Along the way, Zhan Chen always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, but when he turned around to take a closer look, he found nothing.

Every now and then, he would always laugh at himself: "Zhan Chen, look at your timid appearance." ”

Gradually, he also became familiar with a group of people, and there was one person who had a special conversation with him, his name was Shang Manfu, and he was the same as himself as the beginner-level cultivator of the martial arts, and he was at the bottom of the team.

However, because of this, they had something to talk about, Shang Manfu was a self-acquaintance, and every time he took the initiative to find Zhan Chen, this time and again, Zhan Chen also chatted with him very happily.

Zhan Chen also made another friend, his name is Gao Fa, but he has a high-level cultivation of a martial artist, he is thin and fierce, but he always has an amiable smile.

Once camping, he happened to run out of dry food, so he rushed to Zhan Chen to borrow it, and Zhan Chen of course borrowed a little from him by the way. Since then, this Gao Fa has been very attentive to himself, and he often talks to him without a word.

Of course, Zhan Chen didn't forget that there were still his enemies lurking in this group, and he noticed that the two people were particularly hostile to him.

One of them is called Hong Zhigang, that person has the cultivation of a martial artist at the middle level, so he targets himself everywhere, and often says something that he doesn't like.

There is also a person, Wang Jie, who also has a middle-level martial artist cultivator, this person aroused Zhan Chen's vigilance even more, because he often noticed that this Wang Jie was secretly staring at him behind his back, with a playful look flashing in his eyes.

Whenever Zhan Chen turned around and looked at him, he would return to normal again, and it seemed that he couldn't find a flaw anymore.

"How many of these people are killers sent by Lan Hong?" Zhan Chen didn't know, so he had to carefully guard everyone except Su Yun.

At this time, when it was getting dark, Huang Yue, who was at the front, turned her head and said happily to everyone: "Everyone, I have good news for you, there is a small town not far from here, and we can have a good place to settle tonight." ”

"Wow!" Everyone was very excited, obviously fed up with the wind and food these days, even if it was a strong martial artist, such a continuous rush, there would be a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

After a short time of walking, they saw a large town, in which pedestrians came and went, and it was very lively.

Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, and when they entered it, they found a luxurious hotel and asked for 20 rooms to live in.

Zhan Chen was assigned to the third floor, and as soon as he entered the room, he collapsed on the bed tiredly, feeling the softness on the bed, and couldn't help but smile, wanting to sleep well.

At this time, he heard a knock on the door, and Zhan Chen asked, "Who?"

"It's me!"

Zhan Chen understood that it was Shang Manfu when he heard the voice, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

Shang Manfu was not polite to him, he sat down directly in his seat, and called: "Zhan Chen, I have a treat today, and our brothers have a good drink." ”

"Okay!" With such a good thing, of course Zhan Chen would not refuse.

In a short time, the delicacies were served, and the whole table was filled, and Shang Manfu had several jars of fine wine and placed them on the ground.

Looking at the wine and food on this table, Zhan Chen smiled bitterly: "Brother Manfu, you want too much, right?"

"Not much, not much, we're not drunk tonight. Shang Manfu smiled and filled Zhan Chen and himself with wine.

"Come, let's make a bowl!" Shang Manfu drank the wine in his hand.

Zhan Chen didn't want to brush off his good intentions, and dried the wine in his hand.

"Come, let's talk while we eat. ”

So Zhan Chen and Shang Manfu were drinking on the table and chatting at the same time, at first the two of them were still a little unable to let go, mainly because Zhan Chen was still a little vigilant, but in the end, the more they talked, the happier they became, the more they drank, the more they drank, the night gradually deepened, and both of them were drunk.

Shang Manfu was even more unbearable, so he staggered down on the bed in Zhan Chen's room, and whispered: "Brother, I can't do it, I'll rest in your room tonight." ”

Zhan Chen looked at his drunken appearance and scolded with a smile: "You are resting in my room, so what should I do?"

"You go to my room to rest, it's next door, I can't do it...... Huh-huh-" Shang Manfu dropped these words and fell asleep.

Zhan Chen had no choice but to shake his head and blow out the lights in the room. Then he went out, touched the room next door to Shang Manfu and walked in, closed the door, and fell on the bed, unable to support it any longer, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhan Chen's alcohol strength finally gradually subsided, and he woke up, lying on the bed, thinking about what he had to do after arriving at Huangyangang.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a scream of "Wow!" from the next room, which was extremely painful.

"That's Shang Manfu's voice!" Zhan Chen couldn't be more familiar, he hurriedly ran towards the door, opened the door, and then saw a black shadow flash past him, he didn't even grasp the other party's figure.

"It's so fast!" Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, this person's cultivation was much higher than his own, so he didn't catch up, but hurriedly broke into his original room and lit the lamp to take a look.

A terrifying scene was presented in front of him, only to see Shang Manfu lying on the bed, his heart had been pierced, and he was still bubbling blood, his eyes were unwillingly staring at the door, as if he couldn't believe the fact that he had been killed.

Zhan Chen screamed: "Brother Manfu!" hurriedly reached out to his nostrils and probed, there was no longer breath, there was no trace of resistance around, and he was killed with a sword!

At this time, the lights in the next room were all turned on, and everyone broke in one after another, wanting to see what was going on, and several female cultivators, including Su Yun, were so frightened that they covered their mouths when they saw Shang Manfu's body for the first time, looking incredulous.

After a while, Huang Yue also arrived and asked, "Zhan Chen, what's going on, how could Shang Manfu die in your room?"

At this time, Zhan Chen had already calmed down, he stood up and calmly recounted the facts.

I heard Hong Zhigang shouting from the side: "Zhan Chen, you are still making up stories, when everyone comes over, they only find you and the corpse, you are the first person to be present, so only you may be the murderer of Shang Manfu's junior brother, Hugh has to make up such a ridiculous excuse as the man in black." ”

Zhan Chen said coldly: "Hong Zhigang, I am good friends with Shang Manfu, how could I poison him? You have no evidence, don't maliciously slander him!"

"Zhan Chen, show me your sword. At this time, I heard Huang Yue say on the side.

Zhan Chen took off his sharp gold sword and handed it to Huang Yue. Huang Yue examined it carefully, then carefully observed Shang Manfu's corpse, and said, "Shang Manfu was not killed by Zhan Chen. ”

"Senior Brother Huang Yue, I'm not convinced, why do you say that?" Hong Zhigang couldn't help but call.

Zhan Chen looked at him, a chill flashed in his eyes, this person was really hateful.

Huang Yue said: "Shang Manfu was not killed by Zhan Chen's sword, and there is no blood on Zhan Chen's sword. ”

"Then Zhan Chen might use other swords?"

"Do you have proof?"

"I ......" Hong Zhigang was speechless for a while, unable to answer.

Huang Yue swept towards everyone with a serious gaze and said, "Do you still remember what I said to you before I left?

At this time, I heard Su Yun say firmly on the side: "I don't believe that Senior Brother Zhan Chen is a murderer, I believe in his character!"

Hong Zhigang looked at Zhan Chen, a trace of deep jealousy flashed in his eyes, but it was true that he couldn't find evidence to accuse Zhan Chen.

In the end, Huang Yue said: "Okay, everyone cheer up, be vigilant, and guard against the enemy in the dark." I will try my best to report this matter to the sect as soon as possible, and when the time comes, someone will come to investigate, and the murderer will not be allowed to go unpunished! ”

Everyone began to leave, but Zhan Chen noticed that most people looked at him with a little more hesitation and vigilance, but he knew in his heart that the man in black was probably coming for him today, but by mistake, Shang Manfu became a substitute for the dead.

"I'm afraid that the man in black will still appear, maybe in the group of people just now! I'm too weak, I have to be strong immediately, otherwise the next time I meet him, I'll die!" Zhan Chen secretly clenched his fists, and a deep sense of crisis arose.

He raised his head, but saw that Su Yun had not left, and his eyes revealed concern, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm, now trust is more precious to him than anything else.

"Zhan Chen, are you okay?" asked Su Yun.

Zhan Chen smiled and said, "Su Yun, you know, I'm not a murderer. ”

"Well, I can tell. Su Yun replied calmly.

"Thank you for your trust!" Zhan Chen said gratefully.

Su Yun said: "Zhan Chen, in addition to believing in you, I also believe in the facts, because the cultivation of the person who killed Shang Manfu should be very high. ”

"Can you tell?" Zhan Chen asked in surprise!

"Well, almost. Su Yun replied casually.
