After the order to lock down the town and conduct a large-scale search was issued, the entire Ruixuan Town suddenly revealed its prominence. From a lively and smoky place where monks gathered, it became a strict and highly guarded border pass. .
Soon, disciples of the Five Spirits were walking back and forth on almost all the streets in Ruixuan Town, loudly announcing the order of "locking down the town and conducting a search", strictly ordering no one to come in or out at will, and everyone should stay at home and stay safe until five days later. The order from Suo Zhen will only be lifted after Lingzong catches the thief who came to assassinate him. Anyone who disobeys the order will be regarded as an associate of the assassin. If found, he will be severely punished. If he resists, he will be killed on the spot.
Then some formation was activated in Chengming Building, and the whole town was quickly surrounded by a transparent light curtain. With such a big movement from the Wuling Sect, there were naturally some people in Ruixuan Town who had done evil things and felt guilty. The people thought that they were taking the opportunity to target themselves, and if they didn't leave at this time, they might have no future for themselves, so they took the risk and forced their way in. As a result, just after touching the light curtain, they turned into bodies amid a burst of screams. There was a flash of light, and then it disappeared into ashes, making everyone who saw it feel chilly in their hearts. Only then did they realize that Wuling Sect was not joking this time. This Suo Zhen incident was absolutely true. This was also a big event that had not been seen for many years. During the battle, I don’t know who got mad and caused trouble in this town. It is said that they assassinated the disciples of Wuling. Now people inside Ruixuan Town can’t get out, and people from outside can’t get in.
What surprised the people in the town was that they didn't usually know that there would be so many Five Spirits cultivators in Chengming Building. Now the whole town is almost full of people dressed as Five Spirits Sect patrolling the streets, and every one of them is a construction worker. Ji's cultivation level shows the strength of the Five Spirit Sect.
What's even more puzzling is that countless spiritual birds and beasts have also been released. These things can never be seen on ordinary days. One by one is either ferocious and ferocious or alert and well-behaved, following a group of them. The Five Spirit disciples walked back and forth on the street, staring at the darkness behind the corner house. There was also something like this that silently and swiftly jumped up from the ridge of the roof. A black shadow crouched motionless in the night, with pairs of glowing eyes staring closely at the rows of houses below. Even in the sky above the town, the sound of flapping wings could be heard constantly. Unknown how many spiritual birds were watching from the sky below, and from time to time, a sharp bird call sounded in the night sky.
Even people who have been in Ruixuan Town for many years have never experienced such a battle. At this time, the unrelated monks in the town were looking out from the cracks in the windows and doors, and they were chatting from time to time. Two sentences to discuss.
As for those who attacked Qian Chao, the few foundation-building casual cultivators who came to assassinate Qian Chao struggled a few times, but they only suffered more in front of the Five Spirit disciples who far exceeded them in number. Especially the foundation-building monk who was in charge of Song Feng Tower, he probably deeply hated these people for causing trouble in Song Feng Tower, and he was the most ruthless in his attacks. As for the four guys from Bianzhou, they were frightened by the battle, and their bodies were like chaff, and they were captured alive by many brothers led by Xu Sheng.
In fact, the matter should have ended here, and he should not have made such a big noise again, but it was what Tang Ping said in his ears at that time that made Tang Bonian decide to make the matter bigger and take the opportunity to bring the Tian family to Rui. The forces in Xuan Town were uprooted, and then they took the opportunity to beat them hard.
So under Tang Bonian's instructions, Xu Sheng, who understood everything, led everyone to directly surround the house with water from above and below.
Tian Shuangjin was with many foundation-building monks from the Tian family that night. When the bell rang for the town lock and search, he became nervous. Just when he was thinking about why this was the case, he heard the sound of clothes being ripped through the air outside. It was obvious that this place was surrounded by people, and then a loud shout was heard from outside:
"Listen! The Wuling Sect is searching for the assassin. Everyone in the yard stands outside the house. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
This roar made Tian Shuangjin's expression change!
The murderer!
Yes, the Tian family has such a plan, but...
His eyes quickly scanned the faces of the people opposite him, and he asked in a low voice:
"Could it be that those people took action here?"
"Come out quickly, everyone, save some face, otherwise we will rush in and arrest people!"
There was another shout outside!
Someone scratched the crack of the door and looked at it with a look of fear on his face, and said with some trembling:
"So...there are so many people!"
"Get out, I'll take care of it!" Tian Shuangjin said.
After walking out, Tian Shuangjin realized the seriousness of the matter. The Five Spirit disciples were either standing in the courtyard or hanging in the air, densely packed like iron barrels surrounded by a big net, all staring at them with unkind expressions. them.
"Brothers of Wuling, I am Li Jin. I am from the Li family in Qizhou. I am the person in charge here. Well, I am here to take care of several businesses for the family. I don't know what this is..."
"Hmph, sophistry, what kind of big business requires the help of so many Foundation-Establishing monks? Just now, an assassination occurred in the town. An outside Foundation-Establishing assassin assassinated my Five Spirit disciples. We were ordered to search."
The person on the other side said coldly.
"Uh, haha, these are cousins in the next family. They grew up together. This time they also passed by here when they went out to do something. They just stayed here for a few days. Because they thought it would be troublesome, they didn't inform Guizong. Unexpectedly, This happened to me, senior brother, we have been drinking and talking in the house tonight and have not gone out."
"Hahahaha," the man opposite laughed, "Mr. Tian, let's talk directly. You are obviously Tian Shuangjin from the Tian family in Qizhou, but you pretended that your surname was Li. Humph, there are so many foundation building masters hidden here. , it just so happened that the one who escaped after the assassination was also a Foundation Establishment monk, and he came in this direction. Mr. Tian, you are so... so suspicious. Come on, follow me to the Chengming Building to see us. The elder, let him ask."
When someone revealed his identity, Tian Shuangjin felt a chill all over his body. He also heard that the other party said that he was going to take all of them away. He suddenly didn't know what to do. His eyes were a little confused and he just flashed a few times. The person opposite him again. He spoke coldly:
"Don't make a mistake. If you want to break into you, you can give it a try and see what happens! Hmm, follow us obediently and make your words clear. Maybe there is still room."
"Okay..." Tian Shuangjin understood that if he fell out, there might be no way for them to survive, so he had no choice but to follow these people.
"Take them away and be careful. These people have good cultivation. Search the rest of the people here to see if there is anyone hiding inside. If there is resistance, they will be killed!"
"Yes!" There were voices of agreement everywhere!
In an inconspicuous inn just outside this house, there was no light in a room at this time, but the window had a gap. A man was standing there watching Tian Shuangjin and others being raped by many five people. The Lingzhuji monk escorted him all the way to Chengming Tower.
When the man saw this scene, his whole body was trembling.
This person is Yin Kuang.
…
Inside Chengming Building.
There is a floor that seems to be specially prepared for interrogating others. The hall on this floor is wide enough for many people to kneel down. Just like now, there are four trembling guys kneeling there and it still seems empty. Four people There was a chair opposite, and a white-haired old man was sitting on it. He was looking at the four people with cold eyes. When Xu Sheng came in with the monks from the Tian family who had been captured by them, the white-haired old man was lifted up. Lift your eyelids.
Tian Shuangjin walked at the front, and when he was led in, he saw the four guys. It was not cold here, but the four guys were shaking as if they had been splashed with icy cold water.
As if noticing Tian Shuangjin's gaze, the white-haired old man suddenly shouted:
"Tell me, who asked you to assassinate my granddaughter!"
The four guys were frightened by the loud shouts and trembled suddenly. At the same time, Tian Shuangjin's heart tightened. This white-haired old man looked like an alchemy monk. What was his status in the Five Spirit Sect?
Why was his granddaughter assassinated?
Dead or not?
Who did it?
Who are these four guys?
When he thought of this, Tian Shuangjin suddenly shrank in his heart. He suddenly remembered what Yin Kuang had said to him before. One of the reasons why Wen Liang refused to get rid of Qian Chao for the Tian family was that there was an elder named Shuiyungu Tang. The granddaughter has a good relationship with her. Well, the relationship should be very good. When Qian Chao was destined to die, it was that girl who saved Qian Chao's life with the treasure given by the elder Tang.
From this point of view, the white-haired old man in front of him should be Elder Tang from Shuiyun Valley, but...how could it be that his granddaughter was assassinated?
Was someone targeting his granddaughter?
Or is it true that the assassination was carried out by the foundation-building cultivator hired by the Tian family, and that he accidentally injured his granddaughter when he attacked Qian Chao?
Tian Shuangjin realized something was wrong. The Tian family had almost been targeted by the Wuling Sect. Although Qizhou had become impenetrable and impenetrable under the care of the Tian family over the years, the Wuling Sect was helpless against the Tian family. But after all, they are always watching, and the gap in strength between the Tian family and the Wuling Sect is not small. The Tian family has not dared to make any big moves for many years. Now... as long as this person surnamed Tang insists that the target of the assassination last night is His granddaughter, the Five Spirits Sect can take the opportunity to do many things!
Thinking of this, Tian Shuangjin felt his chest pounding even more urgently.
"Elder Tang!" One of the four was so frightened that he kowtowed on the ground. "We are really just four small aristocratic families in Bianzhou. We came here to track down the whereabouts of a book. The boy we were following all the way After entering Song Feng Tower, we entered another room and took out a book and gave it to a Five Spirits disciple. We thought it was... that boy was going to sell the book we wanted to get. At this moment, someone was talking to us next to him. The people in that room took action, and we mistakenly thought they were fighting for the book with us, so they also took action... Elder Tang, we didn't know those people were assassins. If we knew, we would definitely stop them. If they are lucky enough to capture them, we have done a great service to the Five Spirits Sect. How dare we attack the disciples of the Five Spirits, let alone the granddaughter of Elder Tang!"
"Yes, Elder Tang..." The people next to him started talking immediately after hearing this, and kept banging their heads on the floor.
"Hmph! That's strange. We caught one of those assassins. Why is what he said different from what you said? That guy said that you guys are his accomplices..." Tang Bonian said deliberately.
"Elder Tang," a kneeling guy suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "There is a way to prove our innocence. The name of the boy we are looking for is Lei Xian. He turns out to be a member of the Lei family in Bianzhou. After being killed, he fled to Ruixuan Town and became a casual cultivator. Now that boy is working as a helper in a shop. Elder Tang, if you find that boy and ask, you will know that we are not lying..."
Tang Bonian seemed a little impatient and said:
"Somebody come!"
"Elder Tang's orders." A Five Spirits disciple stepped forward to answer.
"Take these four guys into custody and lock them up separately. They are not allowed to talk to each other. Then they ask clearly which shop the boy named Lei they mentioned works as a helper and bring them over for questioning."
"yes."
The four people were escorted down, and then Tang Bonian looked at Tian Shuangjin and others. Someone hurriedly brought Tian Shuangjin and others up.
"Your name is Tian Shuangjin?" Tang Bonian asked.
"Exactly."
"Well, your surname is Tian. Why do you pretend to be named Li to others? Are you from the Li family in Qizhou?"
"Well, my mother is from the Li family in Qizhou, so I go out sometimes, so I use this to hide my identity."
"Why is this? Your Tian family has such a famous name in the world of cultivation. If you reveal your identity directly, who would dare to do anything against you?"
"Uh...Senior, the Tian family is powerful, but it also arouses jealousy. It is also convenient to use a false identity to do things outside."
"Huh, sophistry. In Ruixuan Town, even if the streets are full of enemies after you go out, who would dare to do anything to you? I'm afraid you mean something else when you say it's convenient, right?"
"Senior, I have misunderstood. I am traveling for my family. I am used to this. I did not want to deceive the Five Spirits Sect."
"Whether you lie or not, you will find out later. Let me ask you, what do you think of what happened tonight?"
"this……"
"Hmph, tonight my granddaughter was assassinated by an unidentified foundation-building monk in Song Feng Tower. Fortunately, the child was lucky enough to escape the disaster, but she was also injured!" The old man's voice suddenly became louder. "I have to settle this account to the end. Well, as for the assassin, we captured one and there are still others who escaped, so we are currently searching for him. I want to hear what you, the Tian family, think of tonight's events!"
With this big battle tonight and the strength of the Wuling Sect, Tian Shuangjin didn't believe that the assassin could escape. He knew why Tang Bonian said this, turned around and picked out an assassin at random, and then insisted that it was... He searched the people out from the secret place in Tian Shuangjin's house. That would mean that this matter would be entangled with the Tian family. Humph, the family had done so many tricks before, so what's the use now!
"Well... that assassin deserves to die. There must be a hidden secret in this. We must ask clearly and find out who is behind it, and then bring him to justice..."
"Hahahaha," Tang Bonian laughed, and then said with a joking face, "Forget it, I don't ask why you hide so many Foundation-building monks at home. They are all Foundation-building monks. I think they are not slow. Apart from you, choose one of you to go back and deliver the letter, asking someone from your Tian family who is important enough and qualified to talk to me to come here. The rest, since the limelight is tight these days, they can stay in Chengming Building temporarily! "
"yes……"
