Chapter 42 Assassination of Miyun (Reconciliation)
Zong Shou smiled coldly, choosing the disgraceful method of ambush and assassination, which would not be as good as his own. If Qi Xiao's master still wanted to have face, he should never come looking for him.
But if you think about it more carefully, in this era, the God Emperor has not yet appeared. All the five continents and sixteen islands in the Cloud Realm are bloody killings and endless battles. As long as you don't like someone, you can draw your sword. Whatever you like, then
Robbery. The strong can dominate everything, and the big fist is the reason. Except for those big sects that claim to be famous and upright, who will tell you what the rules are?
Only when the God-Emperor unifies the world in all directions and establishes etiquette and rules, will future generations of martial spiritual masters be restrained.
However, it is indeed difficult for the Huanyang Realm spiritual masters from the Cloud Realm of Middle Earth to seek revenge and come to Linyun Continent in the east.
However, it is quite a headache to know who ordered this person. There are too many people who may have planned to ambush him.
If you think about it carefully, with your identity, you are actually surrounded by enemies——
Secretly smiling bitterly, Zong Shou brushed the matter over and looked at Yin Yang up and down: "How are the injuries? How many people died over there? Are there any survivors?"
The injury was more serious than Xue'er's, with dozens of blood marks, some of which were still bleeding. However, Yin Yang's spirit was extremely strong, as if nothing was wrong.
As expected, Yin Yang ignored his injuries and frowned slightly: "The total number of twelve people has been killed! They are all dead soldiers, hiding poison. Xue'er and I captured three people, but none of them were able to
Survive. There is another secret martial artist who is escaping, but I can't catch him."
Zong Shou sighed, but fortunately he had given up hope when he asked. Then he turned his head and looked carefully in the direction outside the dense forest: "What about our losses?"
Speaking of losses, Yin Yang's two thick eyebrows were almost tangled together. His face was full of bitterness, and when he spoke, he was still concise and to the point: "The loss is huge!"
It wasn't until Zong Shou was carried back on the road by Chu Xue that he realized what Yin Yang's words about "big losses" meant.
Of the sixteen horses riding on the clouds, four of them died, and the rest were all slightly injured. Fortunately, these horses ran in front and did not bear much of the impact.
And the cloud-turning car also completely changed its shape, making a huge pit on the ground.
However, this car is really strong, and it is indeed made of fine steel. The Fanyun Car, which is ten feet long and weighs 50,000 kilograms, was overturned to a height of thirty feet and then fell. It did not fall apart, but only the body part.
The steel plate is just a little twisted.
You can imagine how sturdy this car is.
Zong Shou felt like crying but had no tears. In this era, each Cloud-Stepping Horse was worth around one hundred thousand taels of silver. And a cloud-turning chariot made by a spiritual blacksmith might not be available for even one million taels.
"Blast fifty thousand kilograms of iron lumps thirty feet away! How many explosive flame talismans did these guys use?"
Zong Shou first looked to the side. The huge pit in the middle of the road was fifty feet in diameter. Fortunately, it was mostly offset by the spiritual formation on the chassis of the cloud-turning chariot. Otherwise, the impact alone would have been enough to kill him and
Yin Yang was shocked to death in the car.
Naturally, they can spare their lives, and it is not because those people are merciful. It's just that once the number of explosive flame talismans exceeds the number, or is replaced with other high-level talismans, it will probably trigger a wave of psychic energy. Chuxue Yinyang, who is sitting in front, will definitely also
There is a feeling.
The terrible thing is, it is estimated that this is just a test by those people. Most of them just want to see what kind of backup Zong Weiran has, who is still standing behind him, and how will they react afterwards?
If it were an innate martial arts cultivator or a spiritual master from the Night Travel Realm who took action personally, they would have no choice but to wait to die in today's battle.
After walking around his cloud-turning car again, Zong Shou breathed a sigh of relief.
The damage to the entire spiritual array is not serious, and it only needs a little repair before it can continue driving. At least it will not be a problem to get to Obara City. The fine steel and craftsmen produced there are enough to temporarily repair the car.
Then he felt pain in his body again. There were really not many beast crystals on his body. Fortunately, this time, he replenished a lot from Qi Xiao. The total value was about 500,000 grain silver.
There is also the third-level cold underworld tiger. This soul beast alone is worth three times as much as the cloud-turning chariot.
This time, he finally didn't lose too much.
"correct!"
Zong Shou suddenly remembered something, turned around, and continued the interrupted topic: "Yin Yang, remember that my father had set a fiancée for me before? This girl's father is the lord of Xuanshan City?"
Xuanshan City is called a city, but it is actually a country. It is built on Xuanshan Mountain and has a radius of more than fifty miles.
All the large and small human towns for thousands of miles nearby are under its jurisdiction, and its influence extends to three provinces. And its city lord is also of the half-demon lineage.
In Zong Shou's memory, this person's strength seemed to be only inferior to that of Qian Tianshan. He also had a close relationship with Zong Weiran.
When Yin Yang heard this, he shook his head with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, it's better not to count on Xuanshan City. It is said that the princess of Xuanshan City has always opposed this marriage. Recently, even her father and mother have also opposed it.
The attitude is ambiguous. In these years, I have ignored the prince, and I can tell a thing or two——"
Zong Shou felt relaxed all over, and even the losses just now didn't feel so heartbreaking.
What he hates the most is this kind of unclear involvement.
※※※※
It took an hour to repair the spiritual formation of Fanyun Chariot. He also sorted out all the traces of the battle here. When Yin Yang drove forward again, it was already an hour and a half later.
And just as the dilapidated carriage disappeared at the end of the road, two figures suddenly rushed in from a distance, one behind the other.
One is in his middle years, and the other is a young man. Their faces are hidden in the rain and cannot be seen clearly. Only the two red palm marks on the left and right are clearly visible.
"Who is this, setting up a murderous plot?"
Looking around carefully, Feng Xiao showed a thoughtful look on his face: "The heavy rain is pouring down at this time, which is when the water element's spiritual power is at its peak. To blow up such a deep pit, at least fifty high-level Explosive Flame Talismans were used -"
Looking around again, the branches and leaves of the trees were swept away by the sword energy and fist wind. Feng Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "At least four secret martial arts masters fought fiercely here for a quarter of an hour! Two of them died! Except for this
Besides, there should be a spiritual master!"
Zong Ling had long known that Feng Xiao had rich experience, and was still slightly surprised at this moment. But the next moment, he sneered again: "Who knows who? There are too many people who want my cousin dead, and they want to protect him.
There are quite a few people there. In short, it can’t be just our manpower!”
Feng Xiao shook his head and walked into the dense forest like a ghost. He walked out again after half a quarter of an hour.
But his face was a little pale: "The spiritual master who took action has reached the peak of soul viewing. If I am not mistaken, this person is probably that Qi Xiao. From what I can see, this battle should be within ten breaths.
One sword is fatal, piercing the brain!"
"Qi Xiao? I heard that this person had a good relationship with Zong Yang in the past and became friends. However, this person also has some friendship with the people of Lieyan Mountain. It can be speculated that Lieyan Mountain is responsible for the blame, or maybe
Zong Yang did this on purpose, using this person’s identity to confuse the public—”
Zong Ling murmured in a low voice for a moment, then suddenly woke up and finally realized the true focus of Feng Xiao's words. His expression also changed.
"Did you just say that within ten breaths, a sword was fatal and penetrated the brain? The person who took action was an innate strong man? Aren't all the people who secretly protected my cousin been targeted? Who is this person?
Where did it come from?"
Feng Xiao shook his head slightly: "I don't know what the situation is! I only know that it is extremely difficult for even an innate martial artist to kill a soul-watching spiritual master with one sword. This situation is really a bit weird! That Zong Shou is next to him
, the strength is probably a bit beyond our imagination. If we have to, if we need to take action personally, I'm afraid we will have to add more manpower——"
His words were filled with confusion and confusion.
What happened at the foot of Danling Mountain and the situation here today are all disturbing.
