Chapter Ninety-Three: The Shadow
Before dinner, the alarm suddenly sounded loudly in the Lingyan Gate, and the sound of running and reporting continued, and the sound of gongs and drums was endless.
"What! all the disciples guarding the door have been killed?" the Wei Sect Master was shocked when he heard this.
It's impossible, hasn't the enemy's vanguard been wiped out? The main force of the Haoyue Alliance is still far from here, and Immortal Master Sun has already rushed over, no matter what, it is impossible to kill it so quickly. Could it be...
Yes, it must be the lurking star leader, who somehow made trouble before the Haoyue Alliance came. Why did he do it now? What can he do on his own if no one answers, it is impossible to think that he can destroy our Lingyan Gate alone, right? Unless he is also an immortal master.
No, only that is absolutely impossible, Immortal Master Sun has already explored before, and there is no second Immortal Master in the entire Niucheng. And that Xingkui really has this ability, so why wait until now, he will never be able to do anything to us alone.
Could it be because he thinks that the Haoyue League is coming to an end and wants to avenge the Haoyue League? Wouldn't that be a death? Knowing that if we can't succeed, we will also cause some losses, which can be regarded as repaying Xi Xingchen?
Maybe there is such a madman, and it is impossible for ordinary people to endure the undercover life of not contacting them for several years. Either way, it is time to find him out of the way to prevent the destruction from spreading.
The master of the Wei Sect had already made up his mind and immediately ordered the deployment of defense. According to the report of his subordinates, the body of only one of the disciples who guarded the door was not found, so it seems that it was him.
It's a pity that Xingkui is usually too low-key, and there are not many disciples who know him at all, and most of them died at the door. The Lord of Wei had no choice but to let each hall guard the main hall, forbidding anyone to enter and leave tonight, and letting all his family members and children gather in one place. As long as you survive tonight, even if you can't catch him, you will be fine when the immortal master comes back.
Wei Pengzhi, the son of the Wei Sect Lord, led people to hunt down Na Xingkui in the gate, Wei Hexiao and Wei Fengjue gathered together with their families and daughters, while the Wei Sect Lord himself commanded in the center of the Lingyanmen Palace.
Sure enough, when that Xingkui saw that he didn't know what to do, he only picked the patrol disciples of the squad to attack, but the patrolling disciples were already good at martial arts, and their vigilance was relatively high, and they were basically not taken advantage of by that Xingkui because of the large number of people.
But why did that man run around and only attack some ordinary disciples everywhere? Shouldn't he come at himself to avenge Xi Xingchen? Let's think carefully about the route of his activities tonight.
"Not good!" The Wei Sect Lord seemed to think of something, and immediately led his men out of the main hall.
A group of people are gathering in one of the largest courtyards in Lingyan Gate, which is the residence of the Lord of Wei and his wife, because the Lord of Wei has no concubines, and this huge courtyard usually seems empty.
It was dark outside, but the courtyard was brightly lit, and now the women and children in the door gathered here for refuge, and there were more than a dozen guards inside and outside the door who were closely guarded, and Wei Hexiao and Wei Fengjue were also among them.
If Xiao Tian was here, Wei Fengjue would have pestered him to fight the enemy together, but now he is very well-behaved and has not done anything reckless.
Wei Hexiao helped her mother to appease everyone, here, she and her mother are the highest in martial arts, and they also have to be responsible for part of the security work.
The two guards standing in the doorway suddenly collapsed, without warning.
The nearby guards were all taken aback, and immediately took their weapons in front of them. But there was no movement for half a day, and there was no follow-up attack, as if nothing had happened at all.
Some boldly went over and looked, and the two guards had been dead for a long time, not when they had just fallen.
Everyone was shocked, doesn't this mean that the enemy has already mixed in?
Everyone couldn't help but look around, trying to find the enemy, but found nothing.
Another guard fell, the one guarding the hall in the courtyard.
There is still no shadow of the enemy.
A light went out suddenly. Another lamp, another lamp, and soon the yard was pitch black.
The courtyard was turned upside down, and the crying and shouting rang out, and most of the people in the courtyard were women and children, and when they saw the three people dying so silently, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't stop crying.
Finally, a shadow appeared!
The shadow rushed straight towards the leading guard disciple, and the disciple was looking away at this time!
The fourth man fell, but this time the shadow did not hide again, but began to run quickly towards each of the guards. Under the cover of night, no one could fully see this ghostly figure, and could only slash a few times into the void.
The fifth fell, the sixth, the seventh...
The guards could no longer hold on, and the last two men escaped from the courtyard, but they both fell within a few steps.
The shadow disappeared again.
Mrs. Wei and Wei Hexiao couldn't see the enemy's moves, this person was as fast as lightning, he only used one move to kill, and he never stayed in the same position, and the two of them couldn't even see his killing methods.
It's too bad that the guards have all been sacrificed, and only the women and children are left, and they can't escape if they want to, and they don't even know where the enemy is. No one went to report the news, and I don't know how long it would take for someone to find out what was wrong here, and it was impossible to expect reinforcements.
"Ahhh
"Who is Your Excellency, don't you feel ashamed to attack us women and children?" and Mrs. Wei stood up and shouted.
She didn't expect an answer or stop there, she just wanted to draw the enemy's attack to herself.
I wish I could delay a little longer, so that fewer people would die.
Without saying a word, the shadow struck Madame Wei.
But he pounced.
"Huh?" the shadow himself is strange. He immediately ducked into the shadows and found that someone had rescued Mrs. Wei.
There is such a master here who can save people from his own attack, but why didn't this person make a move just now?
Want to try again?
Hmph, it's a fool to take that risk.
On the other side of the courtyard, another scream sounded, and the black shadow stopped aiming at Madame Wei and began to attack the others again.
This man is so vicious that he can do it to women and children, and he is so cunning that he will never risk attacking the same person twice.
The women and children in the courtyard had no choice but to hug each other and cry, and the courtyard echoed with bursts of cries and incessant screams, and a smell of urine permeated.
Wei Hexiao tried several attempts to capture the enemy, but all failed, and the enemy no longer approached her and Mrs. Wei, and I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky.
Mrs. Wei tried again to attract the enemy, but the enemy ignored her.
There's another guy here who wants to try something but hasn't been able to figure out a good solution.
