This sudden turn of events was beyond Gongsun Mu's expectations. He didn't know who had saved his life. Liu'er was already on alert and knew that the two men from last night had arrived. Searching the ground, he discovered that the concealed weapon was a small piece of broken tile. He assumed that the two of them were hiding on top of the courtyard wall, searching for an opportunity to make their move. He thought, "The black blade is very deep underground. This person can use only a tile to move the blade. His strength must be extraordinary." This person's martial arts seems to be no weaker than mine, I wonder if he is an enemy or a friend. " Before he could recover, a person rushed over with a ruler in his right hand. There was a book in front of him. It was none other than the scholar he had met last night, Song Dali.

Gongsun Mu and the others were surprised, but they couldn't figure out who this person was. However, seeing how powerful he was, he thought he might be able to chase away that evil star, Liu'er. He forced a smile and asked: "I haven't had much contact with the Jianghu in recent years, how could I have offended you? There had to be some kind of misunderstanding. Excuse me, but may I ask who you are? " Song Dali snorted and before he could reply, he heard someone laugh outside the door: "Mr. Song, why don't you listen to what this poor man has to say and insist on taking action? Must I kill him myself to vent my anger? " In the midst of his words, a person had already floated down to the sky well. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked into the hall with a smile as if a deity had descended.

When Gongsun Mu saw him, he was both happy and surprised. "Isn't this Taoist Tongchuan?" he thought to himself. Why did he come to White Pond Town? From his words, it seemed that he was very familiar with this gentleman. This mister initially said that I ruined his plans, but the youth surnamed Ye said that I was deceived by him. Could it be that he really wanted to deceive my Gongsun family's money? Who was this youth surnamed Ye? How do you know about their plot? Are they in the same group? " The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. His back clothes had already been drenched in cold sweat. It didn't matter if these three were in the same group or not, they were all here to take his life. However, he still had a sliver of hope and happily said to Daoist Three Clans, "Dao leader Tongchuan, it has been half a year since we last met, but you wish this old one well! How are you? "

Daoist Three Paths did not answer and instead walked to Song Dali's side with a smile. Song Dali looked at him doubtfully and asked: "Dao leader Tongchuan? "Is there any way to change the Daoist's name?" Daoist Three Paths smiled. Before he could reply, Song Dali spoke again, "Ah! I understand! You are afraid that others will hear of Daoist Sanpang and no one will think of you as a martial artist and ruin my plan. Then, the name shall be reversed, and the name shall be changed from horizontal to vertical, and you shall become a Taoist. " Daoist Three Paths laughed, "Mr. Song is familiar with poetry. He is indeed smarter than others."

Gongsun Mu was stunned. He blurted out, "Daoist San Tong? You are a demon that killed people in the Western Regions and is known as the 'Thousand Faces Butcher'. Daoist Three Paths's expression did not change as he said with a face full of smiles, "I never thought that even people in the Central Plains would know my name. I am truly terrified." Gongsun Mu's body trembled as his eyes widened, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying.

Liu'er frowned, and thought to herself: "The Western Regions are murderous demons?" Wasn't he the gentleman that was hidden within the Immortal Crocodile Manor? "Why is it this old Taoist in front of us?" In truth, Liu'er didn't know that a gentleman was indeed a devil, while a thousand-face butcher, Daoist Three Paths, was also a devil. The other was Madam Ling, the wife of Eunuch Wei. The two were collectively known as the "Ling Wei couple".

This Daoist Three Directions was called the "Thousand Faces Butcher", and the so-called "Thousand Faces Butcher" was rumored to be someone who was proficient in a hundred different types of martial arts, especially the appearance changing technique. The methods of the people he'd killed were all different, and it was impossible to deduce them based on their martial dao and appearance. The meaning of the "butcher" was the same. It was that the people he killed were definitely dismembered by the blood, and they were chopped into pieces. Their death appearances were truly frightening and pitiful. Its Daoist name was' Three Paths', and it implied that it was connected to the heavens, the earth, and the human world. It meant that it was extremely powerful and had great martial arts skills.

Gong Sun Mu would never have thought that such a murderous demon would be able to find him. After hesitating for a bit, he said, "Daoist San Tong? Are you really Daoist Three Paths? Why did you come to the Central Plains? And why did they come to this small White Pond Town? " Daoist Three Paths withdrew his smile, slightly creasing his brow, and said, "Master Gongsun has many questions, but this humble one is unable to answer them." However, this Penniless Priest feels that the question that you need to ask the most right now is, who will you die to today? " Gongsun Mu's body trembled and he asked, "What did Taoist San Tong say?" "But half a year ago, you were staying in my manor for a few days, and I offended you?" Daoist Three Paths said with a laugh, "In the few days that I lived here, Lord Gongsun took good care of me. How could I possibly offend him?"

When Gongsun Mu heard this, he became even more worried. However, he still forced a smile and said, "Then why is Taoist Sanlang making such a big joke of me?" Daoist Three Paths laughed and said, "I presume that Lord Gongsun does not know that this humble Daoist knows everything except for joking." Gongsun Mu's entire body shook. He knew that what he said was true. In the midst of his fear, his heart had long since cooled down. He bitterly smiled and said, "I never thought that I would be able to provoke someone like Daoist Three Paths." Daoist Three Paths sneered, "The person who invited me here wasn't you, Lord Gongsun, but your money." Next to him, Song Dazhang interjected, "Not at all! The person that the silver did not provoke is General Shi. " Daoist Three Paths laughed loudly and said, "That's right! It was still Mr. Song who spoke cautiously. This Penniless Priest doesn't want gold or silver. "

The two of them smiled in a ghostly manner and then looked at Gongsun Mu, who was lying on the ground. Seeing that Liu'er had cut off half of his beard and bullied him by the other two, and that his forehead had not dried up yet, he was in a sorry state. After a moment of hesitation, he looked towards Liu'er. Daoist Three Paths squinted his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Song, who do you think this young man is? Is he here to steal money or to seek justice? " Song Dali sized up Liu'er and saw that he was dressed extravagantly. There was a threatening air of heroism between his eyebrows, and his breathing was thin and well-proportioned. He was slightly surprised. "He's so young and yet so skilled!" He then glanced at the black blade that was inserted into the ground and recognized that it was the Thunderclap Saber. He then thought, "When did the Ten Thousand Horse Gang have such a character?" With doubts in his heart, he did not answer Daoist Sanshu's question. Instead, he asked Liu'er, "How did you obtain this blade?"

Liu'er was secretly shocked as she thought, "What sharp eyes!" With a single glance, he knew that the knife was not mine. " Thinking about it, this blade was entrusted to him by Lei Zhenyu before his death, although it cannot be said that he was forcibly taken it away, but because of it, Lei Zhenyu died, with twists and turns in the middle, he could not say anything clearly, so he could only say, "This … It's my knife. "

Song Dali slightly moved his ruler and nodded. He said to Daoist Three Paths, "Dao leader, in my opinion, it is no longer important what this person's goal is. Since he has committed the crime of certain death, why don't we kill him together?" Daoist Three Paths saw Liu'er frown and smiled, "Young Benefactor must not know what crime you have committed, right?" Mr. Song was a gifted scholar, so he must have his reasons for what he said. Therefore, others could not question his words. He said that this blade was not yours, yet you said that you had committed a heinous crime and deserved to die! "

Liu'er was surprised at first, but when she heard the news, she became furious and thought to herself, "Could it be that you are the emperor?" Whatever you say is what you say? To want my life like this, is just too barbaric! " He had felt from their first meeting last night that they did not look like good people, and now he no longer had any doubts. Liu'er stood shoulder-to-shoulder, with her head held high and chest puffed up, and said sternly: "My life depends on you! It is not up to the two of you to decide whether to die or not! "
