Xiao Yun speculated that the person who killed Yanhe might be Qianyu. Qianyu angrily greeted Xiao Yun's family in his heart. Xiao Yun's move was really insidious.
"He'er was killed by the stick method, and the Qiankun Stone was also stolen. Judging from the current situation, Qianyu is highly suspicious." Yanchi said in a deep voice.
"However, Qianyu is only at the early stage of Yuanyang Realm. Master Yan's strength far exceeds that of Qianyu. Qianyu alone cannot defeat Master Yan." Xiao Yun analyzed seriously.
Yanchi frowned even more tightly, "You mean...Qianyu didn't act alone, but someone was secretly assisting him?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yun responded, "Brother Yan, who do you think will help Qianyu in Liuyun City?"
"Qianyu is new here, and there are very few people who have close contact with him." Yanchi thought for a moment and immediately gave a guess, "City Lord's Mansion? Is the City Lord also involved in this matter?"
"It's possible." Xiao Yun nodded solemnly, "Qianyu is very close to the city lord's daughter Tan Xinmeng, and the city lord is famous for doting on his daughter. Perhaps Tan Xinmeng was worried about Qianyu's safety and asked the city lord for help."
"Impossible." Yanchi immediately rejected the idea, "Xin Meng has a very good relationship with He'er and will never help Qianyu attack He'er."
"Brother Yan, you know people but don't know their hearts. Before the matter is found out, you can't trust anyone."
"If it is true that the city lord is secretly assisting Qianyu as you said, then what is the city lord's purpose?" Yanchi asked.
"Qiankun Stone."
"If the city lord wants the Qiankun Stone, he has said so, why would he use such vicious means?"
"The person who wants the Universe Stone is Qianyu." Xiao Yun analyzed, "Qianyu has always wanted to get the Universe Stone. Otherwise, how could he, an outsider, participate in the carnival day competition? Everyone in Liuyun City knows that people kill people on the carnival day.
He could lose his life if he saw blood, but he participated enthusiastically because he must have come for the Qiankun Stone. After the duel with Yu An that day, he was in a coma for several days. Finally, he learned that the Qiankun Stone was in the hands of Young Master Yan.
Here, he started to think about robbing."
"Asshole!" Qianyu cursed in his heart. If he could, he would jump down and punch Xiao Yun.
"What Brother Xiao said is not unreasonable. It's just that the city lord assisted Qianyu. I always think it's unlikely..."
"Report!"
A patrolling Yanfu guard appeared at the door.
"Has the assassin been caught?" Yanchi asked anxiously.
"The assassin's body is strong and he comes and goes without a trace. We tried our best to pursue him, but in the end..."
"go on!"
"The assassin escaped into the city lord's palace, but we were stopped outside the palace by the city lord..."
"City Lord's Mansion? Are you serious?" Yanchi originally didn't believe that the City Lord assisted Qianyu, but now he somewhat believes it.
"We have seen it with our own eyes and it is absolutely true."
"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion!" Yanchi became more and more angry as he thought about it. He wanted to confront Tan Yi head-on!
"Brother Yan, I will go with you." Xiao Yun followed closely.
"What a ruthless plot. Not only did they blame me for killing Yanhe, but they also implicated the city lord. Xiao Yun's heart is too dark." Qianyu said with emotion.
"Hey, Xiao Yun is a hypocrite. He appears to be nice and kind on the surface, but secretly he is very scheming. This kind of person is the most despicable." The honest monk also hated Xiao Yun's actions. What he hated even more was that the Qiankun Stone was missing.
"Follow us and see what kind of medicine Xiao Yun is selling in the gourd." Qianyu and Laoshi Monk followed from a distance. Ten minutes later, Yanchi and Xiao Yun arrived at the city lord's mansion in a menacing manner.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was crowded with the guards of the Yan family. When they saw Yanchi, they took the initiative to make way. Tan Yi stood at the door. He looked tired. He obviously didn't sleep enough. He was woken up by a group of people in the middle of the night. He was very angry.
"Master, the city lord has been blocking us and not letting us in!" The guard complained to Yanchi. Yanchi nodded and walked straight to Tan Yi. Without any nonsense, he asked straight to the point: "City lord, at the third watch, there are assassins.
We raided Yan's house and brutally killed He'er. Then he fled in all directions, and our guards pursued him all the way. They found that the assassin had escaped into the city lord's palace, and I asked the city lord for his convenience."
"Brother Yan, I feel deeply saddened and regretful that Yan He was killed. It's just the third watch now, and everyone in my house is resting. If you lead hundreds of people into the house and conduct a large-scale search, wouldn't you disturb my house?
Let everyone rest?" After Tan Yi was woken up, his anger had not dissipated, and he was naturally rude when he spoke.
Before Yanchi could reply, Tan Yi continued: "What's even more outrageous is that your men said that the assassin was little friend Qianyu and was hiding in the city lord's mansion. I didn't let them in because I wanted to protect little friend Qianyu. It's really
What a joke! In the early hours of today, little friend Qianyu left the city lord’s mansion and there is no way he will come back! Besides, Yanhe’s strength far exceeds that of little friend Qianyu, how could little friend Qianyu kill Yanhe?”
After Yanchi listened, he felt that what Tan Yi said made sense and stopped replying. Xiao Yun asked: "The city lord said that Qianyu left the city lord's mansion in the early morning. Is there anyone who can confirm it?"
"Brother Xiao, what do you mean?" Tan Yi was a little unhappy, "Looking at what you mean, do you think I'm lying?"
"Absolutely not." Xiao Yun laughed dryly, "The city lord has always been aboveboard in doing things and kept his word. But the guards saw with their own eyes that the assassin's appearance and the weapons he used were exactly the same as Qianyu's, and the assassin did indeed escape.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s really hard to convince everyone just by the words of the City Lord.”
"City Lord, let's each take a step back. I will only bring thirty people into the City Lord's Mansion and search quietly, which will not affect everyone's repairs in the City Lord's Mansion. After the search is completed, if nothing is found, leave immediately, how about it?" Yanchi suggested.
"Haha, so you two have to go to the city lord's palace tonight?" Tan Yi suddenly laughed, and his laughter made people shudder.
"If the city lord insists on blocking it, we can only force our way in." Yanchi is eager to catch the assassin. Even if there is a conflict with the city lord, he will avenge Yanhe.
"Forcibly break into the city lord's palace? Brother Yan is so capable!" Tan Yi laughed even louder, "Those who trespass will be killed without mercy!"
"City Lord, I'm offended!"
"superior!"
Yanchi inspired the vitality in his body and started fighting with Tan Yi.
"Brother Yan, I will take people in to search!" Xiao Yun and the Yan family guards filed in and rushed into the city lord's mansion together.
"Damn it!" Tan Yi, who was fighting fiercely with Yanchi, gritted his teeth angrily and shouted: "Ten elders, stop them!"
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Ten old figures emerged from different directions in the City Lord's Mansion. These were the ten elders of the City Lord's Mansion. Each elder's cultivator was above Yuanyang Realm.
"Start a search!"
Xiao Yun shouted, and hundreds of people started a melee with the ten elders. However, he did not participate in the battle, and went straight into the city lord's palace and came to a remote courtyard.
"Look, what is Xiao Yu trying to do secretly?" Qian Yu had no time to participate in the battle, his attention was entirely on Xiao Yu.
"Follow us and have a look." Monk Lao Shi and Qian Yu sneaked over.
In the dark courtyard, someone lit an oil lamp and dispelled the darkness in the courtyard.
Xiao Yun glanced around cautiously and stepped into the courtyard after confirming that no one was around.
"Come out." Xiao Yun said to the empty courtyard.
As he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the darkness and slowly walked towards Xiao Yun. By the light of the fire, Qianyu recognized this person, who was the assassin of Yanfu!
"Master Xiao's plan of killing two birds with one stone is really brilliant." The man praised, his voice was a bit like a woman's voice, softer.
"Without your cooperation, no matter how wonderful my plan is, it will be useless." Xiao Yun smiled with satisfaction.
The man also smiled, and then he tore off a human skin mask on his face. Obviously, he was disguised as Qianyu's face, and this face was only 80% similar to Qianyu. However, in the night,
The person he was looking at was very vague to begin with. The guards saw the outline of his face, the weapons and moves he used, and basically determined his identity - Qianyu.
He has long hair, his face is as pale as paper, his appearance is feminine, and there is no trace of masculinity. He is much thinner than Qianyu, and he looks fragile.
"He is worthy of being one of the four great assassins. He can kill Yanhe and still escape unscathed. His method is very impressive." Xiao Yun praised silently.
"Everyone knows that I am a perverted assassin who eats people, but they don't know that my disguise skills are also extraordinary, and I have a strong ability to imitate. I can use the moves that others have used exactly once they have seen them.
." The man praised himself.
"The perverted man-eating assassin... could he be... Chuxue?" Qianyu thought.
"Chu Xue, one of the four assassins from the Tianyicheng Assassin Mansion, why did he come to Liuyun City?" The honest monk was very puzzled.
"Have you got the stuff?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Where is what I want?" Chuxue asked.
Xiao Yun took out a roll of skills from the mustard bag and said: "Intermediate level earth-level, is it more than enough to exchange for a Qiankun stone?"
"Deal." Chuxue smiled with satisfaction and handed the stolen Universe Stone to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun also handed the skill to Chuxue.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"If there is an opportunity in the future, we can continue to cooperate." Chuxue said happily after tasting the sweetness.
"There will be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future." Xiao Yun's face turned cold, and Chu Xue asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"Because..." Xiao Yun suddenly took action and slapped Chuxue on the chest, causing Chuxue to vomit blood and fall heavily to the ground.
"Xiao Yun, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yun walked closer to Chu Xue who was lying on the ground step by step, and said with a ferocious expression: "I'm sorry, the Qiankun Stone and the Earth-level mid-level skills are mine!"
"I can give you the Kung Fu!" Chuxue immediately handed the newly obtained Kung Fu to Xiao Yun. His strength was inferior to Xiao Yun and was no match for Xiao Yun, so he did not dare to make a mistake.
"Hmph, you know what's going on." After receiving the technique, Xiao Yun looked very proud, "Get out of here before I take action."
Chuxue left with an unhappy expression, thinking about how to take revenge.
Xiao Yun is not worried about Chuxue's revenge. As long as Chuxue dares to come, he will let Chuxue die without a burial place.
"Donor, it's time for us to take action!" When the honest monk saw the Qiankun Stone, his mind was completely focused on the Qiankun Stone. He grabbed Qianyu and jumped down from the dark place, appearing opposite Xiao Yun.
"Who are you?" Seeing the two men in black suddenly appearing, Xiao Yun immediately put the Qiankun Stone and the exercises into the mustard bag and shouted with a gloomy face.
"Xiao Yun, why did you set up a trap for me?" Qian Yu took off his mask and revealed his true face. Xiao Yun was shocked at first, then sneered: "You brat, I was planning to find you, but you came to my door yourself. God help me."
also!"
"Donor, give me both the skills and the Universe Stone. I can keep your whole body." The honest monk said calmly.
"It's so ridiculous that a monk dares to talk nonsense to me!" Xiao Yun had never fought with the honest monk, so he didn't know how powerful the honest monk was. He stretched out his sleeves and held a red sword in his hand.
"Monk looks at the knife!"
The crimson flame wrapped around the blade and slashed hard at Lao Shi Monk. Lao Shi Monk smiled, clasped his hands together, and stood motionless.
"clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the broadsword landed accurately on the bald head of the honest monk. The honest monk was unscathed, but cracks appeared on the broadsword.
Xiao Yun was taken aback and reacted very quickly. Knowing that the monk's cultivation was not simple, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, if you want the Universe Stone, I'll give it to you."
After saying that, Xiao Yun stood still with his knife put away, generously took out the Qiankun Stone, and handed it to Monk Lao Shi with a smile. Monk Lao Shi took the Qian Kun Stone, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was genuine, he said with a smile: "Thank you very much.
.”
"Fellow Taoist has extraordinary skills and extraordinary strength. He must be a hidden master. The Qiankun Stone is a life-extending magic weapon. It should be given to an expert like fellow Taoist to get value for money." Xiao Yun gave the honest monk a pause.
The honest monk was so proud that he couldn't stop laughing.
Xiao Yun's cultivation level is in the middle stage of Taiyi Realm, and Lao Shi Monk's cultivation level is in Tai Wu Realm, which is equivalent to the Divine Transformation Realm. Xiao Yun's strength is not comparable to Lao Shi Monk's, there is a huge difference. Just with the sword just now, Xiao Yun
He had already made a judgment in his heart that the honest monk was someone he could not afford to offend.
"Donor, although you said a lot of good things, I still can't let you go." The honest monk said with a smile after accepting the Qiankun Stone.
Xiao Yun's heart tightened and he said, "In that case, why bother talking so much."
"Red flame!"
In an instant, Xiao Yun's whole body was wrapped in layers of powerful flame energy. At the same time, he took out a long knife. On the long knife, the power of flames was burning, forming a fire dragon!
"Struggling to the death is not advisable." The honest monk's smile disappeared. After the words fell, he released the yuan space and included Xiao Yun.
Qianyu became an outsider.
"A fatal blow!"
After a while, the fire dragon took shape, measuring thousands of feet in size. If it exploded, it would probably destroy most of the city lord's palace.
"Buddhism is boundless!"
The honest monk made a move at will. After reciting a few words of Buddha's name, his whole body shone with golden light. A golden Buddha appeared in front of him. This Buddha was thousands of feet in size, and its momentum was not that of a fire dragon.
"Boom!"
The fire dragon roared in and collided with the golden Buddha. The golden Buddha burst out with light, directly destroying the fire dragon and eventually engulfing Xiao Yun.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Yun fell from the metaspace and turned into a corpse. The expression on his face still retained the shock before death. He thought that his plan to frame Qianyu was flawless. But he didn't expect that an honest monk would appear at the end.
, completely ending his plan.
"Monk Dead, I have to admit that you are quite capable." Qianyu said happily after seeing Xiao Yun's body.
"Donor, he still has this skill, please see if it works."
"I'll look for it." Qianyu took off Xiao Yun's mustard bag and rummaged through it. Sure enough, as the honest monk said, there was indeed a volume of exercises.
The name of the skill is Blood Demon Shield, which is a mid-grade earth-level weapon. It absorbs the flesh and blood of cultivators to strengthen the body's defense, forming a blood-colored shield.
"This technique is too evil and not suitable for me." Qianyu lost interest in the Blood Demon Shield after reading the introduction. "Earth-level mid-level techniques are very rare. It may be useful to keep them."
"I wonder what the fighting situation is like outside the mansion..." Qianyu wanted to go outside the mansion to see the situation. The honest monk got the Qiankun Stone and was in a good mood. He happily followed Qianyu outside the mansion.
The Yan family has dozens of times the number of people in the city lord's palace, but they don't have an advantage in the fight. The reason is that each of the ten elders in the city lord's palace is strong enough to fight ten, no matter how many guards there are in the Yan family
It was useless. After a fight, the guards of the Yan family suffered heavy casualties. Only two of the ten elders died, leaving eight.
In the battle between Tan Yi and Yanchi, the advantage was even more obvious.
Tan Yi, late stage of Taiyi Realm.
Rock pool, middle stage of Taiyi realm.
In the first round of the fight, Yanchi was at a disadvantage and could not fight back after being beaten. Tan Yi did not have any deep grudge against Yanchi. He struck more measuredly and did not hurt Yanchi, but only restrained him.
"Brother Yan, you are no match for me. There is no point in continuing the fight." Tan Yi did not want to get entangled with Yanchi, so Xiao Yun entered the house. He was worried that Xiao Yun would be detrimental to the people in the house.
The sound of fighting made everyone in the city lord's mansion unable to sleep and woke up one after another. Tan Xinmeng also woke up. Following the sound, he came outside the mansion and was very surprised to see Tan Yi and Yanchi fighting together.
"Dad, Uncle Yan, what are you doing?" Tan Xinmeng asked in confusion.
"Go back quickly, you have nothing to do here!" Tan Yi shouted sternly.
"Dad, what happened?"
"It's a long story. You go back and rest first. Dad will explain it to you later." Tan Yi said while shaking hands.
"How can I rest if you make such a big fuss?" Tan Xinmeng said dissatisfied.
Tan Yi was also helpless and wanted to resolve the battle quickly.
"Brother Yan, I'm sorry!" Tan Yi decided to take action.
"City Lord, wait!"
Qianyu and Honest Monk appeared outside the house, and everyone's eyes fell on them.
"Master?" Tan Xinmeng shouted excitedly, "Why are you back again?"
Qianyu glanced at Tan Xinmeng. He had no time to care about her now. He walked straight to Tan Yi and said, "City Lord, everything that happened tonight was Xiao Yun's conspiracy."
"How do you say this?" Tan Yi and Yanchi immediately stopped fighting and listened carefully to what Qianyu said.
"The Yan family is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter the Yan family, assassinate Yan He, and take away the Universe Stone. Therefore, Xiao Yun resorted to his first strategy, concealing the truth."
"Master Yan, Xiao Yun came to visit late at night. Did he bring a personal bodyguard with him?"
"How do you know?" Yanchi was very surprised. "Brother Xiao came to visit late at night, but what he said was irrelevant. Moreover, during our chat, the guard he brought said that he had three emergencies and left the room.
I don’t know where I’m going.”
"That guard is Chuxue pretending to be."
"Chu Xue? An assassin from Tianyicheng?" Yanchi was even more surprised, and Tan Yi also had a shocked expression on his face.
"Yanhe is very powerful, and ordinary people can't kill him. Chuxue can kill him, but it is very difficult to break into Yanfu. Therefore, he and Xiao Yun colluded with each other, pretending to be Xiao Yun's personal bodyguard, and he could do whatever he wanted
Entering and leaving Yanfu. Moreover, in the middle of the night, people's spirits are in a state of exhaustion, which is the best time for assassination."
Qianyu's words successfully explained Xiao Yun's behavior of visiting late at night, and every sentence made sense, making Yanchi convinced.
"But that assassin clearly looks like you, and the weapons and moves he uses are exactly the same as yours. How do you explain that?" Yanchi asked doubtfully.
"Chu Xue is good at disguise and imitation. In order to put the blame on me, he first disguised himself as me, and then used my tricks to deliberately impress the Yan family's guards, just to make the Yan family's guards believe
, he is Qianyu. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can find the flaw. In a battle between Xiao Yuan and I, both sides will suffer. Yanhe is stronger than Xiao Yuan. If I want to kill him, I will definitely pay a heavy price. How could it be possible?
After killing Yanhe, can he still escape to the city lord's palace alive and well?"
Yanchi thought it made sense and said, "I still don't know something."
"Speaking."
"Chu Xue and He'er have no grievances, so why did they collude with Xiao Yun to murder He'er?"
"For this." Qianyu took out the Blood Demon Shield from the mustard bag and motioned to everyone.
"This is a volume of earth-level mid-level skills that uses human blood to improve one's own defense. It is very suitable for Chuxue's practice. Xiao Yun used this as a bargaining chip to reach a deal with Chuxue. Chuxue was responsible for killing people and seizing stones, while Xiao Yun was responsible for communicating and misleading.
"
"How disgusting!" Yanchi clenched his fists and asked angrily: "Where is Xiao Yuren? I want to settle the score with him!"
"He is dead."
"Dead?" Yanchi said in disbelief, "Where is his body? I will chop his body into meat paste!"
Qianyu told Yanchi the location of Xiao Yun's body, and Yanchi immediately led the guards into the city lord's mansion to look for the body, and Tan Yi followed.
"Master, why are you back again?" Tan Xinmeng was only interested in Qianyu.
"Didn't you listen to what I just said?" Qianyu has already told what happened.
"Master, I was just looking at you and didn't listen to what you said at all." Tan Xinmeng answered truthfully.
Qianyu was speechless.
"Donor, this matter is over, it's time for us to leave." The honest monk reminded.
"Master, are you leaving again?"
"Um."
"Will you come back again?"
"Probably not."
"Oh." Tan Xinmeng lowered her head in disappointment. This time she did not cry, "Master, we will see you again when we are destined."
"See you later." Qianyu smiled and waved goodbye to Tan Xinmeng. Tan Xinmeng also smiled and waved, with reluctance hidden in her eyes.
After leaving the city lord's palace, Qianyu and the honest monk walked aimlessly on the street. The street was empty, every household had fallen asleep, and it was unusually quiet.
"Donor, what are your plans next?"
"Go to Tianyicheng."
"What to do in Tianyicheng?"
"The assassins from the Assassin's Mansion came to trouble me time and time again. If I didn't fight back, they would think I was easy to bully." Qianyu was very angry at the actions of the Assassin's Mansion.
“How does the donor plan to fight back?”
"Destroy the Assassin's Mansion."
"Haha, the donor is brave!" The honest monk found it funny, "Does the donor know who is behind the Assassin's Mansion?"
"No matter who it is, as long as it offends me, I will make it restless!"
"Donor, I heard that there are many beautiful strangers in Tianyicheng. I wonder what it will be like to combine with strangers..." The honest monk smiled evilly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's set off together!"
