With a sword drawn, he laughs proudly, his martial prowess dominating the heavens!

Chapter 130 Who would want to become sworn brothers with you?!

Deep in the canyon, at the eastern end, stands a large, connected mansion.

Normally used to entertain guests, it is now guarded by several Miao women. The Huashan group has been staying here for several days.

"Uncle Yue, don't worry." Qu Feiyan leaned closer and whispered on tiptoe, "I'll tell you a secret, I left a mark on the road. Brother Li is so smart, he'll definitely be able to find it."

Old Yue forced a smile, but said nothing more.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the little girl turned around and went to talk to her two older sisters.

Liang Fa and his disciples stood listlessly in the outer room. Lin Pingzhi tried to practice his skills by doing a horse stance, but he could not manage it several times and became somewhat dejected.

"Senior brother, the Blue Sect Leader has only imprisoned us, without cutting off our food rations or using torture instruments, but we don't know what that means."

Old Yue shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that Che'er and Chong'er will come recklessly. Who knows, that witch might be using us as bait to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

In this way, Mount Hua is in grave danger.

"Alas, this is my fault. Our Mount Hua has made a great spectacle, but we've also offended many people. On our journey west, I, your brother, have been careless. Yue Buqun has failed the founder of Mount Hua!"

"Senior brother." Ning Zhongze patted Old Yue's shoulder, but didn't know how to comfort him.

"I only hope that Che'er will protect the legacy of Huashan and not risk his life to save us!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Huh? Senior Brother? Senior Brother!"

"Ah? Senior Brother is here? Oh, and Brother Linghu is here too!"

"Master and Mistress, our eldest brother and the others are here to save us!"

Old Yue's expression tightened, and he hurriedly looked out the window. He saw two men following behind Lan Fenghuang, namely Li Che and Linghu Chong.

"Who sent you here! Traitors!" Old Yue was furious.

Upon hearing this, Li Che turned around, knelt down with a thud, and said shamefully, "Master and Mistress, please wait a moment. After this matter is resolved, I will apologize in person!"

"Sect Leader Lan, I, Yue, am the true leader of Mount Hua. Let my disciple leave, and I will take full responsibility for everything!"

Lan Fenghuang chuckled, "Sect Leader Yue, you flatter me. I'll just chat with the young prince for a bit, and you and your master will be reunited soon."

She then turned to look at Li Che, who had already stood up, and said, "Oops, I accidentally revealed my identity. Why didn't you take me hostage, Little Prince?"

Hearing a long sigh from inside the house, Li Che said indifferently, "Why bother with futile efforts? This vast mountain range, which others fear like a tiger, is actually the hunting ground of the Blue Sect Leader."

Why bother testing me, Master Lan? Just speak frankly.

A strange light flashed in Lan Fenghuang's eyes. "Brother, you are so clever. In that case, your junior brother Linghu should go and reunite with his master first."

But don't get any funny ideas, or you'll put your sister in a difficult position.

Li Che nodded and said, "Brother Linghu, go ahead, but don't make a move."

Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment before heading towards the main house.

Li Che's dantian trembled slightly, but he did not notice anything unusual, so he couldn't help but frown.

Once the poison enters the body, it takes time to take effect. At such close range, he was confident that he could defeat the enemy in one move, but Lan Fenghuang showed no sign of worry.

Is it because you feel you don't dare, or do you have another plan?

The wooden house in the center, even before entering, has a delicate and light fragrance that wafts into your nostrils, making you feel refreshed.

The house has two floors with a central courtyard, where sunlight streams in, making it very bright.

Further inside, one sees that the wooden railings and pillars are covered with carvings, depicting five kinds of poisonous creatures in exquisite detail and lifelike detail.

Miao women guarded each side every three to five zhang (approximately 10-15 meters).

As Li Che passed by a house, he heard a constant hissing sound coming from inside, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The large bird opened its one eye, which had been closed, and stared intently at the window. Its wings were slightly spread, as if it wanted to rush in to feed.

"Keep your birds in check. My golden thread bird is not to be trifled with. If it gets sick, I won't compensate you."

Li Che smiled and stroked the smooth little head, and the bird instantly quieted down.

Upon reaching the second-floor pavilion, one finds a low table and soft couch, with a wine pot on top.

Li Che casually sat on the couch, poured himself three cups of wine, and drank them. His water pouch was already empty, and he hadn't dared to drink any more along the way, so he was extremely thirsty.

A fleeting blush crossed Lan Fenghuang's face. "Brother, you're quite bold. Aren't you afraid the wine is poisoned?"

"If Master Lan wants to poison me, how can I possibly defend against it? Since that's the case, why worry so much?"

"But you're using A-mei's cup."

"I won't use it if it's not yours, but at least this cup should be non-toxic."

"Hehe~ Your Highness is quite cautious."

Just then, the floorboards thumped loudly, indicating that someone was in a hurry.

"Master, why didn't you say you were coming back?" Ah Yue gasped for breath, glancing warily at Li Che before standing behind Lan Fenghuang.

Li Che, seemingly oblivious, put down his wine cup and said directly, "Master Lan, please state your conditions. If it is within my power, I will certainly not refuse!"

Lan Fenghuang leaned back on the cushion opposite her, picked up another wine glass, the wine was clear and refreshing, with a rich floral fragrance.

She seemed to have a low alcohol tolerance; after only two drinks, her cheeks were flushed and she appeared languid.

Li Che was not in a hurry and waited for her to continue.

Ah Yue, standing behind him, said urgently, "Master, drink less."

Lan Fenghuang seemed not to hear, and said softly, "If Young Hero Li hadn't come, or had come ten or fifteen days later, Sect Leader Yue and the others wouldn't have been able to live."

Everyone says you're fierce, but if you lack righteousness and courage, then you're not so scary.

Ah~ I can see it now, you people from the Huashan Sect are all fearless.

They arrested the old ones, and now the young ones are here. Who knows, there might be even older ones coming up. She treated her like a good friend, but this good friend is just causing her trouble.

My secluded mountain valley cannot withstand such turmoil.

But she had already agreed to it. We Miao women are the most trustworthy. She helped me before, and this time my sister is repaying her kindness.

"Young Master Li, could you offer some advice on how to handle this matter?"

Li Che felt a slight sense of relief. Judging from the tone of her voice, Lan Fenghuang was not Ren Yingying's loyal subordinate, so there was something to talk about.

"Li is good at making friends, but he never causes trouble for his friends."

"But both sides are friends, what should A-mei do?"

"In that case, for the sake of the entire Blue Sect Leader's integrity, I, Li, will spare her life for now, and kill her after the friendship between the two of you is over."

"I, Li, personally owe Leader Lan a favor. If you ever need my help in the future, even if we are thousands of miles apart, I will come to your aid immediately. What do you say?"

Lan Fenghuang smiled slyly, "You're so fierce and cunning, you wouldn't be lying to my sister, would you?"

"I'm curious, isn't Leader Lan afraid of Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing?"

"Don't you Han people always say that the tough are afraid of those who don't value their lives? They value their lives a lot, how dare they come to this area?"

Li Che smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "This Blue Phoenix should not have taken the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. There's no chance that the pill formula came from her Five Poisons Sect."

"If Leader Lan doesn't believe me, my master can vouch for us. How about we become sworn siblings? To protect the reputation of the Five Immortals Sect, my master and the others weren't captured, but rather fell into the trap set by the Hundred Medicines Sect. Leader Lan, you've stepped in to help detoxify us."

Is this a win-win situation?

Ah Yue nodded in agreement, saying, "Master, that's a great idea!"

"What's so good about that? Who would want to become sworn brothers with you?" Lan Fenghuang was already a little drunk, but she said, "I think we should go and 'pass the three trials'."

'

"What three passes?" Li Che asked, frowning.

"No way!" Before the words were even finished, Ah Yue shouted urgently, "Leader, you are the leader! Then passing the three trials is... but..."

...It just won't work!

Lan Fenghuang retorted angrily, "Why not? He lost my little prince, what's wrong with him replacing him? All he does is call me 'Master,' it's so annoying!"

Li Che was completely confused. What was so strange about "passing three tests"? Who lost the young prince? Who should compensate him?

This Ah Yue seems to be of high status.

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Li Che coughed lightly and said, "Gentlemen, is passing three tests your sect's way of forming a sworn brotherhood?"

Li acknowledged that they addressed each other as "sister" and "brother."

"No, do you even know what 'brother' and 'sister' mean?"

Huh? They're just siblings, what could it mean? Li Che was confused.

But then Ah Yue said again, "Master, if you continue this nonsense, I'll call the clan elders!"

"You're such a weirdo, you're infuriating!"

Lan Fenghuang remained silent in a huff and drank two more cups.

Li Che felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He had thought the Five Poisons Sect was a den of dragons and tigers, and that there would be a fierce battle, but things went unexpectedly smoothly.

Suddenly, he remembered something else, "Sister, do you know about the Three Corpse Brain God Pill?"
