Chapter 251 Li Chengqian: I simply hate you, poor Yang Xiao
Faced with Li Chengqian's tone, countless people gripped their weapons tightly.
A wandering swordsman gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for doing this?"
"Don't be afraid, because you can't beat me."
""
How arrogant!
Watching Li Chengqian bicker with those low-level martial arts practitioners, a smile involuntarily appeared on Li Xunhuan's lips.
For some reason, Mr. Li was always very tolerant of these people from the lower classes.
No matter what they said, Mr. Li always greeted them with a smile, his tone as if he were talking to an old friend.
On the contrary, Mr. Li was either overly polite to those with high strength, or he didn't give them a friendly look.
"Mr. Li, I have a favor to ask!"
A man walked out of room number seven.
Li Chengqian glanced at the man and said indifferently, "I won't agree."
""
So decisively?
The man looked embarrassed for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Li, won't you listen to what it is about?"
“I won’t agree to anything, and even if you know Yang Dingtian’s whereabouts, it won’t solve anything.”
Upon hearing Yang Dingtian's name, everyone in the inn became serious.
The Ming Cult is arguably one of the most powerful forces in the martial arts world. Could this person be a member of the Ming Cult?
Li Chengqian picked up his teacup and began to drink, completely ignoring Yang Xiao's embarrassment.
After a moment's thought, Yang Xiao said, "Mr. Li, do you have some misunderstanding about our Ming Cult?"
"I have no misunderstandings about the Ming Cult, I simply dislike you, Yang Xiao."
"Besides, I think you shouldn't worry about these things now; you should worry about yourself."
"You've offended Emei and Wudang, and Yang Dingtian has offended Shaolin Temple."
"When Yang Dingtian was still alive, there wasn't much of a problem. Now that Yang Dingtian is gone, you can expect to be besieged."
Li Chengqian's words left Yang Xiao somewhat bewildered. It was understandable that he had a grudge against the Emei Sect, but when did he offend Wudang?
"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you please clarify?"
"You got together with Ji Xiaofu and even had a daughter."
"Although Ji Xiaofu never regretted it until her death, and even named your daughter Yang Buhui."
"But you used force back then. Ji Xiaofu and Yin Liuxia of Wudang were engaged."
“Your behavior has brought shame to Wudang and Emei. If it weren’t for the fact that Miejue was worried about the negative impact of this matter and did not tell Wudang the truth.”
"If Wudang doesn't make a trip to your Bright Peak, then Wudang's temper is really too good."
"Furthermore, Du'e, Du'jie, and Du'nan of Shaolin Temple had a grudge against Yang Dingtian back then."
"Among them, Du'e's eyes were blinded by Yang Dingtian. The three of them sat in ascetic meditation for more than 30 years and finally mastered the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle of Shaolin Temple."
"Their purpose was to deal with Yang Dingtian. Now that Yang Dingtian is gone, you are the acting leader and you will probably have to take over."
"I presume that your Ming Cult is now capable of dealing with the three Jianghu forces of Shaolin, Emei, and Wudang simultaneously?"
"Master Zhang's strength goes without saying; it's obvious to all."
"Also, let me remind you that the Three Elders are powerful figures who can be listed on the Grandmaster Ranking of the Great Ming Dynasty. I'm sure you should be able to deal with them."
After saying that, Yang Xiao was also dumbfounded.
It was expected that the Ming Cult would not be welcomed by the martial arts world of the Central Plains, but I never expected that it would provoke so many powerful masters.
Seeing Yang Xiao fall into self-doubt, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and ignored him.
Li Chengqian didn't want to pay attention to Yang Xiao, and Yang Xiao naturally saw through this as well.
Logically speaking, since Li Chengqian had already said so much, Yang Xiao shouldn't have continued to ask questions.
But Yang Xiao had no choice! According to the original understanding, if the Ming Cult leader was not found, at most the Ming Cult would continue to fight among itself.
But now that he has provoked so many people, if he can't find Yang Dingtian, he really can't defeat so many of them.
Faced with the threat of death, Yang Xiao had no choice but to swallow his pride and say, "Mr. Li, please tell me the whereabouts of our sect leader."
"I will never forget Mr. Li's great kindness and virtue."
As he spoke, Yang Xiao bowed deeply to Li Chengqian once again.
Faced with this situation, the wandering swordsmen in the inn also showed unusual expressions.
Although the Ming Cult is currently weak, it will surely return to its peak once Yang Dingtian returns.
In other words, Mr. Li can decide the situation of the Central Plains martial arts world for the next ten years with just one sentence.
Li Chengqian smacked his lips, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Yang Xiao, who was bowing respectfully.
"Actually, you don't need to be so persistent. Anyway, you're the acting leader now. Why don't you go back and work hard to become the rightful leader?"
"Although doing this will cause the Ming Cult to lose a lot of power, it is still much better than the truth being revealed."
Everyone: Huh?
That expression looks so familiar!
Upon seeing Mr. Li's expression, everyone in the inn immediately realized that something was wrong.
The Peace Inn has been around for some time now, and many people in the martial arts world have come to understand Mr. Li's character to some extent.
If Mr. Li makes that expression, it means he's about to cause trouble.
The last time Mr. Li showed this expression, Abbot Xuanci of the Shaolin Temple in the Song Dynasty was utterly disgraced. The entire family of Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan in Dali, was nearly wiped out.
Now that this expression has appeared again, Yang Xiao is probably going to be in trouble.
Unfortunately, Yang Xiao couldn't see Li Chengqian's expression because he was bowing.
If he had seen Li Chengqian's expression, perhaps he wouldn't have continued to ask about Yang Dingtian's whereabouts.
“Mr. Li, the cult leader has been incredibly kind to me. Even if it means going through fire and water, I must find out where he is.”
"died."
Yang Xiao: ? ? ?
Two words suddenly came out of Li Chengqian's mouth, and Yang Xiao didn't react for a moment.
"Mr. Li, what did you just say?"
I said Yang Dingtian is dead.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Xiao panicked, even though Yang Dingtian had been missing for a long time.
However, as long as the whereabouts of Yang Dingtian remain unknown, the martial arts world of the Central Plains will not dare to act rashly.
But if Yang Dingtian really dies, the Ming Cult will probably suffer a devastating disaster.
"Mr. Li, is there some misunderstanding here? My sect leader's martial arts are unparalleled. How many people in the world can kill him?"
"Logically speaking, that is indeed the case. Looking at the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, there are indeed not many people who are capable of killing Yang Dingtian."
"There are always unexpected things, he's been dead for a long time."
"So what exactly happened back then, Mr. Li? Could you please explain?"
Li Chengqian: Hmm, right?
"Are you sure you want to ask? I am indeed very clear about this matter, but if I reveal it, Yang Dingtian will probably die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!"
"I think you shouldn't ask anymore. Take my advice."
""
Are you trying to persuade me not to ask?
Your face practically screams "Ask me!"
Chapter 252 The World's Inferiority Complex
Although Yang Xiao was eager to know the truth about what happened back then, as the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult, he was no fool.
Li Chengqian already disliked me, but now he's so eager to tell me the truth about what happened back then.
This is clearly someone who wants to see themselves make a fool of themselves.
But now that things have come to this, I still feel somewhat unwilling to accept it if I don't find out the truth of what happened back then.
After a moment's thought, Yang Xiao said, "Mr. Li, could we discuss the matter of my sect leader in private?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's face darkened, and he immediately refused, saying, "No."
"The reason I'm willing to talk about this is because it's somewhat interesting."
"If we talk about it in private, the guests at the inn won't hear these interesting things."
"Since they can't hear me, why should I say anything? I don't owe you anything."
Everyone: Waaaaah!
Mr. Li still loves us after all.
Yang Xiao looked down at the curious onlookers in the martial arts world, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.
The cult leader is already dead. If I continue to cause him trouble, he might actually come looking for me from the underworld.
But if I don't ask, I won't know the truth about the cult leader's death.
Yang Xiao was now in a real predicament.
