The long argument in the Death Hole didn't last long.

The ghost bites to prevent it from happening, and argues with reason.

No matter how much Ren Wailing Niangzi and Night Death tried to exonerate Jiang Yichen, they couldn't get around the fundamental point of their different positions.

When neither of them can convince the other, someone has to come up with the decision.

Styx is the one who makes the decision.

Styx was well aware that he was not smart enough, and he believed that the four right-hand men would give him a satisfactory answer.

Therefore, he has not said a word since Ye Lingfeng entered the cave.

He was waiting, waiting for the four judges to discuss one or two countermeasures.

Then weigh the pros and cons and make trade-offs.

He was very patient.

Of course, most of the people who have suffered a big loss will have a longer memory and be more patient.

Six years ago, the refining of the Netherworld's elixir had fallen into a bottleneck period, and it had been criticized for not having a new pill for a long time, lagging research and development capabilities, and the unsatisfactory efficacy of the finished elixir, and had received a secret and stern warning.

For this reason, the Netherworld Cult had to cause chaos in various places.

First, it is to reduce the number of manpower and alleviate the increasingly bloated and cumbersome lineup.

Second, it is another form of "throwing bricks and attracting jade", relying on problematic pills to force out potential pill experts in the rivers and lakes to show up and fight back, so as to recruit talents to their subordinates, or cooperate in a way to improve the foundation of medicine refining in the teaching.

This kind of low cost, which can be said to be a means of careless disregard for human life, is really a helpless move, but it is very much in line with the notoriety of the Netherworld Sect "Evil Demon Sect".

Under the notoriety, it is naturally difficult to recruit any talents.

Most of them are mediocre qualifications and low masters, or they have no skills but have no skills but go off the rails, and when they come to the gang, they either can't survive the more difficult environment and sneak away, or they mix day by day, and so far there has not been a deputy who Meng Po can look at and follow.

Fortunately, the East is not bright and the West is bright, and talents cannot be found, but partners have caught a few.

Among them, the most coveted is the long-standing but little-known view of the clouds hidden in the depths of Cangwu Mountain.

In order to pocket that corner of the vast sky, and at the same time to strengthen the foundation of the sect, the Netherworld Sect has been planning for that battle for a long time.

Who knew that the battle that should have been won quietly, because of the intervention of several unexpected characters, was full of details and fell short.

Two years ago, the Nether Cult had failed to blame anyone, but his trust in his judges had wavered.

It was one of the few times he didn't trust the judgment of three right-hand men.

At that time, the ghost had not yet come out, and the Crying Lady and the Night Dead returned with a large group of men and horses, but Styx ignored the dissuasion, and resolutely took the two judges of "Crying" and "Howling" and a group of combat forces to the Kunlun Realm, intending to capture Luo Piao by life and make up for the loss of human and financial strength in Yuntianguan.

Unexpectedly, this slightly rash decision would greatly hurt the vitality of the Netherworld Sect.

Since the return of Xunfeng Valley, although the Netherworld Sect still has cutting-edge combat power, the manpower of the middle and lower ranks has been greatly reduced, so that the daily work of the sect is difficult to continue.

That period of time was the darkest day for the Netherworld Sect in the past ten years, when it was the most scarce and thinnest in its foundation, and Styx considered itself the darkest day.

It was also during that time that the black impermanence that he had only seen a few times and only felt was a practical practice, appeared in the sky.

Whether in terms of ability to act or from the point of view of force killing, this black impermanence is stronger than the previous one.

Styx continued to introspect and reflect in the gloom, thinking about it carefully, in fact, in addition to not winning the entire Yuntianguan in the battle of Cangwu Mountain, he exchanged the injuries of some shrimp soldiers and crab generals for the pills and medicine scrolls treasured by Yuntianguan, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

Since then, Styx's patience has been like a cold pool of deep waters, and the wind and rain are unbearable.

Right now, after listening to the words of the three judges, Styx really hopes that this black impermanence can return to the Nether Cult for his use.

But what if you can't get it?

And it will be destroyed?

Styx doesn't think it's so naïve, either/or.

As the crying lady and the night mourner said, it is not a way to hang out.

But apparently, it was not yet time for Styx to make a decision, because there was still someone like him who had not said a word to this day.

Between the other three judges throwing opinions and stuffing words, Lu Hao's two fingers together sometimes knocked on the table, and sometimes stopped on the table.

He had not toasted anyone, nor had anyone toasted him.

He doesn't bother anyone when he bangs on the table, and the sound should only be audible to him.

He seemed out of place with anyone in the room.

It's just that no one in the Nether Cult will ignore him.

After all, he is also one of the four judges.

Soon, he had to speak.

Because Styx had already asked: "Xiao Hao, what do you think?"

Lu Hao stopped tapping his fingers, didn't make any big salutes, but straightened his body in the direction of the River Styx, and said, "If you become a threat, you can't ignore it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crying lady pursed her lips and pretended to be unhappy, and the night died disappreciatively continued to drink, and the ghost silently tilted her head and smiled in approval.

Ye Lingfeng reached out and stroked the goose feathers on his face very unnaturally, as if to say, "How can this matter?"

Sure enough, Styx followed suit and asked, "What should I do then?"

Lu Hao pointed to himself and said solemnly to the River Styx: "I'll take care of it." ”

Without waiting for the other four to react, Ye Lingfeng jumped to his feet first and said, "You can't catch up with him!"

Lu Hao looked at Ye Lingfeng and said, "Maybe he will come to me." ”

Ye Lingfeng frowned, his face was full of disbelief, but he knew that Lu Hao was never joking, and if he could say this, he must have something to rely on and grasp.

The crying lady and the ghost looked at each other in confusion.

Only Nightshade twitched his wrist slightly as he poured the wine into his throat, as if he had guessed something.

Styx was also puzzled and continued to ask, "Why?"

Lu Hao said: "I went to Xishan Island." ”

......

......

Tread, tread, tread.

In the middle of summer, the closer you get to the Jiangnan area, the easier it is to feel surrounded by lush greenery.

A large black carriage moved slowly and swiftly from north to south.

Those horses are not ordinary horses just by looking at them, they are vigorous and have steady hooves.

Far from being noisy and chaotic, the sound of horses' hooves is very rhythmic.

If you can look down from the sky, you should see that in a large green leaf, a small black reptile, unhurried and unhurried walking on the main veins of the main leaf that runs up and down the leaves, seems to be able to stop its progress and change the direction of its progress without wind and rain or any accidents.

In the carriage, Luo Piaoling's eyes were resting on a green leaf in his hand and the lonely little ant on the green leaf, thinking so.

The little ant has been "involved in this incident" since he accidentally broke away from the ant colony.

From the initial rush to the gradual realization of reality, this blade, which is less than the size of a palm, has already made the little ant run all over in various postures.

Luo Piaoling wanted to make a confirmation for no reason.

So, he picked up the petiole upside down and blew lightly on the leaf.

Under the "whirlwind of the world", there was a "strong wind coming", and the little ant, which had already experienced a series of twists and turns, did not panic, and stubbornly stayed on the leaves.

It's just that the footsteps of the little ants have finally stopped.

Seeing this scene, Luo Piaoling smiled helplessly, and sure enough, he was still whimsical.

He said, "Raven, let's find a place with a gentle slope ahead and stop." ”

The driver outside the carriage didn't seem to be surprised when he heard this, and answered yes.

Then he slowly loosened the reins that drove the horses, and slowly tightened his grip on the saber at his waist.

If nothing else, he was the third and last coachman to listen to the two pavilion masters of the Rain Pavilion returning south.

The coachman's name is Raven, and he was once the general banner of the Shadow Eighteen Riders.

The first two coachmen are naturally also members of the Shadow Eighteen Horsemen, and after they have fulfilled their respective missions, they will return to Jiangning County in as safe a way as possible.

The other fifteen cavalry were divided into three five-man squads, and their individual strength was indeed difficult to match with some of the masters of the rivers and lakes, but in terms of the combat strength of the formed squads, they were able to erect a circulation barrier on the way south of the carriage, and disperse many ambushed enemies who were about to move.

Raven understands that this journey back to the south will not be able to survive safely after all.

At that time, the father and daughter of the Niu family were able to "invite" the two evil gods to come to the town to threaten the Quartet, which was both a strange move and a trick.

It is strange that the pen of God can invite the top two evils of the fourteen evildoers to contribute at the same time.

This kind of trick can only be used once, there will be no next time, and the fourteen wicked people will not fool the same kind of incident twice.

Last time, the single-plank bridge, which should have been bloody and bloody, became a smooth road.

This time, the bloody storm cannot be avoided.

"Phew~"

With the raven whistled and pulled the reins, the big black carriage stopped galloping for the first time in three nights and three days.

In fact, as long as they ran until late at night, they would be able to successfully enter the territory of Jiangning County.

It's just that now there are only the deputy pavilion master and him left in this car, and the other three people who should have been in the car if they run down don't know how far they will be thrown off, let alone whether they will encounter some difficult strong enemies, so he knows that this car will have to stop sooner or later.

The big green leaves and small ants that "unfortunately" floated into the carriage were not unlucky.

Because the green tree at the roots of Mr. Yuan may have been cut down with a knife and axe, and his body is incomplete.

An entire group of the latter may have been powdered or drowned in blood.

Ten miles away from the carriage, there were no more attacks and counter-attacks of one kind or another all the time.

The number of small teams of five people from various sects and factions has climbed from a handful at the beginning to more than half a hundred near Jiangning County.

Among them, eighty percent of the team came to kill the deputy pavilion master of Tingyu Pavilion, and less than twenty percent came to help.

Of course, whether it was someone who came to kill Luo Piaoling or someone who came to save Luo Piaoling, they didn't dare to easily teach people to know their identity, and they came to hide their traces.

Along the way, those small teams of raiders and killers have never been able to make it within a radius of ten miles of the carriage.

It wasn't until half a cup of tea that he was approached by Dong Qing, the former Golden Soul Killer of the Soul Searching Palace, who was keenly aware of the fish that had slipped through the net.

At the request of the pavilion master Meng Chaoge and the Lu family who went out of Beijing to ask for Jiangnan's daughter-in-law, the three of them got out of the car together, intending to end the matter before entering Jiangning County.
