Chapter 1122

If she wasn't one of the Six Ghosts of the Yellow River, then Hearing Gai Nie truly had no idea what Miss Xiao Li actually was.

"Before the Great Zhou, in the age of antiquity, there was a Demon God Chi You, who contended with Huang Di for dominion over the world.

"Mr. Gai, have you ever heard this legend?"

The Shanzhuang Master said.

Hearing the Shanzhuang Master bring this up, Miss Xiao Li, who had just been gradually calming down, suddenly trembled, looking extremely tense.

Hearing Gai Nie sensed it at once, and figured the Shanzhuang Master must have deduced Miss Xiao Li's true identity.

"I've heard it! But isn't it just a legend?"

Chi You, Huang Di and the like—no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a legend cooked up by ignorant commoners.

After all, when those two fought the Battle of Zhuolu, not only did the very winds and clouds shift, but countless immortals, demons and monsters joined the fray.

So much so that later generations called Chi You the Demon God!

If there really was a Demon God, why has he never shown himself again?

"Sometimes legends aren't necessarily untrue."

The Shanzhuang Master said meaningfully, then continued,

"This Chi You was immensely powerful, the joint chieftain of the Nine Li tribes.

After his defeat, the Nine Li tribes fell apart, went into hiding, and concealed themselves among the common folk.

This Miss Xiao Li is the Holy Maiden of the Lu Li tribe among the Nine Li."

Nine Li?

Holy Maiden of the Lu Li tribe?

Hearing Gai Nie listened to the words from the Shanzhuang Master's mouth, couldn't help feeling a bit curious, and lowered his head to look at Miss Xiao Li.

He found Miss Xiao Li pale-faced, panicked, gripping her own sleeve tightly.

Clearly what the Shanzhuang Master said was actually true?!

Could it be that the Nine Li tribe really existed in this world, and the Demon God Chi You really existed too?

But how could that be possible?

904 You want to challenge me?

"Shanzhuang Master, could it be that you're after some treasure of the Lu Li tribe?"

Hearing Gai Nie looked at Miss Xiao Li, who was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, and couldn't bear it in his heart.

He immediately stopped looking at her, raised his head toward the Shanzhuang Master and asked.

"Yes, and no."

The Shanzhuang Master said with a smile,

"The place where the Lu Li tribe dwells is a hidden location.

Apart from Miss Xiao Li, no one knows how to get there.

The favor I wish Mr. to help me with is precisely to assist me in finding the Lu Li tribe."

Hearing Gai Nie sighed inwardly.

Miss Xiao Li being the Holy Maiden of the Lu Li tribe clearly meant the Lu Li tribe's strength was rather ordinary.

If he truly helped Despair Shanzhuang find the Lu Li tribe's base, he had no idea how many innocent people of the Lu Li tribe would die a tragic death.

After all, judging by this Shanzhuang Master's style, it was 'prosper for those who submit, perish for those who resist'!

If the Lu Li tribe really was part of the Nine Li, descendants of the Demon God, they clearly would not submit to Despair Shanzhuang.

Hearing Gai Nie did not wish to not kill Bo Ren, only for Bo Ren to die because of him.

He immediately prepared to open his mouth and flatly refuse the Shanzhuang Master's request.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. If my guess isn't far off, the Nine Springs Jade-Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower is right there in the Lu Li tribe!"

He didn't expect the Shanzhuang Master to once again see through Hearing Gai Nie's thoughts, and speak first.

What?

The Nine Springs Jade-Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower is right there in the Lu Li tribe?

How did this Shanzhuang Master of Despair Shanzhuang know that he wanted that Nine Springs Jade-Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower?

Hearing Gai Nie was once again utterly shocked in his heart, and instinctively looked toward Miss Xiao Li.

Sure enough, although Miss Xiao Li didn't dare look at Hearing Gai Nie, upon feeling his gaze she let out a faint sigh and gently nodded.

The Nine Springs Jade-Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower really was in the Lu Li tribe!

Why did it have to be like this?

Hearing Gai Nie couldn't help feeling somewhat torn.

Judging by his usual style of conduct, he would absolutely never do something like helping a tyrant commit evil.

After all, leading Despair Shanzhuang to find the Lu Li tribe would mean a heaven-shaking slaughter, with countless people shedding their blood.

But if he followed his heart and didn't help Despair Shanzhuang, then what would become of Miss Duanmu?

Spend the rest of her life in a coma like this?

How could that be acceptable?

On one side was the code of the jianghu and his own conscience; on the other was the life of his beloved confidante.

Even Hearing Gai Nie couldn't help falling into a dilemma.

"I also know this matter is difficult for you."

The Shanzhuang Master looked at Hearing Gai Nie and spoke again,

"How about this! I can promise you that if the people of the Lu Li tribe know what's good for them, I will absolutely not wrongly kill a single one of them."

For someone so decisive in killing and decisive in action, this promise was indeed not bad.
