Chapter 12: The Knife Has Fallen

In the afternoon, several families had sent people over, and Su Chen troubled the proprietress to ask them not to disturb, this is one of the treatments of Tianzifang, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be rich" , Su Chen looked at the ceiling, for him to come out this time, except for his mother to let him find the place where his father was, the nine people did not ask him for anything, just let him come out to see the world, as for the matter of cultivation, it is still far from the nine people, they did not urge, they are not in a hurry, they are still not much interested in cultivation, under the pressure of these years of strict pursuit, he is not too far behind everyone, and even leads a large group of people, he only came out this time in the late Yuan Infant period, and Tang Yaya They are already at the peak of the late Yuan Infant period, and they can break through at any time, just a trace of mental enlightenment can step into the realm of out of the body, But he didn't feel any nervous oppression, and this time he was stuck in the pit of February City, and he felt a trace of oppression coming at him, but he still didn't care, at least he wasn't threatened. Su Chen fell asleep with boredom.

Su Chen's mentality is actually in front of the nine people, they are all disappointed, although they have not yet reached the point of not wanting to forge ahead, but Su Chen's instinctive resistance to cultivation makes them feel a headache, so he still listens to Liu Qingqing's words, after Liu Qingqing beat him, he finally cultivated a little with a little snack, and the cultivation that dragged on for nearly a year still caught up with everyone when he was lazy from time to time, although Su Chen resisted and avoided cultivation, but he was extremely serious about the study of daily life, sowing seeds in the field, sewing clothes and cooking, and then going up the mountain to hunt after cultivation, irrigating the fields, but doing exceptionally well, better than many adults。 The nine people and Liu Qingqing realized this problem, and at this time, Liu Qingqing saw the picture of Su Hai when he was practicing, and not long after the picture appeared, they were "old ancestors" Forcibly interrupted, seeing the picture of Su Hai or the picture of her husband was the only one, Chang Mian quickly concluded that Liu Qingqing had a trace of the bloodline of a certain existence, but this bloodline was suddenly stimulated, and Liu Qingqing would not use it to cause a trace of defects, and the nine people could only seal this bloodline so that Liu Qingqing no longer predicted some things at will, and pushed the fundamental solution to Su Chen, and the nine of them no longer took over the matter.

This is one of the reasons why Su Chen came up with it himself, this is the beginning of Su Chen's beginning to devote more of his mind to cultivation, because this is a matter of life and death for his mother, although it is still far from death, he did not feel the pressure of his breathless nervousness, just because Liu Qingqing is his mother, a filial piety character drove him to cultivate, although he shouldered the mission of finding his father, but he didn't dare to believe the picture Liu Qingqing saw, because of some of his own reasons, when he fled, he felt that some kind of connection between him and Su Hai was broken, the previous close connection was broken, Su Hai's end was like a nothingness that did not exist at all, an empty that had never been born, Tang Yaya and Chang Mian said, he was sure that Tang Yaya was not lying, so he spent more than a year to prove his lie, Tang Yaya told nonsense lies, searched all corners of the barren mountain, to find the slightest connection with Su Hai, begged the nine people to take him out to find that connection, so Yu Xin took him out once, to the place where he was separated from Su Hai, he felt the surroundings where he still lived on this land a few months ago, because he stepped into this land His connection with flowers and plants became clear, although his connection with this land was very weak, but it was not nothing。 He returned to the barren mountains and began to learn everything in daily life, did what his father did, went to the field to cook and cut trees and sew clothes, but he still did not succeed in proving it, and began to practice after being taught by Liu Qingqing, but there was still a trace of giving up hidden in his heart, buried in the ground like a seed, covered by soil fertilizer.

Su Chen woke up suddenly, the chair quickly fell back, Su Chen didn't have time to react, his head hit the ground hard, feeling a slight pain, Su Chen just sat on the chair, spread his arms and lay on the ground looking at the ceiling, he had a strange dream, surrounded by empty dreams, just like that time in the darkness where his mother fled with him, he couldn't feel everyone, only knew that his mother was holding him, and the nine people who only covered their figures, only to know later that the nine of them did not deliberately hide, leaving the nine people he felt and his mother, the dream was like that darkness, surrounded by nothingness。

"Su Chen, Su Chen" Su Chen came back to his senses, and saw Su Rongrong's face shaking him anxiously, Su Chen signaled that it was okay, stood up, and asked Su Rongrong if he wanted to eat some snacks outside, Su Rongrong nodded happily, Su Chen took Su Rongrong's hand and went out, Su Rongrong's hand was very cold and very comfortable to hold. The two came to the snack street, there are all kinds of delicacies, Su Chen bought a shaved ice for Su Rongrong, watching Su Rongrong eat, because of the cold air, the headache laughed, but still thoughtfully input a breath of aura to relieve the pain, the two of them ate all kinds of food, such as skewers, the two of them ate a lot of food with one hand, although Su Chen was strolling around, he still noticed that someone was staring at him, and the sticks he threw at random were inserted in the hands of these eyeliner, he hated that people were staring at him, especially when he was happy. When he first entered this cultivation world, Su Chen didn't know that killing was always by his side, he never thought about killing people, and no one had taught him, but the killing techniques he learned were all of the nine people, even if Tang Yaya, who cultivated above him, still didn't learn as much as him, he was the only one. Su Rongrong naturally knew that someone was spying on them, and he also knew what Su Chen was doing, after all, she was a tree spirit, and the flowers and trees around her had told him, and some even told them to kill the person who was watching, but she still ignored it and just laughed and laughed happily with Su Chen. Although she has been practicing longer than Su Chen, and she has heard things like the law of the jungle, she and Su Chen don't know how close the killing is to her, and now she is just the heart of a fifteen-year-old girl.

Most of the people who were watching left with five or six sticks that could not be pulled out, and some of them were abolished for cultivation, and a few sticks represented a few warnings, Su Chen's unintentional move made most families think that Su Chen was not interested in getting involved in the affairs of their February City, but there were exceptions, they wanted to drag Su Chen into this muddy water, and use the muddy water behind Su Chen to turn into clear water.

Su Chen and Su Rongrong returned to the restaurant with a lot of food, and specially divided a bag to give to the proprietress , the proprietress also accepted it, telling them which one to eat next time, which one tastes good, especially this stinky tofu, the one in the south of the road is full of flavor, and the one in the north of the road is full of sauces, she often asks for one from each of the two families, and the sauces are packed separately, the ones with enough flavor and the ones with light taste, no matter which one you eat first, it is not an ordinary delicacy, Su Chen said with a smile after hearing it, "Next time I will definitely listen to Sister Hongluan's try" After so many days, he had already learned the name of the proprietress, Hongluan covered his mouth and laughed when he heard Su Chen's title, calling Su Chen a younger brother or something, and asked Su Chen to hurry back to the room with the beauty to enjoy these delicacies, Su Chen's sister who opened her mouth and closed her mouth said and took Su Rongrong back to the room.

Su Rongrong saw Su Chen's changes, and inexplicably felt that there was a trace of unpleasantness, but it was soon gone, after all, Su Chen's appearance was pleasing when he smiled, and when he had a cold face, it was really difficult to get along with, and he usually gave people a comfortable sense of distance when he was respectful. This night was a precursor to the fall of the utility knife.

At noon the next day, Su Chen found that he had received invitations from several families, Su Chen looked at the invitations on the table very entangledly, he moved the Bai family and the Zhao family out alone, at this time Hongluan came to Su Chen's door and asked if he could come in, Su Chen quickly got up and opened the door and invited Hongluan to the table.

"Brother, are you hesitating which one to go to" Hongluan asked with her fingers jumping on the table, Su Rongrong sat next to Su Chen, she didn't understand all this at all, she could only listen. Su Chen shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Sister, I don't want to go to any house, but looking at the posture of the invitation, it would be rude for me not to go" Hongluan looked at Su Chen and suddenly laughed, etiquette? This thing is really needed, but will these old guys tell you this? It's really a young master from a scholarly family.

"If my brother is thinking about which one to visit, it is better to consider these two" Hongluan removed the Zhou family from the invitation pile, it was a very simple invitation, not as heavy as other families, just an ordinary red paper, Su Chen waited for Hongluan to remove the second one, but he didn't see it for a long time, he looked at Hongluan in confusion and said, "Sister, what about another family?" Hongluan looked at the Su Chen in front of him, who didn't know if he was really stupid or fake, and said slowly, "It's right in front of you." Su Chen was still puzzled, although he knew that this Haolai Restaurant was not ordinary, what did this have to do with the family's invitation.

"Sister, this is a restaurant, and these families"

"Doesn't my brother look down on my Haolai Restaurant?" Hongluan covered his mouth and laughed, Su Chen had seen this behavior in Qingyan, and he had a headache, explaining that he didn't mean that.

Who knew that Hongluan saw Su Chen's scene, and he was really a cute child, "Brother, my Haolai Restaurant is about to open a restaurant once in ten years, and I just need personal help to move some things from the carrier." Su Chen immediately came to his senses, got up and bowed and thanked him, Hongluan asked Su Chen to go to the back of the kitchen in the afternoon to lead the carriage to pick up the goods, and once again emphasized that he remembered to lead the carriage to pick up the goods and left, Su Chen immediately understood that this Haolai Restaurant had something to do with the carrier chamber of commerce, and it was not simple, he guessed that this restaurant might be a puppet of the chamber of commerce, in order to balance the existence of the family. Su Chen took Su Rongrong to lunch, Su Chen looked for Hongluan alone and said a few words and went to get the carriage to go to the Chamber of Commerce, and when he arrived at the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, the guards confirmed the carriage and brought the carriage to the back door, let Su Chen rest in the hall for a while, and come after picking up the goods, Su Chen smacked his lips, this turned out to be by recognizing horses and people, and it was useless to just have the brand of this Haolai Restaurant. In fact, the major families basically come to the Chamber of Commerce to pick up the goods, and they can't pick up the goods without a specific token or a specific carriage.

After Su Chen picked up the goods, he drove the carriage back slowly, after all, it was an empty car when he came, and it was noon, and there were fewer people on the road, so he was talking and laughing with Su Rongrong and the two of them, but Su Chen was not easy, he noticed that the monks with Yuanying were staring at them, and there were even two Yuanying peak existences, although he warned them with his divine sense, only these two were deadlocked with him, he fought with the divine consciousness of these two people, and he had to add some on Su Rongrong, just in case. Finally, when they approached the Hollywood Restaurant, the battle was finally over, and Su Chen was able to breathe a sigh of relief and adjust his state so that he could not show his color.

Su Rongrong noticed a change in Su Chen, she smiled as usual and Su Chen entered the restaurant and called Hongluan, Hongluan glanced at the two of them, found nothing abnormal, and said, "Thank you, brother, I will send someone to you later" Su Chen smiled and said that he was not in a hurry and went back to the room, scratched Su Rongrong's waist and ran, making Su Rongrong shyly chase after Su Chen, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the room, Su Rongrong suddenly hugged Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, let's get out of here" Su Chen felt that Su Rongrong was trembling, " It's okay, don't worry about me here" Su Chen also hugged Su Rongrong, and for some reason, the two built an invisible bridge between their hearts. At the same time, the young boys and girls are in love.

Su Chen asked Su Rongrong to go to the rest meeting first, and he also went back to his bedroom to change a set of clothes, he had been in a cold sweat before, his clothes and pants were wet, he had never experienced this kind of contest that almost made him collapse, and it was different from the time of the nine-person contest, the two of them had killing intent, and even their divine powers, he didn't react, so he used his divine sense to resist the other party's divine powers, and forgot to use his divine powers, and because of the robe, his abnormality was not shown, and he didn't let Hongluan and the spies in the restaurant see it, and thanks to Su Rongrong holding his hand all the time, he got a little bit of support。 He found himself underestimating the backgrounds of these families.

"Su Chen" Su Rongrong shouted outside the bedroom, Su Chen stopped thinking, opened the door and went out, "What's wrong, Rong Rong" Su Chen smiled and rubbed Su Rongrong's head

"Su Chen, I'm going to cross the catastrophe, it's probably only been a few days, I can't hold it back" Su Rongrong grabbed Su Chen's hand rubbing her head. Su Chen was silent for a while after hearing this, starting from the foundation building, every time he crossed the tribulation, he had to experience a lightning split, but this thunder was still a locked existence, and after carrying it, he would be gifted by heaven and earth, but this thunder could be regarded as a nemesis for Su Rongrong, so there were extremely few wood spirits in this world, and the tribulation was equal to nine deaths for them.

"Don't worry, I will be by your side when you cross the tribulation, I have pills and the like, don't worry" Su Chen shook Su Rongrong's hands and rubbed the other party's head, he could feel the uneasiness and fear in Su Rongrong's heart. With the arrival of Su Rongrong's thunder tribulation, there was also Su Chen's killing and robbery. Because the camp chosen by Su Chen is the enemy of all sides - Hollywood Restaurant.

Su Chen decided to let Su Rongrong cross the robbery tonight, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and sent two gold coins, as well as a black iron second-grade identity tag of the carrier chamber of commerce, after Su Chen accepted it, he closed the door and rummaged through the storage ring to find the elixir to be used for the catastrophe. Su Rongrong's robbery Su Chen didn't tell anyone, he couldn't trust anyone, so Su Chen told Hongluan before picking up the goods that he would hire him as a worker, indicating that he didn't want to side with any side of the forces, but his private move to find Hongluan was determined to be just a business relationship with the carrier, so Su Chen received Hongluan's salary, no, it should be the carrier's business.

Su Chen took Su Rongrong to the restaurant in the evening and walked towards the snack area, but as soon as he arrived there, he found that the people in the snack area were all Yuanying, Jindan monks, and hawker guests, Su Chen clenched Su Rongrong's hand, and planned to turn around and leave, but he was surrounded in an instant.

"Everyone, I have no grievances with you, why do you ambush us" Su Chen pulled Su Rongrong to his side, these people were all outlaws, full of murderous intent towards him, he could feel that even if he stayed or died, Su Rongrong and they would not let go.

"This boy takes people's money and helps people to eliminate disasters, so your life will be used by us for a while," said a swordsman with a sword

"Can I still borrow my life, can I still live if I lend it to you?" Su Chen said with a sneer, holding the sword that appeared in the air in his left hand, he could feel that there were archers and shotgunners in the distance, he couldn't leave Su Rongrong's side, Su Chen asked Chiyue to go to Su Rongrong, and even let Su Rongrong carry the sword.

Whew, an arrow shot over, pulling a shot and moving the whole body, Su Chen split the arrows and bullets that came over, a few of them were shot by the Yuanying Realm, which shocked his hands a little numb, Su Chen let go of Su Rongrong and pulled out the sword, he began to be anxious, Su Rongrong had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, and he couldn't help it, but he pulled out his sword to fight with him, but her cultivation was not enough to fight them at all, the moment Su Chen pulled out the sword, the Jindan monk in front and the early Yuanying monk were all shocked by the sword light and flew out, and were slightly injured, Su Chen's sword body looked a little dull in the moonlight。 Because the moment he pulled out the sword, there was a little gap, and the enemy in the distance shot a bow and arrow bullet, Su Chen swung his sword, and one after another sword lights rushed towards these attack directions, the speed was so fast, no one had time to dodge, but it was thunder and rain, and no one was killed, and those with low cultivation lost their attack power, and those with high cultivation only temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

"Boss, this kid's combat power is empty, there is no lethality, the brothers in the back are fine" The assassins swarmed up, Su Chen still hugged Su Rongrong and waved his sword and slashed over, at the beginning, Sui'an's shell would defend the back, and the same was true for Qingyan's robe, but fortunately, Su Rongrong didn't have it, so he could rest assured, the longer the time, Su Chen's body had not deep or shallow wounds on his face.

At this time, there were four big families headed by the Bai family and some small families sitting in the Bai family, "City Lord, can you use such a big movement to deal with a hairy boy?" "Yes, the City Lord's movement tonight is too big"

"There is such a big movement tonight, and I haven't heard any news favorable to us" Chen Kang, the head of the Chen family, said weakly, Yang De of the Yang family, Gu Wubo of the Gu family, and Song Hai of the Song family stopped discussing, yes, the biggest movement is that any of them are at the peak of the late Yuan Infant Old guys, Bai Zhao looked at everyone and stopped discussing and said, "This kid's strength is not simple, according to the news coming from the front, it seems that he is suppressing his strength, and he deliberately does not kill people" Bai Zhao looked at everyone and waited for everyone to reply, but they were all silent, Bai Zhao continued" He must be subject to some restrictions, maybe he is on the run, for fear of attracting enemies, and there is a girl next to him, he can't easily move to kill for fear of hurting this girl"

"Then we caught this girl, can't we control this kid's life" Yang De said with a little excitement, Bai Zhao shook his head and didn't say anything, it's still safe to die, it's too dangerous for such a terrifying person to be controlled by Hollywood Restaurant.

Zhao family, Zhao Yu, Lan Feng, Zhang Wanxiang, Wang Meng stood on the roof and looked at the snack area where the sword light flashed, "It's a pity, such a talent" Wang Meng said regretfully, "No matter how pity it is, I have to die, the second son of the Zhou family was so amazing back then, but it's a pity that he stood on the wrong team like him, didn't he still die?" Zhang Wanxiang said calmly, Lan Feng shook his head and said, "Haolai Restaurant, if you want to swallow February City, you have to see if his teeth are hard or not" Zhao Yu didn't say anything when he heard the conversation between the three of them.

Zhou Jia, "Grandpa, did my younger brother also die like this back then" Zhou Wuji looked at the old man Zhou Tai and asked, the old man nodded, and finally sighed. At that time, Zhou Yan wanted to lead the Zhou family to the second Hollywood Hotel, but the future fell before it was too late. Zhou Wuji lay on the chair and closed his eyes and pondered, he was thinking about whether he should make a move, and use the name of the public to do his own private affairs, which is also a public matter, but after that, it is impossible to pull out these families in one fell swoop, wait a minute, it was the secret commander sent by the imperial court to spy on February City, he decided so, he had already quietly sent out the invitation, but he didn't catch it.

Under the ground of the Hollywood Restaurant, there were several masked people sitting in front of Hongluan, "I could have used it a little, but it's a pity that I was too clever and hurt myself" "It's better not to use this kind of person, if you climb to the top level, it is easy to put the Chamber of Commerce in trouble" Everyone nodded unanimously.

"Get out" Su Chen split the front with a sword, and many buildings were turned into ruins, but fortunately, this area of people had already been dispersed, only these monks, the monks who were chopped were seriously injured and fainted, and their bodies kept dripping blood, and the people in front of them didn't give themselves a chance to breathe at all, just like Mr. Cang and Sister Wanruo trained themselves, but they would die here. The thunderclouds in the sky gathered, and Su Rongrong was also injured, half of the earlobe of her right ear was dropped, and her left leg was almost broken. Su Chen felt that he could be relieved if he was dead at this time, but he immediately thought of his mother and Su Rongrong in his arms, Su Chen slashed two swords in a row, opened a way, rushed out, and flew out of the city, but he wanted to run the cloud boots but found that he couldn't use it at all, I don't know how many people's attacks hit the back, Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he fell down. Su Rongrong repeatedly wanted to break free and let Su Chen run quickly, but Su Chen never relaxed, he could only make trouble for Su Chen since he was transformed, Su Rongrong cried, and cried loudly, "I'm sorry, Rong Rong" He found that the things given by the nine people could not be used except for swords and sticks, he hugged Su Rongrong tightly, he saw that his eyes brightened, it was an attack from pursuit, he felt that he was about to be relieved, but he only harmed Su Rongrong, as well as Xue Xiao and Akatsuki, these two little guys had caught too many attacks for themselves and had already been injured and unconscious.

The attack was in front of him, and it was about to fall, "ding" The bracelets on Su Chen's hands trembled, and a light shield blocked the attack, but the impact was too strong, Su Chen's back smashed to the ground, forming a big pit, Su Chen instantly sobered up, how could I give up, I still have important things to do, Su Chen used all his spiritual power to fly into the air again, like flying outside the city, while swinging his sword to block the attack, several times the sword almost got out of his hand, when he finally flew out of the city, the city guards, the dense city guards attacked him in the lower direction.

"Ah, Lao Tzu fights" Su Chen put away his sword and flew with all his might, the cloud boots suddenly moved, and they started running rapidly, and he soon came to a deep mountain, leaving the pursuing army behind for the time being, and he had no spiritual strength. Su Chen hurriedly took out the pill and ate it, so that Su Rongrong could eat it quickly, and recover quickly, their whereabouts were locked because of the thunderclouds in the sky, Su Rongrong ate a lot with tears in her eyes, she could only listen to Su Chen at this time, eat, restore her spiritual body, and then he waited for her to cross the tribulation.
