Xiangyang Mansion City, Yao's family.

This night, Yao Chongyi was reading a book in the study, although he was the vice president of Xiangyang College, he usually liked to stay in Yao's house, and whatever happened in the academy was handled by Chi Yuchen, and he would only discuss it with him when he encountered a major event.

"Who's coming out!"

Yao Chongyi, who was reading a book, suddenly moved his soul, noticed that someone had infiltrated nearby, and hurriedly used his soul power to investigate, after the power of perception evolved to the power of the soul, there would be many wonderful uses, not only can the soul suppress, but also perceive the surroundings in more detail, and it will not consume the spirit as much as perception.

After saying a while, I saw ripples in the void somewhere in the study, and a picture of black fog slowly appeared, there was obviously a black shadow in the black fog, and the whole body was wrapped in black fog, and it was impossible to tell who it was, and a piercing voice came: "Amazing, worthy of being the vice president of Xiangyang Academy, Honjuku was discovered as soon as he came in." ”

Yao Chongyi frowned and said, "Why did you come here, what I arranged for you to do was done?"

I saw the black shadow smile gloomily: "No, it's just that the information you provided is wrong, and the person we went to assassinate is dead!" The voice was cold and ruthless, as if the death of a subordinate was not worth mentioning to him at all.

Hearing this, Yao Chongyi raised his eyebrows, and scolded the black shadow: "Dead, aren't you the Twin Shadow Alliance unparalleled in the world, how can you die, if you die, you will die, just send someone again, what are you looking for me for." ”

The black shadow was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "I can't do things in the Double Shadow Alliance, it's not your turn to judge Dean Yao, I just came to tell you this time, the information is wrong, and I want to add money." ”

As soon as Yao Chongyi heard that he wanted to add money, he instantly exploded, in order to kill that little brute, the Yao family paid a big price this time before he invited the Double Shadow Alliance to take action, and he privately contacted an organization like the Double Shadow Alliance to attack and kill his own academy students, which is already a big taboo, if he is traced, not to mention himself, even the entire Yao family will have to be implicated.

Now that the matter has not been done, it is unbearable to add money, Yao Chongyi stood up suddenly, looked at the black shadow with angry eyes and said: "The matter has not been done, you still have to add money, and your Double Shadow Alliance is still not trustworthy." ”

"Hehehe, Dean Yao, don't be angry, our Double Shadow Alliance is the most trustworthy, but this time it is true that the information you provided is wrong, otherwise we would not have lost a group of assassins, no, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, you can only believe us, so Honjuku personally came to inform you and show the greatest sincerity." ”

Hearing this, Yao Chongyi sighed, at this time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, and he could only add more chips, but he had doubts, the Double Shadow Alliance has always done things without leakage, why did it fail this time, the information is wrong, there is a mistake, Yao Chongyi asked.

The black shadow hesitated for a moment, and said: "My Double Shadow Alliance Double Shadow Killing Technique is unparalleled in the world, under the same level or more than one or two levels, there is no possibility of missing, even if it fails, it can be safely retreated, but this time none of them came back, it can be seen that the information you provided us is wrong, but what it is still needs to be investigated in detail." ”

"Could it be because of Helian Qingtian, this person is extremely talented and powerful, even among the official students, he is in the forefront, could it be this person's doing. Yao Chongyi said.

"It shouldn't be possible, this person and another woman named Yu Feitong, we have also investigated the details, and their strength is indeed extraordinary, but my Double Shadow Alliance assassins focus on concealment and assassination, they must only target Ji Xiaowu, even if the assassination fails, they can retreat safely. ”

Hearing the black shadow's explanation, Yao Chongyi also couldn't figure it out, and muttered to himself: "Is it related to Xiao Qi's death that day?"

On that day, it was clear that Yao Hanqi had the upper hand, but in the end he died namelessly, this has always been the question in Yao Chongyi's heart, thinking of this, Yao Chongyi calmed down and sat down and said: "I approved your request, but what if you fail this time?"

"Don't worry, Dean Yao, as long as the price is right, my Double Shadow Alliance can kill everything and will not fail again. ”

Yao Chongyi nodded, his eyes revealed madness, Ji Xiaowu, you killed my Yao family's heir, I want you to pay the price, and after talking in detail, the black shadow slowly disappeared, and the study returned to its original silence, as if nothing had happened.

......

The mottled mansion wall reveals a vicissitudes of life, Ji Xiaowu and Helian Qingtian have already taken advantage of the night to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Feitong responded outside the City Lord's Mansion, this City Lord's Mansion has obviously been established for hundreds of years, it seems that it has not been repaired for hundreds of years, revealing traces of obsolescence everywhere, and the area and furnishings are not as atmospheric and meticulous as Xiangyang Mansion.

There are not many guards in the house, occasionally a few patrols pass by, there is Xiangyang Mansion in the northeast of Lingyang Mansion to resist the demon clan, and Yongzhou in the west to resist the Wu clan, plus the living environment is harsh, and it does not produce any resources, such as ore and what cultivation things, there has never been any external force intrusion, and there is no pain from the attack of demon beasts, so all aspects of the inspection here are not valued by the imperial court, otherwise over the years, it is not just the Qiu family, the soul condensing realm.

Ji Xiaowu and Helian Qingtian calmed down, walked on the beams, came to a study-like building, sensed that there were people in the room, the two leaned down to listen, only to hear the sound of tea bowls breaking in the room, and then a familiar voice came, it was the voice of Qiu Biao during the day.

"Second uncle, you must help your nephew this time, you look at the nephew who beat him, his front teeth are all lost, I want the two of them to pay the same price, the little woman will be my maid, I will ravage her well. ”

Qiu Biao is still holding a grudge against the things of the day, hearing this, Ji Xiaowu also sneered in his heart, I think you will retreat from the difficulty, but I didn't expect it to get worse, don't plant it in my hands next time.

Helian Qingtian looked at Ji Xiaowu, his face was also pale, he didn't speak, and continued to hear the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Xiaobiao, when is this, you still go out to make trouble for me, your father has been inexplicably poisoned this time, and he has been in retreat for several months and has not improved, you are good, not to share worries for the clan, to share worries for your father, but to get worse, taking advantage of your father's retreat, he actually went out to make trouble again, it seems that he has really doted on you since childhood. ”

Ji Xiaowu and the others on the beam of the house heard that the Lingyang City Lord was inexplicably poisoned and had been in retreat for more than a few months, so they figured out why, such a major event happened in Lingyang Mansion City, and the City Lord did not show up, but why was the Lingyang City Lord poisoned, could it be ???

I just listened to the bottom and continued: "The Worship God Sect is making such a fierce fuss now, without your father's order, uncle will not help at all, you had better keep to yourself recently, if there is anything, you have to wait for your father to come out, come on!" Several guards outside the door should have entered the door

"Take the young master to the confinement room, be in the confinement room tonight, think about yourself, you give me a good look at the young master during this time, without my order, he is not allowed to go out of the city lord's mansion for half a step. Violators will be dealt with by family law. ”

"It's the second master. ”

When Qiu Biao walked away, the middle-aged man sighed and said, "Hey, it's an eventful time, and it's going to be noisy at this time." ”

After speaking, I saw the middle-aged man walking out of the study and walking to the backyard, Ji Xiaowu and Helian Qingtian glanced at each other, and quietly followed, the middle-aged man's strength was obviously not very high, plus Ji Xiaowu and Helian Qingtian were not bad, and they were proficient in the concealment method of Xiangyang Academy, and they followed it down, and they didn't notice that there was someone behind them at all.

Walked through the backyard, came to a small forest, through the woods, a bunch of rockeries appeared in front, the middle-aged man rotated in a certain part of the rockery, and a false stone door appeared in response, the middle-aged man looked left and right, entered the stone gate, and after entering, the stone gate was closed immediately, and there was no difference in private.

Ji Xiaowu and the others waited outside for nearly half an hour before they saw the middle-aged man coming out of the stone gate.

"Xiao Wu, what should we do, it seems that this is the place where the Lingyang City Lord retreats. Helian Qingtian transmitted the sound into the ear canal.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and if you have already arrived here, you will not have to go back, go in. ”

Ji Xiaowu analyzed the current situation, just now overheard the man say that the city lord has been poisoned and retreated for several months, it seems that the situation is not optimistic, if so, then the judgment of the collusion between the Lingyang City Lord and the God Worship Sect is wrong, and it just shows why the God Worship Sect is already so powerful in Lingyang City at this time, and the Lingyang City Lord has no measures.

Helian Qingtian is also a daring artist, and when he was not afraid at all, the two of them observed the surroundings, came to the rockery, groped in the shadows to find the switch, and the stone door opened in response.

Looking at the swarthy door, Helian Qingtian was the first to enter, Ji Xiaowu followed, a corridor that could only accommodate one person came into view, candles were lit on both sides of the corridor, and the two walked forward cautiously, this corridor was obviously inclined downward, and it took about a stick of incense to walk around, and finally came to the end of the corridor, and a stone gate appeared.

Standing outside the stone gate, Helian Qingtian carefully sensed the movement in the door, after a moment, he carefully pushed open the stone door, from the outside, inside the stone door is a secret room, just about to enter, Ji Xiaowu hurriedly stopped him, Helian Qingtian showed a puzzled expression, Ji Xiaowu took out the black array pen from his arms, the moment he opened the door just now, he clearly perceived the traces of the magic circle, there is a magic circle blocking this door, as long as you raise your foot to enter, the magic circle will be triggered.

Ji Xiaowu closed his eyes, concentrated on exerting the power of perception, like a pair of ethereal tentacles, stretched out to the front, carefully studying and observing the magic circle in front of him.

After a while, Ji Xiaowu opened his eyes with a smile on his face, he had already seen what kind of magic circle this was, and he had also studied how to crack it.

After seeing Ji Xiaowu's expression on the side, Helian Qingtian was also relieved in his heart, only to see Ji Xiaowu waving the pen in his hand, outlining it like splashing ink in the void, and looking at Gu Haoran's qi along the array pen, merging into the void, leaning for a while, the void in front of him suddenly lit up, and a film-like aperture came into view, and Helian Qingtian saw the structure of this magic circle clearly.

Ji Xiaowu said: "This is a simple soul touch array, there is no attack left or right, just to remind the master that someone has come in, Lingyang is a place where the soul condensation realm is scarce, let alone the magic array master, I think this magic circle is also specially set up by the Lingyang City Lord." ”

"How is it, can it be broken?" Helian Qingtian asked as he looked at Ji Xiaowu.

Ji Xiaowu didn't say much, only to see that he just simply waved a few times, and a gap slowly appeared in that layer of film-like aperture, Ji Xiaowu hurriedly pulled Helian Qingtian to enter from the gap, and in a blink of an eye, the gap disappeared, and returned to its original appearance, Helian Qingtian turned his head to look at the touch circle behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, the magic of the circle is really magical, and when he was watching, he saw that the film aperture slowly disappeared without a trace.

After the two entered the secret room, they looked carefully, and saw that there was a stone door in the secret room, the two entered, and passed through a winding road, walked for about a quarter of an hour, a temple door came into view, it seems that this is the end, the two of them played up twelve points of spirit, restrained their breath, and entered the main hall, this hall has a hole, it looks very small from the outside, and suddenly opens up after entering.

In the hall with a radius of more than ten zhang and a width of more than ten zhang, there are some gold and silver books or wardrobe like chests, which are displayed in them, it seems that this is the Qiu family's similar treasure cave, important items are placed here, there is a high platform in the main hall, at this time this person is sitting on the high platform, this person is middle-aged, wearing a gray robe, the whole body exudes majesty, a long-term momentum of the top, sitting there are a sense of oppression, it is the only soul condensing realm in Lingyang Mansion, Lingyang City Lord Qiu Baihu

When Ji Xiaowu and the others entered, Qiu Baihu's closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were full of cold light, and his whole body exuded a strong chill, which was murderous.
