These two figures are not from the Donghuang Temple, but Xia Qinghua's bodyguards.
At this time, their figures blended into the dark night, holding their breath and walking quickly between the buildings.
"Judging from the direction of these two people, they seem to be heading towards the residential area of the core disciples." Lin Xiao stared, then followed quietly.
At this time, the two people had already crossed the avenue, and further forward was the living area of the core disciples.
"The young master has just sent someone to confirm Yi Qiushui's identity. Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for us to arrest that boy right now?" One of the guards lowered his voice with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I've already investigated. The boy named Lin Xiao has only an early stage of the Golden Core Realm. His talent is mediocre, and his family background is also very ordinary." Another guard replied.
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the young master has said many times that Yi Qiushui is definitely a fake elder of the Han family. The reason why he left during the day was purely to give face to the Han family."
"But..." The guard was still a little worried.
Another guard smiled and said: "Don't worry, if the sky falls, the young master will hold it up. Besides, even if Yi Qiu Shui is the elder of the Han family, so what, the young master has completed the task assigned by the head of the family. Even if the Han family personally asks questions,
It’ll be okay.”
Hearing this, the guard felt relieved a little.
"We will take action tonight and capture Lin Xiao to the young master so that he can vent some of his anger. When we leave the Donghuang Temple, we will arrest Ning Qingwu. By then, we will definitely get the young master's reward."
After finishing speaking, the faces of the two guards burst out with a sense of expectation, and they couldn't help but speed up their steps.
Lin Xiao followed the two of them and heard all the conversations word for word.
"This Xia Qinghua has a really violent temperament and can't bear it even for a moment. But just in time, I can use this trick to find out the origin of the gray-black jade beads!"
In just a moment, a careful plan had taken shape in Lin Xiao's mind.
Then, Lin Xiao pushed his speed to the extreme, surpassed the two Xia family guards, and returned to the courtyard first.
After returning to the courtyard, he immediately called Yi Qiushui and Ning Qingwu without disturbing anyone.
The conversation ended quickly.
After the two quietly left the courtyard, Lin Xiao sat down cross-legged and waited quietly as if nothing had happened.
Swish! Swish!
Not long after, two Xia family guards arrived.
As soon as they landed, the two of them took action at the same time, and the power of the thunderstorm turned into chains, binding Lin Xiao heavily.
Lin Xiao did not resist, and pretended to be frightened in his eyes, which caused the two guards to laugh triumphantly.
Next, the two guards took Lin Xiao to the deepest part of the Donghuang Temple.
This is a solitary peak with no human habitation and seems particularly secluded.
On the mountainside, a courtyard stood there. Before it fell, Lin Xiao could feel Xia Qinghua's violent aura.
"The surrounding area is quiet and shadowless. There is also an isolation formation in the courtyard. No wonder these two people said that Xia Qinghua can vent his anger." Lin Xiao exuded spiritual consciousness and instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
In his heart, he was extremely satisfied with this place, which just happened to avoid Huo Chunqiu's eyes and ears.
Not long after, the two of them fell down, stepped into the courtyard, and went straight to a secret practice room.
In the secret room, Xia Qinghua has been waiting for a long time.
He was seen sitting on a wooden chair. Directly in front of him were two wooden tables, filled with various torture instruments, some of which were stained with blood.
The two guards tied up Lin Xiao, retreated, and stood respectfully behind Xia Qinghua.
Except for these three people, the other four Xia family guards did not appear. Lin Xiao's consciousness did not find any trace of them. They seemed not to be in the courtyard.
Swish!
At this time, Xia Qinghua stood up.
He looked down at Lin Xiao and sneered: "I thought you would be scared to death, but I didn't expect you to be so calm. Or maybe you knew you were going to die and simply gave up resistance?"
As he spoke, Xia Qinghua stood in front of Lin Xiao, his voice as cold as frost: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. There are 108 kinds of torture instruments here. After you try them all, I will consider how to do it."
Kill you."
"An additional reminder, this courtyard has been completely isolated by the elemental formation. No matter how much you scream, others will not notice it, let alone expect Yi Qiushui to come to save you."
Xia Qinghua burst into laughter. He glanced down and saw that Lin Xiao was still expressionless. He suddenly felt frustrated and shouted: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Your severed right arm should be related to Ning Qingwu, right?" Lin Xiao didn't answer, but asked.
Xia Qinghua's expression was startled, and she said: "Years ago, I tried to get involved in Ning Qingwu's innocence, but Ning Que discovered me and had my arm cut off on the spot."
"Ning Que?" Lin Xiao murmured lightly.
"The most talented person in Tianluo County will be given the title of genius. Ning Que is Ning Qingwu's brother and one of the eight geniuses. However, since the destruction of the Ning family, he has never been seen again.
Traces.”
Xia Qinghua did not look at Lin Xiao, but turned around to select the torture tools and said calmly: "After my right arm was cut off, I wanted revenge all the time. Now, I haven't found Ning Que yet, so I can only use you and Ning Qingwu.
Come vent your anger."
Clang!
Xia Qinghua pulled out a torture knife, and the expression on his face gradually became ferocious: "Tell me, left hand or right hand, choose one."
"I choose... to take your life!" Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly turned cold, he opened his hands, and the raging demonic flames burned away the chains, heading straight for Xia Qinghua.
"court death!"
At the same time, the two guards reacted quickly.
The two men stepped forward, one to protect Xia Qinghua, the other pulled out a long knife and was about to cut off Lin Xiao's head.
"Keep him alive, I haven't started torturing him yet!" Xia Qinghua had just recovered from the shock and hurriedly reminded him.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's face became even colder, and the demonic flames rolled. Not only did he not retreat, he also took the initiative to meet the guard's long sword, burning all the sword light.
"What kind of flame is this?" The guard's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react, a star-cutting sword light mixed with demonic flames had already fallen down and pierced his chest.
Poof!
When the sword light comes into contact with the power of thunder, it blooms instantly, tearing flesh and blood, and easily piercing the heart.
In an instant, the guard's body was enveloped in dark demonic flames, and he fell to the side, making no sound.
"This, how is this possible?"
Xia Qinghua and another guard were so frightened by this scene that their eyes glazed over and their faces trembled crazily.
The guard's cultivation had reached the early stage of physical difficulty, and he had cultivated it in a down-to-earth manner, rather than a dabbler like Xia Qinghua who was only interested in elixirs.
However, when he faced Lin Xiao, he was killed on the spot with just one sword strike!
