraid of whom!"

"Okay, Eighth Brother, your temper in this cannon battle will be more restrained for me, if you can fight with Lei Hengzhuang, we won't discuss it!"

Li Lihai glanced at the Eighth Elder coldly and shouted.

The Eighth Elder was still very afraid of his eldest brother, and he stopped talking.

Li Lihai said: "In the past, Lei Hengzhuang, the congenital elder, was not there, and there were still some concerns about expanding his power, but now I am afraid that it will be unscrupulous, and with the innate martial artist in charge, they have nothing to worry about." ā€œ

He said with a gloomy face: "When this kind of thing happens at this time, Lei Hengzhuang is afraid that he is going to take my Li Mansion to establish his authority, not to mention the news of Li Xuqi's five-rank martial artist realm, I am afraid that the innate master already knows that such a qualification has the opportunity to impact the innate nature, if he is not stupid, he will use this matter to force my Li Mansion to submit and hand over Li Xieqi!"

The Eighth Elder honestly couldn't help it: "There is only one innate master who is powerful, and there are no less than hundreds of people who can fight in my Li Mansion, plus us elders, he will be consumed to death!"

Second Elder Li Jing sneered: "Ignorance! Old Eight, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, you are only a six-rank Qingyun Realm, where do you know the ability of innate masters, there are only a few innate in the entire Snow Moon Empire, which one is not prestigious, how can it be so easy as you say, only that Lei Chong alone can destroy my Li Mansion, the crowd tactics are useless at all, haven't you heard that under the congenital, they are all ants!"

"You...... This is to grow the morale of others and destroy the prestige of one's own family, what do you mean!"

Choked by Li Jing's words, Eighth Elder Huo Di stood up and shouted angrily.

Li Mansion is not an iron plate, Li Jing is the second elder, and he is also a descendant of Li Mansion, but he is not in the same vein as Li Lihai, and his power in Li Mansion is second only to Li Lihai.

Elder Pingsu was at odds with Li Jing, because with the support of his eldest brother, he was not afraid of Li Jing at all.

"Okay! The eighth told you not to talk nonsense, you can't control your mouth, you still have the mind to quarrel when you are there, you are arguing, I am going to enforce the family law!"

Li Lihai scolded the Eighth Elder, but his eyes glanced at Li Jing, and the warning color disappeared in a flash.

The Eighth Elder sat down stupidly, and Li Jing didn't say anything.

Li Lihai's eyes were like lightning, and he said: "Li Qiqi is talented and intelligent, and he is the next generation of the head of the Li Mansion, and his status is noble, so he must not be handed over." However, Lei Hengzhuang is powerful, and we should not fight against it, because there is no chance of winning at all. ā€

"Then what should I do, does the Great Elder have a countermeasure?"

An elder asked.

"I have a compromise idea, Lei Hengzhuang only killed and injured a few clansmen, this is not a big deal, I'm afraid they use this as an excuse, and my Li Mansion seems passive. I remember Li He, you also have a concubine, named Li Dao, right, I met him once, and he looks very similar to Li Qiuqi, it is better to let him go to Lei Mansion to ask for guilt, and let him replace Li Xiuqi, so that Lei Hengzhuang has face, and there must be no excuse to come to embarrass my Li Mansion. ā€

Li He's face showed embarrassment, Li Dao was after he had a drunken relationship with his maid, and his status in the Li Mansion was not high. Although this concubine said that he would not be invited to see him, after all, it was his own blood and blood, and he went to Lei Hengzhuang to ask for guilt, which was to let him be sent to death, Li He couldn't bear it.

He said: "Li Dao has no talent for martial arts since he was a child, and now he is just an ordinary person, how can he be full of people in Lei Hengzhuang?"

Li Lihai said with a smile, there was a coldness in his eyes, how could he not understand that Li He was making excuses, and he definitely didn't want Li Dao to go to die, and sneered: "How can I say that my Li Mansion is also a great family inherited from Tianhuo Prefecture for a hundred years, even if Lei Hengzhuang is domineering, he doesn't dare to eat too ugly, if he insists on taking my Li Mansion under the knife, I believe that many forces in Tianhuo Prefecture will not be able to sit still, and they will not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, so Lei Hengzhuang can only pinch his nose and admit it, otherwise it will cause public criticism!"

"But...... But in this way, the prestige of my Li Mansion will plummet in the future, isn't this also a self-destructive foundation!"

Li He continued to argue.

"What you say is the truth, but now the situation is not in our favor, Lei Hengzhuang we are not his opponent, and we can only do this. ā€

The Great Elder nodded, his face showed helplessness, and said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, when Li Xiuqi breaks through the innate and Lei Chong is old, it may not be impossible to take revenge for this arrow at that time!"

Li He sighed, the matter had come to this, and he silently accepted this fact.

The other elders listened to the Great Elder's method, and nodded in approval, the situation is weaker than people, and they all glanced at Li He with some sympathy.

Second Elder Li Jing asked, "Since that's the case, then invite Li Dao here." In order to prevent the Lei Mansion from taking the lead in attacking, I suggest that the people be sent now, and at the same time, Li Jiuqi should also go out to avoid it, just in case. ā€

The Great Elder nodded, agreed with him, and said, "It's okay, let Li Qiqi go out to practice for a few years, he has an arrogant personality, and he is violent, and he sharpens his temperament." Old eight, you go and send someone to invite Li Dao. ā€

Nodding, the Eighth Elder left his seat and led the two armor soldiers to lead the order.

It's just that the wall has ears, and the words of many elders were listened to by a maid who was working, and it was customary to clean up irrelevant people before the elders' meeting. But today the incident happened suddenly, the situation was urgent, but before the time to clear the people, there was a small flower hall next to the conference room, a maid was cleaning, hearing about Li Dao, suddenly the little face turned pale and hurriedly left the house.
