After using the powder to dissolve the hidden qi on his body, Shen Ling withdrew the sword, and swept away a sword qi, and the man spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out in an instant.

The man fell to the ground and asked unwillingly, "You, you said you spared my life?"

"I said to spare your life, but I didn't say that I wouldn't waste your cultivation," Shen Ling said coldly.

Shen Ling's sword qi directly abolished the man's cultivation, which was more painful than killing him, you must know that in the Ziqing Continent, nothing is more important than cultivation, and without cultivation is equivalent to losing dignity, status, and even the right to speak, and directly reduced to the lowest level of society.

"You, you're so ruthless," the man said in pain, his eyes full of unwillingness and coldness.

"I'm merciful compared to you," Shen Ling replied coldly, and then left the place with Qu Zhen'er.

Shen Ling took Qu Zhen'er to perform eight steps of Xuanyi, his figure was almost to the extreme, and when he reached a relatively quiet rooftop, he stopped.

Qu Zhen'er gasped lightly, looked at Shen Ling in confusion and said, "Why did you stop suddenly?"

Shen Ling took a deep breath and replied, "Because of creating an illusion." ”

didn't wait for Qu Zhen'er to return, he threw out another sentence: "Okay, let's turn back again," and then pulled Qu Zhen'er and flashed back directly.

And Qu Zhen'er didn't ask much, she now knew that Shen Ling didn't kill any man, but only abolished the reason for cultivation, that is, to lure the snake out of the hole.

Here, not long after Shen Ling and the others left, the man who had been abolished and cultivated struggled to get up and prepare to escape, but as soon as he got up and stood firm, there was a sword behind his back, and the long sword directly pierced his body.

The man turned around in despair, and when he saw the person who stabbed the sword clearly, he slowly spit out from his mouth: "It turned out, it turned out to be, it was you, too, too and..."

At this moment, next to the man's corpse, stood a figure, which was wrapped in black clothes and covered with a black veil, which was even more difficult to identify in the night.

But a deep voice sounded from the mouth of this figure: "For the next step, you must also die." ”

After speaking, the masked man in black took out a storage bag from his sleeve and threw it on the corpse, then looked around cautiously, and then flew up and headed towards the east of the imperial city.

In the dark, Shen Ling and Qu Zhen'er both saw the scene of the mysterious man just now, and both of them felt shocked in their hearts, not knowing why the mysterious man did this, but they also probably guessed something in their hearts, and from this deep voice, they could guess that this mysterious person must be an old person.

Seeing this mysterious person fleeing towards the night, Shen Ling immediately sent a voice to Qu Zhen'er: "Senior sister, you stay here, don't go away, I'll go back when I go." ”

Before the transmission ended, Shen Ling's figure had already flashed into the night, and it had long since disappeared, although Qu Zhen'er had a worried look on her face, she knew that Shen Ling was tracking the mysterious person, and she must be to find out the identity of the mysterious person.

Qu Zhen'er took a deep breath, all she could do now was to wait here for Shen Ling to come back and monitor every move at the scene, but the curiosity in her heart made her get up.

A figure leaped down and walked on guard towards the man's body, wanting to see what the mysterious man had left behind.

After Qu Zhen'er approached carefully, when she saw the storage bag on the corpse, she was immediately shocked, and what surprised her deeply was that the corners of this pure storage bag were clearly marked with the three words Taihezong, and she was shocked in her heart: "How can it be Taihezong, is someone trying to frame Taihezong? That mysterious person is not targeting Shen Ling?"

Putting away the doubts in her heart, Qu Zhen'er was about to pick up the storage bag to find out, when she suddenly remembered which hidden aura of the Bloodthirsty Alliance came to her heart, so she stopped her hand and used aura perception instead.

And this perception made her even more surprised, the pure storage bag was empty, there was nothing, and she sighed secretly again in her heart: "It seems that it is clearly framing Taihezong." ”

When he was thinking about himself, a group of figures in front of the night flashed towards this side, extremely fast, sensing all this, Qu Zhen'er's figure flashed back to the position where he had just hidden, and his eyes were staring at the field again.

After a while, another group of black-clothed masked men rushed over, and as soon as they arrived at the scene, a man led by a man said with a sad and angry expression: "It's a step too late." ”

Then he roared angrily: "Search me, search carefully, I want to see who has trouble with my bloodthirsty alliance." ”

After a search, all the masked men gathered around, and one of them handed the storage bag in his hand to the man in charge and said, "This was found on our people." ”

The man took the storage bag and looked at it for a moment, and then a puff of green smoke rose in his hand, only to hear a bang, and the storage bag became like pieces in his hand in an instant, which made several people around him retreat unconsciously.

The man in charge looked up to the sky and burst into words: "Taihe Sect, my bloodthirsty alliance will never die with you. ”

This roar was full of strength, which made Qu Zhen'er, who was hiding in the shadows, tremble in her heart, and said secretly in her heart: "Sure enough, it burned the fire to the Taihe Sect, and the person who can pinch the storage bag into pieces with one hand is definitely an unfathomable person, who will this person be?"

After the leader of the scene was furious, he collected the storage bags on each corpse and left in a hurry, and the scene returned to peace.

On the other side, Shen Ling lurked in the night all the way, using his powerful perception to barely keep up with the mysterious man in black, but he was afraid that he would notice, so the two opened a big distance.

By tracking Shen Ling all the way, he found that although this mysterious person went all the way east, along the way, he kept changing locations, zigzags back and forth, and the whole action was all weird, if it weren't for the strength of his own perception, I am afraid that he would have been thrown away from this person long ago.

However, to Shen Ling's surprise, although this person kept changing his route, the entire direction of progress was getting closer and closer to the center of Xundu.

Until finally, he saw that the mysterious figure actually flashed into the imperial city, which made Shen Ling puzzled, and finally stopped tracking, and there were many unknown thoughts in his heart: "Is this person a member of the royal family?"

Without stopping long, Shen Ling quickly turned back with doubts, because Qu Zhen'er was still at the scene, and he had to return immediately.

Along the way, there was no tracking target, and it was not the same way to return, but a shortcut was adopted, so in just a moment, Shen Ling's figure landed beside Qu Zhen'er.

As soon as she saw that it was Shen Ling returning, the trace of worry on Qu Zhen'er's face slowly stretched, and then she hurriedly asked Shen Ling, "Do you know who that person is?"

Shen Ling sighed, then looked at Qu Zhen'er and said, "This person entered the imperial city, so I didn't follow him again." ”

"Imperial City?"

Qu Zhen'er asked in surprise.

"Yes, that person's posture is very strange, constantly changing routes, what he is afraid of is that someone will follow him, and finally enter the imperial city," Shen Ling said what he saw and heard.

As he said that, he was about to float down, but Qu Zhen'er stopped him and told him everything that had just happened.

"Taihezong?"

"You said that the mysterious man was blamed on Taihezong?" Shen Ling said with a look of disbelief.

"Well," Qu Zhen'er nodded lightly, and then said, "Then the words Taihezong are stamped on the corner of the storage bag, and there is nothing in it." ”

After listening to Qu Zhen'er's speech, Shen Ling became more and more puzzled, his heart was full of doubts about what this old man had done, and simply thought about it, why did the people of the royal family frame Taihezong, and they intended to let the two major forces fight each other.

"I originally thought that this mysterious person would blame himself, but I didn't expect that he would blame Taihezong, whether he was intentionally helping himself, or this person had another purpose," Shen Ling secretly analyzed in his heart.

"What now?" Qu Zhen'er asked.

Being reminded by her, Shen Ling came back to his senses, and then replied directly: "Let's go back to Tianyi Restaurant," saying that the two of them were in a flash, and their figures disappeared into the night again.

After the two of them left, the corner of the place was silent again, everything was so calm again, except for the cold corpses on the ground, as if nothing had happened, surprisingly quiet, the wind was surprisingly drifting, everything was so strange and evil.

The next day, early in the morning, Moshan and Yuntong took ten people downstairs, and after a group of people finished breakfast in the restaurant, they took the lead in setting off.

And this Xundu martial arts arena is in the east of Daxun City, close to the center of the imperial city, where the crowd is the most right, and it is also the most popular place.

Shen Ling and the others walked through the city of Xundu, and after a while, they came to the vicinity of the martial arts arena, and as soon as they approached the martial arts arena, they could feel that the scene was a lively scene, and everyone was extremely excited in their hearts.

Through observation, Shen Ling found that the so-called martial arts arena refers to this square in the center of Xuncheng, which occupies a very large area.

The most striking thing is a circular platform in the middle of the square, which is about a battle high, and is connected with the square on all sides.

The whole circular platform is very large, and the stage is divided into ten areas, each of which has ten rings along the edge of the platform, so that it can be compared to how big the circular platform is.

And each ring is equidistant from each ring, which looks spectacular.

The space exposed in the middle of the platform is the waiting area for all the challengers, and this arrangement is also for the convenience of the challengers to complete the challenge, mainly to save time.

Around the platform, the first seat of several major sects has already been arranged, which is mainly prepared for the leaders of each faction.

However, one of the south-facing positions is not quite delicately arranged, and there is no doubt that it is the location of the royal family.

As the crowd became more and more lively, at this time, a silver-haired old man and a young man came out from the side of the platform, and a cold and glamorous woman followed by the silver-haired old man suddenly made Shen Ling stunned, because the woman was Lin Zhi, and she was also the person she was most familiar with, and said secretly in her heart: "No wonder I haven't seen her for so long, that old man should be a member of the royal family, could it be that Lin Zhi is too?"

The young man was dressed in gold, and he looked extremely noble, and after the scene, he sat directly on the rather delicate seat facing south, which made people guess his body.

The old man sat directly close to the south, and the people behind the old man made Shen Ling puzzled, it was actually a member of the Blood Saint Sect, and in a blink of an eye, he found two familiar figures, Xia E and Lei Ming were also in the crowd.

However, Lin Zhi came towards the Great Cloud Sect, and when she looked at Yun Tong and Mo Shan, she bowed her hand, and then followed behind Yun Tong.

Shen Ling looked at Wang Yan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Could it be that Sister Lin Zhi has arrived in Xundu so early?"

"He's here to help Uncle Ji," Wang Yan replied casually.

"Uncle Ji?"

"Is that the person sitting at the head of the Blood Saint Sect?" Shen Ling asked directly.

"That's right," Seeing that Shen Ling still had a trace of uncertainty, Wang Yan said again: "This Senior Uncle Ji is not only the first elder of the Blood Saint Sect, but also the first national teacher of my Daxun Country. ”

After a pause, he said: "And Senior Sister Lin Zhi is the person he cultivated single-handedly, but Senior Sister Lin finally chose the Great Cloud Sect, and it is precisely because of this relationship that the Great Cloud Sect has a lot of connections with this national teacher." ”

Hearing Wang Yan say this, Shen Ling probably knew about their relationship, and then, he learned from Wang Yan that the young man was Qu Zhengtian, the royal highness, and this person would inherit the emperor status of the Daxun country in the future.
