Chapter 1254

1076: Entering the Shushan Xian Sect

"If you dare to harm even a single blade of grass or tree of the Li family, Rongr would rather kill herself than continue to live in this world!"

Having said this, Miss Duanmu slowly closed her eyes, preparing to bite her tongue and commit suicide!

"Rongr, you absolutely must not do anything foolish! Big Brother promises you! I will never go provoke the Li Tang imperial family!"

Hearing Gai Nie saw this, his heart trembled wildly, and he hurriedly said:

"Rongr, don't worry! Big Brother will not only not cause trouble for the Li family, on the contrary, I will even help him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, becoming the Great Han Emperor!"

Once these words were spoken, Miss Duanmu immediately widened her eyes, her face full of shock.

She truly could not figure out why her own big brother wanted to help Li Shimin achieve his hegemony.

One must understand, he is merely an ordinary person!

"Rongr, listen to me explain slowly!"

At this moment, Hearing Gai Nie helped Miss Duanmu up, then slowly said:

"Actually, as early as six years ago, I had already entered the Shushan Xian Sect.

I am a disciple of Shushan, so how could I possibly commit the foolish act of slaughtering fellow sect members?"

Hearing Gai Nie sighed and began to recount in detail:

"This matter is a long story when explained…"

He recounted the past events of how Shushan had once encountered a calamity, and the many fellow disciples had all been killed or wounded to the point of near annihilation.

"Back then, we were originally the five strongest disciples of Shushan.

As a result, in that disaster, we were framed by a traitor, and having no choice, we had no choice but to flee far overseas.

And I, by a stroke of fate, obtained the inheritance of Wu Gong, becoming the new chief disciple of the Shushan Sect.

Later, I lurked in the martial world for several years, and finally found the opportunity to return to Shushan.

Unfortunately, my Master passed away from illness ten years ago, and the Shushan sword techniques were also completely lost."

At this moment, Hearing Gai Nie was filled with sorrow, and his heart was even more full of regret.

If it weren't for being plotted against and framed back then, how could he have left his hometown, hidden his name, and lived a lonely and bitter life?

And listening to Hearing Gai Nie recount the past, Miss Duanmu became more and more shocked the more she listened.

So it turns out, Hearing Gai Nie was actually the personal disciple of the Shushan Sword Immortal!

It's just that Hearing Gai Nie was a person abandoned by his sect, and could only hide his name, travel everywhere, and seek opportunities.

Recently, for a period of time, he occasionally heard that a treasure had descended in the Western Chu imperial city, so he decided to come try his luck.

He just didn't expect that he would actually encounter Miss Duanmu!

At this moment, he was filled with resentment toward his own Master.

He was convinced that it was his Master, in order to monopolize the treasure, who secretly harmed him, causing him to fall to his current state.

"Big Brother, how are your injuries?"

Although Miss Duanmu had been struck and injured internally, her whole body in excruciating pain, she nearly fainted.

Yet she still remained concerned about Hearing Gai Nie, worried about his safety.

And Hearing Gai Nie just smiled and shook his head:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Rather, it's you who needs timely recuperation!"

As he spoke, Hearing Gai Nie placed a medicinal pill into Miss Duanmu's mouth, stopping the bleeding for her.

Afterwards, he brought Miss Duanmu to the medical clinic in the town.

"Physician, quickly treat my sister's injuries!"

Miss Duanmu's injuries were quite serious; even though he was a cultivator, he could not take it lightly.

And that Physician, upon seeing Hearing Gai Nie, immediately widened his eyes in shock, as if seeing a ghost, and stood there stunned.

"Gai… Gai Nie!"

"How could you be here?"

"That's not right! Aren't you already…"

This Physician's voice suddenly stopped, as if realizing something, his face shifting unpredictably.

Hearing Gai Nie frowned slightly and said lightly:

"Since we can both live again, there is nothing in this world that can trap us anymore!"

A physician's heart is benevolent, but he is, after all, a Physician.

In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, there is no need to risk saving people.

1077: A Million Mighty Lions

After Hearing Gai Nie handed Miss Duanmu over to the Physician, he let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and left.

Miss Duanmu's body recovered very quickly.

In just one night, she could barely walk.

"Brother, Rongr's injuries are mostly healed, let's head to the capital now!"

Miss Duanmu's injuries were not considered particularly serious.

As long as she took some healing medicine, within three to five days, she could fully recover.

However, Hearing Gai Nie refused.

"Rongr, our enemy now is Li Shimin.

If you rush to the capital now, you'll just be walking into the tiger's den."

Li Shimin, as the Princess of the Shu Kingdom, holds significant power, controls great authority, and exerts pressure in all directions.

No matter how high his Wu Gong is, he is fundamentally unable to withstand that army of a million mighty lions.

Moreover, Li Shimin and Tong Xiangyu were both peerless martial arts experts of the Great Tang.

With the two of them joining forces, even if Hearing Gai Nie had Master Tongtian's methods, he could not possibly win.

"Big Brother! Then… then what should we do?"

Miss Duanmu was suddenly flustered.

She had just gone through a life-and-death crisis, and her mind was rapidly changing.

The her of now was no longer that decisive, cold, and ruthless Miss Duanmu!

"Rongrong, for now we only have two paths we can take.

Either, we continue staying in this small town.

Or…"

A cold glint flickered in Hearing Gai Nie's eyes as he said coldly:

"We go to seek refuge with Li Yuan and seize the Dragon Vein!"

"What? You mean…"

Miss Duanmu's delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful face instantly turning deathly pale!

"That's right, we are going to take the Li Clan!"

A fierce killing intent erupted in Hearing Gai Nie's eyes.

He had once seen, in the Dali Imperial Palace, Li Yuanhao stealing treasures from the imperial tomb.

If the Li imperial clan truly possessed the legendary Dragon Vein, then everything could be explained clearly.

The Dragon Vein was the foundation of whether an ancient dynasty would prosper or not.

The Li Clan's ability to stand firm in the Great Tang dynasty for hundreds of years relied entirely on the Dragon Vein!

"The Li Clan is the pillar of our Great Tang. If they are willing, we will join them, assist them, and together overthrow Qin Huang's regime!"

Hearing Gai Nie said up to here, then suddenly asked:

"Rongrong, what do you think about this matter?"

Hearing these words, Miss Duanmu lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

She raised her pretty face, her eyes filled with resolve.

"Rongrong will follow Big Brother's instructions."

Hearing these words, Hearing Gai Nie nodded lightly.
