Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 41: The Four Great Bandits Died
Upon hearing this, Lu Miaozi knew that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully, so he said, "I am just a dying man, and I know that I should be loyal to those who trust me. What's more, I once made a bet with the previous owner of this place that I would never set foot in the underworld again. But you have found the wrong person. I will not tell you the location of Yang Gong's treasury, and you can forget about getting the Evil Emperor's relic." After saying this, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

Li Gong seemed to have anticipated Lu Miaozi's attitude, and said calmly: "If that's the case, then I'll have to kill everyone at Pegasus Ranch, so that my trip here won't be in vain."

"Boy! How dare you!" Lu Miaozi was indeed extremely angry when he heard that. He was no longer as calm and composed as before, ready to face death, because Li Gong had touched his reverse scale.

His whole body was filled with internal energy, and he ignored his own injuries and locked his aura on Li Gong. He was willing to destroy himself and the person he owed him in this life in order to protect him.

Li Gong seemed not to take Lu Miaozi's threat seriously. As his true energy circulated, his skin actually turned purple-red.

He swung out a palm and hit Lu Miaozi, and actually dispersed all of his true energy as well as the trace of true energy that Zhu Yuyan had been using to destroy his vitality in his meridians.

Lu Miaozi, however, did not care about the joy of Chen Ke's recovery after so many years, and exclaimed: "The Purple Blood Method, you actually mastered the Purple Blood Method that no one has been able to master since the Demon Sect created its own skills."

"Master Lu is worthy of being the one that even the "Sanren" Ning Daoqi calls "Teacher" when they meet. He can actually recognize this skill. Now, tell me the answer!"

Lu Miaozi naturally knew a lot about this skill, because when he was discussing "Ten Volumes of Heavenly Demon Strategy" with the "Evil Emperor" Xiang Yutian in his early years, the Evil Emperor once said that there was another skill in the Demon Sect that could be compared with the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Technique" he practiced. It was a pity that no one had been able to practice it for thousands of years, so no one had the chance to see it.

The characteristics of this skill were noted down by Lu Miaozi. He thought he would never get the chance to see it in this lifetime, but unexpectedly he saw it at this moment. What he didn't expect was that the person who practiced this skill would be able to save him from death.

Then he calmed down his emotions, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said, "Li Gong, you have already mastered the "Purple Blood Method", and no one in the Demon Sect can be your opponent anymore. You should also know that the Evil Emperor's Relic is useless to you, so why bother to ask for it."

Li Gong returned to his previous cold expression and said, "As the symbol of our Saint Sect's leadership, its role is not something that an outsider like you can understand."

The implication is that he wants to use the reputation of this object to unify the demon sect.

Lu Miaozi naturally knew it, but if he told him the location of the evil emperor's relics, he would definitely become the culprit of the chaos in the martial arts world.

If he doesn't tell him, even if Li Gong doesn't have the Evil Emperor's relic, it will only delay his process of unifying the Demon Sect. In the Demon Sect, the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan has been abolished, Zhu Yuyan is his master, and with the addition of the Yinkui Sect's masters and subordinate forces, no one can stop him.

It would also cost the lives of Shang Xiuxun and the others. Thinking of this, he could not help but hesitate and struggle.

Li Gong saw his expression and naturally knew what Lu Miaozi was struggling with, so he said, "Well, let's make a deal. I'll help Pegasus Ranch kill the four bandits, and you'll tell me where the holy relic is."

However, he did not give them any chance to refute, and flew out directly, heading straight for the four major bandit camps.

Shortly after Li Gong left, Kou Zhong took Xu Ziling away from the banquet and came to visit again because of Li Xiuning's matter.

The two men saw that his expression was not right, so they asked him about it and found out that Li Gong came to visit and threatened the lives of everyone at Pegasus Ranch to force them to tell them about Yang Gong's treasure house.

Given Shuanglong's personalities, they would naturally not stand idly by. In addition, after this period of experience, they are no longer the rookies they were before and think they have some experience.

Li Gong's name had never appeared in the martial arts world, nor had he any amazing achievements. Although Lu Miaozi repeatedly persuaded him and spoke frankly of Li Gong's martial arts strength, the two men who had Ling Donglai's skills did not take Li Gong seriously.

Seeing that he could not persuade the two men, and deeply impressed by their sense of righteousness, Lu Miaozi gave up holding back and taught them everything he had learned.

Not long after, Shang Xiuxun was discussing the strategy of repelling the enemy with Li Xiuning and others in Pegasus Ranch, when they suddenly heard the deafening sound of killing outside the city. They thought that the four major bandits had arrived in advance and started to attack the city without waiting to set up camp.

In a hurry, everyone climbed up the city wall and found the camps of the four major bandits far outside the city. Fires were everywhere, and the sounds of shouting and fighting continued to be heard. Knowing that Jingling's allies had lost contact with the villa and no one would come to rescue, the city was insufficient in combat power and could not withstand the consumption, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

Fearing that this was the time for the enemy to lure the enemy in, Shang Xiuxun ordered the four city gates to be guarded tightly to prevent anyone from coming to steal the city.

After the noise outside the city disappeared, scouts were sent out to investigate.

Just when everyone's attention was focused outside the city, a figure entered the back mountain. It was Li Gong who was going to eliminate the four major bandits.

After he entered the nest, he saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling protecting Lu Miaozi on the left and right.

He said directly to Lu Miaozi: "I have fulfilled my promise, now it's your turn."

Shuanglong was secretly on guard while looking at Li Gong carefully.

The man in front of him was of burly build, and exuded an astonishing murderous aura. Although he had experienced a great battle, his clothes were still whiter than snow, and only the blood dripping from his hands from time to time showed the cruelty of the battle.

In fact, Li Gong had already sensed that Shuanglong was in the house long before he entered the house, but after entering the house, seeing how confident the two men were, combined with the news he had received from the Li family and the Yinkui sect in recent days, how could he not know what the two men were planning.

I couldn't help but laugh secretly, are you guys getting too cocky, or am I, Li Gong, too weak to lift the knife? You actually want to use the moves I created to deal with me. It seems like I need to teach them a lesson (tiaojiao) so that they don't disobey the script.

Kou Zhong, who was first affected by the Secret of Immortality and whose temperament began to change, said, "This Master Li is really amazing. If the owner knew that you helped her defeat the four great bandits, she would definitely thank you very much. Please come with us down the mountain to receive the reward, Master Li."

The real purpose was to provoke Li Gong with words, let him take the initiative to attack, and then find an opportunity to find his flaws.

Xu Ziling beside him also understood and echoed: "That's right, the beauty owner will definitely reward you well, Master Li."

Seeing Shuanglong's slick and cunning appearance, Li Gong became even more determined to teach them a lesson.

He ignored the two of them and talked to Lu Miaozi directly, "Tell me your answer!" But he ignored the two people in front of him.

Shuanglong had never been ignored like this before. Kou Zhong couldn't bear the miasma he felt from Li Xiuning any longer. He drew out his precious sword "Moon in the Well" and slashed at Li Gong.

Shang Xiuxun, who was called "the beautiful owner" by Xu Ziling, was listening to the scout's report at this time.

The scout was still in shock. After being comforted by everyone, he calmed down and said stutteringly, "Reporting to the owner, I will follow the owner's order and go to investigate what happened outside the city."

After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts and continued, "When I arrived outside the four major bandit camps, I observed from a high place for a while, but found that there was no movement in the camp, the gate was wide open, and bloody smell came out from time to time. Out of curiosity, I wanted to go in and check. Who knew that after entering, I found that..."

"How's the situation inside?"

The scout seemed to have seen the scene in the camp, and his face was horrified again. He said tremblingly, "There are piles of corpses and rivers of blood inside. I found that the heads of the four major bandits were placed in front of the four tallest corpse piles."
