When Han Qing and Duan Feng returned to the inn, the entire inn was already in a mess, and there were several corpses lying in the living room on the first floor, all dressed as civilians.

Han Qing and Duan Feng hurriedly ran upstairs and found the injured Liu Yuwei and Su Yanjun, and the two hurriedly greeted them, "Are you okay, you guys?"

"We're fine, what's going on here?" Duan Feng looked at Liu Yuwei and the two, and the injuries of the two seemed to be fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It's fine, just some skin trauma. ”

"How's Princess Zheng?" Han Qing prompted.

The four of them hurriedly came to the zheng's room, the room was also chaotic, Du Tong sat on the bed, hugged the trembling Zheng tightly, and saw Duan Feng and others coming, Du Tong gently put the Zheng down on the bed.

"Are you alright?" Duan Feng asked steadily.

"It's okay, just a little frightened, just rest for a while. ”

Duan Feng looked at the zither on the bed, originally her face was silver-white, but after this incident, her face became even more pale, and her eyes flashed with fear.

"Let's go out and talk. Duan Feng turned around and left the room, and then everyone also walked out, and Du Tong calmed the kite a few words before gently closing the door.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Dutong.

Duan Feng told him and Han Qing how they found the man in black, how they pursued, and how they repelled the man in black, and after listening to it, Du Tong suddenly realized, "It seems that you have fallen for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

"It seems so. ”

"How are you here?"

"At that time, I also saw a man in black flying over the roof, but I was worried about the kite, so I didn't chase it out, and then the two of you chased after it, I quickly ran to the kite's room, and happened to meet Miss Liu and Miss Su, and you didn't have long to go, and the man in black broke in. They kill people when they see them, at first we thought they were just ordinary robbers, but then we found out that although they killed people on sight, they would carefully identify them after each killing, as if they were looking for someone, until they broke into the second floor, and we realized the seriousness of the matter. ”

"But strangely, when we fought them, the men in black didn't seem to mean to kill us, and I could feel that they didn't use their full strength during the fight. A few men in black were pestering us at the inn, while others ran into the room and rummaged around. Later, when a whistle was heard, the men retreated. ”

Listening to Du Tong's narration, a thought flashed in Duan Feng's mind, among their group, except for the silver taels in the package, the two magic swords in their hands were worth risking their lives to snatch, but how did they know about this matter when they found the magic sword tightly for a day?

In order to confirm their suspicions, Duan Feng and the others returned to the room, the room was churned up, and the package was scattered all over the ground, but the silver taels in the package were not missing.

"Looks like they're really coming for the magic sword. Han Qing said worriedly.

"But how did they know about this?" Liu Yu wondered slightly.

"Could it be that the Void Child betrayed us?"

"Unlikely, if he betrayed us, he wouldn't have had to hand over the magic sword to us in the first place, so why bother like this?"

"In any case, we can't stay here any longer, we have to get out of here. Ouyang Xuan had been quietly observing the surroundings and did not interject during the period.

Ouyang Xuan's appearance made Liu Yuwei feel very uncomfortable all the time, she had been close to Duan Feng all the way, for fear that Ouyang Xuan would get too close to him, Ouyang Xuan naturally understood in her eyes, so she also felt that she kept a certain distance from Duan Feng.

Miss Ouyang was right. After Duan Feng finished saying this, he looked at Liu Yuwei next to him, swallowed the words back to his mouth, and then popped out two words: "Let's go." ”

Everyone packed their bags and left the inn. Before leaving, looking at these innocent guests who died because of him, Duan Feng felt a trace of guilt, but then calmed down again, he knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, and he needed to adapt as soon as possible. Duan Feng took out a sum of silver and handed it to the owner of the inn as compensation.

After a night of running, everyone came to a tea shop at an intersection, Duan Feng looked at the surrounding environment, the field of vision was wide, it was difficult to ambush, and once there was danger, the four directions could escape, so everyone stopped and prepared to rest.

A person who looked like a little two, with a gray-blue towel on his shoulder, held a few tea bowls in front of everyone, and then poured a few cups of herbal tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, use it slowly. "The shopkeeper has a bow on his body, which is regarded as a salute.

"Okay, you go down first. Duan Feng responded.

Duan Feng said: "That group of people last night doesn't seem to be ordinary bandits, why do their martial arts look so familiar?"

Han Qing said: "Yes, although they try their best to hide their tricks, but judging from their body shape and footwork and their strength, these people should be qizi. ”

"Qizi?how come?" Su Yanjun said and looked at Liu Yuwei, she was staring at the teacup with a frown, as if she hadn't heard Han Qing's words.

Han Qing said: "Do you remember, when we were fighting, they seemed to know our tricks well, and they restrained them everywhere, if it wasn't for our aura being higher than theirs, we would have almost been successfully suppressed by them." ”

Duan Feng nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's true." ”

Han Qing said again, "The most important point is that when you were about to summon the Ice Snake, they suddenly retreated. ”

"It's a little suspicious. ”

Han Qing continued: "The spirit power of the Ice Snake is unfathomable, once it is summoned, those people will definitely die. These people should have retreated only because they were afraid of the Ice Snake, but the power of the Ice Snake was only known to a few of us and the Qi Zi of Phoenix City, how could these people know?"

Duan Feng said, "You mean, these people are not only qi but also qi in Phoenix City?"

Liu Yuwei suddenly said: "Impossible! How could my brother do such a thing?"

Only then did Han Qing remember that Liu Nanchun was the young commander of the Qi Control Division, and Qi Zi came out to carry out this kind of assassination mission, which must have been allowed by Liu Nanchun, and if this was the case, then Liu Yuwei would be even more unable to face Duan Feng. So he immediately stopped and did not continue.

Duan Feng looked at Liu Yuwei in disbelief, the air around him slowly solidified, and at this time, Ouyang Xuan opened his mouth and said, "It doesn't have to be someone from your brother's faction. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Duan Feng asked.

Ouyang Xuan told everyone what happened in Phoenix City when he left Phoenix City, it turned out that since Duan Tiande's death, Phoenix City was taken over by Liu Nanchun, and after Ouyang Zhen's strong recommendation, Liu Nanchun finally became the new city lord of Phoenix City, and in return, Yun Tianlong successfully became the archdeacon of the Qi Control Division, although the power is not as great as Shao Si's life, but with the strong financial resources of Qingshui Villa, it is not difficult to secretly cultivate a group of his own qi.

"In other words, last night's assassin is likely to be a ghost caused by Yun Tianlong?" Duan Feng said.

"I can't figure out why my brother would want such a bastard to be in charge of the Qi Division. Liu Yu said slightly angrily.

"Of course, all this is just speculation. ”

"It must be him!" Liu Yu said angrily.

Duan Feng said, "What did Yun Tianlong send people to do? Could it be for the Demon Sword? But how could he know about the Demon Sword? And how did he know our whereabouts?"

Liu Yuwei looked at Ouyang Xuan and said, "I'm afraid someone is tipping the news, right?"

Ouyang Xuan glanced at Liu Yuwei and didn't respond, Han Qing asked at this time: "It's been so long, Miss Ouyang doesn't seem to have told us the reason why you are looking for the magic sword, I don't know if Miss Ouyang has something to say now?"

Duan Feng also looked at Ouyang Xuan at this time, and when Ouyang Xuan saw it, he knew that he couldn't hide, so he said, "Okay, since everyone doubts me, I might as well tell everyone." I don't know if you still remember when my father chose to be a gasboy?"

Of course, Duan Feng will not forget this incident, it was this incident that opened the prelude to the decline of the Duan family, and it was also the whole thing*.

Ouyang Xuan said: "At the beginning, my father was ordered by the emperor to go to Phoenix City to select qi as the guards to guard the emperor's tomb, and after the mission failed, my father continued to look for the guards of the tomb from other places. Although the right person was finally found, it was not enough. According to the observations over the years, the aura of the Imperial Tomb is weakening year by year, and the dark forces of the Demon Realm are constantly attacking the Imperial Tomb. ”

"Aren't there mausoleum guards?" Duan Feng asked.

Ouyang Xuan said: "The aura of the guards guarding the tomb mainly comes from the imperial tomb, if the aura of the imperial tomb is weakened, the spiritual power of these guards will also be weakened. But over the years, the aura of the Emperor Tomb has gradually weakened, and the dark power of the demon world has been increasing year by year. So, the Emperor sent me to the Netherworld Valley to find out the reason, that is, when I met you in the Hundred Beast Forest. ”

Duan Feng then remembered that he still wondered how Ouyang Xuan could appear in the Hundred Beast Forest in the first place, it turned out that it was because of this.

Ouyang Xuan said: "When I arrived in the Netherworld Valley, I found that the protective shield that originally sealed the Demon Venerable was gradually weakening, which showed that the Demon Venerable's magic power was gradually recovering. Later, I reported the matter to the Emperor, who convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, and later someone mentioned the Demon Sword, so the Emperor sent me to find the Demon Sword. ”

"Could it be that the Emperor wants to use the Demon Sword to enhance the aura of the Emperor Tomb?" Duan Feng wondered.

"I don't know much about this, but according to what the emperor said, the day the demon sword gathers is the time when the demon venerable is born, coupled with the abnormal behavior of the demon world in recent years, the emperor is worried that the magic sword will fall into the hands of the demon world, so he sent me to find the magic sword. ”

When Duan Feng heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "I see, so our ultimate goal is the same. Also, if those people were sent by Yun Tianlong, with Yun Tianlong's character, why didn't he let these people kill us directly?"

Han Qing said: "All these questions, I'm afraid you can only find the answers to them in Phoenix City. ”

Han Qing looked at Duan Feng, Duan Feng didn't want to go back to the place that made him sad, but in order to figure out all this, Duan Feng still decided to change his plan and return to Phoenix City, moreover, he had been gone for so long, he didn't know how his eldest brother was, and he also wanted to see his eldest brother.

"What about the search for the magic sword?" Su Yanjun reminded.

"There is still a period of time before the half-year appointment, and before we figure out the specific situation of the matter, the matter of the magic sword can only be put aside for a while, and I also want to go back and see. Duan Feng had always suspected the true cause of his father's death, but he didn't like to tell Liu Yuwei what he doubted.

"What about Fei'er?" Liu Yu said worriedly.

"Fei'er?" Duan Feng's eyebrows showed a hint of worry, but then disappeared, he looked at the zither behind him, and said slowly: "Fei'er will be fine for the time being." ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

After everyone rested for a while, they set off to return to Phoenix City, Duan Feng was a little bored along the way, and every step forward, a trace of panic added to his heart, and he didn't know how to face that sad place.

The journey was not easy for Liu Yuwei, Liu Yuwei silently prayed in her heart that all this was done by Yun Tianlong, and she didn't believe that her brother would do such a thing.

Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and there wasn't much conversation along the way.
