"What are you talking about? Who is Nan Guanghong?" The monk in white looked ignorant. As soon as he finished speaking, he was lifted up again and smashed out.
"Don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty. You are just a casual cultivator, and you still dare to go against our Tianlan Sect!"
Xuan Ye remembered the white-clothed monk. Although he didn't know his name, he was among them when he first went to the Diming Mountains for training, and later he helped Nan Guanghong.
Besides, he was even more familiar with the Tianlan Sect. They intercepted it outside the city, killed an elder, and disabled one of their geniuses.
"Is it possible that they blame Nan Guanghong for all these things?"
Xuan Ye thought to himself, and heard exclamations from the crowd. He looked up and saw that the bearded man took out his magic pen, transformed into a sword, and slashed at the white-clothed monk's thigh.
With a "clang" sound, the big knife struck the ground and trembled. If the monk in white hadn't dodged in time, the leg would have been gone.
"This Wang Xian is really arrogant and domineering. He relies on the name of Tianlan Sect to dominate here, and he attacks so harshly."
"Yes, yes, it makes the Tianlan Sect really like the largest sect in Dongzhou, and has the ability to compete with Xuantian Temple and Chiyue Palace."
"No, have you all forgotten what happened outside Jinglu Town a few months ago? I heard that the deceased elder was his mentor."
"Didn't you hear that there is one person who survived? Didn't you catch the murderer?"
"Who knows? If I were caught, I wouldn't go crazy here. I'd better hide quickly to avoid going crazy and hurting innocent people."
…
Hearing the conversation of passers-by, Xuan Ye frowned, but he didn't expect that this incident happened because of him.
I thought: Logically speaking, Jinglu Town doesn’t even have people to maintain order, right? Aren’t we afraid of causing chaos? But in this situation, even if there were, it would be too late.
"Little brat, if you don't tell the truth, I will chop off your hands and feet and let you taste the pain of my senior brother!" Wang Xian stepped on the palm of the monk in white, crushed it hard, and stabbed down with the long knife.
Just as an arm was about to be removed, a force of energy rushed over and moved the knife out of position, and then it narrowly missed landing next to the arm.
"Who dares to stop me, Grandpa!" Wang Xian stared at the young man in black with eyes wide open, and said angrily: "Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I will destroy you!"
Xuan Ye relaxed his muscles and smiled slightly. "Even if you are so angry and have such a bad mouth, it seems that the elders of Tianlan Sect really didn't teach you what politeness is."
"Why are you talking nonsense here? You'd better think about whether there will be someone to collect the body for you!"
Wang Xian kicked the white-clothed monk away, raised his sword and rushed out angrily.
"Later stage of transformation?" Xuan Ye didn't even take out his magic pen. When the long knife fell, he stepped back and swept past with one kick.
After a muffled sound, a figure flew out and hit the wall beside him, knocking him completely unconscious.
At this time, the crowd dispersed again, and a thin man wearing a purple robe, a bronze crown, long eyebrows and narrow eyes came forward with a group of people wearing Tianlan Sect costumes.
"It's Lin Qingyu!"
Passers-by exclaimed and were even more frightened. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left on the street.
"Okay, okay." Lin Qingyu clapped his hands, with a slight sneer on his slightly sinister face, "This Jinglu Town is indeed a gathering of heroes from all walks of life. Are you going to make an enemy of our Tianlan Sect with this kick?
"
Xuan Ye rolled his eyes in his heart and ignored it, but helped the white-clothed monk up.
"It's...it's you..." The monk in white closed his mouth as soon as he finished speaking, and glanced at Tianlan Sect in panic.
How could this expression not be noticed by Lin Qingyu, "It seems that you two know each other. Could it be that you are Nan Guanghong?"
Xuan Ye gave the monk in white a healing medicine and answered casually, as if he didn't take him seriously at all. "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
"Boy, Senior Brother Lin Qingyu is the head of the three sons of Tianlan. He entered the middle stage of Hunling half a month ago. Don't be so ignorant!" A disciple of Tianlan Sect cursed, and then smiled flatteringly at Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu raised his forehead slightly, obviously feeling very useful.
"Is the middle stage of Hunling very strong?" Xuan Ye asked with a smile.
After experiencing the battle in Yunzhou, let alone the middle stage of Hun Ling, even if he was half Yuan, he was not considered a truly strong person in his heart.
"You're looking for death!" The man rushed out, as if he hadn't seen Wang Xian lying on the ground. The pen flew up and turned into a long sword and stabbed away.
Xuan Ye glanced up, took another half step back, and swept out with one kick.
With a "boom" sound, the stone wall on the street cracked, and another unconscious figure appeared on the ground.
Facing the attack from the late stage of the transformation, he was able to deal with it so neatly and without even using the magic pen, which made the people watching from a distance exclaim in surprise.
Lin Qingyu frowned slightly and found out that the other party's cultivation level was the same as his own, but if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it so neatly.
"Is it possible...he is a martial arts cultivator!"
As soon as this thought came out, Lin Qingyu immediately agreed with the idea, and his heart was filled with a confident smile, but his face turned cold. "Good skills, report to the sect if you have the skills!"
"Piaomiao Sect, Wu Shizhu."
"Piaomiao Sect? Why haven't you heard of...Wu Shizhu? Wu Shizhu?" Lin Qingyu frowned and recited it silently several times, then his face suddenly changed, "You called me a pig!?"
Xuan Ye smiled slightly, with a look in his eyes as if he was looking at a fool.
Seeing this appearance, Lin Qingyu suddenly jumped into a rage, silently recited the magic formula, and his spiritual power surged out, transforming into a purple sword and stabbing away.
The long sword whipped up the strong wind, and its sword intent was extremely sharp, like a shark diving into the sea, showing its sharp teeth.
Xuan Ye gently pushed the white-clothed monk away and held out the jade dragon hair to compete with him.
"You're not a martial artist?" Lin Qingyu was a little surprised, but with a sharp look in his eyes, he took out a jade plaque with his left hand and smashed it over.
The jade tablet immediately turned into a thunderbolt and struck the jade dragon.
The jade dragon hair that emitted green light trembled, and the pen body made a slight crisp sound, and a crack actually opened.
Xuan Ye was startled, and immediately realized that he must have been overwhelmed by the battle in Yunzhou, and he just happened to hit this opportunity.
But Lin Qingyu didn't think so, and immediately sneered: "It's really a small sect, and it doesn't even have a decent spiritual pen. I'm afraid it's not a legacy from three generations of your sect, right? Hahaha... If you admit defeat now, kneel down
Please beg for mercy, and I will reward you with a magic pen, which will be your treasure!"
After saying that, his expression changed, "If not, I will destroy you and this pen together!"
Xuan Ye knew that the Jade Dragon Hair was about to be unable to hold on, and he still felt a little sorry for the man who had been with him for so long. In order to prevent it from completely shattering, he suddenly stopped and put the Jade Dragon Hair into the Sumeru Ring.
Lin Qingyu didn't expect Xuan Ye to do such a crazy thing, but with a cruel smile on his face, he took a heavy step, the purple sword shot into the long wind, and stabbed towards the heart of the young man in black.
However, the sword edge stopped firmly at Xuan Ye's heart. No matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate. Even though the tiger's mouth was numb and the surging spiritual power in his body made his meridians aching, it was still difficult to make an inch.
After trying to no avail, Lin Qingyu took a step back, panting heavily, glanced at his slightly trembling hands, and murmured: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! My sword can't kill you, a monk in the middle stage of Hunling!"
"
Xuan Ye smiled secretly in his heart. Although the demon heart bone was broken, it could still block the sword of a strong man in the Yuanfu period, let alone a monk in the middle stage of Hunling.
However, there was no fluctuation on his surface. Instead, he frowned and asked with a serious face: "Is this what the third son of Tianlan is capable of? Isn't your man as soft as your sword?"
Lin Qingyu staggered back a few steps, his body trembling slightly, anger rising on his face, he raised his sword and charged out.
At this moment, a figure quietly landed between the two of them, stretched out his hand, and opened a barrier, firmly blocking the sword's attack.
"Who are you? Get out of my way!" Lin Qingyu yelled angrily. After seeing the other party's clothes and cold eyes, his heart trembled and he sheathed his sword angrily.
He turned around, kicked the disciple behind him, and cursed: "Quickly leave, I didn't see this dog chasing people away!"
Xuan Ye took a look at the clothes on the man. They were mainly black, with white silk hanging on his body and a purple peony embroidered on it. He must be the person in power here.
Seeing the Tianlan Sect leaving like a bereaved dog, he also helped up the monk on the roadside. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by that man.
"Xuan Ye, my master has invited me, please move on."
Xuan Ye's body tensed slightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable being called by his name by the person he met for the first time. "What if I don't go?"
"Then what you did outside Jinglu Town, I'm afraid..."
"Do you think I'm afraid?" Xuan Ye's tone became colder.
"You are not afraid, but those people in Yunsheng Mansion are not afraid either?"
These words undoubtedly touched Xuan Ye's back, and his aura suddenly became colder. After a moment of silence, he suppressed the anger in his heart. "Okay, I'll go with you."
Jinglu Town is not big, but there is only half of the area where cultivators can move around on their own. The other area is not allowed for outsiders to enter.
Of course, he only found out about a passer-by like Xuan Ye today. However, he did not go deep and only came to a small three-entry courtyard on the outer floor.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw a woman wearing white cloud embroidered clothes sitting in the middle hall, playing with the colorful feathers in the birdcage.
After hearing the sound, she turned around and smiled slightly, "You are here, sit down."
Xuan Ye sat down and looked at her carefully. He had no impression of such a graceful and luxurious woman. However, if the other party could investigate him so clearly, he must have a lot of background behind her.
The woman covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Don't be angry. If I don't let him say those words, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask you. Don't worry, I never wanted to offend you, I just hope to seek cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Xuan Ye doesn't think there's anything worth cooperating with someone who grasps his own weakness. On the contrary, he must act more cautiously in the future.
"That's right, ever since you shined in the weapon refining competition, I have secretly sent people to investigate you. But your whereabouts are uncertain. If we hadn't met by chance in Tianbao Pavilion this time, I'm afraid we would have had to wait for a long time. So please don't worry, we
You would not be stupid enough to offend a Xuan-level weapon refiner."
Xuan Ye sneered in his heart, but the matter was at this point, and he might not be able to leave without finishing the conversation, so he asked: "What do you want to cooperate with me?"
"It's really refreshing." The woman took out a treasure box from the Xumi Ring, "It's not too late for you to take a look at the chips first and then talk about it."
Xuan Ye opened the box and found a prescription inside. What was written on it was the secret medicine for setting bones and regenerating tendons. He was greatly surprised.
"It seems to suit your needs. What do you think of this as a gift for cooperation?"
Xuan Ye frowned slightly, this prescription was just a gift, so how difficult would it be to cooperate? But this thing was exactly what he wanted.
But there is no pie in the sky. He thought for a moment and decided to ask first, "What do you need me to do? Can you tell me now?"
The woman smiled at first, and then said solemnly: "I know that you get along well with Tianbao Pavilion, and they seem to want to sell you favors. So I need you to help me investigate the forces behind it."
