Master Du’e was worried that Ye Qiu’s actions would anger the Forbidden City and persuaded, “Benefactor Ye, this old monk thinks this is inappropriate.”
”There are still many masters in the Forbidden City. If you completely anger them, they will surely kill you.”
”Moreover, you are not suitable to declare war on them now.”
Ye Qiu said, “Master, thank you for considering me, but you overlooked a fact that my father is Ye Wushuang.”
”As soon as Long Wu left the customs, he already suspected my identity. This shows that Long Qi and Long Ba have long suspected my identity.”
”Out of the principle of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go, whether I anger the Forbidden City or not, they will kill me.”
”Therefore, I want to take advantage of the fact that Long Yi has not left the customs, use Long Wu’s corpse to completely anger Long Qi and Long Ba, lead them out of the Forbidden City, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
Ye Qiu continued, “There will be a life-and-death battle between me and the Forbidden City sooner or later.”
”I want to kill a few more people before the decisive battle.”
”In this way, when the decisive battle comes, perhaps I still have a glimmer of hope of winning.”
Hearing this, Master Du’e asked, “Benefactor Ye, have you ever thought about what to do if Long Qi and Long Ba don’t take the bait?”
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Then use Long Wu’s corpse to piss them off.”
”Benefactor Ye, the old monk still thinks it’s inappropriate.” Master Du’e said, “Once Long Wu’s corpse returns to Beijing, based on his injuries, Long Qi and Long Ba will know that Benefactor Ye has comprehended our Tianlong Temple’s town temple unique skill, the Six Meridian Divine Sword.”
”Although those two guys are old, they are not muddle-headed.”
”Even if they are angry, they won’t take risks to kill you. Plus, Long Liu was killed by a mysterious master, and they will be even less likely to act rashly.”
”Not only that, but they will also know that Benefactor Ye’s strength has greatly increased.”
”At that time, Benefactor Ye will not only fail to draw out Long Qi and Long Ba, but also expose your trump card.”
”The old monk feels that at this time, Benefactor Ye should hide his strength and bide his time, quietly improve his cultivation, and make the people in the Forbidden City unable to figure out your true strength.”
”Only in this way, when the decisive battle comes in the future, your chance of winning will be greater.”
Ye Qiu’s face was full of surprise.
He had always thought that Master Du’e was a relatively dull person before. It was not until this moment that he discovered that Master Du’e was also a shrewd person.
”Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Master, you are really a man of great wisdom.”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he silently read three words in his heart.
Old sly fox!
Master Du’e continued, “Benefactor Ye, since my master has ascended to the land of Bliss, as a disciple I should observe mourning for my master for three years. For the next days, I won’t be able to accompany you. Please feel free to do as you like.”
Ye Qiu said, “The divine monk has a great kindness to me. As a junior, I have nothing to repay. So I will keep vigil for the divine monk here for three days!”
Master Du’e put his hands together and said, “Amitabha, thank you, Benefactor Ye!”
”Master, you’re welcome. I’ll go and deal with the corpse of Long Wu first.” After saying that, Ye Qiu directly set Long Wu’s body on fire.
……
Two days later.
The Forbidden City, the council chamber.
In the middle of the hall, a black tung wood coffin was parked, and inside it was the corpse of Long Liu.
Long Qi and Long Ba stood on both sides of the coffin, with worried expressions on their faces.
”Brother Wu has been gone for two days. Why is there no news at all?” Long Ba said.
Long Qi said, “Tomorrow is the day for Brother Liu’s funeral. If Brother Wu doesn’t come back, he will miss it. Lao Ba, call Brother Wu.”
Long Ba said, “I have called Brother Wu dozens of times, but all of them couldn’t be connected.”
“Tianlong Temple is in Wuliang Mountain, Dali. It’s very remote. Maybe there’s no signal!” After saying that, Long Qi yawned and looked very tired.
”Brother Qi, didn’t you rest well last night?” Long Wu said with concern, “You’re not young anymore. You must take care of your body.”
Long Qi waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. I just feel a bit restless recently and had nightmares all night last night.”
Long Ba was stunned: “Brother Seven, I also felt inexplicably flustered in the past two days and had a nightmare last night.”
Long Qi asked: “What kind of nightmare?”
Long Ba said in a deep voice: “I dreamed that Brother Five was covered in blood and struggling in a sea of flames. While struggling, he was still waving to me. I wanted to save Brother Five, but the fire was too fierce and I couldn’t rush in at all…”
Before Long Ba could finish speaking, Long Qi asked: “Was Brother Five still shouting loudly, saying that he died miserably and asking you to avenge him?”
Long Ba nodded: “Yes, Brother Five kept shouting to me in the dream, saying that Little Eighth, you must avenge me. I died so miserably.”
The scariest thing was that Brother Five’s whole head was flattened as if it had been trampled on by someone.”
I really don’t know why I would have such a nightmare. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat last night…”
After Long Ba finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Long Qi and saw that Long Qi’s face was as pale as paper. He hurriedly asked: “Brother Seven, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”
Long Qi’s lips trembled and he said: “The nightmare I had last night was exactly the same as yours. I also dreamed that Brother Five was struggling in a big fire, shouting for me to avenge him, and his whole head was trampled on.”
“What?” Long Ba was shocked and said in confusion, “How could we have the same dream?”
Long Qi said with a solemn expression, “All dreams have omens. Fifth brother may have had an accident.”
Long Ba said, “Fifth brother can’t be contacted. Seventh brother, why don’t we rush to Tianlong Temple immediately?”
Long Qi shook his head and said, “If Fifth brother really had an accident, it would be too late by the time we rush over.”
Besides, if Fifth brother, with his skills, would have an accident, then us rushing over would just be to die.
“Moreover, until now, we haven’t found the murderer who killed Sixth brother.”
“So no matter what, the two of us can’t leave the Forbidden City. Only by staying here will we be safe.”
Long Ba said, “The day Fifth brother left, he sent back a message saying that he had arrived at Wuliang Mountain.”
“According to the report from our informant, in addition to Monk Kongjian and Du E in Wuliang Mountain, there are only Ye Qiu, Lin Jingzhi, and Qian Duoduo.”
“Lin Jingzhi and Qian Duoduo are both ordinary people and don’t know martial arts.”
“As for Ye Qiu, although he has the strength comparable to that of the masters on the Dragon Ranking, Fifth brother could kill him with one hand.”
“As for Du E, even you, Seventh brother, can’t beat him, so naturally he can’t be Fifth brother’s opponent either.”
“Unless…”
Long Ba said up to here, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes: “Unless it was that old bald donkey Kongjian who made a move.”
Long Qi ordered, “You ask our informant to keep an eye on Wuliang Mountain. Once there is any sign of trouble, report immediately.”
“Whether Fifth Brother is in trouble or not, we shouldn’t act rashly for the time being. After Big Brother and the others leave seclusion, none of the enemies in the Forbidden City will be able to live.”
As Long Qi said this, a cold and eerie light emerged in his eyes.
“Ye Qiu, Ye Wudi, and that old bald donkey Kongjian, you all wait for me. Your death is coming soon!”
