Chapter 41 To Leigong Mountain

Xia Mengying said, "Grand Advisor, should we go and support Li Po, or notify Feng Ruoxing to evacuate the Feng family?"

"It's useless!" Old Liu shook his head. "At this time, no one can stop the Lord from saving Jiang Junci. Likewise, Family Head Feng can't stop the lunatics of his family."

"Moreover, we really have to take a trip deep into the Miao region."

Old Liu said in a deep voice, "If the Reincarnation Division's scheme against the Miao region is just for the position of martial arts overlord, that's still alright. At least, they're doing it to resist the Heavenly Soul Protection Art and protect the Dao of Arts."

"But if the Reincarnation Holy Lord is an inside agent left in the human world by the Heavenly Prison Soul, then things will be terrible."

Xia Mengying exclaimed, "You mean: Zhu Zining will slaughter all the Miao region sorcerers?"

Old Liu nodded, "When the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, no one can remain untouched. Although the Miao region sorcerers don't interact with the Central Plains, they will never retreat in the face of great events."

"If Zhu Zining really intends to destroy the Miao region, then it's equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Dao of Arts."

Chen Shuyu also became anxious, "I'll ask Lord Shang to dispatch troops."

Old Liu shook his head, "No, this is a struggle between Yang Jian sorcerers; the Underworld won't interfere. Unless the Embroidered Uniform Guard breaks away from the Underworld now."

"That would be even worse."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard has intimidated the Underworld for many years and has enemies everywhere. Once they lose the protection of the Underworld, they will immediately be besieged by various ghosts and gods. In that case, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be finished as well."

Old Liu unfolded his folding fan and said, "Zhu Zining has great ability."

"She wants to fight three at once, taking on the three great diviners simultaneously?"

Chen Shuyu said in a low voice, "Perhaps the person who made the move wasn't Zhu Zining?"

Old Liu laughed, "Are you saying that the person who dares to target the three veins of diviners at the same time is the Nine-Headed Fox, Yu Qingzhu?"

Chen Shuyu said, "This is just my guess, after all…"

Old Liu sneered, "Yu Qingzhu's attitude has always been ambiguous. We can't completely believe Zhu Xiaoyu's words."

Old Liu looked at Ka Meng again and said, "I want to know, are the black-clothed maids you brought really from the Misty Rain Pavilion?"

Ka Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know. All I know is that Zhu Zining gave me these people. She said that as long as these people are here, dealing with you will be no problem at all."

Old Liu nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, we're going to Leigong Mountain."

Just as Old Liu was about to walk out, he heard Chen Shuyu ask, "What about this Ka Meng?"

"Kill him! He's just a pawn that Zhu Zining threw out; his usefulness ends here." Old Liu walked out of the inn without even looking at him.

Old Liu knew very well that Zhu Zining was playing an open game with him.

Old Liu didn't even know the true name of this Hall Master of the Raging Fire Hall, but he didn't need to know, because this person was a piece Zhu Zining had started with, and a piece that Zhu Zining had given to him.

Xia Mengying and Su Su were both stunned; they didn't expect Old Liu to kill Ka Meng.

Chen Shuyu's Snake Bone Whip pierced Ka Meng's heart in an instant. Chen Shuyu shook her wrist gently, and Ka Meng's heart shattered on the spot, his corpse lying on the ground.

Chen Shuyu retracted her blood-stained weapon and said, "The martial world is not a place to be kind."

Xia Mengying couldn't help but frown slightly when she looked at the corpse on the ground. However, she knew that even more intense bloodshed awaited them outside the inn.

As Old Liu led the men and horses of Liangjie Tang towards Leigong Mountain…

I also climbed an unknown mountain peak. From there, I could see a mass of dark clouds wrapped in lightning in the direction I was facing, moving closer to me.

A storm was about to sweep through the mountains.

I frowned and said, "It's going to rain! We're heading towards the dark clouds!"

I raised my hand and pointed forward, "From here, about three *li* away should be the place where they want to lure us."

Cang Tianji counted on his fingers and said, "The rain will arrive in two hours at most. The terrain ahead is too low. Once the rain comes, that place will probably become a swamp."

"Li Po, I don't quite understand. We're clearly tracking Jiang Junci, so why are you chasing after Ka Mengna?"

I laughed, "That Ka Mengna is with Jiang Junci."

"Even if I know it's a trap, I still have to go there."

While we were talking, we had already walked down the mountain path. Before long, I saw a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.

According to the saying in the Northeast sorcerer world, you can't approach houses in the mountains casually, let alone go inside and live there.

Before figuring out what that place is, you should rather find a cave to spend the night in, and walk around the house.

Houses built in the deep mountains and old forests are either inhabited by immortals or ghosts.

If people go in, nine out of ten won't come out.

When I got closer, I saw that the thatched hut had actually collapsed on one side, and I could see the things inside from the outside.

Inside the house, besides pots and pans, were piles of things covered with weeds.

In the very center of the house, on the bed made of grass, lay a person wrapped in black cloth.

If it weren't for the black cloth rising and falling with the person's breathing, anyone would have thought it was a corpse.

As I tentatively took a step forward, a piercing ring suddenly came from the side of the house.
