Jungnam Mountains.

Somewhere on a high cliff, a group of black-clad men wearing bronze grimace masks stood silently in full armor, a deathly silence.

In front of the crowd, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest put his hands behind his back, with his back to the black-clothed man on the cliff, his eyes were sharp, and he was not angry and arrogant, it was Niu Shanyue, the head of the branch hall where Li Danian was.

Behind Niu Shanyue, a man in black knelt on the ground tremblingly, his body trembled slightly, and he secretly glanced up at him, his eyes full of fear.

After a while, Niu Shanyue spoke lightly and said, "Why did you come back alone, and what about the others?"

The man in black took a deep breath and said, "Special Envoy Lin found something unusual in the forest, and took his brothers to the depths of the mountain to investigate, so that the little one would come back first, so as not to delay the adult's business." ”

Niu Shanyue frowned slightly, and said, "But is it because of the vibration just now?"

The man in black nodded yes, but he didn't dare to look at Niu Shanyue, and there was an oppressive and unsettling atmosphere in the air.

After a while, Niu Shanyue spoke lightly and said, "How is the matter investigated, is there any progress?"

The man in black stiffened and said, "Judging from the traces left at the scene, Lord Dharma Protector is ...... They must have encountered a strong enemy and annihilated the whole army. ”

Niu Shanyue suddenly turned his head, snorted coldly, kicked the man in black to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Waste, can wipe out Li Danian quietly, everyone knows that the other party is a master, do you still need to tell me? Give you so many days to fool me with such a result, Ye Xiaohuan, Ye Xiaohuan, do you think your life is too long, or your wings are stiff, you think you can not take me Niu someone in your eyes!"

Ye Xiaohuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The hall master spares his life, it is really that the other party is too cunning and has not left any information, so the villain has no way to start, and please give Xiao another chance to atone for his sins." ”

Niu Shanyue smiled coldly and said, "If you want me to give you a chance, what are you!"

Ye Xiaohuan's body trembled even more, and said: "Although the murderer has not been found yet, it is not completely unfounded, I implore the adults to give a few more days, and the villain will definitely be able to find out the murderer." ”

Niu Shanyue's eyes condensed slightly, and said: "It's not impossible for me to spare you, you have to see if your discovery is worth your life." ”

Ye Xiaohuan swallowed violently and said: "In the past few days, in the process of tracking down the murderer, the villain found that the villagers of nearby Chiye Village were also looking for people, and the number of people they disappeared just matched the number of extra corpses we found in the dense forest, they suspected that it was their nemesis Yunxi Village, as long as we followed this line to investigate, I don't believe that we can't find the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Niu Shanyue thought for a moment and said, "When did this happen?"

Ye Xiaohuan said: "It's today." ”

Niu Shanyue nodded and said, "Bring someone over, I'll interrogate it myself." ”

I don't know what I remembered, Ye Xiaohuan was a little stunned, cold sweat broke out, and said, "This...... The villain is terrified...... In order to hide his whereabouts, all the villagers of Chino Village have been wiped out......"

Niu Shanyue was suddenly furious, and said: "Bastard thing, there is more than enough success and more failure, you actually disposed of such an important clue so hastily, do you still have me as a hall master in your eyes!"

As he spoke, Niu Shanyue took a step forward, and the consummate cultivation of the Spirit Vein Realm completely exploded, and a fierce coercion immediately rushed towards Ye Xiaoying's face, and his right hand was raised, and he was about to make a move.

In the void, there was a sudden agitation, and between the light and shadow, a black-clothed man wearing a silver grimace mask galloped from a distance at great speed, landed on the high cliff, and set off a strong wind, blowing sand and rocks on the cliff, and the grass and trees swayed.

"Greetings to Lord Incense!"

Almost at the moment when the black-clothed man with the silver grimace mask appeared, the anger on Niu Shanyue's face disappeared instantly, his face showed joy, and he knelt down respectfully, and the other black-clothed people also knelt down when they heard the sound.

......

Yunxi Village.

In the ancestral hall, because of the accident just now, there was a mess everywhere, and the people were panicked, and it was only after a long time that they slowly dispersed under the appeasement and persuasion of the elders.

Inside the inner hall, the doors and windows of an undamaged stone house were closed, the lights were dim, flickering and flickering, projecting from the screen window, and Mu Yiyang's thin figure could be faintly recognized as busy inside.

Outside the room, Chang Wei sat quietly on the edge of the wall alone, his face was pale and very ugly, and he was looking at the shadow on the ground in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Beside him, Chang Liang looked at him with a complicated expression, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end he forcibly endured it, sighed softly, and remained silent on the side.

After a while, Chang Wei's tone was gloomy, and he said, "Why, haven't you already said it, why do you still do this?"

Chang Liang's breath was stagnant, and he was about to speak, but Chang Dongping's old voice suddenly came at this time: "Wei'er, you have also seen today's events, Chang Chen is no longer the Chang Chen you know, and now he is just a puppet controlled by the evil god, if we don't strike first, it will be us who will be hurt at that time, we and your father are doing this for everyone's safety, one day you will understand." ”

Chang Wei felt bitter in his heart, raised his head and glanced at Chang Dongping, and said: "Seventh Uncle, in the end, you still don't believe me, just like you doubt Uncle Chang Shan's loyalty, but you don't know Chang Chen, he loves our big family more than anyone else, maybe we are all wrong......"

Chang Dongping's eyes shrank slightly, and he said with some annoyance: "Things have developed to this point, you still speak for that beast, are you worthy of your father who is lying in it and his life and death are unknown, how can you tell us to rest assured that the head of the family will be in your hands in the future!"

Chang Wei was still immersed in grief and said, "If it weren't for your hard work, what would have happened like this. ”

Chang Dongping was even more angry, with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and said: "The matter of the evil god is not trivial, the slightest mistake is the disaster of the destruction of the whole clan, and there is no room for the kindness of a woman, only a quick knife to cut the mess can stop the disaster, you are still young now, I don't blame you, but next time if you dare to say such a thing that does not know the severity, I will not tolerate it." ”

Chang Wei smiled bitterly, his mouth moved slightly, as if he was about to say something, but a "squeak" suddenly sounded, but the door on the side was gently opened, and Mu Yiyang revealed it.

Chang Wei and the others were all taken aback, and hurriedly walked towards Chang Chen, Chang Dongping spoke first, and said, "Xiao Mu, how is it?"

Mu Yiyang didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but looked at Chang Wei, and said with a gloomy face: "It turns out that you already knew." ”

Chang Wei's breath stagnated, his face showed shame, and said, "Xiao Mu, things are not what you think. ”

Recalling what happened at the sacrificial meeting just now, Mu Yiyang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Do you know?

After that, Mu Yiyang walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall without looking back, he already had a general understanding of the things about the evil gods, and he didn't want to judge more, now he just wanted to find Chang Chen quickly, so as not to have an accident for him.

Seeing Mu Yiyang walking away, Chang Wei felt a pain in his heart and said, "Xiao Mu, where are you going?"

Mu Yiyang paused, but did not look back, but looked indifferent, and said: "Uncle Chang Shan and your father are fine, but the knife edge is too close to the heart palace in your father's body, and he will ...... in the future I'm afraid I won't be able to use the power of the bloodline anymore, so you can do it yourself!"

Saying that, Mu Yiyang sped up his pace and walked outside, Chang Wei took a step forward, and was about to stretch out his hand to stop him, Li Danian on the side wished that Mu Yiyang would leave here as soon as possible, so as to escape the tracking of the Ghost Villa, so he blocked Chang Wei's way, and said with a cold face: "Chang Gongzi, the mountain is high and the road is far away, don't cross it!"

As a last resort, Chang Wei had no choice but to watch Mu Yiyang's back get farther and farther away from him, and his heart was full of confusion, as if something was slowly pulled out of his body by an invisible hand with his departure, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

In the room, Chang Huaiyuan woke up at some point, and happened to hear the conversation between Mu Yiyang and several people, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, struggling to get up from the bed, but he saw Chang Shan lying on a temporary wooden bed not far from him with a painful and unconscious face, and the memories of the past suddenly came out of his mind like a tide.

"Huaiyuan, you are going to be the patriarch in the future, it's not okay to be so cowardly, I will take you to the Black Wind Ridge tonight to practice your courage. ”

"Nonsense, I think you're cowardly and want to practice!"

......

"Huaiyuan, have you taken a fancy to the second girl of the fourth uncle's family, tomorrow I will help you break up the fourth uncle, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"Me and her are not what you think, don't talk nonsense everywhere, ruining the innocence of other girls. ”

"Then I won't ask my fourth uncle to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. ”

"Uh...... You better take it with you, so you can take care of it. ”

......

"Huaiyuan, you can rest assured to be your patriarch, if anyone dares to bully you because you are young, I will be the first to get along with him!"

"Don't be long-winded, you may not be able to beat me?"

"Not necessarily. ”

......

In the ears, the immature and sincere voices of the two in the past sounded again, Chang Huaiyuan's heart suddenly ached, those good memories have slipped away quietly and unconsciously over the years, and the intimate brotherhood has been invaded by the years of wind and frost, and it has long been unrecognizable, and they still can't resist the ruthless destruction of the carving knife of time after all.

"Am I really wrong?" Looking at Chang Shan, Chang Huaiyuan muttered with a sad look on his face.

Then, I don't know what he remembered, he suddenly laughed coldly and said, "No, I'm not wrong, I did this for the sake of the overall situation, if it were you, you would make the same choice as me!"

As he spoke, Chang Huaiyuan suddenly endured the severe pain and got up from the bed, staggered to Chang Shan's side, and then gritted his teeth violently, and while the power of the blood veins had not completely disappeared, a palm struck out and fell heavily on his chest.

Chang Shan snorted, suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness was awake for a short time, his eyes widened angrily, and said, "Why?"

Chang Huaiyuan's tone was cold, and he said, "Don't blame me, it's good for everyone to do this!"
