Chapter 623: Borrowing a knife to kill
It was night, and in the inn, there were only a few candles left.
The lifestyle of the people in Xianniu Prefecture is relatively close to the ancient style, but when a cultivator enters the Qi refining period, he can ignore the day and night, and his vision is as usual, and he does not need too many candle flames.
The candle flame in the inn is just an embellishment, but for Qin Lingwei at this moment, it has become a must-have item that rarely provides her with light.
Carefully holding a candle, Qin Lingwei walked to the door of Zhang Fan's room and knocked on the door.
The door opened in response, and I saw Zhang Fan sitting inside, without looking back.
"Come in, and say something. β
"I want to ask, why did you take out the Heaven Splitting Divine Sword during the day and give it to that Shen family master. β
Qin Lingwei went straight to the point.
She thought about it for an afternoon, but she couldn't figure it out.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like Zhang Fan's usual style.
Zhang Fan smiled faintly, "This should be more than just a question you want to ask." β
Qin Lingwei bowed her head and did not deny it: "Qi Yinghua, the clansmen of the Zheng family of the ancient family, they all want to know the answer to the question. β
"So, why don't you give us the truth?"
"After all, the Heaven Destroying Sword is very important, it is a sharp weapon against demons, and it must not be lost. β
Zhang Fan beckoned and asked Qin Lingwei to come to his side.
Qin Lingwei walked over in surprise, and heard Zhang Fan whisper in his ear: "Didn't you pay attention, after Shen Yi took my Heaven Splitting Divine Sword, what was the reaction of the people around him?"
"Naturally, we were shocked and stunned, and the people on the side ...... Ah, I see. β
Qin Lingwei has a delicate mind, and she can understand it at one point.
As smart as she was, she immediately understood Zhang Fan's intentions.
Outside the window, the two families who were quietly lying here eavesdropping, as well as Qi Yinghua, were scratching their ears and cheeks.
"What are you talking to Miss Qin? Why didn't I hear a word. β
"I seem to hear it, but I don't seem to understand it. β
Everyone looked at each other and chose to continue eavesdropping.
However, before they could react, the window suddenly opened, almost causing them to fall on their heads.
Looking up, he saw Zhang Fan raising his eyebrows and looking at them, Qin Lingwei pursed his lips and smiled lightly.
Scratching their heads, everyone had to jump in, and it seemed that the room had suddenly become much cramped.
"I know that you have been pretending to be a stomach full of questions since the beginning of the day. β
"I don't want to spend too much time explaining it, so I'll take you to see it directly, it's far worth a thousand words. β
Before everyone could come back to their senses, Zhang Fan waved his hand and directly connected to the side of the Sword Spirit of the Heaven Splitting Divine Sword, tearing open a spatial gap and becoming a temporary passage.
Everyone followed Zhang Fan into the passage in confusion and came to the periphery of the Shen family's manor.
When they saw the flames, the fight, and the collapsed luxury mansions, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
None of them could believe their eyes.
This is the Shen family?
How long has it been since his family was plagued to such an extent?
When a smart person saw this scene, he guessed that Zhang Fan was killing someone with a knife.
Is the Heaven Destroying Divine Sword precious? Of course it is precious, artifact, in the cultivation realm where resources are increasingly scarce, how many people have never seen an artifact in their lives.
Not to mention that the Heaven Piercing Sword is still at the level of a superb magic weapon, which can recognize the master and grow with the master.
As soon as the news came out during the day, the whole city was a sensation.
There are even faint people who use the communication charm to sell the news that the Heaven Breaking Sword has fallen into the hands of Shen Yi.
One can imagine how many cultivators will come towards the Excalibur.
"Treasures, only the mighty dwell. β
"Shen Yi rampantly thought that I would be able to defend it by giving him the Heaven Destroying Divine Sword, which is too naΓ―ve. β
Zhang Fan looked at the raging fire above the Shen family, and his heart was very calm.
The people of the Zheng family of the Gu family couldn't help but look at his figure in awe.
It's a good trick to kill people without seeing blood.
Shenyi wants to use the spirit stone as the entrance fee for refugees, which shows that his people are greedy and do not know how to advance or retreat.
When Zhang Fan took out the Heaven Destroying Divine Sword, he would definitely be blinded by greed, and he would only be full of the pleasure of getting the Divine Sword, completely forgetting the risks associated with the treasure being exposed.
The richest man in a small border city, the combined strength of the family's courtyard is not as good as the finger of a guard in the city lord's mansion here, and it is conceivable that the door will be destroyed tonight.
Glancing at the many cultivators who were in full swing without any nostalgia, Zhang Fan made a move and the Heaven Destroying Sword returned silently.
Looking at the Heaven Piercing Sword that was included in the storage ring, everyone couldn't help but give Zhang Fan a thumbs up.
High, really high.
This trick is wonderful, and even those cultivators who break their heads will never think that the divine sword will return to its original owner in the morning.
"In that case, we'll have to hurry up and leave. β
"The Shen family is the richest family in the border city, and if it is destroyed overnight, the border city will definitely be under martial law. β
Zhang Fan smiled, "Except for a few of our more representative faces, the recognition of the people of the Gu family and the Zheng family is still very low. β
"You can leave some people behind and take care of the refugees in the city, and then come back to join us when they are fully settled. β
"Remember, be careful and don't be too ostentatious. β
The clansmen of the Zheng family of the ancient family glanced at each other and immediately understood.
Separate arrangements were made, and immediately some people followed Zhang Fan and the three out of the city, and some people stayed.
The next day, the light of day broke, and the fire of the Shen family, which dyed half the sky red, was finally extinguished under the belated auspices of the city lord of the border city, leaving only dust and smoke.
Retracting his gaze, Zhang Fan and the others sat in the tea house, listening to the tea house Xiaoer gushing about all kinds of rumors that the Shen family turned out to be the tyrant here.
Shen Yi, relying on his family's wealth, bullying men and women, is hard to write, so he died in the battle of the cultivator to seize the treasure, it was really cheap for him.
But what does that have to do with your own group?
After Zhang Fan finished drinking tea, he wanted to find a place to rest, and while integrating manpower, he sent people to Luoyanzhou to find the traces of Zheng Lingfeng and others.
At this moment, two cultivators in a hurry came to the empty table next to them and sat down.
"Xiao Er, come to two cups of Lingquan Dew! I'm dying of thirst for our brother. β
"Okay, guest officer, please wait, Lingquan Lu will be here soon!"
After Xiao Er sent the things that these two cultivators wanted, seeing their tired and excited looks, he was immediately curious.
"Two guest officers, where are you coming from and where are you going?"
"Your tea house is open at the junction of the four directions, and you don't know that the treasure appreciation conference that will be held in the Blood Bamboo Yuan is about to be held?"
The two cultivators were sincerely surprised, they came from other places, and they thought that the people of Xianniu Prefecture had received the news.
At this time, except for Xiao Er, who was at a loss and wanted to solve it, the people around the tea house couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen to the news of this treasure appreciation conference.
I heard one of the cultivators say, "This treasure appraisal conference is said to be organized by a local tycoon. β
"In order to win the favor of the second disciple of the Medical Emperor, if you can find the favorite thing of the second disciple of the Medical Emperor in the treasure appraisal conference, you can get a promise from the rich. β
