Jinling has an important position in history, east of the Qinhuai River, west of the Yangtze River, merchants come and go without meeting people, long song Chu Tianbi, known as the emperor's atmosphere, the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period must fight for the place, but also one of the most prosperous areas in the Central Plains. and the Jinling family, which is a martial arts generation, is called: the head of Nanling, and the name of Hengzhou in North Vietnam. It can be seen that the Jinling family has a very high status in the martial arts.

At the north end of Jinling City, there is a luxurious and solid compound located here, pavilions, platforms, pavilions are arranged according to the rules of feng shui at that time, the decoration is exquisite, the two stone carved lion mountains in front of the door lie on both sides, look up and roar, lifelike. In the Chu family's mansion, four banners and big characters are hung above the gate, slightly domineering.

In Jinling City, you don't know who the city lord is and who the official master is, but no one dares to say that they don't know the Chu family. The Chu family has the largest casino, restaurant, and several big businesses in Jinling, and it is said that it is the richest man in the Jianghuai area, and the name of the head of Nanling is precisely for the reputation of the Chu family.

Not only that, the Chu family is quite famous in the martial arts, Chu Tianxiong, the head of the Chu family, five years ago, with the strength of the Xuan Realm, defeated the three great monks of the six Buddhas of Zen Buddhism in Kongyuan Temple, and finally defeated the four evils of the Western Regions that provoked the martial arts of the Central Plains.

However, what is surprising is that the Chu family has not asked about the martial arts world in the past ten years, and a generation of martial arts master Chu Tianxiong rarely shows up, no matter what turmoil is provoked, it is difficult to see the figure of the Chu family master, and the Chu family's business, which has always been ambitious, has gradually calmed down in Jinling City, and the world knows that some things are too calm, and it looks unusual.

At night, the Chu family's compound, which had always been brightly lit and lively, was closed at this time. A round of moon hanging in the sky, a little light from the Chu family's courtyard, compared with the moonlight, there are more deficiencies in the dimness, the surrounding jungle can not see the five fingers, the breeze is slow, blowing the leaves rustling, I don't know when, the branches are already full of figures.

Able to easily stand on a branch that can be broken at hand, not affected by the wind at all, it is obvious that they have done a good job, and they are all absolute first-class masters.

There were dozens of these figures, dressed in black armor, covering the lower half of their faces, with a pair of sharp eyes full of anger, and the cold light of the swords in their hands. What's even more remarkable is the four people in the gray robe who are the leader, and the surprising thing is that the breath of these four people is like one, and it is difficult to figure out that it is the breath emitted by the four people just by induction. As soon as this group of people appeared, a strong killing aura suddenly approached the courtyard of the Chu family.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

The door of the study in the hall of the courtyard was opened quickly, and a beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous robe and wearing combat boots walked in, about the age of early thirty, who looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, and the ice and snow were smart, and the years could not hide her grace. She is Chu Tianxiong's wife, Ye Shuangning.

"Tianxiong, what's going on?" As soon as the beautiful woman entered the door, she hurriedly asked a middle-aged man in purple who was looking at a scroll in the room.

The man in purple is burly, a face that is not a heroic horse, and his eyebrows are always compact, giving people the appearance that he is serious, and there is always a trace of worry and a gloomy light flashing in his sharp eyes, as if rejecting people thousands of miles away, even the beautiful woman who has been married to him for many years is no exception. This person is the head of the Chu family, Chu Tianxiong, who is extremely strong, and has a head and face in the martial arts.

"Shuang Ning, didn't I ask you to take Yun'er to Zhongming Mountain early this morning, how can you come back?" Chu Tianxiong put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, turned his gloomy gaze to the beautiful woman, and asked with a little displeasure.

"Tianxiong, what happened? Early this morning, on my way to Zhongming Mountain, someone has been following me, and the comer is not good, and I am uneasy, so I rushed back with Yun'er. Ye Shuangning hurriedly explained.

"Nonsense!" Chu Tianxiong heard this, his thick eyebrows tightened, and he angrily complained: "I told you a long time ago, no matter what happens on the way, don't come back, you must send Yun'er to Zhongming Mountain, now it's okay, and the last hope of our Chu family has also been ruined." ”

When Ye Shuangning heard this, he was suddenly startled, and said in a little panic: "Tianxiong, what are you talking about?

"Do you still remember the Four Evils of the Western Regions, the Xiao family in Hengzhou?" Chu Tianxiong said.

"The Four Evils of the Western Regions, the Xiao Family of Hengzhou? How is it possible, weren't the Four Evils defeated by you back then? Although the Xiao Family has had a holiday with our Chu Family, since I followed you, haven't we already settled the grievances of the two families?" Ye Shuang condensed and said incomprehensibly.

Chu Tianxiong snorted coldly and said, "Defeat but can't kill it, when I rescued you from the hands of the four evils, I have already offended the two forces at the same time, with Xiao Hao's temperament, can he let go of my hatred of taking my wife?"

When he heard the name Xiao Hao, Ye Shuangning's whole body was shocked, her eyes were slightly moist, and her heart was a little hazy and uneasy, as if she had an untelltainable story with this person. His hands were clenched, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Chu Tianxiong's heart moved, and an unknown color flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said: "I have already withdrawn all the people in the family, and after the Great Elder and the Third Elder bring some good hands, you can take Yun'er and rush to Zhongming Mountain! ”

"Tianxiong, what should you do then?" Ye Shuangning said hurriedly.

"You don't know the methods of the Four Evil Elders! Their strength must be better than back then, the Great Elder and the Third Elder alone can't last long, I have to stay to hold them back. ”

"Remember, you must bring Yun'er to Zhongming Mountain, this is the first and last time I have asked you in all these years. This is your chance to atone for your sins, because Yun'er is my only hope. Chu Tianxiong glanced at Ye Shuangning deeply, instructed, and then turned around and walked towards the gate after speaking.

"I ...... Tianxiong!" Looking at the back of Chu Tianxiong leaving, Ye Shuangning's face turned pale after hearing this, and her whole body fell to the ground weakly, tears kept pouring out, this was the first time she felt so helpless in more than ten years, she thought that she would end her relationship with the Xiao family, and it would be good to follow Chu Tianxiong to live a down-to-earth life, but until now he still doesn't know if this man really loves her, that feeling of warmth and warmth has long been gone, replaced by more and more unfamiliar faces.

"Mother, why are you crying?" A tender voice came from the back door, and a young man in white ran over, the young man was about seven or eight years old, not big, very handsome, big black round eyes but very sharp, a pair of slender hands, the palms were slightly rough, which was made by friction over the years, obviously the boy had been practicing martial arts since he was very young.

"Yun'er, come over and let my mother hug her!" Ye Shuangning quickly wiped her tears, smiled and opened her hands to hug the young man in white, her eyes were full of distress and doting, the child was her only sustenance every time she was sad and wronged.

"Mother, Daddy has made you angry again! I always feel that he is weird and scared these days. The young man in white pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Yun'er, don't be afraid, there is a mother. Later, we will go back to Zhongming Mountain, where we go, Yun'er doesn't have to be afraid that Daddy will blame you for not learning the sword well. Ye Shuangning kept stroking the hands of the young man in white and smiled reluctantly.

After hearing this, the young man in white said with a little unhappy face: "I'm going back again, didn't my mother say that I have reached the entry level now? Why do I still want to go to the mountain to study!"

Ye Shuangning heard this, and her eyes flashed with a little pride and helplessness: "Yun'er has a good understanding, but my mother hopes that your future achievements will be higher, so that you can protect what you want to protect, isn't it?"

After listening to this, the young man in white nodded with a little confused face.

Ye Shuangning touched the cheek of the young man in white with relief, and wanted to speak, but suddenly her eyebrows tightened, and a cool breeze hit the study where they were, causing the doors and windows to hiss, and the lamp in the room was shaking and about to break.

"What a powerful murderous aura!" Ye Shuangning's face turned cold, and he tightly protected the young man in white in his arms, and secretly exclaimed in his heart. Although this anger is still a little far away from them, it is like being there in person, and the sense of oppression is very strong. To be able to have such an aura is definitely an extraordinary master. Now she began to understand a little bit of the reason why Chu Tianxiong wanted to evacuate the family, the trouble of the previous year was a shackle that could not be shaken off.

Click!

The door was pushed open, and a group of guards dressed in the uniforms of the Chu family hurriedly walked in, led by a slightly sturdy middle-aged man, who had a steady breath, heavy steps, and a sharp sword in his hand, which gave people a feeling of sharpness before it was unsheathed.

He is the second elder of the Chu family, Qi Jiuquan, and Qi Jiuquan is second only to Chu Tianxiong in terms of status. He had been saved by the wife of the Chu family, so he was the most trusted person by Leng Shuangning's side in the Chu family, and Chu Tianxiong arranged for him to escort him.

As soon as he entered the door, the guards behind him quickly surrounded Ye Shuangning and the white-clothed young man, protecting them in the middle, looking nervous. Qi Jiuquan clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Madam, young son, the head of the family has already arranged the back door for retreat, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave here quickly." ”

"Uncle Qi, isn't Daddy going with us?" Before Ye Shuangning could answer, the young man in white asked a little timidly, his little face full of horror.

"Young boy, don't worry, when we leave here safely, the head of the family will arrive later!" Qi Jiuquan said in a hoarse voice, giving the young man in white a reassuring look. Then his eyes turned to the beautiful woman: "Madam, hurry up, it's too late." ”

Ye Shuangning nodded slightly, and glanced at the familiar study with a dejected expression, the familiar smell was full of memories. The beautiful eyes stayed on the corridor where Chu Tianxiong left, secretly hurting his nerves and being unwilling and helpless. In the past ten years, she has been playing the role of the wife of a great martial arts family, and that ordinary and indisputable happy love has long been worn out in the years.

Thinking about it, Ye Shuangning couldn't help laughing at herself, although she has not weak martial arts, but after all, she is a woman's body, and she lost to the love word, if love is not a crime, then why is there so much pain!

"Let's go!" sighed worriedly, perhaps there was nothing left for her to be nostalgic for.

Ye Shuangning held the little hand of the young man in white, and the slender jade finger of his left hand flicked his fingers in the air, forming an arc and spreading out in the shocked gaze of many Chu family guards, and the aura of everyone present was completely covered, and the candlelight was extinguished by the true qi that was dispersed. What I saw in the dim afterglow was Ye Shuangning's sad and graceful look that he had not seen before.

Qi Jiuquan, who had seen Ye Shuangning's true strength, was not too surprised, this woman who usually seemed to be weak and virtuous on the surface also had good strength. It's just that she has always played the role of a good wife and mother in the family, and she doesn't ask about the martial arts world.

"Let's go!" Qi Jiuquan gave an order, and the Chu family's guards rushed out of the door first, and Ye Shuangning hugged the white-clothed young man and followed. At this time, their aura had been covered, and ordinary masters were unable to catch the direction traces for a while.

Ahh

Not long after everyone left, all of a sudden, the screams rang out again and again, the sound was very crisp and neat, without the slightest noise of wind and grass, and it was instantly quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying. Ordinary people in the martial arts know very well that this means that this means that one move kills, and there is no possibility of maneuvering.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

In less than half a moment, with the sound of several breaking winds, three figures in black robes appeared at the door of the original study at some point, and suddenly an eerie aura swept through every corner.

"The movement is quite fast!" the breath detection was fruitless, and the black-robed old man on the right said coldly.

The old man on the left snorted coldly and said, "They can't run far, now they chase after them immediately, and they can still intercept and kill them!"

"Don't worry, let them go. The gray-robed old man in the middle smiled gloomily, and his laughter was miserable.

"They are going to Zhongming Mountain, if they go to where to do it, it will inevitably attract the attention of the hidden old demon, and the Xuanming Protector will have to think twice. The old man on the right turned his gaze to the gray-robed old man and hurriedly said, and when he mentioned this name, his face showed unknown jealousy.

"They can't get to Zhongming Mountain, Tiangang, Disha, and the three protectors of the Queen of the Shadows have dragged Chu Tianxiong at the same time, and one of them has already set up an ambush on the way. The gray-robed old man known as the Xuanming Protector said sharply.

"That's very good!" the two black-robed old men secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the four evil elders have reappeared, their skills are no longer comparable today, and it can be said that the four of them are the top masters of today's martial arts. The three of them joined hands to deal with Chu Tianxiong, even if he had great ability, he couldn't get out for a while.

The gray-robed old man sneered: "The two of you have been hiding in the Chu family for so many years, and now that you have returned to your own sect, you must go all out to destroy everyone in the Chu family who knows about you, otherwise, the plan will be ruined, and this protector will not dare to guarantee that the sect leader has other thoughts about you." ”

"Xuan Ming Protector, rest assured, the two of us will dare to think differently. As soon as they heard about the mysterious sect master, the two of them couldn't help but tremble all over their bodies, and hurriedly said.

After hearing this, the gray-robed old man smiled strangely: "Boom... You don't dare. Go and clear out all the stubborn clansmen of the Chu family, and in the future, in this Jinling City, there will be no more Chu family snakes, the so-called martial arts giants Nanling's head of the honorable position, and from now on the rivers and lakes will be removed. ”

The Xuanming Protector laughed loudly, and the wide gray robe suddenly rose without wind, and his toes stepped on the gravel slab, and swept towards the place where the cold frost condensed them. Seeing this, the two old men in black hurriedly followed.

The night was windy, and the moonlight on the surrounding gloomy jungle looked a little vast. On the wide and rugged mountain road, a convoy of horses galloped wildly, bringing wisps of dust and smoke along the way.

Qi Jiuquan personally drove the carriage, followed the Chu family guards on the side to protect the carriage in the middle, and the weapon behind his back was always touched in his hand, and the palm holding the reins was also slightly sweaty. From the time they left the Chu family's compound, they had been running all the way for several hours, rushing towards Zhong Mingshan, and at this time they were slowly approaching the fourth watch.

"Madam, this place is not far from Zhongming Mountain, and it will take about half an hour to reach the range of Zhongming Mountain. Under the carriage galloping, Qi Jiuquan called into the car.

"Hmm!" Ye Shuang replied, hugging the sleepy white-clothed boy tightly in his arms. The evening breeze was very cool, but at this time, her palms were constantly breaking out in cold sweat, and Ye Shuangning stared at the jungle bushes that passed by. The farther away from the Chu family, the more intense the uneasy premonition in the depths became.

Drive!

The group continued to ride their horses and whips, and soon rushed out of the dim jungle and rushed towards a rocky cliff. Seeing this, Qi Jiuquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and crossed the front of this stone ridge to Zhongming Mountain.

Seeing that the carriage was about to be at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, the air around the silence instantly froze, as if the surrounding rubble was crushed by an invisible breath.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Ye Shuang shouted fiercely in the carriage, and the guards who were protecting the carriage were suddenly startled, their eyes were vigilant all around, the long sword on his back was out of his body almost at the same time, and the white blade stood around to protect the carriage.

Whoa!

At the moment when the carriage had just rushed through a stone forest, the sharp sound of breaking the wind suddenly sounded, and then countless arrows burst out from the stone forests on both sides, enveloping the Chu family and his party.

"Protect the carriage!" Qi Jiuquan let out a loud sigh, the true qi on his body surged, and he wielded several sword qi with the long sword in his hand, and the arrows that burst out were hard together.

Bell, bell, ah!

The guards of the Chu family desperately swung their swords to block all the arrows, and those who were slightly inferior in strength were pierced by arrows on the spot and were killed immediately. Although the losses of the guards were not large, the horses under their crotches had already been shot into a hornet's nest, and only the horses of the carriage were unscathed.

"Hehe... Yes, the response was the fastest. “

The sound of laughter slowly came out of the stone wall, and immediately a large number of black shadows quickly poured out, blocking all the roads leading to Zhong Ming Mountain, and what Qi Jiuquan and the others cared about the most was a thin old man in front of the group of black shadows.

The man was wearing a gray robe, and on the chest of the robe, there was a purple insignia. Looking at this badge, Qi Jiuquan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The Four Evil Elders of the Western Regions!"

"Hehe, Mrs. Chu, come out, the old man is here, but you and the young man!" Ignoring Qi Jiuquan's guards, the old man stared at the vehicle where Ye Shuangning was, and said with a gloomy smile.

"Crunch!"

The car door slowly opened, and Ye Shuangning, who had an indifferent face, walked down slowly, staring at the old man with cold eyes, and sneered: "I didn't expect to take revenge on the Chu family for the sake of old things, and it is really an honor to work one of the four evil spirits, the Earth Demon Protector, to come and kill him." ”

said this, but Ye Shuangning's heart gradually sank a lot, this one of the four evils, the strength is even stronger than the middle stage of the Xuan Realm, and Chu Tianxiong does not admit much, now that this person has taken action in person, I am afraid that tonight is really in a catastrophe.
