Chapter Seventy-Six: The Man in the White Robe
Five headless corpses fell to the ground.
The pungent smell of blood permeated.
In less than a moment, a group of men and horses galloped in the distance, and the speed was extremely fast, and it should be the guards of the city.
One of them, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in black armor with a black metallic sheen on it, glanced closer, and then ordered everyone: "Carry the corpse out of the city!"
The crowd shouted in unison: "Yes, Chief." Everyone lifted the corpse, and the dark red blood from the broken part of the corpse was still oozing out, and as everyone slowly went out of the city, it was sprinkled all over the ground.
The leader led the rest of the people into the restaurant with their heads held high.
kicked open the door of the restaurant, and a group of guards quickly entered and lined up in two rows, stomping on the ground with spears.
The sudden situation made the shopkeeper sincerely frightened and immediately went to greet him.
Who knew that before he stepped forward, he was pushed away by the guards.
"Go, go, get out of the way! ”
How dare the shopkeeper disobey and go away.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and spoke in a high-profile manner: "Fang Cai, at the gate of the restaurant, five people were killed, I suspect that the murderer is in the restaurant, and after I interrogate you one by one, no suspect can leave, now no one should act rashly, violators, kill on the spot!"
The entire hall was still noisy, and at this time, the needle drop could be heard, and almost all of the more than ten people stopped their movements and looked at the middle-aged man in front of them.
"Yo! Isn't this Commander Ling?" a man got up and staggered towards the leader of the guards, and said, "My father is... ”
Poof!
A sharp knife, white knife in, red knife out.
"Isn't Lao Tzugang's words clear enough? Who you are and who your father is, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu!"
Poof, a knife pulled back, the man snorted twice, and passed out.
"Lao Tzu, repeat it again, anyone should be honest with him, and after Lao Tzu investigates them one by one, he can leave!" After saying this, Commander Ling not only did not start the investigation, but instead took out a chair, lay on it horizontally, cocked Erlang's legs, shook comfortably, and simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this Ling Commander meant, but it was not easy to show that the one lying on the ground was a living lesson from the past.
Suddenly, a man who was drinking alone stood up.
Everyone cast surprised eyes, in this world, there are really people who are not afraid of death?
The man is about twenty, handsome, scholarly dress, wearing a slightly loose white robe, holding a folding fan, and with a bang, the fan is twisted open, revealing the beauty painting in the fan.
"Commander Ling, it's really majestic, so that everyone is waiting for you here. Although the white-robed man did not speak aggressively, there was obvious disdain in his tone.
Oh?
Commander Ling opened his eyes suddenly, and his sharp eyes shot at the man.
The man didn't look at him squarely, and danced the folding fan in his hand leisurely.
Bang!
Commander Ling was still on the chair, and suddenly disappeared, leaving the wooden chair to shake in place.
When everyone reacted, they were amazed by the scene in front of them.
The man only used his two fingers to hold a sharp knife, and let Ling Commander have a hideous face, the sharp knife seemed to be welded to death, and it did not enter at all.
Seeing this, Commander Ling wanted to draw his knife and return.
I saw that the man's two fingers were slightly folded, and the sharp tip of the knife broke in response.
Commander Ling is worthy of being accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge, and his reaction speed is far beyond ordinary people, and he pulls away from the distance, and the person in front of him is invincible.
Just as he retreated into the crowd of guards, secretly rejoicing, there was a whoosh, and a cold yin wind flashed through his cheeks.
A strand of hair broke in response to the sound and fluttered down.
At the same time, a transverse wound appeared on the cheek, and the flesh rolled up.
Commander Ling looked back and saw that it was the tip of the knife that had just been broken and passed past his cheek, piercing into the cylinder behind him for half a minute, if the tip of the knife deviated from half a minute, it was not his own hair that was cut off.
He felt a chill in his back and couldn't help but touch his neck.
"Cultivator!" Ling Commander blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, the guards cast frightened eyes and couldn't help but retreat to the door.
"What's the matter? The white-robed man moved lightly, approaching step by step.
"Your Excellency, we have no grievances, if you kill me, you will definitely not be able to escape!" Commander Ling said cautiously with a cold sweat on his face.
"Then does he have a grudge against you!" the white-robed man asked aggressively, pointing to the man lying on the ground.
Commander Ling was speechless.
"If I wanted to kill you just now, you would have turned into a corpse like him, and now I will give you one last chance!"
"Your Excellency, what do you command?"
The white-robed man took out half of the green jade from his waist, the green jade has a unique shape, and at a glance, he knew that there was another half.
"Just give this piece of Qingling Jade to your 'Chengshan Mansion' Mansion Master, remember to hand it over to him personally, otherwise I have a way to find you." The white-robed man paused, and then said, "If you want to take the opportunity to extort money from the store, you can only wait for the next opportunity, now, go and do it immediately!" The man's voice couldn't help but be a little colder.
Everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and fled at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
.....
The Gold Rush City is like a hodgepodge, mixed with fish and dragons, and there are many cultivators, in fact, the Gold Rush City has a special trading place and residence place for cultivators. It's just that with their mortal height, they naturally can't touch the affairs between cultivators, so in their eyes, cultivators are beings to look up to.
There is no real owner of the gold rush city, the whole city is currently jointly controlled by the two major forces, (Guiyihui) and (Kaishan Sect) these two forces have been fighting for many years, losing troops and losing generals, each does not back down, and then the two gangs gradually realized that the sandpiper and clam fight, and the fisherman profits, so it ended many years of fighting, and temporarily reached an agreement, after the recommendation of both sides, the security of the city will be handed over to the emerging gang that does not belong to any force 'Chengshan Mansion' jurisdiction.
Chengshan Mansion is not easy to survive, in the gap between the two gangs, often sometimes faced with a life-and-death decision, choose either side may be wiped out at any time, so can only secretly and quietly develop forces, hoping that at that time can be three-legged and can get a piece of the pie.
.....
After the white-robed man finished explaining the matter, he glanced around the hall, only to see that the people around the hall did not dare to look at each other, and bowed their heads like a plague god and remained silent, except for a man sitting in the corner, who looked straight at him like this, not only did not dodge, but also had a certain look of appreciation in his eyes.
The white-robed man spread out his divine sense to cover Lin Chen's body, and from Lin Chen himself, he couldn't detect any spiritual power fluctuations.
"Oh, mere mortal, kind of interesting. The white-robed man was quite curious, but it was not appropriate to stay for a long time now, so he snatched the door and disappeared into the night.
Everything that happened in the restaurant naturally couldn't escape Lin Chenben's eyes, and the man in white robe was the real murderer who assassinated the 5 men outside, and his methods were extremely hidden.
But all this has nothing to do with him, he is here, and he is only to inquire about the news, but thanks to this man's action, there is no need to expose himself, otherwise let the situation develop, no one knows what will happen at that time.
The current situation in the restaurant is still to slip away as soon as possible.
After the man in white went out, Lin Chenben left some broken silver and walked out.
At this time, it was too early to dawn, and the auction of the Fire Wolf Gang was tomorrow, but he didn't know the specific time and place, and he was hesitating whether to go or not.
There is no better place to go at the moment, but I have a general understanding of Gold Rush City, whether it is Huangsha Town or Gold Rush City, there are cultivators, and we need to be more cautious in the future. In this case, it is better to go back to the cave to cultivate first, and wait for dawn, and then go back to the Golden Dragon Inn to wait for the news of the two of them.
Lin Chenben walked slowly outside the city, and after a quarter of an hour, he appeared in front of several stone tablets engraved with the big characters of Gold Rush City.
Just about to summon the shadowless.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
"Don't move!"
A short knife glowing with cold light appeared as if out of thin air, hanging in front of him, the tip of the knife facing his cheek.
There was the sound of rustling footsteps behind him.
Lin Chen didn't act rashly, he didn't need to guess to know who was coming, he stood in place and didn't move at all.
"Say, if you don't want to die, just tell me honestly, who sent you here?" A man's voice sounded behind him, he slowly approached Lin Chenben's back, and the short knife flashed, appearing in the man's hand, and the man put the knife on Lin Chenben's neck, only a fraction of away from his flesh.
"Ah, so you... Are you the real murderer who killed those 5 people?" Lin Chenben's voice was slightly nervous.
"It's kind of interesting, just a mortal, your eyes are so vicious, since you have seen through my identity, then I can't keep you. When he finished speaking, the man wanted to make a move.
"Wait! Shaoxia and listen to me first, after listening, if Shaoxia still wants to kill me, let you dispose of it, a gentleman's word, eight horses are difficult to chase. ”
"Isn't it a horse? How can you become an eight-horse horse? No matter how poor you are, believe it or not, I'll cut off your tongue now!"
"Shaoxia's martial arts are superb, I am the most powerful one I have seen so far, can Shaoxia let go of the knife in his hand, if he accidentally slips his hand, it will cost the villain's life, and I am a mortal, life and death are in the hands of Shaoxia, is it difficult for Shaoxia to worry about what waves I can make?" Lin Chen already had a plan in his heart, since the other party sent it to the door, he had to plan it.
