Chapter 020 Corpse
The boy's lips moved, as if he was saying something, but his voice was so low that he couldn't hear it clearly. Mo Feng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but get a little closer.
"This time...... It's just the beginning, it's far from ...... Come to an end. The young man laboriously spat out a word, as if he was not far from death, but at this moment, his right hand suddenly raised, and a blue sleeve arrow shot straight into Mo Feng's heart.
Mo Feng had been guarding against him for a long time, and it was not surprising at this moment, and his body dodged with a slight deviation. In terms of reaction speed alone, I am afraid that the masters of the Xuan Realm are not as good as him, how can he be easily plotted.
"It seems that you are not going to talk properly, and even if that is the case, I will not let you die too happily. Mo Feng's words revealed a chill in Sensen, but before the words fell, the corners of the young man's mouth had overflowed with a smear of black blood, and his head was tilted and he lost his breath.
Mo Feng looked at the corpse in front of him, his eyes lit up like a candle in the wind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Nian Yubai's lazy expression also became rare and serious, all this happened too fast just now, from the young man suddenly killing the killer to Mo Feng subduing him, it was less than a second in total. When he reacted, Mo Feng was already asking, and he couldn't interject to say anything, but this young man was obviously a carefully cultivated killer, and if he failed the mission, he would die, which made people feel chills.
"This ...... What's going on?" Zhou Sheng and Xu Mingyuan were already dumbfounded, not completely unaware of the situation.
Mo Feng didn't answer, because he couldn't figure it out himself. He just slowly crouched down and carefully examined the boy's body from top to bottom. As he expected, the boy was clean, and there was nothing superfluous except for the dagger and the Hidden Arrow. Obviously, the other party is also a veteran and will not leave any evidence of the handle.
Mo Feng picked up the dagger and the Hidden Arrow and looked at it, and finally put it down helplessly. These two spiritual weapons were also a lot of goods, and even the poison on the Hidden Arrow was an ordinary variety, and he couldn't get any useful information from them at all.
Nian Yubai watched Mo Feng's movements thoughtfully, and suddenly made a gesture to the secret, and then a man in sackcloth walked out of the corner, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Nian Yubai looked at him and said, "Since Jiuming Pavilion sent you to protect us, why didn't you make a move just now, and almost my friend was assassinated." The man in sackcloth looked at the corpse on the ground, and his brows furrowed even deeper: "Although this person only has the strength of the late stage of qi cultivation, he is really good at concealment, and before he did it, I only regarded him as an ordinary person." By the time I reacted, the battle was over. ”
"Can you actually hide it from the powerhouse?" Nian Yubai pondered for a moment, and took out a piece of medium-grade divine jade: "Please ask Jiuming Pavilion to help me check, what is the origin of this person, the more detailed the information, the better, if you encounter trouble, please inform me in time." ”
Seeing Nian Yubai's gesture so generous, the man in Mai couldn't help but jump his eyelids, even if he sold the Huazun powerhouse, it was not necessarily worth a piece of medium-grade divine jade. His face suddenly softened a lot, and he nodded and said, "Even if you don't say it, we will investigate it carefully." The people who dare to touch the protection of our Jiuming Pavilion don't know which force is so ignorant of life and death. ”
"Good. Nian Yubai just responded, and Mo Feng added: "Remember to dispose of the body after the investigation." ”
The man in sackcloth couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is this?" Mo Feng's face didn't have any extra emotions, and he said lightly: "I don't want to be seen by others." ”
There was already a faint guess in his mind. This encounter looked like an assassination, but as far as Mo Feng felt, it was more like a temptation. To have such a clever method of concealment, the forces behind the young man must not be simple, at least it is also a behemoth with a strong person in charge. If you really want to kill him, why send such a weak killer. If today's person were replaced by a cultivator of the Profound Realm, the outcome would be unpredictable.
This can only show that someone is secretly eyeing him and wants to know his specific strength. The more this is the case, the more Mo Feng has to hide himself, these people are sneaky, and they definitely don't have any good intentions.
The only thing I can't figure out is...... Who the hell wants to deal with him? He has only been in Canglan Prefecture for a short time, and he has not provoked any opponents. And Nanmingzhou has long been unified by him, and others don't know that he is the sect master of the Kamikaze Sect. Could it be that the Mo family heard something from there? But if it was really Mo Yang, if he didn't do it in his style, he would definitely do his best to kill himself as soon as he made a move, and he wouldn't just stay at the level of temptation.
Mo Feng couldn't figure it out, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered the man in black who peeked at him last night, could it be ...... Something to do with him?
Thinking of what the boy said before he died, "This is just the beginning, far from the end", Mo Feng felt heavy in his heart. He is not afraid of open swords and guns, but he is afraid of the enemies hidden in the shadows, especially ...... He didn't know what these people were for.
"Forget it, it's not safe on the street now, let's go to the academy and find a place to live. Nian Yubai glanced at Mo Feng worriedly, and finally said.
"I'll send you there. The man in sackcloth was no longer hidden in the dark, so he simply went to the academy with everyone. He was also a little derelict in his duties this time, but fortunately, Mo Feng reacted quickly, otherwise it is difficult to say what the outcome would be.
"Bring this corpse back, move neatly, and if something goes wrong, you should be careful of your head. The Mai man crushed a piece of jade, and after a while, three masters of the Xuan Realm appeared in front of him, and he probably told him what had just happened, and at the same time commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" the three of them were extremely honest in front of the Venerable Strongman, and they responded respectfully, and then put the corpse into the spirit ring and hurriedly left here.
Mo Feng looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and for some reason suddenly felt uneasy.
......
In the secluded streets and alleys, the three masters of the Mysterious Realm walked in a hurry, occasionally talking to each other. Suddenly, the wind picked up on the quiet street, and when the breeze blew past the three of them, they involuntarily stopped, their eyes bewildered and empty.
Two figures walked slowly from the other end of the street, one of them was dressed in luxurious purple, but his face was covered by a large black cloak, and the other was a middle-aged man in black with cold eyes.
"Hand over the body just now. The purple-cloaked man slowly walked up to the three of them and whispered softly. One of the masters of the Mysterious Realm had a dull and confused look in his eyes, and as soon as he touched the spirit ring, the corpse of the young man who had just been killed appeared on the ground.
The middle-aged man in black leaned down and took a closer look, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the young man's chest, then pressed his abolished right arm, and finally got up and concluded: "The target spiritual power is indeed in the late stage of qi cultivation, but the degree of purity can be comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of qi cultivation or even through the Xuan Realm. Moreover, the target did not use spiritual power when he abolished the No. 7 arm, and according to the strength, the target should still be an ancient martial artist at the peak of strong muscles. ”
The purple-clothed cloaked man bowed slightly, and said, "No. 7 has already suffered a heavy blow to his soul before he died, so it seems that the target must be a Holy Soul Master of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, either in the middle or late stage. ”
"Interesting, I've also seen a lot of fellow cultivators of the three major systems, but at the same time, there are still geniuses who have achieved a small degree in cultivation, and this is the first time I've encountered them. The middle-aged man in black smiled, but there was no trace of warmth in his smile.
The purple-clothed cloaked man also chuckled lightly and said, "And you made a preliminary test last night, and you were discovered by the target, this keen perception has nothing to do with soul power, it seems that the target is also a true genius sharpened between life and death." ”
"Then put him on the list and leave it for further observation. The middle-aged man in black made up his mind. "It's okay, now that he has entered the academy, many things are inconvenient. However, there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush too much. The purple-clothed cloaked man nodded, looked at the three masters of the Mysterious Realm again, and said lightly: "Take the corpse back, you continue." ”
Then the two looked at each other, as abruptly as when they came, turned around and disappeared at the end of the side street.
Then there were no more accidents, and the group returned to the academy smoothly and found a few rooms to live in temporarily. After all, they are formal disciples who have passed the assessment, and this right is still there.
Nian Yubai gave the Yuan Ling Divine Grass to Xu Mingyuan and asked him to recover well. At the same time, he also inquired about the residence of the third senior brother Wen Nianxuan, and was ready to find him to be accommodating to see if he could give Xu Mingyuan another chance.
He didn't plan to deliberately hide the matter of Yuanling Shencao, because many people saw it when he came out for Xu Mingyuan, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. Of course, Nian Yubai would not take the initiative to mention it.
What made Mo Feng most helpless was that Nian Yubai was not worried about his future situation at all. How could a young man who could buy the Yuan Ling Divine Grass be a person with a simple background? Sooner or later, this matter will be noticed by someone with a heart, and by that time, Nian Yubai will definitely attract a lot of attention, and with his current strength, he will not be able to control the field at all, God knows how much trouble there will be in the future.
However, Nian Yubai is so fearless, there must be his reasons. Mo Feng didn't think his friend was a simple-minded fool, so he didn't say much about these things.
"Brother Mo, I'm going to find the third senior brother, are you and I all the way?" Nian Yubai came to find Mo Feng after he finished preparing.
"All the way. Mo Feng saw that Nian Yubai had something to say, and he didn't call Zhou Sheng, so there must be some things to avoid others.
"Hmm. Nian Yubai and Mo Feng walked side by side on the path of the academy, with fine stones under their feet and soft green grass on both sides of the road, which looked very verdant and pleasant. The warm spring breeze gently blows, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants and the breath of life, everything seems peaceful and beautiful.
"Brother Mo, what's going on today?" After a moment of silence, Nian Yubai suddenly asked. Mo Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just thought about it for a long time, and I don't think I provoked any enemies." ”
Nian Yubai was silent for a longer time this time, his eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions, and he said, "I was in the inn last night...... Have you seen any suspicious characters?"
Mo Feng paused, turned his head to look at Nian Yubai's eyes, but couldn't understand the other party's emotions. After a long time, he said solemnly: "You also saw it?"
"Well," Nian Yubai nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally hesitated: "In short, you must be more careful, it is best to ...... Don't be alone, and don't leave the academy if you're fine. ”
Mo Feng looked at him quietly, and said thoughtfully, "Do you know something?" Nian Yubai showed a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not sure, so ...... Or don't say it. ”
