Chapter 508: Strange Death (Sixth Watch)
"Where are you going?" This evening, Xuanyuan Dragon Carp came to Tang Yan's room, but was surprised to find that this thing was actually dressed in a tight night suit, a black ancient war knife, and even half of his face was covered, stretching his body widely, doing warm-up exercises, and he thought he had been robbed.
Tang Yan worked hard to expand the exercise: "I'm idle and bored, I want to go out for a yo-yo, why are you here?"
"You don't want to make trouble again, do you?" Xuanyuan Longli looked at him with suspicion, and then corrected: "I shouldn't use a rhetorical tone, you must just want to make trouble." ”
"How is it possible, I just go to see my girl, living with a group of old women every day, it will affect my psychological development. Say, if you want me to do something, you will be free from eating, it will be dark, I have to go. Such delicate little flowers need my moisture. ”
"It's a serious thing, and it's been getting a lot of buzz now. Xuanyuan sat down at the round table.
At this time, Zhao Zimo walked in: "Ninth sister, what did you call us over, huh? Tang Yixiao! What are you doing in your night clothes, and you want to go out to do evil? I said that you really can't hold it back, so you go to the Qinglou to soak in a flower pond, and go elsewhere to harm other girls." ”
"! Let's get down to business first, who made a mess?" Tang Yan became interested and sat down at the round table.
"Three Wuzun died last night!"
"What? Who?" Tang Yan and Zhao Zimo were both shocked.
"Blue Blood Hall, a treasure shop with a long heritage in the ancient city of Black Stone, has a history of at least 1,000 years, and is very famous in the ancient city. Its hall master boss is named Blue Blood Venerable, and he employs six king-level guards and more than a dozen martial arts thugs. Usually rarely provokes right and wrong, and has always been low-key, but the relationship network is intricate, and he has dealings with many local snakes.
Last night and one night, including the Blue Blood Venerable and the six Martial Kings, as well as the clerks and maids, a total of eighty-seven people, all died tragically, and none of them survived. The death was very simple, leaving not even the slightest sign of struggle.
Venerable Baichen, a hidden old monster, a first-order martial venerable realm, once operated in the swamp area in the southern part of Yan Kingdom, ruthless, withdrawn temperament, never accepted any solicitation, nor did he accept disciples, and it was rare to see it in the ordinary.
As early as three months ago, he came to the ancient city of Blackstone, and he was still the same withdrawn and indifferent, occasionally walking around at night, visiting shops, and not good at communicating with people.
But last night, he died tragically on the street, and was wiped out by one move, cleanly.
Phantom Mercenaries, a notorious mercenary team, is also a very strong team, its leader is the Martial Zun Realm, and there are only twenty members under his command, but all of them are Martial Kings.
They entered the ancient city of Blackstone two months ago, listed the Killer Guild, and accepted employment from all sides. But because of the high price and the ugly crime, no one cares.
Last night, the courtyard where they lived was attacked, and there was no sound, and the whole team of twenty-one people, who were killed cleanly, was also wiped out in one move, leaving no sign of resistance. ”
"Last night?" Tang Yan and Zhao Zimo both had solemn faces, so many venerable powerhouses were simply slaughtered to death?
"It should have been last night, because in the evening of yesterday, the Blue Blood Hall, the White Dust Venerable, and the Phantom Mercenary Group all appeared.
But this morning...... The body of Venerable Baichen was accidentally found on the corner of the street, and the Blue Blood Hall did not open for business for a long time, and was smashed open by a cargo owner who picked up the goods at noon, only to find that the hall and courtyard were full of corpses. The Phantom Mercenaries were discovered this evening, and the boss of one of the mercenary teams wanted to invite them for a drink, but they ......"
"Have you found out what the cause is?"
"Not yet, these three things have happened very strangely, to be able to kill the Venerable without a sound, its strength must be at least a third-order Martial Venerable, or higher!
Now this matter is full of turmoil in the city, and the four major auction houses, as the controllers of the ancient city, have begun to work together to investigate, and some people associate this matter with the disappearance of the Demon Cicada Venerable ten days ago, and suspect that it was done by the same person. ”
"Hey, it helped us resolve a crisis, and now Nie Yue shouldn't have the heart to doubt us anymore. Tang Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but couldn't: "According to what you mean, it may be that a semi-saint-level powerhouse has come to the Black Stone Ancient City?"
"It is unlikely that there will be a half-saint-level powerhouse, and there is an unwritten rule in the previous treasure appraisal conferences, the four major auction houses will send a half-saint-level powerhouse to sit in the ancient city and maintain order fairly, but no external forces will allow a similar powerhouse to enter.
After all, the demi-saint powerhouse is too terrifying, such a figure can destroy the ancient city with a raised hand, and a high-level powerhouse can also be killed lightly, which is not a level at all.
Otherwise, with the allure of this treasure appreciation conference, there will definitely be more than one demi-saint powerhouse coming over in person.
However, the situation of this year's treasure appraisal conference is special, and it is difficult to say that the four major auction houses can maintain their prestige, and the possibility of a half-saint coming over cannot be ruled out.
However, the semi-saint-level powerhouses are often hidden masters, or the ancestors of some super ancient sects, they will not do such despicable things as assassination, not to mention that there is no revenge, and more people suspect that it is a third-order martial arts powerhouse who is good at assassination. ”
"How many third-order martial artists are there in the Black Stone Ancient City?"
"According to President Ye's investigation, there are only five of them, the second elder of the Yaochi Holy Land, the Thunder Witch Venerable of the Great Witch Holy Land, a supreme powerhouse of the Tianyuan Empire's royal family, the 'Remnant Knife' Dao Bai Yan of the Tianyuan Empire's Martial Temple, and a demon venerable of the Ancient Beast Mountain. As for whether there are other hidden monsters, it is difficult to determine for the time being. ”
Tang Yan tapped his fingertips on the table: "Wave after wave, I think this treasure appreciation conference will get out of control sooner or later, unless the royal family of Yan Kingdom sends more strong people to take control, otherwise, ...... This year's Treasure Appreciation Conference may be the last. ”
"The royal family of the Yan Kingdom wants to control it, but the Black Stone Ancient City is originally a chaotic place, and it is close to the Central Plains Continent, if it angers a certain big clan because of too tough measures, and then involves some more hostile eyes, or through the clamor of the Tianyuan Empire, the Yan Kingdom may have many disasters in the future.
Didn't you see that Yan Guo just sent a Yan Yuhan, not even a third-order venerable, this is an attitude, which means to let the situation develop, and after any misfortune happens, don't involve Yan Guo.
However, the fifth prince and the sixth princess are quite famous in the royal family, and Emperor Yan sent the two of them to sit in the town, which has another meaning, hoping that they can take advantage of this chaos and recruit them into an alliance to control the situation with a moderate attitude. ”
Xuanyuan Longli's words caused Tang Yan and Zhao Zimo to look at each other differently.
The vision of this Dihuang prince is really extraordinary, which reminds Tang Yan of the Nalan disciples, if they can really become friends with each other in the future, Xuanyuan Dragon Carp is likely to become the closest comrades-in-arms with the Nalan disciples, complementing each other in strategy.
Zhao Zimo said: "Hundreds of forces are mixed together, I think they can get along quietly, in my opinion, there will definitely be more accidents in the later stage." One harm, you better stay at home honestly, now the whole city is catching the murderer, you are a problem person, and if you slip out in this way, I dare to guarantee that all the detective teams will be locked on you, and when the time comes, you will have no place to cry. ”
"As long as they have some brains, they won't waste time on me as a little person, if I could easily slaughter so many people, I would have slipped straight into the treasure house of the auction house. Okay, these accidents are too weird, let the big guys worry about it, let's do whatever the people in the market should do. ”
Tang Yan entrusted the little golden monkey to Xuanyuan Dragon Carp, stretched his limbs again, and prepared to leave.
"Are you really going out? Now that the murderer hasn't been caught, you're not afraid of danger?"
"Danger, what danger can I have, if that murderous brother wanted to trouble me, he would have come a long time ago. I have to go to my girl, I haven't seen her for a few years, I have to seriously cultivate my feelings, you smell, I took a shower three times today, and it smells fresh from the inside out. ”
Zhao Zimo rolled her eyes: "Come on, you, even if you wash it ten or eight times, you can't wash away the smell you exude from the inside out." ”
Xuanyuan Dragon Carp didn't swallow a mouthful of tea, and almost sprayed it.
"You owe a beating?!Little San, go, go with a pickle girl. Tang Yan reached out and grabbed the three-legged toad.
"Don't think about it!!" the three-legged toad sprang out and squinted at him, "You're not afraid that I'll spit you into the second elder's boudoir again?"
"When I didn't say it. Tang Yan flashed and ran out. I didn't plan to count on the three-legged toad, this toad has a bad heart, not to mention the boudoir, even the second elder's couch is possible. He didn't want to rush out and open his eyes and hug the second elder on the bed.
PS: I suddenly found out that Tang Yixi is very pure, it's 1.5 million words, so he only has an affair with Niya and Mu Rou, and he hasn't officially pushed it yet, Zhaoyi and Ling Ruoxi are just unexpected passions, oops, it's too pure!!
(Evil, haha)
