Xuanyuan Po stood up and Yu walked out of the tent first, only to see Brother Shenhou Fulan standing outside the tent.
Qi Ning saw Senior Brother Lan's solemn expression and vaguely felt that something was not good. Xuanyuan Po had noticed it and asked, "Where are the people from the Five Elements Sect?"
Senior Brother Lan stepped forward and whispered a few words. Xuanyuan Po's face became even more solemn and he asked, "Where is he?"
Senior Brother Lan led the way, and everyone followed Senior Brother Lan to the camp. Before they got close, they saw a large group of people gathered there. When they saw Xuanyuan Po from the Shenhou Mansion approaching, someone immediately greeted him, and everyone moved out of the way. Xuanyuan Po Walking through the crowd with a sullen face, he saw only one person sitting on the grass, with disheveled hair and trembling body.
Xuanyuan Po frowned, and someone came close to him and said softly: "Colonel Xuanyuan, he is from the Five Elements Sect." He pointed at the man sitting on the grass, "He is the only one from the Five Elements Sect who has returned. "
Xuanyuan Po knelt down, took a closer look, and asked, "Where are the others?"
"He is the only one who has returned." Someone said, "Just now we were patrolling the outside of the camp and saw a figure rushing towards us. We thought he was from the Black Lotus Sect. When we took a closer look, we found that he was wearing the clothes of the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect was led by the Master of the Five Elements Sect. They all came out of the cave, but he was the only one seen."
Qi Ning was also in the crowd at this time. He only saw the man with disheveled hair, blood stains all over his body, and blood on his face. People in the world have seen a lot of blood. Although they didn't take it seriously, this man was shaking all over as if he was out of his mind. The appearance still surprised everyone.
"What's your name?" Xuanyuan Po stared at the man and asked in a deep voice, "Why haven't the others from the Five Elements Sect come back?"
The man raised his head slightly, his face covered with blood. It was really hard to see his face clearly, but his face was full of horror, and he murmured: "Ghosts... there are ghosts on the mountain... there are ghosts on the mountain, they... they are all dead...!"
Although many people had already guessed it, their expressions changed slightly when they heard this person say it, and there was a burst of noise among the crowd.
Senior Brother Lan said in a deep voice: "Don't make any noise."
Everyone immediately fell silent, and Xuanyuan Po asked coldly: "You mean, except you, everyone else in the Five Elements Sect died on the mountain?"
"They're all dead...!" The man's voice was slightly hoarse, "They were all... all killed by evil ghosts. Those evil ghosts want to kill... they want to kill everyone...!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly said disdainfully: "What kind of evil ghost? It must be the demon from the Black Lotus Sect."
"Does any of you know him?" Xuanyuan Po asked.
Someone on the side said: "He seems to be Sun Sheng of the Five Elements Sect. His martial arts is also good. He is the third disciple of the leader of the Five Elements Sect."
Xuanyuan Po nodded slightly. He obviously saw that Sun Sheng was in despair, and ordered: "Take him down to have a rest first, and then come back and report the details."
Immediately, two people went over to help Sun Sheng of the Five Elements Sect and took him down.
"Everyone should disperse for the time being to rest and recuperate their mental and physical strength." Xuanyuan Po stood up and said, "Junior Brother Lan, send more people to patrol around the camp to be on guard against people from the Black Lotus Sect sneaking in."
After everyone dispersed, Zhuge Changting frowned and said: "Although the Five Elements Sect is not good at martial arts, it is very good at hiding its whereabouts. Looking at the world, no sect or sect can compare with them in gathering information. Although Qianwuling is a dark The old home of the Lotus Sect, but it covers a very wide area with overlapping mountains, overgrown trees and weeds, and extremely complex terrain. Even if there are thousands of sect members, they cannot cover all parts of Qianwu Ridge...!" At this point, he paused for a moment before speaking. He whispered: "With the Five Elements Sect's methods, how could it be discovered by them so easily?"
Xuanyuan Po glanced sideways and asked, "What do you think, Master Zhuge?"
Zhuge Changting did not speak, but raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation. Xuanyuan Po knew what he meant. Although everyone dispersed, there were many people in this group who were skilled in martial arts, and some of his words were not convenient for others to hear.
After several people returned to the tent, Zhuge Changting said: "The Five Elements Sect's ability to conceal its whereabouts is one of the best in the world. It is for this reason that the leader of the Five Elements Sect took on the task of detecting the enemy's situation. But a dozen people entered the Qianhu Only one person in Wuling can come back alive, Captain Xuanyuan, don’t you think this is weird?”
"That's why I need the guidance of Master Zhuge." Xuanyuan Po looked very calm.
The Master of the Dragon Pavilion was a bit impatient. Before Zhuge Changting could ask questions, he frowned and asked: "Master Zhuge, do you mean... someone leaked the news that the Five Elements Sect entered Qianwu Ridge?"
Zhuge Changting smiled faintly and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable. The Five Elements Sect also has a lot of grievances in the world. In our camp, there are at least two or three families who have issues with the Five Elements Sect."
Xuanyuan Po looked calm and asked, "You mean to say that the Five Elements Sect was almost wiped out because of a traitor?"
Qi Ning sat aside, squinting his eyes slightly, as if closing his eyes to rest.
"The Lord of Gods issued the Iron-Blooded Message this time, ordering everyone to attack Qianwu Peak. Everyone in the world knows it, and the Black Lotus Sect has naturally known about it for a long time." Zhuge Changting said: "If the Black Lotus Sect operates secretly and bribes several sects to act as internal agents, It may not be impossible. The world is too big and there are many sects, so it is inevitable that the good will be mixed with the bad."
Xuanyuan Po smiled faintly and said: "It's true that people's hearts are unpredictable, but the misfortune encountered by the Five Elements Sect should have nothing to do with the traitor. The Five Elements Sect entering Qianwu Ridge, I think it is not a secret in this camp. Since there is no secret in the camp, Even if it’s a secret, it can’t be considered a secret with the Black Lotus Sect.” He leaned on the chair and said slowly: “The Black Lotus Sect is in the dark, and we are in the open. From the beginning, the information they have is far better than ours. The Five Elements Sect Since their ability to detect intelligence is one of the best in the world, it is impossible for them not to be wary of the other party who already knew that they were going to enter Qianwu Ridge, so the route they chose to enter the mountain must be extremely secretive, and even we cannot know it."
When Zhuge Changting heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "What Captain Xuanyuan said is absolutely true. It seems that I am worrying too much."
"Colonel Xuanyuan, since their whereabouts are secret, why can only one of them come back alive?" Master Long Pavilion frowned and said, "Did they happen to be encountered by people from the Black Lotus Sect?"
"What is the truth of the matter? We can only wait until Sun Sheng wakes up before asking." Xuanyuan Po said: "Although the Five Elements Sect is almost wiped out, the fact that Sun Sheng can come back alive is already very valuable."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard exclamations coming from outside, and then he heard shouts again.
Xuanyuan Po's face darkened, and he walked out of the tent again. As soon as he left the tent, he saw Senior Brother Lan coming over again and reported: "Senior Brother, someone... has been killed...!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The leader of the Tianhe Gang was killed." Senior Brother Lan said clearly.
"Where did he die?" Xuanyuan Po frowned.
Senior Brother Lan said: "It's under the banner of the Tianhe Gang."
Although the Tianhe Gang is not included in the eight gangs and sixteen factions, it is definitely not a small gang in the world. This time, more than 20 people came to help.
The banner of the Tianhe Gang is not as big as that of the Golden Sword Alliance, but it is quite conspicuous among the many banners.
A white crane was embroidered on the flag, fluttering in the night wind. Under the flagpole, a corpse sat leaning against the flagpole, his eyes wide open, but he had long since lost his breath.
There were many people around, and the members of the White Crane Gang were gnashing their teeth. When Xuanyuan Po arrived, Senior Brother Shenhou Fuding was inspecting the body of the leader of the White Crane Gang.
"Junior Brother Ding, where is the fatal injury?" Xuanyuan Po approached with a stern face and asked.
Senior Brother Ding stood up with a very ugly look on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered into Xuanyuan Po's ear. Xuanyuan Po frowned even more, looked around and asked, "Where is the Lord of Luyang Castle?"
Everyone was startled, and one person in the crowd stepped forward and said, "Qiao Simiao, I wonder what Captain Xuanyuan ordered when he summoned you?"
"Where were you just now?" Xuanyuan Po asked.
Qiao Simiao was startled. After all, he was Lao Jianghu. He felt that there was something in his words, but he still said: "According to Colonel Xuanyuan's instructions, I went back to my tent to rest. When I heard a noise coming from outside, I thought it was Captain Xuanyuan summoning me, so I rushed over."
"As far as I know, your Luyang Fort Qiao family has a set of triple-burning hands, which is a unique skill. I wonder if it is true or not?"
Qiao Simiao showed a hint of pride and nodded: "Colonel Xuanyuan is indeed a well-known scholar. Yes, the Triple Burner Hand is our Qiaojiabao's unique skill and has been passed down for six generations."
"In other words, besides you, Lord Qiao, no one else can use the triple-focus hand?" Xuanyuan Po said in a low tone.
Although Qiao Simiao felt that Xuanyuan Po's tone was strange, he still said categorically: "Since it is a unique skill, it should not be taught to anyone else. Only the previous masters of Luyang Castle are qualified to practice the Triple Burner Hand."
Xuanyuan Po walked to the flagpole, knelt down, pulled open the collar of the Tianhe Gang leader's chest, and said calmly: "Then come here and take a look to see what kind of Kung Fu injury this is."
Qiao Simiao hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. After just one glance, his face changed drastically, he took two steps back, and said in a voiceless voice: "No... impossible, this... how is this possible?"
"Then you admit that the leader of the Tianhe Gang was killed by the Sanjiao Hand?"
As soon as these words came out, all the gnashing members of the Tianhe Gang immediately fixed their eyes on Qiao Simiao. Someone shouted: "Okay, it turns out that you, a thief, harmed the gang leader." Several disciples had already rushed forward. , surrounded Qiao Simiao, and Qiao Simiao's disciples immediately rushed out of the crowd and shouted: "Do you want to take action? Luyang Fort is not afraid of your Tianhe Gang."
The people watching around were also shocked.
The Shenhou Mansion has long had an order. Private fights among Jianghu gangs are against the Iron Blood Code and are a taboo in the Shenhou Mansion. There were several gangs fighting privately back then, and the Shenhou Mansion immediately took action to eliminate those gangs from the Jianghu. Cleansing, ruthless attacks, and quick actions. Therefore, the various sects in the Jianghu who love grudges and private fights have not dared to fight with each other in recent years.
Now all the gangs have gathered here to obey the call of the Shenhou Mansion and attack Qianwu Ridge. Many gangs do have deep grudges among themselves, but everyone knows that they must not act rashly at this time, let alone have conflicts. , but now I heard that Tianhe Gang leader died at the hands of Qiao Simiao's Sanjiao, I was naturally shocked.
Some people have already thought in their minds that if Luyang Fort dares to risk the disapproval of the world and kill people at this time, they are afraid that the Shenhou Mansion will immediately clean Luyang Fort on the spot as a warning to others.
But some people who know Qiao Simiao well must be thinking secretly, this Qiao Simiao is not a reckless person, how could he kill someone at this time? Could it be that this guy has gone crazy
