The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 145
Li Mu stared at Huo Lie, without saying a word for a long time, and Bu Jingyun behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, his mind turned sharply, thinking about how to save his uncle's life.

But he thought about it, but he still couldn't think of the current situation, what he should do to save his uncle, and his heart sank.

After a while, Li Mu suddenly let out a long sigh and turned around. Bu Jingyun quickly collected his emotions and returned to his expressionless expression.

Li Mu clasped his hands behind his back, and said somewhat dispiritedly: "Forget it, let's go! I really have nothing to say to you short-sighted people, Yun'er, send them out."

"Yes." Bu Jingyun's eyes moved, his face was expressionless, he just cupped his fists and saluted, but his heart was ecstatic.

Although he couldn't figure out why Xiongba, who has always been domineering and domineering, and those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish, would let his assassin come over to assassinate him.

But it was a surprise that his uncle was able to save his life, and he didn't want to think about it so much for the time being.

Just as he walked towards Huo Lie, Huo Lie suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Li Mu in surprise, and said, "You won't kill us? What conspiracy do you have?"

"Conspiracy?" Li Mu turned around, looked at him and said with a smile, "You think too highly of yourself."

"Since the old man stepped into the rivers and lakes, he has seen the continuous disputes in the martial arts world, the killing and hunting, countless casualties, and determined to sweep the world, unify the martial arts world, and restore peace to the world."

"Your elder brother's refusal to submit to the Tianxiahui is blocking the old man's way to quell the world's disputes. He is also to blame for being killed."

"You avenge your brother, and you don't owe a word of 'righteousness'. This old man can let you go, but if there is another time, this old man will never be soft-hearted again."

"You are a small righteousness of the family, disregarding the righteousness of the world, death is not a pity."

When Li Mufu talked to Huo Lie, Bu Jingyun naturally didn't want to go forward to take them out, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

At this moment, he only hoped that his uncle would say a few words less and save his life first, but Huo Lie obviously let him down.

"Hahahaha..." Huo Lie suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes filled with sarcasm, "You have great righteousness in your heart? This is the biggest joke this old man has ever heard."

"Your righteousness is that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish? It's just to satisfy your own ambition. What kind of righteousness are you talking about?"

Huo Lie never believed that Xiong Ba would spare his life so kindly.

He firmly believes that there must be some conspiracy by Xiongba to let him go, and even this conspiracy may endanger Supreme.

When they decided to assassinate Xiongba, they had already put their life and death aside, and they didn't even think about going back alive.

So he would rather provoke Xiongba here and let him kill his father and son than let Xiongba's plot succeed.

Bu Jingyun's heart sank, he could think of what Huo Lie could think of, and he even knew Xiongba better than Huo Lie.

He was even less convinced than Huo Lie that Xiongba would really let them go.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand, what he understands is Xiongba, not Li Mu.

Li Mu's face also turned cold, he chose to let Huo Lie go, but he didn't want to add another amount of hatred with Bu Jingyun, which would be more difficult to resolve.

But if this Huo Lie has always been ignorant of good and evil and stubborn, he can't be merciful.

But he still chose to give Huo Lie another chance, because he really didn't want Bu Jingyun, the son of destiny, to go against him.

Li Mu said coldly: "You don't need to believe that this old man has righteousness in his heart, but you might as well think about it carefully with your mind blinded by hatred."

"Since the Tianxiahui has occupied half of the land of China, how many disputes and killings have erupted in the martial arts world due to sectarian differences and scrambles for fame and fortune?"

"If you succeed in assassinating the old man, the world will be torn apart and collapsed, and the major forces in the martial arts world will lose their suppression. What will be the consequences?"

Li Mu seemed to be suppressing his great anger, and said angrily: "You count on your fingers, how many people will die in the killings caused by the power struggle, and how many lives will you, Huo Lie, bear?"

Whether it was Huo Lie or Bu Jingyun, they subconsciously followed what Li Mu said.

If Xiongba dies, the world will fall into civil strife, and half of the martial arts in China will be suppressed. People with a little bit of power in their hands will want to take this opportunity to strengthen their own power and become the second world society.

In this way, there will inevitably be bloody storms in the martial arts, and I don't know how many people in the martial arts will die in the disputes.

If too many top masters die and the martial arts in the Central Plains declines, if there is an invasion by foreign tribes at that time, how can Wushuang City and the Supreme Court resist it?
Back then, there was a martial arts myth named Wuming, who blocked the invasion of Dongying Wushenjue Palace with a single sword.

But Wuming has disappeared for 20 years, maybe he is no longer alive, and then there is a danger of Shenzhou land sinking?
Thinking of this, a dense layer of sweat began to appear on Huo Lie's forehead.

Because thinking about it like this, if he really succeeds in assassinating Xiong Ba, he will become a sinner of the Central Plains martial arts through the ages.

In fact, this is really not their baseless imagination. Almost all people of insight in the world can understand this.

In the original plot, Wuming prevented the Juggernaut from killing Xiongba, and it was for this reason.

Facts have also proved that when the world loses its tyranny, it will become nothing, and it will be easily taken over by Wushenjuegong.

Even the martial arts supreme was once a prisoner, and most of the martial arts masters in the entire Shenzhou martial arts were imprisoned, including Wuming, a martial arts myth.

The land of China is almost ruled by the Dongying people.

Bu Jingyun's expression fluctuated, and he fell into a fierce battle in his heart. Just because he has a cold personality, it doesn't mean that his heart is also cold.

On the contrary, his blood is hotter than many people.

Xiongba can't die, but what about the hatred of his stepfather?
What is the meaning of filial piety if you are a son of man and not avenging your father?
But if Xiongba is killed, it will cause chaos in the world.

What is the benevolence of selfish enmity, regardless of the common people in the world, causing people to suffer misery?Where is righteousness?
At this moment, Bu Jingyun's heart was extremely complicated, and pain and struggle appeared in his eyes.

Huo Lie's face changed for a while, and finally he seemed to have lost all energy, and his shoulders collapsed.

He grabbed the long sword on the ground and got up, slumped to Xiong Domineering: "For the sake of Shenzhou Wulin, you can't die, but you have to avenge your brother."

"Then ask Lord Xiong to take off his outer robe and stab me with a few swords. The enmity between my Huo family and Lord Xiong will be wiped out from now on."

Li Mu was overjoyed, Huo Butian's younger brother personally said that the Huo family's enmity with him was wiped out, so what position does Bu Jingyun have to seek revenge from him?
Even if he can't completely let go in a short time, as long as he wins over him well in the future, he believes that Bu Jingyun's hatred for him will be resolved and he will return to his heart.

Li Mu looked at Huo Butian and said gratifiedly: "You can make such a decision, which means that you still have righteousness in your heart. If so, this leader will not hesitate to fulfill your little righteousness."

After speaking, he took off his robe and threw it at Huo Lie.

"Chichichi..."

Huo Lie used the Huo family's sword technique to chop his robe into a pile of rags.

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched, he agreed to only stab a few times, but he struck so hard, it can be seen that the hatred in Huo Lie's heart was not shallow at all.

After the outer robe turned into fine pieces of cloth and fell to the ground, Huo Lie threw down his long sword and let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Li Mu said, "Yun'er, send them out."

"Yes."

Bu Jingyun looked at Huo Lie and his son Huo Jiqian expressionlessly, stretched out his hand towards the door, and said, "You two please!"

Looking at the back of Bu Jingyun who took the father and son to the outside world, a smile flashed across Li Mu's eyes.

Without a firm stance of revenge, if you still want to kill me if I give you Kong Ci that you have been thinking about, then even if you are the child of destiny, I will never tolerate it again.

Xiongba can't kill you, but I, Li Mu, may not be able to kill you.

Son of destiny?

Hehe, it's not that he didn't kill him.

……

Outside the Tianxiahui mountain gate, Huo Lie, Huo Jiqian and his son discovered that the master of the Tianxiahui who sent them out had no intention of returning, and was still striding forward.

The father and son's heart trembled, and they looked at Bu Jingyun's back in surprise, secretly guarding in their hearts.

Bu Jingyun finally stopped after walking a certain distance from the mountain gate and out of sight of the gang members on duty at the gate.

Huo Jiqian asked fearfully: "What do you want to do? Do you want to disobey Xiongba's order and get rid of us in private?"

Bu Jingyun turned around, looked at Huo Lie's face, lost his mind again, and then bowed and said, "Bu Jingyun pays respects to uncle."

The father and son were taken aback. Huo Lie strode up to Bu Jingyun, grabbed his arms, and said excitedly, "Are you Bu Jingyun, my elder brother's stepson?"

Bu Jingyun looked at him and said, "Yes, it's just that I haven't heard my stepfather mention you before."

Huo Lie sighed and said: "Because I am the commander of the imperial guards in the supreme palace, I seldom communicate with relatives and friends. In several letters from my eldest brother, I have mentioned you to me."

"He wants me to rush back to Huojiazhuang on his fiftieth birthday, formally introduce you to meet me, and announce that you will inherit Huojiazhuang. It's a pity... I came back late."

After saying these words, Huo Lie stared at Bu Jingyun and asked, "Jingyun, why did you join the Tianxiahui?"

Huo Jiqian on the side said angrily: "Father, do you still need to ask? Of course it is because of greed for glory and wealth."

Huo Lie's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, I believe your uncle's vision is right, Jingyun is definitely not someone who is greedy for glory and wealth."

Bu Jingyun didn't even look at Huo Jiqian, but said to Huo Lie: "Xiongba doesn't know my origin, I sneaked into Tianxiahui just to find a chance to kill Xiongba and avenge my stepfather."

After saying this, he frowned and lowered his head slightly, and said, "But now..."

Huo Lie sighed, and said: "Forget it, Xiong Ba can't die, and I also said it myself, the Huo family's enmity with him will be wiped out."

"Assassinated Xiongba and narrowly escaped death, since you will occupy a high position in the world, for the sake of the Chinese martial arts, you must leave a useful body."

"Even if you have a reason to kill Xiongba in the future, you shouldn't avenge your eldest brother anymore."

Bu Jingyun, who was struggling with pain in his heart, seemed to have relieved a lot of the entanglements and struggles in his heart after hearing Huo Lie's words.

After he frowned and thought for a moment, he said to Huo Lie seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't be impulsive, I will keep an eye on Xiongba for the people of the world."

"If he really wants to quell disputes and keep the world peaceful, I will help him with all my heart. If he does something that goes against what he said, I will definitely kill him."

Huo Lie patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said: "Uncle can rest assured if you can think this way, go back, don't make Xiongba suspicious."

"Yes, nephew to send uncle respectfully."

……

The next day, Xiongba's study.

Concerned, Kong Ci followed Wen Chouchou into the study and came to Li Mu.

The leader of the gang summoned her alone, which had never happened before, and I didn't know what it would be.

Coincidentally, when Kong Ci followed Wen Chouchou, Bu Jingyun accidentally saw him, his expression moved, and he quietly followed behind the two of them.

Since Li Mu was replaced, there seemed to be many "coincidences" and "unintentional" in Tianxiahui, but no one noticed these.

"Master, Kong Ci is here."

Kong Ci knelt down on the ground, bowed his body and said, "My servant, Kong Ci, pay my respects to the Clan Master."

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Li Mu got up, came out from behind the desk, walked up to Kong Ci, and said kindly: "Kong Ci, if I remember correctly, you should be 17 years old this year, right?"

In fact, he only found out about this in the morning after looking through the list of handmaids in the Tianxiahui.

How could Xiongba pay attention to such trivial matters, so Li Mu didn't find relevant information from Xiongba's memory, so he had to look through the directory.

Seeing that Li Mu actually remembered her age, Kong Ci couldn't help feeling flattered, and said movedly: "Master, please be concerned, this servant is indeed 17 years old."

Li Mu sighed softly, and said with a lot of emotion: "Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Back then, your father and I created the Tianxiahui from scratch, and made great contributions."

"It's a pity that he died young and didn't live to this day. Back then, your father followed this old man and suffered through all kinds of hardships. It can be said that he shared hardships with this old man, but he failed to share the glory and wealth with this old man."

"This matter is a great regret in my life. In the past, the great cause of the world was still uncertain, and I couldn't pay attention to it. I will take good care of you old brothers."

"Now that the great cause has been accomplished, it's time to compensate you well, so that the old brothers will not blame the old man for not taking good care of their descendants when they are under the Nine Springs."

In fact, Kong Ci's father was just a small leader who led a dozen or so gang members back then, so he couldn't afford Li Mu's title of "old brother".

Otherwise, how could Kong Ci be just a maid?
When he said this, he was completely flattering Kong Ci, or her father.

When Kong Ci's father died while fighting for the Tianxiahui, Kong Ci was still a baby, so he didn't have any concept of his father in his memory.

But Li Mu's words really touched her, she said with red eyes: "The chief is already very kind to the servants, I believe my father will definitely smile."

Li Mu smiled and asked Kong Ci: "I remember, you should have a twin sister. Do you have any contact with each other?"

Kong Ci heard the words and said expectantly: "Yes, the servants often communicate with my sister."

"She was adopted as a foster daughter by an uncle surnamed Ding in the Hanzhong sub-altar, and her name is now Ding Ning, but that uncle Ding passed away a few years ago."

Li Mu nodded and said to Wen Chouchou: "Chouchou, transfer Ding Ning to the main altar so that their sisters can reunite."

Kong Ci was so happy that he was about to kneel down to thank him, but was supported by Li Mu, and said, "Hey, don't kneel down at will."

"From today onwards, this old man will give your sisters a special privilege. You can see me without kneeling in the future."

Kong Ci's gratitude to Li Mu was beyond words, and he choked up and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Wen Chouchou asked with a smile: "Sect Master, after the young one transfers Ding Ning to the main altar, where should she be placed?"

Li Mu pondered for a while, and said, "Let's arrange it in Tianshuangtang! Shuang'er has a gentle and generous temperament, I believe he will take good care of Ding Ning."

"As for Kong Ci, you... well, Yun'er is cold-tempered and doesn't have many friends. You grew up with him, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, and he has always been very kind to you."

"You go to Feiyuntang! The old man hopes that you can accompany Yun'er well, try to relieve him on weekdays, and don't let him be so lonely."

"As long as you can make this iceberg apprentice melt a little bit, and have more expressions on your face, I will reward you a lot, hehehe..."

Wen Chouchou also laughed along with him, and Kong Ci couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard Li Mu call Bu Jingyun "Bingshan's apprentice".

She said with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, Master, this slave will definitely take good care of Young Master Yun, and won't let him be so lonely again."

"Okay, okay, Yun'er will be entrusted to you, go!"

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After Kong Ci went out, Li Mu glanced at the left side of the gate calmly, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Then he nonchalantly ordered Wen Chouchou: "Go and call the three hall masters and all the commanders to the first floor of the world. The gang master has something important to announce."

"Yes."

……

In the first floor of the world, Li Mu was wearing a yellow robe embroidered with dragons and a brown cloak embroidered with seals, and was sitting high on the throne of the clan leader.

What he was wearing was the so-called dragon robe, which was only worn by emperors in other feudal worlds.

Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng stood in the middle of the front of the main hall, the other commanders lined up on both sides, and Duan Lang was on the left, facing Yang Zhen on the right.

This is the honor that Li Mu gave him, and none of the other commanders objected to it, because they couldn't beat Duanlang due to very practical problems.

"Subordinates refer to the leader."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Lord."

After seeing the ceremony, Li Mu opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, I have gathered everyone today, and the leader of this sect has only one thing to say."

"My Tianxiahui has always pursued the hegemonic policy of prospering those who follow me, and perishing those who oppose me. Although this move hastened the pace of Tianxiahui's conquest of martial arts, it also left many hidden dangers."

"As the saying goes, kingship is based on virtue, and hegemony is based on strength. Although a hegemony can coerce the world and make all people submit, he will ultimately convince people with strength."

"It's true that prestige can annex the world and become a great trend, but at the same time it is easy to generate a tyrannical heart, causing the world to have no relatives. Do you think so?"

As soon as Li Mu said these words, Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, Yang Zhen and other benevolent people all nodded their heads. Although Bu Jingyun had no expression on his face, he also recognized the words in his heart.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and many commanders had realized that it was time for the world to change.

Qin Shuang took the lead and said: "Master's words are very reasonable. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If we act domineeringly, it will only make the world fear us and hate us to the bone."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, so the Tianxiahui must make changes. The leader of this gang has decided to set up a new gang rule."

"From now on, the members of the Tianxiahui will not bully the people, not only not to bully, but also to take the initiative to help the world and the people."

"From the main altar down, it is necessary to set up a team dedicated to solving problems for the common people, and the branch altars in various places also need to be the masters of the local people, and punish those in the martial arts who bully the common people."

"The guild leader will arrange someone as soon as possible to set up a special hall, called 'Anmin Hall', who will be responsible for monitoring this matter."

"Once it is discovered that there is a gang that bullies the common people, or is reported, it will be severely punished."

After listening to Li Mu's words, all the people in the hall shouted in unison: "The leader of the clan is wise, with literary and martial virtues, and he will obey the heavens and rule the world."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Chou Chou, you can make some arrangements. After passing this order down, it will be written into a bulletin, and it will be announced to the world and announced to the martial arts."

Wen Chouchou clasped his fists and lowered his head, "Yes, I don't know who the gang leader plans to let be in charge of monitoring this matter?"

Li Mudao: "The leader of this gang has his own plans, you don't need to ask more questions, you will know when someone is selected."

"Yes."
