"This day is not far away." Wan Ling nodded, "Unfortunately, our Wanqing Academy is still weak. Although Han Sheng has been an exception recently, after all, the number of people is far less than that of other courtyards."
"What are you worried about, mother?" Wan Qingqing keenly felt a trace of Wan Ling's emotions.
"Yes." Wan Ling nodded, "If I'm not wrong, someone will soon take action on the dishes under our Wanqingyuan. The Sanwu City branch you control, and Han Sheng's guard team position, Wei
The helmsmen of Yubei Town who cooperate with each other will be targeted. So be careful."
"What excuse can they find to take action? Although we have done nothing, we have no fault, so can we force it?" Wan Qingqing frowned.
"They don't need to find fault with you." Wan Ling shook his head, "As long as they find a few challengers who come here to defeat you, the position will naturally need to be replaced by someone else. Is it possible for you to refuse the challenge in the world?
"
"Why not? If everyone comes to challenge, wouldn't I have to deal with outsiders all day long? I have the right to refuse." Wan Qingqing retorted.
"Can you refuse once, or how many times? If you want to convince the public, you have to take action. After all, we rely on martial arts cultivation." Wan Ling sighed.
Wan Qingqing suddenly fell silent. Indeed, with some premeditation, as long as he takes action once, he will give people a chance.
"So, it's okay for you and Han Sheng. There are not many masters who can beat you and others who have never shown up.
But Wei He is in some trouble. Although his state is advanced, after dispersing his power, his strength is not enough. If he encounters a trick, he may be..." Wan Ling said worriedly.
"Are you worried that someone will target Wei He because of Yubei Town's interests and right to speak?" Wan Qingqing said.
"Wei He was born in a difficult situation. He came from Yunzhou and had no following. Later, he was withdrawn from the Wu Shi Sect. He also gave up his merits and attached great importance to friendship." Wan Ling shook his head slightly, "I'm worried that something will happen to him."
Pfft.
in the dark.
Wei He slowly pulled out one arm from the chest of a black figure, bringing out a stream of thick blood.
"What are these rubbish coming here for? Just to die?"
He glanced around suspiciously, making sure there were no additional attackers, and then slowly stopped.
Beside him, a corpse had fallen to the ground.
There were six of them in total, all wearing night clothes, with their faces covered, and holding sharp blades. Most of their strength was between second and third blood. The leader was an ordinary martial artist.
Now the martial artist's chest was pierced by a palm from across the face, and he was nailed to the wall of the courtyard, lifeless.
After the breakthrough, Wei He no longer planned to hide his strength.
Not far away, Zhuang Ping led a group of servants and maids, all holding weapons and sweating all over, staring at the cruel and bloody scene in front of them.
The entire Tianyin Pavilion courtyard was covered with the blood of the man in black.
"Take care of it." Wei He said calmly, shaking off the blood stains on his hands. The energy flowed through the body, and his body became clean again, as if he had never touched his hands.
Gulu.
Zhuang Ping just woke up from a dream and swallowed.
This was the first time he had seen such a ruthless and bloody side of his helmsman.
The group of men in black had just rushed in, and without uttering a few harsh words, they were greeted by Wei He, and within ten breaths, they were all eliminated.
Wei He has broken through to the fourth level and can no longer hide too much. Now that the situation is getting unstable, it is time to let his reputation go out to avoid trouble coming all day long.
Clean up the bodies while your subordinates are out.
Wei He returned to his room and wrote a handwritten letter. The identity of the group of people was unknown, but since they dared to attack the sub-rudder, it was a provocation to the entire Tianyin Sect.
So he immediately sent someone to send the message back to the main gate overnight.
At this time, we were in an inn diagonally opposite the Tianyin Pavilion.
In the room on the third floor.
Several strong male and female warriors were quietly waiting for the results.
Two of them were wearing the attire of the inner courtyard of Tianyinmen, and the others were in light blue outfits, with white headscarves tied on their foreheads.
"Junior Brother Xu, why didn't he react when he entered?" A tall man with triangular eyes among the people in white turbans asked, somewhat confused.
"A martial artist who has practiced martial arts. Junior Brother Xu also has many good hands. No matter what, he can easily win. There must be something delayed. Or some trouble has been discovered. Just wait for now. Don't worry."
Another person comforted.
"Don't worry, you two. Wait for now. If there is no result, I will visit you in the name of another courtyard later to check the situation." One of the two inner courtyards of Tianyinmen opposite said with a smile.
On the inner courtyard clothes worn by these two people, there is a light yellow mountain character embroidered on the left chest and heart.
It shows that they are disciples of Fushan Branch of Tianyinmen.
Boom, boom, boom.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Someone came forward to open it and led someone in.
The person who came was wearing a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand and smiling. It was Zhou Yugui who had just escaped from the Zhongling Villa incident.
He had already left the matter over there to another person sent by his father to handle it, and got away from it.
The poisoner's viciousness made him feel cold in his heart. He was able to injure Yan Jiuhai, who was half-forged to the bone, with such a careful mind. Such a person is extremely dangerous.
So in order to avoid trouble, he decisively stepped away, leaving the investigation of the matter to others, and then led the team to deal with some simple matters.
He was the leader of this division operation against Wanqingyuan.
Not only that, there were also operations targeting Dilongyuan and Zhenglinyuan. But among the three action groups, he chose to lead the team to Wanqingyuan.
The previous case made him nervous, so this time he specially picked the weakest one.
"Now that the separation of the Ninth Academy is imminent, we don't have to worry about the severity of our actions. Anyway, we will all be members of another faction in the future. This territory in Yubei Town must be captured." Zhou Yugui warned with a smile as he gently shook his folding fan.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I, Nighthawk Tower, always handle matters safely." The white-turbaned leader said seriously with his hands raised.
"That's good. Our goal this time is to make Wanqingyuan feel the pain. In this way, the old woman Wanling will understand that if she is not strong enough, she must give up her interests obediently. If she doesn't give up, the consequences will be unbearable for her.
....Hehe." Zhou Yugui closed his folding fan, a hint of cruelty flashed in the corner of his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, our Nighthawk Tower is the best at this matter." The white-turbaned leader laughed softly.
Nighthawk Tower is the largest underworld organization near Xuanjing City. It has always relied on assassinations, selling intelligence, and hosting black market businesses as its sources of income.
In the entire Xuanjing City area, if the largest martial arts sect is Tianyinmen, then the largest underworld force is Nighthawk Tower.
The rest are all small forces with no climate.
This was the case with the White Snake Gang and others before.
But no one knows that in Nighthawk Tower, several other courtyards of Tianyin Sect, as well as the deputy sect master Zhou Shun, also have shares in them.
The other side.
After Wei He finished writing the letter, he returned to the courtyard and smelled the faint smell of blood in the air.
There was someone in the corner carrying a bucket, washing away the blood on the floor and wall over and over again.
The pig hair brush rubs against the wall stones, making a swishing sound that is quite rhythmic.
"Master! How could something like this happen! These thieves actually dare to break into our Tianyin Pavilion. They are simply lawless!"
Several disheveled subordinates of the Tianyin Pavilion rushed in hurriedly at this moment, yelling and scolding.
Among them was Ding Yang, who was promoted by Wei He before.
Ding Yang smelled of alcohol and powder, and there were still red lip marks on his face and neck. You could tell where he came from at a glance.
"Master!" Unlike the others, Ding Yang was always honest. When he saw Wei He standing alone in the hall, he suddenly panicked and quickly bowed his head, knowing that he had made a mistake.
"You guys stay here and watch. I'll go out for a while." Wei He didn't criticize him harshly. Ding Yang usually handled things well. In this position, there was nothing he could do if he was dragged to drink wine and socialize.
He doesn't care how people do things, as long as the results are good, everything will be fine.
Without saying a word, Wei He walked out of Tianyin Pavilion.
The group of men in black arrived unexpectedly. In order to avoid revealing his identity, he planned to use disguise and sweep around.
Otherwise, just as the helmsman of the sub-rudder, he will not be able to use his strength, he will not be able to use poison, he will be afraid of his hands and feet, his strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be easy for something to happen.
Anyway, as long as the scene is cleaned up afterwards, everything will be fine.
Wei He left the Tianyin Pavilion and quickly walked into an alley.
[Read books and get cash] Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and read books and get cash!
The alleys here extend in all directions, and you can enter and exit everywhere. There are eight exits in one alley.
Soon, at one of the exits, a burly and fat figure wearing a black robe and a white ghost mask walked out quickly, blending into the thick mist of the night.
Since that group of men in black dared to attack Tianyin Pavilion, they must have been organized and premeditated, so they would probably have people watching around them.
So he planned to sweep the surrounding Tianyin Pavilion. After catching the target, he could follow the clues and solve them all, which would also solve his worries.

"How come it's been so long and there's no reply? It's been some time since Junior Brother Xu went in?" the leader of the white-turbaned Nighthawk Tower asked in a low voice with suspicion.
His name is Zhao Shuilong, and he is a branch of the Night Eagle Tower supported by Zhou Shun.
That's why after Zhou Shun gave the order, he brought several of his junior disciples and subordinates to come and take action.
"Maybe that person hasn't come back, so he's still lurking. There were only a few warriors in the Seal Hall that day, and most of them were out drinking tonight, so nothing will happen."
Someone from Fushanyuan smiled and analyzed.
"Are you not secretly searching the darkroom inside to make a little fortune?" Another person laughed.
Several people laughed together.
Think about it, Wei He is the only helmsman in the Tianyin Pavilion, and he is a martial artist who has passed the martial arts. How can he be the opponent of so many good masters.
Several people immediately relaxed again.
Only Zhou Yugui felt something was wrong in his heart.
Several people were sitting around, enjoying the table of wine and food that had been brought before, eating food, drinking, bragging and spanking, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Zhou Yugui drank two glasses of light wine, got up and went to the window to look out.
In the Tianyin Pavilion at night, there were only two red lanterns swaying in the wind at the door, with a faint light.
In the quiet night, there was always some kind of strange swishing sound coming from afar.
Zhou Yugui's heart trembled, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
He intuitively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Turning around, he looked at the people in Nighthawk Tower and Fushan Courtyard. Several people were drinking and eating, and the atmosphere was lively.
There were obviously a lot of people, but for some reason, the chill in Zhou Yugui's heart could not be eliminated.
"It's getting late. I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. Brothers, it's nice to eat and drink, but don't delay your business." Zhou Yu decided to follow his instinct and leave first.
"Master Zhou, why are you in such a hurry? It's rare for everyone to get together like this. You just drink two drinks and want to run away. Isn't it too disrespectful to us?" Someone from Fushan Court said carelessly.
"It's really something. Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhou Yugui repeatedly cupped his fists and raised his hands.
After apologizing, everyone saw that he was determined to leave, so they stopped trying to persuade him and could only let him go.
Zhou Yugui breathed a sigh of relief, apologized a few times, opened the door and walked out, along the corridor upstairs of the inn, and walked gently to the corner of the corridor.
At night, the inn was deserted, and most people went to bed separately.
His feet stepped on the stairs, making a faint creaking sound.
"By the way, I forgot my folding fan." Suddenly he remembered that his fan was still in the room.
The fan was carefully made by him, with famous inscriptions on it, and hidden weapons hidden inside. It was worth a lot of money. It was also one of his specialty weapons.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yugui quickly turned around and walked towards the room.
After only taking a few steps, he felt the sound of faint footsteps coming from behind him.
Zhou Yugui quickly turned around, but he only felt a breeze blowing, which seemed to be just an illusion.
call....
Looking back again, there was a tall and burly black-robed figure on the corridor in front of him.
The figure wore a white ghost mask and walked step by step towards a room upstairs.
He looked up from time to time, seemingly checking the room number.
Zhou Yugui broke out in cold sweat.
His heart beat faster and faster, and his breathing became much faster.
Snap.
The black-robed figure suddenly seemed to realize something, stopped in his tracks, slowly turned around and looked at him.
This kind of clothing that many warriors like to use to hide their identities, at this moment, in Zhou Yugui's eyes, it looked like an evil ghost, so terrifying.
Because after extensive investigation and Xiahou Ji's description, he had gradually drawn in his mind the outline and characteristics of the murderer who attacked Yan Jiuhai.
And at this time.
The outline and features of the figure in front of him were extremely similar to those in his mind!
"Friend, the way you dress up at night is really scary. It almost scared me to death just now." Zhou Yugui said softly with a smile.
"Really? I'm looking for room 318, but I can't find it anywhere. It's really troublesome to go around this place." The burly figure replied. His voice was a bit weird. It was mixed with a lot of airflow sounds, making it difficult to identify the real voice.
"Room 318, just walk in front of you, turn a corner and go through the bead curtain. That's the room on the left." Zhou Yugui kindly pointed.
"Thank you." The man nodded slightly, turned around quickly, walked in the direction he pointed, and soon disappeared around the corner.
Zhou Yugui calmed down, turned around and walked downstairs.
He tried his best to suppress the rapid beating of his heart, but cold sweat could not be suppressed from the forehead of his vest.
Room 318...
It was the room he just came out of!
He didn't know if his folding fan would be discovered by that person, but the immediate priority was to leave here quickly and return to his father's house.
With his own strength alone, he couldn't defeat even Yan Jiuhai, so he couldn't possibly be his opponent.
run!
Run quickly!!
Zhou Yu returned to the inn, walking slowly at first, then moving faster and faster, becoming more and more urgent, and finally turned into running wildly.
