Young Master Han and Ah Bi decided to rush to the Tian Ji Cave first. If Senior Sister Li Mo were to rush before everyone and kill someone in the Tian Ji Cave, the two of them could stop her first and investigate the culprit behind this conspiracy.
However, if one thought about it carefully, most of this had to do with the Demonic Sect. The Devil King Stronghold had been slaughtered in one night and Li Mo had appeared, but how could all the heroes of the martial arts world have arrived at the same time just because of this?
Moreover, when the people who came saw that the Devil King's stronghold had been razed to the ground, they started to stir up trouble. They pointed their spears at the Heaven Demon Sect as if all of this was done by them.
The Demonic Sect had a strange behavior in the southern border, they were not accepted by the martial world, they were always regarded as demons. The Demonic Sect's martial arts were also very powerful, they had always been arrogant, and even the people of the Demonic Sect did not want to be part of it.
"Senior Sister A'Bi, we have to leave Darkya Town as soon as possible. If we delay it, Senior Sister Li Mo might be set up by someone!" Young Master Han quickly told Ah Bi.
Although Li Sandao was astonished, he mustered up his courage and said, "If the two of you go to the Cave of Heavenly Secrets, you will definitely fall into someone else's trap, or someone else might be waiting for you two to crawl into their pockets!"
"Hmm?" Ah Bi and Yun Zheng were stunned for a moment as their gazes focused on Li Sandao.
Li Sandao chuckled and said, "You so-called martial artists have nothing to do with my, Li Sandao's, revenge. However, since I am from the public, I have no choice but to take care of these thirty-one lives!"
"So what?" A'Bi coldly snorted. Her eyes were full of murderous intent.
Li Sandao was unafraid as he continued, "Although the Jiang family is not a large family in the town of Langya, they have always been a kind and generous family, with a good name spread all over a hundred miles. Plus, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi Hang, is also a disciple of the Confucian school.
When Young Master Han heard this, he could not help but ponder for a moment. This black-clothed man had disguised himself as a disciple of the Demonic Sect to kill a disciple of the Confucian Sect. He was obviously trying to draw aggro from the Demonic Sect.
It was no coincidence that the Heavenly Demon Sect was already trapped. Could it be the Imperial Court?
Thinking of this, Young Master Han hastily cupped his hands towards Li Sandao and said, "Big Brother Li, since you are a member of the government, have you heard of any imperial edicts recently concerning the martial arts faction?"
Li Sandao thought for a moment and replied, "There is one thing. It was sent to the capital a few months ago and an imperial edict was given to the magistrate court. If there is a battalion requesting cooperation, they must do their best to help. Otherwise, we will punish them for conspiring against us!
It had to be known that when the imperial government ordered the fall of the Great Qin Empire a hundred years ago, it was also the imperial court that ordered the martial arts world to submit to it. The Liu Clan took the opportunity to take control of the River Mountain Society.
"The Southern Wilderness is thousands of miles away from the imperial city of Chang'an. It is said that many of the disciples of the Confucian School have also come! " Li Sandao's gaze shifted to Young Master Han, his expression flickering.
Young Master Han saw that Li Sandao's words were flickering and could not help but sneer. "Big Brother Li, just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating? Isn't it straightforward enough?"
Hearing this, Li Sandao paused for a moment. He first glanced at Ah Bi before cautiously speaking, "There's an imperial edict: 'Repel the 100 Families', isn't this matter related to the Demonic Sect?"
"What do you mean?" Ah Bi's gaze froze.
It was obvious that Li Sandao wasn't particularly on guard against Young Master Han. It was just that A'Bi's pair of aloof, cold eyes exuded a murderous aura that made one feel sharp at the back, or that she was about to suffer if she accidentally provoked him.
Li Sandao slowly sheathed the blade in his hand and turned around to wave his two subordinates forward. He then cupped his hands towards Young Master Han and Ah Bi and said carefully, "The Demonic Sect is a branch of the Mo Clan and is a well-known fact in the world. The Confucian Sect's intention is to control the martial arts world in one go.
When Young Master Han and Ah Bi heard this, they immediately felt that this made sense. They couldn't help but wonder, could this series of events be what the Confucian School called the "one hundred out of one's hands" move? From this deduction, could it be that the Yin-Yang Battalion was the same as the Confucian Sect, appointed by the Imperial Court? If that was the case, then … Master drinker?
When he thought of the Wine Master, Young Master Han couldn't help but feel anxious. If the Wine Master and the Yin-Yang Camp teamed up, those few grandfathers of his would be at the Spirit Ancient Fortress. Were they not wolves entering the mouth of a tiger?
"Senior Sister Ah Bi, this matter seems to be a little strange!"
Young Master Han was a man of high intellect after all. After careful consideration, he felt that although the matter of the Confucianism and the Forbidden Yin Camp colluding with each other couldn't be ruled out, the chivalry of the wine master couldn't be concealed.
"Mm. Young master, what do you think?" Ah Bi couldn't help but ask Young Master Han for his attention.
Young Master Han nodded. His gaze then turned to Li Sandao and said, "Brother Li, I want to look for you brothers to make a show. I wonder if Brother Li is willing to help?"
Li Sandao laughed and said, "I, Li Sandao, am just a lowly constable. Even if I wanted to help Young Hero, I would not have the strength to do so. I am only willing to serve a small task like running errands."
Big Brother Li is too serious. I estimate that there must be someone who instigated a fight between the Confucian Sect, the Mo Sect, and even the various factions in the Southern Wilderness. Even if we head to the Heavenly Mystery Cave now, it would be impossible to save the fire. Young Master Han bowed towards Li Sandao with utmost sincerity.
When Li Sandao saw that Young Master Han didn't seem to be a crafty person, he nodded his head and expressed his willingness to help.
It turned out Young Master Han had suspected that the so-called Demonic Sect destroying the Devil King Stronghold, Spirit Ancient Fortress, and even the Heavenly Mystery Cave must have been instigated by someone, hoping for the various factions in the southern territory to fight each other.
At this time, all the martial artists from the various sects in the Southern Wilderness were rushing to the Heavenly Mystery Cave and would receive mysterious news. This was the purpose of the person who spread the news; it made all of the martial artists in the Southern Wilderness think that it was the Demonic Sect.
Young Master Han knew that it would be three days before he could reach the cavern of destiny, even if he was at his fastest speed right now.
He might as well use Li Sandao's subordinates and tens of people to rush to the Tian Ji Cave with great fanfare, and threaten to destroy the Tian Ji Cave in three days.
As a result, all the martial artists from the Southern Wasteland would not act rashly. If the Sky Demon Sect were to act rashly, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Young Master Han chuckled, "Big Brother Li, with this, not only will you be able to clear our Heavenly Demon Sect's suspense, but you might also be able to find the murderer who killed the thirty-one lives of our Jiang family!"
"Good!" "Gao!" After thinking about it carefully, Li Sandao could not help but applaud.
Only Ah Bi gave a cold laugh and snorted, "My Heavenly Demon Sect has killed quite a few people. So what if I've wronged them a few more times?"
That night, Young Master Han and Ah Bi stayed in the Darkya Town. On the morning of the second day, when the sky had just begun to turn dark, Li Sandao had already gathered a dozen or so people from all the manors. They were all dressed in fine robes and changed into weapons suitable for use as they waited at the entrance of the tavern.
Young Master Han sat cross-legged in his room that night and cultivated quietly. When he woke up the next day, he felt his spirit tremble and his eyes were slightly red.
Li Sandao had long since received instructions from Young Master Han and had sent several people to the tailor shop. They had spent the entire night making up a large banner with three words written on it – Heaven Demon Sect. They had also ordered two long sails.
A group of people was heading all the way to the Heavenly Mystery Cave. On the way, they said: Three days later, destroy the Heavenly Mystery Cave.
On the first evening of the first day, they had arrived at the boundary of the stream. When they exited the official road, they saw that the mountain ranges were empty. Han Shaofeng and A'Bi drove side by side, and along the way, countless small gangs followed them. By the time they reached the stream town, there were already more than a hundred people.
"Brother Han, this entrance to the stream is the southern ghost gate. This place is densely packed with mountains and forests, and there are often strong experts roaming about. Do you want to switch to the southern stream?" Li Sandao asked while slapping the horse from behind.
Young Master Han laughed heartily, "Although there's a lot of momentum this time, I'm afraid we'll have to make a bigger ruckus. Otherwise, we won't be able to make much of a difference!"
Li Sandao was startled by these words and looked at Young Master Han in confusion.
Ah Bi harrumphed and said, "Junior, what you mean is that this time, if anyone dares to cross the stream, kill them all. Let the entire Southern Wilderness know that we, the Demonic Sect, are heading to the Heavenly Cave!"
"So that's how it is!" Li Sandao had some hesitation in his heart. His smile froze on his face.
One had to know that a river gang of robbers were rampant in the southern border. The various prefectures had mobilized tens of thousands of troops to suppress them, but none of them succeeded.
Although Li Sandao was a bit nervous, he had no choice but to brace himself and warn his subordinates one by one. If they were to arrive at Ma Zifeng, they had to be extremely alert.
When they arrived at the top of the river, the public road suddenly became narrow, surrounded by towering ancient trees. When they arrived at the edge of a red river, they saw waves crashing against the sky.
Ah Bi lowered her head and whispered into Young Master Han's ear, "This river sounds like it's flowing water. It's said that it came from the six great mountains and poured down for hundreds of miles. These rivers flow in all seasons, washing away sand and causing the water to turn pale yellow!"
At this moment, a figure fell from a cliff like a giant eagle and landed on a bamboo pole that was inserted into the riverbank.
"Look!"
Upon seeing that person, the expressions of the crowd all changed. With a 'shua' sound, all of them took out their weapons.
