When the white smoke dissipated, the fierce battle in the Demon Tower also ended.
Although the battle did not last long, it was extremely brutal. Whether it was the spies who entered the memorial hall or the agents of the Divine Catcher Division, most of them were seriously injured and suffered heavy losses.
For example, the policeman named Jing Liang was hit by several crossbow arrows. Although his life was not injured, he could only lean on the pillar and groan in pain, unable to move.
Others were not much better, especially the spies who entered the Academy. Most of them fell to the ground and vomited black blood. It was obvious that they had suffered from Dongfang Meiyan's bloody palm...
But facing such a tragic scene, Dongfang Meiyan and others have long since disappeared.
At this moment, Dongfang Meiyan, Sima Xin and Xu Zhen were supporting Lianji, who had been hit by an arrow, to the kitchen in the backyard of the demon building.
Along the way, Dongfang Meiyan never stopped complaining and shouted excitedly: "Where did the white smoke come from? Who set the arrow? How could there be a sneak attack under my nose? Did you see it? Who is it?"
"This..." Sima Xin, with his hair disheveled, responded in embarrassment, "I didn't see it either. It seems that there are spies in this demon building. We...we were careless!"
After saying that, Sima Xin saw that several of his men were still following him, and he waved to them hurriedly: "You guys, guard the door, don't let anyone in!"
"yes……"
Although the clothes of Sima Xin's men were also stained with blood, they were lucky enough to escape the brutal fighting because they were weak in martial arts and focused on survival.
After agreeing, they quickly closed the kitchen door and stood guard outside.
"There..." Lianji pointed to the pile of firewood in the corner and said, "It's right there, there..."
But seeing Lian Ji's face turned pale and her whole body trembling, the arrow that hit her chest seemed to have endangered her life.
"What!?"
Dongfang Meiyan and others were surprised and hurriedly looked at the firewood pile, but there was nothing there except piles of firewood. No one knew what Lian Ji meant.
"Knife, knife," Lian Ji gestured painfully, "wood chopper! That's the wood chopper!"
"What!!?"
This time, everyone was even more surprised, but everyone thought of something in their hearts. Surprise turned to excitement, and then excitement turned to excitement.
Dongfang Meiyan was the fastest. She was the first to pick up a woodcutter next to the firewood pile.
But the woodcutter was rusty, the blade was damaged, and the blade was full of chips. It looked like a useless knife.
Not only was it difficult to cut firewood with such a broken knife, it was not even worth selling for scrap metal, so it was placed in the corner of the firewood pile and almost no one cared about it.
"this……"
The three of them all looked at Lian Ji in astonishment, obviously expressing serious doubts.
"Yeah." However, Lian Ji nodded vigorously, which means that what you are looking for is this broken knife.
No way?
The three of them stared at the broken knife with their eyes wide open, muttering in their hearts, could it be...could it be...
"Get away!"
Seeing that the three of them didn't believe it, Lian Ji simply pushed Xu Zhen away, picked up a bottle of old wine from the cupboard, raised her neck and drank a sip, and then spit it out on the broken knife.
Then, she grabbed the broken knife and swiped it over the flames of the stove.
boom……
In an instant, the rusty blade immediately burst into flames!
oh……
Oh oh oh...
Dongfang Meiyan and the other three were immediately dumbfounded, because they saw the flame change from yellow to red, from red to purple, and a ball of purple flame actually rose up!
You know, purple was a rare color in ancient times, and it was very difficult to mix it.
And purple flames were unheard of.
"Zi...Zi..." Dongfang Meiyan's lips trembled, "Purple Flame Knife!"
"This..." Sima Xin almost fell to his knees, "Is this the purple flame sword of Emperor Taizu?"
More amazing things are yet to come.
As the flames burned, the rust on the blade slowly fell off, revealing a faintly shining dragon pattern!
"Sure enough, it is indeed Taizu's sword..." Dongfang Meiyan knelt on one knee under the sword.
However, as soon as she knelt down, Lian Ji, who was holding the sword, suddenly fell down, and the flame on the sword was suddenly extinguished.
"Old mother... hello..." Xu Zhen hugged her quickly, and then realized that Lian Ji was already so angry that she was about to die.
"quick!"
Dongfang Meiyan quickly took out Jin Yuan Dan and prepared to give it to Lian Ji.
However, Lian Ji pushed her hand away and said bitterly: "If possible, bury me and Wu Bing together! Whether it's true or not, haha... it doesn't matter..."
After saying that, Lian Ji slowly closed her eyes and stopped moving.
"Lianji, hey, hey..." Dongfang Meiyan shook her and said hurriedly, "You haven't told me yet, besides the purple flame knife, what else is in the container? Hey..."
However, no matter how much she shook, Lianji never responded.
Purple flame knife...
Xu Zhen took the sword from Lianji's hand and carefully observed the dragon pattern on the sword.
The ancient sword gives people a heavy and depressing feeling.
"I don't understand..." Xu Zhen muttered to himself as he looked at the sword, "Since Fang Wubing has found the Purple Flame Sword, why didn't he hand it over to the late Emperor?"
"Oops," Sima Xin sat slumped on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "I found the knife, but how to deal with the aftermath...how to deal with the aftermath? Entering the Memorial Courtyard...but they are all royal guards, I..."
"What are you afraid of?" Dongfang Meiyan said angrily, "We have a special police officer. Once we find the knife, we can deal with it, but..."
She looked at Lian Ji's body and said, "The whereabouts of those five containers are really unknown. I still want to find clues about the criminal officer Daxuanti!"
"There is no doubt," Xu Zhen analyzed, "the purple flame sword must be in those five containers, which means that the sword was saved by the Da Xuanti executioner.
“Could it be that…” Xu Zhen murmured to himself, “Fang Wubing found the treasured sword, but did not hand it over, choosing instead to be trapped in the county prison.
"Tsk tsk... Why didn't you turn it in? Could it be... that his purpose was not to find the knife, but to find someone? Just like you," Xu Zhen looked at Dongfang Meiyan, "He also wanted to find the Da Xuanti executioner ?”
"oh?"
Dongfang Meiyan took the sword, first fell into deep thought, and then started a serious discussion with Xu Zhen.
Then, together with Sima Xin, they discussed how to clean up the mess next...
However, what they didn't know was that just when they found the sword, someone had already quietly slipped out of the demon building.
The man climbed over the wall and across the house as quickly as possible, and soon came to a secluded alley.
In the alley, there was an old man dressed as a beggar waiting there. After seeing this man, the two immediately stepped forward to exchange information.
"What!? Purple Flame Sword!!?"
After the old man got the important news, he was shocked all over. Then he took out the arrow from his waist without hesitation and lit it on fire.
laugh……
The sounding arrow shot high into the sky and resounded around the demon tower.
After the common people heard this, they just thought that someone had set off fireworks during the day, and they stopped to look high in the sky. When they found that they could not see anything, they continued to go about their own business.
However, for some people, the sound of the arrow is the most important signal.
Soon, people dressed in different styles and with strong bodies came from all directions like a turbulent undercurrent, and rushed towards the demon tower...
