Changshan County, Zhao Town

Yang Zhen, Zhao Yuer, Dai Chenghong, He Shouxin, Mao Tongyuan, Zhao Yunhe and more than ten people stood in a courtyard house with serious expressions on their faces.

There were three dead bodies lying in the room, two of them were mortals dressed as maids; the other was gorgeously dressed, with a broken sword stuck in his chest, and his head was missing.

The third elder, Zhao Yunhu, tore off the sleeve of the deceased and said sadly: "There is a black birthmark on the left arm. It is undoubtedly the fourth child."

This is the residence of Fourth Elder Zhao Yunya, and the identity of the headless corpse has been confirmed.

Most of the elders of the Zhao family went to the county town to attend the wedding of Yang and Zhao today. Zhao Yunya and Yang Zhen had a quarrel, and Changshan also needed someone to stay, so the patriarch chose him.

Unexpectedly, we encountered a sudden disaster.

He Shouxin glanced at Dai Chenghong and saw that there was no expression on her face, so he asked aloud: "Is there anyone alive in the house?"

"No." Zhao Yunhu's face was full of sadness: "The fourth elder's family, more than a hundred people in total, including the six qi-training monks at home, were all killed, and no one survived!"

"No one is alive..." He Shouxin chewed the word and looked around: "Everyone, what do you think?"

……

After receiving the bad news from the Great Elder, they arrived by flying boat, which took less than half an hour.

Zhao Mansion has a teleportation array leading to Zhao Town, but it was no longer possible to teleport at that time. Apparently, the formation on the opposite side had been destroyed.

Dai Chenghong had planned to leave, but she heard that such a tragedy happened, and Yunzhou was within her sphere of influence. It was the right time, so she had to come and see what happened.

Now that she has come, He Shouxin cannot leave, and there are many guests following her. Dai Chenghong saw that Yang Zhen had no intention of stopping her, so he didn't bother to take care of her.

At this time, Yang Zhen was standing in a corner, staring at a pot of green plants in front of her, her consciousness having gone to the bluestone space.

He quickly found Yiyi in a separate space.

Xiao Xiancao sat on the ground, her whole body shrouded in a thin green light, her eyes closed tightly, as if she was asleep.

"Yiyi, Yiyi." Yang Zhen called several times.

No response.

His consciousness continued to explore, but before he touched the green light, a hot burning sensation came, causing him to shrink back immediately.

Yiyi is refining Shenqi's heart fire, but at the same time, she is also angry with him.

Today, the Jin Dan Master was present. The little girl had a restless and restless temper. Yang Zhen was worried that the other party would notice something strange, and she did not have time to take care of her, so after much deliberation, she decided to let her stay in the space and not come out.
p>

You actually don’t allow me to participate in such a lively and fun event. I’m so angry!

So Yiyi got angry, and the consequences were serious. She simply closed her six senses and completely immersed herself in the refining of Shenqi's heart fire, ignoring the outside world to avoid being upset.

It's better now. Broken Eucalyptus's golden finger is gone, and Yang Zhen smiles bitterly in her heart.

……

"The fourth elder of the noble family was pierced through the heart by a sharp blade and died immediately. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, there were probably two murderers, and their cultivation level was comparable to that of the deceased..."

"The murder weapon was a first-level mid-level long sword, which was broken by the deceased's internal force. The foundation-building monk used the magical weapon of an ordinary Qi-training monk, which is a bit strange..."

"The defense formation of this mansion was not activated, and the deceased was attacked in a hurry. After killing the four elders, the murderer quickly controlled all parts of the mansion, killed several monks one by one, and blocked them from reporting to the outside world. Then one person blocked the front door.

, the other person started from the backyard and killed all the mortals one by one."

"To sum up, here are some inferences, please be careful..."

In the room, a young man was talking eloquently. It was Colin Wen, the head of the Guanjing'an Department in Zhuyang County.

"First, this is a vendetta. There should be great hatred between the murderer and the deceased, so he committed such an outrageous act of extermination."

It is not difficult to conclude that everyone nodded frequently.

"Second, the murderer and the deceased should know each other, otherwise they will not let the other party get close easily and succeed in a sneak attack."

"This..." Zhao Yunhe interjected: "The fourth elders are staying in Zhao Town. If there is something to report, even ordinary townspeople can come in."

Almost all the residents of Zhao Town are children of the Zhao family. If there is something urgent, it is not difficult to see the fourth elder.

"That's the third point I'm going to talk about next," Lin Wen didn't care about the other party's interruption and said: "Several Qi practicing monks were all killed at the same time. Obviously their residence and location have been disclosed to

The murderer. In other words, there should be an accomplice of the murderer in this house, and it is even said that the murderer is someone from the house!"

"This is impossible," Zhao Yunhe said: "The only one left in Changshan today is Lao Si, a Foundation Builder. As for the mansion, it is even more impossible to have a Foundation Builder monk as a servant, but..."

"The theory of internal response must not be ignored," he turned around and ordered Zhao Yunhu beside him: "Third brother, let them quickly sort out the list of the dead to see if there is anyone missing."

Zhao Yunhu bowed and agreed.

"Is there any more?" Dai Chenghong looked at the young people in the room.

Lin Wen was immediately flattered and said respectfully: "There is another strange thing. Please come with me."

……

Everyone followed his lead, walking around the corridors and halls, passing through two corner doors, and came to a small courtyard.

People who died along the way can be seen everywhere, all retaining the form before they were killed, and almost all of them died with a single sword.

Pushing open the courtyard, the smell of blood hits your nose.

"There are a total of thirteen people in this courtyard, and all of them have died." Lin Wen sighed.

Yang Zhen followed his gaze and looked towards the open main hall, and her eyes suddenly shrank.

Two people were lying on their backs in the room, both women. One of them looked to be in his thirties and had a good face.

Feng Sisi.

Another woman was disheveled and was also lying on her back, but her face was scratched with several bloody marks by a sharp sword, which was hideous and terrifying.

That’s Zhao Ying!

Yesterday, this woman was still congratulating herself on the new year, but today she died, separated from heaven and man!

A rage burned in Yang Zhen's heart.

He and Zhao Ying did not have a deep friendship, and they even had conflicts in the past, but after all, they had known each other for many years, and the other party died so tragically, how could he remain indifferent?

"Yiyi!" He shouted loudly in his heart.

Still no response, Xiao Xiancao has completely fallen into trance.

"Without your help, I will find out the murderer!" Yang Zhen felt fierce in her heart.

"This woman was hit with seven swords, and the last one hit her vital part," Lin Wen said, "This is a brutal killing. Obviously, the murderer has a deep hatred for this woman."

A female nun in the county temple inspected Zhao Ying's lower body and added: "The deceased's teeth were broken by a sharp knife, but he did not lose his virginity."

Several elders of the Zhao family looked at each other.

"This woman's name is Zhao Ying. She was once an outer disciple of the sect. After leaving the sect and returning home seven years ago, she lived in the mansion most of the time and rarely went out. She has never been seen to have any grudges with anyone." Zhao Yunhu explained to everyone.

Tao.

"How could he have destroyed his body like this if he didn't have deep hatred?" He Shouxin shook his head, obviously not believing it.

At this moment, Elder Eleven came in and reported:

"My lords and clan leaders, we have preliminary statistics on the casualties in the town. A total of seventeen monks were killed, all practicing Qi. Four of them were disciples guarding the teleportation array, and three were traders from other places. The remaining ten were all

They were killed at home, and those who were killed together, as well as their personal papers, totaled more than 180 people."

"Bah--" Everyone took a breath of cold air. More than twenty monks and more than two hundred mortals were killed. Even Dai Chenghong, who has rich experience, has not seen such a big eucalyptus for several years.

"Are there any monks who survived?" He Shouxin asked.

"Yes," Zhao Youting bowed his head and said, "There were fifteen people in total. After these people were knocked unconscious, they were thrown into an illusion array. Later, someone walked out of the array, and then they sent a letter with a paper kite, reporting the disaster here.

."

There are actually people alive? Everyone looked surprised. Dai Chenghong ordered: "Bring them here to see them."

……

A dozen monks were pushed in and brought in. There were both men and women, old and strong, and there was a big guy at the front.

"Zhao Yuzhu!" Yang Zhen recognized it at a glance and said in surprise: "Aren't you in the county town? When did you return to Changshan?"

Zhao Yuzhu looked up and saw Yang Zhen, with the same surprise on his face, and explained: "My mother urged me to get married. I thought it would be easier to find a wife in my hometown, so I came back to find a wife."

"I see," Yang Zhen then asked, "How is your family? With today's conditions, are your family members okay?"

"It's okay, everything is fine!"

"Why don't you go to my wedding?" Yang Zhen blamed.

He and Zhao Yuzhu were once at the bottom of Junguan Academy's cultivation progress. This friendship can also be called a friend in need. Therefore, in the past few years, he has taken good care of this classmate and even allowed him to seek advice from Qin Wan.

Received a salary that was not low in income.

"I'm afraid you'll say I don't seek to improve." Zhao Yuzhu said with a naive smile.

Yang Zhen was stunned and then lost her thoughts.

Zhao Yuzhu looked careless, but in his heart, he still had his own persistence.
