Chapter 223: One Day is Thirty-Eight
Seeing the female monk of Jiuxiaomen make a move, Zhao Zhen, who had left early to be vigilant, also moved his eyes, and Heaven and Earth Wuji instantly formed a shadowless and invisible barrier in front of Gongsun Yan, when the hand of the female monk of Jiuxiao Gate was about to touch Gongsun Yan, it was completely blocked, and she could no longer get close to Gongsun Yan for half a step. At the moment when the female monk of Jiuxiaomen made a move, Gongsun Yan was also surprised, but after finding that this female monk could not get close, he knew in his heart that it was Zhao Jian who secretly made a move.
"You!" Gongsun Yan's attack was blocked, and the female monk of Jiuxiaomen was even more annoyed in her heart, but Heaven and Earth Wuji was in a state of shadowlessness, formlessness and no trace with the help of Heaven and Earth Yuanqi, and the female monk of Jiuxiaomen didn't know who was helping Gongsun Yan at all, and she couldn't help but hurriedly help the other two male monks who were traveling with her: "Come and help me teach this little slut a lesson!"
After listening to the words of this female monk, the two male monks of Jiuxiao Gate who were traveling with him shouted loudly and rushed towards Gongsun Yan, Zhao Zhen saw this, his face couldn't help but sink, his eyes gradually became scarlet, and his blood killing pupils worked secretly, and he looked at the female monk of Jiuxiao Gate silently. However, just as Zhao Zhen was about to make a move, a figure was as fast as lightning, and suddenly flashed over: "Stop!"
This figure was extremely fast, and the sleeves were just an understatement, and with a flick of the flick, it directly shook the two male monks who shot at the Jiuxiao Gate into a few steps back, and only after scraping a few deep dents on the ground did they finally stabilize their figures. And Zhao Zhen's blood killing pupils that had not yet had time to condense in the air were also quietly dispersed in an instant, with this strength alone, even Zhao Zhen was in his heart, as for the two male monks who shot at Jiuxiaomen, their faces became extremely ugly at this moment, and they couldn't help but look at the person who made the move.
"You guys should not do anything in the cottage of my barbarian bone clan, so as not to harm the people of my clan!" The person who made the stop was none other than the patriarch of the barbarian clan, Bermuda, at this moment, seeing that the two sides had stopped, Bermuda couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhen without a trace, and then spoke again: "Several people are cultivators, why bother to hurt peace for some trivial things?"
Bermuda's strong strength made the female monk of Jiuxiaomen Nanyue's face slightly pale, and after making a look at the other two male monks who were traveling with her, she couldn't help but glared at Gongsun Yan unwillingly, and then gritted her silver teeth, and said to Gongsun Yan with hatred: "The patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan is right, my Jiuxiaomen is a famous sect, and I have a small sect disciple who is not in the stream, not only hurting the harmony but also losing my identity, An Quantao and Bi Yuntao, two senior brothers, let's go, don't worry about these little people!"
After saying this, Nan Yue turned around with an ugly face, and walked in the direction of the clan hall with An Quantao and Bi Yuntao, but at this moment, Gongsun Yan hurriedly said loudly: "The patriarch is very right, if I deal with a Sanba, then I will also become Sanba, and at that time, Sanba will use her rich experience in doing Sanba all year round to defeat me!"
Nanyue, who had just walked a few steps, heard Gongsun Yan's words, and couldn't care about Fengyi anymore, her face was distorted and she hurriedly turned around and shouted to Gongsun Yanjiao: "Who do you say is Sanba?"
"Talking about you, didn't you say that you were a thirty-eight before?" For Nanyue, who was much higher than himself in cultivation and became more and more angry, Gongsun Yan had no fear at all, and even showed a face full of doubts, and said with some surprise: "Don't worry, you are thirty-eight for one day and thirty-eight for life, I will not be jealous or red-eyed, let alone compete with you for this name!"
At this moment, Nanyue listened to Gongsun Yan's sarcastic teasing, and her lungs were about to explode, but because of Bermuda's presence, she didn't dare to act recklessly, and finally glared at Gongsun Yan with a little murderous intent, Nanyue finally snorted coldly after taking a deep breath, and turned around and left without looking back, and An Quantao and Bi Yuntao, who were walking with Nanyue, hurriedly followed after seeing Nanyue turn around and leave.
Seeing that the two parties that were about to break out in conflict died down, the patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan, Bermuda, had no intention of staying longer, and turned around to leave, but at this moment, Zhao Zhen's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said: "Patriarch, stay here!"
Zhao Zhen saw Bermuda, in fact, he wanted to inquire about Li Ruoshui's whereabouts, as the patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan, Bermuda must know everything about the situation in the cottage, so he was also the most likely person to see Li Ruoshui. After Bermuda heard Zhao Zhen's voice, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and was about to ask the reason, but Zhao Zhen hurriedly explained to Bermuda: "I want to ask the patriarch about someone!"
Having said this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly described Li Ruoshui's physiognomy in detail, according to Shui Bining, the palace master of the Water Condensing Palace, he learned that when Li Ruoshui left the sect, he was dressed in white with a light veil, so Zhao Zhen stated it again based on the words of the palace master of the Water Condensing Palace. And when Bermuda heard Zhao Zhen's words, he couldn't help frowning, and his finger suddenly pointed in one direction, and said, "The person you are looking for is dressed like her?"
Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, and his eyes looked in the direction where Bermuda's fingers extended, but he saw the spirit girl Bermuda Xinlian coming in steps, dressed exactly like Zhao Zhen described Li Ruoshui, covered with light veil and dressed in white. Seeing this, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded.
Frowning slightly, Bermuda couldn't help but recall for a while, as the patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan, the entire Barbarian Bone Clan had to be in charge of everything up and down, no matter how big or small, and the people he had seen every day were even more difficult to count, and he couldn't answer for a while. After a moment of silence, Bermuda said in an uncertain tone: "I seem to have seen it some time ago, but I don't know if it's the person you're looking for, if I'm not mistaken, she only stayed in the Barbarian Clan's cottage for one night, and the next day she hurriedly left in the direction of the Blood Witch Clan!"
After hearing Bermuda's words, Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask for details, but he saw the spirit girl Bermuda Xinlian walking towards Bermuda, and as soon as he stepped forward, he said to Bermuda: "Dad, what are you talking about, why are you pointing at me?"
When Bermuda came over just now, he saw the scene where Bermuda pointed his finger at him when talking to Zhao Zhen and others, and at this moment, in front of Zhao Zhen and others, he did not shy away from asking at all. When Bermuda heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you many times, you are the spirit girl of the barbarian bone clan, don't call me dad when there are outsiders!"
Regarding Bermuda's words, Bermuda Xin was noncommittal, his eyes glanced at Zhao Zhen and the others, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he immediately smiled at Zhao Zhen and the others and said: "Hello, my name is Bermuda, I am the spirit daughter of the Barbarian Bone Clan, and I am also the daughter of the patriarch, I am very happy to meet you!"
"You dead girl, come back to the clan hall with me!" After hearing Bermudin's words, Bermuda on the side suddenly widened his eyes, blew his beard and stared, and he couldn't help but grab Bermuda and walk directly to the clan hall, and when he left, there was a faint voice mixed with a little helplessness in Bermuda's sternness: "It's really getting more and more unreasonable......
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, and he wanted to say something to Bermuda just now, but he couldn't help but swallow it at this time. Now, Li Ruoshui's whereabouts have at least an eyebrow, and Zhao Zhen, the cottage of the Barbarian Bone Clan, has no intention of continuing to stay, however, at this time, the Barbarian Bone Clan has closed the cottage, and Zhao Zhen wants to sneak out unconsciously under the surveillance of many Barbarian Bone Clansmen, which is undoubtedly difficult to climb to the sky, not to mention that the Barbarian Bone Clan still has a master of the Mahayana Period.
As a soul cultivator, Zhao Zhen could clearly feel that there were at least two Mahayana masters in this cottage. Now, there was only one way for Zhao Zhen to get out as soon as possible, and that was to find out the thief who had stolen the Barbarian Clan's holy relics as soon as possible. According to Zhao Zhen's estimation, he was able to steal the holy relics under the supervision of the two Mahayana masters of the Barbarian Bone Clan, and the thief at least had a very powerful technique or magic weapon to conceal his body, and his cultivation should not be lower than the peak of the Tribulation, of course, if it was a soul cultivator like Zhao Zhen, it was an exception, there were no wonders in the world, and it was impossible for Zhao Zhen to make an accurate conclusion.
With this reasoning, Zhao Zhen began to pay attention to those foreign monks in the tribulation period in the cottage, among these foreign monks, there were five in the tribulation period, and among these five people, there were three people who had reached the peak of the tribulation, and these three people came from three different places, namely the Nine Heavens Gate of the Dao Gate, the Blood Demon Sect of the Demon Gate, and a certain race of the Wu Clan. After a few days of observation, Zhao Zhen did not notice that any of the three people behaved abnormally, and it seemed that the thief deliberately hid himself very deeply, making it difficult to expose the flaws.
"The thief is very cunning, it seems that it is difficult for the barbarian clan to find out the closed cottage!" "After a few days, Zhao Zhen did not find any clues, and the thief seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace of value. The investigation was at an impasse, and just when Zhao Zhen was at a loss, he suddenly saw a bone-broken sweating head running towards the clan hall.
"Bone frustration?" Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, and hurriedly shouted to stop the bone frustration, and then immediately asked, "You are in a hurry, what happened?"
"Oh no, just now the clansmen found several corpses in a corner of the cottage!" was stopped by Zhao Zhen, the sweaty bones looked anxious, and hurriedly spoke: "These corpses are all outsiders, and they are in a miserable death, and now many foreign monks are uneasy and ask the patriarch to give an explanation!"
After hearing Gu Fu's words, Zhao Zhen and the others turned paving, and hurried to the Gu Frustration after asking about the location of the incident, while Gu Frustration rushed to the clan hall to report the situation to the patriarch. Such a situation occurred in the barbarian cottage, which made the already very tense atmosphere even worse, the corpses at the scene of the incident were lined up, and there were already many people watching around, when Zhao Zhen and others arrived at the scene, they saw five corpses in different clothes and miserable deaths.
Judging from the clothing of these five corpses, they all belong to different places and sects, obviously, the person who shot did not specifically target them, and Zhao Zhen looked at these five corpses and found that these five corpses were all stumps and broken arms and died of external injuries, and there were no symptoms of poisoning. At first, Zhao Zhen thought that these five people died of serious injuries, but what puzzled Zhao Zhen was that these five corpses had exactly the same characteristic, that is, all of them had eyes full of fear, which showed that these five people were extremely frightened in their hearts before they died, and seemed to have seen some particularly terrible scenes.
Such a discovery made Zhao Zhen frown slightly, and he couldn't help but carefully observe the pupils of several corpses, and soon, Zhao Zhen found that the pupils of these corpses were full of bloodshots, and it seemed that everything was as expected, and these five people were indeed very frightened before they died. Not only that, Zhao Zhen also found that the Qiankun bags on the five corpses were still there, based on this alone, it can be inferred that the person who shot it was obviously not to kill people and seize treasures, so it seems that the purpose of the murderer to kill several people has become a very big question.
Zhao Zhen looked around at the crowd of onlookers, and found that the foreign monks present all had solemn expressions showing a little uneasiness, and began to shout for the patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan to let all the foreign monks out, while the people of the Barbarian Bone Clan were anxious and at a loss, at the moment Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that things were not so simple, especially in connection with what he said before the bone setback, it seemed that the death of these five people was deliberately done by someone in order to achieve a certain goal:" Could it be that the murderer killed people to create panic and force the Barbarian Clan to let all the foreign monks out, so that they could hide the holy relics and sneak into them and escape?"
As soon as this idea came out, Zhao Zhen's face suddenly sank, if the murderer who killed the five monks was the thief who stole the holy relics, then it became traceable to do so, perhaps, the whole thing only became reasonable if it was linked to the thieves who stole the holy relics. In this way, in addition to finding out the thieves as soon as possible, Zhao Zhen also had to protect Zi Yanran, Luo Bai and Gongsun Yan, because all the people in the cottage could become the targets of thieves to create panic.
Looking at the five corpses lying on the ground in a miserable state of death, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but speak to Luo Bai, Zi Yanran and Gongsun Yan with a serious face: "From today onwards, we will no longer walk around the cottage at will, let alone go to remote places alone, otherwise it may be dangerous!"
Having said this, Zhao Zhen looked around at Luo Bai, Zi Yanran and Gongsun Yan, and found that the three of them nodded cautiously before relieving their hearts, especially Gongsun Yan, who has always been active, seemed to have noticed that Zhao Zhen was not joking this time, so he restrained his usual laughter. When Zhao Zhen and a few people observed the five corpses in the crowd, the patriarch of the Barbarian Bone Clan, Bermuda, also got the news from the mouth of the bone frustration and hurriedly rushed to hear the news, and his face suddenly sank after seeing the five corpses in a miserable state, and he didn't expect that someone would kill five people under his nose, but no one from the Barbarian Bone Clan noticed it, which was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face for the Barbarian Bone Clan and even the patriarch Bermuda.
"Quickly let us get out of this ghost place!" What do you mean by the barbarian bone clan, a sentence of theft of holy relics trapped us foreign monks in this cottage, and now five people have died, could it be that you are going to practice some evil witchcraft and use us foreign monks as targets?" If your Barbarian Bone Clan doesn't give a reasonable explanation, we foreign monks will not hesitate to fight with you even if we join forces, and you don't think that it will be okay to kill none of us, our sect and family know our whereabouts, and some forces are not something that your Barbarian Clan can offend, and then your Barbarian Bone Clan will also have only one way to die!"
