"Well, what's going on!" Ming Xuan immediately became alert, the surrounding stream had gradually been dyed red by the blood stains flowing upstream, and a faint smell of blood began to fill the surroundings.

"Look at it like this, this blood should have just flowed in the stream, we have to go and check it out!" Ming Xuan didn't hesitate, and immediately followed the stream upstream to check.

At first, Ming Xuan thought that it was the people upstream who were slaughtering livestock by the stream, and the blood stains flowed into the river, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but after walking for a while, the blood not only became thicker and thicker, but Ming Xuan actually found human remains in the river!

"What the hell is going on!" Ming Xuan immediately became alert, and easily held the sword in his hand.

Due to the unknown reason ahead, Ming Xuan began to become cautious, he branched out the dark clouds so as not to make too much noise, and searched all the way up the stream, and finally found the source of the blood at the entrance of a village!

This is a small village by the mountains and rivers, as long as there are dozens of households, the grass and wood houses are built at will, it looks very casual, the fishing nets hanging and drying can be seen by the stream, and the steel forks of hunting can be seen everywhere, it seems that it is a village that lives by fishing and hunting, and it seems that life is quite leisurely.

However, this quiet village by the mountains and rivers, which should have been a peaceful scene, is now lifeless without a trace of human voice, and the houses are also dilapidated, and even full of broken bricks and tiles, as if they have been ransacked, and what is even more terrifying is that there are still a few people hanging from a big tree by the stream, and there is no sound of blood all over their bodies, and the blood in the stream comes from there.

"It must have been robbed!" Ming Xuan immediately settled down, mentioned the highest vigilance, and closely observed the movements around him, he quietly leaned over to the corpse by the stream, wanting to check the specific situation.

The three bodies hanging on the tree were all adult men's corpses, all of them were tied with their backhands, their clothes were scattered, and they were covered with whip marks everywhere, apparently they had been beaten badly before they died, but this was not a fatal wound, but the knife in the throat, the wound was neat and neat, obviously cut by a sharp blade, and the killer had kung fu in his hands, but the hateful thing was that the knife did not kill people instantly, but to bleed to death!

"Who is this who is so vicious!How ruthless is this!" Ming Xuan couldn't help but be furious, it could be seen from the outfits of these people that they were just ordinary villagers in the village, and they would never form too deep a grudge against others, so they deserved to be so ruthless!

Ming Xuan didn't hesitate at the moment, and rushed into the village directly with his sword to check, the village was messy everywhere, many houses had collapsed, even if the houses that had not collapsed were turned into a mess, there were no more valuable objects, obviously they had been looted, but the strange thing was that Ming Xuan checked the entire village, except for the corpses of a few villagers hanging from the trees by the stream, Ming Xuan didn't see anyone, and there was not even a trace of blood in the village.

"This is a little strange, what is going on?" After looking at the entire village, Ming Xuan didn't know how to draw conclusions.

If it is a vendetta or robbery, then it is impossible for the entire village to only have the corpses of those few people, how can the others be missing, and looking at this situation, it is impossible for there to be just a few people in the village.

Just as Ming Xuan was thinking, he suddenly felt some abnormal movement behind his body, and when he looked back to check the situation, a cold shadow shot towards Ming Xuan! Ming Xuan was immediately alert, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it! The cold shadow that missed the blow had no intention of stopping, and immediately turned around and attacked again! However, at this time, Ming Xuan had already taken precautions, and he also attacked with a sword momentum! The two blades collided together, and the two of them dodged away from each other, showing a confrontation.

Ming Xuan saw the appearance of the person who came, he was just a young man in his twenties, he was holding a long sword and looking at Ming Xuan with angry eyes, he looked like he had good facial features and was well-dressed, he didn't look like that kind of heinous person.

"I can't imagine that the Demon Sect actually sent a master like you to ransack the village, it's really overkill!" Ming Xuan looked at the person who came, and the person who came was also looking at him.

"What's the matter, after doing such evil deeds, you still want to frame me?" Ming Xuan didn't react when he heard him say this, and it seemed that there was a bit of a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"Hmph! Don't quibble here! It's not been a day or two since I've been tracking down your gang! Can you fool me Zhang Zhixiong with this little trick? Joke! I just hate that I'm still a step late! Let so many people in the whole village die at your hands! Hmph! It's useless to talk too much! You might as well repay with your life!" The more people talked, the more sad and angry they became, and they didn't give Ming Xuan a chance to speak at all, and the sword attacked again!

When Ming Xuan was said by him, he was also suspicious in his heart, but now is not the time to think too much, the fierce offensive of the coming people is forcing up again!

The two immediately fought again, the young man's hands were not weak, a set of swordsmanship made the general open to attack and defend to a degree, but there was a righteous and bright wind, it was really not possible to do such a vicious person as slaughtering the whole village, but the young man attacked very tightly, and Ming Xuan had no time to think about it, he had to fight with all his strength!

Since the gap between the five orders and the subsequent ranks is not very large, it is no longer of much significance to talk about the level of the order at this time, and Ming Xuan is before the fifth order, when each order breaks through, the progress is very obvious, so when he reaches the fifth order, he is even stronger than the average sixth order martial artist! Although the young man is a little older than Ming Xuan, he does not have any advantage in martial arts, but Ming Xuan can't help him.

"I didn't expect the Demon Sect to be so careful in doing things, and actually sent a master like you to break the queen!" After a long time of fruitless attack, the young man's attack gradually slowed down, and his heart was full of surprise.

"I don't know who you are, but I know that if we continue to fight like this, it will be fruitless, so let's talk about it first!" Hearing the young man say this again and again, combined with his appearance and demeanor, Ming Xuan always felt the need to stop and communicate.

"Okay, then I'll stop and have a good talk with you!" The young man obviously had the same opinion as Ming Xuan, and the two simply stopped fighting.

"Who are you?" Ming Xuan asked first.

"I am Zhang Zhixiong, the second disciple of the Halal Sect of the Nanhua Sect!Who are you!" The young man said in a loud voice, although he was willing to communicate with Ming Xuan, but he was still on guard.

"Nanhua faction, I am Gu Mingxuan, a disciple of Sunset Peak of Qingyang Gate!" Hearing the Nanhua faction, Mingxuan seemed to be a little familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while.

"Hahaha! You really know how to make it up! You actually pretend to be a disciple of Qingyangmen! Do you think that the bigger the fame, the more you can bluff me!" After listening to Ming Xuan's speech, the young man actually laughed, his eyes full of mockery.

"Hmph, what's so funny!" Suddenly being ridiculed by him so inexplicably, Ming Xuan was angry for no reason.

"Qingyangmen is the giant of my Taoist sect, all the disciples are the best in it, and the rules in his sect are also well known, only disciples who have reached the age of twenty and have reached the fifth order of martial arts can go down the mountain to practice, and looking at your appearance, you must be less than twenty years old! And I have heard of the Qingyang Seven Peaks, when did a sunset peak appear! Do you still want to bluff me?" the young man said mockingly, put down the long sword and raised it again, ready to attack again at any time!

"Hehe, it makes sense to say, the disciples of Qingyangmen generally have to go through four elimination battles, and the last hundred people left behind must also reach the fifth rank of martial artists to become official disciples, just twenty years old. Hearing that the young man knew the rules of Qingyangmen so well, Ming Xuan's heart was relieved, knowing that he should not be a bad person, and he smiled lightly and explained the rules in detail.

"Isn't it?" Seeing that Ming Xuan could say in such detail, the young man was a little stunned.

"You're right, but there are exceptions to everything, I'm not subject to this rule because I'm a disciple of Sunset Peak, oh, I guess you haven't heard of Sunset Peak either, but you should have heard of Elder Changxin of Tianshu Peak and Elder Changde of Tianxuan Peak......" Ming Xuan said all the elders of Qingyang Seven Peaks in one breath.

"You...... Are you really a disciple of Qingyangmen?" Seeing that Ming Xuan said so much like a few family treasures, he couldn't help but believe it.

"Nanhua Sect, oh, I also remember, you and Xuanyougu and Chiding Sect are the same three major sects, I don't know if you know the Infinite Dao Master of the Xiaoyao Sect and his disciple Duan Hefeng?"

"You...... Are you really a disciple of Qingyangmen, but you look a little young!" Ming Xuan has a calm personality, with little joy or sorrow on his face, and he does look a little young.

"Appearance is often pretended, but strength doesn't deceive, do you think I don't have the strength of the fifth order?" Ming Xuan asked rhetorically.

"Yes...... But why are you here?" the young man hesitated.

"I was washing by the stream just now, and suddenly there was blood in the water, so I followed the stream and found this place, how did you get here?" Ming Xuan asked rhetorically.

"I've been following it! I was delayed for a while, but when I came back to find it, I saw this ruined village, and it was you!" Zhang Zhixiong was still a little wary of Ming Xuan.

"When I came, it was already like this, there are still a few villagers hanging from the trees by the stream, they have been dead for a while, you can go and see. Mingxuan knew that if he didn't come up with strong evidence, he would not be able to eliminate Zhang Zhixiong's vigilance, but in fact, Mingxuan was also a little wary of Zhang Zhixiong.

"Bastard! actually let them bleed to death!" Zhang Zhixiong immediately saw it, and he was also furious, and finally believed Ming Xuan, and seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Ming Xuan also let down his guard.

"Wait a minute! The corpse hasn't been dead for too long, and the murderer shouldn't have gone far yet!" Ming Xuan thought of a more important question.
