1.

Lanzhou City, Tan Mansion.

"Waste! Rice bucket! What's the use of waiting!"

Tan Song scolded angrily, raised his hand and threw the glass tea cup in his hand far away, and the valuable cup was thrown directly into the courtyard from the main hall and smashed on the ground.

"You are a large group of people, even if one person spits on them, they can drown them, and they can't even take down two teenagers, I see what kind of face you will have in the future!"

There were three people standing in the main hall with a disgraced face, and they were being scolded by Tan Song at this time and couldn't raise their heads. One is Zhao Qi, the chief dart head of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, and the other two are the two disciples of Tan Song, who are now the owners of the two major martial arts halls in Lanzhou City - Le Tian and Tian Le.

In addition to Tan Song and these three people in this hall, there was also a corpse lying on a stretcher covered with a white cloth, and the cloth layer on the head and face had been removed, revealing the face of the corpse, which was the puppeteer who was chasing and killing Lin Xiao and Ye Xin in the black pine forest. His face was covered with dense bloodstains, and the white cloth on his body was also soaked with blood, which showed how tragic his death was.

Zhao Qi waited quietly for Tan Song to finish scolding, and then cautiously stepped forward and bowed and said: "Master is angry, although I didn't catch the two thieves this time, the woman among them was also seriously injured, and Lin Xiao's thief dragged her with her, and she definitely couldn't go far." Let's regroup and go on three more looks, so we don't have to worry about finding that kid!"

Tan Song glared angrily and said, "It's better to be like this! This time, if you catch those two thieves, you can kill them directly on the spot, and bring their corpses back to see me!"

Zhao Qi, Le Tian and Tian Le responded together: "Yes." ”

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded in the ears of everyone in the Tan family: "A group of ants are not as good as miscellaneous people, and they dare to easily judge the life and death of others...... Hehe, it's really ridiculous!" This voice was extremely cold, constantly echoing in everyone's ears, making people feel a cold meaning that penetrated the bone marrow, and it was indescribably eerie.

The speaker obviously attaches an internal force to the transmission of the voice, so that the sentence can be said as if it is spoken by the ear. Although Tan Song had practiced some martial arts when he was young, he had no foundation in internal strength, and his scalp was numb when he was shocked by these words, and the other party's grim and cold tone made him unstoppable goosebumps.

Zhao Qi has the best internal skills, and he reacted first, and immediately broke off and said: "Who is the rat who is hiding in the dark and pretending to be a ghost? Get out of here!"

As soon as the words fell, the cold voice said again: "Who do you say you are Lao Tzu?"

Zhao Qi sneered: "Whoever answers, I am whoever Lao Tzu!"

The eerie voice no longer appeared, but was replaced by a loud "bang", the gate of Tan's mansion was slammed open by something, and several figures flew in directly from the door, smashing into the crowd in the courtyard, and for a while, it was a mess.

Tan Song rushed up angrily: "Who is not long-eyed, dare to come to my Tan family to make trouble!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Dead! Dead! They're dead!" The crowd was in an uproar, and those dart masters and martial artists who usually set fire to and kill people without blinking an eye suddenly automatically spread out to both sides as if they had seen ghosts, vacating an area in the middle, revealing the few people who fell to the ground.

Tian Le and Le Tian protected Tan Song in the middle, Zhao Qi stepped forward to look at the people who fell to the ground, and recognized them as a few guards in the Tan Mansion Guarding Courtyard, and a few of them were the dart masters in their own dart bureau and the martial arts masters in Tian Le's martial arts hall, and they were arranged to help guard the periphery of Tan Mansion, and now they were all killed.

Zhao Qiqiang calmed down, inspected the corpses thrown in, and found that there were no obvious injuries on their bodies, and the expressions on their faces were all the same look of horror, as if they had seen something unbelievably terrifying before they died;

Zhao Qi couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't know what the level of the Tan family's guards was, but the dart masters he arranged were all top-level figures in the dart game, and now they were actually killed by someone who broke his neck with a move;

This person's methods are really first-class and clever, that is, he and Le Tian and Tian Le may not be able to retreat with their whole body, not to mention these palace guards and dart masters.

Zhao Qi stood up and said loudly: "Which master has come here, why hide and hide, why don't you come out and see him?" He now knew that the other party was a master, and his tone of voice became much more polite.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a green coat and a black cloak walked in through the doorway, the hood of the cloak concealed most of his face, so that only his sharp chin could be seen, and his pale complexion could be faintly seen.

The young man had a cold and cold breath all over his body, the same tone as his voice when he spoke, holding a thin long knife in his hand, slowly walked into the front yard of the Tan Mansion, raised the free hand, and snapped his fingers gently, and the door of the mansion that was blasted open moved without wind, and closed itself with a "bang" behind him.

The pupils of Zhao Qi and the three of them all shrank fiercely: "Cultivator!"

Tan Song was already so shocked that he couldn't say anything else, but pointed at the young man who broke in with his trembling hands, his lips twitched, and he repeated mechanically: "Demon man...... Sorcerer...... Who's the demon?!"

The young man opened his mouth with a cold and chilling tone: "Who said that you want to be my old man?"

Zhao Qi was about to step forward to probe the other party's tone, and suddenly heard this sentence, and suddenly his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his internal organs seemed to be followed by a spasm because of this chill from the bottom of his heart, cold sweat trickled down, and his mind became blank in an instant, and he even forgot to quibble.

The young man smiled coldly: "It's really promising!"

As soon as the words fell, a knife flash flashed, and the next moment, the young man's hand pressed on the hilt of the knife, as if he had just put the knife into the sheath, but amazingly, apart from the sword light, no one saw him swing the knife and draw the knife.

And the one who can prove that he has gone out of the knife is Zhao Qi, who is rolling back and forth on the ground at this time, wailing loudly.

There was only one wound on his face, from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his right. The young man's knife was swift and accurate, not only blinding his eyes, but also cutting off the bridge of his nose. Zhao Qi covered his eyes, blood flowed all over his face, and the pain that penetrated his bone marrow made his scalp numb and almost unconscious.

The people around were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and even a few people bit their hands tightly, even if they bit the blood bursting out, they didn't dare to let go easily, for fear that if they accidentally screamed out and attracted the attention of the young man, they were afraid that their pair of tricks would be destroyed in his hands like Zhao Qi for no reason.

Tan Song has been doing business on the underworld for a long time, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have the confidence to easily issue a hunt and kill order to Lin Xiao and Ye Xin; he boasted that he had seen the wind and waves, and it should be easy to deal with those slightly bloody things.

But at this time, the young man of unknown origin in front of him was far more ferocious than the so-called "wind and waves" he had seen, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand on his feet for a while, relying on Le Tian and Tian Le to support him on both sides so that he would not collapse.

I don't know if it was due to psychological effects, Zhao Qi felt that the pain in his eyes had spread to his whole body, and his hands and feet began to be numb, no longer rolling on the ground, but curled up in a ball, his hands covering his face, and blood seeping from his fingers.

His voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted hoarsely, as if doing so would distract him. In the midst of the terrible howl, I heard him suddenly say in a hoarse voice: "Leave ...... Knife ...... You're ......."

Before the words fell, everyone only felt that the figure in front of them flickered, and the next moment, the young man was already standing beside Zhao Qi, and the knife in his hand with a sheath directly pierced his throat. Zhao Qi's voice stopped, and he was killed on the spot, and the courtyard returned to a deathly silence.

The young man lifted the knife, took the corner of his cloak and wiped the blood from the scabbard, and then slowly pulled the knife out of its sheath, and swept his cold gaze over the faces of everyone in the courtyard.

The tip of the knife dragged on the ground, drawing sparks one after another, approaching Tan Song step by step.

Le Tian suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait!"

The young man stopped: "What?"

"Your Excellency is so skilled, it will be easy to kill us. Le Tian stubbornly said: "But before you do it, can you tell the reason, so that we can die and understand!"

The corners of the young man's mouth hooked up a grim smile: "I just want you to die, what more reason do you need?!"

Le Tian was stunned, and his face was like ashes for a while. Indeed, with the strength and capital of the other party, it really doesn't take much reason to let his gang die.

The young man suddenly retracted the blade with his backhand and said with a playful smile: "But you are right—after all, it is not me who you are chasing, and I really don't need to waste too much strength on you." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, as if they saw a glimmer of opportunity.

How did the young man change his words, and said: "But what I said has never been taken back, since it is inconvenient for me to do it, then this matter should be left to your own people to solve!" After finishing speaking, he turned around in the stunned eyes of everyone, and handed the long knife in his hand to a person who appeared behind him at some point.

The crowd was in an uproar!

Tan Song came to his senses slightly at this time, and set his eyes on the new person, first stunned fiercely, and then showed a terrified look on his face, even when Zhao Qi died tragically in front of him, he didn't feel so frightened.

He trembled and raised a hand, pointed at the man approaching with a long knife, and opened his mouth to spit out: "Rui ......"

As soon as the words came out, the sword wind flashed, and the blood flashed!

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

The young man sat in the main hall of the Tan Mansion for a long time, drinking a freshly brewed flower tea, listening to the screams and cries coming from the courtyard one after another, closing his eyes and smiling, and his fingers lightly scratched, as if listening to and appreciating a moving natural sound.

I don't know how long later, the courtyard returned to dead silence, the door of the main hall was suddenly opened, and a woman covered in blood walked in, dragged the long knife that was still dripping blood, and handed it to the young man who was drinking tea.

"Master. ”

"All taken care of?"

"Taken care of. ”

The young man put down the teacup and looked up at the woman in front of him with empty eyes and a blank face—Tan Rui!

The young man laughed evilly, took the long knife handed over by Tan Rui, walked to a blank wall, reached out and wiped it in the blood groove on the knife's body, stained his hands with blood, and then left a few bloody scribbled characters on the wall:

"Murderer, Ziyang Lin Xiaoye!"

2.

Kunlun Mountain, Ziyang Shenzong, Qianyuan Palace.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, but the hall was still brightly lit. The head of Yunya, the law enforcement elder of the Discipline Hall, Li Zhuhuang, and the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Mystic Law Elder Ling Xiao also had a straight face and no sleep, looking at Ling Ying, Yunxiao and Li Zhou, who had just rushed out of the hall from the dormitory.

The mountain breeze on a winter night is always more chilly, Yunxiao wrapped the fox fur brocade cloak tightly on his body all the way, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and complained to Yunya as soon as he entered the hall: "Dad, why did you send us an assembly order in the middle of the night!"

The last time I received an assembly order in the middle of the night was because I found out the fall of the life star of the Liaoyuan family, at that time, the three of them and Lin Xiao were all violating the ban on night travel, hiding on the top of the main hall to watch the meteors, even if they were summoned, they were thieves and didn't dare to have any other ideas. This time, he was really awakened from his sleep by the assembly order, even Ling Ying, who had the best temper among the three, couldn't help but have some small emotions.

But there are emotions and emotions, Ling Ying is still sensitive to the subtle atmosphere in the main hall, and after a little soberness, he knows that if something big happens, Yun Ya will never summon them in the middle of the night. Thinking of Lin Xiao's recent solo trip down the mountain to explore the map of the Dark Demon Evil God Record, he asked with a little worry: "Could it be that there is something wrong with Lin Xiao's investigation of the remnant map?"

"He?" Yunxiao snorted softly, "He is as good as a ghost, only he is looking for trouble with others, who else can find trouble with him?!" Besides, there is Hongchen watching him again, what can be the problem?"

Li Zhou nodded lightly and agreed: "I agree - even if there is a problem with everyone in the world, there may be nothing wrong with that guy." ”

"Ahem. Yun Ya coughed twice to interrupt them, "Have you finished speaking, just listen to me when you're done." Ling Ying was right, there was indeed something wrong with Lin Xiao's side. ”

Yunxiao's eyes widened in disbelief: "What happened?!"

Ling Ying frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Ling Xiao looked at his son and said: "According to the eyeliner reply placed by Lin Xiao's side - Lin Xiao found Lanzhou City all the way according to the traces of the Liaoyuan Patriarch Hua Feng who escaped from the Heavenly City, and found the clue hidden in the Innocent Family Mansion where Hua Feng stayed at the beginning. ”

What happened after that, the disciple in charge of investigating the situation did not know, only knew that the mansion of the Innocent Family was bought by a local famous family surnamed Tan and used as a warehouse to store treasures, and Lin Xiao and Hongchen sneaked in after they probably had some misunderstanding; ”

Ling Ying and the three of them exclaimed in unison, "What?!"

Li Zhuhuang snorted coldly: "Although Lin Xiao is wild and jumpy by nature, he has not patronized my precept hall over the years. But he was a righteous man, and he wouldn't and didn't bother to do things like murder, arson, and burglary. Then the Tan family's approach is either really a misunderstanding, or it is a blame. ”

Li Zhou said casually: "Then the Tan family is not a Xuanmen Immortal family, even if it is a bounty to chase and kill, I am afraid that it will not pose any threat to Lin Xiao." ”

"It's not that simple. Ling Xiao shook his head, "According to the information reported back - Tan Song, the head of the Tan family, is a master of both black and white, who seems to be doing serious business, but in fact, he hires those outlaws to do illegal things for himself, forcibly buying and selling, and squeezing other people's money. He also has a lot of connections in the rivers and lakes, and he will also spend a lot of money to bring those people in the rivers and lakes under his command. As far as the current known situation is concerned, there are two, one is Yin Yangqiu, who disappeared after betraying Guiyuan Villa, and the other is Li Jiuyin, the 'puppet actor' who has been rumored to have died for many years on the rivers and lakes. ”

"I don't know what kind of character that Li Jiuyin is, but the 'arrow without missing hair' in Guiyuan Villa is indeed a bit of a doorway. Ling Ying sighed softly and said, "If Lin Xiao falls into their hands, it will really be a little troublesome. ”

Yun Ya suddenly said, "It's not troublesome, they're already dead." ”

Ling Ying was stunned: "Huh?"

Yun Ya continued: "Not only the two of them, but also the entire Tan family, as well as the dart bureaus and martial arts halls that were involved with them in Lanzhou City, were all wiped out. ”

Ling Ying and the three of them were shocked: "What?!"

Yunxiao said in a daze: "It can't be Lin Xiao's doing, right?"

Yun Ya was noncommittal, he reached out and picked up a piece of linen cloth from the table next to him, and shook it away with a wave of his hand. The cloth was stained with bloodstains, and a few vague words were vaguely formed: "Murderer, Ziyang Lin Xiaoye." ”

"This was left by the murderer at several bloody crime scenes, and our investigating disciples rushed to rub the bloody characters before the government and the people found out, and then cleaned up all the handwriting, and then brought the rubbings back. Yun Ya said quietly.

Li Zhou said in a deep voice: "This is definitely a frame-up!"

Yunxiao also said angrily: "That's it, how could Lin Xiao do such a thing!"

Ling Ying calmly analyzed: "We know Lin Xiao's character, but others don't know, and I think the murderer's move seems to be aimed at Lin Xiao on the surface, but in fact, it is very likely that he is smearing our Purple Sun Divine Sect." Fortunately, these words have been disposed of in a timely manner, and there is no further impact. ”

Yunxiao asked, "Who is the murderer, have you found it?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "The reconnaissance disciple brought back a corpse from the Tan Mansion, which is a dart master of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau. Through the wounds on the corpse, we were able to determine the murder weapon. ”

"What kind of trick can this murder weapon judge? Could it be that this murder weapon is a famous blade?"

Ling Xiao said: "There is only one wound on the corpse, it is in the throat, it should be a knife down and directly cut the throat to death, the wound is slender, the laryngeal bone is neatly cut into two along the trend of the wound, and the most important point is that the knife goes down, it is the separation of flesh and bones." ”

Ling Ying's eyes widened in shock suddenly: "Separation of flesh and bone with a knife?!Could it be...... Leave the knife!"

"I can't think of a blade in the world that can so neatly separate human bones from flesh and blood other than the human sword. Li Zhuhuang sneered, "This sword is one of the artifacts of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect, and it used to be the saber of the previous sect master. And the person who is now controlling it is the son of the current Demon Sect Leader 'Tiansha' Ye Wushu - Ye Wurui. ”

Yun Ya let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's about the whereabouts of the Dark Demon Evil God Record, and the Heavenly City Hatred has finally taken action." The next situation on Lin Xiao's side will be more complicated and difficult than it is now. ”

Li Zhou said: "So this time you called us to come here to let us go down the mountain to find Lin Xiao and cooperate with him for the next investigation, right?"

Yun Ya nodded: "According to the report of the reconnaissance disciple, after Lin Xiao got rid of the chasing soldiers of the Tan Mansion, he entered the depths of Wushan, from where you can start to track down and find his whereabouts, and then meet him as soon as possible." In addition to this, there is one more thing. ”

Yunxiao asked, "What else is going on?" ”

According to the reported news, Lin Xiao also had a mysterious woman with him, this woman appeared after Lin Xiao left the Innocent Family Mansion, and has been following him ever since. I need you to keep an eye on this unknown woman to avoid any mistakes in the future. ”

"What's her name?"

Yun Ya said two words in a deep voice: "Ye Xin." ”
