The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 161 Confronting Di Shitian

"Instigate the relationship between the old man and the two apprentices, so that the world will have its own civil strife. Is this the purpose of your rushing to order the old man?"

After Li Mu slapped the horoscope, he looked at the mud bodhisattva with gloomy eyes and said.

Everyone in the hall, including the two women, Mingyue and Youruo, were all staring at the mud bodhisattva viciously at this moment, their aura was extremely cold.

At this moment, Li Mu only needs to say a word, otherwise the clay bodhisattva will be destroyed in an instant.

The mud bodhisattva's face was numb, and he knew that he would die, so he was no longer afraid.

He said calmly: "I don't intend to provoke you. Before I came here, I didn't know what kind of criticism the leader of Xiong would receive. This is indeed the fate of the leader of Xiong."

"Hehehe..."

Li Mu laughed again, and after laughing, he leaned forward slightly, and said: "This is the fate of the old man, so the two disciples of Fengyun are destined to betray the old man."

"Then you tell the old man, what is their reason for betraying the old man?"

"Could it be because the old man is too kind to them, so they don't want to make the old man too hard, so they took the position of the leader, so that the old man can enjoy leisure?"

"..."

The originally stagnant and suffocating atmosphere melted away because of Li Mu's words. Qin Shuang, Duanlang, and You Ruo couldn't help but twitch their mouths slightly.

Although Nie Feng and his wife and Bu Jingyun were a little relieved, but this matter has not been settled clearly, it is really difficult for them to smile in their hearts.

The Ni Bodhisattva was silent, Li Mu turned to look at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and asked, "Feng'er Yun'er, he can't give a reason, so tell yourself, what reason do you have to betray your teacher?"

The two subconsciously folded their fists and knelt down on one knee. Nie Feng said decisively: "Tu'er and Brother Yun have absolutely no reason to betray Master. This is clearly a conspiracy."

Mingyue also knelt down and said: "Master, Senior Brother Feng Heyun is loyal to you, you must not fall into the trap of others."

Qin Shuang, Duanlang, and You Ruo also knelt down one after another, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only kneel there silently, which was also an attitude.

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, stepped forward to help Mingyue up, and said to the others: "You all get up too."

Everyone stood up, but Li Mu's next words made them tremble again.

"It's not that you have no reason to betray your teacher."

A look of panic flashed in Bu Jingyun's eyes, could it be that his identity has been known by his master?

But Nie Feng looked at Li Mu with a clear conscience, and said, "I also ask Master to point out, what reason does this disciple have to betray?"

Li Mu jokingly pointed at the shattered horoscope, and said, "Didn't the clay bodhisattva send you the reason for betraying your teacher?"

Hearing his words, everyone's expressions changed, Nie Fengbu Jingyun gradually calmed down, and began to seriously think about the key points.

Li Mu looked at the Ni Bodhisattva again, and said, "Duanlang, what do you think I should do if I listen to the words of the Ni Bodhisattva?"

Duan Lang pondered for a while, and finally realized, without any hesitation, he said, "Naturally, we should act first."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, I will strike first, but I will never kill them directly."

"Because if you kill them without a legitimate reason, you will definitely not be able to convince the crowd, and may even cause the gang members of Shenfengtang and Feiyuntang to mutiny."

"That's why I can't kill people directly. Instead, I will use tricks to force them to defect from the Tianxiahui, and then send people to hunt them down."

"In this way, people who should never betray the old man are forced to stand up and resist."

"But judging from that comment, not only will they survive the pursuit again and again, but they will become stronger and stronger after going through life and death, until finally even the old man can't control them."

"By that time, wouldn't it be 'Feng Yun Ji will swim in shallow water'?"

After listening to Li Mu's analysis, everyone couldn't help being enlightened.

That's right, originally Fengyun had no reason to betray the guild leader, but if the guild leader really listened to this criticism and took the initiative to deal with Fengyun, wouldn't it just give them this reason?
Wen Chouchou angrily pointed at the mud bodhisattva with his feather fan and cursed: "Oh, you damn bastard, I didn't expect you to be so sinister and vicious, you are sure to die."

The mud bodhisattva clasped his fists and bowed to Li Mu sincerely, and sighed: "The leader of the Xiong Gang is indeed a man of great talent, and I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, this old man won't kill you, because the one who really has ulterior motives is not you."

"Tell me, who is the person who sent you, or...who is the person who threatened you?"

The mud bodhisattva was shocked, his eyes flickered and said: "Why did the leader of the Xiong clan say that?"

Li Mu didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Where's your little granddaughter?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, the mud bodhisattva didn't understand that Li Mu had already mastered everything.

The mud bodhisattva closed his eyes in pain, and said in a mournful voice: "You gods fight, why do you involve me and other mortals?"

Everyone in the hall also understood at this time, Qin Shuang said in surprise: "Master, you mean, there is someone else who wants to plot against my Tianxiahui?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, the Clay Bodhisattva has no reason to be an enemy of Tianxiahui. Since he did so, it must be forced."

"Those who persecute him think they know their master well. If they see the criticism, they will definitely deal with Feng'er and Yun'er. It's a pity that he didn't count. People's hearts are more unpredictable than Tianxin."

"People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Back then, as a teacher, I followed the criticism and took Feng'er and Yun'er as disciples, because the criticism was beneficial to the teacher and the world."

"But now this is obviously the criticism of letting the teacher destroy the Great Wall himself, how can the old man follow it?"

Li Mu walked to the gate of the palace, pointed to the sky and said in a concentrated voice: "I do believe in the existence of the destiny, but I believe that man can conquer the sky even more."

"When the destiny is with me, I will go with the sky, and when the destiny is not with me, I will change my fate against the sky. As long as I keep a clear mind, what can the sky do to me?"

Li Muyue spoke more passionately, and when he said the last sentence, he opened his arms wide, and a domineering aura suddenly burst out from his body.

This aura was even stronger than in Wushuang City, the wind blew up in the hall, and even Li Mu's body was filled with a reddish black aura.

At this moment, his arrogance was able to take a step further, making the invisible and intangible domineering arrogance that overwhelmed the world into a substance.

No one dared to look directly at Li Mu in this state.

Everyone in the hall involuntarily took a few steps back, and finally they all knelt down on the ground involuntarily, with their heads down, sweating profusely all over their bodies.

Wen Chouchou, who was not very skilled in martial arts, even rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground limply. He was directly frightened by this domineering aura and fainted.

Even the mud bodhisattva, who already had the will to die in his heart and had nothing to fear, knelt down on the ground with a plop, trembling all over.

Fortunately, Li Mu put away his arrogance very quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, raised their heads again, and looked at Li Mu with fanaticism.

At that moment just now, everyone couldn't feel the slightest desire to contend, and their internal strength seemed to be imprisoned in the body, unable to mobilize the slightest.

In this situation, they could only be slaughtered by Li Mu, and they couldn't even think of avoiding it.

Everyone else stood up, only the clay bodhisattva still knelt on the ground.

Li Mu said without turning his head, "Nud Bodhisattva, are you still unwilling to name the person who threatened you?"

The Ni Bodhisattva mournfully said: "I beg the Lord to save my granddaughter, and the Ni Bodhisattva is willing to work as an ox and a horse for the Master, to repay the Master's kindness."

Li Mudao: "It's better to ask yourself than to ask others. If you can help this old man catch the person who threatened you, your granddaughter will be safe and sound."

Hearing this, the mud bodhisattva got up suddenly, and said cheerfully: "The one who took my granddaughter and forced me to come to the world to give orders to the leader of the Xiong Gang is a person who wears a black ice mask and calls himself Di Shitian."

There was a clear expression on Li Mu's face. Sure enough, he guessed right before.

In fact, from the moment the clay bodhisattva appeared, he had roughly guessed this result.

Apart from that guy and Xiao Sanxiao, who else can know the fate of Xiongba so well?

The Xiaosanxiao in this world is not the Xiaosanxiao in the comics, basically there is no threat to Li Mu, and only Di Shitian can do these tricks.

Speaking of which, the source of the Clay Bodhisattva's ordering method is that guy, and it was passed down by him.

It's just that Li Mu didn't dare to make a conclusion without hearing Bodhisattva Clay himself say it, so he no longer has any doubts.

"It was him."

Qin Shuang asked, "Master knows who that person is?"

Li Mu turned around, looked at You Ruo and said, "Di Shitian is the master of Luo Xian, the lord of Luo City. I have been looking for him for so long for my master, but I never thought that he would come here by himself."

You Ruo curled her lips and said, "He actually called himself Di Shitian, why didn't he say that he is the Tathagata Buddha?"

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he said, "Although this man is chattering and crazy, but his martial arts is indeed close to supernatural. Even if you add up now, you are definitely no match for him."

"Through some clues I found for my teacher, this person secretly formed a force, a force that is more terrifying than the Tianxiahui... no, it is more terrifying than the entire Chinese martial arts combined."

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback, Bu Jingyun frowned and said in a low voice, "What does he want to do?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is a lunatic. If he wanted to rule the world, he would have done it long ago, but he didn't do it."

"Because in his eyes, everyone in the world is a plaything, and he regards himself as a god who can control the people in the world, playing and manipulating the people he likes wantonly."

"Obviously, what he's looking at this time is the teacher and the two of you."

You Ruo asked nervously: "Master, are you sure you can defeat him now?"

At present, Duanlang is the only one who knows her identity, and no one else knows, so in front of everyone, she is still called Master Li Mu.

In fact, even if she exposes her identity now, there is no problem.

Not to mention the current Tianxiahui, no one dares to be an enemy to it, even with You Ruo's own martial arts, there are not many people who can deal with her.

The reason why Li Mu has kept it a secret is to let Duanlang feel that he is different from others and is special in his mind.

This will also allow him to remain loyal and better serve himself.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "I was not sure before, but now, as a teacher, I am not afraid of him, so I just took this opportunity to meet him."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ni Bodhisattva and said, "You go, the old man will follow you secretly, and when he sees that you are not dead, he will definitely show up and ask you about the situation."

"As long as he shows up, the old man will take action to deal with him. Whether you can save your granddaughter or not depends on the luck of your grandparents."

The Ni Bodhisattva also knew that this was the only thing Li Mu could do, and it was the utmost kindness to him. If it was really impossible to save his granddaughter, it was destiny.

He kowtowed to Li Mu again, then got up and left.

Duan Lang took a step forward and said, "Guard Master, do you really want to deal with Di Shitian alone? Why don't we follow?"

Li Mu walked back in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said to the crowd: "In front of Di Shitian, you have no chance of winning, and you will let the old man fight the mouse."

"I'm following alone, and I'm sure that Di Shitian won't notice, but if you follow, there's a high possibility that you will startle the snake."

Everyone was speechless, even Li Mu was so afraid of Di Shitian, one can imagine how terrifying this person is, they are probably just a burden.

Li Mu knows the turtle's breathing technique, he can restrain his breath to the extreme, and his strong physical body is enough to exert the effect of lightness kung fu without using any internal force.

As long as he is not seen, no matter how strong Di Shitian is, he will never be able to notice Li Mu in this state.

Li Mu continued: "As for the criticism, you don't need to take it to heart. This is just Di Shitian's conspiracy. If we have a rift because of this, we have really fallen into his scheme."

Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "Master (leader) is wise."

……

But the mud bodhisattva walked out of the gate of the Tianxiahui, looked around blankly, and then went down the mountain path in a daze.

Just when he descended to Tianshan Mountain and was still a few miles away from Tianyin City, at some point, a figure suddenly appeared on a tree beside the official road.

The figure appeared very abruptly, as if it appeared out of thin air.

The reason for saying "as if" is because he didn't really appear out of thin air.

It's like, your eyes are scanning left and right, and when you look there, there's no one there.

When you glance over, to the other side, and then back again, that person is there.

When the mud bodhisattva saw that person, he immediately became excited, strode forward, and shouted: "I have done what you asked me to do. Give me back my granddaughter."

Dressed in a black robe, with loose long hair and a black ice mask on his face, who is it but Di Shitian?

When he saw the mud bodhisattva's reaction, he just tilted his head and said in a strange tone: "Follow me."

After speaking, he floated lightly to the depths of the forest, and the Ni Bodhisattva hurriedly ran to keep up.

Di Shitian's figure looked as light as nothing, but the speed of flying was not slow, and the mud bodhisattva tried his best to barely keep up.

Along the way, the thorns scratched his clothes and cut his skin, and he couldn't care less.

After running for an indeterminate amount of time, Ni Bodhisattva felt that his legs were filled with lead, and he was almost unable to lift up. Finally, he walked out of the dense forest and came to a relatively open area in the forest.

The mud bodhisattva heard a burst of childish sobbing, looked up, and saw his six-year-old granddaughter, who was placed on a branch at the top of a tree.

At this time, she hugged the branch tightly, not daring to move, only sobbing softly there.

And Di Shitian was under the tree at this time, jumping up and down, dancing, unable to stop for a moment, like having ADHD, he couldn't stop muttering.

Seeing the appearance of the clay bodhisattva, the little girl broke down and cried, "Grandpa, save me... woo woo woo..."

Seeing the little girl crying loudly, and her small body swaying along with the branches, the Ni Bodhisattva turned pale with fright, and shouted: "Ping'er, be good, don't move, grandpa will save you."

The youngest daughter heard that although she was still crying, she stopped moving and hugged the branch tightly again.

The mud bodhisattva shouted to Di Shitian: "Di Shitian, I have ordered Xiongba according to your request, and let my granddaughter go."

Hearing what the mud bodhisattva said, Di Shitian didn't jump up or down, but just shook his head and said, "Don't worry, tell me first, what is Xiongba's criticism?"

The mud bodhisattva said: "The dragon chant of the nine heavens is shocking, and the wind and the clouds will swim in shallow water."

Di Shitian nodded again and again, "That's right, that's exactly what it should be, then how did you explain it to him?"

The mud bodhisattva said: "Success is also a matter of chance, failure is also a matter of chance, don't force yourself, everything depends on fate."

Di Shitian asked, "What was his reaction?"

The mud bodhisattva said: "He didn't believe that his fate would be like this. He shouted that man will conquer the sky, and he also said that he would change his fate against the sky."

Di Shitian clapped his hands in satisfaction and jumped up and down, "Okay, okay, you did a good job, I will return your granddaughter to you."

After he finished speaking, he was about to jump up the tree to take the granddaughter of the Ni Bodhisattva, but he stopped suddenly and shouted repeatedly: "No, no, if that's the case, you can't be alive."

"Based on what I know about Xiongba, he will definitely kill you to silence you. Why didn't he kill you? Why did he let you leave Tianxiahui? You say, you say, why..."

At this moment, a figure flashed in mid-air, passed by the tree where the little girl was, and landed beside the clay bodhisattva in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu handed the little girl in his arms to the Ni Bodhisattva, then turned around and said to Di Shitian, "Because the old man wants to keep him to lead you out."

Di Shitian was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "What a mud bodhisattva, you dare to join forces with Xiongba to play tricks on me, wow... I'm so mad."

Li Mu sneered, tilted his head slightly and said, "Are you still leaving?"

The mud bodhisattva embraced his granddaughter, bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiong, for your kindness and virtue will be repaid in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the way he came. Seeing this, Di Shitian yelled angrily: "Stop, who told you to go? You are so brave...uh..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pressure descending on his body, making him stagnate, and even the boundless power in his body was not functioning well.

At this time, Li Mu's body was full of red and black aura, and his robe was windless and automatic, just like a demon god.

Such a domineering and majestic Li Mu made Di Shitian feel a little afraid in his heart.

After Li Mu's arrogance was greatly improved, he found that he could clearly sense the arrogance and control it.

In the past, he could only control the emission and retraction of domineering energy, but he did not distinguish between the enemy and himself, and could not fully control it. As long as he was within the range of his domineering energy, he would feel that coercion.

Now that he has gone a step further, he can already control that domineering, targeting only one person or some people, instead of letting it go in all directions.

This is like the difference between "Mie Tian Jue Di Jian [-]" and "Sentient Tian Di Jian [-]".

After a trace of fear rose in Di Shitian's heart, he immediately flew into a rage, or to be more precise, he should have become angry from embarrassment.

In his mind, he is an omnipotent and invincible god, and all mortals in the world are just ants at his mercy.

But at this moment, he was actually intimidated by an ant in his eyes. He couldn't believe it, but at the same time he was very angry.
