Li Mu listened from the sidelines, and slowly learned about the situation of his main opponents.

It turned out that among the disciples who participated in this martial arts, there were five candidates who had the strength to win the first place. Four of these five disciples were all old disciples from the Innate Great Perfection stage, and only one was a late Innate Stage disciple who joined the Xuanming Sect three years ago.

They are: Yin Xianggong Bai Yuxuan, Iron Hook Envoy Ding Qi, Widow Liu Xianyuan, Red-tailed Bat Qian Yue and newcomer Wang Xue Chucai.

Among them, Bai Yuxuan was one of the two people who threatened Li Mu that day, and it was rumored that before he started, he was a great eunuch of the Great Qi royal family, and he was a master of foreign kung fu. He was arranged by the Great Qi royal family to be the general manager of the people in the rivers and lakes, and his people were insidious and cunning. During his reign, through methods such as luring and sowing discord, he murdered some chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes of Daqi, so he was given the nickname of "Yin Xianggong".

He has been in the business for more than ten years, and at first, because of his disability, he was often ridiculed, but this person generally did not react to his face, and even talked and laughed with those who laughed at him, and was looked down upon by many people in the door.

Five years after Yin Xianggong was introduced, he somehow practiced to the late congenital stage, and practiced a strange poisonous skill, and in that year's innate martial arts, he achieved a good ranking in the top ten, thus gaining fame.

Among those disciples who had laughed at him before, except for one who had cultivated higher than him, the other disciples who had cultivated below him were all worried in their hearts, fearing his reprisals. Even at that time, several disciples knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, asking him to forgive him for his previous disrespectful words. The fat man smiled in front of him and picked up the disciples who begged for mercy, and comforted them a few words. made everyone think that although he was a eunuch, he was very open-minded, and some people suggested that he should not secretly call him Yin Xianggong in the future, but change his name to "Wei Xianggong", a group of people applauded, and the fat man also accepted it calmly. In fact, the disciple called him "Wei Xianggong", and also had the intention of satirizing him as a "pseudo" Xianggong. The fat man was grinning at the time, making everyone think that he was still the cowardly newcomer.

But these people inevitably underestimate the weight of the three words "Yin Xianggong".

In the following year, those disciples who had mocked him to his face, including the few who knelt down for him and begged for mercy, and the disciple who mocked him as a "false prince", all died of various strange diseases for no apparent reason. At first, people thought that these disciples were unlucky and infected with some strange disease, which caused them to die miserably. But slowly, someone discovered these dead people, all of whom had laughed at the "Yin Xianggong". Some disciples were frightened, so they went to the elders of the sect to complain, but as soon as they came, this fat man was extremely clean, and the people he killed were all weak disciples with low realms and no potential. Therefore, after the people from the sect who came to investigate warned him, they let it go.

This fat man naturally knew that the sect valued potential and promising disciples, who would really care about the life or death of those useless low-level disciples? Therefore, he accepted it on the surface, but he did not stop taking revenge at all. In just one year, except for one disciple whose realm was higher than him, the rest of the more than 100 disciples who had laughed at him were all poisoned by him, and their deaths were all extremely miserable, obviously they were greatly tortured before they died.

Since then, Yin Xianggong's reputation has soared, and even some low-level disciples are trembling when they mention his name, and they dare not be disrespectful in the slightest.

In the next few sessions of the martial arts, this fat man Bai Yuxuan has risen higher and higher, and has climbed to the top three. And some people say that if he hadn't been unlucky enough to meet the "little overlord" Sun Youjian last time, and all his poisonous skills were restrained by his fiery exercises, I am afraid that it would not be impossible to win the first place.

This year's innate martial arts skills, but there are no people like Sun Youjian who are good at fire exercises, so few people can withstand the poisonous skills of "Yin Xianggong". So it's not for nothing that he's listed as one of the favorites to win the first place.

According to legend, the two were born in the same small mountain village, and when they were playing by the river, they were caught by an elder of the Xuanming faction passing by to fill the new disciple quota that year. These two have always relied on each other and supported each other in the door, and the two of them have been relatively low-key since they entered, just practicing silently and never causing trouble, so no one has to oppress them.

Seven years after these two people started, they were sent by the sect to perform a mission, and the two of them had not yet shown their edge, so the two of them were as follower disciples, led by a disciple of the late congenital stage, and went to the Great Qi Kingdom to pacify the **** of a demon beast. On the way, the two proposed to return to their hometown, meet their parents and relatives who they hadn't seen for many years, and then return to the team within the specified time to help Ping You. Therefore, the leading disciple did not embarrass them, and waved his hand to agree to them on the spot.

Who knew that when these two people went, they set off a bloody storm.

But they said that when the two asked for directions, and when they returned to their hometown village, several days had passed.

As a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, even if it is just a beginner disciple, it is extremely simple to receive a little mundane wealth in the sect. Therefore, when the two of them traveled, they received tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Daqi circulation, and prepared to return to their hometowns and distribute them to their parents and relatives to repay their kindness.

When passing by the county seat, the two also deliberately bought many rare things and some expensive food that people in the countryside had never seen, and wanted to take them home to give their respective families a "surprise".

After stepping into the village where they grew up and had been separated for a long time, the two immediately found their respective homes.

But I didn't expect that the once lively and thriving home was already dilapidated and empty. When the two of them went in, they saw that some things such as furniture and beds in the house were still in good condition, but they were empty. After the two came out to meet, they learned that the other party was in the same situation.

In desperation, the two had to go to a family at the head of the village to inquire about the news.

There was only one young man in the family, and at first he didn't recognize the two of them, so he was quite defensive. After the two of them explained their identities and presented them with gifts, the man put away his guard, but he was distracted and refused to tell them the truth.

The two of them didn't know what his concerns were, so they reported their current identities, saying that they had joined the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and asked this person to tell them the truth.

The young man was a seven-foot man, and when he heard their identity, he burst into tears, and said again and again: "God has eyes, God has eyes!"

Ding Qi had a faint foreboding in his heart, but he still calmly stopped the young man's crying and asked, "What's going on? Uncle Wang, he should still be alive, right? Why is he not at home?" The uncle Wang in his mouth is the father of this man.

Under his comfort, the man slowly calmed down, and said in a miserable tone: "Dead, all dead." My father and mother, your parents and family, except for a few who were away from home, all died at the hands of the bandits, at the hands of the dog officials in that county!"

It turned out that the county seat of this county was located on the border of the Great Qi State, bordering another country, the Zhao State, and there would be some friction between the two countries from time to time, but there had been no large-scale war in nearly a hundred years.

Two years ago, there was a group of spies from Zhao State disguised themselves as bandits, pretending to rob houses and houses in this border area, but secretly they were investigating the reality of Daqi. But for some reason, they were the spies of Zhao State, and they were known to the magistrate of this neighborhood at that time.

The magistrate secretly transferred local private soldiers to surround this group of Zhao State spies, and after a fierce battle, he still let go of several main backbones of the spies.

After a day and a night of pursuit, these spies were finally blocked in the small village of Liu Ding's hometown.

These people originally planned to snatch some supplies in this small village and immediately escape, but they did not expect the pursuit of the officers and soldiers to be so fast. After being surrounded, these ruthless men arrested all the inhabitants of the village and gathered them in a clearing in the village, intending to take them hostage and threaten Nazhi County. Let him cast a mouse trap, and a group of himself will fish in troubled waters and escape.

But who knew that after the spy leader here said the conditions, the county official only frowned and vetoed it without any consideration.

In desperation, after threateningly killing a few villagers who had no power to resist, the county magistrate calmed down and gave the order to release the arrows in a cold manner. What he ordered his men to fire was a rocket burning with fire oil.

In the blink of an eye, there were cries in the small village, but the county magistrate turned a deaf ear, and the officers and soldiers under his command did not dare to disobey him, but just numbly put the arrows.

Half an hour later, there was no one alive in the rocket-covered area. Except for those Zhao State spies who did not burn to charcoal, the rest of the dozens of villagers, regardless of men, women and children, were all burned to ashes in the flames.

This man went to the county seat to sell animal skins in the past few days, so he had to get out of a big disaster, and when he came back, he saw that the village was empty. After several inquiries, he finally found out what happened after getting drunk with a servant.

He also wanted to avenge his parents, but he didn't have a chance to get close to the county magistrate, let alone take revenge.

Therefore, he buried this matter deeply in his heart, and spent his days in a state of confusion, not mentioning it to anyone at all.

Under the strict orders of the county officials, all the officers and soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression were silent, so such a big tragedy was concealed.

After listening to the young man's account in silence, Liu Ding and the others gave him all the silver taels they had brought, and told him to leave a foreign land to live again, and then left his village.

They have nothing else to think of in their hearts but two words: revenge!

From the county officials to the officers and soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression, all of them must die in order to extinguish the anger in their hearts!
