Beyond the monstrous sea of fire.

A large group of Qiao people kept coming and going, and buckets of water were brought by them from a nearby well and poured into the fire.

But for the monstrous sea of fire, these are just a drop in the bucket.

That's when it happened.

Everyone saw Elder Qiao Hongwen and the two who had just rushed into the sea of fire, and retreated in a hurry.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw that the raging fire suddenly surged, gradually spreading, forming a passage that was neither big nor small, just enough to accommodate one person.

A figure slowly stepped out of the passage.

Under the extremely distorted air, this black-clothed figure that was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin was like a dream, as if it was trampling on everyone's hearts.

"The sound of the battle has stopped, and he has come out, what about the patriarch?"

"And Elder Qiao Feiyue, it seems that he has long disappeared, is it ......?"

Come to think of it.

Everyone gasped.

Everyone turned their eyes on Qiao Hongwen and the others, waiting for their reactions.

There is a high probability that the patriarch and other elders have fallen, and the fate of the entire Qiao clan is likely to be in the hands of the two of them.

Merely.

Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, they all knew in their hearts that the reason why Qiao Hongwen and the others escaped in a hurry was probably because they saw the fate of the patriarch and Elder Qiao Feiyue, and they thought that they were not the opponents of the man in black.

So.

The next thing could be even worse.

The huge Qiao clan, I'm afraid no one can balance the man in black.

Qiao Hongwen and the others looked solemn, staring closely at Ling Jiuqiu's figure, watching the other party walk out of the sea of fire step by step, and stopped not far in front of them.

"What? Do you want to fight? ”

Ling Jiuqiu lifted the long sword, casually pulled a sword flower, and asked indifferently.

"Huh?"

"Listening to him, it seems that you have the idea of stopping?"

Qiao Hongwen and the others suddenly moved in their hearts.

The two glanced at each other, and both had the intention of a truce, after all, even without such a special environment as the Sea of Fire, it was impossible for them to kill each other.

If they continue to entangle, the two of them may also be slowly dragged to death by each other.

Of course, it would be best if there was a truce.

It's just that after all, the other party came to the door twice, not only burned down the mansion, but also killed the patriarch and the two elders one after another, and the two sides can be called enemies who do not share the sky.

Although they have the heart to negotiate peace, and even admit it, if they really open their mouths, I am afraid that they will become sinners of the family and be accused by countless people behind their backs.

Even if they are facing a desperate situation now, everyone knows that they are not the opponents of the man in black, and they can understand the behavior of admitting cowardice.

But after the crisis, those who have relatives who died in the fire, or who have suffered heavy losses, will definitely blame them.

Even when all the clansmen are clearly aware of the decline of the family, they will definitely shift all the blame on the loser.

So, after glancing at each other, neither of the two elders spoke, but just looked at Ling Jiuqiu quietly, waiting for his follow-up reaction.

"If you want to continue fighting, then I will accompany you to the end, although I don't like to kill, but I will never be soft-hearted towards the enemy."

"If you don't want to fight again, then you can compensate me for my losses."

Hearing Ling Jiuqiu's words, some of the Qiao people around who were fighting the fire were suddenly so angry that they ascended to heaven.

Qiao Hongwen and the others were also full of anger.

"It's so deceitful! You're just relying on your strength to run around, do you really think you're so powerful? ”

"You killed our patriarch and the two elders, either by sneak attack, or by taking advantage of the environment, in terms of strength, you are not an opponent of any of us at all, what qualifications do you have to ask us for compensation?"

Hearing this, Ling Jiuqiu's long sword was lightly raised, and he pointed at the other party casually, smiling and saying, "It seems that you choose to continue fighting?" ”

Qiao Hongwen and the others looked stunned.

That's when it happened.

A clansman ran briskly:

"Report to the elder, Deputy Commander Zhao of the City Guard Army brought a group of men and horses over to ask what happened in the mansion and if we need assistance? They are currently waiting outside the house. ”

Generally speaking, the imperial court does not interfere in the internal affairs of clan or gang forces, and will only intervene in the event of vicious killings or sabotage.

For example, wanton killing in the city, or vicious competition between major powers, wantonly destroying each other's industries, these are not allowed by the imperial court.

And if these killings or sabotage incidents reach a certain level and begin to spread to the outside world, the imperial court will forcibly intervene.

For example, the fire in Qiaofu is a vicious sabotage event that may affect the outside world at any time.

An act of deliberate arson like Ling Jiuqiu, as long as Qiao's Mansion reported it, would be able to make the imperial court wanted, or assist in arresting it on the spot.

Qiao Hongwen and the two glanced at each other, and they were immediately quite moved, with the assistance of the city guards, they had a greater chance of taking each other.

Yesterday, the other party ran too fast, and when the city guards came, the other party had already disappeared.

And today, the other party fought fiercely in Qiao's mansion, although it only took less than ten minutes, but it was enough for the city guards to arrive.

"Are the city guards here too?"

At this time, Ling Jiuqiu chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "Then this battle will be even more exciting, go and notify the city guards to come in, today, let's have a good fight!" ”

He approached Qiao Hongwen and the others step by step.

"Wait!"

Qiao Hongwen subconsciously shouted.

Hearing this, Jiuqiu stopped.

Other clansmen also looked at it.

The center of his mind was a spin.

"This black-clothed person is so terrifying, a few of us can't catch him at all, even if we ask the city guards to help, I'm afraid it won't help."

"On the contrary, he lost the opportunity to make peace, deepening the hostility of the other party, maybe he will attack again next time, in this case, the entire Qiao clan may not be able to withstand it a few times."

"Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? What's more, it's a thief with such a powerful body. ”

Come to think of it.

He quickly glanced at the other elder beside him, and quickly made eye contact.

"What? Is there anything you'd like to say? ”

Ling Jiuqiu asked indifferently.

Qiao Hongwen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I want to know, why did the little brother attack my Qiao clan three times and twice?" ”

"This has to ask your patriarch Qiao Wenbo, he led people to rob and kill me, not only killed my companions, but also caused my carriage to be damaged, and all the pills worth hundreds of thousands of taels were also destroyed."

Ling Jiuqiu said coldly: "I killed Qiao Wenbo to avenge my companion, but for the loss of my elixir, you must compensate me, otherwise, the hatred between us will not end, and I will come to you again and again." ”

The corners of Qiao Hongwen's mouth twitched.

An elixir worth hundreds of thousands of taels?

It's a lion's mouth, and who knows if this amount is true.
