Piaomiao Sect!
The contradiction between Nirvana Palace and Juexian Palace is getting bigger and bigger.
Although after Zhao Wuji's death, Lin Tiantung, the main hall master of Juexian Palace, "came out" to take charge of the situation, he still could not calm down the anger of many disciples of Juexian Palace.
After all, Zhao Wuji is a figure at the level of deputy palace master. He has many close followers and many direct disciples around him.
These people provoke and cause trouble outside the Nirvana Palace every day, threatening to severely punish the murderers.
In this regard, the senior leaders of Piaomiao Sect were helpless.
After all, what was triggered this time was "public outrage", which would be difficult to calm down in a short while.
…
Nirvana Hall!
"Is there no news about Xiao Nuo yet?"
In the meeting hall, you should feel free to ask the elders.
There was sadness between her brows.
Elder Xiu shook his head.
"It's not an option to wait forever. I'll go find the third elder..." Ying Jinhuan said and was about to go out.
Elder Xiu raised his hand to stop him, and shook his head slightly: "The third elder has also been very busy with various things recently. You may not be able to see him if you go."
"Anything else?"
"Hmm..." Elder Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third elder suspects that there is an internal agent from the Tiangang Sword Sect in the sect!"
As soon as these words came out, Ying Jinhuan's expression couldn't help but change.
Elder Xiu nodded solemnly: "Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was not difficult to find out from the conversation with him that he was already suspicious of the senior officials around him."
"Is there a target of suspicion?"
"No!" Elder Xiu shook his head: "And I don't dare to make any assumptions."
Ying Jinhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said: "Indeed, you should have thought of this when the Nirvana Palace was attacked, and there was also the killer of the 'Shili Yanyu Tower'. So many people entered the sect without anyone noticing. It would be absolutely impossible if no one would clear the way for them!”
"Yes! So the current situation in Piaomiao Sect is much more serious than imagined, and there is no time to deal with the conflict between Juexian Palace and Nirvana Palace."
"Hasn't Hall Master Lin Tiantung been released from seclusion?" Ying Jinhuan asked.
"Palace Master Lin has negotiated with me this morning and he said he would coordinate."
As for Lin Tiantung, he has been in "reclusion" for this period of time.
No matter who it is, no one has any suspicion on him for the time being.
As everyone knows, "retreat" is just a cover. The real wolf is hidden in half darkness and half light.
"Elder Xiu, Deputy Hall Master...someone is looking for you..." At this time, Lou Qing hurried in.
"Who is it?" Elder Xiu asked.
"I!"
A loud and heroic voice came from outside.
The people who came were actually the true disciple Zuo Lie and his partner, Jiang Yao.
"Elder Xiu, Master Ying, I just heard a piece of news... about Xiao Nuo..." Zuo Lie strode into the meeting hall.
During this period, Zuo Lie was also searching everywhere for news and whereabouts of Xiao Nuo.
"I was originally supposed to convey this news to other senior officials, but I have some selfish feelings for Xiao Nuo, so I will tell you first..."
"Where is Xiao Nuo?" Ying Jinhuan asked quickly.
Zuo Lie shook his head: "I don't know where he is yet. The news is only related to him..."
Zuo Lie paused and then said, "Is Xiao Nuo's father named Xiao Feifan?"
Ying Jinhuan frowned: "How do you know?"
When Xiao Nuo supported the Gongsun family, Ying Jinhuan also went to Xiyue City together.
She also witnessed Xiao Nuo interrogating Xiao Xiong about the whereabouts of Xiao Feifan, but Xiao Xiong was tight-lipped at that time and would rather die than tell. In the end, he was beheaded by Xiao Nuo...
At that time, Xiao Nuo also confided his feelings to Ying Jinhuan. He even thought that the possibility of Xiao Feifan still being alive was not high.
Because Xiao Xiong had no reason to keep Xiao Fan.
Now, hearing the words "Xiao Feifan" from Zuo Lie's mouth, Ying Jinhuan was naturally surprised.
"I don't know where the news came from. It is said that Xiao Feifan is in the hands of Xiao Yuwei. The other party wants Xiao Nuo to show up at the Xiao family in Xiyue City within one day. Otherwise, she will execute Xiao Feifan..."
Zuo Lie said.
When she heard the name "Xiao Yuwei", Ying Jinhuan was even more startled.
She and Elder Xiu looked at each other and immediately asked, "Is this news reliable?"
"I don't know either!" Zuo Lie replied.
Ying Jinhuan said to the elder Xiu: "If this matter is true, will Xiao Nuo appear in Xiyue City in his current state?"
Regarding "Blood Cultivating One Sword Cut", Ying Jinhuan didn't know as much as Elder Xiu did.
Elder Xiu thought for a while and said: "People who are controlled by crazy demons and murderous thoughts can actually accept external information..."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!" Elder Xiu nodded: "When I was invaded by the 'Crazy Killing Thought', I also had a certain ability to perceive, but I just couldn't control myself, especially during the killing process, and I couldn't control my own behavior. In addition, , the 'Xiao Feifan' you are talking about is Xiao Nuo's father, so even in a 'crazy state', he can still have emotional changes towards Xiao Nuo."
Although Elder Xiu is not 100% sure that Xiao Nuo will appear, there is at least a certain probability.
"Without further delay, I will go to Xiyue City immediately!" Ying Jinhuan said.
"I'm with you!" Elder Xiu said.
Ying Jinhuan did not refuse. After all, no one knew what kind of situation Xiao Nuo was in.
With her strength, it is quite dangerous to face Xiao Nuo alone with the Sky Burial Sword.
…
Donghuang!
Ever since Xiao Nuo went to the Tiangang Sword Sect for the eighth time to worship the mountain and seize the sword, the territory of Donghuang felt like there was an undercurrent surging all the time.
The return of the Sky Burial Sword not only failed to bring stability to the Nirvana Palace, but instead made the conflict between the Piaomiao Sect and the Tiangang Sword Sect intensify every day.
Xiyue City!
Since the fighting between the five major families, Xiyue City has lost its former prosperity.
The Xiao family first wiped out the three major families.
And Xiao Nuo destroyed the Xiao family again.
The only Gongsun family had to leave their hometown and go to the Snow Realm Dynasty on the other side of Beichuan because they were worried about the revenge of the Tiangang Sword Sect.
Without the support of the five major families, a large number of aboriginal people in the city have also moved away one after another.
There are now less than a hundred households left in Xiyue City, and the once most prosperous streets are now sparsely populated and extremely desolate.
The Xiao family compound!
In less than a month, it went from its former glory to a dilapidated state.
There were still traces of dried blood in the cracks in the ground in the front yard.
In the central area of the Xiao family, there is a martial arts arena.
This martial arts arena was where the younger generation of the Xiao family used to practice martial arts every day, but it is now in a state of disrepair.
There is a wooden stake standing on the high stone platform in the middle of the martial arts field.
On top of the wooden pile, a person was tied up.
The man's hair was disheveled, his face was full of beard, and his clothes were ragged, as if they hadn't been trimmed in several years.
His limbs were shackled with shackles and bracelets, and his head was lowered, as if he was out of breath. His body was covered with scars from whips, and in some places the skin was torn and bloody.
Xiao Yuwei was wearing a black robe and standing next to her with a long whip in her hand. Her face was stern and her eyes were even colder.
"Father, elder brother, younger brother...I will definitely make that evil thief Xiao Nuo's life worse than death...Father, it's also thanks to you that you spared this old evil thief's life, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to deal with him..."
Not long ago, Xiao Yuwei left the Tiangang Sword Sect. With nowhere to go, she could only return to Xiyue City.
Relying on her familiarity with the family, Xiao Yuwei not only found the family treasure hidden by Xiao Xiong, but also discovered the secret of Xiao Feifan's survival.
Although Xiao Yuwei didn't understand why Xiao Xiong didn't kill Xiao Feifan, she found an opportunity to take revenge on Xiao Nuo.
Originally, Xiao Yuwei wanted to follow Xiao Nuo's example and send Xiao Feifan's head directly to the Piaomiao Sect, but when she thought of the massacred family members and the loss of face she had suffered from the Sword Sect at that time, Xiao Yuwei felt that it was too cheap for Xiao Nuo.
Just killing Xiao Feifan is not enough.
Therefore, Xiao Yuwei wanted to use the power of "Shili Yanyu Tower".
But who would have thought that all the Xiao family's property and all the valuable treasures on Xiao Yuwei's body could not buy Xiao Nuo's life.
But there is no end to the road. Xiao Nuo was eroded by the "Crazy Killing Thoughts" and the "Power of Blood Curse" because of his practice of "Blood Cultivation One Sword Cut". Xiao Yuwei thought of a plan to completely crush the opponent.
"Hmph, I want to completely defeat his mental will, I want to drive him into madness. Anyway, I have nothing left. Even if I die, I will tell you... life is worse than death!"
The evil plan slowly unfolded in Xiao Yuwei's heart. What she has to do now is wait for Xiao Nuo to show up.
There were dozens of masked killers surrounding the square.
These killers were the helpers Xiao Yuwei had spent all her wealth and resources on.
Although Xiao Yuwei didn't know what method Haisheng Mingyue used to get these killers to come to carry out such a dangerous mission, Shili Yanyu Tower is almost an omnipotent mysterious organization. As long as someone pays, someone will sacrifice their life...
Shili Yanyu Tower not only cultivated many assassins with powerful assassination capabilities, but also many loyal and loyal soldiers.
Most of the people around Xiao Yuwei were dead soldiers of Shili Yanyu Tower.
It's getting dark!
Before I knew it, it was already evening.
Xiao Yuwei's patience was about to run out, and she looked coldly at Xiao Feifan, who was tied to the stake.
"If he doesn't come before dark, I will chop you into pieces and send you to the Piaomiao Sect... Today, one of you, father and son, will definitely die!"
Just as Xiao Yuwei finished speaking, suddenly...
"Wow!"
A burst of cold and solemn air flowed into the Xiao family's martial arts arena. Instantly, Xiao Yuwei and the many killers in the square were all frightened. They saw the fog-colored frost wind stirring up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, followed by a murderous figure. , slowly...step into...
