He withdrew the streamlined long knife back into its scabbard, rubbed his hands that were a little cold from the night rain, and then looked at Zhu Ji and Sheng Tang, whose bodies had begun to freeze and stiffen, and smiled slightly.

Then, he raised his feet and stepped over the corpses of Zhu Ji and Sheng Tang, intending to go back to Hongmen to see the master's situation.

He believed that at this time, the immortal phoenix had already succeeded, and the master had died.

Although he didn't know the person of the Immortal Phoenix, he knew about the martial arts of the Immortal Phoenix.

Therefore, he firmly believed that Master would not see the dawn of the coming dawn.

Now, he must return to Hongmen to prepare for the obituary of his master Hong Hui being killed by the immortal phoenix at dawn and sending obituaries to the helmsmen of the various branches of Hongmen.

He also had to be prepared to be able to successfully succeed his master and ascend to the throne of the head of the Hongmen at dawn.

Twenty years of thinking, twenty years of wishes, and now, finally let him come true.

Although the means seem a little more despicable and obscene, but when a man realizes his dreams, which one does not use such despicable means?

The heroes in the rivers and lakes, the kings of all dynasties, which one is not like this?

Before he could step out, a voice suddenly came.

Although the voice was not very loud, it was full of penetrating power, as if it had come directly from some unknown time and space.

The voice said slowly: Old friend, you have seen it, I said a long time ago, he will definitely not stop.

If you listen carefully, this is the voice of the immortal phoenix.

Another voice immediately picked up: I was wrong, maybe, I was really wrong, or rather, I was wrong from the beginning.

This voice is actually ......

It was actually the strongest meaning of the Phoenix Dance Nine Swords that had already been hit by the immortal phoenix, the voice of Hong Hui who died when the phoenix rushed to the nine heavens.

When Wei Shan looked up, he saw Hong Hui accompanied by the immortal phoenix, penetrating the vast night rain and coming to the entrance of the death forest.

The rain fell, rattling, but instead of hitting them, it scattered in all directions, as if separated by a huge glass cover.

And Hong Hui didn't look like he was going to die at the moment.

What's even more strange is that the pinhole-sized wound on his body that was originally stabbed by the Phoenix Sword for eight phoenix dances for nine days no longer bleeds, and even the wound has healed.

Wei Shan was stunned.

This...... This...... What's going on?

Hong Hui and the immortal phoenix were walking towards Weishan step by step, behaving not at all like enemies facing each other and killing each other, but like old friends who had been separated for many years and suddenly reunited.

The footsteps of the two were steady, and the distance they took in each step was almost the same, two feet and three inches, no more, no less.

From the time they appeared in Wei Shan's sight to the time they took the thirty-fifth step, they had already come to Wei Shan's face, but they didn't look at Wei Shan.

They just stared at Zhu Ji and Sheng Tang who were lying on the ground together, and a complicated and heavy expression suddenly appeared in their eyes.

Hong Hui suddenly bent down, hugged Zhu Ji and Sheng Tang left and right, looked sad and sad, and said slowly: I was wrong, I was really wrong.

I only learned this peerless lightning sword technique from my master Ma Mian, but I didn't learn his broad and benevolent mind.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have learned his peerless sword technique at that time, I shouldn't have founded this Hongmen at all, and I shouldn't have used such harsh standards to demand these children.

I really shouldn't test them with the same cruelty as dealing with an enemy.

If it weren't for me learning that peerless sword technique, if I hadn't founded this Hongmen, if it weren't for me looking for people to duel everywhere in order to break out of this empty name,

If I had honestly gone back to inherit my father's inheritance and become an honest landlord in the countryside, I would not have lost my only daughter in a row.

Mei'er will not lose his parents, and these children will not end up killing each other like today, it is all my fault.

If life can really be started anew, then I would rather be an ordinary person, an ordinary country rich man.

This feeling was something I suddenly realized after defeating a hundred masters in the rivers and lakes in a row, but at that time, I was already riding a tiger.

Because I've become a celebrity.

Since I can become a celebrity by challenging others, then others can also become a celebrity by challenging me, which is the law of immortality in the rivers and lakes.

Lan Yutang put his hands behind his back, didn't look at him, nor at Wei Shan, who was already panicked on the side, looked up at the vast night rain, and said slowly:

The reason why you have formulated such seemingly ruthless rules for selecting heirs may be because after you challenged a hundred masters in a row twenty years ago, you know more clearly the rules of survival of the Jianghu people.

This is a river and lake where the strong survive and the weak eat the strong, and only the strong can survive in this river and lake.

The reason why you are so harsh on them, the reason why you test them with the same cruelty as you deal with your enemies, is just to let them know that this river and lake will not give you any chance to explain.

Defeat is death, rather than being defeated in the hands of other masters after they take over Hongmen, it is better for you, the master, to let them remember this lesson as early as possible.

Hong Hui took off his robe, covered the completely cold corpses of Zhu Ji and Sheng Tang, and said in a deep voice: However, this lesson seems to be too cruel?

Lan Yutang sighed slightly, and then, turning around, looked at the Hongmen not far away, which had been completely covered by the night rain and was slowly blurred, and said:

However, the rivers and lakes are like this, either you die or I die, just as you just said, this is also the law of the cycle of rivers and lakes.

Three months ago, when you told me with a flying pigeon that something had happened in Hongmen, and someone was about to make a subversive conspiracy, and you wanted me to help you play a play to find out the traitor.

However, now, although this real traitor has been found, what can he do, in the end, it is inevitable that he will kill, kill, kill......

If the meaning of the rivers and lakes is to constantly kill people, then I would rather not have this rivers and lakes, no wonder Jian Thirty has been thinking about retiring from the rivers and lakes.

Maybe......

Speaking of this, he patted Hong Hui's shoulder from behind, and said with infinite emotion: Perhaps, old friends, good brothers, we are really old.

Now, this river and lake no longer belong to you and me, if you have time, I only hope that you can come to my Fujia Villa and have a drink with me.

Hong Hui put his hand on the hand of the immortal phoenix on his shoulder, and muttered: Perhaps, I really want to have a good drink with you,

Because only when I am drunk, I can forget the series of changes that have happened in Hongmen in the past few years, Liu Er, Mei'er, and these children have become my eternal pain,

Perhaps, when this dawn comes, there will be no more Hongmen in the rivers and lakes, perhaps, I will go to the seclusion in the mountains and forests, and never show up in the rivers and lakes again,

Perhaps, I will go to Fujia Villa to spend the rest of my life with you, an old friend, a good brother who grew up together, drinking and playing chess, just like when we were young.

Or maybe...... Oh, there are always a lot of things in life, and no one can say for sure, what will happen when this dawn comes?

Old friends, good brothers who grew up together, if I'm not mistaken, we shouldn't have seen each other for almost twenty years, right?
