A few days later, Qian Chao and Li Jian took advantage of the darkness before dawn to quietly leave the sect. When there was no one around, they each took out the spiritual swords they used when they went to guard Wo Mountain and stepped on them. , as two rays of light burst out, the two figures disappeared in an instant.
Just yesterday, someone quietly found Qian Chao, first showed him Liu Feng's token, and then handed a letter to Qian Chao.
The letter was written by Liu Feng, saying that Zuo You, whom Qian Chao introduced last time, had returned to Ruixuan Town. Well, he was still seriously injured and was recovering at Liu Feng's place. According to Zuo You, someone wanted to Qian Chao is unfavorable. I hope to discuss the specific situation with Qian Chao.
After reading this letter, Qian Chao naturally thought of what Chu Yuan had said to him a few days ago, and secretly wondered if Wen Liang was really going to make a big deal this time?
It seems that we must go to Ruixuan Town once. However, three of the five Qian Chao people have apprentices. They only go out once a month and will come back after staying for more than ten days. After all, Tang Ping, Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan both had to listen to the teachings and practice with their masters. They couldn't always run away, so Qian Chao went to find Li Jian, who also had no disciples, and asked Li Jian to rush to Ruixuan together. Town, this can be considered as taking care of you.
On the morning after the two set off, Tang Ping went to Qian Chao's residence to show off his "long tail" and "short tail" to Qian Chao, but no money was found at Qian Chao's residence. Chao was not found in Chengqi Hall, which made Tang Ping wonder for a while, wondering where Qian Xiaozi had gone.
With the help of the extremely fast flying spiritual sword, Qian Chao and Li Jian did not delay on the road, so it took less than a day to reach Ruixuan Town and find Liu Feng.
In the room on the second floor of the small shop "Yaqiji", Qian Chao and Li Jian met Zuo You again. Compared with the last time he was injured in the Wuling Sect, Zuo You looked even more embarrassed this time. The room There was a strong smell of medicine in it. Zuo Youjing was sitting on the bed with his upper body naked, his chest and back covered with fine linen cloth. His face was still pale after blood loss, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of energy. When he saw Liu Feng coming in with Qian Chao and Li Jian, he smiled and said:
"Brother Liu is really neat in doing things. I didn't expect that Brother Qian and Brother Li would come after I slept."
After listening to Zuo You's words, Liu Fengze said:
"You haven't slept at all. You've been in a coma for three days! Brother Qian, Brother Li, and Brother Zuo were almost exhausted when they came to find me. The injuries on their bodies were very serious, and there were many more. , he only said that you guys are in great danger, and asked me to try to inform you, and then he collapsed in my shop. I quickly sent someone to deliver the letter to you, and at the same time, I treated Brother Zuo. Fortunately, Brother Zuo has cultivated a lot. Yes, there is no danger for life, but I have regained some energy now."
"Haha, I have to thank Brother Liu a lot." Zuo You said with a smile again.
Qian Chao asked:
"Brother Zuo, what's going on with you? Could it be that Wen Liang sent someone to hunt you down?"
Zuo You said:
"Chasing me? Don't be kidding, Brother Qian, Brother Li, Wen Liang doesn't bother to care about a small fish like me. He was in the Wuling Sect back then, and he had something he wanted in me, so he spared no effort. He sent people to kill me, but those things got into your hands and I walked away. Why should he continue to cause trouble for me? It is you who are his real target. This time I come to You, the reason is this. After I left the Wuling Sect, I continued to do my... business. Occasionally, I found out about a person. Well, that guy’s surname was Peng. He was also a casual cultivator. He was a very cunning person. In his early years, he also He committed countless evil deeds and then disappeared. There were many bounties on his head. It is said that he found a secret place to retreat and attack the foundation. There has been no news about him for some years. I don’t know why he appeared this time. In my eyes, a guy like that is just a lot of spiritual stones. How could I let him go? Then I followed the clues in the message. Well, it went very smoothly. I succeeded in the sneak attack and killed the guy easily. , but it was on this guy that I found this..."
Zuo You said, taking out a letter and handing it over.
This letter was not named, but was written to a person named Peng. In the letter, the writer asked the person named Peng to help him do something, but did not say what it was. He only said how much he would be paid afterwards and how much was the deposit in advance. , if this person surnamed Peng is interested, he can go find someone somewhere to have a detailed discussion, that's all. However, the spiritual stone as a reward made Qian Chao's eyes jump. The spiritual stone as a down payment alone was enough. It is already a considerable sum. After receiving Liu Feng's letter, Qian Chao linked Zuo You's matter with Wen Liang. If it was Wen Liang who found this guy named Peng, it seemed that Wen Liang was really going to bleed a lot in order to get rid of Qian Chao this time. .
Li Jian was also looking at the letter. After reading it, Li Jian's face changed with shock and she said:
"Such a huge sum!"
Zuo You smiled again and said:
"Is that still a big number? Come on, take a look at these. Although the man named Peng has good methods, he is not the most powerful. At least I didn't get hurt when I killed him."
As Zuo You spoke, he took out a few more letters.
These letters are similar to the previous one. It can be seen that they are written by the same person. The difference is that the amount of remuneration or deposit mentioned in each letter is different, but as Zuo You said, they are all better than that one. The guy named Peng can get more spirit stones. Among them is a guy named Zhang. The reward offered in the letter is already a sky-high price in Qian Chao's opinion. Long before coming to Ruixuan Town, Qian Chao told Li Jian what Chu Yuan had said about finding him, so Li Jian could guess what the people who received the letter were going to do at this time, but looking at Looking at the rewards offered in the letters, Li Jian couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He secretly thought that the saying "money can make the world go round" is the same in the world of cultivation. It's just that the money is exchanged for spiritual stones. , if these people were invited by Wen Liang to deal with the five of them with a lot of spiritual stones, then Wen Liang must be determined this time, and he will achieve his goal even if he bleeds heavily.
Qian Chao briefly browsed through these letters, looked at Zuo You in surprise and asked:
"Could it be that...Brother Zuo, you went to the contact person as stated in the letter, restrained him, and interrogated him? Otherwise, how could Brother Zuo know who had received such a letter?"
This is indeed a key question. Li Jian looked at Zuo You after hearing this.
"Of course not. If I do that, I will definitely cause real trouble for myself. Brother Qian and Brother Li, I have been messing around in the spiritual world for some years, and I have been in the business of licking blood with the blade of a knife, so I will definitely I have my own source of information, otherwise how can I seek advantages and avoid disadvantages? This head would have been chopped off long ago. Well, let’s put it this way, after getting this letter from the guy named Peng, I asked him to I asked some trustworthy people to inquire about it, and as expected, I found out a lot of things. First of all, these letters were indeed from the Wuling Sect; secondly, some people who had received the letters had quietly entered the Wuling Sect. Lingzong; based on the information I found, I made a list myself. The people on it all received similar letters, and the people on the list were all people who were hunted down by bounties in the spiritual world, and they were all They are powerful people. What can you do with these people? Besides killing people, what else can you do? At that time, I suspected that this matter was related to the man named Wen Liang in your Wuling Sect. Maybe he spent a lot of money to find these people. In order to deal with you. So I started searching according to the list. Well, I killed one when I found one. Of course, I also asked them a lot before killing them. Finally, I asked some things from a kid. The guy told me As soon as he received the letter, he knew that it was written by a guy named Wen from the Wuling Sect. He had worked for that guy before. I almost died in the Wuling Sect with a guy named Wen. In the hands of a guy named Wen, how many people named Wen in your Five Spirits Sect can stir up troubles like this? That’s why I am sure that this matter must be related to the letters I found in the Five Spirits Sect, and The only people they want to get rid of are the five of you. At that time, I knew that you must have been targeted by Wen Liang. At that time, I followed my idea to kill some first and then send you a message. Alas, I thought more. Kill a few, so that there will be fewer gentle helpers. Unfortunately, I stopped when I reached a guy named Zhang. Hey, the wounds on my body were left by that guy named Zhang. That guy is very It's tricky, but I don't suffer. He hurt me, but I killed him, so it's even. Later, because of this injury, I naturally can't kill anymore, so I can only come to deliver a message to you. , who just came to Ruixuan Town and found Brother Liu."
After hearing this, Qian Chao bowed to Zuo You and said:
"Brother Zuo, I will remember your kindness!"
This Zuo You is indeed a rare or very rare casual cultivator. He can be regarded as a kind and righteous person. Qian Chao and others saw him in danger before and came to save him because they felt that this person still would not give up on him even when his life was at stake. I think this person is a good friend, but now I see that this person is still worth making friends with. I don’t know how much better than some nobles of the sect and the young masters of the aristocratic families.
Li Jian also bowed solemnly and said:
"Brother Zuo's kindness, Li Jian will also remember it in his heart."
"Hey, why bother? We are on the same page, so it doesn't have to be like this. But I brought the news. Now it depends on how you deal with it, Brother Qian. Wen Liang has invested a lot of money this time!"
Qian Chao nodded and said:
"We also have arrangements within the sect, and news has come in in the past few days. It must be the same thing. In order to deal with us, Wen Liang secretly went to war and invited several evil cultivators from outside..."
"What...evil cultivator!" This time it was Zuo You's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, it's an evil cultivator. I heard that we hired help from an evil weapon hall who doesn't know where. We are also planning this matter. Well, according to my idea, it is best to take advantage of this matter and take advantage of the situation. Maybe If you can capture that Wen Liang, you will be able to eliminate this scourge."
This is indeed something Qian Chao has been considering recently, but until now he has not had a mature idea.
After listening to Qian Chao's words, Zuo You looked at Qian Chao strangely and said:
"Brother Qian, it seems to me that you have underestimated the people Wen Liang found from outside. Even though I killed some, I basically succeeded in killing those people with a sudden attack. Brother Qian, please don't think of them." It's too simple, this is the list, it's all people who are going to work for Wen Liang, hey, you guys take a look first."
Zuo You handed over a piece of paper, which was full of people's names. Several names had been crossed out, and they must have died in Zuo You's hands. Qian Chao and Li Jian didn't think anything of it. After all, they had never really walked in the world of spiritual practice. They were very unfamiliar with the names above. They didn't know what methods and reputation these people had before, but At this time, Liu Feng on the side was also looking at the piece of paper sideways. Qian Chao and Li Jian handed it to him after reading it. Liu Feng held the piece of paper and read the names one by one. His expression changed from surprised at first to later on. The flesh on his cheeks began to twitch, and his eyes opened wider and wider. Finally, he couldn't help but say:
"This...the people here are all extremely evil people. Brother Qian, you must be more careful. Moreover, brother Zuo, how did the man surnamed Wen find Yan Ding? Didn't you say that man is dead? "
Who is Yan Ding? Qian Chao and Li Jian naturally didn't know. After hearing Liu Feng's words, they both looked at Zuo You.
Zuo You said:
"Yan Ding, in the early years... hey... in the early years, he would not have looked at me directly. This Yan Ding was a foundation-building casual cultivator. He had done too many evil things, so he was almost full He is being hunted all over the world, not only within the territory of your Wuling Sect, but also within the territory of Muyang Sect, and the territories of several other sects. There are rewards for hunting him down, which together add up to a sky-high price of spiritual stones. , the huge number is staggering. As for his fate, some people said that he died, others said that he lived in seclusion, preparing to break through the bottleneck of forming pills. In short, there was no news about him for many years, so people talked about him. He is already dead, and he is somewhat thankful for this, but in fact, it is not the case. It was Yan Ding who did not know what kind of evil deed he did in the end, and finally angered the elders of a big family. In this way, he attracted more than one knot. Monk Dan's pursuit, well, if they were really going against each other, no matter how cunning and treacherous Yan Ding was, he would definitely die. Therefore, he had to make a dangerous move and a golden cicada came to escape..."
Qian Chao understood immediately and said:
"Seize the body?"
"Yes, this is the method. Well, the people who are chasing Yan Ding also know that this guy escaped by taking the body, but they don't know where and what Yan Ding looks like after taking the body, so they can't If you don’t give up, of course, Yan Ding has been keeping a low profile since seizing the house, and has disappeared from people’s eyes and ears since then. What I can find out here is that it seems that Yan Ding’s seizure of the house was very hasty, so it was impossible to do it well in advance After making a choice, the physical body he took seemed to have very average qualifications, so his subsequent practice did not go very well, which made him very distressed. Well, it was probably for this reason that he took the risk to do things. Well, after all, that guy Wen Liang will definitely offer Yan Ding a good price so that he doesn't have to worry about what he needs for practice in the future. As for how Wen Liang knew Yan Ding's identity after he seized his body, I didn't find out, but this time There is indeed this person on the list, Brother Qian. Even if this guy is not a foundation-building practitioner, the reason why he had such a bad reputation before was not entirely due to his methods, but more to his cunning. There are other people on that list, many of whom I can give you a picture of, and they are all notorious and extremely difficult to deal with in the spiritual world. So, Brother Qian, you are really in big trouble this time! "
