At the same time, Xie Lige also looked in that direction.
He snorted coldly, "Who is it?"
The thicket shook slightly, making rustling sounds. A hand pushed open the thicket and a figure flashed from behind. A beautiful woman in a palace dress walked out gracefully. Behind her were two brothers who looked very close. At first, the beautiful woman in the palace dress raised her eyebrows slightly, giving off a fierce feeling. However, when she saw Xie Lige, she suddenly changed into a different person.
Shi Guanyin's face, which was as cold as ice, suddenly became as warm as spring. "Elder brother!"
Xie Lige saw that it was his sister and felt slightly relieved. He looked at the two brothers behind her with a confused expression. Then, he shifted his gaze to No Flower and frowned in confusion. Why did he feel that something was a little strange?
No Flower felt the gaze on her. She cupped her hands and bowed.
Xie Lige saw this scene and frowned even more. However, his brows soon relaxed again.
"Qi 'er, you went to Mount Shaoshi?"
Shi Guanyin nodded. "Some things should be settled as soon as possible. Since No Flower is going to inherit the Huangshan Sword School in the future, it's naturally better to stay away from those guys. Big Brother, have you discussed this matter with Chu Liuxiang?"
Xie Lige nodded. He took out the thing that Chu Liuxiang gave him and handed it to Shi Guanyin. "This is the official CD. Now this land is completely ours. The area within a radius of ten miles is under our jurisdiction. The yamen has no right to interfere. It's fine as long as we hand over some money to the national treasury every year."
Shi Guanyin took the official CD and opened it. She quickly browsed through it. The content was similar to what Xie Lige had said. Her eyes lingered on the Imperial Jade Seal in the lower right corner for a long time. After a pause, she couldn't help but touch it.
This was the title deed of the Huangshan Sword School.
This was a scene that she had fantasized about day and night for many years. Now that she had succeeded so easily, she actually felt that it was unreal.
After handing the deed to Shi Guanyin, Xie Lige looked at No Flower and beckoned her over. "No Flower, come here."
No Flower leaned forward slightly and walked over.
Nangong Ling looked curiously at No Flower's firm back and the expressionless Xie Lige behind her. He blinked his eyes in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
Xie Lige sighed as he looked at No Flower, who was smiling in front of him. He had heard of No Flower from his good friend. Even though he had never read the original work, he still had a deep impression of this person. She was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, and martial arts. She was scheming, courteous, and polite. It was a pity that she was defeated by Chu Liuxiang's protagonist aura.
In fact, No Flower's knowledge was more than enough for him to be a Sect Leader. He was scheming and knew how to put on an act!
What's more —
Xie Lige looked at No Flower's otherworldly aura with satisfaction. This kind of reclusive aura, which had been trained in Buddhism, was a perfect example of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
No Flower could see Xie Lige's appreciation for her. She was full of doubts. She had no choice. She still thought that she was the peerless monk No Flower.
Xie Lige looked at the void and said, "You've returned to the secular world, right?"
No Flower said, "Yes!"
"Do you want to change back to the Li surname?" Xie Lige said indifferently.
No Flower was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Xie Lige would suddenly say such a thing at this time.
In his heart, Xie Lige had always been a synonym for unfathomable. He knew everything, and there was nothing he didn't know. He was like a high and mighty god looking down at a group of ants in Jianghu. From the very beginning, he had instinctively chosen to surrender.
But this time, Xie Lige asked such a question.
No Flower answered cautiously, "It's up to you."
Xie Lige said straightforwardly, "Then there's no need to change. The Li family is no longer here. Even if the Huangshan Sword School is rebuilt, it will no longer be the Huangshan Sword School of the past. You, a junior, shouldn't bear our hatred. Your mother has dragged you two into this. If you have children in the future, your surname will be Li. It doesn't matter if you don't have a surname."
To put it bluntly, Xie Lige didn't have much obsession with rebuilding the Huangshan Sword School. He even thought that it was just a way to appease his sister.
Shi Guanyin also heard it. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why?"
She felt that the atmosphere was unusual. When Xie Lige refused to be the leader of the Huangshan Sword School at first, she didn't take it seriously and believed his words. However, what he said just now, which sounded like his last words, made her break out in a cold sweat. She couldn't help but have a thought.
Shi Guanyin had never thought of herself as a good person. She even knew that she was sick. She had been sick since the night of the Huangshan Sword School's massacre. She had been sick for decades, and the darkness and despair at that time still haunted her even now. Therefore, she also had a guess that her brother might have the same darkness and despair. He was also sick, but he suppressed it all.
Xie Lige waved his hand and successfully stopped Shi Guanyin from saying what she was going to say next.
Shi Guanyin frowned hard and obediently kept her mouth shut.
After that, Xie Lige waved at Nangong Ling and asked him to come over.
Nangong Ling immediately jumped up and jumped in front of Xie Lige. He said excitedly, "Ancestor, what can I do for you …"
Xie Lige slapped him on the head and snorted, "Stop calling me ancestor. Call me godfather!"
Nangong Ling gasped and took a step back reflexively. When he saw Xie Lige's serious face, he hesitated and turned his head to look at No Flower, who was deep in thought.
Xie Lige followed his gaze and found No Flower, who had nothing to do with it. He raised his head and said indifferently, "You too!"
No Flower's eyes widened slightly. What was going on?
However, they had the power in their hands. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to call him father. Moreover, their mother also agreed to force them to call him father.
Shi Guanyin thought that her brother wanted a godson because he didn't have any children. Was there something wrong with that?
There was nothing wrong with that!
She had two, so it didn't matter if she gave one to him. She could have both of them.
"Godfather!" In the end, the two brothers unwillingly blurted out this sentence.
Xie Lige was immediately happy when he heard this. He said to the system in his heart, "How is it? Did the score go up?!
This made the target call me godfather!! "
The system looked at the page and found that the experience bar had taken a big step forward as if it had taken steroids. It said excitedly, "It went up, it went up, it went up to 70!!"
He had really made a profit. Although the host was shameless this time, if the host could complete the next test so quickly, he was willing to kneel down and cheer for the host!!
In the outside world, Xie Lige was still smiling. He took Shi Guanyin and the other two to look around the Huangshan Sword School. Then, he took them back to the base of A Gang of Beggars.
The first day: Xie Lige went out.
Along the way, the members of A Gang of Beggars silently watched as the Great Elder, who was usually lazily squatting in the stone house, emitted his own brilliance for the first time. A terrifying aura filled the sky. With a stick, a bottle of wine, and an eagle, that person had already walked dozens of meters while talking and laughing. The path he took was the path of the major sects. Pedestrians respectfully avoided him along the way.
The first stop was the majestic Huashan School. Xie Lige raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine from the flask. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar scene. He seemed to have done this before.
"I can go in peace after I kill you all!" Xie Lige whispered. Step by step, he walked from the foot of the mountain to the top and arrived in front of the Huashan School.
He sounded like he was talking to himself, but in fact, his voice exploded in the ears of the people in Huashan School.
When the silent people in the Huashan School heard this, some of them closed their eyes in silence. Some of them cried out in disbelief, "How is that possible? That person is still alive!!"
The nightmare in their hearts had finally come to take their lives.
The horrifying reality made many people uneasy. More people chose to run away, but it was useless. The second they ran away, they were killed by a green bamboo stick!
Xie Lige drank wine. His mind seemed to be drunk, but his body was strange. The bamboo stick was airtight. In an instant, the headmaster and elders of the Huashan School were all killed by the stick. The rest of the people fled in all directions.
When the spies of the other sects saw this scene, some of the older ones couldn't help but recall the shocking incident in the past. Their hearts trembled, and they ran down the mountain with their disciples. They didn't dare to look at the hellish scene in front of the school.
Of course, Xie Lige knew all this, but he didn't care. He walked out of the door lazily, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the disciple didn't know that he had escaped death. He still asked in a daze, "Master, why did we run away?"
The man said in disappointment, "Of course we ran. If we didn't run, you would have died. When I taught you, there was one thing that I told you to never do. Do you know what it was?"
"Yes!" The disciple said indifferently, "The Huangshan Sword School!"
The master looked at his disciple and slapped his head. He said, "Why did you ask if you knew? That killing god is back. You said that the people who participated in that incident will have a good life. If we don't run, do you believe that we will all die there together?"
That was the killing god who had once attacked many sects.
When the disciple heard this, he couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. His master wouldn't lie to him.
"Is it really the Eldest Young Master?
Oh my god, didn't they say that he was missing?
How could he appear in the Huashan School and kill all the higher-ups?! "
The disciple was very excited. That was the famous Eldest Young Master, and he was lucky enough to meet him!
The master looked around and found that there was no one around. He whispered to his disciple, "What else could it be? Revenge. Just wait and see, this won't be the only one!"
He seemed to be able to see the bloody Jianghu in the next few days.
In fact, the old spy's words came true.
The massacre of the Huashan School caused a heated discussion in the Jianghu. They all knew that the massacre of the Huangshan Sword School was strange, but they didn't expect that it would be related to these famous sects.
"The Huashan School can be considered a big sect. I didn't expect that the higher-ups would be killed, and the remaining ordinary disciples would scatter. It's so sad!" Someone couldn't help but sigh.
Some people didn't agree. "That's what they did. First, the Eldest Young Master didn't touch the civilians, and second, he let the disciples go. He only killed those who participated in that incident. He's much more benevolent than those people."
"That's right!"
Everyone agreed. Their ancestors had been in the Jianghu for generations, so they were familiar with this secret.
"But which sect is it now?"
"It's the third. Yesterday, the Kongtong Sect was destroyed. Next, it's the Quanzhen Sect's turn. There aren't many big sects left." Someone familiar with the intelligence immediately replied.
However, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It had only been a few days since the massacre of the Huashan School, but the news had already spread like wildfire. The entire Jianghu and the imperial court were in a state of chaos. They were all paying attention to the development of this incident.
The fourth day: The Kongtong Sect was destroyed.
The fifth day: The Quanzhen Sect and Qingcheng Mountain were destroyed.
The sixth day: The Emei Sect was destroyed.
The seventh day: The Valley of Everlasting Wind and the Hua Sect were destroyed.
On the seventh day, the Huangshan Sword School announced to the world that they had been rebuilt.
On the same day, Xie Lige also stopped his revenge operation. Everyone, regardless of whether it was the Jianghu or the imperial court, couldn't help but touch their frightened hearts and sigh that they had survived. When they heard that the Huangshan Sword School was being rebuilt, everyone started to prepare gifts.
Southern Sea pearls?
Here!
Everwhite snow ginseng?
Here!
Gold, silver, jewelry?
Here!
Here, here, here!
They would give them anything they wanted, but don't go too far. Their hearts couldn't take it!
Rare treasures were piled up on the carriage that was going to be gifted to the Huangshan Sword School. Everyone hoped that these things would be able to stop the killing intent of the Killing God.
No Flower looked at the treasures piled up like a mountain in front of the palace and blinked. He didn't respond to the subtle probing of those who gave the gifts. In fact, he also didn't know where his godfather had gone.
In fact, when Xie Lige destroyed the last sect, he came back for a while. However, he quickly left, saying that he wanted to travel. As for the location, no one knew.
