Chapter Twenty-Four: The Red Lotus Flame The Assassin Bears the Blame
"Oh no, the flame is gone!"
When someone inspected the room again, they inevitably found that the lotus lamp on the altar was missing, and they immediately exclaimed!
Immediately, the entire manor was in chaos, and countless people wearing red clothes or wearing red cloth belts on their heads frantically searched, digging inside and outside the manor, but they never found any clues.
Just when the group of people were panicking, the middle-aged man wearing a lotus crown walked back with his men.
Because he didn't catch the assassin who infiltrated the manor and attacked him, his face looked very ugly.
At first, he didn't pay attention, but when he returned to the room, he looked up and didn't find that the lotus lamp was not on the altar, and his face couldn't help but change greatly: "Where is the lotus treasure lamp?" ”
"Returning to the Holy Envoy."
One of the gang stammered, "After you left, someone sneaked in and took the lantern ...... Stolen! ”
"What did you say?"
The middle-aged man was shocked, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and immediately took the man into his hand in the air, and asked viciously, "Lost the treasure lantern?" The flame was stolen? ”
The man who was caught by him in his hand was full of horror, but he was choked by the neck, and he could only reluctantly nod his head
"See who it is?"
"No, no one in sight!"
"Rubbish!"
The middle-aged man's face turned cold, and he used his hand to break the man's neck with a click, and then he was still angry, and kicked the corpse out with a fierce kick.
His chest heaved and he was angry, obviously angry!
Finally, he begged for an errand from the elders, and came to Jiangzhou City to secretly develop his power and collect the sect members.
As a result, before the situation was opened, he encountered an accident, first he was assassinated, and then even the holy flame was stolen, which is a big trouble!
If it was just a setback in the development forces, he wouldn't care about the number of casualties among ordinary sect members, but the matter of the Holy Fire was very important, and if he couldn't find it, he would definitely be severely punished!
Thinking of the horrific punishments of the sect members, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, turned around suddenly, his eyes swept over everyone one by one like electricity, and his tone was full of crazy killing intent: "Search for me, if you can't find the holy fire, it's a big matter for the sect leader, I'll let you all be buried together!" ”
"Yes!"
"In addition, send someone to find the assassins who are attacking tonight, they must be in a group, otherwise they will never cooperate with such a tacit understanding!
Hmph, if you dare to conspire with me to teach the Holy Fire, you are really brave, that assassin was burned by the Holy Flame, and he was hit by my Heart Eater Cone, and his life has already gone for eight or nine points, and he will definitely not be able to escape. ”
He looked at the strongest red-clothed men under his command: "You guys, focus on finding clues about that assassin!" ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Everyone agreed, and immediately led their men to disperse, some of them searched for the treasure thieves who might not have gone far, and more followed the direction of the previous assassin's escape!
…………
At this time, Cao Xiu had already come to the city wall.
He ran a few steps and jumped forward, directly jumping more than a foot high, and then used his hands and feet together, like a big horse monkey to quickly climb up.
The city wall is very high, but there are inevitably some gaps between the bricks and stones, Cao Xiu's strength is outward, his fingers are like hooks, and he easily climbed over the city wall and jumped into the city.
Previously, he put the lotus lantern in the manor, not simply to take revenge on these people for coveting his own shop.
The real reason is that I vaguely feel that the flame in the lotus lamp is a little different, and it seems to be a kind of spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth spiritual fire, each of them is a rare treasure, since you see it, of course you can't let it go.
What's more, the "Six Extremes Holy Demon Skill" he cultivated, he needed the power of the six extreme paths, and it was not easy to raise the pure yang qi to the extreme by his own cultivation alone, although the pure yang qi he cultivated now was pure and flawless, it was only the true yuan of the innate realm, and it was still far from the power of the extreme path.
But if you fuse the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, not only will the power skyrocket, but it will also be easier to achieve the requirements.
It was for this reason that he had the audacity to take the lotus lantern, and then avoided the patrols and left the manor.
Anyway, he can hide in the cave at any time, and he won't be noticed in the night!
At this moment, I entered the city, ran all the way home, and did not knock on the door, but went directly over the wall.
"Xiu'er!"
As soon as he landed, he was discovered by his mother, Wang.
"Why did you come back so late? Hungry, come over and eat! ”
Wang didn't blame him, but brought out Wen's meal in the kitchen.
"Thank you, mother!"
Cao Xiu was not polite, finished the meal in three or two bites, and then instructed his younger brother Cao Chong next to him to go to sleep quickly.
When only the mother and son were left in the room, they whispered to the Wang family about today's experience.
"It's actually a demon of the Red Lotus Sect!"
Wang Wanzhen was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't provoke them again in the future, the Red Lotus Demon does things unscrupulously, and the power is strong, although it is disliked by the righteous path, but the inheritance has never been exterminated, but it is not something that our family can afford to provoke!" ”
"Red Lotus Sect?"
Cao Xiu was also a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect it to be them!
He didn't know much about the cultivation world, but he had heard of the name of the Red Lotus Sect.
Because this sect is different from other forces.
Although there are many murderous beings in other Demon Dao sects, they are mainly aimed at cultivators.
The Red Lotus Sect is different.
Since the founding of the religion, he has never given up developing his power among mortals, and whenever he encounters natural and man-made disasters, he even instigates people to rise up and kill officials and rebel, which often implicates many counties and counties, causing misery!
Therefore, the reputation of this sect is very bad, and it has been besieged and killed by the righteous sect many times.
But every time you can escape the fish that slips through the net, and then you will lurk for years afterwards, and eventually you will still resurrect, accumulate strength in the dark, and continue to cause chaos!
Cao Xiu didn't expect that it would be the people of the Red Lotus Sect who were eyeing his own business.
Of course, it must have been the ordinary sect members below who made their own decisions, and it was definitely not the work of a powerhouse of the Holy Envoy's level.
After all, such a strong person still can't look down on their family's industry.
"Alright, that's the end of it!"
Wang said: "If those people come to disturb again, if it really can't be done, just give the shop to them, otherwise even if your uncle comes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to compete with the other party, and I will cause trouble for the family for no reason!" ”
Cao Xiu nodded.
With his current net worth, he really doesn't care much about the interests of a mere shop.
Not to mention, just those spirit stones and resources sent by the Cao family, if they are saved, they are enough for their family to cultivate for several years.
Of course, this refers to the situation where the realm is low and there are no major expenses yet.
Otherwise, if he was allowed to use spirit stones to transform the water of life, it would not even be a drop in the bucket.
"By the way, mother, I also took a treasure lamp from them while I was in chaos!"
While speaking, Cao Xiu took out the lotus lantern with his backhand and handed it to his mother, just about to ask her if she knew what kind of treasure this was, but when she looked up, she saw that her mother was stunned, her face was full of horror!
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"You ......"
Wang only felt his mind dizzy and his heart pounding.
She didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, put this thing away!" ”
"Huh?"
Cao Xiu was a little stunned.
However, he was still very obedient and put the lotus lantern into the treasure map cave.
Wang covered his chest with both hands and forced himself to calm down, only then did he look at his son helplessly: "You are so bold, even the Holy Fire of the Red Lotus Sect dares to steal." ”
"Red Lotus Holy Flame?"
Cao Xiu's heart also jumped when he heard this: "Isn't that thing in their main altar, how can you let that holy envoy take it with you?" ”
"This is just a little spark separated from the Red Lotus Sacred Flame, and of course it is not the Holy Flame of the General Altar.
But even so, it has a great significance for them, and they will definitely search all over the city in the future, and they will not stop until they find it! ”
Wang said nervously: "Xiu'er, unless you are sure that you will make this Dong XZ tight, otherwise you should quickly throw it away, otherwise if you are approached by the Red Lotus Sect, it will definitely be a disaster!" ”
