At this time, night fell. The caravan, the escort agency, and the Luo family all lit up lanterns and torches, illuminating the deserted courtyard as bright as day.
"I've met fellow Taoist... I'd like to lend you some help!" Chen Dalang is a ninth-grade monk, so of course he wants to give it to Luo Ning and Mo Gu, two eighth-grade monks.
As a monk in Tuo County, Chen Dalang certainly knew Mo Gu.
But he could only pretend not to know him, so as not to arouse Luo Ning's suspicion.
Chen Dalang's seemingly respectful and harmless eyes swept over Luo Ning, but he caught Luo Tianxia's aura without leaving any trace.
"So young."
"I don't know what kind of Tao he cultivates. He looks like a Taoist cultivator, a martial arts cultivator, and a shaman cultivator. This young man is a bit weird."
"Fortunately, he is a newbie and is not wary of me."
Chen Dalang immediately sketched the outline of the assassination target in his mind.
Although this man is just an amateur killer, he is a headhunter after all, not a novice.
There is a dagger quenched with poison hidden under his boots. As long as he gets within one foot of Luo Ning, Luo Ning can be killed with a flying kick when Luo Ning is not prepared.
He has been practicing this flying shadow kick for several years. It is as fast as lightning and has no murderous intention. It is a dirty move specially used for assassinations.
Can a ninth-grade monk kill an eighth-grade monk?
Of course it can, and there are many cases.
Through poisoning, sneak attacks, etc., it is not difficult for low-grade monks to kill high-grade monks.
There were even cases where monks were drunk and easily killed by ordinary people in their sleep.
Therefore, Chen Dalang is very confident.
He looked at the deserted courtyard curiously and said, "I heard that many people died in this place back then, but the government didn't find anything at that time."
While watching, he showed his professional habit of catching heads and actually looked around.
In Luo Ning's view, Chen Dalang at this time looked like a policeman he was familiar with, and he was looking for clues at the crime scene many years after the incident.
This is not Luo Ning's fault. Because Chen Dalang is indeed a head hunter, and he is and is indeed looking for clues in a half-truth and half-false manner.
While looking around, he seemed to have accidentally approached the position of everyone in the Luo family class, and there was no flaw at all.
Even Mo Gu, who knew Chen Dalang, didn't see the flaw.
He also thought that Chen Dalang had a professional habit.
Chen Dalang looked at the flower pond from a rockery, and finally it was only more than ten feet away from Luoning.
He pretended to look at the flower pond and smiled bitterly: "I'm really bored. After all these years, what else can I see?"
"Well, even if we can find some clues, it's of no use."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards a stone pavilion next to Luo Ning.
There was nothing suspicious about the whole process.
When he walked to the stone pavilion, he was less than one foot away from Luo Ning.
Moreover, his position is behind Luo Ning.
After being an amateur killer for several years, his mind has become very stable and he has restrained his murderous intention very well.
It is actually difficult to restrain the murderous intention. If you want to be a killer, you need to train to restrain the murderous intent for a long time.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to successfully attack the target. Therefore, ordinary monks are rarely willing to spend time practicing to restrain their murderous intent.
Chen Dalang felt a little proud.
Luo Ning, aren't you an actor? I'm acting too.
This distance was less than one foot, and he was still from behind. Luo Ning could not sense the murderous intention. As long as he made a sudden attack, Luo Ning would probably not be able to dodge it.
No matter whether he succeeds or misses a blow, he will run away immediately. Mo Gu and others will never meddle in other people's business.
Luo Ning did not sense Chen Dalang's murderous intention, but he sensed that Chen Dalang was...acting!
This is the magic of Lingdao monks.
As long as you are close enough, you can sense whether the other person is acting.
It’s obvious that the persona of this ninth-grade monk’s headhunter was staged!
The question is, why does he want to act as a head catcher?
Thinking of this, although Luo Ning did not feel the murderous intention, he secretly paid attention to Chen Dalang.
Just when Luo Ning secretly paid attention to Chen Dalang...
Chen Dalang, who was already full of confidence and ready to go... suddenly burst into flames!
His body flew like a falcon, a leg shadow kicked out like lightning, the tip of his toe flashed with cold light, revealing a blue poisonous blade!
The speed is like a sharp arrow, neither fast nor sudden.
It was only then that the killing intent that he tried so hard to control suddenly unleashed unbridled, and the mercury burst out like water.
Soon enough, Chen Dalang's flying shadow kick was carrying a poisonous sharp blade, less than three inches from Luo Ning's lower back.
At this distance, even if the opponent is an eighth-grade monk, it will not be easy to deal with him if he is caught off guard.
However, at this moment, Luo Ning's body strangely avoided him, as if he had been on guard for a long time.
Chen Dalang's kick was as fast as lightning and missed!
Luo Ning was originally an eighth-grade monk, and he paid attention to Chen Dalang's actions. How could he still be plotted?
Under the operation of Ling Dao's mental method, Zhang Tianshi's Taoist true meaning blessed his soul, and he avoided Chen Dalang's fatal blow with a single step of shrinking to an inch.
At the same time, a thunder seal blasted out from his left hand.
"disease!"
With a "boom", a ball of thunder and fire hit Chen Dalang, and Chen Dalang immediately burst into flames like dry firewood splashed with oil.
It was Luo Ning's first time to use Zhang Tianshi's Thunder Talisman, but it felt as if he had used it many times before, and it was no stranger to it.
This is also the magic of Lingdao.
Although this thunder talisman is only of the eighth level, it is more than enough to deal with Chen Dalang.
"Ah--!" Chen Dalang, who was hit by the thunderball, suddenly let out a heart-rending scream.
Not everyone can bear the pain of being burned by thunder and fire.
At this moment, even his soul was being burned.
It was only then that everyone realized that this man was a killer.
"What's going on?" Something bad flashed through Mo Gu's mind, "Why did Chen Dalang want to assassinate Luo Ning? Could it be that... the second brother assigned Chen Dalang to kill Luo Ning?"
"Second brother! You are so confused! How can you hand out a contract!"
If Mo Gu can't guess anymore, then he is a pig.
What a pity.
The blow just now, if it were an eighth-grade monk, would have been successful!
But Chen Dalang was only at the ninth level of perfection, but still lacked the strength.
"Brother!" Luo Li couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene.
"Brother!" Li Dingguo and Su Xian also turned pale.
In fact, from Chen Dalang's attack to being hit by Luo Ning's thunder and fire, it was just a blink of an eye, and they had no time to react.
Luo Ning was also a little lucky at this time.
If he hadn't noticed that the other party was acting, which aroused his suspicion, or if the other party was an eighth-level martial artist with a higher level of strength, then he would have really been plotted just now.
The world is dangerous.
Who sent this killer?
Luo Ning thought of this and immediately cast a fire extinguishing spell to eliminate his own thunder and fire.
Although the flames on Chen Dalang's body were extinguished, a thunderous burning smell still filled the air, and he was howling miserably.
Already seriously injured.
Luo Ning knelt down and looked at Chen Dalang with cold eyes, "Who sent you to kill me?"
"Tell me, I will give you a pleasure. If you don't tell me, I will have no choice but to lose my soul."
Luo Ning stretched out his hand to the top of Chen Dalang's head, "As a monk, you don't know the pain of soul withdrawal, right?"
Chen Dalang is not a ghost. He has a physical body. The probability of extracting his soul to find the answer is actually less than 10%. But no matter how small the probability is, it is still a solution.
"It's the Xue family." Chen Dalang confided without hesitation, "I just took people's money and was entrusted by them."
At this moment, his intestines were about to break.
The turtle son’s bald Aler actually lied to me!
This Luoning is so cautious and cunning, how can he be a novice who doesn't know the dangers of the world? Isn't he just here to die?
Chen Dalang did not mention Night Guest Gate, because the head of Night Guest Gate is here!
"Master Luo, as long as you spare my life, I will tell Master Luo a secret."
Xue family! Luo Ning's eyes became even colder when he heard these two words.
The Xue family really wants to get rid of themselves!
Good, very good.
"What secret?" Luo Ning looked at Chen Dalang with a half-smile, "Tell me about it. If the secret is important enough, I will spare your life."
After saying that, he performed a sound isolation technique.
With the Taoist sound isolation technique, only he could hear what Chen Dalang said.
At the same time, Luo Ning was also secretly wary of Mo Gu and others.
Mo Gu felt murderous intent in his heart, and wanted to kill Luo Ning immediately, as well as Chen Dalang, who wanted to expose Xue Mansion.
But with so many eyes on his employer's caravan, he is now an escort and can only stand by and watch.
Chen Dalang said to Luo Ning: "I know where the body of the famous Fairy Pianran, the former leader of the True Sacrifice Sect, is."
What? The former leader of the True Sacrifice Cult, isn’t that Lu Pianpian? Luo Ning was immediately interested.
In fact, everyone in the world knows Fairy Pianran, but they don’t know the name Lu Pianpian.
"You keep talking."
Chen Dalang took a deep breath: "I know this secret accidentally. Fairy Pianran died in this county, but very few people in the world know the news."
"Her followers were afraid that her body would be found by the new leader, so they hid her body in a place called Yinyue Villa for three years."
"If you tell this secret to the new leader of Zhensi Cult, it will be a great achievement."
