Wait a minute, heroine

At dusk, the gloomy sky dyed the rocks on both sides of the river black and blue, and there was still a light mist floating on the river.

A awning boat sailed down the river to the ferry on the riverside. The ferry was not big, but there was a huge stone standing next to it, with two large vermilion characters "Qixuan" engraved on it.

Ye Jingtang stood on the awning boat, looked up from afar, and asked:

"What does 'Seven Mysteries' mean? There are seven powerful abilities?"

Inside the canopy of the boat, Zhe Yunli, dressed as a knight-errant, was looking at the towns by the river with a telescope when she heard someone explaining:

"Qixuanmen is a local sect in Tiannan. It has been passed down for more than 200 years. The founder was a sect sect who knew how to blacksmith, refine medicine, read Feng Shui, perform rituals, etc., so he gave it the name Qixuanmen.

"The Qixuan Sect was originally small, with only ten or so people. When Master Fu came out, he slowly developed due to his generosity and medical skills. The main industries were pharmaceuticals and tool casting, and Kung Fu only I can speak generally.

"After Master Fu died, the Qixuan Sect was suppressed by Yaowang Valley. Few people came here for medical treatment. Now the main industry is making weapons..."

Night Jingtang knows that Yaowang Valley is where 'Yaowang Li' is located. The Jade Dragon Ointment it makes is extremely effective in treating internal injuries and bruises. When put in the hands of some people, it can also act as a lubricant to assist. Watermelon push, finding a new path, etc., are considered necessary items for masters to travel around the world.

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang asked unexpectedly: "Is Yaowang Valley also a sect from Tiannan?"

"That's natural, but it's in the south of Tuzhou, a bit far from here, and close to Qianhe Villa."

"I used to think there was only one official city in Tiannan."

"How is this possible? Tiannan is the land of Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. Although it was not as lively as it is now before the arrival of the old god Feng, masters who have retired since ancient times like to come here to live in seclusion. Moreover, Qianhe Villa and Pingtian Sect, They are all forces in Tiannan, not counting Feng Lao Shenxian, and they are more powerful than anywhere else..."

…

While chatting like this, the awning boat slowly docked by the river, and the two of them walked ashore together and walked towards the town in the distance.

After locking in the suspect last night, Ye Jingtang returned to the boat to say hello, and then set off with Yun Li towards Qixuan Gate.

Qixuanmen is already close to the South China Sea, and is only more than a hundred miles away from the official city at the mouth of the sea. However, its sect is not stationed on the riverside, but behind the town, which is still about ten miles away. With decades of operation, it has not grown in scale. It's not small. Standing on the riverside, you can see the majestic buildings, and there are countless people walking around nearby.

Although he looks like a great sect, Ye Jingtang is already almost invincible. It is really difficult for him to be wary of an opponent of Zhao Hongnu's level. This trip is just a training trip with Yunli.

After arriving in the town, Ye Jingtang had a casual meal with Yun Li first, gathered some news about the world, and after confirming that Fu Tongsheng was inside the door, he headed towards the Qixuan Sect.

Zhe Yunli was in front of Ye Jingtang. Although he felt very safe, he did not underestimate him. He analyzed carefully while walking:

"Purple Cloud Sword Fu Tongsheng's external martial arts skills are not very high, and he is fat and does not look like a master at first glance, but if Zhao Hongnu is pretending to be him, he must have quite a lot of hidden abilities.

"Zhao Hongnu was already a mid-level master when he escaped from the capital. He was cultivated by the imperial court since he was a child. As long as nothing happens, he should be able to achieve the level of harmony between man and nature.

"Qi Xuan Sect is good at medicine and tool casting, and also studies Feng Shui. It is certainly good at using poisons and mechanism formations..."

Ye Jingtang walked in front and did not respond to these. Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the situation inside the Qixuanmen.

As a result, he soon discovered that there were more than two hundred auras moving around the Qixuan Sect, and there was a powerful aura in the center. It was like a bright light in the night sky. It was difficult not to see it. According to his estimate, He has the background of mid-level Wu Kui, which is almost the same as what Yu Hu guessed.

After discovering the person who was suspected of being a target customer, Ye Jingtang warned:

"This person is very powerful. Be careful. Don't be reckless. Follow my instructions."

Zhe Yunli became serious when he saw Ye Jingtang. How could he dare to be reckless? He immediately followed behind and asked:

"How do we get in?"

Ye Jingtang didn't know whether the other party was the real murderer, so he couldn't just raze the entire Qixuanmen to the ground without seeing him face to face, so he came to the outside of Qixuanmen first.

Qixuanmen is not a sect that is good at martial arts. It is good at refining medicine and making weapons. Because it is very close to the official city, Jianghu people basically have to supply their wound medicine and weapons here. For this reason, many Jianghu people come here, and the size of the sect is also small. It is quite large, with a medicine shop on the west side and a casting place on the east side.

The middle of the sect is the same as a normal sect. There is a large archway with the name of the sect on the outside. After entering, there is a large venue used for gatherings or martial arts training by the disciples; behind it are the hall, living area, etc.

It was getting dark, and few people were walking around outside the Qixuan Gate. However, there were still two disciples standing under the archway, guarding the door and receiving outsiders at the same time.

Seeing young men and women wearing bamboo hats coming to the door together, one of the disciples walked down the steps and made a quaint salute:

"May I ask who the two young heroes are?"

Ye Jingtang took Yunli to the archway and made up a name casually:

"Guanyun of Qianhe Villa, my master Sun Wuji, is visiting Guancheng this time. I passed by here and came here to pay a visit to Master Fu. I hope you can inform me."

"Guan Yun..."

The disciples who received him had obviously never heard of this name, but the names of Qianhe Villa and Sun Wuji were known to everyone in the world.

Although the disciple was a little suspicious, he came to see the leader of the sect by falsely reporting his family background. If he was found out, his legs would be broken at least. Normal people would not do this. After thinking about it, he nodded and said:

"It turns out to be Mr. Guan. Forgive me for my ignorance, but I have never seen him before. You two go to the living room and sit down first. I will go and report him right away."

"Trouble."

…

——

Earlier, inside Qixuanmen.

In the study room where the headmaster is, Zhao Hongnu is sitting on the Taishi chair. He is wearing a brocade robe, which is very well made. However, he has a round face and a general belly, and a fat figure. He does not look like a warrior, but like a warrior. A businessman who has been in the business field all year round.

In the afternoon, Zhao Hongnu held a cup of tea in his hand, his rather rich face frowning, looking at the golden toad ornaments on the table.

At the window, the second master of Qixuanmen looked out at the gloomy sky outside the window and was saying:

"According to the news, Ye Jingtang has left the capital, and there are widespread rumors that he will come to Guancheng. The next target of Ye Jingtang must be Fengguancheng. Ye Jingtang has a lot of connections with Hepingtian Sect. With his ability, , it is easy to find out what happened back then, we still have to find a way out as soon as possible..."

Zhao Hongnu put the tea cup on the table, leaned back on the chair and sighed:

"Leave then?"

"What should we do with the things explained above? There is such a big business..."

"It was indeed the superiors who helped me escape from the capital back then, and it was also the superiors who gave me a new identity, becoming the distant nephew of Mr. Fu who I had never met. I should have repaid you for this kindness and keep an eye on Tiannan. But in this situation, I can’t wait to die here.”

The second boss is Zhao Hongnu's subordinate. At this time, he also sees that the Green Bandit is about to face disaster. He has no objection to the proposal of the Green Bandit to fly away, but he is a little worried about the Green Bandit cleaning up the family. After all, the Green Bandit can even raise a character like Beiyun Bian. , The Green Bandit's skills are not much softer than those of Night Terror Hall.

The second master thought about it for a moment and asked;

"By the way, what is the purpose of doing this above? Can the leader tell me?"

Zhao Hongnu shook his head and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Keep going to find out the news."

The second master nodded, turned around and walked out of the room without saying anything more.

After Zhao Hongnu waited for the people to go out, he leaned on his chair and thought about it secretly, thinking about his way back.

The Night Terror Hall has no opponents, so the next stop must be Tiannan, and he has a lot of connections with the Hepingtian Sect. As long as he comes here, he will probably be traced.

Although the family fortune built in the past twenty years is large, it still has its fate. Betting on the Night Terror Hall and not being able to find out is obviously too risky. The best option at the moment is to take the best option.

As for whether he would be dealt with by the green bandits after he leaves, Zhao Hongnu is not too worried. The green bandits don't have many people at the moment. He is looking for a place to live incognito. There is no time for the superiors to find him, a little miscellaneous fish. Even if he is found, then It is better to live for a while longer than to die at the hands of Night Terror Hall now.

Thinking of this, although Zhao Hongnu was reluctant to give up such a huge foundation, he still put his life first and got up and started to clean up his belongings.

But unfortunately, before he had packed up his things, footsteps were heard outside, and then the voices of the disciples in the door came from outside the courtyard:

"Master, a man who calls himself Qianhe Villa Guan Yun came to visit and said that his master is Sun Wuji."

"Guan Yun?"

Zhao Hongnu frowned, looked outside, and asked:

"Is he young, handsome, and wearing black clothes?"

"Well... the leader is indeed very good at predicting things."

"..."

——

The sky was completely dark, lights were on inside Qixuanmen, and disciples could be seen walking in the corridor from time to time.

In the spacious hall in the center, Ye Jingtang and Zhe Yunli sat on both sides of the tea table and waited quietly, the teacups in their hands steaming slightly.

Zhe Yunli stood upright and looked very feminine, but his eyes were observing from left to right, and he whispered:

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

Ye Jingtang leaned on the chair and secretly observed the movements inside Qixuanmen.

It turned out that the 'bright light' deep in the sect was walking around the room after receiving the notification from the disciples, and seemed to be packing up things. Then he went out from the door and walked cautiously towards the rear of the sect...

?

Ye Jingtang didn't expect that Zhao Hongnu was so smart and guessed that the Lord of Hell was coming to the door. Seeing that he wanted to run away, he raised his hand and hooked him lightly.

Sa——

The cup placed on the tea table immediately flew out and turned into an arrow that shot out of the window. It drew an arc above the Qixuan Gate and shot directly towards the back of the building complex.

In the rear alleyway, Zhao Hongnu suppressed all his aura and walked carefully towards the back door, so as not to make too much noise and disturb the living King of Hell outside.

Hearing the sudden sound of breaking wind, Zhao Hongnu frowned and raised his right hand without turning his head.

Bang~

The teacup that was shot out immediately hit the palm of my hand, and a burst of water mist exploded in the air.

Zhao Hongnu's martial arts skills were not low, and the tea cup in his hand did not break. Instead, he flipped his wrist lightly and made a sound, removing all the strength.

And when he turned around, he was also shocked to find that a figure in black robe was already standing at the other end of the aisle, looking at him calmly, just like Jiuyou Yama who came to the door silently!

! !

Zhao Hongnu's expression suddenly changed, and his figure immediately froze on the spot, making no further movements.

Phew~

Zhe Yunli was definitely not as fast as Ye Jingtang. He took a step slower before jumping down from the top of the house and landing next to Ye Jingtang.

Seeing a fat man with a round belly and a round face standing in the aisle, with a package hanging on his shoulder, Zhe Yunli knew he was the head of the Qixuan Sect and was a little confused:

"Master Fu, what are you doing?"

Although it had been many years, Zhao Hongnu saw Zhe Yunli's face and could still see his bloodline. His heart sank a little. After a moment of consideration, he threw the tea cup into the flower bed, showing a somewhat heroic attitude:

"People in the world are very particular about whether they change their names when they are walking or sitting down. When people like Ye Daxia are in the lower house, do they need to be secretive?"

After Ye Jingtang held it with one hand, his expression didn't change much:

"I wasn't sure just now because I was afraid of disturbing innocent people, but now it seems I'm overly worried. Are you Zhao Hongnu?"

Zhao Hongnu did not deny it. After looking at Ye Jingtang for a moment, he glanced at Zhe Yunli next to him:

"Hero Ye is here to avenge this girl's parents?"

?

Zhe Yunli was pretending to be a cold and heroic girl. When she heard this, she was slightly stunned, then her eyes trembled slightly, and she turned to look at the Night Terror Hall next to her.

Night Terror Hall did not hide anything. After all, people cannot be resurrected. When there is no way to take revenge, you can hide it first to prevent Yunli from leaving a knot in his heart. He has already found the murderer and is ready to take revenge. If he still hides it, then the revenge will be taken. What else does it have to do with Yunli?

To settle a grudge, you have to know why you killed the other person, and you have to let the murderer know why he was killed. If you don't know that you are killing your enemy, or if the murderer's death is unclear, then the revenge is obviously not fully avenged.

After hearing Zhao Hongnu's words, Ye Jingtang's expression did not change and he just asked:

"I came here today to settle the case in the palace and settle the feud between the Pingtian Sect couple. But before taking action, I still have to ask, why did you kill the Pingtian Sect couple?"

When Zhao Hongnu saw the living Prince of Hell, he knew that he would never be able to walk out of this alley. He thought about it and said:

"If I tell the truth, can Young Master Ye give me a chance to fight head-on?"

Ye Jingtang held the back with one hand and was very generous about it:

"I'll let you make a move first. Whether you can escape depends on your own ability."

Zhao Hongnu took off the package on his shoulder and threw it on the ground:

"When I was young, I saw the son of Emperor Yan Gong in Yun'an. He looked very similar to the man in the couple, and I guessed that he was the prince of the previous dynasty. I used to work in Yun'an, and I knew that one of the Minglong pictures was painted by Yan Emperor Gong took him to Nanxiao Mountain. I think he wanted to rob him, but it was a pity that he miscalculated..."

Zhe Yunli was brought up by his master and his wife since he was a child. He had no idea about his biological parents. But after knowing his life experience and understanding that the two swords he saw in the inn belonged to his biological parents, he still felt a strong sense of hatred in his heart. , secretly gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Hongnu without saying a word.

Ye Jing Tang did not expect the motive for the murder. He simply guessed that the other party had a picture of the singing dragon. However, the motive was very reasonable. It happened to match Zhao Hongnu's record of entering the palace to steal the picture and trying to kill the princess to silence her. He thought for a while and asked:

"Blood Bodhi was also arranged by you?"

"Yes. I am extremely talented and qualified to be the leader, but the old leader has not died, so I can only help him."

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

"Killing a master is a serious crime. I can't be there to arouse people's suspicion. I originally wanted to kill Blood Bodhi, but this old boy was clever and ran away after taking half of the reward. He didn't even come to collect the remaining half."

Zhao Hongnu spoke very openly, without any shame or regret. From just a few words, one could tell that he was a man with deep intentions and unscrupulous means.

Zhe Yunli felt a little unstable and held the knife in his hand:

"Stop talking nonsense to him and just do it."

Ye Jingtang also felt that there was no need to continue chatting, but he still had to count on what he said, so he raised his left hand slightly.

Phew~

The long corridor became silent, because dark clouds covered the sky and there was no moonlight. Only the afterglow of distant lights illuminated the small space in the lane.

Zhao Hongnu's hands drooped and kept opening and closing, obviously wanting to fight, but he was afraid of the fierce name of the 'Night King of Hell' and was undecided. After looking at each other for a moment, he spoke again:

"Night Terror Hall, you are being plotted every step of the way, and your end will be no better than mine."

Ye Jingtang knew that this was not a joke, but an attempt to use words to disturb his mood and distract him.

This method of interfering with the opponent is not uncommon in the world of martial arts, but it usually involves telling something outrageous, such as saying that your wife has a mole on her butt, etc., to make the opponent furious and hysterical. It is obviously useless to say that it is normal.

Seeing Zhao Hongnu say this, Ye Jingtang became interested:

"how you said that?"

Zhao Hongnu carefully observed the aura of Ye Jingtang and responded:

"Back then, I was able to escape Yunan and take root in Tiannan, and it was indispensable without the help of the Green Bandits. The Green Bandits arranged for me here to secretly observe the trends in Tiannan's Jianghu..."

Ye Jingtang is not surprised by Zhao Hongnu's status as a green bandit. After all, the reason why green bandits are called green bandits is because they are good at recruiting green forest bandits who have difficulty establishing themselves in the world. Zhao Hongnu's background and resume obviously fit the green bandit's profile. Entry requirements.

"You mean, the Green Bandit has been plotting against me?"

"It's not about calculation. To be precise, it should be about cultivating gu."

Zhao Hongnu looked at Ye Jingtang's figure: "Beiyunbian was raised above for the same purpose, but you are more powerful than Beiyunbian, so Beiyunbian was abandoned."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly: "The leader of the Green Bandit, what are you going to do by raising a Gu King?"

Zhao Hongnu thought about this and said:

"It should be to deal with Fengguan City."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he knew that Zhao Hongnu was just an errand boy and didn't know anything about it. He responded:

"The Green Bandit is not a good person. How could his purpose be so simple? It seems to me that the people behind the Green Bandit are interested in my skills.

"Fengguancheng also has Gongfa, but it is obviously risky for him to take things from Fengguancheng, so he thought of raising a new 'Gu King' to achieve his goal.

"That's why he only taught Beiyunbian the realm of martial arts, but not the actual combat experience. Because from the beginning, he didn't treat Beiyunbian as his apprentice, but an embryo who could possibly comprehend the great ways of heaven and earth. He couldn't be strong in actual combat. Being powerful is not important to him, he even has to be on guard, lest after Jiazi, Beiyun Border's boundaries, skills, and martial arts attainments become unrivaled in the world and become the next Fengguan City, which he cannot control."

Zhao Hongnu was silent for a moment, but he had no doubts about this statement and just said:

"In my opinion, the one above is not weaker than Fengguancheng. He just didn't want to die together, so he didn't attack Fengguancheng. It should be easy to deal with you. No matter how high your level is, you are still worse than Fengguancheng. With a hundred years of skill, it is impossible to escape from the palm of the hand above..."

Ye Jingtang has reached this point and has seen a lot of things clearly. He responded:

"A frog at the bottom of a well has no idea how vast the world is. The only opponent in my eyes is Fengguancheng. Even if his skills are deeper than Fengguancheng's, in my eyes he is just a man who has practiced brute strength and can only do one It's just a barbarian who has conquered ten societies, so why should we be afraid of him?"

Zhao Hongnu naturally had nothing to say when he saw that Ye Jingtang was not afraid at all and did not even take the leader of the Green Bandits seriously.

Ye Jingtang didn't say any more, and raised his hand again:

"Do you want the opportunity or not?"

"..."

Zhao Hongnu clenched his fists. Although he knew that there was no chance of victory, he still did not give up the chance of survival. His eyes gradually showed a heroic look:

"At your age, I am already the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Great Wei Dynasty. I have lived in seclusion for more than twenty years and have gained a lot of insights. I am not just a fish in the world."

Huhu~

As he spoke, Zhao Hongnu stood up straight, his robes no longer fluttering in the wind, and his aura began to rise, showing a very strong oppressive force.

Zhe Yunli's eyes were cold at first, and he wished he could go up now, but after realizing that the other party was not an ordinary grandmaster, or even an ordinary martial arts leader, he also realized that this ordinary-looking fat man could knock her out for less than half a mile with a punch.

For this reason, Zhe Yunli hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps back and moved out of the way.

Ye Jingtang stood there with one hand behind his back. He did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for Zhao Hongnu to make the first move.

Zhao Hongnu only had one chance to take action. He knew that it was impossible to kill Ye Jingtang, but he had to at least injure and defeat him, so that he could have a chance to escape. At that moment, he still pushed all his strength to the extreme, gradually losing all the fat on his body. All have muscular outlines.

And just when Zhao Hongnu was getting ready to attack, Ye Jingtang, who should have been concentrating on dealing with it, suddenly felt something and turned his head to look in the direction of the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River. Although there was nothing in the black clouds covering the sky, it seemed that Looking at the gods from a distance, even Feng Qingyun's expression became a bit more serious.

Boom——

At this distracted moment, a loud noise came from the deep alley.

The disciples and people in the sect who had not noticed anything strange suddenly discovered that the buildings behind the sect were rising into clouds of dust, and the walls of the corridors were torn apart by the strong wind, carrying the bricks and stones forward.

At the forefront of the impact, Zhao Hongnu strode wildly, his fat body looking like an oversized battering ram. His right hand punched with terrifying force, and he arrived in front of the Night Terror Hall in the blink of an eye. A punch to the center door.

Bang——

The vast energy exploded at this moment, and all the bricks and stones behind the Night Terror Hall were shattered. Zheyunli was unable to stand steadily, and was pushed backwards by the tyrannical energy. The wall at the end of the corridor was instantly swollen and shattered.

Boom——

But in an instant, rubble and rubble flew from the Qixuan Gate, blasting out a cone-shaped spot dozens of feet long in the building complex. All the bricks and tiles of the buildings inside were shattered and almost razed to the ground.

Such a horrifying sight made Zhe Yunli gasp and look anxiously at Ye Jingtang, who had been punched in the middle.

The result was a shocking discovery. Cousin Jing still kept one hand behind his back and turned his head to look to the southeast. Although he was deep in the center of the storm, it was like a needle that fixed the sea, and he did not feel the rough waves around him at all.

? !

Rumble~

Bricks and stones flew into the air, and smoke and dust rose up in the Qixuanmen along with the exclamation.

Zhao Hongnu stood just a few feet away from the Night Terror Hall, still maintaining a stance of punching with all his strength, but the right fist that hit the chest had deformed, obviously breaking the phalanx, causing the entire right hand to turn purple.

But Zhao Hongnu had no intention of paying attention to the severe pain at this time. He just looked at the young man in black robe in front of him in disbelief, with a bone-deep confusion in his eyes:

"you……"

Ye Jingtang waited until the punch was finished before looking back. As for how he felt about being hit, he could only say - the middle-ranking Wu Kui's life-saving blow was not as good as Zuo Xian Wang's casual punch; Zuo Xian Wang's life-saving blow , not as good as Monk Shenchen's casual punch; but Monk Shenchen risked his life to make him vomit blood.

The gap between Tao and Xing was so huge that this punch couldn't break through the defense at all. Seeing Zhao Hongnu's unbelievable eyes, Ye Jingtang didn't waste any time and raised his hand with a big mouth.

Boom——

A loud noise came from Qixuanmen again.

Zhao Hongnu watched helplessly as his right hand was raised, but he could not react at all to avoid it. When he saw it clearly, his powerful and heavy palm had already landed on the side of his face.

Then his head instantly deflected, pulling his body and flying out to the side, smashing into the dilapidated wall, and then penetrated the house. It almost turned into an oversized cannonball, passing through several houses in an instant until it hit the ground. On the verandah platform.

Wow…

Although this slap seemed to be extremely powerful, the force control was obviously exquisite and it did not shatter Zhao Hongnu's head.

Zhao Hongnu knocked a dent into the platform base, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose. After falling to the ground, he quickly bounced up and wanted to escape, but at this time:

Choking——

The crisp sound of swords could be heard in the night sky.

Zhe Yunli arrived almost immediately, his speed reaching the limit. The long knife in his hand drew a glimmer of cold light in the night. Before Zhao Hongnu could raise his hand, he swiped it across his neck.

Phew~

Outside the platform, a pillar of blood suddenly burst into the sky.

The disciples and people inside and outside Qixuanmen were filled with horror when they heard the movement. When they reacted, they found a round head flying into the air and falling outside the main hall of Qixuanmen. The traces on the head and face were still visible after landing. With a look of astonishment, it was as if he had seen an incredible monster.

"Hu~hu..."

Zhe Yunli cut the owl's head with a knife, and he tried his best. After he succeeded, he stood on the veranda, holding the long knife and panting. He felt in his heart that he should be a little emotional, but all he could think of was a daze in his mind.

This situation is actually the same as that of Ye Jingtang, who was raised by his adoptive father since he was a child. He naturally feels regretful and sad about his adoptive father's death, and he also feels unwilling and angry towards his adoptive father's hatred.

As for his biological parents, Ye Jingtang had no idea about them since he was a child. When he finally learned about King Tianlang, he went to take revenge and took on the responsibility of revitalizing Xihai. The unforgettable emotional feeling of my adoptive father.

Moreover, Yunli had just learned this, and it was reasonable for him to feel confused before he could clear his thoughts.

Ye Jingtang understood Yunli's current mood very well, and came to comfort him:

"It would be nice if we could settle this matter and let my uncle and aunt rest in peace. Don't think about it so much. Let's go."

"oh."

…
