However, Kong Rui was thinking, if there were enemy spirit disciple disciples coming, they should all be late-stage spirit disciple disciples, and most of them would drive the clouds here, why did they stay in this inn-like town? Could it be that they also wanted to ambush someone, so they settled here? However, the message from Deputy Hall Master Chen did not contain any information in this regard, and Kong Rui had no good way, so he had to find a place to rest first and wait for the evening action.

The time of the day passed quickly, and in the evening, according to the request of Deputy Hall Master Chen, Kong Rui changed into a costume and waited quietly on the hill on the edge of the town to see what was going on.

Sure enough, before the sky darkened, Kong Rui saw seven or eight people walking on the road in the south direction from a distance.

At this time, Kong Rui also saw a lot of passers-by from the south to the north, all of whom planned to stay here for one night when they arrived in the town and set off the next day, but these seven people were very strange, although everyone was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people in the Great Yan Country, but they had already entered the town relatively late, but they did not have the slightest intention of staying in the town, but went straight through the town and continued to walk north. Kong Rui naturally felt that there was a problem, so he quietly followed from the mountain.

I saw that the men had gone out of the town, and had walked another four or five miles, and then they scattered around the side of the road, and laid an ambush, as if they were really trying to ambush someone.

Kong Rui also leaned over quietly, and thought of finding an opportunity to make a move immediately, not wanting him to get closer to the more he felt wrong, his current mental power was already very strong, enough to sense the cultivation of these people, these people did not have the cultivation of spirit disciples at all, at most they were just middle-level qi refiners.

The results of this kind of investigation are very different from the mission plan, and now that Kong Rui himself has returned to the sect, it is impossible for him to step forward and kill these qi refiners, but Vice Hall Master Chen's request is to ask him to come here, is there really something wrong? Or are these qi refiners going to ambush the late-stage spirit disciples? This seems to be impossible.

Just as Kong Rui was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road to the north, and it was obvious that someone was coming again. Kong Rui hurriedly hid his figure first, and then looked at the way of the comer.

Sure enough, I saw more than a dozen riders coming on the mountain road in the north, but it was some caravan dressed people who were riding horses, and the people inside looked even more ordinary, but there seemed to be seven or eight qi refiners, who should be bodyguards or something. Kong Rui was even more confused, how could there be any spirit disciples here? And they didn't know the specific identities of these people, so how could he step forward and do it?

I saw that the seven people who had been ambushed there before all jumped up one after another, blocking the way of the horse team.

When the dozen or so members of the horse team saw someone blocking the road, they didn't mean to stop, but instead urged the horse forward, eager to step the opponent under the horse's hooves in an instant.

The seven men seemed to be prepared, and they all threw forward round balls, and as soon as they hit the ground, they all burst open, making loud noises, and at the same time emitting a dazzling white light, and the horses seemed to be very afraid of the flash before them, so they all stopped quickly, and the men stood up, not daring to rush forward again.

There were also seven or eight healthy men in the horse team, and when the horses were blocked, they flew off their horses at the same time, stepped forward and said, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"

One of the seven seemed to be a leader: "We are just asking for money, as long as you hand over your belongings and horses, we will naturally be able to keep you safe." ”

This man spoke calmly, not at all like he had come to rob, but from his tone, he didn't seem to value property, but most of them were provocative.

The bodyguards were very patient, and said, "We have also lost our money in business, and we have no property, and the horses are also used as a substitute for us, can you raise your noble hand and let us go this time?"

Finally, one of the seven could not bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and shouted: "Whoever will take a fancy to your belongings and horses, we will have one person, as long as Wu Bijie stays, the others can go." ”

It turned out that these seven people also saw that there were many opponents after all, and there were also seven or eight Qi Refiner bodyguards, so they were still a little jealous, but they didn't dare to retreat, and they saw that the other party didn't seem to be tough, so they stepped forward and said.

As soon as he heard Wu Bijie, Kong Rui couldn't help but immediately think of the Mr. Wu he had seen in Baota County, how could someone here mention his name? ”

The leader of the seven sneered and said, "When did the number two person of the dignified pagoda sect become a shrunken turtle?"

The people in the caravan seemed to be seen through by them, and immediately shouted: "If you want to find trouble with Mr. Wu, you are still far away!"

Before the seven or eight men who had dismounted could make a move, they saw a few men riding on their horses behind them shoot a burst of crossbow arrows, which shot straight at the seven men who were blocking the way, and the seven or eight men in front also pounced on them, and in just a few rounds, they wounded all the seven people who were in the way and knocked them to the ground. Unexpectedly, the seven people were also very strong, and they all quickly committed suicide by taking poison.

Kong Rui hid in the dark, and after observing this, he felt even more strange, he remembered that Mr. Wu often coordinated the affairs of the pagoda faction and the court of Jiangyun City in Jiangyun City, but in order to intercept such a character, the opponent actually only sent such seven people with mediocre martial arts, although they were all strong, and would rather commit suicide than be captured alive, but this does not mean that they have the ability to do this; ？

I only heard the few people in the caravan come forward to inspect the corpses and said, "It seems to be some local gang members, why did they come here to rob?"

A rider in the back ordered: "Take away a piece of evidence, leave one person to see here, we should notify the yamen as soon as possible and let them send someone to deal with it." With that, he urged the horse to go on.

Only one of the men who had dismounted had left was left, and the rest got on their horses and left.

Kong Rui saw that there were no spirit disciples at all, and the people of the horse team had figured out all this thing, and those riders were all acting in accordance with the rules, but they didn't know how this Mr. Wu Bijie could be intercepted by a few small local gang men, which seemed too unreasonable. Kong Rui couldn't guess why, so he planned to set off to follow the riders to see if Mr. Wu was inside.

Just as Kong Rui was about to leave, he suddenly felt a trace of mana fluctuation. Kong Rui was stunned, and hurriedly kept his body still, quietly looking in that direction. Sure enough, a black shadow flew down from the opposite side of the mountain, and flew straight towards the riders who stayed there.

The rider had just moved the bodies to the side of the road, unguarded, and was subdued by the shadows.

Soon I heard the black shadow ask: "If you don't want to die, tell me the truth, which way did Wu Bijie take?"

Although the rider was suddenly restrained, he was still very calm and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

The black shadow sneered and said, "If you want to die, you can carry it, I'll go and kill all those people, and see if you say anything." ”

The rider seemed a little jealous of the dark shadow's words, and said, "We are just ordinary guards, how can we know such a thing?"

The black shadow snorted and said, "If you want to watch them die, then I will fulfill you." Then he took the rider and walked towards the town.

After walking a few steps, the rider suddenly said, "They came ashore in Shuikou Town in the middle of the night today. ”

The shadow didn't speak, but raised his hand to knock the rider unconscious, put in a storage charm, stomped on his feet, and drove the clouds away. Kong Rui finally saw a spirit disciple coming, and he found a reason for himself to make a move, but he still didn't know where the other party came from, but fortunately, he had heard where the spirit disciple was going, and knew that Wu Bijie was involved, and he also wanted to take a look, so he quickly took out the jade slip to check the map and found the place of Shuikou Town. At a glance on the map, it was indeed the direction where the spirit disciple had gone just now, and at that moment, Kong Rui also drove the clouds to follow.
