Estranged

Chapter 149: If you are not talented, you will be bri

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Li didn't raise his head.

The disheveled hair covered his slightly drooping face, as well as all his anger and expression. It was like a puppet, which was dragged out by others and pushed onto the cliff by his beloved relatives.

In Changming's known past, this scene did not happen.

According to the original history, after Luomei Feisheng failed to seize Jiangli, she has always appeared as Jiangli. In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Li took over the mantle and handprint from the great disciple of the Wanjian Immortal Sect and became the suzerain. The dominance of one person paved the way for the chess game he set up later, and the name Yao Wangnian never appeared.

When many people have forgotten or died, almost no one remembers the doubts and flaws of Luomei's early years.

Only Chang Ming and the others survived after they died and returned to the past to uncover these dusty past events and secrets.

Jiufang Changming, who was supposed to be in the limelight, has been completely overshadowed at this moment.

All eyes fell on the heavy-footed figure with iron chains dragging the ground, like real light, piercing and tearing, causing the person's motionless head to vibrate slightly, and he raised his head.

Through the messy hair, even Chang Ming couldn't tell whether Jiang Li was awake or in a coma.

"A few years ago, when I practiced in closed doors, I handed over the affairs of the sect to my disciple Jiangli, and ordered him to act as the suzerain temporarily. I thought it would be safe, but one day the sect broke through and reported that Jiang Li had left for no reason. The mountain is completely missing."

Accompanied by Master Luomei's voice, the whispers gradually quieted down, and many eyes shifted from Jiang Li to him.

Luomei on the high platform, with fluttering clothes and stretched sleeves, doesn't need to use much force to speak, and her face is always calm, but her tone has an inexplicable appeal, unconsciously casting a haze of pity, substituting into it , listen carefully.

This is the highest state of sound transmission and heart-stimulating. It is superb and empathetic. It is impossible for ordinary people to notice it as if they are in the real scene.

Jiufang Changming looked at Ouyang, Ren Yusu and others from a distance.

Sure enough, Ouyang frowned slightly, Ren Yusu wanted to move, but was held down by him.

Next to it was Qingyun Temple and several other masters, more or less aware of it.

But they didn't want to meddle in their own business, and they all maintained the attitude of watching him become cold-eyed, and monks like Xia Zheng and Li Muxing were defenseless, and fell into the trap immediately.

Jiufang Changming thought that if it wasn't for the sake of completely eliminating future troubles, Luomei might not have chosen to be here today. This was too hasty for Luomei, who was meticulous and tight-lipped. But Luomei had no choice. The incident in Hongluo Town exposed Yao Wangnian, and forced Luomei to cut the mess quickly, lest Yao Wangnian, a pawn, ruin her future plans.

"Everyone knows that Jiang Li is not only a poor disciple, but also the acting suzerain of the Wanjian Immortal Sect. When this incident happened, there was a lot of shock. I had to go down the mountain to look for him, until I found my unworthy disciple in Hongluo Town. In the past, Yao Wangnian, a traitor from the Japanese sect, colluded together. Speaking of Yao Wangnian, this is also a pain in my heart. There are only two direct disciples under my sect, but because of going astray, they colluded with demons and caused great disaster. My disciples It is not strict, so that there are consequences. Today, in front of everyone, our sect will deal with the rebels and give an explanation to those who died yesterday. After this incident, the poor Taoist will also step aside and retreat, and will no longer interfere with the affairs of the sect."

After Luomei finished speaking, she turned her palm up, and a sword light appeared in her hand immediately.

If the moon hangs alone, and the sky should be dark, this is the Guyue Sword handed down by the successive lords of the Wanjian Immortal Sect to their disciples.

This sword was in Yao Wangnian's hands before, and later it was given to Jiang Li, and now it is back in Luomei's hands.

Different people use this sword, and the effects are naturally quite different. In Luomei, the Guyue Sword burst out with a fierce momentum and sharpness that had never been seen before. It flew into the air and hovered far above Jiang Li's head. It may fall and pierce the opponent's sky cap.

And Jiang Li, who was entangled in iron chains, was forced to kneel on the ground of the Eight Diagrams in the center of the square. The disciples on the left and right had already left, but he was unable to struggle to escape. , but they were so far away that even Chang Ming couldn't tell whether he spoke or not, and what he said.

The iron chain was also trembling, but there was a magical talisman on it, this little struggle would not work at all, and Jiang Li's struggle was doomed to be in vain.

In a trance, he heard a familiar voice, if it was far away or near, if there seemed to be nothing, it was Master Luomei, his most respected and beloved teacher and relative.

Those needle-like gazes fell on him, but he didn't seem to notice, only the voice of the master became more and more clear.

When he went down the mountain, he never expected that he would end up like this.

His reputation was ruined, and he died without a place to bury him.

He used to have a bright future. As the first major disciple of Wanjian Immortal Sect, he also acted as the suzerain. Sooner or later, the suzerain will become the suzerain. But all this is now ruined because he wanted to pursue the truth, but Jiang Li did not expect that , The resistance he encountered was so great that he even lost his life.

Jiang Li suddenly remembered what Yun Weisi said when he was in Hongluo Town. He said that Luomei killed Yao Wangnian and would kill Jiang Li again in the future. Let Jiang Li be the suzerain. Convenience, without anyone noticing, Jiang Li was skeptical, he didn't want to believe that the person he revered and respected since childhood was actually a demon in human skin.

But now he believed it.

He raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the condescending Luomei from a distance. The two masters and apprentices were in very different situations.

Jiang Li seemed to see the complex expression in Luo Mei's eyes, which made the other party hesitate to cut off the sword.

He smiled bleakly, with a heart-piercing faint arc at the corner of his mouth.

Luo Mei may have some feelings for him as a disciple, but this old feeling is far less than the overall situation in the other party's heart.

The sword light suddenly brightened, filling the entire line of sight.

Jiang Li closed his eyes, waiting for the almost predictable ending.

Jiufang Changming's fingers moved slightly, but his expression and figure hardly changed. Like all the onlookers, he was surprised and curious, but he didn't show any abnormality.

He felt that Luomei would not kill Jiang Li so easily, because the other party wanted to use Jiang Li as bait to catch bigger fish.

Sure enough, the sword light flashed, Jiang Li moaned in pain, blood spilled from his arm, splashing bright red like ink on the ground.

Bone wounds can be seen in the depths, but they are not fatal, just torture.

The entire Zhengrong Mountain Villa seemed to fall into silence for a moment, but so many people didn't say a word, they didn't even whisper to each other, and the hustle and bustle of not long ago was gone.

Only one person spoke out in this eerie silence.

"You say that Jiang Li colluded with demons, do you have evidence?"

It is Ren Yusu, the suzerain of Kunlun Sword Sect.

Ouyang couldn't hold him down and sighed secretly.

Luo Mei also sighed: "Fellow Daoist Ren hasn't seen the situation where he changed his temperament and started killing yesterday, so whatever."

He waved his sleeve towards Jiang Li and flicked it in the air, and black air instantly evaporated from Jiang Li's body, turning into a ferocious ghost in mid-air, baring its teeth and claws.

"Hiss!" Lin Wenyu gasped, "Is he possessed by demonic energy?"

Most of the people reacted similarly to him.

He didn't intend to get a response to his exclamation, but someone answered him.

"It's not demonic energy possessing the body, but someone locks the demonic energy on the iron chain and moves according to the situation. When you want others to see it, others will naturally be able to see it."

Lin Wenyu subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"

Jiufang Changming didn't seem to hear his doubts at all: "Look at the northeast corner."

That was Xun's position. Lin Wenyu couldn't see why they were staying in the direction they were originally staying in, but Li Muxing vaguely noticed something unusual.

"It seems that there is a slight fluctuation?"

Jiufang Changming: "That's a flaw in the formation. If you want to break through the formation, it's best to come in from there."

Lin Wenyu was suspicious: "Why do you want to break the formation?"

Jiufang Changming: "Because that's a loophole deliberately left by the master to attract people in."

Lin Wenyu still didn't understand why, but Li Muxing already heard that there was something in his words.

"Sun Daoyou, what do you mean, Sect Master Jiang...he may have accomplices to rescue him? That's why Master Luomei chooses to deal with it here and lure his accomplices out?"

"Li Daoyou is smart."

Before Li Muxing thought about it further, his feet trembled, and there was a huge fluctuation of spiritual power in the northeast corner, and the monks who were close to it subconsciously took a few steps back, revealing their weapons.

But what hit their faces was the cold air that they had never expected!

Everyone couldn't help the drastic change of expression, showing a look of horror.

"My magic weapon!" Someone yelled.

Everyone followed the reputation, and saw that the frosty blade in the man's hand suddenly shattered when the black air hit, and even the man's hands were all blackened. The other party was startled and then angry, and rushed towards the source of the black mist.

The dense black mist gradually dissipated, revealing a figure in a black robe.

Most of the people present were absolutely unfamiliar with this figure.

Except for Jiufang Changming and Daoist Luomei.

The ghostly aura in front of Yao Wangnian made people look pale. Wherever he went, others retreated one after another, and more monks surrounded him, but they were afraid.

On the high platform, several grandmasters stood up one after another, their faces solemn.

"Where did the Ghost Cultivator come from?!"

"It's unreasonable, Qianlinhui is a place where young people can come and go whenever they want!" Village Master Liu was even more furious.

At this moment, Ouyang heard Ren Yusu muttering to himself.

"How do I think this person is familiar?"

Ouyang looked intently, and sure enough, he also felt that he was an old friend.

But the other party's face was covered by a burqa, only his chin was exposed from top to bottom, and the aura around him returned like a ghost. He really couldn't think of any old acquaintance he had that was actually a ghost cultivator.

"Jiang Li was wronged." The man said quietly, the voice came to everyone's ears, like a ghost, like a ghost, cold to the bone. "His only fault is that he loves his master very much. He didn't want to believe the true face of the master, so he insisted on inquiring in person, but he ended up today. Luo Mei, you dreamed back at midnight, thinking of your two apprentices, would you know?" Is there even the slightest bit of emotion?"

"I remembered..." Ren Yousu was shocked, "He is Yao Wangnian!"

As soon as the name Yao Wangnian came out, even the real Luomei who was not far away was disturbed.

"Who is Yao Wangnian?"

"Really Luomei has two apprentices, Yao Wangnian and Jiang Li. Back then, Yao Wangnian was much more popular than Fu Dongyuan or Sun Wuxia today. He is truly the proud son of heaven!"

"Didn't he die strangely, why is he still here?"

"What does he mean, Master Luomei wants to attack his apprentice?"

Humming, buzzing, the sound changed from loud to quiet, and then from small to loud, instantly deriving various contents in everyone's hearts.

Master Luomei's face was pale.

"It's fine if you are willing to show up. Your junior brother was harmed by you like this. There is no other way to be a teacher, but to punish the evil and eradicate the evil, and do justice for the heavens. Good and evil are inherently changeable, humans and devils are incompatible, Wanjian Xianzong , absolutely cannot tolerate disciples colluding with monsters!"

When he said the last sentence, his complexion changed abruptly, and he was abnormally sharp, and his figure jumped up, gliding towards Yao Wangnian's direction.

At the same time, the Guyue sword hovering above Jiang Li's head also fell heavily, Jiang Li could not move, and could only wait for death.

If Yao Wangnian wanted to save Jiang Li, he had to show his back and die on the spot. If he wanted to resist the blow of Master Luo Mei, he would not be able to take into account the dying Jiang Li.

Jiang Li is very important to him, not only the friendship from childhood to adulthood, but also the personal witness of Yao Wangnian's suffering, because Jiang Li's fate is almost exactly the same as his!

The only difference is that when Jiang Li's tragedy happened, he was still able to stand up and stop it, but when Yao Wangnian himself suffered an accident and was plotted to death by his master, no one could help him.

When Jiang Li was alive, there were people who fought side by side with him against Luo Mei. If Jiang Li died, he would face the whole world alone as before.

More importantly, I have fallen to this point, my appearance is completely ruined, and I am reincarnated as a ghost. I am alone and have nothing to worry about, but Jiang Li still has hope. alive.

At that moment, Yao Wangnian had already made a decision.

The monstrous ghostly aura condensed around him, and suddenly pushed towards Gu Yuejian!

Yao Wangnian died, and Jiang Li was next.

As long as these two hidden dangers are removed, there will be no more variables.

The spiritual power is like a huge wave, covering the sky, sweeping torrentially, boundless, making people feel desperate.

This kind of power should destroy the world.

Spiritual power and ghost energy intertwined, the wind danced wildly, the sand and stones suddenly rose, and the eyes were chaotic. Everyone had to stabilize their bodies to avoid being pushed away.

This is Luomei's true strength!

Ren Yusu and Ouyang changed their faces, the latter wanted to stop Luomei, no matter what, the matter was suspicious, and now it had changed from the internal affairs of Wanjian Xianzong to the invasion of demons, Ouyang felt that he could not just watch Luomei kill people.

But just as he made the move, Liu Zhengling, the owner of Zhengrong Mountain Villa, also moved. He directly held his sword in front of Ouyang, blocking the opponent's way.

"What is the intention of the Ouyang government master?"

"Master Liu, please step aside!" Ouyang frowned.

"A real person is enough, lest it will affect the innocent, it is better for the palace master to sit on the sidelines and do not need to take action."

"If I can't make a move, Master Liu has no right to interfere."

"This is Wanjian Xianzong's family business!"

Ouyang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just flicked his sleeves away, Liu Zhengling naturally didn't dare to take advantage of him, but after such a short delay, Luomei's tentacles of spiritual power had already reached Yao Wanghou's back!

Yao Wangnian is sure to die, there is no way to recover from it!

Jiang Li suddenly raised his head and looked straight in Yao Wangnian's direction, his expression was miserable, his body trembled violently, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles all over his body, but with all his strength, he could only watch his brother die tragically.

No, there is one more person who can be saved.

Luo Mei only felt the terrifying spiritual power suddenly coming from behind her, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and her cultivation level seemed to be no less than his. Luo Mei had to withdraw her hands and turn around to deal with the sneak attack from behind.

A figure descended from the sky, and the two spiritual forces collided head-on, and the aftermath caused the two of them to fly back at the same time. When they landed, the bricks and stones under their feet shattered inch by inch, spreading several feet away.

Luomei narrowed her eyes.

He could feel the great pressure coming towards his face, and he felt that the enemy in his life was the only one.

But standing opposite him was "Sun Wuxia" who had just made a big splash at the Qianlin meeting.

"You, are, who?" Luo Mei asked word by word.

He thought of Jiufang Changming, who he had fought against in Hongluo Town, but at that time the other party never had such deep and pure power.

"A mere lack of talent can lead to bright future in nine directions."

The other party reached out and brushed his face, his face seemed to change, but his hair color turned from ink to frost in an instant, it was Jiufang Changming.

"Impossible." Luo Mei said in a low voice, not thinking that he was a fake, but thinking that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to advance by leaps and bounds and reach such a level in just a few days.

If Jiufang Changming in Hongluo Town was just an opponent worthy of serious attention, then Jiufang Changming standing opposite him now is a terrifying enemy that even Luomei has no chance of winning!
