While the sun was setting in the west wind, Jing Wuya and Gongsheng Rong, who had just escaped from the Tomb of Authority, were discussing their whereabouts.

"I say, Miss Gongsheng, where are we heading now?"

"That depends on you. If you say go east, I'll go east. If you say go west, I'll go west."

"Aiya, don't you usually have some ideas? Why are you so presumptuous now? This really surprises me, Jing Wuya."

"It's not that I don't have any opinions, but there's an old saying, 'A chicken marries a chicken, a dog marries a dog'. Since I've already married you, then of course, I'll follow your lead." While saying that, Gong Luoran had a naughty smile on her face.

"Yo, I didn't realize that you could always be so talkative."

"About this, you can only say that you don't understand women. Women all have their naughty side."

"Alright, alright, I won't beat around the bush with you, then let's return to Handan. My master and the others are all there, I wonder if the crisis in Handan has been resolved."

"Aiya, do you want to meet your Master or Senior Sister-in-law?" That male loser Rong smiled and purposely said mischievously.

"Look, you came again. It's okay if you want to see them, right?"

"Fine, fine, fine. But I'm just afraid that your junior sister Ce Ze will come back with a beautiful wife for no reason. I'll let you have a hard time when the time comes."

"Alright, you can continue. I'll have some fun then." Jing Wuya could only smile helplessly when he heard this.

"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. It's getting late, let's find an inn and sleep early."

"Then let's hurry."

After the two said this, their legs suddenly clamped on the saddle, they raised their horsewhips and rushed in the direction of Handan City.

Handan City, General Li's Estate. A burly man knocked on the guest room door. He heard a "Come in" from inside and entered.

"Senior Brother, it's so late. I'm disturbing your rest." The one who pushed open the door and entered was Lei Zhen, and the room he entered was the same room as the mountain group.

"I won't disturb you. Junior Lei, what business do you have with me?"

I also have something important to tell you, "Lei Zhen said. Lei Zhen was a man who did not know how to beat around the bush, and since Shan Gen asked like that, he began to explain," Senior Brother, I believe you already know, a few days ago General Li was tired of being a traitor and now he is being held in death row. His family was assigned to be slaves, and tomorrow, he will set off to go on his journey. As for Senior Brother, you have always been severely injured, so your movements have been inconvenient. Thus, I have not told you about this matter.

"Oh, so that's how it is. This matter is of great importance, did you report it to Master?" The duo could not help but ask worriedly.

"This matter is extremely urgent. I'm afraid we won't make it in time. Even if I used the Thunder Command Token, it would still take three days to get an answer. So, I decided on my own with General Sima. After all, preserving the Li family's bloodline is a huge matter."

"That's true. Then go and make the arrangements. I'll pack up now so that we can travel together."

"Alright then. Senior Brother, hurry up and pack up. Once I've arranged everything, I'll send someone over to notify you."

"Alright."

With a loud grunt of assent, Lei Zhen stepped out of the mountain group's room.

The moment Lei Zhen stepped out of the door, he immediately stood up and shot an arrow towards the door. After confirming that there was no one around, he quickly closed the door and packed up his belongings.

Perhaps for a martial artist, carrying things was actually very simple, just a few pieces of clothing, a weapon, and a few thin pieces of cloth. Perhaps for a martial artist, a few pieces of clothes, a weapon, and a few pieces of soft things were actually very simple, just a few pieces of clothes.

He carefully took out a brocade box from under the pillow and opened it to check if it was intact. After confirming that it was intact, he put it back into the brocade box. Just as he was about to wrap it with cloth and put it into his luggage, he suddenly heard a creaking sound from the door.

"Senior brother, I forgot to tell you earlier that the time of departure is ten minutes." Lei Zhen still acted like he was careless and forgot to knock on the door as he barged in.

The burgundy had already placed all its attention on the embroidered box. Now that someone had suddenly barged in, it was natural that they panicked. The embroidered box in their hands became unsteady and fell to the ground. Upon seeing this situation, the dugong was so frightened that its face immediately paled. It hurriedly mustered its strength and swiftly stuck out its foot, but after seeing the box fall to the ground in midair, it was intercepted and even swayed a few times. Fortunately, it was still able to sit firmly on the tip of the dugong's foot.

However, even though the brocade box had been saved, no one could have expected that due to the previous struggles, the lid of the box had unintentionally fallen off. The contents of the box were completely exposed to the two of them. The eye-catching golden inlaid jade constantly exuded its unique power and majesty.

"Senior Martial Brother, what is this thing?" Although Lei Zhen had never seen such a thing before, from its appearance, he knew that it was not an ordinary item. It had to be something from the royal family.

"Oh, this was only a few days ago when I was strolling on the streets of Handan. I saw that the goods at the street stands were very exquisite, so I casually bought one to commemorate my time." While laughing, he hurriedly picked up the lid of the embroidered box and covered up the item inside.

"So that's how it is. Then I won't disturb you any further. Senior Brother, pack your things and meet up at the Li Residence's front hall."

"Alright, alright." The dugong answered and began to pack up his things.

However, he did not know that although Lei Zhen was a boorish person, when he did things, he would be very careful. The moment he put the object into the box, the words on the object were completely written down by Lei Zhen.

The night was dark and windy, the night was filled with suspense, making the night even stranger. In the midst of the night, a careful shadow was observing the surroundings, and when he was certain that it was absolutely safe in the night, the carrier pigeon in his hand let out a "gu" sound and disappeared into the night. Watching the carrier pigeon disappear without a trace, the black figure revealed a complacent expression. Perhaps what he did not expect was that his every movement did not escape the eyes of a single person.

"It really is you, senior brother." Just as the black figure was still immersed in his perfect plan, a deep voice broke the silence.

"Oh, so it's Junior Lei. I just finished preparing and was about to reunite with you." Seeing that he met someone familiar, the black shadow hurriedly found an excuse to greet him. Of course, this person was a mountain clam.

"Senior brother, you don't need to pretend that nothing happened. From what I see, you've already recovered from your injuries." When Lei Zhen heard the mountain dragon's explanation, he faintly smiled.

"Junior brother, you should also be clear about my injuries. My vitality has been damaged, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fully recover in a short period of time."

"Really?" "Then I see that you were extremely nimble when you took the item just now. It doesn't look like you were seriously injured at all."

"Oh, that's also because that thing is really important to me. Back then, it was also because I was worried."

"That's important, that's the Prime Minister's seal, how can it not be important?" Lei Zhen couldn't help but mock him when he saw that the mountain raven was still looking for an excuse for him, but the more he spoke, the more flaws he revealed.

"So, you already know about it," when the mountain saw that his identity had been exposed, his tone became equally solemn, "It seems that you have suspected me for a long time now."

"Before this, I didn't suspect you, I just thought that Master had arranged for you to use the Gate of Wonder's Xuan Formation to stop the Qin Army in Handan City, but who would've thought that all of them would break through in three days. This is either an expert of the Qin Army who understands how to set up the Gate of Wonder, or a traitor of my Mo family, but I absolutely didn't think that this person would be Senior Brother Shan Gen."

"I didn't expect that you, Junior Lei, would be so narrow-minded. It seems that I've underestimated you." Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the mountain had also become calm.

"If I'm not wrong, General Li was framed because of you!"

"You guessed right. All of the plans were arranged by me. When Guo Kai was transferred to Li Mu's side, he was secretly taken over by me."

"Why is that?!" Lei Zhen suddenly felt a pang in his heart, "Master has treated you well, why did you betray Master and the Mo family!"

"You are wrong, I did not betray my master, and I did not betray the Mo family, because from the beginning to the end, I was not a member of the Mo family." "From the very beginning, I have been planted into the inner circle of the Mo family. All these years, I have worked hard to gain the trust of all these people. I have become one of the eight sons of the Mo family for this day."

"You don't need to know, and you won't have a chance to know." After he finished speaking, a cold light flashed past Lei Zhen's neck, but before Lei Zhen could even react, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then a hot stream of water spurted out. Lei Zhen might have wanted to say something, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not utter a single word, and only felt his breathing become more and more difficult, and his chest became heavier and heavier, as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, until he slowly lost all sense of it, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Junior Lei, walk well. Don't blame me when you reach Yama, because you really do have too much suspicion and know too much." The duo slowly wiped the bloodstained dagger in their hands with a piece of cloth as they coldly spoke.

For Shan Gen, Lei Zhen had to be eliminated, because he still had a deeper plan that he had yet to complete. He would never allow anyone to destroy this plan, and anyone who stopped this plan would only have one ending, and that was death. What he did not expect, however, was that what he had just done was seen clearly by someone else and was imprinting an old saying: If you want to be ignorant, do it without doing it yourself. The person who had seen all of this had his eyes wide open. He covered his mouth with both hands, afraid that any sound he made would be found out by this terrifying traitor, and he would die for sure. After the mountain group slowly left, this eyewitness hurriedly ran towards Li Mu's family that were gathered in the Li Residence's inner hall. She knew that she had to get there as soon as possible, and if she was too late, no one would be able to leave Handan City.

It was almost time, the dagong knew that he had already released his information for two hours, and Guo Kai's internal guard should be arriving soon as well. Right now, all he needed to do was enter the Li Residence's inner hall and find an excuse to delay Li Mu's family, which would allow him to easily capture Li Mu's entire family. Just when he was feeling pity for the few ants that were struggling in death, he suddenly realized that he was wrong. Moreover, he was completely wrong, because there were no more ants struggling in death in the Li Residence's inner hall.

"Quickly, quickly, surround the Li Residence!" A commotion could be heard outside the door as a group of guards stood guard outside the Li Residence. The guards had surrounded the mansion so tightly that not even a single fly could escape.

"Director Guo, don't waste your time. You're late." Seeing the awe-inspiring Feathered Forest Guard, the dugong was immediately infuriated. He cursed in his heart that they were all just a bunch of useless trash.

"What!" Hearing this, Guo Kai, who was sitting upright in his palanquin, flew into a rage as he jumped down from the palanquin. After taking a close look at the empty Li Mansion, he shouted angrily, "General Shan Gen, you're messing with this old servant!"

"When did I tease you? My message was sent two hours ago, it's clear that Manager Guo is late, and it's already been almost an hour since Zi. "

"You're clearly trying to force the truth out of me!" Guo Kai couldn't stand to see others being so arrogant in front of him, and now that he heard the mountain dragon speak in such a manner, he was even more displeased. He said coldly, "All of this was planned by General Shan Gen, now that something has gone wrong, the main responsibility naturally rests on you. Why are you blaming this old servant now here?"

"Hmph, Manager Guo, don't forget, you have to rely entirely on yourself to regain your current status. We're both grasshoppers on the same rope, why are you thinking of destroying the bridge after we cross the river?" That mountain clam was also not an easy target. It spoke word for word and used both force and force. It was not polite at all.

"This old servant naturally doesn't dare to forget. Just now, this old servant spoke a little anxiously, so I hope that General does not take it to heart." Guo Kai's words were indeed effective, and his tone was much softer as well. Guo Kai was aware of the current situation; his status had not reached the point where he could stand up to all expectations. Therefore, if any trouble broke out at this critical moment, his grand scheme for the future would be ruined, and he would have to endure it for now.

"It's good that Manager Guo knows. I'll have to trouble you with a lot of things in the future."

"Of course, of course." Guo Kai nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.

"Reporting, Sir Manager, a keepsake has been found on the floor of the inner hall." Just as Guo Kai and Shan Gen were chattering away, suddenly, a soldier came forward shouting loudly while handing over an item.

"Present." Guo Kai shouted in a strange tone.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, the dugong at the side interrupted everything. Instead, it slowly walked up to the soldier and carefully examined the token before slowly saying, "So that's how it is. It seems that someone leaked the news in advance."

"Why does General Shan Gen say that?"

"Director Guo doesn't know. This keepsake is a keepsake unique to my Mo family. Judging from the smell it exudes, it's definitely my eighth sister's."

"Oh? In other words, if Li Mu's family was able to escape, then it must be that eighth sister of yours who leaked the news in advance, right? "

"It looks like I've been too careless. Just now, I spoke with a slightly offensive tone. I hope that Manager Guo will forgive me."

"General Shan Gen is too polite. What's the point of a small matter like this?"

"Since Chief Steward Guo doesn't care, then you and I don't need to worry about this. Li Mu's family has both family members, and I believe they haven't gone far yet. If we can send elite troops to hunt them down, I believe we'll be able to capture all of them!"

"General Shan Gen's words are reasonable. I will immediately send eight Yama Kings with three hundred elite riders to chase at top speed."

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to Manager Guo. I still have other things to do."

"General can be at ease. Leave everything to this old servant."

Guo Kai had always trusted his personal guards, Eight-sided Yama Xiang Chong was one of Guo Kai's top ten internal guards, he had once assassinated Prime Minister Zhang of the State of Zhao, Xiang Chong had fought against eight, the single Prime Minister Zhang had protected himself unharmed, Prime Minister Zhang had praised him for his bravery, and had earned the title of Eight-sided Yama, after Prime Minister Zhang had passed away, Xiang Chong had pledged his allegiance to Guo Kai, and served him until today. Sending him to hunt down Li Mu's family this time was naturally a piece of cake, and it was a piece of cake for him.

Han Di's Flying Immortal Shop was one of the eight famous shops in the Mo Clan, and had always been a place where all the heroes of the martial arts world gathered. Every day, there were countless swordsman merchants who passed by, and the King of Han came here personally, admiring the free and unfettered air of the land, as free and unfettered as a god from outer space, and hence personally bestowed the title "Flying Immortal", hence the Flying Immortal Shop got its name. Ever since the Flying Immortal Palace became famous, it had attracted many people from the martial arts world. Every time they passed through the border of Korea, they would come to this place to visit and enjoy themselves. However, no one would have thought that, even though this place appeared to be bustling and boundless, with the presence of the martial arts world spanning a thousand miles, the Mainland was where the Mo family's workshop was located, and also where the Mo family gathered informants. Owner Nie Long was one of the seven Grand Elders of the Mo family.

When Big Brother and the rest arrived at this place, they were all stunned by the scene in the Flying Immortal Stage. The entrance was closed, and they flipped to the side, only to see that there was no one in the place, and items were scattered messily on the ground. The graceful and carefree aura of the place was completely gone, not to mention the guests, even the attendants had disappeared.

"Has something happened at the Flying Immortal Palace?" Tian Gan couldn't help but to be worried as he watched this abnormal scene.

"We'll talk about it when we find Elder Nie." Even though he knew that the situation was abnormal, he couldn't judge it before the situation was clear.

The two of them followed the messy path, carefully looking for clues as they slowly walked into the inner hall.

"Master, there's blood here!" Suddenly, Tian Gan noticed that there was a splotch of blood on the pillar near the blind spot in the inner chamber. He couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Big Brother Li quickly walked over and carefully examined the direction pointed by Tian Gan. Looking carefully, the blood trail was already dried up, and judging from the looks of the remaining blood trail, Big Brother Li's abdomen was deeply disturbed by the tragic scene. Thus, he slowly said: "It seems that something has happened to the Flying Immortal Palace."

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the heavens shouting, "Master, there's one here too!" When he looked towards the source of the sound, he saw that Tian Gan was pointing at the bloodstains on the window in the inner hall. His eyes were filled with surprise. This time, Big Brother Li did not immediately go over to check, but only began to carefully scan every inch of the hall, the doorways, the windowsills, the pillars, the chairs, and so on. Sure enough, he discovered that the blood trail did not appear by chance, but rather appeared in all the concealed corners.

"Tian Gan, it seems that someone has already been here for a while, and they are all inner guards with high martial arts skills." Big brother muttered to himself.

"How did Master come to this conclusion?"

"Each remnant blood stain was caused by splashing out, which shows that the inner guards' actions were extremely quick, there was not even a trace of hesitation in killing, and the sword was the fatal point, if I did not expect it, these people were all well-trained inner guards, and they came with a very clear goal."

"Ah?" "Where's Martial Uncle Nie?" Tian Gan said worriedly after hearing this.

"Based on the current situation, it seems that your Martial Uncle Nie is in trouble."

"However, ever since Martial Uncle Nie opened the Flying Immortal Workshop, he has always been a kind and hospitable person. He has never had any grudges with anyone before. Why did he bring such a calamity upon himself?"

"This matter has yet to be clarified. Perhaps the inner guards aren't here to avenge your Martial Uncle Nie."

When Tian Gan heard this, he was still filled with suspicion, but he still couldn't find a clue. Just as Da Zi and Tian Gan were puzzled by what was happening, suddenly, they heard a rustling sound from within the wine shelf, and the originally hesitant nerves of the two immediately tensed up, they involuntarily gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, and slowly walked towards the wine shelf. Just as the two of them were about to open the wine shelf, there was a sudden clang as the door of the liquor cabinet burst open and a shadow who had gone berserk rushed out from inside. After that person rushed out of the cabinet, he kept shouting, "There's something wrong! There was a ghost! "and he rushed straight for the door.

Seeing that, the big boss immediately used his movement technique, and rushed forward, his right hand striking the man's Bai Hui acupoint slightly, causing him to lose his energy, he only felt his feet go soft, and then he fell down, after that his eyes went wide and he lost consciousness.

"Master, this is?"

"Judging from his attire, he should be a servant of the workshop. I guess he must have suffered some sort of terrifying shock to be able to act like he lost his seven souls and six souls."

"From the looks of it, something terrible has indeed happened in the Flying Immortal Palace." Tian Gan slowly said word by word.

"This matter is still not certain. We can only wait until the servant regains his consciousness before we understand the truth." Right now, the most important thing is to find the corpses of the people who died here, as well as traces of your Junior Master Nie. "

As he spoke, he started to look around. Of course, Tian Gan also agreed with his master, so they went along to look for new clues. Once again, they sorted out the clues, trying to get to the bottom of everything that had happened in the Flying Immortal Palace.

However, at this time, Tian Gan's words resonated with Big Brother's belly: "Master, do you smell anything special? There seems to be something special in the air."

"I also sensed it just now," Big Yellow said as he took a deep breath. After carefully inspecting the smell, he said slowly, "This smell is still lingering in this room."

Then he walked step by step in the direction in which the breath had come from, until he came to a stone wall that was hidden by a screen. Big Dipper looked at the stone wall, then looked at the screen again, and said thoughtfully, "These two screens are very strange. They shouldn't be placed on either side." As a result, he gently pushed open the screen, and what appeared before him was an airtight stone wall. However, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary stone wall. He could still feel the powerful aura coming from the other side of the stone wall.

He looked closely at the stone wall and suddenly saw traces of blood on the wall lamp beside the airless stone wall. Judging from the shape of the remnant, it was clearly a bloody finger mark! With the imprint of the finger, the potbellied man touched the wall lamp again. Suddenly, with a "boom" sound, the stone wall suddenly moved away from the wall, and a secret passage appeared in front of the two of them.

"This should be the Flying Immortal Palace's secret passageway, right?" Tian Gan guessed as he saw this.

Big Brother nodded his head, then entered the secret passage. Seeing that, Tian Gan followed closely behind. At this moment, the two of them simultaneously felt a strong aura. That was because the instant the hidden door opened, a pungent stench came out.

The moment the two of them arrived at the secret room, the two couldn't help but be stunned, because this scene was truly terrifying to the point of making one want to vomit. Even though the two of them had experienced many trials and tribulations in the martial arts world, this was still the first time they had encountered something like this — mountains of corpses, crisscrossing each other, some with incomplete limbs, and some with skulls missing. It was just that the enemy was vicious to such an extent that it made the two of them extremely pained and angry. The two of them seemed to have already seen the miserable screams of the people at the brink of death, but it was a pity that at that time, no one beside them would be moved by the sight of these dying beings. They would still be able to kill them...

"Master, the corpses have been investigated one by one. Other than the one survivor, there are indeed 179 lives in the Flying Immortal Palace." After taking care of the matter at hand, Tian Gan immediately reported to Big Brother.

"Sigh, what a terrible sight," Big Head heard Tian Gan's report and couldn't help but to let out a long sigh. He then asked, "What about the lucky survivors?"

"Although I have already awoken, I just stayed in the wine shelf alone for a long time. My body was weak at times, and I was still scared. I muttered the word 'ghost'."

"Witnessing such an inhumane slaughter with my own eyes, no one would be able to bear it for a while, not to mention he's just a small waiter. Normally, he only serves wine to pour tea. How could he have seen such a terrifying situation?"

"Disciple understands this, but disciple still has something he doesn't understand."

"What is it?"

"Martial Uncle Nie's body wasn't found among all the corpses. The location of his whereabouts is still unknown."

"Oh? "Elder Nie, you're missing?" Big Dipper stroked his long beard, filled with doubts, and slowly said, "It seems that there are only two possibilities. Either Elder Nie escaped this disaster by a fluke, or Elder Nie has already fallen into someone else's hands."

"That's right, but from disciple's perspective, the possibility of the latter is higher. Because the killers were so skilled at killing, they proved to be trained insiders, and such a trained inmate could not possibly allow their main target to escape. "

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense, but at the moment, it's just a guess. There's no conclusive evidence. Let's go, Master will take a look at the surviving Flying Immortal Sect disciples."

After a while, Da Zi and Tian Gan walked over to the surviving Flying Immortal Palace disciple. The person had awoken, but was still staring blankly. He was in a daze, occasionally sitting quietly, occasionally in shock. Every change that occurred caused him to lose his strength and fall to the side. At this moment, when he saw the arrival of Tian Gan and his big belly, his eyes seemed to be shining with a little light. However, he was both surprised and happy. It was still difficult to tell what he was thinking.

"There's no need to panic, I'm from the Mo family, and I have a close relationship with the owner of this place, Nie Long." Big Brother saw the bewildered look on the servant's face, and quickly bent over him, whispering words to dispel the fear in the man's eyes.

"Big brother's belly, big brother's belly …" When the servant heard this, he muttered some incantations and suddenly revealed a frightened expression, "Ghost, ghost, and ghost are seeking their life, ah, there's a ghost!"

"Brother, look carefully!" We are not ghosts or gods! " Seeing that the person was still unconscious, Tian Gan urged him loudly.

Suddenly, that person seemed to have been stunned by something. He stood there like a statue as he stared unblinkingly at Tian Gan's waist. It turned out that the person was not looking at anything else, it was Tian Gan's Heaven Wind Cloud Fan, and there was a jade pendant on the fan's handle, with the word "Mo" carved on the front and the word "Tian Gan" on the other side. This was the exclusive pendant of the Mo family's eight sons, and even though no one in the sect had seen the eighth son of the Mo family, they had heard of it before.

"Are you really from the Black Sect?" And it's the head of the Mo family's eight sons, Heaven's Deal? " The disciple suddenly became rational, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Love and love, stop attacking each other. Go to hell and die a miserable death." Seeing that he still had some doubts, Tian Gan slowly said the Mo family's password word by word, "I am Tian Gan, and the one beside me is the head of the Mo family, Zi Zi Yue."

After experiencing such a great change, all the doubts and uneasiness in his heart were immediately gone. At this moment, he really needed a sense of security, and in an instant, he had thousands of words that he wanted to say to Tian Gan and the others. However, the corner of his mouth moved a few times without being able to say a single word, and in the end, he only said one sentence: "I've finally waited for you guys to come."

"Rest assured, right now you are safe. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Master and I will make the decision for you."

"I am the disciple of Flying Immortal Palace, Di Qing. Greetings, Great Sect Leader." When the man heard this consolation, all his misgivings were dispelled and he became completely rational. He then kowtowed to his son.

"Little Brother Di, there's no need to be so courteous. This old man can't take it. I was a bit late, but I didn't expect for the Flying Immortal Palace to meet with such a disaster." Seeing this, the big man's abdomen hurriedly helped Di Qing up.

"Big Brother, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here, Owner Nie, he's … "He …" The attendant was so excited, he couldn't speak.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Make the necessary arrangements and explain everything that has happened here to me in detail." Big Brother said as he slowly helped Di Qing up onto the chair.

Di Qing sat on the chair, composed herself and took a deep breath. Then, she started to explain slowly, "The previous day, it was already midnight and the guests had all left. Since the Flying Immortal Palace had closed for the night, I was at the back of the hall ordering wine and food. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the front hall and many disciples rushed to the front hall. I had intended to go over and check on the situation, but as the matters at hand weren't finished yet, I planned to finish my inventory before going back to the main hall. Who knew, only screams and screams would be heard afterwards. Through the gap in the liquor cabinet, I could only see a few ghosts wandering around the hall. Everywhere they passed, there was a flash of light, and before any of the disciples could figure out what was going on, they were all decapitated, their limbs completely destroyed, and for a moment, the hall was a mess of flesh and blood. When I woke up, I saw a shadow flash outside the door of the cabinet again. I didn't want to be detected by that shadow, so I ran out of the room. As a result, I only felt that the Baihui Acupuncture Point was numbed for a moment, and my legs went soft, and I fainted again. "

"According to what you've said, the person you've met afterwards is me and Tian Gan. Furthermore, the so-called ghost that you're talking about is definitely an internal guard."

"But those people are as terrifying as ghosts. They are definitely not something a normal person can do."

"I believe you, there are indeed such inner guards in the martial arts world. Their moves are like ghosts, killing people without a trace."

"Is Master talking about the Yin Yang family?" Could it be that it was because he lost to Master, so revenge was in his heart? "

Although the Yin Yang family is famous for its Yin Yang techniques, I have fought against Zou Shuang a few days ago. Although his techniques are vicious, they are all based on using inner force, not on the speed of an external force, and from the looks of it, fatal injuries are all vital veins. Furthermore, one of them was killed instantly, so the old me deduce that this matter is not the doing of the Yin Yang family. Big brother said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"If the Yin-Yang Sect had not interfered, who else in the martial arts world would have used such a cruel method to kill someone?"

It seems like the bloody handprint on the wall lamp in the back hall was Owner Nie's. However, what's strange is that the secret chamber in the back hall was seen through by someone. It seems like someone must have been lying in ambush there.

"Master's deduction is reasonable, but the only thing I don't know is whether Junior Martial Uncle Nie is alive or not. If he is alive, then where is he hiding? If he is dead, then where did his corpse go?"

"That's what I want to know." As he spoke, he began to ponder.

Suddenly, Tian Gan and Big Brother raised their heads at the same time, as if they had noticed the strange noises coming from all around them. They looked at each other, and Tian Gan gave Big Brother a look, and Big Brother understood what he meant, so he nodded slowly.

It was just that just now, they accidentally touched the roof tiles and made some noises, but how could they escape from the ears of Tian Gan and Da Zi. With just a light movement, the two of them had already blocked the figure's path of retreat.

However, just as Tian Gan was about to question the identity of the figure, the figure actually rushed up to him and shouted, "Senior brother, master!"

Tian Gan was also startled by this sudden turn of events. When he looked carefully, that figure was not anyone else but their seventh brother, Xun Feng!

"VII … "Junior brother …" Tian Gan didn't seem to believe that this living junior brother was here, so he took the chance to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"Sigh, this is a long story. I'll explain it in detail to you and my master later. It's good that I can see you two now."

There were too many things he wanted to ask, but seeing that he also had some things he wanted to say, he resisted the urge to speak, and waited for the three to sit down before continuing the conversation.

The master and disciple duo had coincidentally come across each other after such a complicated matter. Naturally, they were both surprised and happy. At this moment, Sunset was already completely worn out, and it seemed like they had not had a good rest for a long time. Ever since his son had sent him to contact the various owners of the Mo family in Chu, Wei, Han, Yan and other places, he had never returned. Since then, he had never brought any news to his son, and Divine Wind Sect had also lost all contact with him.

After the three of them had taken their seats, Tian Gan impatiently asked Xun Feng, "Seventh Junior Brother, Master sent you to meet with all the big shopkeepers in different countries for a few days. Why is there no news of you?"

"Sigh, Senior Brother, you might not know this, but when Master ordered me to go to various places, I immediately ordered the four hall masters of the Divine Wind Sect to be quick, fast, quick, and restricted my movements. However, after I went to the Swallow ground, the other four hall masters lost contact with me. Afterwards, the disciple decided to personally head over to each of the large shops to investigate, but strangely, no one was around. The normally bustling and lively large shops were turned into a pile of ruins within a few days, and what was even more terrifying was that after such a huge commotion, not a single person in the surrounding area was able to personally see what had happened. "Disciple felt that this matter is of great importance, so he rushed back to the Land of Han without stopping. I originally wanted to investigate some more and tell this matter to master, but who knew that we would meet master and senior brother here …"

"What did you say?!" Just as he heard Xun Feng say half a sentence, he said in shock, "You said Chu, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi have met with mishaps?"

"According to the information that this disciple has, this should be the case."

"Then what about the owners and disciples?"

"Sum … Their whereabouts are all unknown. "

"Missing? [What do you mean missing?] Those are all living people, how could they disappear just like that?! " Big Brother heard this and felt as if he was struck by lightning. All these shops were a stronghold that the Mo family had spent a lot of manpower and resources to set up in other countries. It could be said that this stronghold was where the Mo family's century-old foundation was located. What was more terrifying was that they didn't know anything about the opponents who had wiped out these strongholds in an instant.

"Master, don't worry. According to this disciple's guess, something similar to what happened in the Flying Immortal Palace must have happened. The opponent was extremely cautious, which was why Seventh Junior Brother didn't notice."

"He really is such a terrifying opponent." He had to admit that this opponent was very scary, because he really couldn't imagine who could cut off all of the Mo family's men in such a short time without leaving any traces behind. At this moment, he was lost in thought once again as he recalled everything that had happened in this period of time.

A moment later, as if he had suddenly understood something, he shook his head alone and said with a wry smile, "I was too careless. I was too careless. This is a game that has been laid out for a long time, and each of us is a chess piece on this board. Although we believe that we are moving towards victory with every step we take, we never would have thought that the person who is actually playing this game would be sneering in the dark right now. "If I'm not wrong, the Mo family is going to meet with a calamity."

"Master, why do you say that?" Although Tian Gan knew that the situation was already very serious, he didn't know how far it would go.

"From the beginning, someone took advantage of the Qin to send out troops to exterminate Zhao, and when I learned that Handan was in danger, I will use all means at my disposal to protect Handan, but at this moment, our opponents are watching us from the shadows. When I decided to send a full defense to all the strongholds of the Mo family, they found out about every one of our strongholds, and in a lightning fast and unexpected manner, annihilated every one of our strongholds without the slightest preparation, making them completely disappear from the hands of the others. As I expected, the opponents were the four hall masters of the Divine Wind Sect. When they reached the various spots, they started a series of devouring operations. "

"Huh?" When Tian Gan and Xun Feng heard this, they were astonished. They had always thought of their master as the number one divine being in this world, but they didn't expect that there would be someone who could match up to him.

"Crap." As he spoke, his face suddenly turned solemn, as though he had sensed something bad.

"What's wrong? Master. " When Tian Gan saw his master's worry, he also knew that something big must have happened.

I'm afraid so, "Tian Gan seemed to also understand his opponent's intentions, and couldn't help but to say uneasily," The opponent did all he could to stir up trouble between the Mo family and Handan, and the purpose is to lead us by the nose, and let us run for our lives between the two places. But when he saw a gap, how could he make a move, he did not hesitate to make a move, and slowly consumed our strength. "As for the current situation, it's just that Handan is empty, it's them …"

"Handan is in danger!" At this time, he clearly knew that he could not afford to waste any more time, so he quickly gave the order, "I think something big must have happened in Handan at this moment, Heaven Gan, you must travel day and night to go to Handan to warn General Li to be careful, you must not let your guard down, you must not waste any more time, otherwise, ten thousand people will be in trouble."

"Yes, disciple will set off immediately." Tian Gan said as he quickly rushed out the door.

"The Mo Family's eight branches are all in trouble, next, it's time for him to set his mind on Moke Manor," Big Brother knew that the situation was already very critical, but he knew that he couldn't afford to be in a state of chaos, otherwise, Mody Gate would be in trouble, so he steeled his heart and spoke decisively, "Xun Feng, come with me to Moke Manor immediately and set out all precautions. A storm is about to come."

"Yes, disciple accepts."

The only pity was that when he understood the reason behind all of this, it was already too late to save the situation. What he did not know was that at this moment, a major change had already happened in Handan, Li Mu was in prison, Sima Shang had been removed from his post, he was imprisoned in his own mansion, Lei Zhen was aware of the traitor but was already in the clutches of his own villain, Li Mu's family was also being hunted down by the army, and up until now, everything had happened too quickly, and aside from the mastermind, no one had expected it. At this very moment, he wondered if this old senior who had surpassed the age of sixty would be able to turn the tide and once again save the hanging Mo Sect.

At the same time, Jing Wuya and Gong Zhuang Rong, who were rushing to Handan, had spent several days and nights traveling on the boat, and had almost arrived at Handan City. To Jing Wuya, the only thought he had was to finish this mission quickly, and then join a great sect. He could learn some skills and defend himself, and then roam the martial arts world leisurely, while at the same time doing so, he could draw his sword and help, and it would also be a good example of how the world was shaking.

"Miss Gongsheng, this place isn't far from Handan City. It seems like we have not seen any trace of the Qin Army on our way here. I believe that the Qin Army has been repelled by Old Man Dazhi, so we can rest assured that we will find a place to stay for the night and then continue our journey."

"Heh heh, Young Master Jing, why didn't you say that you walked along such small paths and were so tired that your stomach rumbled. You even ran away on your horse until only skin and bones remained. Where did you find any trace of the Qin soldiers?"

"This narrow path does not attract much attention and is convenient for travelling. It seems like Miss Gong Zhuang is already used to the life of a rich young lady. I'm afraid that she will not be used to following a prodigal son of the martial arts world."

"You don't say. I'm really not used to it. But, hehe." Even though she wasn't used to saying it, she had no idea how much she wanted to see the Tomb of the Dead in order to see the outside world. However, she suddenly stopped herself from speaking and just covered her mouth as she secretly laughed.

"Alright, I'm not a person who doesn't care for the fairer sex. Since there's a place to stay, I'll stay here for the night." Jing Wuya pointed to the inn not too far away and spoke without thinking.

"Then, Young Master Jing, please." Then, Gong LuoRong took advantage of the situation and said.

"Wait, you can't call me Young Master Jing. Although this place is an inn, it's still a wilderness place. We have to address each other as husband and wife, firstly, it won't easily arouse suspicion, and secondly, it's better to look after each other." After all, Jing Wuya was someone who had run through the martial arts world. Under such circumstances, he knew how to be safe.

"Fine then. It's up to you. In any case, you and I have paid respects to the heavens and earth. Although there is no true husband and wife, there is still the name of husband and wife. Please, husband." This was the first time this male loser was out of the martial arts world, so she would do whatever Jing Wuya said.

"Slow, this is still not enough." Jing Wuya sized up Gongsheng Rong and suddenly felt that something was missing.

"Why can't I? Young Master Jing? "

"But I'm in a hurry to leave home, how can I bring my usual clothes with me?" Even though it made sense when Gongsheng Rong heard Jing Wuya's words, she was still quite worried.

"You don't have to worry about that. I have my ways." Jing Wuya only rolled his eyes behind his back and snickered secretly.

On this deserted path, there was indeed an inn called the "Apricot Flower Inn". The origin of the name was the apricot forest surrounding the inn, and every time a spring breeze blew, the place would be filled with apricot flowers. From afar, one could only see a sea of apricot flowers, and this inn was surrounded by the sea of flowers, making it hard to distinguish. In addition, this place was very remote and there were very few customers, so it was hard for normal people to notice this place. Perhaps this inn wasn't set up to make a living, but rather existed to decorate this desolate land.

At the same time, two people entered the room. One of them wore a cloth cloth as he wore sackcloth, making him look like a peasant farmer. The other was handsome, but he had his hair tied up in a bun with a thin piece of cloth.

If one did not carefully identify them, no one would have thought that these two people were Jing Wuya and Gong Zhuang Rong. This Jing Wuya was truly smart. This country farmer was acting quite vividly, and in order to not arouse suspicion, he even pasted a pinch of horse mane on his lips. However, this fake beard was quite realistic, and if one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't see it. However, the way Jing Wuya was dressed had actually made Gong Wugrong laugh. She felt it was laughable every time she saw Jing Wuya's appearance. As for Jing Wuya, he didn't care about his comical dressing and kept reminding Gong Zhuorong that this country bumpkin shouldn't have too much of a lady's temperament, in case others saw through her.

"Shop owner, are there any more good rooms?" As soon as Jing Wuya entered, he asked the shopkeeper at the counter.

"There are plenty of upper rooms. This is a small village store, so we don't have many guests. Normally, not even half of the guest rooms are full. So please feel free to ask us for a few rooms." Taking a closer look, the shopkeeper was a clever woman. As soon as she spoke, a smile blossomed on her face. Her warm attitude made people feel extremely comfortable.

"Then give me one."

"Yo, you two only need one room?" The shopkeeper had thought that he could do more business, but when he heard this, the blush on his face immediately turned into a haze as he said unhappily.

"I say, storekeeper, I think you don't have any expectations for others, right? I've never heard that this couple has to sleep in separate rooms." Seeing that the shopkeeper was so snobbish, Jing Wuya couldn't help but mock him.

"Oh wow, so it's a couple. Sorry, I thought they were the same as those people just now. They were really stingy. A bunch of people squeezed into two rooms. Seriously, even if they slept on the floor, I wouldn't be able to sleep." The storekeeper knew that he was in the wrong and quickly began to explain.

"Really?" That's really very stingy. No wonder you're so unhappy, Manager. "Jing Wuya thought it was funny because he felt that it was necessary to use such extreme methods to deal with such a snobbish person." Alright, bring us to the top room. "

"Please come with me." After the shopkeeper had finished speaking, he led Jing Wuya and Gongsheng Rong upstairs.

When the two of them entered the room, the shopkeeper also said, "If anything happens, shout downstairs," and left as well.

When the shopkeeper left, Gong Zhuang Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing again. When Jing Wuya saw her like this, he couldn't help but ask, "I say, Miss Gong Zhuang, why are you laughing now?"

"Wrong." The male loser Rong pointed at Jing Wuya and continued laughing in secret.

"What's wrong?" Jing Wuya was even more confused. Suddenly, he noticed the mistake in his words just now and quickly corrected himself, "Oh, then may I ask my wife what laughable things you have to say? This should do, right?"

When Gongsheng Rong heard Jing Wuya's words, she slowly put away her smile and said leisurely, "When you asked the shopkeeper for a room just now, I thought it was funny how you were bargaining."

"What's so funny about that? Of course we have to act a bit more like husband and wife. Otherwise, what if someone else sees through it?" Besides, I'm in the same room as you, so it's better to look out for each other if something happens. " Jing Wuya spoke with conviction and reason.

"You're right. So you want to share the same bed as me?" That male loser Rong purposely said.

"My wife, don't worry. You will sleep on the bed tonight, and I will sleep on the floor." Right now, Jing Wuya was speaking with righteousness, as if he was a righteous man.

"Fine, I didn't force you. Originally, this bed was pretty big. It should be more than enough for two people. Since you insist on sleeping on the floor, then don't force yourself." After that, she laid down on the bed and rolled around from time to time, purposely wanting to test the comfort of the bed.

When Jing Wuya heard these words, he couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. He remembered how he had spoken righteously and acted like a righteous gentleman, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times. However, he couldn't take it back now that he had spoken, so he could only endure it in his stomach.

Not only did the weather turn cold quickly, but the turning point of the day was also fast. Before long, dusk fell, and the inn's people had all closed their doors and were preparing to sleep, Jing Wuya and Gongsheng Rong being no exception. After all, people were already tired from the journey these past few days, and they were all looking forward to a good rest.

Just as Jing Wuya was about to undress and go to bed, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and immediately after, candles lit up in the living room downstairs, and he could vaguely hear the shopkeeper and a few of his younger brothers shouting, "Coming, coming!", before the hall became noisy, so noisy that no one could sleep peacefully. So he slowly moved to the door of the cabin and stepped through it. Through the crack, he could see what was going on in the hall.

"What's wrong? "Hubby." At this point, Gongsheng Rong also noticed that something was amiss. She gently got up from the bed and asked Jing Wuya in a low voice.

Jing Wuya quickly put his index finger to his lips and made a "hush" gesture when he saw that Gong ZhuoRong had stood up as well. He said softly, "Someone big is downstairs. It seems like we won't be able to have peace tonight."

When Gongfei Rong heard this, she looked through the crack in the door and saw a group of people in the hall wearing plain clothes, bamboo hats, and tiger boots. They seemed to be saying something to the shopkeeper.

"They look like a group of wandering martial artists." Gongsheng Rong looked at the group of people and said in a low voice.

"I don't think so. If I'm not wrong, they should be from the public." Jing Wuya sized up the group of people and said confidently.

"Oh? "How do you know?" "What are you guys thinking?" Gong LuoRong looked at the group of people again and asked in confusion.

"Look at them. Although they are dressed in plain clothes, they are dressed in the same style. This shows that they are all of the same organization. The sabers they were carrying on their left side were all of the same style, and they were all equipped with the same sabre at the left side. This was extremely consistent with the weapon equipment requirements of those in the public service. The most suspicious thing is that when one of the group of people entered the door, he immediately sat by the side. And when one of those people spoke to him, he lowered his head, bent over, covered his lips and spoke softly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to send an outsider who had nothing to do with the Mo family's eighth son to the Mo family to retrieve their secret map.

On the other hand, Jing Wuya's guess was correct. The group of black-clothed people in the hall downstairs were none other than the army of the State of Zhao, and the one leading them was the internal guard Guo Kai was very proud of — Eight Hades, Xiang Chong. Xiang Fu knew that the Li family would not dare to walk on the official road, so he chased after them day and night from that path, constantly asking for information along the way. This time, he had already chased them to the Apricot Flower Inn.

"I say, sir, there really aren't any imperial court criminals staying at our store. If you don't believe me, you can search carefully." The shopkeeper smiled apologetically as he put on an innocent look.

The man in black wanted to send someone to search, but the leader waved his hand and interrupted them.

"General, you …" The black-clothed man saw that the leader did not agree with what he had done, and hurriedly whispered in confusion.

"Tonight is already very late, so let's not disturb everyone's rest. We'll search again tomorrow morning." Xiang Chong had a calm expression as he spoke at a casual pace.

"Okay." When the black-clothed man heard his leader's words, he did not say anything else. He turned around and shouted at the shopkeeper, "Lady Boss, pick ten rooms for us." He then took out an ingot of official silver and threw it on the table.

When the shopkeeper saw that the silver ingot was no less than fifty liang, his eyes lit up like a flower. While carefully collecting the silver, he said with a smile, "I have some in my room, I have some." After that, he shouted to the employees behind him, "Ah Fu, Ah Wang, quickly bring the guests to the Sky Room!"

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, the two waiters behind him led the group of men in black up the stairs and into the Sky Room.

At this moment, it wasn't just the idle Jing Wuya who was watching this scene. There was even a person whose line of sight never left the scene downstairs. This person was Li Mu's "Flying Cloud," guard commander, General Zhang Xian. That night, because he had received news in advance from Ni Ze, he dashed off with Ni Ze to lead Li Mu's family along a small path, all the way until they were escorted to this inn. The miserly person that the shopkeeper had complained to earlier was precisely this person. In order to prevent his goal from being expanded, he only needed two rooms, one for Li Mu's family, and a few guards to stay next door so that he could keep an eye on everything that was happening around him. At this moment, he realized that the person who came downstairs was not some rogue cultivator but an official of the State of Zhao. He became anxious and worried, and when he saw the officer heading upstairs, he quickly closed the door and extinguished the candle flame.

But perhaps what Zhang Xian did not expect was that his minute movements did not escape the eyes of this busybody, Jing Wuya. It turned out that the location of Jing Wuya's chamber was quite a coincidence that it happened to be directly opposite Zhang Xian's chamber. Thus, when he was observing the situation downstairs, he inadvertently discovered that there were people observing the situation downstairs. When he realized that Zhang Xian was panicking with an anxious expression on his face, he guessed something, so he turned around and said to the male official, "It seems that something big is going to happen tonight. The old friend in the room opposite ours is the person the government is looking for downstairs."

"Oh? How do you know? "

"Hehe, this is a chance that cannot be revealed." Jing Wuya intentionally kept them in suspense as he snickered.

Upon hearing his words, Gong Zhuang Rong was too lazy to ask anymore, because she also believed that he had his reasons for Jing Wuya's deduction.

As for Jing Wuya, he was also a busybody. Either he didn't run into someone who liked to watch the show, or else he would have to investigate thoroughly and find out what happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep that night. Thus, he quietly instructed Gong Zhuang Rong to rest first. While it was still late at night, he quietly got up and walked through the corridor. He leaned over the door of Zhang Xian's room and listened to the sounds coming from within.

"Xiang Chong's guards have already chased us to this point. We need to think of a way to escape."

"There's no need to think about it. General Zhang, first take the Li family members and leave in the dark of the night. I'll delay them."

"Absolutely not, Xiang Chong came prepared this time, how can you fight against so many trained guards by yourself?" I'll stall them, you take the general's family first. "

"The general wants me to lead everyone and flee, but I have to die here. At that time, I will see how my master will explain this to him and how he will live up to the teachings of the Mo family!"

"Lady Ce Ze, don't say anymore. Great General has treated me with such kindness, and even if I have ten lives, it won't be enough to compensate him. If this lowly life of Zhang Xian can be exchanged for the life of a family of Great Generals, then I will die with no regrets." Moreover, you are the one who knows the most about this journey to Moke Manor, so don't argue with me about it. "

When Jing Wuya was outside the door, he felt that the voice of the person speaking was very familiar. Now that he heard Zhang Xian call out 'Lady Ce Ze', he was instantly overjoyed. The 'venomous woman' in his heart almost rushed out from his mouth. But soon after, he realized the seriousness of the situation. From the conversation between Ce Ze and Zhang Xian, he could easily tell that the family they wanted to protect tonight was General Li Mu's family. Although he still didn't know what had happened to General Li Mu, from the current situation, he could tell that Li Mu had indeed met with a calamity. Furthermore, the group of Liu Family members were also in danger, so he immediately felt that his curiosity had struck the right target.

"Alright, since General Zhang is so righteous, let's not talk too much. I'll lead the Li family members out the back door in a while. General Zhang, take care of yourself."

"Lady Ce Ze, take care."

He wanted to knock on the door and enter, but at this time he heard subtle noises coming from downstairs. So he found a remote corner and whispered into his ear.

If there's really a fugitive from Li Mu's family in this shop, they will definitely sneak out the back door when they hear of our movements. You should quickly ambush people around the back door of the inn, and kill them if you discover any movement. This Eight-sided Yama Xiang Chong was indeed not someone to be trifled with.

"Yes, your subordinate will arrange it now."

Damn it, Jing Wuya's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Xiang Chong had said to his subordinates. Just now, he heard that that group of people were discussing the matter of Stellar Night's escape, didn't they just happen to be ambushed by that Xiang Chong? No, he definitely could not let the group of people fall into the trap. At this moment, he needed to think of a way to make the group of people preparing to leave understand the situation in the shortest amount of time possible. Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, he suddenly saw the Sky Room. A risky plan flashed through his mind, and he rushed over without saying a word.

"My wife, quickly open the door! Quickly open the door and let me in!"

Just as the group of people prepared to leave, they suddenly heard a clamor outside the door and immediately became suspicious. Thus, Zhang Xian quietly opened some cracks in the window and peeked out.

Outside the door, he saw a country bumpkin knocking on the door of the 'Sky' sign, making a lot of noise. After a short while, a burly man came out from another room and rushed in front of the country bumpkin, shouting: "Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? Chatty here, look here, this is a room with the name of heaven, where did your wife come from?!"

He hastily raised his head to look at the door plaque and apologized, "This big brother here is truly sorry. I came out to relieve you just now, but you see that this room looks pretty much the same, yet when you returned, you did not know that you went into the wrong room. I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry …"

"Scram, the next time I see you, I will make you look good!" The burly man yelled and casually pushed the country bumpkin five Zhang away.

The country bumpkin got up from the ground, and before he could wipe the dust off his body, he meekly cried out "I'm sorry," and retreated to the side.

"Strange." This showed that he was suspicious.

"General Zhang, what's wrong?" Realizing that Zhang Xian was suspicious, Li Ze hurriedly asked.

"Xiang Chong's underling wanted to stay in this Sky Room. However, no one came to open the door after that country bumpkin knocked on the door for a long time. Instead, someone came out from the room a few rooms away and chased him away. [Is there nobody in this room?]

"Ah?" Where did that Xiang Chong go? " When Ce Ze heard this, he could not help but become worried.

"Since he's not in his room, he must be lying in ambush outside. Could it be that the scene downstairs earlier was caused by Xiang Chong trying to scare us off?" At this moment, Zhang Xian reacted and quickly stopped Ce Ze. "Lady Ce Ze, please stay here first. It seems that you won't be able to leave tonight. I think it's better to think of a way to deal with this in the morning."

After listening to Zhang Xian's analysis, Ce Ze also understood the suspicious aspects of it. Thus, he could only arrange for everyone to take a step back. After she had a careful discussion with Zhang Xian, they could only come up with other plans. However, she also knew that it wouldn't be long before dawn arrived. If they didn't have a plan before dawn, then all of them would probably die here.

The time spent in an atmosphere of nervousness and uneasiness was always short. On this night, before Zhang Xian and company could close their eyes, the crowing of the golden chicken had already broken into the dawn. The Apricot Flower Inn had gone through a night of dark waves, but it was still as calm as before. The shopkeeper and the waiters had also gotten up early to clean up. However, none of them knew what had happened last night that shook their souls.

At this moment, the country couple seemed to have had an extremely unpleasant night, because when the country bumpkin went downstairs early in the morning, he yawned loudly and muttered: "What lousy inn is this? The paths are like a maze. I walked into the wrong room and got beaten up, so I didn't sleep peacefully all night."

"The child's father, you're still talking. Last night's commotion caused the child to wake up, and he kept talking to me about how scared he was. It caused me to not be able to rest well for the whole night." The village girl was also incessantly muttering to the rough man.

When the female owner saw that the rough guy was unhappy, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, you must be feeling wronged. Your suggestion to improve the store definitely won't happen again."

"What do you mean not to do it again? You are obviously bullying us country folk, aren't you?" I won't come even if I'm beaten to death. " The rough man had a face full of unhappiness as he impatiently spoke to the shopkeeper. He casually took out a small piece of silver and threw it on the counter.

"Customer, don't be angry. It's all my fault. It's not easy for my store to open a small business here. How about this, I only charged you half of last night's room money, how about it?" When the shopkeeper saw that the rough man was still unwilling to quell the anger in his heart, he hurriedly found a way to curry favor with him.

However, his attitude did not change too quickly. He could only find a way out and say, "This is still like a human speech. Fine, if there's a chance, let's take a look around and see if there are any improvements in your store."

"Sure, sure, sure." The storekeeper hastily replied.

That coarse fellow didn't have the heart to listen to her flattery. He only turned to
