Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Liu Bai held down the hilt of the sword at his waist and leaned over to scoop up a spoonful of stream water with both hands. Suddenly, there was a sound of "rustling" grass behind him.

"who?!"

The long sword in the scabbard at his waist was unsheathed, and it drew a circle diagonally in the air. The flying fish sword technique gesture was "rising the dragon and raising the phoenix". Under the moonlight gathered by the stream, the green steel sword tip was far away. To the figure emerging through the grass.

"Brother Liu, it's us!"

Several fellow disciples wearing Feiyumen costumes came out.

Taoist Chiling from Feiyu Sect is a member of the Taoist sect. He usually dresses up as a Taoist priest, and his disciples are no exception. He is also more eye-catching among the people who enter Siding Mountain to search the mountain. When he sees the visitor, he is uniformly dressed and wearing a Taoist bun. Wearing gray robes and Shifang shoes, he is naturally a fellow sect member of Feiyu Sect.

Liu Bai quickly lowered the sword in his hand. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that two people were walking in carrying a woman.

"Who is this woman?"

As the seventh-ranked disciple of the sect master Chiling Taoist, Liu Bai frowned, naturally full of doubts, and looked at several of his fellow sect members.

"Senior Brother Seven, we were preparing to get some water to drink from the stream before. We happened to see this woman lying motionless between two rocks, so we brought her back."

The classmate who spoke was holding a strange-looking long copper box in his hand. Through the moonlight refracted by the stream, we could see the heads of alien beasts crouching at the head of the long copper box. There were also engraved clouds and thunder-like words on the copper box. texture.

"She was injured and seems to be unconscious. Senior brother, this person seems to have been sent by Magistrate Sheng. How should we deal with it?"

A junior brother holding a torch asked next to him.

"Is this someone sent by Magistrate Sheng?"

Liu Bai stared at the woman. He noticed that the woman closed her eyes and frowned, as if she was in a nightmare.

(This black iron armor... could it be the so-called Feiyun Thirteen Riders?)

Liu Bai's eyes rolled around, and suddenly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he shouted suddenly.

"Oops! Behind you - behind you..."

All the fellow disciples turned around subconsciously, and a flash of sword light flashed through them. It turned out that it was Liu Bai who suddenly drew his sword. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the most violent killing move of Feiyu Swordsmanship, "Silver Scale Dance" with all his strength. With the sway, the tip of the sword drew out streaks of silver light, piercing the throats of these fellow disciples.

"I'm sorry, junior brothers."

Liu Bai withdrew his sword and looked at the people who had been hit by the sword, holding their throats that were bleeding, with stunned expressions on their faces, and then sighed.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma, and I have no choice."

He had practiced this sword diligently for many years, but when the sword came out, there was no return. Just then, he made a decisive strike with murderous intent.

The few fellow Feiyu Sect members present were struck by swords. The wounds were so deep and the bleeding was so severe that there was absolutely no chance of treatment. Within a moment, they all fell to the ground one after another.

Liu Bai didn't want to mend his sword. He stared at the unconscious Qi Huiying, his murderous intention increased greatly, and he slowly drew out the sword in his hand.

"This woman will definitely die here today."

Just as he was about to draw his sword to kill the man, Qi Huiying's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes suddenly opened, and she kicked the ground with her right toe. The "canopy" of the torch that had just fallen to the ground flew up and almost hit Liu Bai. brow.

He turned his head and flew the torch to the stream. He held the sword in his right hand and stabbed Qi Huiying on the ground. At this moment, she found a sword from nowhere and swung it with one hand attached to the scabbard.

Her swordsmanship was obviously superior to Liu Bai's, and she was clearly at a disadvantage. Instead, she struck first and attacked first, launching several moves in a row.

The two sides went back and forth, attacking several times in a row. Liu Bai felt that he was outmatched and took several steps back to avoid the opponent's sharp sword attacks.

"You...are obviously injured, but you still have the strength to draw the sword."

He did not expect that the enemy was still so troublesome despite being deeply wounded, and the hand holding the sword was covered in cold sweat.

"I understand. It turns out that you have been pretending to sleep and are not unconscious. It's really despicable."

"mean?"

Qi Huiying stabbed her several times and stopped. A huge amount of accumulated soreness and fatigue suddenly came over her. Her hair was stuck to her forehead, and a few drops of water fell to the ground from the tip of her tall nose.

"You kill your fellow sect members for your own selfish desires, yet you have the nerve to call others despicable."

"I did kill my fellow disciples, but it was for my benefactor, not for my own selfishness. If I enter the underworld in the future, I will be cut into pieces to repay this debt."

Liu Bai took short breaths to regain his strength, and he replied quite frankly.

"I advise you not to push me with words. I will not let you leave here alive today."

"I'm afraid you can't do it."

Qi Huiying held the sword in her left hand, waved her hand and touched the scabbard. With a loud sound, the scabbard flew out of the air and fired electricity.

Liu Bai waved his sword, and the scabbard broke in mid-air. He waved the sword with his backhand, the cold light was overwhelming, and the tip of the sword suddenly turned into stars.

Qi Huiying took a step back, tripped on something under her feet and fell backwards. Liu Bai was overjoyed and stood up and stabbed her with his sword.

Who knew that at this moment, she unexpectedly rolled to the ground, Liu Bai stabbed the air with his sword, and Qi Huiying rolled to the other side and picked up a long copper box from a corpse.

"stop!"

There was a loud shout from the side, and a figure wearing Taoist robes leapt over. The figure flew in the air and threw several cold stars.

Qi Huiying thought it was a hidden weapon and hurriedly dodged backwards. After a few "dong dong" sounds, it turned out that what was thrown was a few stones, which hit the copper box and made a soft metallic sound.

"This is how the same thing?"

The Chiling Taoist who was wearing a Taoist robe was shocked. Under the moonlight, he looked down at the bloody scene by the stream. The disciple in the Taoist robe fell to the ground, with a hint of anger in his eyebrows.

"Who did this-"

"Master!"

Liu Bai quickly came over, knelt on the ground, and burst into tears.

"It was this woman who suddenly acted violently, and several junior brothers were accidentally killed by her with her sword... Junior brothers, they died miserably. Master, you have to make the decision for them!"

"Liu Bai, this is true."

Chiling Taoist was very defensive in his life. When he heard Liu Bai's words, he frowned and his heart became even more angry. With a "clang" sound, he drew out his long sword and pointed the sword's edge directly at Qi Huiying.

"No matter who you are, poor Taoist, you must give me a charter today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sparse forest with lush grass behind him suddenly lit up with flames, and a large number of figures rushed over.

"Taoist Priest, what happened?"

The big and small gangs that entered the mountain, such as the Shen Ax Gang, the Bamboo Flower Club, and the Han Yi Tang, rushed over. The torch flames flickered, reflecting the gray faces.

"Pindao also wants to know what happened?"

Taoist Chiling sneered and pointed the sword in his hand at Qi Huiying, who was kneeling on the ground.

"I remember you. You are a general or a retainer of the Sheng Prefecture. Why did you kill my Feiyu Sect disciple? If you don't give me an explanation today, you can never escape the Feiyu Sword in my hand!"

'Falled into a trap... Siding Mountain itself is a trap. Changfeng Society and Liu Bai are all pawns of the mastermind behind this conspiracy. We, the Thirteen Riders of Feiyun, and Shanda people, have all fallen. Fell into this person's plan...'

Qi Huiying frowned and fell into deep thought.

——So, who exactly could this person be?

She knew that it was useless to have insight into this conspiracy. The key was to know the true identity of the other party.

Wait, if you think about who can benefit the most from the trip to Siding Mountain, the true identity of the conspirator is about to emerge...

Her mind was active, an idea flashed in her mind, and her heart suddenly became clear.

"Master of Chiling Sect, I am the fifth seat of the Thirteen Feiyun Riders..."

Qi Huiying slowly stood up, determined to reveal the truth - at this moment, a scream came from the group of people behind Chiling Taoist, followed by a familiar roar of a beast, interrupting her if.

"Run, mandrill...that mandrill is coming!"

In the crowd, someone yelled with all his strength, and then the reminder came too late. A huge black shadow rushed towards the crowd. Wherever it passed, it was invincible, and flesh and blood flew everywhere...

…

When He Ping arrived, the bank of the stream covered with desolate grass had turned into a land of Shura filled with corpses and blood, and the ground was filled with the smell of blood.

He walked out of the sedan, glanced around, and saw Liu Bai who was only breathing.

"Well, benefactor."

Liu Bai's chest was struck by a huge force, his sternum collapsed, his broken ribs pierced his lungs, and all he spat out from his mouth was blood foam.

"...Go, go over there...the woman hasn't died yet..."

After trying his best to finish this sentence, he tilted his head, opened his eyes wide, and died.

He Ping bent down, closed Liu Bai's eyelids with his fingertips, and whispered, "Thank you very much."

With a splash, Chi Xinzi flew through the air, with a green robe as wide as the wings of a roc, and a pair of iron wings behind his back.

He slid down to the ground, glanced at Liu Bai's body, and smiled.

"Isn't this an acquaintance of yours, Junior Brother?"

"He is my dead soldier."

He Ping's tone was very calm.

"In addition to him, I have many privately trained dead men who secretly joined the Changfeng Society, Feiyumen, and various forces in Sui'an City. They are disciples, disciples, servants, gang leaders, and horsemen. Identities such as the groom are lurking among all forces. On the one hand, they provide me with various intelligences, and on the other hand, they generously sacrifice their lives for me at critical moments. That's all."

"Can these mortals help?"

Chi Xinzi was quite confused.

"Of course I mean dealing with that mandrill. You don't think that just a group of martial arts people and dead warriors like you can kill that three hundred years old mandrill with an inner elixir in his belly, right? "

"Of course it is useful."

He Ping stretched out his foot and kicked a corpse of a member of the Shen Ax Gang who had half of his body chewed off.

"Anyone who enters the Four Peaks Mountain, without exception, is likely to become the prey of the mandrill. For me, this is a benefit that can be calculated... The more people the mandrill eats, the more beneficial it is to me. .”
