Chapter 42: Nine Killings

It was night, the stars were shining, the full moon was flawless, and today, it seemed that it was rare to see the full moon, and the bright and clear light sprinkled on the world, making this starry night full of infinite poetry.

Lying on the bed, staring at the night sky and the moon, Liu Yiguan did not have the heart to fall asleep, today, he has experienced too many things, whether it is meeting Zhao Xihu or the mysterious figure in front of the house, they are all haunted by Liu Yi's soul.

Raising his head, except for Lu Zhan and Xiao Luo, who were on their knees, the rest of them were sleeping on their pillows, sitting up, with their backs to the window, and opposite was Yingluo, who was sleeping quietly alone, with a quiet expression, which made people unbearable to disturb.

The breeze outside the window blew into the window, blowing Liu Yiguan's messy long hair, accompanied by the occasional sound of insects, which made Liu Yi's mind feel a little confused in the silence.

Lonely and bowed his head, Liu Yiguan's expression was calm, Qinghui reflected his face, with ripples, at this moment, loneliness welled up in his heart, abruptly, he had an urge to cry.

"Are you awake?" A voice fell into his ears, Liu Yiguan looked up to the side, Lu Zhan, who was sitting cross-legged, had already opened his eyes, but in order not to disturb others, he didn't make any moves, just sat quietly cross-legged and stared at Liu Yiguan.

"Can't sleep." It was a very simple three words, but it revealed Liu Yiguan's heart at this moment, opened the futon, Liu Yiguan put on his shoes, and held a simple coat and a light shawl on his shoulder.

"Your mind is in turmoil." Lu Zhan said lightly, pointing directly at his heart.

"It's because my heart is very chaotic that I want to go out for a walk...... Liu Yiguan replied lightly, and walked directly to the door, before opening the door, Liu Yiguan turned his head to look at Lu Zhan.

"Senior brother, do you think that after the change, people will discard the things that they can't forget before?"

"Maybe, maybe for yourself, maybe for others, as for how, only the result can show everything." Lu Zhan was silent for a moment, then nodded back.

Liu Yiguan didn't say anything more, opened the door and walked out, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

"It's good to let the little junior brother's heart be quiet, but where did Mo Hua go? I haven't seen him since dinner. Xiao Luo, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the two quilts that had been opened on the bed, and couldn't help but say.

"Mohua's mind is the same as that of the little junior brother, which is unpredictable......" Que Yue sat up suddenly, it seemed that today was destined to be his sleepless night.

"No matter what, they are all our junior brothers!" Lu Zhan spoke in a condensed voice, and the room fell into silence again.

On the immortal steps, Liu Yiguan, who was dressed in a coat, stepped down aimlessly, ascending the immortal steps, this is his second time to ascend today, and it is also the second time in three years, but strangely, there is no such curiosity in his heart.

On both sides of the Ascending Immortal Steps, the jungle is dense, and the dewdrops that condense into water are swaying on the grass, as if they can drip at any time, unconsciously, Liu Yiguan has reached the first layer of the Ascending Immortal Steps, although it is late at night, but Liu Yiguan is still not sleepy.

Suddenly, a white light came from a distance, Liu Yiguan was suddenly startled, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to attach to Qingfeng behind him, but suddenly realized that his Qingfeng sword was forgotten in the house, and the only thing on his body was the extremely cherished wooden sword.

At this time, the white cat was already in front of Liu Yiguan, and before he had time to make any defense, Bai Mang hit his chest, and the soft feeling made Liu Yiguan stunned, and subconsciously looked at Bai Mang on his chest, that soft feeling......

A snow-white tanuki came into view, with a pair of amber cat eyes, sharp claws, two sharp teeth with a gentle glow, and the cat's face showed excitement and excitement.

"It's you, are you hungry? But I don't have anything to eat......" The tanuki climbed onto Liu Yiguan's shoulder along his clothes, and licked Liu Yiguan's neck very affectionately, the itching sensation came from his neck, Liu Yiguan tilted his head slightly, and showed a slight smile on his face.

"I remember there's a waterhole not far away, go there and catch two fish for you to eat!" Liu Yiguan suddenly recalled that there was a waterhole in the distance in front of the main peak of the Heavenly Immortals again, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now he remembered that it was not abrupt.

The mood also became sunny because of the presence of this snow-white civet cat, Liu Yiguan smiled forward, and through a dense forest, the waterhole came into his eyes.

However, what surprised him was that there were other people on the side of the pool, and when the third watch came to the waterhole in the middle of the night, Liu Yiguan couldn't help frowning, but he never thought of himself.

"Meow ......" abruptly, the snow-white hair of the civet cat on Liu Yiguan's shoulder actually exploded, and the pair of pupils were erected strangely, staring at the distance extremely nervously, and the direction where it was located was the place where the sound was just heard.

Hearing the cat's meow, the sound suddenly disappeared, and the unhurried sound slowly came out.

"It's a good thing, it's a wild cat! But it's a pity that the civet cat actually entered Tianxian Mountain, but it is extremely difficult to find it. This voice carried a hint of regret, but in Liu Yiguan's eyes, the tanuki on his shoulder was still vigilant, and there was no intention of slackening.

"There are no outsiders here, tell me, who are you?" Another voice came out, and such words made Liu Yiguan suddenly vigilant, looking left and right, and staring his gaze into an extremely hidden grass not far away.

At this moment, by the waterhole, several people in black are confronting each other, but there is only one person facing each other, the black scarf is masked, the face is not clear, the burly body and the sword behind it prove the identity of this person, it seems that he is the leader of a killer organization.

"Who are you? Why does it appear in the Heavenly Immortal Gate? One of the four black-clothed people stepped out, staring at the black-clothed man in front of him coldly, but he didn't make a move, this person gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, this is an intuition cultivated over the years, he has always believed in his intuition, so before meeting today, he specially brought his cultivated henchmen here.

"Three days ago, I said goodbye to Changkong Peak, you are not small!" The masked man snorted coldly, he met at Changkong Peak three days ago, and met this person, who seemed to be an elder of a certain sect, in order not to cause more trouble, and because this person was strong, once he fought with him, he would definitely alarm the strong man of Changkong Peak, so he didn't make a move on him, but he never thought that this person would ask about his identity, and he didn't pay attention to it, but this person was indomitable and made a condition, which he couldn't refuse, so he agreed, but he never met like this today.

"Is it these people behind you? Although the strength is good, in my eyes it is nothing more than that. The masked man glanced at the few people behind the black-clothed man in front of him, sneered disdainfully, and the murderous aura of indulgence came out of his body, the majestic killing intent was mixed with the heavy spiritual power and coercion, and the expressions in the eyes of the four people changed at the same time, such a murderous aura, unless it was tempered by endless blood and fire, it could only be formed, although it was quite mixed, it could make the faces of the four people change.

"Who the hell are these people? What the hell are you going to do here? Liu Yiguan, who was lying in the grass, looked solemn, and the words just now were all heard by him, as if he was aware of the suppressed killing thoughts, the tanuki curled up, obviously extremely frightened, and finally hid in Liu Yiguan's arms, intentionally or unintentionally touching the wooden sword on his chest.

Suddenly, the light in the masked man's eyes flickered, and the killing intent suddenly converged, and he said calmly.

"You know my identity enough, but before that, tell me your name!"

"I am a member of the Yulang faction, and I came to Tianxian Gate just to find a spirit cat, but that spirit cat has been lost, and I didn't plan to stay in Tianxian Gate anymore, but because it is a disciple of Tianxian Gate, we can only wait for the competition before making plans." After the man in black was silent for a while, he suddenly took off the black scarf on his face, revealing an old face, it was an old man, this old man's face fell in Liu Yiguan's eyes, and vaguely, Liu Yiguan felt a little familiar, this old man was indeed one of the sects in the immortal cultivation world invited by the Tianxian Sect, and he just glanced at it during the competition, and he didn't care, but he didn't know if it was a person from the Yulang faction.

"I don't know your honor!" The old man in black clasped his fists and bowed.

"Hey...... Nine kills! The masked man smiled fiercely, and that laughter contained infinite domineering intent, which was extremely terrifying.

"Nine kills?" The old man in black frowned slightly, pondered for a moment as if he remembered something, his face suddenly changed, shock appeared on his face, and he spoke in horror.

"Nine Killings?"

"Oh? Thinking that you, an elder of a second-rate sect, even know about the existence of the Nine Killings Hall, it seems that my reputation of the Nine Killings Hall is not weak! The masked man walked by the edge of the pool with his hands behind his back, his eyes unsure of whether he was happy or angry.

"I didn't expect it to be the elder of the Nine Killing Hall who came in person! The old man was stunned, and the previous agreement was to stop here, let's go! The old man in black's face kept changing, and finally turned around and walked into the distance.

The masked man did not stop him, staring sideways at the four of them leaving, but slowly said a word.

"Nine Killings' Mission! Just start, never stop! Wish...... You keep that in mind. ”

The old man in black showed a dejected expression on his face, stopped, exhaled for a while, turned around and took out a scroll from his arms, and threw it at the masked man.

"Then ask the Nine Killings Hall to bring back that spirit cat, this is the picture scroll of that spirit cat, and my Yulang faction will naturally give it a heavy gift afterwards!"

"I hope the Yulang faction won't break its promise, otherwise...... Hum! Taking the scroll, the masked man did not open it, but stared coldly at the old man in black.

"Certainly, definitely......" The old man in black nodded again and again, and led several of his henchmen into the dark depths of the dense forest.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me!" The masked man did not leave or open the scroll, but waited quietly by the edge of the pool, until another man in black galloped from the dense forest not far away.

The man in black nodded, did not speak, and followed the masked man's movements.

"Follow along!" Liu Yiguan's eyes flickered slightly, glanced at the black-clothed figure that was almost disappearing, gritted his teeth and followed the footsteps.
