Chapter 108: Hunt and Kill
Fortunately, Zhang Lianhao had the treasure elixir that he had looted for many years, and he went all the way south and came straight to the capital of Liang State.
He has been operating in Black Wind City for many years, and all the families of Liang and Cai who have a business are more or less involved with him.
Originally, according to Zhang Lianhao's original plan, after coming to the national capital, he relied on the wealth and connections he had accumulated over the years to make a comeback in the Liang Kingdom.
Just as he was planning, it coincided with the accident in the national capital a few months ago, and in the midst of the change, he was keenly aware of the opportunity.
The backbone of the Qingyun Sect and the Imperial Family, that is, those high-level Qi Refiners, has been hit hard, and in order to make up for the vacancy, the Royal Family and the Qingyun Sect have vigorously recruited powerful Qi Refiners to supplement these vacancies.
Zhang Lianhao finally chose the Qingyun faction between the royal family and the Qingyun faction.
It's not because the strength of the Qingyun faction is stronger than that of the royal family, on the contrary, judging from the cultivation pattern of the Liang Kingdom alone, the strength of the royal family is stronger than the Qingyun faction, at least on the bright side.
Moreover, after all, the royal family represents the orthodoxy of a country, and the benefits that can be obtained by becoming a royal family worship are in no way inferior to the worship of the Qingyun faction.
The reason why he made such a choice was because Zhang Lianhao had been in the cultivation world for many years after all, wandering between Liang and Cai, and knew many secrets of the Liang country's cultivation world.
There are three monks in the Liang Kingdom who are in the realm of foundation building, and the Great Ancestor of the Imperial Family is the first person who deserves to be the first, and it is rumored that he has reached the peak of foundation building, and the second is the contemporary head of the Qingyun faction.
The third foundation building monk is quite mysterious, and no one knows the level of his cultivation, but he had a duel with the royal ancestor back then, and although he was defeated in the end, he was able to retreat calmly.
If it weren't for the fellow foundation building monks, how could they have done this?
Zhang Lianhao even knew that the Qingyun Sect, which occupied half of the cultivation world in the Liang Kingdom, was very likely to be just a lower sect, and its upper sect was rumored to be a super sect far away in the Han Dynasty.
For the current Zhang Lianhao, his only son is dead, and it is not easy for a Qi Refiner to give birth to an heir, not to mention that his age is close to his twilight years.
If you want to leave an heir, it is bound to be difficult to reach the sky, and no matter how much wealth and fame you have, it is meaningless for a qi refiner who has only a few decades of life.
Therefore, Zhang Lianhao decided to join the Qingyun faction, in the final analysis, his purpose was to be eager to be appreciated by the Qingyun faction and introduce him to the Shangzong who was far away in the Han Dynasty.
As long as he is favored by such big people, He Chou does not have an elixir to improve his cultivation, or a supernatural exercise, as long as he improves his cultivation, then his lifespan will also be extended.
It is a matter of his own net worth and life, how dare Zhang Lianhao not bother to obey orders, this mission is personally arranged by the door, as long as the young man named Wu Jun is caught.
In the heart of the door, his image of Zhang Lianhao's ability to do things has also been established, after all, this is a matter of giving the Qingyun faction a long face.
Coincidentally, at the invitation of Liu Feng today, to assist him in promulgating the court's reward order, he accidentally saw Ye Ziyu's shadow and image.
Regarding the so-called collusion of the demon clan with Confucianism to slaughter the village, Zhang Lianhao didn't take it to heart at all.
If it is really a Confucian disciple, don't say that it is them, even if it is the upper sect of the Qingyun Sect, that super sect, he does not dare to do anything with the real Confucian disciples.
As for the demon clan, with Zhang Lianhao's experience and experience, he naturally knows more than those people in the rivers and lakes, and the demon clan that can turn into a human form is at least a demon general who has survived a catastrophe.
This kind of existence is not something that these people in the rivers and lakes or qi refiners can provoke.
Regarding Ye Ziyu's identity, Zhang Lianhao had already guessed when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, and his identity must be inextricably linked with Confucianism, so he didn't dare to make a move that day and fled without a fight.
He raised the picture in his hand again and looked at it for a long time, and his heart moved, isn't this the opportunity God gave me?
According to the plan of the imperial court and the Qingyun faction, this kid has already become a big sinner who colludes with the demon clan and slaughters the human race, and can be described as a public enemy of the whole people.
Liu Feng saw Zhang Lianhao looking at the portrait in a daze, and a trace of anger couldn't help but rise in his heart, and said lightly: "Brother Zhang, who is this person?" What the hell do you have to do with him! ”
The tone was flat, and the voice was not too loud, but there was a blessing of true qi in the sound waves that came out, and Zhang Lianhao, who was suddenly shocked, took a few steps back, leaned against the rock wall, and then stopped his figure.
Zhang Lianhao's thoughts were interrupted, and Liu Feng's words just now kept echoing in his ears, he was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly mobilized his true qi to lower the surging qi in his body.
After a while, Zhang Lianhao's face recovered, and when he looked at Liu Feng, his face was full of smiles, and he hugged his fists and said, "Lord Liu, it's rude." ”
Liu Feng snorted coldly and said: "These two people, but you Yang Zhangmen wanted, for this matter, Yang Zhangmen specially came to beg Dazu and his old man, if you know something, just say it, let's give the boss an errand." ”
Zhang Lianhao hurriedly replied: "The matter is important, I naturally know the severity, this kid was against me at the beginning, his strength is not strong, it seems to be the strength of the fifth layer of qi refining, but the real qi on his body is a little weird, I am worried that there are masters behind him, so I didn't fight him." ”
Liu Feng was slightly stunned, could it be that there is still a protector hidden in the dark? This situation must be reported immediately, so as not to make a mistake in the judgment of the top management, so that the death of those who do the work will not be clear when the time comes.
He made up his mind, so he said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, let's go back to the capital first and report this matter to the Great Ancestor and Head Yang." ”
Zhang Lianhao nodded hurriedly yes, but there was a cold glint in his eyes, he looked down at the young man's face on the portrait, sneered in his heart, and followed Liu Feng's figure and rushed to the direction of the national capital.
At the edge of the town, a ragged figure mingled in the bustling crowd, and he looked back from time to time, but no one was following.
Until he got out of the town, Cui Yanwen squeezed out of the crowd and didn't take the main road, but went straight into a dense forest and disappeared.
After walking into the dense forest for a long time, Cui Yanwen was already tired and out of breath at this time, and the clothes on his body were wet with sweat.
He looked back again, and when he was sure that no one was following, he sat down on the ground with his back to a large tree to cool off.
At this time, he looked relaxed, touched his bulging belly, picked up a few weeds casually, held them in his mouth, and sucked the juice in the grass, looking comfortable.
The shade of the trees was shrouded, the cool breeze was blowing, and it was dusk, and his belly was round and he ran out all the way, already a little tired.
Fortunately, he lay down under the big tree, looking at the sunset in the west, Cui Yanwen yawned a big way, stretched his waist, and was ready to sleep in this wilderness.
He just closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a trace of coolness in his throat, Cui Yanwen felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't open his eyes, so he reached out and wanted to touch his neck to see what was uncomfortable.
But before his hand could be put on his throat, he felt a cold object in mid-air, and immediately after, a heart-piercing pain came from his fingers.
Fortunately, Cui Yanwen was directly scared to death, he quickly opened his eyes and wanted to struggle to get up, but when he saw it, it was a sword tip that flashed with cold light.
At this time, it was only three inches away from his Adam's apple, and a biting chill instantly spread throughout his body, and he looked up again.
But it was a pretty face with a sarcastic face, and it was the girl named He Ling who was sitting next to him just now.
After Cui Yanwen saw the person who came, his face instantly turned a little pale, and he was stunned for a moment.
He rolled his eyes, forced a smile, and smiled at He Ling: "He Nuxia, you are ......"
He Ling sneered: "Cui Gongzi, why are you running so fast?" I haven't finished the food on the table yet. ”
Cui Yanwen secretly complained in his heart, didn't the meaning of this be clear, if he couldn't eat, he would walk around.
Immediately, he pretended to be calm and said, "Miss He, you can't make such a joke, my master and his old man are near here." If you hurt me, I'm afraid his old man will be unhappy. ”
He Ling's expression changed slightly, and he looked around, except for the mountain wind blowing the leaves, there was a loud noise, and occasionally birds flew up, chirping and flying into the sky.
Other than that, there are no other circumstances.
I remembered that I had just followed all the way, but I didn't find anyone walking with this kid at all, and this dirt bun was sneaky all the way, and he looked back from time to time, looking like a thief.
If there is really a master's inheritance, what kind of senior masters are standing behind him, how can he still be the same as he is now.
Thinking of this, He Ling feigned anger and said: "Until now, you still dare to treat me as a three-year-old child, and today you have to take your life!" ”
After speaking, the long sword in her hand was handed forward, and it was about to pierce Cui Yanwen's throat.
At the moment of life and death, Cui Yanwen borrowed a bit of courage from somewhere, and his frightened legs finally had strength at this time, and he hurriedly dodged his head, just avoiding He Ling's fatal stab.
The sharp tip of the sword was immediately nailed to the big tree behind Cui Yanwen, and he got up in a hurry, and he didn't dare to fight with He Ling, so he ran into the depths of the woods as soon as he slipped away.
He Ling pushed back, trying to pull out the long sword nailed to the tree, but the sword was too sharp, and one-third of the sword body was sunk in.
Although she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is only a step stronger than ordinary people like Cui Yanwen, and she can't pull out her sword for a while, seeing that Cui Yanwen is about to run into the mountains and lose her trace.
He Ling gritted his silver teeth, but he directly gave up the sword and ignored it, his body flashed, and he chased after Cui Yanwen with light skills.
As soon as she left the tree, a figure jumped down from the top of the tree, He Yue held the hilt of the sword and pulled it gently, and the sword was immediately pulled out of the tree.
He looked in the direction of Cui Yanwen's escape, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but his face became more and more gloomy.
