C47

It was already the beginning of autumn and the sky was freezing cold. On the main road of Jing Chu, the north wind whistled drearily. A young man with disheveled hair and a wine gourd in his hands stumbled over.

At this moment, the sound of a fierce horse came from the end of the road. It was an old man in his seventies riding a horse. In front of him was a young girl around eleven or twelve years old.

Not long later, the horse reached the side of the disheveled youth. Its speed was so fast that it was simply unimaginable.

"Grandfather, look at that brother …" Bring him along! " When the young girl on the horse saw the boy with messy hair, she suddenly tugged at the old man's clothes and pleaded.

The elder was wearing a grey robe and a straw hat. Upon hearing Xiao Ya, he pulled on the reins and said, "Xiao Ya, we don't even have enough for ourselves. Why are you being so nosy?"

The girl did not reply, "Grandfather, I don't care. If we don't bring him along, when those traitors arrive, they will definitely kill him. Grandpa … Grandfather, just save him! "

When the old man heard this, he frowned and helplessly said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" After saying that, he suddenly swung his hand and a long whip coiled up, instantly lifting the shaggy haired youth onto the horse's back.

"Hu hu!"

Just at this moment, more than ten black shadows descended from the sky and landed around the old man. They all wore a strange bronze mask and carried a horned scimitar on their backs.

The old man held onto the reins with one hand and asked angrily: "What are you guys trying to do? Could it be that we have to kill them all? "

"Protector Xiao, the Sect Leader has said that as long as you return to our sect, all previous misunderstandings will be written off. You will continue to hold the post of Protector on the Right. Please reconsider your actions, Protector Xiao!" At this moment, a tall black-clothed man stepped forward and bowed deeply towards the grey-clothed old man, speaking at a leisurely pace.

The grey robed elder's face became serious and he sneered: "Bullshit Sect Leader, did you seal it yourself? You are clearly a bunch of traitorous and disloyal people. If you don't scram now, don't blame me for not accepting you as my brothers! "

With that, the old man waved his sleeve and a long whip appeared in his hand.

"Then there's no turning point?" The leader, the black clothed man laughed coldly.

The old man snorted as he lowered his head and whispered into the young girl's ears, "Xiao Ya, bring this young man with you. Don't turn back, someone will naturally come to meet us."

"Got it, Grandpa!" The girl nodded and whispered to the shaggy haired teenager, "Brother, sit steadily!"

The dozens of men in black had already seen through the old man's intentions. When they saw that the girl was about to escape, they immediately shouted in unison, "Don't let this bastard go!"

After speaking, a dozen figures flew into the air and divided into two groups. One group went to intercept the girl, while the other group went to attack the grey-robed old man at the same time.

The grey-robed old man let out a roar as he waved his whip. The shadows of the whip covered everything within a few dozen feet of him.

However, these men in black seemed to know the old man's methods like the back of their hand. They divided themselves into three different directions and attacked each other. The curved blade tried its best to suppress the old man's long whip.

It was only at this moment that the gray-robed elder cried out in shock, "Special Mother, so it turns out that the four Altar Masters have also changed sides. I'm hanging around here …"

Sure enough, four people walked out from the grey-clothed person and divided into four directions, trapping the grey-clothed old man in the middle.

"Xiao Ya, run!"

The gray-robed old man's expression changed. These gray-robed old men wore copper masks and black robes. It was impossible for them to recognize each other. However, as soon as they fought, the old man recognized four of them and was immediately shocked.

Hearing the old man's shout, the girl hurriedly raised the reins and was about to rush out, but she was still a step too late. She saw several black clothed figures blocking in front of her.

"Kill him!"

One of the men in black sneered and shouted.

Suddenly, the horned sabers on the backs of the ten figures shot toward the girl with a whooshing sound.

The old man saw the dozen daggers flying towards the girl, so he roared and jumped to save them. But at the same time, the four men in black beside him jumped up and attacked him together.

"Scram …" The grey-robed old man roared as his long whip turned into a overlapping shadow, attacking the four of them.

"Motherf * cker, you really don't know how to appreciate favors. Kill them all!" The martial arts of the four black-clothed men were much higher than that of the grey-clothed old man. Their combined attack instantly put the grey-clothed old man at a disadvantage and put him in a precarious situation.

Everyone thought that the girl was about to be met with a calamity, but who would have thought that at this moment, the dozen or so black-clothed people, who were originally heading towards the girl, would suddenly be devoured by a tyrannical force.

"Speak!"

Not only that, a few people had been hit by the scimitar and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?"

The dozen men were shocked as they looked around. However, the northern wind had swept across the road, leaving behind a trail of dust. Not a single person could be seen.

The leader of the men in black sneered and said angrily, "I don't believe it, but did I meet a ghost today?"

After speaking, he leapt up into the air, gripping the hilt of his saber tightly as he slashed out at the young lady. After which, an arc of light shot out.

The girl cried out in fear as she hugged the disheveled youth. She actually fell off her horse. The tall steed was actually cut into two halves by the blade of the black clothed man.

The moment the girl fell to the ground, she pulled the disheveled youth up and said urgently, "Quick, run!"

When the youth heard this, he was frightened to the point that his face turned pale. He grabbed the girl's hand and rushed into the crowd of grey-clothed people. He saw him flustered as he clawed wildly.

However, these black-clothed men appeared to have been manipulated by someone as they toppled over one after another and fell to the ground.

As a result, all of the black-clothed men were greatly shocked and they all jumped back.

Seeing that they were about to succeed, the four people surrounding the old man were also startled, and took the opportunity to jump out of the circle.

"May I ask who friend Wu Lin is? Mo Sect has stopped at Gangmen's House to clean up the mess. I hope that friend can show up!" The leader of the men in black took a step forward and bowed with his hands cupped in front of him.

His voice was loud and clear, filling the entire area within a radius of several miles, yet not a single person answered.

Seeing no response, the leader of the men in black walked to the bodies of the men in black who had been stabbed in the chest and flipped over. He used his hand to feel the wounds and his expression immediately changed.

"Let's go!"

The leader didn't say anything. He turned around and shouted to the crowd. Then, dozens of men in black carried their dead bodies and flew away. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared.

The grey-robed elder did not expect this outcome. He also cupped his hands together and looked around before bowing, "Benefactor, you have secretly saved my life. Please give me your name so that I can repay you in the future!"

However, even after the old man called out several times, there was still no response from the surrounding people.

"Looks like benefactor isn't willing to show up. I must have thought about it. Xiao Ming thanks a lot!" As the old man spoke, he turned around and beckoned to the young girl.

"Grandfather, all the bad guys have left!" The young girl giggled. Even though it was the last days of her life, she couldn't hide her innocence. With this smile, she immediately revealed two small canines, making her look extremely adorable.

The old man nodded and said to the shaggy haired teenager, "Little friend, it's better if you follow me closely and leave this place. Go all the way to the north and you will be safe once you reach the Jing Chu Realm!"

The shaggy haired youth opened his eyes and grinned as he said, "Grandfather, you are a good person, why don't you take me on a journey or I will be killed before I reach Jing Chu!"

The young girl had already seen through the old man's thoughts. She giggled and said, "Grandfather, when we are in the small town in front of us, don't we already have our people coming to meet up with him? It's fine to bring him along …"

After the young girl finished speaking, she suddenly walked over and pulled the hands of the turtleneck youth as she giggled and asked: "What's your name? Is it to Chuzhou? "Then come with us!"

The youth nodded and said, "My name is Young Master Han …" To get to Chang'an, you have to pass through Chuzhou and then cross Hanshui and head north! "

It turned out this youth was Young Master Han, who had caused a huge mess in the Southern Wilderness. At this moment, the demonic intent had been planted in his brain, causing him to be occasionally sober and occasionally confused.

At this moment, it had already been three months since the incident in the martial arts forest at the southern border of the Cave of Heavenly Secrets, and Young Master Han's thought of "To Chang'an, find Liu Che and ask him for an explanation" continuously lingered in his mind.

When he was awake, he gathered his cultivation and forcefully suppressed the three waves of crazy devilish domineering aura in his body. This half month had been a lot better, but at this time, he had unknowingly entered Chu Jing's state.

When the young girl heard that Young Master Han wanted to go to Chang'an, she immediately clapped. "So you're going to Chang'an as well. Grandfather and I are going to Chang'an as well. We'll travel together, and have a companion as well!"

Seeing that the young girl had revealed her route to an unfamiliar youth, the old man purposefully coughed and asked Young Master Han, "Little brother, do you know who's in your house? Where do you live? What do you want to do in the capital? "

Young master Han thought to himself, "This old man is actually an experienced veteran of the martial arts world. He's obviously probing my background!"

Thinking up to here, Young Master Han chuckled and said, "I was originally from the Southern Wilderness, and I lost both my parents in a war. I have no one to rely on now, so I want to go to a relative's place in the capital to earn a living."

Seeing that Young Master Han's answer was satisfactory, the grey robed elder asked a few more irrelevant questions. He could not find any flaws and nodded his head, "So it's Young Master Han, this old man's surname is Xiao, this is my granddaughter Xiao Ya!"

Young Master Han was originally an extremely intelligent person. After conversing with Elder Xiao for a short while, he had already thoroughly investigated this old man and Xiao Ya's backgrounds.

Elder Xiao knew nothing about Young Master Han, so when he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
