The Counterattack of the Villains

In the early morning, Li Mu called the maid to change his clothes according to Xiong Ba's memory.

He decided not to act rashly for the time being, and until he walked out of his own "Tao" and cultivated his own "meaning", he pretended not to know the existence of Emperor Shitian.

Anyway, now that he has a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, the poison he secretly administered has no effect on him.

I don’t know what Emperor Shakten’s way is, or maybe he didn’t understand his own way at all?

If judged by Li Mu's thinking, he would give Emperor Shitian the word "Gou".

Back then, because he couldn't beat Wu Wudi, he just stayed up and bided his time. It wasn't until Wu Wudi was beaten to death that he came out to make trouble again.

It simply brought Gou Dao to its extreme. If Emperor Shitian had his own way, it would definitely be Gou Dao.

Looking at Emperor Shitian's martial arts, the Sacred Heart Art has powerful defense and healing capabilities. It can even bring people back to life and make people immortal. What is this but Gou?

In terms of martial arts, whether it is the Four Tribulations of the Sacred Heart or the Four Ultimate Skills of the Sacred Heart, or the Kuang Lei of Emperor Tian and Wanren Chuanyun, they all actually belong to the category of "force" and do not contain any "intention" in them.

He is relying on the vast cultivation he has accumulated for two thousand years to overwhelm others with his strength.

When he encounters an opponent whose skill is far inferior to his, but whose level is higher than his, he will have to rush to the street.

In other words, Li Mu only needs to understand his own way and make his martial arts meaningful, and he can steadily torture the Death Emperor Shitian.

The main mission of this reincarnation is relatively clear, because Xiongba's obsession is very simple, just one: to dominate the world, become the supreme martial arts king, and create his own iron-barreled empire.

However, although obsession is simple, it is not easy to achieve.

He didn't pay attention to the forces such as Wushuang City, Supreme Court, Wushenjue Palace, Ten sects, Tiexin Island, and Sword Worship Villa at all.

With the power of the Tianxiahui, his martial arts, and the advantage of foresight, he can settle the matter with three strikes, five strikes, and two divides.

His real opponent is actually just Tianmen.

As long as Tianmen exists and Emperor Shitian does not die, he will definitely stir up trouble in the dark.

If this force cannot be eliminated, how can we dominate the world? What kind of iron-clad empire is there?

But this power is indeed too terrifying. If the martial arts masters collected by Emperor Shitian were released at once, they would be enough to wipe out the current world several times.

Even the Tianxiahui can't stop Tianmen's all-out attack.

If he wants to destroy Tianmen, Tianxiahui will naturally be his foundation. The most important thing is that he must win over all the masters he can win over and unite all the forces that can be united.

First of all, there must be no problems within the Tianxiahui. The three disciples must be well integrated. As for Duanlang...

Li Mu spread his arms and let his maid arrange his clothes and accessories, while his mind was thinking about how to turn Duan Lang into a sharp blade in his hand.

Duanlang is very ambitious, but in the final analysis he is just passionate about fame and fortune. In fact, this is a very useful sword. As long as you give him the power he wants, he can kill people for you.

But this person is also a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will hurt others, but if you use it badly, you will hurt yourself. You have to master it yourself.

Tomorrow is the day for the martial arts competition between the gangs. This martial arts competition will determine the masters of the three halls.

Maybe we can make a fuss about this matter.

After the maid helped him arrange his clothes, he bowed respectfully and stood aside. Xiong Ba said to a maid: "Go and call Wen Chou Chou."

"yes."

…

In the morning, Duanlang was cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom as usual.

Although his martial arts skills are not low, he is only a servant with the lowest status in Tianxiahui, and even his maidservants have a higher status than him.

But his heart was burning at this moment, because tomorrow was the day for the final election of the hall master, and his chance to make a comeback finally came.

Suddenly, he faintly heard two voices talking. When he heard clearly who was speaking, his heart moved. He tiptoed to the edge and listened attentively.

At this time, he was sitting on a high ridge, with a height difference of nearly ten feet. There was an aisle above, and there were steps not far away for going up and down. At this time, he was leaning on the ridge.

"Chou Chou, what do you think of Duan Lang?"

Li Mu put his hands behind his back and strolled out of the corner, walking to the aisle above where Duan Lang stood.

Wen Chou Chou was one step behind Li Mu, bowing slightly, with a flattering smile on his face as always.

After listening to Li Mu's question, Wen Chou Chou speculated on his thoughts and said cautiously: "This boy Duan Lang is naturally far behind the three young masters."

Kan Xia's Duan Lang's face darkened, and he snorted secretly in his heart, you blind bastard, wait until you Duan Ye gains power, and see how I can manipulate you.

Just listen to Li Mudao: "No, on the contrary, in the opinion of this gang leader, Duanlang's qualifications and understanding are definitely not inferior to Shuang'er and the others, and his diligence and tenacity are even worse."

Wen Chou Chou said puzzledly: "So the gang leader is actually very optimistic about this kid, then why these years..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Why have you deliberately suppressed him all these years?"

Wen Chou Chou smiled flatteringly and said, "The leader of the gang has a deep meaning in doing this. I don't dare to make any assumptions."

Li Mu glanced at him with a half-smile but said, "Aren't you the best at guessing the thoughts of our gang leader? If you hadn't been so smart, how could you be in the position you are in today?"

"Hehehe..."

Wen Chou Chou covered his mouth with the feather fan in his hand, and let out a shy but embarrassing chuckle, saying: "The gang leader is as kind as a mountain to the little ones, so the little ones will naturally devote themselves to sharing the gang leader's worries."

"But the leader's wisdom is as deep as the ocean. How can a young man guess everything? Please give me some advice."

Even Xiong Ba was used to being flattered by Wen Chou Chou's words, and Li Mu would not take it to heart.

"Duanlang is actually a talented person, but he has one of his biggest weaknesses, which is that he is too impetuous. In his heart, because he is the son of Nanlin Swordshead, he is quite arrogant."

"I met several of them when I was a kid. Duanlang is the youngest, but he always wants to stand out when trouble comes. He acts like the boss of everyone."

"To put it nicely, it means being responsible, but to put it badly, it means being extremely ambitious. This kind of mentality can easily be exploited by others. If you let it go, you will end up either becoming a traitor or committing the following crimes."

Duan Lang, who was under Kan, was frightened when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had such an impression in the gang leader's mind. This was very bad.

Just listen to Wen Chou Chou say: "In this case, why does the gang leader keep this person? Shouldn't danger be nipped in the cradle?"

Li Mu sighed and said: "This gang leader is reluctant to part with him. If this boy can be trained, he will definitely become a general of our Tianxiahui. It is really a pity to kill him like this."

"So I have deliberately suppressed him over the years and made him a lowly servant, just to temper his temper and make him learn to be modest and prudent."

"Otherwise, if I show that I value him, he will inevitably become arrogant, offend many people, and ruin his future."

"In the past ten years, when I taught Shuang'er and the others martial arts, this kid often secretly learned from the sidelines and practiced martial arts secretly in private. The leader of the gang knows all about these things."

"If it were another person, he would have died a hundred and eighty times. It was his gang leader who was so indulgent."

Duanlang's body was shaking wildly, and his face turned blue and white. He didn't expect that the gang leader would know that he secretly learned martial arts.

Moreover, he deliberately let it go. It turned out that the gang leader suppressed me in this way in order to train me. But not only did I fail to understand the gang leader's good intentions, I also harbored resentment.

Duanlang felt moved and ashamed at the same time.

Li Mu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Wen Chou Chou, and continued: "Chou Chou, you have discovered Duan Lang secretly learning martial arts many times, but you just drove him away privately and never reported it to the gang leader. How did you do it?

Thought?"

Wen Chou Chou's face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a bang, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Gang leader, please forgive me. I didn't mean to deceive the gang leader, it's just... just..."

Li Muleng snorted: "It's just that you have compassion and don't want him to be discovered and die at the hands of the gang leader, right? Do you think you can really hide it from the gang leader with your little tricks?"

Wen Chou Chou kowtowed and said, "The gang leader is aware of everything. Chou Chou knows he is wrong."

Li Mu said calmly: "Get up. Fortunately, you made mistakes and did not ruin the gang leader's affairs. However, if you dare to deceive the gang leader again in the future, you will be punished without mercy."

"Thank you, gang leader, please give me more gang leaders, I don't dare anymore."

Duanlang, who was under the bridge, was speechless and ashamed.

He also remembered that when he was a child, he secretly watched the gang leader teach martial arts, and was discovered several times by Wen Chou Chou, who beat and scolded him and drove him away.

I have always been resentful of him in my heart, and I never thought that his real intention was to protect myself.

But when I was young, I couldn't have imagined so much.

If the gang leader had no intention of cultivating him, and Wen Chou Chou didn't drive him away at that time, but exposed him, he would probably not have any bones left now.

Just now I was thinking about how to take revenge on Wen Chou Chou for Duan Lang after he gained power, but now I was only filled with gratitude and guilt.

After Wen Chou Chou stood up, he said tentatively: "Gang leader, you are determined to cultivate Duan Lang, but he doesn't seem to realize this, and now he is becoming more arrogant and frivolous."

"When the results for the final selection of the hall leader were posted yesterday, he seemed to have already secured the victory and was determined to be the hall leader."

Li Mu sighed again and said: "He has indeed disappointed me many times over the years. Originally, I had imagined that there would be four halls in the world."

"Because there are four directions in the sky and the earth. When I will unify the world in the future, I will need four hall masters to guard the four directions for me and build an iron barrel."

"Besides Tianshuang Hall, Feiyun Hall, and Shenfeng Hall, there should be another Fenglang Hall. Duanlang is the son of Nanlin Swordshead, and he has an innate advantage in guarding the south."

"But now it seems that we have to wait a little longer. With his martial arts skills, he will definitely reach the finals tomorrow. I will summon him then and order him to lose to Shuang'er and the others."

"Then let's see his reaction. This is my last test for him. If it satisfies me, I will send him out to do a few more things and make some achievements."

"In this case, it is justifiable to promote him as the leader of Fluxus Hall."

"If he is resentful about this matter, then there is no need to waste the efforts of this gang leader and just kick him out of the Tianxiahui."

"I have given him so many years and so many opportunities, but he still can't realize. What is the use of this gang leader for such a person?"

Wen Chou Chou quickly complimented: "The gang leader is wise. The gang leader has been extremely benevolent to Duan Lang. If he doesn't live up to his expectations, he can't blame others."

"Well, I'm telling you this so that you can be prepared so that you can cooperate at critical moments. I still trust the tacit understanding between you and my gang leader."

"Thank you to the leader for your trust. I am willing to die for the leader."

The voices of the two gradually faded away. Wen Chou Chou, who was walking behind Li Mu, did not notice the slight curve in the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

Duanlang couldn't calm down for a long time, and his eyes even turned a little red.

The gang leader has such good intentions for me, but he is still unaware of it. He is really a bastard.

But he felt a little aggrieved. When he was a child, he stood up for everything, just to protect Nie Feng and his friends, but he was regarded as ambitious. Who could he ask to explain this?

However, after reflecting on his words and deeds, he found that he could not refute his impetuousness and arrogance.

But he still felt that he just wanted to be recognized by others and wanted to be reused by the gang leader.

Fortunately, he accidentally heard these words today, and it was not too late. His chance to change his destiny had arrived.

Duanlang's eyes were full of excitement, Master of the Mountain Dew Hall, I've made up my mind.

…

Tianshan Mountain is located in the northwest of China. It is a towering mountain. It is the head of the mountains in the Tianyin City area. The Tianxiahui General Altar is located on the top of Tianshan Mountain.

The altar inside the main altar is built against the mountain. It is majestic and breathtaking.

A majestic palace stands directly to the north. There is a plaque hanging on the palace, which reads "The First Floor in the World" in five large gilded characters.

To the west of the main altar is a vast school ground with a bluestone arena in the center.

In the school grounds, thousands of disciples of the Tianxiahui, wearing red sleeveless vests and black trousers, knelt down on one knee with fists clasped and shouted in unison: "The leader of the gang is wise, civilized and moral, and he is destined to rule the world."

Li Mugao sat on the gang leader's throne, raised his hand, and said: "Excuse me, stay calm."

"Thank you, leader."

This kind of behavior makes him look like an emperor.

The world view of this world is very strange. Because the overall force value is too high, top masters often have the power to destroy a city with one person and form an army with one person. Martial arts masters are superior to ordinary people.

Therefore, in this world, there is no concept of country and emperor at all. The ruler is called the supreme king of martial arts, and the court does not have any functional departments such as three ministers, nine ministers, three provinces and six ministries.

Those who rule the world are the Jianghu sects and martial arts families who support the supreme martial arts. They are equivalent to officials at all levels.

The army is also composed of people who practice martial arts, so the number will not be too large. Ordinary people in this world are not even qualified to be soldiers.

Unless he was adopted by the army from a young age, he would be passed down from generation to generation just like the disciples of Tianxiahui.

It is precisely because of this weird world view that the world will rise strongly and occupy half of China.

As the leader of the largest gang in the world, Xiongba is no different from an emperor.

Today's era, in terms of humanities, customs and social forms, is almost equivalent to the Ming Dynasty.

But the pattern of the world, before the rise of the Tianxiahui, was more like a chaotic world of warlords fighting.

The Supreme Court is almost just a decoration, and can only barely maintain the stability of the eastern, northeastern and central plains of China.

Disputes and killings continued in other places, until the world rose in the northwest, and the hegemony cultivated three great disciples: Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng.

Under the conquest of Tianxiahui disciples led by three people, the northwest, west, southwest and parts of the northern and southern areas of China have all fallen under the control of Tianxiahui.

Although many people died in the martial arts conquest during this process, after being occupied by the Tianxiahui, there were almost no major disputes in these places.

This is a huge benefit to ordinary people.

Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts, and the Tianxiahui, Wushuang City in northern Shaanxi, and the Supreme Court of the Central Plains form a tripartite situation.

Tianxiahui is undoubtedly the most powerful party, similar to Cao Wei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, followed by the Supreme Court, which is equal to Sun Wu, and Wushuang City is the least powerful, just like Shu Han.

After Li Mu was replaced, Wushuang City could be said to be in the possession of Tianxiahui, and he could easily capture it without even sending Nie Feng.

After that, all he needs to do is plan carefully and annex the territory of the Supreme Court to unify the world and gather all the strength to deal with Tianmen.

The day Tianmen is destroyed is the day when his reincarnation ends.

"Everyone, in this battle for the throne of the Hall Leader, the Gang Leader wants to seek fairness. We, Master Shuang, Master Yun, and Master Feng, all have to participate in the competition."

"In today's preliminary round, six capable candidates must be selected to participate in the final round."

"Everyone should cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and do your best to let the gang leader see your abilities."

"Even if you fail to win the position of leader in the end, you will definitely be reused by the leader."

As soon as Wen Chou Chou finished speaking, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami immediately rang out in the school grounds.

The competition started soon. This competition was based on drawing lots and matching, which was relatively fair.

The reason why it is relative is naturally because black-box operations will always exist, but this black-box operation does not undermine fairness too much.

Li Mu just ordered not to let Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng confront each other.

There is no doubt that the martial arts of the three major disciples will be second only to Xiongba in the world, and the others are naturally no match for them.

But there are also many masters, and some of them are even only half a step weaker than the three major disciples.

Duan Lang in the original drama was shown to be ruthless and ruthless, beating his opponent to the point of breaking bones and tendons in a martial arts competition, and was almost crippled.

But after overhearing Li Mu's words, he fought very gently this time. After defeating his opponent, he clasped his fists and said, "Process."

When Wen Chou Chou saw this scene, he said to Li Mu in surprise: "Gang leader, Duan Lang seems to be a little different."

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the anger is not that bad anymore. This is a good sign."

When Duan Lang came off the stage, he secretly glanced at Li Mu and saw that he was smiling, obviously very satisfied with himself, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

And this time he was no longer as flamboyant as in the original play, but stood aside in a very low-key manner.

Therefore, he did not cause Bu Jingyun to dislike him and take the initiative to provoke him, causing him to challenge Bu Jingyun by name.

The competition lasted from morning until sunset, and the top six were finally revealed.

Wen Chou Chou's pretentious voice once again sounded on the school field: "Everyone, after a fierce competition, the six top players who entered the finals have all stood out."

"They are the three disciples of our gang leader, Master Shuang, Master Yun, Master Feng, Yang Zhen who was born in the Wudang sect, Xu Hong who studied in Japan, and Duan Lang, the son of Nanlin Sword Leader."

"Tomorrow, three hall masters will be selected. Victory will belong to the strong. Let us wait and see who will be the hall master."

After Wen Chou Chou finished speaking, there was another round of cheers on the school field.

Li Mu took a deep look at Duan Lang, stood up and left, always with a smile on his face.

Everyone dispersed, and Duan Lang was surrounded by the disciples he had become friends with and left the school grounds.

Returning to the courtyard of his residence, a disciple named Hong Yu asked Duan Lang: "Duan Lang, do you have the confidence to defeat the three direct disciples of the gang leader?"

Duanlang pondered: "I saw their skills today, and I'm somewhat confident, but I won't defeat them."

Everyone was confused when they heard this, and one disciple asked: "Why is this? Don't you always want to get ahead?"

Duan Lang shook his head and said: "It's enough to reach the top six. Even if you can't be the leader of the hall, you will definitely be reused and you will still have the opportunity to stand out."

"The three of them are the gang leader's disciples. If I defeat them, wouldn't I be losing face to the gang leader?"

All the disciples suddenly realized. Hong Yu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "That's right, Duan Lang. Not only are you great in martial arts, but you are also so thoughtful in dealing with others. If you don't stand out, who will stand out?"

"When you get up from now on, don't forget to take care of us brothers."

Duan Lang suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. In the past, he only wanted to strive for the top, to stand out, and to be better than others in everything.

But that approach is not pleasing at all. What he said just now is only based on the gang leader's words, letting him know what is best for him.

At this moment, Hong Yu's words made him realize that this was the so-called tact in dealing with others.

At this moment, Duan Lang actually realized that the world is not about fighting for power and fighting, but about human nature.

A cheerful smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and put his arms around the shoulders of Hong Yu and another brother, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, if I, Duanlang, become prosperous, I will never forget my brothers."
