Chapter 326: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
Outside the city, the snow is fluttering.
After some inquiry, Ye Tong rushed here in half a day, looking at the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Snow Clan outside the city gate, who were checking the pedestrians coming in and out, Ye Tong faintly guessed that something big should happen in Xuehan City, because there were many more officers and soldiers outside the city gate than when he arrived last time.
"Who are you, where are you from?" The goalkeeper blocked Ye Tong's way, and he could sense that the young man in front of him should not be low.
"I'm coming from Dreamland to visit a friend. Ye Tong said.
"From Dream City?" the gatekeeper looked moved and asked, "What are your origins?"
"Falan Sect!" Ye Tong took out his identity token and shook it in front of the gatekeeper.
Seeing the token of the Falan Sect, the gatekeeper showed a solemn look on his face, hugged his fists, and entered the city by Ye Tong without further questioning.
Although the Falan Sect is far away from here, the strength of the Falan Sect is well known, and every disciple of the Falan Sect almost has extraordinary cultivation, he is just a gatekeeper, so he naturally does not want to offend the people of the Falan Sect.
After Ye Tong entered the city, he found a snow wolf carriage and rode it in the direction of the palace.
wide streets.
Lan Sheng held a long sword in her hand, walking on thin ice at every step, her strength was very low, even if she had broken through to the innate realm, but she rarely fought with others, picking up her combat strength, even a cultivator of the innate realm could quickly take her life.
However, Lan Sheng doesn't care, even if it is death, she will use herself as bait to lure out the enemies hidden behind the scenes, she has already made up her mind, if the enemy is not willing to do anything to her in the city, she will leave the city.
"Stop......" In the frame of a snow wolf, there was a shout, and the next moment, Ye Tong flashed out from inside, and when his eyes fell on the familiar figure walking slowly in front of him, he quickly greeted him.
"Lan Shang!"
Ye Tong looked at her expression, his brows suddenly furrowed, looking at her face, he found that Lan Sheng must have had great compassion in the near future, and there was also a bloody disaster.
Lan Shang's steps suddenly stopped, she looked at Ye Tong who was walking towards her, a little surprised look appeared on her face, and asked, "Why are you ...... Coming back?"
"Everything that needs to be done has been done, so on the way back, I passed by here and came to see you, what happened? Ye Tong said.
"My child is dead!" Lan Shang had a pained look on her face.
"Child, dead?"
Ye Tong didn't have to think much about it at all, and instantly guessed that it should be done by those who wanted to kill Lan Shang, but he didn't expect that the other party had so much hatred with Lan Sheng that he didn't even let go of a baby child?
Suddenly, the sword light burst out at this moment.
A ghostly figure suddenly burst out from the pavilions on both sides, a total of sixteen people, each wearing white clothes, the first four people to rush out, all of them were cultivators in the foundation building period, and one of them was a strong person in the middle stage of foundation building, and their target was Lan Shang in front of Ye Tong.
"Get out of here!"
Ye Tong's face changed, and he instantly took out the long knife from the space bag, the long knife waved, and the layers of knife shadows slashed out in all directions, Ye Tong had to resist the attacks of the four foundation building period powerhouses with the strength of one person, and only by blocking it could he protect the Lan Shang in front of him.
However, except for the powerhouse in the middle stage of foundation building, the sword light in his hand and the sword shadow fought together, and the other three powerhouses in the early stage of foundation building, before they could pounce in front of them, suddenly shot out chains from both sides of the street, and when they wrapped around their legs, they pulled down towards the ground.
"Since you're here, don't go. ”
A gloomy and sympathetic voice came erratically, and a vague figure appeared out of thin air next to a master in the early stage of foundation building, and the lightning-like punch directly hit the opponent's temple, knocking the opponent unconscious with just one blow.
Ye Tong fought with the strong man in the middle stage of foundation building, and as the opponent's figure retreated, he didn't chase after him, and when his feet landed beside Lan Shang, he looked at the emaciated middle-aged man who spoke.
The other party is very strong, at least a strong person in the late stage of foundation building, and he will also have a special concealment method, and the danger factor is higher than that of ordinary strong people in the late stage of foundation building.
However, this man is not an enemy, he is protecting Lan Shang.
Ye Tong looked away and looked towards the others, and found that the number of people who appeared later was more than thirty people, and the weakest of these people were all in the Innate Ninefold Realm, not counting the emaciated middle-aged, there were eight other strong people in the foundation building period.
"They should have been sent by the Emperor of the Snow Clan to secretly protect Lan Shang, or Lan Shang appeared here as a bait to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. Ye Tong understood this, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he came too coincidentally to get involved in this fight.
Suddenly, Ye Tong's expression moved, his mind observed the book of life and death, and he found a royal name in the book of life and death: Lan Wei.
"Prince Lan Wei, in the attic along the street eighty or ninety meters away?"
"He is Lan Shang's brother, and Lan Sheng was attacked again, but he did not show up to save him, but just hid in the dark and watched coldly, what does this mean? It means that he is very likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"No wonder, at the beginning, so many Snow Clan powerhouses chased and killed himself and Senior Sister Qiumo, it seems that he is the only one who can quietly mobilize so many powerhouses, right?"
Ye Tong reasoned layer by layer, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right, but he couldn't figure it out, it was obviously a brother-sister relationship, and there was no conflict of interests, why did Lan Wei kill his sister Lan Sheng with all his heart?
An attack appeared abruptly, and it ended quickly, except for the strong man in the middle of the foundation building who fled, the other fifteen killers were killed twelve people, and three were knocked out and captured.
Along the street in the attic.
Lan Wei glanced at Ye Tong resentfully, his body retracted, he could see clearly, just now his subordinates raided, if it weren't for Ye Tong's brazen attack, that subordinate in the middle stage of foundation building would definitely be able to kill Lan Shang, he was ready to sacrifice these subordinates, although his heart was dripping blood, as long as he could kill Lan Shang, his goal would be achieved.
But it turned out that the bastard boy of the Falan Sect actually ruined his good deeds again.
"Let's go!" Lan Wei suppressed his anger and turned to walk out the door.
A moment later, Ye Tong and the emaciated middle-aged man rushed into the room from the window, and when the two of them appeared outside the door in an instant, Ye Tong pointed to the back that had not disappeared at the staircase, and said lightly: "Can you see who he is?"
"yes, I see. There was a cold light in the eyes of the emaciated middle-aged man, he not only recognized who the person was, but also smelled the smell left by the other party, with his sensitivity to the smell, mutual verification, absolutely could not be wrong.
"Aren't you going to catch up?" Ye Tong asked.
"No!"
The emaciated middle-aged man replied casually, and quickly returned to Lan Shang, his eyes were a little complicated, and he even had sympathy in his heart, he knew that the fourth princess trusted her brother very much, if the fourth princess knew who was the person who wanted to kill her, how much pain would it be?
"Fourth princess, go back! Your Majesty will give you an explanation. ”
"Hmm!" Lan Sheng nodded silently, now that these killers still have three living mouths, she believes that she will be able to force them to find out who is behind the scenes.
"Princess Lanshang. ”
Ye Tong appeared in front of Lan Sheng and said: "I came this time, first, to visit you, and secondly, to remind you, be careful of the people close to you, now it seems that there is no need for me to say it again, when you return to the palace, I am afraid that you will be able to know who the real murderer is, and I will leave after the matter has been told." ”
"Do you know who the real murderer is?" Lan Shang's pupils contracted, and he grabbed Ye Tong's arm.
"I didn't know it at first, I could only guess that it was someone close to you, but after today's events, not only I already know, but even this fellow Daoist already knows, go back with him! Ye Tong turned around and prepared to leave this place.
Ye Daoyou waited. The emaciated middle-aged man asked thoughtfully, "How did you guess that it was someone close to the fourth princess?"
"Because after my senior sister and I left Drifting Snow City last time, we were chased and killed by your Snow Clan powerhouses, and I almost died at the hands of those Snow Clan powerhouses. Ye Tong walked towards the city gate and waved his hand with his back to them.
"Fourth princess, let's go!" The gaze in the emaciated middle-aged eyes was even more complicated, but this emotion was quickly put away by him.
Ye Tong left Snow Cold City and did not directly manipulate the Moon Disc to hurry, he wanted to hunt some fierce beasts to earn wealth, so he traveled all the way alone, killing the fierce beasts he encountered on the way all the way, firstly, to earn some Yuan Jing, and secondly, Ye Tong was also deliberately honing his cultivation.
Now that Ye Tong's cultivation has broken through to the foundation building period, as far as the Dongmu Continent is concerned, his strength can be regarded as above average, even if a sixth-level fierce beast appears, he can barely fight with it, although he can't kill it, he can escape alive.
Nine days later, Ye Tong was scarred and hid in an ice cave, he encountered a sixth-level bird-like beast, and the sixth-level bird-like beast was extremely cunning, constantly relying on its speed, fighting with Ye Tong again and again, and flying away again and again when it was injured, so that Ye Tong injured it, but could not kill it.
In the end, Ye Tong was forced to use the two killer tricks of the Book of Life and Death and the Star Shuttle, and only then did he severely damage the sixth-level fierce beast of the bird type, so that he no longer dared to chase after him.
In the ice cave, Ye Tong felt a little regretful in his heart, why didn't he buy some healing pills in Xuehan City, his healing pills had already been taken, so if he wanted to recover from his injuries quickly, I am afraid it was impossible.
"Controlling the Moon Disc requires energy, and there is no way to concentrate on healing, since it is safe here for the time being, let's stay here to heal! ”
The speed of healing is indeed very slow.
It took Ye Tong five days to recover from his injuries, and Ye Tong decided to stop healing and silently took out the fragments of "Xingyuan Jue".
This place is very rare, and the murderers around him were killed by Ye Tong, which is suitable for retreat and cultivation, Ye Tong decided to study the fragments of the "Xingyuan Jue" thoroughly in this place, if it is suitable for cultivation, he will stay here to practice, if not, leave here again, and find other ways to buy cultivation exercises that suit him.
