Iron Sword Mountain.

It is located 100 miles south of the capital.

Because the mountain peak is steep and precipitous, it is named after its sword-like shape.

Originally, it was just an uninhabited barren mountain, but after the Iron Buddha Spirit Merchant Group settled in, it gradually became famous in the Qi refining circle.

According to the news given by Wan Shenglou, there are a total of eighteen people in the Iron Buddha of the Spirit Merchant Group, of which the head of the Iron Buddha is the Divine Buddha Refiner, and the seventeen Spirit Refining Qi Scholars under his command are all ruthless people, and their hands are stained with countless blood, and they are full of evil.

But on the contrary, although the Qi refining circle knows that this Iron Buddha is all scum, they have always been extremely cautious in doing things, airtight, and seamless.

There has been little evidence that some of the tragedies had anything to do with them.

So at least on the surface, they are still a fairly serious spirit mercenary group.

On this day, in the middle of the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was the night of murder and arson.

On the Iron Sword Mountain, the Iron Sword Cave Heaven.

——As the residence of the alchemist, it is naturally impossible to dig a cave and live in it like ordinary mountain bandits.

The residence of the alchemists is generally referred to as the cave heaven.

It is a place of great blessing that has been arranged to gather Qi Spirit Array.

Among them, the concentration of Qi of Heaven and Earth is far beyond that of the outside world.

Of course, there are also advantages and disadvantages in this cave.

For example, the Tianyuan Cave Heaven of the Tianyuan Taoist Temple is said to be a huge mother array composed of 999 Juqi Zi Arrays, in which the Qi of Heaven and Earth has substance like flowing water, and practicing meditation in it is equivalent to having infinite inferior spirit baht all the time.

And the scale of the Iron Sword Cave Heaven in the Iron Sword Mountain, of course, is not that huge, at best, there are only a dozen Qi Gathering Spirit Arrays, but the concentration of Heaven and Earth Qi is also much deeper than the outside world.

——These are also the descriptions in the information given by Wan Shenglou.

In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high.

A pitch-black shadow quietly appeared at the gate of Tiejian Mountain, Dongtian.

In the silence of the night, you can faintly hear the sound of staggering and drunken noise.

Exhilaration.

And for this late-night uninvited guest, no one seems to notice it in the Iron Sword Cave.

The crystal lamps embedded in the walls of the cave emit a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daylight.

To put it bluntly, this Iron Sword Cave is also a cave, but it is quite large, and it seems to have hollowed out the entire Iron Sword Mountainside.

The lobby is oval-shaped, with a huge stone table in the middle, surrounded by about 20 stone chairs.

On the north and south walls of the stone table, there are more than a dozen doors, leading to the meditation resting quarters, the stove room, the thatched hut and the treasure house.

To the east of the stone table, it is the gate of the cave, and you can reach the top of the mountain by crossing a long road.

To the west of the final stone table, there are more than ten staircases, leading to a cold stone throne.

The layout is simple and the furnishings are magnificent.

And at this moment, on the big stone table in the center, more than a dozen figures are sitting around the table, and all kinds of such spiritual delicacies and several jars of precious spiritual wine are placed on the table.

A figure dressed in silver robes is toasting and celebrating!

Looking at one of the tall men in his thirties, he laughed, "Brothers, I just got the news today that those two ghosts have been executed for a long time, and we can't find out about this matter anymore!" ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and a scar-faced Taoist sighed: "I don't know who is the employer behind this time?" These two substitute ghosts are obviously alchemists, and Zhan Tiansi should intervene, but in the end, it seems that the criminal department has sentenced them. ”

"It must be the master of officialdom, and the officials protect each other to do such a thing!" A feminine-looking man guessed.

Talk.

All of a sudden.

"Ahem—"

A soft cough interrupted their discussion.

For a while, the entire cave was silent.

Everyone looked up at the throne on the steps.

I only saw a middle-aged Taoist man in his thirties sitting there, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, extraordinary temperament, wearing silver-white robes, and his whole body was full of spiritual light, compared with the elated alchemists, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"Don't guess the identity of the boss."

"Don't play too late, after this turmoil, you'll have to hand over your things to your employer tomorrow."

He spoke, but said in a flat tone.

In an instant, the discussion about the identity of the employer came to an abrupt end.

Everyone was embarrassed to raise their glasses, and after a good drink, they didn't talk about it at all.

At this moment, a young man on the table, who was also wearing a silver-white robe, stood up, holding a cup in his hand, and saluted the middle-aged Taoist on the throne, "Head of the group, over the years, thanks to your care, I will do it first. ”

Then drink the contents of the cup.

The middle-aged Taoist looked at her and said, "Chu He, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, everyone is a family, you don't have to hide it." ”

The man known as Chu He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply: "Leader, I'...... I want to quit. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire cave sky was instantly quiet.

This simple sentence, as if he had violated some taboo, raised a pair of eyes and looked at him.

Chu He seemed to have made up his mind, "Leader, such a day of licking blood from a knife is never a solution...... Like last time, it was killed on the head of King Rende's disciple...... If it weren't for the King of Rende going overseas, I'm afraid this matter would not have been suppressed at all, and what kind of framing is just a child's trick, as long as the court wants to investigate, it will definitely be able to find out about us! ”

There was a look of horror on his face, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Group leader, let's wash our hands together, right?" Anyway, now that the resources and wealth have accumulated so much, let's do some work that can see the light, although the pay is less, but at least ...... It's safe! ”

The voice fell, and there was silence.

Deathly silence.

Everyone raised their heads tremblingly, and secretly looked at the reaction of the middle-aged Taoist on the throne.

Seeing that he shook his head and looked at Chu He: "Iron Buddha, it will never change." ”

Chu He's expression darkened.

Listen to the middle-aged Taoist continue: "But you and my brother are close relatives, if you want to quit, I won't stop you—Chu He, are you sure you want to leave the Iron Buddha?" ”

Chu He raised his head and looked firm: "I'm sorry, head of the group!" ”

"Okay." The middle-aged Taoist nodded, "You can go." ”

Chu He swallowed his saliva, packed his bags, and turned around and left as if he was afraid that the person on the throne would regret it.

But at the moment when he turned around, the middle-aged Taoist suddenly stretched out his hand.

A flash of purple light flashed.

Shout!

Behind Chu He, a blood hole the size of a human head exploded, and the front and back were transparent!

He was shocked, turned his head in a daze, looked at the middle-aged Taoist on the throne in horror and dazedness, and muttered as if he wanted to say something.

But only countless blood bubbles gushed out, and finally fell to the ground with a thud!

There was no sound.

For a while, the cave sky was silent.

The rest of the dozen or so alchemists still had the flesh and blood of the Chu He on their bodies, but they didn't tell them to rub it.

Just look at the middle-aged Taoist on the throne waved his hand, as if he had just done a trivial thing and explained it casually.

"When he quit the Iron Buddha, he was not a family member."

- If it's not a family member, your life will be like a mustard, and you can kill it at will.

"Who else wants to wash their hands in a golden basin?"

The middle-aged Taoist asked.

No one spoke, everyone trembled!

"I'm tired, you drink."

The middle-aged Taoist waved his hand expressionlessly and returned to his residence.

It took a long time for the rest of the people to suppress the horror in their hearts and raise their wine glasses.

But those hands are trembling!

Only the bearded man who was the deputy regiment put away the smile on his face and looked at everyone very seriously: "Brothers, learn from the past, don't think like this. ”

The rest of the people nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Only one seemed to be a new alchemist, and he asked timidly, "The head of the group...... Has it always been like this? ”

The beard glanced at him: "Li Xiao, you are in this business because you want to make money, right?" For money, killing people and setting fires, you can do it. ”

The new alchemist nodded.

The beard lowered his voice, "But the head of the group is not, with his Taoism in the Divine Xue Realm, he can live better than he does if he goes to a larger Taoist temple, and there is only one reason why he does this, that is...... Slaughter.

Only this job can support his unscrupulous killing.

He loved the feeling that his life was ending in his hands – just like picking a flower, the flower doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you do when you pick it, it's the moment you pluck it off the branch that counts. ”

When the words fell, the crowd was even more silent.

It's still the scarred face, and he made a round: "Ahem, it's not early, everyone is resting, and I have to send things to my employer tomorrow!" ”

Saying this, the rest of the alchemists all nodded, drank the last glass of wine in the cup, and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

But all of a sudden, a bell rang.

Jingle Bell –

It seems to be incomparably far away, but it is also like being in the ear.

Everyone was stunned at the same time.

When I came back to my senses, I immediately became extremely vigilant!

"Who?!"

The bearded man shouted angrily, and the Qi of heaven and earth exploded all over his body, and a huge wrestler spirit appeared behind him, majestic and majestic!

"How dare you trespass......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a bright red line of blood appear on the necks of the other fifteen people.

The cheek-cheeked man's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Deputy regiment...... What's wrong? The scar-faced Taoist asked subconsciously.

And then.

Bang!

His head, flat down his neck, smashed on the cold, hard stone floor.

Crash!

The bright red blood column just sprayed out, like a note, raised a foot high, and fell down with a bang!

Dye the entire lobby in a scarlet patch.

Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, one by one, the heads fell to the ground with a bang, and pillars of bright red blood gushed out from their necks!

It's like a brilliant red fountain.

In a blink of an eye!

In addition to the Dao man, fifteen Spirit Realm refiners fell to the ground!

Fifteen heads gurgled on the ground, eyes staring at the cheeked man in horror and despair.

At that moment, a terrifying chill instantly enveloped every inch of his beard's body!

The irrepressible fear is like the tide rushing in!

Fang Cai's momentum has long since disappeared, trembling all over, and the two are trembling!

Then, a gentle coolness, as if the fingertips of a lover were gently caressing his throat.

A shadow of death hovers over my heart!

"No...... I don't want to die......"

The last desire to survive made the cheek Taoist murmur.

Then he heard a voice.

"-There are dozens of members of the Zhu family, and I don't want to."
