A mansion in Wangchuan City.

An old man was sitting in his backyard drinking tea, but he looked solemn.

About half a month ago, he learned about a news from a certain Xinluan flew from the south that the person he sent to perform the mission failed and was also told that the person who performed the execution might have died.

When the old man heard the news, he was very surprised. He immediately sent a message back and asked the people there to find out the reason. But now half a month has passed, there is no movement there. This makes him angry and also a little upset.

The old man would come here to have tea almost every afternoon. This is a habit he has developed over the years. Today is sunny, so naturally no exception.

The tea was just brewed and there was no time to taste it. A middle-aged man came to the courtyard in a hurry. Before the latter could walk to him, he called out in an anxious tone: "Father!"

Seeing him like this, the old man immediately put down the teacup in his hand that was about to hand to his mouth, and then stood up. It was not until his eldest son came in front of him that he said with some dissatisfaction: "What kind of swearing is so impatient, how can he scream!"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man reached out and took out a roll of letter paper from his sleeve and handed it over, and replied indifferently: "Isn't this the one who finally replied to the letter? I know my father must be anxious, so after receiving the letter, the child immediately delivered it to you."

The old man took the good letter paper handed over by the other party and did not criticize too much. He knew his son better than his father. He knew the character of his two sons. The eldest son is now approaching forty years and has long been established in his personality, and it will be useless to say too much.

While opening the letter paper, the old man asked in a reckless manner: "What did the letter say?"

The middle-aged man spread his hands and said bluntly: "I didn't see it."

When the old man heard this, he didn't say anything more. He opened the letter to check it out. Then he found that there was only one sentence written on the paper, "Confirm that death, their bodies have been found!"

Seeing this, the old man trembled in an instant and murmured to himself: "How could this happen? With the strength of the two of them, as long as the young man entered the seventh level or the seventh floor, how could he kill them? Could it be that the one in Songyang Town who has been following him secretly helping him?"

The middle-aged man also saw the handwriting in the letter at this moment, and couldn't help but turn pale.

Most of the reason why Cao Haiping promised him to take on this thankless chore was because he had saved the other party's life, and later, he also supported the former to promote the Yunxia Sect. Without this favor, the other party would never have done the killing. After all, as long as he set out to do this, no matter what the final outcome would be, there would be no turning back, because the person who acted was destined to give his life to this matter.

However, what made the middle-aged man very depressed was that after Cao Haiping and Gao Yuanyi, who went south to wipe out the Danxia Sect, not only did he fail to complete the interception, but he also failed to do so in this mission, which made him feel very depressed and even a little nervous.

Cao Haiping was born in the grassroots. Although he can be regarded as half of his friend for now, in fact, he still uses the latter, so he dies after death. He doesn't feel any psychological burden. But Gao Yuan's death will inevitably be a big and difficult problem for him, and even for their entire family, because the latter's identity is too sensitive. This not only involves his current position, but also involves his original identity.

"Father, what should I do? With the strength of the two of them, if they join forces, even the warrior who is just entering the seventh grade should be able to fight with one another, right?"

When the old man heard this, his face turned extremely gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he said coldly: "It's impossible to hide it. That man was in charge of the entire Lingzhou instead of His Majesty, and he was full of eyes. If he wanted to find out this matter, it was only a matter of time. Therefore, instead of waiting for that person to come and ask for guilt, we should take the initiative to go to his mansion to take the initiative to apologize. Maybe there might be any turning point in the middle."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was a little reluctant to speak. He hesitated for a moment before he said gently, "That... is there really no other way? I heard that the man's temperament is very difficult to deal with, and he is not good at soft and hard. Besides, can we let the Wu family help..."

"Shut up!"

The old man directly interrupted the eldest son, and suddenly reprimanded him in anger and said, "How can you be so ignorant and put your destiny in the hands of others? Although the Wu family agreed to some of our needs on the surface, our family failed to replace the Li family for a day. Do you really think the Wu family will offend that person for us?"

When the middle-aged man saw that his father was really angry, he immediately felt unhappy and did not dare to talk back, but just lowered his head.

Seeing that he was so soft and soft, the old man became more and more disappointed and said in dissatisfaction: "Look at you, how can you still be so short-sighted at the age of age? If I die, with your current appearance, what ability will you be able to take over the burden of the family? I think this family will be ruined sooner or later."

The old man's words were undoubtedly a bit generalized. After all, it was like making friends with Cao Haiping and using the relationship between Cao Haiping and Gao Yuan to intercept the young man. It was originally from his eldest son. Perhaps it can be said that he did not have a very mature overall view, but he was far from being a loser.

When the middle-aged man saw his father accusing him, he did not dare to refute anything on him, and just whispered: "I can't be a family, so why don't I have a second brother..."

When the old man heard this, he was so angry that he shivered, but then he just pointed to the latter and said the word "you", and then stopped saying anything.

The old man picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it all in one go. At this moment, only the coolness of the tea could calm his mood. After a while, he continued to ask, "By the way, when it comes to your second brother, has he been sending back some news recently?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and replied, "No."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, you two brothers, both of them have their own problems. You are too concerned about immediate interests, while the second child is too concerned about women. What's the best thing about women in the mountains and wilds? How can he be so obsessed with him and not even care about the business at home? And I heard that woman has a husband?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly at this, but he was unwilling to say bad things about his brothers behind his back. Even in front of his father, he didn't want to, so he remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, the old man waved his hand in disappointment and said, "You go and do your own business. I will deal with the matter over there myself."

...

In another mansion in Wangchuan City.

At this moment, a man with a very strong face was sitting in his study to perform his business.

Looking at the mountain of letters uploaded from various townships in Lingzhou waiting for him to review on the table, the man's face was always as calm as water. It can be said that since he took office for nearly ten years (it has been exactly ten years until the end of the year), he has never concealed or complained about the position he is currently in charge.

As always, he opened these letters to view and review them. If it mentioned the letters that require him to make decisions in person or make suggestions, he would put the letters aside first, and only after he had read all the letters and restored his emotions to calm down, he would make his most rational and objective solution to these letters.

However, today he is destined to be broken by the habit of maintaining it for nine and a half years and a month, because he picked up a letter from Jingning Town at this moment.

There was very little content on the letter, only a few lines of words, but after he read the brief description recorded in the letter, he suddenly stood up from his seat. Then the very calm man directly said to the waiter waiting outside the room, "Chunzhi, go and call Qinghuan. If he is busy, say I have something important."

After hearing this, the boy replied respectfully: "Yes, the second master!"

About half a quarter of an hour later, a man named Su Qinghuan came to this study room within this mansion.

When Su Qinghuan saw the man with a strong face but a little gloomy at this moment, she saluted respectfully and said, "Uncle, you are looking for me."

Su Tang nodded when he heard this, and then handed the latter a piece of letter paper, which was the one that made his mood slightly change. After Su Qinghuan finished reading the contents, he spoke, "What do you think about this?"

After reading it, Su Qinghuan's face also turned very ugly. He asked in confusion: "Didn't Gao Yuan say before that he went south just to wipe out the Danxia Sect? With his cultivation level, how could something happen if something happened to a sect that was only a third-rate?"

When Su Tang heard this question, he said coldly: "I am also very curious about this, but no matter what, he is dead now. The Gao family entrusted him to do things under my hands. No matter what, I have to give them an explanation afterwards. Let's do this. You can find out the reason for me first. After I understand the whole story of this matter, I will find a way to reply to the Gao family."

Su Qinghuan sighed with a wry smile and replied, "Yes, my nephew will do it now." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But the uncle saw that the deadline for employment was about to come, but such a bad thing happened. It's really..."

After that, a sharpness flashed in Su Tangwen's eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's indeed a headache, but this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty and will not affect me. It's just that the Gao family must spend some time comforting them. After all, Gao Yuan is the grandson whom Mr. Gao loves the most. It's okay to talk to his father in front of him, but that old man is famously unreasonable."

Su Qinghuan was seven years younger than Gao Yuan, so naturally he didn't dare to criticize too much on this topic, so he listened quietly.

Su Tangdon paused and then continued to say to him: "Okay, the way the matter ends depends on the specific process to decide. I will not interrogate this matter to the Gao family in a short time, but I can only give you up to ten days. You must find out the cause of the whole thing."

Su Qinghuan replied with a heavy emphasis: "Yes, uncle!"

...

After the stunning woman on the opposite side broke three strings again and forcibly used three sharp sword energy, Xu Yan's face became very serious.

Although he forced the sword to take it on the surface with his martial arts true energy, the real situation was that the sword energy still made him feel a little tight and short of breath and suffered some internal injuries.

At this moment, any of these three sword energy that was rushing towards the front was undoubtedly more powerful than the previous sword energy.

Xu Yan did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately controlled the martial arts true energy in his body and directly pushed out a palm to destroy the mountain. Then he blocked the remaining true energy in front of him.

One palm destroyed the mountain and turned into a huge golden handprint worth more than ten feet in size, successfully blocking one of the sword energy, and then turned into countless star dots and quickly dissipated in the rain curtain.

Immediately afterwards, the second sword energy arrived as promised.

A sword hit his light shield.

There was a loud bang!

Without any surprise, Xu Yan was knocked out by the sword energy again, but this time, the result he suffered was obviously much more tragic than when he endured the first sword energy.

After smashing ten green bamboos in a row and storming them for more than twenty feet, Xu Yan stopped in a mess. However, before he could take a breath, the third sword energy came again.

"boom!"

Faced with this third sword energy, Xu Yan had no extra means to resist at this moment, and could only rely on his martial arts physique to force his force.

So, a big splash of flesh and blood exploded from Xu Yan's chest in an instant, and his body was blown away again.

A bang vibrating!

Xu Yan fell to Gu Xueqing in a very miserable position. At first glance, at his chest, he was not only covered in blood, but also saw the thick white bones hidden in the flesh and blood. Xu Yan felt this pain and smiled bitterly, as if he felt like he had returned to Chi Feng's body refining again.

Fortunately, although this sword energy broke through the surface defense on his body, it could not take his life.

"Wow, Xu Yan, why are you so miserable again? Tsk tsk, I told you not to drive the ducks on the shelves, why don't you learn a lesson? Last time you were almost beaten to death by those two people. Alas, if you asked me to help, how could you end up in such a field?"

Hearing this gloating voice from the sea of ​​consciousness, Xu Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of nature or because she had mutated, that her mouth was so smelly.

Xu Yan slowly got up from the ground, endured the pain in front of his chest, and began to use the Bible's healing method, and ignored her at all. However, just as he had just closed his eyes, Xiao Cai continued to say to him: "Xu Yan, don't heal the wound first, it seems that there is something wrong."

Xu Yan thought she was playing a prank, but she still ignored it.

After seeing this, Xiao Cai immediately said anxiously: "I didn't lie to you. There are really changes in this bamboo forest. I feel that there are many bugs crawling towards you. If you don't believe it, you can open your eyes and see it yourself."

When Xu Yan heard her tone so serious for the first time, he could only slowly open his eyes. Then he found that as she said, there were actually dense black bugs in this bamboo forest, which were constantly crawling quickly in his direction.

"What are these?" Xu Yan stood up with a grave expression on his face as he looked at the crawler approaching, and couldn't help asking Xiao Cai.

Xiao Cai's perception is much wider than Xu Yan's current cultivation level. This is her talent advantage, which is completely unmatched by the latter. However, she had never heard of these insects summoned by the stunning woman, so she replied bluntly: "I don't know, I have never seen such things, but I can feel that they do not seem to contain any breath of life."

When Xu Yan heard this answer, he asked in confusion: "No breath of life?"

After hearing this, Xiao Cai felt it for a moment before she confirmed that she replied: "Yes, there are at least tens of thousands of crawlers here, but none of them have the breath of life."

Xu Yan murmured, "How could this happen?"

However, regardless of whether they have the breath of life or not, at least one thing Xu Yanshi can clearly feel is that their current goal, which is obviously towards him and Gu Xueqing.

Xu Yan had noticed the stunning woman's escape before, but at that time, he was restrained by the other party's three sword energy and could not leave Gu Xueqing alone, who was still trapped in the illusion, so he could only let her leave. However, before leaving, she actually created this move to deal with him with a pile of insects, and she couldn't help but make a sneer suddenly appear on his face.

You know, after learning the sword energy record, what he is most afraid of is the number of battles.

So, Xu Yan immediately slammed the green bamboo next to him, shaking off the entire bamboo leaves. Then, without stopping, he directly used the sword energy record, controlling the bamboo leaves all over the sky to turn into thousands of sword energy, aiming at the insects on the ground and shooting them away.

One sword is seven thousand two hundred sword energy.

And each sword energy stabbed one of the reptiles on the ground, but then Xu Yan discovered that when his sword energy stabbed the reptiles, they turned into a burst of blue smoke and then disappeared.

"Sure enough, they are not real life forms." Xiao Cai said to Xu Yan beside her after seeing this scene.

Xu Yan heard that there was no expression behind him. For him, no matter whether they were living or dead objects, there was actually not much difference, because he absolutely could not let such unknown things really get close to him, and even more so, they could not get close to Gu Xueqing's side.

Xu Yan's entire face looked even whiter than after he was injured. Fortunately, after almost exhausting all the energy in his Qi Mansion, he finally lost all the reptiles on the ground.

Xu Yan looked at the bamboo forest in front of him that had been filled with blue smoke after he killed all the reptiles, and with a hint of fatigue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Xiao Cai's voice suddenly sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness.
