"Crazy, crazy, these people are crazy to kill!"
The servants outside ran back in a panic, shouting incomprehensibly.
Tang Song stood in front of the hall with a sword in hand, with a righteous look on his face, "You all go and hide in the painting. If these thieves dare to rush in, I will use my Shushan skills to defeat them!"
"Dad, if you're afraid, stop pretending." Tang Yu'an said, "Your legs are shaking."
Painter Tang Song once practiced magical powers for a few days with a master, and he had a second-level cultivation level. The master was from Shushan, so Tang Song had always had feelings for the Shushan sect, and he had donated a lot of family wealth over the years.
The last time his son Tang Yuan was captured by a female ghost in the famous painting "Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs" of the previous dynasty, Tang Song also asked Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai from Shushan to deal with it.
The painting stayed at their home afterwards, and Tang Song could try to open it even with a low level of cultivation. Because time flows slowly in the secret realm in the painting, it is convenient to store some ingredients such as vegetables and fruits, so you can hang it in the cellar at home.
Nowadays, there are endless shouts of killing and screams outside. Just now, the shouts seemed to be that rebels were rushing into Wu'an City to burn, kill and loot. There were also officers and soldiers announcing along the street that people were prohibited from taking to the streets to avoid accidental injuries. The guards in the city and the practitioners from the City Supervision Department have already taken action, and the city defense formation has also been activated. Unfortunately, the thugs are so powerful that no resistance from the officers and soldiers has been heard for a while.
Tang Song is thin and thin, but he is a literati painter. Even the city supervisor can't stop him. What can he do with his little cultivation?
At this moment, his face was strained, but his legs couldn't stop shaking. Hearing his son's revelation, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have collected so many antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It would be okay if they were robbed, but what if they were destroyed by those thieves?"
"What's more important, painting or life!" Tang Yu'an said anxiously.
"That's it. The thief is still far away. I'll take care of him and hide with you later." Karamatsu finally decided.
At this time, everyone in the family hurried to the backyard study. Tang Song opened the secret realm of the painting of ladies in the eastern suburbs and let them all hide. A group of hurried figures suddenly appeared on the painting.
Karamatsu himself hid the picture of the lady in the eastern suburbs first, and then carefully put away all the antique calligraphy and paintings. Before he could finish packing, he suddenly heard a bang outside.
No way?
Karamatsu's heart skipped a beat.
The murderer came from the south. His family lives in the north of the city. He shouldn't have come so quickly, right? Could it be that he came here specially to rob his own house first?
He cautiously stuck his head out and took a look, only to find that the courtyard was empty.
Scare yourself...
Karamatsu breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he turned around to continue cleaning up, he suddenly let out an "Ah" scream.
It turned out to be a skinny-looking young man wearing new clothes that didn't quite fit him. He had an unruly smile on his face and was sitting on a chair in the study.
"伱..." Karamatsu asked in a trembling voice, "Who is he?"
"Me?" The young man squinted and looked at him, "You don't need to care who I am. Time is tight and I don't want to waste it. I only care if you want something. Give it to me and I will leave. I will never hurt you or your family. Not even a cent.”
"What do you want?" Karamatsu asked quickly.
"Do you have a painting from the previous dynasty at home?" The young man asked, "What is it called... Picture of Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs?"
"Ah?" Tang Song burst into tears upon hearing this.
How can you do no harm? You are trying to kill my whole family!
…
"Young hero, I will give you all my belongings. Can you let me go?" Nangong Zhi said.
He was tied into a strange shape by Chu Liang with a demon-binding rope. In full view of everyone, he felt a little ashamed.
Chu Liang, Ling Ao and Lin Bei rescued the girls in the black car one by one. They all had cowering expressions and fearful eyes. They seemed to have been frightened a lot.
"I only want half." Chu Liang replied casually.
"Ah?" Nangong Zhi's eyes lit up, there is such a good person?
"You can give me all your belongings, but I can't let you go." Chu Liang said without mercy.
Okay.
It turned out to be only half of this sentence.
After all, Nangong Zhi is also the master of a sect. He is a figure who is supported by everyone and enjoys all the honors in Yudu City. Who would have thought that his car overturned in his hometown and he met with the execution of justice.
"Eh?" He looked at Chu Liang and suddenly said: "Young hero, I seem to have seen you somewhere?"
"Don't use this set." Lin Bei said from the side: "At this time, the set is almost useless."
"No..." Nangong Zhidao: "I have really seen it. Did you participate in the Immortal Sect Conference six years ago? Chu Liang of Shu Mountain! I saw your Battle of the Imperial City at that time. At that time, I I support the Shushan team very much! I heard that you disappeared in the palace and came back..."
Lin Bei asked again: "You support the Shushan team so much? Do you know who is in it?"
"Of course I know!" Nangong Zhi said: "Jiang Yuebai, Xu Ziyang and Chu Shaoxia, the stars of that generation in Shushan are so dazzling!"
Ling Ao in front of him stiffened.
After a pause, he pretended to lift his bangs casually, exposing his entire face, and looked around.
"Young hero, please give way." Nangong Zhi said, "Let me have a good chat with Young Hero Chu."
"The people from the Supervisor's Office will be here soon. You can have a good chat with them." Chu Liang gave a cold look in return. After getting all the girls out of the car, he asked, "Are they all here?"
"Yes." Nangong Zhi nodded.
At this time, a girl next to him suddenly said timidly: "No."
"Huh?" Chu Liang looked over.
Just listen to the girl say: "My sister and several others were taken away by them..."
Chu Liang glanced at Nangong Zhi and then said, "I'll check other places."
"Young Master Chu!" Nangong Zhi was a little anxious, but after being seriously injured, he was completely unable to break free from the demon-binding rope that Wen Yulong had strengthened, and the toxins had spread throughout his body. When he got excited, he threw himself to the ground.
When Chu Liang walked out of this courtyard, his spiritual consciousness immediately filled Nangong Mansion. Although I didn't find any other scent, I sensed a place in the back garden that was different from the other places.
The rest of the place is full of vegetation, but the soil here is devoid of any life. Maybe this is just a subtle difference, but he captured it keenly.
Chu Liang stepped on the ground with his foot, then exerted force, and boom——
With one kick, the ground instantly cracked!
There was a rumble, and a huge hole opened below. There is a basement here that can isolate the breath, so I can't feel it. It's just because the soil has been disturbed that the vegetation above is cut off.
And in this basement, there was a shocking scene.
Several women were hung on iron pillars, covered with bruises and dying, and there were several other people locked in cages on the side. The first reaction when seeing Chu Liang was panic.
The blood on the ground and the resentment in the air all showed what kind of place it was.
It's impossible for everyone to be willing to make a furnace for him to practice. This is obviously the place where Nangong Zhi executes women who are unwilling to obey.
With such a strong blood spirit, I don’t know how many people have died tragically here.
Chu Liang's expression turned cold and hard.
He first rescued these women, and then flew back to the courtyard.
At this time, a large group of people from the Supervisory State Mansion had arrived. They came to Jiuguan City after receiving the news from Shushan, and found that there was nothing unusual here yet. The only one with a record of illegal entry into the city is this Nangong Mansion.
As soon as they arrived here, they saw the Shushan disciples and Nangong Zhi.
The leader of the Jianguo Mansion is tall and generous, with a handsome face and bright eyes, with large dark purple pupils. He is none other than Tianguan Ji Zidian.
At this moment, Nangong Zhi has been captured by the people of the Supervisory Government and is being held in the battle array. Lin Bei was telling him about the situation just now, when suddenly seeing Chu Liang appear, Ji Zidian suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Chu Liang!"
"Ji Tianguan." Chu Liang saluted briefly.
"Where have you been all these years?" Ji Zidian also asked: "We are easy to find."
"We'll talk about other things later..." Chu Liang shook his head: "I don't think it's safe for you to take him away."
"Don't you trust us to escort you?" Ji Zidian wondered.
"I just found some new evidence in the basement. He deserves death." Chu Liang walked over and asked, "If you take him back, can you guarantee that he will be executed?"
"This..." Ji Zidian frowned and pondered.
Nangong Zhi is a subordinate of Prime Minister Su Qian, and is the leader of one of the eight sects and eight sects, and he has made great contributions to the Prime Minister. Even if he commits a capital crime, as long as he is not rebelling, it is possible for the prime minister to save him. He may only be severely punished in the end, but his life will not be lost.
The prime minister must do the same, so that the rest of the people who follow him will work harder. The Eight Sects and Eight Sects would have helped him deal with many shady things. If he gave up as soon as something happened, no one would be willing to do things for him.
"So..." As he spoke, Chu Liang had already walked in front of Nangong Zhi.
In the face of the other party's frightened face, he suddenly swung a punch.
"Chu Liang?" Ji Zidian shouted immediately when she realized what he was going to do.
With his cultivation, if he took action, he would naturally have time to stop him, but at that moment, he did not choose to do so.
Bang——
With one punch, the purple-gold divine thunder struck Nangong Zhi's head like a divine punishment. In just an instant, his head seemed to be swallowed by some black hole and disappeared above his torso. Clean and tidy, leaving no trace.
In the blink of an eye, only a corpse was left standing alone, looking confused.
Chu Liang then waved his hand calmly, turned around and said, "This is safer."
