Chapter Seventy-Eight: Life Hangs by a Thread
"Big brother...... Senior brother, it's no good, Chen Liu is gone. Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the living room of the Zheng Mansion, followed by a panicked shout.
"What, Chen Liu actually disappeared at this time? Third Senior Brother, you go and chase him back. Hearing the report of his disciples, Chu Xiangzhong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the cup in his hand was also crushed by him.
"Senior brother, Chen Liu is just an acquired realm martial artist, he can't run far, I promise to come back to see you with his head. The third junior brother who was named threw down his words and quickly disappeared from the living room.
Qin Tianzong whispered a few words in Ye Wu's ear, Ye Wu immediately understood, and he quietly withdrew from the dark room, while Qin Tianzong still stayed in the dark room to listen to the movements in the living room.
"I didn't expect Chen Liu to be the inside line that those two old guys planted among us, I was really careless. Chu Xiangzhong slammed the table hard and said bitterly.
Chu Xiangzhong only brought twelve people with him when he went down the mountain this time, he originally thought that these twelve people were completely trustworthy people, but he didn't expect that there were still traitors here.
There was only one possibility for Chen Liu to disappear at this time, and that was that after hearing the news of the treasure of the Zheng Mansion, he hurried back to the Purple Cloud Sect to report to the other two forces.
Once the other two forces knew the news of the Stone House Treasure House, they would definitely rush over to compete for the treasure in the Stone House Treasure House, and in that case, Chu Xiangzhong, who was the weakest force, would definitely not be able to get the slightest benefit.
"Senior brother, I can't blame you for this matter. If you hadn't ordered us to work in pairs and watch each other while patrolling, we might not have been able to find out about Chen Liu's disappearance. Seeing Chu Xiangzhong's guilty look, an elite disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect couldn't help but speak out to comfort him.
"Yes, senior brother, don't blame yourself too much. Isn't it what you expected for Elder Yuan and Elder Li to plant eyeliner among us, not to mention that we have also planted eyeliner in their forces. Another voice also sounded at the right time, and the words revealed extreme trust and worship for Chu Xiangzhong.
Hearing the conversation between Chu Xiangzhong's senior brothers, Qin Tianzhong felt a feeling of nausea in his heart, Chu Xiangzhong was so good at acting, but no one could find out his true face.
Qin Tianzong was sure that once Chu Xiangzhong was in need, he would definitely choose to sacrifice a few juniors around him without hesitation to fulfill his own ambitions.
When Chu Xiangzhong and a few people were talking, suddenly there was a "bang" in the living room, and then the living room became quiet.
"Third Senior Brother!"
"Third Senior Brother!"
"Who's pretending to be a ghost, get out of here!"
After a short silence, the eyes of several Purple Cloud Sect disciples in the living room turned red, and Chu Xiangzhong was even more angry, shouting with all his might.
The fact that the "third junior brother" who had just gone out actually came back, but the "third junior brother" was a whole person when he went out, but he came back with a head, which greatly stimulated several people in the living room.
There was a soft "poof", and the lights in the living room suddenly went out, and the whole living room fell into darkness.
"Light the fire, be careful!" The moment the lights went out, Chu Xiangzhong shouted and immediately pounced in one direction.
Hearing Chu Xiangzhong's reminder, several other elite disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect who were in a panic quickly pulled out their self-defense magic weapons, and one of them took out a fire fold.
As soon as a spark lit up in the house, a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, and a fiery red whip struck the disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect who was holding the fire fold, and the disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect had a bloody hole in his throat, his eyes widened, and he pointed at a thin figure in front of him without looking at him.
At the same time, another scream rang out in the living room, and then the sound stopped abruptly, followed by a figure that shrank and fell to the ground.
"Where is the rat, there is a kind of fight with me openly, what kind of ability is it to hide and sneak attack?" Several times in a row the pursuit of the figure in the dark ended in failure, but his henchmen were killed one after another, Chu Xiangzhong finally couldn't hold his breath and shouted loudly.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, only a loud crackling sound could be heard, and the living room suddenly lit up.
Seeing the two extra figures in the living room, the remaining three elite disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect, including Chu Xiangzhong, immediately stood back to back, staring at the two black-clothed people who appeared in the house with a wary face.
After Chu Xiangzhong's four people got together, Qin Tianzong and Ye Wu lost the opportunity to continue the sneak attack, but Ye Wu had already killed the "third junior brother" before, just now Qin Tianzong and Ye Wu took advantage of the distraction of everyone in the house and solved two by sneak attack, and now there are only three innate realm martial artists led by Chu Xiangzhong left in the house.
"I don't know where the two of you come from, why did you attack our Purple Cloud Sect disciples, have we offended the two of you in any way?" After the confrontation just now, Chu Xiangzhong had already controlled his emotions, and seeing that it was two unfamiliar faces, he couldn't help but ask.
"Chu Xiangzhong, you really deserve the name of a hypocrite, if someone else saw a few fellow disciples die in front of him, he would have already jumped like thunder, you can still calmly get close to us, admire, admire!" Qin Tianzong glared at Chu Xiangzhong coldly and sneered indifferently.
Hearing Qin Tianzong call out his name, and even pointed out his surname in one sentence, and it seemed that he also had a great grudge against himself, Chu Xiangzhong was puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Qin Tianzong seriously.
"I really don't know where I've seen you, and I don't know if it's convenient to tell you. Chu Xiangzhong still looked unfazed when he spoke, which made people unable to find the slightest fault.
Chu Xiangzhong's kung fu speaking, he had already lit the fire, and the living room was back to light, and Qin Tianzong and Ye Wu's bodies were completely exposed to Chu Xiangzhong's eyes.
The remaining two elite disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect originally had a trace of fear for Qin Tianzong and Ye Wu who suddenly appeared, but after hearing Chu Xiangzhong's words that were neither humble nor arrogant, their mood slowly calmed down, and there was no longer a look of fear on their faces.
"Chu Xiangzhong, in terms of mentality, strength, and courage, you deserve to be a hero, but it's a pity that you are a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, so you will definitely die. Qin Tianzong saw Chu Xiangzhong's series of reactions just now, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Chu Xiangzhong in his heart.
It's just that the grievances accumulated over the past ten years are not something that can be thrown away, so Qin Tianzong sighed at Chu Xiangzhong and casually said a reason to prevaricate the other party.
"I think Your Excellency may have misunderstood me, after the Purple Cloud Sect Sect Master was killed, the Purple Cloud Sect fell into a state of leaderlessness among the dragons, and a few of us have been expelled from the Purple Cloud Sect, and we have nothing to do with the Purple Cloud Sect anymore......" Hearing Qin Tianzong and Ye Wu's reason for wanting to kill him, Chu Xiangzhong opened his mouth to justify.
"As Yun Guilan's chief disciple, his most favored disciple, will anyone believe you when you say this, and don't you think that you have weakened your momentum when you say this?" Qin Tianzong sneered and interrupted Chu Xiangzhong's words.
Chu Xiangzhong's face turned pale for a while when he heard this, his chest rose and fell, since his debut, he had never encountered such an aggrieved thing.
"Since Your Excellency insists on attacking us, I, Chu Xiangzhong, are not welcome. After the soft words failed, Chu Xiangzhong's face was gentle and his expression disappeared, but gradually turned cold.
At the same time as Chu Xiangzhong spoke, his body jumped vertically, and he rushed towards Qin Tianzong, at the same time, a flash of golden light flashed in his hand, but more than a dozen golden daggers slid through the air and flew straight towards Qin Tianzong's throat.
Chu Xiangzhong said that he would fight, without the slightest hesitation, if he changed someone, he would definitely suffer a big loss suddenly. It's just that Qin Tianzong has been friends with Chu Xiangzhong for more than ten years, and he knows Chu Xiangzhong's surname very well.
The moment Chu Xiangzhong's expression changed, Qin Tianzhong's body dodged behind Ye Wu, and at the same time, the whole person turned into a statue.
"Huh?" Seeing that his steady blow was actually dodged by Qin Tianzong in advance, Chu Xiangzhong couldn't help but exclaim.
However, Chu Xiangzhong only hesitated slightly, his body did not pause, and suddenly a teleportation fell in the direction of Qin Tianzong's back, and the eighteen golden daggers seemed to have eyes, bypassing Ye Wu and stabbing at Qin Tianzong's eyes.
Ye Wu obviously didn't expect Chu Xiangzhong to say that he would fight, and his body was so weird that he stood in place for a long time without reacting.
It wasn't until Chu Xiangzhong attacked Qin Tianzong again that Ye Wu realized his dereliction of duty, he burst into a shout and turned to meet Chu Xiangzhong.
"Your enemy is us!" Ye Wu's body had just moved, and immediately two sharp swords were in front of him, but it was the other two Purple Cloud Sect disciples who blocked his way like a sharp heart.
"Get out!" Ye Wu burst out, and the fire dragon whip in his hand flicked and rolled towards the sharp sword in the hands of the two people.
Seeing that Chu Xiangzhong was able to fly in the sky, Ye Wu knew that Chu Xiangzhong was at least a cultivator of the Hun Yuan Realm, Qin Tianzong was only a cultivator of the Qi Martial Realm, and the gap in the realm was too big, even if Qin Tianzhong's combat skills were powerful, Qin Tianzong was definitely not Chu Xiangzhong's opponent, Ye Wu knew that he couldn't delay the slightest effort at this time, and he couldn't wait to slap the two flies in front of him to death.
The two Purple Cloud Sects didn't mean to fight with Ye Wu, but wanted to delay Ye Wu for a while, and when they saw Ye Wu's long whip sweeping towards them, the two of them immediately fled away, not having any collision with Ye Wu at all.
"I know you're not telling me the truth, but I'm not interested in listening to you anymore, now you give me death!" Seeing that the two henchmen successfully delayed Ye Wu, Chu Xiangzhong showed a hideous smile on his face.
Chu Xiangzhong burst out of his mouth, and the two golden daggers stabbed Qin Tianzong's eyes, but his hands did not hesitate to plunge into Qin Tianzong's heart.
"Don't!" Seeing Qin Tianzong fall into a dangerous situation, he wanted to rescue but was powerless, Ye Wu's heart sank into the abyss.
