Chapter 41: Chess Game
Yurun Palace was abuzz with discussion, and the main gate and the second-floor balcony were filled with spectators. Li Wudao and Li Zekai's fight in the rain caused a huge uproar.
This is not just a contest between strong men, but also a huge impact on the situation in Yilong Town.
The head of one of the three major families in Yilong Town was actually defeated by Li Wudao, an unknown young man. This is a big deal.
This means that Li Wudao has enough strength to even turn the three major families into four major families!
"Tell me, why did Qi Ling return to Yilong Town? Why did you ambush him? What secret is there!" Li Zeyu died too quickly before, and now Li Wudao wants to get the result from Li Zekai.
Hearing Li Wudao's words, Li Zekai opened his mouth, obviously a little surprised. And Li Wudao was sure that Li Zekai was an insider.
"You want to know? Hehe!" Li Zekai sneered and refused to say it out loud.
Seeing that Li Zekai was still stubborn, Li Wudao smiled, stepped on Li Zekai's chest, and looked towards Zunling Tailor Shop.
"Zhou Peng, bring me some salt." Li Wudao had no choice but to use torture.
The shops on the main street all have two doors, front and back, so you can walk across from the front door to the back door.
Hearing Li Wudao's greeting, Zhou Peng took out a bowl of salt and presented it respectfully under an oil-paper umbrella.
His eyes were filled with awe and envy. A month ago, Li Wudao was only a minor success warrior in the Bitter Sea Realm, even inferior to Zhou Peng. In less than two months, he had become a powerful warrior in the True Qi Realm, and even stepped on the head of one of the three major families.
"Thank you!" Li Wudao bowed to Zhou Peng, making him flattered.
Then Li Wudao sneered and lightly scratched Li Zekai's body with his index finger. His armor was immediately torn apart, leaving a wound on his chest.
He picked up the salt with a spoon and sprinkled it directly on Li Zekai's wound. The severe pain made Li Zekai's body tremble.
"Will you tell me or not?" Li Wudao was very calm. Now he was the knife and Li Zekai was the fish, and they had absolute initiative.
"Hmph! You think you can pry open my mouth? You think all these years of my life in the underworld have been for nothing!" Li Zekai was very tough. Even though he became Li Wudao's prisoner, he still looked down on Li Wudao.
Looking at Li Zekai's sidelong eyes, Li Wudao felt relieved and vowed to find out the truth.
"Really?" Li Wudao stared coldly at Li Zekai under his feet, and then laughed out loud.
Li Zekai was puzzled and didn't understand why Li Wudao was laughing.
"Do you think it would cause a sensation if the head of one of the three major families was hung naked at the town gate?" Li Wudao had a confident smile on his face, but there was a dangerous coldness in his eyes.
Li Zekai was shocked when he heard this, and his arrogance disappeared immediately.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's harder to go from extravagance to frugality. Having held power for a long time, one naturally hates to be humiliated. Li Zekai would rather die heroically than live in such humiliation.
He has been in Yilong Town for many years and has status and position. If he were hung naked at the town gate, it would be more painful for him than death!
"Li Wudao, what are you doing?" Qi dreamed that Li Wudao had already defeated his opponent and was still standing in the rain. She asked loudly in confusion in Yurun Palace.
The main street of Yilong Town was covered with dark clouds and the autumn wind was blowing. Li Wudao was dressed in tattered clothes and his long hair, soaked by the rain, did not move at all. Li Zekai was stepped on by him and had no power to resist.
"Have someone prepare the wine and food, I'll be there soon." It was already noon, Li Wudao turned around and gave Qi Meng instructions.
Qi Meng nodded when she heard this, and her attention was finally drawn to him. She asked Yurun Palace to prepare wine and food for Li Wudao.
The courtesan has a very high status in Yurun Palace, second only to the Palace Master.
"Will you tell me or not? If not, I will go and prepare the red cloth. This will be a good thing for many townspeople!" Evildoers will be punished by evildoers. Li Wudao was a little cruel to Li Zekai, who bullied the townspeople, but he did not feel any psychological pressure at all.
"You!..." Under Li Wudao's ruthless move, Li Zekai finally lowered his head and told the whole truth.
Thirteen years ago, the Qi family was still the head of the four major families. Qi Ling hosted a banquet to entertain the heads of the three major families. Under the flattery of several family heads, he got drunk and accidentally revealed a secret.
Qi is an unprecedented surname. According to Qi Ling, Yilong Mountain is a huge chess game, and their family is the chess keeper who has stayed behind for generations, so they took Qi as their surname, always vigilant and not forget their original intention.
The Qi family has a secret treasure. As long as they wait for the right time, they can start the chess game!
This attracted the attention of the three major families, but Qi Ling was loyal and righteous, and had many brothers in Yilong Town, so they did not dare to act rashly. Finally, after three years of secret waiting, Qi Ling took his family away, and only then did they carry out the murder ten years ago.
Unfortunately, after searching the entire Qi family, he still couldn't find the secret treasure. He could only put the disabled Qi Ling back and secretly monitor his every move.
Yilongshan is actually a chess game!
Yilong Town is located on Yilong Mountain. Although Yilong Mountain cannot be said to reach the sky, it is still a hundred feet high.
Li Wudao looked up at the huge Yilong Mountain and thought to himself how powerful one must be to use Yilong Mountain as a chess piece!
"Li Wudao, it's time to eat!" Qi Meng, wearing a wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress, smiled faintly at Ge Ren in Yurun Palace, like a young wife waiting for her husband to return from work.
Li Wudao nodded in response to Qi Meng in the rain, thinking that no wonder Old Man Ling was reluctant to leave, protecting Yilong Mountain was his mission!
"Didn't you say I couldn't pry your mouth open?" Li Wudao looked at Li Zekai with disdain and said, "Old man Ling was so kind as to invite you to a banquet, but you actually had evil intentions towards him. You're such ungrateful people!"
Li Zekai was furious when he heard this and was about to curse when Li Wudao stomped on him, making his face turn pale in an instant.
The kick landed on his lower abdomen, causing his Dantian to crack and his Qi sea to shatter. Decades of hard training went to waste.
Li Zekai was ruined by Li Wudao!
"You don't deserve to die in battle. You will suffer all the tortures from those you have killed in Yilong Town!" Li Wudao stared at Li Zekai coldly, with great contempt for this once powerful warrior.
Li Wudao kicked the ashen-faced Li Zekai away, turned around with a smile on his face, greeted Qi Meng, took out an oil-paper umbrella from the carriage and walked towards Yurun Palace.
As soon as Li Wudao walked into Yurun Palace, many strong men who were taking shelter from the rain surrounded him instantly. They flattered him and rode their horses, showing all kinds of human behavior.
"Get out of the way, I want to eat." Li Wudao spoke in a low voice. As soon as he said this, everyone quickly retreated, not daring to offend him.
Looking at the result, Li Wudao showed a satisfied smile. Under the guidance of Qi Meng, he pushed through the crowd and went to the second floor of Yurun Palace to have dinner.
This is the benefit of being powerful!
When Li Wudao was just a reckless man, no one paid attention to him and he was even ostracized.
Now that he has defeated Li Zekai, Li Wudao is in the limelight. Even if others flatter him, it depends on his mood.
"Mr. Li, I wonder how you plan to deal with the Li family?" The Palace Master of Yurun was a middle-aged woman with beautiful skin. Sun Nuoer sat on her right and asked Li Wudao on her left.
She smiled like a flower and spoke casually, but in fact she was listening with her ears perked up to test Li Wudao.
