Walking into the rainy night, the cool wind carried the raindrops, and the depression of the hot summer dissipated. Ling Xiao swayed slowly, enjoying the comfort.
The monks passing by were all in a hurry, with tired, gloomy, and worried expressions alternately showing on their faces.
Ling Xiao's leisurely attitude was incompatible with the tense atmosphere on the street.
However, no one noticed Ling Xiao.
Compared with the recent major events, Ling Xiao, the "suspected evil cultivator", has long been less important.
Not just this street, but the entire city is in a state of tension.
The news of Xiao Yue's death shocked the entire Northern Liang Kingdom and even the neighboring countries.
The subsequent disclosure of the assassination process shocked countless people to the point of chills all over their bodies.
At Prince Xiao's wedding banquet, in front of all the guests and hosts, and even under the eyes of several foundation-building monks, the murderer chopped off Xiao Yue's head with one knife and escaped calmly!
Even after that, the Xiao family and the foundation-building monks who were present came out to investigate, but they didn't even touch the corner of the murderer's clothes!
After the incident was reported back to the imperial capital, the government and the public were furious!
The imperial court directly offered a sky-high price reward of 500,000 spiritual stones in the hope that insiders would provide information about the murderer.
Gongsun Lie, the head of the Songshan Sword Sect, also offered a reward of 100,000 spirit stones. According to him, the murderer of Xiao Yue used the same magical weapon as the murderer of Lao Yu before.
This incident undoubtedly caused an uproar again.
Only then did people realize that it was not the first time the murderer committed a crime!
Lao Yu, Xiao Yue!
One is a contemporary master of Talisman, and the other is the apple of the emperor's eye. They are usually influential figures, but within just one month, they were assassinated one after another.
The murderer used ruthless and ruthless techniques to trample the dignity of the Xiao family and Songshan Sword Sect under his feet!
For a moment, the monks from the Northern Liang Kingdom changed their expressions when talking about Ci.
There is currently no pattern in the murderer's assassination targets. Those in high positions are suddenly in a state of panic, fearing that it will be their turn next.
Speculation about the identity of the murderer has intensified.
The first target of suspicion must be the Red Sect, an organization famous for its "assassinations".
The Red Clothes Sect immediately announced to the world that the murderer who assassinated Lao Yu and Xiao Yue had nothing to do with the Red Clothes Sect. Bai Xiang was also present at the time of the incident and spared no effort to hunt down the murderer. The Red Clothes Sect will never tolerate any form of violence. Slander and so on...
This announcement, of course, cannot quell people’s suspicions about the Red Sect.
However, there was no evidence that the Red Sect was involved in this matter.
The subsequent investigation seemed to prove the innocence of the Red Sect.
That is, the monk who attacked Li Xuantian at the wedding banquet was actually not from the Beiliang Kingdom, but from the neighboring "Izumo Kingdom".
According to their confessions, they just accepted a commission from a mysterious employer.
The other party paid thousands of spiritual stones and found someone to go to Chenjia Mountain with them to seek justice for the poor people.
As long as they make the matter bigger and force the Xiao family to settle the case on the spot, the employer will show up and produce irrefutable evidence to completely prove Li Xuantian's crime and seek justice for the people!
From the current point of view, this commission is full of doubts.
However, at that time, the monks were immersed in the rewards of thousands of spiritual stones and did not think about it carefully at all.
It's an easy, comfortable job and the pay is high, so why not take it?
After all, they were just minions who wanted to gather numbers and build momentum, and they were not committing murder or arson. Even if they offended the Xiao family, on the premise of upholding justice for the people, the Xiao family did not dare to embarrass themselves too much.
Hence, the scene at the wedding banquet.
The poor monks were fully expecting their employer to show up with the so-called "ironclad evidence", but what they were waiting for was a carefully planned and shocking assassination!
They were so frightened that they peed on the spot, and then they realized something was wrong. They wanted to run but couldn't.
As for the old couple, they were indeed residents of Renxiang Village in Izumo Country. Their son and daughter-in-law did indeed die at the hands of evildoers a few years ago.
Therefore, the Beiliang Kingdom's immortal world immediately targeted the Izumo Kingdom and demanded that the Izumo Kingdom hand over the murderer of the princess.
Izumo Country is not a vegetarian either. It immediately denied any involvement in the case, and counter-sued Li Xuantian for killing its own people, and ordered the Xiao family to hand over Li Xuantian, otherwise they would never give up!
Both sides believed that they were the victims. For a while, you were back and forth with each other, and no one was willing to retreat.
A tense atmosphere floated over the two countries, and I even heard that conflicts broke out sporadically between monks from the two countries at the border.
As for the other countries on the border, they did not stay out of the matter. Instead, they stood in line, waved flags and shouted, as if they were watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal.
In short, with Xiao Yue's death, a storm sweeping across many countries has taken shape.
The Xiao family will never give up, but since the murderer and evidence have not yet been found, no one knows what kind of counterattack they will make, and who the target of the counterattack will be.
…
Ling Xiao walked all the way back to the gate of the manor, listening to the sporadic conversations of the monks and constructing the chaos of the current situation in the world of immortality, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This red-clothed sect is really a bunch of rat shit, making the situation unstable.
The killing of Lao Yu can be characterized as the continuation of the grudge between the black market and the Songshan Sword Sect.
Kill Xiao Yue?
I really don't understand why.
However, he was too lazy to figure it out.
Why not get rid of an enemy easily?
Just because Xiao Yue sent someone to assassinate him and his relationship with Ma Ying was unclear, even if the Red Sect didn't assign this mission, Ling Xiao would have to find an opportunity to kill her sooner or later!
With a secret snort, Ling Xiao was about to push the door open when his expression suddenly changed and he took out the sound transmission stone.
After listening to the transmission content, he was silent for a moment, and then walked to Tingyuxuan.
The third thing came so quickly.
Moreover, Kui Jieyuan actually wanted to interview him.
It's really unexpected.
Come to Tingyuxuan.
Ling Xiao's consciousness swept across the tea room, and his face darkened.
Ting Yuxuan, there are two more people today.
"No need to worry, little friend, come in."
Kui Jieyuan's calm voice came to his ears.
Ling Xiao snorted coldly, stepped in openly, walked directly to Kui Jieyuan, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Mr. Kui, business is good!" he said.
These words are truly yin and yang.
Tingyuxuan has not been open for an unknown amount of time.
After all, it rains every day now, and everyone gets annoyed when it rains, so why would they be interested in coming here?
According to Ling Xiao's idea, he might as well make a fake sun and rename it "Sun Shang Xuan", maybe he can still save it!
Kui Jieyuan was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Ling Xiao, do you still need an introduction?"
"That's not necessary."
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly and saluted the person next to him: "I've seen Senior Bai!"
This person is Bai Xiang.
As for the other person, who is of unparalleled magnificence and captivates the country, besides Liu Junhuan, the contemporary leader of Fuxiang Pavilion, who else can come?
"Thank you to my book friend "Tai Chi Qi Jing" for your monthly ticket, thank you!!!"
