Chapter 487 The Rain Stops
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?"

Hu Yanba took out a ghost-head knife from his waist, looked around with a gloomy face, and shouted angrily: "What kind of hero is it to hide your head and show your tail? Show yourself if you have the guts!"

"call!"

Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, blocking their way up the mountain.

It happened in a flash. Before Huyan Ba ​​and Dong Xiaoer could see the faces of the people coming, two figures floated down the steep mountain wall, blocking their way down the mountain.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the distant cliff, as if the person was frightened by the scene before him.

"Is there anyone else?"

Dong Xiaoer held the red whip tightly in her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from.

A black shadow leaped across the sky and suddenly appeared in the rain and fog. His feet stepped on the rustling leaves, his figure was strange, his steps were light, and he walked down slowly from mid-air as if he was walking down the stairs.

"Crossing the river with a reed?"

Dong Xiaoer recognized the Qinggong used by the last person at a glance, and was immediately shocked and asked in astonishment: "Are you Jiang Yiwei?"

"I am the humble one."

As he was talking, Jiang Yiwei walked up the mountain path as if he was strolling in a garden. At this moment, he was playing with a palm-sized white jade token in his hand, which was the Jade Dragon Token that Dong Xiaoer and Hu Yanba had been thinking about.

"So it was you who deliberately led us to Qianchi Chuang!" Hu Yanba questioned, "Jiang Yiwei, what are your intentions?"

"That's right!" Dong Xiao'er said angrily, "Do you want to destroy the relationship between the Xianwang Mansion and the Yulong Palace?"

However, facing the furious Hu Yanba and Dong Xiaoer, Jiang Yiwei showed a contemptuous smile, as if he was disdainful of them, and bowed to the other three men in black, saying: "So you are the three Taoist priests Gu Yue, Gu Xing and Gu Chen of the Wudang Sect. I am so sorry! I am so sorry! The Palace Master only asked me to lead them to the Qianchi Building, but I didn't know that the three Taoist priests were already waiting here. I hope you can forgive me!"

In fact, Luo Tianjin had already planned a big game with Qingfeng when he was in the Seven Star Tower in Huashan Town. He also borrowed the three great masters Gu Yue, Gu Xing and Gu Chen, and set up an ambush in Qianchi Building. He just waited for Jiang Yiwei to lure the two men here tonight so that they could kill them in one fell swoop.

Qingfeng had long known what Luo Tianjin had done in the past two days. His anger, sorrow, grief and sigh were just acting. Even at critical moments, Qingfeng would often jump out inadvertently, seemingly righteous and well-reasoned, but in fact he was just helping Luo Tianjin to smoothly implement his plan.

"Lord Luo acted so well in this scene that he almost fooled everyone." Gu Yue said calmly.

"We watched Tian Jin grow up. Although he has some moral flaws, he has integrity. How could he risk the world's condemnation and mingle with heretics?" Gu Xing said with a smile.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "After all, he is a fellow Wudang disciple, and we don't want to see him imprisoned, so we will help him if we can."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Yiwei smiled flatteringly and thanked Gu Yue and the other two profusely. "What the three Taoist priests said is very true. Since the Palace Master and Taoist priest Qingfeng have already laid a net, we should do our best to eradicate the heresy."

At this point, Dong Xiaoer and Huyan Ba ​​finally understood the reason, and their faces turned pale and they were furious.

"Hey!" Dong Xiaoer said angrily, "What an ungrateful Luo Tianjin, after taking advantage of us, he wants to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"

"The Palace Master really trusted you wrongly!" Hu Yanba gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known that Luo Tianjin was a despicable hypocrite, I would have joined forces with Jin Fuyu. At least I wouldn't have ended up like this today."

"I just regret that the Palace Master was bewitched by Liu Xunyi's sweet words!" Dong Xiaoer looked angry and regretful, and sighed repeatedly.

Jiang Yiwei grinned and said, "Good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times. The Xianwang Mansion is the righteous martial arts world. How can we allow you pagans to interfere at will?"

"What should we do?" Dong Xiao'er cast an anxious look at Hu Yanba and said worriedly, "They are well prepared. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to escape tonight."

"Since I can't escape, I might as well fight them to the death!" Huyan Ba ​​held the ghost-head knife across his chest, and the muscles on his face trembled violently with anger.

"Okay! Let's fight them!"

Dong Xiaoer let out a delicate cry and waved her arm. The long red whip immediately broke through the air, creating a swift and fierce energy in the rain, and rushed straight towards the nearest lonely moon.

Seeing that Dong Xiao'er and Hu Yanba were about to take the initiative, Gu Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said contemptuously: "The fight of trapped beasts is nothing to be afraid of. Gu Xing, Gu Chen, let's fight quickly and decisively!"

"I will follow my brother's orders!"

After saying that, Gu Yue, Gu Xing and Gu Chen flashed and instantly turned into three afterimages, heading straight towards Hu Yanba and Dong Xiaoer.

Jiang Yiwei stared at the battle situation with his gloomy eyes, his hands clenched into fists, ready to wait for an opportunity to move.

However, before he could make a move, Gu Yue's voice suddenly came from the battle: "When we came here, we saw Teng Sanshi heading to Longxiang Mountain Villa. I wonder what kind of relationship he has with Yun Zhuiyue? Tomorrow, Lord Luo and Yun Zhuiyue will compete for the position of leader, and there can be no mistakes. To prevent any accidents, you'd better go and find out!"

"But……"

"No buts!" Gu Chen said impatiently, "Leave this to us, we will make sure they can't escape even if they have wings."

"This..." Jiang Yiwei hesitated for a moment, then his eyes became fierce, and he bowed and said, "Thank you three Taoist priests for your help. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Jiang Yiwei no longer hesitated, stepped on the ground, and immediately flew into the air. He tapped his feet on the cliff several times, using the force to fly, and his speed increased by three times, and he disappeared into the end of the night in the blink of an eye.

……

The wind was howling and the rain was dark, the sky was gloomy and the earth was dark.

With complicated thoughts, Liu Xunyi wandered in the mountains for a long time, and finally came to the Yulong Palace Villa.

At this time, his identity was the leader of the Tomb Tiger Banner, so the gatekeeper disciples not only did not dare to make things difficult for him, but were extremely respectful to him.

The journey was smooth all the way until they reached Ren Wuya's room. Looking at the dim light coming through the window, Liu Xunyi's thoughts surged like a tide, with mixed feelings.

In fact, although Ren Wuya was the leader of a heretic, there was no deep hatred between him and Liu Xunyi. If it weren't for their different positions, Liu Xunyi would never want to put him to death.

Especially when Ren Wuya was seriously injured and unable to fight back.

"Master Liu, the Palace Master has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb you during your recovery. Please..."

Before the gatekeeper could finish his words, Liu Xunyi, who was walking close to him, suddenly attacked and knocked down two unsuspecting Yulong Palace disciples to the ground. He took a deep breath, as if trying his best to calm his inner turmoil, and then straightened his eyes, gently pushed with his right hand, and the door opened.

"squeak!"

As he stepped into the room, a strong and pungent smell of medicine hit him in the face, making Liu Xunyi's mouth and nose feel numb, and he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the room was completely silent, as quiet as death.

With a heart full of trepidation, Liu Xunyi walked slowly, making his footsteps as low as possible, but in the quiet room, they were still clearly audible like the sound of a heavy hammer hitting a drum.

His heartbeat gradually quickened, and the pungent smell of medicine became stronger and stronger. When Liu Xunyi walked around the screen, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and his stomach churned, and he almost vomited.

Ren Wuya, with wounds all over his body, was soaking in a bathtub overflowing with mercury, his head tilted to one side, his eyes closed, his breathing intermittent, no one knew whether he was dead or alive?
The mercury was mixed with a turbid and thick yellow-white substance, which was the pus and blood that kept flowing out of Ren Wuya's body, emitting a foul odor.

There was a mountain of medicinal herbs piled up messily next to the bathtub. Some were boiled into bowls of decoctions, while others were thrown directly into the bathtub.

It’s a pity that no matter how many rare treasures there are, they are just a drop in the bucket in front of the seriously injured Ren Wuya, and something is better than nothing.

Ren Wuya's serious injury was undoubtedly related to Luo Tianjin. Now, Luo Tianjin wanted to repay kindness with hatred. Even if he was a heartless person, he would feel a little guilty when seeing the miserable scene before his eyes.

What's more, Ren Wuya and Liu Xunyi are not strangers. The former appreciates him very much and even respects him very much.

While in a trance, Ren Wuya's brows wrinkled slightly, as if his body was suffering from some severe pain, and he couldn't help but let out a wail.

Liu Xunyi had a dull expression, staring blankly at Ren Wuya who was gradually waking up from his coma. His mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to do next.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly strange, and Ren Wuya's breathing became increasingly rapid. After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids trembled slightly a few times, and then slowly opened.

In an instant, Ren Wuya's gaze changed from stagnation to confusion, from confusion to contemplation, and then from contemplation to bitterness.

Suddenly, Ren Wuya realized that there was an uninvited guest standing next to him. A look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes. He turned around hastily and was stunned when he saw Liu Xunyi. Then he hesitated, and finally a deep helplessness emerged between his brows.

"Palace Master Ren..."

"Xunyi grandson..." Before Liu Xunyi could finish his words, Ren Wuya shook his head and interrupted him, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, no need to say more. You... do it!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly changed.

It seemed that Ren Wuya had guessed his purpose.

"Palace Master Ren, how... did you know?"

"I ordered no one to disturb you, but you are standing in front of me safe and sound, while Dong Xiao'er and Hu Yanba are nowhere to be found..." Ren Wuya said with a wry smile, "No need to ask, Luo Tianjin must have used a trick to lure them away, and then let you kill me."

"I……"

Liu Xunyi was confused and incoherent, and he stammered for a long time without being able to say anything further.

"No need to hesitate. In fact, I had already expected this result." Ren Wuya said self-deprecatingly, "Today, I asked Dong Xiaoer and Hu Yanba to admit defeat voluntarily, in order to preserve their strength in case of any unexpected events. Unfortunately... I lost my mind for a moment and thought that Luo Tianjin would keep his word, so I fought to the death with Yun Zhuiyue on the sword-fighting stage. It's all my own fault. Don't blame others. If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being as ruthless as Luo Tianjin, cough cough..."

Accompanied by a violent cough, a stream of blood spurted out of Ren Wuya's mouth.

“In fact, the moment Yun Zhuiyue and I were both injured, I had already guessed Luo Tianjin’s next move, which would be to put away the bow after the bird is dead and cook the dog away after the rabbit is dead.” Ren Wuya’s voice became weaker and weaker, his eyes became more and more blurred, and he almost staggered and was about to die.

"Why?"

"Because if it were me, I would do the same..." Ren Wuya said, "Forget it! One wrong move, and the whole game is lost. I am really getting old and confused. If it were me back then, how could I have easily believed Luo Tianjin's 'promise'? Ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another rapid and violent coughing, followed by streams of thick blood foam spurting out of his mouth and nose.

This situation made Liu Xunyi feel as if his heart was blocked and he was overwhelmed.

"Actually..." Ren Wuya's voice was trembling, "Actually, if you don't come to kill me, I won't live much longer..."

"Palace Master Ren, I..." Liu Xunyi didn't dare to look directly into Ren Wuya's eyes, and stammered, "I'm sorry..."

"Looking for my grandson..." Ren Wuya's lips trembled violently, and his breath became weaker and weaker. "Although you only worshipped me as your adopted ancestor for show, I have no children in my life. If I can recognize a grandson before I die... I will die without regrets. I... have nothing else to ask for, but one last wish..."

Having finished speaking, Ren Wuya's voice was as thin as a mosquito's thread, almost inaudible.

"Palace Master Ren!"

Seeing Ren Wuya in danger, Liu Xunyi's heart sank. To make up for his guilt, he quickly approached Ren Wuya and asked anxiously, "If you have any wishes, just tell me. I will do my best."

"This old man... this old man's wish is..."

Ren Wuya closed his eyes slightly and it became increasingly difficult for him to speak.

In order to hear Ren Wuya's last wish clearly, Liu Xunyi had to half-kneel beside the bathtub, put his ear forward, and listen carefully with full concentration.

However, just as Liu Xunyi was waiting intently for the last words, Ren Wuya, whose life was hanging by a thread, suddenly opened his eyes, and two terrifying, cold and piercing rays of light, like two sharp swords, shot out from his pupils.

"Crack!"

"puff!"

At the same time, Ren Wuya's right hand, which was soaked in mercury, instantly bent into a claw, pierced through the bathtub with the force of thunder, and his five fingers fiercely penetrated into the lower abdomen of the unsuspecting Liu Xunyi.

"My wish is to personally kill you, a bastard with a sweet mouth and a sharp tongue, a wolf's heart and a dog's behavior!"
