The night is like water, shrouding the hazy Taoist range, the moonlight is a little hazy, and suddenly a dark cloud floats in, completely covering the moon, as if the Taoist has fallen into complete darkness.

"Quack!"

Several frogs in the pond were chirping and sticking out their tongues to catch a mosquito hovering over the surface of the water and swallow it.

I don't know when an owl came in the air, it was extremely fast, it swooped down in an instant, and grabbed the frog, the frog was completely pierced by the owl's claws, and before it could even make a sound, it had already lost its life.

The owl swept across the water, its wings slammed into the sky, and the ripples were still rippling on the surface of the water because of the force of its flight.

"Are you ready?"

Not far from the pond, there was a pavilion, and at this time two men in black stood opposite.

One of the men in black seemed to be holding something in his hand, nodded at this time, did not speak, and turned into a black shadow and disappeared in an instant.

The other man in black squinted his eyes, smiled coldly in his heart, and secretly said that you will definitely die today, looking at the direction in which the other person disappeared, he couldn't help but sneer.

A night breeze blew, and although it was summer, it was still a little cold, so he tightened his shirt and turned around and left the place.

The location of this pavilion is so hidden that most people don't know about it, and only a few Taoists come here regularly.

The man in black, who left first, found a secret place, and after hiding what he was holding in his hand, he hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made a choice.

The other returned to his dwelling, and as soon as he opened the door, a young man met him and said:

"How's it going, Dad, is everything all right?"

The man in black glared at him, hurriedly made a silent gesture, grabbed his arm, and the two disappeared into a secret room.

That young man is Dao Chen's younger brother Dao Ran, and the man in black takes off his mask, and he is the seventh elder of the Taoist family, Dao Fenglin!

"You kid, why are you so uncomposed, if it is because you show your feet and fall short, you will always be pressed by Dao Chen!"

Dao Ran snorted coldly, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he said coldly:

"Even if I don't defeat Dao Chen today, sooner or later, one day, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Alas!"

Dao Feng Lin sighed heavily, not that Dao Ran was not strong, but that he Dao Chen was too strong, so strong that he would not leave a chance for anyone.

Even Mu Chaohua, who was in the body of the Nine Immortals, once said that although Dao Chen was not as famous as him, and even there was no Dao Chen among the top ten masters, his true strength was already on par with Mu Chaohua.

Not to mention that if a Dao Ran wants to surpass him, it is definitely even more difficult.

Being born in Taoism may be a great honor for others, because this is one of the most powerful families in the Land of Inheritance, they are born with an aura and will be treated with courtesy wherever they go.

But for Dao Ran, being born in Taoism is a nightmare, a nightmare that will not wake up.

His combat power is definitely not weak, and he can even rank in the top five of the younger generation, but he is still not enough in front of Dao Chen.

He has been like this since he was a child, and after a long time, he has been suppressed for a long time, and he will naturally explode, so there is today's scene.

His father, at a great cost, hired someone to assassinate Dao Chen.

The killer is not an outsider, he is also a member of his Taoist clan, only in this way can he be seamless, and no one else will notice it, there are many Taoist masters, if a strange aura suddenly appears, it will be immediately felt by everyone, not to mention assassinating Dao Chen, it is difficult to say whether he can leave alive.

After the killer put the reward that Dao Fenglin gave him, Dao Chen's residence left, and now Dao Chen is seriously injured, it is a good opportunity to do it, if you miss it, I am afraid it will be difficult to encounter it again.

Dao Fenglin is a calculating person, whether it is scheming or means, he can be regarded as a strong man, especially his ruthlessness, which makes people shudder, even if it is his nephew, he can still kill the killer.

However, he still underestimated Dao Chen, or Dao Chen at this moment, because Dao Chen has experienced life and death, coupled with the purpose of his return this time, he has seen the true attitude of everyone towards him, so he has already taken precautions.

The killer was a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he was his own people, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but when he thought of the reward that made his heart beat faster, it was all worth it.

"Dao Chen, if you want to blame it, blame you for being born in the Taoist family, blame you for being too dazzling!"

He said this in his heart, and he felt a lot more comfortable, and his speed was much faster.

Dao Chen was sitting in his room drinking tea at this time, looking up at the position at the door from time to time, with a smile on his face.

It's just that this smile penetrates people's bone marrow and makes those who see it creepy.

A gust of wind blew, Dao Chen's door was opened, and a black shadow stood there, not in a hurry, but approaching step by step.

Since he has made up his mind that he must kill Dao Chen, then he will enjoy this process, who is Dao Chen? The genius of Taoism has been the most dazzling person since he was a child, and there is nothing more comforting and satisfying than humiliating a genius.

"You're going to kill me?"

Dao Chen's face turned a little pale, and the hand holding the teacup in his hand trembled a little.

"Exactly!"

The man in black was not fast, he had to watch Dao Chen's despair in the face of death.

With the current distance between the two, he is already fully capable of killing Dao Chen in seconds, not to mention Dao Chen, who is injured.

"Why do you want to kill me? You are also a Taoist, why are you so ruthless?"

The man in black chuckled, stood still and did not continue forward, and said:

"Are you really stupid or fake, if you really die outside, do you know how many people will benefit? But you suddenly come back, how many people will be angered, and since it has reached this point today, then I might as well tell you that you will definitely die!"

The words have come to this point, and there is no need for Dao Chen to have good thoughts, since the person who came must him die, Dao Chen also had killing intent in his heart.

However, he didn't show it, but kept stepping back nervously, his eyes full of despair.

"Die!"

The black-clothed killer took a step, only a foot away from Dao Chen, and a sharp blade appeared in his hand, and he was about to throw it out.

At this time, Dao Chen suddenly laughed, the laughter was very terrifying, and the black-clothed killer couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"You...... Death is still a bluff!"

Saying this, the black-clothed killer did not choose to throw out the sharp blade in his hand, but continued to take two steps forward with it in his hand.

These two steps came to Dao Chen's body less than three feet in front of him, and the sharp blade in his hand was raised, and he was about to stab Dao Chen's chest.

Suddenly, a light curtain appeared, and a formation was completely activated at this time, this large array was carefully arranged by Shen Xingsoul, and ordinary people couldn't find it at all, but now it was completely activated.

There was a change in the big array, and the black-clothed killer was stunned and was about to retreat, when at this moment, a voice sounded.

"Ziwei Tianmu!"

Two purple rays of light instantly came to the man in black, and in just a few moments, he was completely imprisoned.

But after all, his cultivation was profound, and he had already broken free in an instant, and the sharp blade in his hand stabbed down violently.

However, this formation had already worked to the extreme, and the moment he stabbed it, the light was in full bloom, and then the light disappeared completely, and the killer inside also disappeared.

Shen Xingsoul stumbled a little, he was already injured, and he forcibly cast Ziwei Tianmu.

Dao Chen squinted his eyes, he seemed to have seen the end of this black-clothed killer.

Suddenly, in a certain house of this Taoist family, the light flashed, and the black-clothed killer suddenly appeared here, because he still maintained the action of stabbing, so the sharp blade in his hand did not stop.

"Bold!"

An angry shout came out, followed by a poof, the man in black was directly killed, and the person who killed him was the contemporary head of the Taoist family, Dao Fengzhi!

Dao Chen had already calculated all this, and what he asked Shen Xing Soul to lay down was actually a small teleportation formation, and the destination was the family master's bedroom.

When the killer continued to approach him, it was equivalent to stepping into the trap he had laid step by step, just waiting for him to fully enter the range of the formation, and then catching the short-term restraint of Shen Xing's soul Ziwei Tianmu and teleporting him to the family master's bedroom.

The master of the house, whose cultivation power is enough to be called earth-shattering, such a killer appearing beside him is completely self-defeating.

So, there was the scene just now, the black-clothed killer was killed with a palm, and he didn't understand what happened until he died.

Dao Feng was furious, the head of the dignified family was actually assassinated, he sat on the edge of the bed and kept shaking, and finally reached out and ripped off the mask of the man in black.

"Come on, gather all the Taoist clansmen for me, and see who this assassin is, and he has such courage. ”

He has a noble status, and it is impossible for him to know everyone in the family, and besides, there are some clansmen who are not descendants at all, so he is even less clear.

However, the assassination of the head of the family was definitely a major event that shocked the entire family, and no one dared to slack off, and they came to the council hall one after another.

The six elders of the family head of the first line, the three elders of Dao Chen's father's lineage, plus some of the elders of the clan with high morality, as well as Dao Chen and Dao Ran, all gathered here.

Dao Fenglin got the news and knew that something was wrong, that person was obviously going to assassinate Dao Chen, how could he provoke the head of the family, it was impossible for him not to know the road, there must be something strange in this.

Dao Chen was also paying attention to others, he wanted to see who was so eager to get rid of him, and actually sent a killer on the night he returned.

These elders are all well-informed, and at this time they all behaved more or less, some anxious, some angry.

Only Dao Ran, this is a child, not much in the city, he glanced at Dao Chen, his eyes were a little disappointed, and he didn't care too much about the assassination of the head of the family.

"Is it really you, my brother?"
