After some conversation, Zheng Lin learned that the girl in white was actually the daughter of the head of the Liu family in Changchun Star. Her name was Liu Qingqiu. She had been spotted by the deacon of the outer sect of Taixuan Sect a few days ago and was taken to Taixuan.
Behind the door, he was refused entry because of his age.
On Changchun Star, the Liu family's overall strength is inferior to that of the Zheng family. However, if we look at the number of martial arts masters alone, the Liu family has a slight upper hand. On the entire continent of Changchun Star, the Liu family has the strongest force.
After waiting until noon, the three of them did not wait for the so-called big ship to greet them. Liu Qingqiu was so anxious that he frowned and never relaxed. He kept muttering to himself: "Why hasn't dad sent a ship yet?
The time has been agreed upon!"
Zheng Lin couldn't wait any longer. When the sun hit the pole, he said to the two of them: "You two, I still have important things to do. I can't delay. Let's say goodbye."
Zheng Lin had already asked about the direction of the mainland, and learned from the two of them that the island was not far away from the mainland. He could completely cross the sea by force on a raft. As long as he was not unlucky enough to encounter strong winds and waves, there would be nothing wrong with him along the way.
Danger.
After finishing speaking, Zheng Lin swung his sword and made two simple oars, which could barely be used to row a boat.
Liu Qingqiu didn't stop, but she followed all the way to the beach. When Zheng Lin pushed the raft into the water, she gritted her teeth and jumped on. Naturally, she would not fall down all day long.
Although the raft was not very big, the space was still barely enough for three people to stand on it. Zheng Lin didn't care that they would get on. Everyone was a skilled person. If they tried their best, they could get up faster than Zheng Lin rowing alone, and he could save money.
Put in a lot of effort.
Fortunately, the wind was blowing in the direction of the mainland. Although there was no sail, the thrust of the waves was not small. The raft the three of them were on quickly moved away from the island where the teleportation array was located.
Looking at the vast sea, the three of them were calculating how long it would take to reach the mainland, and Liu Qingqiu was even looking forward to meeting the big ship sent by her father on the way.
Zheng Lin and Cheng Tian each held an oar and followed the wind and waves. According to their current speed, Cheng Tian estimated that it would take at least three days to reach land, and that was without anyone taking a break.
Three days is still acceptable to Zheng Lin. After all, Helian Qianxun and Yuwen Lieyan's wedding is not a short time away. As long as everything goes well after returning home, his schedule is not urgent.
Contrary to expectations, it took the three of them five days to reach land. Fortunately, Liu Qingqiu brought a lot of snacks, and everyone was able to live in a short period of time and drift all the way. They didn't feel hungry at all, but Zheng Lin and Cheng Tian
So tired.
The Liu family is located in Zhancheng, which is close to the sea. Liu Qingqiu inevitably invited Zheng Lin to visit the Liu family. Zheng Lin really had to pass through Zhancheng on his way back to the Zheng family, so he agreed.
Liu Qingqiu, who was eager to return home, and Zheng Lin, traveled all day long. First, they went to a seaside town to buy three fast horses, and then went straight to Zhancheng. It took them nearly a day to arrive at Zhancheng when the sky was dark.
.
But when they arrived at the gate of Liu Mansion, they saw a puzzling scene——
The gate of Liu Mansion was closed tightly, and a row of soldiers holding spears and wearing iron armor guarded the door, showing a solemn atmosphere.
Liu Qingqiu and Chengtian came forward to inquire, but they heard a piece of news that made Liu Qingqiu's face turn pale: seven days ago, the Liu family, the most powerful family in the mainland, was wiped out overnight!
In the entire Liu Mansion, no one in the more than a thousand members of the family survived. Even the head of the Liu family and several aristocratic elders who had already reached the stage of collecting semen were not able to escape. The wealth accumulated by the Liu Mansion for countless years was also wiped out.
On the mainland, except for a limited number of immortal cultivating sects, no force has such tyrannical methods. However, the Liu family has always had good relations with all powerful immortal cultivating sects and has never offended them. As a cultivating sect, they also
It is impossible to do such a shocking evil thing.
As the only survivor of the Liu family, Liu Qingqiu was able to enter the Liu Mansion after revealing his latest identity. However, what he saw after entering the Liu Mansion was a mess, with broken walls and charred wood everywhere. The murderer was killing and robbing.
After that, they probably set the house on fire.
The person who led the three people to inspect the scene was an old general named Wang Tieshan. He had always been on good terms with the Liu family, and it was he who confirmed Liu Qingqiu's identity. Wang Tieshan led the three people into the backyard, but Zheng Lin and the other three saw that they were placed
More than a thousand corpses were neatly arranged, covered by white gauze. The corpses that had been left for seven days each exuded a nauseating stench.
Seeing this scene, tears welled up in Liu Qingqiu's eyes, but he still looked strong. Wang Tieshan led the three of them into a house, where several corpses were also displayed. When he lifted off the white gauze,
Liu Qingqiu burst into tears and kept shouting: "Dad, grandma, mother..."
The corpse had begun to decay, but Liu Qingqiu wanted to pounce directly on it, but was held back by Wang Tieshan.
"General Wang, do you have any clues about the murderer?" Chengtian was still awake at this time, but when he asked the question, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of grief and anger.
Wang Tieshan sighed and said helplessly: "The murderer's actions were too fast. Almost everyone in the Liu family was attacked and killed in half an hour. How could such a powerful force leave any clues? Besides, we are here.
By that time, the fire had spread. We were putting out the fire and moving the bodies to a safe place. We were unable to find any clues. However, what is certain is that this matter must have been done by immortal cultivators. The number of people is unknown, and there are at least five of them.
The above-mentioned masters of late stage Najing!"
The head of the Liu family and several elders are all masters of the essence-receiving stage, but there is only one scar on their bodies. They must have been killed instantly. The only ones who can make them unable to fight back are those in the middle-stage of collecting essence and above.
Just fine.
"Qingqiu, you have to express your condolences." Wang Tieshan said another word of comfort to Liu Qingqiu next to him.
"You guys go out first, I want to accompany them for a while, wuwu..." Liu Qingqiu said sobbing.
After the three people exited the house, a general in silver armor walked into the backyard, holding a gold medal in his hand and said to Wang Tieshan: "General Wang, this was just found by a brother."
Wang Tieshan took the gold medal, wiped the black dust on it, frowned and said: "From Tiger King Mountain..."
Zheng Lin was curious and took a closer look. There was indeed a lifelike tiger head engraved on the gold medal, with the word "王" prominently displayed between the tiger's brows.
Cheng Tian also saw it and said angrily: "That son of a bitch, Tiger King Mountain, swallows up countless offerings from my Liu family every year, yet he would do such a vicious thing!"
Zheng Lin did not speak, but Wang Tieshan and the silver-armored general looked suspicious. After a moment, Wang Tieshan said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. This token can definitely belong to Tiger King Mountain, but the murderer may not be
It is also possible that the cultivators at Tiger King Mountain were deliberately framed by the murderer."
After listening to this, Chengtian said aloud: "I don't think it is a frame-up. My Liu family has been wiped out, and there is no way to take revenge. The murderer blamed Huwang Mountain, which will not cause any harm to Huwang Mountain at all."
But General Shining Armor explained: "Although it can't hurt Tiger King Mountain's strength, it can hurt their reputation."
