In the vast starry sky, a quiet and dark space, blood-red flames wrapped around this space, flowing slowly on it, like criss-crossing poisonous snakes, devouring the righteous qi between heaven and earth, and the stars shuttled between them from time to time, leaving only a piece of ashes.

In the very center of the space, a lotus pond is located, the green lotus leaves are all over the pond, a few pink lotus flowers are dotted on the lotus leaves, the shady habitat under the lotus leaves is occupied by a few swimming fish, swimming in it carefree, dragonflies gently stir their wings, point over the white petals of the lotus, and snatch away a piece of fragrance.

The lotus pond is surrounded by green bamboo, adding a touch of vitality to this space, an old man with fairy wind sits on duckweed, dressed in snow-white satin, holding a bamboo pole condensed by spiritual power, the head of the pole passes through a thin line, hanging in the clear water, the old man's eyes are slightly closed, and the other hand is gently paddling on the green lines of the lotus leaves, as if waiting for something.

Time passed minute by minute, and the swimming fish circled around the thin thread for a long time, spitting a few bubbles, like laughing at the old man's ignorance and old age, but also like happiness in boredom.

Suddenly, the bamboo forest swayed, absorbing the aura between heaven and earth, forming a sharp arrow to fly into the sky, only to see a figure dodging left and right, pointing on the tip of the bamboo. The withered color instantly filled a field of bamboo, and the lush scenery was interspersed with withered yellow.

The old man's eyes opened slightly, and a middle-aged man dressed in black was reflected in his ancient bell-like eyes standing on the tip of the bamboo, his long silver-white hair draped lazily behind him, his narrow phoenix eyes were cold, and the bridge of his nose was on stilts, with a little dark stubble underneath.

The old man looked at the withered bamboo again, a distressed feeling appeared on his face, shook his head and sighed for a while, and said: "Emperor Vatican, recently your cultivation of 'withered and dead qi' has entered another layer, but you don't need to make such a big noise, you fly down directly, although the old man is old and dizzy, but he can also sense that you are coming, these bamboos have been cultivated for a long time, and they have been nourished by the aura of heaven and earth for a long time. ”

"Hehe, does the Thunder Emperor still care about that little piece of heaven-level treasure? Besides, these bamboos can only be used to heal injuries and arrange formations, and there is no other use, you are becoming more and more greedy now. A gloomy voice came from the middle-aged man's mouth, and then the man slowly flew to the ground.

"Hey, the Tianjie baby can also reward his subordinates, and besides, these bamboos are far more useful than what you see on the surface, their usefulness is great, forget it, this bamboo forest" The old man wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes looked at the withered bamboos again, put down the bamboo pole, raised a hand, and a blue spiritual power instantly covered the palm, shuttling out like a sharp thorn, wrapping the withered bamboo, and then a trace of vitality rose from the root, and the bamboo was even more green as jade.

Lin Fan's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in the depths of his eyes, faintly undetectable.

Bai Yiting slowly lowered his hand, and with a light stroke of the complex spell, a dazzling thunderbolt jumped out from his fingertips, dancing on his fingertips like a fairy.

Bai Yiting pointed his finger to the sky, and the thunder and lightning immediately rushed out, galloping in the air, getting farther and farther away, and gradually disappearing.

The breeze was blowing, and a cloud of mist drifted in from afar, and in the mist, a man's face loomed, and a faint voice came from the mist: "Wang, what can I do for you?"

"I summoned you here to ask about the fact that this matter has been done for so long, but are there any valuable clues or news?" Bai Yiting pondered for a moment and said.

"Wang, the ancient family has already checked more than half of it, and still hasn't found the person the king needs, the closest to the king's request is Lin Yang of the Lin family" Before the man finished speaking, Bai Yiting interrupted his words, "Enough, it's been twenty years, you haven't found out any valuable information, have you already failed the mission?"

A look of horror welled up in the man's eyes, and he hurriedly explained: "No, Wang, even if the ancient family has been baptized by the original war, the majesty still exists now, and the interior still cannot be penetrated, and some core secrets are difficult to explore, and over the years, batch after batch of geniuses have been born and risen, there are too many things to investigate, I hope the king can give his subordinates some more time, and the subordinates will definitely get the information that the king needs." ”

Bai Yiting's old face showed a kind smile in the man's eyes, but the man's frightened color became more and more intense.

Bai Yiting's gentle voice came into the man's ears, but it was cold and piercing: "This king doesn't want to listen to your explanation, remember the punishment for failing the mission, this time this king spared your life, but"

Bai Yiting's finger pointed at the man, the thunder and lightning surged out again, turning into a purple-scaled python, opening the bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, lightning pounced into the mist, after a writhing, a miserable scream resounded through the space, the fog gradually dissipated, the man knelt on the ground, the flesh and blood at the knees were blurred, only the white bones of Sensen were left on his right shoulder, and the scarlet blood slipped down drop by drop.

The man endured the pain, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the king's grace of not killing, and your subordinates must find out the person who meets the king's requirements as soon as possible." Bai Yiting waved his hand impatiently, and the mist reappeared, carrying the man away.

"Even the shadow killing has been missed, which has a great impact on the emperor's plan, what about the assassination map?

"I don't know yet, it will take some time for Emperor You and Emperor Xuan to get here, I hope their assassination plan can be rewarded, the emperor's anger is not something we can bear. Bai Yiting said helplessly.

As soon as the words fell, the space shook slightly, and the eyes of Bai Yiting and Lin Fan flashed, and they muttered at the same time: "It's here." ”

A white light pierced the air, revealing a slender opening, the torn opening showed the darkness and mystery of the stars, a man in white and a woman in red walked out of it, the man's black hair fell down, his deep eyes revealed composure and domineering, where his eyes passed, as if penetrated by a sharp blade, holding a long sword, a white tiger carved on it, lying on the ground, although the eyes were slightly closed, but the crimson blood around the body vibrated the air and made a sound.

The woman's purple hair is like a waterfall shawl, her eyes are cut with water, exuding a trace of tenderness, her lips are like pink peach petals, her muscles are like clotted fat, her slender and tall figure looks delicate and infinite under the red silk gauze clothes, and the woman gently attaches her head to the man's shoulder, and her face is full of happy smiles.

The man's lips moved slightly, and a slightly hoarse voice came out: "The emperor has ordered, the plan is changed slightly..."

After a long time, Bai Yiting and Lin Fan nodded slightly, and said in unison: "Understood, follow the emperor's will." Bai Yiting thought for a moment and asked, "Emperor You, Emperor Xuan, have you gotten any information from your thorn map?"

Qiu Tianyou took out a scroll from his arms when he heard the sound, his spiritual power moved slightly, and the scroll flew into the air and fell into Bai Yiting's hands.

Bai Yiting slowly spread out the scroll and read softly: "The Mo family's Moxiao is close to eighty percent, the Murong family's Murong Lingyu is eighty percent, and the Sikong family's Sikong Ruoyan's closeness is nearly ninety...... The proximity of Lin Jia Lin Yang is ninety, and Lin Jia Lin Yi is unknown... Hmm? What's going on here? The people who haven't been investigated are unknown, so why is he unknown?"

Lin Fan's body shook slightly, Bai Yiting's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had noticed something, and then asked, "Emperor Fan, looking at your reaction, is there anything strange about this little guy?"

Lin Fan was stunned, immediately shook his head, and said: "It's nothing, it's just because some past events are a little excited, don't mention it, don't mention it..."

Bai Yiting frowned, and scolded loudly: "Lin Fan, you'd better tell the truth about this little guy, don't hide it, it's in a critical period now, a little bit of information has a great impact on the emperor's plan, if it fails, you and I will have no bones." ”

Lin Fan hesitated slightly, took a deep breath and said: "His grandfather is the current Lin family patriarch Lin Tianyi, his father Lin Han is the leader of the Lin family, and he is also the leader in the family. But in my opinion, what's the use of fame? Whoever has a bigger fist and a harder fist in this world can change everything. ”

"So, I secretly cultivated the 'withered and dead air' in the opposition of a group of old antiques, and my cultivation increased day by day, until one day, after Lin Tianyi learned about it, he actually issued a killing order to me, and Lin Han was naturally the first to bear the brunt, persevering in chasing and killing me, I was almost killed by his ice spear because of the 'withered and dead air' did not cultivate to the fullest, fortunately the emperor passed by the place where I fought with Lin Han, severely injured Lin Han, rescued me, and I have been able to survive to this day. ”

Lin Fan's hands were clenched, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and drops of blood slipped through his fingers and fell to the ground, leaving a bottomless hole, Lin Fan adjusted his breathing again and continued: " And Lin Han's son Lin Yi is even more talented, known as a demon, at the age of three condensed the aura of heaven and earth in the dantian, at the age of six he had reached the eighth stage of the qi vortex, but at the age of eight, when he wanted to break through the qi vortex and become a martial artist, he was alone in the courtyard, I don't know what happened, and since then his cultivation has stagnated, and his cultivation speed has been slow. So far, too many people have surpassed him, and he is no longer a dazzling sun in the emerging generation, but an ordinary weed on the side of the road. This is the greatest gift and the best gift for me. ”

After hearing this, Bai Yiting pretended to apologize and said: "Emperor Vatican, I'm sorry, I was abrupt and reminded you of that sad past." Lin Tianyi and the patriarchs of the other clans confronted the emperor in the war that year, and paid a great price, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to recover, as for Lin Han, although the ice spirit gun is famous in the mainland, but I heard that after being seriously injured by the emperor, he retreated and practiced in the family for a while, and when he went out to practice again, he didn't know what happened to him, and his life and death are still uncertain, if he is still alive, hehe... But I want to see if he can break my Lei Lin Mirror with the power of the Martial Saint, it's just a small trouble, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

Bai Yiting lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Lin Yi, this little guy is quite interesting, Emperor Vatican, will he be the person the emperor needs?"

Lin Fan shook his head slightly, and said: "If it was him before he was eight years old, he was the most likely, but now he has been eclipsed, ordinary and ordinary, according to my judgment, he should not be the person the emperor needs." ”

The woman covered her sleeves and smiled, and said in a pleasant voice: "Emperor Vatican, you can't make up your mind so easily, the woman's intuition tells me that he is exactly the person the emperor needs." ”

A slightly hoarse and deep voice came from Qiu Tianyou's lips as red as cherry blossoms blooming in spring: "Do you need to report this matter to the emperor?"

Suddenly, there were mental fluctuations in the distant sky, which came into the minds of the four people, and after a long time, the four of them glanced at each other, bowed slightly to the distance and said, "Obey." ”

The four of them put their hands together slightly, constantly changing the movements in their hands, and a quadrangular formation was formed in the middle of the four people, and complex and ancient patterns came out of the formation one after another, shooting in all directions, and gradually, the light in the array dissipated.

Immediately, the four of them swept in different directions, and in a few flickeres, the figure disappeared, and the space returned to its original tranquility, the bamboo pole resting on the lotus leaves, the vertical line was still floating in the water, waving in a circle of ripples, and the small fish swam happily, not feeling a trace of danger.
