Chapter 169: Battle(1/2)
late at night.
Leaving Anhou Mansion.
A violent knock on the door woke up Li Wuji, who had already fallen asleep, and also alerted the entire Hou family.
Everyone came out of the room when they heard the noise and looked at Di Long who was standing in front of Li Wuji's door knocking on the door, with a confused look on his face, not knowing what was going on.
"What's wrong?!"
Li Wuji opened the door sleepily, looked at Di Long at the door, and asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, the No. 1 Building in the World, Zibo Residence, Las Vegas, including Wuji Building, were all attacked at the same time, with dozens of people killed and injured!"
Di Long looked at Li Wuji and said solemnly, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.
Upon hearing Di Long's answer, Li Wuji frowned instantly, and the remaining tiredness was swept away.
"Who did this?!"
Cao Zian also rushed over and asked loudly after hearing Di Long's words.
But after asking, he was stunned for a moment and understood the answer to the question.
"Who else could it be?!"
Di Long gritted his teeth and said harshly.
Li Wuji said nothing, turned back to the room, put on his clothes, and walked straight to the front yard without saying a word, with a strong murderous intent exuding from his whole body.
Apart from Yue Lingyao, there is probably no other person who dares to provoke Li Wuji like this in the capital.
Pang Xiaoxiao stood in front of his room, watching Li Wuji leave with Cao Zian and others, his face solemn and his brows full of worry.
...
After a long time.
The first floor in the world.
Li Wuji stood in the hall on the first floor, looking at the broken tables and chairs on the ground, the several corpses that had been placed together, and the man sitting in the corner who was being bandaged, with a scary and gloomy expression.
He did not expect that Yue Lingshan did not go to find him, but instead came like this.
This situation was something he had never expected.
Cao Zian and Di Long on the side were already furious and clenched their teeth. They were just waiting for Li Wuji's order to kill them and demand justice!
Only Lu Yuan was still standing by with an expressionless face, without blinking, looking at Li Wuji quietly.
"How many people died in total?"
Li Wuji looked at the corpses and asked calmly.
"Including several other places, there are fifteen people in total."
Di Long gritted his teeth and said slowly.
"Lao Cao."
"A rich burial."
Li Wuji said two words lightly, turned around and walked straight out.
"yes."
"Sir, please bring your subordinates with you. I will notify all Tianyuan in the capital now!"
Cao Zian immediately agreed and said loudly to Li Wuji who had already walked out of the door.
"Do what you have to do and don't leave your dead brother unattended!"
Li Wuji dropped a word coldly, and took Di Long and Lu Yuan straight to the Dengfeng Inn.
...
Dengfeng Inn.
In the lobby on the first floor, a woman wearing a green gown sat lazily at a table, quietly drinking tea.
Ten disciples stood guard in various corners of the inn, vigilantly observing the movement outside the door, each with their ears pricked up.
The entire inn was eerily quiet, not a single sound could be heard, except for the occasional slight sound of tea dripping from the cup.
At this moment, a carriage slowly stopped at the door of the inn, and then Li Wuji, dressed in white, walked out of the carriage, got off the carriage and walked straight to the inn.
The steps are gentle and slow, like strolling in a leisurely garden.
Di Long and Lu Yuan followed behind silently, ready to take action at any time.
Not only that, there are already hundreds of Tianshu hidden within the three surrounding streets, surrounding the Dengfeng Inn.
Soon, Li Wuji walked straight into the inn without any obstruction. The moment they entered, the door behind them suddenly closed and locked!
It seems that the Dengfeng Inn at this moment has already become a trap.
"It seems you knew I was coming."
Li Wuji glanced at the suddenly closed door behind him and the two sword-wielding men who appeared at the door. Then he looked at the woman in green who was drinking tea and said coldly.
"Are you Mr. Wuji?"
The woman in green clothes slowly raised her head, looked at Li Wuji with interest, and asked lightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"yes."
Li Wuji replied coldly.
"I have long heard that your Excellency is a rare unicorn talent that can only be seen in a century, with both civil and military skills, but I didn't know that you are such a sick man. Why don't you live a good life? Why do you provoke people who shouldn't be provoked?"
The woman in green sneered and asked disdainfully.
"Everyone should do a few things according to their own wishes in their lifetime, regardless of right or wrong. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time in this world."
Li Wuji said lightly, went straight to the chair opposite the woman in green and sat down, reached for the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup.
Seeing this scene, the originally aloof woman in green was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips and smiled, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
"It makes sense, as long as you don't regret it."
The woman in green smiled, raised her tea cup, gestured to Li Wuji, lowered her head and took a sip.
"The person you are looking for is me, why do you have to hurt innocent people? Just to regain the lost face of Lingyao Sword Sect?"
After Li Wuji took a sip of tea, he looked into the eyes of the woman in green and asked lightly.
"When you first arrive in the capital, you should prepare some greeting gifts. I hope the young master likes them."
"I have always believed in reciprocity. If you killed five of my people, I would only repay you three times. I have already saved your face."
The woman in green clothes said with a smile, in an understatement, and even described the murder as a gift to Li Wuji.
She is none other than Yue Lingyao, the head of the Lingyao Sword Sect who became famous at a young age!
"Master Yue has taken the trouble, but if you kill my people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave the capital alive."
Li Wuji said lightly, with a smile even more nonchalant than Yue Lingyao's.
Hearing Li Wuji's words, Yue Lingyao couldn't help but look at Li Wuji carefully again, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud, making her branches quiver with laughter.
"Young master seems to have misjudged the current situation, and it will be difficult for him to leave alive. I'm afraid it's your Excellency, right?"
"But it's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like this."
After laughing, Yue Lingyao looked at Li Wuji meaningfully and said, with a trace of evil spirit gradually revealed in his eyes.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't come."
"I know, you are deliberately forcing me to show up."
Li Wuji said calmly.
"Now that you know it, do you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that there will be no return?"
"Don't think you can escape unscathed if you arrange for people to surround this inn."
Yue Lingyao looked at Li Wuji curiously and asked softly.
The two people were obviously incompatible, but now they seemed like friends they hadn't seen for a long time, one more calm than the other.
"Someone warned me not to kill you if you don't want things to get out of hand."
"But you killed more than a dozen of my people. This debt can't be offset with just one or two sentences. It seems I'm going to let him down."
Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly.
"It seems you have made your decision."
"Eight hard-working men, ninth-grade swordsmen, they are very good."
"But for me, it's totally vulnerable."
Yue Lingyao glanced at Di Long and Lu Yuan who were standing behind Li Wuji, and said nonchalantly.
"Your opponent is me, not them."
