Jianming Chaos

Du Liang hated both himself and Yang Ji. If Yang Ji hadn't said what Yang Ji said to the leader, the leader would not have acquiesced in the matter of Princess Yu'er.His original intention of stealing the sword was not to harm the Tiangu Sect, but to blame Yang Ji.He was not reconciled to Princess Yu'er being acquired by Yang Ji, and because of his selfishness, he made mistakes due to demons.

At this moment, he planned to vent all his grievances on Zhiming, so he punched him.Zhiming flashed lightly and stood behind him.

Du Liang turned around and swept his legs, Zhiming tilted his head back a little, and he missed the kick.

Du Liang was furious, and he swung wildly, but unfortunately, his punches were chaotic, and he couldn't hit the opponent with a single punch.

"It's useless, you're too upset right now, you can't hurt me at all, you should obediently go back with me and confess your guilt, and ask for a lighter sentence. As I said, I will intercede for you." Zhiming continued to persuade.

Du Liang didn't respond to him, and continued to attack, but still couldn't break the opponent's watertight defense.

Suddenly, he feinted with a punch, and walked around behind Zhiming, intending to lock his throat.Zhiming had already seen through it, and hit his heart with a rear elbow.Du Liang spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees.

Zhiming said: "Stop fighting, you are not my opponent. Your brother won't last long, and if he doesn't go back, he won't be able to survive tonight!"

Du Liang finally came to his senses and agreed.The three of them rode together and headed towards Yuanshan at high speed.

…………

Hong Tianba and his men returned to the headquarters of the Wolf Gang that night - a temporary cottage located in Dieyun Mountain outside the north gate of Chaisang County.

Hong Tianba made a statement to the gang leader and brother Hong Tiansheng.Hong Tiansheng said: "Tianba, why are you so impulsive and making trouble out of nothing?"

Hong Tianba said: "Brother, I was very upset when I accidentally released the big fish today; I saw those two people in the tea house later, and because of greed, I wanted to take the sword away, but I didn't expect that. It turned out to be a blood dragon sword, and I didn't expect a black horse to come out halfway; moreover, his sword is more lethal than the blood dragon sword! What's more terrible is that he can also use Qigong, which shocked me. Fly!"

"That rider said he came down from Yuanshan?" Hong Tiansheng wanted to find out the identity of the other party.

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, he is a member of the Sky Valley Sect. The man carrying the Blood Dragon Sword ran away as soon as he saw him. I haven't figured out the relationship between them yet."

After hearing this, Hong Tiansheng fell into deep thought.After a while, he said: "No matter what, we must go to see Huo You as soon as possible and explain the matter to him! It is said that the Jiuyou Sect sent several troops to attack Shanyue recently, but they all ended in failure, and Huo You almost died because of it. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the theft of the Blood Dragon Sword. It is very likely that the Tiangu Sect is at work, taking the opportunity to make the Jiuyou Sect go to war with Shanyue. Tianba, take a few people to Heizheng Mountain tomorrow morning, and take this Tell Huo You about it and remind him to be careful."

"Yes, big brother, I'll go to do it tomorrow morning!" Hong Tianba said.

It turns out that the Wolf Gang and the Jiuyou Sect are of the same breed, but the Wolf Gang has a relatively small sphere of influence, limited to Chaisang County and surrounding areas. Wanted, never dared to set up a fixed station.They have no grievances with the Tiangu Sect, but because of the blood dragon sword incident, Hong Tiansheng can't just watch the Jiuyou Sect suffer, so he wants to expose it.

…………

That night, Zhiming and the other three returned to Tiangujiao.Zhiming first asked Du Yu to be carried to heal his injuries, and then took Du Liang to see the leader.

After seeing the leader, Du Liang pleaded guilty, explained the cause and effect of stealing the sword, and begged the leader to save his younger brother with all his strength, and he was willing to bear all the responsibilities—many of the words were taught by Zhiming.

The leader sighed deeply, and said, "Du Liang, did you forget the oath you made when you joined our religion so quickly? The reason why the leader is willing to accommodate you is because of your integrity, but I didn't expect to make such a big mistake now, almost implicating all the brothers of Tiangu Sect! How can I forgive you!"

Du Liang begged again: "Liang has made a mistake, please teach me to punish me for my crime alone, and let my younger brother go. After all, I dragged him into the water, and he has been persuading me not to do this before."

The priest shook his head and sighed.Zhiming helped to say a good word, and said: "The Blood Dragon Sword has been taken back. Although Du Liang has made a big mistake, but he wants to rein in the precipice. I implore the leader to give him a chance to reform!"

Pang Tong and Gong Sunjie who were nearby also advised the leader to give him a lighter sentence.The leader thought for a while, and said to Du Liang: "You two brothers have also contributed to our religion. Since you didn't make a big mistake this time, the leader will forgive you for the time being. However, in order to give you a lesson, punish me. You will be imprisoned for three months, and you will not be allowed to come out within three months; since your younger brother is seriously injured, he will be exempted from punishment."

"Thank you, Hierarch!" Du Liang kowtowed, he thought this punishment was light enough.

Afterwards, Du Liang was imprisoned.However, Zhiming was still thinking about the Wolf Gang, and what Hong Tianba said before he left still haunts him.He explained his concerns to the crowd.

The leader frowned and said: "The Wolf Gang, like the Jiuyou Sect, is an organization that does evil. Its leader Hong Tiansheng is strong in martial arts and ruthless. It is estimated that they are already suspicious of this matter, so it is impossible to guarantee that they will not report to Huo You. If they join forces to attack This teacher, it’s going to be a big trouble.”

Kong Ming said: "Don't worry, the leader, I think Du Liang can make atonement."

"What do you mean, sir?" The leader's eyes lit up.

"That's right, 'to untie the bell, you must tie the bell', the matter has come to this point, just let Du Liang take on the role of the 'bell tie'. First, let him return the Blood Dragon Sword to the Jiuyou Sect, and ask Huo You confessed that the sword was stolen by himself, purely for the sake of selling money. Of course, he must not reveal his true identity. Neither the Jiuyou Sect nor the Wolf Gang can be sure that he is a member of the Tiangu Sect. Afterwards, let Zhiming went to report to the King of Yue, saying that he had found the person who stole the sword, and brought him back the Blood Dragon Sword to the Jiuyou Sect. The Jiuyou Sect would no longer cause trouble. The King of Yue believed that he would not doubt it. After all, there is the factor of 'Wu Yue's reconciliation'. So far, the matter has come to an end. Only this method can keep the Tiangu Sect safe and fulfill the lie of Yang Ji stealing the sword." Kong Ming expressed his thoughts .

Everyone thinks it works.Pang Tong said: "This method is very good, but we can't let Du Liang go by himself. One is to prevent accidents. Although he made a mistake, he is a brother in the religion after all, and his personal safety cannot be harmed; the other is to prevent him from protruding. Once he admits that he is a member of the Tiangu Sect, the truth will surface, and this is the most worrying thing."

Zhiming immediately said: "I will go with him, I would like to enter the tiger's den again!"

Everyone was stunned, and then applauded—Zhiming's loyalty and courage impressed everyone present.

Zhiming immediately went to the prison and told Du Liang about it.Du Liang was very happy and said, "I'm not a person who forgets my roots easily. Stealing the sword is just a moment of confusion. I'm willing to use my life to atone for my sin!"

Zhiming said: "Soldiers are precious and fast. We will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. I am afraid that the evil wolf gang is also preparing to act. We must not let them preconceive."

"Okay, Mr. Lei, thank you for saving our brother, and now I am going deep into the tiger's den with me for the Sky Valley Sect. I really owe you too much! However, now is the time for me to go through fire and water for the Sky Valley Sect, and I am duty-bound!" Du Liang has made up his mind to change his past and swears allegiance to Tiangu Sect.

After the two made an agreement, Du Liang was temporarily released.Before leaving, he went to see his younger brother's condition. His injury is still stable. Although he has serious internal injuries and disordered energy channels, fortunately, he was treated in time to save his life.

The two rode a horse each, and headed for Heizheng Mountain at a fast speed.On Du Liang's back was the blood dragon sword that shone coldly.

…………

Nine You Sect Headquarters.

Since the defeat in the battle of Wolf Bone Mountain, Huo You received news of the defeats of the other two teams one after another, and immediately fell into a state of despair.He didn't expect that the strength gap between the Ben religion and the Yue people was getting bigger and bigger, and even the three giants had sacrificed. It seems that the usual level of military training is indeed not as good as that of the other party.He thought that if one day the Yue tribe counterattacked, the Jiuyou Sect would definitely perish, so countermeasures must be prepared in advance.

On this day, Huo You summoned two senior figures in the church to discuss the matter.Hu Yong, deputy staff officer, said: "The leader has been feeling restless recently, it is better to rest for a few days before making plans."

Huo You shook his head and said, "I've had enough rest, and now I can't stand it for a moment. Tell me directly, how should I fight back?"

Everyone was at a loss.General Staff Gao Tian said: "Shanyue is too domineering, not to mention the sword theft, but also caused heavy losses to our side. If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman! Master, at this time, I think it's time to cooperate with the wolf gang."

Huo You's eyes lit up.Gao Tian said: "The sphere of influence of the Wolf Gang is limited to Chaisang County and the surrounding area. They probably want to use the power of my teaching to expand their territorial net, so that they can catch more big fish in Jiangdong; moreover, I have no intention of I heard from the public that Hong Tiansheng, the leader of his sect, has recently secretly practiced a magic skill, which may be able to defeat the 'monsters' in Yuezhai."

Huo Youxi said: "So, we can use its power to attack Shanyue?"

"That's right, I think that the Wolf Gang has been looking for opportunities to cooperate with us, and the two sides have a basis for win-win cooperation. Moreover, we can find ways to bring the Wolf Gang into our sect afterwards, so that Brother Hong Tiansheng can also become the leader's right-hand man. It is easy to fight against Shanyue and Tiangu Sect." Gao Tian is indeed a piece of old ginger, hiding the city in his chest.

"In this case, Gao Tian, ​​I will leave this matter to you." Huo You gave the task.

"Yes, I will live up to my trust!" Gao Tian said with her fists clasped.

While talking, people reported that someone outside the village asked to see him, claiming to be Hong Tianba, the deputy leader of the Wolf Gang.

"'Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here'!" Huo You was overjoyed, "Hurry up!"

Hong Tianba entered the cottage and met Huo You.After some politeness, he expressed his intention to come.

When he heard that the Blood Dragon Sword had been snatched by a person suspected of being a member of the Tiangu Sect and a person with high martial arts skills, Huo You was shocked and said: "Is this true?"

"It's true." Hong Tianba recounted his experience at the tea house last night.

"In this way, the person who appeared later was most likely a member of the Tiangu Sect. His sole purpose of appearance was to take away the Blood Dragon Sword. Then, who were those two people at the beginning?" Huo You fell into deep thought.

"My elder brother believes that although the person who stole the sword cannot be sure to be a member of the Tiangu Sect, he is absolutely inseparable from the Tiangu Sect. Maybe stealing the sword was their conspiracy in the first place, intending to make your sect go to war with Shanyue!" Hong Tianba Hit the nail on the head.

Gao Tian analyzed: "Could it be that Zhao Cheng (the leader of Tiangu Sect) was inconvenient to respond to our proposal of marriage last time? This incident was done by Shanyue to divert the blame to avoid the calamity of the war and stay out of it? Master, how long did it take from the time you sent someone to deliver the letter to the time when the Blood Dragon Sword was stolen? Judging from the time, it is exactly in line with my speculation. "

"It's possible." Huo You nodded thoughtfully.

"The Tiangu Sect is not a good thing either, why don't we join hands and bring them together!" Hong Tianba added fuel to the flames.

At this time, a person rushed in and said, "Report to the leader, someone has sent the Blood Dragon Sword back!"

Everyone was amazed.Huo You said, "Let him in quickly!"

Zhiming and Du Liang entered the meeting hall.Seeing Hong Tianba, Zhiming thought: "Too bad, he still got ahead of me, so I can only play by ear!"

Hong Tianba thought: "Why is it him again? Did the Tiangu Sect already expect us to come?"

Du Liang presented the Blood Dragon Sword wrapped in black cloth to Huo You, knelt down and said, "I am Du Liang, an unemployed vagrant from Chaisang County. I stole the holy relics of your religion due to greed, and now I am here to return them. The lord is merciful!"

Huo You opened the black cloth and saw that it was the Blood Dragon Sword that had been missing for many days. He was overjoyed, but it was inconvenient to show it.He asked Du Liang: "Why do you want to steal my religion's sacred objects for no reason?"

"I happened to pass by the temple of your religion that day, and sneaked in out of curiosity. Later, when I saw the Blood Dragon Sword, I couldn't help it and started it. It was because of poverty in my life that I made a mistake. Now I have awakened , so I came here to return the sword, I hope the leader will forgive me." Du Liang's attitude was very sincere.

"Is this sword really stolen by you?" Gao Tian expressed doubts.

"...It was indeed stolen by me." Du Liang's tone was slightly nervous.

"Where did you steal it from?" Gao Tian asked repeatedly, even though the other party had already stated it.

"...It is the temple specially used by your religion to store the divine sword." Du Liang only knew that the blood dragon sword was placed in the temple, but did not know its exact location.

Gao Tian still wanted to ask more questions, but Zhiming hurriedly said, "Since the sword has been returned, please forgive me and let him live."

Huo You stared into the eyes of the two of them.Du Liang's eyes dodged because he was uncertain, but Zhiming kept looking straight ahead with a calm expression, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
