Chapter 70: The Calm Before the Storm

……

At this time.

In the secluded courtyard of a corner of Linglong City, a terrible scream suddenly came.

"My Hand ......"

I saw a hideous-looking man lying on the bed in that room, with missing hands and broken legs.

If Han You was still there, he would definitely be able to recognize this person at a glance as Gu Yun who he had killed with his own hands and destroyed his corpse with a fire.

It's just that this miserable appearance now is completely different from the chic and graceful appearance when I first saw it.

"Hold back! It is already the mercy of the Immortal Monarch that your life can be saved. ”

There was also a white-haired old man standing beside the bed, his eyes were both distressed and angry.

If it weren't for some of the rewards left by serving the Immortal Monarch since childhood, I'm afraid that Gu Yun would have really turned into ashes, where could he still come back to life, just like in myths and legends.

In contrast, the mere loss of an arm or leg is not a big deal at all.

"What if the arms and thighs are missing? As long as you can satisfy the Immortal Monarch and get some rewards, sooner or later your body will be able to return to its original state and even improve its strength! ”

"It's more important now...... We have lost so much face to our Gu family, and we almost almost made this plan completely fail......"

The white-haired old man said angrily: "Those people must be made to pay!" ”

"The person who killed me is Long Xiao! That Long Xiao ......"

Gu Yun on the bed endured the pain and barely got up.

He was so confident that night because he was confident that he would not die.

However, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and the price of resurrection was so heavy......

"We've looked into it." The white-haired old man snorted and sneered, "Although I haven't found the whereabouts of that Long Xiao, there is no doubt that the gang Bai Yue here will be inextricably linked with each other. ”

"If that guy dares to continue to hide like a shrunken turtle, we will kill the entire White Moon Society, as well as all the people who have something to do with him, and see if he can hide or not."

Gu Yun didn't forget to remind: "That Long Xiao's sword technique is very weird, and there is a mysterious white-clothed swordsman whose strength does not seem to be weaker than that Long Xiao, their identity and origin ......"

"Don't worry, the family has already sent people to most of the famous hidden families and sects to inquire, these two people are very strange, and they are definitely not from the famous sects."

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and beard, and said proudly: "This time, we dispatched a master with enough strength to deal with this kind of fool who was born in the mundane world, thought he had learned some good kung fu, and crushed a few ordinary martial artists who thought he was invincible in the world, it was completely a piece of cake!" ”

"That's good." Gu Yun knew very well the strength of the family, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the elders say this, and immediately, a cruel smile appeared on his face that was holding back the pain.

"It doesn't matter if the others are alive or dead, everyone in Linglong City is all dead, but please capture that person named Long Xiao alive, I will cut off his hands and feet to make a human being, so that he can't survive and die!"

"Don't worry." The white-haired old man said, "But although the imperial court has been notified this time, after all, the family's plan is important, and we still have to keep a low profile in this matter, like the previous thing of slaughtering villages and cities, we still can't do it......"

"Otherwise, if you attract the attention of those old things, the key to the Bone Land here may be at risk of being snatched away."

"I understand......" Gu Yun took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

For beings like them, mortals are like ants who don't care about it.

The key is only the key!

……

The night was already dark.

Thick layers of black clouds drifted in the sky, obscuring the moonlight and sparks.

There was an oppressive feeling of stuffiness in the air, as if a rainstorm was about to come.

I don't know if I was worried about the rain, but most of the people on the street went home early, and even the shops closed early.

Somehow, today's government officials said early that they would conduct a large-scale spot check, which is usually a metaphor for picking out unlucky eggs to knock on some silver, so that the shopkeepers have closed their doors, hoping to escape.

In the evening, there were still several officers and soldiers shuttling through the streets in groups to inspect, and I don't know when these officers and soldiers disappeared.

No, it is more accurate to concentrate on the vicinity of the mansions of a few important officials, as if they heard some rumors.

And near the territory where the White Moon Society is located, there is not a single official who has not seen it.

Naturally, this point can't escape them, who often deal with people in the government.

In the courtyard of the headquarters of the White Moon Society.

"Miss, something seems to be wrong today."

A worried voice came from Yuanqin, who was supervising what he was going to meet with Prince Taibai tonight.

She looked away from the boxes and looked at the guards behind her.

"What's wrong?"

"The people of the government have evacuated." The guard bowed his head and replied, "In the past, in order to monitor our movements, they would plant a few spies around here. ”

"Especially recently, our reputation has gradually increased, and there are more people arranged by the government."

This is also an unspoken rule that everyone has defaulted to.

Otherwise, the government will not reassure them, but will have more trouble.

And if they really want to do something unseemly, there are many ways to get around those sights.

But now the spies are all gone.

It's as if they got some kind of news and evacuated.

This is definitely not good news for them.

"The people of the government want to do something to us?"

Yuan Qin's first reaction was this, but he frowned slightly and denied.

I just met with the Inspector An today, and the other party shouldn't turn his face so quickly.

"If that's not the case, then could it be that someone from another organization is eyeing us?"

She pondered for a while, but she didn't have a clue, and she couldn't think of any underground organization that could make the government back down.

"In short, let the people below be careful, send someone to secretly observe and patrol nearby, and report to me immediately if there is any movement."

She looked back at the boxes that were being filled with items, feeling a little uneasy.

"Let's hope there won't be any accidents."

……

It has been seven years since he became a member of the White Moon Society's spies.

From the beginning of a little beggar who fled to this place, to being adopted by the White Moon Society and teaching him to practice martial arts, he remembered all the kindness in his heart and did not dare to forget.

He also worked very hard in martial arts.

Fortunately, his talent is also very good, he has reached the fourth rank level at a young age, which can be regarded as a middle-level strength, and now he has been upgraded to the captain of a team, responsible for guarding the security around the headquarters.

Under his careful and thoughtful arrangement, there have indeed been no accidents.

Only tonight, he was keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Be careful! Not even a single mouse can be put in! ”

After he received Yuanqin's order, he turned his head and instructed his subordinates.

Seeing these subordinates hiding in various dark corners and guarding as usual, he looked at the dark and oppressive sky, but the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.
