Night shrouded the mountains, and even if there were clouds and fog, the lively laughter at the wine table still came from Baoqi Tower.
A thin figure appeared from the exit of the corridor and headed straight to the east.
This body technique was mysterious and light. Under the cover of the night, it did not cause any movement, and soon arrived at Yangyuan Valley hundreds of miles away.
Yangyuan Valley is at the easternmost end of the Yunxing Mountains. Exiting this valley means leaving the boundaries of the Yunxing Mountains. For casual cultivators, it also means leaving the protection and control of the Lin family.
Even now, there are several groups of powerful bandits around Yangyuan Valley, specifically targeting the lone cultivators.
But this casual cultivator did the opposite. Not only was he alone, he also chose to act at night.
Sure enough, when he took the first step out of the valley, a group of men in black stopped him.
However, what makes people a little confused is that the group of men in black who blocked the road were extremely cautious. They did not kill people and seize the treasure immediately, nor did they speak out first. The two sides were more than ten feet apart, and they both kept their voices and breaths for fear of exposing something. Same.
Finally, a deliberately suppressed voice sounded in the open space in front of the valley entrance: "Where are you coming from?"
The casual cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, his chest kept rising and falling, and while adjusting his breath, he walked towards the man in black and replied: "Spring God Mountain."
The tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and the man in black who asked the question was the first to come forward and said, "The goods have arrived. When will the Lord want it?"
The casual cultivator chuckled: "Of course, the faster, the better."
The man in black nodded and suddenly pointed at the center of the other person's eyebrows. The cultivator groaned and fell to the ground in pain, breathing heavily.
There was no trace of pity in the eyes of the man in black, and he said with indifference: "This is a special brand of divine consciousness. Just bear with it, but since you dare to get involved, you should be prepared to die if you are exposed."
The casual cultivator had a splitting headache, and his consciousness felt as if an iron block had been forced into it.
He knew in his heart that if the information of the divine consciousness brand was not unlocked by the right person, the sea of consciousness would collapse immediately. He did not dare to delay. He sat cross-legged on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I have exhausted my strength by exerting my body skills with all my strength, and I need to regain my strength." The elixir."
The man in black nodded slightly, and someone immediately came forward to provide him with the elixir.
The whole exchange process was extremely short. After a cup of tea, the casual cultivator stood up and returned the same way.
At this time, another voice finally emerged among the men in black: "Is it his intention to set the slogan as Spring God Mountain?"
Hearing this, the man in black looked at the figure at the back of the crowd who was melting into the darkness, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, but I don't know why the Second Young Master arranged this."
The man frowned in disgust and strode in the other direction: "What you just said to the casual cultivator, I will give it to you intact."
Watching the distinguished young master leave, someone said worriedly: "Chief, what kind of information is it? It deserves to be so cautious, and even we have used it in advance."
The leader of the men in black stood in silence for a long time, sighed slowly, and said: "There is going to be chaos in the Western Mountains. Please tell the brothers to be quiet during this time."
The night wind whistled loudly, but it could not cover the beating of the heart in the chest. The casual cultivator who had completed half of the mission had already begun to look forward to the bright future after completion, but did not notice that the stars falling in front of him were too scattered.
In just an instant, the casual cultivator lost consciousness in mid-air, and fell towards the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off. However, just when he was about to hit the ground with his face, a black shadow lightly passed by, caught him, and disappeared at the same time. In the night ahead.
Yue Jiu's face turned slightly pale, and she quickly passed through the mountain forest with the unconscious cultivator.
Everything tonight begins in the room in Baoqi Building.
When the casual cultivator pushed open the door and broke into the room, he just felt that the other person looked familiar or had seen him somewhere, but he didn't really become suspicious yet.
It wasn't until what this person said later that he remembered that when he saw the caravan in Baidi City yesterday, this rogue fellow happened to be right next to him.
Once some pieces of information match up, your intuition will become sharper.
Yue Jiu intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this person, so after taking the initiative to say goodbye to Xiao Gaofeng, she waited outside Baoqi Tower until midnight.
Fortunately, it's all worth it.
The only thing that made Yue Jiu regretful was that when the casual cultivator was talking to the man in black, he didn't get too close. At that time, his sword heart was touched, and he faintly sensed that he would be discovered if he went any further. So much so that he could only choose to take action when he was returning from casual cultivation.
This casual cultivator was at a high level. He was already at the peak of the spiritual life realm, and he was also good at movement skills. Yue Jiu was following him in secret, and he had to prevent being discovered by the masters among the men in black. The consumption was not low.
After confirming that he could not crack the spiritual imprint in the sea of consciousness of the man in black with his own ability, Yue Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally changed his direction and did not go to his cave. Instead, he went to the northwest based on his memory. .
Spring God Mountain is over there, and there are not many people he can trust in Xishan. It can be said that they are all there.
Not long after Yue Jiu changed direction, a sword light suddenly went westward in the night and returned to a cave somewhere in the Yunxing Mountains.
In the cave, Lin Luo dropped a black stone on the chessboard, stood up and looked at the opponent, smiling: "Brother's sword is very fast, is this a round trip?"
Lin Xiu looked coldly and said, "I was a little late when I rushed over, and the casual cultivator was caught."
"Oh?" Lin Luo returned to his original position, dropped another white piece, and said, "Can you confirm the identity of the person who made the move?"
Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Luo. After being silent for a while, he said: "That casual cultivator was caught, and the plan may be known to others at any time."
"Brother, don't worry." Lin Luo withdrew his eyes from the chessboard, looked at Lin Xiu and said, "This is actually expected. Please tell me what you found there first."
Lin Xiu's eyes were cold and he said slowly: "The other party was very cautious, and the way he took action was a bit special. He did not leave any traces of the attack, and the aura of the casual cultivator has completely disappeared."
Lin Luo nodded slowly and said after a moment: "This person is probably Yue Jiu."
Hearing this name, Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Is this the sword cultivator who is very close to Ling Yan?"
"Yes." Lin Luo said: "Chief Xiao once talked about this person to me, saying that although his swordsmanship is far inferior to that of his elder brother, his prospects are immeasurable."
Lin Xiu said expressionlessly: "It is indeed good to be able to use mental power in the way of swordsmanship at the extraordinary level. It is normal to deal with a casual cultivator without leaving traces, but there are not a few people who can reach the Xishan realm without leaving traces. .”
Lin Luo smiled, pointed in a certain direction, and said: "The reason why I thought it was him is because he waited outside Baoqi Building for a long time. He was indeed very cautious. After the casual cultivator left, he passed by It took a while to catch up.”
Lin Xiu frowned: "Now that we have discovered it, why do we still let it happen?"
Lin Luo said: "This is why I asked my eldest brother not to be anxious. Although killing Mu Qing is a very important thing, there are other things more important than this."
Lin Luo faced Lin Xiu's scrutinizing gaze and said slowly word by word: "The attitude of the mistress is more important than killing Mu Qing."
Lin Xiu frowned and said, "If this happens, Chief Xiao will die, and many people in Xishan Realm will die."
Lin Luo said noncommittally: "Since Chief Xiao accepted my suggestion, he should have realized that whether things succeed or not, it is impossible to return to the Western Mountain Realm. Now, what will happen to him in the end has nothing to do with us. All this I did was actually for you, big brother."
"Me?" Lin Xiu looked at Lin Luo with doubts.
Lin Luo nodded seriously and said: "Miss is about to return to the Western Mountain Realm, so the family masters never want the Western Mountain Realm to be in chaos at this time, but if the mistress still chooses to send people to stop Chief Xiao at this time, some things will It’s been confirmed.”
Lin Xiu's frown became deeper and deeper, and his eyes became colder and colder.
Lin Luo sighed softly: "If it is true that many people will die as you said, then it only means that the head of the family will never compromise for the stability of the Lin family. Brother, you will not have the opportunity to marry the young lady, let alone become a wife." The heir to the Lin family."
"Actually, when the head of the family didn't kill Mu Qing, we should have figured out that they wanted the young lady to be the next head of the Lin family."
Lin Xiu frowned and said, "How can a woman be the head of the Lin family?"
Lin Luo smiled bitterly, looked to the northwest, and said, "The realm of Yue Jiu is far inferior to that of my elder brother. I rushed to Spring God Mountain overnight. Maybe we will know the attitude of the mistress as soon as tomorrow morning."
Lin Xiu shook his head. The head of the family was able to forcibly kill the elders for the sake of his daughter despite the power of the Lin family split, which proved the weight of blood and family ties in his heart. Ling Qingzhu and Lin Langtian were one, and some things may no longer be the same. Need to wait until tomorrow.
"We have to go see the elder immediately." Lin Xiu said.
Lin Luo shook his head and said: "Playing chess is a matter of coming and going. Maybe the mistress and the others can consider the current situation of the Lin family and make a surprising decision. Wouldn't that be better for the eldest brother?"
Lin Xiu's heart shivered slightly, and he looked at him deeply and said, "How much have you calculated? It is said that the head of the family ignored the danger of civil strife in the Lin family and was never sure of the successor, but now I only see how you caused the Lin family to be in chaos. "
Lin Luo smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you think too highly of me. I don't have this ability. The killing of Mu Qing was originally a test of the elders' attitude towards the family leader. This matter is not only for us who are involved, but also for those of us in the Western Mountain Realm." Countless people are watching too.”
Lin Xiu was silent for a long time, looked into Lin Luo's eyes, and said in a serious tone: "I have always believed in the saying that after breaking, there will be a new one, but there is one thing that I have never understood."
Lin Luo was thoughtful and said softly: "What is the elder doing?"
Lin Xiuxu narrowed his eyes and said with a dazed look: "He has found immortality. In order to let his descendants control the Lin family, he silently supports us, but when it comes to that moment, what does he want? Or does he not care about this. "
Lin Luo said: "Does the elder brother have the answer?"
"No." Lin Xiu lowered his gaze and looked at the ground, "I only saw that the Lin family started to get into chaos because of us."
