Chapter 112 Li Muchen's Back-up Plan
"Let alone your identity being in doubt, even if you are really from the Xiao family, would you dare to arrest the third young lady of the Li family without solid evidence?"
Dongfang Tianyu's voice was cold. He was not threatened at all by the other party and continued to rush towards Shenhuoshan Villa.
"Who said we have no evidence?"
"The investigators we sent to the Li family have found out that the third daughter of the Li family, Li Muchen, has a close relationship with you and is secretly helping you conduct research that you cannot disclose."
"She even used her status to steal confidential information from the Li family and the Dao League for you. All of this is enough to prove that the two of you are in cahoots with each other and are trying to subvert the order of the Dao League."
Li Muchen's words reminded Dongfang Tianyu of the handwritten document that Li Muchen gave him three months ago. It indeed contained secrets of the Taoist Alliance that ordinary people could not access.
"Could it be that Sister Chen was caught by someone else because of this incident?"
For a moment, Dongfang Tianyu suddenly felt hesitant.
Although he was unwilling to reveal the power of the Eye of the Spirit World to others, he was even more unwilling to let Li Muchen be implicated. After all, Li Muchen was innocent in this matter.
"Are you threatening me?"
Dongfang Tianyu changed his mind and pretended to be angry and helpless, with a hint of struggle in his tone.
"Threats? No, we're just stating facts."
Xiao Tianhao's voice was still cold, but Li Muchen quietly gave him a look from the side, signaling him not to be too decisive. She knew that Dongfang Tianyu was not someone who was easy to control, and extreme words would only provoke his resistance.
"Dongfang Tianyu, if you really want to save yourself and the two villas, you should understand that continuing to escape is not a solution. Only by facing the investigation of the Taoist Alliance can you find a way to solve the problem."
Li Muchen added on the side.
Dongfang Tianyu paused slightly when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the Shenhuoshan Villa in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that once he stepped into the villa, he could temporarily avoid these troubles, but Li Muchen's safety became an indelible haze in his heart.
"Okay, I agree to confront you, but before that, you can't touch a hair of Sister Chen."
Dongfang Tianyu finally spoke and put forward his conditions.
Hearing Dongfang Tianyu shout "Mother Chen", Xiao Tianhao gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up and chop him twice. But just as he was about to act, Li Muchen stopped him.
"Sister Chen...you..." Xiao Tianhao looked at Li Muchen who was standing aside with a gloomy face, and then he reacted, "Yes...I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
"Okay, we can guarantee her safety temporarily, but you must surrender and not resist."
Li Muchen on the side also put forward his own conditions.
Dongfang Tianyu took a deep breath, slowly put down the sword in his hand, and indicated that he was willing to cooperate.
With Dongfang Tianyu's compromise, the tense atmosphere in the forest finally eased a little. Li Muchen quickly stepped forward and wanted to control Dongfang Tianyu.
Dongfang Tianyu was waiting for this opportunity. When Li Muchen approached, he suddenly jumped up and instantly took Li Muchen hostage.
"You!" Xiao Tianhao and the people who were with him were all shocked. They didn't expect Dongfang Tianyu to suddenly attack, but they reacted quickly, drew their weapons, and surrounded the two men.
"Dongfang Tianyu, let her go quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
Looking at the long sword that Dongfang Tianyu held across Li Muchen's neck, Xiao Tianhao's eyes were bloodshot. If he was not afraid of hurting Li Muchen, he would have rushed forward and fought to the death.
With the hostage in hand, Dongfang Tianyu's attitude became tough. He looked around at the restless Xiao family members with a sharp gaze, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Back off! All of you, step back a hundred steps immediately! Otherwise, I will not guarantee her safety."
Xiao Tianhao clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He knew very well that the situation at the moment did not allow for any impulsiveness. The Xiao family disciples around him also looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to act rashly for a moment.
"Dongfang Tianyu, you will only get yourself into deeper trouble if you do this!" Xiao Tianhao obviously wanted to struggle a little more, and continued to speak, "You can't escape. The Dao Alliance will not let go of anyone who threatens its safety."
Dongfang Tianyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He exerted a little force with the magic sword in his hand, causing a faint red mark to appear on Li Muchen's neck.
"Stop!" Xiao Tianhao panicked when he saw this and quickly stopped them, saying, "Okay, we'll retreat, but you must also ensure her safety!"
Following Xiao Tianhao's order, everyone in the Xiao family began to slowly retreat, keeping a sufficient distance, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Dongfang Tianyu, fearing that he would do something extreme.
"Now, all of you must step back a hundred steps, and do not send anyone to follow or surround me. Once you bring me to safety, you will naturally let him go."
Dongfang Tianyu held Li Muchen hostage, looking unquestionable.
Xiao Tianhao was furious when he heard this, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He took a deep breath and winked at his men, signaling them to act according to Dongfang Tianyu's request.
Soon, everyone in the Xiao family retreated to the designated distance, and the entire forest returned to peace again. Dongfang Tianyu did not hesitate and took Li Muchen to quickly escape to Shenhuoshan Villa.
"Tell me, who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
When Shenhuoshan Villa was right in front of him, Dongfang Tianyu turned his head to look at Li Muchen who was being held hostage and asked.
"We are the Black Obsidian Supervisors of the Dao Alliance. The power in you is too dangerous. The Dao Alliance must ensure that this power is used for the right purpose."
Even at this time, Li Muchen still maintained this rhetoric.
Dongfang Tianyu naturally sneered at this: "I want to see who you are."
After saying that, Dongfang Tianyu brought Li Muchen to the ground and reached out to take away the black scarf that covered her face.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the black veil, Dongfang Tianyu's eyes suddenly rolled back and he fainted without any warning.
"Xiao Tianhao is a loser. He can't even deal with Dongfang Tianyu. Fortunately, I have a backup plan." Li Muchen looked at Dongfang Tianyu lying on the ground with a sneer on his lips.
Three months ago, he had tampered with the tea he used to entertain Dongfang Tianyu, mixing it with an extremely rare drug that was colorless and tasteless, and even a cultivator with a high level of cultivation could hardly detect it. After drinking this drug, there would generally be no abnormalities, but if one inhaled the accompanying incense, one would fall into a deep coma in a short period of time.
