Peerless Young Master

At sunset, the sky was gradually dyed with a gentle orange-red, and the afterglow filled the ancient cobblestone streets.

Li Xuan returned home in a hurry, and things turned out just as he expected.

Xiao Xuan, who was waiting anxiously, saw him coming back and immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Has the Shenlong Cult been caught?"

"no"

Li Xuan shook his head and continued, "Qingshan Wharf has been blocked by soldiers. No one and no boats are allowed to leave. Something must have happened, otherwise there wouldn't be any news at all."

"So, those people from the Shenlong Cult must have escaped."

Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Now that most of the sects were destroyed and the Shenlong Sect was exposed to the sight of the county governor and could not take care of itself, they could live in peace.

"That's right. With so much silver, the Divine Dragon Cult must have sent experts to guard it. Although the county governor is suspicious, he certainly won't trust us easily, so I guess he won't send many people.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many officers and soldiers to surround Qingshan Wharf until now, and they would have captured them all in one fell swoop."

Although Li Xuan didn't know what exactly happened, he knew that the Shenlong Cult must have run away, taking the silver with them and leaving Yunyao City by boat, otherwise there wouldn't have been no news for the entire day.

However, this is good news for him.

"So what should we do now? Should we stay out of the spotlight for a while and leave here after the storm is over?" Xiao Xuan said.

Li Xuan sighed, feeling a little bewildered.

From Qingfeng City to Black Dragon Mountain, and finally to Yunyao City, he finally settled down, but ended up encountering the Dragon Sect and was caught in the vortex.

If I leave, where can I go?

The world is so big, but he is not familiar with any of it.

"Let's stay here for now. Even if we leave, we're unfamiliar with the place. Let's ask your father later. He's been around for so many years and has seen a lot. If we leave, he'll definitely have a plan."

Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, she felt that it made sense, and then she thought of something else: "Why don't we go to the capital? I heard that Junluo City is very big, and I haven't seen it yet."

"Where do you want to go? This is not close."

Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Although the crisis is over now, I am afraid that something bad will happen again after I finally settle down.

The capital is under the emperor's feet and is heavily guarded. Those scoundrels will certainly not dare to cause trouble. We can stay away from these troubles."

The capital, this is a good choice... Li Xuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "This capital is a big place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Someone as outstanding as me will definitely be very popular with girls. Aren't you afraid that they will snatch me away?"

Xiao Xuan hugged Li Xuan, raised his head slightly, and showed a vicious expression: "You dare, you are mine, no one can take you away."

Li Xuan smiled knowingly.

"cough cough"

When a cough was heard, Xiao Xuan turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yidao. She quickly let go, lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her little hands nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, looking shy and embarrassed.

Li Xuan was very calm and said, "Boss Xiao, now that the Shenlong Sect has been exposed, the county governor will definitely investigate. I'm afraid Baimen can't protect itself. We are discussing whether to stay here or leave."

"You guys should make the decision on this matter. I'm old, so I won't get involved," Xiao Yidao said tactfully.

Li Xuan was silent for a moment. "We thought about it. The capital is under the emperor's feet. The laws are strict and the defenses are tight. We want to live a peaceful life in the capital."

"Junluo City is indeed great, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. If you want to go, go ahead. Don't worry about me."

Xiao Yidao also felt that the capital was quite good and suitable for living a stable life. Then he changed the subject: "But before you leave, there is one more thing to do."

"I'm old, and I don't know how many years I have left to live. I once promised Ah Xuan that I would take good care of Xuan'er. Now that you two are together, get married and leave, it will also be Ah Xuan's wish."

As he spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in Xiao Yidao's eyes: "I don't know when I can come back after this trip."

When she heard about getting married, Xiao Xuan's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She looked up at her father in surprise, then quickly shifted her gaze to Li Xuan, her eyes flashing with both shyness and anticipation.

Li Xuan didn't expect this either, but since he and Xiao Xuan were already together, he should indeed give each other a status. Now that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were here, he should also give them a promise.

He said solemnly: "I leave everything to my father-in-law."

Hearing the word "father-in-law", Xiao Yidao was slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter, feeling more relaxed than ever before, with the image of a kind and gentle woman reflected in his pupils.

"Who"

Suddenly, Xiao Yidao's face changed and he shouted coldly.

I saw a beautiful figure appear on the roof, it was You Meng.

Li Xuan was stunned: "Miss Youmeng, didn't you leave and return to the capital? Why are you here?"

You Meng stood on the roof, the white scarf on her face fluttering slightly in the wind. Her eyes, like snow-capped mountains, looked at Li Xuan, a ripple appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She stood up, jumped down, and landed on the ground.

Xiao Yidao's expression was extremely solemn. Didn't this woman leave?

His sudden return made him very uneasy.

Especially now that he has lost all his martial arts skills and has become a useless person.

Li Xuan took two steps forward and said in surprise, "Miss Youmeng, you..." He paused and stopped abruptly. It seemed that the other party had just jumped down from the roof.

Even he couldn't land safely at such a high distance, so how could a weak woman like her jump down safely?

Also, Haochi Zailai has closed down, and only the three of them know about this place. How could the other party have found it?

"You were the one who rescued Lu Xiaotian," You Meng said coldly.

Li Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took a step back. Although You Meng was a little introverted before, her eyes were very calm, just like the girl next door;

But now Youmeng's eyes are so cold, like a superior who is high above everyone else.

Xiao Yidao shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? I tell you, I am here, and I will never let your conspiracy succeed even if it costs my life."

"Quack"

You Meng's face darkened slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful internal force surged out from his body, transforming into an invisible wind wave;

Xiao Yidao only felt a huge force coming, as if he was hit by a heavy object, and flew backwards several meters.

"father"

Xiao Xuan was shocked and hurried over to help him up: "Dad, are you okay?"

"Dad, it's okay." Xiao Yidao's face was pale, and there was a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

You Meng looked over and said, "It is impossible for Lu Xiaotian to kill Zhang Shun and Po Feng at Zhou Yun's hands by himself. Just as I guessed, you are now a useless person."

Li Xuan's head was buzzing and he was shocked by the scene before him. After a while, he spoke: "Youmeng, who are you?"

"My name is Youmeng, you can also call me the Holy Maiden of the Dragon Cult."

The Holy Maiden of the Dragon Cult!

boom!

When Li Xuan heard this huge news, it was like thunder exploding in his ears. He was horrified, his mouth slightly open, and he stood there like a sculpture.

Xiao Xuan was also greatly shocked. She didn't expect that the mysterious and powerful saint would be You Meng, and she had been staying by their side.

"Why do you stay with us on purpose?"

You Meng didn't speak, but looked at Li Xuan quietly. After a while, Li Xuan finally spoke: "You came back this time to avenge your dead men."

"The Sword Master's Sword Technique is with you."

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he was indeed coming for the Sword Master's sword technique.

Yes, such a treasure is coveted by the entire martial arts world.

Not to mention the saint, even if the leader came, I would still be moved.

What does it matter if some of my men die?

"It's a pity that you came here in vain. There is no more Sword Master Sword Technique in this world. I will burn it, in front of Lu Xiaotian, personally, and turn it into a pile of ashes."

"You burned it," You Meng said in a rare loss of composure.

This is the sword technique of the Sword Master, a heavenly realm technique, and a treasure of the martial arts world. Whoever obtains it will surely become a peerless master in the future, roaming the world and ruling the world at will.

Just...it burned like that.

Li Xuan was displeased: "This is an ominous thing, a disaster, because it has killed so many people and destroyed so many families; now that it has fallen into my hands, I will not let it continue to harm others."

You Meng was silent. If someone else said this, she might not believe it.

But when these words came out of Li Xuan's mouth, she couldn't help but believe it.

I can only say that it is such a pity.

There are not many heavenly realm skills in the entire martial arts world, especially the Sword Master Sword Technique, which is definitely the most powerful and hard to come by.

If you can observe it, you may gain a lot, break through the bottleneck, and become a top-grade master of the Earth Realm soon;

By then, even a master of the heavenly realm will no longer be out of reach.

When the time comes, I will be able to charge towards the palace and avenge my master.

"That day, the thing you used to rescue Lu Xiaotian was gunpowder," You Meng spoke again.

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and as expected, he was discovered.

This gunpowder is an extremely lethal weapon. If it falls into the hands of the Shenlong Cult, it will definitely be a great disaster, and the world will never have peace.

Compared with this, the Sword Master's sword techniques are nothing.

"You're seeing things. That's not gunpowder, it's just fireworks. I just added too much."

"You don't have to lie to me. Since I came back to find you, I must be sure that this thing is gunpowder." You Meng saw through Li Xuan's thoughts at a glance.

Li Xuan shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about. Now that the Sword Master's sword technique has been burned, if you want revenge, come at me. For the sake of our past friendship, can you let them go?

This matter has nothing to do with them, it’s all my idea.”

"Do not"

Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed with tears: "Youmeng, we treated you sincerely, but you turned your kindness against us. First you poisoned us, and now you want to attack us yourself. If you want to kill us, kill us together."

You Meng frowned: "I never intended to hurt you, and I gave you the antidote a long time ago, you just didn't take it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of several people flickered, and suddenly their gazes fixed, as if they remembered something.

"That Lengjia is the antidote"?

Li Xuan suddenly realized that they were in a heavy mood that day and had no appetite for the fruit. Only the one in white clothes ate it.

If that were the case, it would explain why they were poisoned but Bai Yi Piao Luo was not.

"Miss Youmeng, since you don't want to hurt us, what do you want to do when you come back this time?"

You Meng spoke slowly: "The reason I appeared here was because I followed the leader's order to help Zhang Shun. I didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to show up and want to get the Sword Master's sword technique.

I just didn't expect so many things to happen later.

Li Xuan, not only did you kill Zhang Shun, you also rescued Lu Xiaotian. The investigation of Qingshan Wharf was also your doing, right?"

Li Xuan was silent for a while, then said, "It's just to save myself."

"What a way to save yourself." You Meng chuckled, then her eyes darkened: "Li Xuan, you ruined my good deeds and killed so many believers. I give you a choice;

Either you hand over the gunpowder, and the matter ends here, and you can live here in peace without anyone bothering you;

Either you die or I will force you to tell me the formula of gunpowder before you die."

Gunpowder is a weapon that is strictly guarded by the imperial court. Once she gets it, the power of the Shenlong Cult will snowball and they will be able to declare war on the imperial court.

'Absolutely not'

"Do you want to see them die tragically in front of you?" Youmeng threatened.

Li Xuan's expression changed, his black and white eyes kept turning. He looked at Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yidao, full of guilt:

“I, Li Xuan, may not consider myself a good person, but I also have a warm heart.

If you rebels were allowed to get your hands on gunpowder, the world would be engulfed in war again. Countless families would be torn apart and countless people would die, and there would never be peace again in the world.

As for... As for them, meeting me is just bad luck for them. If there is an afterlife, I will serve them like a slave."

He looked at the two of them: "I'm sorry, I..."

Xiao Yidao said loudly: "No need to apologize. If you give her the gunpowder formula because you are afraid of death, I will look down on you. Although I, Xiao Yidao, am a man of the world, I also know that every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country."

A cold light flashed in Youmeng's eyes, and her whole body exuded a suffocating aura, which made the air in the courtyard seem thick and difficult to breathe: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the blue sky: "Who is not afraid of death?"

The next second, he seemed like a completely different person. His voice was solemn and cold, without a trace of emotion. It was as if an invisible force was slowly rising from his spine, like an extremely sharp sword:

"In this world, there are always things that are higher than life. Death is as small as dust in front of them."

You Meng fell silent, his eyes turning from fierce to panicked. He had been traveling around the world and met many important figures in the capital, but this was the first time he saw an ordinary person burst out with such powerful strength.

"I know that in your eyes, we are just a group of unforgivable traitors who deserve to be killed by anyone, but that's because you don't understand us at all.

Once you delve deeper into it, you will find that we are the ones who truly care about this country and its people.”

"What do you want to do?" Li Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"If you don't look down on us, then I will let you join us. Then you will find out how stupid your current thoughts are."

"Don't even think about it"

“You have no right to choose”

As she said that, she was about to grab Li Xuan's shoulders and take him away.

"Let him go, let him go!" Xiao Xuan rushed over regardless of everything.

However, the gap in strength between the two was too great. Xiao Xuan was repelled by You Meng's mere wave of her hand, but she did not give up and rushed forward again and again.

“You’re too weak.”

As he said that, he grabbed Li Xuan and jumped up, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Xuan fell to the ground, her hair disheveled, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. She crawled towards the direction the two had left, shouting, "Li Xuan, Li Xuan!"

"woohoo"

After a snap of her fingers, she burst into tears, her heart broken.

"Xuan'er" Xiao Yidao stood beside her, his eyes red, his lips trembling, not knowing what to say.

"Why...why do you have to do so much to me...why"

Her pale lips trembled, pain was evident between her brows, tears could not stop flowing, and she lay on the ground, like a broken jade, desolate and fragile.

After a while, she seemed to think of something and looked at Xiao Yidao in panic: "Dad, teach me martial arts, I want to find him back"

"it is good"

"Dad will take you to where he grew up"
