In the dark night, an owl flapped its wings and glided in the air. As it flew, it sang a warm and sweet nursery rhyme with a creepy voice. The nursery rhyme sung from the owl's throat was indescribably eerie and strange.
On the back of the owl, there is still a cloud of black smoke. Naturally it is Gugu and Taoyao.
"Gugu, get down!"
Tao Yao suddenly turned into a human form, waved her sleeves in mid-air, and countless peach blossom petals flew out, blocking the densely packed flying knives!
The petals fell off, and Gugu lost all his hair in shock and fell to the ground.
Without Tao Yao's protection, it would have turned into a dead owl among the dense flying knives.
"very scary!"
Cooing and squealing.
"Shut up! Sneak away and find an opportunity to rescue your master!"
Taoyao gave Gugu a kick, kicked it aside, and stared coldly at the dense forest in front of her: "Who is so brave, even daring to block my path!"
While talking, Taoyao's body gradually condensed into shape in the black smoke. Taoyao, wearing a black skirt with peach lace and holding a peach blossom in one hand, appeared in the mountain forest.
"Ahem...Miss Tao...I have no intention of making an enemy of you...it's just...this road is temporarily blocked, please wait for a quarter of an hour...after that time, I will apologize to you."
A lean old man, leaning on a smooth wooden stick, walked out of the night.
Next to him, there was a young woman wearing a white gauze, face covered, holding a pipa, and a bald man in tight-fitting clothes, as if his muscles were stuffed into the clothes. The strong man held a mace and pointed at
Tao Yao stared at him eagerly, and even stuck out his tongue and licked his chin, trying to anger Tao Yao.
"What are you?"
Tao Yao's peach blossom eyes were wide open, her eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be anxious at all. But her heart was slowly sinking.
With just a slight sniff, she judged the strength of the three people in front of her.
The old man with the staff is a Sequence 5, and his extraordinary path is unknown. The young woman in white gauze is a Sequence 4, probably a Musician path extraordinary, who is good at killing people with music; and the bald man is a warrior strategist with a Sequence 4.
One sequence five, two sequence four.
Seeing the opponent's posture, Taoyao knew that it would be impossible for her to break through the defense line in a short time.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
Taoyao seemed to be absent-minded, her eyes fell on the peach branch in her hand, counting the petals one by one.
The old man didn't speak, but the young woman next to him took a step back gently, pressing one hand on the pipa string. The bald man's eyes flashed fiercely, he clenched his fists, and his tights creaked.
Taoyao seemed to have done nothing, but her out-of-control extraordinary power was already emanating from her voice, and she was ready to use her natural power to "contract" and make a contract with the three people in front of her.
Although the three of them didn't know how powerful Tao Yao's natal skills were, they could feel the extraordinary power emanating from Tao Yao. They judged that this was a sign that Tao Yao was going to take action against them.
"I'm curious...how do you know about my existence?"
Tao Yao was not in a hurry to take action, but instead blinked her big eyes and asked. However, her tone was stern at this time, without the coquettishness she had when talking to Su Wen.
But the three of them did not answer, and still stared at Taoyao warily. Not only did they prevent Taoyao from breaking through the defense line to rescue Su Wen, but they also had to be careful about Taoyao escaping. If Taoyao slipped away, they would run to the back of Qingshan Academy to bring in reinforcements.
, let alone leaving, the three of them were lucky to die quickly.
"Mute?"
Taoyao smiled coldly: "Then let me guess?"
"Please."
The old man holding the cane seemed to feel that if he continued to remain silent like this, he might make Tao Yao even more angry, which might cause the delay to go away.
But...he would never be willing to fight Tao Yao unless it was absolutely necessary. No one knew how many trump cards this terrifying being who had been imprisoned in the spiritual prison five hundred years ago had.
What's even more frightening is...the evidence they have fully proves that Taoyao has been in a state of semi-loss of control, and that other people's semi-loss of control hurts others and themselves, but Taoyao seems to have mastered the power of losing control, that is, the power of losing control.
It is more lethal to enemies.
Such a person who borrowed knives on credit was naturally a huge shock to the three of them.
They know very well that if they fight with their lives, they can win the final victory.
But when it comes to killing Taoyao, it is very likely that none of the three of them can survive alone. The best outcome is that one person survives, but it is more likely that they will die together.
After all, Tao Yao is not only terrifying because of her out-of-control power, she is also a knife dealer and a high-ranking boss of the Mo family. No one knows how many extraordinary weapons and hidden weapons of the Mo family she carries on her body.
"The first source of information... is naturally the internal factory."
Taoyao nodded slightly: "Only someone in the inner factory knows that I am with Su Wen, so the person who deals with Su Wen must know the situation in the inner factory very well. The second one is... Xie Lingyun."
The old man nodded slightly, but without comment, indicating to Taoyao to continue.
Taoyao was no longer interested in talking further.
In the inner factory...someone wants to kill Su Wen.
Who is this guy?
Nangong?
Impossible. In fact, it is impossible for anyone in the factory in Jiangnan Province to think of killing Su Wen.
They do not have any conflicts of interest.
But as the inner factory goes up, does it involve higher-level struggles?
After Xie Lingyun made a big fuss in the spiritual prison, many forbidden items were missing from the spiritual prison.
Xie Lingyun never forgets the forbidden object Tian-09, and Tao Yao never forgets the forbidden object Ruyi Jade Plate, but they are not the only ones who are thinking about it.
It would be impossible for those who were in the center of the whirlpool to survive without the protection of forbidden objects.
Liu Sandao, Lao Liu and Su Wen were naturally noticed by some people, who believed that they might be protected by a forbidden object.
Liu Sandao and Lao Liu were both familiar with the internal system of the factory, and they had a very easy to identify method. Someone must have secretly investigated the two of them, and finally eliminated the numbered taboo parasitic objects in their bodies.
Only Su Wen, under the protection of the academy, the higher-ups in the inner factory did not dare to make mistakes.
Therefore... this sudden assassination can test Su Wen's depth and whether he has extraordinary power beyond his strength to help him.
Of course, this should be only one of the reasons.
The deeper reason involves Xie Lingyun.
After all, Xie Lingyun is backed by two schools of thought and has been deeply involved in the imperial court for many years. It is impossible that he does not have die-hard allies. Maybe Xie Lingyun's coveting of the forbidden object Tian-09 comes from the bewitchment of these people.
After Xie Lingyun's accident, the forbidden objects in the spiritual prison naturally became the targets of these people, and they would naturally try to find out the whereabouts of the forbidden objects.
In addition, it does not include anyone who wants to avenge Xie Lingyun.
Although Xie Lingyun died at the hands of Nangong, there were still rumors that he was tricked to death by Su Wen.
Naturally, the person who leaked the news could not be the internal factory, but Wang Yushi, who cut off his robe and sleeves with Xie Lingyun. Bah, cut off his robe and cut off his righteousness. As a censor, it is naturally impossible to keep secret. In the process of capturing Xie Lingyun, Su Wen played
What kind of role you play will naturally be known to those who are interested.
So if someone wanted to avenge Xie Lingyun, it wouldn't be surprising to find Su Wen.
As for Tao Yao's identity, it may not be known to anyone in the Jiangnan Dao Nei Factory, but at the Nei Factory headquarters in the capital, interested people can always find information. As for the final placement of Tao Yao's information, Jiangnan will naturally report it to the capital.
, so in the plan to surround and kill Su Wen, Taoyao is naturally a link they cannot avoid, so they must be prepared.
And from the gathering of these three high-sequence powerhouses with different paths in front of me, a lot of things can be analyzed.
This time, what was targeting Su Wen might be an extremely huge force, or it might be the confluence of several different forces to do a big thing.
Taoyao's judgment is more inclined to the latter.
The more forces involved, the greater the possibility of leaks. Moreover, uneven distribution of interests can easily lead to internal strife and greater losses. This is just one of the disadvantages. The more terrifying disadvantage is that Su Wen
In addition to being a member of the inner factory, he also has the big tree of Qingshan Academy at his back.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of many extraordinary beings, Qian Haoran is already a sequence six sub-sage - even if he is not, his strength should be infinitely close. Another teacher of Su Wen is also on the way to be promoted to a great scholar. Apart from these two
Qian Haoran and Dong Zhizhang had many Confucian scholars, gentlemen, and professors among their students. They were also a force that could not be ignored in the entire Liang Dynasty.
The status of Su Wen in Qingshan Academy can be seen from the stone tablets erected in prominent places from the Si Xian Hall of Qingshan Academy to the Peach Blossom Forest in the back mountain. It is easy to kill Su Wen, but what will happen if the academy knows the identity of the murderer?
What consequences?
Therefore, those who dare to take action against Su Wen can only be driven by a certain deep-rooted force. But no matter what kind of force it is, when facing a behemoth like Qingshan Academy, it has to be cautious. For Su Wen,
Going to war with the entire Qingshan Academy would be an immeasurable disaster.
"Haha...it's getting more and more fun."
Tao Yao smiled softly and sighed in a low voice: "The Ji Ran family is indeed a group of bold and reckless guys. Their calculations are really far-reaching."
She already knew that Xie Lingyun's plan was promoted by the forces of Ji Ran School, mainly because a debt collector with a girlish face wanted to get promoted.
But in Taoyao's view, this reason is very far-fetched.
Xie Lingyun has been planning the spiritual prison for twenty years. It is impossible for the debt collector to wait for such a long time for such a promotion opportunity.
In other words, it could not have been the girl who induced Xie Lingyun back then. It could only be the force behind her, a certain force from the Ji Ran family school.
The girl just happened to meet up and took advantage of this opportunity to complete her promotion ceremony.
After the girl achieved her goal, this force came to harvest Su Wen and reap the fruits of this plan that spanned twenty years.
This is the truth.
"You all don't know what kind of trouble you...have brought upon yourselves."
Taoyao sighed and looked at the old man holding the stick, as if he was looking at a dead man.
