My enemies became my companions

Chapter 7 Nothing, after all, empty

Across the waterway, in a teahouse in the distance, a pair of cold eyes looked out at the team of Jinyiwei.

It was early morning, and the tea girl ordered tea for the disciples of Yinjian Mountain. They drank tea, lowered their heads and talked in low voices.

"What happened to Master Zhou today? Why did she sit in this teahouse without saying a word?"

"Could it be that you like the tea here? But this tea is just average, it's no match for the thousand-year-old tea trees on the mountain."

"Have you noticed? Not only did Master Uncle come to the capital ahead of time, but he also looked over there as soon as he went upstairs, as if he was waiting for someone."

“Is there a genius with a deep affinity for Taoism here?”

……

All the disciples of Yinjian Mountain followed her gaze.

Those trivial discussions lingered seven feet behind the one-armed woman, but she seemed not to hear them. Within seven feet, she was the only one sitting alone, with no one approaching her.

If someone was next to her, they would notice that her eyes were complicated.

...............

"Brother Zunming, how are you?"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves and seeing the Jinyiwei in official uniforms with great momentum, the guardian elder of the Ming and Dark Divine Sect felt something was wrong.

However, the captain of the Western Factory smiled widely, dismounted from his horse, clasped his fists and said:
"Elder Li, I brought the brothers here specially to see you off."

Elder Li was stunned.

"Since you invited us to have a drink, we naturally have to ensure that you leave safely."

Chen Yi lowered his voice.

Elder Li was shocked. As an old fox, he was half-believing and half-doubting at this moment.

Is it true that Chen Zunming, a captain of the Western Factory, is such a trustworthy and righteous person?
"Isn't this... too much of a fuss?"

Elder Li couldn't help but say.

Chen Yi sneered.

"With our West Factory stepping in, how dare the East Factory act rashly?"

"Elder Li, the East Factory is not peaceful. Someone said they want to arrest you."

Min Ning subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Listening to Chen Yi's words, Elder Li frowned and clasped his fists, saying:
"Thank you for the reminder. We also know that the people in the East Factory are fickle and cannot be trusted.

Then...you should..."

Chen Yi smiled and said:

"Of course we have to see the Buddha off to the west. Let's go to the teahouse at the ferry and have a cup of tea. You can set off again after the boat arrives. You should pay for the tea, right?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li couldn't help but complain in his heart, such a big fuss, after all this time, it turns out they were just trying to extort money!

What a traitor Chen Zunming is!

Thinking of this, Elder Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I just came to extort money...

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

When he entered the teahouse, Chen Yi took a quick look and saw many members of the Demon Cult disguised as merchants and common people.

Right now they are in the teahouse, talking lively about Acalanatha and the Four Heavenly Kings. If an uninformed person hears them, they might think they are discussing Buddhism.

But in fact, the Acalanatha they are talking about refers to the Great Bright Buddha worshipped by the Ming and An Sect, and the Four Heavenly Kings refer to the four dignified saints, namely Purity, Wisdom, Light, and Power, representing the four great dignities of the Great Bright Buddha.

Going up to the tea room on the second floor, the waiter soon brought the tea. Chen Yi took it actively, opened the lid, and after carefully feeling it, nodded to Elder Li.

Elder Li couldn't help but laugh:
"Brother Zunming, you are worrying too much. This tea is not poisonous."

Chen Yidao:
"You should always be careful about everything. Have some tea."

Downstairs in the teahouse, there was a constant stream of "Buddhist" sounds. Min Ning's ears were a little calloused from listening to them. The guardian elder of the Demon Cult was sitting opposite her. She became nervous and her palms were sweating.

This guardian elder is a sixth-rank master.

And she considered herself to be in the early eighth rank.

One guardian elder can beat three of her.

This is also why she asked Chen Yi to bring people to help.

But now...

Min Ning saw that Chen Yi and he were having a very pleasant conversation, so he no longer looked like he was trying to punish evil.

Elder Li glanced at Min Ning and sensed something wrong in the latter's eyes.

"Brother Zunming, your brother seems..."

Chen Yi realized something immediately after hearing this, and immediately put his hand on Min Ning's shoulder, and even secretly touched his ribs.

Min Ning was confused for a moment, but with the Demon Cult elder in front of her, she had to purse her lips and remain silent.

"He has never seen such a scene before, so he is naturally nervous."

Chen Yi said casually:
"Drink tea, drink tea."

Upon seeing this, Elder Li immediately let down his guard.

After drinking tea, Elder Li took out a stack of silver bills from his arms.

"This is just a farewell gift."

"This... is too formal! This won't happen again."

Chen Yi slowly gathered the banknotes in his hand and took a rough look at them. It was probably another one thousand taels.

"Give these to me, Elder Li is preventing me from becoming a Buddha."

Elder Li smiled slightly and said:

"All dharmas are without substance, are ultimately empty, this is called suchness..."

Chen Yi looked out the window and asked:
"come yet?"

Elder Li also looked over.

"Here we are. It's time for us to get on board. Thank you, Brother Zunming."

"It's time to hit the road."

Chen Yi smiled.

Elder Li was also smiling, but he froze in an instant, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Black blood oozed from his pale lips.

There's poison in the tea!

Chen Yi let go of Min Ning and supported Elder Li who was about to fall:
"You are being so polite. Why do you need to be so polite? Don't kneel. Don't bother!"

Black blood filled his throat, Elder Li's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Too polite!"

[Li Shengling, has sixty years of extraordinary Qi.]

After opening the box, all the true energy was absorbed into Chen Yi's meridians.

Elder Li fell down suddenly. Even a fool could see that something was wrong, but they were still chatting happily just now. Those people from the Demon Sect found it difficult to react. They just stared at each other in amazement for a while.

The people from the Western Factory outside the door were also confused and looked at each other.

Chen Yi stood up, and the embroidered spring sword was unsheathed, emitting a silver glow.
"Western Factory, under the emperor's feet, why don't you eliminate evil?!"

After saying this, Chen Yi cut off Elder Li's head and threw it down like a wine jug. The blood drew a circle in the air and fell heavily downstairs with a loud bang. The tea table shattered with a horrible head and the head was horrifying, and he died with his eyes open.

Min Ning was stunned when he saw this...

This person,

How can you be so chivalrous!
As Elder Li's head fell, the gunpowder in the room ignited.

The relationship had already been broken, and the people from the Western Factory had no time to react. They all boarded Chen Yi's pirate ship, drew their swords, shouted a few times, and broke into the teahouse to fight.

The teahouse was filled with flashes of swords and sabers, a blood mist spread in an instant, and the sound of teacups breaking could be heard everywhere.

The waiter dodged hurriedly here and there, and was about to hide under the counter, but he found that the shopkeeper was already trembling inside.

A member of the Demon Sect took advantage of the situation and took off the heads of the two little guys who had nowhere to hide.

The members of the Demon Cult were killed by surprise, but even so, there were still a large number of them rushing towards Chen Yi on the second floor.

The muscular member of the Demon Cult held a demon-subduing pestle in his hand, shouted loudly, and swung the stick to smash Chen Yi's head into pieces.

Chen Yi laughed loudly, picked up the Embroidered Spring Sword, and moved the blade diagonally, circling to the side of the Demon-Subduing Pestle like a dragon, and swung it down. The people of the Demon Sect felt a huge force, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle smashed straight into the ground, making a shallow pit.

Taking a step forward, Chen Yi stepped on the Demon Subduing Pestle and immediately placed one hand on the head of the Demon Sect member, like an immortal caressing the top of his head.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi is not an immortal and cannot grant immortality.

The sixty years of alien true energy that had been rushing through his body instantly penetrated into the body of the demon cult member. The latter's blood vessels instantly bulged and he vomited blood. Chen Yi exerted a little force and his entire head was twisted and deformed.

The members of the Demon Cult fell to the ground, no longer having any strength left.

[Wang Gu, has twenty years of true Qi as an ordinary person]

[Li Shengling, has sixty years of extraordinary Qi.]

Chen Yi immediately took back his true energy, and all the eighty years of true energy entered his body, and he rushed around again.

There was a sound of breaking air in the air.

Several flying knives came towards Chen Yi's face.

Min Ning raised the knife and chopped it vertically, like beheading a dragon. The iron and stone collided, and several flying knives were cut in half.

The Western Factory had a large number of people, and the people in the Demon Cult were completely unprepared. With the death of Elder Li, they were suddenly leaderless.

After a while, the members of the Demon Cult were defeated, and there were many corpses in the house. Several people panicked and ran out of the window and jumped into the water, but were shot to death by the Jinyiwei.

Chen Yi sheathed his sword, slowly walked down the stairs, and came to the only remaining member of the Demon Sect.

"When the Enlightened King is born, he will surely restore... the world of ignorance..."

The people from the Demon Cult were covered in blood and their speech was slurred.

"All dharmas are without substance and are ultimately empty."

Chen Yi smiled.

A knife pierced through the head. Looking to the left, half of the head shattered to the ground.

Min Ning looked at this cruel scene, his face did not turn pale, but flushed with excitement.

I had misjudged him before.
I actually mistook him for a beast in human clothing!

This is clearly...

Thunderous means, compassionate heart!
Min Ning's hands trembled slightly as she wiped the blood off the knife. She was panting, but she was not tired, but excited. As a servant of the royal family, how could she enjoy the world? She was just a sly and mean person, fawning on the powerful, how could she feel happy to punish evildoers today?
Negative emotions: 5

Chen Yi turned his head and glanced somewhere.

[Exotic Qi in the body: 210 years.]

He was breathing heavily, and his black official uniform that was dyed half red had bulging blue veins all over it, and his eyes were red.

The strange energy in the meridians was rushing around everywhere, and a numbness in the hands and feet gradually came.

During the fight, Chen Yi kept injecting his alien energy into other people's bodies, causing their meridians to break and their bodies to explode and die. Only then was he able to hold on until now.

But now there is no one to transfer the true energy to me.

Blood oozed from Chen Yi's lips.

With no other options left, Chen Yi silently chanted the Yin-Yang Secret of Resentment.

As the Yin-Yang Technique was practiced, the impact of the alien true energy was alleviated, and what came out of it was an indescribable impulse.

"Let's go."

Chen Yi said hoarsely and turned away.

I have to go home quickly.

Min Ning hurried to catch up. She saw that Chen Yi was a little shaky when he climbed onto the tall horse, so she kept reaching out to support him.

Chen Yi gritted his teeth, then grabbed her hand and pulled it up.

"Ride on the same horse with me, and if I fall, you will carry me back."

Chen Yi sat in the back and Min Ning held the reins tightly.

Min Ning also noticed something strange, so he rode away without delay.

The horses' hooves galloped, making loud noises as they stepped on the bluestone bricks. As the people from the West Factory watched them go home.

Chen Yi's panting could be heard from behind him from time to time. His consciousness was in a critical state. Min Ning didn't care about anything else and said without any distractions in his mind:
"Hold tight!"

Then I felt a tightening sensation around my waist.

Tall horses galloped along the street. Min Ning shouted while paying attention to Chen Yi. Soon, they would return to Chen Yi's mansion.

Min Ning felt that the person behind him was hugging him even tighter.

"I give it back to you...Min Ning."

Chen Yi panted hoarsely and took out a secret book from his arms.

Min Ning took a quick look and saw that it was the Dragon-Slaying Sword that he had taken away, and he was surprised.

This person has really changed!
Min Ning felt that he couldn't quite understand him.

The beast in human clothing is just his disguise, he is clearly a chivalrous man!
When Min Ning thought of this, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

Negative emotions: 0

She didn't see that Chen Yi curled the corners of his mouth.

When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Min Ning asked him to get off, but he still held on tightly.

Min Ning was confused and then worried. She was about to turn her head, but the man put his chin on her shoulder.

"Min Ning..."

Chen Yi's voice was weak.

"what happened?"

Min Ning said anxiously.

Chen Yi, who was tortured by the Yin-Yang Art, could hardly hold back and said slowly:

"Min Qianhu, has anyone ever told you,
Your subordinate, Chen Zunming, the chief of the Western Factory, has a crush on you?"

The heroic woman's face turned pale instantly, the reins fell heavily, she shuddered, and her whole body trembled.

He stretched out his hand, pointing it in the wrong direction.

The favorable impression that had originally been improved was suddenly reversed at this moment, and the negative emotions soared instantly, even almost reaching the peak!

Negative emotions: 92
