On the altar where the limbs were entwined, a faint red light fluttered. Looking through the light, there was a string of bracelets inside.
The bracelet is made of gold, like intertwined wheat ears, dotted with fine leaves, and the most eye-catching thing is a red agate inlaid on it.
"Is this bracelet responsible for so many lives?" Lu Chen was a little confused. This bracelet did not make him feel evil, but full of holiness.
Lu Chen subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingertips were about to touch, a voice sounded from behind, "Don't touch it, or your consciousness will be contaminated."
He stopped and looked back, only to see Ning Xiaochan walking up, "If I'm not mistaken, that thing is contaminated with the aura of the evil god. Ordinary people will die if they touch it, so it can only be stored in a special way."
She turned her gaze to Hu Yue. The body had been pierced through the lower abdomen, the upper body was cut open, and it fell in a pool of blood. It was already lifeless.
Although she had made assumptions after seeing Lu Chen's body, when she saw Hu Yue's body, her pupils could not help but shrink and her face was full of surprise.
This was the former deputy commander of the Zhiguai Division, a great master above the bloodline level. It was really unbelievable that he died in Lu Chen's hands like this.
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Chen again. Unknowingly, this villager in Daoxiang Village already had the strength to kill people in the bloodline realm.
What's more important is that he is only seventeen years old. This kind of talent, which can be called a monster, is also very good in Fucheng, a place where dragons and tigers dominate.
"You're here just in time, hurry up and ask the spirit. I want to know the purpose of Hu Yue's ceremony." Lu Chen came closer. Lord Cha must be behind this incident.
If we could ask about the purpose of the ceremony, we might be able to figure out what Mr. Cha is planning in Liangshan County.
Ning Xiaochan shook her head, "To use Wen Ling against Hu Yue, you must at least be at the bloodline level, otherwise you will suffer backlash, and I can't do it."
"According to what you say, unless Commander Cheng comes here..." Lu Chen frowned. He didn't know Commander Cheng's comfort at the moment. Even if he could get away and come, it might be too late.
The best time to ask the spirit is within a quarter of an hour after the death of the person. If too much time has passed, basically nothing can be asked.
At this time, Ning Xiaochan started rummaging around Hu Yue's body and muttered: "Where did this guy put his things? He can't use them anymore, right?"
This reminded Lu Chen that the reason why she participated in this mission was to get something back from Hu Yue.
"Here, I finally found it." Ning Xiaochan took out something from Hu Yue's sleeve, which was a bead the size of an eyeball strung with a red rope.
The bead was completely black, but there was a red flower pattern in the center. Ning Xiaochan played with it for a moment and then accepted it.
Because of the order from the commander-in-chief, Lu Shen did not stop him, but asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Secret." Ning Xiaochan was in a particularly good mood, her eyes curved into crescents under the candlelight, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She looked at Lu Chen with her smart eyes and said with a sly smile: "It's you, I'm afraid the reward this time will be particularly generous."
At this time, dense footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Lei Yang and others were seen running quickly to the top of the building with knives in their hands.
The few monsters downstairs had been cleaned up by the team. They immediately thought of Lu Shen, so they tried their best to come to help.
After all, Hu Yue is a master in the bloodline realm. Even if Commander Cheng tried his best last time, he did not leave the opponent behind, but was injured instead.
Although everyone was aware of the battle on the rooftop just now, they were still worried about the safety of the road team.
"Road team, we are here to support you. Commander Cheng will be here soon." Lei Yang shouted upstairs. Commander Cheng naturally did not arrive. He hoped to put pressure on Hu Yue.
"Why is it so quiet? Did something happen to the team?" Xu Yan couldn't help but slow down. There was no fighting on the rooftop, and he couldn't help but think of the worst outcome.
Could it be that the thief Hu Yue killed the road team and fled after completing the ceremony?
After listening to Xu Yan's words, everyone in the team looked very nervous. They quickened their pace and jumped to the last floor.
With a clang, Lei Yang's black sword was unsheathed, but when he saw Lu Chen who was intact, he was startled and asked, "Team Lu, where is that thief Hu Yue?"
"Team Lei, over there." Ding Yu pulled his sleeve awkwardly, Lei Yang turned around and saw a body lying not far away, it was Hu Yue.
Sounds of air-conditioning were heard silently, and everyone's eyes were turned to Ning Xiaochan and Lu Chen opposite.
Ning Xiaochan smiled and said: "What I saw was the same as you when I came here. Don't look at me. I don't know the specific situation."
In an instant, everyone looked at the young man opposite.
…
By the Qingbo River, a white-haired man stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Babao Tower in the distance.
He was listening to something with a slight smile in the corners of his eyes. He wore a bone bracelet on his right hand, which connected the skulls of unknown beasts.
While listening, he turned the skull on the bracelet at will, and his smiling eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and see the situation on the Babao Tower.
There was a man in a cloak next to him. He bowed his head and spoke in a low, slightly aged voice, "Sir, do I need to take it back?"
He sounded like he was about forty years old. When he lowered his head, a strand of gray hair fell. His right hand was covered with tattoos, and when he opened it, he could clearly see it was a tiger's head.
Lord Cha glanced at the man and said, "No need, you see they are so happy, why go up and spoil the fun."
"But our plan may not be able to continue without divine items." The man was a little surprised and quickly reminded him.
Master Zha turned the skull on the bracelet with a smile on his face, "Who said we don't have divine items? That's just a pretense."
The man was startled, so why did he make such a big show tonight, killing hundreds of people, and even sacrificing Hu Yue, just to confuse Zhiguisi?
He raised his head slightly and looked at the man with a warm smile. He felt a chill in his heart and the hairs on his body stood up.
"It's not completely useless, it's just a backup plan." Mr. Zha thought for a while and then said, "That boy named Lu Chen, you can play with him next."
He looked back at Babaolou, with a curve on his lips, "Focus on his strength and qualifications. Maybe he will become our new partner."
"I don't know how far we have to go?" the cloaked man asked.
"You don't have to hold back, just increase the difficulty of the test and do it to your death." Master Zha walked under the bridge, the breeze blowing his snow-white hair, and his eyes narrowed.
"If he can survive, he may be qualified to become the next me."
His posture was relaxed and comfortable, as if he were walking on the street, stepped into the thick darkness, and disappeared in an instant.
The man in the cloak pondered his last words, and his tone sounded a bit dangerous, "Since you are going to kill someone, it wouldn't be too much to leave a whole body."
He looked at the direction Master Cha was leaving, his voice became hoarse, and he murmured, "This position is mine, whoever touches it will die."
…
Dang Dang Dang!
Fire splattered everywhere, and the sound of hammering continued one after another.
Crow jumped into the air, turned around and swung his scimitar to block the black iron ruler that was cutting across him. He backed away like a bird, "What are you still insisting on? Maybe all your team members will die."
His words were joking and his eyes were full of ridicule, "There are four of us in the bloodline realm, and your subordinates will die if they meet us."
"You don't think you'll win without seeing the result?" Cheng Bai held his left hand empty, and the water filled the air under the night sky, forming a wave and drowning the crow.
Tsk... A large amount of water evaporated, forming a thick white mist. Two air-piercing sounds sounded in succession, and black light rotated through the mist.
Cheng Bai shook the black iron ruler and heard two crisp sounds. The black light was bounced off and the courtyard walls on both sides collapsed. "If something happens to these people, I will chase you to the ends of the earth."
"Hey, aren't you very confident? It seems you don't have much confidence." The crow spun around, broke through the mist, and landed lightly on the ground with a playful look.
"Who just said firmly that I believe that the road will sink..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, listening to something, and then he was a little surprised, and seemed to refute the other party, "What nonsense are you talking about, that is the four bloodline realms!
"Hu Yue, who uses the flesh and blood method, can quickly catch up with the strength of the fifth level of bloodline. Genius? Fuck you!"
Listening to the other party's explanation, Crow's tone became unpleasant, and he waved his blade angrily. The three bloodline realm sent out were all his subordinates who he had personally trained.
However, the person on the other side said that these people were all killed by the boy named Lu Chen, which he could not believe.
"Those are three bloodline masters. They think this is killing fish in the fish market. They put it on the chopping board and it clicks with a knife?!"
"It was you who investigated before. That Lu Chen didn't break through the bloodline realm. Are you fucking trying to blame me now?" Crow was furious, seeming to hold him accountable.
"Those are the talents I worked so hard to cultivate, not cabbage in the field. Calm down, I'm so cold to your mother's little brat, how can you still be calm without your right and left arm?"
Crow tugged at his collar and spat, only to find that Cheng Bai disappeared in the distance, "Damn it!"
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly flew back. At the same time, the scimitar was moved forward. Then there was a bang, and the black iron ruler pressed down on the scimitar and struck him hard in the abdomen.
"Ugh~" The crow was beaten until he vomited blood, knocked down the far wall, and raised a large amount of dust.
Cheng Bai flew in pursuit and broke through the smoke, but he only saw a few traces of blood on the ground. In the distance, under the night sky, a figure was leaping rapidly.
The black iron ruler fell to the ground, Cheng Bai exhaled heavily, looked in the direction of the Babao Tower, and murmured: "He actually did it?"
At the age of seventeen, he already had bloodline realm cultivation and killed four bloodline realm masters, including the former deputy commander of the Zhiguai Department, Hu Yue, who was almost at the fifth level of bloodline. This kind of talent...
"Liangshan County is too small for him. Maybe he can try the opportunity in Fucheng..." Cheng Bai muttered to himself and flew towards the Babao Tower.
