There was no sound from the other side of the bronze mirror, and this end also fell into deathly silence.
Not to mention Taoist Yunni and Nie Longtian, the two great masters on the Splendid List, but also the masters from the six sects who followed Nie Longtian, Zhao Xuanyi was also stunned and speechless.
Who is the old demon from Montenegro?
The protector of the Sirius Dynasty, the first person in the wasteland beyond the Great Wall, the second on the Splendid List, the second in the world, the master of the Seven Kills Palace!
This is the unparalleled overlord who truly stands at the top!
Even in the decades since Zhang Xuanba's rise, his reputation has not diminished. In the eyes of countless martial arts practitioners, he is the real number one in the world!
Such a person actually...
"How can this be……"
On the other side of the bronze mirror, people were still giving brief and concise reports, but Nie Longtian and Taoist Yun Ni were both a little distracted.
Not many people in the world have seen the old demon from Black Mountain, and neither of them have, but they have paid homage to Zhang Xuanba, the King of Zhao in the West Mansion.
He is deeply aware of the terror of those who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.
In terms of pure martial arts, the old demon of Black Mountain may not be as good as Prince Zhao, but the former is still at the highest level and has already passed the four steps of becoming an immortal.
The pinnacle of martial arts who is also one of the top ten in the extreme realm!
Taoist Yunni suppressed the tremors in his heart and asked in a deep voice:
"Where is he now?"
"he……"
The person on the other end of the bronze mirror was speechless and hesitant:
"No, no spies dare to follow him, and no one dares to go after paying a lot of money. So, where is he at this time?
Nothing, no one knows..."
Pa da~
Putting away the circular light mirror, Nie Longtian frowned and looked at Taoist Yunni with a solemn expression:
"There are still nearly eight years before the old demon makes an appointment with Zhang Xuanba. He is coming out of seclusion and coming to the Ming Dynasty. Although I don't know the reason, I am afraid that the person who comes here is not good..."
"call!"
Taoist Yunni took a deep breath and his expression became heavy:
"It would be more serious to get rid of the chores here as soon as possible and go to Linlong Road to meet Prince Zhao..."
Looking at the huge city in the distance, Nie Longtian nodded with rare seriousness:
"It needs to be resolved as soon as possible. His Majesty has urged you many times, so it's hard to turn a blind eye..."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, and both saw the shadow and hesitation flashing in the other's eyes.
'It's just that with this old Taoist dying, fighting him to the death is not a good deal...'
…
…
"grown ups……"
Li Baihu walked slowly on the street, and the few elite guards behind him looked nervous.
"You don't have to wait for me, go on your own!"
Li Baihu glanced at a few people indifferently and gave the order without any doubt:
"Since Wang Muzhi has agreed, he will not regret it. There will be no setbacks in his trip to Kyoto..."
"Li Tou..."
Several people tried to persuade him several times, but they couldn't resist. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and leave. Only one of them refused to leave and followed silently behind him.
Northwest City is located on a plain, next to the river, and the hundreds of miles to the north are all farmland.
Last year's winter was so long that it passed the best sowing period. Even though it's summer now, there are still a large number of farmers busy outside the city.
Li Baihu, who was alone, took off his conspicuous flying fish suit, changed into casual clothes, and walked on the path in the field.
As far as he could see, there were busy farmers on the farmland. Many of them were in ragged clothes, but their spirits were much better than those he had seen on the road.
only……
"Fellow, I remember, this is the Northwest City, but why is the 'Yang' flag hanging on top of the city?"
Not far away, there were many farmers drinking tea and taking a rest. Li Baihu stopped and asked.
"The old man is from out of town?"
The speaker was a shirtless middle-aged man with a smile on his dark face:
"No wonder you don't know, ours is naturally the Northwest City, and as for the Yang-character flag on top of the city, it's naturally because the owner has changed!"
"Is it worth being happy to have changed the master?"
Seeing the smile on his face, the young man's face turned gloomy.
"Mystery!"
Li Baihu glanced at his disciples.
"Of course I'm happy! The Zhang family bullied men and women, and allowed their slaves to bully us. They fell. Don't they deserve to be happy?"
The man took a gulp of water.
"Is it just a small favor?"
Yun Xuanji still couldn't help it.
"What's wrong with Xiao En Xiao Hui?"
Hearing this, the nearby farmers were not happy. They looked at the two people with unkind eyes:
"This is just a small favor, but the old Zhang family didn't give it to us! We pay the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes over and over again every year, but they still help those beasts to bully us!"
"That's right! We all suffered a disaster last year. Those beasts took the opportunity to take away all our land and forced many people to sell their sons and daughters!"
"Master Yang harvested the land, but he also distributed the grain, and returned the land to us for planting. Doesn't this make us grateful?"
…
All the farmers were talking at once, and Yun Xuanji was blushing when he spoke bluntly. How could he have told so many people before?
"He took your land and rented it to you for farming?"
Li Baihu noticed something keenly and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
"Yes! Mr. Yang said that we still plant the land, but he holds the land deed, so those beasts can't take away our land!"
Several farmers were talking.
Li Baihu frowned, but he didn't ask any more questions and headed towards the city.
Yun Xuanji followed closely behind and couldn't help snorting:
"Then Yang Yu has a good plan! He is afraid that those people will snatch the farmers' land, so he will take it all away himself? This is simply ridiculous!"
He was a little frustrated. These farmers were too busy with the lake.
"Shut up if you can, then follow. If you can't, get out!"
Li Baihu glanced at him coldly.
Yun Xuanji immediately didn't dare to say anything.
Li Baihu didn't walk very fast. Firstly, he wanted to see if the two people behind him were really afraid to come. Secondly, he also wanted to get to know the 'old subordinate'.
But after all, he was a great master with many years of experience. After a while, he entered the city.
Compared with the outside of the city, the city is even more lively. The wide streets are busy with traffic, and the stalls on both sides can't be seen at a glance.
The noisy popularity made the two people's expressions change involuntarily after seeing the tragic situation along the northwest road.
"Sir, then Yang Prison..."
Yun Xuanji's words were interrupted before he left his mouth:
"Shut up!"
Li Baihu slowly turned around. Not far from the city wall, under a tall old tree, there was a young man in mysterious clothes, not tall, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Yang Prison."
Li Baihu spoke indifferently.
Under the old tree, Yang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the voice, cupped his hands, and bowed from afar:
"Yang Yu, I have met Mr. Li!"
Yang Yu made this bow from his heart.
Although it was the first time for him to see the majestic old man in front of him, he already knew how protective he was of him.
Even, apologetic.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Baihu spoke:
"Do you know who is coming to get you?"
"Know a thing or two."
Yang Prison nodded:
"Besides you, there are also experts from the Six Doors. The two auras outside the city last night were the two on the Splendid List?
One has an ethereal aura and seems to be Taoist Yunni, and the other is overbearing and domineering, is he Nie Longtian?"
"You are very courageous..."
Seeing that his expression was as usual, Li Baihu had no expression on his face.
"So what if it's not big? Are you going to be captured without a fight, or are you going to be scared to death?"
Yang Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously.
He extended his hand to invite him, and behind him were the food and wine prepared.
"I won't drink your wine."
Li Baihu waved his hand and refused, staring at Yang Yu with cold eyes:
"There is someone else who came to get you this time. I am here just to ask you a question."
"Um?"
Yang Yu was slightly startled, then bowed:
"Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know."
"You are a member of the Royal Guards, and His Majesty personally came out to recruit you that day. Why did you refuse? Don't say that you are too tough to kneel down."
Li Baihu looked indifferent.
"Just this?"
Yang Yu raised his eyebrows and answered without even thinking:
"Because I realized at that time that the person's temperament didn't match mine and he would fall out sooner or later. In this case, why didn't I save some face for myself?"
"It's easy to kneel down, but it's so difficult to stand up again..."
Hearing this, Li Baihu was slightly silent. After a moment, he said again:
"It's too late for you to regret it now! With my dignity, I may be able to save your life in the hands of those two..."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it's too late."
Yang Yu patted the long knife on his waist and said calmly and calmly:
"Afraid of putting you in trouble, just now, when you were out questioning the farmers, I used this knife to kill Zhang Xuan...
With one knife, he was chopped into pieces!"
fierce!
overbearing!
No room left!
Hearing these words, Yun Xuanji's boy's hole shrank violently, and suddenly he felt the strong will of the young man in front of him who was similar to his own age.
That is, even if the south wall is ahead, I will never look back!
He leaves no escape route!
"in this way……"
Li Baihu slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes again and took a deep look at the young man in front of him:
"I see……"
After that, he turned around and left without any regrets.
Yun Xuanji, who had already brought up his true energy, couldn't help but be startled, and Yang Yu's expression also changed.
Looking at the tall and straight back, his eyes were a little complicated, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and bowed to say goodbye:
"Sir, walk slowly..."
"I hope you will never regret..."
At the other end of the long city gate, Li Baihu's sigh floated far away.
He looked into the distance, and the two breaths finally took action, but he didn't want to stay any longer.
"Yang prison..."
Listening to the farewell sounds coming from behind, Li Baihu fell into deep memories.
He was born in Limu, Wanlongdao, and was the son of a government official in a county in Qizhou. Although his family was poor when he was young, he could barely make ends meet. When he was young, a cold storm hit, both his parents died, and he was the only one left.
He was very smart and knew that he could not keep the meager wealth left by his parents, so he went to a martial arts school in the city that day and donated all his family property.
He is very talented, but practicing martial arts is never that simple.
The true inheritance of the martial arts school has always been passed down from male to female, let alone outsiders. Therefore, no matter how diligent and intelligent he is, he has only learned a little bit in the past three years.
Until one hundred households of Jinyiwei came to the door and pointed out the identity of his father Anzi, and he was lucky enough to enter Jinyiwei. But unfortunately, Jinyiwei at that time was under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it was extremely dark.
He was lucky enough to learn martial arts, but he also suffered pain that he still can't let go of.
After he became successful in martial arts, his character became cold and indifferent, and he became even more jealous of evil. He killed hundreds or thousands of households back then and fled the world after the incident.
Thirty years of exile finally ended on that day.
The prince at that time, now Emperor Qianheng, wanted to recruit him, but the years of hardship did not weaken his will. The man's kindness and power combined, but he actually had no trouble in his heart.
But he couldn't refuse.
In order to survive, he endured all the hardships, and he didn't want to die...
All the suffering seemed to disappear completely with that kneeling.
The magic secrets, elixirs and weapons, beauties, gold and silver, acres and houses, and fine wines and delicacies that were once out of reach are all within your reach.
Even, as that person reached the top, he became the commander of the Imperial Guards all over the world, with endless power and wealth.
He eliminated the imperial guards, he supervised all officials, and punished lawbreakers. He accomplished all the things that he had imagined in the past...
But he could no longer straighten his back in front of that person, even if he got the rank map called "Extremely Brutal Tiger".
This seemed to be nothing at first, until one day, he saw a person among the vast sea of files...
He was the son of a border official. Because his adoptive father disappeared, he struggled to resist the evil wolves around him...
He was luckier than himself. He learned the true story, single-handedly crushed the riots in the city, and was able to join the Imperial Guard, even if he killed the county magistrate...
At that time, he noticed this young man and paid attention to his follow-up and future.
He discovered that this son of a border official was arrogant and unruly, he hated evil as much as he hated the enemy, he was cynical, and he was ruthless.
Even like his former self, he was wanted by the court for killing an official...
He subconsciously protected and excused him, and even found that noble man to intercede, but he didn't even know that he did this because he couldn't bear to have his conscience broken.
Or is it because, looking at him, it's like seeing myself back then...
However, compared to himself, he is bolder, more unruly, and more decisive and confident.
only……
"If you kneel down, you can't stand up..."
Li Baihu closed his eyes, and only in the depths of his soul that he could see, there was a faint light, which was a ritual that he had suppressed for decades.
