Long Sorrow Song - C48
Everyone was a gambler. As long as there were certain conditions, everyone would give it their all. A mediocre person gambles money, while an expert gambles life and death.
The high-walled mansion was empty, not even a tree. Because of the high walls, it was impossible to tell from the outside that there was a house in the house. There were two rows of houses, each with at least twenty rooms. There were three houses right in front of Liu Yiyi. The three houses in the middle appeared to be much older than the houses in the two rows on the left and right.
Just as Liu Yiyi carried Ye Chanhan into the house, she saw a group of people standing in the empty courtyard. All of them held long swords in their hands and wore azure and violet daoist robes. Liu Yiyi’s heart was wide. She could tell that these Taoists were all people from the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect’s hierarchy was very strict. Just by looking at their attire, one could tell how important they were within the sect. The Sect Leader was wearing a purple and gold robe, the second generation disciple was wearing a navy blue robe, and the third and fourth generation disciples were wearing gray robes. The purplish-green protectors and elders of the Sect followed the Sect Leader’s orders and grasped Wu Dang’s military power and legal principles, as well as the alliance and occupation of the outside world. Liu Yi Yi silently counted, feeling surprised in her heart. There were thirty-two cultivators dressed in azure and violet Daoist robes in the courtyard, and all of a sudden, the Wudang Sect had so many Protectors and Elders guarding the courtyard.
One of them, a fairly young man who looked to be in his forties, hurriedly took Ye Mo Han from Liu Yi Yi’s back and led him into a room on the left. The leader, a white-browed Daoist with a white beard said to Liu Yiyi, “Lady, we will treat your friend. We have some questions to ask you. I hope you can give us some pointers.”
“The one who lured us here was Zhao Binglong. As for what his purpose is, you all just wait for my friend to wake up and ask him.” Liu Yiyi had expected them to ask how the two of them had come, and what was their purpose in coming here, so she simply pushed everything to Ye Mo Han. This would at least ensure the safety of the sheet before he was sure that the other party had no enmity.
Outside the house, a group of vultures were eating up Zhao Binglong’s corpse. In the distance stood a man carrying a sword on his shoulder. His face was covered by a black cloth and his eyes were shining with a black light. It was so bright that it could almost cover up the stars in the sky.
An eagle flew out from the courtyard. The man with the sword on his shoulder suddenly unsheathed his sword. An extremely thin and long sword light shot towards the eagle like lightning. The dark sky was sliced open by this sword. The sword light went straight through the eagle’s body and disappeared into the night sky. As for the eagle, it flew forward as if nothing had happened, and as it flew over the man’s head, it gently descended from the sky, landing on the man’s outstretched hand.
A martial arts technique that could injure people was very terrifying. A martial arts technique that could not injure people at will, wasn’t that even more frightening? The masked man took the letter and left in a flash. If someone saw this, they would definitely think it was a ghost from the wilderness.
The morning breeze blew gently through the wilderness. There was no longer the smell of blood in the air. On the ground, there was a patch of soil that was dyed red with blood.
When Ye Mo woke up, he was in great spirits. Just a slight movement was enough to cause a heart-wrenching pain in his hands and body that were covered in herbs. Ye Wen Han forced himself to stand up, and thought back to what happened before he fainted. Pushing open the window, he saw an empty courtyard and a tall wall. Ye Mo Han smiled wryly as he entered the room.
“How did you come here?” The door was pushed open, and Ye Wen replied without turning his head.
A strange laughter sounded, “Lord Ye, I am not your little sister.”
It was He Wulan.
“Why is the Sect Leader of the Heaven’s Will Sect here?” Ye Chanhan was truly surprised to see her here.
He Wulan sighed and said, “I am still willing to accept a prodigal dog like myself, thanks to the great virtue of being the leader of a sect.”
Even though Wu Dang had expected that the Mo Clan would interfere, he did not expect that the Mo Clan’s forces would be so strong that before Wu Dang could react, they would occupy the entire exterior wall. As such, Sun Muxia decided to cancel his original plan of sending troops to support the outpost and temporarily arrange for He Wu Lan, who had secretly escaped, to stay here.
“Wu Dang secretly took you in only because he supported you in attacking the Hua Shan Sect. Sect Leader He, I am not from the Hua Shan Sect, if there is anything you need from me, feel free to say it.” The Wudang Sect secretly arranged He Wulan here. It was obvious that the Wudang Sect was secretly supporting He Wulan to attack the Hua Shan Sect.
He Wu Lan closed all the doors and windows, and whispered: “Sun Muxia wanted me to attack the Hua Shan Sect, but lost my home. Now I was going to borrow some of his men to take back my land, but he kept pushing me to hide in this damned place. “I want you to tell me what is hidden in this place. It is worth it for you to risk your life last night.”
Ye Mo Han laughed in his heart. It turned out that He Wu Lan wanted to use some of his secrets to control Sun Mu Xia and exchange them for troops to take back the fort. He then tried to probe further, “Sect Leader He, you came here earlier than me. I believe you know this even better than I do.”
“Humph!” He Wulan said bitterly. There were dozens of Taoists, each more prim than the last, and no matter what I did, they wouldn’t let me get close to the three central rooms. Lord Ye, if I hadn’t persuaded them to take you and that girl, you wouldn’t have woken up so quickly. So if you know something, I’ll have to trouble you to let me know. ”
Although He Wu Lan warned Ye Mo Han to return the favor, the threat was obvious.
Ye Chanhan was now even more certain that what Zhao Binglong said was true. If Chi Feng was really in one of the three rooms, then Ye Chonglou should know a lot about his father. And twenty-two years ago, when they were besieging his father, why didn’t the people from the Emerald Jade Pavilion help him? Also, his father had been hiding in the mountains for so many years, how did he suddenly get discovered? Had someone leaked it? Ye Mo Han’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: Someone must have leaked the secret, so his father, who was hiding in Mount Hua, was attacked. If someone really did inform on them, then the person who did should also know who it was. Perhaps it might even be Chi Feng. Thinking of this, Ye Mo felt that it was even more necessary to see Chi Feng. However, how could they meet Chi Feng in the heavily guarded residence without the permission of the guard?
He Wulan looked at Ye Mo Han thoughtfully, thinking that Ye Mo Han was thinking about how to tell her the secret here. She secretly rejoiced and did not urge him to do so. She just stood there smiling and looking at Ye Mo Han.
Ye Wen came back from his thoughts and saw He Wu Lan’s smile. He felt embarrassed and said mysteriously, “The person in there is actually one of the great devils of the Jianghu more than thirty years ago. He was secretly hidden here by Sun Muxia.”
“Thirty years ago? Great Devil? ” He Wulan was skeptical.
“Right.” “” Ye Mo Han advised. ” To use this secret to threaten Sun Muxia to attack the Mo Clan, do you think that you have a chance of winning? Taking a step back, Sect Leader He will command all the troops in the Wudang Sect. Are you confident that you can win against the Mo Clan? ”
The Mo Clan was originally a family of generals. Their methods of training their troops and arranging their troops were passed down from generation to generation, and were improved upon by the previous generations. The ordinary sects in the martial world naturally could not be compared to them. However, in this chaotic world, all sorts of forces were supporting each other. No one wanted to see one side get into a position of power, so it would take a long time for any power to unify the hegemony. On this long journey, it was very likely that he would be swallowed up like He Wulan.
He Wu Lan pondered Ye Wen Han’s words. If he could command all of Wu Dang’s troops, he might not be able to expel the Mo Clan. Moreover, Wu Dang and the barrier were very far away from each other. With his military strength and horses exhausted, the other side would just wait idly for him. How could he have any chance of winning? Thinking of this, He Wulan felt that it was hopeless to take back her homeland. Regret filled her heart; she shouldn’t have coveted the temporary benefits and lost her foundation. Thinking of this, He Wu Lan became dejected and speechless.
