Chapter 33: The Mysterious Woman

Lei Wuchen and the others hurriedly took a few steps back, staring at the black-robed man, and as the black-robed man continued to gather, the surrounding trees were blown by the aura emanating from his body.

Ding Xiao held the scimitar tightly in his hand, looked at the black-robed man whose whole body was wrapped in airflow, and said with a cold face: "You go first, I'll drag him down."

"With his cultivation, we can't escape, it's better to wait for him to make a move."

Lei Wuchen's words obviously surprised Ding Xiao, he looked back at Lei Wuchen, now he was in danger, but Lei Wuchen's face was still very calm, and there was no panicked look.

"If you know each other, then I'll send you away first"

Before the words fell, the figure of the black-robed man moved slightly, like lightning towards Lei Wuchen. Seeing this situation, Ding Xiao hurriedly gathered his strength and rushed towards the black-robed man with a knife, but the speed of the black-robed man was far beyond his imagination, and before he could react, he was already knocked away by the black-robed palm, and he fell to the ground with a heavy "clang".

The black-robed man ignored Ding Xiao, and quickly jumped up, just when he was about to touch Lei Wuchen's body, he saw a ray of light rushing towards the black-robed man, seeing this, the black-robed man hurriedly flipped sideways, converging the power in his arms, and at the moment when the light touched his arms, he only heard a "boom", the two forces collided suddenly, and the violent airflow instantly dispersed rapidly to the surroundings.

The black-robed man took a few steps back, hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction where the light was coming, and before he could see the figure, he felt a little cold in his neck.

"Don't move!"

Ding Xiao looked up and followed the sound, only to see Li Qing holding a long sword, pointing at the erection neck of the black-robed man, the snow-white blade exuding a chill in the dazzling light.

"You ...... It's so despicable."

"Who is behind you?", Lei Wuchen stepped forward and asked.

Hearing this, Ding Xiao understood why Lei Wuchen followed him to the mountain in the morning, it turned out that all this was arranged by them.

"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you anything."

"Okay, senior brother, we don't need to talk nonsense with him", Lei Wuchen shook his head and said helplessly.

Just as Li Qing was about to make a move, he suddenly heard a sound of "rustling" from the depths of the woods, and the black-robed man looked at the time, and the moment Li Qing turned his head to look, he hurriedly stepped back and jumped up, and disappeared between the trees in the blink of an eye.

"Senior brother, don't chase him, let him go", Lei Wuchen stopped Li Qingdao.

Looking at the woods where the black-robed man was no longer visible, Li Qing had no choice but to put away his long sword and look back at the place where the sound came from just now.

"Qing'er, why are you here?", Lei Wuchen asked in surprise when he saw the person coming.

"I saw my senior brother suddenly coming here, and I was worried that something had happened to you, so I followed. What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I met a few night monkey beasts, and now it's fine", Ding Xiao hurriedly put the bloodstained scimitar into his waist and responded.

Lei Wuchen glanced at Ding Xiao, nodded and agreed: "Even a few night monkey beasts passing by, it's fine."

"It shouldn't be", Qing'er looked around suspiciously, and then said, "I obviously heard the sound of a fight here just now."

"You may have heard it wrong, this mountain forest is not complete, you go back with your senior brother first, Ding Xiao and I will continue to pick herbs"

Qing'er looked at the three of them suspiciously, although she knew that they must have something to hide from her, but since they didn't say it, it would be fruitless to ask again, so she had to follow her senior brother back.

"You can go back with them, you still have injuries on your body, I can go to the valley alone", Ding Xiao knew that Lei Wuchen followed him, just to lure out the person last night, but looking at the situation just now, this person should not be the same person as last night, but the person has already come out, and Lei Wuchen has no need to go down with him, so he said.

"Can you do it alone?"

"Don't worry, I've been to this valley many times, you go back first, and I'll go back as soon as I finish collecting the medicine," Ding Xiao picked up the medicine basket on the ground and said confidently.

Lei Wuchen didn't say anything more, presumably Ding Xiao had already understood this matter, so he replied: "Be more careful yourself"

Ding Xiao looked at Lei Wuchen's departing figure, although he had only known him for two days, but the experience of these two days made Ding Xiao admire him more in his heart.

The river flows quietly past the edge of the village, and the fish in the water swim merrily, sometimes coming out of the water, looking around, but then diving to the bottom again.

Lei Wuchen walked up to Li Qing, who was standing by the river, and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what are your plans for the next thing?"

Li Qing didn't answer, except for the two people in black robes, he didn't know how many people were behind this matter, and what secrets were hidden in this seemingly ordinary village.

"How do you know that they are the same senior brothers?", Li Qing suddenly asked.

"Guess, the person who attacked us in the mountains and forests today is a woman", seeing Li Qing's surprised expression, Lei Wuchen continued: "This person is dressed the same as the black-robed man last night, they must know each other, and the person in the mountains and forests, with a thin body, fair skin, and slender fingers, is not a man's characteristic, although she tried her best to suppress her voice, she could still hear a sharp voice in her voice."

Listening to Lei Wuchen's speculation, Li Qing didn't say anything, from the fight with that person just now, he could also sense that that person was not a man, if she and the black-robed man were really senior brothers, then where did they learn from? Why did they stay near this Monkey Forest Mountain, and who did they obey? All these questions lingered in Li Qing's mind.

"Senior brother, do you think it's strange, why didn't the black-robed man come today?"

Lei Wuchen's question, Li Qing didn't know how to answer, if they were really brothers and sisters, why didn't they see the black-robed man appear at the moment of that person's life and death, the only explanation was that the black-robed man was not in Monkey Forest Mountain at the moment.

After a long time, Lei Wuchen said slowly: "Senior brother, I was outside the courtyard of Wu Chang'an's house last night, and I saw his wife holding a bowl, as if she was bringing food to someone, but this morning I asked Ding Xiao's mother, since Wu Changan lost his son, his family has always been the two of them, I think, there must be something hidden in their house."

"Maybe it's the night monkey"

"No", Lei Wuchen denied, "I once asked Ding Xiao, Wu Changan went to the mountains every night to catch the night monkey beast and came back in the morning, but he never brought back a living night monkey beast, if it is really a night monkey beast, then this night monkey beast must have other effects for Wu Chang'an, but Wu Changan returned early last night, and I didn't have a chance to see what happened."

"If Wu Chang'an's family really has something hidden, he must have taken action tonight"

"So Senior Brother Lao is going to take a trip", Lei Wuchen smiled slightly, and then said: "With Senior Brother here, no matter how many people are behind this matter, they must not be our opponents."

Li Qing glanced at Lei Wuchen in front of him, in the Lei family, he only cared about practicing and had never really had contact with Lei Wuchen, but after these few days, Li Qing could obviously feel that in Lei Wuchen's body, there was composure and calmness that did not belong to his age.
