In the Heavens

After negotiating the conditions, the next step is to move. Even with great skills, living in tents and eating dry food every day is too much for a long time.

Perhaps satisfied with the performance of the Pingyang family's understanding of current affairs, Elder Wang and the others also came out to have a face-to-face meeting, but Feng Qingyang disappeared into the crowd.

If you want to live a long life in the rivers and lakes, you must always save a lot of money. Even if it is expected that the Pingyang family will not dare to play tricks, there must be precautions.

After all, it is the world of martial arts, and the entry of the brigade into Pingyang did not cause any disturbance. The only difference is probably that the guards at the gate of the city consciously set aside a passage, and no one came forward to ask for the entrance fee.

Li Mu was no stranger to these subtle changes. The rules of the world are different, so you can't copy the management of your previous life mechanically.

"Hero Zhou, where are the people from the Devil's Cult? If they come along, we'll take care of them first."

The seemingly understatement of the question fell into Zhou Wenyuan's ears like a sudden thunder. Those who should come still have to come, no matter which faction you join, you need to cast a certificate, and the Five Sacred Sword Sect is no exception.

Only with the blood of the Demon Cult on their hands can they be reassuring. Given the opportunity to test, Li Mu would naturally not let it go.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Wenyuan replied: "It's the way to go, it's just to do it now, the court..."

For general Jianghu forces, the Ming court still has a deterrent effect. Fighting in the city in broad daylight is undoubtedly a provocation to the government.

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Hero Zhou doesn't need to worry, now is the period of the war between good and evil, and the imperial court will not intervene in the grievances of the rivers and lakes.

If an official dares to protect the Demon Cult, the court will deal with it, and no hidden danger will be left. "

There are only a few schools in the rivers and lakes who are qualified to directly negotiate conditions with the imperial court, and the Huashan faction happens to be one of them. Everyone has reached a tacit agreement on related matters.

As the heir promoted by Jianzong, these secrets of the world will naturally not be concealed from Li Mu. It was precisely because he knew a lot that Li Mu dared to act at this time.

If an official wants to intervene, he will either die unexpectedly or have a "monster from the Demon Cult" come to visit. This kind of thing is done by aristocratic families, so naturally people in the world can do it too.

As long as it is not caught, the court can do nothing. Even if evidence is obtained, it was done by members of the "Evil Cult".

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. There are a few "traitors" in the sect, which is very "normal".

If you really want to talk about domineering, the Songshan faction in the original book is doing things in Fengchantai, that is the real challenge to the imperial power.

Seeing Li Mu's resolute attitude, Zhou Wenyuan knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he said bravely, "According to the information we have collected, the Demon Cult demons are right in front of Hengji Silk and Satin Village.

It was originally the property of the Hengshan Sect, but it fell into the hands of the Demon Cult three days ago. The person in charge now is Li Qingzhong, a cold-faced protector from the Demon Sect..."

Now that he decided to stand in line, Zhou Wenyuan didn't hide any more, and poured out what he knew. Including the eavesdropping by uninvited guests, nothing was kept secret.

Hearing that the person in charge was a demon guardian, Li Mu secretly sighed, and the situation became more and more complicated.

For the Pingyang Wulin, a demon guardian is a big shot, but for the Huashan faction, this is too childish.

A middle-level member of the Devil's Cult is in charge of leading people to intercept and kill the Huashan faction and the Hengshan faction, that's too contemptuous of people. Either there are still important people who have not yet shown up, or there is really a shortage of manpower, so I can't take care of this side for the time being.

...

Looking at the closed Hengji silk and satin shop, Zhou Wenyuan took the lead in kicking open the door. First of all, there is a row of corpses in the eyes of everyone, and there is a writing written in human blood on the open space next to it - "You are late!"

"Qiu Tong!"

"Zhao Chuanhe!"

...

There was a sound of exclamation, and it was obvious that the dead on the ground were members of several major martial arts families in Pingyang. You don't need to think about it, you know, this is leaking the wind, and the people in the Demon Cult are retaliating.

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, thick smoke had already risen from the east of the city. Zhou Wenyuan's face suddenly turned ashen, judging from the direction of the fire, it was his house.

The Zhou family is a big family in Pingyang, and there are hundreds of children and servants in the family. Even if there is a fire in broad daylight, it will be extinguished immediately. If there hadn't been an accident, there would definitely not be billowing smoke.

Without waiting for Zhou Wenyuan to say anything, Li Mu said decisively: "Let's go. The thick smoke has just risen, and it may be too late to rush over now."

He doesn't care about the life and death of the Zhou family, but even if an accident happens, the whole army cannot be wiped out at this time.

Otherwise, if they scare away the remaining few families, without the cooperation of these gangsters, where can they go to find people from the Hengshan faction?

Deep down in his heart, Li Mu had deep doubts about Huashan's ability to select allies. In view of the location of the Hengshan School's cheating father, coupled with the current unreliable performance, it is simply a miracle that they can persist until the end of the plot.

They are all martial arts masters, so the distance of a few miles is naturally within a moment. There are still sporadic battles going on in the Zhou Mansion, but the head of the Demon Cult has disappeared.

With the joining of the crowd, the battle soon ended. It's just that the Zhou family, which was prosperous in the evening, is now left in a mess.

Ignoring the time to chat with everyone, Zhou Wenyuan has already gone to preside over the aftermath. From the wreckage all over the floor, it can be seen that the Zhou family may be seriously injured this time.

This is also the disadvantage of the martial arts family. All the military power comes from the children of the family. Once the loss is heavy, only God will know when it will recover.

Several Pingyang aristocratic families present at the scene all had bitter faces. They who are used to living a peaceful life, when have they seen such a battle.

If possible, they would like to quit immediately. It's a pity that the biggest characteristic of this world is "involuntary".

Not to mention that the Demon Church will not let them go, if they withdraw at this time, the Huashan faction will not be able to spare them. Demons can kill, and righteous swords can also drink blood.

In the original book, the Songshan faction destroyed Liu Zhengfeng's entire family, and it did not arouse everyone's resistance. Apart from the accusation of colluding with the demon sect, another reason was that all the factions did not do less to destroy the sect secretly.

In this arena, as long as there is a plausible reason, it is not an unacceptable event to destroy people.

Seeing everyone's worries, Li Mu persuaded: "You don't need to worry too much, my Five Sacred Sword Sect will not sit idly by when this kind of thing happens.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the strength of the Demon Cult is not strong, most of them are just some small fish. It was only by catching the Zhou family by surprise just now that it caused so much damage.

Even if the main force of the Devil's Cult came, they were sent for my Five Sacred Sword, and they would not easily expose their tracks.

If everyone is worried, you can gather all the children of the family. "

This is the truth, judging from the situation at the scene, it is more like a vendetta. If the Demon Cult wanted to gain prestige, ten Zhou families would not be able to stop it, and they would definitely not be anticlimactic.
