How to become a qualified villain BOSS

An hour before the collapse of Wuchang Mountain, Wen Jing finally found Li Pinghe, Elder Li, or waited for Li Elder on Zhongheng Peak, the attached peak of Wuchang Mountain.

At that time, it was the second half of the second hour of the martial arts competition in Tianjian Palace. The main peak and surrounding peaks were full of excitement, but Elder Li hated the crowd and told Zhongheng Peak that there would be no ring. Among the many attached peaks, only Zhongheng Peak is cold and silent, and only when the mountain wind occasionally passes through the jade branches made of ice, it will make a cold and bleak whimper.

Wen Jing looked up, only to see the red sun breaking through the clouds, the soft light shining on the Tianjian Palace with ice sculptures everywhere, refracting brilliant light, reflected in the surrounding clouds like fairy clouds, the beauty is too beautiful to behold, like a fairyland on earth.However, the more beautiful the scene is, the more melancholy Wen Jing sighs in his heart, wondering if the beautiful scene is still there after the incident.

So, when Elder Li came back from outside, what he saw was Wen Jing standing quietly outside the courtyard of his residence, his body like a green bamboo.

Elder Li paused, feeling quite surprised in his heart, after all, he had neither enmity nor friendship with this young suzerain in the past, so he really couldn't think of a reason for Wen Jing to come to him.After thinking about it for a while, he came forward, forced a kind smile on his usually stiff face, and said, "Sovereign Wen came, and should have greeted him from afar, but the old man just went out on business, so I troubled Sect Master Wen to wait." .”

Having said that, Elder Li looked around again, seeing the solitude of the surroundings, his expression darkened immediately, and he said sharply, "Where are the deacon disciples? Sect Master Wen came to visit, why is no one invited to serve tea, even asked Wen The suzerain is waiting outside?!"

Wen Jingwen said: "Elder Li, don't bother, I came this time to avoid people's eyes and ears, so no one on Zhongheng Peak knew of my arrival."

Wen Jing's words were really weird, which made Elder Li feel suspicious, and said in a deep voice, "What does Sect Master Wen mean?"

Wen Jingdao: "Elder Li, do you know that the person I wanted to find at first was not you, but Master Xu?"

Elder Li frowned more and more, with an unshakable expression, he said: "Sect Master Wen just said what he had to say, why bother to go around in circles?"

"Since Elder Li has said so, then I'll say it straight." Wen Jing closed his eyes slightly, as if sighing, but when he looked at Elder Li again, his expression had become cold.

"A month ago, I got news that someone from the Heavenly Sword Palace colluded with the Demonic Dao in this grand ceremony, intending to destroy the Heavenly Sword Palace. Because the source of the news was very reliable, I started to collect information, trying to find clues, and then I discovered something The strange thing is that Heavenly Sword Palace has spent a lot of money in recent years, and the biggest one is from you, Elder Li."

Elder Li was unmoved, and said: "I am both the law enforcement elder and the deacon elder. On weekdays, I not only have to replace the magic tools and robes for the law enforcement disciples, but also approve the money for many deacon disciples. It is inevitable that the expenses will be huge. .”

Wen Jing nodded, and said: "Elder Li is right, so can Elder Li stop by to help me explain where you went for those three months that you disappeared every year for the past five years? Or did you go yesterday?" where?"

Elder Li frowned and said, "This is a private matter, so I have nothing to say!"

Wen Jing still nodded, without further questioning, and said: "Since this is the case, I have one more thing to ask Elder Li: half a month ago, I set off for Tianjian Palace, and I met a disciple of Su Yuezong on the way. After talking with my disciples, I learned that the Suyue Sect this time should be the same as in previous years, and declined this grand ceremony, but their suzerain, regardless of the long distance, ordered them to set off three months in advance, and insisted on asking them to come—”

Elder Li became a little impatient, and interrupted: "So what?! Whether Su Yuezong will come or not, has nothing to do with what you want to say?!"

Wen Jing said indifferently: "The relationship is that the post of Tianjian Palace was sent to each sect and sect a month ago, why is Su Yuezong able to be so powerful, knowing about the opening of the gate of Tianjian Palace two months in advance? ?”

Elder Li's expression froze, and his face changed a little.

Wen Jing continued: "After I came to Tianjian Palace, I talked with most of the sects, and then found that those sects that did not usually participate in the Tianjian Palace ceremony, not only came this time, but also came two months or even earlier. We set off in May, and after careful questioning, we found that they all had bitter expressions on their faces, and only then did we realize that it wasn't that they had to come, but that they had to come—Elder Li, do you know why?"

Elder Li said with a sullen face, "What does Sect Master Wen think?"

Wen Jing said: "Of course Elder Li forced them to come."

"Ridiculous!" Elder Li yelled violently, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Absurd to the extreme! Some small sects that I don't even bother to look at, why should I force them to come?!"

Wen Jingdao: "Of course it is to cover up your plan and witness the destruction of Tianjian Palace along the way!"

Elder Li stared at Wen Jing, the energy around him was ready to be released, and the sword energy was strong, as if he was about to strike at the next moment, he said coldly: "Sect Master Wen, please be careful!"

If it is said that Elder Li's aura is like a majestic river and sea, Wenjing is like a rock, inconspicuous, but also motionless.Wen Jing stood there quietly, with a calm expression, without even raising the angle of his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, and Elder Li still refuses to admit it? Could it be that Elder Li is ignorant of your disciples of Heavenly Sword Palace? There is no sympathy at all.”

As soon as Wen Jing's words fell, he heard exclamations from the arena in Tianjian Palace Square. It turned out that the second disciple was knocked off the arena, and Xu Huaishui replaced the original disciple like an eagle from the sky, and Xu Xinxiu came on the stage instead.

Wen Jing didn't care about Elder Li's stare, he just turned his head to look at the ring, and sighed: "Second...Elder Li, if you still refuse to stop, then I'm afraid a third disciple will step down soon gone."

Elder Li's expression moved slightly. When he saw Xu Xinxiu on stage, his tone was a little weak: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I heard that Ms. Xu is Elder Li's proud disciple. She has been carefully taught by the elder since she was a child. If you think about it, Elder Li can't bear it, right? If that's the case, why don't the elders stop here? If this is the case, there is still room for redemption. It's better... ..." Wen Jing softened his tone and said softly, "Elder Li, there are some things I have never said to you. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were very similar to my master. I don't care whether it sounds good or not, but you are all upright people, and your eyes are not on the small place, but on the distance. In order to suppress the fire, my master sacrificed himself and changed places. I believe that if you were Li Elder, I am afraid that he will make such a decision. However, the Sword Palace is in the ascendant today, and it is a good time to develop and grow, so why did the elder make such a thing?"

Elder Li's breath stagnated, and then receded like a tide, his face finally showed a bit of fatigue, and said: "I thought... so, Sect Master Wen really knows everything."

Even though Wen Jing had expected it in his heart, now that he heard Elder Li's confession, he still couldn't help feeling tense in his heart, and sighed: "Elder Li...why did you end up here?"

Elder Li looked towards the arena under the Heavenly Sword Palace, and said, "Sect Master Wen, what do you think of the Heavenly Sword Palace? It is just in its infancy and a great opportunity for growth? No, I don't think so."

"The Heavenly Sword Palace has come to an end - when a sect starts to become arrogant, it is not far from the end."

Elder Li pointed to Xu Huaishui on the ring, and said: "Sect Master Wen, do you know that that person is Xu Huaishui, the young master of our Heavenly Sword Palace, the future master of a sect, and the most outstanding person in Tianjian Palace in the past hundred years?" The genius, the most promising disciple... What do you think of him?"

Wen Jing felt a little anxious in his heart, but forced himself to press down, saying: "Since he is the most outstanding genius, then it is naturally good."

"No! Not good!" Elder Li said in a voice almost heartbroken, "He is too arrogant! He always thinks that he can change everything by himself, and that as long as he is still that genius, he can do everything, but he doesn't know Sometimes manpower is exhausted, even a real immortal will be powerless, so what is he? If such an arrogant person really becomes the master of Heavenly Sword Palace one day, wouldn't he want to take Heavenly Sword Palace away? dead end?!"

Seeing Elder Li's agitated expression, Wen Jing quickly comforted him: "Young Palace Master became famous at a young age, so it's okay to be a little arrogant. I have dealt with Young Palace Master before, and I know that although Young Palace Master is arrogant on the surface, he is not without it in his heart. The city mansion, the future Heavenly Sword Palace in the hands of the Young Palace Master, might be able to accomplish a lot, why should Elder Li be so pessimistic?"

Wen Jing's words are close to that of an elder.Although Xu Huaishui is actually nearly 20 years older than him, but there is a priority in hearing the Tao, and those who have mastered it come first, so there is actually no problem with Wen Jing's words.

Elder Li also understood, and couldn't help but said: "It's not pessimistic, but..." Elder Li sighed, regretting, "It would be great if I heard that a monk like the suzerain came from our Heavenly Sword Palace."

Wen Jing smiled wryly and did not answer.

Elder Li just remarked casually, and stopped entangled in this issue, and continued, "If Xu Huaishui is the only one who is arrogant, then it can be saved, so how can the arrogance of the whole family be saved?"

Elder Li pointed to the arena in the distant square, and said, "What do you think of those twelve disciples?"

Wen Jing glanced at it slightly, and said: "The core of the sword formation in the square on the first day is them? If I remember correctly, they should be the seventh core disciples of this magic light formation, and the previous one The core disciples have already started retreating to attack the Nascent Soul? If they succeed, Tianjian Palace will add twelve Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and these twelve disciples can break through the golden core and reach the spiritual solitude at any time. Isn't Elder Li happy? ?”

Elder Li snorted angrily, and said, "Happy? Why should I be happy? Why should I be happy with such an arrogant sword array?!"

Wen Jing wondered, "Why did you say that?"

Elder Li said: "The magic light formation is one of the core sword formations of my Heavenly Sword Palace. Although it is not good at killing, it is also an indispensable sword formation in the Heavenly Sword Palace! Now the last twelve who are the eyes of the formation The core disciples are all in seclusion, leaving only these 12 people present, and they are all selected as the guardians of the ring——Sect Master Wen, let me ask you, will you push the core disciples of your Chosen Rizong Sword Formation into the ring, called He takes the risk of serious injury?"

Wen Jing smiled wryly again: "No."

Elder Li said again: "If you insist on asking this disciple to compete in the ring, will you send someone who can replace this disciple to retreat?"

Wen Jing smiled wryly, "No."

Elder Li sneered and said, "Then what do you think now, Xu Shaoshang who made such a decision, and those elders of Heavenly Sword Palace are not arrogant?!"

Wen Jing sighed, "Arrogance."

The more Elder Li spoke, the more annoyed his expression became, and he said: "Xu Shaoshang was extremely talented when he was young, and he has already mastered the three major sword arts of Tianjian Palace at a young age. Disciple. But what is different from Xu Shaoyang is that Xu Shaoshang had a city in his heart and great ambitions when he was young, which made the previous palace lord favor him. , even changed his mind before he died, and ordered Xu Shaoshang to be the new Palace Master of Heavenly Sword Palace! Over the years, Xu Shaoshang has never slacked off for a single day, and I respect him very much in my heart, but after Shen Qingxu's death , but he lost the intention to be aggressive, and only doted on Xu Huaishui, turning Xu Huaishui into such an arrogant appearance, even the entire Tianjian Palace, became this kind of appearance that would only lie in the treasures left by the ancestors and eat the mountains and sky ...This calls me... How can this not make me feel sad?!"

Wen Jingdao: "That's why you colluded with the people of the devil way, tailored twelve natural enemies for these twelve disciples, and asked those 12 people to defeat the Heavenly Sword Palace in full view, break the myth of the Heavenly Sword Palace, and let the Heavenly Sword Palace be defeated. The majesty of the Sword Palace has been swept away, so that they can lower their heads and re-examine themselves?"

Elder Li said solemnly: "The Heavenly Sword Palace has stood on a high place for too long, so long that they have forgotten the sufferings of their ancestors and the humility of being a monk! They talk about it all the time, but never Really take it to heart. I tried to persuade you for a long time, but it was all in vain. If so, it would be better for me to knock down the Heavenly Sword Palace from the mountainside with my own hands, than to smash it to pieces after reaching the top!"

Wen Jing frowned and said: "Although I admire Elder Li's intentions, there is still one thing I don't understand."

Elder Li said: "Sect Master Wen, please tell me."

Wen Jing said: "I now understand Elder Li's determination to break the majesty of the Heavenly Sword Palace, but the endurance of the Heavenly Sword Palace may not be as great as Elder Li thought...Why did Elder Li arrange these 12 people? , do you want to do the next thing?"

Elder Li showed doubts on his face, and said, "What does the suzerain mean by that?"

Wen Jing restrained his anxiety, and said patiently: "I can understand Elder Li's hatred of iron and steel, but sects are like ignorant children, what's the use of blindly pressing hard? For me, blocking is worse than sparse. Introducing Fei and the others to the Heavenly Sword Palace is like leading a wolf into a house. It will do a lot of harm but not any benefit. Furthermore, you have placed Palace Master Xu under house arrest, and you have imprisoned the sect master with the deepest cultivation in the Heavenly Sword Palace. Convenience door..."

"What are you talking about?!" Elder Li finally changed his expression at this moment, and said in horror, "Kou Fei?! Kou Fei actually wants to attack the Heavenly Sword Palace?!"

Wen Jing's face also changed a little, and said: "Kou Fei was not attracted by Elder Li?! But now Kou Fei's minions are already at the foot of the mountain—"

Elder Li was angry and anxious, and said: "Kou Fei is a wolf with ambition, how could I do something like a tiger's skin?!"

Wen Jing said: "Then Palace Master Xu——"

Elder Li said anxiously: "You also said that Xu Shaoshang is the person with the highest cultivation level in Tianjian Palace, and I am only at the spiritual stage, how can I lock him up?!"

Wen Jing finally couldn't bear the horror in his heart.

At this moment, Elder Li's expression is definitely not fake, so who is the ghost who colluded with Kou Fei? !Who is that person who made Palace Master Xu disappear? !

The more anxious Wen Jing felt, the calmer he was in his mind, the deeper he thought.

It was Lu Xiuze who told him that Elder Li was an inner ghost.Wen Jing believed that the elder brother would never lie to him, so that means that Lu Xiuze really thought that Elder Li was the ghost who colluded with Kou Fei, so who misled Lu Xiuze?Is this kind of misleading aimed at everyone, or only for Lu Xiuze?Is Lu Xiuze in danger now? !

Countless questions piled up in Wen Jing's mind, making him wish he could go to Lu Xiuze and warn him. However, in the past few years, it was always Lu Xiuze who came to him, and he never went to Lu Xiuze for the sake of Lu Xiuze's safety. Looking for Lu Xiuze, and never asking about Lu Xiuze's movements, so now he is at a loss!

Wen Jing was very anxious, but he could only force himself to be calm, and said in a shy voice: "The most urgent thing...is to find Palace Master Xu!"

——Believe in the ability of the big brother.

Wen Jing said this to himself, then put the matter aside for the time being, exchanged a glance with Elder Li, said what he knew immediately, and said: "Before I was looking for you, I had searched for all the masters of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Palace, but did not find Palace Master Xu, and asked the deacon disciples who guarded the Sword Palace, and only said that Palace Master Xu had gone out late yesterday night and has not returned. Unknown, but if Elder Li has the blood essence of Palace Master Xu, then I should be able to deduce the location of Palace Master from this."

Elder Li sighed: "Essence and blood are the foundation of a monk, how could I have it?"

Wen Jing asked tentatively, and it was not a pity to get a negative answer. He pondered for a while, his mind turned, and suddenly he thought of something, and said: "I heard that every palace master of Tianjian Palace will search for secret treasures. Three drops of blood essence are left on the Heavenly Sword to control the Xuntian Sword! If you don't have blood essence, you can also have the Xuntian Sword."

Elder Li's face was slightly stiff, he thought about it, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked into the residence: "Follow me!"

Wen Jing followed quickly, feeling strange in his heart, and said, "Where is Elder Li going? Isn't the Xuntian Sword placed in the sacrificial place of the Heavenly Sword Palace?!"

Elder Li said dejectedly: "In order to warn the Heavenly Sword Palace, I stole the Xuntian Sword, thinking that this would make them calm down and examine themselves, but they still..."

Wen Jing was silent for a while, and said: "I admire Elder Li's intention." However, he disapproved of his method.

Elder Li also heard the implication of Wen Jing's words, and sighed dejectedly.

Wen Jingdao: "However, these issues are put aside for now. After finding Palace Master Xu and repelling Kou Fei, let's talk about other things."

"exactly."

Elder Li walked into the courtyard, acting in a hurry, and did not avoid Wen Jing who was on the side. After opening the secret passage in the room, he went all the way in, and after a while, the two stood at the end of the secret passage.

At the end of the secret passage, there is neither gold, silver, jewelry nor rare magical artifacts. Except for a terrifyingly large silver sword box in the middle, there is only a wooden table and a lamp.

Wen Jing was quite emotional in his heart. He knew that Elder Li might be a real upright person, but he just got into a corner for a while, so he used the wrong method and did wrong things.

While Wen Jing was thinking about it, Elder Li stepped forward, approached the sword box, and looked at it in a daze: "This is... the Xuntian Sword..."

Elder Li's words were full of many emotions, but before Wen Jing could figure it out, he had already opened the sword box: "It's not too late, please ask Sect Master Wen to find this Xuntian Sword sooner—"

Elder Li's words got stuck in his throat, his face was terribly stiff, and even his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, it was extremely terrifying.

Wen Jing's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to take a look, only to see that there was nothing in the sword box!

"Empty?" Wen Jing lost his voice, "The Xuntian Sword—is gone?!"

This sentence finally woke up Elder Li, and made Elder Li vent all his strength, and fell to the ground without any scruples about face, covering his face in front of Wen Jing and weeping bitterly.

"I... I'm sorry for the ancestors! The Xuntian Sword has been passed down for generations, but now it's lost in the hands of me, Li Pinghe... I... What face do I have to live in this world now?!"

Wen Jing said sharply: "Now that Palace Master Xu is missing and the Xuntian Sword is stolen, the Heavenly Sword Palace is in danger! Elder Li doesn't think about how to save it, so he just weeps here?"

Elder Li was awakened by Wen Jing's questioning, he cried for a while, wiped off the tears on his face vigorously, and said: "What Sect Master Wen said is that now is definitely not the time to relax. In the opinion of Sect Master Wen, How should we do it?"

Wen Jing bowed his head in thought, but before he could think of a solution, he felt the ground shaking under his feet, and the gravel fell from the top of the secret path, and then there was a loud noise like heaven and earth!

what happened? !

The two looked at each other in astonishment, and ran out of the secret path, only to find that endless smoke and dust dispersed on the top of the main peak of Tianjian Palace, covering the sky and the sun!

"The mountain... the landslide!"

Someone shouted like this, panicked, as if seeing the sky is about to fall, but with the eyesight of Wen Jing and Elder Li, they could see more things, for example, the sharp light looming in the smoke was not sunlight refraction, but—

"Xuntian Sword..." Elder Li murmured, his voice was dry and almost incoherent.

Wen Jing's heart also sank, because he understood that there is only one person in the world who can drive the Xuntian Sword...

only one person.

Wen Jing could hardly bear to say the name.

And the next moment, a mist that was very different from smoke and dust suddenly rose, and arrogant laughter approached from afar.
