Chapter 1083: Being Controlled by Others (Part )
"Master Yan Ling's kindness is hard to refuse, how dare Yun refuse? However, the 'Eradication of Traitors Conference' has just ended, and the situation in Luoyang City is unclear. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble... we should not stay here for long, and we must return to Danfeng Garden before dawn. I hope Master Yan Ling will understand the difficulties."
"I understand! I definitely understand!"
Accompanied by a seemingly casual greeting, Yan Wuji personally served Yun Zhuiyue a cup of tea, and then both parties sat down as host and guest.
Shao Yuanqing and Huo Biao were at loggerheads as soon as they met, and the two groups were extremely unhappy, but it did not affect Yan Wuji and Yun Zhuiyue at all, who were chatting and laughing and treating each other with respect.
"This Luoyang general is a man who likes to show off his knowledge of culture, so the fragrant tea collected in the general's mansion has a unique flavor. Lord Yun may want to try it."
"Master Yan Ling, you and I are family. As for the situation on the scene...why don't we just stop talking about it and get straight to the point?"
“That’s great!” Yan Wuji’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to approve of Yun Zhuiyue’s straightforwardness. “Saint Master Yun is indeed a martial arts hero. He is so quick to speak. I admire him!”
"Master Yan Ling is so flattering, are you making fun of me?"
"If anyone dares to make fun of Saint Yun, I will be the first to disagree." Yan Wuji waved his hand solemnly, and then changed the subject, "To be honest, I invited Saint Yun here late at night for two reasons. First, to ask Saint Yun to solve my doubts. Second, to seek advice from Saint Yun..."
"Master Yan Ling..."
"Saint Lord Yun, please be patient!" Yan Wuji waved his hand to interrupt Yun Zhuiyue's questioning, and continued, "Here, I must explain clearly to Saint Lord Yun first to avoid misunderstandings. None of these two things are my 'private affairs', they are all out of a 'public heart'. The content of our discussion below is also not out of my 'personal feelings', all are official comments, and we will discuss the matter. In short, what I thought and did tonight was only to be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the Khan in the future, and to preserve the impression and status of Saint Lord Yun in the Khan's heart. Apart from that, I have no other request."
Yan Wuji's words were sincere and earnest, tactful and moving. If it were someone else, they might have been moved by his "putting themselves in other people's shoes" and would have wanted to open their hearts to him immediately and tell him everything they knew about his doubts.
However, Yan Wuji is an old fox with a dagger hidden in his smile, and Yun Zhuiyue is not an inexperienced young man. Facing Yan Wuji's sweet words, Yun Zhuiyue sneered from the bottom of his heart. Not only did he see through his hypocrisy at a glance, but he also saw through his hypocritical words and understood the intimidation and threats hidden in his flowery words.
Yan Wuji's move was clearly "courtesy before force". No matter how nicely he said it, it could not hide the fact that he was about to bring an army to bear on Yun Zhuiyue.
Yun Zhuiyue saw through it but didn't say anything. Instead, he pretended to be touched and said, "If Master Yan Ling could speak well of me in front of the Khan, I and all the disciples of Longxiang Mountain would be grateful."
"Saint Lord Yun, there's no need to be so formal. We are a family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."
"In that case, I would like to ask Master Yan Ling for your advice." Yun Zhuiyue took the opportunity to make things clear.
"My confusion is not about other things, but about the grand "Eradication of Traitors Conference" yesterday." Yan Wuji said seriously, "Excuse me for being frank, but you and I have already agreed that the Holy Lord Yun will instigate a fight between the Qingfeng faction and the Liu Xunyi faction at the "Eradication of Traitors Conference". When both of them are defeated, we will come forward to reap the benefits. But why is the outcome of the "Eradication of Traitors Conference" so different from what you and I expected?"
"Yesterday's situation changed rapidly and was unpredictable. Both the Qingfeng faction and the Liu Xunyi faction are not fools. Both sides took every step carefully at the 'Anti-Traitor Conference', and were extremely cautious in every attempt. It seemed that they had never intended to die together from the beginning. In this case, even if Yun used all his skills, it would probably be a drop in the bucket and there is no way to provoke a war." Yun Zhuiyue seemed to have expected Yan Wuji to ask this question, so he was calm and answered fluently, "Besides, Yun dare not reveal too many flaws in public. If it arouses suspicion from others, not only will it fail to achieve the goal, but it will also cause trouble..."
“Isn’t that right?” Long Yu squinted at Yun Zhuiyue, who was speaking confidently. He looked doubtful. “Why does the explanation given by Saint Yun seem to me to be…evasive?”
"how do I say this?"
"As far as I know, the two sides were at a stalemate and were about to fight to the death. However, unexpectedly, at the critical moment, someone jumped out and interfered, which brought this tense 'good show' to an abrupt end." Having said this, Long Yu pointed the dagger in his hand at Yun Zhuiyue and said gloomily, "And the person who deliberately disrupted the situation... is you."
"Bastard!"
Seeing Long Yu's rude remarks to Yun Zhuiyue, Shao Yuanqing, who was already full of anger, became furious again. He stood up suddenly and walked towards Long Yu with a menacing look, who was in a lazy posture but spoke sharply.
"Don't be rude..."
"call!"
"boom!"
"Crack!"
Before Yun Zhuiyue could say anything to stop him, a chair suddenly flew down from mid-air and hit Shao Yuanqing in the face.
Shao Yuanqing snorted angrily, and the copper hammer in his hand shot up into the sky, instantly smashing the whistling armchair into pieces, turning it into pieces of broken wood that scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, Ya Kun, who was as tall as an iron tower, stood quietly in front of Shao Yuanqing. His huge figure was like an insurmountable mountain, blocking his way.
The chair just now was made by Ya Kun. As for Long Yu, he was not in a hurry from beginning to end. He still crossed his feet and shook his legs, looking carefree and unconcerned.
"A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of my way if you know what's best for you!"
However, facing Shao Yuanqing's stern threats, Ya Kun, shaking his head, ignored them. His thick-skinned face, with strange facial features twisted together in a weird way, had a hideous and terrifying expression.
"Don't be a fucking toast and then refuse a punishment..." When the furious Shao Yuanqing subconsciously reached out to push Ya Kun, Ya Kun did not avoid it but instead grabbed Shao Yuanqing's wrist tightly.
In an instant, an unbearable powerful force ran along his muscles and crushed towards his bones. The waves of severe pain that came like a violent storm shocked Shao Yuanqing who was caught off guard.
What is even more surprising is that when Shao Yuanqing suddenly came to his senses and secretly used his strength to break free from Ya Kun's restraints, he found that Ya Kun's power seemed endless, far beyond his imagination.
A hand as broad as a palm leaf fan and as rough as tree bark was eager to crush Shao Yuanqing's wrist, causing his meridians and bones to quickly reach their limits. If he delayed any further, his left hand would undoubtedly be disabled.
Watching his left hand turn from red to purple, from purple to white, and finally to black, Shao Yuanqing, anxious and worried, could no longer care about being surprised. He frantically mobilized the vast internal force from his Dantian Qi Sea, but when it reached his wrist, it was like a stone sinking into the sea without causing any ripples, let alone shaking Ya Kun's five fingers that were as indestructible as iron willows and steel pliers.
"What amazing brute force! What kind of monster are you?"
"This man is born with supernatural powers. You must not fight him head-on. Attack his vital points quickly..."
"Shut up!"
Before Si Wudao, Tang Xuan and Wuming, who shared the same hatred for the enemy, could take action, Yun Zhuiyue, who was secretly angry, suddenly let out a thunderous roar.
Then, he flew up one step ahead of others and instantly rushed to the side of Shao Yuanqing. He waved his right hand forward, releasing a strong and fierce internal force, and forcibly pushed the motionless Ya Kun back half a step.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was stunned, Yun Zhuiyue's left hand grabbed Shao Yuanqing's right shoulder like an eagle's claw and pulled it back suddenly. The strong and swift force made Shao Yuanqing's left hand instantly break free from Ya Kun's grip, and the hand bones that were almost squeezed and deformed made a terrifying "crackling" sound.
"hiss!"
Everything sounds slow, but in fact it happens in the blink of an eye.
Yun Zhuiyue "killed two birds with one stone". Rescuing Shao Yuanqing was not surprising, but his move of repelling the powerful Ya Kun undoubtedly caused an uproar in the hearts of Yan Wuji, Hu Zhen and others.
At this moment, not only Ya Kun was caught off guard, but Long Yu, who was sitting beside him and gloating, also had his smile frozen, and the look he gave Yun Zhuiyue became more intriguing.
Little did people know that in the past at the Tianlong Inn, Liu Xunyi, Murong Bai and Qin Ku could not shake Ya Kun's power even with their combined efforts, and now he was actually pushed back half a step by Yun Zhuiyue alone. How could this not be surprising?
Looking at Shao Yuanqing who “survived the catastrophe”, he shook his almost unconscious left hand vigorously while cursing loudly: “What a monster who doesn’t understand human language! I will peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and break your bones…”
"Snapped!"
Before Shao Yuanqing could finish his words, Yun Zhuiyue raised his hand angrily and slapped him hard in the face without mercy.
"How shameless! You have brought shame upon Longxiang Mountain!"
"Holy Lord, I was careless just now and let that brute force monster take the lead..."
"You still dare to quibble?"
Yun Zhuiyue's eyes turned cold, and Shao Yuanqing, who was both anxious and annoyed, was immediately frightened and his face changed. He swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.
"You were impulsive, reckless, stupid as a pig, and shameless! Shao Yuanqing, get out of here and reflect on yourself. If you dare to be rude again, I will peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and break your bones!"
"Holy Lord, please calm down. I...know my mistake."
The habit formed over the years made all the disciples of Longxiang Mountain have a deep respect for Yun Zhuiyue. Therefore, Shao Yuanqing did not dare to disobey Yun Zhuiyue's orders. Even if he was reluctant in his heart, he could only step aside obediently.
"Roar!"
When Yun Zhuiyue was righteously teaching Shao Yuanqing a lesson, who was full of grievances, Ya Kun, who was still not satisfied, had already pulled out the two giant axes from his waist and walked up to Yun Zhuiyue with his teeth bared.
"Holy Lord, be careful..."
"shut up!"
Yun Zhuiyue ignored Si Wudao's reminder without even turning his head, and then looked expressionlessly at the "giant" in front of him who was much taller, stronger, and more ferocious than himself. His words were still plain, but his tone was extremely cold.
"Why? You still want to fight?"
