Shi Yuan's friends in distress have a total of four people, Luo Haitian, Lu Wenquan, Deng Zhiying, and Cui Yunmei.

Among the four, three men and one woman, but they are all old bones, they have been working for that organization for decades, and they have long been tired of it, so they want to live some free and peaceful life without restraints.

Originally, according to the previous agreement, after they found the secret passage of that space last time and successfully locked it, even if all their tasks were completed, they should no longer have anything to do with it, and they could break free from the shackles of that organization and live the life they wanted in their old age.

But the other party missed that opportunity, and then he reversed himself and forced them to continue to complete this matter again.

Such an untrustworthy practice naturally touches the bottom line of most people.

This person attacked on the spot and resisted, but it did not have any substantive effect, but caused himself to be killed.

And some people with brains are just waiting to see what happens, they don't do what provokes the other party, but they accept it, but in the process of action, they are just procrastinating and prevaricating.

As long as they don't do things that stimulate each other and cooperate with each other, there will not be too much danger to their lives, but after they have already taken precautions in their hearts, they naturally have to find a way out for themselves.

Shi Yuan and the other five people are also the core figures in that exploration team, and the main credit for finding and locking the spatial passage last time is actually on these five people.

Because they have gone through so many dangers and tribulations, they have been able to move forward and retreat together. The friendship is deep, so it has become a friend of life and death.

It was this time that they were on guard against Xiao Yesha's organization, and they were secretly planning a retreat for themselves, and they didn't hide too many secrets from each other, and they were able to share them together.

But no one expected that it was precisely because they trusted each other too much and did not have any precautions that there were traitors among them, and everyone was implicated.

And this traitor who betrayed his old friend is Deng Zhiying.

Now. Deng Zhiying's heart is in a kind of torment. The painful taste of betraying his old friend made him feel a little worse than dead.

However, at the time he was in that dilemma. In the end, it was a kind of family affection and selfishness that occupied the top. That kind of friendship that shares adversity. He was thrown into hell.

But afterwards, he regretted it immensely, because he realized it. What a heavy price he paid for this family affection, it was the lives of several of his old friends, all the people of the family, and it was only the lives of the six weak members of his family.

However, at this moment, Deng Zhiying has fallen into despair.

In his home, two killers came, it seemed that they belonged to the boss level, their strength was extremely strong, Deng Zhiying was not their opponent at all, and they were captured by the other party.

Similarly, along with him, his entire family of six was captured.

Especially when the other party put a knife on the neck of his six-year-old grandson, the grandson's crying, as well as the threats made by the other party, and the rich conditions promised, caused him to go to the abyss step by step.

After Deng Zhiying betrayed several old friends, the other party let his family go, but it was closely monitored, and Deng Zhiying also heard that the other party was implementing the plan to exterminate the mouth.

However, the plan implemented by the other party did not seem to go well, and the few killers they sent out did not return at the agreed time, nor did they send any information, they knew that things had changed.

Deng Zhiying knew that things had changed, but he also knew that it meant that his betrayal, not only did not get any substantial results, but instead made him bear a great sin.

Especially after an hour later, after the other party got the news that several killers had all been killed, Deng Zhiying felt that the whole world was plunged into darkness, and he was pushing himself into the abyss of hell step by step.

In his desperation, he saw the other man's face, which had become a little hideous and terrifying with anger.

In Deng Zhiying's desperation, he saw the cruel scene of the other party splitting the bodies of his family members with a knife in order to vent his anger, and every knife was like cutting his heart.

In the end, his family was still not saved, and he was killed by the killer leader's anger, leaving him with no more death than mourning, and the whole world was only gray and white.

When Deng Zhiying saw the other party holding the knife and finally slowly walked towards him, he had no sadness or joy in his heart, only an expectation, expecting the other party to end his life as soon as possible, he felt that if he lived again, it was a sin, but also an endless shame, and he was no longer qualified to live.

The cold blade, under his expectation, finally came.

It's just that the cold blade stayed on the neck for a long time, but it never fell again.

Immediately, the blade fell off.

Deng Zhiying heard the killer leader's almost crazy roar: "Who are you?" ”

It was a young voice, very light, and the tone was very calm, and said: "Although this person is a traitor, he still needs to exert his last bit of value in my hands, he can die, but not in your hands......"

"So, you killed all my people?"

The leader of the killers was filled with endless hatred in his heart, but it was also filled with a kind of fear, because he saw with his own eyes that one of his subordinates was about to execute Deng Zhiying's neck at the moment when the blade fell on Deng Zhiying's neck, and the man was holding a sword, but a sword light passed by, and his subordinate was cut off by a sword without the slightest reaction.

It was so fast, so fast that it suffocated him, it almost drove him mad and desperate, and he believed that even he himself could not escape the fatal blow.

At this moment, Li Xiangnan stood quietly with his hands behind his back, and he didn't bother to answer such a stupid question asked by the killer leader.

In his judgment that there were traitors among the four people, according to the information he had, from the analysis of personality and behavior, he had seven guesses that it might be Deng Zhiying.

So after saving Lu Wenquan, Li Xiangnan skipped Deng Zhiying and rushed directly to the place where Cui Yunmei was in seclusion.

But fortunately, she arrived in time, Cui Yunmei was not at home because she took her granddaughter out to collect herbs, and the time when the killer was waiting in ambush near her home also gave Li Xiangnan a chance.

So when Li Xiangnan arrived, it happened that Cui Yunmei was on the way back, and it was only a hundred meters away from the killer's ambush.

And that distance has also become an insurmountable moat for the killer, when Li Xiangnan intercepted Cui Yunmei, the killer saw that the incident was exposed, so he could only launch a strong attack.

But it is obvious that the killer is not Li Xiangnan's opponent at all, Li Xiangnan raised the knife and fell, and after less than two rounds, he had already slashed the killer under the sword, and he was simply sharp.

Cui Yunmei was also shocked and angry when she heard Li Xiangnan's explanation afterwards, and she didn't expect that the old friend in distress would betray them.

Li Xiangnan persuaded Cui Yunmei that it didn't take much time and energy, and when he proposed that a few people get together in Shicun, Cui Yunmei didn't say a word and went straight to the place.

So Li Xiangnan solved Cui Yunmei's matter, he knew that the last one was the traitor Deng Zhiying, and the leader of the execution of the plan to kill the mouth must also be with Deng Zhiying.

In the case that the assassination of these five people by the killer was wiped out, when the other party learned the news, he would inevitably ruthlessly attack Deng Zhiying.

It's just that although this Deng Zhiying deserves to die, Li Xiangnan felt that he couldn't die in the hands of the killer, so the killer appeared to kill Deng Zhiying's whole family, and was ready to attack Deng Zhiying in the end.

The two people left by the killer leader's side were both masters, and they only had the kung fu between breaths, and the so-called two masters were like ants, and they were lightly slashed by Li Xiangnan.

That kind of strong strength frightened the leader of the killers, and he didn't understand why the other party didn't attack him in the end.

Li Xiangnan didn't attack the last remaining killer leader, naturally he had useful intentions, he wanted to know who was the mastermind who planned this extermination plan.

He was convinced that these killers were not the people of the forces to which Xiao Yesha belonged.

Because Li Xiangnan felt that it was very strange, when he came here to look for those characters related to the clues of the secret passage, he was ready to contact these people, and these people were assassinated at the first time, this is obviously not a coincidence, but someone may have guessed the purpose of his coming, so it is better to strike first.

But in this secret martial arts world, there are not many people who can guess the real purpose of Li Xiangnan's visit, and he has never revealed to anyone the destruction plan he wants to find the secret realm passage and execute.

It was only a few days ago that he mentioned this matter to Wang Aiguo, Song Xinfeng, and Zhou Guodong.

But Li Xiangnan believed that he had an in-depth understanding of those three people, and it was impossible for him to divulge this secret lightly, so Li Xiangnan had a clear guess.

That is, someone was secretly testing the direction and goal of his action, and when he came to Shicun and made contact with Shi Yuan, the other party also judged Li Xiangnan's intentions, and also guessed that he wanted to find the secret passage, so he would implement the plan to exterminate the people involved.

Therefore, Li Xiangnan can roughly deduce that the person who wants to test him must also know the secret of the secret passage and has been secretly paying attention to it, and at the same time, this person has also conducted in-depth research on him himself, and can grasp the direction of his whereabouts at the first time.

And there are not many people with this kind of energy in this secret martial arts sect, except for those heads of several major sects who have an intelligence system and some old antiques who live behind the scenes, and then there are those people from the secret world, such as Su Weidao, Yang Lin, and that night Dongqing and Red Lotus.

Therefore, Li Xiangnan will leave the killer leader, and he intends to find clues from this person. (To be continued......)
