The darkness of the sky grew darker and thicker, and after a quarter of an hour a heavy rain fell, crackling and shattering into petals of rain flowers among the trees.

The originally suppressed heat was also liberated at once, but at the same time, the convoy of the dart game was also baptized by the rain.

"Hurry up, the ruined temple is almost here, cover your bags with oilcloth first, don't get your clothes and dry food wet!" said Wang Hai, the dart master, to the darts who were hurrying behind.

The twentieth man also moved quickly, and soon saw a ruined temple on the hillside, although it was no longer inhabited and overgrown with weeds, but the roof of the house was still there, at least it should be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

The first was Tang Ming and Lin Jian on horseback, followed by Zhen Liang's carriage, the carriage was driven by a coachman in his teens and forties, and Zhen Liang sat in it with the old man Zhen Liu, although the old man was Zhen Liang's housekeeper, but Zhen Liang relied on him a lot.

At this time, Zhen Liang in the carriage looked at the wind howling outside, and the dart masters were a little embarrassed at a gallop, and they couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in their hearts.

"This time, no one should know the news that we have searched for the red iron essence, but this time the Zong family and the Chen family are facing off, and we have to rely on our families to find it, once I transport this red iron essence back, I will definitely be able to get the favor of the uncle of the Zong family. Zhen Liang said to himself, maybe it was to cheer himself up.

"Young master, don't worry, if there are old slaves, even some low-level cultivators will not be able to touch you in the slightest, and the position of the head of the family will definitely return to you. Zhen Liu's tone was firm, he was a personal servant of the previous family master, and he was assigned to him as a guard since Zhen Liang was a child.

Zhen Liang turned out to be the eldest son of the previous head of the Zhen family in Chishui City, but his mother was not from a high background and was just a concubine.

and the stepmother gave birth to another boy, the stepmother's maiden family background is not ordinary, slowly forced Zhen Liang to be kicked out of the Zhen family, he also created his own family business, when he was a child, he also knew some secrets, his own red water city Zhen family turned out to be just a branch family, and the words of the Zong family can determine the status of the family.

The Zhen family in Chishui City is divided into two lines, the clan and the clan, one leading the secular world and the other leading the cultivation.

The Zong family is a Xiuzhen family, although Zhen Liang himself does not have the qualification to cultivate the truth, but he knows that this time the Zong family is looking for a refining material called hematite essence, this material happened to be from a merchant He got the news that there was red iron in the mountains in the south of Cangzhou, and he rushed all the way over, and it took him more than half a year to find the red iron ore cave.

Hematite essence is the essence of red iron, red iron is an excellent refining material in the mortal world, and hematite essence is something that can be refined into magic weapons, although it is difficult for ordinary people to refine, but it is different for the Xiuzhen family.

The increase of a magic weapon to a cultivator is obvious, in the same realm, if there is a magic weapon in hand, the strength is enough to increase by three or five percent, it is said that this time the Zong family wants to refine a high-grade magic weapon, if there is a high-grade magic weapon to help, the Zong family will naturally overpower another Xiuzhen family.

Of course, the real open and secret battles between the Xiuzhen family are not something that he can meddle in as a mortal, but as long as he is appreciated by the uncle of the sect family, then it will be easy for him to ascend to the position of the head of the divided family.

"It's just that I don't know if the Yang clan has noticed my movements, there were signs of monitoring me earlier, but I don't know if there will be any action this time. Zhen Liang is still a little uneasy, he doesn't have much strength under his command, and only Zhen Liu is the only one who can be of great use.

Zhen Liu is also in his early sixties this year, which can be regarded as the last glorious years of internal martial artists, even internal martial artists have gone downhill after sixty-five, and it is even more difficult to say that they can maintain some combat effectiveness after the age of seventy.

Now is the time when his internal strength is the deepest, and his experience is the most experienced, and his physical functions can still exert the strongest combat effectiveness under the maintenance of internal strength.

The transportation distance this time is too far, and the only person in Qunshan County who can take over this task is the Lin Family Dart Bureau, and after investigation, there is no problem, but it is not necessary to change people halfway.

Thinking like this, a group of people soon arrived at the survey site, and under the howling wind and rain, the staff of the dart bureau also pushed all the carriages to the edge of the broken temple very quickly, and covered some things that could not enter the broken temple with oilcloth.

Tang Ming also took the horse aside and tied it up, he didn't need to do anything, he just needed to follow the team, but he also stepped forward to help a few people tie the horses.

Zhen Liang also got out of the carriage, followed by the old man Zhen Liu, while Lin Jian had already gone to help the rest of the dart masters put away the things that couldn't get wet.

"Let's go in first!" Zhen Liang nodded to Tang Ming, and walked into the broken wall first.

Tang Ming nodded and walked inside with him.

The broken temple is not big, but there are also a few houses built of earth and stone, there is a big clay Buddha in the main hall, and the gate has long been gone, so that people can see the Buddha statue inside at a glance.

Suddenly, Tang Ming suddenly saw that there was an unusual black shadow behind the broken wooden window, originally there were dark clouds and heavy rain in the sky, and ordinary people couldn't detect these abnormalities at all, but Tang Ming had now begun to condense his divine thoughts on the fifth layer, and he could condense his divine consciousness only after that, and his own exploration ability was certainly not comparable to ordinary mortals.

Just when Zhen Liang had already stepped into the main hall of the broken temple in half a step.

"Be careful!" Tang Ming suddenly snorted, pulled the clothes behind Zhen Liang directly in his hand and pulled it back, Zhen Liang was pulled back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

Because when he saw Zhen Liang walking into the main hall of the broken temple, he saw that the shadow moved slightly, and he immediately realized that someone was ambushed in it.

Zhen Liu's reaction next to him was also very fast, and after Tang Ming shouted, he immediately caught his young master, and he also saw a short sword piercing out of the doorless door frame in his eyes, and he didn't know that someone was sneaking attack.

"Ouch!" Zhen Liang was pulled out of balance and almost didn't scold, but as soon as he saw the short sword, he suddenly came to his senses, "There are assassins!

Bang, bang, bang! The doors and windows were kicked open.

More than a dozen swordsmen dressed in black and wearing hats rushed out, and they all drew their swords, and the swords were all as black as ink, as if some kind of paint was deliberately smeared on them when they were forged, so that the long sword was not reflective.

The man who led the assassination held a short sword in his hand, which was also pitch black, but also a long sword on his back, and he reached out and killed them, and did not say a word to them, obviously having already determined these targets.

After Tang Ming pulled Zhen Liang, the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and immediately faced the front of him, the yuan power on his body surged out instantly, and the speed on his body was a few points faster.

"Whoever you are, you will die. Tang Ming's expression was cold, and he attacked without saying a word, and directly pronounced the death sentence.

Tang Ming had long known that Zhen Liang and the others were probably not ordinary, and they were related to the task, but he didn't care, he was confident that he could deal with any situation at present.
