Chapter 42: Hooked

It's strange to say, no matter how the news is banned, within a day, the assassination of the prince will spread in the imperial capital.

Some people even described the assassin's body and weapons as if they had seen it in person, and even the news that the three princes were imprisoned by Zongzheng Temple and waiting for the emperor to deal with it himself was conclusive.

Nayun Shi traced the source of the news everywhere, but it was from all kinds of people, such as alchemists, traveling doctors, and vendors, all of whom had long since disappeared.

In Yuan Yifeng Pharmacy, a big-eyed little girl hurriedly grabbed some medicine at the counter and left, it was Xiao Ganlin.

Her whereabouts have long been in the eyes of everyone in Kunlun.

"The palace has its own imperial infirmary, what medicine has to be caught outside? You waited and stared at the drugstore. Ling Xuzi saw the flaw at a glance.

After only a cup of tea, the pharmacy guy hurriedly went out, came to Qi Wuxian's private house, handed over a package of medicinal herbs to the housekeeper at the door, and went to the dim sum shop at the entrance of the alley to buy some dim sum, and went back to the store.

"It seems that Mr. Mo's method really worked, and the fish took the bait. A trace of excitement flashed in Ling Xuzi's heart.

"The fruit is sold, the fruit is sold, the home is made, and it is harvested. There are sour, sweet, sweet and fragrant plums, sweet and watery peaches, crisp and fresh and moist big Li Na...... "At dusk, a man carrying two baskets of fruits called out outside the courtyard, and the housekeeper came out, stuffed a handful of money into the man's hand, took a few peaches, a bag of fragrant plums, and went back to the courtyard.

"Only two people will continue to stare at this house, and the rest of the people will follow the fruit seller with me!"

The fruit burden only shuttled through the alleys, and did seven or eight orders of business for most of the hour, and there was nothing unusual.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, Ling Xuzi felt strange in his heart, and faintly had a sense of foreboding.

At this moment, the air remembered the sound of "Giant Giant Woo-", when Ling Xuzi and the others heard it, wasn't it the sound of Kunlun's Mingdi?

This Ming Di is placed in the sleeves of the disciples and is launched with a frame, and can only be used in the event of an emergency.

"Not good!" Ling Xuzi's heart tightened, jumped on the roof, and ran towards the place where the sound sounded.

Before he got close to that place, he saw the crowd exploding from a distance, and a man struggling in a pool of blood was the disciple who stayed at the entrance of the alley and stared at the dim sum shop.

"Giant Woo-" There was another sound, but it was already a few streets away. Ling Xuzi exerted his strength under his feet, and several ups and downs had already arrived, and another disciple sat in an alley with his bubbling and bleeding neck. Seeing Ling Xuzi, the disciple raised his hand with all his strength and pointed to the end of the alley, but his head tilted down.

Ling Xuzi roared, his feet did not stop, and he went in the direction of the disciple's finger, and saw a black shadow in the distance, which disappeared at the end of the street corner.

"What a fast body!" Ling Xuozi was secretly surprised, let out a long roar, his internal breath turned wildly, the wind under his feet, and he exerted his magical power "and the wind shrinks the ground", and in the blink of an eye, he came behind the black shadow. Ling Xuozi had obtained several treasures in the Xuanji Secret Realm back then, and one of them was in a tattered Ge Shan that actually contained this amazing method.

Ling Xuzi's long sword shot out, like a flash of lightning, shooting directly into the heart of the black shadow. The black shadow was taken aback, but he was extremely sensitive, and he rushed out three feet diagonally, rolling on the ground, and was able to dodge Ling Xuzi's sharp blow, but his right arm was cut by the sword qi.

The black shadow was so slow that Ling Xuzi was already blocked in front of him, and he could see his appearance clearly, he was really short and fat, with a sideways face, and a pair of eyes that were shiny and shining.

"Old Dao, we have no grievances and no hatred, but what do you want to embarrass me?" The man saw that Ling Xuzi's cultivation was not easy to deal with, and asked in a thick nasal voice.

"Hehe, what a good one without grievances. Ling Xuozi sneered, and was about to speak, when with a "whoosh", a ball of blue sword light flew out of the man's hand, and attacked Ling Xuozi's door directly while he was talking to Ling Xuzi. Ling Xuzi dodged and fell backwards, volleyed up, and exited Zhangyu.

"What a vicious woman!" Ling Xuzi dodged the man's sneak attack, and no longer talked nonsense, he deceived himself, and the long sword in his hand instantly turned into a sword waterfall, pouring out, enveloping the man in it.

The man did not flinch, the short knife recycled into a cold light and enveloped his whole body, like a blue-scaled swimming fish, rushing up against the sword waterfall. When it was four or five feet away from Ling Xuzi, the fish suddenly burst out and turned into a cloud of blue mist in mid-air, and in the fog, thousands of poisonous insects opened their teeth and claws and went under Ling Xuzi's hood.

"It's a good time!" Ling Xuzi's long sword withdrew, and the sword qi in the air formed a huge vortex, twisting the blue mist to pieces.

The poisonous insects in the blue mist were actually enveloped by the sword qi, and became several "insect swords" that reflected towards the person.

The man waved his hand in the air, and three sword flowers flew out, clanging in the air to intercept the sword, but with the power of the rebound, he jumped over Ling Xuzi's head, grabbed the way and flew towards the entrance of the alley.

"Want to run?" Ling Xuzi would agree, and in a flash, he was already beside him, and the long sword swung diagonally, and three sword qi slashed towards the man with a whistling sound.

The man couldn't dodge, and "Bang-bang" was struck by Ling Xuzi's sword, and his body exploded. A stream of red mist poured out from the two "remnants", Ling Xuzi was caught off guard, inhaled a little, and immediately felt that his breath was stagnant, and his feet were slow.

Before the two "remnants" hit the ground, a person rolled out of the middle and shot towards the alley like lightning. Looking at her figure, it is clear that there is a woman, and the "remnant body" is just a disguise put on her body.

"Ahh

"Where to go?" Six or seven figures appeared at the entrance of the alley, blocking the woman's way, and it was the three elders who arrived with several disciples.

"Formation!" Seeing the woman's extremely weird and vicious moves, Ling Xuozi no longer hesitated and shouted.

"Zheng-" The disciples roared with swords in their hands, each grabbing directions, and the woman was trapped in the formation in the blink of an eye.

When Ling Xuozi looked closely, the woman was petite, although the vicious fight just now made her sideburns messy, panting slightly, and a pair of Danfengyuan eyes full of anger, but she could still be seen to be very handsome.

"If you just look at her appearance, you would never have thought that she was that vicious and cunning person. Ling Xuzi felt a slight pity in his heart, but the woman had already started again. The short knife in her hand turned out six or seven sword flowers, attacking the six or seven people in the formation respectively.

The sword qi in the sword array tumbled, shattering the sword flower in an instant. Several giant swords had already faintly appeared in mid-air, and they were about to be launched and slashed at the woman.

Suddenly, the woman swung towards a corner of the formation with all her might, and the short knife brought a blue murderous aura. She chose the weakest disciple in this formation.

As everyone knows, this sword array has always been a whole body, and the more flaws it seems, the more murderous it is. Thinking that she was about to be hit hard, Han Xuozi couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart and shook her head slightly.

The disciple retreated, and the woman's blade was about to touch his chest, but he couldn't move any further. That array was like a large net gradually tightening behind her, and the heavy sword qi protected in front of that disciple like an invisible giant shield, and countless bone-cutting cold blades rolled behind her.

Just when the burst was about to close and the woman had no way to retreat, the woman suddenly turned into a purple mist, and a black shadow in the purple mist shot out with a "whoosh", which was actually bounced towards Han Xuozi.

It turned out that she had already seen that I was in this burst, pretending not to know, rushing left and right, just waiting for this moment. Han Xuzi's heart sank, and he was about to move, but he found that his legs were a little soft.

"It's not good, it's because of the poisonous fog just now. As soon as his mind moved, the long sword in Han Xuzi's hand shook and turned into an air shield in front of him.

An object flew out of the woman's hand, whirling and striking on the air shield. She herself did not attack Han Xuzi, but rolled on the ground and hid behind Han Xuzi.

"She actually made a false move and made me a barrier to avoid the sword qi in the array. Haha, I told you to hide!" Han Xuozi was fierce by nature, and he was extremely disgusted with this woman's behavior, so he didn't hesitate anymore, he threw the long sword and withdrew the air shield.

The whirling thing swept over the top of the Void's head, scattering his silver hair, and flying back into the woman's hand, but it was a half-moon-shaped silver lock. The giant sword condensed by several sword qi in the air roared wildly, piercing out of Han Xuzi's body and shooting straight at the woman.

The woman never expected that Han Xuzi would fight so hard for her life at this moment, she was stunned, and when she made another move, it was too late.

Han Xuzi fell to the ground with a bang, the formation was retracted, and the woman also covered her face and rolled on the ground.

"Boss-" Suddenly, all the disciples of Kunlun jumped up one after another, wanting to protect Han Xuzi.

"Bang" A black mist shot out of the woman's sleeve, and there were thousands of poisonous insects. When everyone dispersed the black fog, the woman had disappeared.

There were loud voices in the distance, and it should be the "Nayun Master" who was patrolling the city who rushed to hear the news.

"Let's go!" Ling Xuzi spurted blood from his mouth and waved his hand.

"That sword qi is born in my heart, and it won't hurt my life. But if she holds me hostage and breaks the formation with me, it will be a great shame for my Kunlun!"

In the inn, Han Xuzi was covered with scars, but he was still indignant, "It's a pity that I fell into her trap today, otherwise I would have been able to take her down." By the way, how are the injuries of the two disciples under your door?" Han Xuzi turned his head and asked Xixin.

The demon girl shot viciously, and the two of them were too seriously injured to return to the sky. Xixin shook his head and clapped his fists with his hands, his eyes blood-red.

Ling Xuzi's expression became a little gloomy: "Then it will be good to give birth to relatives ......"

"It's been some time since Senior Brother Qichen has been tracking people down, do I want to pick it up?"

"I'll go with you!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded, but the dust actually returned.

"How?" asked the crowd.

"The demon girl was very cunning, and she went around the city for a long time, and finally disappeared on the bank of Nameng Zhuze. But Chen shook his head, "It's dark, and it's hard to find." Early tomorrow morning, I will take a few more disciples to Zeban to search carefully. ”

Someone knocked on the door again, but it was Mo Li and Yu'er.

Since the last time I saw the image of Lizhu in tears, Yu Er has been depressed and unhappy, not thinking about tea and dinner, and has lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Han Xuozi knew that she was sad in her heart, so she only asked Mo Li to chat with her every day, and did not allow her to act with the Kunlun disciples.

The two heard that the Kunlun people had returned to the inn and hurried over to inquire about the news. Seeing Ling Xuzi's injury and asking about the situation, they were all shocked.

"Old Daoist, this is really ......" Before Mo Li could open his mouth, Han Xuzi stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Mr. Mo, don't be polite." If you don't capture this woman, you won't be able to find your brother, and you won't know how my son was assassinated. I'm just helping heaven and earth to uphold righteousness, and I'm also asking for an explanation for my Kunlun!"

Mo Li nodded frequently: "The Tao is long and bone-like, and the younger generation admires it." It's just that your injury matters, do you need to find someone to take a look? ”

"It's not in the way, the old man has already taken my Kunlun 'Yuping San'. The residual poison in the mist was forced out by me, and the sword qi only passed through the cracks between my internal organs and bones, and it was not tight. This lunch is for her husband to wash the marrow and loosen the bones, only to miss her salary, and the next time we meet, we will double it. Ha ha. ”

Ling Xuozi actually laughed, and when everyone saw him like this, they gradually relaxed their hearts.
