Chapter 163: The Romantic Song of the Celebrity·IX

Ye Gucheng returned empty-handed, which surprised Wang An.

"Do you know that if you don't kill him this time, he will definitely kill you in the future!"

Ye Gucheng said nothing about this: "He promised to compete with me openly when I break through in swordsmanship."

Wang An was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "You are the world-famous Lord of Baiyun City, and he is just a civil official!"

Ye Gucheng shook his head and said, "No, he is a top master."

Wang An's face turned pale and he mocked, "Is he really that powerful, or is he just a fairy from the sky who got his reputation in vain?"

What responded to him was Ye Gucheng's sword light that was as fast as lightning.

Ye Gucheng's sword stopped an inch in front of Wang An, and the cold sword energy that seemed to freeze a person's bone marrow emanated from the sharp sword tip.

Ye Gucheng pointed at Wang An and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Wang An broke out in a cold sweat and almost collapsed back into his seat. Only when he really faced Ye Gucheng's sword could he feel the terror of this peerless swordsman. There were few people in the world who could escape Ye Gucheng's sword. His sword moves had almost reached the realm of being invincible.

Wang An knew that he had made a big mistake. He should not have doubted Ye Gucheng's sword.

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng did not intend to tear his face off with him, otherwise, he would not even have the chance to savor the sword just now, and would have gone directly to see Prince Yan.

Wang An wiped his sweat and said calmly, "You shouldn't let him go!"

Ye Gucheng took back his sword, hugged it to his chest and said, "I'm no match for him now."

Wang An was even more terrified. He could vaguely sense from Wei Ziyun's attitude towards Xiao Hao that Xiao Hao might be good at martial arts, but he didn't expect Xiao Hao's martial arts to be so high.

Ye Gucheng said again, "He didn't even unsheathe his sword, but I couldn't control myself and put it down."

Wang An took a breath of cold air. Under the heavens, the people who are recognized as having reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the martial arts world are: Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng, Shaolin Dabei Zen Master, Wudang Mu Dao Ren, Wanmei Villa Ximen Chuixue, Qingyi Tower Huo Xiu, Emei Dugu Yihe. Ye Gucheng, one of the top masters, actually said that he couldn't even lift the sword in front of Xiao Hao.

And Ye Gucheng said this himself.

Wang An felt that he was either dreaming or hallucinating.

If Xiao Hao was such a peerless master, the plan to replace the little emperor would probably encounter unprecedented obstacles.

Wang An thought doubtfully, who else could be a match for Xiao Hao.

There are recognized rankings in the martial arts world, but there are also uncrowned kings, such as the mysterious master in the West.

The grievances between the Western Demon Cult and the old subordinates have been going on for more than one or two days. Xiao Hao has rejected his offer. Perhaps he should take this opportunity to test the attitude of the master.

Wang An smiled. They were faced with a double choice. If one way was blocked, the other way might be open to them.

Ye Gucheng didn't care what Wang An was thinking. He glanced at the closed door and frowned, "It seems a little inappropriate for us to meet here every time."

Wang An was a cautious person. He was confident in the place he chose. "The city lord is worrying too much. There are all kinds of people in the brothel. We won't be discovered."

Ye Gucheng was silent for a while. He knew that Master Guisun and the courtesan Ouyang Qing were not people of leisure. This was very risky. "He came here with Lu Xiaofeng."

"Don't worry, I have made proper arrangements. Although Xiao Hao arrived at the door, he did not come in. It was Lu Xiaofeng who came to see my sister. They can't find out anything."

Ye Gucheng had to give up.

Wang An saw that his hand holding the sword never relaxed. He knew that he wanted to deal with the spies in the brothel. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't make a fuss. His Majesty is not in the palace now, maybe we can advance our plan."

Ye Gucheng was slightly startled, and suddenly understood why Xiao Hao looked anxious and unwilling to fight with him. "You mean..."

Wang An rubbed his hands and said, "We have to find 'his Majesty' before them and send 'his Majesty' back to the palace safely."

Wudang.

On the way up the mountain, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have all the bones in his body scattered. He walked lazily behind Xiao Hao and said, "Master Mu often travels around the world with old man Gusong. If you go to Wudang to look for him, you won't be able to find him nine times out of ten."

Xiao Hao kept walking and said, "He must be in the temple now."

Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised: "Are you so sure that the dishonest little emperor must be following Master Mu?"

Xiao Hao turned around and glanced at him, and replied, "Although your majesty is naughty, he is still honest."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that this great scholar Xiao was unexpectedly protecting his people. He decisively changed the topic: "Then why couldn't the people who took away the well-behaved little Majesty be other Wudang disciples wearing Taoist robes?"

"You and Mu Dao Ren are good friends, you should understand his temper."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression became even stranger, "Although he is a little obsessed with money, I really can't think of any reason for him to kidnap the current emperor."

Xiao Hao pointed in the direction where Shi Zhixuan was hiding, and continued to walk forward and said: "Autumn Water and Long Sky Ring."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at that place, and could not feel any breath, but he knew what Xiao Hao was referring to. He approached Xiao Hao, his whole body showing excessive curiosity and restlessness: "Why doesn't Brother Shi show up? Does he have any special hobbies? Like playing hide-and-seek?"

Xiao Hao looked at him with amusement: "He has very good ears."

Lu Xiaofeng shrank his neck and immediately looked around to make sure that he didn't sense any murderous aura before continuing: "You are probably the most mysterious people I have ever met."

Xiao Hao changed the subject calmly: "He found something and it is not convenient for him to come out for the time being."

Lu Xiaofeng wondered: "What makes Brother Shi so afraid?"

Xiao Hao looked at him indifferently, stopped and said: "That's something I have to ask you."

Lu Xiaofeng stared, pointed at himself with his index finger, and tilted his head.

Xiao Hao explained, "You said before that there were four groups of people following you. What about now?"

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, "...I really don't want to believe that Mu Dao Ren has anything to do with this matter."

Xiao Hao smiled, "So you are Lu Xiaofeng."

Xiao Hao has a systematic list of targets. Since Lu Xiaofeng and he merged, all those followers have appeared in his target list without exception. Shi Zhixuan said that he sensed the long-lost evil spirit from those people, so he took the initiative to hide in the dark just in case.

Xiao Hao still remembered that Shi Zhixuan had gone astray because of the evil spirit, so he acquiesced to his behavior.

He saw that Lu Xiaofeng was a little depressed, and comforted him: "You don't have to think too much. I can be sure that His Majesty is in the hands of Mu Daoren because I know more than you."

Mu Daoren may be a close friend in front of Lu Xiaofeng, but he is also the owner of Youling Mountain Villa. He is an ambitious man, whether it is power or wealth.

He looks like a person outside the world, but people outside the world are not really clean.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if you are comforting me or deliberately arousing my curiosity."

Xiao Hao curled the corners of his mouth and said, "We're here."

A young disciple was standing at the gate of Wudang Mountain, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Shi He!" Lu Xiaofeng recognized him at a glance, and then sighed to Xiao Hao: "It seems you are right."

Shi He clasped his fists to the two of them, and said to Xiao Hao: "Master is waiting for you at Taihe Temple." Lu

Xiaofeng raised the pot of apricot blossom wine that Xiao Hao gave him in his hand, and smiled to Shi He: "Lu Xiaofeng came all the way to find Mu Dao Ren to taste the fine wine. He will definitely not refuse me, right?"

But Shi He stopped him: "Master only saw the great scholar Xiao."

Lu Xiaofeng's face sank slightly, and he wanted to say something, but Xiao Hao waved his hand and said to him: "It's okay, I'll go see him myself."

"But..." Lu Xiaofeng felt that things were not simple.

Xiao Hao did not tell him that Ye Gucheng had come to see him. Whether it was Ye Gucheng or Mu Dao Ren, it would be better for Lu Xiaofeng to discover their secrets by himself.

Lu Xiaofeng put his hands on his waist and said to Shi He: "Tell your master that the wine I, Lu Xiaofeng, invited him to drink is unique in the world. If he doesn't see me this time, I won't let him drink even if he calls me Master Lu in the future."

Shi He stood in front of him motionless, and said with a stern face: "We have to wait until they have finished meeting before telling him."

Lu Xiaofeng jumped outside the temple in anger. Mu Daoren's martial arts are very high, and Xiao Hao is a scholar. Even if Xiao Hao knows the magical skill of transmitting sound into secret, it doesn't mean that he can make Lu Xiaofeng believe that he can beat Mu Daoren. This is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Lu Xiaofeng can't wait outside with peace of mind.

He didn't know where Shi Zhixuan was, so he simply squatted down and said to Shitou, "Brother Shi, now I can only rely on you." I hope Shi Zhixuan is as good at hearing as Xiao Hao said.

Xiao Hao entered the temple and followed the instructions on the target list directly into the room. Mu Dao Ren stood in the middle of the room with his back to him. He looked around and saw the little emperor lying flat on the couch, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Hao frowned, walked to the bed, and used a finger to return the phoenix to the little emperor.

The state under the little emperor's health bar was dispelled, and he woke up slowly.

Mu Dao Ren did not stop Xiao Hao from beginning to end, but stood by with a smile.

The little emperor opened his eyes, saw Xiao Hao in front of him, and sat up from the bed.

"Sir...!"

He glanced nervously at Mu Daoren on his right, then looked at Xiao Hao and fell silent.

Xiao Hao touched his head, then took a step back, saluted and said, "I am late in rescuing you, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The little emperor hurriedly jumped off the couch and helped Xiao Hao up, "Sir! I..."

Taoist Mu stood behind them and said with a smile, "I thought that Mr. Xiao was a hidden martial arts master, but I didn't expect that he is so proficient in medicine."

Xiao Hao turned around and looked at him coldly, and said solemnly, "Even Wudang can't bear the charge of kidnapping the emperor."

Taoist Mu smiled calmly and said, "That's right, but no one will know about this except Your Majesty, you and me."

Xiao Hao frowned and blocked the little emperor behind him, "What do you mean?"

Taoist Mu stroked his beard and said, "Sir, don't joke."

Xiao Hao was slightly startled and turned his head to look at the little emperor behind him.

The little emperor was not looking at him, but staring at Mu Dao Ren calmly and motionlessly.

Xiao Hao suddenly realized that under normal circumstances, this kid would have rushed up to him and pretended to wipe his tears to take advantage of him. His apprentice rarely took things seriously, and when he did, it meant something was happening.

He widened his eyes and suddenly thought of something.
