Chapter 206: Killing the Kindred
() "Poof", "Ding", "Bang"!
Three crisp chimes broke the silence in Ximen Garden.
For the sneak attack from behind, the vigilant Ximen Pavilion cleanly drew his knife out of the sheath and turned around to block, but the two magic knives were not of the same grade, and the high-grade magic knife of Ximen Pavilion was cut off by the waist.
Fortunately, Ximen Ting was unharmed, and at the moment when the knife failed, he jumped backwards. It's not so much a quick response as a precautionary measure. The blade that can cut off the top-grade magic knife so easily must be the Zhenyue Demon Knife of Ximen Luo.
Ximen Ting looked coldly at the gloomy face behind the yellow sword light three feet away in front of him, and said angrily: "Hmph, you Ximen Luo, for the sake of a mere blue yuan stone, you actually did not hesitate to murder your fellow clan!"
"How much does Lan Yuanshi value to me, how do you know?
Of course, Ximen Pavilion will not believe Ximenluo's nonsense, and he will definitely die if he hands over Lan Yuanshi. He quickly contemplated a plan to escape. After Ximen fell, he didn't see Fan Xiaoyun's figure, and I don't know if she had been poisoned.
Of course, Ximen Luo would not give Ximen Pavilion too much time to think, and shouted in a low voice: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" and then swung his knife and attacked. Ximen Pavilion's blade was broken, so he had to move around the small room to dodge. The way out has been blocked by Ximenluo, and he can't compare to Ximenluo in terms of strength, not to mention that Ximenluo still has the famous Zhenyue knife in his hand. Gradually, Ximen Pavilion was forced to the corner of the wall, and there were many knife wounds on his body, and there was only one way to die if he continued like this.
In a hurry, Ximen Pavilion grabbed the Lan Yuan Stone and shouted: "Stop! If you attack again, I will destroy this Lan Yuan Stone!"
Simon was stunned for a moment, and then laughed lowly, the voice was sandy and hoarse, as dry as dry grass: "Are you scared stupid, you are ruined and try it!"
Ximen Ting's heart tightened, indeed, the use of the blue yuan stone is only known to the demon lord in the whole world, the material of the blue yuan stone is as hard as the red stone, it is not easy to destroy it! But at this time, he must not be convinced, he said: "It is true that ordinary knives and axes cannot be destroyed, but how do you know that the peerless magic knife cannot destroy it? If you attack again, I will use the blue yuan stone to resist, and then it will be torn apart, and you will regret it too late!"
Ximen Luo really hesitated after hearing this, the peerless magic knife split the blue yuan stone, this kind of thing has never been done before. Both are rare treasures, and who wants to let them two go head-to-head?
Seeing that Ximen Luo frowned and was silent, Ximen Ting already had a rough idea in his heart, and persuaded him: "Ximen Luo, as long as you sincerely let me live, Lan Yuanshi's matter is easy to say." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Anyway, my magic knife has been broken, and I can't escape from the palm of your hand at all, it's better to take me back to Sealand City, and I will give you the blue yuan stone after I get to a crowded place, and you will go and dedicate it to the demon lord, I promise not to say today's things in the future, how about it?"
Ximen Luo is an old and cunning fox, how can he not guess what Ximen Pavilion is thinking? He sneered: "After I get the Blue Yuan Stone, I will directly give it to the Demon Lord and enter the core, even if you spread today's events, I am not afraid." Do you think I'm so easy to deceive? When you get to Sealand City, where there are many masters, as long as you shout that you have the Blue Yuan Stone, someone will definitely come out to hinder it, and then I won't get it!"
Ximen Ting's mind was guessed, and he lost his mind for a while: "Then what do you want?"
"Snatch the blue yuan stone, and then kill you!" Ximen Luo inserted the Zhenyue magic knife back into the sheath on his back, and raised his fists to grab the blue yuan stone.
In terms of fists and feet, Ximen Pavilion is not sure that he can defeat Ximen Luo, and he does not dare to speak out, if he attracts other children of the Ximen family, Ximen Luo will definitely see one to kill one, and see two to kill a pair.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the two people who were fighting were anxious, one was worried that the matter would be revealed, and the other was worried about attracting other innocent people, so the fist and foot fight became more and more intense.
After all, Ximen Pavilion was slightly inferior in the realm, and he was injured by a knife, so he gradually fell behind. In a hurry, he suddenly heard the sound of tiles moving on his head, and when he looked up, he saw that the roof had been broken through a big hole, and Fan Xiaoyun was looking inward at the entrance of the hole. "It turns out that she is not dead yet!" Ximen Ting was overjoyed. Fan Xiaoyun threw down a long whip and rolled it around Ximen Ting's waist, and pulled it upward, and Ximen Pavilion jumped on the roof by taking advantage of the situation.
"Run!" Ximen Ting didn't care about untying the long whip, grabbed Fan Xiaoyun's arm and ran forward, and the moment he turned his head, he had already caught a glimpse of Ximen Luo jumping on the roof of the house.
"Phew!" a sudden sharp pain pierced Ximenting's chest, and he stopped, glancing in disbelief at the narrow tip of the knife emerging from his chest, and whimpered for his life.
Fan Xiaoyun suddenly withdrew the magic knife, and Ximen Ting's corpse fell on the tiles with a "bang".
Fan Xiaoyun, who was expressionless, wiped the blood on the knife with the hem of Ximen Ting's clothes, broke off his left hand, which was still clenched, and got the blue yuan stone.
The west gate in the back walked over the tiles, with a smug smile on his face, and Lan Yuanshi finally arrived.
It turned out that Fan Xiaoyun had formed a group and made an agreement when she was alone with Ximenluo, Fan Xiaoyun helped Ximenluo obtain the Blue Yuan Stone, and Ximenluo had to let her go after the matter was completed.
He killed people of the same clan, and he had no scruples about Fan Xiaoyun Ximenluo, but he didn't want to kill Fan Xiaoyun. First, there is no big family with the surname "Fan" in the subsidiary family of the Ximen family, so it can be seen that Fan Xiaoyun is either alone or affiliated with a small family, in short, he has no power background;
When she came to Ximenluo, she was not afraid that Fan Xiaoyun would tell her about today's events, because Ximen Pavilion died under Fan Xiaoyun's knife, if Ximen Luo relied on Fan Xiaoyun for this matter, and insisted that Lan Yuanshi was in her hands, she would have no way to justify, the Ximen family would never believe in the master of the hall and trust a foreigner. After dedicating the blue yuan stone to the demon lord, Ximen Luo can directly enter the core, and even if the truth is revealed, no one can do anything about him.
Fan Xiaoyun vigilantly threw Lan Yuanshi to Ximen Luo, turned around and quickly disappeared into the mist in the distance.
Ximen Luo stared at the Lan Yuanshi in front of him, his heart was excited, Tuoshi's palm trembled slightly, the treasure of Chaosi's dream was finally in his hands, he was finally able to successfully cultivate into a sword demon!
Thinking that he had to go back to Sealand City to supervise the Demon Treasure Conference, Ximen Luo simply didn't do anything, and he didn't stop: "Just push this matter on her now!" He jumped down from the roof, hurriedly arranged it, and then shouted loudly: "I am Ximen Luo, the head of the Zhenyue Department, a son of the Ximen family, come to the main gate compound to see me quickly!"
At this time, it was almost dawn, and most of the people in Ximen Yuan had just finished a night of meditation, and after hearing this, they did not dare to slack off, and quickly gathered in the compound.
And there was a man in the courtyard who stood with his hands in his hands, and his back to the people. He was dressed in a white robe and carried the Zhenyue Demon Knife, and it was really the Zhenyue Department Master Ximen Luo, so everyone bowed down and saluted.
Simon turned around and saw that there was a little blood splattered on his body and many tears in his clothes. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Simon Luo looked sad and said with a sad expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you the unfortunate news that just now, Ximen Pavilion has been killed by traitors. ”
Everyone was taken aback, and looking around the crowd, there was no Ximen Pavilion. Ximen Pavilion is the head of the branch, and it should come out to meet Ximen Luocai.
"Last night, I happened to hear Ximen Jue say that a few days ago, I found a blue yuan stone from a spy of the Nangong family, and that blue yuan stone was produced in Xipinghai from the Ximen family! So I rushed here in the starry night, but I didn't expect that Ximen Pavilion had been killed by Fan Xiaoyun!"
Everyone was in an uproar, Lan Yuanshi was born, the branch master was killed, and this Ximen Garden, which had always been very calm, actually gave birth to such a big incident!
"But...... The relationship between Senior Fan and Ximen Pavilion has always been very good, how could it be ......" someone couldn't believe it.
Ximen Luo had already thought of what he said, and he sighed: "Ximen Pavilion originally planned to hand over Lan Yuanshi to the patriarch after the Demon Treasure Conference, but Fan Xiaoyun took advantage of the conference to kill Ximen Pavilion. When I arrived, I happened to witness her murderous scene, and the blood of Ximen Pavilion splashed all over me, unfortunately, I could not avenge Ximen Pavilion and stabbed that vicious woman. ”
"Ministry Master, even you can't be against Fan Xiaoyun?As far as I know, she is only in the late stage of Annihilation, so she shouldn't be the opponent of the Ministry Master...... What about Lan Yuanshi, did she take it with her as well?" asked an older Ximen clansman.
"She really can't beat me, but she is too cunning, and has been using the Blue Yuan Stone to resist my Zhenyue Knife, I don't dare to use a heavy hand, for fear that the peerless magic knife will break the Blue Yuan Stone. In addition, at that time, Ximen Pavilion was still dying, and I was bent on saving him, so Fan Xiaoyun was lucky enough to break through the roof and escape. "The blood stains on Ximen Luo's body are indeed Ximen Ting's, but they were splashed during the fight with Ximen Pavilion in the room. As for the cuts on his clothes, he drew them out by himself.
"At present, the Demon Treasure Conference is in full swing, and I have to go back to Sealand City to supervise and report this matter to the Patriarch of Ximending. You will bury Ximen Pavilion and hunt down Fan Xiaoyun, and I will arrange it. "Ximen Luolan Yuan Stone is in hand, there is no need to stay for long, in order to avoid the suspicion of the three elders of Xilan City, he must rush back as soon as possible.
After changing his clothes, Ximen fell out of Ximen Garden and flew all the way to the northwest. The sun rises in the east, the dense fog gradually dissipates, the cool morning breeze blows in the face, and Ximen Luo feels refreshed and energetic. Not far to the west is the blue Xiping Sea, overlooking the sea and sky, relaxed and happy. Looking forward to the future path of demon cultivation, I am relieved. In such a proud and comfortable mood, there is not the slightest sense of guilt that has harmed the clansmen.
At noon, Simon returned to Sealand, and the senior ring match of the day was going on smoothly under the supervision of the three elders. Although the audience wondered why Ximenluo was not seen in the morning, it was clear that the fierce game in the field was more attractive.
......
At this moment, Nangong Xue, Nangong Ting, and Nangong Wei had just arrived at Nanjiang City in the territory of Nangong Mansion. In order to gain time, they decided not to return to Nanlu City, and went directly to see Nangong Tong, the head of the Nanjiang Ministry. has his own grandson Nangong Wei interceded, believing that things will be much easier.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Nangong Xue's sister and brother describe what happened, Nangong Tong did not immediately agree to come forward to ask for someone, but paced in the hall.
"Grandpa the Ministry Master, that Xiao Tianhe is a new person who has joined my Nangong family, and he has cultivated to the early stage of the Cave Void in less than thirty-five years, and he is a talent. Xue'er asks you to come forward and plead with Ximen Luo's senior. Nangong Xue pleaded.
"Yes, Grandpa Ministry, Brother Xiao accompanied me to visit Ximen Yuan at night, and I was involved here, please help us. Seeing Nangong Tong's hesitation, Nangong Ting became even more anxious.
Nangong Tong didn't answer immediately, and he was indeed a little embarrassed in the face of the request of the two juniors.
"Grandpa, is it because of Lan Yuanshi?" Nangong Wei probably guessed what Nangong Tong was thinking.
"Oh, no
Wrong. Nangong Tong shook his head and sighed, "If I just break into Ximen Yuan at night, I can come out to Ximenluo to dignitaries, with my identity, Ximenluo should not give me face." But once it involves Lan Yuanshi, it is not easy to do. You must know that the value of Lan Yuanshi is enough to win over sword casting masters such as Deng Xianjue, I am afraid that Ximen Luo will not give up if he does not investigate the origin of Lan Yuanshi clearly, not to mention that Xiao Tianhe has been caught by the Ximen family as a spy, but he is ...... in the Xiping Sea."
Nangong Ting hurriedly said: "Grandpa the Ministry Master, Brother Xiao's Lan Yuanshi is his mother's relic, not taken from Xipinghai!"
"Oh, mother's relics, is this true?" Nangong Tong raised his hand and brushed his beard, his eyes shining.
Nangong Xue said: "This Xue'er can guarantee this." Brother Xiao's mother also left a red stone for him. ”
Nangong Tong twisted his beard: "If that's the case, I have a reason to come forward." Since Xiao Tianhe has joined my Nangong family, it stands to reason that the blue yuan stone should also belong to the Nangong family, and the Ximen family cannot detain this person. ”
Nangong Xue and Nangong Ting were stunned at the same time and glanced at each other.
"Grandpa the Ministry Master, isn't this good, isn't it?Although the Blue Yuan Stone is very precious, for Brother Xiao, its significance does not lie in its value...... "Having said this, Nangong Xue didn't know how to continue. Lan Yuanshi was too rare, and she was worried that Nangong Tong would use the pressure of her family to force Xiao Tianhe to give up Lan Yuanshi.
"Ho ho ho, Xiao Xue'er, what kind of person do you think of your grandfather Tong as be?" Nangong Tong smiled, "Do you remember the fifth condition for inviting foreign clans to join?" 'People with special treasures' are eligible to join my Nangong family. At the same time, the ancestor also set the rule, 'Do not covet other people's treasures'. If the Nangong clan is so greedy and rude, then who will be willing to join in the future? Although you invited Xiao Tianhe to join the Nangong family not because of Lan Yuanshi, but it will be more certain to say to Ximen Luo like that, let him know why my Nangong family attaches so much importance to Xiao Tianhe, and then you can elevate the matter to the level of friendship between the two families, and everything can be solved. ”
Sister and brother Nangong Xue nodded frequently when they heard this, this is a good way.
Nangong Wei asked again: "But we have no evidence that the Lan Yuan Stone is a relic of Xiao Tianhe's mother! I heard Brother Ting say that Xiao Tianhe said that when he was interrogated by Ximen Luo, Lan Yuan Stone was taken from the belly of a demon fish in Xipinghai, will Ximen Luo bite this sentence and refuse to let him go?"
"That's what he said, but did he believe Ximenluo?" Nangong Tong smiled slightly, "It's because he doesn't believe these words that he detains Xiao Tianhe." We have no evidence that the Blue Yuan Stone is a relic, and he also has no evidence that the Blue Yuan Stone was taken from the belly of the demon fish. This kind of thing is originally said to be justified, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and we don't have to be afraid of him being lipi. The final result depends on how the high-level leaders of the two major families of Nangong and Ximen view this problem. ”
Nangong Ting said: "Since you are not afraid of him, then let's go quickly! I am worried that Ximen Luo will not be good for Brother Xiao on the charge of disrupting the Demon Treasure Conference!"
Nangong Tong thought for a moment and comforted: "Ting'er, don't panic, Ximen Luo won't do anything to Xiao Tianhe." The reason why he mentioned me in front of you and let you out alone was to make you come back to me. His target was not Xiao Tianhe, but the Blue Yuan Stone. ”
Nangong Wei raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa, do you mean that Ximen Luo will detain that blue yuan stone?"
"It's obvious. Everyone knows that with Xiao Tianhe's identity and realm, it is impossible to get the second Blue Yuan Stone. Instead of tracing the source of the blue element, it is better to actually get the blue element. Now although Lan Yuanshi is in the hands of the Ximen family, it was snatched from Xiao Tianhe, and no one thought that he would join the Nangong family later. Ximen Luo must be calculating, sooner or later the Nangong family will come to the door for this matter, in this case, why not take the opportunity of Xiao Tianhe's night break into Ximen Yuan to make a big deal about this matter, so that the Nangong family can take advantage of the disadvantage of being a loser, and then people can let it go, which is equivalent to doing a personal favor, but Lan Yuanshi, who is from an unknown source, can justifiably stay in the Ximen family, and it also makes the Nangong family unreasonable. Nangong Tong's analysis was very thorough, but it was a pity that he didn't guess Ximenluo's intention to swallow the blue yuan stone alone.
However, Nangong Tong did not guess wrong, Ximenluo really did not plan to embarrass Xiao Tianhe again. Because he had joined the Nangong family, Ximen Luo would not dare to kill him without permission no matter what, once he died, it would be of no benefit to him to hide Lan Yuanshi. In addition, looking at the situation during the interrogation last night, Xiao Tianhe didn't seem to have informed the Nangong family about Lan Yuanshi, and no matter how Xiao Tianhe got Lan Yuanshi, anyway, now that Lan Yuanshi was framed in the hands of Fan Xiaoyun, the Nangong family would not be embarrassed by the Ximen family even if they learned about it.
After supervising the day's senior group ring match, Simon Luo hurried back to Simon Garden. He had to hide Lan Yuanshi, and then go to the patriarch Ximen Dingqi to report the details of Fan Xiaoyun's "killing people and goods". Ximen Yuan is also occupied during the Magic Treasure Conference, usually idle, the place is big, and the remote place is a good place for the Tibetan Blue Yuanshi. After dark, Simon thought about it and came to a small lake near the southeast wall. There are few people here in normal times, and it is also the place where Nangong Ting and Xiao Tianhe were caught the night before. Ximen descended to the bottom of the lake, found a place to dig a mud pit, hid the blue yuan stone in it, and then covered it with lake mud.
After going ashore, Ximenluo quickly steamed the water droplets on his body with his occult power and quietly returned to his residence. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the door open, he was immediately surprised. When he was outside the house, he in the middle of the Mahayana period didn't even notice that there was a person sitting at the table in the dim room!
