Change clothes, go out, look for opportunities, commit murder, and return after touching the corpse!
Li Yuan's movements were smooth and smooth, without any delay.
With the blessing of Liuhe Boots, he was able to cross a small distance of a hundred meters with one step at a time, and did not disturb any of the patrolling disciples until he returned to the house.
When he first started, he was groping to get familiar with the environment.
"call!"
It wasn't until he closed the door that Li Yuan let out a breath of turbid air. The sweat and rain were filled with water vapor due to the high body temperature.
It only took a few minutes from the time of violence to touching the body, but it still took a huge amount of physical and mental energy. When he relaxed, he felt sore all over.
After swallowing a blood-increasing pill, Li Yuan thought about what happened tonight, thinking that he had not missed anything. Thanks to the blessing of Liuhe boots, even if there were patrolling disciples on the road, he could easily avoid them.
"Zhizhi~"
Under the bed, the little mouse screamed in terror, and his gray hairs stood up all over his body. He was very sensitive and full of intelligence.
"Well, except for this little mouse."
Li Yuan glanced at it and quickly changed his clothes.
Put away the linen clothes, bamboo hat, boots, human skin mask and his short-handled drum hammer.
With a shake of strength, the chill was dispelled, and my whole body felt refreshed.
"As expected of the fourth true disciple, resisting attack."
Li Yuan lit the oil lamp and sat down, thinking about today's battle.
The blessing of Liuhe Boots was somewhat beyond his expectation. Na Ding Zhi's speed and reaction were completely crushed by him, but his strength of resistance was still astonishing.
If it hadn't been for a violent blow that destroyed his right hand and forced him to be unable to hold the sword, tonight might not have been so smooth.
"Shapeshifters should not be underestimated."
Li Yuan took off the "golden gloves" and moved his numb fingers:
"The strength reaches one foot, and the energy reaches three feet. The inner energy is really fierce, even a heavy hammer can't completely isolate the inner energy... If it weren't for these gloves, I'm afraid I would still be injured."
The inner energy being one foot away from the body was already the limit, but the penetration and explosive power of the inner energy were so amazing that his internal organs were impacted by the final collision.
This is because the gloves cut off most of the internal air.
"With the blessing of the palm soldiers, my strength, explosive power, and speed are all superior to Ding Zhi's. Even with a sneak attack, the odds of winning this battle are mine."
Li Yuan is doing a post-war review.
From the first time he took action until now, he has maintained this good habit, analyzing gains and losses, and learning lessons and experiences.
Compared with the initial sneak attack on Qin Xiong, he now knows how to choose locations and create opportunities.
"I have a chance of winning if I go head-on, but sneak attacks are undoubtedly important. Without that sudden attack, maybe I wouldn't be able to kill him tonight?"
Li Yuan weighed the gains and losses, comparing the gap between him and the shape-changing warrior.
Finally draw a conclusion.
"You only have one life, and sneak attacks are also a way to defeat the enemy."
After a while, when the sting on his body disappeared, Li Yuan opened the door. The night rain was still heavy, and all traces of his return were washed away.
Through the night rain, he could faintly hear exclamations and footsteps coming closer and closer, as if someone was coming to Hammer Soldier Hall.
"If a true successor dies, the Valley of Divine Weapons will probably boil."
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He thought that the time he chose was good. During this period, someone was already targeting the Divine Weapon Valley, so the blame could be thrown out easily.
Even if he couldn't get rid of him, the one who killed Ding Zhi was a sallow-faced middle-aged man with a short hammer. What does it have to do with his newly tempered body and the promising dragon-shaped true successor?
Tempering the body to kill and change shape, not to mention the Divine Weapon Valley, there are only a few examples in Zhelong Mansion for thousands of years.
"Well, it has nothing to do with me."
Maybe he consumed too much and Li Yuan was a little hungry.
He went to the kitchen to light a fire, fried a few side dishes, made a pot of tea, and ate slowly while listening to the sound of wind and rain outside.
After finishing the meal and drinking all the tea, his mind completely calmed down.
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps also came closer from far away, and there was a knock on the door.
'Bang bang' sounded:
"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Li!"
"Senior Brother Gao?"
Li Yuan waited for someone to come, and immediately stood up and opened the door: "Senior Brother Gao, why are you here so late?"
"As long as you're okay."
Gao Gang took off his bamboo hat and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yuan was fine:
"problem occurs."
"Ding Zhi is dead!"
…
Click!
It rained heavily all night, and in the morning it was still cloudy and gray, with thunder dragons and electric snakes running around from time to time.
The atmosphere in the brightly lit Shanmen Hall was depressing. Everyone looked at the puddle of mud wrapped in straw mats on the ground with gloomy faces.
"Ding Zhi is dead!"
In the main hall, Qiu Zhengxiong slapped the table heavily, his beard and hair all tangled:
"Bold, so bold!"
Qiu Zhengxiong was like an angry lion, walking back and forth in the hall, furious.
In the main hall, after searching for a whole night, all the disciples who almost turned over the Divine Weapon Valley were soaked to death, and Li Yuan was no exception.
Gong Yangyu, Shi Hong and several elders are not here. At this moment, he and Qiu Changying are the only true successors in the hall, and the elders are only Feng Zhongxi from the outer door.
At this moment, all the disciples looked ugly.
The dignified true successor was killed in the mountain gate. Regardless of their relationship with Ding Zhi, all of them had cold faces at this moment, very frightened, angry, and even a little frightened.
Just thinking that there is a murderer hidden in the mountain gate who can kill even the true disciples makes everyone feel uneasy.
"If you dare to kill the true successor of our sect in the mountain gate, for the first time in fifty years, no matter who he is, you will die!"
Qiu Zhengxiong was furious, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly depressed.
Li Yuan followed the crowd without saying a word, with a heavy look on his face.
Qiu Zhengxiong looked at the disciple who was examining the corpse and asked:
"Ding Zhi was killed by what kind of martial arts in Feng Er Middle School? How did he die?"
"this……"
The disciple who inspected the corpse looked pale, his throat squirmed a few times, and then he bowed:
"The muscles, bones, skin and flesh are all broken to pieces. The thief's attack was too brutal. He must have used a heavy hammer... martial arts. No trace of internal energy was found."
Feng Erzhong lowered his head and resisted the urge to retching.
In addition to him, several disciples also came out to check the body, and they all said the same thing at this moment.
"A heavy hammer?"
Qiu Zhengxiong glanced at the people in Hammer Soldier Hall and frowned:
"I don't know how many hammer masters there are in Huizhou. What about martial arts? What moves did you use? What qigong did you use?"
"this……"
Feng Erzhong's scalp was numb, but he could only shake his head.
The heavy rain washed away all traces, leaving only this mutilated corpse.
To be able to see these things from a puddle of mud is already a sign of their rich experience in autopsy.
"Elder Qiu, she's awake!"
At this time, a disciple came out of the side hall and supported a pale-faced woman.
The woman was greatly frightened, trembling, her eyes full of panic and fear, and she even forgot to salute.
"Lin Fu'er, what happened last night?"
Qiu Zhengxiong spoke in a low voice, calling the woman out of her panic: "Who killed your man? How come you are still alive?!"
"Ah! No, don't..."
The woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Several female disciples came to support her and comfort her, and she finally recovered from the fright.
"The boss!"
The woman threw herself on the straw mat, crying so hard that the pear blossoms brought rain.
Qiu Zhengxiong was furious, but he could only hold back and wait for the woman to calm down before asking again:
"What happened last night?!"
"me……"
The woman's face was full of tears, and it took her a while to talk about what happened last night.
"...It rained heavily last night, the master was drinking, and in the yard, the red arowana screamed miserably...
…”
Li Yuan listened quietly.
This woman had just gained strength and was timid. When he attacked last night, she just ran away in fear. If he hadn't deliberately shown his face, she wouldn't have been able to see anything clearly.
"Red Arowana?"
Qiu Changying frowned slightly and glanced at Li Yuan. She remembered that there seemed to be some friction between the two a few days ago.
However, it was only a moment, and she already shook her head.
Although this kid is cunning and has good light skills, he has just completed the body tempering. Even with the magic weapon, he can't kill Ding Zhi.
"Did you see the murderer's face?!"
Qiu Zhengxiong's face was full of astonishment, and the other disciples in the hall also frowned, confused and surprised.
"The murderer was so cruel, you saw his face and he didn't die?"
Fengzhong was already frowning.
"Come here, portrait!"
Qiu Zhengxiong was surprised and doubtful. He waved his hand and a disciple came forward with pen and paper.
Soon, based on what the woman said, a portrait was drawn.
He had messy black hair, a sallow complexion, and a ferocious expression. He was carrying a heavy hammer with a short handle that could hit a human head.
'The painting looks so similar? "
Li Yuan glanced at it and couldn't help but be surprised. This painter was quite skilled.
"This person……"
Qiu Zhengxiong frowned, Qiu Changying took the drawing paper, looked at it carefully and compared it, then shook her head:
"It's not a famous master from the Eight Prefectures, nor is it on the wanted list. It's either a few hidden masters, or it's a disguise..."
She handed the portrait to several disciples in the Overwatch Hall. The disciples compared it and shook their heads, not impressed.
"Disguising yourself shows that there is something wrong in your heart!"
Qiu Zhengxiong took the portrait, looked at it, and slammed the table: "Publish this painting throughout the government and offer a reward for this person, a big reward!"
"yes!"
The disciples in the Overwatch Hall bowed in agreement, took the scroll and stuffed it into their arms, turned around and walked into the rain curtain.
"Chang Ying, mobilize eight teams of divine guards to seal the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the sect anymore!"
Qiu Zhengxiong ordered with a stern face, instructing the disciples and elders:
"Junior Brother Feng, summon all the outer sect and handyman disciples and search the entire mountain sect. Be sure not to let go of anything suspicious!"
"As you command!"
Fengzhong already bowed to accept the order and quickly walked out of the palace.
"Ganji, go and inform those old guys in the valley and ask them to move too!"
"Shangguan Lie! Go to the Soldier-casting Valley and inform Elder Jing and Elder Lei..."
"Bu Xiang, Ji Zhi, Du Yi..."
…
Qiu Zhengxiong called the names one by one and gave the order, and everyone bowed to accept the order.
"Gaogang!"
Qiu Zhengxiong looked at everyone in Hammer Soldier Hall.
Gao Gang's heart tightened: "The disciple is here."
"You Hammer Soldier Hall is proficient in all kinds of hammering techniques. Find out the martial arts this person uses!"
"..."
After taking one look at the puddle of mud, Gao Gang gritted his teeth and accepted the order.
"Li Yuan!"
Finally, Qiu Zhengxiong looked at Li Yuan, who bowed.
"Before you find this murderer, you move to Lichen Hall and don't stay too far away from me!"
"ah?"
Li Yuan was startled, but he really didn't expect this.
"Among the top ten true disciples in the sect, you are the latest to get started, the weakest in martial arts, and the best in bones. If the murderer wants to take action, it will most likely be you!"
Qiu Zhengxiong's face was as dark as water, and he could not resist:
"you are not willing?"
"...Disciple, I obey."
Li Yuan bowed to accept the order, feeling a little strange in his heart.
This old guy wants to use himself as bait to catch himself?
Or are you really prepared to protect yourself to prevent the murderer from attacking you?
"Follow me!"
Qiu Zhengxiong fluttered his sleeves and went out.
Li Yuan followed him into the heavy rain.
…
…
The death of Zhenzhuan made the entire Divine Weapon Valley furious.
Valley Lord Gong Yangyu took action and picked out all the secrets of the three major sects, Qianjun Cave, Sanyuanwu, and Liexue Mountain, and hung their corpses in front of the city.
Three thousand Divine Guards plowed the entire city and captured countless wanted criminals, as well as fish that had slipped through the net over the years.
More than a dozen evil cultists were found, and more than 3,000 people from multiple families who colluded with them were arrested and killed.
The unrest spread from the inside out and even spread to nearby counties.
The fleeing wanted criminals, horse bandits, mountain bandits, and bandits were swept away, and heads of people were killed, and the water of the Grand Canal turned red.
On the eleventh day after Ding Zhi was killed, Su Wanxiong, the helmsman of the Evil God Sect, was caught. The two elders of the inner sect took action, severely wounding him and fleeing in embarrassment.
All the masters under his command were captured and killed.
At this point, the evil sect's branch in Zhelong Mansion was uprooted, and Su Wanxiong only escaped with his own life.
The turmoil caused by Zhenzhuan's death has not subsided yet.
The three major sects who were picked on Anzi were all furious and refused to admit the assassination of the "Elite List" and the death of Ding Zhi. In order to retaliate, they also captured the Anzi from Shenbing Valley and beheaded them one by one.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in Zhelong Mansion.
The knife-catchers and charlatans disappeared one after another, sensing the coming storm.
Almost not long after, a piece of news came, making the already shocked Zhelong Mansion even more excited.
"It was Qianjun Cave that caused the turmoil in Pinggou County? They actually colluded with the Evil God Cult?!"
"Elder Han killed the two elders of the inner sect of Qianjun Cave in one battle. Three hundred elite Qianjun Guards?" ! "
"No, some people say that Han Chuijun is murderous, and the two elders of Qianjun Cave just looked at him and killed the whole family!"
"The Master of Qianjun Cave has come out of seclusion and wants to ask Elder Han for an explanation..."
…
After the news about Pinggou County spread, not only Zhelong Mansion was shocked, but nearby counties and even the Dechang Mansion were also in an uproar.
It has only been a few decades since the last fighting between the four major sects, and many of the older generation masters who experienced that battle are still alive.
…
"puff!"
In a mountain forest, Su Wanxiong stumbled to the ground, coughing up blood, his gray face full of shock, anger and depression:
"I didn't kill your true disciple!"
With a roar, Su Wanxiong coughed up another mouthful of blood. His expression was ferocious, his eyes were red, and he was no longer ready to escape.
If he continued to escape, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight.
Phew~
There seemed to be a sound of wind approaching.
Su Wanxiong's eyes were fierce and he was about to explode when he suddenly felt relieved.
In the dense forest, a middle-aged man wearing armor stood on the treetops with cold eyes: "I haven't seen you for several months, but Captain Su has become a lost dog?"
"Meng Zhan!"
Su Wanxiong let out a long breath and said with a cold expression, "Are you here to see my joke?"
"A joke? If the Divine Weapon Valley is not eliminated for a day, how can I, the Master of the Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, not be a joke?"
The armored middle-aged man twitched his lips and said in a deep voice:
"I want to see your hall master!"
