Under Shentu Jiaojiao's signal, several disciples in black costumes stepped up from left to right, helped them up, stroked their chests and rubbed their legs to restore their strength.
Shentu Jiaojiao went on to say: "Fan Ze is not effective on duty, so he will resign for the time being, and send him to Dingzhou Hall to be a disciple of the punishment hall for two years. This year's salary will be withheld as a warning to everyone else. Where is the deputy helmsman?"
"Zhu Lie is here!" A burly man with red eyes stepped out and knelt down on the ground.
"You are in charge here temporarily, waiting for Shancheng's order."
"yes!"
Seeing that the previous trivial matters had been dealt with, Feng Qingyan winked at Shentu Jiaojiao and asked her to ask about what happened this afternoon.
Shentu Jiaojiao naturally paid attention to it, and asked solemnly: "This afternoon, the Han family in Zhenxi was slaughtered today, but what did you do!?"
The eyes of all the disciples flicked around, and finally landed on Zhu Lie, the "Fire-eyed Suanni", Zhu Lie hurried out of the crowd, and said in a low voice: "It's not my subordinates who want to report to you. It's Dongxiangu's sub-helm, and Shangfeng didn't order to attack, so we won't make a move anyway. Besides, the Han family has a 'Throat Piercing Spear' Jin Tonghan, who is considered to be very powerful among the innate masters. Fan Duo and I Even if the Lord joins forces, we may not be sure of winning, so what about Tumen?"
The original rudder owner "Iron Harrier" Fan Ze also nodded in agreement.
When Shentu Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately exchanged glances with Feng Qingyan, and then asked: "Then do you know if my father specially sent someone here to do it?"
Zhu Lie was taken aback, but Fan Ze who was next to him answered first: "If you want to answer the eldest lady, this is even more impossible. The rules in the city are very strict, even if the city lord personally ordered the family to be destroyed, it is impossible not to even greet the local people." Just hit it straight away, after all, we are familiar with each other, and we can't go wrong if we cooperate, right..."
Shentu Jiaojiao was surprised when she heard that, while Feng Qingyan frowned and bowed his head in silence.
Shentu Jiaojiao thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "From now on, be careful about who you come and go with, and report anything suspicious immediately."
"Yes!" Zhu Lie kowtowed again.
Shentu Jiaojiao immediately remembered something, and said: "There is a person who is quite suspicious and lives in the inn in the city."
"Which person..."
"Wearing white clothes, he looks like a child of an aristocratic family, with Ertong Qin and Jian." Shentu Jiaojiao continued: "You go and find out his details. Remember, don't startle the enemy, especially don't do it."
"Yes!" Of course Zhu Lie had no choice but to obey.
What Shentu Jiaojiao wanted them to pay attention to was the young man in white. Although he knew that the young man in white was not the murderer of the Han family, but the other party was full of malice towards Zhenyue Mountain City. It was right to find out the origin of the other party in advance. Besides, Shentu Jiaojiao was still angry with the three masters and servants, and she wanted to punish them.
…
Ye Qingxuan passed through the Zixia Pavilion, turned two turns, and after bypassing a huge rock, he suddenly saw a huge gully lying in front of him.
The black mist in Juegu is thick, and it is difficult to see the scenery below five feet. Opposite is the inner gate palace of Sushang Palace. The distance between the two mountains is 100 meters, which is extremely dangerous.
On a cliff on the right, on the smooth stone wall, there are three big blood-red characters of "Iron Chain Bridge".
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head and forgot to take a look at the Juehe that blocked the road, but seeing the black mist flowing in the valley like clouds, people couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.
At this time, it was dusk and the sun was setting in the west, but there was still strong sunlight in the sky, but this strong sunlight couldn't penetrate the heavy flowing black fog in the ravine, instead it appeared more black and white, a little more A sense of terror.
A gust of mountain wind blew by, and there was a sound of rattling chains in the black mist, which immediately made Ye Qingxuan startled, and couldn't help but think of the duel venue "Life and Death Chain Bridge" in the "Wulin Holy Land".
The scene at that time was similar to now, and it was even much safer than here because of the clearly visible iron chains.
In front is the inner gate of Sushang Palace. Could it be that all the disciples there have the ability to pass through the iron lock independently? It's incredible.
Ye Qingxuan focused his eyes, and immediately found that about five meters below the cliff on this side, there was a thick black iron chain in the black mist, tremblingly connected to the opposite mountain peak.
Ye Qingxuan observed for a moment, and confirmed that only this iron chain can lead to the opposite mountain.
With a secret sigh, Ye Qingxuan floated leisurely on the iron chain, his feet slipped, but he almost fell.
It turned out that because of the low temperature and black mist, a thin layer of black ice was frozen on the iron chain, which made the iron chain extremely smooth. Coupled with the raging winds between the peaks, even a little carelessness could lead to death danger.
Even if I was beaten to death, I would not believe that people in Su Sushang Palace used this iron chain to get in and out of the inner gate.
But whether he believed it or not, there was no other way to go up the mountain now anyway, so Ye Qingxuan could only grit his teeth, concentrate, and walked quickly towards the opposite side.
With Ye Qingxuan's lightness kung fu strength, it is no longer a problem to cross this iron chain. Although he is still a little nervous, it is not difficult to cross. The iron chain was blown up and down, but Ye Qingxuan felt that it was more interesting, his feet seemed to be glued together on the iron chain, even though the iron chain was flying, he still galloped forward as before.
It's just that something Ye Qingxuan never expected happened at this moment.
The original black iron chain, when Ye Qingxuan galloped through two-thirds of the distance, suddenly there was a light "ding" from the opposite mountain peak, and the hundred-meter black iron chain broke in response!
Ye Qingxuan was galloping at this time, but suddenly his feet were empty, the iron chain lost its link and fell suddenly.
At this critical moment, Ye Qingxuan suddenly performed the magic skill of [Capturing Dragon and Riding Crane], grabbed the falling iron chain, and swung it upwards. The other end of the falling iron chain immediately rose more than ten meters.
Ye Qingxuan didn't allow any mistakes, so he jumped up immediately, stepped on the trembling iron chain with the sole of his foot, and flew nearly 20 meters away with the momentum, and floated lightly to the top of the opposite mountain.
[Maha Polo Kung Fu] Looked closely at the surroundings, but did not find any trace of anyone.
Turning around and looking carefully at the black iron chain, it turned out that the joint at this end of the iron chain was sawed off by eight parts with a wire saw, leaving only a tiny bit of link together, which can withstand the mountain wind without being caught. Blowing off, it can be broken in the shortest time after Ye Qingxuan climbed on the iron chain.
The enemy obviously planned to deal with him in advance!
Ye Qingxuan's mind immediately became gloomy several times.
The other party didn't want to stop him from going up the mountain, but now it seems that he wanted to kill himself.
Ye Qingxuan snorted coldly, patted the "thousand receivers" behind him, walked forward with his head held high.
Passing through a stone gate, the terrain in front was slightly open, and when they came to an attic, they heard the clanging of weapons, and eight female disciples of Sushang Palace jumped out of the corridors on both sides of the attic, equally heroic. Sassy, each holding a long sword.
The overall quality of this group of women is undoubtedly much higher than that of the Sushang Palace disciples of the outer sect, and their cultivation has generally entered the middle and late stages of the "Earth Origin Realm". The most important thing is that these female disciples are all young, In their teens and twenties, it is obvious that this group of female disciples are the elite disciples of the inner sect of Sushang Palace. At this age, they have reached this level, and their future prospects are limitless.
Seeing the formation of these sixteen people rushing forward, Ye Qingxuan formed a group of four and set up the [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation], the sixteen people were divided into four groups, and these four groups set up a larger one outside. [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation].
Unexpectedly, this [Sifang Beihua Huahua Sword Formation] can be superimposed infinitely outwards according to the number of people. Such a light, based on this sword formation, can build a giant sword formation with hundreds of thousands of people, and its power must be extraordinary.
Ye Qingxuan, who had already experienced the [Sifang Beihua Huahua Sword Formation], felt terrified when he saw it, and said to himself: "The original sword formation is already very sharp, even if I rely on peerless lightness skills and strong internal strength to force it Breaking the formation, and at this time, the opponent actually has four groups of sword formations unfolding at the same time, and there are more complicated changes among them, so it must be more difficult to deal with. Fighting with this formation is a bit difficult."
At the moment, he didn't dare to hold his breath, and calmly restrained his breath, and walked slowly into the sword array.
At this time, the sky was getting late, and the sixteen young female disciples raised their swords together in unison, and their movements were uniform, like one person, which showed that the other party had deep intentions in the sword formation.
Then look at those sixteen faces with picturesque features, the oldest one is only in his early twenties, the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old, all of them have frosty faces, comparable to the Mei Yinxue he saw at first.
Ye Qingxuan had a thought: "Competing with these future masters of Sushang Palace, even if you win, it would be disgraceful. In the future, you will offend several generations of Sushang Palace disciples, and the gain is not worth the loss. It's more important to see Xue Yin in the mountains in the morning, why bother with me?" Are these people messing around?" Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan's body flickered, and his body, which was originally walking towards the sword formation, suddenly dodged to the left, instantly widening the distance from the sixteen female disciples, and then slanting towards After a thrust, he rushed towards the back mountain.
Seeing that he was silent, the sixteen female disciples suddenly ran far away to the left, and immediately understood his intentions, but they didn't move. They just gave an order, and the four groups of sword formations collectively turned back and moved towards Ye Ye. Qing Xuan chased after him.
With an unhurried momentum, he paid more attention to blocking Ye Qingxuan's back retreat, rather than rushing to catch up with Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan galloped forward, and he was also very surprised by the reaction of the disciples of Sushang Palace behind him.
At this time, the mountain road is more rugged, and sometimes you have to pass sideways between the cliffs. After less than a quarter of an hour, the sun sets and the moon is covered by dark clouds, and the mountains suddenly become dark.
Ye Qingxuan said in his heart: "I'm not familiar with the terrain here. The disciples of Sushang Palace are just covering me like this. I don't know what plans the other party has. Maybe there is something waiting for me in front of me. I have to guard against it." Thinking of this , Ye Qingxuan slowed down and walked slowly.
As soon as he slowed down, the sixteen Sushang Palace disciples who were far behind finally followed him, but they slowed down after a hundred meters away, maintaining this distance, neither approaching nor leaving, just following him like this .
After walking for a while, the clouds parted and the moon appeared, and the mountains were full of light. Not far away, the third mountain was already in sight, and my heart was calm, when I suddenly heard the breathing of a large group of people faintly behind the rocks in front of me. Although the sound of breath was faint, Ye Qingxuan's enhanced sense of hearing was immediately aware of the large number of people.
He took a deep breath, tightened the belt on the Taoist robe, and turned around the mountain road.
There is a huge round flat in front of you, surrounded by mountains, and there is a big pond at the foot of the mountain, the water waves reflect the moon, and the silver light is shining. Hundreds of disciples of Sushang Palace stood sparsely in front of the pool, and in the middle of the circle, about 20 disciples at the peak of the Earth Element Realm stood proudly, and four female disciples at the early innate stage stood at the front, all It is a monk's uniform with a Taoist crown, holding a long sword in his hand, and the light of the sword is shining brightly.
Ye Qingxuan took a closer look, it turned out that the twenty elite disciples in front were all in a group of four, no less than five [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation], the momentum is really extraordinary.
Ye Qingxuan stood still suddenly, and the four [Sifang Beihua Containing Flower Sword Formation] behind him immediately caught up quickly, and set up a formation behind them to block Ye Qingxuan's escape route, while the five sword formations in front immediately spread out to the left and right, a total of nine The [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation] instantly became one.
Nine groups of [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation], a total of 36 people stood still, and the momentum immediately changed drastically.
Nine groups of sword formations, each standing in a strange position, mutually generate and restrain each other, and serve as horns for each other. The rise and fall of yin and yang is like a flower petal that keeps blooming and shrinking.
Ye Qingxuan was secretly startled: "This formation is definitely not the [Sifang Beihua Huajian Formation]. Flower Sword Formation] is just the basic move of this set of sword formations that I have never heard of before, the truly powerful formation of Sushang Palace should be the one in front of me!"
Ye Qingxuan was extremely cautious, and immediately stepped forward.
Only one person in the formation pursed his lips and whistled, and the thirty-six Sushang court ladies and disciples quickly dispersed, front or back, the formations changed, and Ye Qingxuan was surrounded in the middle. Everyone pointed their swords at the ground, stared at Ye Qingxuan, and remained silent.
Ye Qingxuan cupped his hands and turned around, and said: "I sincerely go up the mountain to beg your sect to release my relatives, Ye will be rewarded generously, please don't stop me."
A female disciple in the formation with a somewhat malevolent appearance shouted coquettishly: "Your Excellency, don't think that you are good at martial arts, so you don't know what is good or bad. As a monk, your behavior is no different from that of a traitor. The poor nun answered. This is the last good advice from my friend. Since ancient times, color has misled people. Your Excellency’s efforts of more than ten years of cold and heat should not be wasted in one day.
I, Sushang Palace, have never met you, and we have no quarrel, why did you bother to trick my mountain disciples to follow you down the mountain? I also invite fellow Taoists to go down the mountain immediately, so that we may meet again in the future. "She spoke in a low voice, but every word was clear and clear. It was obvious that she had deep inner strength and her words were sincere, and she was sincerely advising.
Ye Qingxuan was angry and funny at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have said that nothing happened to deceive Yinxue. Ye is open-minded. My fate with Yinxue has its own destiny. Your sect can't be more sincere. Bless the two of us, why bother to stop? As for the monsters and women, I don't know anything about it, but let me meet Mrs. Jingyi, Mei Yinxue and others, and everything will be decided."
"Stubbornly obsessed!"
The nun Liao Chen yelled awe-inspiringly, and said that she swung her long sword in the air, the blade struck the wind, and the sound hummed for a long time, showing her extremely strong internal strength.
All the female disciples swung their long swords, thirty-six sword blades flew back and forth, a gust of wind was stirred up, and the light of the swords formed a net of light.
"Since your Excellency is so stubborn, if you want to go up the mountain, come and experience the power of the [Nine Layers Thirty-six Grade Lotus Sword Formation] that I have secretly passed down from Sushang Palace."
Ye Qingxuan sighed softly, walked into the center of the sword array like a leisurely stroll, and said: "In this case... let's make a move!"
…
As the night deepened, the lights in the thirteen rudders of Zhenyue Mountain City were brightly lit.
Shentu Jiaojiao and Feng Qingyan had already left, and Zhu Lie, the co-pilot leader, was drinking with some of his confidants. He waited for so many years to get this fat job until today. Anyway, it is a very happy thing.
But he still waited until Shentu Jiaojiao and Feng Qingyan went far away and ordered someone to check at the Xinglong Inn before he ordered the table of wine and food to be prepared.
Now he was a bit drunk, so the sound of fighting outside did not feel very real to him.
The others immediately realized something was wrong, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhu, it seems that someone broke into the rudder outside."
Zhu Lie immediately took the case and cursed: "Who is so bold, bring it in and let me teach him a lesson!"
Before the words were finished, there was a "bang", the gate shattered into pieces, and Yan Jueling stood in front of it.
Zhu Lie's drunkenness was dissipated on the spot, and he blurted out, "Who is it?"
"Shu Mountain Yan Jue Ling!"
Yan Jueling's voice, person and sword arrived, and the light of the sword like a horse caught people's eyes.
Zhu Lie was shocked, turned his body over, made two "shua shua", two sword lights flashed at the corners of his eyes, and he saw the blood of two subordinates splashing under Yan Jueling's sword.
"Bring me the knife!" Zhu Lie yelled.
He usually never leaves his sword, but as a helmsman, he has no one to hold the sword for him, so he always feels that he is not dignified enough.
The big man who held the knife for him didn't drink very well, and now he was so drunk that he was reclined on the chair beside him. Although he was not unconscious, his reaction was not so sensitive.
After a while he responded, "Here comes the knife." He walked towards Zhu Lie with the Dapu knife in his hand.
Zhu Lie couldn't wait, he stretched out his hand to get the knife, but before he reached out, the big man fell down with blood spattering.
Pu Dao also choked and fell to the ground.
Zhu Lie rushed to snatch it, the sword light had entered his eyes, and with a quick flash, a bunch of messy hair on his forehead was cut off with a "poof".
Zhu Lie was so angry that he couldn't stop cursing, and asked at the same time: "Why did you come to kill my sect!"
Yan Jueling snorted coldly: "I don't care if the Han family was wiped out by you... But the lives of the two innocent people on the left and right cannot die in vain!"
Zhu Lie stepped back desperately, and at the same time couldn't help shouting: "I, Zhenyue Mountain City, didn't do that!"
"quibble!"
Yan Jueling never doubted what he believed, he didn't even have the slightest thought, and his long sword was merciless, chasing and killing him.
Zhu Lie broke out in a cold sweat from the fright, his alcoholism subsided, he dodged left and right and only cared for the weapon.
He finally snatched a thick-backed knife from the weapon rack, but unfortunately, the moment he held the knife in his hand, Yan Jueling's sword had pierced his forehead.
Zhu Lie, the "Fire Eye Suan Ni" who had just taken office not long ago, was killed!
The people in Zhenyue Mountain City saw that Zhu Lie was also stabbed down, it was not a big mess, they immediately ran for their lives!
Qin Tong and Jian Tong were already waiting outside the door. Although they were young, their swordsmanship was quite pungent, and many of the fleeing mountain city disciples were cut down by them one after another.
Yan Jueling's sword was even more merciless, like cutting melons and vegetables, the snow-white cloak was already splashed with countless spots of blood.
The blood is in full bloom like spring flowers, but the people in Zhenyue Mountain City are shocking!
…
With steaming boiling water and a large wooden barrel, Yan Jueling felt unprecedentedly comfortable soaking in the wooden barrel.
The blood-spattered cloak was hanging on the wall opposite him.
Yan Jueling's gaze froze suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief, and said, "What beautiful blood!"
Qinjian Ertong was waiting on the side, but he couldn't see where the beauty of blood was.
"There's nothing more enjoyable than killing people." Yan Jueling's voice seemed to be moaning.
Qin Tong and Jian Tong glanced at each other, but did not make a sound.
Yan Jueling immediately burst out laughing.
…
The night was getting darker, and in the deep forest not far from the Pingtung sub-rudder, countless black shadows squirmed in the shadows.
After a while, a figure galloped quickly from outside the forest, knelt down on the ground immediately after entering the forest, and shouted in a low voice: "Sir, all the disciples of the Pingtung sub-helm of Zhenyue Mountain City were killed, and none of them Escape!"
A hoarse voice sounded like an old raven being strangled by someone's neck: "Oh? Such a coincidence? It really saved us a lot of trouble... Who did it!?"
"Shushan Sword League, Yan Jueling of Yankong Mountain..."
"Righteous people!? Hehe, hahaha..." A figure flashed, and a man in black wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat appeared in the woodland, "This is really interesting. Spread the news and let them speak black and white. Let the dog eat the dog! Hmph, sometimes, I really like these naive knights..."
A gloomy low laugh** rippled out...
