Chapter 1062 Knife

The angry Yuan Qu drew his sword and rushed towards Hu Qiong'er. But he was stopped halfway. The long sword with scales whizzed past, and Yuan Qu flew back in the lingering sound.

"Lu Heng, what do you want to do!"

Yuan Qu was furious. He stabilized his body and turned around to rush again. This time Lu Heng arrived first, and the scale-patterned sword fell on his head with the momentum of Mount Tai. Yuan Qu could only stop and avoid it.

Two swords forced Yuan Qu to retreat, but Lu Heng did not chase him again. He stood proudly with his long sword pointed diagonally, and his tiger eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Killing to silence people?"

"I...!"

Yuan Qu calmed down at this time. He suddenly lost his mind when the incident happened just now. Thinking back now, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking at Lu Heng, then at the angry Baijie Taoist, his eyes swept around the people present, and he saw that his subordinates no longer had respect in their eyes, and some were just suspicious and contemptuous. He suddenly understood something.

Thinking more carefully, from Lu Heng's tolerance over the years, to Baijie Taoist's ambiguous attitude that he never said clearly, to Li Chuyi's easy inquiries about Yan Wuxu's whereabouts after returning to Taixu Palace, and even further inquiries about Ma Xiuwen and Hu Qiong'er's whereabouts, his heart suddenly turned cold, and then it was burned by the anger of resentment.

"You are playing tricks on me!"

"Playing crazy and stupid!"

With a cold snort, Lu Heng dodged and pressed forward, not giving him any time to speak.

Yuan Qu was forced to retreat step by step, with more and more knife wounds on his body, but his heart became clearer and clearer.

At this moment, he understood a lot of things.

Lu Heng also wanted to purge Taixu Palace, but because the chaos in Taixu Palace had just been resolved, his eldest disciple unexpectedly became the biggest hidden chess piece planted by Dayan. Lu Heng's negligence was set in stone. If he took ruthless measures to purge the entire sect at this time, Taixu Palace would likely have a big mess.

The disciples' alienation was a small matter, but if the peak masters and elders of each peak were alienated, it would be a big trouble.

So Lu Heng needed a knife, a suitable and reasonable knife, but it could eliminate all hidden dangers on his behalf without scruples. The bad guys were all played by the knife, and the good guys were played by Lu Heng who "swallowed his anger".

And this knife was himself.

Lu Heng knew all his ambitions. He knew that he was a wolf cub that could not be fed. He would submit to and follow the strong, but once the strong implemented it, he would be prepared to be bitten back by himself.

Lu Heng knew, but he didn't mind. When he talked about this many times, Lu Heng said frankly that he was very fortunate to have his own existence. He was not only capable, but also ambitious, which could spur him all the time not to relax, otherwise he would be replaced in an instant.

Yuan Qu himself has always enjoyed this alternative relationship. Some superiors and subordinates are like friends, and some are like enemies, but he thinks that the best is this state of both enemies and friends. If you are strong, I will obey you, if you are weak, I will eat you, and spur and encourage each other during the pursuit. This is the normal relationship between cultivators.

What kind of support and assistance is that it is the sympathy of the strong and the pleading of the weak. Yuan Qu has always sneered. Only when the roots are firmly planted by oneself can they be the most stable. If you rely on other big trees to rise straight up, one day you will end up with a monkey scattering when the tree falls.

He and Lu Heng had always used overt schemes, and both sides knew what was in each other's mind. He never expected that Lu Heng, who had always been straightforward, would one day plot against him, and he had not completely awakened to such a clumsy method until today.

It was not that he was stupid, nor that Lu Heng's methods were so clever, but because Lu Heng's "noble man" was so reassuring.

The existence of Baijie Taoist wiped out all of Yuan Qu's concerns. From his many dissatisfactions with Lu Heng during the rebellion of Dayan to his severe rebuke of Lu Heng during the rewards and punishments after the war, Lu Heng's loss of power was well known. At this time, Baijie Taoist expressed his appreciation for him on behalf of the Third Ancestor, so how could he think about anything else?

Even if he had doubts at first, Baijie Taoist's acquiescence and indulgence later made his heart gradually settle down, and at the same time, he also made him understand Baijie Taoist's bottom line little by little.

It was not allowed to hurt innocent disciples, but Baijie Taoist would not ask a single question to cut off Lu Heng's wings.

Baijie Daoist's attitude successfully confused him, so that he didn't even think about the simplest question. If the Third Ancestor really wanted him to be the head of the sect, why didn't he just dismiss Lu Heng from the position of head of the sect and announce that he would take over?

He was proud and thought that this was a test, that the Third Ancestor was testing his ability and giving him the opportunity to establish his prestige and cultivate his team.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all. The three old sly guys are just watching the show. He is a knife, and they naturally hope that he can make as much trouble as possible. A measured knife will make Taixu Palace cleaner, and it is not a pity to throw it away after staining it with dirty blood.

The funny thing is that he claims to be smart but is always blinded by one leaf. He once placed all his trust in Lu Heng on Baijie Daoist.

He should have seen what was going to happen today a long time ago, from the time when Baijie Taoist failed to stop Li Chuyi on his first try, to the sudden appearance of Lu Heng, and then the arrival of Li Chuyi's close friends such as Ye Zhichen and Mu Xueqing, until finally the old man personally broke the seal and took out such a "real" memory. He had so many opportunities to see through the mystery and save the situation, but he never did, or he didn't dare to think too deeply about it.

Now, the half-true and half-false "iron evidence" made it difficult for him to defend himself, and in the end he was labeled as "silencing someone", and in front of so many silent hall disciples. He no longer needed Li Chuyi, the crazy boy, to influence his emotions. He had become the most treacherous and evil person in Taixu Palace.

Seeing Lu Heng swinging his sword with righteousness, Yuan Qu suddenly laughed.

The head of Taixu Palace has never changed from beginning to end, that is Lu Heng.

Lu Heng is not old, he is still the tyrant sword that makes him helpless.

"Come on!"

He took the sword without dodging or blocking, and his chest exploded and his bones were broken, which hurt, but Yuan Qu felt very refreshed.

He saw through everything and let go of everything. At this moment, he threw all the fame, wealth and power behind him, and he just wanted to fight with Lu Heng.

To save face for himself.

After working hard all his life, he realized that it was just a mirage when he was about to reach the top. How could he be willing?

It would be fine if he was defeated in an upright manner, but he didn't have even the slightest chance from the beginning to the end. Everything was fake. It was a trap set by others. He was very angry and aggrieved.

Even if he was doomed to be infamous, he would make a name for himself in this final battle.

He urged his Dantian fiercely, his mana exploded, and the secret method of the Dao of Transformation flowed through his heart. He would make these people pay the price even if he risked his life.

The Dao of Transformation in the Ascension Period was not ordinary. Seeing Yuan Qu fighting desperately, the faces of the people present changed.

Ye Zhichen drew his sword and prepared to cut him down first, but Baijie Taoist had already dodged to the front. He raised his big hand as if he had pulled the sky, and hit Yuan Qu's Dantian heavily with unparalleled strength.

Without even a hum, Yuan Qu fell straight to the ground, and climbed out of the big pit a moment later, with a trace of a miserable smile on his face.

Baijie Taoist controlled his strength very well. His Dantian was shattered but not scattered, but the surrounding meridians were all cut off. He had used this method before, so he knew very well that Baijie Taoist did not miss, but was giving him a chance to choose.

If he obeyed, his Dantian would have a chance to recover; if he did not obey, as long as he added a little more strength and hit him again, he would become a disabled person if he did not die.

"Evil creature! You have committed a big mistake and do not repent. You dare to be violent. Are you worthy of your dead master and the ancestors of Taixu Palace?!"

The angry rebuke of Baijie Taoist made Yuan Qu's miserable smile even stronger.

He could beat him half-disabled with one palm, but he could not control a little ghost. He did not think deeply about it. It was really ridiculous to think about it now.

With magic power but unable to use it, Yuan Qu could no longer support the injuries on his body. He sat on the ground coughing blood.

Lu Heng flew down and stood proudly in front of him, looking down at him. He had not seen that kind of eyes for decades.

"Yuan Qu, admit your mistake. You just made a mistake. Considering your past achievements, the ancestor will definitely give you a lighter sentence. I will also plead for you. It is not easy for you to achieve the immortality. Now that the gate to immortality is about to open, you may have a chance. Don't be impulsive and end up in a dead end!"

Plead for mercy?

Yuan Qu smiled.

He wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but the winners are the winners, and his integrity would not allow him to engage in such meaningless verbal disputes.

After thinking about it, he suddenly became curious and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You know very well that your little apprentice's departure has nothing to do with me. I really want to know, was it your idea or our old man's idea?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Heng whispered: "Admit your mistake, and then follow us back to Taixu Palace to heal your wounds."

Without answering, Yuan Qu's eyes wandered around Lu Heng and Baijie Taoist for a few circles, and finally glanced at Li Chuyi with a flash of his eyes, his brows relaxed and tightened again, until Lu Heng asked again before he came back to his senses.

"It's cruel enough."

Yuan Qu nodded gently.

"It's ruthless enough!"

A cold light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, and Yuan Qu chuckled: "But this is the Tyrant Sword I know! I lost this game."

After speaking, Yuan Qu struggled to get up with the sword.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. You know my character, win is win, lose is lose. I will cooperate with you to take care of the aftermath after I go back. You don't need to treat the wound. Just help me find a good place to bury myself after the matter is over."

"You..."

Without giving Lu Heng a chance to persuade him again, Yuan Qu turned the hilt of the sword upside down and knocked it hard against his Dantian. The undispersed spiritual energy in the long sword instantly poured into it, and the Dantian, which was already in danger, instantly dispersed. The runaway magic power immediately stirred up the meridians in the lower abdomen, and the skin and flesh squirmed endlessly as if there were countless small insects swimming in it.

Lu Heng's face sank, and he quickly sealed his Dantian, so that his Dantian did not explode directly. Baijie Taoist also changed his face, took out a pill and flew down.

Holding the limp Yuan Qu, Lu Heng sighed.

"Why bother?"

"Haha, there's nothing I can do. I've reached the end of my road."

Over Lu Heng's shoulder, Yuan Qu looked at the Taoist Baijie who was flying down, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.

"I am the silent master. I know better than anyone that some people cannot live. Lu Heng, be careful. I am a knife. You...haha..."
