In the room, the doors and windows were broken, and the night wind blew in, causing the gauze curtains in the room to flutter.
Chen Xuan stood in front of Duan Zhengming's body with lingering fear and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Duan Zhengming is the number one master of the Duan family. If we just talk about martial arts, he is only in the middle of Duan Yanqing.
This time, he was able to succeed in a surprise attack within dozens of moves, largely thanks to his cheap princess.
When masters compete with each other, every detail must be determined, especially the state of mind.
He therefore raised suspicion and hung up Baifeng's sword like this.
Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun have a deep love for each other. How can they maintain their peace of mind when they see Dao Baifeng being harmed by him like this?
When Chen Xuan thought of this, he looked back faintly at Dao Baifeng who was hanging under the beam.
He had deliberately administered the medicine before, so Dao Baifeng had already passed out.
This way it will not hinder his subsequent layout.
The assassination of Duan Zhengming was not originally part of his plan.
His original plan was to go to Master Kurong to plead for mercy, but then he changed his mind and thought if he just went to ask Master Kurong for justice.
When the time comes, the old man won't be happy, so he'll have to be rejected.
What's more, even if Master Kurong is willing to help him, I'm afraid he can't do much.
So Chen Xuan suddenly thought of killing Duan Zhengming while he was injured.
In this way, Duan Zhengming did not leave an edict to abdicate, so the throne of Dali Kingdom will be occupied by the capable person!
Chen Xuan slowly clenched his hands, calmed down his chaotic inner breath a little, then picked up Duan Zhengming's body and placed it back in the side room where he was recovering from his injuries.
He had stunned both Gan Baobao and Mu Wanqing before taking action, and now they were placed in the forest outside Tianlong Temple.
Now he placed Dao Baifeng in the mountain col, then turned back and sneaked into the temple, preparing a fire to directly remove all the traces left behind.
Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, as soon as he poured lamp oil into the house, a faint voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Amitabha~"
"Who's out there?!"
Chen Xuan's heart trembled, he tightened his grip on the iron staff and flew out.
He said he was asking, but looking at his intention, Chen Xuan didn't care who the other party was, he just wanted to leave no one alive!
But he jumped out and hit his head with the iron staff.
But the person outside the door slapped his iron staff away with his bare hands!
Chen Xuan only felt numb in the tiger's mouth. The man's hand was so strong that he almost knocked his iron staff out of his hand with one palm!
"...Master Ku Rong?!"
Chen Xuangang wanted to fight back, but when he took a closer look, standing in front of the door was an old monk who was as haggard as a dead tree.
Although the old monk's face is covered with wrinkles and you can barely feel him breathing, his deep eyes have a hidden sharpness. It seems that his martial arts has reached an advanced level!
As soon as he saw the old monk, Chen Xuan immediately lost all fighting spirit. He threw the iron staff with a "bang" sound, but he kowtowed three times in a row with "dong dong dong" and cried.
"Uncle! Uncle! I am Yanqing!"
His reaction was quick and his acting was so natural. Even though he was full of murderous intent just a second ago, now he made people feel inexplicably distressed.
Master Kurong stood outside the door, his face expressionless, but when he saw him taking off the black cloth and green robe that covered his face, revealing his true appearance, his eyes could not help but move slightly for a moment.
He was silent for a long time, and then said quietly.
"...Why did you kill Zhengming?"
"Why?! Uncle, you are asking me why now?!"
Chen Xuan pushed down the lamp on the side with his backhand. The gauze curtain in the room had already been immersed in the light. It was attracted by the fire and instantly ignited a raging fire.
Before the fire, Chen Xuan cried and howled.
"Back then, my father died tragically and more than a hundred members of my family were stabbed to death! Did you ever ask me why? Now that I have returned to Dali, I want to take back everything that belongs to me! Duan Yanqing should have been the one in this world.
of!"
"..."
Master Kurong came here because he accidentally discovered that Duan Zhengming had been killed, and happened to see Chen Xuan's figure, so he chased after him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan's reaction was even greater than his.
For a moment, Master Kurong didn't care about raising an army to investigate. Instead, in this state of shock and surprise, he couldn't help but recall the past events of more than ten years ago.
It's just that when the rebellion broke out when he was practicing Kung Zen in seclusion, he didn't know the news at all.
Looking back now sadly, it has been a long time ago and the world has changed.
Although Master Kurong remembered his old love, he was unable to do anything else.
Now seeing Chen Xuan kneeling down and crying, complaining bitterly about the hardships of these years, Master Kurong could not help but fall silent for a moment.
After a long while, he sighed quietly.
"That's all. As the saying goes, when is the time to retaliate? The love and hatred in this world will eventually dissipate."
After he finished speaking, he no longer asked Chen Xuan about the reason for assassinating Duan Zhengming, nor did he ask any other questions, and simply turned around and left.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Chen Xuan cried and howled a few times. Seeing Master Kurong walking away, he wiped his tears and his face suddenly turned cold.
"What a risk... It seems that I guessed right. This old monk won't help me at all."
He looked back at the wing where the fire was burning, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now, otherwise Master Kurong would have seen the traces in the house, and Bao Qi would have found out what he had been hiding here with Dao Baifeng and the three girls.
When the time comes, no matter how miserable he is, Ku Rong will slap him twice.
But now that Duan Zhengming is dead and this place is on fire, Master Kurong has made it clear that he will not interfere in this matter.
At present, the lineage of Tianlong Temple in Dali Kingdom should be settled.
Chen Xuan glanced around, knowing that the monks from Tianlong Temple would arrive soon.
He also jumped onto the roof and escaped from Tianlong Temple in a few ups and downs.
"It's about Tianlong Temple. Next, as long as we unite dozens of tribes in eastern Yunnan, it will be enough for me to raise an army. But before that, I must get rid of Duan Zhengchun, the heir apparent!"
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Xuan's eyes sharpened, and his steps moved a little faster.
He hurriedly returned to the col in the mountain and found the three girls Dao Baifeng hiding there.
Dao Baifeng was in a daze and didn't know what happened, but after being awakened by Chen Xuan, he appeared outside the temple as soon as he opened his eyes.
She looked around blankly, then put her hand on her forehead and said.
"I...why am I here?"
While Chen Xuan picked up Mu Wanqing and Gan Baobao, he turned around and smiled harmlessly.
"Good slave, you don't know something. A Tubo monk came to Tianlong Temple. He is really good at martial arts. I heard that there was a big fuss in the temple. I didn't dare to go to my uncle, so I had to kill you first.
