[Lu Xiaofeng Sword III] The Emei faction is playing a big game of chess

Ye Gucheng leaving with Ye Zhiran did not exceed the expectations of everyone present.Even Shi Yan, the head of Wudang, must be very clear that the reason why Ye Chengzhu was invited to Wudang to observe the ceremony was not to give face to the Wudang faction, a great martial arts faction with a century-old heritage.He came only because Ye Zhiran would come, so simple and clear, and he never concealed his purpose.

"This way, I'm afraid City Lord Ye and Sect Master Ye will be in trouble." Looking at the figures of several people walking away, Taoist Mu sighed.

Hawkeye Lao Qi beside him and other sect leaders who came to watch the ceremony all nodded in agreement.The Emei disciple who came to report the letter just now has been taken down by others to take care of him. From the injuries he suffered, it can be seen that his journey has been difficult and dangerous.Ye Zhiran and his party were going back to Emei, they would definitely be intercepted and killed on the way.However, with City Lord Ye present, although everyone sighed, they were not very worried about their safety.

Unfortunately, the day Ye Zhiran left was the day when Wudang's succession ceremony was originally scheduled to be held.

One of the heads of the Emei faction left, and they also left with the Lord Baiyun, but the succession ceremony of the head of Wudang still had to continue.

As dusk approached, the sky gradually darkened, and the hall was lit up with numerous lights, illuminating the entire empty hall brightly.The sound of footsteps resounded in the hall, and the famous Wudang priest Mu Taoist walked in first, followed by a group of Wudang Taoist priests in purple clothes and black crowns.

Before Shi Yan, head of Wudang, arrived, a bell was already ringing outside the hall.The time has come, Taoist Mu led the Wudang people down to welcome the guests, and the guests also entered the hall one after another.Everyone walked to their seats and sat down, with solemn expressions on their faces, making the atmosphere in the hall look solemn and serious.

This was a very serious and solemn event.Lu Xiaofeng was lying on the beam of the main hall, the lights below did not shine on it, the beam was pitch black with a cold smell.He had already heard the news of Ye Zhiran's departure, and there was nothing he could do about the Emei Sect at this time.But with City Lord Ye by her side, Lu Xiaofeng is still very relieved, and he should be worried about himself now.Looking at the people who came in one after another below, the man in Tsing Yi had a sullen expression on his face.

Originally, he should also be one of the guests who came in from below, sitting at the comfortable table and chairs, enjoying the warm and bright lights, maybe there will be a delicate and delicious meal before coming.Instead of lying on the cold and dark beams like now, I only ate a few radishes all day, so my stomach is still empty.

Once again, Lu Xiaofeng began to regret his trouble-loving character.Sure enough, he was looking for guilt... A certain chick sighed, and then focused his attention on the hall below. Shi Yan should be coming soon.

Shi Yan arrived very quickly.This well-known contemporary Wudang master has a profound cultivation base, and when he was young, he also achieved great fame in the Jianghu with high spirits. Nowadays, few people can match his internal strength and self-cultivation.However, from Lu Xiaofeng's point of view, at this very important time for the Wudang sect, the head of the Wudang sect looked a little tired.His face is very old, and people can't help but believe that the rumor that the head of Wudang's life is numbered is actually true.

The ceremony was proceeding slowly, and the next step was the most important part, announcing the next candidate for the head of Wudang.At this time, everyone's attention was immediately concentrated, and the scene was very quiet for a while, and the air on their faces seemed to become dry and tense.

The head of Wudang opened his mouth, and a name was about to come out of his mouth.At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that their eyes were darkened, and the 72 long-burning lights in the hall went out at the same time.

A few sharp gusts of wind blew, and the candles on the incense table in the altar flickered slightly, and quickly dimmed.

The entire hall was finally plunged into darkness.

There was an extremely sharp sound of wind, and the hiss of swords was mixed with a series of screams.The head of Wudang was startled when he noticed something brushing past his Taoist crown, he slightly loosened his hand holding the Seven Star Sword, and in the next second, the sword had been pulled out of the scabbard.

A sharp sword light pierced the darkness, followed by a clang of two swords colliding.In the pitch-black hall, for a moment, the sword roared like a wave, and the sword energy criss-crossed.It seems that there are two peerless masters fighting in the dark.

"Lamp, light up the lamp!"

Someone in the darkness yelled, and the people who were thrown into chaos by the turmoil in the darkness suddenly came back to their senses, and hurriedly touched the fire pocket.

In the background sound of swords screaming and sword whistling like waves, the lights finally turned on, but the scene in front of them was stunned. No one could believe what happened before them, and some even rubbed their eyes and suspected that they had misread it. .

Tie Jian, Wang Shidai, Bashan Xiaogu, Shuishangfei, Gao Xingkong, all of these people held a strange Taoist holding a murder weapon in their hands.The Eagle-eyed Seventh on the side even got into a fight with a tall and mighty old man.However, all of this is not as shocking as the pair who were fighting in the center of the hall at that time.

"Ye... City Lord Ye?"

The voice of the speaker trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Dressed in white, with a tall figure, the snow-colored sword light leaped from his palm like the boundless snow line on the glacier, reaching the sky.The person who appeared in the hall at this moment was none other than Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City who had followed Ye Zhiran down the mountain before.

And the other person... "Mu Taoist?!"

The warm lights illuminated the eyebrows of the two, and the sword light flashed under the flickering candlelight.City Lord Baiyun, who was dressed in white and snow-covered, turned his head slightly, as if looking in a certain direction, then pressed his wrist and put away his long sword.

He withdrew his sword, and the people on the opposite side did not move any more. However, the stagnant atmosphere in the hall at this moment did not ease at all because of the two of them withdrawing their hands.

"What... what's going on here?" Although Shaolin's Bitter Wisdom Master was not attacked in the darkness just now, it doesn't mean he can get out of the matter.The people in the entire hall could no longer stay out of the matter at this time, they had all been involved in a huge conspiracy, the darkness in it just thinking about it made people shudder.

"It's just like what you saw." There was a sound of flapping clothes, and a man dressed as a fireworker jumped off the beam.The lights illuminated his face, and everyone around was startled, "Lu Xiaofeng!"

The person who jumped down was Lu Xiaofeng, and in his hand he was still holding the purple gold crown that had just been brought down from the head of the head of the roof.

"You... aren't you being hunted down by Ximen Chuuxue? Why did you suddenly appear in the Wudang faction?!"

Lu Xiaofeng glanced in the direction of the sound, it was an elder of the Diancang Sword Sect surnamed Fang.He nodded at him, and said calmly, "That's just a play that Ximen and Zhiran put on together."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was even more astonished.Instinctively, some important event was about to happen, and everyone looked at each other silently. Master Kuzhi of Shaolin School took a step forward and recited a Buddhist gatha, "Amitabha, the benefactor has appeared now, but he can wait for us. Puzzled?"

Lu Xiaofeng also returned the purple gold crown in his hand to Master Shi Yan, looked back and said with a light smile, "Of course."

"Three months ago, Master Shi Yan, the head of Wudang, invited me to come here, and then told us that he was going to step down as the head of Wudang. But before that, he hoped to do a great thing for his fellow martial arts—to find out The owner of Youlin Villa, an old swordsman."

As soon as the name came out, there was a sound of air-conditioning at the scene.Those present were all people with some status in the Jianghu. Of course, they knew what the name Laodaohanzi and Ghost Villa meant.They are one of the layers of haze covering the rivers and lakes. It is said that there are only "dead people" there, and their power is huge, but people can't find any clues.

And if Lu Xiaofeng wanted to get in, he had to become a "dead person".

"This is the beginning of our plan." Thinking of the two months of fleeing all the way, Lu Xiaofeng's voice paused, that was really the worst crime he had ever suffered in his life. "Fortunately, I managed to sneak in. Then, half a month ago, Ghost Villa finally took action."

His eyes flicked across the few people who were taken down by Gao Xingkong and Wang Shidai, and his eyes fell on the tall old man who had stopped fighting with the Eagle-eyed Seventh. On the day of the inauguration ceremony, assassinate the heads of all factions! Call it 'Operation Tianlei'."

Ignoring the gasps of shock that sounded again in the hall, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes fell on Mu Taoist who had been silent since he appeared, "My task is to take the crown from the head of Wudang. I originally I thought that what I was going to do was the most important part of this plan, but now it seems that I am still just an introduction."

His voice paused, and he finally asked a question that everyone present had been wanting to ask, but no one dared to ask, "Elder Mu Taoist, can you tell me why the Seven Star Sword, the master of Wudang, appeared in your hand? ?”

All eyes immediately focused on Taoist Mu, but Taoist Mu in Wudang Taoist robe had a calm expression on his face.He had been listening carefully to Lu Xiaofeng's words and did not intend to interrupt him at all. Seeing that he finally pointed the words at himself, Taoist Mu just sighed, "What do you want to say? I took the Seven Star Sword while I was in the middle of the chaos?"

"Otherwise is there any other explanation?"

"Then you haven't thought about it, maybe it's not me who wants to grab the Seven Star Sword, but this person opposite me?"

Suddenly, the hall was quiet.A few steps away, on the opposite side of Taoist Mu, the city master Ye, who was dressed in white, stood quietly in the same place with a calm expression and a noble demeanor.
