Three days later, the sky was overcast, with a few muffled thunders rolling over the clouds, accompanied by a drizzle of light rain that kept falling.
Outside Xianlai City, there were very few pedestrians on the official road splashed with mud and water. The few people who passed by were in a hurry and did not have any extra thoughts. Suddenly, from behind a large leafy tree beside the official road,
A tall man in black walked out quietly holding a rare silver-white umbrella in one hand.
The man's steps were calm and leisurely, without any sign of hurry. The silver umbrella in his hand was tilted forward by half, completely blocking his entire appearance, making it impossible for people to peek from the front. However, the palm of the hand holding the umbrella had dark skin and long, rough fingers.
, which seems to be incompatible with the gorgeousness and fineness of the silver umbrella. Not only that, if someone pays close attention, they can see that the pair of gray boots worn by this man are as clean as new without any dirt on them. Even if there is muddy water splashing on them while walking,
Even if they go up, they will slide down to the ground very quickly, or they will be thrown away when they lift their feet in the next step.
A little while later, the man came to the gate of Xianlai City in a hurry. Here, there were dozens of guards wearing raincoats standing on both sides. But now, almost everyone's eyes were attracted by the man's arrival.
Attracted, more precisely, attracted by the silver umbrella in his hand, surprised, dumbfounded, and even a little bit secretly greedy.
Without waiting for the leader to give instructions, a guard stepped forward and stopped the person. After a few brief interrogations, he was released.
"How's it going? Did you ask clearly?"
"Reporting to your lord, the man claimed to be a craftsman who came from Greenstone City to visit relatives and friends, but judging from his stature and the shape of his hands, I think he must be a practitioner with some skills. So...
." The guard replied respectfully.
"Oh, that's it. How could anyone come to Greenstone City now? But I heard that a thief broke into the house of the fifth son of the Li family recently, and a treasure was lost." The guard leader narrowed his eyes, and then spoke slowly.
Earthly said.
The subordinate was startled for a moment, then realized, "Your Majesty is right, I will do it now." After saying that, he ran away in a hurry. Behind him, the leader's mouth curled up with a proud smile.
angle.
On the other side, the man in black holding a silver umbrella only walked through two blocks, then changed direction and turned into a small restaurant nearby. At the door, the silver umbrella closed lightly, revealing a pale face behind him.
Tong, with the cold eyebrows and slightly twisted face, is Sun Huo who came to look for him.
I saw him holding the umbrella with one hand and flicking it twice, and drops of water fell to the ground. Then the whole umbrella was as clean as new without any raindrops. After looking down at it, Sun Huo started to walk inside.
This scene stunned the boy who was waiting at the door. It took him a while to come to his senses and follow him, shouting.
After a while, Sun Huo sat alone at the table, looking at three or four side dishes absent-mindedly for a long time before moving his chopsticks, as if he didn't know what to eat.
Originally, the imperial weapon took a straight line from the sky and rushed at full speed, which took most of the day. However, he never expected that the fear brought about by looking at Xiao Yue was so deep in his heart that it would always appear in front of his eyes from time to time.
That scene happened. For this reason, he had to stop and find a secret place for a small retreat. But even if he did this, he still could not completely eliminate it.
What worries him right now is not only that he didn't expect the situation today when he made the original appointment, so he didn't leave Xiao Feng's address and needs to inquire again, but what's even more troublesome is that he doesn't know how to face him and speak to him. But such troubled alone time did not last long. Suddenly, a sound of rapid horse hooves and noisy footsteps came from far and near on the street. Immediately, a group of servants and officers and soldiers looked like wolves and tigers.
So this place was surrounded.
In the small restaurant, the few guests had never seen such a battle, and they immediately ran away with their heads in their hands. Even the shopkeeper and waiters hid aside, not caring about leaving anyone to pay the bill. At this moment, the only thing left was
Sun Huo, alone, turned a blind eye to everything around him. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the side dishes on the plate and started to use his chopsticks.
Soon, several seemingly skilled guards broke in with weapons and occupied the four corners of the surrounding area. They all stared at Sun Huo fiercely. Following closely behind him, a noble man wearing brocade clothes and silk.
A young man dressed as a son-in-law walked in with dignity.
His eyes were immediately attracted by the smooth and bright white silver umbrella that Sun Huo then placed on the table. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he reluctantly moved away and landed on the owner. At the same time,
Sun Huo finally raised his head with some feeling, and their eyes met.
"Huh?"
"It's you!"
Compared with Sun Huo's slight surprise, the young man was shocked, and his eyes showed a bit of malice.
Sun Huo didn't expect that he would meet Li Yuxing again today when they met by chance in Xilinqiu, and he would come straight towards him without any hesitation. This made him feel helpless because of the twists and turns of fate.
Feeling. Now that he knew where he came from, but things were different now, Sun Huo was even more lazy to talk to him. He lowered his head and picked up a chopstick to chew the food carefully.
It is true that he survived the "accident" that year, but he has become a laughing stock among the upper echelons of the family, and his status is far worse than before. Moreover, before Li Yuxing could organize people to hunt down the murderer, he obtained other members of the family from within the family.
He was actually a casual cultivator who hid his identity and wanted to seek refuge. Although he was very happy to hear that the final result was that he was rejected by his superior family, he could not take him down with his own hands and strip his skin and tendons to vent his feelings.
Hate, after all, is resentment that is difficult to calm down.
At this moment, Li Yuxing was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, and there was a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart. At the sudden confrontation, he had the intention to immediately order Sun Huo to be killed on the spot, but he was afraid of the rat. Even if he knew more about the cultivator=
For example, people like casual cultivators who can walk in the secular world are helpless and have low cultivation. They are not invincible like the secular people who spread rumors, but they are not sure whether they can succeed by relying on the strength of the crowd. But if you want to,
If he just retreats without doing anything, then his life will be completely over, and he will no longer have the dignity to have a foothold in Xianlai City.

At this urgent moment, Li Yuxing's eyes unconsciously glanced at Sun Huo's silver umbrella. In a flash of inspiration, he felt that he had grasped the key. So, he tentatively said:
"My friend is here to ask for a good deal, right? How about you give it to me and I will introduce it to you?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him who were ready to take action suddenly started to murmur in their hearts, because these words were completely different from the reason why they wanted to capture the Jiangyang thief before setting off. After hearing this, Sun Huo turned his head and glanced at his silver umbrella, and couldn't help but
Pouted.
"How dare you say this? Get out of here!" While speaking, Sun Huo waved his hand holding the chopsticks in the air twice, as if he was sending away a beggar.
As soon as he finished speaking, a rude man who was eager to take credit suddenly shouted, rushed up and slashed at Sun Huo's head with a simple knife. Because this man started it, other thoughtful people could not think of a move.
There was no choice but to wait and see what would happen, so we had to put aside our suspicions and attack together.
Seeing that a group of people were attacking him without any orders, and their moves were fierce and not aimed at capturing but only killing, Sun Huo's eyelids drooped slightly and he made up his mind.
Without turning his head, he quickly reached out with his right hand, and the two chopsticks immediately and accurately clamped the knife-wielding wrist of the man who was the first attacker on the right rear. Then he used the force at the same time, and the whole person flew away, becoming a blocker.
The human shield at the front.
At the same time, Sun Huo grabbed the silver umbrella on the table with his other hand and threw it over his shoulder. The umbrella opened instantly, covering the whole person. Not only that, the silver umbrella suddenly stretched back more than two feet and rushed forward.
Several people were caught off guard by the umbrella and were knocked backwards.
Soon, screams were heard one after another in the small restaurant.
With the final "bang" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the street was filled with people lying in various directions, either struggling to turn their bodies, or moaning in pain, all of which were taken from the restaurant.
Throw it out. And this process lasted less than half a cup of tea, which made the people watching from a distance dumbfounded and secretly exclaiming in disbelief.
"Look, it's the Immortal Master! It's the Immortal Master who is actually out!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person in the crowd shouted. After hearing this, everyone looked around and saw Cong Xihe.
In the south direction, two silhouettes flying with weapons appeared clearly, and they were rushing here very quickly.
The crowd watching from a distance suddenly dispersed in a panic like birds and animals, and the surrounding shops closed their doors as if a disaster was approaching. After a while, the whole street became as quiet as night.
The only sound left was the patter of rain, mixed with the unstoppable wailing.
