Luocang, Jingyesi Mansion.
Tuk-tuk-tuk! Amid a rapid and irregular knock on the door, Xia He, the head of Jingyesi who had just taken office not long ago, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold something on the inside of the bed.
Feeling the lines on the surface of the self-defense equipment, Xia He's panic due to his sudden awakening gradually calmed down. He stood up and put on his clothes while responding to the people outside, his voice was low and dignified:
"What's the matter?"
At this time, he was mentally prepared and knew that a "big event" had happened in Luo Cang.
After the knock on the door paused, a hoarse male voice came from outside the door, neither high nor low:
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Palace has just sent someone to invite you to come to the Palace to discuss matters."
"You didn't say anything specific?"
Xia He arranged his clothes, held the self-defense equipment in his hand, strode to the door, and opened it.
"No, I'm just letting you know."
The person who answered him was a short man wearing black clothes with an ordinary face and an exaggeratedly large sword hanging on his waist.
After the short man finished answering this sentence, he saw his boss frowning, as if he was not satisfied with his response. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, his thoughts changed rapidly, and he subconsciously added:
"However, this time it is Mr. Guo Huai who is responsible for delivering the news."
The Lord Guo Huai he calls is the second-ranking figure in the government office, and he is considered to be among the group of people below the top bosses in Luocang City.
"Oh? Go and have a look."
When he heard that it was Guo Huai who came in person, the remaining bit of luck in Xia He's heart suddenly disappeared. His expression gradually softened, and he ignored his subordinates and walked straight towards the meeting pavilion.
…
Inside the forum.
After meeting Guo Huai, Xia He was not too polite. He looked around, his eyes fixed on the other person's chest that fluctuated greatly, and his face with an obviously stiff expression, and asked directly:
"What happened tonight? So urgent?"
It's so urgent that I don't have time to put it off until tomorrow morning.
"Master Xia."
Hearing Xia He's inquiry, the second-in-command in the Luocang Mansion also did not exchange any greetings. His sharp voice echoed in the Jingyesi Council Pavilion:
"Tonight, a strong man secretly attacked the Du family, the Xue family, and the Yue family..."
He announced the names of the eight families in sequence and continued:
"Right now, the big tribesmen of these families have been killed. A small number of tribesmen are either hiding in secret to avoid danger, or driving directly to the government office to seek shelter..."
Guo Huai was still talking, but Xia He couldn't listen anymore. The only words in his ears were "most of the clan members were killed." He felt his mind roaring and his vision blurred.
There were eight entire families. How many people would have to die, and what kind of master would it take to kill them all in one night?
His thoughts further diverged, and he only felt that this incident would have a greater impact on Luo Cang in the future, just like the storm. After all, no one knew why the strong man who killed eight families killed people, and whether he would continue to do so in the future. kill?
"There are eight families in total, the Du family, the Yue family, the Xue family..."
While Xia He was guessing and reviewing, he felt an inspiration rising vaguely, gradually occupying his entire mind, and at the same time he also grasped a certain clue.
These eight families? There seems to be something in common.
"A blood sect family?"
Xia He raised his head slightly, moved his eyes upward, looked at Guo Huai, and asked a question with almost certainty.
"right!"
Knowing that Chief Jingye also realized the commonalities of the eight destroyed families, Guo Huai let out a long breath:
“These eight families all belong to the Blood Faction families.
"There are only these eight blood sect families in Luocang."
The traces are so obvious, it seems that they are only targeting the Blood Sect family. After Xia He learned more details, his mood was not so bad. As a normal warrior who was promoted according to the conventional method, he was naturally familiar with the Blood Sect family's routine. There is a vague hostility, but it is not shown usually.
After eight families were wiped out, the government office only sent Guo Huai here. It seemed that the government official was not very anxious. At this time, he might just be showing off to some people. In an instant, Xia He suddenly and Luo Cang government office’s The man had a tacit understanding, his body was no longer tense, and he poured a cup of tea slowly:
"What do you mean, Master Fu Zun?"
"Master Fu Zun hopes that our Luocang Fu Yamen and Jing Yesi will cooperate to temporarily block the city and help the eight families stabilize their industries. At the same time, we will do our best to dig out clues and find the murderer of this case!"
The former wants to swallow up the money of these eight families, while the latter wants to give an explanation to the forces behind these eight families. They cannot do nothing.
"good!"
"I promise."
After Xia He made his decision, he followed Guo Huai out of Jingyesi. He still had some necessary details to discuss with the governor, and Guo Huai couldn't make a decision.
On the way, while analyzing what he had gained this time, he thought about his previous thoughts:
"What kind of strong man can he destroy several families that have been rooted here for hundreds of years?"
"Is he a master of the Golden Core Realm?"
"When can I do this?"
…
…
In an unknown cave.
Jiang Yan casually punched a three-foot-tall tiger-like monster to death, then used its corpse as a cushion and sat down cross-legged, preparing to sort out the harvest.
Mainly to see the number of weird values harvested.
"If the situation allows, raise the True Form of the Sun to the top and try to increase your strength. Nan Yan City is no better than Ye Huai. There must be more and stronger masters there. A little more strength is always a good thing."
With this thought in mind, he wanted to open the martial arts modifier panel.
Ouch!
Ouch!
At this time, two low and trembling roars came from the depths of the cave, interrupting Jiang Yan's movements. He paused and then looked along the sound of the roars.
Wherever he looked, he saw two pairs of light yellow and dark green amber pupils looking quietly in this direction, looking at the huge tiger monster corpse under his seat.
They are also tiger demons, but they are not tall, about the same size as ordinary dogs, and they are obviously still in their immature stage.
"Oh? There are two more fish that slipped through the net?"
Seeing these two obviously fearful cubs, Jiang Yan was startled for a moment, then grinned:
"...I can't give you the chance of Hexi in thirty years."
Snapped! He casually unleashed two blasts of energy, causing the two cubs to roll up to him. Then, without giving them any chance to resist, he made a weak fist with his right palm. The tiger demon cub's whole body crackled and died in pain.
"It just so happens that we have food after the breakthrough, and the cub's meat is relatively tender."
This thought flashed through Jiang Yan's mind, but he ignored it. He continued the previous action, turned on the martial arts modifier, and saw the familiar light green color.
Character: Jiang Yan
Kung Fu: The True Form of the Great Sun
Level: Twelve floors
Status: Ninth floor
Improve (can) deduce (no)
Weird value: Rune realm: 1 Dan realm: 4211
"not bad."
Looking down, Jiang Yan's mouth curled up with a faint smile. For him, if he wanted to quickly accumulate weirdness points, one would be to kill a large number of low-level weirdos, and the other would be to kill higher-level weirdos.
Both of these are problems for him.
There are not many high-level monsters, their whereabouts are unpredictable, their talents are weird, and they are desperate and terrifying. Wanting to kill them is a dangerous thing in itself. There are many low-level monsters, but for his current level, he needs to kill many, many more. Meeting the requirements for an advancement would take too much time, and might even outweigh the gains and losses. It might not be as good as practicing by taking drugs.
"We have to find a way."
Jiang Yan touched his chin and thought carefully for a while. His eyes flashed when he thought of the Nanyanzhou Chamber of Commerce mentioned by the Du family leader before.
After a while, he took a deep breath, completely accumulating other emotions, his head emptied slightly, and his mind gradually became peaceful.
"It's now."
"promote!"
