In a room on the second floor of an inn on North Street.

The upstairs is brightly lit, and the downstairs is bustling, Xiao Cong is still standing quietly in front of the window, motionless, silent, like a traveler who looks at his hometown with a very sad heart, even if he is on his back, but the endless melancholy in his eyes can still be imagined.

Yin Nuo was still sitting at the table, the strong tea had been changed for a few pots, I don't know what kind of sorrow he used tea as wine, and how he eliminated that sorrow, and I don't know why he was worried, he turned his face from time to time to glance at the silent Xiao Cong, the meaning in his eyes was incomprehensible, and finally he couldn't help but speak,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, is this really feasible?"

Xiao Cong was silent, and after a while, he said lightly:

"I believe in him. ”

"But ......"

Although Yin Nuo was unwilling, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach, continued to replace wine with tea, and borrowed tea to eliminate his sorrows, the oppressive atmosphere in the room seemed to make it gradually detach from this space, and the crowd shouted into a barren land, but it rose higher and higher, becoming a lone star in the sky, the height was unbearable, dancing to figure out the shadow, how it seemed to be in the world.

At midnight.

The moon is all hidden behind the black clouds, only a little yellow halo is revealed at the edge, like an inexplicable and hazy fog, and the scenery under the moon is even more easily unclear, it is still a deep layer and a shallow layer of black, but the relative distinction between them is a little worse than before, and it is almost mixed together, becoming more hazy than the hazy night.

It seems that tonight is beautiful, and this atmosphere is really suitable for assassination, which helps to bring the assassination ability to the extreme, and can even render it a little poetic and make it more beautiful.

Hongxiang was quietly thinking in his heart, his face was calm, except for indifference, he couldn't see any other expression, on the surface, he looked motionless like everyone else, but in fact, he fell into a deeper silence, because he was motionless in addition to the body, but also breath, and even spirit, this was taught to him by Xiao Cong before, although it was originally for assassination, but in fact it was only for refining the heart, the reason was that Xiao Cong thought that his practice was too impetuous, and he had to find some way to help him sharpen his temperament, because it was a matter of people's hearts, so he didn't think that he was almost cheating"Ice Heart Technique" taught him, and carefully found a set of assassination techniques to teach him, which is the one he is running now.

Just because of this incident, at the beginning of Hongxiang can be regarded as a bitter endurance, although he is smart and clever, he is also diligent and hardworking, but people have shortcomings, his shortcomings are that he can't sit still at all, if he learns something to do directly with real knives and guns, no matter how difficult it is, but if he learns assassination, it will cost him a small life, he has a lot of ideas, and he is yin enough when necessary, but why is this? It's not because of active thinking and unwilling to be lonely, of course, it may also be that in the early years, when I was called Hanako, I was used to begging all day long, so even after following Xiao Cong, I was always idle.

However, Xiao Cong did it this time, and he was ruthless to get rid of Hongxiang's stinky problem of thinking about it all day long, and deliberately found the most abrasive and boring technique to teach him in the classics he knew, in this regard, Hongxiang couldn't say anything, first, Xiao Cong did this for his good, and secondly, Xiao Cong was his master, and his master's order could not be violated, so he had to obediently follow the things in the cheats to slowly masochist, those days were really like years, just in time for Xiao Cong to be fine, staring tightly, poor Hongxiang couldn't even steal a little lazy, but it was also considered that the emperor lived up to his heart, and his quiet time went from half a cup of tea to a stick of incense, and then an hour or even a few hours at the end, compared to the beginning, it is already a great progress, and such an improvement only took more than half a month.

Now this state has only been maintained for half an hour, and if he is willing to pay more attention, he can maintain it until dawn, so even if the stealing cat doesn't come, he can continue this scene and have a perfect curtain call, for him, tonight's performance doesn't have to be too prominent, and it can be considered a good mission to bluff these people around him.

In the silence, Hongxiang's eyebrows suddenly trembled imperceptibly, and a glint flashed in his eyes under the long brim of his hat, and his eyes glanced at the others, seeing that their expressions were still the same, and he didn't think that the strange thing was that the cat who came out to steal the fish finally came, but tonight's things are probably a little difficult to do.

Thanks to the baptism of the old space-time beast when he entered the United States, at this time, Hongxiang sensed that there was a powerful unknown aura coming here with his powerful spiritual sense, and there was more than one, roughly feeling, there were as many as four, and all of them were above the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, he turned his head and looked at the twenty earth realm monks not far from him, although they were also considered to be overwhelming, but the qualitative crushing could not easily turn over the plate, even if it was thirty against four, it would definitely not be enough, the situation was really as Xiao Cong expected, this is really a trick, it is obvious that the other side is prepared, as for whether it is aimed at him It is not clear, he is wondering, should he run away in advance, even if he goes back to the inn to report to Xiao Cong, it is still too late, lest Xiao Cong risk his life for him again.

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't move after all, although he also knew that it was a reckless man to know that there were tigers in the mountains and went west to Tiger Mountain, but he was really unwilling to give up so easily, maybe this can also be called a fluke, but if he escaped from the battle this time, he and his brother Xiao Cong might really not be able to enter the Valley of Forgetfulness for a long time, in that case, his brother Xiao Cong would be very disappointed, he didn't want to do this, so he decided to try it as much as possible, even if it was a fight, although the back road that Xiao Cong paved for him in advance may not be so reliable, but after all, there is still a glimmer of life。

Of course, he knows what the significance of his decision is, since he is in the Valley of Forgotten Life, he has to act according to the style in the Valley of Forgotten Life, and forget about life and death without moving forward, but when it comes to the style of work in the Valley of Forgotten Life, if he continues to stay here, it will definitely not be easy to run, but since he has made up his mind, he must carry things out to the end, so he fell silent again, as if he didn't know anything like everyone else, and let the story develop according to the original plot, and it could last for a moment.

The breath is getting deeper and deeper, and finally someone notices that all the people who feel it have changed their faces, they stretch their heads, and look at the people who look at them with a little nervousness, Hongxiang sees fear in their eyes, but they don't see a person who runs away, there are regulations in the Valley of Forgotten Life, anyone who goes back on his word after accepting the commission, will definitely be hunted down by some upper-class forces for a lot of money, and after being caught, he will be imprisoned in a mysterious area somewhere in the valley, that place is so evil, the legend has always been in and out, as for how to die, there is no way to know, but the tricks that can be used as a punishment by the upper strength of the Valley of Forgotten Life are definitely not just a simple matter of life and death, so I don't know how to do it, according to well-documented historical facts, there are really few people who have crossed the red line.

Hongxiang is still quietly calculating,

"Four Heavenly Realm cultivators, can this be used as a rare training? Not to mention that there are twenty of them to cover, with their strength, they will definitely not be left alive, even if I have to show the strength of the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm,

It is estimated that no one will know that there are not many opportunities like this. ”

Immediately after, he shook his head slightly,

"No, you can't take risks, since this is a trick, maybe it's more accurate to say that it's a test, then there must be other people around watching and watching, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, the ghost knows if they have any manpower on Brother Xiao Cong's side!"

"But what does it take to pass the test?"

His brows couldn't help frowning, and the two pupils looked like ink in the night.

"My brother once said that if you mix in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, you have to learn to think in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, and they set such a test, but they just want to get something, but what do they want to get? Let me think about it, let me think about it......"

"Is it because the events of that day were too showy, they already have doubts about me and my brother, or maybe because of that incident, they have other arrangements for me and my brother's life in the Valley of Forgotten Lives, but whether it is the former or the latter, all they want is a trust, a basic trust, maybe it is really that I thought things too complicated before, they will not take my life so easily, and I just need to pretend to be a person in the Valley of Forgotten Lives. ”

"No, it's better to be a person in the Valley of Forgetfulness. ”

He slowly raised his head, and as far as his eyes could see, there were exactly four figures coming like the wind, and suddenly stopped.

Through the yellow moon halo at the edge of the clouds, you can see that the four figures are all slender and straight, and even vaguely can distinguish that two of them are wearing long shirts, two are wearing strong suits, one is holding a folding fan, and the other three are all holding cold clothes.

Since ancient times, shooting people first and horses first, and capturing thieves and king first, although I don't know if this criterion is also suitable in the Valley of Forgotten Life, but whether it is suitable or not, anyway, it is just to beat the cat who steals the fish, after all, the matter was provoked by him, and if he dies, this matter will be over.

Hongxiang settled down and fell into silence again.

Although the sudden change, but did not mess up the formation of more than 20 people on Hongxiang's side, I don't know if these guys are really good psychological quality or have any other strong support, they all said that they would rather die in battle, not scared to death, although the Valley of Forgotten Life has a bad reputation outside, but the people inside are indeed not a few soft eggs, and those wine bags and rice bags outside must not be able to mix here, and the people who can live here again, if they get rid of those things that are contrary to etiquette and morality, they are definitely iron-clad green forest heroes outside.

Take it as an example, the four figures stood proudly, and the cat in a long shirt and holding a folding fan just laughed, but before this force could pretend, there were already seven people rushing straight up according to the tacit cooperation, without saying a word and without warning, these seven people were originally here to cover, but after all, they were not here to send them to death, so before the seven people rushed to the front of the four figures, three more figures stabbed out of the darkness, the speed was not much faster than the previous seven people, and they rushed to the same distance as the previous seven people, and even arrived before them。

The cat in the long shirt shook the folding fan gently, the night was too dark, I couldn't see his face clearly, let alone the expression on his face, but just looking at this posture, I could imagine what kind of frivolity and arrogance that inexplicable face was, he stood there, just gently shaking the folding fan, his body did not move, but the three people holding the cold sword beside him, one-on-one against their opponents, the momentum of the upper hand.

Hongxiang hid in the dark, watching quietly, in his opinion, the cooperation between the ten people can be regarded as a tacit understanding, although the speed of the three people in front of them is fast, but after all, they are the last walkers, the time gap can just make up for the difference in speed, as long as the three of them can go through a move under the opponent's hand, the seven people behind are enough to help, and then ten to three, fighting together, not expecting to defeat the opponent, but it is definitely okay to create chaos to increase the chance of sneak attack for the people hidden in the shadows.

But Hongxiang still underestimated the scheming of the ten pioneers, and the one who rushed to the front was about to fight with the opposite one, and four of the seven people behind suddenly accelerated, almost at the same time as the three in front of him, so that the opposite side was caught off guard.

Although there was a slight change, after all, the three Heavenly Realm masters on the opposite side were not vegetarians, and it was estimated that they didn't come up with all their strength at first, and they wanted to play cat and mouse with their opponents, but they were so noisy that they could only resist with all their might in a hurry, and they couldn't play it at a glance.

Ten Earth Realm Monks and three Heaven Realm Monks scuffled together, and after a few rounds, the wind gradually fell, and the long-shirted cat with a folding fan in his hand still did not move an inch, and the laughter rose and fell, interspersed with comments and cheers, like interested spectators on the stage.

"I only heard that Hu Laozhuan found someone to kill me tonight, but I didn't expect to find you goods, tsk, it's not enough to see at all, friends hidden in the shadows, don't you really plan to come out? If you don't come out, I won't play with you." ”

As soon as the words fell, two more figures rushed out of the darkness, the speed was comparable, one killed the man in the long shirt holding the cold man, and the other killed a person in a strong suit with the cold hand, the two Heavenly Realm powerhouses who were raided hurriedly shook off several opponents who were entangled with him, and pulled out their hands to deal with the sudden attack, but unexpectedly, as soon as they first fought, the two figures were instantly divided into four, and the separated figures struck with lightning speed, and vaguely did not see any movements of the two Heavenly Realm powerhouses, thinking that they finally suffered a loss in this round, as for the size, I don't know yet。

The caftan cat saw the folding fan and closed it, stroked the palm and praised,

"Okay, okay, this is interesting, not to let this son run this trip, to be able to invite such a skillful hand, Hu Laozhuan must have made a lot of good things, this son will let him beat the chicken and eggs tonight, the people and money are empty, and he will accompany his wife and fold the soldiers!

No one responded in the scuffle, only the sound of cold soldiers clinking together.

Silently, a figure floated out of the darkness, like a ghost through the melee, around the back of the caftan cat, was about to stab the short dagger in his hand into the back of the caftan cat, but the latter had already been aware of this, the folding fan in his hand was swirling from the right hand to the left hand and then to the back, the fan was like a front, spun away the dagger in the hand of the person behind him, and finally spun back to the right hand, but when he looked back at the leg and kicked, he kicked it empty, because the ghostly person had already driven the ghostly strange body to float away。

The cat in the long shirt stopped and said in surprise:

"Hey, there are two hits. ”

Then he shouted to the other three:

"Brothers, you don't have to keep it anymore, just let go and do it, kill all the fun tonight, and don't leave a single one alive!"

Hongxiang sneered in his heart,

"This guy, that's all there is to Dao, if it weren't for the big difference in strength, I would have to keep him tonight, but there are three Heavenly Realm masters beside him to protect him, and I want to keep him

, it's really not a simple matter, if he wants to run, I guess he can't stop it!"

The four Heavenly Realm powerhouses all began to show their highest strength, except for the Changsan Cat, the three Heavenly Realm masters joined forces against the twelve Earth Realm monks of different strengths, almost crushing, and the ghost was chased and beaten by the Changsam Cat, although the Changsam Cat was a strong man in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, but the ghost was also a great consummation in the late stage of the Realm after all, coupled with the strange body style, it suddenly gave the Changsan Cat a headache, so there was no intersection for a while, although the victory and defeat have been divided, but when it will settle is still uncertain.

Time passed slowly, in less than half a moment, the twelve Earth Realm monks had become very difficult, Hongxiang hid in the dark and watched silently, and could see that the four Heavenly Realm powerhouses on the opposite side had already played a real fire, especially the long-shirted cat, who seemed to be careless, but his strength was higher than the other three dog slaves, of course, they were all cultivation in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, and they were not high. And the ghost is obviously a veteran, and he teased the long-shirted cat in every way, especially the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is miraculous and unpleasant, although this guy's cultivation is not high, but the insight into the situation is a must, he can always grasp the loopholes in the moves of the other three heavenly realm masters, guess the changes in their positions, take advantage of the loopholes, and lead the long-shirted cats to interfere with and even slander them, during this period, the three dog slaves were beaten by the long-shirted cats nine times at most, and the least was five times, thinking that he should be very aggrieved in his heart。

The long-shirted cat was teased by the ghost like this, and he was already angry, and the four of them quickly distanced themselves, and began to become cautious between moves, so that the ghosts had a lot fewer opportunities to perform tricks, so the disadvantages caused by the gap in strength were shown nakedly.

I don't know when the speed of the caftan cat has increased a lot, but in Hongxiang's eyes, I didn't see this guy at what moment the speed soared, it seems that this guy is still a ghost, and he quietly raised the speed, not letting the ghost find out the secret technique of his deep hiding method, Hongxiang found out that this guy has such a good heart, even if it is close at hand, he refuses to win with speed, but relies on martial arts to give a blow, Rao is so, or let the ghost suffer a few small losses, seeing this, Hongxiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart。

Sure enough, within a dozen breaths, the ghost was stopped by the long-shirted cat with an unexpected "fan dart" and ended his life.

This scene is estimated to surprise the other people hidden in the darkness, although the ghost has the upper hand, but suddenly play quite easily, as long as the long-shirt cat walks a few times like this, the people hidden in the dark will be able to catch the four heavenly realm masters on the opposite side by surprise, maybe they can also ask for the life of the long-shirt cat, who knows that when they are secretly calculating others, they are also secretly calculating them, and in the end they still end up in such a situation.

Because of the death of the ghost, the atmosphere in the battlefield has changed for a short time, and the veterans hidden in the darkness know this very well, how can they easily let go of such a fleeting opportunity, so they immediately rushed out of the darkness again, and the two rushed to two of them except the cat, and the knife fell in hand, while cutting off one of the opponent's arms, and on the other hand, one of the other party's heads was cut off, and the sudden change made the long-shirt cat too late to be happy, and fell into hysteria again.

"There are still people!"

Hongxiang hid in the dark and still didn't come out, just nodded slightly, looking very satisfied with this, the assassination of the four Earth Realm cultivators is undoubtedly a wise move, the wisest thing is not to be killed by his own master and get carried away to assassinate the long-shirted cat, with that guy's cultivation in the early stage of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, even if the four of them go up together, it is estimated that they can't do anything, let alone achieve such a gain, in terms of gains and losses, hurting the other three Heavenly Realm powerhouses and hurting the long-shirted cat are actually the same reason, in the final analysis, anyway, it weakens their overall strength, so that the odds of winning will increase a little, but if you attack the cats in long shirts, it won't be so effective.

The loss of a Heaven Realm master on the opposite side has greatly reduced his strength, and four more Earth Realm masters have been added here, but under the great increase in strength, it has only formed a level with the other side, but the ghost knows if the scheming long-shirted cat has any back.

But Hongxiang faintly felt that he should be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, this guy should have other means that he hadn't used, but now this guy should have believed that this is all the people hired by Hu Laoshui. So, all he had to do now was to wait, wait patiently, wait for the two who had been dormant with him to go out and inflict heavy damage on them again, and then he would go out again and take the life of the cat.

The long-shirted cat really hasn't exerted his full strength yet, and even another dog servant who has not been injured at all has just hit the real fire, it turns out that this guy is also a cultivator of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm!

Tianping leaned towards the three Heavenly Realm masters on the opposite side again, and the two monks of the late stage of the Great Perfection of the Realm hidden in the dark finally made a timely move, and the battle entered the white heat, even the cats in the long shirt were hit hard, and more than half of the dead and wounded on Hongxiang's side, only seven people were still holding on.

So, Hongxiang knew that it was time for him to make a move.

He rushed out like a streamer, pointing straight at the long-shirted cat, the short sword in his hand without any fancy but at a sharp angle, and it seemed that it was about to sink into the long-shirted cat's chest.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, in a hurry, the long-shirted cat actually raised his left arm to block it, and in this way, in the case of carrying the opponent's two knife wounds, Hongxiang's short sword was embedded in the arm bone of the long-shirted cat.

In this regard, Hongxiang was also taken aback, he didn't expect this long-shirted cat to be so decisive, in the early stage of his heavenly realm, he could resolve this life and death crisis, this guy must have been tempered or practiced some secret method, otherwise the bones could not be so hard, otherwise it would not be under the strength of his early heavenly realm, even the short sword from Zhong Liqiu's hand that Xiao Cong gave him could not pierce through, at this time Hongxiang really wanted to grit his teeth, and directly stabbed it with the power of the middle of the heavenly realm, but this long-shirted cat is really rich in combat experience, and he didn't give Hongxiang a chance to make up the knife at all, just in Hongxiang's trance, he used a folding fan instead of a knife, and cut off the forearm from the elbow, and retreated sharply.

Even if there was no chance to mend the knife, how could Hongxiang let him go so easily, and then urged the secret method to deceive him, and the others cooperated tacitly to leave the long-shirt cat alone with him, and turned to contain the other two.

"My Fair Immortal Nineteen Swords" came out with the trend, like flowing clouds and water, it was natural, the cat in the long shirt parried again and again, in the case of losing a right arm, it was not even left behind, Hongxiang looked at it although he was surprised, but he still pressed his strength steadily in the early stage of the heavenly realm, and now he was also afraid that there would be a living mouth in it, revealing his hidden strength, he even suspected that all this was arranged by someone, in the deeper darkness, someone was quietly watching them.

In a room on the second floor of an inn on North Street, Xiao Cong was still standing in front of the window with his hands down, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his head was slightly raised.
