Chapter 1163: Clue
"It's despicable!"
People are secretly scolding in their hearts.
However, when they saw Ji Lantian, who was secretly intercepted by Shang Zihuan and Shang Ziyuan, they already understood that Yang Xiao and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape today's situation.
After all, in everyone's hearts, Ji Lantian is Yang Xiao's biggest reliance!
"Hmph, Yang Xiao! Die!" At this moment, all the people who were hostile to Yang Xiao had excitement in their eyes.
Because, seeing a thorn in the flesh, they will be completely uprooted!
And seeing that the blades of the three dead soldiers were about to hit the vital points of Yang Xiao, Xue Linglong, and Xiao Lingfeng, all of a sudden I heard an incomparably ethereal sound in the void.
The sound of the harp, though it was only a melody, seemed to have some kind of powerful power, which made the hearts of those who heard the sound of the piano quiet down for a moment.
At the same time, it also made the three dead soldiers who were originally murderous stop inexplicably at this moment, and their eyes showed a blank look, as if they had forgotten where they were.
And at the moment when everyone was momentarily stagnant, they saw three spirit cranes appear out of thin air from the direction where the sound of the piano floated from.
The crane spread its wings and flew gracefully in the air, as if searching for something.
Soon, they seemed to have spotted the target. And at this moment, the sound of the piano sounded in the void again.
It's just that this time the sound of the piano is no longer ethereal, but has a solemn atmosphere.
Hearing the sound of the piano, I saw that the three spirit cranes suddenly retracted their wings, and then their beaks turned downward, swooping towards the crowd like flying arrows.
"What's the situation!" the crowd fled frantically.
And this escape, three sluggish figures suddenly appeared in the clearing.
They looked at them as blankly as the three dead soldiers, looking up at the three cranes that were swooping towards them, but they didn't react in the slightest.
Of course, all this happened in the light of light, and in just a moment, the three spirit cranes hit the three of them like sharp arrows.
"Bang bang bang!"
With three explosions, Tianhou, who had already reached the peak of the hundred-mile realm in these three realms, instantly turned into powder, and not even a single star of flesh and blood was left.
This scene stunned everyone, and they didn't know what was going on.
And at this time, only listening to the direction from which the sound of the piano came, a transcendent man's voice floated in: "The people who killed the Heavenly Palace are becoming more and more arrogant now!"
"Heaven Killing Palace!"
Hearing these three words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but show a look of horror.
To say that in the Eastern Regions, the strongest force is naturally none other than the four major sects, but in terms of terrifyingness, the first to bear the brunt is this Heaven Killing Palace.
The founder of this Heaven Slaying Palace is a mysterious and dark powerhouse.
No one knows what happened to him back then, in short, the reason why he named the name of the force "Heaven Killing" was to kill all the Tianjiao under this world.
Since the establishment of this force, all the recruits under its command are a group of incognito strong men who are engaged in assassination.
As long as you can afford it, there is no one they dare not kill.
Over the years, the number of Tianjiao who has died at the hands of the Heaven Slayer Palace is innumerable, and the vast majority of people hate this force to the core.
But even so, this force still exists well to this day.
Just as there is light in this world, there will be darkness, as long as there is darkness in people's hearts, this Heaven Killing Palace has the value of existence.
Everyone has a hateful person, and at the same time, there are reasons why it is difficult to take action in person, and at this time, killing the Heavenly Palace is their only choice.
The Heaven Slayer also has its own principles, and they keep their employers' information strictly confidential.
Therefore, although many times people clearly know who the employer is, they are unable to get conclusive evidence from the Heaven Killing Palace.
Take money for life, trade fairly.
So, despite the countless people who have proposed to exterminate them over the years, none of them have been able to make the trip in the end. On the contrary, this force is becoming stronger and stronger in the hatred of people.
Of course, as the giant of the Eastern Regions, the Heavenly King Palace, at least inside the Heavenly King Palace, has never seen the shadow of the Heavenly Killing Palace.
But today, no one thought that the people of the Heaven Slayer Palace had really infiltrated it, and they didn't even notice it.
It has to be said that the concealment skills of this group of people have reached the pinnacle, and even if they appear next to you, you will not know that deadly danger is close to you.
Those geniuses of the Heavenly King Hall who were very close to these people just now couldn't help but be afraid in their hearts at this moment.
Of course, in addition to being afraid, what shocked them the most was that this time the Heaven Killing Palace actually missed!
Looking at the historical records, the frequency of the Heavenly Killing Palace's misses is probably only once in 10,000 times, and the only one that did not kill the opponent on the spot, but also caused fatal damage to the opponent.
And the reason why they can do this is naturally because of their own strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, they never fight unprepared battles.
The number of people they sent must have been determined by careful investigation and analysis.
This time, the team they came to assassinate Yang Xiao was not luxurious.
The reason why this is so is because they know very well that the major families who are in charge of the palace today will definitely not attack them.
But they made a lot of calculations, but in the end, they still missed one person, that is, the Lingyan Pavilion Master who was enough to make Shang Jiuyou jealous, He Lingyan!
Because in anyone's impression, this Crane Lingyan should be a transcendent existence! He doesn't even care about the honor of the Crane family, how can he care about the life and death of a Yang Xiao?
But in the end, they were wrong, and they were very wrong!
He Lingyan not only made a move, but also directly killed the three Tianhou who were at the peak of the hundred-mile realm in seconds.
You must know that these three people all have the strength to fight with Qianli Hou, and they are all assassins who have been carefully cultivated by the Heaven Killing Palace for many years, and any one of them is an immeasurable loss, not to mention the death of three of them!
At this time, I saw that the three half-step Tianhou assassins who were imprisoned by He Lingyan all showed a ruthless gaze in the direction where He Lingyan's voice came from.
The assassin who attacked Yang Xiao said coldly: "Your Excellency is He Lingyan, right?"
"Yes, so what?" said He Lingyan indifferently.
"Hmph, do you know what you've just done!" said the man, angrily.
"Of course I know," He Lingyan said in the usual tone, "If you Heaven Killing Palace want to avenge you, just find it." I'm waiting for you at any time. ”
"You ......"
The assassin originally wanted to threaten He Lingyan in order to save his life.
After all, in his opinion, the power of the Heaven Killing Palace is not comparable to you at all. But who would have thought that this crane Lingyan was fearless at all.
Moreover, what frightened them the most was that he used "you" before the word revenge in his sentence!
That means, I'm afraid even the three of them will be killed together!
"No! you can't kill us!"
Sensing the killing intent of Crane Lingyan, the three assassins couldn't help but be terrified.
You must know that when these people joined the Heaven Killing Palace, they were trained as assassins, not dead soldiers.
Although, both the assassin and the dead have a clear purpose, and they are equally terrifying.
But for the assassins, they don't think much of the dead.
In their opinion, only those who are inpatient will exchange their lives for results. And their assassins are able to complete the task and protect themselves at the same time.
They carve assassination as an extreme work of art.
Over the years, it has indeed been rare for the Heaven Slayer Palace to miss, and at the same time, each of these assassins has amassed a large amount of wealth.
So gradually, this group of people became more afraid of death and more life-loving than ordinary people.
And at this moment, his three powerful companions are dying in front of him, and he doesn't even have the strength to fight back, so his own life is not even a fart in the eyes of Heling Yan!
If the other party wants to kill himself, it is really as easy as pinching a mosquito to death.
"When you come to my Heavenly King's Hall to show off your might, you should have the consciousness of death!" He Lingyan said coldly.
"No! no!" the assassin gritted his teeth, "He Lingyan, you are the Marquis of Wanli! So, you can't break the rules!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a commotion.
No one expected that these people would find this reason at the moment of life and death.
But admittedly, this argument does work. People clearly felt that the momentum of the crane Lingyan had a slight fluctuation at that moment.
But just when they thought that He Lingyan was about to compromise, they heard He Lingyan smile coldly and said, "Aren't the rules just used to be bad? However, since you say so, I will give you a chance to live." ”
"Really?" said the assassin, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Of course, my words have always counted. ”
"Okay, so how can you let us go?"
"Tell me the name of your employer, and I will spare your life. ”
"Shhhh
Hearing this, everyone gasped.
Who doesn't know that secrecy for an employer is one of the principles of the Heavenly Killing Palace? It has never been broken over the years.
And the existence of the Heaven Killing Palace also attaches great importance to reputation, so the assassins under its command strictly abide by these regulations, and dare not violate them, and even regard them as more important than their lives.
But now, He Lingyan directly took this as an exchange condition, which is simply a direct provocation to the principle of killing the Heavenly Palace!
Of course, the vast majority of people are impressed by the domineering spirit of Crane Lingyan.
Moreover, I also think that his condition is very reasonable, to exchange your life for something as important as your life, fair trade!
At the same time, people's eyes can't help but turn to those big families.
Obviously, this matter can be thought of with your toes, and the people behind the scenes must be among them.
But everything must be told with real evidence, at the moment you are just guessing, only if the Heaven Killing Palace really admits it, it can be regarded as a real hammer.
Suddenly, people clearly felt that the eyes of those people showed a look of panic.
And at this moment, the three assassins were deeply entangled.
Indeed, they never had the news of selling their employers before.
But the problem is that the reason why they have never betrayed is not that they are tight-mouthed, but that they have never been caught and threatened with their lives!
And if they really think that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and tell the news of their employer, then Helingyan here can spare them, but the Heavenly Killing Palace will not!
After all, the upper echelons of the Heaven Slayer Palace attached great importance to their reputation.
Seeing that they were entangled, He Lingyan smiled coldly and said, "What? Even if you die, don't you want to betray your employer?"
"This is the principle of our Heavenly Slaying Palace!" the assassin said through gritted teeth, but everyone could see the wavering in his heart.
"Heh, principle, just for a few people who can't fight with you, is it worth it?" asked He Lingyan rhetorically.
"I ......," the assassin's body trembled.
yes! Is it worth it?
Just for a few people who have nothing to do with him, he has to lose his life, is it worth it!
But in the end, they still didn't dare to break the iron law of the Heaven Killing Palace.
Just look at the assassin and say in a trembling voice: "He Lingyan, if you change your conditions, we can all agree to you!"
"No need!" He Lingyan said indifferently, "What I said has always counted!
"No!"
Hearing this, the three assassins screamed.
In the next moment, with the sound of a piano, three more spirit cranes fell from the sky, shooting at the three of them like flying arrows.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise and a desperate shout, I saw that the bodies of the three of them, just like the three Baili Hou just now, exploded into invisibility, and there was not even a bit of meat left.
The audience was silent, and they were extremely shocked by the thunderous methods and courage of the crane.
You know, those were six assassins of the Heaven Slayer Palace! each of them cost countless resources of the Heaven Slayer Palace.
But now, he was killed by He Lingyan in seconds, and this revenge may not be resolved.
However, no one felt that there was any fear in He Lingyan's tone, as if everyone was afraid of the Heaven Killing Palace, which was nothing more than this in his eyes.
As for the high-level leaders of the merchants, the Shangguan family, the Xiahou family, and the Yuwen family, they were all silent at this moment.
On the one hand, neither of them is an opponent of Crane Lingyan.
On the other hand, they are also afraid of it for a while. If these assassins really stabbed them out just now, then they would be guilty of a big crime.
At that time, those families that are hostile to them can take the opportunity to attack them. Even the nature of this matter is even more likely to attract the old antiques of Xianshan to make a move.
When the time comes, I'm afraid they won't have any room for good!
"Ling Yan Tianhou, thank you just now!" Yang Xiao hugged his fist in the direction of Crane Ling Yan, although there were only white clouds there, and there was no half a figure.
You must know that for such a transcendent character, there is no need to rescue him.
Even if he wanted to save it, according to Yang Xiao's assumption just now, He Lingyan should at least leave the three half-step Tianhou Realm assassins to him to deal with.
After all, although these three people are strong in assassination, they are not necessarily their opponents in a head-to-head duel.
And in today's matter, the key person is himself again, and it is completely reasonable to let himself offend the Heaven Killing Palace in the end.
But in the end, He Lingyan didn't do that, but directly attracted all the hatred, whether it was the merchant faction or the Heaven Killing Palace.
So Yang Xiao knows very well that this time he really owes He Lingyan a great favor.
It's just that he was always a little confused in his heart: why is this?
