Xu Que was overjoyed. In these past few months, even in his dreams, he wanted to kill Ye Mo Han. Now, his dream had finally come true. Using his long sword as a blade, he chopped towards Ye Mo Han's right arm. He first cut off his arm, then cut off his limb. In Xu Jing's eyes, Ye Mo, who had no four limbs, could only be at his mercy.
Weapons were originally ruthless weapons. Ye Chonglou watched as Xu Jing's sword drew a graceful arc through the air. He knew that the end of this arc would very soon cause a bloody mist to rise up, and his blood would soon be drifting into the air. In the sunlight, the mist of blood was beautiful; in the night, it was enchanting; but in the hearts of men, it was terrible; for this mist of blood represented death or injury, represented uncertainty.
Even if it was unknown, Ye Mo Han didn't want to hide. If he dodged aside, the blood on Xu Jingjian would belong to Liu Yiyi and Xie Feiyan. A man's self-sacrifice in such a situation was worthy of respect.
Ye Wen was fearless, and in his heart, he had already made up his mind. The instant that Xu Jing's sharp blade chopped off his right arm, he attacked without any warning, killing Xu Jing in the shortest amount of time. Exchanging one arm for two lives, Ye Mo felt that it was worth it.
Liu Yiyi and Xie Feiyan had their eyes closed, unwilling to watch. To them, there was nothing more cruel than this. However, the sound of bones breaking did not ring out in the end. The sharp blade stopped two inches from Ye Mo's shoulder, unable to move any further. Because the swordsman was already dead, Xu Jing had a white ceramic wine cup embedded in his throat. To throw a cup to kill a person, to kill him in one move. One could see how powerful the throwing method was and how precise the internal energy of the person was in throwing the cup was. Xu Jing's eyes were wide open, and his face still had a proud expression. Even in death, he didn't believe that he would be killed at this moment.
After Ye Mo Han left the hall, the banquet quickly ended. Chen Shao Chong could not find Ye Mo Han and the rest, and was worried that Lu Jie's remnants had yet to be cleared. He immediately carried a few wine cups and used them as a hidden weapon in case of emergency. He didn't want to return to the South Peak and happen to see Xu Jing do something bad to Ye Mo Han.
Chen Shaochong untied Ye Mo Han, then untied Liu Yiyi and Xie Feiyan's acupoints. He looked at Xu Jing's corpse and said, ”I didn't think that the first person I would kill in the past twenty years would be at your mother's grave.”
”Have you really stayed here every inch of the way for the past twenty years?” Ye Mo Han gazed at his mother's grave.
”I've been so busy killing Lu Mingjie these past few months that I don't even have time to clean up these weeds.” Chen Shaochong looked at the deserted grave with an awkward expression. After all these years, this place has always been managed by me. If it was anyone else, I wouldn't have been at ease either.
”What about my father?” A few months ago, Ye Mo Han had come to Mount Hua for the first time. Before leaving, he had instructed Chen Shaochong to set up a monument for Ye Mo.
”Before you leave, I will go and negotiate with the Hua Shan Sect. The entire Hua Shan Sect is opposed to it, and I'm afraid that after the monolith is erected, it will be destroyed, so I had no choice but to give up.” Chen Shaozhong was in a slightly difficult position.
In the distance, a fiery light leapt, like a flaming dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in the air, the fire rose up from the east of the mountain. Not long after the east peak's fire dragon was ignited, a few more fire dragons appeared in the distance.
”That is the signal fire of Mount Hua, once ignited, it will quickly spread throughout the territory of the Hua Mountain Sect.” ”Chen Shaochong's face was full of worry.” ”Seems like Qingwu has encountered a problem.”
Within the meeting room, the atmosphere was heavy. Zhang Qingwu, Chu Li, and Li Zhixiang were all gathered around a large table with a map of the Hua Shan Sect on it.
”He Wu Lan is leading 50,000 men and horses to attack the northern border of the Hua Shan Sect.” When Zhang Qingwu saw Chen Shaochong and Ye Mo Han arrive, his face lit up with joy.
Chu Li Sa scolded, ”This mob, they must have seen that I sent a hundred thousand of my main forces back to Mount Hua, so they wanted to take the opportunity to invade our territory.”
Chen Shaochong glanced at the map. ”How many people are guarding the city?”
”Less than ten thousand.”
White Crane Xuan pointed to the map and said, ”The northern border is two thousand miles away. Even if we were to lead troops without stopping, it would still be too late.”
”He Wulan must have received the support of Wu Dang and Shaolin. Otherwise, even if she was lent the money, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing.” The more Chu Li thought about it, the angrier he got. He also scolded the Sect Leaders of Wu Dang and Shaolin over and over again.
”Elder Chu, rather than cursing and swearing here, why not think of a way to deal with it?” Wen Hongyi could not bear to listen any longer and interrupted Chu Li.
When Chu Li was about to refute, Zhang Qingwu beat him to it and said, ”After the northern border is broken, He Wulan will have three towns, and these three towns will be our Hua Shan Sect's northern barrier. If He Wulan uses this as a springboard and goes straight to the heart of the Hua Shan Sect, it would be as easy as turning his hand. If Wu Dang and Shaolin really want to cause trouble, then our Hua Shan Sect is in danger of being exterminated. ”
Ye Mo Han looked at the worried faces of the crowd and felt joy in his heart. He had also admitted that he was taking pleasure in Zhang Qingwu's misfortune. At this time, Ye Mo was still feeling cold and suspected that Zhang Yiming's death was related to Zhang Qingwu's death, but there was no evidence.
