Chapter 159 Senior Brother
March 1944, 2.
The climate was still a bit cold, and the dry and cold weather in Guanzhong made Li Muxuan feel a little uncomfortable.
He was wearing only a single layer of clothing and left with a serious expression.
After leaving the Qinling Twenty-Four Sections Valley, everyone embarked on the road home alone. However, what these thirty-six people did not expect was that many of them could no longer go back.
"No roots."
Taking a deep breath, Li Muxuan murmured, his eyes a little dazed and complicated for a moment.
He had never expected that the other party would actually invite him and others to do something like that. Even now when he recalled it, he was still shocked.
"Baby Feng."
"Your daughter?"
Speaking softly, Li Muxuan walked away.
There were no ups and downs or unexpected discoveries along the way. He traveled smoothly and in just half a month, he had reached Jiangxi.
After entering the city, Li Muxuan went straight to an inn.
After ordering a cup of tea, he quietly listened to the conversations of the people around him. But after a moment, his expression changed.
"Hey, have you heard? The thirty-six thieves have made quite a big fuss this time!"
"It's really unexpected. These guys from famous and upright sects have actually sworn brotherhood with the all-powerful demon Wu Gensheng?"
"What a famous and upright sect, now they are just the thirty-six thieves that everyone wants to kill! Thirty-six thieves!"
"However, news has leaked out that among these thirty-six people, eight have realized unparalleled skills that are comparable to the unique skills of the major sects."
"What's the point? Is it our turn? Now all the major sects have reached a consensus to join forces to encircle and suppress these thirty-six thieves."
"As of the past few days, several people have been killed. The others are hiding, and I'm afraid they won't have a good ending!"
"Where is Wu Gensheng?"
"Who knows? He has already disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown!"
"..."
Li Muxuan's expression changed slightly. He slowly drank the tea that was at his mouth, then quickly stood up again.
What he didn't expect was that the thirty-six sworn brothers were actually regarded as thirty-six thieves in the alien world today.
What's more, someone had already been killed, which was undoubtedly a shocking result for him.
Subconsciously, Li Muxuan had a bad feeling.
"Am I considered a thief?"
"The other thirty-five brothers have all been put in danger and are being surrounded and attacked by various sects?"
"So, what about Trinity Gate?"
"Can I still go back?"
For a moment, Li Muxuan's face changed and he was hesitant.
This time the matter has obviously become a big deal. The list of thirty-six people who formed sworn brotherhood among the twenty-four valleys has been leaked, and some people have even come to their door and killed some of them.
To Li Muxuan's surprise, he was quite quiet along the way and did not encounter any danger.
Five more days passed.
Li Muxuan entered Fujian, and on that day, he heard the news that Tian Jinzhong of Tianshi Mansion met with Zhang Huaiyi, but eventually suffered a disaster.
This made his heart tremble. Even the top disciples of Tianshi Mansion were treated like this?
"Go down the mountain and head to the Twenty-Four Section Valley. It was all my choice!"
"I can't bring this disaster to the inside."
Li Muxuan saw his true nature and made a decision in an instant.
But on the second day, his way was blocked by two figures.
"Lu Jin, Senior Brother Cheng Zhen?"
Li Muxuan was stunned to find that the people blocking his way were none other than his fellow disciples in the sect.
For a moment, his expression became complicated.
He didn't know what the purpose of the two people coming here was, but he could imagine that it was related to the Twenty-Four Valleys and Thirty-Six Thieves.
"Where did you go?"
"It took so long that we had to come down the mountain to find you?"
Cheng Zhen asked in a deep voice.
"what?"
Li Muxuan was stunned and didn't react.
"Brother asked where you were? Did you finish the task assigned to you?"
"Those medicinal herbs are related to my master's recovery."
Lu Jin rolled his eyes and shouted.
"Medicinal herbs?" "Ah, I have collected them all. They are all here."
Li Muxuan finally reacted and quickly took off the bag behind him and showed it to the two of them.
Cheng Zhen's expression eased a little, and there was a hint of blame in his tone: "I asked you to go down the mountain, not to let you play around. You have been here for such a long time, and the brothers and sisters in the sect are very worried."
"If it weren't for the mutual intuition among the disciples during their practice of the Changsheng Sutra, it would have been really difficult for us to find you!"
Lu Jin said with a smile.
Li Muxuan's expression relaxed and his mood calmed down a little.
It seems that people inside the sect don't know about the thirty-six thieves and the twenty-four valleys.
Yes, the Sanyi Sect had already closed its gates, and outsiders could not get in. The people inside the sect could not go out unless they had something to do.
"How is it? Is everything okay?"
Cheng Zhen walked over and asked.
"No, no, there is."
Li Muxuan was about to shake his head, but then nodded.
Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen looked at him with confusion in their eyes.
"If you have something to say, just tell me. I hope you haven't caused any trouble again."
Lu Jin asked with a smile.
"There is one thing."
Li Muxuan sighed.
"Let's talk as we walk!"
Cheng Zhen spoke.
All three of them were in disguise and headed towards the Trinity Gate.
The sect has closed the mountain, so they are extremely careful when going out.
Two days later, Cheng Zhen frowned.
"It seems that the trouble you caused this time is indeed not small. There is someone following you all the way."
"But they didn't make any other moves. It seemed that they were just observing you."
Li Muxuan was startled when he heard this: "Observation?"
"Haha, I don't believe they dare to attack the Trinity Sect!"
"What's more, I, the Sanyi Sect, have not heard of the consensus reached by these sects."
Lu Jin sneered and didn't care.
"We are just closing the mountain, we are not dead. The leader killed these guys a few years ago, and none of them dared to make a sound."
"How many of them can afford the price of angering our Trinity Sect?"
Li Muxuan nodded after hearing this.
"Don't worry, you don't need to care about what's happening outside the door. What you should worry about now is how to explain to your Uncle Si Chong when you return!"
"I think he should have received the message by now."
Cheng Zhen patted Li Muxuan's shoulder.
"Uh~"
Li Muxuan lowered his head and his expression changed slightly.
After the two of them had given him advice, he finally felt relieved. As expected, the people in the sect didn't care about his sworn brotherhood.
People from the same clan will naturally be on one's side.
The only thing I worry about is the punishment from my elders and the jokes from my fellow apprentices.
Thinking of this, Li Muxuan turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhen and Lu Jin in front of him.
The two of them had a half-smile on their faces, as if they were expecting something.
In an instant, black lines appeared on Li Muxuan's forehead.
Well, these two guys are already gloating over other people’s misfortune.
"Go back quickly."
"I can't wait to see what kind of punishment this brat Li Muxuan will receive!"
"Hehe, he mixed with Wu Gensheng without saying a word, and became one of the thirty-six thieves!"
"You are the first among my three sects. Great! So great!"
Lu Jin couldn't stop laughing.
Li Muxuan's face turned even darker.
After a few days, the three of them returned safely.
