Outside the city of Luoxia, in a dense forest in the north.

At this time, it was close to the hour of the sub-hour, and only the occasional slight breeze and the swaying of the leaves in the dense forest could be seen, but there was no sound, and it seemed so silent. On top of a towering tree in the dense forest, a figure stood quietly, this figure seemed to merge with the surrounding dark environment, and only a pair of bright eyes could be seen carefully observing the surrounding movements. And there was an anxious look in his eyes. At this time, it was Shura who was waiting for Zhang Chen here.

"Whoa.." At this time, a white figure kept passing through the dense forest, and after a few ups and downs, it appeared not far from Shura. I saw that this person stopped, his left hand propped up on the trunk of the tree beside him, his body trembled continuously, and he coughed a few times with his right hand covering his chest, and a stream of blood flowed out of his mouth. This person is Zhang Chen, who escaped after the battle with Luo Tianming in Luoxia Valley.

Shura in the distance naturally noticed this situation, and hurriedly jumped up and flew towards Zhang Chen's position.

At this time, Zhang Chen only heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and hurriedly raised his head to look, only to see Shura's figure appear in front of him in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the person who came was Shura, Zhang Chen's hanging heart completely relaxed, and his body was shaky. Shura's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly flashed his figure and grabbed Zhang Chen's arm, took the opportunity to check the injuries in Zhang Chen's body, and said anxiously: "Mansion Master, you...."

Zhang Chen's face was extremely pale at this time, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." It's just that the internal force collapsed when I fought with Luo Tianming just now, although Luo Tianming was defeated by my hands, but Luo Tianming's skills are really strong, and I was also injured by its internal force in the hand-to-hand cleanup. I'm afraid that there will be no more than a few months, and it will be difficult to recover. ”

Hearing that Zhang Chen was not worried about his life, Shura was also relieved, and then looked in the direction of Luoxia Valley with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Now we have completely formed a mortal enmity with Luoxia Valley, Ming Wangfu, Allure Pavilion and Flying Tiger Castle, and there is no possibility of a good end." The lord of the mansion should recuperate with peace of mind as soon as possible and regain his strength. It's just that I didn't expect this Luo Tianming to be able to beat the lord of the mansion like this, and the leader of the rivers and lakes is really not in vain. But now he still died at the hands of you, the lord of the mansion. ”

Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Although I defeated Luo Tianming, he didn't die." ”

"What! can't even the Mansion Master kill him?" said Shura in shock.

"This matter is providential, it's not that it can't be killed, it's just that the opportunity was missed. Zhang Chen said helplessly.

"Alright, this place is not a good place to stay for long! There is such a big thing in Luoxia Valley, and the people in the valley must have been organized to search, and I am injured now, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid it won't be easy. After being silent for a while, Zhang Chen said lightly.

Shura nodded and helped Zhang Chen away. After taking a few steps, Zhang Chen stood and looked back in the direction of Luoxia Valley and said coldly: "I will never give up on doing things in my underworld. After taking me back to heal my injuries, I will definitely come back again to collect this fate. ”

Shura also said solemnly at this time: "After Luoxia Valley has gone through this incident, it will definitely be strictly guarded, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it." ”

Zhang Chen's eyes were also wandering for a while, and he didn't speak. Motioned for Shura to leave here. Seeing this, Shura hurriedly put Zhang Chen's light skills on his back and the rain falling without a shadow to the extreme, and rushed away in the direction of the underworld.

———————— my dividing line

January flies. In the underworld at this time.

Zhang Chen has been in retreat in the underworld to repair his injuries for about a month, but the speed is extremely slow, and now, Zhang Chen's recovery strength is less than the fifth layer at his peak. At this time, Zhang Chen was sitting on the main seat of the main hall of the underworld, wearing a mink robe, and his face was extremely pale. Below, the two protectors of the underworld, the four great kings of Hades, and the twelve deacons are all listed.

"What's the latest change?" Zhang Chen said lightly.

"In the time since the return of the Mansion Master, the Underworld has been as calm as usual, and nothing has happened. The smiling Buddha said respectfully.

Zhang Chen nodded slowly, and then said, "When I went out with Deacon Shura to run errands before, I heard some news that was unfavorable to my underworld. During this period of time, what are the abnormalities of the four major forces of Allure Pavilion, Ming Wang's Mansion, Flying Tiger Castle and Luoxia Valley?"

"The three forces of the Returning Mansion Lord, Allure Pavilion, Ming Wangfu and Flying Tiger Fort seem to have been frightened, in this month's time, there has been no major movement, and even their usual work is much more low-key than before. Presumably, they should also know by now that our underworld is not something they can provoke. In this way, these three forces are delusional to unite to the detriment of our prefecture! If they really come, Lao Tzu will definitely want them to come and go!" said the goshawk coldly.

At this time, Ye Feng, the Eastern Yama King among the four Great Hades, stood up and arched his hand towards Zhang Chen, and said respectfully: "Qiqi Mansion Lord, this big three forces are not enough to fear. But this Luoxia Valley ....."

"Let's talk about it. Zhang Chen looked at Ye Feng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said lightly. In Zhang Chen's heart, in fact, what he cares about the most is Luoxia Valley.

"Yes! It seems that something big has happened in this valley of sunset. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Luo Tianming, the valley lord of Luoxia Valley, died of serious injuries three days ago!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but gasp. Others don't know, but Zhang Chen doesn't know. At that time, at the time of the fight, Zhang Chen could have killed Luo Tianming, but he was destroyed at a critical moment, although he seriously injured Luo Tianming, but with Luo Tianming's strength, this injury was not enough to kill him. This made Zhang Chen feel in his heart that there was something else wrong with this matter.

After a long time, Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Is this matter true?"

"I'm afraid it's true. In the past few days, this matter has been known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. And Luoxia Valley will hold a funeral ceremony tomorrow. There will be no falsehood in this matter. ”

"Impossible! Although Luo Tianming was seriously injured by me when he fought me, this injury would never have killed a person from the prefecture-level realm. Zhang Chen said with some suspicion.

Zhang Chen's words suddenly made the people below frown, and when Shura saw this, he hurriedly said out loud: "What does the mansion master mean, if Luo Tianming is really dead, it can't be because of serious injuries?"

As soon as Shura's words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent, and their eyes all looked at Zhang Chen on the main seat. I saw Zhang Chen nodding indifferently and said, "Yes! I'm afraid that this death of Luo Tianming is strange." ”

The people in the hall are all the core high-level of the underworld, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are extremely smart, when they heard Zhang Chen's words, everyone frowned, and the hall was suddenly filled with a solemn atmosphere.

At this time, the smiling Buddha on Zhang Chen's left stood up and said, "I'm afraid our underworld is going to become a scapegoat." Now in the rivers and lakes, not to mention those big forces for the time being, even some people in the rivers and lakes know that Luo Tianming was injured on the day of the birthday banquet, and the person who fought with Luo Tianming was the Difu Mansion. And now this Luoxia Valley has announced to the public that Luo Tianming was seriously injured and died, and the murderer's crime naturally fell on our underworld. What a plan to kill someone with a knife!"

Zhang Chen also took a deep breath and said, "What the smiling Buddha said is good. Now everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that I am injuring Luo Tianming. Presumably, on top of Luo Tianming's funeral, Luo Xia Valley will also announce that Luo Tianming's death is related to me. Luoxia Valley can justifiably take revenge on our prefecture. Coupled with Luoxia Valley's status in the rivers and lakes, if it is revealed, there must be some forces to join it. With the addition of the three major forces of Allure Pavilion, Ming Wangfu, and Flying Tiger Castle, now that the injury has not healed, the underworld is afraid that there is a great crisis. ”

When everyone heard Zhang Chen's analysis, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"It's just that in the midst of this conspiracy, who is playing tricks on my underworld. Being able to use Luo Tianming as a bait to play a trap, this person doesn't seem to be simple!" Zhang Chen said with a frown.

"This Luoxia Valley, Allure Pavilion, Ming Wangfu, and Flying Tiger Fort are at most a conspiracy, to say that they are the masterminds, they don't have such great ability. Goshawk analyzed.

The smiling Buddha suddenly said: "On the night of the birthday banquet of the falling Tianming, the people of the blue yellow spring also appeared on the scene, and also said that "the ghost abyss is out of the sheath, and the sky will be beheaded", and now this sentence has been realized, this Luo Tianming is dead, I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will be the first to win the position, and it will be a bloody storm." ”

"It's better to continue to wait for things to happen than to speculate now. Although my underworld is a killer organization, it does things above board. No matter what the conspiracy is in this matter, the soldiers will cover up the water!" Zhang Chen said proudly.

"That's it, there's nothing to worry about, it's a big deal to kill him upside down!"

..........

When Zhang Chen finished speaking, everyone below immediately agreed.

"In order to prepare for the rest of the world, I will go into retreat again tomorrow. If the size of the underworld is suitable, there are two Dharma protector choices. Don't accept any assignments today, quickly gather the members who are out and go home quickly, and remember, be careful!"

"Yes!" replied in unison.

At night, Zhang Chen sat quietly in the courtyard in front of the attic, looking at the sky in a murmur. The two protectors of the smiling tiger and the goshawk also stood respectfully beside Zhang Chen at this time.

"This time, I'm afraid the underworld is in danger. Zhang Chen said lightly.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the smiling tiger and the goshawk obviously knew this and did not show too much surprise.

"Mansion Master, you would have had a chance to kill Luo Tianming that day. Do you know who interrupted your attack in the end?" asked the Smiling Buddha in a low voice.

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "It should be someone from Luoxia Valley, but I don't know who it is." At that time, I didn't have the ability to fight, so I was in a hurry to leave. What are you asking for? Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the last person who came?"

"I think it's unlikely. If the person who came was planning this matter, then he would never be able to stop the mansion master's actions. Because one of his plans is to let Luo Tianming die. Why did he save Luo Tianming, and then kill and blame the mansion master so much. Goshawk said slowly

"Goshawk is right. A person who can plan such a thoughtful conspiracy would never do such a thing. Zhang Chen nodded.

"Hehe, the mansion master's words are wrong, you must know that although this matter seems to have the same final result, there are different things. The Smiling Buddha said with a smile.

"Oh, what's the difference? Zhang Chen looked at the smiling Buddha with a little surprise and said.

"Although the outcome of the matter is the same, the timing of the incident is very large. If he didn't come forward at that time, Luo Tianming would inevitably be killed by the mansion master on the spot. But he stepped forward to stop this matter, so that Luo Tianming's death was delayed for a month, how much can the mansion master think can be done in this month?"

"It doesn't seem to make sense. Even if Luo Tianming died in the hands of the mansion master at that time, then Luo Xia Valley would naturally be able to seal the news for a month before announcing it. Goshawk said suspiciously.

Zhang Chen hurriedly stood up and said: "Impossible! There were not a few knights in the rivers and lakes who came to participate in Luo Tianming's birthday that day, and the two brothers of Luo Tianming also had their own ghosts. It's hard to get this message blocked. ”

The smiling Buddha smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill emanated from his eyes, only to hear Zhang Chen say slowly: "If my prediction is not wrong, I'm afraid that there will be bloody things in this martial arts again." ”
