At that moment, the knife was only 0.01 centimeters away from Zhang Chaoyang's neck.
But a quarter of an incense stick later, the woman who owned the knife would fall completely in love with him, because he decided to tell a lie. Although he had told countless lies in his life, he believed this one to be the most perfect.
"You should do this, and I should die too. There was once a sincere love placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. Only when I lost it did I realize my regret..."
"Shut up! What exactly do you want to say?!" Rong'er said impatiently.
"Oh, Rong'er, actually what I wanted to say was... did you think everything I said on the rooftop was from the bottom of my heart?" Zhang Chaoyang said, his eyes red.
Rong'er retorted irritably, "Otherwise what?"
"No, you're wrong! You've misunderstood me!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a pained expression, feeling sorry for himself. "Actually, I knew from beginning to end that the man surnamed Lin wouldn't kill you! Think about it, in the matter of the Shadowless Sect, he has been protecting your master, which means he has a close relationship with your master. Out of respect for your master, he wouldn't kill you. Moreover, he deliberately let me go to lure out my uncle! So it's not safe for me to be with you. I deliberately angered you because I was afraid you would be implicated along with me!"
Upon hearing this, Rong'er's beautiful eyes trembled violently.
He then shook his head and snorted, "Stop with the sweet talk. If you're afraid of getting involved, why did you come looking for me in the first place?"
Zhang Chaoyang quickly moved closer and whispered, "My uncle has invited a master from the previous era, the Starry Sky Immortal! You must have heard of the Starry Sky Immortal's boundless magical power, right?"
Starry Sky Immortal?
Rong'er's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. She had heard of this name before. He was a person from the same era as her master, and his seniority was even higher than her master's!
Zhang Chaoyang sneered, "This person will definitely be able to kill Lin Yu!"
As he spoke, he took out another pill and said, "Rong'er, this is a spiritual pill that my uncle obtained from the Starry Sky Immortal. It can quickly elevate a martial artist at the peak of internal strength to the Grandmaster level. My martial arts are completely ruined, so I don't need it anymore. I specially obtained it to give to you!"
"A magic pill?"
Rong'er's eyes lit up, then her beautiful eyes gradually reddened, and she choked out, "I'm sorry, elder brother, I misunderstood. I didn't expect you to be so good to Rong'er!"
Zhang Chaoyang sneered. This girl is too naive! She fell for his tricks so easily!
He hurriedly urged, "It's alright, hurry up and eat it. After you eat it, we'll go to the Fish Killing Competition. Senior Xingxiu will also be there. I'll ask him to take you as his disciple. Once you become Senior Xingxiu's disciple, what is that Lin guy? Senior can crush him with a single finger!"
Rong'er nodded excitedly, her beautiful eyes calm as she said, "It's all because of this Lin fellow that Master treated me that way! And didn't he say that my biological father was his mother's killer? Hmph, that's perfect, let's settle the grudges of the previous generation between us!"
Looking at Rong'er's murderous face, Zhang Chaoyang's lips curled up.
Well, their evil scheme has succeeded!
“Rong’er, don’t just stand there! Let’s find a place quickly so you can take the elixir and become a Grandmaster in no time! I think that Lin guy has been sending experts to keep an eye on us. Once you become a Grandmaster, we can get rid of them!” Zhang Chaoyang said hurriedly.
Rong'er nodded, and the two quickly found a place to take the pills.
...
Just as Rong'er was busy with her promotion.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu also received the news.
"Young Marshal, the Zhang family's assassins have reappeared. I reckon that old fox is about to make another move!" Feng Jiu reported as she walked over.
Lin Yu sneered, "What trick is he up to now?"
Feng Jiu shook her head and said, "He sent assassins to deliver a message to Zhang Chaoyang!"
"What letter?"
Feng Jiu sighed, "I don't know the specifics either. That kid ate the paper, and the assassin committed suicide by poison before leaving that street! But in my opinion, it should be related to the fish-killing competition!"
"Furthermore, I have received news that the Starry Sky Immortal, who has been missing from the martial arts world for many years, is coming to participate in the martial arts conference!"
“This person has been missing for thirty years and is no longer on the list of influential figures. He may have already reached the Saint Realm. I think his arrival is related to the person behind Zhang Wanghai!” Feng Jiu guessed.
Lin Yu sneered dismissively, "Whatever, I'll take action!"
...
The night before the Wulin Feng tournament.
The heroes gathered at the foot of Langlang Mountain outside the city.
That's right, it's a fish-killing competition!
All sects united to demand that the martial arts alliance leader give an explanation regarding the Shadowless Sect!
Otherwise, even if it means a firefly rushing into a flame, it will fight the leader to the very end!
Because the martial arts world needs justice!
At this moment, on the platform in front, a man stood on it, speaking eloquently and loudly.
"Everyone knows that Lin Yu, the leader of the martial arts alliance, is just a figurehead. He holds the title of leader but does nothing of substance, betraying the trust of our martial arts brothers!"
"The deaths of the Shadowless Faction must be accounted for! Otherwise, the next to die will be your Mantis Fist Faction, Snake Fist Faction, or even Monkey Fist Faction!"
"The entire martial arts world is interconnected and united; no one can do without the others. This concerns the interests of each and every one of us, and we must fight Lin Yu to the very end!"
Zhang Chaoyang raised his hand and shouted loudly.
Everyone else followed suit and raised their hands.
"Fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
Next, everyone started talking at once, listing all the wrong things Lin Yu had done.
Harboring the murderer Chen Yannan is also a crime!
He conspired with Chen Yannan and Liu Jingwu to seize Li Chengang's martial arts manual, which is his second crime!
He disregarded the reputation of the martial arts world in the north. This is his third crime!
In conclusion, this person is utterly wicked and guilty of heinous crimes. He must be executed!
brush!
Just as the crowd was in a state of high spirits, a woman in black holding a portrait of the deceased slowly entered the arena, accompanied by a group of disciples dressed in black martial arts uniforms.
It was none other than Li Xin, who had just lost her grandfather!
At this moment, Li Xin walked onto the stage with a somber look in her eyes and loudly proclaimed, "I, Li Xin, hereby swear that whoever can take Lin Yu's head, I will give away all my wealth to repay them!"
Wow!
The scene immediately erupted in excitement!
The Shadowless Sect is now a well-known sect in the martial arts world, with numerous businesses under its control and its martial arts schools branching out in many directions.
Li Xin's offer immediately attracted everyone's attention.
However, taking Lin Yu's head? That's no easy task.
Lin Yu dominated the martial arts tournament and even defeated Li Qingcang!
Even the strongest expert wouldn't dare say they could take Lin Yu's head.
Unless they are powerful figures from the previous era, only legendary figures could possibly achieve this!
However, at that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared and quickly approached from a distance.
Eight men carried a palanquin, on which sat an elderly man in a Buddhist robe, and the calls of the palanquin bearers could be faintly heard.
"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power! The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power!"
Everyone was stunned.
Could it be the legendary powerhouse from the previous era, the Starry Sky Immortal, who has arrived?
