Looking at this matter from Long Chen's perspective, we can see it clearly.
But from another angle, looking at the whole thing from Chen Lian's perspective, it will look very desperate.
Just after taking over Longxing Valley, the three people with the highest cultivation levels spontaneously combusted and died inexplicably.
After two days of searching, no trace was found.
There is only one guess: Eastern Zhou assassins are secretly assassinating.
But who is this assassin, where is he, and what methods did he use?
Chen Lian knew nothing about this.
In such a situation, anyone would feel desperate.
If Chen Lian knew that this murderer was beside him, he wouldn't know how he would feel.
Gu Yinglian and Liu Jindao died of spontaneous combustion at the same time. Long Chen announced that the competition would continue, and both groups in the audience were shocked.
Pang Lezhi stood up and asked: "Liu Yasi and Gu Yinglian died of spontaneous combustion. The matter has not been investigated clearly, so the competition will continue. What if someone else among us dies?"
Others echoed: "We refuse to compete until the murderer is found."
Long Chen said loudly: "My lords, the murderer has been found, it is Liu Jindao just now."
"Let me tell you, the spontaneous combustion is because the assassins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are mixed among us. Only through competition can we distinguish them one by one and find the assassins. This is for everyone's good."
Before Long Chen could finish speaking, the officials below retorted loudly:
"We can find the murderer through competition, but the price is our death."
"We are all dead, what's the use of finding the murderer?"
"Does Liu Yasi want to watch us die?"
"It is your Imperial City Division's responsibility to find out the murderer, why should it be at the expense of our lives?"
"You are incompetent, so let us die!"
"We refuse to compete! Even if the Emperor's Holy Son comes, we will not go on stage!"
The officials quickly reached a consensus that no one was willing to compete on stage again.
The officials refused, and the people in the world also objected:
"We also refuse, so why should we be blamed?"
"In total, three of us died, and only two of them died. I think the assassin is among them."
"They are the assassins. Find them out first and then talk about the competition."
"Why do you doubt us and why do you attack us? They are the most suspicious."
The two sides were yelling at each other with a distance of one meter, and long weapons could even stab each other.
The scene was chaotic, and the Imperial Guards were on standby outside.
Facing the chaotic scene, Chen Lian and Tieshan yelled loudly, trying to quiet down the two sides, but the quarrel was so loud that no one paid attention to them.
Chen Lian asked Long Chen: "What should we do?"
Long Chen shook his head helplessly and said: "There is nothing I can do."
This situation is exactly what Long Chen wants.
Tieshan planned to let the imperial troops enter the middle passage and forcibly separate the two sides.
At this moment, Pang Lezhi, who had the highest cultivation among the officials, suddenly burst into smoke.
The official nearby was so frightened that he screamed and shouted: "Pang County Prime Minister has spontaneously combusted."
Pang Lezhi looked at his smoking body and screamed in fear: "Help me, help me!"
The quarreling stopped, and everyone watched as Pang Lezhi smoked and caught fire, quickly burning into a pile of ashes.
Everyone looked on in shock.
Suddenly, Long Chen pointed at a person in the world and cursed: "That's him, I saw him poisoning!"
In this case, no one will distinguish between true and false.
The officials scolded, and the forbidden troops entered the scene at the same time and pounced on the martial artist.
Of course, the martial arts people would not wait for death, and shouted: "The imperial court wants to kill us, brothers, don't wait for death, it's the opposite!"
With a cry, the simmering anger of the people in the world rose to the sky, and they took out their weapons and started fighting.
The officials and the imperial army were besieging together. The Jianghu people did not have an advantage in numbers, but they were all experts in fighting in their own way, so they had an advantage in the melee.
Whether they are officials or the imperial army, they usually follow orders and fight, but when they encounter a melee, they are not as good as people in the Jianghu.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, with Long Chen and Chen Lian watching from the stage. From time to time, someone would smoke and spontaneously combust.
"The murderer is in the crowd, and he is still killing!"
Long Chen shouted loudly, and Chen Lian also felt that Long Chen was right.
Tieshan tried hard to determine the direction and find traces of the assassin, but he could never find any clues.
"kill!"
Two masters suddenly flew up from the stage and pounced on Long Chen and the others.
Long Chen turned around and ran away, leaving Chen Lian and Tieshan behind.
Tieshan draws his sword to fight, but Chen Lian is not good at cultivation and can barely fight against the master.
Long Chen rushed out of the melee of the competition in one breath, and there were reinforcements from the Imperial Army on the road.
"Go quickly, go quickly, they are rebelling!"
Long Chen shouted to urge him and kept running outside.
Watching the melee, Long Chen felt very happy.
They have all been poisoned by the magic stone. When fighting desperately, the toxins in their bodies will intensify and they will be more likely to spontaneously combust.
After this killing, even if he doesn't spontaneously combust and die, he will become a waste.
After returning to the room, Long Chen picked up the bow and arrows on the wall, went out and ran towards Nanshan.
The fighting in the west continues.
When we reached the southern ridge, the Forbidden Army's archery tower checkpoint was still there.
They did not leave because of the riots in the west and continued to stick to their positions.
Seeing Long Chen coming up, the imperial guards immediately shouted: "No one is allowed to leave Longxing Valley without permission, go down!"
Long Chen raised his head and shouted: "I am Liu An, the deputy valley master of Longxing Valley. There is a riot among rebels in the rivers and lakes. We can't stand it any longer. Hurry and get reinforcements!"
The imperial guards were unmoved and scolded: "We don't care about what happens in the valley. We are only responsible for sticking to this place. No one is allowed to leave without permission."
"Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"
Long Chen walked to the sentry tower and took a glance. There were 25 people upstairs.
"You bastards sit back and wait for success or failure, waiting for everyone in the valley to die. Why don't you just wait and see!"
Long Chen cursed loudly, but the people upstairs still ignored him.
"Liu Yasi, if you keep messing around like this, we won't be polite."
The leader of the archery tower held a crossbow machine and yelled at Long Chen.
The arrow towers on the ridge are not isolated. There is an arrow tower 150 meters apart.
They support each other and form a complete defense system.
The fighting in the west became more and more fierce, the palace was set on fire, and thick smoke billowed from the west.
The soldiers on the arrow tower shouted: "Boss, look!"
The leader looked to the west and thought something was wrong.
"No, something really happened."
The leader just thought that Long Chen was acting recklessly, but now he realized that something was wrong with his behavior.
The leader felt that it was necessary to discuss with Long Chen, walked to the edge, and looked down at the place where Long Chen was standing just now.
"Where are the people?"
The leader looked around strangely.
"it's here."
Long Chen smiled and patted the leader's shoulder. The leader turned around and saw Long Chen and exclaimed: "How did you get up here?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Of course it flew up."
A sharp dagger pierced the leader's heart, and the leader slowly fell to the ground.
Just now, when the soldiers' attention was attracted by the thick smoke, Long Chen flew up to the arrow tower and killed everyone.
He lifted up a few soldiers, pierced their bodies with knives, and nailed them to the railings, pretending that the soldiers were still standing, thereby confusing the archery towers on both sides.
After everything was done, Long Chen took some feather arrows, quietly slipped down the ridge, and headed south.
The fighting is still going on in the valley, and it's getting more and more brutal.
Long Chen walked south for more than ten miles, looking for footprints along the way. He was looking for Qiu Rong and Qiu Yao.
These two girls had miserable life experiences. Once Long Chen left, the ghosts would definitely find out. Qiu Rong and Qiu Yao would then be identified as accomplices, and they would definitely die if they stayed in Longxing Valley.
Therefore, Long Chen planned to take them away.
As an upright and upright gentleman, Long Chen has always been responsible to the end.
When he reached a valley, Long Chen suddenly stopped, dodged and hid behind a tree.
