Chapter 167: Heavenly Machine City Shocked
Towards the end of the evening, Situ Ling, who had been unconscious, woke up, the injuries in her body were temporarily suppressed by Chen Yi, if she didn't make much movement, there was no problem in insisting on returning to the Earth Sword Gate.
After a brief dinner, Shangguan Tian sent someone to activate the teleportation array, while Bai Qi simply said goodbye to Li Fei, and then stepped on the teleportation array with Chen Yi and Situ Ling and left Dengxing City.
This trip to Dengxing City, even Bai Qi, who has experienced several life and death moments, is now feeling cold in his back. If it was just him, this feeling might not be so strong, but this time it was different, there were more Chen Yi and Situ Ling.
To put it mildly, it is a trivial matter to die by himself, and if he is involved in his uncle and the irrelevant Situ Ling, it will be a big sin.
In the process of using the teleportation array, people can't feel the speed of time, just like the current Bai Qi, who only feels that his eyes are closed, and then he has arrived at his destination when he opens his eyes.
It seems to be just a blink of an eye, but in fact, five days have passed.
Compared with the daytime, Tianji City at night was diametrically opposed, except for the street where Shangguan's treasure house was located, the other streets were already empty and unusually quiet.
Outside the gate of the Shangguan Treasure House, the lights are bright, since the Shangguan Treasure House launched the teleportation array, the guests who enter and exit the gate of the Shangguan Treasure House have not been broken, and even in the second half of the night, there are still people walking out of the gate of the Shangguan Treasure House.
But tonight's Shangguan Treasury is a little different, although it is also brightly lit, but there is no figure, even the second child of the treasure house has not seen it.
In the silent backyard, there was a sudden creaking, and the door of a certain room was opened from the inside, and then the three of them walked out of the room with the fire lit.
Standing outside the door, Bai raised his nose and moved, and then glanced at Chen Yi, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Situ Ling stood up with a puzzled face, looked at the empty courtyard, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Bai Qi didn't answer Situ Ling, but glanced at Chen Yi beside him, and said in a guessing tone: "The air is full of the smell of blood, I guess something should happen here!"
Because Bai Qi's cultivation is now completely lost, he can't perceive the specific situation in other places, so he can only rely on his own guess.
Chen Yi nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Something has indeed happened here, and it is a big deal! There are no other living people in the entire Shangguan Treasure House except for the three of us!"
Chen Yi stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and then slammed his right foot on the ground, and the powerful source qi swept out of his body and spread out in all directions.
And the next scene made the white eyelids jump sharply.
As the spread of Chen Yi's source qi became wider and wider, Bai Qi could clearly see that there were many corpses on the originally empty ground, lying horizontally and vertically.
Judging from the costumes, most of the corpses here were guests, and a small number were people from Shangguan's treasure house.
With a furrow on his face, he walked over to a corpse and crouched down, carefully observing the corpse's wounds.
Seeing Bai Qi's actions, Chen Yi suddenly said: "Don't look at it, the wounds of the corpse are divided into two types, namely sword wounds and knife wounds, almost all of them are killed with one blow, judging from the wounds of each corpse, there should be three people who shoot, and they are all top masters." As for why the murderer used a secret method to hide the body after killing someone, it is unknown. ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to a building in front of him, and continued: "There, the smell of blood is the strongest!"
The building Chen Yi was referring to was a three-story wooden high-rise. Surprisingly, all the rooms in the building were lit by fire, and the doors and windows were closed, and no one was moving.
Bai Qi knew that this was the building of Shangguan's treasure house, with the ground floor being a shop, the second floor being a storeroom and a place to store sundries, and the third floor being used for accommodation.
If it is true to what Chen Yi said, the smell of blood there is the strongest, then there will definitely be more dead people in the building.
Without any hesitation, the three of them walked into the lobby of Shangguan's treasure house. As soon as I opened the door, a thick smell of blood came to my nose, and then I was greeted by corpses all over the ground and blood flowing on the ground.
The scratches on the walls, the overturned and shattered tables and chairs, all tell the three of Bai Qi that there had been fierce battles here.
Unlike the corpses outside, some of the corpses in the lobby were sitting on chairs, some were sitting on the ground with their backs against the wall, and even two corpses were standing, covered in blood.
"What the hell is going on?"
Situ Ling finally walked into the lobby, and her face changed after seeing this scene, it was not that she had never seen a dead person, but she had never seen this kind of slaughter.
Some of these dead people had no pain on their faces, as if they had died before they felt the pain.
I don't know if it was because of the fire, or for other reasons, Situ Ling felt that the color of the house was red, like a blood-red mist in the air.
Behind the counter in the lobby, Bai Qi found a corpse sitting on a stool, unlike the other corpses, the expression on the face of this corpse was not shocked and panicked, but with a faint smile, and there was a hint of bitterness hidden in the smile.
After taking a closer look, Bai Qi recognized the identity of this person, who was the shopkeeper of Shangguan's treasure house who had sent them out of Tianji City before.
Walking to the shopkeeper's corpse, Bai Qi stretched out his hand to probe the shopkeeper's corpse's face, and said in a low voice: "The blood has not coagulated, the body is still warm, obviously he just died, who did it? Why is the expression on his face so abnormal?"
Under the circumstance that the Martial God Temple and the Divine Dragon Sect all came forward to support the Shangguan family, there were still people who dared to attack the Shangguan Treasury and kill all the people in the Shangguan Treasury by massacre, which really made Bai Qi feel incredible.
Bai Qi's gaze swept back and forth in the lobby, and the expressions on the faces of the other corpses were mostly panic and anger, but it should not be a coincidence that the expression of the shopkeeper was different.
Suddenly, Bai Qi's pupils shrank, and he found that among these corpses, in addition to the people of the Shangguan family, there were also people from the Red Gate!
To be precise, there are not only people from the Red Gate, but also people from the Shura Hall and the Arbitration Hall.
What's going on?
Bai Qi glanced at Chen Yi, his expression was a little puzzled, hoping to get an answer from Chen Yi. But Chen Yi shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
Retracting his gaze from those corpses, Bai Qi said slowly: "It seems that things are not simple. ”
At this moment, Chen Yi, who was next to Bai Qi, changed his face slightly.
Under the puzzled gaze of Bai Qi and Situ Ling, Chen Yi took a step forward, blocking Bai Qi and Situ Ling behind him, his expression was like a great enemy. The source qi in the body also quietly operated, ready to strike at any time.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Bai Qi asked suspiciously.
"I sensed that there was a group of people coming this way at full speed! Chen Yi looked at the direction of the gate and said with a solemn expression.
A crowd of people rushing towards this direction at full speed?
Bai Qi followed and looked at the night sky outside the gate, and the sky was pitch black.
His first reaction was, go!
No matter who it was, they couldn't be here, and if it wasn't for him, it would have been a little better.
But if it was for him, with the current situation of the three of them, Chen Yi would not be very easy to think of facing a group of people to protect him and Situ Ling.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately turned his head to Chen Yi and said, "Uncle, let's leave quickly!"
Chen Yi shook his head, took out a jade plaque and crushed it, and then looked outside the gate of Shangguan's treasure house, feeling a little helpless in his heart. If he could leave, he would have left here with Bai Qi and Situ Ling. Bai Qi did not cultivate, Situ Ling's serious injuries had not healed, and he naturally couldn't sense that he had already been locked up.
There were four people who locked them, and they were located in the east, west, north, and south directions of Shangguan's treasure house. And the strength of these four people is not low, and they are half weaker than Chen Yi, although they can't win against Chen Yi, but if they want to hold Chen Yi for a while, they can still do it. No matter where Chen Yi and Bai Qi escaped from, they would be stopped by these four people.
The only thing that made Chen Yi happy was that fortunately this was Tianji City, not far from the Earth Sword Gate, and the piece of distress jade plate he crushed should have been noticed by his father Chen Ping'an.
If it was usual, Chen Ping'an would definitely not be able to come in time after sensing the distress signal, and he might even let himself suffer a little and appear again. But this time it was different, Chen Yi was sure that his father Chen Ping'an would definitely come as soon as possible, because Chen Ping'an knew that Bai Qi came out with him.
Therefore, no matter what the purpose of these people is, he has to try his best to delay for a while, with Chen Ping'an's strength, it is only a time for a stick of incense to come here from the Earth Sword Gate. As long as it is delayed until Chen Ping'an arrives, this unknown risk will disappear.
After making up his mind, Chen Yi glanced at Bai Qi and Situ Ling, comforted the two of them and said, "It's late, we have already been surrounded, but don't worry about the two of you, your grandfather has already rushed here with people." ”
Before Chen Yi's words fell, Bai Qi saw several figures quietly appearing outside the gate of Shangguan's treasure house. If it weren't for the lantern hanging on the gate, I'm afraid that this group of people would not have been found in the current situation.
Bai Qi clearly saw that after this group of people appeared, without the slightest hesitation, they walked directly through the gate of Shangguan's treasure house and walked towards the lobby where Bai Qi and the three of them were.
