At first hearing the news, everyone in the streets and alleys was terrified, and without exception, they showed expressions of disbelief.

In order to deal with the catastrophe of the entire Yunshan Realm in the near future, all forces will have reservations in the battle, forming an unwritten rule, that is, innocent people must not be harmed. The struggle between the big forces has always been cruel, and it is impossible not to implicate the innocent at all, but fortunately, there is no explicit provision for this article, so everyone will turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as it is not explicitly going to ordinary people, everyone will not deliberately investigate it.

But something like this kind of Tuzhen, once it is done, it will become a public enemy of the Yunshan Realm, and it will be crusaded against by all parties, not to mention ordinary forces, even the Bu family and the Feng family who cover the sky with one hand in the Yunshan Realm, they have to care about the words of others and dare not make this move.

Therefore, when they heard that Iron Ridge Town had been slaughtered, everyone, whether it was ordinary people or cultivators, was shocked beyond measure.

"I said, your news is true, false. You can't spread that way. ”

Some still couldn't believe their ears and asked the shouters.

The person who ran to deliver the news was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said loudly: "This kind of thing, even if I borrow my guts, I don't dare to talk nonsense." To tell you the truth, the news of Dead Water City is closed, and it has been four days since the incident happened to get here, and the rest of the place has already spread. ”

"Ahh

When the news was confirmed, the man who was still skeptical about it immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

Just as the messenger passed by, Chu Zhen grabbed his arm and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, Iron Ridge Town was slaughtered four days ago?"

Four days ago, it was when Chu Sin and the others encountered that strange flower on the back side of Iron Ridge Mountain, that is to say, the day after Chu Scar took the blood-colored seed, Iron Spine Town was slaughtered, and Chu Scar didn't think it was just a coincidence.

"Yes, yes, it was four days ago. ”

Seeing Chu Chen's frosty face, the people who were sending the message around were shocked, and hurriedly replied in a stammering tone.

Chu Zhen's eyes condensed slightly, making a thoughtful gesture, suddenly, his eyes jumped, and he thought of something, and a sense of ominousness arose in his heart.

"Are there any living people in Iron Ridge?" Chu Zhen asked.

"Where are there any living people, the whole town is dead. Alas, it was so miserable. ”

Hearing the news, Chu Zhen immediately said to Long Yixuan and the others: "Let's go, go to Iron Ridge Town." ”

"Let's go to Blackwater Gate first, and then it's not too late to go to Iron Ridge Town. ”

The matter of Iron Spine Town is enough to shake the Yunshan Realm, the major sects, and even the Shenwu Hall will take action, Chu Zhen and the others do not have to intervene, so Sima Qingkong still feels that he should not go near and far, so he just turns back.

Chu Zhen let out a sigh of relief and said worriedly: "If I remember correctly, if Qu Feng wants to return to Cloud Gate, he should pass through the vicinity of Iron Ridge Town, and the day he goes back is exactly the day when Iron Ridge Town is attacked. ”

Hearing Chu Zhen's words, the other people's eyes suddenly widened, and they forgot about Qu Feng who had returned to Cloud Gate alone for a while.

"Then let's go. ”

Qu Feng can not enter Iron Ridge Town if he wants to return to Yunmen, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Qu Feng is close to the town, there is still a danger of being attacked. The person who dared to risk the world's condemnation and slaughter the townspeople was by no means ordinary, even at his peak, Qu Feng was very likely not to be an opponent, not to mention that his leg injury had not yet healed.

Therefore, if Qu Feng was involved in the turmoil in Iron Ridge Town, the result would definitely not be what Chu Zhen wanted to see.

With worries, the five of Chu Zhen immediately turned around and rushed towards the Iron Ridge Town that they had passed by.

Leaving Backwater City, Chu Zhen and the others followed the route marked on the map and went straight to Iron Ridge Town.

On the way, Chu Zhen and the others met some passers-by who were in a hurry, and all they talked about was the tragic slaughter of Iron Ridge Town.

From these mouths, Chu Zhen heard more definite news.

The town of Ironridge was supposed to be attacked at night, and many of the dead were wearing the night's bedtime robes. And what shocked Chu Zhen even more was that there were more than a thousand lives in Iron Ridge Town, and there was not even a single living mouth left, you must know that Iron Ridge Town is not a backwater city, and there are not a few cultivators who come and go to spend the night, and if something happens, they can't beat it, so they can always escape, but the reality is that they haven't even escaped.

The person who made the attack was either superior in strength or had a lot of power behind him, but in either case, it was certain that he was definitely a daring bloodthirsty maniac.

Under the full strength of Chu Zhen and the others, it only took them half a day to see the Iron Ridge Mountain that was heading straight to the sky.

Remembering the bloodthirsty flower in the valley, they didn't want to take risks, so they walked along the road where people often walked, bypassed Iron Ridge Mountain, and walked to Iron Ridge Town on the other side.

But to Chu Chen's surprise, as soon as they came to the outside of the town, before they could enter the town, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

The people who stand in the way, all of them have cold faces and haughty expressions, giving people a sense of superiority.

"Who are you, and why did you get to Ironridge?"

Glancing at a long sword full of cracks embroidered on the other party's chest, Chu Zhen did not clash with them because of the other party's cold attitude, because the embroidery on the clothes had already indicated the identity of this group of people, they were from the Divine Martial Palace.

The Shenwu Palace usually doesn't ask about mundane matters, and allows all parties to fight and fight, but this time, the matter of Iron Spine Town is beyond the scope of the struggle for power, and it is reasonable for them to intervene.

"We are disciples of the Cloud Gate, and we are on a mission nearby under the orders of our master. I heard that the town of Iron Ridge was attacked, and it happened that there was a disciple of this sect who had rested in the town, and I don't know if he was in danger, so he came here to seek verification. Chu Zhen replied truthfully.

"Cloud Gate?"

Hearing the name of Cloud Gate, he carefully observed the cloud tattoos on the clothes of Chu Zhen and several people, and the person who stopped Chu Zhen thought for a while, then waved his hand and motioned for Chu Zhen and a few people to go over.

"Go in, you people from Cloud Gate should be about to arrive. ”

Among the four gates of Cloud Mountain, Cloud Gate is the closest to Iron Ridge Town, so they must send people to help investigate this matter. As for the other three gates, if the situation does not worsen, they don't need to send people to Tieji Town, but in the follow-up investigation of the culprit, they also have to send people to assist, which is the responsibility of the four gates of Cloud Gate.

"Where are the corpses of the townspeople?"

The Shenwu Temple took over Iron Ridge Town first, and the corpses in the town naturally had to be cleaned up, and these corpses could not be placed there indiscriminately.

"In the ruined house east of town, you arrived just in time, and tomorrow, we will burn these corpses. ”

"Thank you. ”

After thanking him, Chu Zhen took Long Yixuan and the four of them into the town and went straight to the east of Iron Ridge Town.

When he arrived at the east of the town, there was no need to ask, a pungent stench had already pointed the way for Chu Zhen.

Walking quickly to the door of a large mansion, Chu Zhen pushed the door open, and suddenly, the stench came with the wind, and people couldn't help frowning.

Although the smell was heavier, Chu Zhen didn't care, and walked in with his feet. The rest of the people, if they could stand it, went in directly, and if they couldn't stand it, they first sealed their snorts with Yuan Li, and then walked into the door.

As soon as they walked into the house, they didn't feel the cruelty of the matter, but when they walked to the backyard, they saw that the seven open rooms were full of corpses, and the mood of several people suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Look for them separately. ”

The people of the Shenwu Temple collected the bodies of these deceased, but they didn't have the heart to sort and place them for them. Whether it was men, women, children, ordinary people, or powerful cultivators, they all threw themselves into the house and didn't care. To see if Qu Feng was also among them, Chu Zhen and the others could only turn over the corpses one by one.

Worried about the safety of the same door, at this time, they didn't care about the smell of the corpse and the carrion on the corpse, so several people scattered and rummaged in various rooms.

Chu Zhen walked into the room opposite, and he saw that there were nearly a hundred corpses piled up inside, most of these corpses were still very intact, but some of them were either missing arms and legs, or they had no heads, and some were even cut off by the waist, and their intestines were leaking out, just exposed.

Chu Zhen sighed in his heart, the mind of the person who shot was really vicious, not only was the method cruel, but he also killed people when he saw them, even the baby who was a few months old.

kept turning over the corpses, and the tragic scenes kept appearing in front of him, and Chu Zhen gradually felt very remorseful. He had a feeling that it was he who took the two seeds in the strange flower and angered the people behind him, causing the slaughter of Iron Ridge Town. In other words, it was Chu Zhen who indirectly killed them.

"No matter who committed the murder, I swear that I must kill him and pay tribute to the innocent souls who died in vain. ”

Secretly determined, Chu Zhen continued to rummage, and it didn't take long to search for the corpses in the room, but he didn't see Qu Feng.

Slightly relieved, Chu Zhen walked out of the door and looked towards the room where the other people were, and they didn't seem to find anything for the time being.

Without much pause, Chu Zhen immediately walked into a room that no one had searched yet.

Not long after arriving here, Long Yixuan and Sima Qingkong walked in, and the two of them also didn't notice it.

The three of them rummaged in the room, and when there were only a dozen corpses left in the room, Chu Zhen's movements suddenly froze, and a look of shock and anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Long Yixuan and Sima Qingkong walked over and took a look, their expressions also froze instantly, and what appeared in their eyes was Qu Feng's corpse.

Qu Fengyuan stared at his eyes, obviously unable to believe the facts that happened in front of him until he died.

"Senior Brother Qu. ”

Chu Zhen thought softly, and a raging anger ignited in his heart. He didn't get along with Qu Feng for a long time, but he didn't have a bad impression of him. Moreover, the two of them had just made friends, Chu Zhen thought that he would have one more help in Cloud Gate, but he didn't want Qu Feng to die here.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Jing and Yu Hanyi also walked in.

"You ......"

As soon as they stepped into the door, Jing and his entourage saw Chu Zhen and the three of them stunned, and they were about to ask, but they followed their gaze and saw Qu Feng's corpse.
