Chapter 238 Acting and sneak attack
The people from Longwu Pavilion arrived quickly.
Less than two days had passed since Meng Xinggan sent the message to Longwu Pavilion, and a master from Longwu Pavilion had arrived.
Even though Longwu Pavilion is located relatively close to Qiqiao Villa, it is still two states away. Even if one is a Grandmaster, it is impossible for him to get here so quickly.
So there is only one possibility.
That is, the master of Longwu Pavilion was originally near Qiqiao Villa.
The expert who came to Longwu Pavilion this time was, as expected, a Grandmaster, and even an expert in the late third stage of the Grandmaster realm.
His name is Zhang Yuan, the grand elder of Longwu Pavilion.
Compared to Li Wenxin who is only in the middle stage of the third rank, and Zhong Yunxin and Liao Ming who are in the early stage of the third rank, Zhang Yuan is already an extraordinary master.
The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to cross levels within the same grade.
Therefore, Li Wenxin had no choice but to take Zhang Yuan's arrival seriously.
She hurried out of the room to meet Zhang Yuan. Before she saw him, she heard his voice: "Humph! I smelled the stench of those vixen from Xihua Palace from a distance. I didn't expect it was you two."
"You old bastard! You are a Grandmaster, yet you bully us, the younger generation of innate masters. Do you still have any shame?!"
Dingxiang's delicate voice was heard, with a hint of anger in her words.
When Li Wenxin heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
I have heard for a long time that the relationship between Longwu Pavilion and Xihua Palace is extremely bad, especially in recent years, after Xihua Palace used "special" means to seduce a genius from Longwu Pavilion.
But Li Wenxin had not expected that their relationship would be so bad. A Grandmaster would attack a junior in the Innate Realm. Even Longwu Pavilion dared to do such an extremely embarrassing thing!
Thinking of this, Li Wenxin did not dare to delay and quickly flew up to the door from the air and said to the visitor:
"Please show mercy, Elder Zhang!"
When he arrived at the scene, Li Wenxin saw the great elder of Longwu Pavilion hanging in the air with one hand pinching Zhou Que's neck.
The Grandmaster level is already able to fly in the air, but the third level is difficult to do, and only the second level can stay in the sky for a long time.
Therefore, when third-grade Grandmasters fight, most of the fights take place on the ground.
He is not like the man in the sky, who stands in the air as soon as he arrives, as if he is afraid that others don’t know that he is the master.
However, seeing it hovering in the air so easily, Li Wenxin was also frightened.
It seems that Elder Zhang Yuan's skill level has almost reached the second level, otherwise he would not be able to stay in the air so easily.
Zhang Yuan was an old man who looked to be nearly sixty years old, with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows. He was in extremely good health and had a strong aura, like a veteran who had just come down from the battlefield.
Hearing Li Wenxin's request, Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to Li Wenxin, then glanced at Zhou Que, whose hand was being pinched by him and was in great pain, and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, for the sake of Master Li, I'll let you go for now. The next time I see you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he said that, Zhang Yuan threw the Zhou Que in his hand to the ground with a fierce throw.
After being caught by Zhang Yuan, Zhou Que's Qi was already locked, and now he was thrown to the ground by Zhang Yuan with a special method. If he fell firmly to the ground, even if Zhou Que was a congenital warrior, he would definitely not feel good.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Wenxin acted in time, waved his hand, and a long whip flew out from his waist, wrapped around Zhou Que's body and allowed him to land safely.
"Thank you so much, Master Li, for saving my junior sister!"
When Zhou Que landed, Ding Xiang hurried forward to hug Zhou Que, then turned around and bowed to Li Wenxin to thank him.
Li Wenxin nodded slightly, accepting the other party's thanks, and then looked at Zhang Yuan and bowed:
"Elder Zhang has come from afar, and I am sorry that I failed to welcome you in person. I hope Elder Zhang will forgive me."
Li Wenxin did not mention what Zhang Yuan had just done to Zhou Que, but greeted Zhang Yuan naturally.
Zhang Yuan didn't care about the two younger generations below.
He fell from the sky, met Li Wenxin's eyes, and said bluntly: "No need for complicated etiquette, Master Li, you should know why I came here. Wei Xiong was the direct disciple of my master's junior brother. Now he died in the sphere of influence of your manor. Should I say it or not...your manor should also give me an explanation."
"I am deeply saddened by the death of Young Master Wei. I have already sent people to search for relevant evidence and seek the truth. Elder Zhang, please be patient and wait."
Wei Xiong’s death actually has nothing to do with Qiqiao Villa. Even if we really want to find the murderer, it is not actually Qiqiao Villa’s business.
But there was no way. Even if Wei Xiong died in the territory of the six major sects, the six major sects would still have to investigate it thoroughly. What's more, Qiqiao Villa was not one of the six major sects.
Moreover, Li Wenxin was also clear that Zhang Yuan had no intention of making things difficult for Qiqiao Villa.
It’s just that this is the rule of the underworld. Whoever causes an accident on their territory must take responsibility, and Zhang Yuan also acts according to the rules.
All he wanted was an attitude from Qiqiao Villa.
Now that Li Wenxin has given him enough face, Zhang Yuan is probably satisfied.
Sure enough, after Li Wenxin finished speaking, Zhang Yuan said no more. He asked Li Wenxin where Meng Xinggan was at the moment, and then walked past Li Wenxin and headed towards the courtyard where Meng Xinggan was.
Zhang Yuan went to find Meng Xinggan.
Li Qi heard the noise outside and came to the door. He looked at Dingxiang who was crying while holding Zhou Que, and his eyes turned slightly.
Seeing Huang Wanmian who had also come out, Li Qi couldn't help but walk over to her and ask, "Is the relationship between Longwu Pavilion... and Xihua Palace so bad?"
Huang Wanmian replied casually:
"Two years ago, there was a genius from the Longwu Pavilion in the martial arts world. He was praised as a rare genius and was said to have the potential to become a second-grade grandmaster."
She paused and glanced at Li Qi: "Just like you."
"Then what?"
"Then he was taken advantage of by someone from Xihua Palace. Qu Fengyan of Xihua Palace joined the game and made him switch to Xihua Palace. Now he is the son-in-law of Xihua Palace, but Longwu Pavilion has nothing to do with him."
“…”
Qu Fengyan, whose name means "Feng" in flowers, birds, wind and moon, is not good at martial arts but is extremely beautiful, ranking third on the list of Jianghu beauties.
If she came to seduce the genius of Longwu Pavilion, it would not be unreasonable that the genius of Longwu Pavilion would fall into her trap.
However, giving up one's master for beauty... Li Qi couldn't comment on this behavior.
But I can understand why Longwu Pavilion is so targeting Xihua Palace.
While Li Qi was thinking, Huang Wanmian added:
"Oh, by the way, that genius from the Dragon Martial Pavilion seems to be the direct disciple of this Elder Zhang."
Li Qi: "..."
Okay, now it makes more sense.
…
It was a big event that Zhang Yuan from Longwu Pavilion came to Qiqiao Villa in person.
Including Zhang Yuan from Longwu Pavilion, there are actually four masters gathered in the small Qiqiao Villa.
Even among the six major sects, there are only eight or nine masters in each sect.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qiqiao Villa is currently the seventh largest force in the martial arts world.
Oh, you mean the imperial court?
The imperial court is not considered a martial arts force, and people from the martial arts world are unwilling to play with people from the imperial court, so it is not considered a martial arts force.
However, although there were several powerful Grandmasters, they had no clue about the investigation into Wei Xiong's death.
The only clue at the moment is what Jiang Anyan once mentioned, that Wei Xiong met with a mysterious person.
But this is just Jiang Anyan's one-sided statement.
No one except him could be sure of the truth of this matter.
The investigation was in trouble for a while.
As the wedding date agreed with Xuanjian Sect was approaching, the six major sects had not been able to find any results. Even though Li Wenxin had always been calm, he could not help himself now.
He really wanted to ask when the six major sects would leave.
After all, they are the backbone of various major sects, so it is not a good idea for them to stay in his Qiqiao Villa forever.
Li Wen wanted to ask this, but before he could ask.
Something happened again.
Zhou Que from Xihua Palace, the one who was taught a lesson by Zhang Yuan from Longwu Pavilion a few days ago, disappeared without a trace when he woke up in the morning. Dingxiang searched everywhere in the villa but could not find any trace of him.
Now he is looking for Zhang Yuan from Longwu Pavilion to ask for an explanation.
Of course, if it was just Dingxiang, she would definitely not dare to go to Zhang Yuan of Longwu Pavilion for advice, but in addition to Dingxiang, she was also accompanied by Master Ming.
Although Liao Ming was only at the initial stage of the third rank Grandmaster realm, he was also an 'old man' who had stayed in this realm for many years. His strength was not weaker than Li Wenxin, so he did not need to be afraid of Zhang Yuan.
Qianfo Temple and Xihua Palace attacked the people of Longwu Pavilion at the same time. Even though Zhang Yuan was powerful, he had to be cautious.
The situation at the villa was changing rapidly. Li Qi, who was observing secretly, felt something was wrong when he saw the six factions quarreling again.
No matter how discordant the six sects are, they won't quarrel to the point of physical violence.
And they were all peaceful a few days ago, why are they quarreling so endlessly these days? Li Qi always felt that he had overlooked something. He thought that perhaps without his knowledge, the six factions had reached some agreement in secret.
But Li Qi had no evidence.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
The six sects were arguing so much that they had long forgotten the purpose of coming to Qiqiao Villa. Li Qi was also relieved, at least he didn't have to face the targeting of the six sects.
Besides, he is now nominally a disciple of Tianyi Valley. Although he has not yet formally become a disciple, he is also a member of the six sects.
The six major sects would not really do anything to Li Qi.
Li Qi hid in the dark and watched the show, while Li Wenxin had to act as a mediator to persuade these people from the six major sects.
As a result, he almost persuaded himself to go to jail, and he was in a very embarrassing situation.
"This old man..."
Looking at what was happening in the courtyard, Li Qi was speechless.
The affairs of the six sects are not so easy to interfere. Since they want to quarrel anyway, why not just find a place for them to quarrel? Why bother to get involved? Now she is in such a state of embarrassment that she cannot even get off the stage. She has no idea what Li Wenxin is thinking.
Um? Something is wrong. Li Wenxin doesn't seem to be such a brainless person...
After Li Qi complained in his heart, he suddenly thought that Li Wenxin had been the owner of Qiqiao Villa for so many years, so how could he not know the principle of keeping a low profile.
I always feel something is a little weird about getting involved in the dispute among the six factions this time.
"Could it be..."
acting?
Li Qi looked at them and felt that he had guessed something.
But before he could express his guess, suddenly, a palm wind came from behind and went straight to the back of his heart!
