After negotiating the conditions, the next step is naturally to move. Even with great skills, living in tents and eating dry food every day is too much for a long time.
Perhaps satisfied with the performance of the Pingyang family's understanding of current affairs, Elder Wang and others also came out to have a face-to-face meeting, but Feng Qingyang disappeared into the crowd.
If you want to live a long life in the rivers and lakes, you must always keep an extra hand. Even if it is expected that the Pingyang family will not dare to play tricks, there must be precautions.
After all, it is the world of martial arts, and the entry of the brigade into Pingyang did not cause any disturbance. The only difference is probably that the guards at the gate of the city consciously set aside a passage, and no one came forward to ask for the entrance fee.
Li Mu is no stranger to these subtle changes. The rules of the world are different, so you can't copy the management of your previous life mechanically.
"Hero Zhou, where are the people from the Devil's Cult? If we drop by, we'll take care of them first."
Seemingly an understatement of the question, falling into Zhou Wenyuan's ears was like a sudden thunder. Those who should come still have to come, no matter which faction you join, you need to cast a certificate, and the Five Sacred Sword Sect is no exception.
Only with the blood of the Demon Cult on their hands can they be reassuring. Given the opportunity to test, Li Mu would naturally not let it go.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Wenyuan replied: "It's the way to go, it's just that we will do it now, the court"
For the general forces in the world, the Ming court still has a deterrent effect. Fighting in the city in broad daylight is undoubtedly a provocation to the government.
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Hero Zhou doesn't need to worry, now is the period of the war between good and evil, and the imperial court will not intervene in the grievances of Jianghu.
If any officials dared to protect the Demon Cult, the Court of Justice would deal with it, and no hidden dangers would be left. "
There are only a few schools in the Jianghu who are qualified to directly negotiate conditions with the imperial court, and the Huashan School happens to be one of them. Everyone has reached a tacit agreement on related matters.
As the heir promoted by Jianzong, these secrets of the rivers and lakes will naturally not be concealed from Li Mu. It was precisely because he knew a lot that Li Mu dared to act at this time.
If an official wants to intervene, either he will die unexpectedly, or there will be a "monster from the devil" come to visit. This kind of thing is done by aristocratic families, so naturally people in the world can do it too.
As long as it is not caught, the court can do nothing. Even if evidence is obtained, it was done by members of the "Evil Cult".
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There are a few "traitors" in the sect, which is "normal".
? If you really want to talk about publicity and domineering, the Songshan faction in the original book is doing things in Fengchantai, that is the real challenge to the imperial power.
Seeing Li Mu's resolute attitude, Zhou Wenyuan knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he said bravely, "According to the information we have collected, the Demon Cult demons are right in front of Hengji Silk and Satin Village.
It was originally the property of the Hengshan Sect, but it fell into the hands of the Demon Cult three days ago. The person in charge now is Li Qingzhong, a cold-faced protector from the Demon Sect"
Now that he has decided to stand in line, Zhou Wenyuan is not hiding any more, and poured out all he knows. Including the eavesdropping by uninvited guests, nothing was kept secret.
Hearing that the person in charge was a Demon Cult protector, Li Mu sighed secretly, and the situation became more and more complicated.
For the Pingyang Wulin, a demon guardian is a big shot, but for the Huashan sect, this is too childish.
It is too contemptible for a middle-level member of the Demon Cult to lead people to intercept and kill the Huashan faction and the Hengshan faction. Either there are still important people who have not yet shown up, or there is really a shortage of manpower, so I can't take care of this side for the time being
Looking at the closed Hengji silk and satin shop, Zhou Wenyuan took the lead in kicking open the door. First of all, there is a row of corpses in the eyes of everyone, and there is a writing written in human blood on the open space next to it - "You are late!"
"Qiu Tong!"
"Zhao Chuanhe!"
There were exclamations of surprise, and it was obvious that the dead on the ground were members of several major martial arts families in Pingyang. You don't need to think about it, you know, this is leaking the wind, and the people in the Demon Cult are retaliating.
Without waiting for everyone to say anything, thick smoke has already risen from the east of the city. Zhou Wenyuan's face suddenly turned ashen, judging from the direction of the fire, it was his house.
The Zhou family is a big family in Pingyang, with hundreds of children and servants in the family. Even if there is a fire in broad daylight, it will be extinguished immediately. If there hadn't been an accident, there would definitely not be billowing smoke.
Without waiting for Zhou Wenyuan to say anything, Li Mu said decisively: "Let's go. The thick smoke has just risen, and it may be too late to rush over now."
He doesn't care about the life and death of the Zhou family, but even if there is an accident, the whole army cannot be wiped out at this time.Otherwise, if they scare away the rest of the sect, without the cooperation of these local snakes, where can they go to find the Hengshan faction?
Deep down in his heart, Li Mu had deep doubts about Huashan's ability to select allies. In view of the location of the Hengshan School's cheating father, coupled with the current unreliable performance, it is simply a miracle that they can persist until the end of the plot.
They are all martial arts masters, so the distance of a few miles is naturally within a moment. There are still sporadic battles going on in the Zhou Mansion, but the head of the Demon Cult has disappeared.
With everyone joining in, the battle ended quickly. It's just that the Zhou family, which was prosperous in the evening, is now left in a mess.
Ignoring the time to greet everyone, Zhou Wenyuan has already gone to preside over the aftermath. From the wreckage all over the floor, it can be seen that the Zhou family may be seriously injured this time.
This is also the disadvantage of the martial arts family. All the military power comes from their own children. Once the loss is heavy, only God knows when it will recover.
The several Pingyang families present at the scene lived in, and all of them looked bitter. They who are used to living a peaceful life, when have they seen such a battle.
If possible, they would like to quit immediately. It's a pity that the biggest characteristic of this world is "involuntary".
Not to mention whether the Demon Society will let them go, if they withdraw at this time, the Huashan faction will not be able to spare them. Demons can kill, and righteous swords can also drink blood.
? In the original book, the Songshan faction exterminated Liu Zhengfeng's entire family, and did not arouse resistance from everyone. Apart from the accusation of colluding with the demon sect, another reason was that all factions did not do less to destroy the sect secretly.
In this arena, as long as there is a plausible reason, it is not an unacceptable event to destroy people.
Seeing everyone's worries, Li Mu persuaded: "You don't need to worry too much, my Five Sacred Sword Sect will not sit idly by when this kind of thing happens.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the strength of the Demon Cult is not strong, most of them are just some small fish. It was only by catching the Zhou family by surprise just now that it caused so much damage.
Even if the main force of the Demon Cult came, they were sent for my Five Sacred Sword, and they would not expose their tracks easily.
If everyone is worried, you can gather all the children of the family. "
This is the truth. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is more like a vendetta. If the Demon Cult wants to establish its prestige, even ten Zhou families can't stop it, and it will definitely not be anticlimactic.
