Chapter 139: Doubts
With the help of Lie Yukou to stop the Lanling situation, Pan Long was able to get out, jumped up, the wind under his feet, and flew towards the northwest with a roar.
Of course, the northwest was not the direction where the Dragon Slaying Treasure was located, but in front of the two immortals, he went straight to the Dragon Slaying Treasure...... He couldn't do that anyway.
His plan was to go in the direction of Zhongzhou Shendu first and see the situation from afar—as far as possible, at least a hundred miles away.
Although it may not be safe to say that it is a hundred miles away, it is better than the news of the Dragon Slaying Treasure being leaked.
The matter of slaying the dragon treasure is very important, especially the news that Wen Chao's remnant is hiding in it, he didn't even tell the teacher, how can it be known by others?
Lan Lingquan and Lie Yukou should be old friends with the teacher, but the concepts of the three are probably a little different. But no matter how old friends are, at least one thing, Pan Long can be sure.
The teacher wanted to ambush the emperor firmament, but he didn't ask the two of them for help!
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, the teacher didn't really trust them in this life-and-death matter.
Pan Long didn't know why the teacher did this, but he trusted the teacher's decision.
He is not clear about the grievances and interpersonal relationships between these seniors, and what he can believe is only the judgment of the teacher.
Since the teacher did this, there must be a reason for her.
(just...... Lanling even handed over his mastery to the teacher, and Lie Yukou listened to the voice, it should be the Taoist who guided me in the Dongling Pagoda at the beginning, and his attitude was quite friendly, and he was more willing to help me stop Lanling...... Why don't teachers trust them?)
He thought in his heart, the wind was whistling under his feet, and in just a moment, he had already flown to the boundary of Zhongzhou.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a puff of smoke rising from a town on the ground.
"Huh?" Pan Long subconsciously stopped the wind under his feet and looked closely, but saw that there were fires in many places in the town, and many people were running around, turning into a pot of porridge.
"Strange! That town seems to be quite large, and there must be innate masters in it. Why don't you come to help when there's a fire?" he muttered to himself, and after a moment's hesitation, he weakened the wind and landed toward the town.
Water and fire are the most ruthless, this town is full of smoke at the moment, and there are several flames, if you don't come to the rescue, I'm afraid that at least dozens or hundreds of people will die. Add to that the damage caused by the fire...... In the end, hundreds or thousands of people died, it is not impossible.
Of course, Pan Long was worried about the situation on the teacher's side, but he couldn't watch the disaster happen in front of him and walk away by himself.
(Lan Ling also said that with the teacher's skills, even if he can't win, he can escape.) What's more, the teacher has been preparing for so long, in order to ambush and kill the emperor's firmament. There is no reason why the ambush failed, but he gave himself to the head...... )
He muttered in his heart, seeing that he was close to the ground, and as soon as he grasped the void in his hand, the water in a small river near the town tumbled, turned into a column of water and rose into the sky, split into several streams in the air, and sprayed down towards several fires.
I only heard the sound of sizzling, and in a few moments, the fires were extinguished by the water columns, but the smoke was thicker, and people were choked.
Pan Long couldn't help but shake his head, but fortunately, the fire had been extinguished, and a catastrophe was finally avoided.
He was about to leave, when suddenly his nose moved slightly, and he vaguely smelled some blood.
The fireworks here are extremely heavy, but they still can't cover the smell of blood, which shows that it is not ordinary people who kill chickens and fish, but they are afraid that they are dead!
Fires, dead people...... The connection between the two things naturally led him to the idea of the term "murder and arson".
In that case, he can't just walk away.
With a sigh, he walked in the direction from which the smell of blood had come.
Bypassing a few houses and passing through the streets, the houses are getting taller and more luxurious, but the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.
(Could it be that a large family has been robbed?)
Pan Long was pondering, and suddenly he was stunned and stopped.
The front house was filled with smoke, which was one of the previous fires. Although the fire was extinguished at this moment, the smoke was still thick. But through the smoke, he could clearly see many corpses lying in pools of blood.
The bodies all had significant external injuries on their bodies, clearly killed by someone. Looking at the surrounding traces, there are five innate masters fighting here. One of them won, not only killing the other, but also killing all the people in the house who didn't have time to escape.
(No!) These people gathered nearby, as if they hadn't had time to escape, and most of them were armed with weapons...... They are going to form a formation and besiege the attackers!)
Pan Long took a closer look and changed his judgment again.
Moreover, he also discovered one thing - a congenital master who died here used an iron ruler made of dark iron.
The Iron Ruler is a unique weapon that is similar in length to a sword, but lacks a blade, making it suitable for subduing rather than killing opponents. The people who can use this kind of weapon are generally people in the government.
Could it be that this person is an innate master who guards the local area?
As soon as Pan Long examined the corpse, he confirmed his conjecture.
This person had just died, and the true qi in his body had not yet been completely dissipated, and it was indeed one of the official popular internal skills of Great Xia, "Heroic Ambition".
Heroic ambition is an internal skill that is conducive to quick success, but at every critical moment in cultivation, you must go to the Martyrs' Shrine and break through with the help of the power of the heroic soul. Therefore, although the Great Xia Imperial Court did not keep it secret, except for people with official backgrounds, it was useless for ordinary people to practice at all.
The power of the heroic soul remaining in the Martyrs' Shrine is only recognized by the imperial court. If you don't get the edict of the imperial court as evidence, even if you dismantle the martyrs' shrine and dig three feet into the ground, you won't get a single star.
Yuan Xu, the town lieutenant of Dingfeng Town, changed this practice after entering the court as an official, Yuan Xu and Pan Shouqing are brothers and sisters, and Pan Lei and Pan Long father and son have always regarded him as an elder and respected him, and they have close contacts with each other. Pan Long is very familiar with this special internal skill.
The master who died here was even more profound in cultivation than Yuan Xu, and I am afraid that he had already attained the congenital perfection of the four differences. Coupled with the help of the three newcomers next to him, as well as the formation of twenty or thirty martial arts practitioners, even in the face of the great masters at the peak of the innate peak, they can win the battle.
As a result, they all died here, and not even one of them could escape.
Among the innate masters that Pan Long has seen, there may be people such as He Ping'an, the king of the Nine Mountains, Jiang Bei, the ethereal son, and the thin demon master who doesn't know his name, who has probably reached this level.
...... If his father draws his sword, he should also have this ability, but Pan Long has never seen his father use his left-handed sword, so he is doubtful for the time being.
Of course, Pan Long himself can do it.
Kyushu is so big, the hidden dragon is crouching tiger, I didn't expect to see a top person in the innate realm here!
He nodded and turned to leave.
The murderer has already gone away, and there is nothing to be done to stay here, so it is better to leave as soon as possible and go to the gods to talk about it.
He had just taken a step when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he turned his head to look at the corpse of the official master.
The corpse's posture is a little strange!
He hurriedly walked over and removed the corpse, only to see that on the masonry under the corpse, there was a bloody character "ginger".
"Jiang, could it be that he left this word to explain the identity of the person who killed him?"
Pan Long put the body back in and frowned.
Just a "ginger" word doesn't mean anything, but if it corresponds to the martial arts of the murderer...... Could it be that someone killed someone here, it was none other than Jiang Bei?
He is a decent young man, how did he do the act of killing people and setting fires?
