Chapter 98 You Can Only Choose One

In the cave where the leader of Qingshan Sect was in seclusion, the stone door was tightly closed.

Elder Hong stood in front of the stone gate with a gloomy expression.

Behind him, the new leader Zong Haoran stood there. He no longer had the dignity and bearing of a leader that he had just shown in front of the guests. He lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

Elder Hong said in a deep voice, "That Fang Mengyu went to look for You Bifang, but she is missing now. I'm afraid she believed what he said."

"That kid has the token of the former headmaster and knows the Ten Thousand Valleys Sword Technique. There is no way that Senior Sister You will believe him."

"Humph, if you weren't such an idiot and hadn't done something bad, and hadn't been able to trick the token out of that old ghost, how could that kid surnamed Fang have taken advantage of us?"

Zong Haoran defended himself, "At that time, I had already learned most of the martial arts and swordsmanship, but I kept some things back. I'm afraid he was suspicious of me. Even if I didn't do it, he wouldn't have given me those two things."

"Humph, what is the level of that old ghost? Even if he is seriously injured, how can you kill him?"

Elder Hong became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he wished he could slap this idiot to death.

That year, he accidentally discovered that the former leader was seriously injured and could only rely on a spiritual spring on an island to survive, but he kept it secret.

He found a clever disciple, gave him some instructions, and sent him to the island, pretending that he was being chased by the enemy, was seriously injured, and broke into the island.

The former sect leader was fooled and found out that the man was a disciple of his sect. He also saw that the man had great talent, so in order to deal with the foreign enemy, he taught him his martial arts and swordsmanship.

Originally, the plan went very smoothly.

Unexpectedly, there was still a mistake. The person he sent to disguise as the enemy revealed his skills in swordsmanship, which made the former leader suspicious. After a little testing, Zong Haoran lost his composure and took it upon himself to poison the food.

It's as stupid as a pig.

Afterwards, Zong Haoran managed to escape.

Of course, up to this point, it was not a big problem. He sent people to block the island to prevent others from seeing it.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, there appeared a Fang Mengyu who was very good at swimming. By chance, he got to the island and gained the trust of the old ghost.

When Fang Mengyu was leaving the island carrying the leader's sword, the people guarding the island discovered him and immediately chased after him, but he managed to escape several times.

After Elder Hong received the news, he decisively advanced the plan and took the initiative to promote Zong Haoran to the position of the head of the sect, claiming that the head of the sect's token had been stolen by a petty thief.

Since conspiracy doesn't work, we can only do it openly.

As long as we kill that kid named Fang and take back the token, who would dare to say that Zong Haoran is not the leader?

Now, it depends on whether You Bifang has the better plan or he has the better move.

……

Daqing Mountain, in a dense forest.

Gu Mingchuan was pulling Ruan Qingqing and running quickly when suddenly his face changed and he fell to the ground, covering his chest with his hands, his face full of pain.

"Big brother!"

Ruan Qingqing hurried forward, knelt in front of him, formed seals with her hands, and performed a spell to relieve his pain.

After a while.

Gu Mingchuan recovered, sat up, and said sincerely, "Sister Qingqing, thank you for your help."

Ruan Qingqing's forehead was covered with sweat, and she said anxiously, "Brother, Brother Mengyu is in danger, we have to go back and save him..."

"and many more."

Gu Mingchuan pulled her back and said, "Listen to me. If we go back now, we will only hinder our second brother. That fake leader wants to capture us, obviously he wants to use us to threaten him."

Ruan Qingqing said at a loss, "What should I do?"

Gu Mingchuan explained to her, "Second brother has the Qingshan Sect's leader's token on him. That fake leader can't cover up everything. There are always wise people in the Qingshan Sect. What's fake won't be real, and what's real won't be fake. When the two sides confront each other, the fake leader will naturally be exposed."

"What we need to do now is to protect ourselves and not get caught by the fake leader. Don't worry, my second brother is so smart, nothing will happen to him."

At this moment, a voice came from above his head, "He is right."

Two figures fell down, they were Wang Xining and the old woman.

Gu Mingchuan had actually discovered that the two of them were hiding in the tree a long time ago, but he just pretended not to notice.

He apologized, "Miss Wang, I'm really sorry for getting you into trouble this time. In fact, you don't have to run away. Explain it to them and they will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Wang Xining looked at him deeply and said, "Never rely on the mercy of others for your own safety."

"I had a good friend who was visiting a sect when something happened to that sect. He relied on his background and was detained. He was killed that night. Afterwards, that sect was razed to the ground. So what? The people were already dead."

"It is clear that the Qingshan Sect is now in internal strife. If these people go crazy, they will kill anyone."

Gu Mingchuan nodded, acknowledging that she had a point.

But I just asked casually, why did she explain so much?
At this time, the old woman said, "Be careful, someone is coming."

"Walk."

The four of them left immediately.

……

"what is that?"

When several people were about to run down the mountain, Ruan Qingqing pointed to the sky.

Gu Mingchuan took a look and could vaguely see an almost invisible barrier in the sky. Due to the refraction of sunlight, he could see a clue.

Wang Xining's face changed slightly, "Not good, this is the Qingshan Sect's mountain protection formation."

Gu Mingchuan sighed and said, "It seems that we can't run away for the time being. Let's go and find a place to hide in the mountains first. Wait for news from my second brother."

It's easy to tell that the guards at the foot of the mountain are the most strict at this time, so it's better to go back and find a place to hide in the mountains.

……

Soon after, the four found a cave.

The "Grandma Li" was on guard outside the cave.

Inside the cave, Gu Mingchuan and the two women stared at each other.

It was Wang Xining who spoke first, "I only know your name is Abin, what's your last name?"

"I don't have a last name."

Gu Mingchuan shook his head, looking like he didn't want to talk any more.

To be honest, he really didn't know Abin's last name.

Wang Xining really didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around and asked Ruan Qingqing, "Miss Qingqing, was that a spell you used just now?"

"Yes, that is the Spring Rain Curse."

"I heard that only people with special bloodlines can master this kind of spell."

"I don't know either. My spells were all taught to me by my mother."

Gu Mingchuan immediately thought of the old blind man next to Governor Guo, so the other party also had special blood. Ruan Qingqing was the second person he had seen who could cast spells.

Wang Xining changed the topic to a lighter one, "How did you two meet?"

"Not long ago, I was on a boat with Brother Mengyu, and that's how I met Brother Abin. Brother Mengyu got along very well with him, and then we became sworn brothers."

"Then how did you meet your brother Mengyu?"

"I was living on an island at the time, and some bad guys killed my aunt and my sisters. It was Brother Mengyu who saved me."

When Ruan Qingqing talked about this tragic incident, tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Xining quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad memories."

This was also the first time that Gu Mingchuan heard about how she and Fang Mengyu met.

It sounds like her family lives on an island, and the entire sect, or family, is there. Then, an enemy came and wiped them out, leaving only her.

Isn’t this the heroine’s script?
Fang Mengyu also had various adventures, and it was clear that she was playing the male lead.

Someone like him, with just a mediocre panel that can become stronger by adding points, is just too boring.

Just then, there was a loud bang outside.

It was obvious that someone was fighting.

not good!

The people from Qingshan Sect caught up with them.

Moreover, the person who came was extremely powerful, and even Granny Li didn't have time to warn him.

Gu Mingchuan and Wang Xining reacted very quickly and pulled Ruan Qingqing towards the cave entrance. Before they reached the cave entrance, a sword flew in and went straight to Ruan Qingqing's face.

Wang Xining and Gu Mingchuan attacked at the same time.

Wang Xining slashed at the flying sword with his sword, but the sword was almost knocked out of his hand, causing severe pain in the palm of his hand.

Her cultivation at this point had already broken through to the Shenzang realm, but unfortunately her power was still shallow and she was unable to block the sword.

Gu Mingchuan simply stretched out his hand, grabbed the sword's blade, and twisted it hard, changing the direction of the flying sword a little.

However, he paid a heavy price for this, as all five of his fingers were cut off.

The sword almost brushed past Ruan Qingqing's cheek, leaving a shallow wound on her face.

"Brother Abin!"

When Ruan Qingqing saw that Gu Mingchuan's fingers were all cut off, she cried out in grief, grabbed his hand, and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks.

"Rewind."

Gu Mingchuan endured the pain and pulled Ruan Qingqing and Wang Xining back.

……

"what?"

With a slight exclamation, a woman in a Taoist robe walked in, and the flying sword flew back to her hand like a silk thread. She didn't take the opportunity to kill them all.

This Taoist nun was quite beautiful, but her face was so pale that it was almost bloodless, her lips were very thin, and the evil spirit in her eyes ruined her beauty.

When Gu Mingchuan saw this person, his heart sank.

In the Qingshan Sect, there are three top masters above the seventh level of Divine Hidden Realm, two of whom have been traveling outside. Only one is left to stay in the sect, a Taoist nun named Wuxin.

It is said that this woman had been hurt in love and her personality became extremely extreme. She was ruthless and never left anyone alive.

Captain Cao Kun once said that this was the person that the Qingshan Sect should not mess with.

At this moment, the Taoist nun Wuxin stared at him with a pair of eyes full of evil intent, and said, "You are really affectionate and loyal to this girl. Who is she to you? Is she worth you losing one of your hands for her?"

Gu Mingchuan said righteously, "This is my sister, I should protect her well."

"Senior, this Miss Wang is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Weiyuan. This matter has nothing to do with her. Please be merciful and let her go."

When Wang Xining heard his words, he felt like he was electrocuted. He turned his head sharply and looked at him.

When Taoist Nun Wuxin heard the words "Weiyuan Hou", her expression did not change at all. She only asked, "What is your relationship with Miss Wang? Why are you so concerned about her safety?"

Gu Mingchuan heard a sign of danger from her tone, and subconsciously took a half step forward, blocking Wang Xining behind him, and said, "She is a friend of my sworn brother's friend."

Nun Wuxin's expression suddenly changed. "You are lying! Since you have deep feelings for this girl, why do you care so much about other women?"

"A person's heart can only hold one person. You can't even look at someone else for a second."

"Boy, you have to choose one today."

As she spoke, two sword energies began to condense in front of her, and she said in a cold voice, "Tell me, who do you choose?"

Gu Mingchuan finally realized that this was a crazy woman.

He made an international friendly gesture to her with his left hand, "I choose your mother!"

Nun Wuxin was furious, "You are looking for death!"

In his rage, he momentarily ignored the danger behind him.

She felt a shock on her back, and the vital energy that protected her body was actually broken. She felt a chill on her back, and her body was pierced by some sharp weapon.

"what--"

Suffering this severe blow, she screamed, but endured the severe pain and pushed out the two sword energies in her hands.

One of the sword energies missed the target and sank into the top of the cave, disappearing.

Another sword energy went straight towards the three people and hit the man.

"Wow--"

Nun Wuxin no longer had the heart to pay attention to them. She felt a sweetness in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her true energy exploded, shattering the thing that attacked her into powder.

Only then did she realize that it was five fingers that attacked her.

"What kind of skill is this? A severed finger can actually move on its own?"

She was somewhat shocked.

After eliminating the threat, she took out the weapon that almost pierced her body.

It looked like a fragment of a bronze mirror, but it could actually break through her body's protective essence. It was definitely not an ordinary object.

She looked up and saw that the three people had disappeared. At the end of the cave, a passage was opened, and she didn't know where the passage led to.

The murderous intent in her eyes was real, and she hated the cunning boy to the core. She immediately took out the healing medicine she carried with her, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged to practice her internal energy.
