Chapter 161, The Betrayer
The sect leader's words immediately shocked everyone inside and outside the main hall, and the expressions of the four Dharma Protectors changed greatly.
The Golden Serpent Protector immediately stepped forward and said with concern.
"The sect leader failed to break through and was seriously injured?"
Xue Jian nodded and said with a little anger.
"I was already on the verge of success, but suddenly a man in black appeared and interrupted my cultivation. ”
The hearts of the women in white sank.
Before, they heard the wailing of the sect leader from the main hall of the witch god statue, but they didn't see anything when they broke in, and the sect leader didn't say much at that time, but now that they think about it, they must be suspicious.
The tall woman immediately fell to her knees on one knee and pleaded guilty.
"Sect Master, this matter is due to the ineffective guards of our guards, and I also ask the Sect Master to punish him. ”
As they spoke, the group of women in white all knelt on the ground, genuinely afraid.
Everyone inside and outside the hall looked at them with suspicion in their eyes.
Fei Yue, who was sitting next to Xue Jian, was stunned and said coldly.
"Bai Lu, please take the blame at this time, did you deliberately put that assassin in?"
The tall woman immediately pleaded.
"That assassin has absolutely nothing to do with us, three of my men were killed by the man in black, two of them were seriously injured and dying, and one died outside the main hall, please consult the Lord and Lady Yue. ”
Xue Jian waved his hand and said.
"This matter has nothing to do with them, the assassin is from the bottom of the mountain, the sect leader has investigated, and the guards at the foot of the mountain and at the gate of the mountain villa have been killed.
So this assassin ...... It must be someone who knows the mountain village very well, but is outside the mountain village. ”
As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect inside and outside the hall were all terrified.
The meaning of this was already clear, and the Sect Master suspected that those of them who were outside had come back to carry out the assassination.
The four Dharma Protectors looked ugly, and after a moment, the golden lizard asked.
"The Sect Master suspects that there are betrayers in our group?"
Xue Jian narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"It's hard to come to a conclusion on this matter, so the Sect Master summoned all of you back urgently, firstly to strengthen the defense of the mountain villa, and secondly, to investigate this matter carefully. ”
The golden lizard asked again with a calm face.
"Isn't the sect leader going to capture Black Tiger Mountain?"
Xue Jian snorted coldly and asked.
"Is the headquarters of our Five Poisons Sect important, or is it just a Black Tiger Mountain that matters?"
The golden lizard's eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"But...... If you can't capture Black Tiger Mountain within half a year......"
Halfway through his words, Xue Jian stopped him from continuing.
"The Golden Lizard Protector said cautiously, when the strength of the sect leader recovers, it is not just a Black Tiger Mountain to be taken casually. ”
During the half-year period on the secret letter, the entire Five Poisons Sect was only known to the Sect Master and the Golden Lizard Protector.
Hearing what the sect leader said, the golden lizard silently retreated and said no more.
Xue Jian continued.
"Bai Lu, it's up to you to lead someone to investigate this matter carefully, don't let go of every suspect and interrogate them well. ”
The tall woman hurriedly nodded yes, saying that she would definitely atone for her sins and find the traitor.
Then Xue Jian, Concubine Yue, and Mo Jiuweng, who was dressed as Zhuo Duyun, left the main hall.
All the way back to Linchi Xiaolou, Fei Yue asked with a sneer.
"What the hell is your purpose? Do you know that if you do this, you will probably arouse the suspicion of the golden lizard, he is not so easy to fool. ”
Xue Jian glanced at her and said lightly.
"It's none of your business, so don't ask. ”
His purpose is very simple, that is, to let this group of people stay in Wangcheng Mountain, as long as it is delayed until the deadline of half a year, the Witch King Palace will be dispatched, and all the people of the Five Poison Sect will go to the north to fill the army.
When the time comes, he can also use the identity of the leader of the Five Poisons Sect to go to the north to secretly find the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Stone Tablet.
For the next period of time, Xue Jian stayed in the small building every day, staying at home, except for cultivation.
But outside, the investigation of the betrayer made people panic, and almost everyone accepted the questioning of the group of women in white, even the four Dharma protectors.
It's a pity that there is still no leader about the assassins, and the matter of attacking Black Tiger Mountain has been slowly put down by most people.
After all, none of them knew that the Witch King Palace had issued a secret order for half a year, and the golden lizard was the only one who was secretly anxious.
On the other side, Xue Jian asked Mo Jiuweng to secretly go down the mountain once, and after changing his appearance, he returned to Black Tiger Mountain and passed the news to Senhu and Du Xiaoqing and others.
After that, the business of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce was done again, and Yueya Town and Tianya City were back on the right track of rapid development, and they exchanged trade with merchants from all over the world, and the exchanges became more and more frequent.
Without the hindrance of the Five Poisons Sect, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce expanded dramatically, attracting many poor local young people to join.
Chen Shiwen is very capable of management and business, and will be prosperous in the operation of a huge chamber of commerce.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, because they know that the threat of the Five Poisons Sect has always been there, the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce has expanded its number of people very quickly, and it has recruited more than 1,000 members of the Chamber of Commerce in two months.
After these members join the association, no matter whether they are from high or low backgrounds, no matter how good or bad their qualifications are, they will be taught martial arts by Du Xiaoqing and Sen Hu.
After a period of training, the strength of this group of people is not too bad, and they are not a rabble.
At least now, Black Tiger Mountain is already qualified to go toe-to-toe with the Five Poisons Sect.
And on Wangcheng Mountain, after Xue Jian practiced in retreat for two months, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had already reached the seventh level of the Mixed Yuan Realm.
After breaking through this day, Xue Jian walked up to the roof terrace and rarely came out to breathe fresh air.
He happened to see a cold beauty wearing a slim lilac dress walking out of the small building opposite.
Fei Yue is tall, only half a head shorter than Xue Jian, and a pair of straight and slender jade legs loom when the breeze blows through the long skirt, which makes people want to stop.
Especially the distance between the two small buildings, which is not far away or close, looks at it like this, it is simply beautiful to the extreme, making people feel like they want to grasp but can't grasp it.
She leaned slightly on the wooden railing, her jade hand holding her cheeks, and laughed softly.
"Husband, I haven't seen you for two months, but you still miss me?"
Xue Jian looked at her and did not speak.
After a moment, Fei Yue shook her head and spoke lightly.
"Uninteresting man, you don't miss me, but someone wants to see you every day. ”
Xue Jian had already expected that the only person who wanted to see him at this moment should be the golden lizard who knew the content of that secret letter.
He raised his feet and stepped on the wooden railing, lightly jumped to the terrace of the small building opposite, looked at the cold and glamorous beauty close at hand, and spoke.
"I'd like to ask you a favor. ”
Fei Yue obviously didn't expect him to fly over like this, so she subconsciously took a step back, and then laughed again.
"What's busy, let's talk about it. ”
Xue Jian didn't answer her, just a glance, and the two walked into the small building together.
Early the next morning, the Golden Lizard Protector came to her exquisite little attic at the invitation of Concubine Yue.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xue Jian who was sitting with Fei Yue, his eyes flashed, and the golden lizard hurriedly saluted.
He didn't expect that the sect leader, who had been in retreat for two months, would actually come out of the customs and meet him at Mrs. Yue's residence.
