The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 225 It's Too Late to Leave

Li Mu's expression was incredibly complex, filled with shock, surprise, and a hint of bewilderment.

He simply couldn't understand how his sister had ended up with these two men who were practically on death's door.

"Brother, listen to me, they are..."

Li Qin was about to introduce Gu Zhendong and Chen Xiao to her brother, but Li Mu abruptly pulled her aside.

"I don't have time for introductions. Come with me now. These two are nothing but trouble, and they probably won't survive the night. Don't get involved with them."

As he spoke, Li Mu started to leave, pulling his sister along with him.

"Hey, Brother, what are you doing? Let go, let go of me..."

Li Qin broke free from her brother's grasp.

Chen Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why do you say I won't survive the night?"

Li Mu said indignantly, "I warned you this morning. You provoked the people of Cangjian Pavilion and didn't run away. You actually came back. Okay, you come back, but why did you have to drag my sister into this? Forget it, I don't want to waste my breath on you. You don't know anything about what's going on here!"

Chen Xiao smiled. "I actually do know."

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, then said dismissively, "You know nothing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qin said helplessly, "Brother, he really does know."

Li Mu was stunned by her words. "You told him everything? You've made progress that fast?"

"Oh, Brother, what are you talking about?"

Li Qin rolled her eyes at her brother, then pointed at Gu Zhendong and said, "Brother, take a good look at who this is!"

Li Mu glanced at Gu Zhendong and said casually, "I know, he's just this kid's companion!"

"Take a closer look!"

Li Qin said, displeased.

Li Mu looked at him more carefully. He suddenly felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Gu Zhendong said in a trembling voice, "Mu'er, it's me, your Uncle Gu!"

Li Mu shuddered violently, his eyes suddenly widening. "Uncle Gu? Are you Gu Zhendong, Uncle Gu?"

"That's right, it's me! Mu'er, let Uncle take a look at you!"

Gu Zhendong looked excited, his eyes full of concern.

When Gu Zhendong was hiding in the Maha Gate back then, Li Mu was already a ten-year-old boy, so he remembered more than his sister.

Moreover, Gu Zhendong had taught Li Mu a lot of cultivation techniques back then.

"Uncle Gu, it really is you..."

As soon as he saw Gu Zhendong, Li Mu recalled the days when his parents were still alive. At that time, the Maha Gate was at its peak, and even the Liu family knew that Gu Zhendong was hiding in the Maha Gate, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Now, in contrast to the past, Li Mu's eyes were filled with bitterness.

He remembered more about his parents and the Maha Gate than his sister, which meant that he suffered more pain than she did.

Over the years, the scene of his family's destruction had never disappeared from his mind. Instead, it was constantly replayed in his midnight nightmares.

This also created his forbearing character.

"Uncle Gu, now is not the time to talk. Let's go quickly, or it will be too late!"

Li Mu said with a look of panic.

Since this person was Uncle Gu, he couldn't just leave him alone.

Li Qin asked, "Brother, what's going on? Why are you so nervous?"

Li Mu sighed and then explained the whole story.

It turned out that after Chen Xiao crippled Qi Zi Dian Jian (Seven-Character Lightning Sword) Ding Yi early in the morning, Wang Sanye (Third Master Wang) of Cangjian Pavilion rushed to Qingcheng at noon.

This Wang Sanye's name was Wang Tianying.

He was the third son of Wang Xingde, the master of Cangjian Pavilion. He was tyrannical and unruly, and his strength was not bad. He was already a Qi Jing (Qi Realm) peak martial artist, only one step away from Hua Jing (Transformation Realm).

After listening to Li Mu's words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but frown.

Li Mu said, "Now you know you're afraid, right!"

Chen Xiao shook his head. "I'm not afraid, but it's a bit of a pity. Why didn't Wang Xingde come?"

"..."

Li Mu was speechless for a while, then said, "Stop pretending here. Come with me quickly, or it'll be too late!"

Chen Xiao still shook his head. "It's too late to leave now. If you don't believe me, look!"

Li Mu looked in the direction Chen Xiao was pointing, and saw a convoy driving over.

The convoy consisted of more than a dozen vehicles. Except for the two SUVs at the front, the rest were all luxury minibuses.

The advantage of this kind of car was that it could carry a lot of people.

Sure enough, the car doors opened and a crowd of people poured out, numbering four or five hundred, surrounding Chen Xiao and the others.

Li Mu's face turned pale with fright. These people were obviously all disciples of Cangjian Pavilion, because even the weakest of them were Qi Jing (Qi Realm) martial artists, and any one of them was no weaker than Ding Yi.

At the head was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a cigar in his mouth and a trench coat draped coolly over his shoulders, full of momentum.

This person was Wang Xingde's third son, Cangjian Pavilion's Wang Sanye (Third Master Wang), Wang Tianying!

In fact, the reason they were able to find this place was not complicated. Chen Xiao's whereabouts were not a secret, and after he left the hotel, he rented a car, which Wang Tianying quickly found out about.

And the rented car had GPS positioning, so Wang Tianying followed the GPS positioning and found it.

"Who is Chen Xiao from Jiangbei?"

Wang Tianying walked to the front of the crowd with a cigar in his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and the trench coat fell off, and the person behind him caught it smoothly. The whole set of movements was incredibly smooth, as if he had practiced it countless times.

Chen Xiao took a step forward. "I am Chen Xiao. Who are you?"

Wang Tianying sized Chen Xiao up and sneered, "Hmph, listen up. I am Wang Tianying of Cangjian Pavilion. You beat up my people from Cangjian Pavilion and didn't run away. As expected of the Supreme of Jiangbei, you really have some guts."

"Are you talking about Ding Yi? A dog-like person, it's okay to beat him up. You came all the way to find me, wouldn't it be to seek revenge for him?"

Chen Xiao said with a playful look.

Wang Tianying sneered, "He is indeed a dog-like person, but as the saying goes, you have to look at the owner when you beat a dog. Without our permission, you beat Cangjian Pavilion's dog, which means you don't give Cangjian Pavilion any face!"

"Of course, if you hand over the spiritual weapon, then you are a friend of Cangjian Pavilion, and that's a different story!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "So after all this, you're still here for that spiritual weapon. But unfortunately, Cangjian Pavilion has no face with me, Chen Xiao. Even if I wanted to give it, I couldn't!"

"Damn it, you little bastard, you're very arrogant. Do you think this is Jiangbei? The rabble of the Underworld Palace are afraid of you, but Cangjian Pavilion is not!"

Wang Tianying was majestic. This time, he used hundreds of disciples from Cangjian Pavilion, vowing to take down Chen Xiao.

Of course, taking down Chen Xiao was a small matter. The main goal was to seize the spiritual weapon!
