The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 190 Li Xunhuan's Limited Pleasure Form (Bonus Chapter 23 for 10,000 words from monthly votes)

At this moment, the heated exchange between Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin also circled back to the issue of this customized article.

"Brother, have you finished reading? It's quite interesting, isn't it? Especially the part about me lying in bed drunk, and you and her."

"enough!"

Lin Shiyin interrupted Long Xiaoyun's ramblings again. As the person who commissioned this novel, she hadn't even had a chance to read it once, and the dog of a man in front of her had spoiled the whole thing for her.

"Is that enough? No! Just like you said in the article, Brother Xun~ it's not enough~"

"Drafting this? Long Xiaoyun, don't you want to look at your own problems?"

"What's wrong with me! No matter how much I schemed against Li Xunhuan, I never treated you badly!"

"If you were good to me, would I need to look at this kind of stuff!"

Lin Shiyin's combat power has increased by another 30%, which made Lin Xian'er, who was originally cheering for her, take a few steps back in fright by her aura.

After all, Lin Shiyin is just too damn crazy right now.

The fact that he kept saying "grass" was so rapid and unexpected was completely incomprehensible to her. All she could say was that in terms of contrast, Lao Lin had really pulled it off!

"Since you've already abandoned all shame, I won't hold back either! Long Xiaoyun! Tell me yourself, how old were you when you married me?"

Long Xiaoyun remained silent.

"You, in your thirties, shamelessly set your sights on me, a girl in my early twenties. Now, more than a decade later, I still haven't caught up to your age, but you're almost fifty!"
A man nearing fifty! An old man! Doesn't he realize his own situation?!

Since Xiaoyun was born, what the hell is the difference between me and a widow?
Originally, I didn't think it mattered much in this regard! But I'm already over thirty, a woman of this age."

Lin Shiyin took a deep breath. Her pause wasn't to back down, but because her ultimate move's charge was almost full!
"You said before that you gave me everything, and didn't even take a concubine! Was it because you didn't want to? Even if you did, would you be able to use her? In the end, that concubine would probably still be cheating on you with other men!"
After all, what else can you do besides spit on her?
"So what if I'm just reading some novels and stories!"

Iron Flute, standing to the side, had already silently straightened its back.

Previously, he had been attacked in a similar way by Long Xiaoyun's men, who even pretended that they heard from his concubine that he was incompetent, and that the so-called concubine was just a face-saving act.

But in reality, if there were no such need, someone his age wouldn't need to put on such a show.

So he really does have some skills.

Although not much!

But it's definitely not as low-level as Long Xiaoyun, who can only resort to spittle!

Long Xiaoyun was so angry he was about to vomit blood. He pointed at Lin Shiyin and kept repeating "you you you you you." But where did the quick-witted Master Long, who could just hold his own against Lin Shiyin, go?
Therefore, lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife!

"Then Mother, is he really my biological father?" Long Xiaoyun roughly understood the situation by now. Her mother just liked to read a few books, which was not a big problem at all.

"It's him. No matter how beastly he is, he's still your biological father."

Long Xiaoyun's lips twitched slightly. His mother had gone mad with killing, and her words had also dragged him into it.

"Long Xiaoyun, let's not make things so ugly."

The onlookers all had expressions like old people glued to their phones on the subway. This is just plain ugly; they're practically the most ruthless couple in the world.

"Let's get a divorce. I only want Xingyun Manor, which was originally my dowry. You can take all the family businesses you built up, including the farms and shops we had before. And then there's Xiaoyun."

In this day and age, if a couple divorces, the woman can only take her dowry and has no chance to fight for custody of the children.

However, now that Long Xiaoyun has completely broken ties with his biological father, and Long Xiaoyun even suspects that this child is not his, there is a chance to resolve this matter privately.

Of course, these things are not suitable to be discussed here.

Lin Shiyin, who had gradually calmed down, also realized that she had become famous this time.

But it didn't matter anymore. Compared to the previous ten years of living such a miserable life, where she could only suffer in silence every day, she felt that the sky had become much clearer after venting all her negative emotions.

Just like Lin Xian'er said, make yourself happy first before thinking about anything else.

Besides, she wasn't alone; she had Xiaoyun and her best friend.

At this moment, Lin Xian'er stepped forward and grasped the other person's hand, providing him with sufficient support.

Long Xiaoyun, who had suffered devastating damage, was still somewhat dazed.

He didn't say anything, but staggered back a few steps before sitting directly on the platform. His eyes were unfocused, and it was unclear whether he believed Lin Shiyin's words or still felt that he was in Li Xunhuan's game.

Lin Shiyin knew that she was not in the spotlight right now, so she took the initiative to step back. Of course, when she passed Li Xunhuan, she did not forget to snatch the fan fiction she had spent a lot of money to customize from his hands.

She just loves reading erotic novels! So what!
Anyway, she had already made a huge fool of herself before, and now she could finally have a change of heart and be completely free from her shackles. However, she had broken free of these shackles so easily that even her best friend, Lin Xian'er, was not quite used to it.

As Lin Shiyin retreated back to the group of people on the stage, several women rushed forward to greet her. They were astonished by Lin Shiyin's performance, but also admired her courage to speak out.

Of course, there is also sympathy for his more than ten years of tragic life.

Therefore, they were very understanding of her crazy behavior, and some of the young female fans were even captivated by Lin Shiyin's aura just now.

Fang Yunhua paid no attention to the discussion among the crowd behind him, although his keen hearing accidentally overheard random words such as fan fiction, whether he was really no good, and what Li Xunhuan was like.

He had already set his sights on Zhao Zhengyi and his group.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"We did this out of brotherhood. It's because our fourth brother is so hostile to Master Li, and won't rest until he's dead, that we created this farce," Zhao Zhengyi explained, forcing a smile.

"You know this is a farce, but with so many people gathered here, it's not something you can just end with a few words. And Long Xiaoyun's actions are understandable no matter what, but what about you? Just for the sake of loyalty, you're willing to frame the current third-ranked expert on the Weapon Ranking? Do you have that kind of guts?"

"I...I admit it! I hate him too!" Zhao Zhengyi knew he couldn't hide it any longer. "I've known Li Xunhuan for over a decade, and he was extremely disrespectful to me!"

“Me too! Li Xunhuan once directly criticized and mocked me at a banquet, and I still can’t get over it even after more than ten years!” Tian Qi quickly chimed in.

"Me too!"

Gongsun Moyun nodded in agreement.

"Ridiculous!" Fang Yunhua genuinely laughed. "How could anyone be so petty as to hold a grudge over a verbal argument from over a decade ago! And how could anyone want to ensure someone's eternal infamy just because they weren't respected enough!"

"I we"

Zhao Zhengyi and his two companions looked at each other, unsure how to refute the statement. They couldn't very well admit that they were the kind of villains who caused harm, but this was the damn truth, and their initial intentions were that simple and pure!
"Stop making excuses, because there's only one truth." Fang Yunhua pushed aside Lao Li, who was standing in front of him and had been pondering something since earlier, and walked a few steps away from Zhao Zhengyi and the others.

He looked at them with a serious expression and said...

"You did all this because—you are all Plum Blossom Bandits! And there is a real leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits among you! Pushing Li Xunhuan out was just going with the flow; he has a great reputation, so he can take the blame!"

This will also help your leader completely shed this identity!

Fang Yunhua's words immediately shattered the relaxed atmosphere that had been just as people were enjoying the gossip.

The crowd below looked at Zhao Zhengyi and the others with suspicion. At that moment, Qin Xiaoyi knew it was time for him to help!

He walked forward with a pained expression, looking slightly reluctant.

"Brother, I know you. You are known for your integrity and impartiality. How could a tough guy like you hold a grudge against someone for so long because of a mere grievance from more than ten years ago?"

And this Master Tian is even more famous in the Luoyang area. Now you say that you wanted to kill Master Li just because of a quarrel. Is that reasonable?

Needless to say, Master Gongsun, a dignified master of the Cloud-Piercing Hand, would never deliberately create such a big scene for some personal grudges!
So the truth is indeed as this young master said: you are using my fourth brother's personal grudge to seek your own benefit. The key is not whether Li Xunhuan is the leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits, but that there must be a powerful figure with weight to take on this title at this time, so as to share the pressure from all sides for the real Plum Blossom Bandits.

Sigh. Now that things have come to this, stop making pointless excuses and just confess like a real man.

Brother Zhao, this is my final advice and admonition to you, as your brother, your sworn brother!

Zhao Zhengyi's face turned red with anger. This was supposed to be advice and admonition?! It was practically a death wish!

If this whole drama was just a personal feud with Li Xunhuan, even though it would ruin their reputation and force them to pay a lot of compensation, it wouldn't warrant being forcibly executed at such a righteous gathering.

But once they're labeled as "Plum Blossom Thieves," they'll literally be killed on the spot!
"you you you."

Zhao Zhengyi stammered for a long time, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute it. Should he just say that he was a petty hypocrite who held a grudge against Li Xunhuan for more than ten years because Li Xunhuan was disrespectful to him more than ten years ago and wanted to kill him?

That's the fucking truth, but saying it now feels so unreal!

Tian Qi and Gongsun Moyun, who were standing to the side, were also completely flustered. They usually considered themselves to be quite quick-witted and clever people, but now they found themselves in a trap that they could not prove themselves.

Because telling the truth sounds like a lie!
However, the explanation given by Qin Xiaoyi was surprisingly fitting!

There was no pettiness involved. They were just using Long Xiaoyun's personal grudge to frame Li Xunhuan and help the real leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits escape the increasingly fierce pursuit!
Everything makes perfect sense!

But that's not the truth at all!
"Heh~ As expected, this is my brother." Long Xiaoyun, who was already somewhat dazed from the blow, delivered a fatal blow at this moment.

His statement completely confirmed that he had been used.

He also completely separated his personal grudges from the plum blossom theft incident.

Fang Yunhua couldn't help but glance at him again. He wasn't quite sure whether Long Xiaoyun was truly mentally unstable or just pretending.

However, whether someone is truly insane or feigning madness is no longer important to a person who is destined to die.

The key now is to ensure that Long Xiaoyun, or rather Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin, are no longer tainted by the stain of the Plum Blossom Thief.

The former's mistake was limited to targeting Li Xunhuan, so the demon-slaying conference that was launched at this time was all instigated by Zhao Zhengyi and others.

In this way, Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin, who will take over Xingyun Manor later, will not be implicated in any trouble.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Fang Yunhua glanced at the three demons, who looked anxious and flustered, while out of the corner of his eye he noticed the relatively calm Yi Ku and Yu Xiao Dao Ren.

These two were indeed completely unfazed.

After all, even if this matter is forced, it cannot be included in the scope of the matter, because everyone knows that Yi Ku came to Xingyun Manor to avenge his eldest disciple. He could completely shift the blame to the Three Demons and claim that he was only temporarily deceived.

The Jade Flute Daoist appeared even later, and he came with the Nangong family. He could use a similar reason to explain his current stance.

In this demon-slaying gathering where righteous people have come together, even someone as renowned as Fang Yunhua cannot be illogically labeled as an accomplice.

Of course, this is on the premise that the clues and evidence available are limited to what is currently available.

At that moment, Tian Qi, quick-witted and resourceful, began to loudly retort.

"I admit we are villains. We targeted Li Xunhuan because we were petty and narrow-minded! The reputation we built in the martial arts world was all fake! We are three complete scoundrels!"
So you've already wronged Li Xunhuan in this way! You can't wrong the three of us without any evidence!

Is it wrong to be a villain? Is it wrong to be a scoundrel?

The only person we harmed was Li Xunhuan!
You can't accuse us of being members of the Plum Blossom Thieves organization based on some guesses!
How is your approach any different from what the three of us did before?!

Tian Qi's remarks shocked everyone. He kept calling people "petty people" and "scoundrels," which was more than just self-deprecation. Yet, the way he put it made it seem somewhat believable.

While the crowd below the stage began to discuss among themselves, Fang Yunhua remained completely unconcerned.

He was ready to launch a fatal blow, but at that moment, Li Xunhuan, who had been like a walking corpse the whole time, silently appeared beside him.

"He's talking about a personal grudge, right?"

Fang Yunhua was about to raise his right hand in a gesture, but instead touched his chin and replied.

"Yes."

"People in the martial arts world should settle their scores and grudges. Now that I've taken action, others shouldn't have anything to say."

"Of course, they all want to ruin your reputation and kill you without leaving a trace, so any revenge you take is justified."

"That's good."

Fang Yunhua and Li Xunhuan did not deliberately lower their voices, so everyone on the stage could hear them clearly, including Zhao Zhengyi and the other two!

When Li Xunhuan uttered the words "I will now make my move," they began to exert all their lightness skills to escape from the scene.

Just as the words "That's good" were spoken, two of the figures collapsed to the ground.

It was Zhao Zhengyi and Tian Qi.

One of them leaped into the air, performing a spectacular display of agility, while the other jumped off the platform, attempting to blend into the crowd and conceal himself.

But they all collapsed at almost the same time.

Two throwing knives were inserted into his neck.

Only Fang Yunhua, who had studied the Little Li Flying Dagger technique, could vaguely discern when Li Xunhuan launched the dagger, but he couldn't see its trajectory.

too fast.

It was so fast that only two white lights flashed past in front of my eyes!
"Impressive! No wonder he dares to engage in self-greening cultivation!"

Li Xunhuan, who had initially put on an air of mastery, immediately fell silent upon hearing Fang Yunhua's words.

He really didn't want to admit that he was doing some kind of bullshit cultivation, but the significant improvement in his mental strength was indeed closely related to his experiences over the past ten years.

He then took a deep breath and looked at the only survivor.

Gongsun Moyun did not choose to run away. He was the most low-key of the three demons, but at this critical moment of life and death, he made the right decision!
He took Long Xiaoyun hostage and concealed his vital parts completely behind his back.

Logically speaking, since Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan have completely broken off relations, even if Li Xunhuan were to kill his sworn brother now, no one present would say anything, since Long Xiaoyun is truly trying to kill him.

But even at this moment, Li Xunhuan still couldn't bring himself to attack him.

A soft-hearted god~
If someone were to travel through Long Xiaoyun's world, that would be incredibly awesome; he would definitely be the most loyal follower.

The real Long Xiaoyun, seeing that Li Xunhuan did not draw his sword, instead sneered.

"Are you trying to involve me in your game by not killing me?"

Li Xunhuan remained silent.

Long Xiaoyun then turned his gaze to Fang Yunhua. He felt a true sense of unfamiliarity with this man he thought he knew very well, but he had no interest in paying attention to the other party's situation at the moment.

What he cared more about was what Fang Yunhua had just said.

What does "self-cultivation" mean?

Li Xunhuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly tried to stop Fang Yunhua from continuing.

Fang Yunhua also looked at Li Xunhuan seriously and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You want to repay him for saving your life, right?"

Li Xunhuan nodded with a sorrowful expression, guessing that the other party was about to start stabbing him in the back again.

But at this moment, Fang Yunhua did not utter the sarcastic remarks he had expected.

He continued his sermon.

"Although Long Xiaoyun's scheming against you was a personal grudge, and regardless of whether he was used by Zhao Zhengyi and others to hold this demon-slaying conference, the reality is that the conference has been held, and all the prominent forces in the North have sent representatives."

Then the scope of this matter is no longer limited to just the two of you.

Therefore, if you want to let him leave, these people present will absolutely not agree.

"And how many people can your throwing knife stop?" "You have a plan?" Li Xunhuan quickly grasped the key point. Although he felt that the other party would never have any good tricks, he just wanted to have a proper settlement with Long Xiaoyun!

"Of course, in the end, letting Long Xiaoyun go directly would make these people feel like they haven't gotten their revenge. So, as long as everyone present agrees that Long Xiaoyun is actually living a very miserable life, then they won't have to bully a pitiful wretch who has nothing."

Li Xunhuan's expression changed; he understood Fang Yunhua's unspoken meaning.

It's about making yourself acknowledge that all of this is part of his spiritual practice!
He would sacrifice his reputation for this, despite Lin Shiyin recounting her personal experiences, especially the part where Li Xunhuan treated her like a human being.

This already made most of the martial arts enthusiasts in the audience quite dislike this young Li Tanhua, so even if things were bad, they wouldn't be too bad.

This shouldn't have much of an impact on Lin Shiyin, since she was already indirectly assigned to Long Xiaoyun without being treated as a human being. Now that she's been turned into a cultivation tool, it's actually a step up in her status!
"Li Xunhuan".

Li Xunhuan was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had heard Fang Yunhua call his name so seriously.

"If you want to protect Long Xiaoyun, this is the price you have to pay. Of course, you can also back down now and leave the rest to me."

Seeing that familiar smile return to Fang Yunhua's face, a chill ran through him.

He already understood what "give it to me" meant.

He then stepped forward with a somber expression.

“Long Xiaoyun, I can tell you the answer.”

This was the first time Li Xunhuan had called the other person by their name, which made Long Xiaoyun, who had been somewhat dazed, much more alert. When he looked at Li Xunhuan again, he inexplicably felt a kind of heart palpitation that made him tremble all over.

It was as if he were facing a stranger with the body of Li Xunhuan.

"Actually, your guess was half right."

Li Xunhuan took a deep breath and imitated Fang Yunhua's smile, which he thought was friendly but was actually full of malice.

As for why he chose to simulate Fang Yunhua, it's probably because in his mind, Fang Yunhua was the only person he knew who could deal the highest damage.

He knew that the more ruthless he played with Long Xiaoyun, the more likely the martial arts figures who had been invited to the demon-slaying conference would be to tacitly agree to let him leave. This could also be seen as a form of protection for Long Xiaoyun!

Forgive me, brother!

He ultimately decided to bear all of this for his good older brother who wished he would die on the spot!
Because of this unwavering belief, Li Xunhuan's mimicry acting ability temporarily soared to its peak, reaching the maximum level!

This also caused Long Xiaoyun's expression to turn somewhat frightened.

"What you mean by 'half' is..."

“That book is very interesting~” Li Xunhuan held a throwing knife in his hand. He continued to try to put himself in Fang Yunhua’s shoes and tried to imitate and innovate the tone and actions that the other party might show.

As the sharp blade gently brushed against her cheek, a faint bloodstain gradually appeared.

A drop of blood that had flowed down his face was rolled into his mouth with the tip of his bright red tongue.

As if sensing the stimulating taste of blood in his mouth, Li Xunhuan's smile was filled with an increasingly immersive sense of pleasure.

At this moment, Fang Yunhua was completely dumbfounded.

Is this Li Xunhuan?

The crowd below the stage fell silent. Even Gongsun Moyun, who was holding Long Xiaoyun hostage, couldn't help but shudder. This limited-edition pleasure-inducing version of Li Xunhuan looked like an indescribable thing, making people's sanity drop like crazy!
Long Xiaoyun was completely stunned, but he still managed to voice his question.

"You mean that book really is about you and her?"

"No, Lin Shiyin was unaware of this, because this was originally a training exercise that belonged to me." A mocking smile appeared on Li Xunhuan's face. "Why are my throwing knives so powerful that they never miss?"

The reason is that my mental strength is so strong that no one can match me in this aspect!
Unfortunately, the process of cultivating mental strength is not as convenient as internal energy cultivation techniques. There isn't even a single manual on mental cultivation, so I had to figure it out myself, and then you appeared.

Long Xiaoyun's pupils widened in shock. He had already vaguely guessed the method of cultivation. In fact, it was simply a matter of replicating the steps in that book that allowed his little brother to recover. That was the training method the other party was trying to demonstrate!

"You, me, and her."

"That's right. Whether it's you or her, you're just a tool for my cultivation. I do love her, and I do respect you, my elder brother, to the extreme. But it's precisely because of love and respect that this pain helps me become stronger!"

Long Xiaoyun was completely dumbfounded, and his face showed an expression of being completely played.

"Does that mean my plot against you was also part of your cultivation process?!"

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly, everything was understood without words.

Everyone present gasped in shock!
Hissssssss~
At this moment, even Ding Baiyun, who had been staring at Fang Yunhua, looked at the figure standing in the center.

Despite being dressed warmly, she felt a chill creep through her entire body.

"Is what Big Brother said true?"

"I don't know." Ding Chengfeng genuinely couldn't discern the truth.

But now it seems that the truth is very likely, after all, no fool would give away everything, including his fiancée and family business, just because of a mere life-saving favor.

This is highly abnormal.

Not to mention that Li Xunhuan came from a prominent family and received formal family education from a young age, making his act of sending his family away from their territory all the more bizarre.

If everything is part of Li Xunhuan's cultivation journey, then that makes sense!

After all, there are plenty of people in this world who go crazy or insane because of martial arts training, and some martial arts fanatics even kill their entire families to sever worldly ties. Compared to that, Li Xunhuan, who was just playing a game, is undoubtedly just a typical example of someone who is crazy.

Of course, when comparing mental illnesses, even those that are not so mentally ill are still mental illnesses that people keep their distance from.

"I am very grateful for your betrayal, but of course I am also in great pain."

Li Xunhuan raised his head, and at this moment he fully unleashed his spiritual power. The chilling aura emanating from his blade made everyone present realize just how terrifying this third-ranked expert on the Weapon Ranking truly was!

What's even more bizarre is that several of the skilled fighters sensed a profound sense of love and compassion within the swordplay.

Is it normal for such a twisted person to have such a great love?

"Great kindness is without ruthlessness. Your spiritual realm has transcended the mortal world. I, Fang Yunhua, am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest!"

At this moment, Fang Yunhua's timely reply immediately eased the furrowed brows of those experts who were still puzzled.

Indeed, true love is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Li Xunhuan may seem abnormal to ordinary people, but in reality, it is perfectly normal for such a genius to be misunderstood by the world. Otherwise, how would we distinguish between ordinary people and geniuses?

Li Xunhuan seemed completely oblivious to the praise, as he was completely immersed in his acting.

"Our game isn't over yet."

Long Xiaoyun trembled involuntarily.

"What do you mean!"

"It's very simple. I still have some respect for my elder brother in my heart. Before this feeling is completely worn away, it can also be regarded as the resources for my cultivation that have not yet been completely consumed. I need you to live well."

"Even if you were to take revenge on me severely, I would feel both more pain and greater joy."

"you you."

Long Xiaoyun clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a chilling killing intent. This confirmed one thing for Fang Yunhua: if he couldn't tell whether Long Xiaoyun was acting or not before...

He is now truly and deeply provoked by Li Xunhuan.

A perfect score for genuine emotion!
"You should leave now." Li Xunhuan turned around, still stroking the blood-stained throwing knife in his hand, his face showing an expression of barely suppressed pleasure.

Now, no one on or off stage is really going to pursue Long Xiaoyun's mistakes. After all, being targeted by such a freak as Li Xunhuan is already the harshest punishment for him. Moreover, everyone is a little scared of such a crazy Li Xunhuan, fearing that he might also trap them in some kind of bullshit game!
At this moment, Gongsun Moyun, who had been overlooked by everyone, was still holding his opponent hostage, but he had begun to slowly retreat step by step.

"You want to leave too?"

The voice in his ear made the other person's hand holding Long Xiaoyun tremble. He looked at Fang Yunhua, who had spoken, his eyes filled with a hysterical madness.

"If you don't let me go, I'll kill Long Xiaoyun! I'm sure this Scholar Li won't let his cultivation tools be destroyed here!"

Long Xiaoyun looked humiliated, and a trace of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered internal injuries from anger.

Fang Yunhua, however, laughed.

"You have no chance."

As he finished speaking, an extreme chill spread out from where he stood. In an instant, his powerful internal energy seeped into Gongsun Moyun's entire body through the platform beneath his feet. In particular, his right arm, which was restraining Long Xiaoyun, was covered with a thin layer of frost.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Fang Yunhua's profound internal strength, especially the representatives of the forces on the stage. Although they were not Fang Yunhua's main target, they were still slightly affected by the cold internal energy.

What they are now absolutely certain of is that if Fang Yunhua were to launch a full-scale attack, the hundred or so people on the stage would likely be slaughtered very quickly.

Even Tie Di, whose strength was among the top ten in the original weapon rankings, became more respectful in his gaze after deeply sensing Fang Yunhua's formidable power.

Let's see him off.

At first, no one knew who Fang Yunhua was talking to, but then a frozen corpse suddenly collapsed on the platform.

A throwing knife was stuck between his eyebrows.

Li Xunhuan's flying dagger.

He was still facing away, but the throwing knife he had been caressing in his hand had somehow taken Gongsun Moyun's life.

Thus, all three demons of Xingyun Manor were killed.

As for Long Xiaoyun...
Fang Yunhua and Lin Xian'er exchanged a glance, and he understood that the other party had arranged everything.

When he looked at Long Xiaoyun again, he found that the other party was still staring fiercely at Li Xunhuan's back. The other party was not thinking about Fang Yunhua's situation at all, or why it was different from his understanding.

His mind and eyes were completely filled with the name Li Xunhuan.

He then said that he would send the divorce papers to Xingyun Manor, and then turned and left without saying a word.

As he jumped off the platform, the onlookers from the martial arts world made way for him without anyone standing up to stop him. Instead, they looked at him with a hint of pity.

After all, the reality is already clear.

Long Xiaoyun believed himself to be the winner, enjoying the fruits of victory for over a decade.

But in reality, it was all just a game played by Li Xunhuan.

This was even more embarrassing and humiliating for him than when Lin Shiyin loudly revealed the truth that he was no longer capable.

After confirming that Long Xiaoyun had left safely, Li Xunhuan breathed a sigh of relief. He felt very tired and subconsciously went to walk towards his adopted son. However, Long Xiaoyun shrank back when he was patted on the head in a seemingly affectionate manner.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun was truly frightened by Li Xunhuan.

He originally thought he could easily manipulate the other party, just like his own father, and make good use of this family heirloom!

But the truth that was just revealed is too horrifying. It turns out that the other party is not some foolish, kind-hearted person at all, but rather a cunning old man who will stop at nothing to cultivate. So, can we boldly guess that after recognizing him as my godfather, I will also become his tool for cultivation?

And how will Li Xunhuan utilize him?
At this moment, figures kept appearing in Long Xiaoyun's mind.

First, there was the number one weapon on the list, the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva, who was like a ferocious beast in human form. Her fierce appearance and ruthlessness still make her tremble when she recalls her.

Then there's Shangguan Jin Hong, the second-ranked weapon on the weapon ranking list, whom I met once in Jiujiang Prefecture. His domineering figure and powerful aura, even with a mask on, couldn't be concealed, making me instinctively feel fear.

Finally, there's my uncle, whom I know best.

That bizarre monster that split into countless black tentacles in the blood-red moonlight, constantly pounding him, making it impossible for him to see its true face!

He should have thought of that sooner!

How could a powerful figure ranked third on the Weapon Ranking be a crybaby who can be easily manipulated and submit to any fate?

Li Xunhuan noticed the fear in Long Xiaoyun's eyes when she looked at him and sighed helplessly.

He reverted to his old, cowardly, and decadent self.

But the more he acts this way, the more fearful those around him become.

After all, contrast is a visually striking thing.

Around where Li Xunhuan stood, the representatives of those forces consciously made some distance and smiled ingratiatingly at him, fearing that this old man might suddenly want to play this exciting little game that had lasted for more than ten years with them.

Lin Shiyin dared to get close to the other party, and she also wanted to ask Li Xunhuan if the whole truth was as it was.

Today, Lao Lin can be called the number one reckless guy, a pure iron-headed brat.

However, Lin Xian'er stopped her in advance and persuaded her to calm down, since the scenes involving Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin had already ended.

This demon-slaying gathering should now focus on the theme of 'demon-slaying'.

But for the people in the surrounding martial arts world, they thought that everything ended with Long Xiaoyun's retreat. Although they didn't catch the 'demon', the trip was still worthwhile, and they had already enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

At that moment, Fang Yunhua spoke.

"Gentlemen, do you think the demon-slaying assembly should end here? But don't forget, I just pointed out that the true leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits is right here!"

The crowd stared blankly at the already dead Zhao Zhengyi, Gongsun Moyun, and Tian Qi, wondering if the leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits was among them.

But this death was too hasty!
However, considering that all three of them died from Li Xunhuan's flying knives, they felt that even someone as strong as the leader of the Plum Blossom Bandits could be instantly killed by Li Xunhuan, which was quite normal.

After all, this old man who loves playing games is the real devil!
Soon, some observant people noticed that Fang Yunhua's gaze was fixed on Yi Ku and Yu Xiao Dao Ren, who were trying their best to keep a low profile. This caused more and more people in the martial arts world to start taking a look at these two masters.

Feeling numb from the scrutinizing and suspicious gaze, Yi Ku had no choice but to step forward and speak.

"I came here to avenge the murder of my disciple! Although I was also involved in the plot to assassinate Master Li, I was tricked into it!"

"The revenge for killing my disciple?"

Fang Yunhua turned his head to look at Li Xunhuan, who was standing silently beside him.

Li Xunhuan has nowhere else to go but to stand with Fang Yunhua so he won't be looked down upon.

He didn't want to be like a source of pollution, with a large circle deliberately cleared out wherever he went, so he could only find a relatively comfortable spot here.

Noticing Fang Yunhua's gaze at that moment, he subconsciously spoke.

"The revenge for killing my disciple is indeed deserved—"

"No, no, no!" Yi Ku interrupted Li Xunhuan as soon as he finished speaking. "I've figured it out. My disciple probably didn't know what was important and actually offended Master Li. It's even very likely that Zhao Zhengyi and his gang tricked my disciple into going to his death."

Therefore, this hatred should be directed at Zhao Zhengyi and his group.

"Yes, it was Zhao Zhengyi, Tian Qi, and Gongsun Moyun here, but they've already been killed by Master Li, so my revenge is over."

Yi Ku deliberately avoided mentioning Long Xiaoyun, after all, the other party was Li Xunhuan's toy. If she were to reveal her intention to take revenge on Long Xiaoyun, in order to avoid the toy being destroyed and her cultivation path being hindered, it was hard to say whether this Li Xunhuan would directly stab her.

The mighty Green Demon Hand was truly terrified at this moment!

They're all fucking lunatics!

Long Xiaoyun is insane! Lin Shiyin is insane! And Li Xunhuan is the most insane of all!
