"Okay, I've said everything I want to say."
The leader of the human altar patted his chest with a fan, still with a faint smile on his cheeks.
"Next, we can talk about your affairs."
"Manager Yang, you are such a good person, why do you want to break into the center of our sect?"
"Did you know that trespassing into the stronghold of the Guilty Cult will only lead to death!"
As he spoke, his whole body's aura suddenly burst out. There was an extreme gloominess and coldness in that forbidding aura, which made people feel their scalp numb instantly.
And this aura made Yang Dong suddenly understand the gap between himself and the other party.
Just as he was about to mobilize the energy and blood in his body, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
Yang Dong lowered his head in confusion, but saw a silver needle pierced into his chest at some point.
"Okay, I have something to do today, so I don't have time to play with you."
The leader of the human altar gently shook his feather fan, still looking like a scholar.
But Yang Dong found clues from his feather fan. Through the tiny holes on the lupine fan bone, it is obvious that the silver needle shot out from these holes.
It has to be said that the craftsmen under the Guild Cult do have a group of real talents.
It's just a pity...
"Xiao Dongzi, are you okay?"
This time, it was Wan Yanyue's turn to panic. She suddenly hugged Yang Dong from behind, her eyes full of worry.
It was obvious that Yang Dong came here just to save her.
Otherwise, he would not have ventured into the stronghold of the sect!
The leader of the human altar looked at Wan Yanyue, who had an anxious look on his face, but the smile on his cheeks became stronger and stronger.
"Yes, yes, it seems that the relationship between the two of you is surprisingly deep."
"But this is fine. When it comes time to sacrifice, the more intense the emotions between you, the more luck will be stirred up."
At this point, he flipped his wrist slightly. The next moment, the silver needle on Yang Dong's chest, as if it had eyes, flew back into the hand of the altar master with a "swish".
"Okay, don't worry about your man. He just had his heart blocked by me, so there's nothing serious for the time being. Don't worry, even if it's not for you, I will still consider the ceremony. The emotional bond between you two , will be the most anticipated moment of the ceremony!”
At this point, the face of the leader of the human altar has become twisted to the point of going crazy. He is completely different from the gentle scholar before.
Wan Yanyue never said a word from beginning to end.
She looked at the unconscious Yang Dong in her arms, her eyes surprisingly soft.
She smiled lightly, and at this moment, her smile was so happy.
"It's good now. You have finally become my princess's consort. It's not a loss for you to die with me."
After saying this, Wan Yanyue looked at the master of the human altar and said word by word:
"I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Oh? What's the big deal? Why don't you come and listen?"
The leader of the human altar asked with interest.
"After Xiaodongzi and I are sacrificed, I hope you can bury us together."
"That's it, it's easy to talk about!"
The leader of the human altar regained his appearance as an elegant scholar.
But at this moment, Wan Yanyue only felt extremely disgusting...
…
Inside Guyu Pass,
Among the only inns,
The old housekeeper and the head of the Xu family sat face to face, but their expressions were surprisingly solemn.
"Old senior, my people searched the entire Guyuguan Pass, but found no trace of Yang Dong. Do you think... could he have been tied into the dungeon by the Houjin people, or escorted directly there? Where’s the gold after you get it?”
Hearing this, the old housekeeper frowned and then shook his head.
"According to the information I received, no one has returned to Houjin recently. Moreover, I have already arranged for people to investigate over there in the dungeon. Unfortunately, no trace of Yang Dong and his party was found either."
As soon as these words came out, both sides fell into silence.
After making an appointment for a cup of tea, the two of them suddenly spoke:
"So... Yang Dong is most likely hiding outside Guyu Pass, waiting for opportunities?"
At this moment, the old housekeeper and the head of the Xu family felt somewhat like heroes.
So they immediately gave the order and left Guyu Pass with their men. Then, with Guyuguan as the center of the circle, they began to search for traces of Yang Dong and his party.
Soon, they found a clue.
It's just that... the clue is not related to Yang Dong, but to Houjin Cavalry.
The secret guard under the old housekeeper returned first, knelt on one knee in front of him, and opened his mouth to report:
"Master Steward, we found the bodies of a group of Houjin Cavalry ten miles ahead. They seemed to have encountered a strong enemy. They were all killed with one blow, and... all their tongues were cut out."
"Is this happening!?"
The old housekeeper frowned deeply and subconsciously looked at the head of the Xu family beside him.
The head of the Xu family also had questions on his face, not knowing what to say.
"Old senior, do you think there is a possibility that the death of this Houjin cavalry was caused by Yang Dong and his party? After all, he came to Youzhou probably to delay Houjin's attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"As for the harassment outside Guyu Pass, although it has little effect and is better than nothing, it is still a good effort. After returning to the capital, it will be easier to deal with the little emperor. And those tongues are evidence that he killed the enemy."
When the old housekeeper heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said without comment:
"We are not in a hurry to draw a conclusion on this matter. We might as well use this Houjin Cavalry as a clue to start investigating the traces of Yang Dong and his party. As long as we find him, why do we need to analyze it?"
When the head of the Xu family heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"The old man hit the nail on the head, which is admirable. In that case, let's use this as a clue to investigate!"
…
So, outside Guyu Pass,
A bloody storm is gradually unfolding.
This time, the first ones to notice the abnormality were the people from the Xu family.
After first sending out a scout team but no news was heard, the head of the Xu family sent out three more search and rescue teams, but still no one came back.
At this time, it attracted the attention of both the Xu family and the old housekeeper.
They all agreed that the other party was probably Yang Dong and his party.
So, they divided into two parts, light and dark, and moved towards the direction where the Xu family's scout disappeared.
Soon, the team in the bright area was attacked by a team of men in black.
However, the appearance of this team of men in black made the old housekeeper and the head of the Xu family take a breath of cold air.
For no other reason than this team of men in black are actually all warriors!
Although most of them are just beginners in martial arts, even so, they are much stronger than ordinary people!
