Chapter Seventy-Four: Darkness

It is often said that the invisible danger is the real danger!

At this moment, in this situation, Yue Fan has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

Dangerous, cold, silent, cold, cold......

The empty valley was dead silent, there was no sound, not even breathing stopped, as if it were a dead place. Yue Fan was in it, calmly observing the position and direction of the surrounding trees, flowers, and rocks, and the unique and wonderful techniques of "Star Decision" in his hand were transformed into countless times, constantly deducing the changes in the formation...... From the shock at the beginning to the calmness...... Then from surprise to doubt...... Gradually, until finally, his eyes became blank, and his originally serious expression suddenly became thankful and bitter, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"How so?!...... Actually, he was tricked, damn it!!" Yue Fan was very annoyed and angry now, he had experienced a lot of determination, and he had a strong ability to bear, and he couldn't help but scold!

It turned out that this ancient array did not kill anything except for isolating spiritual consciousness and confusing people's minds, as long as it met someone who knew a little about the way of formation, this array was simply like a fictitious one. It was a loss for Yue Fan to think that he had fallen into the calculations of others, wasted half a day of time and energy to calculate the formation, and worried about it for so long, in the end it was just a false alarm! When he encountered such an unlucky and stubborn thing, I am afraid that no one would be happy if he was replaced.

It's just that there are both sides to everything, and it's not necessarily all bad. After the deduction and confirmation of "Star Decision", Yue Fan has gained a lot. At least, he has a lot of new understanding of the way of change of the formation, and these practical experiences are not mentioned in the "Book of Wonders", even the formation master of the Hidden Immortal Valley, the old man Huangfu Ming. But Yue Fan still couldn't understand why this formation only defended and not attacked. Could it be that the people of the Bloody Clothes Gate forgot to activate the formation or were they too confident...... In any case, this explanation is too far-fetched.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look. Time was pressing, and Yue Fan didn't bother to guess the reason. After making sure that the formation was okay again, he gently took off his cloth boots, ** his feet, and carefully walked along the mountain wall, towards the light in the middle of the valley.

......

A few slight breaths were distributed in the hidden places of the valley, and they were the secret sentinels of the Bloody Clothes Gate lurking in the valley. Every camouflage layout is covered by the surrounding environment, so that people can't see the reality in it, and it is exquisite!

Not far ahead, there is a hidden pile. At this time, his spiritual sense was restricted, and Yue Fan could not detect it. However, after all, he was a hunter and his instincts were extremely sharp, and with the slightest difference, he could immediately sense that something was wrong, so he stopped.

"Uhhh

The black shadow appeared, silently streaked, and suddenly there was a muffled sound from the depths of the grass, and then there was no movement.

Yue Fan slowly moved over, pushing aside the lush grass pile, and sure enough, there was a killer buried under the soil, revealing half of his head. The hilt of a sword stood in the man's hall, blood flowing into the soil, apparently dead.

Originally, the arrangement of the Bloody Clothes Gate was seamless, but the one they met was a very good hunter, and this hunter also knew the various assassination techniques of the Bloody Clothes Gate very well, so I have to say that their nightmare is coming, who is the real killer in the end!

It's still quiet, as if nothing has changed. If it weren't for the fact that there was an extra corpse under the haystack, who would have known that there were so many secrets hidden in this dead valley.

Yue Fan quietly observed for a moment, and then pulled out the murder weapon on the corpse, which was the fish intestine short sword.

In the night, a figure faded into the darkness.

......

――――――――――――

The side of the valley is the usual training and recuperation place of the Bloody Clothes Gate, and the stone rooms, martial arts arenas, and organ roads are built along the mountain, which are connected in a staggered and orderly manner.

It's late at night, and even the cold-blooded killers have long since rested. There is only one cave secret room, which is still lit with muddy lights, and there are faint high-pitched ** of men and women inside, and a rotten breath wafts in the air.

In the room, a man and a woman went on a blind date on a stone bed...... The man's expression is excited, and the strong and powerful muscles are exposed, while the woman's delicate and delicate eyes convey a provocative message, which makes people confused and unable to extricate themselves.

At this moment, an inopportune voice sounded outside the door of the stone room: "My lord, the master of the door has already left the customs, and I will let the little one come to tell you." ”

“......”

The room gradually quieted down, the iron door of the stone room slowly opened, and Hu Meiniang walked out neatly, and the faint red tide on her cheeks had not yet receded.

"Let's go, don't make the master wait long. ”

"It's my lord. ”

......

The two hurried out of the cave, unaware that a pair of deep eyes were watching them behind them.

There was no wind and no movement, and the black shadow followed without a breath.

......

Hearing that the master was out of the customs, Hu Meiniang didn't dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly rushed to the main hall hall, which was still empty.

"The apprentice Hu Meiniang asked to see the master, and congratulated the master on his success. ”

The delicate voice echoed in the empty hall, and after a moment, the iron wall in front of the hall slowly turned, and a middle-aged man in a black robe sat on a stone chair. His dull hair was faintly red, his dry cheeks were carved with a hideous scar, and his vicious eyes were bloody...... He is the current master of the Bloody Clothes Gate - the ninth generation of "Xue Yiren".

When Hu Meiniang saw her master appear, she walked forward and said half-angrily and half-flatteringly: "Master only cares about cultivation all day long, and doesn't accompany Mei'er, I really want to die Mei'er." As he spoke, he was already hanging on each other, and his eyes were full of grievances.

"Hehe!" Xue Yiren's hands kept wandering away from Hu Meiniang, and a smile on his face was uglier than a ghost: "Hey, is my Mei'er angry with me? Hahaha-"

"Master is making fun of Mei'er again. Hu Meiniang snorted and said, "Master's Huoyun Divine Skill has been completed, how can Mei'er afford it!"

"En?" Xue Yiren frowned, and said unhappily: "Could it be that as a teacher, you will still covet your little bit of Xuanyin power?" Hmph!" As the leader of the Bloody Clothes Sect, Xue Yiren has strange martial arts, and his personality is even more vicious and vicious, even if his apprentice makes a mistake, he will kill him, and there is no affection to talk about. Of course, this is also a necessary condition and principle for the leader of a killer organization.

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand...... Master" Seeing that the master was moody, Hu Meiniang was a little frightened and said: "Master is the best for Mei'er, of course Mei'er remembers it in her heart and doesn't dare to forget it, but Mei'er's Dafa is not yet complete, and it is difficult to bear Master's Yuanyang, please be more considerate of Mei'er." After a pause, Hu Meiniang bit her lip and said with half grievances: "What if...... If the master really wants Mei'er, Mei'er will serve the master. "Anyway, gently untie Luo's shirt, and look sad, I really see pity.

"Forget it. Xue Yiren waved his hand, motioned to put on his clothes, and said with a stretched brow: "Mei'er has this heart, and the teacher also knows that your skills are about to break through, if you are compatible with me now, it will inevitably damage your skills." ”

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" Hu Meiniang looked grateful and changed her face to a smile: "I know that Master is the best for Mei'er." The words fell, and the plump and delicate body rubbed against the other party.

"Okay Mei'er, you are seducing you as a teacher like this, I really want to correct you on the spot. Xue Yiren gently pushed away the beauty in his arms, his mind gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "This little sassy hoof's charm has improved a lot, fortunately, Lao Tzu's Huoyun heart method has been completed, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to control her in the future." It's better to wait, and there's no hurry now, and when she completes her deeds, she will be in harmony with me, and then she will ...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Hu Meiniang didn't know what her master was thinking, so she got up and straightened her clothes, and said with a straight face: "Master, Mei'er has something to report when she comes back this time." ”

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

"There is another change in the imperial court...... Since Chongzhen became seriously ill, although the crown prince did not take the throne, he gradually grasped the power, and now he is secretly eradicating dissidents and cultivating henchmen, even the Taifu Hengshan has been placed under house arrest, and now everyone in the capital is in danger, and the court situation is even more chaotic......"

Seeing Xue Yiren nodding, Hu Meiniang continued: "The third princess of the Ming Dynasty quietly left the palace, although there were many twists and turns, but it was fine, but in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the prince has let Wen Bin, the first master eunuch in the palace, out of the palace, and Zhu Kangjing, the king of Song, also secretly mobilized the Tianzi killer of the Shadow Killing Gate, it seems that they have to put the third princess to death...... If the third princess dies, the crown prince will rightfully ascend to the throne and control the power. Master, do you think we should do something?"

Xue Yiren didn't answer and asked, "Where is the third princess now?"

According to the news, the last time they appeared was in the Xiling area of Henan, and the direction of their escape was still to Luoyang, and now they should have entered Ruzhou. After Hu Meiniang finished speaking briefly, she turned to ask, "Master, how do we arrange it?"

After pondering for a moment, Xue Yiren said with a smile in his eyes: "The worship of the Dragon Guard, the master of the Dark Sword Pavilion, and the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, these people are not fuel-efficient lamps! Princess Daming is not so easy to deal with, since the people of the Shadow Killing Gate have been dispatched, presumably those people will not stand idly by, so why should we join in this fun." Now that the world and the rivers and lakes are so chaotic, it is just for them to fight with each other, and when their strength is weakened, we are doing the benefit of the fishermen. Well, I will tell the young master about this matter first, and see how the young master can arrange it best. ”

Hu Meiniang still had doubts: "Master, if they really succeed, won't this Ming Dynasty fall into the hands of others?"

Xue Yiren looked at the front with far-reaching eyes, and said with a cold smile: "The opportunity is never in them, nor is it in us, but in the hands of another force, even if they win the country, what can they do, in the face of a powerful force, they have no room to resist at all." The world is big, and there are some things that you and I can't understand. In short, we do what we need to do, and the things outside, the young master will naturally deal with them. ”

Although she didn't understand it very well, Hu Meiniang knew that she shouldn't ask more and not ask again, so she changed the topic and said: "Mei... Mei'er has one more thing to tell. ”

"Oh, you name it. ”

Li Yuefan appeared. ”

"Li Yuefan?!" Xue Yiren was stunned, and his eyes became solemn: "You mean the knife madness Li Yuefan?"

"Yes. Nodding emphatically, Hu Meiniang continued: "Yesterday, I tracked Li Yuefan all the way to Hongtong Town, and I didn't expect that the people of the Heavenly Evil Sect also appeared there, and later there was a conflict between the two of them, and even the 'evil son' Qin Yu was abolished......

At that moment, Hu Meiniang briefly told what happened yesterday, and when she heard it, Xue Yiren's face became more and more ugly.

"Actually, that sword maniac kung fu is not very good, it's not that I can't help it, compared to the master and the young master...... Master, Master......" Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Hu Meiniang was nervous for a while.

"Presumptuous!" Xue Yiren shouted angrily, pointed at the other party and said: "The young master asked us to secretly pay attention to Li Yuefan's situation, and warned us not to act rashly, you... You dare to knowingly do it, you bastard! You don't want to live, do you?"

"Mei'er is wrong! Mei'er is wrong...... Hu Meiniang saw that the master was really angry, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master forgive! Master forgive! Then Li Yuefan has always been against the young master, and now he has broken the foundation of the young master in the Qingshan Mountains, Mei'er is also because the young master is unhappy, so she will impulsively violate the ban, and ask the master to forgive me!"

"You ......" Xue Yiren originally wanted to say something, but after a change of heart, his tone softened: "Alas, forget it, since you are safe and sound, this incident should not have happened as a teacher, I hope you can make up for it in the future." ”

"Thank you, master, thank you, master! Mei'er will repay Master wholeheartedly. If Hu Meiniang received amnesty, she kowtowed again and again.

"Although I don't know the depth of Li Yuefan yet, with his current rumors, it is not something that a little girl like you can deal with. ”

"Yes. Even if she was unconvinced, Hu Meiniang still pretended to be taught.

As soon as the words changed, Xue Yiren reminded again: "Okay, Li Yuefan's affairs are handled by the young masters, you just need to secretly monitor him." I don't want you to make the same mistake a second time, you know?"

Mei'er understood. Hu Meiniang let out a long sigh of relief after getting up, knowing that the master would not pursue it anymore, so she let go and asked, "Master, what does the young master plan to do with Li Yuefan?"

"The young master plans to take action in person, and by the way, he will stand up in front of everyone, so that the next plan can be carried out smoothly. ”

"If the young master makes a move, then Li Yuefan will definitely be in a catastrophe. ”

Xue Yiren smiled in agreement, and then said: "By the way, the young master has sent a warrant yesterday to let our people sneak into Luoyang and work with Sunflower Palace to contain other secret forces." ”

"Sunflower Palace? What does this have to do with those fox spirits? Why did the young master ask us to cooperate with them?" Hu Meiniang's tone was more impulsive, and she didn't seem to have a good impression of the people in Sunflower Palace.

Xue Yiren didn't care, but said with a smile: "Sunflower Palace is now attached to our young master, and it can be regarded as its own person, so don't be jealous." Sunflower Palace is one of the six sects of the underworld, and it will be more convenient for them to come forward for some things, and our bloody clothes are a secret move of the young master, and now is not the time for us to show up. Okay, you senior brothers have their own tasks, so I'll leave this matter to you. If you do this well, the young master will definitely benefit you. ”

Hu Meiniang was not very happy, but when she heard the young master's reward, she immediately rejoiced: "Master rest assured, Mei'er promises to complete the task." ”

"Mei'er can focus on the overall situation, and she is happy to be a teacher......" Groaning slightly, Xue Yiren nodded and said: "In this way, you can choose a few disciples with profound skills to help you cultivate, which can be regarded as a reward for your teacher." ”

"Really!" Hu Meiniang's face was full of surprise: "Thank you Master for your grace! Thank you Master for your grace!"

"Go, take care not to hurt their foundations. ”

"The disciple understands. ”

......

After Hu Meiniang left, the hall of the main hall suddenly became cold.

Xue Yiren sat silently for a moment, the thoughts in his eyes changed rapidly, and then he smiled coldly: "The world, the world is never the world, the world will always be respected by strength, you can, why can't I...... Hey, hey, hey!"

After reading it, Xue Yiren gently patted the mechanism on the stone chair, and the iron wall slowly turned...... Suddenly, a dark light swept through the hall and shot straight towards Xue Yi's heart!

......
