Chapter 13: True Identity
Murong Yue led people to search in the courtyard for a while, but they didn't even see Liu Ao's figure.
Murong Yue stomped his feet in anger, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
As the granddaughter of Murong Yu, the vice president of Jiuding Academy, she is one of the super geniuses of Jiuding Academy, and she has been obsessed with cultivation over the years and has never had intimate contact with any man.
But now, he has lost his innocence inexplicably.
"Adulter, don't let me find you," Murong Yue shouted: "Otherwise, I will kill you!"
In the dark, Liu Ao's eyes trembled, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Late at night, the courtyard fell silent again.
Liu Ao climbed the courtyard wall with his waist and turned over to the outside of the courtyard.
Qingshi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Liu Ao coming out, he turned around and lowered his voice and said:
"Follow me!"
Half an hour later, the two stopped outside another mansion, their figures hidden in the darkness.
Qingshi chuckled at this time, "Are you afraid of cats?"
"Laugh ass!"
Liu Ao glanced at Qingshi, "Don't you think that furry things are terrifying?"
Bluestone: "ยทยทยท"
"How does it feel to hide in the latrine?"
Liu Ao was not surprised at all that Qingshi knew where he was hiding, pointed to the courtyard in front of him, and frowned:
"Where is this? Is the secret way out of the city you said right here?"
Qingshi did not answer, but took Liu Ao to the back of the courtyard and climbed over the wall to enter.
At this time, it was already late at night, but there were still many soldiers patrolling the courtyard.
The two of them turned around, avoiding everyone and coming to a heavily guarded courtyard.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion, and this is Li Tianba's treasure house. โ
Liu Ao's eyes lit up, "The secret passage is here?"
Qingshi nodded, and his expression gradually became solemn, "As far as I know, in addition to a dozen soldiers in the martial artist realm, there is also an intermediate great martial artist guarding here, let's be careful not to alarm that great martial artist." โ
As he spoke, he saw Qingshi take out a thumb-sized bamboo tube from his arms and gently throw it towards the yard.
Liu Ao's eyes lit up, "Ecstasy smoke, where did you get it?"
Qingshi still didn't answer, and after waiting for a while, he saw the guards at the gate of the courtyard fall to the ground one after another.
Needless to say, Liu Ao and Qingshi jumped into the inner courtyard at the same time.
The courtyard is not large, surrounded by three houses, and at this time there are already a dozen soldiers lying on the ground, and the house facing the gate of the courtyard is still lit by candlelight.
The two of them lowered their steps to the door, stabbed the window paper and looked inside.
I saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on the futon in the center of the room, his eyebrows and eyes were closed, and there was a milky white spiritual power flickering around his body.
Qingshi poked Liu Ao's shoulder and pointed to the room on the right.
Liu Ao understood, cautiously turned around and came to the door of this room, and only pushed the door in after making sure that there was no mechanism on the door.
Bluestone followed.
There are dozens of shelves in the room, and each shelf is full of strange objects.
There are beautiful swords, armor that is strong at first sight, and some beautiful jade and gold stones that are very valuable.
Qingshi and Liu Ao's gazes fell on something the size of a thumb that emitted a milky white halo at the same time.
"Spirit Stone!"
Qingshi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pocketed this spirit stone.
Liu Ao smiled unhesitantly, picked up the armor casually, and asked in a low voice:
"Don't be greedy, where is the secret passage?"
Qingshi looked left and right, and suddenly reached out and twisted a three-legged black tripod on a certain shelf.
I heard a few 'clicks', and a black hole slowly appeared in the wall.
But Liu Ao and Qingshi were nervous at the same time.
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard a loud shout outside, and there was a sound of breaking the air outside the door.
Liu Ao's pupils shrank, and he kicked on the waist of Qingshi, who was about to go out to meet the enemy, and kicked him into the secret passage.
Liu Ao followed closely, and half of his body had already entered the entrance.
The "bang" door was violently kicked open, and the next moment, there was a creepy coolness behind him.
Liu Ao glanced at it, only to see a fist-sized meteor hammer full of black spikes smashed into his back, this meteor hammer was linked by a three-zhang long pitch-black chain, and the other end was holding an old man's hand.
"You're dead!"
The old man was the middle-level great martial artist who was guarding this courtyard, and at this moment, his face was full of anger, and with a flick of his wrist, the meteor hammer at the end of the chain shot out a black light.
It turned out that those black spikes on the meteor hammer shot out, and they were about to pierce Liu Ao's back.
"Jingle Bell~"
Liu Ao slammed Shunlai's armor behind him, blocking the spikes.
But the huge force still carried Liu Ao forward, and disappeared into the darkness all of a sudden.
The old man scolded angrily and rushed in.
But he didn't run a few steps, and the old man's heart jumped violently.
Before he could react, a wave of scorching air came from the surface, and a red light instantly slashed towards the old man.
With the red light, the old man only saw Liu Ao's eyes full of indifference.
This represents absolute calmness and perfect fighting condition.
The old man didn't have time to think about it, so he raised his arms and blocked it.
Just when the old man thought that his arms would be cut off, the red light suddenly dissipated, and the heat wave disappeared.
When I looked again, there was no one in front of me.
The old man was covered in cold sweat, and his eyelids jumped, "It's so dangerous, I almost planted it." โ
At that moment, the old man had already determined Liu Ao's cultivation, a junior great martial artist.
"Hmph!" the old man's eyes were cold, "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to throw yourself in." โ
Liu Ao and Qingshi didn't know that this secret passage had just been transformed into another use not long ago, and at the end, what was waiting for Liu Ao was a greater crisis.
In the secret passage, Liu Ao and Qingshi gasped and ran wildly.
Suddenly, a dim light appeared in front of me.
Qingshi's face changed, if it was a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, how could there be a light at the end?
What's more, under the light, two or three shadows are flickering.
"Someone!"
Liu Ao reacted quickly and pulled the bluestone against the wall.
But the footsteps have already alarmed the people inside.
"Who!"
ใ
With a low roar, I saw three figures burst out.
Their breath was thick, bloody, and their faces were full of murderous energy.
Qingshi's face changed: "Three junior great martial artists." โ
"You withdraw first, I'll block it for you!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Ao roared and had already rushed forward.
According to the momentum of the other party, Liu Ao judged that these three should all be junior martial artists, two to three, not necessarily not to fight!
The three of them were also stunned, they didn't expect Liu Ao to take the initiative to attack.
Two of the three use a knife and one uses a sword.
The two people with knives attacked Liu Ao on the left and on the right.
The moment the two long knives and the proud sword came into contact, two gaps were cut, the temperature rose sharply, and the blade was red, and it was about to melt immediately.
The two men's eyes widened, and they screamed in horror at the same time:
"Evil Soldier!"
Liu Ao frantically pulled the spiritual power in the vein seed into the sword of Ao, and the blood-colored sword light flashed, slashing at one of them again.
Seeing that Liu Ao was using the sword as a sword, this person instantly judged that Liu Ao did not understand swordsmanship, so he sneered, threw away the long knife in his hand that melted in half, and retreated to the secret room of Liangtang.
Feeling an aura of rapid approach, the other two also retreated.
Liu Ao's heart tightened, knowing that the old man had already caught up.
"What did you say you were soft-hearted just now!"
Qingshi let out a low roar, attracting Liu Ao's eyes, "I want to know that there are three great martial artists here, so I won't follow you in, what's the use of talking about this now?"
Qingshi's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and rushed into the secret room with Liu Ao.
If you are blocked in the secret passage, you will surely die!
Soon, the old man appeared and blocked the passage.
The four of them stood in all directions, surrounding Liu Ao's bluestones back to back in the middle.
The old man's eyes were cold, "You are looking for death by yourselves, saying, who sent you!"
Liu Ao was at a loss when he was asked this, but when he looked at the woman lying on the stone bed in the corner of the secret room, Liu Ao already had a guess in his heart.
Qingshi also understood that he and Liu Ao had stumbled into something they shouldn't have seen.
"Who do you say we sent!" Qingshi's face suddenly turned grim, and his eyes were cold, "You have caught people who shouldn't be arrested, wait, in less than three days, all of you will die!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face instantly turned gloomy, "Since you know, then we can't live, you go and die first!"
As he spoke, the old man swung the meteor hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Qingshan.
Liu Ao swung his sword and directly cut off the chain!
"Stop!" Liu Ao snorted coldly and glared at Qingshi fiercely, "Miss's safety is important. โ
As he spoke, Liu Ao gritted his teeth and looked at the old man, "If you want to live, let's make a deal." โ
The old man was silent for a moment, "You say." โ
"You should be clear about your situation," Liu Ao said slowly, "We are just here to investigate the situation, and the master will arrive later, not to mention you, even Li Tianba will not survive." โ
"Even if you kill us first, you won't be able to save your own lives. โ
"However," Liu Ao's voice changed, "as long as you cooperate with us to rescue people, you can atone for your crimes, not only will you not be punished, but you will also be rewarded with a large sum!"
"Elder Zhou, don't listen to this kid's nonsense," the middle-aged man with the sword roared in a low voice:
"Xia Wan is not only a disciple of Jiuding Academy, but also the eldest lady of the Xia family, the Xia family is famous and will be retributed, they can't let us go!"
Xia family Xia Wan!
Liu Ao and Qingshi glanced at each other, and they both looked at the shock in each other's eyes.
The Xia family that can make these people so frightened must be the Xia family, one of the top families in Qingzhou!
The Xia family has a history of thousands of years, and it is said that the ancestor of the Xia family once had a martial artist, which was an existence above the strong man of the Martial Emperor.
To this day, the Xia family is also a giant, and even the Demon Suppression Army maintains a cooperative relationship with them.
Because, the Xia family is based on alchemy!
In the entire Qingzhou, more than 50% of the high-grade pills came from the Xia family.
Also, half a year ago, the Xia family suddenly released news that Xia Wan was missing, and those who had clues would be rewarded with 10,000 spirit stones.
Liu Ao also knows this news.
Looks like
Elder Zhou's eyes sank, "Boy, do you think I'll be deceived by your words?"
"I can't live, and you must die too!"
Liu Ao's heart sank to the bottom, but he still said:
"See this sword in my hand?"
Elder Zhou snorted coldly, "Evil soldier, I'm afraid that you won't be able to use it again, kill you, I may not be able to escape with this sword." โ
"Then do you know why I have this evil soldier and who I am?"
Liu Ao's eyes were cold, "Qingshi, tell him, who am I!"
Qingshi was stunned and reacted quickly, "Young Master, do you really want to reveal your true identity?"
Liu Ao nodded, "Tell them." โ
Qingshi's eyes were sharp, and his voice was full of arrogance, "Then let's have a showdown, don't pretend, my son-in-law is the young master of the Xia family, Xia Bufan!"
