Fire Captain

Wu Gou and Bai Zihua played this game of chess from dusk to dawn. Bai Ziyang fell asleep at some point in the middle. The key point was that it was too boring.

The next morning, when Bai Ziyang woke up, he heard Wu Gou say, "Zihua, we have been playing chess all night. Why don't you go back and rest early? I have important things to deal with."

Bai Zihua pinched the chess piece and suddenly said, "Do you want to continue killing people?"

Wuqiu's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "You know everything?"

Bai Zihua said, "Tan Fan used Polygonum multiflorum and Angelica sinensis to make medicine for you, and tried his best to persuade you to go back. I think the forbidden secret book is related to you. Yan Tingsha and the others are all top-notch masters. Not many people can kill them. But I was shocked to think that it was you."

Wuque said: "Yes, I was the one who killed him."

Bai Zihua asked: "Why?"

Wuque said: "Does it matter? They are all people who deserve to die."

Bai Ziyang suddenly said, "It's not important, especially not important!" He then moved to attack Wu Gou, and took the time to turn around and said to Bai Zihua, "Take him down first, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

After Wu Gou blocked Bai Ziyang's attack, a chess piece suddenly popped out and landed on the chessboard. In an instant, Bai Ziyang saw a barrier rising from all around, covering him and Bai Zihua.

Wuque said: "This formation is what I have learned throughout my life. Although it cannot trap you forever, it is enough for me to kill her. Then everything will be over."

Bai Ziyang cast a spell on the barrier. Although it was a test, it also contained 50% of his strength. The barrier did not move at all. It seemed that this formation was indeed extraordinary. However, he also said: "Although your formation is powerful, your biggest mistake is to trap the two of us together."

Wuque said: "Indeed, but if I let you go last night, how could I have set up a barrier in such a hurry this morning to trap you without you noticing?" After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Bai Zihua sat back in front of the chessboard and said, "It seems that I have to win this game to break this formation."

Bai Ziyang said: "I really admire you for still being in the mood to play chess." As he spoke, Bai Ziyang sat next to Bai Zihua and watched him study the chess game and break the formation.

Here, the two brothers were trapped by Wu Gou's formation, and there, Hua Qiangu had just found some clues about Yun Ya, and turned around to see Wu Gou leaving in a hurry. Suspicion arose, and she followed Wu Gou unconsciously. Following him all the way, she found that he was leading to Shao Baimen. It seemed that he was looking for someone in Guanwei, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be Mei'er?

Hua Qiangu followed Wu Gou all the way to a cave and suddenly lost sight of him. However, she found a woman covered in scars and looking terrified in the cave. She kept shouting, "I beg you, I beg you to let me go... I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

Hua Qiangu had no choice but to approach her carefully and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

The woman raised her head cautiously and looked at Hua Qiangu and asked, "Who are you?"

Hua Qiangu said: "I am Hua Qiangu, a disciple of Changliu... Are you Mei'er?"

The woman nodded with a trembling voice.

Hua Qiangu said quickly: "Sister Wei Xi has been looking for you everywhere."

Mei'er said excitedly: "Senior Sister...she..."

Hua Qiangu heard some noise behind her and quickly helped Mei'er up and said, "Stop talking and follow me! Otherwise it will be too late..."

Unfortunately, just as they reached the entrance of the cave, Wugou suddenly appeared and said coldly: "It's too late." Then he raised his hand and grabbed Mei'er's throat.

Seeing this, Hua Qiangu rushed to Wu Gou in a desperate attempt to save her. Although the sword moves Bai Ziyang had taught Hua Qiangu were extraordinary, with her current skills, she could only barely deal with Shan Chunqiu. Facing Wu Gou, who was comparable to Bai Zihua, she was still far behind. At most, she could only support Wu Gou's moves for a few more moves. In the end, she was hit by Wu Gou's palm and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

Afterwards, Wu Gou was not anxious to kill Mei Er, but together with Hua Qian Gu, he was forced to listen to his and Yun Ya's "love story" which was neither beautiful nor romantic...

After hearing this, Mei'er suddenly changed her normal behavior, swept away her previous state of fear, and laughed crazily, saying as she laughed: "It turns out that it's not because of the Thousand Eyes Glazed Pendant, but because of the life and death tribulation!"

Hua Qiangu asked unconsciously for some reason: "Life and death tribulation? What is life and death tribulation?"

Mei'er said, "Life and death calamity is a calamity of pain and destruction. To be precise, life and death calamity does not refer to a calamity, but to a person. Once you encounter it, it is almost unavoidable, and you will eventually go crazy, turn into a demon, and be ruined. I didn't expect that your life and death calamity was Yun Ya? Haha... That's why you drove her out of the Wuque Palace. Yun Ya, the fool, thought it was her fault until her death!"

Wu Gou became furious and shouted, "Actually, you are the one who is wrong!" After saying that, he exerted force with his fingertips, and Mei'er immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Hua Qiangu quickly caught up with her and said, "Mei'er, why did you deliberately say something to provoke him to kill you?"

Mei'er said in a weak and intermittent voice: "I can't escape anyway, I don't want to fall into his hands again, I can't live nor die... I might as well end it quickly! Yun Ya... I'm here to accompany you..." She died before she finished her words.

Hua Qiangu put Mei'er down and said to Wu Gou, "Do you want to continue killing?"

Wuque said: "No, there is one last person, and everything will be over."

Hua Qiangu looked at Wu Gou, who had a gloomy face, and stepped back unconsciously. Wu Gou stepped forward and said, "Do you think it's so easy for you to follow me?"

Hua Qiangu suddenly realized: "So you deliberately led me here, and the last person you wanted to kill was me?"

Wuqiu said: "Yes, you are really smart... You are worthy of being Bai Ziyang's apprentice, but your master can no longer save you now."

Hua Qiangu took the opportunity to sprinkle a handful of Shushan's special sleeping pills on Wugou, knowing that it would have no effect on Wugou, so she tried to escape as long as possible and turned around and left quickly. At this time, Hua Qiangu was still in the mood to think, why didn't she learn her master's specialty of escaping from him.

Let Hua Qiangu run first. On Bai Ziyang's side, not long after Wu Gou left, the door suddenly opened and Xia Zixun suddenly appeared in the room.

Bai Zihua was concentrating on solving a chess game. When he heard the noise, he turned around and asked subconsciously, "Zixun?"

Bai Ziyang stood up and asked, "Xia Zixun, what are you doing here?"

Xia Zixun ignored Bai Ziyang and just looked at Bai Zihua and said, "I went to see Tan Fan and came to see Wu Gou. I wanted to say goodbye to them because I had made up my mind to kill Hua Qiangu no matter what..."

Bai Ziyang heard this and said angrily: "Xia Zixun, are you crazy?"

Xia Zixun said: "At worst, I will pay you with my life. You can just kill me again. At least you can still live well, right?"

Bai Ziyang shook his head and said, "Crazy, really crazy."

Ever since Xia Zixun arrived, Bai Zihua began to think about his luck secretly and did not say a word to Xia Zixun.

Xia Zixun continued, "But Wu Gou wouldn't allow it. After he knew the reason, he said he would help me... Then you wouldn't blame me, and at least there would be some room between you and me."

When Bai Ziyang heard Wu Gou was about to take action, he suddenly understood why Wu Gou insisted on trapping them here. He said sternly, "If anything happens to Xiao Gu, neither of you will survive." Then he walked to Bai Zihua and said, "Come and help me break the formation."

Bai Zihua nodded and passed his own power to Bai Ziyang. Although Bai Ziyang could not play chess, he could still ruin the chess game. With Bai Zihua's help, he broke Wuqiu's formation in a few moves. Bai Ziyang nodded to Bai Zihua and disappeared in front of the two of them in a flash.

Bai Zihua fell behind and finished talking with Xia Zixun.

Hua Qiangu naturally could not escape Wu Gou's pursuit. She was pointed at by Wu Gou's sword and fell to the ground. Wu Gou said, "Although I have not known Zi Yang very much, I have known him for many years. He only has you as his disciple. Even for Zi Hua's sake, I really don't want to kill you."

Hua Qiangu asked in confusion: "Why? You killed others to avenge Yun Ya, but did you kill me just to silence me?"

Wu Gou said disdainfully: "Silence? Humph... The moment Tan Fan gave me the medicine, Zi Hua knew the truth of all this. Is it necessary for me to silence you?"

Hua Qiangu thought of the smell of medicine she had smelled before and suddenly said, "Danggui? Polygonum multiflorum? So the Immortal Tan Fan chose not to say anything. Is he using his own way to tell you to turn back?"

Wuque said: "Look back? I did nothing wrong, why should I look back?"

Hua Qiangu said excitedly: "What about me? What did I do wrong?"

Wu Gou said: "Hua Qiangu, you must die, your existence is a mistake! Just as Yun Ya is my life and death, you are also the life and death of your master and Zihua!"

Hua Qiangu was shocked when she heard this and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Wu Gou said: "Zi Hua wanted to drive you away at first, but Zi Yang insisted on keeping you by his side and even accepted you as his disciple. Now I can't turn back. I can't let them end up like me. Hua Qian Gu, I have to kill you to save your master and Zi Hua."

Hua Qiangu was immersed in shock, still muttering in disbelief: "This is impossible... How could I be the master's life and death tribulation? This is impossible, impossible!"

Wu Gou was about to kill Hua Qiangu upon seeing this, but he didn't expect that Hua Qiangu suddenly yelled, "Impossible!" At the same time, a huge force came towards him, and Wu Gou couldn't resist it, and was pushed back repeatedly by the force.

After Hua Qiangu finished yelling, she seemed to be exhausted and was about to fall down in a trance. When Bai Ziyang arrived, he saw Hua Qiangu falling backwards to the ground. He quickly came behind Hua Qiangu, hugged her and shouted: "Xiaogu, Xiaogu!"

Hua Qiangu's eyes were dazed and her mind was in a mess. She seemed to have seen her master in a trance and thought it was an illusion. She murmured, "Master..." and then fainted.

Wu Qu looked at Bai Ziyang and said, "It seems that I still underestimated you! You broke my barrier so quickly."

Bai Ziyang said: "You can kill yourself. I am too lazy to do anything to you."

Wuque said: "Since you can't do it, why don't I do it for you and cut off your life and death?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Minding your own business, you were so cruel to drive Yun Ya away. Does that mean your life-and-death calamity has been resolved? Look at how you look now. You've gone insane."

Wuque said: "It's because I woke up too late. If I had realized Yun Ya's actions earlier, I would have killed her and nothing would have happened today."

Bai Ziyang said: "Yun Ya is not wrong, and being your life and death tribulation is not wrong either. You are wrong. Your biggest mistake is that you fell in love with her and you dare not admit it."

Wu Gou looked at Bai Ziyang and Hua Qiangu and sneered, "Ziyang, can you swear to heaven that you have never had any feelings for her?"

Bai Ziyang looked Wu Gou in the eyes and said, "Yes, I am attracted to Xiao Gu, so what? I won't lie to you and I won't admit it."

Wu Gou looked at Bai Ziyang for a long time and suddenly laughed. He then looked at Hua Qiangu who was leaning on his arms and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant... Have you ever thought about Zihua? What did he do wrong? Do you want to watch him end up like me?"

Bai Ziyang lowered his head and looked at Hua Qiangu and said coldly: "Don't bother with that."

Wu Gou said: "Zi Yang, kill her, otherwise you will be a thousand times more miserable than me."

Bai Ziyang was too lazy to say anything more to him and finally said, "My head brother is here, you can save your words for him."

After saying that, he picked up Hua Qiangu and left, passing by Bai Zihua. Wu Gou was determined to die, and the final result was nothing more than Bai Zihua sending him off.
