The Counterattack of the Villains

Li Mu stared at Huo Lie and said nothing for a long time. Behind him, Bu Jingyun kept breathing heavily, his mind racing, thinking about how to save his uncle's life.

But he thought about it over and over, but he still couldn't figure out what he could do to save his uncle in the current situation, and his heart sank.

After a while, Li Mu suddenly let out a long sigh and turned around. Bu Jingyun quickly collected his emotions and regained his expressionless expression.

Li Mu put his hands behind his back and said in a rather uninterested voice, "That's it, you go. I and you other short-sighted people really have nothing to say. Yun'er, send them out."

"Yes." Bu Jingyun's eyes moved, his face showed no expression, he just cupped his fists and saluted, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.

Although he couldn't understand why the tyrant, who had always been domineering and domineering, and those who followed me would prosper and those who went against me, would let his assassin come to kill him.

But it was an unexpected surprise that his uncle could save his life, and he didn't want to think about it so much for the time being.

Just when he walked towards Huo Lie, Huo Lie suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Mu in surprise: "You won't kill us? What's your conspiracy?"

"Conspiracy?" Li Mu turned around, looked at him and said with a smile, "You think too highly of yourself."

"Since I stepped into the martial arts world, I have witnessed constant disputes, endless killings, and countless casualties in the martial arts world, so I determined to sweep the world, unify the martial arts world, and restore peace to the world."

"Your eldest brother refuses to surrender to the Tianxiahui. He is blocking my way to quell the conflicts in the world. He will be killed at his own fault."

"You avenge your brother, and you are worthy of the word 'righteousness'. I can let you go, but if there is a next time, I will never be merciful again."

"For the sake of your family's petty righteousness, you disregard the righteousness of the world. It would be a shame to die."

While Li Mufu was talking to Huo Lie, Bu Jingyun naturally couldn't help but step forward to take them out, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this time, he just hoped that his uncle would say less and save his life first, but Huo Lie obviously disappointed him.

"Hahahaha..." Huo Lie suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes full of ridicule, "You have a righteous heart? This is the biggest joke I have ever heard."

"Your righteousness is that those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish? It's just to satisfy your own ambitions. What kind of righteousness are you talking about?"

Huo Lie never believed that Xiong Ba would be so kind as to spare his life.

He firmly believes that there must be some conspiracy behind Xiongba letting him go, and this conspiracy may even endanger the Supreme Being.

When they decided to assassinate Xiongba, they had put life and death aside, not even thinking about returning alive.

Therefore, he would rather anger Xiong Ba and let him kill his father and son than let Xiong Ba's conspiracy succeed.

Bu Jingyun's heart sank. Whatever Huo Lie could think of, he could naturally think of it too. He even knew Xiong Ba better than Huo Lie.

He didn't believe even more than Huo Lie that Xiong Ba would really let them go.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand. He only understands Xiong Ba, but not Li Mu.

Li Mu's face also turned cold. He chose to let Huo Lie go, just because he didn't want to add to the hatred between Bu Jingyun and Bu Jingyun, which would make it even more difficult to resolve.

But if Huo Lieruo never knows good from evil and is stubborn, he cannot be merciful.

However, he still chose to give Huo Lie another chance because he really didn't want Bu Jingyun, the son of destiny, to turn against him.

Li Mu said coldly: "You may not believe that I have a righteous heart, but you might as well use your mind that is blinded by hatred and think about it carefully."

"Since the Tianxiahui took over half of the land of China, how many disputes and killings broke out in the martial arts world due to sectarian differences and competition for fame and fortune?"

"If you succeed in assassinating me, the world will be torn into pieces and disintegrate, and the major forces in the martial arts world will lose their suppression. What will be the consequences?"

Li Mu seemed to be suppressing great anger, and said angrily: "You count on your fingers, how many people will die due to the killings caused by the struggle for power, and how many lives will Huo Lie have to bear?"

Both Huo Lie and Bu Jingyun subconsciously followed what Li Mu said.

If Xiong Ba dies, the world will fall into civil strife, and half of China's martial arts community will lose its pressure. Those with a little bit of power will all want to take the opportunity to strengthen their own power and become the second Tianxiahui.

As a result, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm in the martial arts world, and it is unknown how many people in the martial arts world will die in the disputes.

If too many top masters die and the Central Plains martial arts declines, and if there is an invasion by foreigners, how can Wushuang City and the Supreme Court alone resist it?

Back then, there was a martial arts legend called Wu Ming, who single-handedly blocked the Japanese invasion of Wushen Jue Palace with his single sword.

But Wuming has disappeared for twenty years, and may not be alive anymore. Wouldn't there be a danger of the Shenzhou land sinking by then?

Thinking of this, a layer of dense beads of sweat began to appear on Huo Lie's forehead.

Because if he continues to think this way, if he really succeeds in assassinating Xiongba, he will become an eternal sinner in the Central Plains martial arts world.

In fact, this is really not their baseless imagination. Almost all knowledgeable people in the world can understand this.

In the original plot, Wuming stopped the sword master from killing Xiongba, and it was precisely for this reason.

Facts have also proved that when the world loses its hegemon, it becomes nothing and is easily seized by Wushenjuegong.

Even the supreme martial arts master was once a prisoner. In the entire Chinese martial arts world, most of the martial arts masters were imprisoned, including Wuming, the martial arts legend.

The land of China was almost ruled by the Japanese.

Bu Jingyun's expression was changing, and he was in a fierce battle in his heart. He just had a cold personality, but it didn't mean that his heart was also cold.

On the contrary, his blood is hotter than many people's.

Xiongba cannot die, but what to do with his stepfather's hatred?

If you are a son and do not avenge your father, where is the filial piety?

But if you kill Xiongba, it will cause chaos in the world.

For the sake of selfish enmity, regardless of the common people in the world, resulting in the destruction of all living beings, where is the benevolence? Where is the righteousness?

At this moment, Bu Jingyun's heart was extremely complicated, and there was a look of pain and struggle in his eyes.

Huo Lie's expression changed for a while, and finally he seemed to have lost all his energy and energy, and his shoulders slumped down.

He grabbed the long sword on the ground and stood up, and said slumped to Xiong Ba: "For the sake of the Chinese martial arts, you cannot die, but you must avenge your brother."

"I will ask the leader of the Xiong Gang to take off his outer robe and stab me with a few swords. The feud between my Huo family and the leader of the Xiong Gang will be wiped out from now on."

Li Mu was secretly happy. Huo Butian's brother said it with his own words. The hatred between the Huo family and him was wiped out. So what position did Bu Jingyun have to seek revenge from him?

Even if he couldn't let go completely in a short period of time, as long as he tried to win over him in the future, he believed that Bu Jingyun's hatred for him would be resolved and he would return to his heart.

Li Mu looked at Huo Butian and said happily: "The fact that you can make such a decision means that you still have righteousness in your heart after all. In this case, this gang leader will not hesitate to fulfill your small righteousness."

After saying that, he took off his robe and threw it towards Huo Lie.

"Chi chi chi..."

Huo Lie used the Huo family's sword skills and chopped his robe into a pile of rags.

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched. He had promised to just stab him a few times, but he struck out so harshly. This showed that the hatred in Huo Lie's heart was not shallow at all.

After the outer robe turned into fine pieces of cloth and fell to the ground, Huo Lie threw down his sword and let out a long sigh.

When Li Mu saw this, he said: "Yun'er, send them out."

"yes."

Bu Jingyun looked at Huo Lie and his son Huo Jiqian expressionlessly, stretched out his hand toward the door and said, "Please, please!"

Looking at the back of Bu Jingyun who was leading the father and son out, a smile flashed across Li Mu's eyes.

Without a firm stand for revenge, if you still want to kill me if I give you the Kong Ci you miss so much, then even if you are the son of destiny, I will never tolerate it again.

If Xiong Ba cannot kill you, I, Li Mu, may not be able to kill you.

Destined child?

Haha, it’s not like I haven’t killed anyone before.

…

Outside the gate of Tianxiahui Mountain, Huo Lie and Huo Jiqian's father and son discovered that the master of Tianxiahui who sent them out had no intention of returning and was still striding ahead.

The father and son were shocked, looking at Bu Jingyun's back in confusion, secretly on guard.

It wasn't until he walked some distance away from the mountain gate and out of sight of the gang members guarding the gate that Bu Jingyun finally stopped.

Huo Jiqian asked fearfully: "What do you want to do? Are you going to disobey Xiong Ba's order and get rid of us privately?"

Bu Jingyun turned around, looked at Huo Lie's face, and was slightly absent-minded again. Then he clasped his fists and bowed, "Bu Jingyun pays homage to uncle."

The father and son were shocked. Huo Lie strode up to Bu Jingyun, grabbed his arms, and said excitedly: "Are you Bu Jingyun, my eldest brother's stepson?"

Bu Jingyun looked at him and said, "Yes, it's just that I haven't heard my stepfather mention you before."

Huo Lie sighed and said, "Because I serve as the commander of the imperial guards in the Supreme Palace, I rarely interact with relatives and friends. My eldest brother mentioned you to me in several letters."

"He asked me to rush back to Huojiazhuang on his fiftieth birthday, formally introduce you to me, and announce that you will inherit Huojiazhuang. Unfortunately... I came back late."

After saying this, Huo Lie stared at Bu Jingyun and asked, "Jingyun, why did you surrender to the Tianxiahui?"

Huo Jiqian on the side said angrily: "Dad, do you still need to ask? Of course I am greedy for glory and wealth."

Huo Lie's face darkened and he scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. I believe your uncle's vision is correct. Jingyun will never be a person who covets glory and wealth."

Bu Jingyun didn't even look at Huo Jiqian, but said to Huo Lie: "Xiong Ba doesn't know my origin. I sneaked into Tianxiahui just to find a chance to kill Xiong Ba and avenge my stepfather."

After saying this, he frowned and lowered his head slightly, saying: "But now..."

Huo Lie sighed and said: "That's all, Xiongba cannot die. I will also say it myself, and the hatred between the Huo family and him will be wiped out."

"Assassinating a tyrant will lead you to a narrow escape. Since you will hold a high position in the world, you must remain useful for the Chinese martial arts world."

"Even if you have a reason to kill Xiongba in the future, you should no longer avenge your elder brother."

Bu Jingyun, who was originally struggling in pain, seemed to have alleviated a lot of his inner struggles after listening to Huo Lie's words.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, he said sternly to Huo Lie, "Uncle, don't worry, I won't be impulsive. I will keep an eye on Xiong Ba for the people of the world."

"If he really wants to quell the disputes and ensure peace in the world, I will help him with all my heart. If he does something that goes against what he said, I will definitely kill him."

Huo Lie patted his shoulder happily and said, "If you think so, uncle will be relieved. Go back and don't make Xiong Ba suspicious."

"Yes, my nephew is sending his uncle off."

…

The next day, Xiongba’s study room.

Concerned, Kong Ci followed Wen Chou Chou into the study and came to Li Mu.

The gang leader summoned her alone. This had never happened before. I didn't know what it would be.

Coincidentally, when Kong Ci followed Wen Chou Chou, he was accidentally seen by Bu Jingyun. His expression moved and he followed the two of them quietly.

Ever since Li Mu was replaced, there seemed to be many more "coincidences" and "accidents" in Tianxiahui, but no one noticed them.

"Gang leader, Kong Ci is here."

Kong Ci knelt on the ground, leaned forward and said, "My slave Kong Ci, please pay your respects to the gang leader."

"Get up, no need to be polite."

Li Mu stood up, walked around from behind the desk, walked to Kong Ci, and said kindly: "Kong Ci, if I remember correctly, you should be seventeen years old this year, right?"

In fact, he only found out about this in the morning after looking through the list of maids in the Tianxiahui.

Xiong Ba wouldn't pay attention to such a trivial matter, so Li Mu couldn't find relevant information from Xiong Ba's memory, so he had to look through the directory.

When Kong Ci saw that Li Mu actually remembered her age, he couldn't help but feel flattered, and said movedly: "Master, I'm worried, this slave is indeed seventeen years old."

Li Mu sighed softly and said with emotion: "I can't believe that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, your father founded the Tianxiahui with me and made great contributions."

"It's a pity that he died young and did not live to this day. Back then, your father followed me and suffered all kinds of hardships. It can be said that he shared the hardships with me, but he failed to share the glory and wealth with me."

"This matter has caused me a great regret in my life. In the past, the great cause of the Tianxiahui was not settled, and I couldn't tell my heart. I will take good care of you old brothers."

"Now that the great cause has been accomplished, it's time to compensate you properly, so that the old brothers will not be in trouble and blame me for not taking good care of their descendants."

In fact, Kong Ci's father was just a small leader who led a dozen gang members at that time, and he could not deserve the title of "old brother" of Li Mu.

Otherwise, how could Kong Ci be just a maid?

When he said this, he was completely praising Kong Ci, or in other words, her father.

When Kong Ci's father died in battle while fighting for Tianxiahui, Kong Ci was still an infant, so he had no idea about his father in his memory.

But Li Mu's words really touched her, and she said with red eyes: "The gang leader is already very kind to this slave. I believe that my father will definitely smile."

Li Mu smiled and asked Kong Ci: "I remember that you should have a twin sister. Do you sisters have any contact with each other on weekdays?"

Kong Ci heard this and said expectantly: "Yes, I often communicate with my sister."

"She was adopted as an adopted daughter by an uncle named Ding from the Hanzhong Branch. Her name is now Ding Ning, but the uncle Ding passed away a few years ago."

Li Mu nodded and said to Wen Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, transfer Ding Ning to the main altar so that the sisters can be reunited."

Kong Ci was so happy that he was about to kneel down to thank him, but Li Mu held him in his arms and said, "Hey, don't kneel down all the time."

"From today on, I will give you sisters a privilege. You can see me in the future without kneeling."

Kong Ci's gratitude to Li Mu could not be greater, and he choked with sobs: "Thank you, leader, for your kindness."

Wen Chou Chou asked with a smile: "Gang leader, after the young general Ding Ning is transferred to the main altar, where should she be placed?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "Let's arrange it in Tianshuang Hall! Shuang'er has a kind and kind temperament. I believe he will take good care of Ding Ning."

"As for Kong Ci...well, Yun'er has a lonely temperament and doesn't have many friends. You and he grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and he has always been very good to you."

"You go to Feiyuntang! I hope you can accompany Yun'er well and try your best to entertain him on weekdays and don't let him be so lonely."

"As long as you can make this iceberg disciple of me melt a little and have more expression on my face, I will be rewarded a lot, hehehe..."

Wen Chou Chou also kept laughing along with him. When Kong Ci heard Li Mu call Bu Jingyun "Bingshan Disciple", he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

She said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take good care of Master Yun and won't let him be so lonely again."

"Okay, okay, I'll leave Yun'er to you, go ahead!"

"Yes, I will leave this slave."

After Kong Ci went out, Li Mu glanced at the left side of the door calmly, with an undetectable smile flashing in his eyes.

Then he told Wen Chou Chou as if nothing had happened: "Go and call the three hall leaders and the leaders to the first floor of the world. The leader of this gang has something important to announce."

"yes."

…

In the First Floor of the World, Li Mu was wearing a yellow robe embroidered with dragons and a brown cloak embroidered with insignia, sitting high on the gang leader's throne.

What he is wearing is the so-called dragon robe. In other worlds with feudal social backgrounds, it is a garment that only emperors can wear.

Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng stood in the middle of the front of the hall. The other commanders lined up on both sides. Duan Lang was on the left, facing Yang Zhenchen on the right.

This was an honor given to him by Li Mu, and none of the other commanders were dissatisfied with it, because the very real problem was that none of them could defeat Duanlang.

"Subordinates, please refer to the gang leader."

"No gift."

"Thank you, leader."

After the ceremony, Li Mu said: "Everyone, I have gathered everyone together today. This gang leader has only one thing to say."

"We, the Tianxiahui, have always pursued a domineering policy of those who obey me prosper and those who go against me perish. Although this move has accelerated the pace of the Tianxiahui's conquest of the martial arts, it has also left many hidden dangers."

"As the saying goes, kingship is based on virtue, and dominance relies on strength. Although a tyrant can overwhelm the world and make everyone submit, he will ultimately conquer others with strength."

"It is true that imposing orders can annex the world and achieve great results, but at the same time it is easy to be tyrannical, leaving the world without relatives. Do you think this is true?"

As soon as Li Mu said these words, Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, Yang Zhen and other kind-hearted people all nodded their heads. Although Bu Jingyun had no expression on his face, he also recognized the words in his heart.

There was a lot of discussion in the main hall, and many commanders had realized that it was time for a change in the World Society.

Qin Shuang was the first to speak: "What Master said makes sense. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If we act arrogantly, we will only make people in the world fear us and hate us to the core."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yes, so the Tianxia Association must make changes. This gang leader has decided to establish a new gang rule."

"From now on, members of the Tianxiahui Gang must not oppress the people. Not only must they not oppress, but they must also take the initiative to help the world and bring peace to the people."

"From the main forum down, a team needs to be established specifically to solve the problems of the people. The branch forums in various places also need to make decisions for the local people and punish those in the martial arts who bully the people."

"The gang leader will arrange for a person as soon as possible to set up a special hall, called 'Anmin Hall', who will be responsible for monitoring this matter."

"Once anyone in our gang is found to be bullying the people or is reported, they will be severely punished."

After listening to Li Mu's words, everyone in the palace shouted in unison: "The gang leader is wise, has civilized martial arts, and is destined to rule the world."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Chou Chou, please arrange it. After passing this order down from level to level, it will be written into a list, and it will be announced to the world and announce the martial arts."

Wen Chou Chou clasped his fists and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I wonder who the gang leader plans to put in charge of supervising this matter?"

Li Mudao: "This gang leader has his own plan. You don't need to ask any more questions. You will know when you choose someone."

"yes."
