Most of the residents of Starfall had been preparing for this day a few days ago, and less than one-third of them would be ready for some special reason.

But no matter what, there are definitely not a few people who have left Starfall City for a short time today, and even some of the more distant ones have already left a few days ago.

At this interval, no one noticed that in a deserted place a mile north of Starfall City, in a bamboo forest that was only a few years old, something was happening.

The scale of the bamboo forest does not seem to be large, only 300 meters in size, and it grows like a mountain peak from the outside to the inside, and the tallest bamboo is only 15 meters.

But every bamboo is verdant and full of vitality, and occasionally you can see some new bamboo shoots emerging from the soil, which are tenaciously exploring the first step of the world.

In the middle of the bamboo forest, there is a small stream more than two meters wide, which flows from the depths of the bamboo forest to the distance, and the water in the stream is as clear as a wash, and it seems that there is no impurity in it, and you can see small fish swimming freely in it, and there are strings of bubbles in their mouths.

On the side of the stream, there is a clean and quiet path that leads directly into the bamboo forest, which is the so-called winding path leading to a secluded place.

At this moment, three people in black cloaks appeared outside the bamboo forest one after another, and one of the black-cloaked people was carrying a huge sack on his shoulder.

The identities of the three black-cloaked men who appeared here, as well as the people who were in the sacks, naturally needless to say.

When the three of them stood together, the eyes wrapped under the cloak all looked at the bamboo forest along the path, with deep longing and nostalgia in their eyes, but also an inexplicable sadness, emerging from the body of every black-cloaked person.

"Fatty, have you taken care of everything?", the black-clothed cloaked man carrying Zhu Jin whispered to his larger companion next to him, and then stepped onto the path, step by step towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

The black-clothed cloaked man known as the fat man nodded slightly, and also followed him, his tone was full of inexplicable confidence: "You can rest assured, you don't know what my identity is in Starfall City, with my ability, there is no pressure at all on this trivial matter."

"Fatty, we naturally know your ability, but you also have to be careful, once these things are discovered, you will inevitably be punished at that time."

A word of charm and maturity came from the third black-cloaked man, and her jade hand suddenly rested on the shoulder of the man known as the fat man, and then unceremoniously pulled it behind her.

"Sister Xue, you're right, but can you stop bullying me like this, I'm also a figure with a head and a face in Starfall City", the fat man didn't expect the action of the cloak woman at all, and he couldn't react for a while, and he fell towards a stream under his feet, and couldn't help but complain in his mouth.

Fortunately, his own cultivation is extremely high, and his ability to control his body is extremely strong, and he has regained his footing just by taking a step back, and he follows the cloak woman he called Sister Xue without falling behind.

The three of them walked along the path, the slender and soft bamboos on both sides were swaying in the breeze, and a few birdsongs came from time to time in the bamboo forest, as if they were singing and shouting, but it made the three people moving forward more and more silent.

Until a bamboo house made of bamboo appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them, the three of them couldn't help but pause.

Glancing at the bamboo house with nostalgia, the three of them did not go in, but slowly walked around to the back of the bamboo house with increasingly heavy sadness.

An old peach tree with branches entwined with dead vines appeared in front of the three of them, perhaps because of the wrong season, or because it was close to decay, there was no longer a single leaf on the old peach tree, only the bare branches were waving in the wind.

On one of the branches, there was a swing that was still in perfect condition, and it swayed a few times when the three appeared, as if to welcome the arrival of the three.

Seeing this old peach tree and the swing, the eyes of the three of them hidden under the cloak flashed with deep nostalgia, but just by looking at it, the three of them set their eyes three meters away from the old peach tree.

There, there is a very simple lonely grave, which accompanies this old tree alone.

The lonely tomb has no decoration, only small purple flowers blooming around the tomb, sizzling in the breeze, as if whispering, as if telling.

The tombstone in front of the tomb is just an ordinary thick rectangular stone slab, without much handwriting on it, only the only word "Qing".

Just as the eyes of the three of them were fixed in front of the tombstone, they suddenly noticed that there was a bouquet of purple flowers in full bloom there.

"It's... Could it be Xiao Zhuang?!", the woman in the cloak exclaimed, and excitedly spread her perception in all directions, and began to investigate every part of the bamboo forest.

Although the other two did not speak, judging from the surprise in their eyes and the slight trembling bodies, the two of them were also extremely excited.

"I've already sensed the 100-meter range around here, and I haven't found Xiao Zhuang's figure," after a few breaths, the cloak woman suddenly said in disappointment.

The other two naturally knew the strength of the cloak woman, and with her cultivation, they couldn't find any clues, let alone the two of them, so they withdrew their respective investigative eyes.

"Sister Xue, since Xiaozhuang appeared, it proves that he did not encounter an accident as we imagined, I think he must have something unspeakable to choose not to show up", the third person who had never spoken comforted in a low voice.

The woman in the cloak also knew that now was not the time to delve into this matter, and after calming down her mood a little, the beautiful eyes hidden under the cloak looked at the shoulders of the third person, and said lightly: "Xiao Yi, you are right, it is already good to know that Xiao Zhuang is still alive now, I believe that we will always meet again, so let's settle the grievances that should have ended three years ago."

In the end, the place, which was already a little shady, was a little more chilly, as cold as winter.

The cloaked man known as Xiao Yi nodded slightly, and then threw Zhu Jin on his shoulder into the air, and a few wisps of sword light appeared in his hand, tearing the entire sack apart in an instant, revealing Zhu Jin who couldn't move inside.

At the same time, the beautiful eyes of the cloak woman flashed, a burst of white light flashed on the jade hand, and with a slight movement of the five fingers, the silver needles inserted in Zhu Jin's body were withdrawn by him, and finally only a few silver needles were left enough to block Zhu Jin's limbs and stay in the heart position.

After doing all this, the three people standing in front of the lonely grave did not care about the screams of Zhu Jin, who fell from the air to the ground, their eyes showed nostalgia and sadness, and at the same time knelt in front of the lonely grave.

"Aunt Qing, today is the third year, Xiao Xue brought Xiao Yi and Xiao Fat Man here again today to worship you, in addition, we also brought the culprit of the year here", the cloaked woman said sadly, with unimaginable hatred for Zhu Jin in her words.

The man in the cloak known as Xiao Yi kowtowed even more, and then said sadly: "Aunt Qing, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's willfulness, this person should have died three years ago, but today, all this should be over."

"Aunt Qing, Sister Xue and Xiao Yi are right, we are really unfilial to make you wait for three years on this day, but today it is time for the person who brought you harm to be buried for you", the man in the cloak known as the fat man also kowtowed heavily.

Zhu Jin, who was screaming on the side, looked at the scene in front of him, and his roaring screams suddenly stopped, especially after hearing the words of the three of them and the hatred hidden in them, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

"You guys.... Who the hell are you!!", Zhu Jin shouted in panic.

At this point, he already knew that the target of these people was himself, even if he was now the person he called the "young landlord", I am afraid that it would be difficult to change the predicament in front of him, and he was extremely afraid that his body struggled to move on the ground, but because his limbs were completely blocked, it had no effect.

"Zhu Jin, haven't you remembered the incident three years ago at this time, maybe it's because fear is not enough?", the cloaked man known as Xiao Yi sneered, and a sword light appeared in his hand at the same time, cutting a deep wound on Zhu Jin's back.

The woman in the cloak also shot at the same time, and seven silver needles appeared again, landing on the seven acupuncture points on Zhu Jin's body, and all of them were acupuncture points that could improve the human body's sense of pain.

"Ah!!If you want to kill, you can kill you, but you have to figure it out, I have the task of the young landlord with me, if you can't go back before sunset today, you will also be hunted down endlessly", the sharp pain from his back made Zhu Jin let out a miserable howl all of a sudden, and after the stimulation of the silver needle of the cloak woman, this pain was even more than several times stronger, like wave after wave of turbulent waves, constantly impacting his nerves.

Zhu Jin's miserable howl and exclamation were rejected in the bamboo forest, but because of the existence of the bamboo forest, the miserable howl was blocked in the bamboo forest, and no sound was transmitted to the outside.

"Young landlord?", the hearts of the three black-clothed cloaked people moved again, and they all got some more unexpected news from Zhu Jin's words.

"Zhu Jin, no matter what you want to say today, it is useless who is standing behind you, even if you are working for the masters of the two major forces, you can't stop your fate today.

And you should already have some impressions, why don't I let you see my true face, so you can know who we are", the man in cloak known as Xiao Yi said as he stood up.

When he walked in front of Zhu Jin's eyes, he squatted down, and then his right hand wiped his face under the cloak, and after a faint light appeared, he showed his true face in front of Zhu Jin's eyes.

"It's you... You are one of those children back then!!, but you...", the miserable howl in Zhu Jin's mouth instantly turned into an exclamation, and his eyes were full of disbelief, as if the person who appeared in front of him had a greater impact than the pain in his back.

"Three years!!You can endure it for three years!!", but his body was soon wrapped in a fear from the depths of his heart, trembling in front of the three of them, and the disbelief in his eyes was also occupied by fear.

"Very good, it seems that you have recognized me, then you should also remember what happened on the same day three years ago, today you will confess in front of Aunt Qing", the man in the cloak known as Xiao Yi stood up again, and at the same time hid his face under the cloak again, and the words he said were full of coldness and ruthlessness.

.......

An hour later, the three black-cloaked men walked out of the bamboo forest, their eyes all with a bit of rare pleasure, and after nodding to each other, they dispersed and sneaked in the direction of Starfall City.

Although the three of them did not communicate with each other, there was a bit of ease in their steps, as if the knot that had been bothering them for a long time had been over.
