The place where Xiao Yan went is called Xunyang City, Xunyang City, which was originally a small place under the jurisdiction of the Huangfu family, and is now taken over by the Yanmeng, which is a good place with convenient transportation and picturesque scenery.

Although Xunyang City is not very large compared to other places, the population is definitely the largest number of people in several surrounding places, not because of anything else, just because this Xunyang City is known as the "land of fish and rice", it can be said that half of the grain of the entire Huangfu family comes from this Xunyang City.

And the Bai Ling Sect also knew the importance of Xunyang City, so it set up a larger stronghold here, one is to seize the large amount of food, and the other is to occupy a favorable position and develop contacts, maybe the Bai Ling Sect at that time had already moved the idea of working with the Huangfu family, and there were strongholds in the hinterland of the Huangfu family a long time ago, so as to facilitate future incidents.

In the past, the Huangfu family was always too arrogant, looked down on other forces, and even looked down on the cults of the Bai Ling Sect, and even more disdainful of dealing with them, as long as they did not take the initiative to provoke the Huangfu family, the Huangfu family always turned a blind eye to what they did, which also caused the Bai Ling Sect to put a large number of strongholds within the scope of the Huangfu family, although it was not blatant, but it was also a well-known thing.

But since the Bai Ling Sect helped Wan Jia seize power, and then was driven out by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan has been interested in the Bai Ling Sect, because he knows that dealing with the Bai Ling Sect is only a matter of time, so a long time ago, he had already asked the people under him to start investigating the affairs of the Bai Ling Sect, including how many strongholds they have, how many people are in each stronghold, what their strongholds usually do, etc., no matter how big or small, they have to do a detailed investigation one by one, and sure enough, this time it finally came in handy.

The stronghold of Xunyang City can be regarded as a medium-sized stronghold of the White Spirit Sect in the Jiangnan region, not even a middle-class stronghold, because the identity of the person sitting in the stronghold is very mysterious, and the people below have never seen their true faces, let alone their strength, so for the sake of insurance, Xiao Yan had to choose such a medium-sized stronghold as the target of this attack.

The topography of Xunyang City is more complex, it is high in the east and west, low in the middle, slightly higher in the south, and inclined to the north, it belongs to a low-lying place, and the location of the Bailing Sect's stronghold is still the most prosperous town center, although it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Yan League, but it is not good to do things too arrogantly, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among the local residents, which is not good for their name of the Yan League, besides, acting in the downtown area is also easy to cause unnecessary casualties to the residents, so we must find a way to lure them out.

As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Yan did not rush to contact the local person in charge of the Yan League, but changed his appearance, walking on the lively streets of Xunyang City like an ordinary person, while walking, observing the terrain and situation around the Bai Ling Sect's stronghold, after that, Xiao Yan sat down in a teahouse opposite the stronghold, the geographical location of this teahouse is very good, and you can just see the gate of the stronghold.

Xiao Yan hadn't been sitting here for long before he heard a commotion coming from the street.

"Don't run! Catch him for me! Get him! ”

I saw a sloppy and sloppy beggar man hurrying over from a distance, still holding a gray paper bag tightly in his hand, and behind him, two or three people with wooden sticks chasing him behind.

"Don't let me catch you, you thief, I'm going to kill you! Even Lao Tzu's things dare to steal, I really ate the gall of a leopard! There's a kind of you don't run! ”

The chasing man behind him cursed and kept shouting to the people on the street, "Get out!" Let's go! Give it all to me! ”

It seems that this beggar stole his things, and this stolen person should also be regarded as the number one person in Xunyang City, otherwise he would not dare to be so arrogant on this street in broad daylight.

After the beggar ran closer, Xiao Yan smelled the foul smell coming from his body, Xiao Yan noticed that he was already covered with wounds, and most of these wounds had suppurated, the skin and flesh that turned out had begun to rot and turn white, and there were flies flying around him from time to time.

The clearer he is, the more Xiao Yan admires this person, he is already like this all over his body, and he can still run so fast in pain, it can be seen that this person's previous body foundation should still be good, if ordinary people came, it is estimated that he would have been paralyzed there a long time ago.

The beggar galloped in front of Xiao Yan, originally this was just a small episode, Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that after the beggar ran over, a person standing at the door of the White Spirit Sect quickly flashed into the stronghold, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen people to come out of the stronghold, each holding a sharp weapon in his hand, and chased in the direction of the beggar's escape.

"A beggar can still alarm the White Spirit Sect? Interesting! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yan put down a few gold coins and followed in this direction.

I thought that under the pursuit of so many people, the beggar would definitely be caught quickly, but the truth was the opposite.

Xiao Yan followed all the way, only to see the beggar passing through the downtown area, then through the residential area, and then shuttling back and forth in many alleys, without the slightest sense of exhaustion, but those who were chasing him were panting one by one.

However, the majority of the people, and there were still two or three good qualities, who chased and fought all the way, and finally blocked the beggar into a narrow alley.

"Run! You run again! ”

"Don't think you've become like this, and you can run like this, it's really worthy of your past prestige."

The three White Spirit Sect members who blocked the beggar said with a smile, then pulled out the sword at his waist and forced towards the beggar step by step.

At this time, Xiao Yan was sitting on the roof not far away, watching every move below, he was very curious, what kind of beggar was he who could even alarm the White Spirit Sect by stealing something.

I saw that the beggar didn't raise his head, but just said lightly, "Can you let me live?" ”

Hearing this, the three of them laughed at the same time, and one of them walked up to the beggar with a sword and smiled, and the sword knocked the beggar on the head, "Give you a way to live?" Do you think you're still as surprised as you were at the beginning? I'm telling you, you're the one who has been losing your family all the time! Loser! Got it? ”

As the man spoke, he knocked the beggar on the head with his sword, and then Xiao Yan only felt that his eyes flashed with silver light, and then looked down, only to see that the sword that was originally in the hand of the person in the White Spirit Sect had already reached the beggar's hand, and the person in the White Spirit Sect who had insulted the beggar before was still standing in front of him, but there was an extra blood mark on his neck.

"What a fast sword!" Xiao Yan sighed in his heart, he could snatch the sword he was dealing with in an instant, and seal his throat with a sword, or it was done under the premise of being seriously injured, it seems that this person is not an ordinary person, but why did he fall to this?

Poof!

The man fell, and as he fell, so did the beggar, his body was close to the wall, even if he had the support of the sword in his hand, he couldn't resist the downward slide of his body, the move just now had used up all the strength of his body, and it also shook the wounds on his body, the pain and weakness made him unable to hold on anymore, and he slipped directly to the ground, and the blood on his body flowed down drop by drop.

Although they saw him slumped on the ground, the two people standing on the side still didn't dare to rush forward, after all, his original reputation was too great, and the deterrence of the sword just now made them have doubts in their hearts.

In the end, neither of them dared to step forward, so they took out a dart from their bosoms, smeared it with poison in front of the beggar, and threw the dart directly at the beggar opposite.

The beggar looked at the speeding darts and smiled helplessly, he had no strength at all, let alone to resist the darts, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky, the messy hair on both sides of his face sliding down from both sides of his face.

Seeing the beggar with a straight face, Xiao Yan's eyes were shocked, was he?!
