The person who came was none other than another Shadow Shaman—Zhao Shitou!
As soon as he entered this humble abode, he grabbed the dagger from Zhao Sanmei's hand as quickly as possible.
"How did you know I was here?"
Zhao Sanmei was puzzled, and there was unwillingness in her eyes. After all, something she wanted to do had just been stopped!
Looking at her, Zhao Shitou said: "Do you think I don't know that you have had this idea for a long time? You want to die, and then use this to send a message to inform the young master of the Xuanjian Sect's crisis!"
I see……
Not long ago, Kong Mingzi whispered to herself, saying that facing this crisis, it would be too late, unless Nie Heng or Nie Heng's master could come back in time!
Of course, Kong Mingzi himself didn’t believe that Nie Heng really had any master, because he had long been sure that this Nie Heng was the Nie Heng that his grandmother often mentioned!
But no matter what, his soliloquy was still heard by two people at that time!
These two people are Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou!
It was because of hearing Kong Mingzi's words that Zhao Sanmei thought of using her own death to gain Nie Heng's knowledge of this crisis.
What's the result?
In fact, after Zhao Shitou heard Kong Mingzi's words, he immediately decided to give up his life. However, later he discovered that Zhao Sanmei seemed to have such thoughts, so he did not immediately hide aside and commit suicide, but first
Secretly following Zhao Sanmei who left quietly...
…
It's not a humble house, it's just very simple, with just a table, a chair and a small bed!
Standing in the room, Zhao Shitou held the dagger in his hand and smiled calmly.
"Our essence and blood with soul breath were melted into the Soul Gathering Bell. Later, the young sect master also melted a drop of his own essence and blood into it, so there are mysterious souls between us and between us and the young sect master.
induction!"
"It's a pity... We can only confirm that the young sect master is still alive, but we can't sense each other. We don't know where the young sect master is and what he is doing..."
"In other words, the Young Sect Master is just like us. He should only be able to sense our life and death now, but he doesn't know what we are doing or what we are facing!"
"In that case, what if one of us dies?"
As he spoke slowly one sentence after another, Zhao Shitou's smile gradually disappeared, and in the end only perseverance and anger remained: "When the time comes...he will definitely do his best to come back, and he will definitely come back to avenge the dead disciples!"
After hearing these words, Zhao Sanmei took a deep breath and slowly lowered her head: "Brother Shitou, then why are you trying to stop me?"
Without hesitation, Zhao Shitou said directly: "Because it shouldn't be you!"
Hearing this, Zhao Sanmei suddenly raised her head with doubts in her eyes.
Looking into her eyes, Zhao Shitou said seriously: "You are the one who has suffered the most among us, so it shouldn't be you this time!"
He is right!
In the earliest Thirteen Shadows, Zhao Sanmei was the one who suffered the most.
She had been bullied and bullied countless times by other disciples, and suppressed and humiliated by the Xiang family countless times. The suffering she suffered was more than just physical injuries?
But every time other Shadow Shas noticed it and tried to help Zhao Sanmei, Zhao Sanmei would secretly decline and stop them.
Because she doesn't want to expose everyone's and her own identity as a shadow warrior, and hopes that everyone and herself can become the strongest trump card in Nie Tianyang's hand...
"You have suffered enough in those years!"
Smiling, Zhao Shitou stretched out a hand, gently placed it on Zhao Sanmei's shoulder, and said: "This time, I will do it!"
As soon as the words fell, a cold light suddenly flashed!
"No……"
Upon noticing the change, Zhao Sanmei immediately exclaimed.
She knew what Zhao Shitou was doing. She knew that Zhao Shitou wanted to exchange his own death for the hope of Xuanjian Sect!
But just after the cold light flashed, there was no blood scattered on Zhao Shitou's body, and there was actually one more person in the humble abode - Nie Ling!
Nie Ling's strength was not comparable to that of Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou, so even though she was here, she still had to pay a price if she wanted to stop Zhao Shitou from killing himself.
Nie Ling was now standing next to Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou. She stretched out one hand and grasped the tip of a dagger. A trickle of blood was flowing down her jade wrist and the cold sword body.
"None of you have to do this!"
Nie Ling spoke and smiled: "It's really not necessary!"
Seeing this, Zhao Sanmei looked uneasy and remorseful. She quickly grabbed the dagger and threw it aside, and then began to look for something to bandage.
Zhao Shitou also had a look of uneasiness and fear on his face and said: "Sect Master Nie Ling, why do you have to...hey..."
Sighing helplessly, he thought quickly again before he thought of what he should say.
"We should have died more than twenty years ago, like everyone else, in the ruins of the village! It was the sect master who saved us, gave us hope, and gave us the home of Xuanjian Sect! What about now?
…”
Before he could finish, Zhao Sanmei said anxiously: "Now that the sect master is in trouble and our homeland is in trouble, can we just watch and do nothing?"
Watching helplessly...
Nie Ling slowly closed her eyes.
But even if she closed her eyes, she could still see the tragedy outside Xuanjian Sect!
The Shrouded Master and the Inch Blood Master have been surrounded by the warriors from the Central Guard Hall. They are covered in blood and have no way to escape. The battle scene is full of dangers.
Li Chenghui was also forced into a desperate situation, and the sword in his hand was cut off. He is now scarred...
There are also the more than a thousand disciples of Jianzitang. They can't use the "Destroying Character" because they didn't bring the thirty-nine powerful crossbow when they went out!
What's more, they have all been enveloped by the "Jiangnan Misty Rain" before, turning them into lambs at the mercy of others!
then……
They are all dead!
After seeing all this, Nie Ling closed her eyes but still burst into tears.
When she opened her eyes again, there was not much sadness in them, only a perseverance: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Nie Heng came back in a hurry without taking his master with him?
"
With just one sentence, Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou opened their eyes in shock at the same time.
This shock was accompanied by an uncontrollable fear: yes, if someone among them had really died just now, Nie Heng would have sensed it, and then he would have rushed back at all costs.
But what if Nie Heng comes back alone?
Even if he is a monster, if he has to face so many powerful men from the World Guard, especially the Central Guard Hall, at the same time, does he have any chance of winning?
No, absolutely not!
Moreover, once Nie Heng comes back alone, he will definitely live and die with the Xuanjian Sect...
"We were wrong..."
"sorry……"
After thinking about all this, Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou clasped their fists and bowed their heads.
Quickly lifting the two of them up, Nie Ling smiled and said: "My father has actually been paying attention to you. He was the one who asked me to come here just now! Also, he asked me to tell you two things..."
Zhao Sanmei quickly asked: "What are you talking about?"
With a sweet smile, Nie Ling said: "Live well in the future and don't give up hope easily! Also, my father said that from now on, the sect leader of Xuanjian Sect will be your third young sect leader. Father hopes that you can assist him well in the future!"
"
After finishing her words, Nie Ling turned around with a smile. When she reached the door, she tapped her toes and walked away into the distance.
Only Zhao Sanmei and Zhao Shitou are left in the humble house!
Looking at Nie Ling's disappearing figure, Zhao Sanmei burst into tears: "The sect master has been paying attention to us... Under such circumstances, he still cares about us..."
"Yes!" Clenching his fists, Zhao Shitou's eyes turned red: "He... is our father..."
…
"Back?"
Nie Tianyang calmly looked at everything under the mountain peak and softly said three words.
Behind him, Nie Ling was also very calm, nodded and said: "Yes!"
Nie Tianyang then turned around, rubbed Nie Ling's head lovingly, and said, "Then let's get on the road!"
What……
Suddenly and inexplicably hearing Nie Tianyang's incomprehensible words, the elders and disciples of Xuanjian Sect around him suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Sect Master, where are you going?"
"Sect Master, if we want to fight, let's fight together..."
"Yes, Nie Tianyang, although you are the sect leader, no matter what decision you make, should you take us with you?"
A disciple from Shuzitang stood up.
An elder stood up.
Cao Yang and Baili Wuxin stepped forward.
Then everyone stood up!
Looking at everyone, Nie Tianyang smiled and shook his head: "No, I won't bring more people this time! Just our Nie family is enough!"
What does this mean?
But just when he finished speaking, a thunderbolt came from the back mountain in the distance. When someone landed, it was Nie Yong who was responsible for leading people to guard an important place in the back mountain.
When he arrived here, Nie Yong tilted his lips and said with a smile: "Father, the child is here!"
"Good boy!"
Nie Tianyang patted Nie Yong's shoulder, and then slowly raised his voice: "Let's go!"
…
Walk?
Where are they going?
Seeing Nie Tianyang rising in the sky, and Nie Ling and Nie Yong following suit, all the Xuanjian Sect elders and disciples below were all lost in thought.
They believed in their sect master and believed that the sect master would not run away alone in the face of battle.
So now...
Is the sect leader going to throw himself into a trap?
After confirming and thinking about all this, Zhuyue and Elder Mingdao looked at each other and were about to follow.
Beside them, Baili Wuxin, Elder Chiyan, other Shadow Brass and more disciples have also pushed their respective strengths to the extreme, and are about to take off all of them.
But at this moment, Li Shanshan suddenly knelt down on her knees and begged loudly and desolately: "Please don't follow the sect master and the others. I beg you... Only by living... can there be hope, and only then can we wait for hope..."
It turned out that she was extremely smart and had already figured out what Nie Tianyang's plan was - to exchange the three most important people for Nie Heng for the most precious time for the current Xuanjian Sect!
Next to Li Shanshan, Kong Mingzi couldn't help but feel some respect and affection for the girl. Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Can't you hear it? Or are you planning to destroy Xuanjian Sect and Xuanjian?
The only chance for the sect to continue to exist?"
The only chance for Xuanjian Sect to continue to exist?
What the hell is going on?
Countless Xuanjian Sect elders and disciples are still puzzled until this moment!
But at this time, Nie Tianyang had brought Nie Yong and Nie Ling to a sufficient height.
He looked at someone outside Xuanjian Town, a murderous strong man.
"My Lord, Deputy King of the Zhongshou Palace! Since you suspect that our Xuanjian Sect is related to the death of your adopted son, then so be it... I, Nie Tianyang, will go back with you with a pair of children for you to investigate!"
