Heavy rain, bright red heart.
Xiao Zi stood on the spot blankly, watching helplessly as Lao Yu's huge body fell down.
Then, Xiao Zi finally saw the fox mask.
He looked back at her.
The rain was winding on the mask, and the vision was distorted by refraction. The whole world seemed to be exuding a strange coldness.
Xiao Zi felt a bone-chilling chill, and the rain seemed to turn into frost.
So cold.
So cold!
Xiao Zi shivered, and her consciousness finally returned to her body, so she finally felt the ultimate fear.
"ah!"
In the silent night, in the deserted streets, in the miserable wind and rain, Xiao Zi sat paralyzed next to Lao Yu's body and screamed loudly.
…
Huang Songcheng woke up at the third watch.
The guests from far away are leaving.
When the city was full of reconnaissance cavalry, Ling Xiao was walking in the vast wilderness.
He held the jade embroidery knife horizontally in the rain, letting the rain wash away the blood on the blade. The smooth blade vaguely reflected his expressionless face.
He is very calm.
Extraordinarily calm.
It seemed as if what he had just killed was not a person, but a pig or a dog.
"First."
Ling Xiao let out a laugh.
The rain hits my face, it feels so cool and refreshing.
The pleasure of revenge filled his heart, but it was fleeting, followed by a huge emptiness.
In the case of Qingfengguan's death, Lao Yu was just a character who added insult to injury. Killing him would not be enough to quell Ling Xiao's hatred.
Ma Ying, Xiao Weiyu, Zifengtai...
He wanted the initiator of all this to taste the pain and hatred that Qingfengguan had experienced!
He swore.
"Tao can be said, but it is not Tao. Names can be named, but they are not named. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth; the named mother of all things..."
In the pouring rain and the howling wind, he recited it loudly with a smile, as if he wanted to convey his voice to every corner of the Three Realms.
…
Come back.
It's dawn.
The gate of Linfeng City has been taken over by the troops from the Prince's Palace, and all monks who come and go are strictly checked.
People gathered not far away, looking in the direction of the city gate in surprise and uncertainty, wondering what happened.
"Even Xiao Pingsheng was alarmed. What is going on?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"..."
At the gate of the city, Xiao Pingsheng, Hong Baotou and other experts at the ninth level of Qi refining were among them.
Now there was a hint of worry on the faces of these two people, which made the monks watching from a distance even more imaginative.
If you ask what happened, you have to start from the third update last night.
Five hours ago, Linfeng City suddenly received an urgent message from the Songshan Sword Sect, requesting all towns and cities to urgently block the city gates to prevent the two evil cultivators from entering the city.
One is a monk who is wrapped in white light and has the seventh level of Qi refining. The other is a monk wearing a fox mask. His cultivation level is unknown. It is speculated that he is at the ninth level of Qi refining.
Apart from the general appearance and cultivation level, the Songshan Sword Sect's message did not include any more information. However, this urgent message was sent by Beiliang Kingdom's special express. Unless a major incident occurred, it would not be possible to use it. !
The investigation has been going on for several hours, but no suspicious person has been found so far. Chief Hong feels that he is doing something useless, and he can't help but feel a little helpless.
Since we need cooperation from all towns, we should provide more information!
"My lord, what are the backgrounds of these two people that the Songshan Sword Sect is looking for? They actually used urgent cases..." Hong Captou was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask.
The county prince's mansion, which has eyes and ears all over the place, must know something that he doesn't know.
But he was disappointed. Xiao Pingsheng's answer was very simple, with only three words: "I don't know."
Whether it is true ignorance or false ignorance, only God knows.
suddenly!
Hong Shaotou's eyes narrowed.
I saw a strange person walking slowly on the muddy official road in the wilderness.
This man did not hold an umbrella. He seemed to have just experienced a violent storm and was soaked to the skin. However, he walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was walking in his own garden.
Hong Captou sensed a strange loneliness from this figure.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier between heaven and earth, forcibly isolating this person from the world around him. From then on, no words or glances were allowed.
Xiao Pingsheng also noticed this person and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As this person approached, people at the scene finally saw clearly who he was.
"Ling Xiao?"
Xiao Pingsheng was surprised and rushed to greet him.
"Brother Ling, why are you soaked in water?" Xiao Pingsheng stopped Ling Xiao and asked with a smile.
There was a hint of teasing in his smile.
Mr. Hong followed suit and looked at Ling Xiao warily. He was secretly shocked when he discovered that Ling Xiao was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Looking back on the first time we met, Ling Xiao was just a casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and was in great distress due to the assassination of the Red Clothes Sect.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Ling Xiao's cultivation level would soar like a rocket. By now, he was no weaker than him!
This guy really has a bright future. No wonder he was so mysterious back then...
Hong Baotou sighed inwardly, but he noticed Ling Xiao looking towards him. He couldn't help but shuddered, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ling, long time no see."
Ling Xiao's gaze was as sharp as a needle or a sword, causing the atmosphere at the scene to suddenly freeze.
The detectives all looked wary, and some even reached into their storage bags, secretly on guard.
Everyone knew what Ling Xiao's eyes meant.
In the case of Qingfengguan's death, the police officers present had brutally attacked Ling Xiao's fellow disciples, destroying their cultivation. Only Ling Xiao was taken away by Madam Panlong and escaped the disaster.
Although the detectives were acting under orders, there was no guarantee that Ling Xiao would blame them for this!
This person is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining!
What's more important is that behind him, there seems to be Mrs. Panlong's support. This ancestor doesn't even give Zifengtai face, will he care about these policemen?
Fortunately, Ling Xiao just glanced at Hong Baotou coldly and said: "I suddenly had an enlightenment during my practice last night, so I went out for a walk around the city. But why did Brother Xiao gather so many people?"
He asked knowingly.
Xiao Pingsheng smiled and said: "I don't know why the Songshan Sword Sect went crazy last night, and asked us to cooperate in the search for two evil cultivators. Since Brother Ling has been out all night, have you seen anyone suspicious?"
"I don't know." Ling Xiao replied coldly, with a sudden evil smile, "Brother Xiao, why don't you ask the officials? Ling happens to be the evil cultivator they stamped. What do you think? Do you want to take me back?"
He held out his hands.
Mr. Hong's expression changed, and he knew that he was still grudges about what happened at the beginning.
Xiao Pingsheng laughed dryly and said: "Brother Ling is joking, Xiao doesn't know who you are?" As he said this, he took off his robe and wanted to put it on Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao waved his hand to block Xiao Pingsheng's overtures and said calmly: "If nothing happens, I'll go home. I wish you all good luck in your work and catch all the suspicious people in the world, hehe..."
