Chapter 195: Chi Xiao recognizes his master and visits the hunting unicorn at night

On the Chixiao Sword, the light changed and gradually converged, and behind the young man, the red dragon figure was slowly lowering its eyes, and the sword energy was flowing. Even if the Dharmakaya level martial arts did not require, the Dharmakaya level martial arts were also demonstrated here.

Ji Yanzhong's thoughts froze and he almost lost the ability to think.

All the experiences of the past came to his mind, and he finally understood that Yue Qianfeng was not the real sword master, but the person who attracted most of Li Guanyi's attention. The old man's breathing became heavy.

Li Guan put the Chixiao sword back into the scabbard.

"Senior, what do you think?"

Ji Yanzhong took several deep breaths before he suppressed his emotions.

"you……"

He paused and said directly:

"What do you need me to do?"

"Do you want me to take you to the [Hunting Kirin Conference]?"

Ji Yanzhong is one of the only remaining faces of the Zhongzhou royal family. His skills are extremely pure. Among those who practice the [Red Dragon Power] today, he is the most advanced. He has practiced all nine martial arts in the magical skill "Red Dragon Suppresses the Nine Provinces" to the extreme.

He is also an elder of the Zhongzhou royal family. With his status, he can indeed bring Li Guanyi into the [Hunting Kirin Conference].

Li Guanyi said calmly: "No need."

"If you go, the situation will really be out of control."

"I don't intend to do such a big thing. I will go to the [Hunting Unicorn Conference] in person and find a way to bring the [Seal] out. Please go to the garrison and wait. I will pass the Seal to you. You already know the plan afterwards."

Ji Yanzhong asked anxiously: "Isn't it too risky for you to go there?"

Li Guanyi replied: "Without taking risks, how can you accomplish great things?" He held the Chixiao Sword, but just raised his hand, and the magic sword was thrown out and fell steadily into the sword box again.

The young Taoist said happily:
"This sword will do me no good if I take it away, and it will only bring me harm, so I will leave it here."

"Well, thank you."

Li Guan bowed one by one.

He picked up the sword and put it down with great ease.

He just bowed slightly to Ji Yanzhong again, turned around and strode away, walked into the night, and soon disappeared. Ji Yanzhong was absent-minded for a long time, and the old man's gaze fell on the put down Chixiao Sword again.

The sword seemed extremely satisfied and didn't make any noise.

After a long time, Ji Yanzhong said: "...Red Sky Sword Master."

"No……."

"It's not that the Scarlet Sky Sword chose him, but that the heroes of this era are capable of drawing this sword."

Ji Yanzhong sighed. He saw a ray of light on the Chixiao Sword began to change, and then quickly disappeared. This was the formation left by Si Wei on the sword. When someone wanted to plunder the sword, the Chixiao Sword would be taken away. At this time, the Chixiao Sword vibrated slightly.

Ji Yanzhong looked solemn.

Si Wei already knew that the Chixiao Sword had awakened.

The old man thought of what Si Wei said before he came, and the expression on his face became serious. When the Scarlet Sky Sword awakens, the academy will change again, restraining the power of the troubled times, and the outstanding young people of the entire academy will once again walk the world.

Hundreds of schools of thought are about to emerge.

Ji Yan had mixed emotions. He was excited to see a hero who could lift the Chixiao Sword, but he was also confused because he saw the signs of a great chaos in the world. After a long time, the old man sighed. He knew.

This means that I am really old.

Ji Yanzhong's palm gently pressed the Chixiao Sword: "Let us see what the heroes of the younger generation can do." The old man left the Chixiao Sword here, and then went to the place where the city was defended in person according to Li Guanyi's instructions.

This crucial hidden piece has already fallen.

Li Guanyi used his body skills to quickly move forward and returned to where he lived.

Yaoguang was already waiting for him there. Li Guanyi explained the situation to Yaoguang. They needed to go to the City Lord's Mansion and find a way to get Xue Zhaoji and the seal out. Only then could they revive the whole situation.

Li Guan put down the snacks, picked up Qilin, and went to the City Lord's Mansion with Yaoguang.

Li Guanyi's body movements are pretty good. As for Yaoguang, although she has almost no martial arts skills, her means of concealing her aura are far superior to Li Guanyi's, so naturally there will be no problem.

Yaoguang personally chose a corner.

The girl's eyes were cautious and sophisticated, like a grandmaster's.

Pointing at the corner, the young Taoist grinned, "You mean, this corner is the best place, a blind spot where you can easily slip in without being discovered?"

The silver-haired girl nodded.

Li Guanyi said: "Then, the job of concealing your aura will be left to you, Yaoguang."

Yaoguang looked calm and nodded.

Li Guanyi felt a warm and soft hand holding his hand.

Yaoguang's voice was calm, and she said, "There are master-level warriors. Master-level warriors have wills like gods and strong intuition. Only in this way can I calm your breath."

Li Guan nodded. At this moment, he didn't want to be too particular about anything.

He held the silver-haired girl's hand with his backhand.

Pull it over here.

Then he pressed the high wall with one hand, flew into the air, and landed on the top of the wall with a dazzling light. Then he jumped down, and the black tortoise image floated out again. Li Guanyi stepped lightly on the tortoise shell to relieve the force of falling, and he landed steadily without making any sound.

"The City Lord's Mansion is huge, but since we have the map, it's not so bad."

"Let's go."

Li Guanyi and Yaoguang slowed down their pace and walked slowly in the City Lord's Mansion.

It was originally a place full of dangers, but with Yaoguang there, it was like walking in one's own yard. The girl had a cool and calm expression and walked slowly. She even took out the snacks that Li Guanyi had just prepared from the small pocket in her sleeve and chewed them slowly.

Chew and chew.

Li Guanyi suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yaoguang's wrist.

With a sway of his body, he stepped on the trunk and rose directly to the top of the tree.

Several servants, all of whom were skilled in martial arts, walked over holding lanterns. Two of them had swords on their waists, two held sticks, and one held a crossbow. This was a standard military configuration. If the lantern in the hand of the sword-wearing man in front was replaced with a shield, then this would be the basic configuration of the Central Plains Army.

As they walked, they chatted and laughed: "I heard that Master Yuwen brought back a beauty?"

"That's right. I took a look at her. She is so incredibly beautiful. I have never seen such a beauty since I was born. She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. Young Master Yuwen wants to take her away. Even the city lord has agreed to everything from Young Master Yuwen. But she just won't give in on this one thing."

"In the past, he often went to see Miss Hua Rui."

"But since this girl was kept in our City Lord's Mansion, she has never gone to look for Madam Hua Rui. I heard someone say that Madam Hua Rui died suddenly because the City Lord wanted to win the heart of that beauty and refused to leave any evidence of his relationship with Madam Hua Rui, so he killed her to silence her."

"Hahaha, the city lord is also a romantic man."

"If such a beauty stays with us, even if we just look at her, she can prolong our lives. If we can kiss her, ah, I would be willing to die for it!"

These people walked away while discussing the matters in the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that there are quite a few people imprisoned in this huge City Lord's Mansion.

"City Lord's Mansion..."

The City Lord's Mansion is too big, so it may take some time to find someone.

Li Guan looked over there and lowered his voice, saying, "Let's slow down, be careful, and go over it."

Yaoguang nodded.

Li Guanyi leaped with Yaoguang and landed on the eaves. He walked forward slowly. After a while, he heard bursts of rough and heroic laughter. He said, "Hahahaha, Lord City Lord, where did you find such fine wine? It's so rare for us to drink it."

Li Guanyi's mind was slightly moved, and he looked over, only to see a banquet area in the main garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Several heroes from the martial arts world were having a banquet each, and beauties were singing and dancing around them. Li Guanyi didn't want to leave, but Yaoguang stretched out her finger and pulled his sleeve.

Li Guanyi understood what he meant, so he took Yaoguang and slowly approached.

The voice was easily audible: "Today, so many heroes have gathered together just for that little kid who is only fifteen or sixteen years old and dares to call himself a madman."

"What bullshit are you talking about? I know what Lu Youxian does. How can you possibly escape from him without some skills?"

"Hahaha, what the Angry Scale Dragon King said is true."

Li Guanyi raised his eyes and looked.

However, there were several people sitting in the seats. The one who was speaking had an imposing bearing, and was quite rough and heroic. Although his temples were slightly gray, his brows were like that of a thirty-year-old man. He was holding two beauties in his arms and drinking. Behind him, the waves were surging and turned into a dragon.

Li Guanyi recognized this man.

[The leader of the 72 linked villages, extremely strong in water combat]

Looking in other directions again, the Grand Elder of the Yin Yang Rotating Sect was an extremely beautiful person whose gender could not be determined. She had a strong internal energy; the Angry Sword Immortal of the Kunlun Sword Sect was holding a sword with his eyes closed to rest; the Sect Master of the Motian Sect was about sixty years old, with an extraordinary temperament and a heroic bearing.

Li Guanyi also saw a familiar face. It was Nan Qingping, whom he had seen before and seemed to be related to the Green Robe Guest. He was drinking tea alone. Over there, there were some people from the martial arts world. The leader was wearing a jet-black robe with gold edges, a black jade belt, a jasper hairpin, a beautiful beard, and looked majestic.

Li Guanyi recalled the information in his mind:

"The Lord of Zhenbei City."

"His martial arts skills are not very good, but they are at the fifth level. He can check and balance the generals of Zhenbei City. Needless to say, this is another trick of Chen Dingye."

The mayor of Zhenbei City raised his glass and drank with the martial artists. He suddenly smiled and said, "With all of you experts here, if Li Guanyi is in Zhenbei City, he will naturally not be able to escape. However, you should also know that the [Hunting Unicorn Conference] is just a cover. Our goal is something else."

The Angry Scale Dragon King laughed loudly: "Of course, this is the reason for the chaos!"

"The State of Chen has become so weak. The old man Regent has appeared and almost broke the spine of the State of Chen. Xue Daoyong, the fierce tiger, has become the powerful prime minister. The so-called State of Chen has become a pile of rotten meat. It can only breathe in but not out. At this time of great change, we should naturally make some preparations for ourselves."

"Don't worry. Among my 72 linked villages, there are tens of thousands of men who are proficient in water and can fight on boats with swords in hand. They can all operate small boats and move along the rivers. They are proficient in swords, bows and crossbows. When the world changes drastically, we can take a step forward and serve the Grand Master with all our strength. If we take a step back, we can also rise up and become warlords."

“However, I didn’t expect that City Lord Tong, who was born into a noble family and had been favored by the emperor many times, would end up joining forces with the Yuwen family, colluding with the enemy and betraying your own people, ahahahaha…”

The Angry Scale Dragon King smiled arrogantly and didn't care about the city lord's face.

The city lord simply said calmly: "Dragon King, look at me, Duke of Taiping Li Wanli, and General Yue Pengwu of the Flying Peng Kingdom, who is stronger?" When he said this, everyone else present laughed.

The leader of the Motian Sect smiled and said, "City Lord Tong is also a local hero and has made military achievements. His achievements should be recorded in history books in the future, but he cannot be compared with great generals like Li Wanli, the Duke of Taiping, and Yue Pengwu."

City Lord Tong said again:
"Then everyone, who is more loyal to the country, me, Li Wanli, or Yue Pengwu?"

These heroes of the world just laughed out loud.

City Lord Tong was not angry, but said calmly: "Look, everyone, even the loyalty of Duke Taiping and Yue Pengwu would be suspected and killed by the emperor; even their fame and strategy would be cut off by the emperor."

"And I am not as loyal as them."

"Your Majesty, can you stop being suspicious of me?"

"Such a pillar of the country is killed at will. My talent and knowledge are far inferior to theirs. Since the emperor is suspicious of me, will he be reluctant to kill me?"

The mayor of Zhenbei City had a calm expression and said, "My name has probably appeared in the emperor's books, but it was Xue Daoyong, the fierce tiger, who tied up his energy and forced him to devote himself to the separation of the emperor and the prime minister."

"Once he leaves his hands empty, I will be in trouble."

"How can a man of honor be controlled by others in this world? Confucius said, rulers should be rulers, subjects should be subjects, fathers should be fathers, and sons should be sons."

"If the ruler is not a ruler, then the subject is not a subject!"

"He is not my king, but just a common man!"

All the heroes in the martial arts world laughed and praised: "Great!"

City Lord Tong was drinking and chatting with these martial artists at ease, discussing many things in the martial arts world. Another middle-aged man smiled and said, "My Divine Beast Villa has also obtained a lot of exotic beasts, which have been placed in this city lord's mansion. When Master Yuwen leaves, he can take them away as a gift to General Yuwen."

"But where is Master Yuwen? Why is he gone?"

The Angry Sword Immortal opened his eyes and said calmly, "He must have gone to see that little girl."

Everyone's face changed color.

The chief elder of the Yin Yang Rotating Sect smiled and said, "The most beautiful woman in the world."

Li Guanyi determined the target of these warriors, and knew that Yu Wenhua was not here, and thought, "Yu Wenhua, it is very likely that he is going to kill Xue Zhaoji, we must hurry up."

Yaoguang nodded.

After all, there were four martial arts masters in front of them. The Yaoguang's cover could not completely hide Li Guanyi, and it was impossible for them to get too close. They made a circle and followed Yu Wenhua's breath. Soon Li Guanyi found Yu Wenhua's location.

He and Yaoguang were on the roof, and Li Guanyi found a perfect angle.

He drew out the Autumn Water Sword, opened a small hole in the house, and looked inside. As expected, he saw Yu Wenhua. The 21-year-old, outstanding figure of the Yu Wen family, his demeanor was calmer than more than a month ago.

Dressed in a royal blue suit and with an extraordinary bearing, Li Guanyi could vaguely feel the tiger aura around Yu Wenhua. It was no longer at the level that he had to display the Yu Wen family's unique skills to arouse in the previous competition.

Li Guanyi raised his eyes slightly: "I have broken through, now I am in the fourth level."

"No wonder Yuwen Lie gave this matter to him."

Yu Wenhua was the first strong enemy Li Guanyi encountered.

During the fight that day, both men were evenly matched in strength and physique. Now that he has made a breakthrough, he should have obtained further inheritance from the Yuwen family. He should not be underestimated. Li Guan saw a middle-aged man behind Yuwen Hua, who looked calm and dignified.

There is an extremely strong military aura.

Li Guanyi gave up the plan to try to kill Yu Wenhua with the [Cloud-breaking Sky-shaking Bow].

The one next to him is obviously a famous general of the Yuwen family.

Yu Wenhua today was not like the day when he was wearing armor during the Chen Kingdom Grand Ceremony. He was actually quite handsome and had the spirit of a warrior. He walked over with a food box in his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Nangong, you haven't eaten or drunk for three days. Even if you want to leave here, you have to eat something."

"If you don't have the strength, you can't escape."

A gentle voice said indifferently: "General Yuwen has locked me up here, and you still say such nice things. You are really a son of a military family. You have said all the good and bad things, but I dare not eat this delicacy of yours."

Yu Wenhua laughed: "Girl, are you worried that I will poison you?"

"Hahaha, why would I, Yu Wenhua, want a woman who needs such unrefined means? The girl's martial arts are not high, if I want to use force, can you defeat me? I don't want to do this, because I regard the girl as the person I admire in this life."

"Not an ordinary woman."

The Nangong girl seemed very calm and said calmly, "That is to say, General Yuwen has forced himself on quite a few ordinary women?"

Yu Wenhua just smiled faintly and said, "It's just something we both agreed to."

"Girl, Yu Wen only has one thing to say here. You have a beauty that is unrivaled in the world, but you don't have the power to protect yourself. If I don't protect you today, according to the temperament of those martial arts masters in this courtyard, you would have already become their bed toy."

"Girl, think carefully about whether you want to follow me or something else."

That girl was just peaceful.

Yu Wenhua sneered, put the things down, stood up, waved his sleeves, and walked away.

Outside the door, Yu Wenhua said respectfully: "Seventh Uncle, let's go and see those martial artists."

Yuwen Tianxian said: "Okay, in Brother Lie's strategy, you also have to make friends with them."

Yu Wenhua said, "Yes, humph, they are just martial artists. In my uncle's plan, Qilin, Li Guanyi, the city lord, and these martial artists are not the focus. The core is to use this [Hunting Kirin Conference] as a basis to carve a hole inside Zhenbei City."

"Without Li Guanyi, my uncle would have found Zhao Guanyi, Liu Guanyi, and other excuses. Now I'm leaving a hole here. When we come one day, this mighty city will open up like a woman exposing her breasts, completely defenseless."

"Except for Zhenbei City, nothing can catch my uncle's eye."

Yuwen Tianxian said: "Be careful with your words."

Yu Wenhua smiled casually and said, "Uncle, there are only you and me here. Besides, the martial artists in the martial arts world have a different view on this matter. The man surnamed Tong is a smart man and has already seen through it. Uncle promised him a county lordship, and he has already been tempted. What if I tell him about it?"

"It's a pity that we were unable to lure Ji Yanzhong here. Otherwise, we would have had a chance to drag the royal family of Zhongzhou into this. The dignity of the Emperor of Chen was completely shattered by the Taiping Duke's men. Uncle should also want to crush the untouchable dignity of the Emperor of Zhongzhou, right?"

He sighed, "I just regret that I never met Li Guanyi."

"Otherwise, now that I have achieved a breakthrough and have acquired a lot of martial arts skills, I will beat him to death."

Yuwen Tianxian said: "Li Guanyi is not an ordinary person. Brother Lie said that Li Guanyi is most likely the orphan of the Duke of Taiping. He has counselors by his side and he has his own strategies. Most people who escape from disasters like this will seek good fortune and avoid danger. This hunting meeting is too direct, I'm afraid he won't come."

Yu Wenhua also laughed out loud: "Indeed!"

"If you go to a banquet alone, you are either a fool or a hero."

"If he dares to come, I will respect him a lot!"

Behind them, Li Guanyi and Yaoguang heard the truth about the Yuwen family's plan clearly. The young Taoist grinned and pointed at the guy with his hand. Yuwen Tianxian seemed to sense something, paused slightly, and looked back.

But I only saw the sky was dark and gloomy, and I didn't see anything different.

Yu Wenhua said, "Seventh Uncle, what's wrong?"

Yuwen Tianxian's frown softened and he said:
"Nothing... maybe it's just my illusion."

"Let's go."

They left. On the eaves of the house, the young Taoist and Yaoguang hid in the shadows. Yaoguang stuffed a snack directly into the young man's mouth. She covered Li Guanyi's mouth with her right hand, her eyes wide open, with no other expression on her face. She said in a calm voice:

"He is a sixth-level warrior. His inner strength is very deep and he can sense the killing intent."

"If you don't want to be tied up and put in a cell with me, you need to restrain your murderous intent."

Li Guan nodded.

The silver-haired girl moved her hand away.

Li Guanyi slowed down his pace and suddenly smiled:
"If that's the case, it's not bad."

The silver-haired girl took out some snacks and stuffed them into Li Guanyi's mouth again.

Plug, plug!
………………

At this time, Chen Chengbi was hiding in the wine storage area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion. He felt bored and had nothing to do for a while, so he just ate and drank. While he was drinking, he suddenly heard someone coming from outside and said:

"Master Yuwen has arrived, and he is in the mood to talk. He wants to get some wine to toast the heroes."

"We need to come get something."

Chen Chengbi was shocked when he heard this. The old man had been eating and drinking secretly for a while, and then he looked around.

When he saw a wine jar as big as a person, he was overjoyed. He picked up a big roast chicken, opened the lid of the wine jar, jumped inside, and closed the jar with his backhand. The wine inside was half empty. The old man went in, but found that there was another person inside.

He was wearing a blue shirt, his hair was half white, and he was chewing on a big chicken drumstick in his hand.

There were carving knives and bamboo slips hanging around his waist.

Chen Chengbi's eyes widened: "Huh?! Tu Shengyuan!?"

"Why are you here, old man?!"

Tu Shengyuan, a guest at Tianxia Diyilou, was dumbfounded:

"Mad King?!"

"Why are you here?!"

Then they all answered:

"Join in the fun! Looking for a fight!"

"Join in the fun! Find something to write about!"

The two of them looked at each other in bewilderment. But before they could react, the servant had already opened the door and came in. He pointed at the large wine jar and said, "This is it. It's the best wine, aged for thirty years."

"Move it away, move it away, and put it in the middle of the yard."

"Later, Master Yuwen will open it himself."

Chen Chengbi and Tu Shengyuan looked at each other.

The two of them twitched their lips.

"grass!"
