Chapter 19 Causes
"Boss Liu, I need an explanation. Jing Chao came to the man surnamed Liu, and his tone was obviously angry.
It is impossible for a divine soldier worth 20,000 gold coins to arouse the covetousness of the upper cultivator, and this mission is obviously not a low-level grade, obviously the man surnamed Liu is hiding some things.
The man surnamed Liu looked calm, as if he expected Jing Chao to ask these questions. He returned the sword to the guard next to him, and chuckled, a laugh that contained helplessness and despair. "They still came after all, and they couldn't hide from it. ”
Jing Chao said coldly: "What I want is an explanation!" At this time, a person from the Drifting Cloud Sect ran over with pain on his face.
"Jing Shangxiu, Yang Pingshan...... He died. ”
Jing Chao's face changed, and he immediately looked to the side. I saw that everyone in the Drifting Cloud Sect was approaching here, and two of them were carrying a corpse, the corpse was a middle-aged strong man, and he had a terrifying wound on his chest and abdomen.
Jing Chao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them suddenly, looking at the man surnamed Liu, as if shooting two sharp swords.
"What I want now is an explanation. Jing Chao's expression was extremely cold, and he said word by word.
The rest of the Piaoyun Sect also looked at the man surnamed Liu with unkind eyes, the danger of this mission was far more dangerous than they expected, it was because of the man surnamed Liu that they would sacrifice a partner.
Looking at the dead guards beside him, and then at Yang Pingshan's corpse, Lu Shuiyan's eyes gradually dimmed. Suddenly, Lu Shuiyan took a step forward, "I'll say it." Glancing at the man surnamed Liu, seeing that he didn't mean to stop him, Lu Shuiyan directly took off the hat on his head, revealing a delicate face.
"Female?" some people in the Floating Cloud Sect were a little surprised.
Lu Shuiyan was straight, looking like a superior person. "I am Lu Shuiyan, the eldest lady of the Lu family in Sanbao Town, and you must have heard about my Lu family. ”
Hearing this, the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect immediately thought of what had happened in Sanbao Town a month ago.
Sanbao Town is a town close to the Drifting Cloud Sect, and there were originally three major forces in the town to form a three-legged situation, namely the Wang family, the Shui family, and the Lu family.
The Wang family and the Shui family are both seventh-level cultivators, while the Lu family's major is eighth-level cultivators. Therefore, on weekdays, both the Wang family and the Shui family have to look at the faces of the Lu family.
However, a month ago, the head of the Lu family suddenly returned with serious injuries, and the Wang family and the Shui family coveted the Lu family's property, so they immediately seized this opportunity and joined forces to attack the Lu family. In the end, it ended with the Lu family basically being wiped out.
However, everyone in the Drifting Cloud Sect didn't expect that the daughter of the Lu family would escape.
"It seems that those people are here to hunt her down, and the target is not these carts of divine soldiers at all. ”
"When it comes to the task of family grievances, my clan usually won't take it, and they actually involve us!"
"Damn, Brother Yang's death was caused by them!"
Lu Shuiyan saw the angry appearance of the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect, and her delicate body trembled slightly, but she still tried to maintain her composure. "Jing Shang Xiu. Lu Shuiyan raised the saber in his hand to the front, "If you promise to continue to protect us, this knife will be used as a reward." With that, Lu Shuiyan threw the saber in her hand.
Jing Chao stretched out his left hand and grabbed it, and there was a heavier feeling in his hand, which made his expression move slightly.
airplanes
The sword was unsheathed, exuding bursts of coldness. Jing Chao's eyes changed, and immediately the Xuan Qi urged, and a series of intertwined and very complex patterns suddenly appeared on the blade.
"Magic weapon!"
"It's a magic weapon!"
Everyone in the Drifting Cloud Sect couldn't help but shout immediately.
Magic weapons, far beyond the weapons above the divine soldiers. Even if it is a low-grade magic weapon, the value must be more than 100,000 gold coins, and the upper cultivation will be tempted, and it is priceless.
The reason why the upper cultivators are powerful is because they can condense the Xuan Pattern. Xuanwen is not only the basis for using martial arts, but also can explode strong power, and the magic weapon is a weapon with its own Xuanwen, which can be said to be a weapon specially made for upward cultivation. If the upper cultivator has a magic weapon in hand, even if it is a low-grade magic weapon, it can increase the combat power by fifty percent.
And the refining of magic weapons is extremely complicated, and even for ninth-level cultivators, it is difficult to refine them. Generally speaking, most of the ritual artifacts were refined by the Venerable Master, which led to the deformed preciousness of the ritual artifacts.
When the middle cultivators of the Drifting Cloud Sect saw the magic weapon, although they knew that they couldn't use it, they couldn't help but blush.
"Why don't they make it their task to escort magic weapons?" asked a person from the Drifting Cloud Sect suspiciously.
The person next to him kept his eyes on the magic weapon, trying to take a few more looks, "If it is the task of escorting the magic weapon, I will definitely find out the origin of the magic weapon, in this case, I will not accept this task at all." ”
Jing Chao measured the sword weapon for a while, and then put it into the scabbard. "What's the name of this knife?" Jing Chao asked.
Lu Shuiyan was also stunned, but she didn't expect Jing Chao to come to this sentence abruptly. "Shadow Sword. Lu Shuiyan replied.
Jing Chao nodded, and suddenly threw the Burning Shadow War Knife back to Lu Shuiyan. Jing Chao suddenly turned around, glanced at Yang Pingshan's corpse, and then said to the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect: "The purpose of those people's attack tonight must have been seen by some of you, they are here to remind us that there is a problem with the mission we received, and they want us not to intervene in their grievances. ”
There is a rule of the Ministry of Security: when it is found that the mission does not match the introduction, the escort can be interrupted.
"However, they killed our people, and my people from the Floating Cloud Sect must not die in vain!" Jing Chao's eyes became more and more fierce, "Now the mission has been upgraded: escort the Burning Shadow Battle Knife, worth more than 150,000 gold coins, the starting point - Hengduan Mountain Range, the end point - Weishui City, now, the mission begins!"
Swish...... Everyone in the Drifting Cloud Sect straightened up in unison.
Lu Shuiyan's thin lips opened slightly in surprise, she was worried that Jing Chao would directly snatch the Burning Shadow Battle Knife away when she handed it over to Jing Chao, but she had no choice but to gamble. But she never dreamed that Jing Chao would make such a decision.
The man surnamed Liu was also so excited that he almost trembled, but he knew what Jing Chao meant, and took the task of escorting the Burning Shadow War Sword to blur the family grievances, which not only met the standards of the escort mission, but also maintained the face of the Drifting Cloud Sect.
"The Drifting Cloud Sect is really the most special clan. Lu Shuiyan's heart was full of joy.
Jing Chao's gaze turned to the man surnamed Liu again, and said, "Boss Liu, I think it's time to talk about the honorarium." ”
"No problem. The man surnamed Liu was a little excited, "What do you think of the four carts of divine soldiers as a gratuum?"
......
Lu Shuiyan was in an extremely good mood at the moment, with the great help of everyone in the Floating Cloud Sect, she had great hope of arriving at Weishui City safely. Once she arrived in Weishui City, with the constraints of the city rules, the Wang family and the Shui family did not dare to attack and kill her again.
At this time, Lu Shuiyan suddenly saw that not far away, Ye Tianxun was leaning against a boulder, looking decadent.
"Are you okay, are you hurt?" Lu Shuiyan bowed slightly, looked at Ye Tianxun, and said with concern.
Ye Tian Xun didn't raise his head, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not a qualified cultivator. ”
Lu Shuiyan also leaned on the boulder and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I'm afraid of death. Ye Tianxun's tone was helpless, "Seeing the two black-clothed men rushing towards you, I don't even have the courage to fight them." ”
Lu Shuiyan looked up at the sky and said, "You heard what I said just now." ”
Ye Tianxun was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. He did hear about Lu Shuiyan, and Lu Shuiyan's entire family was basically wiped out, but he really wasn't in the mood to consider her inner feelings now.
Lu Shuiyan continued: "My father used to say before his death that the last thing a cultivator should do is to know what he can't do, and the most important thing to do is to know what he can't do. ”
I didn't understand what that meant, but I didn't understand until the day of the family disaster. After speaking, Lu Shuiyan looked at Ye Tianxun gently, "The strength of those two enemies is very strong, even if you have the courage to fight them, it is only the courage of a horseman." ”
Ye Tianxun still lowered his head, but in his heart, he kept silently reciting Lu Shuiyan's words.
......
More than ten miles away from the caravan, the man with scar smashed a boulder with a punch, and said angrily: "Bastard, who made you die?"
There were three kneeling in front of the scarred man, all of whom looked dejected and frightened.
"Get out, get out of here!" the scarred man flicked his arm, his tone furious to the extreme. The three of them immediately crawled away.
"Waste, waste!" The man with the scar was still angry, he didn't expect that the previous attack would actually lead to the death of one person from the Drifting Cloud Sect.
A large clan like the Drifting Cloud Sect is very face-conscious, and if they directly send someone to tell them that they have been used, even if they know that they are being used, they will not pay attention to it. Because it seemed as if he was threatened, he chose to interrupt the escort mission.
That's why the scar man planned this attack, the purpose of which was to tell the Drifting Cloud Sect in disguise that they were deceived by the Lu family, hoping that they would take the initiative to interrupt the escort mission.
However, what the scar man did not expect was that he had already instructed his subordinates to leave with only one hand, but there were still casualties. And he couldn't punish the three of them, because one of them was almost killed, and the other two went to help, which caused the accident.
There were casualties, which made the scar man's hint change for a moment, as if it was obvious that as long as you Drifting Cloud Sect dared to continue escorting this mission, the end would only be death.
The man with the scar became anxious in his heart, with the combat power under his hands now only comparable to the "caravan", fighting desperately, not only would he offend the Drifting Cloud Sect, but he might also suffer heavy losses. But if the daughter of the Lu family is allowed to leave, after all, he will not be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Whether to fight or retreat is really a dilemma.
"It's good that I left one move, but only one chance. The scarred man frowned, "You have to plan it well." ”
