The rain is getting heavier.
It was as if someone had opened a hole in the sky.
Like the Milky Way flowing backward.
Several figures were running wildly on the deserted streets.
It was Chu Qingxiao and others.
"Which courtyard do they live in on Baiye Street?" Chu Qingxiao stopped at the entrance of Baiye Street. His whole body was already soaked, but he had no time to worry about it. He just turned his head and looked at Chu Zhaozhao behind him and asked loudly.
Chu Zhaozhao also frowned. She only knew that the Zhang family placed those children in a certain courtyard on Baiye Street, but she couldn't remember exactly where.
"If you don't remember, ask someone!" Seeing this, Ziyu said loudly, and immediately kicked open the courtyard door.
Everyone was still stunned when they saw Ziyu walking in directly.
There was a burst of men's roars, women's screams, and children's cries.
But within a moment, all these voices died down, and then Ziyu was seen striding out. In the end, she did not forget to say to the yard behind her: "I'm sorry, it's an emergency, and people's lives are at stake. You can go to this door tomorrow. Chu Mansion, let’s just say it’s Chu Zhaozhao’s wish, and someone will compensate you ten times the price.”
Ziyu did act a little too vigorously and resolutely. After she walked out of the door, she glanced at the people in a daze and said, "Why are you staring at me? It's the seventh room from the inside to the right!"
Everyone came to their senses, and even Chu Zhaozhao, who had never dealt with her before, had no intention of finding fault with her bad behavior that had just shown generosity to others.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and walked quickly towards the depths of the street.
…
"Master Zhang?" Zhang Xingzong looked at the figure standing under the rain curtain in disbelief and asked uncertainly.
He said this and stepped forward, moving closer to the other party step by step.
Zhang Quan's condition was very strange. His body was trembling and he kept mumbling to himself.
He said in a trembling voice: "No... no... you can't kill them."
The next moment, the voice coming out of his mouth became deeper: "But if I don't kill them, I won't be strong enough and I won't be able to take revenge. Don't you want to kill that girl?"
The trembling voice continued: "I want to kill her! But too many people have died..."
The low voice also continued to confuse: "Yes, so many people have died. If we stop now and cannot avenge ourselves, wouldn't those people's deaths be in vain?"
When these words came out, Zhang Quan's body trembled.
As if he had been stabbed in a painful spot, the expression in his eyes became hollow at that moment: "Yes..."
"If we stop at this time, wouldn't my father, my mother, and so many other clan members die in vain?"
He murmured to himself like this, as if he had been moved by his words, his voice gradually became deeper, and gradually became the same pitch as the bewitching voice.
At that moment, his eyes were blood red, and he raised his head and looked forward. In the broken door, a woman was holding a group of children and shivering.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about?" Zhang Xingzong felt vaguely strange when he heard what the other party said.
He reached out to grab the other person's shoulder and asked with concern: "Where have you been these days? Do you know that at home..."
"Be careful!" Just when his hand was about to touch Zhang Quan's shoulder, Sanniang in the room shouted to him loudly.
Zhang Xingzong's heart trembled when he heard this, and the next moment, a huge force blasted into his abdomen. His body suddenly flew out like an arrow from the string, hit the stone wall beside him, and then drooped his head. He collapsed without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
But Zhang Quan didn't even look at the man who had been running around for the Zhang family for more than ten days. He turned around and walked slowly towards the small house.
He was still mumbling: "We can't let them die in vain... we can't let them die in vain..."
then.
The rain is getting heavier.
The bright red blood mixed with the rainwater spread and smudged on the ground...
Finally soaking the earth.
…
Chu Qingxiao used all his strength.
He ran hard and finally arrived in front of the house.
The courtyard door was wide open, and there was a faint smell of blood.
His heart sank to the bottom at that time.
Chu Zhaozhao and others also felt at this time that everyone had realized this, and the expressions on their faces were ugly.
Chu Qingxiao didn't dare to stay and rushed into the courtyard at that time.
Roar!
Just as he walked in, he heard a low roar coming from the front.
I saw Zhang Quan's pair of bone wings spread out, his figure suspended in mid-air, two silver chains binding his feet, and at the other end of the chains, Xia Jingru and Gu Yuanhuai were holding them tightly. , it seems that there has been a stalemate with Zhang Quan for some time.
Chu Qingxiao's arrival was obviously beyond their expectations. They turned their heads to look at Chu Qingxiao. A trace of surprise flashed between their eyebrows at that moment, but the next moment they had to focus on Zhang Quan. .
Chu Qingxiao's face was gloomy. He did not help Gu Huaiyuan and the other two, but after a quick glance, he landed on the half-collapsed wooden house not far away.
That's where the smell of blood comes from.
Chu Qingxiao hurried forward, ignoring the two sides who were fighting, and stepped forward.
He came to the collapsed door, stretched out his hand to pick up the broken walls from the ground, and then threw them aside.
It can be seen that his movements are urgent, almost violent.
Chu Zhaozhao and others rushed over, and they probably felt that Chu Qingxiao was on the verge of going berserk. They did not dare to say anything, lowered their bodies, and helped Chu Qingxiao clean up the ruins on the ground.
The collapse of the house was not serious, only a small part of the doorway.
Except for Meng Ziliang, all of them had some cultivation skills. With their help, some debris was quickly cleared away.
At this time, the situation in the house came into view.
At that moment, everyone's bodies trembled.
Inside the door, Sanniang and several children were lying motionless on the ground. Their bodies were already covered in blood, and it was a shocking red color.
Sanniang was still holding a girl tightly in her arms, and there was a huge wooden beam pressing on her body.
Chu Qingxiao stepped forward, stretched out his hand to move the wooden beam from Sanniang's body, and looked at the woman calmly.
Both Sanniang and the girl in her arms have lost their breath. The only difference is that there is a huge wound on the little girl's neck that is oozing blood, but there is no obvious wound on Sanniang's body...
"How...how could..." Chu Zhaozhao's face turned pale.
The Meng Ziliang siblings also trembled, and even the usually carefree Ziyu frowned.
Chu Qingxiao turned his head at this moment and looked at Xia Jingru and Gu Yuanhuai who were fighting with Zhang Quan.
His eyes were completely red, and there seemed to be flames rising deep in his pupils.
…
The battle between the two golden guards, Zhang Quan and Jian Tiansi, is almost coming to an end.

However, Gu Huaiyuan and the other two were already prepared for this trip. They wrapped the chains in their hands around the sword body, and then surged with spiritual power, blasting the sword into the ground and nailing it to the ground.
At the other end of the chain, Zhang Quan's feet were tied, making it difficult for Zhang Quan, who was trying to flutter his wings to escape, to leave.
"asshole!"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Zhang Quan's eyes had turned completely white at this moment, and he cursed angrily at Gu Huaiyuan.
He was filled with murderous intent that was so strong that it seemed as if it had substance. The anger in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yuanhuai and the two was several times more intense than when he faced Chu Qingxiao that day!
But Gu Yuanhuai and the other two ignored Zhang Quan's roar at all. After nailing the long sword into the ground, they suddenly jumped up along the straight chain. Two short knives emerged from the cuffs. They jumped up. In mid-air, he arrived in front of Zhang Quan and swung out the dagger in his hand.
The two daggers in Gu Yuanhuai's hands stabbed Zhang Quan's eyes fiercely, while Xia Jingru came behind Zhang Quan and thrust the two daggers into Zhang Quan's ears.
The huge pain caused Zhang Quan to let out a heart-rending wail.
His body was also struggling fiercely at this time, but Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai had obviously cooperated in this way many times. They had a tacit understanding with each other and would not give him any chance to breathe.
The daggers in their hands scratched Zhang Quan's body again and again, and Zhang Quan, whose feet were bound and his eyes were blind, could only rely on intuition to vibrate the wings behind him and keep waving them.
I don't know if it was due to his ferocious nature being aroused, but he seemed to have no intention of escaping. Even though he had fallen into this situation, he was still trying to attack Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai with his wings.
But this approach had little effect. Soon he showed signs of fatigue, the wings on his back flapped slowly, and his body's struggle gradually became weak.
Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai looked at each other at this moment and nodded towards each other. Their figures staggered again in mid-air and came to the front and back of Zhang Quan's body respectively.
Their brows suddenly became stern, and they stretched out a hand. The long sword inserted into the ground seemed to be inspired. The sword trembled and suddenly escaped into the hands of the two.
The two held long swords in their hands, and all their spiritual energy was poured into the sword at this moment.
break!
Accompanied by a soft drink from them.
The long sword was taken out, and the sword intent surged.
The rain curtain was cut open by the sword's will, and the night was illuminated by the cold light from the sword.
And Zhang Quan's body was smashed into pieces by his heart-rending wails, and turned into pieces of meat, which fell into the small courtyard together with the heavy rain.
The two sheathed their swords at this moment.
The body stood in the air, not in a hurry to fall back to the ground, but instead stared at the snow mist after Zhang Quan's body exploded.
There seemed to be a figure twisting and struggling in the snow mist, but this struggle only lasted for a few breaths, and gradually subsided as if it had been exhausted.
Then the figure began to shrink and collapse, and finally gathered at a point and turned into something the size of a grain of rice.
The object was shimmering with a bright golden light. Although it was not big, the golden light that spilled out was very dazzling, illuminating the small courtyard on this rainy night.
When Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai saw this thing, their faces suddenly became happy. Gu Yuanhuai stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the thing in his hand.
The moment they got this thing, the two of them fell to the ground, and the joy between their eyebrows became even more intense. But before they could say anything, the sound of footsteps came at this moment.
The two looked sideways.
Chu Qingxiao and others were seen walking towards them. Among them, Chu Qingxiao was holding Sanniang's already cold body in his arms.
Gu Yuanhuai was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face faded away. He put the golden rice grains in his hands into his arms without any trace, then looked at Chu Qingxiao and said with a look of regret on his face: "It's because we were late. One step, if it had been earlier, Miss Sanniang might not have ended up like this..."
However, his words of self-blame did not get the response he deserved from Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao just gently put the person in his arms under the eaves of the side. He squatted down and cleaned the water stains on Sanniang's face. He lowered his head and looked at the other person's lifeless face.
He turned his back to Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai, and said calmly: "How can you two be late? Didn't you arrive just in time?"
"Huh?" Xia Jingru vaguely heard something behind Chu Qingxiao's words. She frowned and looked at Chu Qingxiao with a somewhat displeased look.
"It just happened that Zhang Quan killed his close relative, and it just happened that the demon had finished coming. It just happened that he had not yet had time to fully use his power."
Chu Qingxiao's voice was very soft and surprisingly calm, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
As he said this, he slowly stood up and his eyes finally fell on Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru for the first time.
"At this time, you two arrived here in no time, and then like divine soldiers descending from the sky, you killed the demon and saved Wancheng."
"What a great story..." Chu Qingxiao said this, but paused slightly before speaking again.
"Of course, that mature marrow is irrelevant in this story. It is just the reward that the hero who saved Wancheng deserves, isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gu Yuanhuai and Gu Yuanhuai suddenly changed, and they looked at Chu Qingxiao with shock and anger.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xia Jingru asked in a cold voice.
"What do I want to say?" Chu Qingxiao suddenly laughed when he heard this.
He took a step forward, and the smile on his face faded in an instant.
His eyes were completely red, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and the Linyuan Sword was unsheathed and held in his hand.
"I want to ask you two!"
"Are you really willing to go to any lengths for a piece of divine marrow?"
"In your eyes, the lives of Sanniang and these children are not lives!?"
Chu Qingxiao roared in an almost roaring tone. At this moment, the sound of the heavy rain covered the sky and resounded throughout the world.
When these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao and others frowned. Of course, they had already heard Chu Qingxiao's speculation on the way here, and they also wanted to save Sanniang and the children.
But now the deal is done, no matter how sad or angry I feel in my heart.
Nothing can change the established facts.
It would not be a wise choice to have another dispute with the two Jian Tiansi officials in front of them.
Gu Yuanhuai probably didn't expect that someone would dare to question him in such a tone. He was also stunned for a moment, but the next moment, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a ferocious smile appeared on his cold face.
He whispered: "You are right."
"Their lives don't count."
boom!
A muffled thunder streaked across the sky at this moment.
Beneath the tears, Gu Yuanhuai's face was flickering and so sinister that one could not tell for a moment whether the person standing in front of them was a human or a ghost crawling out of hell.
"In fact, you have to thank Tianxuan Mountain."
"If I hadn't cared about your status, the people who died would have
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's you. "
"After all, under normal circumstances, we don't want to cause such trouble. In order to take care of your face, we worked hard to put on a play. Shouldn't you be grateful for this painstaking effort?" Gu Yuanhuai didn't seem to have any intention. If he keeps pretending, he speaks very frankly.
"But a few children died and a prostitute escaped from Goulan. What's the big deal?"
"I have told you before that the price of everyone's life is different."
"Their lives are less valuable than yours, so they have to die for you. When the day comes when your lives and those whose lives are more precious have to be chosen one or the other, it will be you who deserve to die."
This sentence undoubtedly stung Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao shouted loudly at that time, and finally could no longer suppress his anger. He dodged and stabbed out the Linyuan Sword in his hand, approaching Gu Yuanhuai's face.
Gu Yuanhuai's brows raised at that time, as if he had already anticipated Chu Qingxiao's actions. There was no trace of panic on his face. Even his body standing in the rain was motionless, showing no intention of hiding.
And just when Linyuan Sword was about to touch the opponent's face, a long sword shot out from one side and stopped in front of Linyuan Sword.
It was Xia Jingru who took action at this time.
Her sword body trembled, and huge force slanted out from the sword body, repelling Chu Qingxiao's sword edge and Chu Qingxiao's body together.
Chu Qingxiao's body took several steps back at this moment, but in the end he was still unable to remove the force from the sword. With a thump, he fell awkwardly into the rainy night.
His face turned pale at that moment, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Xia Jingru's cultivation level in the fifth realm was much stronger than Chu Qingxiao's, but that seemingly careless sword contained a domineering hidden power, which was transmitted into Chu Qingxiao's body along with the sword blade, causing damage to Chu Qingxiao's inner palace.
Although it was not life-threatening, it was enough to damage Chu Qingxiao's combat power in a short period of time.
This was the warning she gave.
Xia Jingru's face was stern, and she sheathed her sword.
"I need to remind you that attacking and killing imperial officials will implicate the nine tribes." Xia Jingru said coldly.
"But you are Tianxuan Mountain's disciple after all. We will not be the same as you, but our patience is limited. If we try to hinder Jian Tiansi from handling the case again, even if we kill you, Tianxuan Mountain will not dare to do anything."
Meng Ziliang couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and asked loudly, "You clearly let Zhang Quan run away on purpose and allowed him to kill the orphan of the Zhang family!"
"Aren't you afraid that if the case is handled like this, the news will spread and someone will punish you?"
Hearing this, Xia Jingru looked at Meng Ziliang with interest and said, "Spread it out? Who spread it out, you? Do you want your family, which has finally established a foothold in Muzhou, to be exiled to another place again?" ?”
"Or you?" She turned to look at Chu Zhaozhao again: "Your clan are all ordinary people, no different from these children in front of you. No matter how many people die, no one will care. Do you want them to do it for yours?" Do you understand that justice will pay for it?"
Xia Jingru said these words in a relaxed tone with a touch of teasing. The almost righteous and condescending tone made everyone feel full of anger.
But no one dared to refute it.
"Remember, in this world of Yu, apart from the Holy One above your head, the biggest one is Supervisor Tiansi!"
"Today you helped me and the two of you kill the devil, and we will make it known to you. Whether it is your sect or the prefecture and pastorate above you, you will be rewarded."
"This is all good for us."
"Be a smart person and don't let this good thing become your funeral!"
After Xia Jingru said that, her eyes glanced at Chu Qingxiao who was lying on the ground. Even if she turned around, she stopped looking at the crowd and took steps towards the door of the courtyard with Gu Yuanhuai.
…
The rain was still falling, and Chu Qingxiao stood up with the help of Chu Zhaozhao.
"Are you okay?" Chu Zhaozhao asked with concern.
Chu Qingxiao turned his head to look at her and shook his head with a gloomy expression.
His fists were clenched, and the rain kept flowing down his cheeks. Chu Zhaozhao could tell that he was not in a good mood, and did not ask any further questions.
In fact, everyone felt a little lonely at this moment, standing silently in the rain with their heads lowered.
"Ahem."
At this moment, a slight cough suddenly sounded in the rainy night.
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
I saw a man holding his chest and staggering towards here with difficulty.
It's Zhang Xingzong!
Everyone was stunned after seeing the other party's appearance clearly.
Zhang Xingzong also walked up to the crowd at this time. He raised his head and looked at the figures lying quietly in the room. His body trembled and he walked up quickly.
His face was pale, and his upper and lower lips were trembling. Looking at the children who had fallen on the ground, he could no longer contain the sadness in his heart, and fell to his knees with a plop.
He did not give up. He crawled on the ground, shaking the children's bodies one by one, trying to wake them up, but the cold bodies could not respond to him in the slightest.
This nearly forty-year-old man finally collapsed completely at this moment. He collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself: "Why..."
"Why has he obviously given up..."
"Obviously they can survive, why kill them? They are still just children..."
Chu Qingxiao on the side suddenly trembled when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the man lying on the ground in disbelief, and asked quietly: "What did you say?"
At that time, Zhang Xingzong looked at Chu Qingxiao and said with a sad face: "Miss Sanniang has obviously persuaded the young master to turn around, but the two people refused to give up and forced the young master to take action. Seeing that the young master refused, They just took it upon themselves to kill..."
At this point, Zhang Xingzong burst into tears, but Chu Qingxiao's expression suddenly changed. He finally understood why Zhang Quan had clearly fallen into danger, but still had no intention of escaping...
"Did they do it?" Chu Zhaozhao on the side also came to realize it. She looked at Zhang Xingzong and asked in disbelief.
Zhang Xingzong was about to nod at that time...
puff!
But at this moment, a ray of cold light suddenly cut through the night, flew from the door of the small courtyard, passed through everyone's eyes, and pierced Zhang Xingzong's chest, piercing it.
The man's words stopped abruptly when he reached his lips. The anger and sadness in his eyes dimmed at that moment, and he fell to the ground with a crash, splashing water all over the ground and spreading to everyone...
At this moment, Gu Yuanhuai walked slowly from the entrance of the courtyard. He pulled out the sword that had been inserted into Zhang Xingzong's chest, reached out and brushed off the blood on it, and said something remorseful in his mouth.
"I didn't expect that he was not dead yet. Fortunately, he hasn't gone far yet. If he had survived, he would have been punished by the prison again..."
