Bai family residence.
With the support of the family's healing elixir, Bai Shangjie's injuries are no longer serious. As long as he doesn't use all his strength for a period of time, he can recover.
Although he was at the family station, he had heard about what happened today, but without his exclusive servant Lao Li, he always felt that the information compiled by other servants was a bit messy.
He must re-train a person who can do things efficiently, he thought to himself, but a question emerged in his mind. It stands to reason that Zhu Mingkui was chased by him in the deserted mountains and ran away. How could he suddenly appear in this place? Xihe County, why did you want to sneak into the Bai family and sneak into his side.
When it comes to hatred, it stands to reason that Zhu Mingkui should hate Bai Shangwu more. After all, he only broke that guy once, while Bai Shangwu chased and seriously injured the guy all the way. He should also be challenged when using secret techniques to lurk in the Bai family. The servants from his martial arts academy are right.
unless……
Unless Zhu Mingkui witnessed the scene when he and his friend Ding Yichuan came out of the whirlpool, and became interested in their harvest.
But if that was the case, after finding out that Shang Jie had indeed returned home empty-handed, he should have left quickly and tried to intercept his friend. How could he stay in the city? He got into that crappy caravan again. As a cultivator, there was no need for him to follow the caravan.
No matter how much Bai Shangjie thought about it, he couldn't figure out the unreasonableness in it. This was caused by the information gap.
Zhu Mingkui is dead, so no one knows that he has entered those vortexes, knows that there must be something in the vortex, and knows that Bai Shangjie and Ding Yichuan must gain something, so after the two entered the vortex, he deliberately created a The loud movement attracted nearby monks.
This is also the reason why Bai Shangjie was attacked and killed far beyond imagination. As a member of the Bai family, the family's residence is so close to Shiwan Barren Mountain, and he ended up fleeing with serious injuries.
Zhu Mingkui knew that he was no match for the two of them, so he resorted to this trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife. He knew his own strength very well. If Bai Shangjie couldn't run away, the person who killed him would only be stronger, and he would be even less likely to be able to defeat him. There was no treasure to be grabbed, so instead of waiting outside the battlefield, he went straight to Xihe County.
He bet that Bai Shangjie could escape the attacks of others. As long as Bai Shangjie escaped, he would definitely return to the Bai family in Xihe, so he made two preparations:
The first was to prepare to intercept and kill Bai Shangjie outside Xihe County. As long as Bai Shangjie was injured in the fight, he would have a chance. Since he did not know which route Bai Shangjie would return from, he could only wait near the city, but when he arrived in Xihe The county found that the Bai family was too powerful. As long as there was a battle near the city, the Bai family would arrive immediately, so they had no choice but to give up.
So he concentrated on plan two - sneaking into the Bai family. He believed that with his ability to conceal his aura, he would be able to sneak into the Bai family without being noticed. However, when he got near the Bai family's residence, he felt an extra strong danger. I had a premonition and felt that if I dared to go in, I would definitely die.
As a last resort, he could only let the occult doll sneak in. He found an opportunity when Lao Li was out and turned him into a occult doll, and sneaked into the White Mansion to find out the news.
In fact, at this point in his plan, he had already failed. Even if Lao Li could find out where the treasure was, he would not be able to take it out of the heavily guarded Bai family.
It's just that he was lucky and wanted to take a gamble, because his chances with Ding Yichuan were even slimmer. Not to mention the masters in the Longmen Realm, he was absolutely unmatched. Just talking about how many roads there were to return to the capital from the Shiwan Barren Mountains, he Where should he go to wait for interception? If he couldn't be intercepted on the way, it would be impossible. Even if he had ten thousand courages, he wouldn't dare to go wild near the capital and the academy.
After Bai Shangjie returned to the family and Lao Li confirmed that he returned empty-handed, he knew that all the planning and preparations this time were in vain. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was a little disappointed when the fact actually happened.
Just when he was about to return to Shiwan Barren Mountain, he encountered an unexpected surprise. The evil method he had practiced to break through the realm actually reacted. He had also picked many women, and this was the first time he had seen the evil method so active. of.
He followed his feeling and found that it was a caravan from Changping County. The smell of two people in the caravan was particularly sweet, which fascinated him.
So he made an impromptu decision and sneaked into the caravan, waiting for the caravan to leave the city before he started to attack. However, he did not expect that at this time, the head of the Bai family in the divine realm discovered his secret doll. road.
After thinking for a long time to no avail, Bai Shangjie let out a sigh of relief and stood up, planning to walk around outside the hospital and look for a smarter servant.
After leaving the small courtyard, he happened to encounter the chief steward leading someone back to the house. Behind him, several monks were carrying two corpses, a man and a woman. He walked over curiously and asked the chief steward what they were doing.
The chief steward bowed slightly and replied: "These are the people who died in the city today. They were all planted with the secret technique by Zhu Mingkui. The other corpses have been collected by their families. Only these two are left unclaimed. The head of the family sent me to Bring it back to the family.”
Bai Shangjie understood. He watched the two corpses being carried away. One female corpse had a long wound on its chest and abdomen, and its organs could be clearly seen. The other male corpse had an arrow shot into its eye socket. Pierce the skull.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
The chief steward turned around in confusion, only to see Bai Shangwu hurriedly running to the male corpse, looking at the arrow stuck in his head with burning eyes, pointing at it expectantly and asking: "Is this feather arrow? Who ejaculated?"
The chief steward shook his head slightly: "When we arrived at the scene, we only found this body, but we didn't know who the archer was."
"Really..." Bai Shangjie was a little depressed, and the hope that had just emerged turned into disappointment. He waved his hands: "Forget it...wait, when did this person die?"
"It's about the end of the year."
Bai Shangjie left thoughtfully. At least he could cross off the part of his list that left the city before today.
------------------
The Bai family lifted the blockade after capturing Zhu Mingkui. Wei Feng immediately went to find Bu Ji and Cao'er after finishing a few things, telling them that the danger had been resolved and it was time to return to the team.
Neither of them asked Wei Feng how he knew where they were hiding. They fully believed what Wei Feng said and left with him. However, when they met again, Cao'er looked at Wei Feng with some dodge in his eyes, always unconsciously. He shrank behind Buji, and it took him a while to return to normal.
When the three of them trotted to the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce's stronghold, the caravan had already been prepared. They only needed to re-count the number of people before setting off. As for the people in the clothing store, they definitely wouldn't wait any longer. They had already been delayed for most of the day. They didn't know yet that something had happened to those ten poor women.
