The fact that Hu Xiaotian took the firearm from Lei Haoyun was always very secret, but Yanyulou came to see him for this. The only possibility is that they took Lei Haoyun in and learned the secret from Lei Haoyun. Firearms are always the core secret of Leijiabao's development of firearms, and they are of great importance. If they eventually fall into the hands of the Qinglong Society, they will definitely become a weapon for Chen Tianye's rebellion! Xiang Hu was so strong that he was seriously injured by the thunderous thunder. How could ordinary people resist?
The old man in black was stunned for a moment, and said displeasedly: "How can a bunch of miscellaneous people like the Qinglong Society be qualified to be called together with my Yanyu Tower? Don't confuse our two families! Boy, my patience It¡¯s limited, are you willing to hand over the stuff?¡±
Hu Xiaotian was secretly surprised. It turned out that his guess was wrong. Yanyu Tower and Qinglong Society were not allies, so what was the use of their attempt to seize firearms? Holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand, he said coldly: "Where is Lei Haoyun? If he dares to ask for it in person, I might consider it. As for other people, they are not qualified!"
The old man in black said angrily: "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" He suddenly floated forward and struck Hu Xiaotian directly in the face with the wind from his left palm. Almost at the same moment, the cold wind surged, and three other people attacked from different directions with weapons. They cooperated with each other and launched ruthless attacks, blocking his escape route.
This palm in front of his face was as strong as a mountain, showing that the old man in black had an unpredictable internal cultivation level. In terms of skill alone, he was not inferior to the likes of Yan Si. No wonder he still dared to say harsh words after Hu Xiaotian became famous. Moreover, the other companions who cooperated in the attack were only slightly weaker than him in martial arts, and together they were enough to challenge the best masters in the world. Although Hu Xiaotian has strong self-confidence. But he is not a conceited and arrogant person. He has clearly judged the situation in a blink of an eye. If he meets someone head-on, he will die from exhaustion just from the consumption of his skills! Since there are so many strong men in the Yanyu Tower. Why are you willing to curb your edge and withdraw from the arena of competition for hegemony? At the critical moment of life and death, he could not allow him to distract himself from exploring the secret behind it. He jumped back on his toes, swung his long sword, and as if he was desperate for his life, he fiercely slammed into the middle-aged man behind him with the sword.
when! Plop! Hu Xiaotian shook the enemy away with one strike of his sword, and the attacks continued. Falling straight into the lake. Everyone in Yanyu Tower is confused. Is this kid trying to escape by diving? The old man in black was so anxious that he shouted angrily: "Stop, don't run away!" He jumped into the air. Both palms fell from top to bottom, and the strong wind made the water surface dent slightly. Others took out concealed weapons and shot them in a swarm.
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Who said I wanted to escape!" The long sword dipped into the water and rolled up, and a transparent water dragon roared and flew up, baring its teeth and claws as if it were spiritual. Roar to the sky! Every stream of water and every drop of water contains an indescribable sword intent, intertwined into an airtight net. Crush all the incoming hidden weapons into pieces. There was a loud bang, and the fierce palm force smashed the dragon's head into pieces. Water splashed everywhere. But the next moment, the sword light shot up into the sky. It seems to be everywhere and invincible. The old man in black screamed strangely and jumped back to the shore with a somersault. Cold sweat flowed from his back. He couldn't figure out why Hu Xiaotian's martial arts soared and forced him to be in a hurry?
Hu Xiaotian said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Hu is here waiting for you all. If you have the guts, come down and decide the winner!"
Everyone in Yanyu Tower looked at each other. They were all experienced veterans. They vaguely guessed that Hu Xiaotian was good at water, so they were confident. If they entered the water to fight, they might not be able to get a good deal. But if he hesitates to move forward and allows him to shout and provoke, how can he complete the orders given by his superiors? The old man in black was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred, he waved his hand fiercely: "Up!"
"Destroy this kid!" "Kill him!" Three of the masters who were proficient in water skills shouted, and they plucked up the courage to rush forward together. They stepped heavily into the water with their feet and kicked up countless splashes, plus the dancing in their hands. The sword's cold light was as menacing as a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Hu Xiaotian moved his feet slightly and retreated to the waist-deep lake water. He slapped the water with his left palm and immediately stirred up a wall of water several feet wide. The three masters were stunned as they lost the specific position of their opponents. Some of them instinctively changed their moves to defend, while others continued to attack with all their strength. Their bodies were staggered forward and backward, leaving many flaws. Under the refracted water curtain, cold light could be seen flying across the sky, and several figures suddenly advanced and retreated. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Hu Xiaotian who was wielding his sword to attack, forcing the numerically superior opponent into a panic. When everyone in Yanyu Tower moved in the water, the resistance was extremely strong. Compared with Hu Xiaotian, their speed was as slow as a turtle crawling, and they were completely at a disadvantage. Hu Xiaotian was unyielding, relying on his fish-like agility to move his sword, injuring two people in an instant, stabbing five or six bloody holes in the opponent's body. The blood spurted out, dyeing the lake surface red.
The old man in black was angry and resentful. He obviously had an absolute advantage, but he couldn't do anything to a young boy. If the superiors knew about it, wouldn't it be a loss of face? Then he leaned over and grabbed a huge boulder, and shouted: "Death to the little thief!" He raised his arms, and the boulder flew out into the air and headed towards Hu.The sky fell on his head. The flying rocks were coming quickly and fiercely. Hu Xiaotian raised his palm and moved back and forth, then deflected them diagonally, causing the boulders to fall sideways, causing a thick water column to rise from the lake surface with a loud roar. Despite this, the influx of huge force still made Hu Xiaotian's left arm sore and numb, and his chest felt tight. The old man in black bullied him for his weak skills. He grabbed the big rocks on the shore and threw them away. Black shadows broke through the sky, water columns soared, and the lake waves continued to turmoil.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting coldly: "Mr. Yi, you are disrespectful to me!" Before he could finish his words, a big man flew towards him like a whirlwind, the light of his sword flashed, and the experts guarding the outside of Yanyu Tower screamed. Falling down, he pointed his toes and rushed towards the old man in black without stopping.
"Li Wanjie!" The old man in black gasped as if he had a toothache. He floated up, his palms overlapped, blocking the enemy's attack route, and said angrily: "What do I do in Yanyu Tower have to do with you?"
Li Wanjie said solemnly: "I owed Mr. Hu a favor in the past. I saw you using your power to bully others and not following the rules of the world. How could I stand by and watch? Yi Baifan, if you don't want to die, get out of here!" As he spoke, knives and flowers were flying like snow, surrounding them tightly. Around the opponent. Yi Baifan was inferior in nature when it came to fighting with bare hands, not to mention that Li Wanjie was a top-notch expert in the underworld and was very experienced. How can this be the kind of person who is easy to do? The two fight against each other, and the strength is judged. Yi Baifan groaned secretly, while trying his best to dodge and fight back, while issuing instructions to mobilize his subordinates to assist. It was not easy to even the situation.
Because Yi Baifan had no physical skills, the three masters of Yanyu Tower became more and more frightened as they fought. How dare they stay in the lake and wait for death, they all jumped back to the shore. Hu Xiaotian let out a clear whistle, thrust out his sword with his front and back legs and chased after him, biting his opponent tightly and not letting go. He was wondering, how could Li Wanjie appear here by chance? Could there be something big happening within the Demon Cult? Li Wanjie appears to be a loner and a master of the underworld. In fact, he is an esoteric disciple of the Demon Sect, who is responsible for collecting intelligence and transmitting information. His words and deeds can influence the decision-making level of Qianmen. However, the powerful enemy has not retreated yet. It was not convenient to greet Li Wanjie, so he had to suppress the questions in his mind for the time being and talk about it later.
The two demon sect masters joined forces and immediately completely reversed the offensive and defensive momentum. You clashed with me. The sword rose and fell, killing everyone in Yanyu Tower in mourning. Yi Baifan was angry, resentful, and helpless, and screamed: "Li Wanjie. You ruined my Yanyu Tower today, and you will be revenged in the future! You wait to die! Let's withdraw!"
Li Wanjie smiled and said: "Yi Baifan. You have been someone's lackey for so many years, but you still haven't made any progress. Do you only scare people with white teeth?" I have no intention of fighting the opponent to the end, so as not to force the dog to jump over the wall, causing damage to both sides. He let go and retreated. Hu Xiaotian also drew back with his sword, looked at Li Wanjie and nodded slightly.
Yi Baifan's face was livid, he left a few words of anger and left the scene, and led his people to fly away.
Hu Xiaotian watched everyone in Yanyu Tower leave, put his sword back into its sheath, and said, "Senior Li, we have never met in this life! In fact, you and I together can wipe out Yi Baifan and his entourage. I wonder why senior let them go?" If the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!"
Li Wanjie said: "Master Hu, this place already belongs to the sphere of influence of Yanyu Tower. It is impossible to annihilate Yi Baifan and others without anyone noticing. If those old monsters in Yanyu Tower are alerted, even I will only He can go out of the city overnight to avoid the limelight. Besides, Yanyulou and Jinyiwei have colluded, and their strength is unfathomable. There is no need to form a deadly feud with them."
Hu Xiaotian's heart moved slightly, and he frowned and said: "Yanyu Tower turned out to be a minion secretly cultivated by the imperial court. No wonder Yi wanted to seize the firearms!" Firearms are always related to the safety of the country and the country. Of course, the leader of Yanyu Tower attaches great importance to it and will definitely There is no chance that it will fall into the hands of Meng Yuan or the Qinglong Society. If it can be captured and presented to the court, it will be a great achievement. It is conceivable that after Yi Baifan and others go back to report the situation, Yanyu Tower will definitely send higher-level figures to take action, and they will not stop until the goal is achieved! Even though he didn't publicize his name when he took action that day, Yanyulou still found him accurately. Could it be that Qinglong Club couldn't guess the truth? The Qinglong Society's desire to snatch firearms is only more urgent than that of Yanyu Tower! Thinking of this, my palms started to sweat slightly.
Li Wanjie was greatly surprised when he heard this, and lost his voice: "Master Hu, the firearms stolen from Leijiabao ended up in your hands?!"
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Senior Li, this is a long story. In order to prevent the walls from hearing each other, you and I should change places and have a good chat."
Li Wanjie understood and said with a smile: "The bastards from Yanyu Tower are really annoying, let's go!"
The two of them started Qinggong and quickly left the lakeside. It was obviously not the first time for Li Wanjie to come to Xuzhou City. He led Hu Xiaotian around and around until he came to a secluded small inn. It was empty with almost no guests. The two randomly chose a table to sit down, ordered the waiters to bring the food and wine, and drank happily. Hu Xiaotian also did not deliberately hide it. He was captured by Li Xuan'er, met Yan Ao and Busha monk by chance, and later wandered to Luoyang and was involved in the turmoil of the underworld.?Then he managed to escape from prison, clashed with the Qinglong Society, obtained the firearms master, and finally rescued Dugu Yu. As for the confusing disputes between him and Li Xuan'er, Yan Jiu, and Dugu Yan, they will be ignored.
The more Li Wanjie listened, the more he admired him. He clapped his hands on the table and praised: "Young Master is so wise and brave, and blessed by heaven, that he has made great contributions to our sect. It is really the magic sect's luck! Now you have become famous in one fell swoop, defeating Jiang Mingfeng, Qin Maoyang, and Tengge in a row." Mu and Xie Junfeng are as popular as ever. If they break through to the ninth level, they will have enough strength to aspire for the throne of the leader. I am afraid that by this time, the second and third young masters have been unable to sleep at night and are tossing and turning." The voice said. After a pause, he said again: "Sir, I wonder what you plan to do with this firearm?"
Hu Xiaotian pretended not to see the ardent expectation in his eyes, and said seriously: "Of course the jade will be returned to Zhao intact, and will be sent back to the Lei family when there is a chance."
Li Wanjie saw that he was categorical, and it was useless to talk about his feelings. He shook his head and smiled: "How many people dream of treasures, but Young Master is not greedy at all, and his broad mind is extraordinary! However, both Qinglong Society and Yanyu Tower are determined to get it, and it will be even more difficult for Young Master to protect it. I heard that Fei Zhixian, the god general of the Qinglong Society, and Shang Yuzhen, the ninth-grade master of Yanyu Tower, have been around."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It doesn't matter! If the opponent is too strong, I would rather destroy it first than let it fall into someone else's hands and cause a catastrophe!" Not to mention the Shang Yuzhen and Qinglong who have never met before. The red lotus saint who met in the meeting came back in vain, and she would most likely ask Fei Zhixian to regain her place. Even though he has made many breakthroughs now, he is still no match for Fei Zhixian unless he completely breaks the Qi Lock of Hades. Only when your skill reaches the tenth level can you compete with Fei Zhixian. Unfortunately, from the current point of view, it is still far away from realizing this wish.
Li Wanjie coughed lightly and said, "Sir, it would be better to leave it to me."
Hu Xiaotian smiled casually, changed the subject and asked: "Senior Li, you always hide your hidden meanings in your actions and deeds. May I ask you why you came to Xuzhou?"
Li Wanjie sighed secretly in his heart. Following his words, he explained: "Master Haojiao knows that Li is here to participate in the secret auction event held every year to see if anyone will sell the secret treasure of our religion."
It turns out that Xuzhou is the headquarters of the two major gangs, the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang. Caobang is in the shipping business. It starts from Jinling in the south and reaches Yanjing in the north. Tens of thousands of gang members depended on the Grand Canal for their livelihood and had deep ties with the imperial court. What the Salt Gang does is private salt sales. The gangs are all desperadoes, and are jointly composed of local gangs such as Shandong Gang, Xuzhou Gang, Yangzhou Gang, Bashu Gang, etc., with influence all over the country. Unfortunately, the cohesion of the gang members is not strong, otherwise it would be enough to challenge the Qinglong Society and the Beggar Clan. The two major gangs have joined forces, and their background, strength and connections are beyond imagination. Every year, they secretly organize a "Central Plains Treasure Appraisal Conference" and invite rich people and heroes from all over the country to participate. Treasures, magical weapons, martial arts secrets, magical elixirs, etc. are displayed and auctioned, and the highest bidder wins. The Central Plains Treasure Appraisal Conference has been held for twelve consecutive years. Every year, amazing treasures appear, making it extremely attractive. Originally, participants were limited to mafia tycoons, but in recent years, white dao heroes from all over the world have also come here to attract the attention. As a result, the competition has become increasingly fierce, and the final transaction price has become higher and higher.
At that time, a serious civil strife broke out in the Demon Sect, and many precious classics and rare treasures of the Demon Sect, including the Black Iron Secret Map, were lost in the world. Anyway, every few years, there is always a magical treasure born, causing turmoil. What's more, they sell demonic treasures through various channels in exchange for sky-high wealth. The reason why Li Wanjie was sent to participate in the treasure appraisal conference was to identify whether there were demon sect treasures among the selected items. If there were any, he would buy them and send them back to Qianmen for safekeeping.
After hearing this, Hu Xiaotian felt strange and asked: "Since there are so many masters from all over the country, dragons and snakes are mixed together, why do seniors spend so much money? As long as it is confirmed that the treasures left behind by our sect are taken away by force after the auction, there is no need to be polite. ?¡±
Li Wanjie said: "Young master, you don't know. This treasure appraisal conference is actually held in two places. One is at Caobang General Headquarters, and only wealthy businessmen from all over the country can participate. The main auctions are jewelry and jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and beauties and wine. The other is Located in the main hall of the Salt Gang, all kinds of people from the Jianghu can enter the auction. The main auction items are magic weapons, armors, hidden weapons, martial arts secrets, various elixirs, etc. However, in order to limit the number of people and avoid overcrowding, everyone must first Pay a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver in exchange for a secret number plate made by the Salt Gang as a voucher for admission. In addition, the identities of all bidders will be kept strictly confidential, and they will wear special masks to hide their faces before the official auction begins. Others have seen through the origins. Moreover, the Salt Gang also promised to do its best to protect the successful bidders from returning home safely. Anyone who dares to snatch the treasure on the way is the sworn enemy of the Salt Gang! Even if I intend to seize the treasure, firstly, I don¡¯t know the identity of the buyer. Secondly, How can this be done at the risk of being hunted down by the Salt Gang?"
Hu Xiaotian said leisurely and fascinated: "No?When will this treasure appraisal conference be held? It's a pity that I don't even have a hundred taels of silver with me, so even if I wanted to broaden my horizons, I couldn't. "
Li Wanjie had a strange look on his face and said doubtfully, "With the dignity of a young master, how could he be bothered by such worldly things?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "I was captured by Li Xuan'er and Yan Jiu successively, and all the valuables on my body were looted. It's good to be able to survive."
Li Wanjie smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. I still owe the young master a favor. If the young master does not object, Li will pay the entrance deposit first! You and I will work hand in hand, in case we encounter something unexpected. Black-hearted villains with long eyes can also take care of each other. I wonder what you want, Master?"
Hu Xiaotian was not pretentious, and smiled and said: "Thank you for your generosity, senior. Then I would rather obey your orders!" The demonic sword hung high above his head and could fall at any time. He must solve the problem of yin and yang imbalance as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if we could find some kind of elixir that is extremely yin and cold at the treasure appraisal conference and successfully integrate the strong yang energy in the body? Challenging Ji Haoming and taking back Tang Xue is a destiny that he cannot refuse!
