After getting the money, Xiao Jinyan slapped his head and said, "I suddenly remember that I don't seem to have anything to do with Dengwenyuan now."

In Yinyang, for the sake of Yuwen Shuang's affairs, Xiao Jinyan was unwilling to drag down his senior brother, and drew a clear line with Dengwen Academy in front of his fellow gangsters. However, Dengwen Academy remained silent about this statement. Moreover, Dengwen Academy is now deliberately neglected by His Majesty. With his current power, he cannot be compared with when he was confronted with Yixiaotang.

Li Qingcheng looked contemptuous, "Today, I was besieged by the elders in the meeting hall. I deeply reflected on the mistakes I made. The most serious thing is to make careless friends."

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "This is so hurtful. But I will still help you investigate this matter. Are you moved?"

"so good?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "For you, thousands of times."

...

The fish that escaped from the Lingnan Sword Sect disappeared, and the only clue was Hongxingtang. If you could follow the clues and find the employer of Hongxingtang, you might have a chance to turn the tables.

Zhang Touer, the wooden killer, has been waiting in the Drum Tower for three days.

Xiao Jinyan, Master of Compassion and Yue Laoqi, went away. He was a little anxious and had also gone to Shanhefang to find out the news. After hearing about Li Qingcheng being assassinated, he realized that the person who was going to kill in Hongxingtang was actually the third young master of the Li family. He was so scared that he wanted to leave. However, Hongxing was a decisive rule. As a killer, even if he escaped, he would be chased by the superiors.

Xiao Jinyan found him in the Drum Tower. When Zhang Touer first met, he was a little shocked, "You are not dead?"

Xiao Jinyan whispered, "Follow me."

Zhang Touer didn't understand why, so he followed him to a secluded place and said with a smile, "I had the chance to kill Li Qingcheng, but Li Qingcheng gave me a thousand taels and asked me to buy your life."

Zhang Touer said, "As a killer, how can he be so slaughtered in two ways?"

"Li Qingcheng gave cash, you wrote a blank check, and I also wanted to make a living, so I would be wronged. However, Mr. Li said that as long as you tell the employer behind him, he can spare your life." He pretended to look around and whispered, "Now there are sword servants of the Li family around me, I don't want to die here."

Zhang Touer said, "Do you know that the rules of the church are strict. The killer who takes on the mission will either complete the mission or die?"

"This is easy to deal with. As long as you identify the person behind the scenes, the third young master of the Li family will send someone to protect you and even help you change your identity."

Zhang Touer hesitated a little. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, "I took this task from a bronze medal killer at a price of one thousand taels. I got five hundred taels first. After I succeeded, I went to Yiwen Restaurant next to Mochou Lake to settle the remaining five hundred taels."

The two went to Mochou Lake and found the Yiwen Restaurant that Zhang Touer mentioned. The restaurant was not big, with only a few tables, and there was no one inside. Zhang Touer stepped forward and knocked on the door. No one responded. As soon as he pushed open the door, an arrow shot from the darkness. Xiao Jinyan said, "Be careful!"

Zhang Touer couldn't react and fell to the ground in response.

A black shadow flashed past the back building of the restaurant, and Xiao Jinyan chased after him. The black shadow was very skillful and always kept within thirty feet of Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan used all his strength and could not get closer.

After chasing for more than ten miles in one breath, the black shadow suddenly stopped. Only then did Xiao Jinyan see clearly that the man was wearing black and masked, holding a long sword in his hand, with a black body and a white hilt.

Xiao Jinyan was shocked, "Publicity from the Li family?"

The man in black laughed and said, "I know this sword, but I have a good vision."

The three major worshipers of the Li family in Jinling are responsible for protecting the ancestral hall. In the Li family, they are master-level figures. In addition to Li Xiaohua, they are the three most powerful worshipers. Xiao Jinyan understood that this person deliberately reserved something just now, just to attract him to catch up. Now in a place where no one can kill him to silence him.

"Su Wen's Li family takes protecting the family as their mission, but you are asking someone to assassinate Li Qingcheng. What benefits did Li Xiaoshu give you to make you violate your oath?"

The man in black said, "Li Xiaoshu? He is not worthy yet!"

"Who directed you?"

"You may know when you see the King of Hell." After that, he pulled out the long sword and saw that the white sword hilt instantly turned black, and a sword energy enveloped Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan knew that this battle was inevitable, so he calmed down and used the string power to attract the true energy, gathered one foot in front of him to resist the sword energy.

When the sword energy was intersected, Xiao Jinyan was shocked. This person's combat power was not inferior to Sun Qiangu. The man in black also felt strange, "At a young age, he had such cultivation, but unfortunately he made friends."

Before he finished speaking, the long sword stabbed out and came to Xiao Jinyan's eyebrows. Before he could contact him, Xiao Jinyan felt an astonishing qi force coming.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were quick and quick, but he did not retreat but advanced, and did not avoid it. The Wushuang divine fist faced the chest of the man in black. When he was three feet away, he would vomit all his internal strength and die with the man in black.

The long sword is neither fast nor slow.

Both fists do not withdraw their moves.

This is a big bet. His cultivation level is not as good as that of the Li family, but if this punch hits his chest, even if he doesn't die, the other party will be seriously injured. He bet that the other party will not lose his cultivation level in order to kill him.

As expected, about one foot away from the eyebrows, the Li family worshipper withdrew his moves, turned his long sword into the fight wrist, and cut Xiao Jinyan's hands obliquely. Xiao Jinyan took Wuwang step to the side and walked closely with the Li family worshipper. Wushuang divine fist made a short move. Once he approached, more than ten moves were continuous, one punch and one punch. Each move was a desperate posture, which made the Li family worshipper, who had the advantage of the original realm, unable to withdraw his sword and fell into a passive position.

The Li family worshipped in the world is not famous, but they are extremely energetic. Even when they see the heads of major sects, they are still proud of their own strength. Unexpectedly, they will not get any advantage from a junior. They are angry and release the law space. The whole person instantly moves beyond Xiao Jinyan's fist wind. Before Xiao Jinyan can react, he adjusts the sword force, grabs Xiao Jinyan's gap, exerts all his internal strength, and stabs out with a sword.

boom!

Xiao Jinyan did not dare to take it forward, and the two fists crossed and retreated more than ten steps backward before barely standing.

The Li family worshiper did not pursue him, and stood with a sword, saying lightly, "The next move is called the Sanqian Xiangjian, second only to the three ultimate moves of the Li family in Jinling. If you can catch it, I will spare you death."

Xiao Jinyan was suppressed in his realm. If it were usual, he would have escaped, but this man's sword move seemed to have not been released. As long as he moved, he would inevitably be attacked in all directions. He had once faced with Li Qingcheng, and even in the six realms of reincarnation, he did not give him this feeling.

Xiao Jinyan knew that if he was in trouble at this time, he would definitely die here today.

His mind was as quiet as water, and his sea of ​​consciousness became clear and clear. He removed his true energy and protected his whole body with only two string forces. The Li family worship did not set up a sword, but Xiao Jinyan's feeling was that all the swords were fired together. The longer the time, the stronger the oppression.

Xiao Jinyan said: "If I surrender, can I spare my life?"

The worshiper was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would say such words. He was stunned. Xiao Jinyan seized the opportunity, resisted the pressure, and punched suddenly.

The more you move forward, the greater the resistance.

The worshipper of the Li family did not expect him to be like this and said, "The courage is commendable."

The sword crossed and slashed down with a thunderous force. At this moment, an invisible true energy broke through the air and arrived.

It was Xiao Jinyan's previous true energy that had been removed, and with the help of two peaks as strings, gathered energy into arrows, and sneaked into the back of the Li family worshipper.

Xiao Jinyan once used the move of Prince Arrow to win, but it was tried and done many times, so he was ready to use the same trick again.

The Li family worshiper didn't know how to head, so he blocked the scabbard with his backhand. With the help of the power of the qi arrow, he jumped up in the air and swung out a sword.

The whole space seemed to be burning.

Xiao Jinyan only felt that there were countless sword shadows all over his body, and each sword shadow seemed real or false, and could not tell whether it was true or false. He ignored it and swung four punches one after another.

Four roars shocked Xiao Jinyan so much that he vomited blood.

Seeing more sword shadows attacking him, Xiao Jinyan was secretly shocked, "My life is over!"

Just then, he heard a crane sound.

A figure in white flashed over Xiao Jinyan and stabbed a sword at the Li family worshipper in the air.

The worshipper let out a muffled groan, his chest was struck by lightning, his sword shattered one after another, and he retreated dozens of feet away and fell to the ground.

It seems like the light clouds covering the moon, and the swaying wind returning to the snow.

Xiao Jinyan had never seen such a wonderful sword technique!

After the woman in white stabbed her sword, she did not stop. She was barefoot in the pine tree, and she was walking like a fairy in the air, warding against the wind.

A crane passed through the mountain stream, and the woman landed on the crane and rode the wind away.

It is as graceful as a stunning geese, and it is as moving as a dragon.

He had no time to see the injured Li family worshiper, and looked at the figure who was leaving from afar, unable to speak for a long time.

He was no longer familiar with this figure.

He has seen this figure countless times in his dreams.

He has been looking for this figure for five years.

Now we meet again, it feels like a different life.

Xiao Jinyan felt indescribable. He did not expect that seeing Li Jinghong again was like this. She saved her life with the long sword in her hand.

Seven years have passed.

In the past seven years, he has been free and unlucky, fought, lost, won, lost, loved, but never hated.

Li Jinghong left without saying goodbye, and he was like crazy, rumbling through the entire world, and finally lived in seclusion on the edge of Taihu Lake, waiting for her to appear suddenly.

It was not until Yu Wenshuang's appearance that he gradually accepted the reality that Li Jinghong was no longer in the world, at least not in this world.

When she saw each other again, she became more ethereal, detached, and illusory.

The way of heaven is ruthless and like a sentiment, there is no more exiled immortal in the world.

But for some reason, when she appeared in shock, she left him without leaving a few words, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Jinghong, one wants to be a sarcastic world, and the other pursues immortality, are not people from the same world after all.

The Li family worshippers died.

A person from the upper realm of Tongxiang is powerless in Li Jinghong's hands. This kind of cultivation is enough to be arrogant to the entire world.

Xiao Jinyan was lost and put away the broken sword with the white sword hilt and returned to Jinling City.

...

Li Qingcheng looked at a note on the desk and fell into deep thought. He didn't know the source of the note, so when he returned to his room, he placed it on the desk.

Four words were written on the note: "Huide Business Name".

Huide Business is a shared business that the Li family used to pay for the family operations in order to avoid the taxes of the court. A few days ago, someone took nine hundred thousand silver notes to deal with in different banks. Due to the huge amount, major banks took silver notes to check the bottom notes, which attracted his attention. He ordered people to check the accounts of Huide Business over the past three years. After checking, he found that in the past three years, nearly five million taels of silver had flowed into the family. The person who paid the money was white-clothed sword, several black-clothed sword figures, and even involved a worshipper.

These Li family swordsmen receive a fixed salary every month according to their rank and cultivation level. When they are given separate tasks, they also have normal channels to receive money, but the expenditure of the silver has nothing to do with these.

From this, Li Qingcheng inferred that over the years, in addition to receiving fixed salaries, these guests and swordsmen of the Li family have also secretly transferred silver to them. Through the silver and money in their hands, they have gradually controlled the combat power of the Li family.

This discovery is extraordinary.
