Anyang City Inn in Guangyang County.

Several disciples in their teens knelt in front of a diminutive corpse, their eyes full of hatred.

Next to the corpse, there was also an old man in his sixties and seventies.

The old man was dressed in a snow-white robe, and his face was full of wrinkles, which looked a little hideous under the reflection of the candle flame.

No one noticed that at this moment, the old man's nails were already deeply embedded in the palm of his hand, and blood kept spilling out of his palm.

After a long time, one of the disciples stood up and said to the old man, "Master, Master obviously died from demonic skills, you must avenge my Master!"

Seeing this, everyone stood up and shouted, "Yes, you must avenge Master!"

"Don't worry, I and Senior Brother Situ are like brothers, if this revenge is not avenged, how can we be worthy of his spirit in the sky?"

The disciple who stood up first said, "Since that's the case, then let's kill Shouchun City now, kill Lu Ping'an, and wipe out the remnants of those demon sects!"

"Kill Lu Ping'an and wipe out the remnants of the Demon Sect!"

When the disciples heard this, they shouted loudly, as if this was the only way to vent their hatred.

The old man in white shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we have more important things to do on this trip, not to mention, with the strength of our current people, I'm afraid there is no way to kill him!"

"Do you just let him go?" the disciples were all unconvinced.

"How can this account be settled like this? Aren't they planning to hold the opening ceremony in three days? We will seek justice for our junior brother in front of the world's heroes!"

The disciple who first said that he wanted to take revenge only then understood what the old man in white meant, and said, "Yes, the Great Elder will also come over then, and he must kill the Tianyuan Sword Sect without leaving a chicken dog behind!"

The old man in white nodded: "You have to keep your mouth shut, don't reveal any rumors first, lest they be prepared and understand?"

"Yes!" the disciples replied.

......

In the evening of the next day, Lu Ping'an and the others returned to the inn, and when they saw the giant sword in the inn, they suddenly remembered what happened to Situ Deng, and couldn't help but stop.

Seeing this, Lin Shixiong also guessed a thing or two in his heart, and asked, "Master, are you thinking about Situ Deng?"

Lu Ping'an nodded, frowned and said, "There is something wrong with this matter!"

"You're not right, is it because the people from the Guiyue Sword Sect didn't come to us for trouble today?" Lin Shixiong asked.

"Yes, it stands to reason that the people of the Nanyue Sword Sect must have received the news yesterday, and they have not moved for a long time, which is even more worrying. ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Will they be prepared to wait for us to open the sect ceremony and then come to trouble us?"

Lu Ping'an didn't answer this, he thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember what he said when I invited Situ Deng to drink yesterday?"

"He seems to say that there is something big to do!" replied Lin Shixiong.

"The Nanyue Sword Sect has always been alone, and rarely intersects with other sects, what important thing can they do to come here?" Lu Ping'an asked suspiciously.

Lin Shixiong didn't know much about the Righteous Dao Sect, so he said embarrassedly: "The head of the sect is asking me again?"

"Lin Bo, please send someone to find out where the disciples of the Nanyue Sword Sect are staying!" Lu Ping'an said.

If this matter really made a big fuss at the opening ceremony, the Tianyuan Sword Sect would inevitably be condemned by other sects.

It really reached the point where the world's famous and decent families had to deal with themselves, and I was afraid that even the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom would not be able to protect the Tianyuan Sword Sect.

Of course, Lin Shixiong also knows the seriousness of the matter: "Okay, I'll do it immediately!"

I have to say that Lin Shixiong's efficiency is quite high, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, he hurriedly found Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an asked, "Is there any news from the Nanyue Sword Sect?"

Lin Shixiong nodded: "I have already found out, they are not in Shouchun City at the moment, but in the Tianhong Inn in Anyang City, the capital of Guangyang County." ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "Who is the leader?"

"An elder of the Nanyue Sword Sect, [new fo] named Yu Qiu, is Situ Deng's senior brother, and the two have been practicing swords together since childhood, and they are like brothers!" Lin Shixiong replied.

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Anyang City is less than a hundred miles away from Shouchun City, plus the two of them are like brothers, Yu Qiu didn't come over, there is obviously a problem here." ”

Lin Shixiong didn't answer, but said bitterly: "The cause of Situ Deng's death has also been investigated, it was due to demonic skills. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "In this way, this matter is really the Shadow Demon's doing!"

"What is the head of the sect going to do?" Lin Shixiong asked.

Lu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Uncle Lin, the matter here in Shouchun City, please leave it to you!"

"The boss wants to go to Anyang City?"

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "Well, go and worship Brother Situ!"

"Now that the situation is chaotic, and there are shadow demons secretly staring at us, it is too dangerous for you to go to Anyang City alone!" Lin Shixiong immediately dissuaded.

Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly: "The matter of Situ Deng must be resolved before the opening ceremony, although it is a bit risky, but I have to go to Anyang City!"

"But if something happens to the boss......"

"At that time, the imperial court will naturally send someone to take over the position of the head of the house, Lin Bo only needs to return to the imperial court, and in a short time, there must not be any major problems!" Lu Ping'an said.

The matter of the Tianyuan Sword Sect became bigger and bigger, stirring up the entire rivers and lakes.

This is a good thing for the imperial court.

As long as these forces are allowed to cause friction, the influence of the sect can be weakened and the position of the imperial court can be stabilized.

What's more, the imperial court has always been unable to figure out the details of the major forces.

It just so happens that you can also use the Tianyuan Sword Sect to spy on the essence of these sects.

Therefore, as long as the matter of Situ Deng can be stabilized, in a short period of time, the Dongyu Kingdom should not really let the Tianyuan Sword Sect completely perish.

Lin Shixiong knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Ping'an, so he suggested: "Otherwise, I will arrange a few people to go to Anyang City with you, so that you can take care of it!"

Lu Ping'an immediately vetoed: "It's still not necessary, there are too many people, but it is easy to expose the target." What's more, if it's someone I can't deal with, they will die for no reason if they go!"

"Okay, since the head of the sect insists, then I won't persuade you anymore!" Lin Shixiong said, and went to arrange the opening ceremony.

Lu Ping'an took out the sound transmission stone, contacted Chun Yu Feiqiong and Hu Ling, and briefly told them about the situation here.

After all, the matter of the Tianyuan Sword Sect was so big, they must have heard about it a long time ago.

If I don't tell them about the situation, they will be worried.

After Chun Yu Feiqiong learned about the Nanyue Sword Sect, he asked Lu Ping'an: "Do you want me to tell the peak master about this matter, although the Nanyue Sword Sect is not a small sect, it is still far from the Cloud Sword Sect, if the Cloud Sword Sect comes forward, it should be easy to solve!"

"No, after all, this is a matter between the Tianyuan Sword Sect and the Nanyue Sword Sect, so it's better not to involve the Cloud Sword Sect. ”

"It's not just between the two of you, since it involves Shadow Demon, it's a matter of decency!" Chun Yu Feiqiong explained.

Lu Ping'an smiled: "The problem is that I don't have any credible evidence in my hands, not to mention, the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom does not want the Tianyuan Sword Sect and the Yunjian Sect to get too close, if the Yunjian Sect really comes forward to help the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the emperor should be afraid!"

"Okay, then be careful yourself!" Chun Yu Feiqiong said with concern.

Hu Ling opened his mouth and said: "Otherwise, I will contact my father and ask him to find a way to help you!"

"No need, I'll find a way to solve this matter, you just take care of yourself!" Lu Ping'an refused.

Hu Ling felt that he couldn't help Lu Ping'an, and felt a little lost in his heart: "Oh, okay then!"

Lu Ping'an suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, the opening ceremony of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, will the Cloud Sword Sect send someone over?"

"It seems that an elder and a junior disciple of Houfeng were sent. Hu Ling replied.

When Lu Ping'an heard the news, he asked with a smile: "So, the senior brother in charge has successfully broken through and exited the customs?"

"Well, I was out of the customs two days ago!" Hu Ling finished speaking, and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Lu Ping'an said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? After the head of the sect retreated, the Cloud Sword Sect has always been in charge of the law enforcement elders, and with his character, it is absolutely impossible to send someone to participate in the opening ceremony of the Tianyuan Sword Sect!"

"What if this is the idea of the other peak masters? During this time, the law enforcement elders want to punish you, but the peak elders have said a lot of good things for you, and there is nothing wrong with them sending people to participate in your opening ceremony, right?" Hu Ling continued to ask.

"If that's the case, they should come over in person, instead of sending a lonely and unknown elder from Houfeng over!" Lu Ping'an said, explaining, "Actually, the senior brother in charge of the sect did this, it was a deliberate move, and the establishment of the Tianyuan Sword Sect was directly related to the Emperor of the Dongyu Kingdom, and if the Cloud Sword Sect didn't send someone here, it would be unreasonable." But if you send the peak master over, it will be too grand, and the Cloud Sword Gate will be worth it. That's why he sent a little elder who didn't go into the stream, which not only saved the emperor's face, but also didn't lose the prestige of the Cloud Sword Sect!"

Hu Ling suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder even Lord Yan Feng didn't stand up against the decision of the head of the sect!"

Lu Ping'an said: "Who is the person who sent over?"

"Elder Houfeng Shang Zhijing, and the disciple who just entered the Cloud Sword Sect this year......"

Speaking of this, I stopped, thought about it for a long time, and didn't come up with the name of the disciple.

Chun Yu Feiqiong on the side hurriedly reminded: "Lao Ping!"

When Hu Ling heard this, he hurriedly continued: "Yes, yes, it's Lao Ping!"

Lu Ping'an smiled: "How could it be him? This is too much of a coincidence, right?"

Chun Yu Feiqiong smiled and said: "I heard that he was in Fengjian City before, so he went to the door to look for it, wanting to avenge his father, and this time I heard that he also took the initiative to ask to go with Elder Shang, you have to be careful!"

Lu Ping'an sighed: "Maybe, I'm really here to avenge my father!"
