Chapter Ninety-Five: The Man in Red
It is said that Yun Xiaotian of Baihua Valley looked at the words on the white cloth strip, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly sent someone to invite Qin Yufeng, the sect leader of the Sword God Sect, and everyone sat in a circle in the big tent, and on the wooden table in the middle, there was the white cloth strip.
After a long time, Xiao Jinfeng, the deputy valley master of Hundred Flowers Valley, muttered, "Could it really be that the Purple Cloud Palace has come down the mountain to seek revenge?"
Xiao Jinfeng's question happened to hit everyone's heart, and everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak.
At this time, the eldest disciple under Yun Xiaotian's tent asked Wu to get up and arched his hand: "Gu Master, the disciple has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Yun Xiaotian said expressionlessly: "You can tell me to hear it!"
Inquire Wudao: "The disciple thinks that this is a God-given opportunity, Ziyun Palace is treacherous, openly goes down the mountain to seek revenge, kills and injures many fellow Daoists, at this moment all sects and factions are full of righteous indignation, the valley lord just took this opportunity to raise his arms and shout, order the heroes, and then go to Ziyun Palace, this time he will not be able to destroy his Ziyun Palace!"
As soon as Xun Wu finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, and then said: "Yes, this is one of them, at this moment, all the sects and factions are indignant, but because of the examples of the three factions of Ziyun Palace, Bixia Palace, and Seven Star Palace, no one dares to pick this head, it can be said that the dragons have no leader." ”
"If the valley lord can come forward at this moment and lead the various sects to capture the Ziyun Palace, won't these sects be the only ones who will look forward to my Hundred Flowers Valley in the future, and now the Xuanyu Gate is already divided, so that my Hundred Flowers Valley is expected to return, and it is just around the corner to take charge of the world!"
As soon as Xun Wu and Xun Jian finished speaking, everyone agreed softly, and looked at Yun Xiaotian together, only to see Yun Xiaotian smile slightly, noncommittal, turned his head to Qin Yufeng and said, "What does Brother Qin think?"
Qin Yufeng slowly stood up, walked to the table, picked up the white cloth stained with bloodstains, looked at it, and said, "Brother Yun, according to the following, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple!"
On the side, Xiao Jinfeng stood up and said: "Yes, Gu Master, I think this matter is also a bit strange, Ziyun Palace is still not enough to protect itself at the moment, so there is still enough strength to go down the mountain to take revenge!"
Qin Yufeng continued: "Brother Xiao's words are good, at this moment of crisis, the Purple Cloud Palace should first seek self-protection, even if the various sects and factions forced Lu Zhengshan to death, it is a matter of later to take revenge, at this moment, go down the mountain to take revenge, isn't this setting yourself on fire and killing yourself? This section doesn't make sense!"
Xun Wu got up and said: "In my opinion, whether this is done by Ziyun Palace or not, let's just gather people and horses, kill back to Ziyun Palace, and avenge our dead and injured brothers, this is a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it!"
As soon as Xun Wu finished speaking, everyone in the tent loudly agreed, this time the two factions of Baihua and Yujian went to the mountains on both sides and invaded the Ziyun Palace, and the loss was really not small, and the individuals were holding back a resentment in their hearts, so they all applauded loudly when they heard Xun Wu say this!
Xiao Jinfeng waved his hand and said loudly: "You are really confused, if it is not Ziyun Palace who goes down the mountain to seek revenge, someone will secretly set up this poisonous plan from time to time, do a good job of this trap, and lead us to attack and kill Ziyun Palace, so that we can kill each other, but he will take advantage of the fisherman!"
As soon as Xiao Jinfeng said this, it was like giving everyone a basin of cold water, and for a moment there was silence in the big tent!
Yun Xiaotian, who had never spoken at this moment, slowly stood up and said: "Senior Brother Xiao is right, at this moment, the Purple Cloud Palace is at the end of the crossbow, if you want to destroy him, although it is not easy, but it is not impossible, but if it is not the people of the Purple Cloud Palace who went down the mountain to seek revenge, if we rush to the Purple Cloud Palace so recklessly, wouldn't we be used as guns by others?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly, only to see Yun Xiaotian looking out of the tent, as if talking to himself: "If this group of people is not the Purple Cloud Palace, then who will it be?
Asking the arrow whispered: "Isn't it this poisonous plan set up by the Xuanyu Gate?" Ziyun Palace openly turned against Xuanyu Gate, Ziyang Lao Dao wanted to clean up the portal, but he was worried about the mouth of the world, so he arranged it like this, and borrowed our hands to destroy Ziyun Palace?"
Xun Wu clapped his hands and said, "In this case, we might as well just kill the Purple Cloud Palace, what if we kill him?"
Imperial Sword Divine Sect Qin Yufeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious to ask Wuxian's nephew, if this poisonous plan is really set by Xuanyu Gate, you must know that while he wants to use our hands to destroy Ziyun Palace, he also wants to use Ziyun Palace to cut us off." ”
"Ziyun Palace is insignificant at this time, but there are two factions behind him, Bixia and Qixing, these two factions are new forces, let's attack Ziyun Palace, these two factions will definitely not sit idly by, and the best result at that time will be a lose-lose situation!"
Xiao Jinfeng took a step forward and said: "What Sect Master Qin said is reasonable, I think that eighty percent of this poisonous plan was set by that Xuanyu Sect, hmph!
On the side, he looked at Yun Xiaotian, who was standing at the door of the tent, and said, "In that case, what should we do?" Valley Lord, you have to think of a countermeasure that gives you the best of both worlds! An hour ago, more than a dozen sects sent people to ask for help, hoping that we can uphold justice for them, and now ...... it."
Yun Xiaotian on the side was unmoved, and said slowly: "In the current situation, if this poisonous plan is set by Xuanyu Gate, it is nothing, and what the teacher is worried about is that this poisonous plan is not set up by Xuanyu Gate! ”
Qin Yufeng turned to the side and asked, "Brother Yun, do you mean that there really is a third force secretly deploying it?"
Yun Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he nodded and said, "If this is the case, who will this force be? Now think about it, a few years ago, the ancient snake suddenly appeared, and now these series of things, are they all a coincidence? Or are they all related to this force hidden in the shadows?"
Thinking of this, Yun Xiaotian's brows were furrowed, and an indescribable strange feeling surged in his heart, with his advanced cultivation at the moment, a chill unconsciously rose in his back!
It is said that Chen Jianping was holding a strip of white cloth in his hand, and he had just sent a few people from the Giant Whale Gang away, when suddenly there was a voice behind him.
Chen Jianping was shocked, turned around suddenly, looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a man in red standing in the waist-deep grass, this man in red was surrounded by a cloud of black gas, and the whole person looked ghostly.
Chen Jianping raised his long sword to his chest and said in a deep voice: "What is Your Excellency's intention, why is it disrespectful to my Purple Cloud Palace?"
The man in red laughed dryly twice, and said hoarsely: "Chen Shaoxia is really a noble person who forgets things, and he doesn't know him for more than a month?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the man in black stretch out his hand and pull out a long black sword full of fishy smell from the bottom of his sleeved robe.
Chen Jianping was already suspicious in his heart, feeling that the red-clothed man in front of him seemed familiar, and when he saw the long sword in this person's hand, the lightning flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that this person turned out to be a demon sect demon who disguised himself as a beggar and followed him when he rescued everyone in Dongyao Mountain.
The man in red sneered, waved his long sword, and the green grass three feet away in front of him withered, only to hear him say gloomily: "This big game of chess, to this point, it's useless to keep you, let's die!"
Chen Jianping frowned and asked, "What does this big chess game mean? What are your plans? What does this have to do with me?"
The man in red grinned and said sharply: "If there is anything you don't understand, go to the Netherworld Mansion and ask Lord Yama!" As soon as the words fell, eight men in black slowly appeared in the grass around the man in red.
The seven or eight black-clothed men didn't say a word, and one of them attacked in front of Chen Jianping, Chen Jianping turned on one side, raised his scabbard to block the sword attacking from the left, and the long sword in his right hand forced back the three people who attacked head-on, and then the tip of the sword fell towards the person on the left from top to bottom.
But he said that the person on the left attacked a sword, which was blocked by Chen Jianping with a scabbard, and he was changing his move and slashing towards Chen Jianping's waist, who would have thought that Chen Jianping forced back the three people who attacked head-on with only one move, and the long sword turned around and immediately stabbed at himself.
Chen Jianping's sword came so fast, the man in black didn't have time to block the drive, he rushed backwards in his hurry, only to hear the sound of "stab", the man in black was cut by the bell sword on his chest, the man in black was shocked, and he took two or three steps back before stopping!
Chen Jianping succeeded with a sword, his body floated three feet to the left rear like light smoke, and the other seven black-clothed men shouted, and chased after him with their swords, only to hear Chen Jianping snort coldly, and the long sword pointed straight and rushed back.
The seven black-clothed men were caught off guard by attack, and the seven black-clothed men were rushing towards Chen Jianping's direction with all their might, but they didn't want Chen Jianping's body to stop yet, so they rushed back again, and the seven black-clothed men were suddenly in a hurry.
I saw Chen Jianping flickering high and low, rushing left and right, every time he made a sword, a man in black was injured, Chen Jianping took out seven swords in a row, and the seven men in black were all injured and fell to the ground.
After stabbing the last sword, Chen Jianping just stood back in place, although the eighth man in black was only cut through the black clothes on his chest, but he was almost disemboweled, and he didn't dare to attack it himself at this moment.
Chen Jianping raised his long sword flatly, pointed at the motionless red-clothed man with the tip of the sword, and said coldly: "Let me ask again, what is Your Excellency's intention, and why is it disrespectful to my Purple Cloud Palace?"
The man in red laughed angrily, shook his head and said loudly: "What a mad life who doesn't know death, ...... today"
Before the man in red could finish speaking, the bell and sword rang loudly, and Chen Jianping let out a long roar, and stabbed at the man in red with his sword.
When the man in red spoke, he was already on guard, only to see that he was not in a hurry, the long sword was blocked, and then he turned around, and immediately twisted Chen Jianping's long sword, and then stretched out his left palm and struck at Chen Jianping's flat door.
At this critical moment, Chen Jianping didn't have time to think about it, stretched out his left palm and slapped the man in red, and the two palms immediately separated as soon as they touched it, and the man in red immediately noticed that although Chen Jianping's swordsmanship was exquisite, he could not be said to be poor in terms of internal cultivation, but it was quite inferior to himself.
At that moment, he snorted coldly in his heart, and said loudly: "Arrogant thief, eat me again!" said that he was in a hurry to turn around, and hit Chen Jianping in the back of the heart with one palm. Chen Jianping turned around sharply and shook his long sword, stabbing at the palm of the man in red.
The man in red had already taken precautions, his left palm remained unchanged, the long sword in his right hand opened the bell sword, and he shot three sword rays to seal Chen Jianping's retreat left and right and behind him, and then pulled out his back with his chest, and his left arm was pierced.
Chen Jianping saw that although the opponent's palm was slow and straight, it was mixed with the slightest sound of palm wind, he secretly marveled in his heart, recalling that his master Lu Zhengshan had taught himself: "With swordsmanship, practicing Xuanyumen swordsmanship in a short period of time can be based on the rivers and lakes, but if you want to really compete with the world's first-class masters, you have to practice hard for twenty years!" Now that I think about it, the reason why Shizun said this should refer to this section of palming.
Seeing that the man in red was about to slap him, Chen Jianping shouted: "Okay! I'll take your palm!" The next moment, Chen Jianping's right palm collided with the left palm of the man in red.
