Gorge Peak City.
It’s noon again, and the sun is shining brightly again. But unlike in the past, there is still a wind blowing under the warm sun today. The cool and overcast wind carries a damp and cold earth atmosphere, floating around like a ghost.
This strange wind has been blowing for three days, no matter the morning or evening, day and night. The mountain people who live near the original Zhaofeng College feel it most vividly. From time to time they even heard the wind making a shrill howl.
As for the origin of this wind, everyone knows it. The solitary peak that used to be the back of Zhanfeng Academy had somehow split into two halves from the beginning to the end. The mountain wind from the Xiafeng Mountains whizzes into Xiafeng City from the cracks, and at the same time brings the fresh earth atmosphere in the mountain cracks.
what happened?
Some people know it, some people don't. But those who know don’t dare to say more, and those who don’t know don’t dare to ask.
Although Fengfeng College is small, it is also one of the only two colleges in Xiafeng District. For ordinary people, it is always aloof. The academy is a place for cultivators. If you become a cultivator, you are not an ordinary person. Therefore, after entering the academy, you can often step into another world, a world that ordinary people can never touch.
Just like this, a place was razed to the ground overnight. What a big deal it must have happened, is there any need to say it?
The next day, the news finally spread. It was said that the lord of Xiafeng City was dead, and the murderer was actually Guo Youdao, the dean of Zhaifeng Academy.
Unexpectedly, Zhaofeng Academy would commit such a crime, and everyone immediately had to stay away from this ruins. Those who had had some friendly interactions with Zhaifeng Academy also became very upset.
Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion didn't seem to want to pursue the matter too much. It was said that all the former students of Zhaifeng Academy had gone back to their respective families. The original teachers have already settled down, except for three people.
There is still half a stone pillar left at the main entrance of the ruined Zhaifeng Academy. At this time, there are three people, chained to the stone pillar like dogs, half dead. Endure the wind and sun here.
They have been tied here for three days. At first, people came to watch and point fingers, but then they learned that Zhaifeng Academy was actually involved in the death of the city lord Wei Zhong. No one ever came again. Only the city lord's palace would come at three quarters every day, throw a few steamed buns to the three of them, and scoop out half a basin of water from everywhere to quench their hunger and thirst.
On this day, a secret agent from the City Lord's Mansion also came over. Three steamed buns and half a basin of water were placed casually in front of the three of them.
"Kill me..." One of the three people leaned against the stone pillar and said weakly. The Mo family has no strength. Even though they are cultivators, their bodies are no different from ordinary people. Such three days of torture have made Mo Sen weak.
"You can't do this to me. I am Li Xin, the eldest son of Li Yuan, who is ordered by Chasi. I really have nothing to do with anyone. There must be some misunderstanding in this. I want to see my father!" The other person seemed to have seized some opportunity. As if, at this moment, he rushed towards the spy like crazy.
"Get out!" The secret agent raised his leg and kicked Li Xin away.
"When you die, I will naturally ask your father to collect your body." The spy said viciously. This kick was also very forceful. Li Xin, who was kicked aside, huddled on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The remaining one, who had been lying on the ground, did not stand up at this time, but just crawled this way quietly. His legs trailed behind him motionless, apparently broken. He climbed to the edge of the basin, picked up a few handfuls of water with his hands and drank it, then picked up a steamed bun and climbed back. Unexpectedly, a foot fell from the sky and landed on his wrist.
"You bitch, you're quite capable! It's just that it's too easy for you to have both legs broken, isn't it? Mr. Bao asked me to take care of you!" After saying this, the foot continued to exert force, and with a click, the wrist on the sole of the foot was broken. The bun rolled weakly to the ground. But Guo Ting just frowned and remained silent.
"You bitch, you can't even bark!" The spy was obviously very dissatisfied with Guo Ting's reaction. He kicked him away and left cursing.
Suddenly, only the three of them were left in the ruined Fengfeng Academy.
Mo Sen was still sitting under the stone pillar, looking at Guo Ting aside.
"Hey." He suddenly shouted, "The dean is really that powerful? Can he kill Wei Zhong?" Mo Sen said suddenly, as if he didn't see the pain Guo Ting had just suffered. Because he knew that the guy was extremely tolerant of the pain. They have been tied here together for three days. That guy's legs were also broken one at a time. Today is the third day, and one wrist is broken. What about tomorrow? Such torture will continue to torture him.
As expected, Guo Ting did not take the broken wrist as a homecoming. When he heard Mo Sen talking to him, he immediately turned around.
"One hand will suffice," he replied.
"Really!" Mo Sen was surprised. He really didn't know that Guo Youdao was still so secretive. "Is he the one?"
No one could figure out whether the thief in the wind gathering field that day was real or fake. At this time, Mo Sen was suspecting that it was Guo Youdao.
As a result, Guo Ting remained silent on this question.
"Are you waiting for him to save you?" Moson did not continue to ask, but changed the question. Everyone knows Guo Ting's skills, and he is obviously not an ordinary character.
"If he is alive." Guo Ting said.
"Alas, my nephew died somewhere." Mo Sen said, Mo Lin was his nephew, and now it was no longer something that needed to be concealed.
"You two, one is Guo Youdao's attendant, the other is Mo Lin's uncle, and me? I have nothing to do with these people at all!!" Li Xin struggled to get up and shouted. He had some strength and was not like Guo Stop having your hands and feet broken like that, and your spirits are at their best.
"Yeah... you have nothing to do with it, so why exactly?" Mo Sen said weakly.
"I'll kill you two right now to prove it to them!" Li Xin's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly came up with such a way.
"That's a way." Mo Sen nodded. He truly wanted to die. He didn't know what situation Mo Lin was in at this time, or whether he was planning to save him. He only knew that the people in the City Lord's Mansion must have some vicious trap to tie the three of them here. He didn't want anyone to take risks for him. He wanted to die, but he couldn't bring himself to kill himself. He struggled for a long time. If someone is willing to do it for him, he will be happy to do so.
"Okay, I think you don't want to live anymore, so I'll help you!" Li Xin's eyes were not firm at first, but thinking about the suffering he had suffered in the past three days, and looking at Guo Ting's miserable appearance. I finally made up my mind.
"Okay, then you go die!" Li Xin grabbed Mo Sen's head and was about to hit the stone pillar with his fifth-level strength. It's enough to make Mawson's head bloom.
"Master Zhan, look, Xin'er is indeed innocent!" In a small building two hundred meters away, a window on the second floor faced the original main entrance of Zhaifeng Academy. For cultivators with a certain level of Chong Zhi Po, it is enough to see clearly what happened to the stone pillar. Wei Zhan was standing by the window, watching everything. Until this scene happened, a middle-aged man beside him rushed over with an excited stride. It was Li Yuan, Li Xin's father, who was under the command of Chasi of Xiafeng District.
He could guess a thing or two about the plan of the City Lord's Mansion. It was nothing more than using three people as bait to lure the snake out of its hole. He believed that Li Xin was innocent, but he had to be afraid of this situation. In this situation, if someone really came to rescue him, Li Xin would have no choice but to escape with them. It really must be so. Even if his suspicion is confirmed, their whole family will probably be implicated.
So for the past three days, he had been pleading to the city lord's palace, telling his son's innocence. The City Lord's Mansion didn't make it too difficult for him. They just said that his son was suspected of colluding and would wait and see.
But Li Yuan was so afraid of this observation that he was uneasy for three days. Today he finally saw that his son was going to kill those two people, and he was overjoyed. This kind of proof was perfect.
He had already rushed to Wei Zhan's side with a single stride. But Wei Zhan's expression changed drastically at this moment. Li Yuan only thought that he was in the way and Li Xin ruined their plan after killing the two people. He felt quite angry in his heart: Who made you wrongfully accuse our family? Do you want to observe the new baby?
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhan had already thrown him away and flew away from the window in the next second. Li Yuan was stunned for a moment before looking outside. But they saw that Mo Sen was not dead, and his son actually fell to the ground, with an arrow seemingly stuck in his back.
It’s really here!
Li Yuan was stunned. He had been worried about the arrival of the reinforcements for three days, and his son made a move to prove himself at this moment. As a result, his move caused the reinforcements to shoot him down. At this time, life and death were still pending, and Li Yuan's heart was broken.
Then several people rushed out and rushed towards the main entrance. The group of people looked around carefully, but there was no movement at all.
what happened?
Li Yuan was also stunned. Could it be that he guessed wrong? This city lord's mansion doesn't have any decorations at all? This is impossible, right?
Of course this is impossible.
From the first day he quietly returned to Xiafeng City, when he saw the three of Mo Sen tied to stone pillars from a distance, Lu Ping knew that it was impossible not to have arrangements. This is another trap, a trap that is nothing new but has to be stepped on.
The last time the City Lord's Mansion played this trick, Lu Ping and the others really went straight to it.
But this time, Lu Ping did not act rashly.
He carefully searched for cultivators in this area using his listening skills. Those would undoubtedly be ambushes from the City Lord's Mansion. In three days, he discovered a lot. During this period, Guo Ting's legs were broken. After undergoing torture, Lu Ping remained calm and did not move lightly.
It wasn't enough, he told himself in his heart, he needed more investigation. When he saw Guo Ting's wrist being trampled off again today, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
This feeling is really bad, but if we want to protect the three of them...
Lu Ping did not forget Guo Youdao's dying instructions. He even thought that if he simply ignored them, would the three of them be deemed useless in the end and be let go?
But after all, he didn't dare and couldn't do it so thoroughly. He found that among the words Guo Youdao left for him, there was another sentence that suited him better.
If the strength is sufficient, it is another matter.
He likes to think otherwise.
It's just a pity that he doesn't have enough at the moment. It might not be a problem for him alone to rush through the trap and reach the three people, but how to take the three people away would be too problematic.
So he could only continue to endure it, and he could only continue to think of ways to destroy the other party's trap.
As a result, at this moment, Li Xin actually wanted to stop killing Mo Sen and Guo. Such a change was really unexpected.
Lu Ping had to take action. He was ready to rush out, but an arrow flew and Li Xin was shot down.
nightingale! Arrow of God!
There are many people who use arrows, but this is the one that immediately pops up in Lu Ping's mind.
But there is an ambush in the city lord's mansion!
Lu Ping did not forget this, so he rushed to the place where there was an ambush. He was going to snipe these ambushes as quickly as possible.
He quickly rushed to the nearest point, but he never sensed any force moving around him.
How could those ambushes be so quiet and calm? Lu Ping was a little surprised. At this time, he had rushed to the nearest point. The spy was still there, but he had fallen to the ground, and there was no sound of courage.
Lu Ping was stunned and quickly turned around. There was another dot next to him.
Then he saw the corpse of a spy, lying under the wall, with his head tilted and his face turning purple. A steamed bun with several bites rolled down beside him.
Lu Ping was stunned, this death sign... was poisoning?
He looked at the buns on the ground, and another person's name jumped into his mind, which made him a little happy.
Maureen?
Lu Ping jumped onto the roof, but there was silence everywhere. There was no movement at all from the spots where he knew the spies were ambushed. He looked around, trying to find Mo Lin, but he saw a large group of people from the City Lord's Mansion rushing towards him.
I have no choice but to leave.
Lu Ping turned around and jumped down. Over there, Mo Sen and Guo Ting had been rescued by several people and were already far away. Everyone in the ambush was poisoned, so the rescue naturally became not difficult.
Wait, that figure!
Lu Ping, who had already jumped from the roof, jumped back again desperately.
He saw that the figure of the man running with Mo Sen on his back was mostly covered. Both of Mawson's feet were on the ground, and the man carrying him was obviously not tall.
It's Su Tang!
Just looking at these figures was enough for Lu Ping to recognize them.
Lu Ping hurriedly wanted to catch up, but an arrow flew towards him.
"Who is it?" A shout came. Lu Ping, who was standing on the roof, had already attracted attention, but before he could recognize his appearance, a large group of people had already rushed toward him.
There was no way to pursue him. Seeing the people from the City Lord's Mansion arriving like a tide, Lu Ping had no choice but to turn around and run in the other direction.
No matter who saved her, she was fine.
Lu Ping sneaked back to Xiafeng City just to see if there was any news about Su Tang, and now, he got really good news.
Just be fine.
Nowadays, Lu Ping no longer insists on anything. He runs and smiles.
In a slightly ajar door, a sneaky eye looked out quietly.
"That's Lu Ping, right? What are you jumping up and down for?" He thought silently, but in the end he just watched Lu Ping run away, while Mo Sen and Guo Ting were rescued and fled in another direction. .
"So many people came here out of nowhere, so it saves trouble." After sensing that there was indeed no danger around him, the man muttered, opened the door and walked out.
A straw hat was placed deeply on his head with his hands. After looking around cautiously, he quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
