Chapter 449

Saying this, he ran off without looking back.

Not long after, laughter came from the woods in the distance.

"That Ye Gucheng, next time I must give him a slightly harder mission!"

Li Taibai's brow twitched wildly. Suppressing his temper, he looked at Chimeng,

"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about that for now. What business do you have with the Great Dragon Head?"

"Well, I can only say it after I see the Great Dragon Head…"

Chimeng did not answer directly.

"Telling me is the same thing…"

Li Taibai was getting a bit stubborn now,

"Although compared to the Great Dragon Head, I still have some gap."

"But there aren't many things in this world that can stump me, Li Taibai."

In his heart, he couldn't help adding a line,

"This little miss came too late. If she'd arrived earlier and seen me slay a thousand experts with one sword, she'd have become my little fangirl by now."

"Damn it! Why did I miss it exactly…"

"Really?"

Chimeng blinked her big eyes, her hands excitedly placed in front of her,

"You really can help me? Rescue my daddy?"

"Your daddy? What happened to him?"

So it's a rescue mission — that's a trivial matter!

How could such a trivial matter trouble the Great Dragon Head?

"It's like this!"

"My daddy is over at the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the head of the Miao Territory's Myriad Poison Cave."

"But you see, my second uncle betrayed my daddy."

"Now my daddy has been imprisoned."

"Before, I heard people say the Central Plains have many experts."

"For example, that Buliang Shuai, he could rescue my daddy."

"But after coming to the Central Plains, I realized the Great Dragon Head is even more powerful."

"Oh right, compared to Buliang Shuai, which of you is stronger?"

Chimeng opened You Huaxia, rattling on endlessly, and finally asked a question.

"Buliang Shuai? Who's that?"

Li Taibai was dumbfounded. With such a domineering title, how had he never heard of it?

"Yuan Tiangang!"

Chimeng shouted out Buliang Shuai's name.

"This…"

Li Taibai was speechless again.

Little girl, don't be too ridiculous, alright!

Yuan Tiangang was killed by Guichen, an altar master of the Qinglong Society!

Someone Guichen can kill — is he qualified to be compared with me?

But Li Taibai really couldn't be bothered to explain!

"Alright, alright, don't worry. What bullsh*t Myriad Poison Cave — once I step in, I'll definitely rescue your daddy for you."

Li Taibai couldn't be bothered to explain too much, thumping his chest in assurance.

"Really? Then come with me."

Chimeng was overjoyed, and grabbed Li Taibai's hand in one motion.

A beautiful young girl whose looks far surpassed even Mu Wanqing's, holding Li Taibai's hand.

This made Li Taibai's brain short-circuit a little.

His body didn't obey his commands either, and followed Chimeng down the mountain.

"I say, are we really not going to bother about the Fifth Dragon Head?"

Yan Shisan, watching Li Taibai's distracted look, asked Ye Gucheng beside him.

"Matters of the Fifth Dragon Head — how could we meddle in them?"

"Besides, some bullsh*t Myriad Poison Cave — how big a deal could it be for him?"

"Can it withstand that one sword?"

Ye Gucheng truly felt the name of his ultimate move should be given to Li Taibai.

After all, that one sword alone could be called a Sword Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

"Good! Then let's continue guarding Wu Dangpai well."

"But do we not need to worry about the north?"

Yan Shisan raised his head thoughtfully, looking northward.

That was where the Great Ming's Jingcheng lay.

Now, the Ten Great Generals were leading the Nine Northern Armies, together with Zhu Wushi, marching on Jingcheng to force the emperor to abdicate.

"Don't worry! Isn't Di Shitian already gone?"

The Qinglong Society was full of experts — people like Ye Gucheng and Yan Shisan, there were three hundred and sixty-five of them!

So Ye Gucheng wasn't worried in the slightest that Zhu Wushi could actually succeed in usurping the throne.

Only they didn't know that this time Zhu Wushi had gained many backers behind him.

And with the border army in hand, his momentum was extremely fierce.

In just two days, he had uprooted every satellite city near the Great Ming capital.

Three hundred thousand troops had, one after another, closed in beneath the Great Ming capital.

Standing atop the walls of the Great Ming capital, looking down.

One felt that all the way to the edge of the horizon, there was nothing but enemies, endless as far as the eye could see.

"Cao Zhengchun! Is there any word from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Western Depot?"

The Wang Shizi's face was extremely ugly; within the capital now, fewer than ten thousand troops remained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, word has finally come—the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Western Depot, and the Grand Palace Secret Agents have all been wiped out."

"Only Lu Xiaofeng escaped with his life."

Cao Zhengchun's brow twitched; fortunately, back then he had stayed behind for Zhu Wushi's sake.

Otherwise, he himself would likely have ended up with his head separated from his body.

"What about Wu Dangpai?"

The Wang Shizi paid no heed at all to the losses among his own men; his first reaction was to the safety of Wu Dangpai.

"The specific situation is unclear!"

Cao Zhengchun sighed,

"According to spy reports, those five thousand men have already surrounded Mount Wudang so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through."

"Two groups of Qinglong Society assassins appeared, trying to go up the mountain to rescue Wu Dangpai."

"But they too were scattered by the experts among those men!"

"Have these people gone mad?"

The Wang Shizi's face was full of disbelief.

Going after Wu Dangpai was one thing—but these people actually dared to ambush and kill Qinglong Society assassins?

Don't they know that the Qinglong Society's retaliation is the swiftest, and the cruelest?

Killing one person of the Qinglong Society probably costs a hundred lives to make up for it!

"This servant does not know…"

Cao Zhengchun was also at a loss for words; he never expected the Qinglong Society to have such a day.

282-Are you even worthy?

Just as the Wang Shizi and Cao Zhengchun were conversing on the city tower.
