This sensational assassination brought shame to the people in the Holy Land, because the embarrassing appearance of their hasty escape was clearly visible to others.
The saint who usually claims to be knowledgeable about the past and predict the future failed to foresee that she would be assassinated?
As people who have worshiped the sacred tree for generations, they have encountered an unprecedented crisis of trust - if the mastermind behind the assassination cannot be found out, I am afraid that no one will follow the orders of Bai Feng or Murong Yan, and their ideas and initiatives will be It becomes a piece of paper.
No matter how nice the words are, no matter how flawless the plan is, if no one can execute it, it will never happen.
"This is the worst case scenario, but at the same time, it is also a God-given opportunity." Bai Feng kept thinking in his heart while escorting the three captured assassins: "If we can find the power behind the assassins, everyone will There will be clearer goals and enemies, so we no longer have to shout prayers out of thin air every day and pin our hopes on a slim fate."
After a while, he followed the guards to the darkest and dampest corner of Wuchuan Town. It was dark all year round and the screams of the tortured could be heard from time to time. This was the Wuchuan Prison.
At first, the young swordsman was still lucky, thinking that he could learn the truth behind it without having to torture anyone. Unexpectedly, when the first two assassins were interrogated, once the question about the mastermind behind the scenes was brought up, the assassin would immediately break it. The poison sac hidden in his mouth caused him to die on the spot.
In the end, Bai Feng only found some strange weapons on the two assassins - two pairs of strange sleeve arrows, and many special arrows with poisoned arrows.
This sleeve arrow is very light, and its craftsmanship, materials and design are rare in the world. It seems to have been specially created to carry out assassination, and can be perfectly hidden in anyone's cuff.
Bai Feng took one of the sleeve arrows and tied it to his arm. There is a pull ring connected to the trigger. The user puts the pull ring back on his finger, and just clenches his fist to fire arrows to attack enemies within twenty steps.
"This does not require any practice!" Bai Feng secretly sighed: "Such a weapon can only be created by a person who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia."
"Lord Holy Lord!" the guard who was waiting in the audience asked: "There is still the last assassin left, do we still have to focus on persuasion?"
Bai Feng said: "No, we can't let him look for opportunities to seek death anymore... We have to find a way to knock him out first, and then we take the opportunity to take away the poisonous sac in his mouth... Oh, go to the city to find the doctor, we have to do a good job Let’s treat his teeth.”
"Yes!" After saying that, the guard left to find the doctor, while Bai Feng took the opportunity to go to the third cell and watched with his own eyes as the jailer beat the last assassin to a half-dead state. The guy was quite brave. Shouting like crazy.
"Kill me, you kill me!"
"The arrival of the saint is a sign of great misfortune! I am here to slay demons and defend the Way. How can you ignorant villains understand this?"
"Just let it be and continue to let the saint ride on your head and dominate! Hahaha..."
After Bai Feng heard this, he immediately pretended to be angry and said angrily: "Hit me hard, hit me hard, don't have any scruples!"
The assassin was beaten to a bloody pulp, and no matter how clear and loud his previous shouts were, they were no match for the prolonged beating. After a moment, he fainted and fell to the ground, unable to resist anymore.
"Okay, ask the doctor to come and look at his injuries. Keep them well and keep beating him!" Bai Feng pulled Lang Zhou, who was rushing over, and whispered to him, "Doctor, you just need to find something in his mouth." Just use the poison sac. If it's really hard to find, break all his teeth and pull them out... In short, you must not let him die, and I will ask everyone present to help."
After speaking, Bai Feng walked out of the cell and assigned several burly men to hold down the assassin's hands, feet, body, and head. Not long after, several more miserable screams came from the cell. This voice There were no words, but everyone was in danger.
Many prisoners nearby stuck their heads out to look at Bai Feng, but they only took one look and then retreated in panic. At that time, everyone thought that this was a new chief, so they did not dare to make mistakes.
"I found it! I found it!" The doctor walked up to Bai Feng, holding the iron pliers high, and explained: "The poison sac is tied to the tooth with silk thread. This took a lot of effort on my part."
"Don't worry, the reward will be yours." Bai Feng reached out to take the poison bag, and then waved to others to hand over the reward: "You guys, send the doctor away."
The young swordsman slowly walked up to the assassin, knelt down and took a closer look at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but sneered: "What, you can't shout now?"
"Who are you, are you, are you? You are so despicable and shameless!" Most of his teeth had been pulled out. His mouth was filled with blood when he spoke, and his speech became completely slurred.
"Don't worry, not only will I not kill you, I will also entertain you with delicious food and drink, and I will also let you meet the saint you hate the most." Bai Feng waved his hand, and the guards on the left and right were ready. Lifting up the injured assassin: "Get ready, let's go back to the Holy Land."
Dusk has not yet arrived, and there are not many people in the streets that were crowded earlier. Yan Dahan's men were maintaining order, searching various restaurants and hotels near the incident site, and checking to see if any fish had slipped through the net.
Bai Feng and others dragged the assassin along the street, and the whole street was filled with the only sound of them rushing. Soon, they left the city and traveled all night, just to return to the Holy Land and meet Murong Yan.
The assassin must have never thought that he would live through today. He was silent along the way, watching the sunset on the horizon change to a full moon, and he arrived at the Holy Land from Wuchuan Town.
He was first taken to a place by each garrison to rest for a while. He ate the same food and slept in the same place as the garrison. The Holy Land was so quiet at night that he felt a little weird, and strange thoughts kept popping up in his head.
"Brother, brother? What on earth do you want to do to me?"
"You don't want me to convert, do you?"
"No, I will never betray my beliefs! You should kill me..."
He talked to himself for a long time, but still no one answered his question. It wasn't until Bai Feng came here to ask for someone that a soldier from the garrison complained to him: "Lord Holy Lord, you'd better take that assassin away quickly! I'm afraid that the brothers will not be able to hold back for a while and kill him secretly!"
Bai Feng snickered and didn't say a word. He just asked others to escort the assassin to follow him to the Holy Lady. They were walking quickly through the Holy Land at night, seemingly discussing urgent matters.
