Chapter 219: Jianghu Dispute, the Chief is Not Obedient 63
As the saying goes, if the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die. The person above has issued the final ultimatum, and even if Li Youan is unwilling, he has to bite the bullet.
Although it was only a few months, it was more than what he had experienced in the previous twenty years. After he saw the power of these rumors, he felt horrified and felt that it was so easy to accomplish something by telling a lie.
Regarding the rumors about the Holy Moon Cult, Li Youan stood on the attic, looking at the crowd below. Among the younger generation, some were high-spirited, while others were at a loss. Among the seniors, some were calculating, while others were passionate. Li Youan suddenly found it ridiculous when he saw this. They hadn't verified anything, but they were willing to risk their lives to follow others' words.
But he also smiled, but in his heart he was laughing at himself. No matter how good he was at criticizing others, how good could he be? He clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath. The confusion and guilt in his eyes turned into hardness. Because of this, he had to climb up at all costs to become a superior person.
"Reporting to the leader, the inventory has been completed and there are no differences." After counting the number of people and supplies, the subordinates came to report.
Li Youan nodded. He waved his hand and set off with a huge group of people. As he marched along the way, he thought. If it was the Holy Moon Sect led by Shuangjiang, he knew the other party's character. It would be a fierce battle. Because with her character, she would rather die than flee without a fight.
And now the Holy Moon Cult is in the hands of that woman...
According to his spies' reports, the Holy Moon Cult has been doing fine these days, except for the reduction of patrols. Based on his understanding of Leng Nuan, although the other party is upright, he is definitely not a roundabout person. So her inaction made him feel that something was wrong. But his intuition told him that this was the case. This action was not only because of the order from above, but also because he felt it was reasonable, so he decided to attack.
This contradictory feeling made him even more uncomfortable when their troops arrived at the foot of the Holy Moon Cult's mountain.
The people in the town looked at them silently, but it did not affect them and they continued to do what they had to do. They had lived here for so many years, and they were able to live in peace because of the protection of the Holy Moon Sect, which prevented the invasion of the surrounding mountain strongholds. Seeing the hope of a better life, who would be happy? However, when they thought about the Holy Moon Sect's special instructions not to conflict with them, they said they would handle it well, so they didn't have to worry. So when most people saw these outsiders coming to attack the Holy Moon Sect, they suppressed their anger and disgust.
"Alliance leader, aren't these people's behavior a bit strange?"
Before Li Youan could answer, another follower beside him said, "He must be staying here for the sake of our leader."
What he said actually made some sense. After all, they were only here to attack the Holy Moon Cult, not to be bandits. So it was normal for the people not to leave. Moreover, their leader had repeatedly emphasized that the people should not be harassed.
Li Youan's mind was not here. He led the team and stared at the mountain ahead.
This kind of large-scale fight has not occurred in the martial arts world for many years. Therefore, the younger generation of this group of people looked at the reaction of the town residents and felt a little relieved. They thought that the Holy Moon Sect was nothing special. Especially when they came to the stone gate with the three words "Holy Moon Sect" written in big cursive script, this thought became more obvious.
Because in front of the stone gate, which should have been heavily guarded, there were only a few guards, yawning and looking at them lazily.
The leading man waved his hand and asked the others to open the door a little more, as if he was thinking of you, so that their large group could enter.
Everyone looked at the door that was opening wider and wider in surprise, and a sense of conspiracy emerged in their hearts.
"What? You don't dare to come in?" The man who opened the door laughed at the group of people who were a little bit afraid to come in. Then, in front of everyone's surprise, he waved his hand again, but this time he was beckoning his men to come in. He also complained in disdain. "Tsk, come in if you want."
They just opened the door and left!!!
This operation left everyone clueless.
"Alliance leader. Could this be a conspiracy?"
Li Youan pursed his lips tightly and looked at the open door. Finally, he said loudly: "No matter if it is a conspiracy or not, we must go in. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
They thought that after they entered, they would face swords and hidden weapons everywhere. Just when everyone was tense to the extreme, what came into their eyes was a leisurely scene——
Under the warm winter sun, the dense forest swayed in the wind, and the fallen leaves were colorful. Under the wide tree, there was a tea table with snacks, and next to it was a small stove, boiling tea. Next to it sat three men and two women, chatting and laughing, and it was a picture of a peaceful time.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was so relaxing and pleasant. Among the people in the group, a well-mannered man came up and asked, "Excuse me, where is your leader?"
"Ah, you want to find our leader. He is in the back mountain. You should go that way. That road is closer."
"..."
"..."
You people in the Holy Moon Sect are all very warm and kind!
Leng Nuan thinks that no matter how macro and logical the story is, there will always be some bugs. Because things designed by humans will always miss something.
In some novels and movies that the system showed her when she was free in the space cabin, especially in the scenes when facing the final conflict. For example, some sects clearly have very powerful hermits, but they always suddenly disappear at the critical moment.
For example, the protagonist clearly has a powerful protector who often comes out to help on weekdays, but disappears at the critical moment.
So this seemingly unreasonable but actually reasonable thing gave her an experience and understanding during this trip.
When the crowd outside came to her, Leng Nuan put away her divergent thoughts and looked at the performance of the people opposite her seriously. Li Youan's face quickly flashed three points of confusion, three points of weirdness, three points of determination, and one point of struggle.
Well, don’t ask her how she could tell the score so accurately; it’s because of the plot.
The two looked at each other in silence, and for a moment it was unclear who would speak first.
……
……
This weird atmosphere is really unbearable.
An angry uncle who looked like he had no patience jumped out and shouted, "Monster..." However, after seeing the other person's righteous face, he swallowed it back. This pause caused his momentum to drop.
"Don't waste your time. Things are just as you thought. Let's do it." Leng Nuan said directly to Li Youan. At the same time, he looked at him with a questioning look. He didn't know whether he met the requirements or not.
