Poules et chiens volent dans le chaos et la renaissance - Chapitre 80
That clear and enchanting voice gradually drew everyone's attention back to the present moment, and all that could be heard was the sound of people gasping for breath, as they had been holding their breath for too long.
Ning Lang lowered his head in disappointment and dejection.
Yuwen Luo clapped his hands and sighed, "Seventh Young Master, you don't need martial arts at all. Just this beauty is enough to captivate and kill!"
“Even demons cannot bewitch people as much as he is.” Qiu Hengbo sighed softly.
“If she were truly a man, what woman would dare to marry her?” Hua Fushu sighed.
“This will be the most powerful leader of the Sui Cult,” Sui Qingchen said softly.
For a fleeting moment, Yun Wuyai was also momentarily distracted. When he came to his senses, looking at the incomparably beautiful and alluring man before him, he said, "What Seventh Young Master means is that you are a man now, but who knows what might happen next?"
"Hehe..." Lan Qi did not answer, but her captivating laughter once again made everyone feel dazed.
Just then, steady footsteps came from inside the stone gate, and then two people stepped out.
Lan Qi swiftly closed her jade fan and turned to look.
At this moment, everyone finally snapped out of their daze.
As Qu Huailiu stepped out the door, he saw Wan Ai's face was flushed. He looked at him in surprise, but to his surprise, Wan Ai's face turned even redder.
"Brother Lie, it's been a long time. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be doing quite well." Lan Qi looked at Lie Chifeng with a smile.
Everyone looked up at the corridor and immediately agreed with Lan Qi's words.
Lie Chifeng appeared impeccably dressed, his posture upright and sturdy, his spirit clear and bright, showing no signs of fatigue. Even more striking was the presence of his sword at his waist, making him appear exactly as he always had been. For a moment, everyone was puzzled; why was he acting so differently?
Lie Chifeng, standing in the corridor, showed no surprise at seeing so many people, but coldly asked, "Why did you call me here?"
“Brother Lie, it is Seventh Young Master who wants to see you,” Yun Wuyai said calmly from the side.
Brother Lie? Upon hearing this form of address, everyone became suspicious again.
Lie Chifeng turned his gaze to Lan Qi and said, "Are you willing to go all out in a match with me?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qi looked helplessly at Ming Er.
Ming Er stepped forward and said with a gentle smile, "Brother Lie, we haven't seen you for a long time and wanted to know if you were safe, so we invited you here."
Lie Chifeng raised his palm and slapped it, and a large rock a few feet away in front of the corridor shattered into pieces.
Looking at Ming Er, Lie Chifeng's eyes were very serious. He said, "Very well, I am ready to fight you at any time."
“That’s excellent.” Ming Er smiled with elegance and sincerity. “But I wonder why Young Master Yun treats Brother Lie with such special favor?”
“That’s because Brother Lie doesn’t oppose Dongming replacing the dynasty,” Yun Wuyai replied.
"Oh?" Ming Er glanced at Yun Wuyai, then at Lie Chifeng, seemingly waiting for his answer, but his expression showed no surprise.
Despite the many surprising things that had happened today, everyone was still stunned, staring at Lie Chifeng for a long time without him saying anything in rebuttal. Suddenly, they burst into shouts like boiling water.
"Great Hero Lie, how could you do this!" someone cried out in anguish.
"Traitor!" someone couldn't help but curse.
You've completely disgraced the martial arts world of the imperial dynasty!
"How could the imperial court have such a spineless person like you!"
…………
…………
He started yelling and cursing, one sentence after another.
Lie Chifeng looked at the crowd below without any expression. After a long while, he said, "What does the imperial dynasty have to do with me?"
Huh? Everyone thought they had misheard and fell silent for a moment.
"What do I care about the martial arts world of the imperial dynasty?" Lie Chifeng said coldly and clearly.
The room fell silent; everyone stared at him with wide eyes.
"Does the great hero Lie not consider himself a part of the martial arts world of his own dynasty?" Jin Quelou asked.
Lie Chifeng glanced at the Golden Palace Tower, his gaze sharp and cold, like the edge of a knife.
"The Imperial Martial World is the Imperial Martial World, and I am me."
"What...what are you saying?" Jin Que Lou stammered in astonishment.
Lie Chifeng frowned, looking at the people below who were glaring at him indignantly, and said coldly again: "I, Lie Chifeng, only care about martial arts. The reason I came here is because my elder brother is missing. Since he is safe and sound, it has nothing to do with me even if the martial arts world of the dynasty is turned upside down."
Silence fell, then someone shouted, "You... but you shouldn't have helped the Dongming people either!"
Lie Chifeng frowned again. "Who said I was helping Dongming?"
"That's what Young Master Yun said himself!" Ai Wuying glared at him.
"The Imperial Dynasty and the martial arts world are none of my business, why should I care about Dongming?" Lie Chifeng looked at Ai Wuying with an expression of utter disbelief. "As long as my brother is alright, what the Imperial Dynasty and Dongming do is none of my concern. Besides, Yun Wuyai said that as long as I don't get involved in these trivial matters, he'll agree to spar with me every day. It's not easy to meet such a top-tier expert, why wouldn't I be happy to do so? He's much more agreeable than you guys." He turned his gaze to Ming Er and Lan Qi, the last sentence being addressed to them.
"Just... like this?" Everyone's eyes widened again.
Lie Chifeng frowned deeply, seemingly quite annoyed, and continued, "What's the difference between people? What's the difference between the people of the Imperial Dynasty and the people of Dongming? Whoever is the emperor or the ruler is the same; they all submit to one person. Besides..." He turned his gaze to Lan Qi and Ming Er, "'Lan Yin Bi Yue' is nothing special. Since the martial world is all about martial arts, then whoever has the highest martial arts skills and is willing to be the ruler should be the ruler. Why should so many people die in Dongming Sea for such a broken piece of jade? In my opinion, it's an extremely foolish thing."
"Chifeng!" Lie Chitang roared with all his might, "You... how could you be like this... I... I'd rather die than have you care about me." After shouting, his chest heaved, indicating that he was very angry, but judging from his appearance, he obviously didn't know what to do with his younger brother.
Lie Chifeng merely frowned at his brother's roar and said, "Mother said before she died that we were only two brothers." This left people wondering whether he was acting on his mother's orders or out of blood ties.
"Just as I thought," Lan Qi murmured. "It's really rare for him to say so much this time."
“That’s exactly what he would do.” Ming Er smiled as usual.
The crowd below remained stunned. No one had ever imagined that Lie Chifeng, one of the three young masters revered by everyone in the martial arts world, known as the "Blazing Sun Divine Blade," would utter such words. Although they had already witnessed his obsessive passion for martial arts on Mount Ying, they never expected him to leave them with such a "surprise."
Ning Lang and Yuwen Luo were dumbfounded and speechless.
“This Third Master is even less involved in things than our master,” Song Gen and Xie Mo murmured.
Qiu Hengbo shook her head and looked at Hua Fushu with concern.
Hua Qinghe also looked at his younger sister with concern.
Hua Fushu stared blankly at Lie Chifeng for a long while before a bleak and devastated smile bloomed on her face.
"I'm such an idiot. I never even knew him, yet I presumptuously thought he was the one for me, and I naively loved him one-sidedly. There really isn't anyone more stupid than me in the world!"
"Sister." Qiu Hengbo called out to her, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she simply reached out and gently held her hand.
"Sister, don't be sad. There are plenty of good men in the world," Hua Qinghe could only comfort her.
"Great Hero Lie."
As everyone fell silent, Mei Hongming suddenly stood up. “Perhaps, in your heart, only martial arts are the most important, but in the hearts of most people in our dynasty, dignity and integrity are more important. ‘Lan Yin Bi Yue’ is not just a piece of jade and a token; it also represents the entire martial arts world of the dynasty. It is also a spirit left to us by our predecessors Bai Feng and Hei Xi, a symbol of the coexistence of the righteous and the wicked, and the unity of the entire martial arts world. That is why we came here for it.”
"Well said!" Yuwen Luo clapped his hands and immediately wrote it down.
"Yes." Ning Lang nodded emphatically.
Qiu Hengbo and Hua Fushu both looked at Mei Hongming in surprise, never expecting that this handsome and silent young master of the Peach Blossom Sect would say such a thing today.
Nan Wofeng nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, while Kong, Qiu Changtian, and others also nodded in approval.
"There are some truly unexpected figures today," Lan Qi murmured.
"In that case, the martial arts world is quite interesting, isn't it?" Ming Er said softly.
"You have your principles, and I have mine." Lie Chifeng nodded, not objecting. Chapter 81, Section 31: Still Asking Bi Yue about Xu Lan Yin (Part 2)

Just then, a sudden, deafening roar came from afar. Everyone on the peak was startled and looked towards the sound. They saw a ball of fire rising from below, and thick smoke billowing up like clouds. That was...
Yun Wuyai suddenly turned his head to look at Lan Qi and Ming Er.
Lan Qi shook her head innocently.
Ming Er smiled gently and said, "I forgot to tell Young Master Yun that my family really likes the four cities of Dongming Island. They probably used the Hua family's fire-thunder bombs to play around in the south city just now. They were really careless. I will definitely discipline them properly when we get back."
This was completely unexpected. Everyone stared at Ming Er, and then joy slowly spread across their faces.
Between the four cities of Dongming and the hundreds of lives of the imperial dynasty, which is more important?
“You…as expected!” Yun Wuyai gritted his teeth and looked at them. All the doubts he had before suddenly became clear.
"Sigh! You don't understand us at all." Lan Qi looked at him and shook her head with great regret, but a sneer played on her lips.
“That’s right, I don’t understand.” Yun Wuyai nodded.
Their reason for fleeing all over Dongming Island, and for taking so long to find Nanfeng, was not out of necessity, but rather intentional. They had miscalculated; the lives of these people from the Imperial Martial Arts World weren't that important to them, so they could arrange everything before coming to rescue him… Good! Good! But…
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and when they saw clearly again, Yun Wuyai was still standing in the same place, but he was holding a blood-dripping sleeve sword in his hand.
What incredible speed!
"The lives of the imperial family members may not be that important, but what about the life of Young Master Feng Yi? Are you still unmoved, Seventh Young Master?" Yun Wuyai said coldly.
Everyone rushed over and saw that Feng Yi's white clothes were stained with crimson blood. Soon, a pool of blood appeared on the ground, indicating that the wound was very deep.
Lan Qi's smile vanished as she gripped the jade fan tightly, her emerald eyes fixed on the crimson mark on Feng Yi's shoulder.
Despite suffering this sword wound, Feng Yi did not utter a single cry of pain. His expression remained calm, showing no trace of suffering. If it weren't for his pale face and the bright red stains on his clothes, he would have been no different from an ordinary person. He simply raised his eyes and glanced quietly at Lan Qi, then lowered his head again, becoming as silent as if he no longer existed.
"How annoying." Lan Qi murmured, "How could you hurt my most important brother?" Her voice seemed to contain tenderness, and her face was full of sorrow.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yi looked at Lan Qi, and when he met those deep blue eyes that revealed no emotion, he felt a chill and a pang in his heart, and lowered his head again.
"Alas! Whose life is more important?" Lan Qi seemed endlessly troubled, and everyone stared at her in a daze, only to hear her next sentence: "Young Master Yun, between my brother and your Northern King, whose life is more important?"
Yun Wuyai's eyebrows twitched, Wan Ai and Qu Huailiu looked surprised and doubtful, and the heroes were stunned.
The life of the Northern King?
Lan Qi tapped Ming Er with her jade fan and said, "Second Young Master, Young Master Yun doesn't seem to believe that anyone can break into his high and mighty Beique Palace, which is like an impregnable fortress."
The Second Young Master Ming smiled gracefully, took out a purple bamboo flute from his sleeve, brought it to his lips, and a clear whistle rang out.
A moment later—
"Seventh Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
