Yang Zhicheng sat cross-legged on the bed, with the Red Rainbow Sword on his lap and closed his eyes to rest.
"Who?!" Yang Zhicheng suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, picked up the Red Rainbow Sword, and looked around. The door was closed tightly, with no trace of it being opened, and he was alone in the room.
Yang Zhicheng held the sword in his right hand and pressed it against the wall. With his left hand, he opened the door to a crack. No one was seen outside the house.
"Did I hear wrongly?" Yang Zhicheng sat back on the bed with suspicion. He just heard some movement while he was concentrating with his eyes closed, and he immediately became alert.
He noticed a chill lingering in many parts of his body. When he lowered his head, he saw numerous tears in his clothes and stains of blood.
Yang Zhicheng felt something bad, and the fiery red mist instantly filled his body. He reached out for the sword again, but the Red Rainbow Sword was gone. Just as Yang Zhicheng was about to stand up, the fiery red mist on his body dissipated little by little.
Yang Zhicheng's head drooped weakly, and the pupils in his eyes were dilated...
"Brother Xie, there's something a bit uneasy right now. You have to be careful." Zuo Yi glanced at the wooden sword Xie Wule was leaning against the bed and said.
"Brother Zuo Yi, do you know what's going on? Even the gang competition was stopped." Xie Wule asked.
"I'm not sure either. Brother Xie, has he changed his weapon? I saw you were very fond of this wooden sword before, and you were reluctant to use it even though you carried it on your back."
"Hehe, Brother Zuo Yi is joking. This wooden sword was given to me by an old friend of mine. It is not suitable for use in the competition. I only use it for sword practice. If it is damaged, the old friend's efforts will be in vain." Xie Wule explained.
"That's right." Zuo Yi nodded clearly, took off his sword and put it on the table: "Brother Xie, if you don't mind, use this sword first."
"Then why are you embarrassed? I used it. Brother Zuo Yi, what did you use?" Xie Wule hurriedly refused.
On the sword on the left, a sloping golden pattern on the scabbard divides the jet black scabbard into two halves. The hilt also has a golden pattern extending from the scabbard alternately with black, which looks very elegant. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this sword is good without taking it out of its sheath.
Zuo Yi lowered his head and smiled, then pushed the long sword forward: "Brother Xie, don't worry, I rarely use a sword. I just feel that hanging a sword on my body seems more chic. I will hang it this time."
"Besides, these are extraordinary times. Brother Xie will be in danger if he doesn't have weapons."
Xie Wule wanted to push the sword back, but the sword was blocked by Zuo Yi and did not move at all. After looking at Zuo Yi's serious expression, Xie Wule couldn't refuse and could only accept: "Then thank you Brother Zuo Yi for your kindness."
"By the way, why didn't Miss Luonan come with you today?" Xie Wule asked again.
"Miss Luonan has some things to do today, so she didn't come over." Zuo Yi replied, and then stood up: "I'm going back first. Brother Xie, please pay more attention."
"Brother Zuo Yi is the same."
After Xie Wule sent Zuo Yi away, he picked up the long sword on the table and exerted a slight force.
"Qiang!"
The sword is unsheathed.
Xie Wule took the sword back again and couldn't help but admired: "What a sword!"
He sighed again: "Oh~ Brother Zuo Yi treated me like this, what should I give in return?" Xie Wule laughed at himself, saying that he had nothing.
Resting on his legs on the bed for a while, Xie Wule opened his eyes. Xie Wule was still a little concerned about stopping the gang competition. He stood up, straightened his clothes, put the wooden sword on his back, and hung the long sword just given on the left on his waist. , push the door open and go out.
Inside the academy, it seems to be the same as usual. Gangsters can be seen gathering in twos and threes everywhere to talk about something.
However, their faces were somewhat gloomy.
Xie Wule walked over: "Excuse me, brothers, what happened these days?" Xie Wule usually stayed in his room except for going out during the competition, so he was very poorly informed. Even the gang competition was stopped. Zuo Yi also told him the news.
Upon hearing this, these people looked at each other a few times, and looked at Xie Wule with an expression that said, "You don't even know this."
Human beings have a natural desire to share, and it is more in line with human nature to spread publicity than to keep secrets. When Xie Wule asked, several people started talking about it.
"No way, brother, it's been spreading in every gang these days, don't you know?"
"Well, let's start with the first incident, when Wang Fugui was killed."
"Brother, I've heard about Wang Fugui's murder. I don't want to trouble my brothers to waste any more time." Xie Wule interrupted.
The few of them looked at each other again and made a light cut. They didn't expect that someone would still grab this. Doesn’t this mean that there are fewer parts that you can brag about?
"Okay, okay."
"After Wang Fugui was killed, everyone thought it was a vendetta. Several elders asked but found no useful information and couldn't infer anything. In the end, they just left it alone."
"The next few days were peaceful and nothing happened. I thought this matter would be over, but guess what?"
"The second victim appears!"
"This second victim is not an easy one. He is Yang Zhicheng from the Fengxue Gang. He is one of the representatives of the Fengxue Gang's elite level. He has mastered the "Long Yan Heart Jue" skill and is equipped with a low-grade weapon. Intermediate spiritual weapons can be said to be invincible."
Xie Wule did not interrupt these people's exaggerated descriptions and frowned slightly, Yang Zhicheng? Another person who has had a relationship with him.
"In the end, he died tragically in his room."
"And the sword that penetrated his chest was his sword, Red Rainbow!"
"And there is still a gap in the Red Rainbow Sword, although no one saw what happened at that time."
"But this gap alone shows that before Yang Zhicheng was killed, there was a fierce battle with his killer."
"But here's the doubt! Since a fierce battle broke out, it would definitely have made a huge noise, but other people living next door said they didn't hear any movement."
"This shows that the perpetrator is either proficient in formations and has isolated the sound through the barrier. Or..."
"There are accomplices! Or maybe they bribed people who live near Yang Zhicheng!"
"This is the second tragedy that occurred during the competition. The elders naturally paid more attention to it and immediately arrived at Yang Zhicheng's residence to launch an investigation."
"But who would have thought that just when the investigating elders focused their attention on the area where Yang Zhicheng lives, tragedies would occur one after another in other places."
Hearing this, Xie Wule also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that no one related to him was killed.
"Just like this, one after another, more than three hundred people died in total!"
"And these people all have several common characteristics, that is, they are either qualified to enter the academy, or they have obvious advantages."
"In response to this, the elders of the thirteen gangs were furious. They all investigated the matter and directly stopped the competition. They also gathered all the gang members who had reached the realm of transformation from the thirteen gangs. They were bound to catch this person. Not a bad person."
"It really made people panic. Fortunately, I didn't make the cut, and there's nothing special about me."
"Yeah, me too."
Xie Wule also understood why Brother Zuo came here to hand over his sword to him. He also knew what Miss Luonan had done. He nodded and said, "Thank you brothers for letting me know."
"It's okay, it's okay." The desire for expression of these people was greatly satisfied, and they all smiled happily.
"By the way, brother, have you qualified for promotion? If so, be careful!"
"Maybe you will be next!"
Seeing Xie Wule stunned, several people thought he was frightened. After laughing loudly, they comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, since the elders of the thirteen gangs are now investigating the matter, even if the murderer is not caught in time, The murderer probably won’t dare to take action again during this period.”
Xie Wule said goodbye to everyone.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Jiang Tianliang looked around at everyone and asked in an old voice: "Have you discovered anything?"
No one answered, and there was dead silence. After everyone came forward to investigate, no clues were revealed, and several more incidents occurred.
"Alas~" Jiang Tianliang sighed: "You don't have to be like this, just say whatever comes to mind."
Qing Chenfeng looked at the person next to him and said, "Mi Ru and I have checked everywhere and there are no problems with the college's boundaries, so..."
Ye Mingshu glanced at Qing Chenfeng and said, "You want to say that we have internal problems? Do you know how our gangs have transitioned over the years? Where did the spies come in?!"
Qing Chenfeng shook his head: "I know that in recent years, everyone has strictly checked those who want to join the gang. All gang members have been strictly examined, but can you guarantee that there will be no spies among them?"
Everyone was silent again, Qing Chenfeng's words were completely reasonable.
"However, to kill so many people, and they are all the best among the gangs, it is absolutely impossible to do this just relying on the strength of the gangs..." Mi Ru, who was beside Qing Chenfeng, continued. road.
Ye Mingshu slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "Mi Ru, open your eyes and take a good look! Haven't you known the person here for more than thirty years? What do you mean by this now?"
"Is it possible that I am a spy? Is it possible that Mr. Jiang is a spy?"
"Ye Mingshu, Mi Ru didn't say that. We haven't decided yet. Your attitude is like this, so everyone has to doubt you." A plump woman glanced at Ye Mingshu and said leisurely.
"Bai Xue, if you doubt me, just come and check! Am I guilty?" Ye Mingshu kicked the woman who just spoke.
Bai Xue smiled tenderly: "I don't dare~ If you really find out something, you must not kill them."
"You!" Ye Mingshu was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Jiang Tianliang sighed again: "I believe everyone, let's stop here for today, everyone will investigate again, be more vigilant, and don't let the accident happen again! "
Ye Mingshu snorted coldly, stood up and left with a flourish of his sleeves.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and then left one after another.
After Xie Wule heard the news, he returned to the house, opened the window, and ventilated the room.
And the moment he opened the window, he saw a person following Zuo Yi furtively, not knowing where he was going. Xie Wule recalled the rumors he heard today, touched the sword on his waist with one hand, and immediately rushed out of the house...
