"You're talking nonsense!"
Jiang Su Xi shouted excitedly when she saw Elder Jiang stop.
Gou Liang laughed, "Hehuan Sect's disguise technique? Sect Leader Xia was very clear about this. That's right. I used her and this child to trick this old man. Since you saw through it … Nian Nu Jiao, send someone to take her away. At least she has the same face as the former number one beauty of Jianghu. The male disciples of your sect will definitely like her. "
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"What are you doing? Let me go! "
Jiang Su Xi was frightened by Gou Liang. After living in the Devil Sect for a few months, she was very clear about Gou Liang's character. She didn't think that he was joking and shouted in panic, "Liar, you clearly said that you wouldn't make things difficult for us if we gave you the 'Lingxi Zither Score'! Senior Brother, save us! "
Gou Liang Heng's flute blocked Yue Qian, who was about to pull Nian Nu Jiao away. He laughed and said, "What we agreed on at the beginning was that you would give me the 'Lingxi Zither Music Score' as a thank you gift for saving the lives of you, mother and son, but you never promised me anything else. Besides, the righteous sect doesn't want you now. You're a dead person with a cenotaph. I want to make the best use of a dead person. Who dares to say anything? "
"Don't touch my child. Senior Brother, save us …"
Jiang Su Xi cried in fear.
Yue Qian saw that the baby was about to wake up and said, "Xiao Kener, don't tease her."
"Su Xi!"
Situ Bai, who was stunned, flew down without hesitation and shouted, "Let her go!"
"Bai 'er!"
"Brother!"
"Third Junior Brother!"
The people of Nanshan Sword Sect were shocked.
Situ Bai wanted to fight Nian Nujiao with his sword. Nian Nujiao didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Su Xi, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Situ Bai attacking her. She was about to teach him a lesson when Gou Liang said, "Back off."
She immediately stopped and stood beside Gou Liang.
"Husband!"
Jiang Su Xi rushed towards Situ Bai as if she had been granted amnesty. Situ Bai threw away the sword in his hand and hugged Jiang Su Xi. The husband and wife burst into tears. Before they could say a word, they woke up the little ghost sleeping in Jiang Su Xi's arms. Immediately —
Amidst the heart-wrenching cries of the family of three, Gou Liang's mouth twitched. Yue Qian, who had expected this, chuckled. Gou Liang glared at him fiercely.
"Shut up!"
He couldn't take it anymore.
Jiang Su Xi immediately did not dare to make a sound. Even the little baby in her arms stopped crying when he heard Gou Liang's voice. Situ Bai was left alone to howl twice before he realized that it was somewhat embarrassing and forcibly held back his tears.
At this moment, Elder Jiang disregarded Chief Xia's advice and flew down.
"Grandfather!"
"Su Xi … are you really my granddaughter, Su Xi?"
"Grandpa, of course it's me. I grew up by your side. Can't you tell if I'm lying or not?"
Jiang Su Xi felt somewhat wronged.
Elder Jiang saw this and no longer had any doubts. He was also crying tears of joy as he said the word 'good' three times. Then he asked, "What's going on? That day, Grandpa clearly saw it with his own eyes … and this child, could it be? "
Elder Jiang was indescribably excited. His eyes shone as he stared at the child in her arms who was waving his little fists.
"Look at me!" Jiang Su Xi calmed down and said, "This is your great-grandson! Husband, look, this is our son. He's six months old. Eldest Senior Brother said that he looks like Mother! "
Situ Bai stiffly and excitedly took the child. Unexpectedly, the little baby suddenly burst into tears. He said helplessly, "Good son, don't cry, don't cry. I'm your father, I'm your father …"
Elder Jiang saw this and hurriedly took the little baby back. He was very experienced in taking care of children. After coaxing a few times, the little baby's cries became much softer. However, he still held back his tears in dissatisfaction.
With a headache, Jiang Su Xi stuffed a jade pendant that Gou Liang often played with into his hand. Only then did she stop crying.
Elder Jiang asked for the reason again. Jiang Su Xi hurriedly said, "I also don't know what happened that day. When we woke up, we were already in the Devil Cult. It was Cult Master Ye who saved us."
Situ Bai was stunned. He looked at the indifferent Gou Liang and the gentle eldest senior brother. It turned out that what his eldest senior brother said that day was not false. However, he had treated the savior of his wife and child as an enemy and repeatedly offended him!
Situ Bai's face immediately turned red. He wanted to thank her but couldn't. He scratched his head and didn't know what to do.
Elder Jiang raised his voice and said, "Cult Master Ye saved my granddaughter and great-grandson. I have no way to repay this kindness. My Eastern Sea's Jiang Family accepts Ye Gui's favor and will definitely not make things difficult for you. However, the Devil Cult Elder harmed my son's life. This enmity is absolutely irreconcilable. My Jiang Family will also fight to the death with the rest of the Devil Cult. We will advance and retreat together with the righteous path alliance. I hope Cult Master will forgive us! "
At this critical moment, he had to make his stance clear.
Gou Liang didn't care. "She used the 'Lingxi Zither Score' in exchange for two lives. To me and her, it's just a transaction. There's no need to talk about kindness," he said.
Elder Jiang bowed solemnly. With his precious great-grandson in his arms, he asked Jiang Su Xi and Situ Bai to return to the righteous path's camp with him.
Situ Bai stood on the spot, scratching his ears and cheeks. He hesitated and refused to leave. Yue Qian sent him a secret message: 'Go back. Don't let Shifu worry. We'll talk about this later.'
Situ Bai finally left. But halfway there, he stopped and turned around to cup his fists. He said solemnly, "Da … Thank you for saving my wife and child!"
Finished speaking, he quickly caught up with Elder Jiang.
Yue Qian held Gou Liang's hand and pleaded with Situ Bai with his eyes. Gou Liang curled his lips. "Do you think I'm that bored to argue with this kind of idiot?"
Yue Qian couldn't help laughing.
The return of Jiang Su Xi and her son didn't make the righteous path have the slightest good impression of the Devil Cult. They were still suspicious of Jiang Su Xi's identity. They were afraid that she was a spy of the Devil Cult and could cooperate with the Devil Cult at any time. After all, everyone saw the situation that day. With such serious injuries, it was impossible for her to survive!
Only Chief Xia, who was the first to question, was shocked. He said, "I didn't expect Bao Jiu to have such good medical skills. They're even better than the Miracle Doctor Hua."
"Hua Huichun? Who does he think he is? How dare he be mentioned in the same breath as me. "
Gou Liang was disdainful.
Mr Xia, who came from the Medical Valley, said angrily, "What nonsense! Back then, you broke into the Medical Valley, killed my grandfather, and took away my Medical Valley's secret treasure! Now, you've only stolen my Medical Valley's inheritance. How dare you talk nonsense in front of others! "
"Haha, if Hua Huichun heard you say that, I'm afraid he'd be ashamed and hit the wall in front of me and die again."
"You!!!"
When it came to the elders of the Medical Valley, Mr Xia, who had always been gentle and elegant, was so angry that her expression became ferocious.
Gou Liang was too lazy to pay attention to her. He stroked the jade flute and said, "Private matters are over. Let's talk about business now."
He blew a whistle again. After the passionate melody, the rumbling poisonous army approached a few inches closer to Wumo City. A huge pressure came down, making the Good Faction people have no time to care about the resurrection of the dead.
Gou Liang said with a smile, "Now there are only two paths in front of you. Surrender or die. I've never been a patient person. I'll give you thirty minutes. Those who surrender can come down. If you're late, you'll have to bear the consequences. "
All the Good Faction sects were in an uproar.
Everyone looked at the Sanskrit Pavilion. Pavilion Master Ye's face was pale. He shook his head and said, "If the three elders of the pavilion were here, we could try, but now …"
She was powerless to disperse the poisonous army.
Everyone was solemn. The incense of the Evil Faction burned faster than usual under the scorching sun. Seeing the incense burning shorter and shorter, the sense of urgency became stronger and stronger!
Xia Xinya was afraid and hateful. She couldn't hold back her anger and said, "Father, isn't that Yue Qian down there? I don't believe that he doesn't care about his master's life. Why don't we ask Uncle Situ to help? If not, he's in our hands. I don't think that Yue Qian dares to — "
"Shut up!"
Chief Xia shouted at her. But this time, before he could slap her, a flute sound was heard. The Bat King let out a sharp cry and led hundreds of bats to rush over. Chief Xia and the others were in a mess. When the bats retreated, they found that Xia Xinya had been taken away!
"Father! Father, save me!! "
Xia Xinya struggled in the air and let out a shrill scream!
"Ya 'er! Husband, save Ya 'er, save her! "
Mr. Xia shouted.
Seeing Xia Xinya being taken to the place where the bats had abandoned the white horse, Chief Xia clenched his fists with an ugly expression. "Bao Jiu, don't go too far. Let go of my daughter!"
Gou Liang laughed. "Chief Xia's words are really funny. So what if I kill her? So what if I kill you? "
"Ah! Help!! Don't kill me, don't kill me!!! "
Xia Xinya screamed in vain, her voice sending chills down one's spine.
Gou Liang said, "It's not impossible for me to let you go. Tell everyone, who was the one who was taken by the romantic ghost that day?"
"I didn't … It was me! It was me!! "
Xia Xinya, who was about ten feet down, suddenly cried out in horror.
"What else?"
"And, and …" Xia Xinya didn't dare to say it, but when she saw the densely packed ants close to the ground and thought of the horse that had turned into white bones, she couldn't care about anything else. "It was my father! It was my father … "
Xia Xinya broke down and burst into tears.
The people of the Righteous Faction gasped!
Chief Xia's expression was extremely ugly. He was about to make a move, but the army of poisonous creatures was one step closer, so he had no choice but to give up on this plan. However, his whole person was terrifyingly gloomy.
Gou Liang smiled and read aloud, "Flying down three thousand feet, she is lonely, I am romantic. A person of virtue and prestige has 800 disciples, but if I have a thousand beards, he won't have any hair! I was wondering who this hairless guy was talking about. It turns out that Chief Xia followed in the footsteps of your ex-son-in-law. It's really difficult for Mr. Xia. "
Xia Xinya was still crying. Mr. Xia looked worriedly at her husband's ugly expression, but in the end, she still had the heart of a loving mother. She said loudly, "Quickly let go of Ya 'er!"
"Ha, Chief Xia's upbringing is really impressive."
Gou Liang didn't make things difficult for Xia Xinya. He let Bat King send her back. In any case, Xia Xinya would really be living a life worse than death if she went back.
"Ya 'er."
Mr. Xia hugged her daughter who was limp on the ground. She frowned when she smelled the stench of urine on her body. The tears that had yet to fall suddenly froze.
Xia Xinya didn't know that she had peed in her pants. She sneaked a glance at her father and hid deeper into her mother's arms in fear. She buried her head and cried uncontrollably, not daring to face anyone.
The people of the Righteous Faction frowned when they saw this. However, they weren't in the mood to watch other people's drama.
Because the time limit for burning a stick of incense was up.
Gou Liang was eating a piece of orange fed to him by Yue Qian. He spat out the core, wiped his mouth, and asked casually, "Have you thought it through? You only have this one chance. "
The poisonous army took another step forward. Scorpions, centipedes, and poisonous ants had already covered half of the city wall. It was extremely terrifying.
However, no matter what they thought, the Righteous Faction warriors who were sweating profusely looked at each other. No one dared to be the first to surrender to the Devil Cult.
Gou Liang nodded. "You have guts. Since you don't want to live anymore …"
"Amitabha."
A Buddhist chant interrupted Gou Liang.
This person's internal strength was very strong. His voice echoed throughout the entire Wumo City. It was sonorous and powerful like the bell of the Shaolin Temple, making people's minds clear. They immediately broke away from their fear and looked at the source of the voice. A thin monk in a gray robe stepped out of the Shaolin monks, stepped out of the city wall, and stood in the air. He said, "Amitabha. This poor monk greets Benefactor Ye. Please forgive and forget. Benefactor Ye, please don't kill again. "
"You're an interesting monk. Are you in charge of sweeping the floor of the Shaolin Temple?"
"Presumptuous!" The Shaolin Sect Master stepped out quickly. He first scolded Gou Liang, and then respectfully said, "Disciple greets Martial Uncle Xuandu!"
"So it's Eminent Monk Xuandu!"
The Sect Masters were pleasantly surprised and hurriedly greeted him.
Monk Xuandu ignored them and said, "Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. Now that these people are no longer a threat to Benefactor Ye, why do you have to take their lives? "
"Haha, it's really pitiful that Buddha accepted you as his disciples." Gou Liang didn't care how angry the Shaolin Temple was and said, "Monk, let me ask you, did Buddha tell you that all living beings are equal? These people wanted to kill me, but you didn't stop them. Now that they can't beat me, you want me to let them go? Could it be that in your eyes, Ye Gui's life and the lives of tens of thousands of Demon Sect disciples are not as noble as the people behind you? "
"Amitabha, everything has a cause and effect. The Demon Sect killed first, so … "
"What a good 'cause and effect'!"
Gou Liang didn't let him continue, "The Demon Sect killed for the treasure because of the cause, and the righteous side killed the Demon Sect because of the effect. The righteous side killed the Demon Sect because of the cause, and I killed them because of the evil side they had to swallow. This is the so-called cycle of cause and effect. Monk, am I right? "
Monk Xuandu didn't know how to refute. Gou Liang sneered and said, "You don't have to use your Buddha as a pretense."
"In the end, you just don't want me to kill these people. Why are you beating around the bush? But why should I listen to you? Should the Demon Sect be killed, and the righteous side get away scot-free? I see that your wisdom is limited. It's better for you to return to the secular world as soon as possible, so as not to waste Buddha's saliva. "
"Arrogant brat!"
How could the leader of Shaolin stand by and watch the elders of Shaolin be humiliated? He was angry, but before he could attack, he was stopped by Monk Xuandu, who knew the situation of the enemy and himself.
"Benefactor Ye is right. It's me who is blind and shallow."
Monk Xuandu said "Buddha" again and sighed, "But since I'm here today, I can't let benefactor start a massacre. Let's not beat around the bush. Benefactor Ye, how can you let these young people live? I'm willing to mediate for both sides. "
"Monk, you really think highly of yourself. Do you have the ability to make them surrender to me, or do you want to give me your secret book in exchange for their lives? "
Gou Liang said disdainfully, "It's easy for me to kill them, but if I let them go, there will be endless trouble. Haha, how should I choose? Do you think I'm a fool? Besides, I killed Bao Shi and succeeded the position of the Devil Cult Leader. Has the Devil Cult killed anyone? And snatched another secret book? I lived a carefree life in the Zizai Cult. Even when I married the Yue Qian, I never made things difficult for anyone. It's you who want to be my enemy and not let me live a peaceful life. "
"You only have yourselves to blame for today's matter."
"Mediate? Humph, I'll never let the fleas who come knocking on my door have a second chance to appear in front of me. "
Monk Xuandu sighed with pity. "So, Benefactor Ye still wants to fight?"
"In that case, Cult Leader Ye, don't blame us for being rude."
Following this voice, five people suddenly appeared in front of them. The five people were all dressed plainly. One had white hair and a ruddy complexion, two looked like young men, one was old and stooped, and the other had a big belly. He smiled like a happy Buddha.
The momentum on their bodies was the same, better than any of the people present. They were undoubtedly peerless masters.
One of the young men played the guqin at the side, and the Falling Phoenix Flute played by the disciple of the Sanskrit Pavilion sounded. It was completely different from the scene of Pavilion Master Ye leading the accompaniment. At this time, the poisonous creatures in the air let out sharp cries, and a few fell from the sky when the guqin sounded. The crawling poisonous creatures on the ground also scrambled to retreat from the city wall.
The corner of Gou Liang's mouth curled up. This was interesting.
To let the Yue Qian not worry about him, he played the flute horizontally. The extremely gentle sound of the flute played a spiritual tune. Soon, the murderous sound of the Falling Phoenix Flute calmed the frightened poisonous creatures, allowing them to retreat to a safe distance.
The guqin player put away the guqin and stood up, bowing. "Little friend, you have such high attainments in the path of sound attacks at such a young age. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Gou Liang tied the jade flute back to his waist and said, "Senior is really not gentle. You scared these little things."
The guqin player said politely, "I've been rude."
Only then did Pavilion Master Ye have the opportunity to ask, "May I know who senior is? What is your relationship with my Sanskrit Pavilion?"
Obviously, other than Monk Xuandu who appeared at the beginning, no one recognized the other five people. The young man with the zither turned around and glanced at Pavilion Master Ye. Soon after, he withdrew his gaze and didn't answer. That indifferent glance made Pavilion Master Ye's heart tighten. It was exactly the same as when her mother looked at her with disappointment.
Seeing that Pavilion Master Ye was deflated, the others did not dare to ask rashly.
Monk Xuandu said, "Amitabha. Benefactor Ye, we have no intention of making things difficult for you, but we cannot ignore the life and death of our descendants. We ask Benefactor Ye to give us some face. "
"Old monk, if you want to bully us with numbers, just say it directly. Why do you have to talk so much nonsense? It makes me very unhappy." Gou Liang sneered, "If Yue Qian and I join hands, we may not necessarily be unable to defeat you. However, if both sides suffer heavy losses, then those Righteous Path cultivators who have reaped the fruits of others' labor will benefit. This is also a loss. How about this, I will exchange blows with you juniors. If they lose, I will take a secret manual and spare their lives. If I lose, I will immediately let everyone go. What do you think? "
Xuandu and the others looked at each other and said, "That's good, but we hope Benefactor Ye will not harm their lives."
"I have the ability to kill, but you can't save people?"
Gou Liang did not take his warning seriously. He took a step forward and said, "Chief Xia, I don't need to ask you to come down, right?"
Chief Xia was being watched by Xuandu and the others. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only fly down the tower.
"Northern Plains Sword Sect's Xia Jiu, ask for Cult Master Ye's brilliant moves!"
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and went up with his sword.
Northern Plains' Mad Sword was famous in Jianghu. Chief Xia's sword was indeed arrogant and fierce, but Xuandu and the others shook their heads after watching for a while. Sword Dao was the best way to see a person's temperament. Chief Xia's sword was no longer arrogant, but ruthless and unscrupulous.
After dozens of blows, Chief Xia was defeated as Xuandu and the others expected.
Chief Xia's face was full of unwillingness, but he still put away his sword and said, "I lost. What secret manual do you want?"
"What I want is not those broken sword manuals of Northern Plains' Sword Sect." Gou Liang laughed. He suddenly took off Chief Xia's human skin mask with lightning speed. "In terms of Hehuan Sect's disguise technique, no one can beat you."
He landed and looked at "Chief Xia" who had a murderous look. He smiled and said, "Master … I trust you have been well since we last met."
