Chapter 159 Gamble

The Ao Xue Sect didn’t exactly treat the three of us with courtesy, but they didn’t make things difficult either. They locked us in an empty room without beds or tables, posted a few guards outside the door, and then ignored us.

After sitting down, I began to transmit my voice to the other two. Feng Ruoxing frowned and said, "Are you saying that someone in the Ao Xue Sect deliberately let us take the Heavenly Decree?"

I nodded slightly, "Moreover, that person knew we were coming to take the Heavenly Decree and made thorough preparations."

"Old Liu stalling the first group of Ao Xue Sect disciples was his arrangement. The fact that the second group of disciples was so quickly transferred to Qin Village must have been due to someone secretly planning it."

"That person's status in the Ao Xue Sect is probably not low! When I jumped down from that stone pillar, I took a special look at it. There was an extra hole in the pillar, exactly the size of the Heavenly Decree."

"That person not only gave me the Heavenly Decree, but also gave me a reasonable reason to obtain it. Because the real Heavenly Decree is still hidden in that pillar."

"Everyone will think that I obtained the Heavenly Decree by chance, and that person will naturally hide himself."

Feng Ruoxing said, "The Heavenly Decree reminds me of someone."

"Are you talking about Zero?" I looked at Feng Ruoxing and said, "This time, the Ao Xue Sect used Qin Village as an excuse to make things difficult, which was already suspicious. When someone was fueling the flames in the dark, I should have realized that someone was setting up a trap."

"At that time, I was weighing the strength of both sides. Zhao Ci happened to send information about the Ta Tian Men (Stepping Heaven Gate)."

"The Ta Tian Men became our only way to break the situation."

"Zhao Ci, has he defected to Nan Weiyang?" Feng Ruoxing's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.

Feng Ruoxing brought us to help Zhao Ci, but we stepped through the Ta Tian Men because of Zhao Ci's information. Feng Ruoxing naturally couldn't hold his face.

I comforted him, "It may not be that Zhao Ci has defected to Nan Weiyang. Zero is skilled in calculation, maybe Zhao Ci's information was also deliberately provided by Zero."

I said with a wry smile, "Although Zero tricked us into stepping through the Ta Tian Men, he may be helping us solve the problem."

Ye Yang said with a straight face, "Lust makes people stupid!"

If I wasn't still sitting in the Ao Xue Sect, I would have jumped up and torn Ye Yang's mouth apart. This guy is too hateful, he either doesn't speak, or when he does, he stuffs bricks into people's mouths.

Feng Ruoxing was afraid that Ye Yang and I would fight, so he quickly changed the subject: "Who do you think gave Li Po the Heavenly Decree Golden Book?"

Ye Yang glared at me without saying a word, and I could only suppress my anger and say, "The scope won't exceed four people. The sect master and the three old men. The person who gave me the Heavenly Decree must be among them."

I said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the higher-ups of the Ao Xue Sect will soon have a dispute over the Heavenly Decree, and this dispute will result in death."

I said in a deep voice, "Let's wait and see! The secret of the Heavenly Decree is probably coming soon!"

As I guessed, the next day at noon, I heard someone shouting outside: "You believe in the Heavenly Decree, I don't believe it."

"The Ao Xue Sect is one of the three major sects in the Northeast, and it has continued for hundreds of years, which is an indisputable fact. For the sake of a mere legend, you hand over the face of the sect to a few junior art practitioners, have your brains been eaten by dogs?"

I had heard that person's voice before, he was the old man who advocated killing me last night.

The person who was scolded by the old man was either the sect master of the Ao Xue Sect, or someone of his generation.

After scolding for a while, the old man was still not satisfied: "Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if those juniors break through the Ta Tian Men, do we, the dignified Ao Xue Sect, still have to worship a few Jianghu (martial world) practitioners as our masters?"

"You can afford to lose this face, but I still have this old face to meet people."

"Ao Xue Sect disciples, those who are unwilling to suffer this humiliation, follow me to kill those Jianghu practitioners and set things right."

I glanced out of the window and saw an old man with white hair and beard leading dozens of Ao Xue Sect disciples, striding forward with an imposing manner.

My mind raced, and I quietly gave Ye Yang a hand gesture. The latter understood and imperceptibly pushed Feng Ruoxing to a relatively safe position.

Now, I want to gamble on a legend.

If the legend comes true, all problems will be solved.

If the legend is false, we have to break through the siege at the risk of our lives. What I meant just now was to let Ye Yang protect Feng Ruoxing and leave first.

The Ao Xue Sect elder suddenly drew his sword a hundred meters away from the guest room. The disciples behind him all unsheathed their swords, and the shimmering sword light formed a silver tide, sweeping horizontally half a foot above the ground.

After the Ao Xue Sect advanced another fifty meters, the momentum of the swordsmen soared like fire. Before the crowd arrived, the killing intent had already arrived. The doors and windows of the guest room trembled violently under the pressure of the invisible momentum, and could explode at any time.

I withdrew the Nine-Ring Life-Slaying Blade from my back, held the long blade diagonally, stepped out of the door, and stood alone outside the door, blocking the way. My aura rose steadily, and I used my own strength to resist the pressure from dozens of swordsmen. Although I couldn't hold my own, I didn't give way at all.

The white-haired old man sneered and raised his voice: "Although you are a nobody in the Jianghu, you have some courage. I, the old man, will grant you death today. If you do it yourself, I can leave you with a whole corpse."
