Looking at this letter, Jiang Ran, who was rarely flustered, couldn't help but have a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
It's a trap!
As soon as the secret in Liuyuan was discovered, they couldn't wait to invite the old drunkard here.
This is not a trap, what is a trap?
And, what time is it now?
Even if it's an invitation, it shouldn't be at this time.
This is obviously an attempt to create a time difference.
Even though Qi Tianyue didn't know the identities of Jiang Ran and Tang Shiqing in Liuyuan, he still knew that today the earth dragon turned around, and the owner of Zuodaozhuang was among them.
It's hard to say whether the secrets under Liuyuan can be kept.
This matter is of such great importance that even Qi Tianyue would not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
Therefore, he could only use the current time difference to carry out the original plan without the old drunkard knowing anything about what happened in Liuyuan.
As for an old drunkard, no matter what the reason is for Qi Tianyue to find herself.
He had no reason not to go.
Even if he can leave this letter here, it is already the most prudent choice.
Unfortunately...it's still not enough!
"let's go!!"
As soon as everything was running through his mind like lightning, Jiang Ran let out a soft drink.
Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai did not hesitate at all. The three of them crashed out of the house and went straight to Xintian Tower!
Although during his days in Jinyang Mansion, Jiang Ran never left home.
However, he could clearly see all the large and small buildings, restaurants, government offices, etc. in Jinyang Mansion.
I know exactly where Xintian Tower is.
The three of them performed Qing Kung, like three shadows.
All the buildings were left behind.
Xintian Tower has appeared in front of you.
This is a 100-foot dangerous building. Looking from a distance, you can see that the top floor is brightly lit.
But before he could look any further, dense crowds of men in black were already flying towards him.
Obviously, this place has already been arranged for the Heavenly Palace.
No one is allowed to approach easily, especially a group of people with high martial arts skills like Jiang Ran. Anyone who comes close will be attacked and killed.
Jiang Ran's heart flashed with murderous intent, but before he could take action, the stars in Tang Shiqing's eyes were already turning quietly.
Suddenly, it felt like the sky was falling!
An extremely terrifying aura instantly enveloped an area of dozens of feet in radius.
The tiles of the building underfoot were rattling, as if they were about to explode at any moment, and the invisible force caused the domestic dogs and hounds raised in the city to whimper, as if some huge terror was quietly coming.
But the most intuitive thing is these people in black flying over.
The intense and indescribable fear was like palms grasping their hearts.
Most of them even forgot to breathe, forget what they were going to do, forget that they were still in mid-air, and forget to perform Qing Gong.
Wow!
In an instant, it was like dumplings falling from the sky, and the men in black fell one after another.
Some fell into houses, and some fell on the street, their heads were bruised and bleeding from kowtow, but they were shivering and did not dare to touch their injuries or even raise their heads.
As for the few remaining ones, whether because they were too nervous or because they were born without fear, their heads turned in unison, making a clicking sound.
The body then fell to the ground.
Jiang Ran couldn't stop praising the Tang Dynasty's poetic skills, and he had already passed by. He rolled up his figure in Liuguang Jue and suddenly came to the window on the highest floor of Xintian Building. He fit and bumped into each other and entered the hall.
within.
When I looked up, I saw that there was only one table in the hall.
There is a person sitting at the table.
This is a man wearing linen clothes with a slightly embarrassed expression.
His hair is gray and mixed, and not too much.
With a slight smile on his face, he stared at the opposite side, but the opposite side was empty.
Behind him, three people stood.
The three people were wearing three-color clothes.
One is dressed in red, one is dressed in black, and the other is dressed in light green.
Among them was a man dressed in black, with a knife hanging on his waist.
The knife was not very conspicuous. It had a dark wooden scabbard and a black handle. If there was anything special about it, it was that there was a skull engraved on the end of the handle.
At this moment, the old drunkard's hand was already grasping the scabbard.
Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly widened:
"Don't touch!!"
His voice was like thunder, and with a sudden vibration, all the doors and windows around him were blown open by his internal force.
However, the old drunkard's fingers were already firmly grasped, and while his figure was floating, he returned to sit opposite the man in linen clothes.
He held the knife in front of him, and then turned back to look at Jiang Ran.
Somewhat surprised:
"How did you come?"
As he spoke, he pressed the handle of the knife and drew it out.
With a cry, the black blade appeared in front of everyone.
Jiang Ran felt that his blood was running cold, but when he looked again, he found that nothing seemed to have happened to the old drunkard.
I couldn't help but be stunned...
Could it be that the owner of Zuodaozhuang triggered what they did on the knife first?
So, the trap damage is no longer on this knife?
Or is it that the old drunkard's internal strength is too strong and the methods on this knife cannot hurt him?
While the thoughts in his mind were spinning, Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai were already on either side of Jiang Ran behind him.
The old drunkard raised his eyebrows:
"Come no matter what..."
When he finished speaking, he suddenly paused.
Jiang Ran's expression suddenly changed, and he saw a flash of blood suddenly appear in the old drunkard's eyes.
And at this moment, the old drunkard waved his hand and threw the knife in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood spurted out!
His originally rosy face turned pale as paper for a moment. Fortunately, the blood in his eyes had faded. He turned around with difficulty and looked at the man in linen clothes:
"Could it be...that this is the [Five Desires Soul Chasing Order]?
"In the past...Jiang Tianye clearly said in the past that this method was unknown...and ordered it to be recovered and destroyed.
"I didn't expect that he would actually do it in disguise?"
Having said this, he put his hands on the table and stood up suddenly.
With a buzzing sound, endless sword light flew out from behind.
The three people standing behind the man in linen stretched out a palm at the same time and landed on the person in linen's back.
The man in linen chuckled lightly, raised his palms, and a layer of aura suddenly enveloped the three of them.
Buzz buzz!!!
The sword awns emerged one after another, with endless fierceness, condensing the inner strength of the four great masters in the sky, and almost in the blink of an eye, they were already on the verge of collapse.
Four of them even had blood coming from the corners of their mouths.
Just one more breath, just one breath, and these four people would be killed on the spot.
But at this moment, the old drunkard suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood.
The sword energy could no longer be sustained. He raised his head and fell down. However, he fell into someone's arms. When he looked up, the old drunkard said in confusion:
"...Aren't you in Liuyuan? Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"nonsense!"
Jiang Ran shouted angrily:
"Didn't I tell you not to touch it?
"You can obviously kill all four of them, why are you pretending to be okay?
“Wouldn’t it be better to beat these four people to death first and then talk about it?
"Besides, did Ah Hua kick your brain?
"The sword suddenly appeared on them after so many years of absence...how dare you go and get it?
"You still say every day that you are a veteran of the Jianghu, and that you are proficient in deception and abduction... I think you are so proficient in everything!"
He was really anxious. The old drunkard vomited these two mouthfuls of blood and made his heart beat fast.
I no longer care about anything else, I just want to scold him severely so that he will remember it.
Keep a long memory...at least you won't make such a mistake again in the future.
In this way, there will be no death in the future, right?
Jiang Ran felt that his hands were shaking a little.
He grabbed the old drunkard's wrist and checked his meridians.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, then turned livid, and he suddenly looked at the four people opposite:
"Kill them!!"
However, these four people did not stop for a moment, and flew out of the window in a flash.
Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai immediately took a step forward and wanted to chase them out.
"No need to chase..."
The old drunkard suddenly spoke up, and Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai looked at him in astonishment.
The old drunkard glanced at Jiang Ran and laughed:
"You bastard... how do you talk to... how do you talk to your master?
"Cough cough cough... I'm careless.
"Qi Tianyue...it is indeed Qi Tianyue.
"Never confront people... face to face...
"That's not Qi Tianyue.
"It's a stand-in, a perfect stand-in, I didn't even recognize it... But, if it's the real Qi Tianyue.
"With my internal strength just now, I don't need four people to join forces, and I won't hurt him that badly.
"There is no point in killing such a person...and that...and that sect leader is just a chicken and a dog, a person who sells his head by inserting bids.
"You can kill...at any time."
When he said this, he glanced at Jiang Ran, saw his eyes were red, and laughed again:
"You're such an old man, don't cry. You'll make a fool of yourself.
"Don't worry... I'm a teacher, I'm a teacher and I can't die...
"The Order of Five Desires Chasing Souls... Hey, the Order of Five Desires Chasing Souls...
"I didn't expect that in this life, I would fall into the hands of your father."
"??"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"What do you mean?"
"Poetry..."
The old drunkard suddenly looked at Tang Shiqing.
"Uncle Duan."
Tang Shiqing also came to the old drunkard.
"You...you came here together...have your knots been resolved?"
The old drunkard looked at Tang Shiqing.
Tang Shiqing glanced at Jiang Ran and nodded lightly.
"That's good……"
The old drunkard let out a sigh of relief:
"This, this is not the place to talk, let's, let's go back...
"Qi Tianyue succeeded in his plan today. This person's plans are always closely linked... The back-up plan will be here soon. We don't have much time...
"Ran'er, first... take me back first."
"good……"
Jiang Ran had inherent doubts in his heart, so he could only listen to his words at this time.
He stood up and carried him behind him, and the group of people flew out of the sky building confidently.
But within a short time, he had returned to Yuan Tang's residence.
In the current situation, there is no reason to go to the old drunkard's small yard.
It's better to come here, there are many people at your disposal, so it's easier to take care of you.
The rooms were all ready-made. Mr. Tang chose one at random. After entering, Jiang Ran put the old drunkard on the bed.
The old drunkard sat cross-legged:
"You guys, just protect me outside the door."
When he said this, he closed his eyes tightly and began to regulate his breath and internal energy.
Jiang Ran and the other three had no choice but to go out and close the door.
Seeing Jiang Ran frowning slightly, Tang Shiqing comforted her softly:
"Don't worry too much, Uncle Duan has unparalleled martial arts skills and profound internal strength.
"The crisis will definitely be turned around."
Jiang Ran glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then let out a long breath.
Said softly:
"You're right, look at his posture... Although the Five Desires Chasing Soul Order is not trivial, it can't kill him."
He paused for a moment before speaking and looked at Mr. Tang:
"Senior, my master just said, did this life fall into the hands of my father?
"What do you mean?"
Tang Yuanwai was a little confused when he heard the words, hesitated and said:
"Actually...actually the Five Desires Soul Chasing Order was...created by the previous generation of Demon Lord."
"..."
Jiang Ran's face suddenly turned dark.
Although Jiang Ran had already made some guesses after hearing the old drunkard's words before.
Now when I hear it from Tang Yuanwai's own words, I still feel very unhappy.
I thought in my heart that Jiang Tianye was indeed the Demon King...the methods he created were cruel and poisonous enough.
Tang Yuan laughed dryly:
"Young Master doesn't know something...
"I don't know why the Demon Lord created this method. I only know that after this method was created, it was stolen.
"The First Demon Lord feels that this method is not good, and the person who uses it is afraid that it will not end well.
"Therefore, I ordered people to recover this method and destroy it on the spot.
"At that time, news also came back that this method had been recovered, but it had been destroyed according to the order of the Demon Lord, and no copy existed.
"But I didn't expect that at that time, the man was doing it in a positive and negative way, but this method still exists in the world."
Juniors like Tang Shiqing and Tang Huayi don't know much about these things.
The education they received since childhood was very complicated, with some from the devil's religion and some from the righteous path. However, this kind of method has been created and destroyed. Some people will tell them about it as a trivial matter when they have nothing to do, but they don't.
If you take things too seriously and are picky, you will inevitably make omissions.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, feeling that Tang Yuan's knowledge was probably quite limited.
He did not continue to ask, but looked at the door and said softly:
"It doesn't actually matter who created the Five Desires Soul-Chasing Order.
"The important thing is that although the old drunkard cannot die, it is not that easy to recover as before.
"Qi Tianyue will never give him such time..."
Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai nodded at the same time.
The old drunkard also said just now that Qi Tianyue's setup has always been one step at a time. Now that a close friend has been seriously injured, the next step will probably follow soon.
This time, Qi Tianyue will definitely make a heavy move.
As long as all the forces in Jinyang Mansion that can resist are destroyed.
When the time comes, the Qing State army marches south, and Jinyang Mansion is within their grasp.
"Do not worry."
Tang Shiqing gently took Jiang Ran's hand:
"Although Uncle Duan is injured, we are still there."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"As long as he doesn't die, that's better than anything else.
"As for Qi Tianyue's method... As the saying goes, if something happens, the disciple will obey him.
"Since I am, I will follow.
"It would be best for him to come to me in person and see if I can take off his head."
When he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned:
"who?"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
A long laugh sounded, the voice was erratic, and it was hard to find in a trance:
"I heard that Duan Dongliu was seriously injured, this is simply a strange news in the world!
"I came here specifically to investigate, but I didn't expect that the news was true!
“It really couldn’t be better.
"You're such a brat, you're so brazen, and you said that you're going to take over... Qi Tianyue's method.
"It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"Boy, are you Jiang Ran?
"The famous shocking sword in the world?
"Did you know that...this world is vast and filled with experts?
"Just how many swordsmanship have you learned from your master?"
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this:
"You talk too much."
"kindness?"
As soon as he said a word, the man suddenly exclaimed, and a figure suddenly rolled out from the corridor on the left.
His body writhed on the ground, and after tossing and turning twice, he finally stood still.
I looked around blankly, feeling horrified and unspeakable.
Looking up, his eyes fell on Tang Shiqing.
When their eyes met, the man seemed to be nailed to the spot with nails.
Can't move anymore.
"You do talk too much."
Tang Shiqing spoke softly:
“I am not very good at recognizing people, but I can spy on anyone who is afraid of me.
"The moment you feel fear...
"Your life no longer belongs to you."
When Jiang Ran heard this, he suddenly understood Tang Shiqing's martial arts.
No wonder everyone around her seemed extremely scared when she appeared.
This kind of fear will make the hidden person invisible to her.
And this is also a kind of martial arts.
The martial arts of the Demon Cult...
But Jiang Ran mainly practiced the Good Fortune Sutra, and this kind of martial arts meant nothing to Jiang Ran.
That's why Tang Shiqing was so surprised when Jiang Ran appeared under the Liuyuan.
She discovered Tang Huayi, discovered Ye Jingxue, and also discovered Ling Buyi.
Only Jiang Ran was not found.
At this moment, Jiang Ran didn't know who the visitor was, but when he became afraid because of Tang Shiqing's martial arts.
His death day has quietly arrived.
This person looked at Tang Shiqing with a face full of resistance, but he couldn't help but turn his head.
It was as if there were thousands of hands grabbing his chin and head, and then forcefully...
There was a click!
The whole head turned three times on the neck.
This unknown master died on the spot.
At this time, Tang Shiqing was at least two feet away from him, and her hand was still in Jiang Ran's, soft and delicate, without any sharpness.
Jiang Ran looked at her, and Tang Shiqing smiled back at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran also laughed.
Then he thought that maybe it was not just fear.
Her martial arts should be more bizarre and fierce than this.
Because, the greatest sorrow of all time can use pain to break into the inner strength... and make the inner strength deeper and deeper.
As the first person in history to successfully practice this martial art.
The inner strength of Tang poetry must be extremely profound, and it must have harvests unknown to others.
Even...even myself is the beneficiary of this harvest.
But at this moment, the sound of clothes breaking in the wind suddenly faded away.
Tang Shiqing suddenly raised her head:
"There is another one, I'm going to kill him."
"Let him go."
Jiang Ran breathed out lightly:
"This should just be the beginning."
Tang Yuanwai nodded slightly:
"There should be more and more people coming in the future."
As soon as I finished saying this, I heard the voice of an old drunkard coming from the door:
