The night is thick, and the winter day in the New Year is extremely dark, except for the sporadic faint lights, most of the forest city is pitch black, and it is difficult to see the five fingers when you stretch out your hand.

Dark clouds covered the cold moon, as if a heavy snow was brewing, and suddenly, a black shadow swept over a certain roof, like a gust of wind, silently resting on a certain ancient ink tree.

A pair of eyes flashed with cold light in the night, and from time to time there were murderous intentions.

Below the ancient ink is the courtyard wall, although it is located in the city, but the city lord Sulai likes to be quiet, and in order to highlight his identity, there are no other buildings around this courtyard wall.

The city guards who were on vigil hid in a small room and whispered, after today's events, they were completely chilled by Qi Wu, and they also wanted to find a suitable opportunity to quit the city guard.

"Xiao Qi, why did a shadow pass by just now?"

"Where's the shadow?"

The city guard named Xiao Qi glanced out the window, then shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, don't be so serious, we are just ants in his eyes, so why do we have to be loyal?"

"Hey, your sister-in-law has been buried for a long time, and she just took this opportunity to quit. The man surnamed Liu sighed, and then said with a worried face: "So many of us quit together, I'm afraid he won't agree!"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "What can you do if you don't agree? It's a big deal, if our brothers go to other places, I don't believe that this Nuo Da Xingyu can still cover the sky with one hand?"

The decoration of the City Lord's Mansion is not luxurious, and there are very few family members and subordinates, and the shadows in the night dance in the wind like fallen leaves, without making the slightest sound.

Finally, at the door of a certain room, the dark shadow stopped, but before he could come to probe carefully, a loud cry suddenly came from the house?

"Who?"

A cold light flashed in the black shadow's eyes, and he immediately rushed towards the house, just a simple kick, the door of the house suddenly shattered, and Qi Wu also walked out of the house at this time.

"How daring!"

Qi Wu laughed angrily, although the person in front of him was dressed in black and covered his face, he still recognized it as Mo Chengqian, he didn't expect that the person he was looking for hadn't come back yet, but Mo Chengqian came to the door first.

Yes, the man in black is Mo Chengqian, since he has decided to kill Qi Wu, it is naturally better to do it earlier, and he has the thunder burst bead left by his master in his hand, even if he can't kill Qi Wu, it is still possible to retreat.

Qi Wu still wanted to speak, but Mo Chengqian had already rushed forward, and in his body, the power of the three elephants suddenly exploded, converging in his arm.

"Get out of here!"

Qi Wu shouted angrily and met it with a punch, only to hear a bang, and a wave of qi spread in an instant, and the whole room was reduced to ruins.

"You are"

Qi Wu looked shocked, he finally knew how Mo Chengqian could block his punch, because he was not an orthodox qi refiner at all, but a body refiner, and the reason why he was able to block his attack was because the opponent's physical strength was strong.

However, before Qi Wu finished speaking, a seven-cut whip made of fine iron appeared in Mo Chengqian's hand.

Syllable!

A breaking sound sounded suddenly in the night.

Under Mo Chengqian's powerful power, the iron whip killed Qi Wu with a sound of breaking through the air.

Qi Wu's complexion changed slightly, his toes were a little, and he retreated towards the back, and at the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand.

Boom!

The iron whip returned in vain, but the powerful aftermath made a big tree turn into powder in an instant.

Mo Chengqian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this iron whip to be so powerful, and with his powerful strength, it was like a tiger with wings.

"Looks like we'll have to find a whip after this time!"

Mo Chengqian muttered to himself in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and he hit three whips in just a few breaths, but there was no whip method, his attacks seemed to be chaotic, and he was easily dodged by Qi Wu.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the others, but no one dared to approach, after all, they could fight with the city lord, and they would only be killed in seconds when they went up, and they were already disappointed in Qi Wu, so naturally they would not rush up stupidly.

But when he said Qi Wu, he was shocked in his heart, Mo Chengqian was not only a body refiner, but also his strength was comparable to that of the pulse period, and even he didn't dare to resist the power of a punch.

In a short period of time, the two exchanged several moves, and most of the city lord's mansion was affected and turned into ruins.

Seeing the iron whip coming, Qi Wu's eyes flashed, and he immediately threw out a large net, netting most of the iron whip.

Qi Wu shook vigorously, and the iron whip of the big network was suddenly like a wave, and at the same time, a powerful Xuan force went straight to Mo Chengqian along the iron net.

Mo Chengqian's face changed slightly, but he was not reluctant, after all, this was also an opportunity for him.

"Star Shattering Empty Fist!"

Mo Chengqian shouted angrily, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Qi Wu, approaching him, the qi in his body exploded, and the power of the three elephants was all mobilized on his arm.

Qi Wu's eyes shrank, and he retreated without thinking, but Mo Chengqian used the Psychedelic Illusion to increase his speed greatly, and he caught up with Qi Wu again in a short time.

"I'd like to see how strong you are!"

Qi Wu shouted angrily, and the Xuan Power around his body surged, only to see his hands waving in front of him, and the Xuan Power actually condensed three Xuan Li long swords.

"Boom!"

Qi Wu clicked the long sword, and the three long swords immediately killed towards Mo Chengqian, and there was a violent aura emanating from the sword body.

Boom!

Bang, bang

The three Xuanli long swords exploded in an instant, and a violent force wanted to destroy everything.

In the night, this sound spread far away, and the entire City Lord's Mansion was affected, and some people didn't even have time to escape, and were directly torn apart by this violent force.

The sky was full of smoke and dust blocking his vision, Qi Wu squinted his eyes slightly, and his soul power probed into the smoke and dust, in his opinion, Mo Chengqian should die even if he was strong, after all, these three Xuanli long swords condensed seventy percent of his Xuanli power.

Sou!

A faint sound of breaking the air came, and if it weren't for the silence at this time, Qi Wu wouldn't have heard it at all.

"What's that?"

Qi Wu's heart tightened, he couldn't even notice what was flying towards him.

A trace of panic flashed in Qi Wu's eyes, and he mobilized all his soul power and pressed towards the surroundings overwhelmingly, only then did he find out.

It was a long black needle, which merged with the whole night, and he would not have discovered it if it weren't for his soul power.

It's a pity that when he found the black long needle, it was too late, Mo Chengqian had a mental calculation or not, and the time to sacrifice the black long needle was just right, and by the time Qi Wu found out, it was already too late.

"Poison needle?"

The black long needle arrived in front of Qi Wu, flashing with a terrifying ghostly light, Qi Wu punched out with a palm, and the palm print wanted to block the black long needle, and at the same time, there was also a layer of mysterious power barrier around his palm, which should be able to block the black long needle.

Kiss!

With a crisp sound, the black long needle penetrated the palm print and shot directly into Qi Wu's palm, and then a surging cold qi instantly erupted and devoured Qi Wu.

"The city lord is dead, run!"

In the distance, someone was paying attention to the battle situation, and after discovering that Qi Wu had turned into a humanoid ice sculpture and was broken into several pieces by the man in black, he immediately screamed in horror and fled into the distance.

Mo Chengqian naturally ignored them, searched the City Lord's Mansion, and then blended into the night, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived outside the Cloud Treasure Pavilion, and entered the guest room directly through the window.

The winter snow drifted away, and the thick snow covered Lin City, and the city lord's mansion that had been reduced to ruins was completely covered.

However, the people of Lincheng already knew about last night's movements, and after learning that Qi Wu was dead, everyone applauded, and at the same time they were curious about who the black-clothed man who killed Qi Wu was?

"Moba?"

Many people thought of the demonic Mo Chengqian, but then they all shook their heads, after all, although Mo Chengqian was evil, it was impossible to kill Qi Wu, otherwise why didn't he do it during the day?

Of course, they will only be happy about Qi Wu's death, and they will not track down the whereabouts of the murderer too much, and the same, when it was close to noon, Lin Cheng had already recovered to its previous appearance, except for a very few people who were talking about Qi Wu, most people began to prepare for the New Year.

Yun Yang was also shocked when he learned the news, thinking of Mo Chengqian secretly leaving through the window last night, he had an amazing guess in his heart.

But what he couldn't understand was, what means did Mo Chengqian use to kill Qi Wu?

Yun Ya thought of Chen Shaojian's death, and also knew that Mo Chengqian had some secrets that she didn't know, but she believed that one day Mo Chengqian would tell her.

The Cloud Pavilion has opened again, and after the previous events, many people have also remembered the name of the Cloud Treasure Pavilion, which can be regarded as an invisible publicity for them.

And what is ironic is that many young women actually come to the Cloud Treasure Pavilion in twos and threes, and they don't buy anything, they just walk back and forth inside.

Later, under the questioning of the waiter, I learned that these women were all here to find Mo Chengqian, and they actually admired Mo Chengqian because of the previous incident, and wanted to see the truth.

Mo Chengqian was also stunned when he knew about this, looking at Yun Ya's obviously ill-intentioned expression, he waved at the waiter and said, "If anyone looks for me again, they will say that I left!"

The waiter left, and a satisfied smile appeared on Yun Ya's face.

The next time became very ordinary, except for eating with Yun Ya and her father, Mo Chengqian stayed in the room to study occult and mind cultivation at all other times.

Although his cultivation has not increased much these days, his strength has increased a lot, at least now, if he is against Zhang Fei, he can also kill the other party just by relying on the means of a qi refiner.

On the first day of the new year, Mo Chengqian received two gifts, one was given to him by Yun Yang, and Yun Ya also had one, which could be regarded as accepting Mo Chengqian and acquiescing to the fact that he and Yun Ya were together.

The second gift was given to him by Yun Ya, the clothes that were sewn overnight, looking at Yun Ya's red eyes, Mo Chengqian felt ashamed.

According to custom, on the first day of the new year, the Cloud Treasure Pavilion is not open, and the guys and waiters in the store are no longer there.

When Mo Chengqian, Yun Yang, and Yun Ya's father and daughter were eating, someone suddenly knocked on the door below, which made the three of them stunned, after all, they didn't have acquaintances in Lin Cheng, how could anyone visit at this time?

The three of them went downstairs together, and after opening the door, there was a middle-aged man standing outside the door, wearing a cloth coat and looking polite.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Mo Gongzi?" The middle-aged man nodded slightly at Yun Yang, and then he said?" Mo Chengqian looked puzzled, this middle-aged man's breath was calm, not to mention that it was also the Xuandan period, he didn't remember that he knew each other.

"In Xialin City, the city lord Qian Cai, don't blame Mo Gongzi for his sudden visit!" Qian Cai arched his hand, his expression was a little unnatural, after all, whether it was in terms of cultivation, identity or age, Mo Chengqian deserved him to visit in person.

"Qian City Lord?" Mo Chengqian was stunned for a moment, isn't the city lord Qi Wu?

"The Qian City Lord is here, it is really a blessing for my Cloud Treasure Pavilion, Qian City Lord, please come in quickly!"

Yun Yang was the first to react, so he hurriedly welcomed Qian Cai in.

At this time, Mo Chengqian came back to his senses, it seemed that after Qi Wu's death, this Qian Cai was the new city lord, but why did the other party visit him for no reason?

Yun Yang took the money to the third floor, and immediately gave Yun Ya a look, and the two of them retired, he could see that the new city lord was running for Mo Chengqian, and there was no malice.

After Yun Yang and the others left, Qian Cai's expression gradually returned to normal.

"Master Mo, the matter of Qi Wu is already known to the Lord of the Ye Mansion, you are okay, the Lord of the Ye Mansion is relieved, and I will personally deal with the people related to Qi Wu next, and I will definitely not disappoint the Master of Mo. ”

Hearing the three words of the Ye Mansion Master, Mo Chengqian's heart suddenly dawned, it seemed that Qian Cai had investigated all these things clearly before coming, otherwise he would not have chosen to visit him.

In fact, Mo Chengqian guessed wrong, the reason why Qian Cai came to visit Mo Chengqian at this time as the lord of a city was completely his wife's intention, because his wife felt that the reason why Qian Cai was able to become the lord of the city and glorify his ancestors was entirely because of Mo Chengqian's relationship, so he was forced to come.

Qian Cai has always been convinced of his wife's vision, but looking at Mo Chengqian, who is harmless to people and animals in front of him, he really can't connect it with the mysterious person who killed Qi Wu.

"That's it, that's it, it's already here anyway, it doesn't matter if he's a mysterious person or not, it's not wrong to have a good relationship!" Qian Cai thought about it, and his heart was much more comfortable.

Mo Chengqian is not good at talking, especially with strangers, and Qian Cai and other scholars are also a little wooden, which makes the atmosphere a little depressed for a while, and finally, Qian Cai said a few words of greeting, and then got up and left.

Although Qian Cai is gone, his words and deeds as the new city lord naturally get the attention of many people, and when he learned that he came to the Cloud Treasure Pavilion on the first day of the new year, many people couldn't help but guess the relationship between the two, which also made the Cloud Treasure Pavilion much smoother in the days to come, and even became the first chamber of commerce in Lincheng.

Of course, these are all later words, and how Qian Cai deals with people related to Qi Wu, Mo Chengqian is not interested.

For the next ten days, Mo Chengqian practiced with peace of mind without leaving home, and it was not until less than a month before the opening of the school that the two of them left for Fucheng.

Yun Yang naturally gave Yun Ya a thousand instructions, and at the same time, he also vaguely proposed to let Yun Ya and Mo Chengqian break off the relationship, after all, he was very pleasing to the eye when he saw Mo Baxia.

"Cheng Qian, do you really want to go to the royal capital?"

On the way to Fucheng, Yun Ya suddenly asked.

"Well, anyway, I have to know who my parents were, and what happened back then?" Mo Chengqian nodded firmly.

"Then we don't necessarily have to participate in the battles of the various provinces, we can also go to the royal capital to investigate?" Yun Ya's face showed a trace of worry, the battles of the various provinces were all in the pulse period without exception, even if Mo Chengqian broke through the pulse period at that time, it was also the existence of the bottom of it, and he might encounter danger.

After all, the struggle between the provinces can involve a series of issues such as resource allocation, and the competition is very fierce, and dead people are commonplace.

Moreover, the people who can stand out from the various provinces and participate in the battle are all the best among the geniuses of the various provinces, even if Mo Chengqian has the ability to leapfrog the challenge, it is also full of danger.

"Although I don't know who they are, but to be able to know Zao Wou-Ki is not low, I am afraid that ordinary people do not know about the events of twenty years ago, only by going to the royal capital on behalf of the academy can I get in touch with the powerful people of the royal capital, so that I can inquire about what I want to know. Mo Chengqian sighed.

Yun Ya didn't say anything more when she heard this, since Mo Chengqian had already made such a decision, she could only support it silently.

A few days later, the two returned to the academy, Mo Chengqian had been precipitating in Lin Cheng for so long, and his cultivation had already been stabilized, so after returning to the academy, he went straight to the nine-story rooftop.

Yun Ya went to find Wang Jing first, and found that the other party had not come back yet, so she went to the ninth-floor rooftop to cultivate, she didn't want to become Mo Chengqian's oil bottle.

There are very few people on the nine-story rooftop, especially on the lower floors, there are almost no people, but there are scattered people on the sixth floor and above, these people are all people who plan to participate in the battles of various provinces, so they naturally have a lot of strength at this time.

Mo Chengqian directly entered the seventh layer, although it takes a hundred Xuan Crystals to cultivate here every day, but the effect is also very obvious, the Xuan Qi of the seventh layer is rich and has turned into a faint mist, even if he is not lucky, these Xuan Qi will drill into the body.

One hundred Xuanjing may be a lot for an ordinary disciple, but here Mo Chengqian is just a drop in the dime, he directly prepaid three thousand Xuanjing, which means that he can cultivate on the nine-layer rooftop for a month.

After Mo Chengqian and Yun Ya returned to the academy, disciples came back one after another, and in the new year, most of them were full of fighting spirit and wanted to make greater progress.

At the same time, the news of the battle between the various provinces also slowly spread among the schools, and many Heavenly Rank masters began to enter the ninth-floor rooftop retreat.

Of course, not everyone can go to the royal capital to fight on behalf of the academy, and the most precondition is to enter the heavenly list, which means that it must become the pulse period.

Secondly, the number of people who go to the royal capital is only ten, and according to the practice of previous years, the top ten on the heavenly list represent the institutions to go to the royal capital.

However, before that, the academy will hold an internal screening to give the other disciples a chance, as long as they can defeat one of the top ten, they can replace the other party and go to the royal capital.
