Chapter 206: The Black Hand
Xiao Tong's eyes trembled, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qin Lin's arm.
"What the hell is going on?"
The father and daughter may have the same heart, and Xiao Tong's eyes are becoming more and more red.
Qin Lin led her towards the state lord's mansion, avoiding the nobles who were kneeling on the ground.
"Your father, your father is dead. Qin Lin said.
Xiao Tong stopped, but only after a short moment, she maintained her normal pace and continued to move forward.
"I guessed it would be like this......" she reached out to wipe away the tears that oozed from the corners of her eyes.
"Keep calm, you have to hold up the Xiao family. "Qin Lin.
"I don't have any cultivation anymore, how can I hold on. ”
The sound is getting softer and softer.
Xiao Tong seemed to be talking to herself, and her voice could only be heard by herself.
Qin Lin: "I just hit Yuan Yan's Yuan Shen, within a year or two, his injuries will be difficult to recover, and the power of the Xiao clan has taken root in the Plateau Prefecture for hundreds of years, as long as you know how to operate the power of the Xiao clan, even if you have no cultivation, you can support the Xiao clan." ”
“......”
Xiao Tong didn't say anything more.
She knew that she had to stay calm at this time, and even if her heart was extremely painful, she still had to act as if nothing had happened on the surface.
Come to the front of the house.
As low-level soldiers, the government soldiers naturally don't know about the state lord.
They had just seen what was happening on the street from afar.
At this time, Xiao Tong approached, and they recognized Xiao Tong even more.
Immediately, kneel down to pay homage.
"Welcome Sister Xiao Tong back. ”
"No courtesy. ”
Xiao Tong opened his mouth stiffly.
The soldiers didn't think much about it, opened the door of the mansion, and let Xiao Tong enter.
Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good, now there are many people in the government who want to take refuge in the Yuan family, and there are even traitors planted by the Yuan family. ”
"I know!"
Xiao Tong is very clear about the process of the state governor's office.
In the state lord's mansion, only an internal official like Xiang Chang Sui, who is completely dependent on the Xiao Mansion, is truly loyal to the Xiao family.
And like the government soldiers and attendants, although they are nominally people from the state lord's mansion, they are just here to mix a bite to eat, a certain position, and they are not absolutely loyal.
At this time in the mansion, in fact, only the internal officials learned of Xiao Tu's death.
They are on pins and needles.
They must understand that if the news leaks and the Yuan army attacks, they will be all finished.
So they all held their breath and acted as usual as much as possible, silently.
When Qin Lin and Xiao Tong walked towards the main hall of the central hall, cold sweat oozed from the forehead of an internal official, and he rushed forward to stop him.
"Who, the main hall is heavy, and no one is allowed to enter without being summoned by the state lord. ”
The internal officer looked at the two men in fur coats and dressed as hunters, and felt very strange.
But since these two people can come all the way here from the gate, there must be a token.
Therefore, the internal official did not have any doubts about the identities of Qin Lin and Xiao Tong, but he was worried that the news that Xiao Tu was dead had been leaked, so he had to stop it.
In the past, Xiao Tu would stay in the main hall and be regarded as a diligent state lord, so officials at all levels and clan representatives from various cities would come directly to the main hall to ask for Xiao Tu.
Today, the internal officials have sent several waves of officials who have come to see them, and they are really very weak-minded.
Qin Lin could also see the weakness of the internal official in front of him, and deliberately raised the corners of his mouth and sneered: "The state lord is gone, what else do you summon?"
Hearing this, the internal official shuddered.
As the saying goes, a dynasty is a courtier.
If the news leaks, the Xiao family will inevitably be overthrown by the Yuan family, and these Xiao family's internal officials will also be finished.
So the internal official immediately became annoyed and said angrily: "Bastard, presumptuous, who made rumors, the state lord is good, you dare to lose the state lord!"
The internal officials were a little exaggerated in excitement.
Xiao Tong took a deep breath: "You are loyal, thank you." ”
Hearing Xiao Tong's voice, the internal official was stunned.
The voice sounded familiar to him.
He looked at it more closely, and couldn't help but ooze tears from his eyes.
"Three, third sister ......"
The internal officials are like looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to Xiao Tong.
Get down on your knees and give your hands.
"Third sister, you can count it back, Lord Governor, he ......"
Neiguan Beishan was speechless.
Xiao Tong bent down to support the internal official, "I know everything, I'm late to come back." ”
"It's not too late, now that you're back, you're the rightful heir to the throne. "It's like seeing a new hope.
Xiao Tong knows where his responsibility lies.
She asked, "How did my dad die, and why did it happen so suddenly?"
"Assassinated......"
The expression of hope that had just risen in the internal official was once again reduced to sadness.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Tong remained calm, she couldn't show vulnerability.
The internal official shook his head: "The subordinates don't know, but it shouldn't be from our Plateau Prefecture." ”
"Why do you think so?" Xiao Tong asked.
The internal official stood up, "The third sister will come and see with me." ”
The internal officer led Xiao Tong and Qin Lin towards the main hall.
The doors of the main hall were closed.
When the internal official pushed the door in, Qin Lin's gaze poked into the main hall, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
"It's a fire bullet trick!"
Last night, Qin Lin met with Xiao Tu in this hall.
He was deeply impressed by this golden and luxurious hall.
And now, it's still luxurious, but it's also a mess, apparently after a short but intense fight.
The jade pillars in the main hall, the floor tiles, and the golden chair where Xiao Tu sat last night all had traces of burning flames.
Moreover, there is a faint smell of burnt burning in the air.
Also welcome...
Qin Lin drove the Yuan Shen to perceive the surroundings, and his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily.
"It's the black hunting wolf again, and it's his breath again!"
Qin Lin was really angry.
At this time, the internal official stretched out his hand and pointed to a jade pillar in the main hall, "Third sister, look, this is the word left by the assassin." ”
Xiao Tong approached the jade pillar.
Just look at a few words engraved on the cylinder - Changzhou, Huan, Spring, Language, Danger.
"What does that mean?"
Xiao Tong looked at the words on the pillar and looked dazed.
The official said: "My subordinates can't understand it, but since Changzhou is mentioned, it must be that the assassin of the state lord Da Rao is a native of Changzhou in the south." ”
At this time, Qin Lin was still perceiving the aura around him.
He was sure that the assassin who killed Xiao Tu was the Black Hunting Wolf.
It's just that he wonders, how can the black hunting wolf have the strength to defeat Xiao Tu in the Martial King Realm?
"Could it be that he has already broken through the Martial King Realm?or does he have other helpers?, but there is only his aura here......"
Qin Lin thought as he looked around, trying to find more clues.
Xiao Tong called to Qin Lin, "That person, take a look at these words, can you see who killed my father?"
Xiao Tong still didn't know what Qin Lin's name was, so he could only call him "that person".
Qin Lin turned around and came to the jade pillar.
Just by looking at it, the hairs on his body were already standing on end, and his scalp was even more numb.
"Damn it!"
Abrupt rage.
Qin Lin immediately turned around.
He knew that it was left behind by the black wolf.
There are two meanings.
First, it was to remind Qin Lin that something had happened in Changzhou, and Su Huan, Chunfen and Lin Chuyu were in danger.
The second is to provoke, pointing to him that he is about to attack Changzhou, so that Qin Lin can stop it if he has the ability.
Between the two, Qin Lin leaned towards the former.
Because Chunfen trusts the black hunting wolf enough, this makes Qin Lin also believe that the black hunting wolf will not make a move against Chunfen.
"Isn't it that the black hunting wolf was ordered to come here to assassinate Xiao Tu, he knew that I was also here, and deliberately left this message to remind me to return to Changzhou as soon as possible?"
Thinking of this, Qin Lin didn't dare to hesitate.
It's just that Xiao Tong immediately caught up, "That person, where are you going?"
"Changzhou. ”
Qin Lin said simply.
"I'll go too, I'll avenge my father. Xiao Tong thought that Qin Lin went to Changzhou to avenge Xiao Tu.
Qin Lin started and leaped up, leaving the last sentence: "Yuan Yan is seriously injured, he doesn't dare to mess around easily, you stay here and wait for the Xiao clan to return to defend and stabilize the situation." ”
When the voice fell, Qin Lin's figure had completely disappeared.
Xiao Tong couldn't help but be shocked.
She didn't have time to ask Qin Lin's name, nor did she have time to ask him when he would come back.
Qin Lin leaped in mid-air, no longer hiding his cultivation, and fully unleashed the strength of the Martial King Realm to rush out of Lingfeng City, cut through the cedar forest, and headed towards the border between the Plateau State and the Western Continent.
However, at this moment, a strange laugh suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Haha......"
This laughter frightened Qin Lin.
You know, at this time he is flying in mid-air, unless the person who is laughing is also in mid-air, otherwise the voice cannot be so clear.
Qin Lin turned his gaze to look around.
There are no cherry blossoms except for the cold wind and snow
"Who?"
Qin Lin asked angrily.
"You're in a hurry, aren't you?" The voice seemed to come from Qin Lin's face, and it was extremely clear.
"Who the hell are you?, is the black hunting wolf under your orders?" Qin Lin asked.
"The black hunting wolf is really a traitor, he actually secretly left you a message, but it doesn't matter, he has been taught a lesson by me, I cut off one of his arms, and it can be regarded as revenge for Xiao Tu, that old thing. ”
"Bastard!"
Qin Lin was even more furious.
"Haha, don't be angry, if you start to get angry now, when you return to Changzhou, you won't be angry to death......"
The voice was mocking.
Qin Lin asked angrily again, "Who are you?"
Qin Lin didn't perceive the slightest breath of the other party, let alone martial arts.
The other party smiled: "You are really a noble person, we met three years ago, have you forgotten?"
"...... three years ago"
Qin Lin's thoughts reviewed.
Suddenly, there was horror on his face.
He really forgot about a terrible guy - Yuan Lie!
No, exactly, it's a phantom.
Qin Lin froze in mid-air, gritting his teeth.
"It's you!
"You finally remembered, I'm really curious, how can you forget me? Do you think that after I left three years ago, I won't come back?"
"You arranged all this? burn Huai'an City, kidnap my wife, and now kill Xiao Tu!"
Qin Lin had to realize that the Phantom Clan was operating a big game of chess.
Yuan Lie said: "Xiao Tu didn't have to die, but who asked you to meddle in your business to help Xiao Tong lift the blood sacrifice?" Hehe, so, Xiao Tu was killed because of you, and you should be blamed for his death." ”
"Fuck your fart!" Qin Lin snorted angrily.
Yuan Lie disagreed, "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, anyway, your life won't be over in a long time!"
However, as a human race, you really impressed me, it only took three years, not only to complete the breakthrough of the martial king realm, but also to master the most profound sacrificial method, and the blood of the Luo Mang clan, you are the strongest human race I have ever seen, but I just hate the existence of strong people in the human race. ”
"You want to kill me?" Qin Lin secretly condensed his martial aura.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you now, I'm still waiting to see you become the supreme overlord of the Western Continent, don't let me down. ”
Yuan Lie used a mocking tone.
Qin Lin was angry and helpless.
At this time, he couldn't find Yuan Lie's true body at all, and he tended to be completely passive.
"Oh, yes!"
Yuan Lie spoke again: "Your actions should be faster, in three days, Qin Bai Luo Ke will go to Su Mansion and start his crazy killing." ”
"Qin Bailuo ......"
Qin Lin's heart trembled when he heard this name.
He must know that with the strength of the Qin Bai Luowu King Realm, no one in the Su family can resist it.
Even if Chunfen and Lin Chuyu had the cultivation of the martial arts realm, they would never be able to stop Qin Bailuo's power.
Without stopping, Qin Lin leaped forward frantically.
Three days would span more than 5,000 miles, which was already beyond the limit that Qin Lin could bear, but he tended to be passive in front of Yuan Lie, and there was no choice.
Yuan Lie's ridicule lingered in his ears all the time.
"Yes, that's it, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, haha......"
Yuan Lie smiled.
Qin Lin didn't pay any attention to him anymore and concentrated all his energy.
The whole ultra-extreme leap made Qin Lin fall into a state of exhaustion, but he only completed a journey of 1,500 miles, which was far from enough.
And just as it was about to collapse, the giant bear in the primordial god shook it.
Qin Lin originally had no mental understanding, but the shaking of the giant bear continued, which made Qin Lin very impatient.
"Have you had enough, I don't have time to play with you right now!"
Qin Lin was angry in the primordial gods.
The giant bear was also angry, and shook it even more.
Qin Lin raised his hand, and under the purple light, he waved his hand violently, almost throwing the giant bear out of his palm.
The giant bear's massive body fell to the ground.
With four hands and feet on the ground, he ran at great speed.
Seeing this, Qin Lin understood what the giant bear meant.
"Are you going to run on my back and let me rest?" Qin Lin asked.
The giant bear roared as it ran.
Qin Lin landed on the back of the giant bear.
I have to, the speed of running on four feet is really fast.
The giant bear was full of strength, and in the next few hours, it actually ran out of five hundred miles.
Although it frightened many people as it passed through villages and cities along the way, it also attracted many martial arts cultivators to try to kill it.
But it didn't stop, it always maintained its extreme speed, leaving those cultivators who tried to kill him out of reach.
"Okay, I've regained some energy. ”
Qin Lin stood up on the bear's back.
The giant bear was also tired, and then dispersed into countless purple points of light, returning to Qin Lin's Yuan Shen Zheng
Qin Lin continued to leap.
At this time, Yuan Lie's voice sounded in his ears again.
"You have a very well-behaved bear, but I advise you to keep your feet on the ground and go back to Changzhou by yourself, and if I see the giant bear come out again, I will kill it. ”
Yuan Lie obviously didn't want the giant bear to come out and disrupt the rules of his game.
Qin Lin ignored it.
There are still three thousand miles to go, and half of the three days have passed.
"Qin Lin, in fact, I can help you, I can let you return to Changzhou right now, as long as you promise me one thing. ”
Yuan Lie spoke again.
Qin Lin still ignored it.
Yuan Lie: "Actually, as long as you destroy the aura tree in the Lishan Cave, I will let you arrive in Changzhou right now, and I will also return your wife to you." ”
"Huh...... You're scared, aren't you? You're scared of the growth of the aura tree, aren't you?"
Qin Lin sneered coldly.
Spirits and illusions, the innate burden of death
So far, the growth of the Aura Tree is stronger than the Phantom Energy.
As long as the fruit on the aura tree completes the next evolution, it can fully crush the phantom race.
After all, at this time, the Phantom Clan had only completed Yuan Lie's body, and the aura had already begun to bear fruit.
Yuan Lie heard Qin Lin's ridicule, and also responded with a hint of ridicule: "I don't know whether to live or die in the human race, the war between my phantom race and the spirit, you human race is not qualified to participate in it at all, but you have to do it, since this is the case...... Then I might as well tell you what the price of recklessness is. ”
Yuan Lie came here and paused for a few minutes.
Qin Lin felt faintly uneasy, and his nerves tensed.
Just listening, Yuan Lie's voice said ruthlessly in his ears: "The price you have to bear is your wife, your sister Chunfen, as well as Su Huan and Lin Chuyu, as well as Wei Ying and Ruan Yu'er who are now on Lishan Mountain, they all have to be like Xiao Tong, turning into phantom mothers......"
"Bastard!"
Qin Lin was furious.
He guessed that it would be so.
Especially when he learned that the mastermind behind all the events was the Phantom Clan, he had already guessed that Kong Lingyu might have been sacrificed by blood and turned into a mother.
Yuan Lie said coldly: "You don't have a choice, either obey me, or watch everyone you care about die or be sacrificed by my blood!"
