Chapter 172: 31 Doors? Li Muxuan?!
"See? This is our trump card." President Ishikawa waved his finger lightly, pointing at Master Li, his tone full of confidence, "Master Li is a master. If you dare to make a move, he will definitely not let you go."
Everyone's hearts tightened when they heard this. They knew that President Ishikawa was always cunning, and since he dared to bring up Taoist Li this time, it showed that Taoist Li's strength was indeed extraordinary.
Many people began to secretly think that if a fight really broke out, they might not be the opponent.
Zhuge Qing stood in the crowd with a frown on his face.
He didn't want to be an enemy of Taoist Li.
He had only one goal, which was to find Li Qiankun and rescue his trapped companions. So he took a deep breath and took a step forward.
"Master Li, we don't want to be your enemy."
Zhuge Qing's voice was clear, "We just want to find Li Qiankun, and we hope you can give us a favor."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Li glanced at Zhuge Qing indifferently, as if he was looking at an insignificant little person.
His voice was calm and indifferent: "Respect is earned by oneself, not given by others. If you want to find Li Qiankun, you must show sufficient strength. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhuge Qing's heart sank, but he did not give up.
He understood that to deal with such a master, he must show enough sincerity and strength.
So he spoke again, trying to persuade Taoist Li.
However, Taoist Priest Li had obviously lost his patience.
He waved his sleeve lightly, and an invisible force interrupted Zhuge Qing's words.
Then he turned around and ignored Zhuge Qing and the others.
At this time, Wang also stepped forward, bowed and asked: "Master, may I ask who you are?" There was a hint of respect and curiosity in his tone. After all, to be able to become President Ishikawa's trump card, Master Li's strength must be extraordinary.
Taoist Priest Li turned around, glanced at Wang Ye, and said lightly: "I am just an unknown person, not worth mentioning." His tone was full of humility and indifference, as if he was really just an ordinary Taoist priest.
However, Wang did not give up.
He continued to ask, "Why would the Taoist priest help the Japanese here?" There was a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his tone. After all, the Japanese and China have a deep historical grievance.
Taoist Priest Li laughed as if he had heard something funny.
He said, "I have my own reasons for doing things. As for the Japanese, I don't agree with their actions, but I won't stop them. After all, everyone has their own choices and positions."
Wang Ye's heart sank slightly when he heard this. He understood that although Taoist Li seemed indifferent to fame and fortune, he actually had his own persistence and principles in his heart.
People like this are often the most difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Zhang Chulan suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Master, we must go to rescue Li Qiankun, please get out of the way!" His voice was extremely tough, as if he was ready to fight.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Li raised his eyebrows and took a step forward.
A sharp aura instantly emanated from his body, like an invisible sword pointing directly at Zhang Chulan and others.
His voice also became cold and resolute: "I said, I am preparing for the ceremony and have no time to spare. If you want to pass, you will have to step over my dead body!"
Zhang Chulan's heart sank at the sight. He understood that Daoist Master Li's strength was truly extraordinary, and that he and his companions would likely struggle to match him. However, he didn't give up. He took a deep breath and prepared to charge forward.
At this moment, Zhuge Qing suddenly made a move. He summoned vines that coiled around Taoist Li like a long snake.
Restrain the enemy's movements.
However, facing a master like Taoist Li, his vines seemed so fragile.
Taoist Li waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force instantly turned the vines into ashes.
Zhuge Qing's expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps back, his eyes filled with fear. He had never seen such a powerful enemy before, as if Taoist Li was an invincible myth.
"What a strong strength!" Lu Linglong exclaimed.
She walked out of the crowd, looked at Taoist Li and said, "Master, do you know my grandfather Lu Jing?" There was a hint of expectation and respect in her tone. After all, Lu Jing was a leading figure in the Chinese martial arts world. If Taoist Li really knew him, perhaps he could find some breakthroughs.
When Taoist Priest Li heard the name, a strange look flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "I don't know any Lu Jing." His tone was filled with indifference and alienation, as if he really had no connection with Lu Jing.
Lu Linglong's doubts grew even more intense upon hearing this. Based on her grandfather's account, she had suspected that Taoist Li might have some connection to the Lu family. However, it now appeared that this suspicion was unfounded.
At this moment, Wang Ye suddenly spoke: "Master, are you... from the Trinity Sect?" There was a hint of temptation and curiosity in his tone. After all, the Trinity Sect was a mysterious sect in the alien world, and it was said to possess powerful strength and secret techniques.
As soon as these words came out, Taoist Li's expression changed instantly.
He glared at Wang Ye and shouted, "Shut up! How dare you mention Trinity Sect!" His voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if his reverse scale had been touched.
Wang was also surprised by Master Li's reaction. He hadn't expected that his casual mention of the Trinity Sect would make Master Li so excited. He quickly explained, "Master, calm down. I was just saying it casually."
If there is any offense, please forgive me."
However, this didn't quell Master Li's anger. He continued, "The Trinity Sect is a thing of the past. Why are you still talking about it? Are you courting death?" His tone was filled with threats and murderous intent, as if he truly intended to put Wang Ye and the others to death.
Lu Linglong stood aside, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She hadn't expected that Taoist Priest Li would be so secretive about the Trinity Sect. She remembered her grandfather had mentioned the name Li Muxuan, saying he was a genius disciple of the Trinity Sect, who had dazzled countless elders.
Could it be that... this Taoist Priest Li is Li Muxuan?
Thinking of this, Lu Linglong couldn't help but gasp.
She understood that if Taoist Li was really Li Muxuan, then they would be in big trouble.
After all, Li Muxuan is known as a genius that appears once in a thousand years in the world of extraordinary people. His strength and methods are unfathomable.
"Are you Li Muxuan?" Lu Linglong finally couldn't help but ask.
There was a tremor and awe in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Li's body trembled slightly.
He didn't expect that Lu Linglong would recognize him.
However, he quickly regained his composure and said lightly: "You have the wrong person. I am just an unknown person, not worth mentioning." His tone was full of indifference and alienation, as if he really had nothing to do with Lu Linglong.
However, Lu Linglong noticed a subtle fluctuation in his eyes.
She understood that Taoist Li did not lie, but he did not deny his identity either.
This subtle reaction made her even more certain that this Taoist Master Li was Li Muxuan.
Recalling the story of Li Muxuan that her grandfather had told her, Lu Linglong couldn't help but feel awe.
She understood that the opponent she and others encountered this time was no small matter.
If you want to rescue Li Qiankun, you must make greater efforts and pay a greater price.
"Master, we have no intention of offending you." Lu Linglong took a deep breath, trying to calm Master Li's anger. "We just want to find Li Qiankun and rescue our companions. If you could be so kind as to let us pass, we would be extremely grateful."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Li was silent for a while.
He seemed to be contemplating some important decision. However, he ultimately shook his head and said, "I've already said I'm currently preparing for the ceremony and have no time for anything else. If you want to get through, you'll have to step over my corpse."
