81_81671The entire floor of the second floor is made of emerald green marble, which is much cleaner and neater than the stone brick floor on the first floor. Several long jade screens separate the hall from the private rooms, each reflecting a faint sheen under the light of the candles, adding a hazy beauty to the whole room. Whether it is the hall or the private room, all the windows are closed, and all are pasted with special colored paper. No person whose spiritual power has cultivated no more than the fifth order can see the situation inside from the outside.

Several dancers danced in the hall to the music. These dancers all have graceful postures and long shawl hair, and their thin tight-fitting gauze skirts subtly frame their figures. They don't feel the cold at all, because the paper that sticks the windows also protects them from the wind. They all wore white masks on their faces, covering the area below their eyes. A faint aroma emanated from them and wafted across the hall.

"Good!"

"Good!"

The dancing and aroma of the dancers seemed to be incomparably infectious, attracting almost all the guests sitting in the hall. The guests put down their glasses, raised their hands high, and applauded vigorously. The only people who could not be moved were the musicians who were playing the instruments on the side, and the two young men sitting in the corner.

The two young men were dressed like all the other guests sitting in the hall on the second floor, the standard dress of the wealthier people in the Northwest, covered with a silk robe on the outside and a cotton robe on the inside, with bracelets on their hands and white masks on their faces like the other guests. The two of them also ordered a table of wine and food, and drank wine while watching the song and dance. The blue-haired, golden-eyed youth sitting on the left side of the table drank very quickly, basically with his head down, and did not watch the dance much. The black-haired and blue-eyed young man sitting on the right side of the table didn't drink very quickly, taking several sips of a glass of wine, his eyes fluttering from side to side from time to time, either looking at the dancer in the center of the hall or at the colored paper pasted on the window. No one noticed that his eyes were different from everyone else's, as sharp as two knives. He slowly swept his eyes over everyone in the room, occasionally raising his hand and clapping it twice to meet the applause of the other guests. Whether it was all the other guests, or Xiao Er and the maid who served the wine and food, it was as if they didn't see them.

The back alley of Xiangyun Building.

A slight creak sounded on the stone pavement. The sound was soft, lighter than the midnight wind. If you don't prick up your ears, you won't be able to hear clearly.

The old man, dressed in peasant attire, pulled the wooden cart behind him, and walked step by step into the alley, past one house after another. His steps were not slow, but they were steady, and there was hardly any sound coming from his feet. This backstreet alley is so narrow that even horse-drawn carriages can't drive in. The old man's two wooden carts were just enough to squeeze in. Every house in the alley or in the backyard of the house has no windows, only a back door. The vast majority of the back doors are locked from the inside.

"Huh?"

The old man stopped suddenly, let go of the cart, clenched his hands into fists, and turned his head sharply, staring at a wall behind him. His aura suddenly became much stronger, not like the breath of an old man. The wall was just an ordinary brick wall, completely invisible in the darkness.

"Who's there?"

No one answered his words. A cold wind blew through the mouth of the alley, blowing his dirty, torn robes, and rattling the tiles of several houses.

He jerked his head up again, and looked at the top of a slightly lower house in front of him to the right. The roof of that house was pointed, a little more inclined than the roofs of several other houses. He still didn't see a single figure.

A silver-gray hand suddenly appeared silently behind his back and grabbed straight at his neck.

The old man hurriedly turned around and pushed his right arm back hard. The gray figure appeared behind him, and instead of grabbing and pushing, he pushed his right elbow with one palm. His body was immediately pushed two steps, nearly losing his center of gravity and nearly falling to the wall, while the gray figure did not move at all.

The old man roared, shook his head, regained his position, and punched the gray figure. A pair of blue-purple wolf-headed fists appeared on top of his fists, emitting a dark blue electric light. Three dark blue spirit circles appeared on him, and third-order and fourth-order thunder-attribute spiritual power fluctuations spread out from his body.

The gray figure took a step forward in an instant, and both palms were pushed out at the same time, the left palm met the old man's right fist, and the right palm hit the old man's left chest. A faint gray air stream spread out from under his feet, enveloping the ground within a radius of several meters. The entire area shrouded in gray air flow seemed to fall into a vacuum in an instant, and no sound could be heard, nor could any trace of spiritual power be felt.

"Uh......"

The old man's right fist was firmly grasped by the gray figure's left palm, and all the electric light was extinguished instantly. The gray figure's right palm struck the old man in the left chest, pinning him to the wall. A layer of gray spiritual power fluctuations instantly spread all over his body, locking all the spiritual veins in his body.

"You ......"

The old man clenched his teeth, and just as he was about to say something, the right palm of the gray figure suddenly lifted up, stretched out to his neck, and pulled it hard, pulling off something that resembled a piece of skin. It was a rough mask of human skin.

Underneath the mask is a young face. This face is not only not old, dirty, or ugly, but also a little white and delicate, looking a bit like a scholar, and maybe even a student who is still in school. His eyes were indeed blue-purple, but there was a hint of black in them.

"Where's Xie Bao?" the gray figure's voice was low, cold as ice.

"Who are you? What are you going to do? I don't know what you're talking about! Let go of me!"

The young man shouted hoarsely, shook his head vigorously, and twisted his body to cry for help. The empty alley did not produce any echo. He only felt that the spiritual veins in his whole body had been emptied, and he couldn't condense a trace of spiritual power.

"You know what I'm talking about. ”

The gray figure opened his right hand again and grabbed the young man's neck. With the exception of his face, his entire body was revealed from the night. But all young people can see is gray air currents and spiritual power fluctuations. The other two figures appeared on the other side of the alley and walked slowly. One of the figures walked up to the stinking cart and, with a lift of his hand, tore the seal from the cart.

"No...... Don't ......"

The young man wriggled his head and struggled in vain. He knew that the strength of the person in front of him was much higher than his own. Even if he didn't hit the boxing gloves he set and wasn't attacked by him, he wouldn't be his opponent. Moreover, his spiritual power seems to be a very rare void attribute......

"Where the hell is Xie Bao? And where is your other accomplice? You should be seven people. They can't still be out there. ”

"I ...... I really don't know what you're talking about......" the young man continued to harden his mouth.

The man walking towards the cart grabbed a piece of wood and forcibly removed it from the cart. Gray spiritual power fluctuations spread to his feet, completely blocking out the sound of him tearing down the board. The man released a light red glow that illuminated the hold. The warehouse was filled not with dung tanks, but with many slender porcelain bottles. Each bottle is sealed with a double layer of paper. But even so, they still stink.

"Mr. Lee. That's right. It's a hundred bottles in total. These should be the hundred bottles of boiling blood wine. ”

"Good. ”

Li Wenxin nodded, grabbed the young man by the collar, picked him up, and lifted his feet off the ground.

"I want you to tell me where Xie Bao and the man next to him are now. Also, where is the door or secret passage into your den? ”

"I don't know, I really don't know......," the young man continued to shake his head, his hands and feet twisting, "I'm just in charge of getting the goods here and putting them down...... I don't really know anything else......"

"Okay. ”

Li Wenxin sneered, withdrew the spiritual power around his face, and revealed his face. He stretched out the fingers of his right hand, and two faint silver lights released from the fingertips, and pointed at the young man's neck. The young man snorted, fell to the ground, and fainted.

Two vigilantes walked up to him at the same time. With a wave of his hand, the vigilante who turned on the cart released a crimson sword light that cut through the young man's robe. A dark blue fox-like tattoo appears on his waist.

"Yes, it was him. This hundred bottles of boiling blood wine should also be right. ”

"Whether there's anything wrong or not, we'll have to take it back for testing," said another vigilante, "but their plans seem to have changed." This is different from the confessions of those guys. ”

"yes," said the red-haired vigilante, "we can only detect five people. Among them, there was no existence close to the third order and seventh order. This means that Xie Bao and the rest of the people are likely to be outside the city. Moreover, they actually handed over all the hundred bottles of boiling blood wine to this one person for transportation......"

"That's because they didn't expect us to ambush them," Mr. Li said, "and this man's best skill should be disguise, not combat." If a few of us hadn't fortified the city gates, a few of them would have been able to trick the soldiers defending the city into bringing in safely. Their accomplices must be preparing to pick up the goods. ”

"So what should we do now?" the red-haired vigilante asked.

"Let's wait," Mr. Li said, "and we'll go into hiding again." I signaled to the 'positive' people that there was a change in plans and that they were waiting for orders from headquarters. We are also waiting for orders from headquarters. Don't be discovered by their people, or they are likely to destroy the evidence or take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it. ”

"Okay. Both replied at the same time.

After just a few breaths, the three of them immediately disappeared into the alley with the wooden cart and the unconscious young man. The entire alley was empty and silent again
