Great Li Martial God

Seeing this scene, Meng Shan was clearly stunned for a moment.

After reacting, he hurriedly tried to prevent it, but it was already too late.

A trace of annoyance immediately flashed through Meng Shan's eyes. He could only raise his blade and charge at the bald man again while turning back to shout at Yuan Mei, "I'll hold him off. You leave immediately."

Hearing this, Yuan Mei said nothing more and immediately brought the scholar along, quickly leaving by the mountain path ahead.

"Want to leave? My Blood-Bathed Alliance's experts are nearby. Today you all must die here."

The bald man's eyes were wide with fury. He completely didn't care about Meng Shan's obstruction. Right now, he only wanted to use the fishing rod in his hands to smash the person before him into meat paste!

...

At the same time, Li Musheng standing on a branch in the mountain forest shaded his eyes with his hand, looking at the firework in the sky that hadn't completely dissipated yet, and asked, "Miss Cang, does this count as having botched things?"

The current situation was already very obvious. The bald man, unable to win the fight, had actually started calling for reinforcements.

If nothing unexpected happened, this mountain forest would soon be surrounded by people from the Blood-Bathed Alliance. The path ahead would probably be even harder to traverse than it was just now. Hearing this, Cang Yinyue's curved delicate brows unconsciously twitched.

The strategy of using one wolf to devour another was proposed by her. Given the current situation, she indeed bore great responsibility.

However, she naturally wouldn't easily admit defeat. Glancing at Li Musheng, she said, "Don't rush. At worst, the situation is just this. We can simply force our way through directly."

Saying this, her gaze looked toward Meng Shan and the other who were currently fighting, "Besides, with them here, they can still attract quite a bit of the Blood-Bathed Alliance's attention for us."

Hearing this, Li Musheng shrugged without saying much.

Regarding this young lady Cang Yinyue's proud and stubborn temperament, he wasn't surprised in the least.

Before long, seeing that the timing was about right, Meng Shan gathered his true qi and fiercely slashed out with a blade.

The powerful blade light split earth and cracked stone, forcing the bald man back. He then swiftly turned and fled rapidly along the mountain path.

Seeing this, the bald man naturally couldn't let him go. Furiously holding his fishing rod, he continued chasing after him!

Seeing that both had already left, only then did Cang Yinyue and Li Musheng ride their mule-horses out from the forest, stepping onto the mountain path to continue forward.

After traveling for a stretch, they were safe and sound, not encountering anyone blocking the road.

However, at this time, Cang Yinyue suddenly spoke softly, "In this matter, I still overlooked something. The Blood-Bathed Alliance aren't fools. What I can think of, they may not be unable to think of."

She had miscalculated. In order to guard against invasion by enemy forces, the Blood-Bathed Alliance would certainly not overlook any path entering their territory.

And this kind of hidden mountain path, for the Blood-Bathed Alliance who were the local power, they naturally couldn't be unaware of it.

Therefore, under the current special circumstances in Chong Province, what seemed like the safest path actually harbored the greatest danger.

"Miss Cang, you needn't blame yourself. In all matters, one must compare. Our current situation is much better than those three unlucky fellows."

Li Musheng, sitting on the mule-horse's back, stroked his chin and smiled, "Those three fellows are now being hunted and fleeing for their lives by the Blood-Bathed Alliance. How could they leisurely ride horses and travel like us?"

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue's expression stirred slightly. Looking at Li Musheng's leisurely appearance, she secretly sighed that he was quite carefree.

Little did she know, the current situation was just the calm before the storm. With the Blood-Bathed Alliance's martial world power in this area, it was impossible for Meng Shan's group of three to escape.

And next, she and Li Musheng probably couldn't avoid it either. They would very likely have to face the same situation as Meng Shan's group of three now faced.

Just as she was thinking this, Cang Yinyue's expression suddenly changed as she raised her head to look forward.

What one fears comes to pass. On the mountain path ahead, a group of figures suddenly appeared, perfectly blocking their way.

Looking carefully, there were quite a few bloodstains remaining on the path ahead, and in the fallen bushes beside them lay several corpses wearing red headbands.

The Blood-Bathed Alliance members all habitually wrapped their heads with red cloth. These people were probably killed by Meng Shan's group as they fled past.

"Who are you people?"

The one asking was a middle-aged man wearing gray robes and wielding double hammers.

His eyes were vigilant and dangerous, showing strong killing intent toward Li Musheng and the other.

At the same time he spoke, a group of subordinates holding blades around them had already slowly surrounded Li Musheng and the other.

Seeing this, Cang Yinyue produced a token in her hand and said coldly, "I am a Silver Badge Constable from the imperial court's Six Doors, ordered to return to Jing Province to handle a case and passing through this place. Why are you blocking the road here?"

At these words, Li Musheng beside her turned his head, his face showing a trace of surprise.

Wasn't this young lady from the Hidden Intelligence Bureau? How had she become someone from Six Doors now?

His gaze looked toward the token in Cang Yinyue's hand. It really did seem to be a Six Doors constable's token.

So when going out, this young lady's identity was whatever she said it was?

Cang Yinyue seemed to sense the gaze from Li Musheng. She quietly transmitted her voice into his ear with true qi condensed into threads, explaining, "The Hidden Intelligence Bureau's identity can't be revealed. When I need to use an imperial court identity, I generally present myself as someone from Six Doors."

"If the Blood-Bathed Alliance people recognize this Six Doors token, perhaps we won't need to make a move next."

Hearing this, Li Musheng nodded almost imperceptibly.

At this time, after the middle-aged man ahead looked at the token in Cang Yinyue's hand, he instead narrowed his eyes and said, "A few days ago, spies from Yinshan Gate borrowed the Six Doors' warrant under the guise of investigating a case, taking the opportunity to ambush and assassinate an elder in our alliance."

"Right now, what I hate most are people from Six Doors. You spies are trying the same old trick on me. It won't work."

Having said this, he signaled with his eyes, indicating for his subordinates to continue forward, "First capture these two for me. If they dare resist, just cut them down directly!"

Seeing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at Cang Yinyue, "This person clearly hasn't read much. No logic at all. People impersonating Six Doors killed someone. What does that have to do with Six Doors?"

"Might as well just openly say he finds us disagreeable and wants to kill us. Not honest at all in how he conducts himself."

Cang Yinyue's expression was cold as she said indifferently, "Taking out this token was just to try. The court's orders only work on ordinary common people. For these martial world people, they're not as effective as the blades and swords in their hands."

As her words fell, the next instant, her entire person suddenly transformed into a dark shadow and drifted out.

The crowd advancing with blades cried out in alarm. The shadow passed over their heads like a swift wind, arriving before the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted. After reacting, the true qi in his body erupted violently. Both hands raised the double hammers, smashing toward his front with full force.

Instantly, the air produced thunder-like explosive sounds, rolling up a fierce whirlwind that seemed to want to tear that dark shadow to shreds.
