Six or seven men with fierce looks rushed into the door, and their eyes lit up the moment they saw Qiu Yun.
The military men of the Liu family knew that it was impossible to take down the Wei family, so the purpose of rushing into the Wei mansion tonight was very clear, which was to capture as many important "hostages" alive as possible to use as a bargaining chip for Liu Zhongchun and Wei Xianzhi to negotiate.
Qin Caizhen is a master at the late third level, so it will undoubtedly be difficult to capture her alive.
So their targets are mainly Wei Qiaoling and Lu Jingyao.
As long as these two people can be caught, even if Wei Zhaohai appears or reinforcements from the Xuanjing Division arrive, they will not dare to do anything to them easily.
Unless the Wei family doesn't care about the lives of these two people.
"This is the maid!"
"Move quickly! Catch them alive!"
The leading warrior shouted loudly, and someone immediately rushed over and sealed Qiu Yun's acupuncture points.
This was done not out of fear of her resisting, but out of fear of her committing suicide.
After all, hostages only have meaning if they are alive.
"..."
"Plop!"
His body suddenly trembled, and then he fell limply to the ground.
Qiu Yun bit her lip and never looked at where Lu Jingyao was hiding, thinking that she could hide from these bandits.
But after all, she is not a practitioner, and she doesn't know that it is as difficult for ordinary people to hide their body in front of a martial artist as it is to climb to the sky.
What's more, the leader opposite is a master of the third level.
"snort!"
Accompanied by a cold snort, the man with a horizontal scar on his face narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time swung the knife to chop it off without hesitation.
"Crack!"
The huge embroidery bed instantly tore into pieces and exploded into countless pieces of wood, and Lu Jingyao, who was hiding under it, was exposed to everyone without any accident.
Before Scarface could say anything, a subordinate immediately stepped forward and sealed Lu Jingyao's acupuncture points, without even giving the latter a chance to say a word.
"Brother! Let's retreat quickly!"
Someone had already carried Qiu Yun and Lu Jingyao on their shoulders and shouted anxiously: "Once the ancestors of the Wei family come out of seclusion, it will be too late!"
The Liu family knew that Wei Zhaohai had been in seclusion on the third floor of the Wei Family Martial Pavilion for a long time.
Since it is "retreat", it means that it is basically isolated from the outside world. Even if a major incident occurs and requires him to leave the retreat to solve it, there will definitely be a period of time in between.
It was precisely because of this that the Liu family warriors dared to suddenly launch an attack into the Wei Mansion, hoping to quickly end the battle while Wei Zhaohai had not yet left the border.
Now that Lu Jingyao has been captured, although we don't know what the situation is like on Wei Qiaoling's side, they should all evacuate as planned according to the original plan.
but......
"etc!"
The scar-faced man suddenly took half a step to one side quietly and ordered in a low tone:
"Put the person down first."
...
...
Jiuding Mountain.
When Wei Changtian ran to the gate of Tianluo Sect in the heavy rain that had not happened in a thousand years, the scene he saw in front of him could be said to be extremely shocking.
The huge Jiuding Mountain was full of black shadows running around. The heavy rain washed away the ruins. Purple lightning passed through the night and dark clouds to illuminate the rocks and trees. Thick smoke billowed out from the charred beams and rubble.
Including the Black Tower, not a single building of the Tianluo Sect remained, and almost all were destroyed in this endless thunder waterfall.
I am afraid that the famous and decent sects in Daning would never have imagined that the Tianluo Sect, which they had besieged dozens of times without success, would be annihilated by a thunderstorm.
If this news spreads, the entire Green Forest will probably applaud and celebrate.
For the "victim" Tianluo Sect, encountering such a natural disaster is undoubtedly extremely unlucky. However, the good thing among misfortunes is that these lightning bolts do not have long eyes, so the casualties are not huge.
"Grandpa!"
After finding Qin Zhengqiu on a boulder, Wei Changtian jumped to the latter's side and shouted: "What's going on?!"
"Long days?"
Qin Zhengqiu suddenly turned his head and was about to speak, but at this moment, not far away, another purple dragon struck down hard with the force of thunder, hitting the ancient mountain gate with the word "Tian Luo" engraved on it.
.
"Boom!!"
With a loud noise, the mountain gate more than ten feet high exploded, and the word "Tian Luo" was also torn into pieces along with the flying rubble.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhengqiu's figure shook suddenly, and Wei Changtian was silent for a long time.
"Grandpa, you..."
"I'm fine."
Shaking his head with a complicated expression, Qin Zhengqiu tried his best to make his voice calmer.
"Changtian, why are you here?"
"This rain is so unusual. I saw lightning and thunder on the Jiuding Mountain side again. I was worried so I came to take a look!"
Wei Changtian replied loudly: "Grandpa, take the people to Shuzhou City to take shelter first!"
"avoid......"
The waterfall falls from the sky, half competing with the Milky Way.
Qin Zhengqiu looked up at the night sky where thunder and lightning were intertwined, as if there were gods hiding in it, and murmured:
"Long sky."
"Since the establishment of the Tianluo Sect, the so-called famous sects have besieged Jiuding Mountain twenty-two times, large and small, and the Tianluo Sect has never escaped..."
"But I didn't expect that I would be forced to this point by a thunderstorm..."
"Tell me, is this a trick of fate?"
Fortune plays tricks on people?
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment.
He had never been a leader, nor had he held a position like "squad leader" or "manager" before time travel, so he could not fully understand Qin Zhengqiu's mood at this moment.
However, he had seen a documentary about "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" in his previous life, and he thought that the meaning of powerlessness and desolation should be similar.
"Grandpa, I don't know if it's fate."
After a pause, Wei Changtian's expression turned serious.
"I only know that if I keep the green mountains alive, I won't be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as people are still around, I will have a chance to make a comeback!"
"Tianluo Sect is not just these houses and stones!"
"But these real people!"
Turning his head suddenly, Wei Changtian stood up in the rain, pointed at the Tianluo Sect people behind him who were running to put out fires and save people, and shouted to Qin Zhengqiu:
"Grandpa!"
"They are the Tianluo Sect!!"
"..."
"boom!"
There seemed to be another burst of thunder in his ears. Qin Zhengqiu's eyes suddenly widened, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.
yes.
People are the foundation of a religion.
Such a simple truth, why hadn't I figured it out before...
"All disciples obey orders!!"
Suddenly, a voice mixed with the power of the second grade reached the ears of everyone in the Tianluo Sect.
This sentence was very short, but extremely powerful, even covering up the roaring thunder.
"Follow me down the mountain!!"
...
...
Wei Mansion.
"Big, big brother..."
"You, you are actually a craftsman from the Wei family..."
"How is this possible, how can it be..."
"Pfft!"
The shadow of the knife flashed past, and the last human head among the blood splattered fell to the ground, "Gulu Gulu" rolling to Lu Jingyao's feet.
The latter's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that he almost forgot to breathe.
A few breaths ago, she thought she was doomed this time.
However, at the next moment, she watched helplessly as the leader of the gang suddenly burst into violence and beheaded all his accomplices in an instant.
"Mrs. Lu! Are you okay?"
After unlocking Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun's acupuncture points a few times, Scarface turned his head to observe the situation outside the room, and then whispered hastily: "I belong to the Young Master!"
"Son..."
Lu Jingyao looked at the man blankly, and then exclaimed with tears of joy.
"Changtian! Is it Changtian?!"
"It's Mr. Wei."
Scarface nodded, lowered his head and cupped his hands:
"Mrs. Lu, Miss Qiuyun."
"I just wanted to make sure everything was safe and I didn't take action right away. I hope you'll forgive me!"
"Please, ladies and gentlemen, please move to the back room. I need to dispose of the body here. I am afraid that the two ladies will feel uncomfortable when they see it..."
"..."
From despair to shock to sudden enlightenment.
Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun looked at each other and obediently went to hide in the back room.
And Scarface also started busy dealing with the "scene", so as not to wait for someone from the Liu family to come over and find anything unusual.
Scarface did not lie, he was indeed Wei Changtian's man.
To be more precise, he is the "high-ranking" member of the Liu family who is in the same boat and instigates rebellion.
As a third-grade martial artist and one of the most elite members of the Liu family, he naturally received the order to attack the Wei Mansion immediately.
Unfortunately, there were hundreds of people involved in this operation, and they were all gathered in one place. It was undoubtedly difficult to come to report the news in advance.
And even if the letter is reported in advance, the Wei family may not have enough time to respond.
So he could only hold back until just now, taking advantage of the moment when his "accomplices" had relaxed their vigilance, and suddenly attacked, saving Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun in one fell swoop.
"..."
He quickly disposed of the body and hid it in a corner of the house.
Scarface was afraid that something would happen to Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun once he left, so he decided to stay here until tonight's incident was resolved.
In his opinion, although these people sent by the Liu family are not weak, if they really wait for the Wei family's reinforcements to arrive, they will only end up with the entire army annihilated.
Unless Wei Qiaoling and Lu Jingyao can be captured alive before then.
But now Lu Jingyao is fine, and judging from the sound of fighting coming from not far away... Wei Qiaoling's Liu family probably hasn't succeeded yet.
You think so.
After all, Wei Qiaoling is the daughter of the Wei family, and Lu Jingyao is just Wei Changtian's concubine. The guard force around the former must be stronger.
"call......"
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still fixed on the small courtyard where corpses were scattered, guarding against any possible accidents.
One of the three big hens in the yard died, and the remaining two were so frightened that they ran away, leaving only chicken feathers soaked in a pool of blood. The scene was a bit comical.
"Why do you still keep chickens..."
Scarface murmured in a low voice, obviously wondering why a wealthy family like the Wei family would raise chickens in their house.
However, before he could think about it, a sudden and overwhelming force caused him to instantly cast his gaze to a three-story stone tower in the distance.
As they were both at the third level, Scarface could only understand the origin of this aura.
Second level!
It's Wei Zhaohai!
As the ancestor of the Wei family came out of seclusion again, he understood in his heart——
The Liu family's last desperate attempt failed.
...
...
"Grandpa, this way!"
Jiuding Mountain, Tongtian Road.
Although Qin Zhengqiu's last shout was "Follow me down the mountain", at this moment he did not lead the Tianluo Sect people to go down the mountain. Instead, he and Wei Changtian plunged into the dense forest beside the mountain road.
The raindrops fell in drops, smashing through the dense leaves above my head, and then fell on the compass in my hand.
As the white light emitted by the compass became stronger and stronger, Wei Changtian's footsteps became more and more rapid.
The demon compass suddenly lit up when he and Qin Zhengqiu were going down the mountain a quarter of an hour ago.
When the compass lights up, it means there is a demon nearby.
Although there is no evidence that this demon is Yunlian, Wei Changtian feels that it is inseparable.
Even if it's not true in the end, we still have to find out now.
And because he didn't know Yun Lian's specific cultivation level, for the sake of stability, he called Qin Zhengqiu.
Now the two of them have been searching in the direction indicated by the demon compass for a quarter of an hour. Judging from the brightness of the light, they should be very close to their target...
"Changtian!"
Suddenly, Qin Zhengqiu stopped suddenly, narrowed his eyes, and stared at a huge rock not far away.
Um?
Wei Changtian, who was running in front, also stopped and followed the former's gaze, and then he noticed the strangeness of the boulder.
"This is......"
The strange blood-red lines spread out and were washed away repeatedly by heavy rains, but they still did not fade, and even became brighter and brighter.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Wei Changtian turned around and asked, "Have you seen it before?"
"No."
Qin Zhengqiu frowned and shook his head, then stretched out his hand and pointed deeper into the dense forest.
"..."
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning illuminated the forest, and also illuminated Wei Changtian's shocked expression.
"This is crazy..."
He subconsciously blurted out a curse word, and the shock of the scene in front of him was no worse than the ruined Tianluo Sect just now.
An open space with a radius of 100 feet is filled with jagged rocks, and is densely covered with countless blood-red patterns that are exactly the same as those on the boulders!
This scene is just like the scene of a cult's sacrificial ceremony.
No, it should have penetrated several times more people than that.
"..."
Looking at each other, they slowed down and Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu walked very cautiously towards the open space step by step.
And as they got closer and closer, the whole body felt more and more cold, like falling into an ice cave.
"Changtian, you walk behind me."
Qin Zhengqiu suddenly took two steps quickly, and at the same time, his robes moved without any wind. He should have been ready to take action at any time.
Wei Changtian didn't show any politeness at this time. He walked diagonally behind Qin Zhengqiu, constantly looking at the compass in his hand.
He had tested Yangliu Shi before. If the light reached this level, he should be less than ten feet away from the demon...
So what exactly will you see next?
a fish?
A young woman?
Or is it a mistake and it's actually just an ordinary monster?
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
The muddy water exploded under my feet, like flying ink flying everywhere.
Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu suddenly stopped together, holding their breath and staring at a woman who slowly walked out from behind the boulder in front of them.
Or maybe a female ghost is more appropriate.
The inferior hemp skirt was full of holes, and the exposed arms and legs were covered with sunken and bloody wounds, each several inches long, as if they had been bitten by something.
"You, who are you?"
In the sound of rain, some doubtful murmurs reached the ears of the two of them.
"..."
Wei Changtian didn't answer, he just called up the system interface in his mind and asked while squinting.
"This girl, is your name...Yunlian?"
"Well?"
The woman looked up blankly, her little face covered in blood and mud stains very puzzled.
"You, how do you know my name..."
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
Before they finished speaking, Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu suddenly raised their hands at the same time, and each waved a shocking palm towards Yun Lian, who still looked confused.
Like thunder falling in a dense forest, two bright lights, one gold and one white, exploded instantly.
A full-strength move for masters in the late second level.
A divine strike worth five hundred system points.
Neither of them held back, nor did they have anything to say to this fish demon they had never met before. They launched their strongest attack.
All this happened so fast, even with the effort it took to release the palm, the time left for Yunlian was less than a breath.
Wei Changtian didn't think Yunlian could do anything in this breath.
This seems to be the case...
