Chapter 13: Killing on a Rainy Night
Ling Zhu frowned, he was really disgusted with this Ye Weiyi in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to refuse directly, while Qingling hurriedly said: "Thanks to Ye Gongzi's love, our brothers will definitely serve you wholeheartedly." β
Ling Zhu looked at Qingling in surprise, usually Qingling would not take the initiative to express her opinions in public, it has always been dominated by Ling Zhu, Ling Zhu also regarded Qingling as a little brother, at this time Ye Weiyi did not talk, just looked at Ling Zhu with a smile, and there was an inquiry in his eyes.
When Ling Zhu saw Qingling say this, he just said in passing: "Since Ye Gongzi has been invited many times, Ling Zhu will serve the Ye family in the future, but let's say it first, I won't do those things that hurt the heavens and reason." β
"Hahahaha!" Ye Weiyi laughed, "Don't worry, you won't have a chance to do that kind of thing! Since you two are willing to submit to me, then go with me." β
Ling Zhu was surprised: "Where are Ye Gongzi going? I was ordered by my master to come to Daxing City to participate in the Genius Competition, how can I leave without this matter being completed?" Ye Weiyi chuckled twice and said, "There is no need for you to participate in this Genius Competition, I believe that the City Lord will arrange everything, right?" After saying that, he stared at the Daxing City Lord, who hurriedly said: " Ling Zhu, there is no one who can compare with you in this genius competition, you don't have to compare, Ye Gongzi still has important things to do, you can leave with him. β
Ling Zhu was speechless, this time he originally wanted to go down the mountain to participate in the genius war, to see how strong the people who competed with him among the peers in the world were, but now he seems to have won the first place without comparison, and he doesn't know whether this natural cultivation wizard is good or bad, but the situation is stronger than people, and at the moment, even the Daxing City Lord seems to be the only one who is looking forward to it, and since he promised to follow the other party, of course Ling Zhu will not speak.
So Ling Zhu Qingling and the others followed Ye Weiyi and his party out of this Daxing City, and the city lord personally sent him out of the city for ten miles, giving face to the heir of the Ye family, this is the status and influence of the Ye family in the Divine Creation Continent, if you offend this Ye Weiyi, with the identity of the lord of a small city like the city lord of Daxing, it is only a fate that can be destroyed casually.
On the way, Ling Zhu asked Ye Weiyi: "Ye Gongzi, where are we going?" Ye Weiyi replied: "This time I took people out of the city to the south because there is an important thing to do, and after I do it, I can go back to Demon Heart City, this time the destination is a place called Fengyong City in the south of the mainland, have you ever heard of it?"
"Fengyong City, I naturally haven't heard of it, it should be a huge city. Ling Zhu said, and Qing Ling's pupils on the side constricted unconsciously when she heard the three words Feng Yongcheng, and then immediately lowered her head.
"Haha, is it big? It's the first time I've heard someone use this word to describe Fengyong City, but it's still quite big, but that's not the key, the most important thing of this trip is to go to a respected old man in Fengyong City to pay homage to his birthday, as long as he pleases the old man, this mission will be successfully completed. Ye Weiyi smiled easily, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Ling Zhu was surprised, there was actually a character on this continent who made the heir of the Ye family of Demon Heart City go thousands of miles away just to celebrate his birthday, it seems that he used to really sit in a well and watch the sky, this continent is really very big, there are many incredible things, at this moment Ling Zhu is a little glad that he ran away with this Ye Weiyi, it seems that only in this way can he see the wider world.
The group drove for two days, passing through a rolling low mountain, Ling Zhu stopped, and asked Ye Weiyi: "Ye Gongzi, please let me go back to the sect, I will go to the old man's house to say goodbye, I don't know how long it will take to come back to meet his old man." Is that okay?"
Ye Weiyi nodded and said: "That's right, you two should go back first, this place should be not far from your sect, let's slow down and wait for you on the road ahead." β
It turned out that everyone had already come to the foot of Oolong Mountain, where the former temple appeared, and the route to Fengyong City was just about to pass through here, and Ling Zhu saw Jing Siren, so he asked Ye Weiyi like this. Ye Weiyi and his party continued to rush forward, in fact, they were all good at flying in the sky, but for some reason, they all rode horses, Ling Zhu didn't bother, and he and Qingling rode away in the direction of the Shadow Fire Gate.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the Oolong Mountain, and Ling Zhu asked Qingling while riding the horse, "Qingling, why did you agree to follow this Ye Weiyi to serve him?"
"Senior brother, although this Ye Weiyi is a little overbearing, his nature is not bad, and the Ye family's background is also worthy of our service, in fact, it is our luck that people can look at us, hehe, the most important thing is that with this kind of person's temperament, will he leave what he can't get? I am also thinking about our safety. β
Ling Zhu nodded secretly when he heard this, although he was regarded as a peerless cultivator by everyone, but now he was just a monk in the middle stage of the Manifestation Realm, he did not have his own supernatural powers, and his force value was very limited, this Ye Weiyi fancied his future potential, but if he refused again and again, maybe this Ye Weiyi would riot and kill people.
"Actually, this Ye Weiyi is also quite open-minded, and he will not suffer if he follows him. Qingling said with a smile, Ling Zhu felt the same way, and the two of them proposed to go back to the mountain gate to visit, Ye Weiyi immediately agreed without even asking where the mountain gate was, showing full trust in Ling Zhu and the two, and more self-confidence in himself.
After a long time, it was already dark, and suddenly it rained, and the rain gradually became heavier, and the two of them had no place to shelter from the rain, so they simply ignored the rain and galloped all the way, and it was difficult for ordinary people to travel in the dark, but for cultivators, it was not much different from the day.
At this time, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, accompanied by dazzling lightning, and the Oolong Mountain was already covered by a violent storm, Ling Zhu and the others were fine, but the red horse under him was very afraid of the power of thunder and lightning from the sky, and he was unwilling to continue running, Ling Zhu had no choice but to get off the horse and find a big canopy to rest underneath.
The two of them made a fire, dried the clothes on their bodies, and found a pile of dry food from the package, sat next to the fire and ate it, at this time, Qingling's eyes suddenly felt a tingling sensation, only to see that the bonfire in front of him suddenly became dim, and a black shadow covered the firelight, and then out of nowhere, a bright light flashed, and went straight to Ling Zhu Tianlinggai!
"Senior brother be careful!" Qing Ling was about to come to the rescue, but Ling Zhu sneered and swung his palm at the sword light, and the sword light was instantly forced back with the force of his palm, and then the two of them rolled out at the same time with a tacit understanding, leaving the position under the canopy, only to see that there were five black-clothed masked people standing around the canopy at this time, four standing in four corners, each holding a long knife, and one in the middle with his hands around him, wearing a big rain hat, standing there motionless, as if he had melted into this rainy night.
"Killer?" Ling Zhu laughed, he had no fear at this time with the belligerent factor in his bones, he only felt that he could finally break away from the protection of the sect and have a good trial, but he didn't expect that the consequence of failing the trial would be death.
Qingling vigilantly pulled out a long sword and held it in front of his chest, Ling Zhu glanced at him, and said softly: "You hide behind me for a while, if I am not defeated, you must not die with me, immediately run in the direction of Ye Weiyi, remember!" It turns out that Qingling's realm is very low, it is not as good as Ling Zhu, Ling Zhu doesn't want him to follow him in vain, and it is also the right choice to ask him to go to Ye Weiyi, this is still not close to the Shadow Fire Gate, but it is relatively close to Ye Weiyi and his party, and the name of Demon Heart City is much louder than the Shadow Fire Gate.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said to the five black-clothed people: "Who are you sending out? Have you heard of the Ye family in Demon Heart City? I won't hide it from you, the two of us just swore to follow the eldest son of the Ye family, do you still want to make a move on us?" Qing Ling sighed, this senior brother is a little clever by chance, but he doesn't know much about killers. They have been trained to be killing machines since they were children, they have no thoughts and feelings of ordinary people, they only have to complete the task in their eyes, and they don't even put death in their eyes, where do you care what kind of person you are from Demon Heart City, this kind of person is an outlier on the mainland, and there is no resounding name of any force that can scare them away, as long as there are enough exchange chips, even if they go to Longdu to take the head of the current Emperor of the Great Treasure, they dare to try.
The four black-clothed people moved, the long knife in their hands turned into a phantom in this black rain and shrouded Ling Zhu and Qingling, Ling Zhu shouted, both palms came out, and the hundred palms greeted the four long knife phantoms with the aura that spewed out, and the knife shadow touched Ling Zhu's palm and was beaten back to its original shape, revealing the true bodies of the four black-clothed people, only to see two of them roll to the ground, come to the side of Qing Ling, and each swing their knives to slash away, Qing Ling held a sword to resist the attack of a long knife, but was unexpectedly hit in the shoulder by another knife in the shoulder, and suddenly screamed, the blood from the knife in the shoulder spilled out, mixed with the rain, and the rain on the ground turned redγ
"Qingling!ah!!" Ling Zhu roared, shook back the two black-clothed people who were entwining him, jumped forward, and blocked in front of Qingling, his cold voice seemed to soak into the bones of the black-clothed killer: "Hurt Qingling, you are doomed!"
