Chapter Twenty-Six: Counting is Counting

"Do you have friends at the casino?" Xue Tong seemed interested and asked.

"Yes, Jiang Ming has been in the casino for many years, what's the matter, the incense master wants to go and play?" Dong Sanbiao's interest also rose and asked.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've been out for an event, let's take a look."

"Okay!"

……

Jinyuan Casino is located in the most lively block, very close to the stronghold of Yunxiao Sect in Pingshan, "Yunxiao Compound", only 30 zhang away from the door, the first floor of the casino is mainly gambling money, gamblers are mostly ordinary people in Pingshan, and the second floor is the place where the spirit stone is gambled.

"Wei Wuxian" is such an identity of the incense master, naturally in the VIP room betting, Jiang Ming saddle before and after the horse, properly arranged, Xue Tong played dice, pai gow and fan tan, lost more than 400 spirit stones after sighing to himself, renamed next time.

In fact, he has a sensitive hearing, and he is accurate at hearing and distinguishing numbers, and it is not a problem to win money, but he deliberately loses in order to be close to Jiang Ming.

He invited the two of them to drink, and the more they chatted, the more interested they became.

"I heard that you saw the big beauty of the Cloud Sky Sect yesterday?" Xue Tong asked deliberately.

"Hehe, I was strolling around at the door of the casino, and the carriage of the Yunxiao Sect was raised with the curtain when it drove by, and the woman in it was beautiful and starry, I had never seen such a beauty." Jiang Ming sighed.

"There are a lot of charming women in the casino, and Steward Jiang is well-informed, so he will be amazing?"

"Incomparable, incomparable!" Jiang Ming sighed and raised his glass and drank it all.

"The casino is so close to the Cloud Compound, do any of the disciples over there come to gamble?" Xue Tong cut to the chase and asked.

"There are a few people who often came here in the past two years and lost a mess, and then I heard that the rules of the Yunxiao Sect are becoming stricter, and now they only dare to come to gamble a few times from time to time, and they have a good time."

"Dong Sanbiao, last time you asked you to inquire about the high-level talisman, Fengda Instrument Shop Shi Hongda's eight-layer sword talisman, you also listened to what Steward Jiang said." Xue Tong asked again.

"Ahh What's up... Oh... Thinking about it, yes, Brother Jiang has a lot of contact with people and is well-informed. Dong Sanbiao's tongue was knotted and he said vaguely.

"Shi Hongda also often comes to gamble?"

"Hmm"

……

Xue Tong sent a letter to Wei Geng seven days ago, stating that the past was basically determined to be the work of the Blood Sword Sect or the Seven Evil Alliance, and suggested that he bluff and lure the snake out of the hole.... Wei Geng replied, saying that he had sent his personal disciple Ma Shaochong and Xue Tong's acquaintance Zhu Qingling to arrive in advance, so that he could continue to lurk in the news.

Night.

Xue Tong whistled lightly, the falcon flew out of the backyard bushes, and Xue Tong wrote a bold hypothesis: Yunxiao Sect seems to have a traitor, you can consider...

For half a month, Ma Shaochong and Zhu Qingling visited the places where the missing disciples had been in Pingshan, but found nothing. Zhu Qingling gradually lost his patience, and after repeated persuasion by Ma Shaochong and the head of the Yunxiao Compound, Wu Chengfa in the middle of the day after tomorrow, decided to visit for a few more days.

Zhu Qingling talked to everyone one by one and collected clues.

"Zhu law enforcement, Pingshan can't find a clue, why don't seven or eight nearby villages go to inquire? Before his disappearance, Senior Brother Zhang sighed with me, saying that although there are many warriors in Pingshan, if anyone really robs the goods, they must flee, otherwise how can the stolen goods be sold? On the way to escape, you may leave clues behind. Yang Jin, a disciple of the outer sect of the deacon hall, said.

"That makes sense!"

Zhu Qingling spread out the map, "The biggest possibility is to flee to the northwest, so that you can escape from the sphere of influence of this sect as quickly as possible." Well... Tomorrow... Let's go to the farthest and farthest village. ”

"Zhu law enforcement is resourceful and decisive, admire!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, two carriages drove out of the compound, the driver shook the reins, and the ink horse opened its four hooves, raising smoke and dust all the way, and went straight to Yi Village, 90 miles away.

The carriage turned into the remote mountain road and traveled through the narrow valley, when the red sun rose in the east, dispelling the mist, and the front became clearer and brighter.

Suddenly, the ink horse suddenly tightened his pace, hissed a long time, and stopped with his head held high.

In the middle of the mountain road, a man dressed in a blood-colored thicket, holding a broadsword, exuded a cold and murderous aura.

Ma Shaochong got out of the car and looked back, and a martial artist quietly appeared behind Zhu Qingling's car, sandwiching the two cars in the middle.

"The elite disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, it's a pity." The sword-wielding man said grimly.

"People from the Blood Sword Sect! What are your intentions in blocking the road?"

Ma Shaochong is thirty years old, a martial artist, but he is not panicked in the face of the man in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and said calmly.

"What do you think we want to do? Send you to Hades!"

The man stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on the sword, a clear humming sound sounded, and he frowned: "There are still people in the car, you can get out."

The curtain was lifted, and a person walked out of the car, wearing an indigo robe, with a clear face and bright eyes.

A powerful coercion spreads, the day after tomorrow!

Wei Geng!

Bao Shu changed in shock, pointed at Wei Geng and said, "You have hidden your breath..."

"If the old man shows up in Pingshan, will you still come?" Wei Geng patted the spirit pet bag, lighting up with a touch of bronze brilliance.

"Boom!" A corpse puppet that was too tall smashed to the ground, holding a black and cold iron spear, exuding the aura of the middle of the day after tomorrow.

"Bronze Corpse Golem!" Bao Shu screamed in surprise.

"If you're here, stay here!" Wei Gengyu pointed a little back, and the bronze corpse puppet jumped into the air and pounced on Ying Zongze, who was also in the middle of the day after tomorrow.

……

Wei Geng received Xue Tong's second letter from the Falcon Circular, concealed his breath, sneaked into Pingshan in disguise, and concealed his cultivation to suppress Fahai, and Fahai was damaged for a long time, usually limited to one or two hours. Wei Geng stayed in the inn, closed the door, and contacted Zhu Qingling.

Zhu Qingling and Ma Shaochong deliberately investigated to no avail, and wanted to return to Yunxiao Sect, luring Yang Jin to relax his vigilance and suggest visiting external villages.

……

Xue Tong received Wei Geng's transmission, and waited overnight near the Fengda Instrument Shop, he had been to the store a few times, and the things he sold were ordinary, not like a serious businessman. Shi Hongda's eighth-layer talisman and casino experience gave him reason to believe that this person was suspicious and was likely to buy off the lost Yunxiao Sect disciples.

Sure enough, not long after Wei Geng's carriage left, Shi Hongda also went out, unhurriedly in the direction of Yicun, there were few pedestrians on the road, Shi Hongda could detect Xue Tong following, he turned into the unmanned path, and simply stopped.

Xue Tong did not hide or hide, he was wearing a cyan short robe at this time, and he had recovered his original appearance. The Dragon and Tiger Gang treats him well, if he acts as Wei Wuxian today, it is very likely to bring disaster to the Dragon and Tiger Gang, Xue Tong is not the kind of person who just gives up and ignores morality.

"What are you doing with me?" Shi Hongda, who was in the late stage of the martial arts, raised his eyebrows and glared.

"Where is the refiner, Yicun?" Xue Tong said with a grin.

A trace of surprise flashed on Shi Hongda's face, "Where do you go, what do you do, who are you?"

"Xue Tong of the Yunxiao Sect, investigate the disappearance of the law enforcement disciple." Xue Tong said with a big stab.

Shi Hongda's face sank, "People from the Yunxiao Sect, you dare to follow me?!"

Shi Hongda's performance greatly increased Xue Communication's heart, and the original doubts disappeared.

"I want to see if there is a transmission note for the Yunxiao Sect in the refiner's storage bag, if not, I am willing to pay five thousand spirit stones."

The unwritten rule of the Xuanmen is that unless the storage bag is inspected in the name of the sect, failure to pay compensation is considered robbery.

"Look for death!" Shi Hongda's sleeve flicked, and a talisman flew out, turning into a golden giant sword, and slashed down in the air.

The golden sword talisman on the eighth layer, Shi Hongda was unwilling to delay, he took out the long sword in the storage bag, and the sword fell in his hand, and the blood was light.

Xue Tong smashed three seven-layer earth shield talismans, and the three shields were stacked to meet the golden sword, and the heavy iron in his hand was suddenly stirred.

"Broken Dragon Twist", the third killing move of the Nine Kills, the rolled cyan hair dryer tore apart the blood light, and went straight to Shi Hongda.

Shi Hongda's arm shook violently, and his heart was even more turbulent, the bloodthirsty sword was a first-grade magic weapon, and it almost flew away in front of the inconspicuous ordinary Shen Tie Gong.

He turned sideways to let go of the wind roll, Xue Tong swept across the iron hammer, "cutting the mountain and breaking the mountain", and the blade drew a cyan arc.

Xue Tong's continued move was so fast, the lightning killed, Shi Hongda kicked sharply with both feet, jumped high, Han Feng hugged and swept against the soles of his feet, Xue Tong shouted, Tie Gong provoked fiercely, and the fifth move of the Nine Kills was "Picking the Moon".

Shi Hongda's pupils shrank, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, Xue Tong's killing move was completed in one go, and the mana exploded like a cannon, without any delay.

At this time, a ball of blue light under him could not be avoided, Shi Hongda's bloodthirsty sword stabbed, aimed at the tip of the hammer, and with the help of his strength, he turned out a heel fight, which could be dodged.

It's just that the blood sword in his hand can no longer hold it, and Qiang Changchang was picked up more than ten feet away.

Shi Hongda's first move fell into the back hand, and under the horror, he threw his hands in mid-air, and several explosive bombs shot out.

Xue Tong had already prepared a back move, the figure flickered to avoid the bomb, and as soon as Shi Hongdafu landed, the thunder behind him shone brightly, and a thick arc of electricity broke the light shield of his protective body, directly penetrating his chest!

A light white ball of light light the size of a goose egg floated out of Shi Hongda's heavenly spirit, and the gray spots in Xue Tongzhi's sea suddenly burrowed out of his braincase, turned into a mouth-shaped phantom, and instantly inhaled the ball of light, and the light flashed and returned to the sea of knowledge.

"Devouring the Warrior Genshin? This is a demonic technique!"

Xue Tong trembled with fright, and shivered continuously.

The gray dots are like the old days after devouring the spirit of the demon bee, revealing a trickle, moisturizing the sea of knowledge as warm and comfortable as a spring day.

"Humans and beasts take all, it's terrifying!"

Xue Tong took off Shi Hongda's storage bag and the jade plate of the sect, retrieved the bloodthirsty sword, and burned the corpse with a fire.

……

In the Yunxiao Compound, the gate of the courtyard was closed, and the disciples gathered together.

Wei Geng, Wu Chengfa, Ma Shaochong, Zhu Qingling, and Xue Tong were expressionless, and Yang Jin on the side was dripping in cold sweat and trembling slightly.

Wei Geng saw that everyone had gathered, and said loudly: "Yang Jin was escorted by me, you were summoned by Uncle Wu, Zhu Qingling, Ma Shaochong, and Xue Tong came later, I am worried that someone will escape, so I will come back and arrest people first."

The disciples in the hall looked at each other, looking nervous, not understanding what was happening.

"Yang Jin, you colluded with the Blood Sword Sect and committed the heinous crime of robbing goods and killing people, can you admit it?" Wei Geng said coldly.

"Wei... Uncle Shi, this... Where to start, I completely listen... I don't understand. Yang Jin stammered.

"When the law enforcement hall handles a case, it's about evidence!"

Wei Geng crushed the rune paper in his hand, the jade plate on Yang Jin's waist suddenly shook, and Shi Hongda's transmission note came.

"This is the jade plate of the Blood Sword Sect Shi Hongda, and there is still a message on it that you have reported the news and set up a trap in Yi Village!" Wei Geng raised the jade plate in his hand and continued: "There should be a secret transmission note of Shi Hongda in your storage bag, even if you hide it elsewhere, the two pieces of evidence just now are enough to convict!"

Yang Jin's face was like ashes, he gritted his teeth violently, and Huo Ran fell.
