Chapter 37 Dangerous Jianghu
Chapter 37 Dangerous Jianghu
After waiting for a while, seeing that You Shuyun didn't want to fight and that her eyes had cleared up a lot, Li Muyang pouted and complained, "Are we still going to fight or not? Don't waste my time. I still need to help Yuxiu resolve her inner demons in the Wuxiang Gong!"
Realizing that he wasn't seriously injured, Bai Yue finished giving Bai Yuxiu a theoretical lesson, and then Li Muyang began to assist Bai Yuxiu in fighting against the inner demon Hei Yuxiu deep within her heart. After all, Li Muyang was the only one among them who had mastered the Heart's Extreme (Yin attribute spiritual power, including but not limited to mental energy) and could enter the hearts of others.
As for the others, He Sui's skill has been stagnant for many years, and she hasn't been able to comprehend anything in the past few days. Moreover, even if she comprehends the Four Extremes, it is still the ultimate skill. Bai Yue made a mistake because of practicing the Formless Skill in reverse. Although it does not affect her ability to fight, she cannot break through to the Perfect Realm without solving her own problem.
Adding to her mental state issues, even at the peak of her mastery level, she still lacks opportunities for breakthrough.
Therefore, the important task of helping Bai Yuxiu overcome her inner demons fell on Li Muyang!
Upon hearing this, Lu You's expression visibly fell for a moment, but he quickly recovered and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Yue, for disturbing you with my visit today. Please leave the Western King Sword here, and I will come to retrieve it later."
Before Li Muyang could say anything, Bai Yue twirled her hair and retorted, "You talk as if you can beat this kid..."
You Shuyun (?w?`ll): ...
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Muyang coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! Youjun, I see your face is pale and your forehead is dark! This is probably a very bad omen!"
You Shuyun maintained her composure: "What's it to you?"
Do you think he's some novice in the martial arts world who can be fooled by such charlatanry talk?
To everyone's surprise, Li Muyang said nonchalantly, "What does this have to do with me? Hmph! If you weren't Yuxiu's senior uncle, do you think I would care about you? Besides, don't you know your own body? What's your situation now? You're not far from death! The Red Sun Blood Poison is almost spreading to your heart. If you really die, I can't save you!"
"And another thing! A friendly reminder! You still have the Gu poison controlling you! I think you know who gave it to you and what their purpose is! You're just a puppet being controlled, what are you so proud of? You're just someone Jian Jue is controlling to take the blame for! You think Wuxiang City hasn't taken enough blame, right?"
Li Muyang pointed at You Shuyun without any mercy and launched into a tirade: "You keep talking about rebuilding Wuxiang City, but look at what you've been doing all these years!"
"Settle scores with the mastermind from back then? Heh heh heh! Jian Jue is one of the Seven Stars, and he's one of the masterminds! I haven't seen you set scores with me. Cooperation? I don't believe you can't see that he nurtured you just to continue tarnishing Wuxiang City's reputation! While he hides in the shadows, continuing to reap the benefits!"
"Rebuilding Wuxiang City is utter nonsense! You haven't taken a single concrete action! Instead, you keep tarnishing Wuxiang City's reputation! Given your current status in the Netherworld, even if you were to rebuild Wuxiang City, what difference would it make? It would only confirm to the world that Wuxiang City was indeed the villain that wreaked havoc on the martial world back then! And now, they still haven't changed their evil ways!"
You Shuyun trembled as Li Muyang scolded her. Her eyes were fixed on Li Muyang, but she didn't look angry. Instead, she looked extremely pained. Clearly, lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife. That last sentence really stabbed You Shuyun's heart!
He knew very well that the key to rebuilding Wuxiang City was to erase the stain on Wuxiang City's reputation from the past! Otherwise, it would be impossible to rebuild Wuxiang City!
You Shuyun knew that Jian Jue was using him, but there was nothing he could do. Apart from Jian Jue, who was willing to train him? Those hypocritical and righteous sects were even less willing to help him. If he couldn't even get power, how could he take revenge?
The once prosperous Wuxiang City is now reduced to three people. Senior Sister is nowhere to be found, the only remaining elder, Bai Yue, is in seclusion, and You Shuyun, the nominal Youjun, is under the surveillance of Youming. He doesn't even have a trustworthy helper. What should he do?
The only ones I might be able to trust are the boxing and weapon masters around me, but those two are only in it for money!
While You Shuyun was furious, she suddenly felt a sweetness in her heart, and at that moment, she felt a gentle light.
"Huh?" x3
You Shuyun, the master of both fist and weapon, came to their senses and stared in disbelief at Li Muyang, who was emitting a bright light, or more precisely, at the strange green ruler in his hand.
The fist and weapon masters discovered that their injuries, previously inflicted by Li Muyang, had been completely healed after being exposed to the light!
You Shuyun felt that his mood had calmed down a lot. At the same time, it seemed that something was crawling out of his mind through his nose!
A moment later, a Gu worm crawled out of You Shuyun's nostril in a panic!
You Shuyun's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly tried to kill the Gu worms, but Li Muyang stopped her: "Wait! This thing is still useful!"
As he spoke, he quickly picked up the Gu worm, modified it with the Shennong Ruler, put it in a small ornament, and handed it to You Shuyun, saying, "Alright, now as long as you keep this thing on your body, the poison will never be activated, and you won't know that the Gu worm has been forced out!"
"...Thank you." You Shuyun silently expressed his gratitude. To be honest, if being scolded a few times would have brought him help, he now felt that Li Muyang hadn't scolded him enough!
Because what he did was indeed inhumane, he originally intended to be a villain, and give all the merits to his senior sister Bai Muzhen.
Li Muyang continued to emit light with the Shennong Ruler, waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. Here, you came looking for the Immortal Map, right? Here! Take this! Go back and hand it in!"
As he spoke, he handed over another painting of an immortal.
You Shuyun took it and glanced at it, her eyes turning serious: "This is..."
He recognized it at a glance! This wasn't the Immortal Painting hidden in the Western King Sword! Of course, he had seen his own Immortal Painting before! This Immortal Painting belonged to Tianxia Yi!
Immediately understanding Li Muyang's intentions, Youjun said with a meaningful look, "Your move is ruthless! You want to make Youming take the blame! You want Youming and Tianxia Yihei to double-cross each other?"
Li Muyang smiled kindly: "Look at what you're saying. Do you think I'm that kind of person? I just couldn't beat you, and you took the Immortal Painting from me. After all, I'm just a kind-hearted doctor."
Doctor... Tears streaming down his face, tears falling from both fist and weapon devastation.
"Also, I've temporarily stopped the spread of the Red Sun Blood Poison for you. As long as you don't continue to use this stuff, you won't be contaminated with the Red Sun Blood Poison again. Although this is probably just empty talk and you won't listen, the doctor has said everything he needs to say. Youjun, take care of yourself."
“…Thank you.” This “thank you” truly conveyed You Shuyun’s gratitude, because it might be the first time he had ever received help from a stranger in the real sense.
"No need to thank me, now it's time to tell me my purpose," Li Muyang said calmly.
You Shuyun nodded, unconcerned. Or rather, if Li Muyang truly had no other motives, he would have to wonder if Li Muyang was trying to use him for something.
It's actually a good thing to make things clear now!
"Well, I'll be frank. I don't like Jian Jue and Du Jue! I'm going to deal with them!" Li Muyang said calmly. "Jian Jue's matter is naturally related to the matter of Wuxiang City. Since I'm going to get involved in the affairs of Wuxiang City, I won't give these unrepentant culprits any chance!"
"Heh heh! Trying to hide in the shadows, let others take the blame, and reap the benefits yourself? Do you think it's that easy?"
"As for the Poisonous Annihilation! It's because of Nan Ying's matter! To be honest, Nan Sheng, you and Pavilion Master Liu are still too kind! So many years have passed! The Hundred Flowers Sect and the Tianya Haige have still not eradicated the Insect Valley? So many scourges have been left behind in the outside world! It's a dereliction of duty! If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze! You can't litter!"
Nan Sheng's lips twitched violently. How could you describe the extermination of an entire family so subtly? The Insect Valley was driven out of the Southern Frontier, and now they don't even have a sect headquarters! Isn't that tragic enough?
Nan Ying, on the other hand, unconsciously revealed a relieved smile. This junior brother is really good!
He Sui stroked his beard, his expression calm. Over the years, he had dealt with several people from the Insect Valley, and all he could say was, they were a menace! These were truly evil and crooked practices! These were the kind of scoundrels from the martial arts world that the righteous sects should be dealing with!
As for Li Muyang, dealing with Du Jue was a piece of cake! This guy was the kind of feudal remnant that should have been eliminated! If he really wanted to live a peaceful life, he wouldn't bother with him, but Du Jue was still happily helping Jian Jue cause trouble, showing no remorse whatsoever!
Forgiving him is a matter for the King of Hell; Li Muyang just needs to deliver him!
Although this mission was mandatory by the Administration Bureau, Li Muyang didn't dislike it at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy about it! It's clear that the Administration Bureau's mission system truly understands people's hearts!
After sending two generous gifts to You Shuyun and agreeing to cooperate on the Backstab Sword Technique and Poison Technique, You Shuyun gave Li Muyang a wink, asking what to do about the other two.
Quan Jue and Qi Jue noticed You Shuyun's gaze, and their faces immediately darkened. They were doomed! They hurriedly tried to express their opinion: "Give me something good, and I'll obey!"
To everyone's surprise, Li Muyang calmly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, they're not a big problem! Even if they leaked what happened today, so what? If they're so capable, let Jian Jue not take this Immortal Map! This is an open scheme! I don't believe Jian Jue can resist taking it! Wasn't his goal the Immortal Map all along?"
"However, just to be safe... hehehe, you three, do you know Jian Jue's true identity?"
You Shuyun raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face. He had been controlled before and unable to reveal Jian Jue's identity, but things were different now.
As for Fist Master and Weapon Master, they also sensed something was wrong and were about to run away when Li Muyang revealed Sword Master's identity: "Sword Master of the Netherworld is Liang Xiuzhuo, the head of the Qiongwu Sword Pavilion."
The fist expert and weapon expert (╥﹏╥) paused in their escape attempt: Oh no! That little vixen! She's gone undercover! They didn't get any benefits! And now they've inexplicably gotten themselves into big trouble!
A single piece of identification information is enough to tie two people to the same boat!
