Although these martial artists who died under Nangong Ling's sword were quite innocent, they were more than worthy of their death.
Who told them to look for trouble and follow Elder Peng to Jianshu Villa to attack the absolutely innocent Zhou Xingyun?
They can only bear the consequences of their own sins.
Zhou Xingyun later thought carefully about it and found that Sister Nangong had been in love with him for a long time, but she was not good at expressing it, which led to many strange things.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, when Zhou Xingyun and Nangong Ling were dueling, he understood Sister Nangong's thoughts through Nangong Ling's "Knife Realm".
This is thanks to the little girl Zhou Yao who helped her father cheat her mother. If she hadn't demonstrated Nangong Ling's trick in front of Zhou Xingyun in advance, Zhou Xingyun probably wouldn't have been able to beat the flirting Nangong Ling.
In addition to the warriors above who followed Elder Peng to attack Zhou Xingyun and were intercepted and killed by Nangong Ling on their way back, there were many warriors who died tragically under Nangong Ling's sword. They all hit Nangong Ling's sword and died.
You can't rely on others.
Nangong Ling is not only a member of the Temple of Death and one of the top ten evil sects, she is also a traitor to the Temple of Death.
At that time, the world was in an uproar because Nangong Ling had killed the elders of the Temple of Death and became a traitor to the Temple of Death.
Many sanctimonious and righteous warriors wanted to use Nangong Ling to improve their reputation in the world, and constantly pursued Nangong Ling.
These people took the initiative to find trouble with Nangong Ling, but were killed by Nangong Ling.
After Zhou Xingyun learned the details from Nangong Ling, he just wanted to say one thing to these people... They deserved it! They deserved to die!
However, Zhou Xingyun felt that they deserved to die, but their disciples and relatives did not think so.
As a result, these people began to seek revenge on Nangong Ling, and the blood debt on Nangong Ling's body accumulated more and more.
All in all, the blood debt on Sister Nangong was basically imposed on her by others.
However, in this big dyeing vat of mixed rivers and lakes, there are many similar situations, and Zhou Xingyun can only bear the consequences together with Sister Nangong.
So here comes the question. Putting aside Nangong Ling's blood debt in the world, the Taiheng City family in front of him is obviously an innocent person. What if Xiao Nangong Ling follows the instructions of the Temple of the Dead and kills the people in the house?
Zhou Xingyun wanted to stop it, but he was afraid of changing history.
To be fair, Zhou Xingyun has done so many great things in the Western Continent, so is it too late to be hesitant now?
Zhou Xingyun watched the old man from the Temple of the Dead enter the house with Xiao Nangong Ling, and followed them secretly to see what they planned to do.
If possible, Zhou Xingyun wanted to save someone and stop this killing.
Anyway, for Zhou Xingyun, offending the Temple of Death is no big deal.
It is true that there is God's will in the dark. Even if Zhou Xingyun has made plans to save people, he cannot change the fate in a few years. This luxurious mansion will still become an abandoned residential area in Taiheng City.
After Zhou Xingyun sneaked into the house, he discovered that the place was lifeless. The people in the house had been killed long before Xiao Nan Gong Ling and the elders of the Temple of Death arrived.
Who did this?
This was done by the old man from the Temple of Death.
In fact, the Temple of Death did not issue a mission at all to let Xiao Nangong Ling and the old man from the Temple of Death kill the wealthy families in Taiheng City.
All this is a drama directed and performed by the old man of the Temple of Death.
The old man from the Temple of Death first killed all the people in the mansion, and then went to Xiao Nangong Ling and said that the Temple of Death had issued a mission and asked Xiao Nangong Ling to go with him to clean up this family.
Why did the old man of the Temple of Death do this? In addition to some personal grudges, he also planned to use this house to set an ambush for Xiao Nangong Ling.
The martial arts of the old man from the Temple of Death are stronger than Xiao Nangong Ling, the former is at the peak level and the latter is at the top.
There is a martial arts level difference between the two, and in the current martial arts common sense, there is an absolute gap.
In short, even if Nangong Ling's martial arts realm has reached its peak, it is impossible to defeat the old man from the Temple of Death who is at the peak realm.
What's more, Nangong Ling's martial arts realm is still in the middle stage of its peak.
Therefore, just as the old man from the Temple of Death said, if he competes with Xiao Nangong Ling, he will definitely win ten games out of ten and definitely defeat Xiao Nangong Ling.
Of course, just because the old man from the Temple of Death can defeat Xiao Nangong Ling does not mean that Xiao Nangong Ling is weak and has no strength to fight.
Xiao Nangong Ling is capable of fighting!
If the old man from the Temple of Death were to fight against Xiao Nangong Ling, at least a hundred of them would have to join together to determine the winner.
It was precisely because Xiao Nangong Ling was capable of fighting that the old man from the Temple of the Dead used ruthless means to set up a trap to frame Nangong Ling in the residence of a wealthy family in Taiheng City.
The reason has been mentioned above. Xiao Nangong Ling's martial arts are fighting skills that involve death and life. The old man in the Temple of Death cannot defeat Xiao Nangong Ling in one fell swoop with a crushing force. Xiao Nangong Ling can be broken into pieces without being destroyed.
The old man from the Death Temple weighed it up and estimated that only a warrior from the Glory Realm could capture Xiao Nan Gong Ling alive without having to kill her with an absolute advantage.
The old man in the Temple of the Dead is not a Martial Lord, so he can only use ruthless means to make Xiao Nangong Ling lose her fighting ability, and then do whatever he wants to her.
The strength of the old man from the Temple of Death was not up to the level of glory, and he was unable to capture Xiao Nangong Ling alive, who was in the ultimate state, so he used the mansion of a wealthy family in Taiheng City to set a trap for Nangong Ling, causing Nangong Ling to lose his internal strength.
In this way, he can forcefully raise his bow and make Xiao Nangong Ling obey.
The world is dangerous! Even fellow sect members cannot let down their guard! This old man from the Temple of the Dead is really disrespectful. After his love was rejected by Xiao Nangong Ling, he used despicable means to deal with her.
As a result, Xiao Nangong Ling followed the old man from the Temple of Death and sneaked into the bedroom of the house. Not long after, something serious happened.
To be sure, after Zhou Xingyun and Hua Fuduo sneaked into the courtyard, they smelled waves of incense.
Zhou Xingyun didn't pay much attention at first...
It is normal for a wealthy family to burn incense and worship Buddha. The smell of incense fills the courtyard.
A wealthy person who can buy a large house in Taiheng City must have a large mourning hall to enshrine the souls of his ancestors. It is not surprising that the incense smell is stronger.
Jianshu Villa also has a large mourning hall dedicated to the immortal master. The smell of incense around it can make Zhou Xingyun burst into tears.
However, after a while, Zhou Xingyun discovered that there was something wrong with the incense in the house, which made him feel empty and weak in his pubic area, just like taking anesthetics, which made people feel breathless.
Only then did Zhou Xingyun realize that the incense burned by wealthy families was not ordinary incense. The smell was poisonous!
Xiao Nangong Ling's martial arts realm was weak, and her perception was not as sharp as Zhou Xingyun's, so when she noticed the disorder in her dantian, it was already too late.
However, Xiao Nangong Ling did not panic. She remained calm and followed the instructions of the old man from the Temple of Death to sneak into the bedroom of the mansion to find and assassinate the owner of the mansion.
Xiao Nangong Ling was pretending. She pretended not to discover the conspiracy of the old man in the Temple of Death, and kept calm and acted together with the old man.
The old man thought that Xiao Nangong Ling had not discovered the trap he had set in the house, so he continued to wander around the west wing with her, 'looking for' the owner of the house.
However, when Xiao Nangong Ling and the old man from the Temple of Death walked into a relatively small bedroom, Xiao Nangong Ling's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and he suddenly slashed at the old man from the Temple of Death.
Xiao Nangong Ling struck first, caught him off guard, and slashed at the old man in the Temple of the Dead with a knife in the small bedroom. It was really a stroke of genius.
Originally, Xiao Nangong Ling's sword was very long and was not suitable for fighting people in a small room.
However, now because the room is small and Xiao Nangong Ling's sword is very long, the old man in the Temple of the Dead has no way to hide.
As a result, Xiao Nangong Ling's electric knife struck directly from the right shoulder to the heart of the old man in the Temple of Death, leaving a ten-inch stab wound.
The clothes of the old man in the Temple of Death were suddenly stained red with blood.
After Xiao Nangong Ling slashed the old man in the Temple of Death, he did not pursue the victory, but turned around and ran out of the wing.
Xiao Nangong Ling was very calm. She knew very well that her sword would be affected by obstacles in the small wing and would be difficult to use. After the sneak attack was successful, it would be more beneficial for her to run to the courtyard.
Furthermore, Xiao Nangong Ling knew that she had been poisoned and her Dantian Qi was getting weaker and weaker. Now that she could escape, she would not have to fight the old man in the Temple of the Dead.
Although the old man in the Temple of Death was stabbed by her and his injuries seemed quite serious, Xiao Nangong Ling, who had lost his internal strength, was still no match for him.
Therefore, Xiao Nangong Ling made a decisive decision. After striking the old man in the Death Temple, he immediately ran away, running as far as he could.
Unfortunately, Xiao Nangong Ling didn't run far before she was surrounded by the Temple of Death killers lurking in the house.
"Do you think you can escape?" The old man from the Temple of Death walked out of the bedroom calmly. It turned out that he had an accomplice...
Xiao Nangong Ling ran out of the wing. When he rushed to the middle of the courtyard, six men in black suddenly appeared on the left and right sides, blocking her way.
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw this, secretly thinking that these assassins from the Temple of the Dead were really masters of playing hide-and-seek, and he didn't even notice them.
Among the assassins of the Temple of Death who besieged Xiao Nangong Ling, were there any graceful female assassins in black?
Zhou Xingyun scanned them with wide eyes. No, they were all real men in the world.
Zhou Xingyun was relieved instantly. No wonder he couldn't find them.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Nangong Ling was fighting with six assassins from the Temple of the Dead.
The six assassins in black who were the accomplices of the old man in the Temple of Death were all top warriors. In Zhou Xingyun's eyes, they were naturally low-class minions.
However, in this era of martial arts in the Central Plains, the top masters are also powerful men with great reputations.
After all, the Battle of Destiny ten years ago severely damaged the vitality of the martial arts community in the Central Plains. Countless martial arts masters died in that battle. Even if they survived, they were probably too seriously injured and had to retreat to the mountains and forests.
To put it bluntly, the current martial arts world in the Central Plains is truly a place where novices compete with each other.
Therefore, just like Xiao Nangong Ling, the descendants who have reached the peak level at the age of eleven or twelve are simply rare treasures that are rare to find in a thousand years in the eyes of the warriors in the world and the old man in the Temple of Death!
