Chapter 3: Shocking Changes in the Valley

"The ancient sword is called Daiqing, which is the sixth grade of the ground level, and it is the treasure of the town faction of this faction. I hope that my seniors will return to the valley with me, so that I can give an explanation to the whole sect. ā€

Before the child could answer, the girl was the first to sneer: "Idiot, do you think my boss will agree to such an excessive request?

Zhang Song said with a straight face: "The seniors have this ability, even if they go back with me, they will naturally be able to retreat, so don't worry, girl." ā€

"Hmph, seeing me hugging my thighs, and even speaking politely to me, you really know the times. The girl seized the opportunity to sneer, and Zhang Song was so ashamed that her face turned red.

"No problem, I'll just go with you. The child thought for a moment, and agreed to Zhang Songwen's request.

"Thank you seniors for your success!" Zhang Song raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was expected that after his master saw the child's strength, he would not blame him too much for not being able to recover the Dai Qing Sword, after all, there was a huge disparity in strength, and he really had nothing to do.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Songwen suddenly felt that most of the burden on his body had been lifted.

"Hey, let's both go, boss, if you want to go, go alone, what are you doing with me?" When the time comes, if there is a real fight, I will definitely drag you down!" the girl cried out with some weakness.

"I have faith in you. The child smiled.

The girl felt that her idea of trying to slip away was seen through by the other party, so she had to say helplessly: "Then let's say it first, if I find out that something is wrong at that time, I want to leave you and withdraw first, don't blame me for not being righteous." ā€

The child nodded: "You can just do what you want, don't worry about me." ā€

......

The child took the girl to follow Zhang Songwen back to the sect, and exchanged a few words with each other, and learned that the girl's name was Li Quan, who claimed to have no father, no mother, no sect, and no sect, and did not want to explain where she learned her skills.

And the girl Kurizumi knows even less from children, just one name.

Zhong Lidao.

A very strange name, Kuri Quan thought it was a child who made it up casually to deal with her.

About an hour later, the three of them finally came to a valley, and there was a stone tablet next to the valley, on which the word "Wangsheng" was engraved.

Zhang Songwen took the lead and walked towards the valley, but unexpectedly was bounced back by an invisible force.

He was puzzled: "Strange, this valley protection array can't be opened unless it is an important moment, could it be that something has happened in the valley?"

Li Quan pouted: "It's not a big deal that your broken sword was stolen?"

Zhang Songwen shook his head: "This is different, although the matter of losing the sword is important, opening the formation is not an emergency measure for this matter." ā€

"What happened inside, we'll find out when we go inside. ā€

Zhong Lidao said, raised his hand, and then the space three feet in front of him was distorted, and a gap between two people was forcibly torn open. The scenery behind the gap is completely different from the color seen outside the array.

Although Zhang Songwen knew that Zhong Lidao's strength was strong, he never expected that this person would be able to break through such a big gap in the valley protection array with a wave of his hand, and when he came back to his senses, Zhong Lidao and Li Quan had already entered the valley from the gap.

"Who broke into the valley!"

As soon as Zhang Songwen followed, two figures suddenly jumped out from the side and stopped in front of the three of them.

The two people who blocked the road were wearing the same cyan robes as Zhang Songwen, and the long sword in their hands was already unsheathed.

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Li, it's me. Zhang Songwen took a step forward and hugged his fists at the two.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang, I just found out that the formation was attacked, and I hurriedly came to check, I wonder if Senior Brother knows who did it?" Wang Fang looked at the three of them with a wary expression.

"I did it. Zhong Lidao said indifferently.

"Senior Brother Zhang, who are they?" Li Tong saw that although the speaker looked like a child, he faintly exuded an unusual aura, and immediately asked Zhang Songwen.

"These two have something to do with the stolen Dai Qing Sword, so I brought them into the valley to see Master. Zhang Songwen didn't dare to say anything, so he could only "vaguely" explain his purpose of taking Zhong Lidao and Li Quan into the valley.

"The valley master, the valley master, his old man......" Li Tong's face darkened, and he suddenly became distracted.

"What's wrong with my master?" Zhang Song felt bad when he heard it, and hurriedly asked.

Wang Fang took over: "The valley lord has been murdered by the gangsters! The purpose of activating this valley protection array is to trap the gangsters in the valley. ā€

"What?"

When Zhang Song heard the bad news, the sky spun in an instant, and without waiting for his mind to be stable, he raised a sword light and flew towards the highest place in the valley.

"Let's take a look, too. Zhong Lidao grabbed Li Quan and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the stunned Wang and Li.

Zhang Song heard that the sword was walking above the council pavilion, and found that the entire building was surrounded by hundreds of disciples, he immediately dropped the flying sword, came to the senior brother Wu Yuefeng who was guarding the door, and said hurriedly: "Master, master, he is really-"

"Alas...... Senior Brother Zhang, the death of the valley master is irreparable. Wu Yuefeng said hatefully, "The most important thing at the moment is to search the whole valley, find out the traitor who assassinated the valley master, and let him pay for the valley master's life!"

"I—I want to see Master again!"

Zhang Song wanted to push the door in, but was grabbed by Wu Yuefeng's wrist.

"Don't worry, a few uncles are checking the corpses inside to look for clues, wait for them to come out first. ā€

"I was reckless. Zhang Songwen didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to stand aside and wait for the result.

After a long time, the door of the building was finally opened with a "squeak", and three old men stepped out from inside, the front one was dressed in a red robe, his face was not happy or sad, and the two old men in green clothes who followed him were all frowning and showing sad looks.

The red-robed old man noticed the two unfamiliar faces of Zhong Lidao and Li Quan at a glance, but under the investigation of his divine sense, he found that Li Quan's cultivation was still low, and Zhong Lidao, a "child", was just an ordinary child.

"Songwen, let me ask you. When Senior Brother Zhang had an accident, why weren't you in the valley?"

The senior brother Zhang in the mouth of the red-robed old man is Zhang Songwen's master, and he is also the master of Wangsheng Valley, Zhang Rentang.

Facing the inquiry of the red-robed old man, Zhang Song replied respectfully: "Back to the master, the Daiqing sword was stolen, I chased all the way out of the valley, this matter I have already sent a message to the master when I left, and the master and his old man specially told me to be more careful, but I didn't expect ......."

At the mention of the word "Master", Zhang Songwen's state of mind, which had not yet been completely stable, became turbulent again, and his eyes turned red again in an instant.

"Daiqing was stolen? The red-robed old man turned his head and asked the two behind him, "I wonder if Senior Brother Zhang has communicated this matter with the two junior brothers?"

The two old men in Tsing Yi shook their heads together, and one of them was a little chubby and said, "Presumably, Senior Brother Zhang has been murdered by gangsters before he has time to tell us." ā€

"It's just a possibility. The red-robed old man looked at Zhang Songwen again, his eyes burning, "Since you have returned to the valley, you must have recovered the Daiqing Sword?"

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "No, but I-"

"I guessed it was you!" The red-robed old man shouted, as if a thunderclap sounded, interrupting Zhang Songwen's words, "There are no traces of a fight upstairs, Senior Brother Zhang was obviously killed by a sneak attack, but with his cultivation, there is no enemy within a radius of thousands of miles who can quietly approach him and succeed in one blow, so the one who attacked him must be his cronies, and I don't need to say anything more!"
