After eliminating the hidden dangers, the Tan family and the Ouyang family dispersed one after another. Ouyang Huanxi stayed where he was, waiting for Liu Baiyuan and the others to return.
Not long after, Elder Lu and Liu Baiyuan rushed back, but their hands were empty.
"That man escaped." Elder Lu said.
Ouyang Huanxi frowned. Elder Lu was a master of the Xiaocheng realm, but he couldn't catch a seriously injured knight entering the house. It was hard not to doubt whether the other party did it on purpose.
However, before Ouyang Huanxi could speak, Liu Baiyuan said:
"Don't worry, that person was seriously injured, and with the continuous use of blood escape, it will be impossible to recover in less than half a month."
Ouyang Huanxi frowned and looked at Liu Baiyuan, then suddenly his brows relaxed, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'd rather trouble you two to help my Ouyang family to find a thief."
"What are you talking about, Elder Ouyang? I am the elder of Luo Yunzong and should help each other." Liu Baiyuan replied with a smile.
"Haha, Elder Ouyang is injured. It's better to go back to heal first. Elder Liu and I won't be able to accompany him any longer. Elder Liu, let's go."
Liu Baiyuan's smile froze and he could only say goodbye and leave.
After the two left, Ouyang Huanxi's eyes instantly turned cold, he snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.
…………
In a courtyard, there was only a woman in green clothes with her hair disheveled. The woman had a very handsome face and a bit of heroism. She was reading a book under the candlelight. Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a
A man with a blackened chest broke in.
The woman was obviously stunned.
"I'll let you stay at your house for a night."
After saying that, Lin Fenghuo jumped up to the beam, lay down directly on it and fell asleep. In less than ten breaths, snoring could be heard in the room.
The woman looked up at the figure on the beam, shook her head, said nothing, and continued to read the book with her head down.
Early the next morning, Lin Fenghuo woke up leisurely. He touched the scab on his chest. He was almost penetrated through the heart in the battle last night. Although he was lucky enough to survive, due to excessive use of blood escape, there was insufficient blood and essence in his body. He could now exert his full strength.
The strength is not even 10%.
Lin Fenghuo took a deep breath and fell from the beam. The room was empty, and the woman who had been studying under the candlelight last night was nowhere to be found.
There are rows of bookshelves in the house. The bookshelves are full of various classics, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and some official and unofficial histories. What the woman was reading last night was a piece of unofficial history.
Originally, Lin Fenghuo didn't care much until he saw the words "former Yunxiao General Lin Hengshan" mentioned in the unofficial history.
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked and the woman came back.
Lin Fenghuo's eyes narrowed, and regardless of his injuries, "Green Fire" was unsheathed. The moment the woman opened the door, he directly pressed the tip of the knife to half an inch of the woman's throat.
"who are you?!"
The woman in green smiled slightly and replied: "As long as you know that we are not enemies."
As she said that, she gently pushed away the tip of Lin Fenghuo's knife, and then said: "If I wanted to target you, I could have reported you to the Tan family and Ouyang family last night. Many court officials were assassinated, and the last time they were executed was Ling Chi.
"
Lin Fenghuo slowly retracted the green fire knife and inserted it into the scabbard.
"I can believe you, but you have to tell me first, who are you?!"
"It's too early now, you will know later."
The woman in Tsing Yi put down a package filled with pastries and slowly walked out of the room, disappearing without a trace.
Lin Fenghuo stared at the cake for a moment, and finally picked up a piece and swallowed it. He must recover his cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely die. Replenishing physical strength is the most direct and effective way in the absence of elixirs.
.
…………
On the third night, several figures on the roof passed by in the air. Lin Fenghuo squatted on the beam, his right hand pressed against the handle of the knife, and his nerves were always tense.
Since the woman in Tsing Yi left those pastries a few days ago, she has not appeared again, leaving Lin Fenghuo alone here.
In the past few days, people from the Tan family and Ouyang family have been searching for his whereabouts, from day to night.
Lin Fenghuo tried to escape several times, but he saw the army of the City Lord's Mansion before he even left the house, and was even almost discovered by them several times.
"Lord City Lord, we have searched the area and found no trace of the man in black."
The Lord of Yunxi City frowned slightly. According to what Elder Lu said, the man in black should not have left the city yet.
"Search house to house, don't miss any corner, and be sure to find him before he recovers."
After saying this, several people left the place.
Lin Fenghuo took a deep breath, took out a dark red pill and put it in his mouth.
After a short time, the pill quietly dissolved, and the rich blood-evil aura quickly spread in Lin Fenghuo's body.
Lin Fenghuo immediately started to use the technique, and a long black line from the fourteen meridians penetrated to the Dantian, wildly devouring the blood evil energy. Lin Fenghuo immediately sat in meditation and began to meditate.
After a long time, the blood evil spirit was completely refined by him.
Lin Fenghuo exhaled a long breath of turbid air. When he opened his eyes, his pupils were densely covered with bloodshot eyes. The black pupils even turned dark red, and his body was covered with black veins. He looked very strange.
These are relatively crude blood evil pills with very serious side effects. He would never want to use these pills unless he had no choice.
At this time, another group of people landed on the roof, and dense footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.
With a "bang", the courtyard door was kicked open, and a dozen warriors broke into the house instantly.
The room was dark, and everyone was lighting up torches, but there was no one there except the bookshelves that filled the room.
After everyone searched, the bookshelf and bedding were scattered all over the floor.
The leader said: "There is no one here, let's go to the next place!"
A group of warriors filed out and walked to the nearby courtyard.
No one noticed that a palm-sized stone was kicked away.
The stone flashed away like a flash of blue light, then fell silent.
…………
Lin Fenghuo leaned against the wooden beam with one hand, huddled in a corner of the room, and blocked his view with a wooden board to avoid detection.
The sound gradually faded away, Lin Fenghuo put down the wooden board and gently fell from the wooden beam.
At this time, Lin Fenghuo's stomach suddenly growled. It must have been that he had consumed too much energy when refining the Blood Evil Pill.
Lin Fenghuo took out some pastries from his body and started eating them.
…………
Liu Baiyuan and Elder Lu shuttled around on the roof as usual, releasing their souls while exploring everything around them.
Elder Lu's soul was even more powerful. When passing by an attic, he suddenly sensed that something disappeared on the side.
"There is an incident on the right." After Elder Lu sent word to Liu Baiyuan, the two of them immediately set off, and then they discovered that not long after the people from the City Lord's Mansion left, there was a figure in the room. ()
