Chapter 334 Heart's Desire
Who are you?
Sometimes the difference between masters lies only in a little hesitation. Whether it is Lu Mengqing towards Song Mingke at this moment, or Song Mingke towards Lu Mengqing at this moment.
But there were two knives, without hesitation.
"puff!"
Two long knives pierced through the chest at the same time. Bixiao, hiding in the darkness, clapped his hands. No one noticed that she had been hiding there.
“Cough…cough cough!”
"Save your energy, Master Lu. The knife is poisonous. I dare not take it lightly against a master like you." Bi Xiao smiled sweetly and looked at Song Mingke again, "It was a good opportunity just now, why didn't you take action?"
"Why didn't you do it while she asked that question and was waiting for your answer?"
Song Mingke's face is hidden behind Ye Xing's mask. His pupils trembled when he saw Lu Mengqing fall to the ground.
The master who had been standing in front of him, like the judge of his life, fell down. How many times, Song Mingke was afraid that she would reveal her identity, how many times, Song Mingke hated her for never trusting him from beginning to end, how many times, Song Mingke was heartbroken that she remained silent when Guan Yu and others made things difficult for him, allowing the rumors in the sect to speculate again and again on the reason why he lost the position of the first disciple.
And before that, before he knew his life experience and sensed her vigilance, how many times had Song Mingke practiced the guqin under the pear tree in Sidao until his fingers became red, swollen and bleeding, just because he was so grateful to her, respected her and wanted to be her pride.
Looking back now, those beautiful memories of the relationship between master and disciple have become as vague as ripples in a pool of water thousands of years ago. Even the oldest pear tree on Sidao Island turned into a dead tree at the turn of the last winter and spring. The young man playing the zither under the tree took off his white clothes, and a sword was hidden in the zither that carried the beautiful music. From then on, there was no possibility of turning back.
But why did he remember it again at this moment? He thought of the flowering season of the pear tree, the petals that had fallen on the strings of the zither, and his own red, swollen, bloodshot fingertips...
Because of Lu Mengqing, she didn't even have to ask the question "Who are you?"
She knew who he was the moment she saw his back!
"Song Mingke."
Yanyunlou is good at music, and Song Mingke is proficient in the eight tones and is familiar with the texture of each syllable. But he had never heard any syllable as resounding as the one of his name at that moment.
Like a death knell, like the guillotine's rapidly falling blade.
There is no need to cover up now. Song Mingke raised his head and heard Bixiao pointing at Lu Mengqing who was lying on the ground: "She is not dead yet, kill her."
At that moment, Song Mingke seemed to hear something shattering.
Song Mingke tried hard to let out a cold laugh: "Are you kidding?"
"Kill her, and you will be the next leader of Yanyun Tower. Song Mingke, judging from your current performance, your sincerity is far from enough!" Bixiao said, "It is human nature for everyone to have illusions about the feelings they thought they once had - even if you already know the cruel truth behind it. But since you want to achieve great things and take back everything that belongs to you, you must make a break with the past."
"Bixiao, are you crazy? She can't die here. It is understandable that Guan Yu died at the hands of the demons. With her strength, how could she be killed by ordinary demons without any preparation? Who will believe your story?" Song Mingke retorted fiercely, and even he himself did not dare to say whether his rebuttal was based on logic or other emotions.
"Haha..." Bi Xiao smiled softly, "Of course they will believe it. Because today's story is more than that. The Demon King will attack the palace, and the royal family and the people of the Immortal Sect will all die at the hands of the Demon King. The remnants of the Immortal Sect will break out of the siege under your leadership. You will join hands with the Crescent Moon Sect to perform a play and severely injure the Demon King. After that, you will be the new hero of the entire Immortal World."
Song Mingke was stunned. At that moment, he suddenly realized something: "Is this your arrangement? Did you and Jiang Duo... collude?"
Bixiao smiled but said nothing. Song Mingke said: "This is impossible... How could you do this? How could Jiang Duo join forces with you?!"
"The so-called Demon Lord is nothing but a coward who is afraid of death. Having been suppressed under the mountain for hundreds of years, he is more afraid of his own death than anyone else - especially after he witnessed his grandfather's failed ascension and the explosion that wiped out the world. Now, with most of his power taken away by the Lord of Zhaoye Mountain, he is nothing but a stray dog." Bixiao said, "However, it is still easy for him to kill ordinary cultivators. He Yin and Pei Shiqi - have you heard of these two names?"
Fine beads of cold sweat oozed out from Song Mingke's palms. Bi Xiao said: "These two people have bad luck. They came to the human world to investigate the difficulty of recruiting students for the cram school, but they didn't understand the truth that curiosity killed the cat - they ran into the scene of our communication with Jiang Duo. Now, no one even knows the whereabouts of their bodies. Song Mingke..."
"—You knew He Yin before, right?"
Song Mingke knew what Bixiao meant.
She was threatening.
Pei Shiqi is from Qingji Sect, so why is he from Yanyun Tower? It was easy for them to kill these two people.
It would be easy for them to kill Song Mingke.
The person who appeared in front of Song Mingke and negotiated with him was Bixiao. But in this dark night, there are still many of their people.
Song Mingke finally walked up to Lu Mengqing holding the dagger. Lu Mengqing's cheeks had turned gray and black due to the poisoning, and his lips were moving as he muttered something.
They wanted Song Mingke to kill Lu Mengqing with his own hands, just to get him to surrender.
"If..." Song Mingke's Adam's apple rolled, "If I kill Lu Mengqing, can you really guarantee that I will not be harmed in this incident?"
"Yes."
"As long as I kill Lu Mengqing, can you really guarantee that I will become the next owner of Yanyun Tower? In addition, because of you, I will indirectly establish a cooperative relationship with Jiang Duo and consolidate my own power. You will completely control the human world and take control of the dragon veins originally controlled by the Fang family royal family, and I can also..."
At this moment, Song Mingke flashed behind Bixiao. He used the dagger to try to get close to Bixiao's throat.
But he failed.
There were indeed many people lying in ambush in the dark. The dark shadows grabbed his limbs like hands.
Bixiao looked at him with pity. She watched as Song Mingke's throat was tightly gripped by a dark hand until his face turned blue and purple. She said, “Why would you do this when you know there are so many benefits?”
Song Mingke was also trembling.
Yeah, why do that?
Perhaps it was because, at that moment, he saw the shape of the dying Lu Mengqing's lips.
She did not beg for mercy or plead. The proud and stubborn owner of Yanyun Tower remained unyielding until the end of her life.
But she said to Song Mingke: "I'm sorry."
He traveled a long way and hated many people. But in the end, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered the sect. At that time, Lu Mengqing had not yet established a firm foothold in Yanyun Tower. Seeing that he was afraid of those people who intended to rebel on Jindao Island, she said contemptuously: "Why are you afraid of them? These rebels will be wiped out by us sooner or later."
He still remembered that the senior sister was worried at that time. She advised Lu Mengqing not to kill all those people. After all, they were all from the same school. And to be honest, Lu Mengqing's means of getting to the top were not glorious, and he had done something unfair to them.
But Lu Mengqing is always stubborn. She said: "That was stupid of them. They wanted things that they couldn't get by themselves, but their determination was not strong enough and their methods were not decisive enough. They should have known that this would be their end."
But now, Lu Mengqing said to him: "I'm sorry."
The air in my chest began to disappear. Song Mingke saw a revolving lantern flashing before his eyes. He heard Bixiao say, "I'm afraid of trash like you. Even my hatred is not pure."
Then, she turned to her men and said, "These people are useless. What are Ning Mingmei and Qi Miancheng doing? If there is anyone else in this world who can influence our plan...it can only be these two people."
Song Mingke, who wanted to be the young man in white in front of everyone all his life, uttered his last words to her at this moment.
"Go to hell," he said.
At this moment, a white light flashed.
Someone cut off the black hand.
And Song Mingke smelled the scent of blood.
"you……"
"Yeah. Just like you said...it's my bad luck to meet you."
The person standing in front of him said so.
Bixiao opened her eyes wide in surprise because she saw traces of Su Tuo's wound being bandaged. Two other voices also came one after another at this moment.
"It's so lively tonight! But I'm afraid your conspiracy won't succeed!" The girl in men's clothing giggled, "Also, I have good news for you. Pei Shiqi and He Yin are not dead. Next time you choose to dump corpses in the Demon Realm, remember to choose a place where no one passes by."
The two girls surrounding her, one in front and one behind, were the magic cultivator Rong Qi, and the other was Ye Guimu's sister from Qiushi Pavilion, Ye Guijing, who had been accidentally injured and disabled by Rong Qi. Rong Qi said loudly: "I'm afraid things won't go as you wish. The Zijin Army has received the news, and they will block Jiang Duo on his way - there are more people in this world who can be heroes than Ning Xianzun."
——And we who have never been taken seriously by you, and whose destinies were only slightly changed by Immortal Ning.
The current situation was obviously beyond Bixiao's expectations. She frowned and thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "How did you know I was here? It's impossible for outsiders like you to do this. It seems that there is a traitor in our Crescent Moon Church? Who is this person? That's all, it doesn't matter. Do you think that you two alone can break our plan?"
"There are more than just the two of them." Someone said loudly.
A young man in green stepped out from the shadows of the trees. After hearing his voice, Ye Guijing shouted, "Brother!"
"I met Ye Xuefei on the road. She's fast, so I asked her to go find Immortal Ning."
Ye Guimu noticed Bi Xiao's sudden change in expression and sneered, "It seems that you are still only afraid of Immortal Ning, not us."
"Three youngsters, what's the point of mentioning them?"
Bixiao clapped his hands lightly. Several of her men also emerged from the dark shadows. Bi Xiao smiled and said, "It's a bit unfair to win with more people than fewer. If you want to escape now, you still have time."
"It's not three, it's four."
Another person walked out of the darkness. He walked up to Bixiao step by step and looked directly at her and her men.
That man's head was shiny, but it was all in vain.
"I don't know if you still remember me, but I spent many years to finally get to you." He said calmly, "I used to be more afraid than anyone else of the words you left me. You said that one day, I would become the same person as you."
Bixiao asked: "Who are you?"
Kong Huan was not affected at all: "But just like now, people from the demon world and people from the fairy world can stand together, people from the mob will also pass on news to us because of their dissatisfaction with the Crescent Moon Sect, Gui Jing can be cured by the elixir found by Rong Qi, and young people will stand with young people. Bixiao, you will soon understand that the reason for your failure is not because you failed to hide it from big figures like Ning Xianzun and Qi Zhangmen, nor because we successfully passed the news to Ning Xianzun today, and even less because, when Rong Qi rescued Pei Shiqi and He Yin, he already knew your despicable plot and knew that they could help us destroy your conspiracy."
"It's because what you do is not what people want."
"It's not what all little people like us want. So you will never succeed."
