Three provinces in Jiangzhong, Yuanbei, Yuannan, Jianghuai.

The place where the bodies of the six martial arts masters of the three provinces of Jiangzhong were found was on a shoal in the Yuexun River in Jianghuai Province.

Six corpses were lined up.

Yuexun River has a characteristic, that is, the river water every month, when the moon is full, the river water rises, and when the moon is not the water level of the river slowly sinks, at the beginning of the month, the river water sinking water level is the lowest, and the riverbed can be seen when it is low.

These six missing martial arts masters, when they were found, their bodies were already soaked and swollen, and this morning happened to be the beginning of the lunar calendar, and the river receded to the lowest position, but the corpses of these six people, the hearts were hollowed out together, and even the scars were so neat.

Soon, when the villagers began to watch, everyone thought that these six people had suffered monsters.

Could it be a water monster?

Because the villagers who live in the Yuexun River usually make a living from fishing, and because of the unique characteristics of the Yuexun River, they catch up with the time when the river recedes quickly in the morning of the beginning of each month, even the laziest people in the village can pick up more than a dozen catties of the unique silver osmanthus fish in the Yuexun River.

And the price of this fish on the market is also quite gratifying, so there is a song around here.

There are many lazy ghosts beside the Yuexun River, and they all rely on picking up fish and selling them at the beginning of the month.

Pick up fish in exchange for eight buckets of rice, and you can sleep until three poles.

It is probably said that at the beginning of each month, the Yuexun River is the time when the villagers living in this vicinity are most concentrated.

However, when the villagers were most concentrated, such a strange thing happened, and even a wealthy family like the Xiao family could not cover this matter.

So six dead bodies were found by the Yuexun River, and the dead bodies collectively lost their hearts, and this matter went through the way, and the three provinces in the whole river knew about it

If these six masters were only masters of Jiang Huai Province, with the status of the Xiao family, they would be able to suppress the limelight of this matter.

However, it is a pity that the six martial arts masters who died were not all masters of Jianghuai Province, but also masters of Yuanbei and Yuannan.

Compared with the strength of martial arts, the two provinces of Yuanbei and Yuannan were originally handed over to Jianghuai Province, and the weaker the force value, the more important they were to their local martial arts powerhouses.

Four died at once, which caused strong resentment in the two provinces, which were already not strong in force.

This resentment was directly pressed on the head of the Xiao family.

Although your Xiao family has great financial resources, but the people are indignant, and the voice that will soon make the Xiao family step down, and even what Xiao Zhennan is inactive, incompetent, and unable to catch the murderer For understanding, he will go to the door of the Xiao family's property every two or three hours to make trouble.

made Xiao Zhennan not very annoying.

It's been two days since I received the letter from Li Siwen and Liang Muyan, but the murderer who killed the six martial arts masters has still not been caught, not even a shadow.

Xiao Zhennan originally thought that if the three provinces of Jiangzhong were safe and sound, he could have bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Siwen and the others.

Although he knew that his strength was not as good as Li Siwen's, this sentence was not in the demeanor of a martial arts master.

But since he saw the fierce battle between Li Siwen and the Millennium Turtle Spirit on the Lixing cruise ship, he finally killed the Millennium Turtle Spirit, which was bigger than the cruise ship, at his feet.

In addition to the inner shock, it is sincere admiration.

Although people in the martial arts are proud, but when the disparity in strength is too great, a sense of worship for a weak person to a strong person arises spontaneously.

Even if Xiao Zhennan does not admit that he is a weak, it is undeniable that he has a sense of admiration for Li Siwen in his heart.

Xiao Zhennan knew that the wolf killing organization was coming to Huaguo, and he didn't want to care about what kind of bloody wind Huaguo would be when the time came, because he received a letter half a year ago, which clearly stated that the wolf killing organization's plans for the future.

The leader of the wolf killing organization, Ning Ba, is a ruthless person, he was also once the martial arts Tianjiao of Huaguo, was persecuted by the Zhenguo government, and was forced to leave Huaguo and go overseas.

He has developed his power overseas for decades, but he has never joined any other nationality.

In other words, Ning Ba's identity is still a Chinese in the official sense, and he is also a conservative.

He was also a relative of the Great Family, and he had a natural desire to protect the Great Family.

If the whole force of the wolf killing organization is raised this time to bring down the Zhenguo Mansion of Huaguo, then these big families can change their plum heads that were pressed by the Zhenguo Mansion and raise their eyebrows and puff up.

Although Xiao Zhennan also has the idea of moving down the Zhenguo Mansion and making Xiao Guo's status in Huaguo's martial arts to a higher level. Love books

However, the masters of the Huo family were caught first, and then the entire family of the Qiao family was wiped out.

Xiao Zhennan really didn't dare to take any more risks, and the tragic price of standing on the wrong team was a lesson from the past dynasties.

He originally wanted to be neutral, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, as long as he didn't move, others would have no way to take him, at least he wouldn't move when the two forces didn't have a stake.

It's okay for the Xiao family not to express their position, but now it is still the world of Zhenguo Mansion, and the big family has to act according to the face of Zhenguo Mansion. The reason why you are a family can be powerful in one side of the land is because you have the ability to bring stability to this side of the land.

You can use your means to maintain the order of this side of the land.

As a result, if you can't even do the most basic of these two things, then, you, the so-called eight great families of Huaguo, Zhenguo Mansion is very likely to replace you.

And the Xiao family happens to be the youngest of the eight major families in Huaguo, although it has been connected with Dongying's forces in the past two years, and the status of the Xiao family in Huaguo has been advanced, but it is only on paper, and it seems to be so.

Xiao Zhennan felt that at this juncture, he couldn't offend the Zhenguo government, nor could he clearly express his stance to the wolf killing organization, and the most important thing he should do now was to protect the people.

But now that this big thing has suddenly happened, how can I hold the status of the Xiao family.

So Xiao Zhennan, as the head of the Xiao family, rushed to the Yuexun River overnight, he wanted to see how this Yuexun River, which he was familiar with, suddenly let the six martial arts masters die here.

There is a record on the ancestral traces of the Xiao family that there have been river demons around the Yuexun River.

But what the so-called river demon looks like, no one knows and no one has ever seen it, because everyone who has seen the river demon is dead.

Xiao Zhennan felt that the person who suddenly killed six martial arts powerhouses in a row this time must be a river demon.

Even if it is a river demon, then this thing must be very big, and the bigger the thing, the slower the reaction speed, then this river demon will not be able to go far, and he will wait for the demon beast to come out in this place where the accident happened.

and then kill them, as soon as this is done, their Xiao family can get rid of the possibility of being questioned by the Zhenguo Mansion.

So Xiao Zhennan stood on the shallows of the Yuexun River.

Watching the sky slowly darken, the moon rising from the west, and the summer heat completely receding, Xiao Zhennan has been standing on the bank of the river with his handrails and letting the river wind blow his clothes flying, and he has never moved a minute.

Until about three o'clock in the middle of the night, the night was so thick that I couldn't see my fingers, and the little halo of the moon in the sky was only enough to barely see the little glimmer on the surface of the river.

At this moment, a man carrying a basket came from a distance.

The man's clothes were particularly tattered, like rags, draped over his body, and through the holes in the cloth, the man's thin limbs could be seen, as well as the cheekbones that had protruded on his face because he was too thin.

Xiao Zhennan heard the sound of gravel being stepped on, and turned his head, although he still looked like an ordinary person, his five senses were completely different, especially since he entered the Grandmaster Realm, his vision was even better.

Even on this dark night, he could only see very clearly what the man who was walking towards them looked like.

He didn't feel anything unusual from this man's body, maybe it was a wandering beggar nearby, just passing by.

Xiao Zhennan continued to stand in the shallows with his hands behind his back, looking at the rushing Yuexun River in front of him.

The man dragged his body past behind Xiao Zhennan until he was close to a distance of two meters away from Xiao Zhennan's entourage.

You must know that Xiao Zhennan's entourage was selected to be matched by Xiao Zhennan's side after thousands of selections, in order to ensure the safety of the life of the head of the Xiao family, naturally there are some people with special abilities in this group of people.

One of them has a pair of eagle eyes, not to mention sharp, but can see things from a distance of thousands of meters, and can see things clearly in the dark.

When the man in rags approached, the attendant did not notice at first glance, but he heard the footsteps of the man walking, so he took a closer look by the faint moonlight.

Suddenly he shouted, "This man has no legs." The head of the house beware. ”

Bang, there was a gunshot.

A bullet pierced the man's rags and hit the man squarely in the chest.

It's just that this special empty armor bullet didn't have an effect.

There was a clatter of bullets against metal, and then the bullets, with a clatter, fell on the river beach, collided with the cobblestones, and flew several sparks.

"Brothers, that guy is not human, hit him."
