At this time, in the Apricot Flower Inn, the inner guards who had been sitting there for a long time were already full. They watched as the guests slowly dispersed, but they just couldn't see the person they were looking for. Xiang Chong had been a commander of the inner guards for eight years, and he could smell the scent of the person he was chasing after as soon as he entered the shop, so he didn't believe his judgement was wrong. But after so long, he still hadn't seen any activity upstairs, and he couldn't help but suspect that his whereabouts had been exposed.

"Lady Boss, were these the people who came to stay yesterday?" As Xiang Chong spoke, he slowly took out a large silver ingot and gently placed it on the counter.

About the same amount of people there are, the rest are the guests in the west room, "the shopkeeper looked at the shining silver, and his eyes immediately lit up. Without caring about anything else, he reached out his hand to take the silver, weighed it in his hand, and muttered," Unlike those people in the countryside who have no money to live in, the couple squeezed into a room and secretly brought a child with them.

"Hmm? What did you just say? " Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's words entered Xiang Chong's ears, causing him to instantly become vigilant as he asked in a stern voice.

"That …" I mean the country couple who left just now, when they didn't see a child when they came, and when they left, they only saw a child, probably because they were afraid that I would overcharge for their room and deliberately hid it from me. At first, the shopkeeper was a bit timid, but soon after, he also felt that it was a bit unfair.

Just as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xiang Chong seemed to have been pricked by needles as he yelled, "Not good!" Everyone, bring your weapons and follow me upstairs! "

Just as he finished speaking, the group of guards immediately tensed up. In the blink of an eye, they pulled out their long swords and followed Xiang Chong as they charged towards the two rooms.

When the guards surrounded the room, Xiang Chong signaled two of his subordinates at the front with their faces, and the guards followed suit and rushed in, but just as they rushed through the door, they saw two cold glows flash past them, before the two of them could react, they released a scream of pain and fell to the ground.

Seeing that, Xiang Chong turned his hand, and quickly pulled out two dart guns from his back. With only 10% of the force, the dart guns in his hands shot towards the place where the cold light flashed, and he heard a "Ah!", and everyone rushed in.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with flashes of blades and flashes of light. Zhang Xian's group and Xiang Chong's guards were instantly locked in battle. At this moment, Xiang Chong used Stellar Transposition, the other six Divine Spears on his back shooting out at the same time. Instantly, Zhang Xian's men were either killed or injured. If one were to talk about these eight sides of Yama Minamiya, he would be carrying eight of the Divine Phantoms. Back then, he was able to block eight of them on the basis of these eight Divine Spears. Now that he had displayed his divine might once again, he had the upper hand.

"Eight sided Yama Xiang Chong, seeing a spear and seeing a Yama. He really lives up to his reputation." Zhang Xian covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand and said coldly.

"General Zhang is too kind." Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Xiang Fu cupped his fists and said.

"I've heard that you were brave enough to protect the nation of Zhao, Minister Zhang. You were alone, but now that you've become that Guo Kai traitor's lackey, aren't you afraid of being despised by the world?" Zhang Xian asked sternly.

I only do things according to the law. Since I eat royal food, I have to do things for the imperial government, and I only care about the people whom the imperial government wants to capture, I never question the parties within the imperial government, "Xiang Zhen said, before turning back and continued," But I also heard that General Li is a loyal man, unfortunately, he committed a heinous crime, which is really intolerable. Now the imperial government is forcing me to hunt down a group of fugitives, including his family members.

"Not killing us? This is ridiculous! " Zhang Xian said angrily, "You know that I am escorting the family of General Li, and you know that Guo Kai will never show mercy and let the family of the general off, but now he wants us to surrender, and send us to a dead end?" It's just another way of dying in a dignified way. "

"I believe that the imperial court will make a decision, but I am indeed following the orders. I hope that General Zhang will not make things difficult for me."

"Hmph hmph, since that's the case, then there's nothing left to say. Commander Xiang, just come at me. Even if I, Zhang Xian, were to die here, I would never surrender and surrender!"

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" As soon as Xiang Fu finished speaking, he brought his hands together in a burst of luck. The eight spear strikes returned to Xiang Chong's hands as if they knew their master.

Xiang Chong knew that this person would rather die than submit, so if he were to leave a trump card in his hand, it would be very difficult to capture him. Moreover, he saw that all of them were also equipped with unique skills, so if he did not use his full strength, perhaps some of them would slip through the net. Thus, after a moment of hesitation, he decided to use his own skill — Wind From All Directions. This was the technique he used to repel the eight assassins. This move was called — fast, accurate, and ruthless. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a strong foundation in martial arts, he would not have been able to defend against this move. Even if a martial artist had deep cultivation and was lucky enough to avoid this move, they would still be injured by the cold Miasma energy of the Divine Spear and their inner strength would be difficult to use after being injured.

Although all the other people present had learned martial arts, if there was someone who was able to dodge Xiang Chong's attack unharmed, then there would not be anyone among them with this kind of ability. However, just when he saw that Xiang Chong could easily defeat the crowd with this move, a loud sound rang out in the room. Immediately, a gust of smoke filled the room, and when the smoke entered one's eyes, it stung, followed by tears.

He could only close his eyes and use his ears to observe his surroundings to see if there were any sounds. However, he could hear that amidst the commotion, someone had whispered, "Come with me." Following that, the sounds of messy footsteps could be heard and he disappeared into the smoke.

Xiang Chong also wanted to intercept the person who tried to rescue him in the chaos, but he was unable to distinguish the sounds of their footsteps. He originally wanted to leap towards the messy footsteps, but his legs softened and he was unable to exert himself. It turned out that besides making people unable to open their eyes, the smoke would also make people's limbs go weak after inhaling it. It was a despicable trick commonly used by underworld people in the martial arts world. However, by the time he understood all this, it was already too late. The people he was pursuing had already disappeared without a trace. Now, he could only regret that he did not notice this sudden accident earlier.

Just as Xiang Chong had expected, Caize, Zhang Xian, and the others also didn't know why they were saved. However, before the riot started, they already had nothing to rely on, and when the "Hurry and follow me" sound came, they no longer had any capital to doubt whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. They could only follow this only hope without hesitation. When they walked out of the encirclement and saw the real face of the person who saved them, almost everyone was shocked because they never would have thought that this person, who seemed to have nothing to do with the affairs of the martial world, would actually save them at such a crucial moment.

"You … "You are …" Zhang Xian held onto his shoulder, which was still soaked in blood. For a moment, he didn't know if it was pain or surprise, making him unable to say anything.

"General, there is no need to be suspicious. The woman's family has no ill intentions." The man quickly cupped his fists and smiled, dispelling Zhang Xian's doubts.

"Manager, you?" Seeing that woman clasping her fist and bowing, Lian Ze could not help but become even more surprised. She really did not expect that the snobbish and mean inn owner would actually understand the etiquette of Jianghu.

"Lady, don't be surprised. The truth is, I had unintentionally heard that you were escorting the great general of the State of Zhao, Li Mu's family?"

"That's right. General Li was killed by the traitor Guo Kai of the imperial court. Now that the entire family has been chased by that traitor, I've brought them all the way here to flee. Thus, I accidentally entered the shopkeeper's inn."

"Humph!" The traitor shall lead the way, and the loyal official shall be found guilty, and the nation shall have no peaceful days! " When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but gnash his teeth in hatred.

Suddenly, he remembered what he wanted to ask, so he asked, "Oh, I am not talented, and you saved me, but I forgot to ask you just now, because I mean, Manager, you have never lived your entire life, so why would you save me?"

"Oh, General Zhang doesn't know that my surname is Du, and I am the third oldest in the family. I am indebted to the people of the martial arts world for giving me face, and I address you as Third Mother." As Du Sanniang spoke, she cupped her fists and gave another round of martial arts etiquette.

"Du Sanniang? "But that 'jade-faced fox' rumored in the martial arts world who specializes in robbing rich and poor people?"

"General Zhang, please excuse me. We are just casually addressing them as martial artists."

"Oh, so that's how it is. You are indeed a heroine, I'm sorry for the disrespect," Zhang Xian hurriedly cupped his fist in return, "It's just that 'Jade Face Fox' disappeared ten years ago. Who would have thought that you would become the owner of this Apricot Flower Inn."

"Hehe, this is a long story. When I robbed that notorious evil merchant Zhao Wanqian in Handan City, I didn't expect that news would leak out. This thief has already invited people from the martial arts world to set up a trap, just waiting for me to enter his trap. At that time, I was trapped, and I thought that I would be unable to escape even if I had wings, but it just so happened that General Li, who was at that time the commander of the Handan Guards, helped me escape. And after listening to General Li's advice, they no longer did anything that went against the laws of the country, and from then on, they began to wash their hands. They opened an inn here to earn a living. "

"So that's the case. No wonder why I haven't heard about it for so many years. To think that I would end up staying here," Zhang Xianruo said with some enlightenment. "However, I still have to thank you, Third Madam, for saving my life."

"There's no need to be so courteous. If it wasn't for General Li, I'm afraid that Third Madam would have already become a pile of bones. When did I get the chance to save you?" Du Sanniang also had a smile on her face as she casually asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask, where are you guys escaping to?"

"Now that the territory of Zhao is already in trouble, you can't leave. I have thought it over and over again. Only by going to the Mojito of the Mo family can I save the life of General Li."

"Moke Manor?" Du Sanniang pondered, "I've heard that the Mo family both loves to attack and helps the world, and General Li is a loyal general, so I'm sure the Mo family will do their best to help. This action by the general is also a wise one."

"Sanniang, you don't know? The son of the Mo family is related to our general, and now we are sure to get his help. Oh, right, this is one of the eight sons of the Mo family, Lady Ce Ze." At this moment, Zhang Xian remembered Ce Ze who was beside him and hurriedly introduced him to Du Sanniang.

"Oh, it's the famous eighth son of the Mo family. I'm very happy to see you." After Du Sanniang finished speaking, she bowed towards Cichy.

"I dare not, dare not. In terms of seniority, I am a junior. I should be bowing to you, Third Madam." As Ce Ze spoke, he also returned the greeting to Du Sanniang.

"Aiya, we're all of the same generation. Meeting by chance is fate, and you're even talking about literary etiquette. Actually, I, Third Mother, am most annoyed by all these formalities in Jianghu."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to be polite. We are all friends of the martial arts world, you can just call us whatever you want." At this moment, Zhang Xian saw the two of them being polite to each other and said this with a smile.

"General Zhang's words are reasonable, but Third Madam, since I'm a bit better than you, I'll have to take advantage of you. If you don't mind, I'll call you sister. If you think highly of me, Du Sanniang, then you can just call me Third Sister."

"Ah, this isn't good, right? Then wouldn't I take advantage of you, Third Mother?"

"Lady Ce Ze, I think it's better if we meet by chance than by chance. Since Third Mother has this kind of intention, you shouldn't decline." Zhang Xian purposely smiled and said.

"Then — okay, then I'll accept it. Third sister, please accept this little sister's bow!" With that, he kneeled down and kowtowed to Du Sanniang.

"Hurry, don't, don't," Third Madam hastily supported Third Mother and blurted out, "Third Mother, I'm not used to being courteous like this. Since you've agreed, then you're my good little sister."

Seeing that the two of them had already become sworn brothers, Zhang Xian naturally felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Thus, he could not help but smile and nod his head. However, he suddenly remembered that he still had something he needed to do, so he quickly said, "It is indeed a joyous thing for the two of you to sign off on fate. However, we still have something to do, so I hope that you two can first suppress this fate before continuing."

When Ce Ze and Du Sanniang heard this, they knew what Zhang Xian was referring to. Du Sanniang cried out involuntarily, "Aiya, look at how happy I am. I'll take my buddies with me and escort you to Moke Manor."

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Third Sister." Cize hurried to thank him.

"Sister, why are you being so courteous to me?" Third Madame laughed heartily, then called the two waiters behind her, "Ah Fu, Ah Cai, come with me to escort the Li family's old and young to Moke Manor."

"Yes, shopkeeper."

Ah Fu and Ah Fu agreed and started their journey together with the rest of the group. After they had become sworn brothers with Du Sanniang, they hurried on their way, talking and laughing without a hitch. When Lady Li, Grand Matron Li, and the others saw him escape, they too felt a lot more relieved. At this moment, all they wished for was to reunite with Li Mu and Li Xin, and have a happy family. However, it wasn't difficult for them to reunite with Li Xin, but it was extremely difficult for them to do so with Li Mu. At this moment, Guo Kai and the others had already started another vicious plan.

"Bastard!" There are so many experts in the inner guard, and they are even led by the inner guard commander, Eight-sided Yama Xiang Chong himself. To think that they were unable to catch this group of old and young, what's the use of me raising you bunch of bastards! " Within the inner court, the eunuchs had infuriated Guo Kai, who was facing a group of guards who had returned after losing a battle.

"Master Guo, it's not that we aren't diligent, it's just that Commander Xiang originally had the victory within his grasp. But who would have known that he would end up like this after being plotted against by that scoundrel in the middle of his journey." A guard among the guards that was kneeling down first complained bitterly.

"Who did you fall for? Can't even deal with it? Could it be that the big boss had come again to stir up the situation? I don't believe that he will be able to fly out at this critical moment with the help of his doppelganger technique! " Guo Kai was furious.

"According to Commander Xiang, this shouldn't be a big deal, because the tricks used by the visitors are unorthodox methods in the martial arts world. The Mo family has always been open and upright in their conduct. They definitely won't use this method to win."

"Oh? Wasn't it someone from the Mo Sect? A backdoor to the martial arts world? " Guo Kai narrowed his eyes, casting an extremely disdainful look in his direction, "It looks like this Li family's younger brother's life is quite big, even the nameless pawn in the martial arts world came to wade in this muddy water for them."

"Mr. Guo, what do you think we should do?" That guard said in a low voice, trembling with fear.

Guo Kai wiped his chin and spoke harshly, "You're asking me what to do? When he went back to tell Xiang Chong, the old servant gave him another chance. He allowed him to capture all the criminals within three days! If he fails again, then he, as the commander of the internal guards, will not be able to continue being one! "

"This little one will definitely bring this up."

"Get lost!"

"Yes, yes." That guard nodded his head repeatedly and then led the others to quickly retreat.

Just as the guard stepped out of the inner courtyard's entrance, he coincidentally bumped into a person whose steps were as calm as the wind. This person carefully glanced at the retreating figures, who looked like a stray dog, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Hehehe, Manager Guo, your face is even more serious than the walls of Handan's palace, it seems that your subordinates have been unlucky." The person purposely made fun of Guo Kai when he saw Guo Kai's angry and pained expression.

Hearing the familiar voice, Guo Kai raised his head to look. That person looked like an honest and righteous man, but in the dark, he was a treacherous person with a myriad of schemes. Yes, this person was one of the Mo Family's eighth son, Shan Gen.

"General Shan Gen, you're in such a good mood. Why did you come to my Guo Mansion's inner palace?" Although Guo Kai knew that the mountain clam was not a good person, he still had to give him some face when discussing their former friendship.

"Just now, outside the door, I heard the steward raging at a group of ignorant subordinates. I was afraid that you'd be angered to the point of losing your temper, so I specially came in to visit you." "Besides, with Director Guo's current status, there's no need for him to get so mad at these useless people." That mountain Gong's words were quite straightforward, and it was true that he was being polite.

"Thank you for your concern, General Shan Gen. I've given my men a lesson and have disturbed General Shan Gen. Please forgive me." As he spoke, Guo Kai waved his hand towards the mountain clam, expressing his apology. He then said with a hint of anger, "But that commander of the internal guards who's been there for so many years didn't do anything well and wasted this old servant's effort to cultivate him!"

"What's wrong with that?" A human is not a saint, how could he be that kind of person? I guess that commander was just careless for a moment. "

"Carelessness?" Such a group of trained inner guard assassins, not only did they make Old Li run away, they actually don't even know who saved them. How could they be careless, it's clearly a crime of dereliction of duty and negligence! "

"Oh? The Li family's old and young were saved? " Shan Gen didn't care about the crime he committed, but he was rather interested in the matter of the Li family's old and young being rescued.

"Of course, why else would this old servant be so angry? You said this …"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for people to be rescued." Guo Kai was still fuming over this matter, but he didn't expect to be interrupted on the other side.

"You … What did you say? " Guo Kai thought he had misheard when he heard the mountain raven's words. He hurriedly asked again.

"Manager Guo can think like this. So what if you have captured the Li family? Although we can eradicate Li Mu's family, Chief Steward Guo should be very clear that the Mo family, which was commanded by this son of his, is not easy to deal with. I have lived in the Mo family for many years and know how big and deep the roots of the Mo family are. If Li Mu dies in your hands, then I will definitely not let you off. At that time, Director Guo's days might not be too good either. "

"This …" Guo Kai was at a loss for words from Shan Gen. After a long while, he finally said, "Then what does General Shan Gen think we should do?"

He slowly picked up a teacup and scrutinized it for a long time before speaking at a leisurely pace, "This teacup is indeed exquisite, but if all of it were placed in a single teacup, it would be nothing more than a decoration."

Guo Kai stared at the teacup in the hand of the mountain dragon as he savored the meaning behind the words of the mountain dragon. He seemed to understand the meaning behind the words, but he still didn't understand the specifics, so he purposefully spoke, "Could it be that General Shan Gen wants to lure the snake out of its cave and then net everything in one fell swoop?"

With an insidious smile, the dagong placed the teacup in his hand onto the teacup and said slowly, "Those who know me, will also be Steward Guo."

"However, that 'big brother' has always been a very astute person, why would he risk going so deep into the tiger's mouth?" In fact, Guo Kai had long since wanted to wipe out this son of his, but he had no other choice. Since the mountain dragon had brought it up, he wanted to see what kind of brilliant plan it had.

"You and I can't fool this old fox, but if we add in the people he trusts the most, things will be different."

"The person he trusts the most?" Guo Kai was puzzled when he heard this.

"Only my eighth sister knows that I betrayed the Mo family. Li Mu and Sima Shang are completely unaware of this. If he can be of use to me, then he won't be a problem." As the dugong spoke, he pushed the teacup towards Guo Kai, looking as if he were in control of the situation.

"General Shan Gen has indeed seen through everything and plotted for a long time," Guo Kai smiled sinisterly as he accepted the teacup, "But I'll have to trouble General Huang to take action first."

"Manager Guo, you can rest assured. Leave Sima Shang and Li Mu to me, but you and I will have to act separately. If I'm not wrong, then that Eighth Sister must have lured the Li family towards Moke Manor." There were many traps at Moke Manor that were easy to defend against but hard to attack. Ordinary people could not get close to them, so if they wanted to destroy the sect, they had to lure the snake out of its cave to be effective. Furthermore, in order to lure that Mo family in, Commander Xiang must not relax. Those who should be pursued must be pursued, and those who should be forced must be forced. Furthermore, they must spread the news that Li Mu is about to be executed. "

"General Shan Gen can be at ease spreading the rumors. I, Guo Kai, dare not speak of anything else, but it is but a drop of water to climb to my current position by relying only on my ability to catch the shadows of the wind." Guo Kai said confidently.

"If that's the case, then let's see who can finish this pot of tea using these cups one by one." As he spoke, he pointed at the tea tray in front of Guo Kai with a proud smile.

When Guo Kai heard this, he also chuckled in his old, high-pitched eunuch's voice. Such a sinister sneer, coupled with such a terrifying scheme, even a brick and tile of the inner court could not help but tremble from the cold.

It was just as that mountain dude had said. After Sima Shang informed Lei Zhen and the others, he arranged for Zhang Xian to escort him properly. He then hurriedly returned to the manor to prevent Guo Kai's spies from tracking him down. From that night on, he had heard from the internal guard that Li Mu's family had indeed been able to escape that very night. Lei Zhen had fought to the death to protect his master, and unfortunately, he was killed in the chaos. However, he had never expected that the truth would be so much more complicated than what the guards knew. Moreover, the unknown truth was much more terrifying than any ordinary lies.

At this moment, Sima Shang was bitterly searching for a way to save Li Mu. He was sometimes lost in thought, and sometimes sighing while shaking his head. He absolutely could not let this method of rescue have the slightest slip up and cause an accident to befall Li Mu. However, every plan he came up with had to be abandoned due to the lack of a reliable helper.

Suddenly, a shadow passed by his window, but he happened to glance at it. His instincts prompted him to shout, "Who is it!"

However, the black shadow flashed past and disappeared. Sima Shang immediately got up and left the room. However, when he stepped out of the room, there was still no trace of him. After observing for a long time and confirming that there was no one else around, he returned to his room and bolted the door.

After returning to his room, he couldn't help but have some doubts. Perhaps it was because of his continuous deliberation that he had experienced the illusion of a cup, a bow, and the shadow of a snake. But when he sat down, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him, "General Sima."

This low voice gave Sima Shang, who was originally like a frightened bird, a fright. He quickly got up and turned around, only to see a man in black clothes faintly appearing in the dim candlelight.

When the man in black walked closer, Sima Shang looked at him closely. He was dumbstruck by the newcomer's approach and couldn't help but cry out, "A mountain bird!"

He leisurely walked up to Sima Shang, clasped his hands, and greeted him, "Please forgive me, General Sima, for coming to visit you in the middle of the night."

"We won't disturb you," Sima Shang hastily waved his hands, before asking in confusion, "But why are you here? Where is the general's family now?"

"Sigh." Shan Gen sighed, looking very sad, "That day when Junior Lei came to notify my son, he escaped from Handan together with the Li family's Old and Young, so I immediately packed up and left together with the appointed time. When I rushed to the antechamber, I found that Junior Lei Zhen was already dead, and there was also a commotion outside the door. I had no choice but to find an opportunity to escape. It was only later that I found out that my plan to not flee had been leaked out, which was why it was being pursued by the army. My eighth sister, General Ce Ze, General Zhang Xian and the Li family's younger brother were also missing. "

"Oh, so that's how it is," Sima Shang seemed to be enlightened. "The information you've told me is about the same level as the information I've received from the internal guard. I hope that Lady Ce Ze and General Zhang have already escaped with their family of great generals."

"General Si Ma, you don't have to worry. Since there is no news of them in the imperial government, they must have already escaped from the imperial court's talons." Shan Gen took the opportunity to comfort her.

Sima Shang, listening to Shan Gen's reasoning, could not help but nod his head.

"It's just that," the duo suddenly changed the topic of conversation as they continued to speak with extreme anxiety, "Although the Li Family has escaped the clutches of the tiger, General Li is still trapped in jail. If we don't rescue him soon, he might fall prey to that vile person Guo Kai."

"Yes, General Shan Gen and I thought the same thing. I've been thinking of many different methods these days, but none of them can be used to guarantee that the general will be safe. Right now, I'm secretly worried." Sima Shang sighed as he said this, helplessly patting the book on the table.

"But it's like this?" Shan Gen pretended to be deep in thought, frowned, then said tentatively, "I have a plan that might be able to save the Great General's life, but I don't know if it'll work."

"Oh? "What plan does General Shan Gen have? Tell me quickly." When Sima Shang heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Right now, General Li is heavily guarded, making it difficult to save him, so we cannot take the risk in this tiger's mouth that is heavily guarded. I expect that Guo Kai will take the life of the great general soon, and the only thing we can do now is to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix into a phoenix while he is on his way to kill us. You will send two letters, one letter and one letter to the great general, sending him into prison and handing the letter over to him, so that he can prepare himself for everything.

"This is a good plan." When Sima Shang heard this, he repeatedly praised it, immediately blowing away all the anxiety and disappointment he had felt for the past few days.

"As for the letter between the book and my master, I will personally do it. This way, I can guarantee that my plan will be foolproof."

"That's great, General Shan Gen has really solved my greatest problem. I had originally planned to seek help from my son, the Elder Senior, but I have been having trouble finding a reliable person to go to Moke Manor. Now that General Shan Gen has personally come, I can't be any more reliable."

"Since General Si Ma thinks that this plan of mine is feasible, then we will split up and act separately. There's no time to lose, General Si Ma, you can start writing now."

"Alright." Without explaining further, Sima Shang hurriedly found two pieces of cloth from the desk and started writing.

Looking at Sima Shang who was so anxious that his pen was flying, the duo could not help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts. Perhaps even he himself did not know that their complacency had already slowly appeared on his face, and the crooked corner of his mouth could not hide the joy in his heart. Sima Shang, on the other hand, was completely immersed in this foolproof rescue plan. He was so immersed in writing that he didn't even notice the gleeful look on his face when he had everything under control.

Moke Manor was the largest market in the eight square of the Mo family, and was also where the Mo family was most important. Compared to the common loser's burial ground, the layout of Moke Manor was even more exquisite. Although the mechanism array of the tomb was strange, it still revealed a cold aura, and although Moke Manor was also heavily guarded, it still had a unique elegance. Although Moke Manor's reputation had always been famous among the martial arts world, other than the Mo Clan's Owner, Hall Master, and Sect Head, no one else knew the true location of Moke Manor.

According to the rumours in the martial arts world, Mojiao Manor was surrounded by water on all four sides and was surrounded by a dangerous Flying Jin River. At the bottom of the river, there was a giant flood dragon roaming around, disturbing people. Other than the ferrymen from the Mo family who knew of the only way out for them to get to Moke Manor, the other ferrymen naturally didn't dare to act rashly after experiencing this, so they could only look on with admiration. Of course, this was just a rumor spread by those who did not know the truth. In fact, Moke Manor also had its own elegance. After all, to Mojito, it was a sect that combined literature and martial arts. It was just that many people only knew its martial arts manuals, but few people knew his writing.

At this time, within the Moke Manor, the son of the Mo family was sitting on the roof of the meeting hall with a letter in his hand. His long and thin eyebrows were scrutinizing the letter, and his forehead seemed to be filled with doubts.

"Master, who sent this urgent letter with the crane feather?" Looking at the puzzled expression on his Master's face, the disciple, Di Kun, couldn't help but to ask.

"Your sixth junior brother, Xun Feng, delivered this urgent message early in the morning. He said that the Divine Wind Sect had received this message at the Flying Jin Du stronghold. They didn't dare to handle this matter privately, so they sent someone to deal with it for me."

"A Crane Feather urgent message can only be sent if there are urgent matters within the sect. I believe that this letter must be sent by someone from my sect. Does Master have any leads?" The third disciple Huo Li also expressed his opinion.

"I don't know who sent the letter, but he knows that the Mo family's signal and method of communication is definitely the work of one of the heroes of the sect. "This letter was written by General Sima Shang, who said that Guo Kai was going to execute General Li tomorrow, so he asked me to kidnap the prisoners before noon on the way to the execution, at the ten-mile slope of the pavilion."

"What?" That traitor actually attacked so quickly! " When Di Kun heard this, he immediately got angry and started beating up the case.

"He dares! So, I will take my disciples from the Sacred Fire Sect to the Handan Heavenly Prison to rescue him, and then we will directly smash that Guo Kai traitor's nest, and take his head! " Huo Li was also burning with anger. He got up and was about to lead some people to save them.

"You guys, sit down! "Calm down, and wait for the situation to clear up first!" Big Brother saw the two of them were not calm, and shouted in a hurry.

"Yes, but …" When Huo Li saw that his master was also angered, he couldn't help but accept his master's order. However, he was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to say something, but the words were forcefully swallowed back down.

At this moment, Ce Ze, who was sitting on the right side of the table, felt that this matter wasn't baseless, so he voiced out his own thoughts. "Master, it wasn't easy for us to bring the Li Family's Young Master back to Moke Manor. This must have caused Guo Kai to become angry from embarrassment, so it's within reason that he wanted to execute General Li."

"I have my own thoughts on this matter, but this is a very special situation and I need to be extra careful. It is truly a misfortune for our sect to have a traitor like Mo Clan, and we were unable to properly guide them, but now such an urgent letter appeared out of nowhere. Although the method of communication used to send the letter is by Mo Sect, before we can completely verify the authenticity of the letter, I believe that we should discuss this matter further. " He stroked his long beard habitually, seeming to be suspicious.

In fact, he also knew that Li Mu was in extreme danger. However, after his numerous encounters with his opponent in the shadows, he felt that everything wasn't as simple as it seemed. Especially the day before, when Lian Ze and Zhang Xian led the Li family's old and young to Moke Manor and heard about the hardships they had endured along the way, as well as the fact that his fourth disciple carried his master and killed his disciples, it caused him to instantly be wary of all the people and matters around him.

"Then is General Li not going to save him?" You're just going to watch General Li lose his life in the hands of a scoundrel! " Huo Li asked without hesitation.

"Military advisor!" I beg the Military Advisor to save the life of our great general! " At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the back of the hall, led by Li Mu's subordinate, Captain Zhang Xian. It turned out that when Di Kun was angry, he had disturbed Zhang Xian and Li Family's Old Fang. They had come up to the hall to hear what had happened, and when they found out that Li Mu was about to be harmed by Guo Kai, they were extremely worried.

"Big Brother, please save my old master!" Among the kneeling crowd, an old woman had tears streaming down her face. She sobbed silently. This person was none other than Madam Li.

"Madam, please wake up!" How could Big Brother possibly bear Lady Li's kneeling? He hastily rushed down from his seat and supported Lady Li.

"If senior does not save my old master, I will kneel and not rise today!" Madame Li cried incessantly as she desperately knelt on the ground.

"Madam, please get up first. This old man does not dare to accept, but don't worry, General Li is my best friend in life and death. Even if this old man were to put his life on the line, I want to protect him." Big Brother saw that Lady Li was in such a sorry state, so he swore to save Li Mu's life.

After hearing his words, Madame Li's grief started to ease up. She slowly stood up and thanked him profusely: "This old woman thanks senior on behalf of the Li family. To live and work as a horse, I will definitely repay you for saving my life today!"

"Madame, quickly don't say it, everything is what I should do," Big Bear said as he helped Madame Li up from her seat. He still had some doubts in his voice, "However, it's hard to tell whether General Sima's letter is real or fake, so this old man is afraid that I've been caught in a traitor's scheme. I wonder if Madame can tell if it's true or not?"

When Lady Li heard this, she suddenly thought of something and said to her son, "May I borrow the letter?"

"It's fine if you want to read it." With that said, he handed over the cloth in his hand.

Madam Li carefully examined each and every word of the letter, but in the end, her gaze stopped at the few words written on it. She said with determination, "This letter is truly written by General Si Ma."

"Oh? Why are you so sure? " Big Brother was also curious when he heard what Lady Li had said.

After a while, I found out that General Sima had a habit of signing. When he was writing 'Ma', there would always be a small pause between the four points, and if you look carefully, it would seem as if it had turned into five points. If a normal person did not look carefully, it would be very difficult to notice that I had only discovered his habit because I had seen too much of his handwriting.

"Oh?" He took the letter again and carefully looked at Sima Shang's handwriting. As Lady Li had said, a hidden leg had been added to the four legs of the horse.

"Just as you said, if you say so, then this letter is undoubtedly General Sima's handwritten letter," at this moment, Big Brother Li's doubts were finally slightly dispelled, and after pondering for a moment, he ordered, "Disciple Di Kun, Huo Li, Shui Kan, listen to my sect's orders. Lead your disciples to ambush the area around the ten-mile slope in the pavilion tomorrow afternoon, and prepare to receive General Li."

"Disciple accepts the order." Di Kun, Huo Li, Shui Kan, and the others all spoke at the same time as their master.

Big Brother then turned back to look at Du Sanniang, who was escorting the Li family's old and young, and said, "Third Mother's heroism is something that this old man admires greatly. If I can get Third Mother's help this time, then I can definitely win the battle."

"Big Brother Zi is an old and respected senior. Third Madam, you can do as you wish." Du Sanniang hurriedly cupped her fists in greeting.

Good, since that's the case, Third Madam, you will lead the rest of the people to Fei Jin Du and finish the arrangements for the rescue. After Di Kun and the rest succeed, Guo Kai's remaining faction will not let the matter rest, especially Eight-sided Yama Xiang Chong.

"This matter is all up to me, Du Sanniang." Du Sanniang patted her chest and said.

Then I will have to trouble all of you with the rescue of General Li, "Dazhi said firmly. With that, he turned around and spoke to Di Kun, Huo Li, Shui Kan, and the others," Di Kun, Huo Li, Shui Kan, I sent you Big Brother Tian to find out about the situation in Handan, but he still hasn't replied.

"Yes, master, disciple will arrange it now." After they received their orders, they all left.

"Master, what about me?" When he saw that his Master had never arranged for him to do anything from the beginning to the end, he suddenly became anxious.

"Master has separated from you for many days and really misses your ghost. Stay in the Black Market Villa and accompany me as I await the good news of your senior brother and sister." In fact, what Big Brother Gui said about leaving Cizi behind was actually another story. He saw that since Cizi had returned to the Mohist Manor, he had always been preoccupied with other matters. If he assigned her to this mission, it would most likely be counterproductive.

In fact, Qi Ze's guess was not wrong. His heart was filled with worry, because every word he said to Li Xin yesterday was deeply engraved in her heart. She really wanted to do something, but compared to others, she felt that what she did was unnecessary. Thus, he could only look out the window at the stars in the dim candlelight, entrusting his thoughts to them.

"Xin'er, where's the big brother and big sister that brought you here today?"

"Oh, they said they have something on, so they left first."

"Then how did you come to Moke Manor alone?"

Big Sis found a white-haired ferryman and gave him a piece of jade. The old man looked at the jade and told us to get on the boat, but the big Sis seemed to be very anxious about someone and just didn't want to get on the boat. She told the old man to take me here to play first, it's so fun here, she would definitely regret it if she didn't come.

"Where did big sister go?"

"I don't know about that."

"What about Big Brother?"

"Big brother said he wanted to go back and save someone, but he hesitated all the time. Big sister told her to go save someone."

"Did he say he was going to save someone?"

"It seems to be that … That's right, it's you, Big Sister. "

"Then did Big Brother and Big Sister tell you who they were?"

"Nothing, but I heard they call the other party 'Young Master Jing,' or 'young lady with a public loss' or something like that."

Hearing this, Caize was momentarily stunned. She had guessed it right. That sloppy village Han was no doubt Jing Wuya. No wonder she felt a familiar feeling lingering around her. That wild and unrestrained nature was filled with all kinds of strange ideas at all times. Moreover, every strange thought would always bring them a safe way out. She knew that when Jing Wuya returned to the inn, it was indeed to save her. She felt an indescribable sense of joy and gratitude, but she also knew that Gongsheng Rong had been unwilling to board the ship, and had indeed been waiting for someone she was worried about. Perhaps Master had guessed it right. It was true that Jing Wuya had agreed to marry Gongsheng Rong in order to ensure her smooth escape. However, Gongsheng Rong's friendship with Jing Wuya had indeed made her feel ashamed. That was why she had the urge to go see Jing Wuya, and the fear to embarrass herself in front of Gongsheng Rong. The combination of these two feelings made her sink into a state of deep confusion.

"Sister, is there something on your mind?" Suddenly, a caring voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ce Ze turned his head to look and saw that Du Sanniang had been standing beside him for a long time. It was just that she was too engrossed in her thoughts just now and had not realised it. At this moment, seeing Third Mother standing in front of him with a questioning look on her face, she couldn't help but be a little flustered. She hurriedly shook her head and replied, "No …. "It's fine."

"Don't lie to me. I've experienced more emotional matters than you. What you're thinking in your heart, sister can see through it with a single glance. Is it related to the one you love?" Du Sanniang teased intentionally.

She did not shake her head nor nod her head. Although she did not want to tell Du Sanniang about the matters regarding Jing Wuya and Gong Zhuang Rong, she did not want to keep it in her heart.

"It's useless if you don't want to admit it. Your thoughts are all on your face," Du Sanniang said with a faint smile, then she sat down next to Cize, "If I'm not wrong, the one you love is definitely with someone else."

After hearing Du Sanniang's honest guess, the tears in his heart finally couldn't be hidden anymore. He threw himself into Du Sanniang's arms and sobbed as he shouted, "Sanniang! I wanted to go to him, but I was afraid it would disappoint me. "

"Alright, alright, little sister, what's the big deal? Isn't it just a disappointment? When San Niang was your age, she was worried too much, but in the end, she didn't even know what the result would be, so she can only feel regret for the rest of her life. "

"Oh? Has elder sister had an unusual experience? " After hearing what Du Sanniang had said, Li Ze's interest was piqued. He sat up straight and listened attentively to Du Sanniang.

"Yes, this is a long story. At that time, I was still a young girl who loved fighting and making fun of things," Du Sanniang said, her eyes glazed over as if she had been a young girl. "Maybe I have a personality that likes to fight for injustice. Like me, he loved to stand up for the wronged and the poor, and from the moment I saw him, I was drawn to him by his lack of respect for power and fell in love with him. But because of the difference in face and family background, I never showed him my intentions. And he had always treated me with the courtesy of a sister. At first, I had only hoped that I could stay by his side like this, but in the end, misfortune had come. At that time, the Situ Family had relied on their power and influence to run rampant through the countryside and disturb the people. The first son of the Situ Clan, Situ Xiong, forcibly took the daughter of the tenant, Old Man Li. Qing Yun and I couldn't stand it any longer, so we wrote a complaint and agreed to go to the county yamen together to declare Old Man Li's injustice. "However, on the day of the appeal, I waited at the entrance of the county magistrate court to the left and right of the door. Later on, I found out that in order to stop Qing Yun, the Situ Family had hired a villain to harm Qing Yun. The Liu Family was also forced to ruin their family by the Situ Family …"

As Du Sanniang spoke to here, tears uncontrollably appeared in her eyes. Her gaze also gradually fell onto the jade pendant at her waist. That was the gift Liu Qingyun gave her back then. After a moment of silence, she calmed herself down and continued to speak, "From that time onwards, I knew that just being reasonable was useless in this world. Thus, I took Kong Zi as my master, learned a variety of martial arts, killed Situ Xiong, and avenged Qingyun. "From then on, I went into exile in the martial arts world and made a living by robbing the rich and helping the poor. From then on, Du Sanniang's name gradually spread throughout the martial arts world."

When Ceng Ze heard Du Sanniang's story, he was lost in thought and did not recover for a long time. She had no idea that this female hero of the martial world, whom everyone respected and respected, had such a sorrowful and sorrowful experience. When she thought of Du Sanniang's twisted fate, the anxiety and confusion she felt earlier vanished without a trace.

"I didn't think that you would have such an experience." Li Ze could not help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, Du Sanniang only smiled and said slowly in a low voice, "In this world, there are only things that you can't think of and nothing that you can't come across. There are some things that you just don't have to regret."

Du Sanniang's words made her suddenly feel enlightened. Her usual naughtiness returned to her face and she made a face at Du Sanniang. She chuckled and said, "I understand, Big Sister."

Seeing Ce Ze's smile, Du Sanniang also smiled. On one hand, she was happy that her words were not wasted. On the other hand, her smile was to comfort her lifelong love, because she couldn't let him worry about her in the underworld.

Since the major incident with Li Mu and the others, Handan City had become a hell on earth. The loyal generals and generals who were supporting Li Mu were imprisoned under various pretexts by Guo Kai. Because of the large number of people involved, for a time, the prison of Handan City was overcrowded. Many prisoners who had been convicted of crimes had no choice but to be locked up in the prison. The prison was always filled with evil auras, and those who were locked up had to starve to death or die from illness. The more terrifying thing was that since there were so many of them, no one paid any attention to them. They just let them rot in the prison, and when they smelled it from afar, a nauseous stench rushed out. It made people nauseous.

Although many unknown felons were often forgotten in dark corners, a great general like Li Mu was heavily guarded and couldn't be careless in the slightest. Chief Steward Guo also said that if Li Mu went missing for no reason, then all the guards in the prison would die with him. With these harsh words, who would dare to slack off in the slightest? Even if he were to sleep in the middle of the night, he would have to sleep with his eyes open.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind blew gently, causing one to feel sleepy. At this moment, one of the guards couldn't take it anymore, so he said to the other guard beside him, "Brother, I'll take a nap first. You watch over first, I'll replace you in a bit."

"Go, big brother."

Just as that person wanted to leave, he felt a bit worried. He turned around and repeatedly warned his colleague, "You have to watch out for me. If something happens, my little life will be gone."

"Don't worry. Can I still use my life to joke around?"

When the guard heard him say so, he calmed down and yawned slowly. Then, he went to look for a quiet corner to slack off.

Since there were no comrades around, the remaining guard felt bored and relaxed. He sat down to take a sip of the strong wine to warm his body and refresh his spirit. However, just as he was drinking, a black figure descended from the sky and snuck beside him like a ghost.

The guard had wanted to take another sip of the alcohol, but who knew that just as he lifted the wine jug, a cold feeling suddenly came from the back of his neck and went straight to his throat. Following which, a low and fierce voice sounded in his ear, "Where is Lady Ce Ze locked up?"

The guard was so frightened by this sudden misfortune that he trembled. He knew very well that what was shining in his throat was a shining dagger. If anything went wrong, he would have lost his life on the spot. However, he really did not know who the man in black was. He could only tremble and say, "This brother here has something to say. Let's have a nice talk. "

"Don't talk nonsense, I only have one question. Where is Reisgem being held? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. "

"But I really don't know who the 'marsh' you speak of is. The people imprisoned here are only the imperial court's criminals, General Li." The guard said helplessly.

"General Li?" That person hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you talking about the great general of the country, Li Mu?"

"It's General Li Mu, Lee."

"When will General Li be executed?"

"Tomorrow … Tomorrow at noon, at the ten-li slope in the pavilion, I heard the head steward say that they would set up an inescapable net and take it all out in one fell swoop. "

Before the guard could even finish speaking, the man pointed at the Feng Residence Acupoint with his finger, causing the guard's scalp to go numb and his legs to go soft. Before he could even make a sound, he fainted.

When the black shadow saw that the guard had fainted, it did not wait for even a moment before heading straight for the dungeon.

Inside the cell, an elder with disheveled hair was sitting by the side. He was wearing a white prison uniform, and his entire body was covered in bloodstains. The white prison uniform was mixed with red and white, and there was also some filth left behind by the whip. Although his face was haggard, from the look of his calm posture, he seemed to be indomitable and indomitable.

"Are you General Li Mu, General Li?" The black shadow approached the elder and asked in a low voice.

The elder opened his eyes slightly, narrowed them, and answered, "This old man is Li Mu. May I ask what your majesty wishes to advise me?"

The moment the black shadow heard the elder admitting that he was Li Mu, it hurriedly bent down and kowtowed. "I am the Mo family's disciple, Jing Wuya. Greetings, General Li."

Li Mu was sitting calmly at the side when he suddenly heard the three words "Jing Wuya". His calm eyes immediately flickered, because he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere before. After recalling it carefully, he suddenly remembered that when Big Brother came looking for him and mentioned the successor of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, the person mentioned seemed to be Jing Wuya. Therefore, he probed again, "You're the successor of the Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword, Jing Wuya?"

"Please forgive my rudeness, but I did not know that the sword was the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword. Jing Wuya hurriedly explained.

As Li Mu listened to Jing Wuya, he carefully sized up this young hero who was brimming with spirit energy from head to toe. He had a delicate and pretty face, and his eyes were brimming with vigor. Although his actions and actions were somewhat unruly, they contained a rare sense of freedom and sharpness. After a long while, he finally said slowly, "Looks like Old General Lian has his own unique eyes when he passed his treasured sword to you. Your Master has also had his eyes on you many times. In my opinion, you are indeed a rare young hero. "

"Great General Li is too kind. Everything depends on the wrong love between Old General Lian and my master. Actually, I am truly ashamed." Jing Wuya cupped his fist again and refused again.

"Young Hero, there is no need to be modest. This old man has always seen fit to do things, in the future, you will definitely be someone who will accomplish great things," Li Mu said with a smile.

In fact, even Jing Wuya himself didn't know why he had rashly barged into the Handan Sky Prison and coincidentally encountered the great general Li Mu here. When he first came here, he only wanted to ask about a random person's information. That day, when Jing Wuya returned to the Apricot Flower Inn, he discovered that it was already empty. He carefully searched every corner of the inn, but didn't find anything other than the corpses of Zhang Xian's soldiers and the internal guards. Judging from the traces of the fight, it must have been that the eight-sided Yama Minamiya had the upper hand, so he guessed that nine out of ten of ten of them had already been captured by Xiang Fu and were now being escorted to Handan. Thus, he had followed a trail all the way here, and when he heard that the internal guards would usually escort the culprits here, he took advantage of the dark night and sneaked into the Handan Sky Prison.

But at this moment, Jing Wuya didn't have the time to explain in detail and could only add, "This matter is a long story, this is a land of war. General Li, you should leave quickly with me before you make your plans."

"Hey, Young Hero Jing, this Handan Sky Prison is a heavily guarded prison, and I am a felon of the Imperial Court." Hey, Young Hero Jing, this Handan Sky Prison is a heavily guarded, and I am a heavy criminal of the Imperial Court. "Besides, Guo Kai also ordered people to use shackles made from King Kong Meteoric Iron to bind my hands and feet. I'm basically a cripple now, it's impossible for you to save me by yourself." As Li Mu spoke, he shook the shackles on his hands and feet and sighed.

Jing Wuya stared at the indestructible shackles and shackles on Li Mu's body. He couldn't think of any way to deal with it, so he fell into a predicament.

"Young Hero Jing should go first. With the green mountains here, I'm not afraid of nothing. But today, it's my, Li Mu's, three lifetimes' fortune to be able to recognize this young Hero. Besides, Sima Shang had already sent someone to inform me in secret that someone would rescue me at the slope of the pavilion before noon tomorrow, so Young Hero need not worry. " Seeing that Jing Wuya refused to leave, Li Mu was afraid that he would attract the guard's attention if he delayed too long, so he consoled him.

"If that's the case, then I'll be leaving first. Tomorrow, I will go with General Si Ma's men to rescue you." When Jing Wuya heard Li Mu's words, he cupped his fist and said his farewells.

"Young Hero, rest assured, we will meet again tomorrow."

Jing Wuya saluted Li Mu once more, then he quickly left the Sky Prison. Li Mu smiled with gratification as he watched Jing Wuya disappear without a trace. This smile revealed that he had long since put life and death beyond his consideration, and there was nothing else to say. Besides, this time, he was very satisfied to see such a young hero. He was also very certain that this extremely unusual young hero would be able to do something very grand and grand in the future.

This day was destined to be an unusual day. Guo Kai's men had already surrounded the sky prison so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. Although it was rare for important officials of the imperial court to enter and leave the palace, it was not without dignity for them to enter and leave the Sky Prison as felons of the imperial court. He saw that the official path of the prison was filled with internal guards, and Guo Kai was leaning sideways against the throne, at ease and at ease. This winding convoy of prisoners had iron cavalry at the front to clear the way and fine armor at the back. Both sides were escorted by saber guards, which was quite a spectacular sight. And inside the prison cart, the felon, Li Mu, was leisurely closing his eyes and allowing the vast and mighty troop to continue onward.

This road had a total of ten miles, a mile, and a slope, which symbolized ten obstacles in life. After walking ten miles, even if one completed this long and long road of human growth, they would still be able to leave this world without any regrets. In addition, the terrain of the slope was steep and the roads were rugged. Ordinary prisoners would not be able to escape easily after being shackled. Therefore, the slope was the best way to escort a prisoner through. But today, the heroes of the Mo family were all lurking around the slope. They were all vowing to save this loyal general from the gates of hell.

In the escort formation, Sima Shang's men were constantly gripping their longswords, and they only had to wait for Sima Shang's command before they would immediately rescue General Li Mu. Meanwhile, Mountain Gun and Guo Kai were swaying back and forth with a nonchalant look on their faces. However, they had an expression of complacency on their faces.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the frontlines, and the entire formation came to a halt.

Following that, one of the soldiers from the previous troop went straight to Guo Kai's throne and bowed before him to report, "Reporting to Chief Eunuch Guo, the queue has reached the five mile slope of the pavilion. Please enlighten me, Chief Eunuch." Ever since Li Mu had been imprisoned, Zhao liang had become a popular figure in front of Guo Kai. Of course, Guo Kai was well aware that in order to grasp Zhao's general principles, he had to rely on himself among the military generals who wielded great strength. Zhao liang's direct line of descent was clearly the most suitable target.

When Guo Kai heard Zhao liang's report, he slowly stepped down from the throne. He raised his head to look around him, but there was only absolute silence, not a single person in sight. However, he was very clear in his heart. In this calm and peaceful atmosphere, there was already a storm brewing. Actually, there were people already sharpening their fists and drawing their swords. What he wanted was to wait for those rebels who did not know their limits to fall into his trap.

After a long time, Guo Kai indifferently said, "Let's take a rest for now," before slowly stepping onto his throne. However, his words didn't mean that he was really going to rest, because he was going to wait for the person he wanted to wait for to appear.

At this time, Sima Shang could no longer hold himself back because he knew that he did not have much time left. He also knew that the people from the Mo family had long been ready for him to respond. However, the current peaceful atmosphere was frightening to everyone, yet it was in a stalemate.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, a red light shot into the sky, startling everyone. Right, that was the Mo family's Thunder Command, the moment the Thunder Command Order was issued, it was executed. In an instant, dozens of ropes fell from the sky and surrounded the convoy. A wave of heroic shouts rose up from the surroundings, and Huo Li, Di Kun, and Shui Kan led the hundreds of Mo Family warriors on ropes towards Li Mu, Guo Kai, and the others. Upon seeing this, Sima Shang shouted out, "Save the loyal officials, except for the traitorous officials." He then unsheathed his sword and led his men to attack the armored guards.

Guo Kai, on the other hand, stood up unhurriedly. With a wave of his hands, the soldier below him blew the horn. The horn blew and the sound spread for several dozen miles. Suddenly, a deep and vigorous sound of the soldiers could be heard from within the valley. A massive net began to close in from afar. It turned out that Guo Kai's men had been lying in ambush on the mountain slope not far away from the slope, waiting for the Mo Family's volunteers to become his turtles in a jar.

Sima Shang and the members of the Mo Family noticed that the situation was bad, but since they had come to save Li Mu, even if they had to stake their lives, they had to save Li Mu. Fire Li, Earth Kun, and Shui Kan only had one target, and that was the moonlight, before they pounced on Guo Kai. Because at this point, only by capturing the bandit leader first could the situation be resolved.

However, just as they got within ten meters of Guo Kai, the three attendants suddenly burst into cold laughter, and blocked Guo Kai like ghosts and gods. The three of them attacked in a very unpredictable manner. One of them was black and one was white, while the other was black and white. That's right, those three people were the Yin Yang Family's Zou Shuang and the Black and White Impermanence. It turned out that Guo Kai had long since secretly linked with Wang Jian. As long as he could eradicate Li Mu and Big Brother, Wang Jian would agree to divide the resources among them. The Yin-Yang Sect had fought with the top disciples before. Although they had lost to the top disciples before, their power was not shallow either. Naturally, Huo Li and the rest would not take advantage when they fought with them. After a few exchanges, Huo Li and the rest felt that they were too weak to continue fighting. If this continued, they might face complete annihilation once Guo Kai's army arrived.

At this moment, Li Mu, who was inside the prison cart, had long since noticed this. In fact, he had been prepared to die at any moment since last night. That was because the guard's words had already aroused his vigilance. At this moment, he completely understood that for his sake, both Sima Shang and the Mo Family warriors had fallen into Guo Kai's trap. The only person who could solve this trap was him. When he thought of this, he hit the guard with his forehead without hesitation. The guard then turned his attention to the place where the disturbance was. He was caught unawares and became dizzy. He staggered as he leaned against the prison cart and fell down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mu grabbed the longsword from the hands of the soldier and shouted at his brothers, "Brothers, Li Mu deeply believes that his brothers are willing to sacrifice their lives for him. However, Li Mu does not wish to implicate our brothers any longer, we can only renew our brotherhood in the next life!" He raised his sword and stabbed fiercely into his stomach. In an instant, a pillar of bright red blood spurted out of Li Mu's chest, dyeing the five-kilometer-long pavilion's slope an inch of scorched earth red.

"Great General!" Seeing this, Sima Shang immediately let out a sorrowful cry, which pierced through the nine layers of clouds.

At this moment, all of the heroes were stunned. They never would have thought that in this critical moment, Li Mu would choose to sacrifice himself to eliminate the burden he placed on everyone. Even Guo Kai, who always viewed Li Mu as his sworn enemy, had no choice but to submit to Li Mu at this moment. At that instant
