"What happened?" The second disciple's expression suddenly became tense, he put down his brush and asked hurriedly.
"The two assassins who assassinated Master Yuan suddenly disappeared," the guard said.
"What? Didn't I ask them to wait for my next step in the abandoned warehouse? Why did they suddenly disappear?" asked the second disciple.
…
After hearing this conversation and Yao Guang's testimony, Jiang Nan had confirmed that the second disciple was the mastermind behind the two killers in black.
It turned out that the second disciple had always been dissatisfied with the eldest disciple, so Sect Leader Yuan decided that the eldest disciple would be the next master.
The second wanted to usurp the position of the leader by first killing the leader Yuan and then the eldest disciple.
Another important reason why Jiang Nan decided to attack the second disciple was that the eldest disciple had good conduct and cared about the people, while the second disciple was ruthless and jealous. If he was allowed to succeed, the whole city would be in ruins.
"Boss, the truth is now clear. As long as we kill this second disciple without anyone noticing, we can follow him to the Hundred Years Valley." Bai Haoming said.
"Yeah, but if we kill him like this, there will still be chaos in the Tianyi sect." Jiang Nan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "Why don't we have some manifestations of gods and the like to warn people with evil intentions."
"This is a good idea, leave it to me!" Xu Banxian became interested and argued.
"What are you going to do?" Bai Haoming asked curiously.
"Of course I will give the next head a dream first, and then I will float a few big characters in the sky." Xu Banxian said with a sly smile: "Anyone who is an enemy of the people will only die! How about it?"
…
After nightfall, the second disciple has been restless and pacing back and forth in the room.
"This second disciple, it looks like he won't be able to sleep for a while." Danying was a little upset and said coldly.
"If you wait patiently, he won't stay up all night, right?" Bai Haoming comforted him.
"Since when did we act like mother-in-laws?" Danying complained dissatisfiedly, and instantly turned into a red light and rushed out of the cover of the invisibility technique.
"Danying, you..." Bai Haoming was about to stop him when he heard a thump in the distance.
Danying struck the second disciple's neck with one hand, and the second disciple rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.
"Leave it to me next." Yaoguang said coldly, stepped forward, and the immortal energy in his hand flew out instantly.
The immortal energy lifted the second disciple to lie on the bed, and then the immortal energy pierced the second disciple's chest.
"Hmm~"
The second disciple let out a muffled groan and his head went soft.
"Solved." Yaoguang clapped his hands and said.
"Yaoguang, aren't you afraid that the soul of the second disciple will see his wound?" Bai Haoming was a little anxious. It was not easy for them to find a person who had committed a heinous crime.
"He won't see anything." Yaoguang said.
Bai Haoming curiously stepped forward to check and found that except for the fact that the second disciple died, he was completely asleep.
"Okay, stop looking and leave quickly. The soul will fly out in a while. If he sees us, he will know the cause of his death. Our plan to go to Centennial Valley will fail." Yaoguang pulled Bai Haoming away.
A handful, urging.
"Let's go." Jiang Nan greeted Bai Haoming and flew out of the hall with everyone.
"Come here, come here, there's an assassination attempt!" Suddenly, the voice of the second disciple came from the room.
However, only Jiang Nan and others could hear his voice.
"Come on, people, are you all deaf? Are you all deaf?" The second disciple became furious and shouted angrily in the room.
After shouting for a while, he saw that no one had come in yet. He was very angry and stepped forward to open the door.
But he was shocked to find that his hands went directly through the door.
"What, what is going on?" The second disciple was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Until he discovered that his body was slightly translucent gray-white.
"Am I already dead? Who killed me? How did I die?" The second disciple looked shocked and hurriedly checked in the room, and sure enough he found himself lying on the bed and dying peacefully.
After checking for a long time, he found nothing. The second disciple did not know the cause of his death.
"No, no, my grand plan has just begun, how can I die! This is not fair!" The second disciple collapsed and roared.
He lay on his own body many times, trying to revive himself, but found that it was useless.
At the same time, a voice came from the darkness.
"Follow me, follow me..."
"Who are you? How did I die?" The second disciple kept roaring towards the darkness with fear and anger.
"Follow me, follow me..."
The voice in the darkness seemed to have a kind of magical power. Gradually, the light in the second disciple's eyes dimmed, and he followed the voice like a walking corpse.
"Jiangnan, hurry up, let's follow." Yaoguang saw this and hurriedly urged.
"Yes." Jiang Nan nodded, turned into a white light, and followed the second disciple neither far nor near.
"Bai Haoming, your method is good." Dan Ying, who was following the second disciple, saw that it was effective and couldn't help but praise it.
"Thank you." Dan Ying usually only praises Jiang Nan here, but Bai Haoming was a little flattered by this compliment.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. If the second disciple finds out and he guesses the cause of his death, we won't be able to go to the Hundred Years Valley." Yaoguang frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with their chat.
"Oh, by the way, you go first, I'll be right back." Suddenly, Xu Banxian slapped his forehead, remembering that he hadn't warned the world yet.
"Go back quickly." Jiang Nan said.
"Don't worry." After Xu Banxian said this, he turned into a shadow and flew towards the direction of Tianyi Sect.
Along the way south of the Yangtze River, Xu Banxian left a relatively conspicuous mark, but only people from the immortal clan could see it.
The second disciple kept walking forward, and the scenery around him kept changing.
Gradually, the scene from the sky turned into a passage with only endless darkness, with no sky, no earth, and no end.
Directly in front of the second disciple, about ten centimeters away, was a small flame floating in the air.
The small flame flickers on and off, like an elf, leading the crowd.
Jiang Nan didn't know how long he had been following the second disciple when he heard the whistling wind in his ears.
"Why hasn't Lao Xu come here yet? What is he doing?" Bai Haoming looked back from time to time as he walked, and found that there was no trace of Xu Banxian at all, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't worry about him for now, let's go to Centennial Valley." Danying glared at Bai Haoming.
Anyway, without Xu Banxian and with Jiangnan here, everything would be safe.
Bai Haoming said nothing, sighed, and continued walking forward.
