The fire was blazing into the sky. When Liu Wuxie arrived, the oil mill had been burned down to only a shell. Fortunately, it was night and most of the workers had already stopped working and went home.
No casualties were caused, and the oil extracted inside was burned, resulting in a loss of at least 500,000 gold coins.
The flames soared into the sky, illuminating half of Canglan City. The location of the oil mill was not in the city, but was built in the suburbs. Many people hurried over to help put out the fire.
"Wuxie, you're here!"
Xu Yilin arrived first and stood outside the fire. The fire was under control and would no longer spread.
The fierce flames made a crackling sound, and the huge building collapsed.
"Father-in-law, the oil mill's safety measures have always been very good. Why did it suddenly catch on fire?"
The Xu family's guards and servants all came over to put out the fire. The flames became smaller and smaller, and there was a lot of burnt wood and a strange smell mixed with grease.
Many people gathered in the distance, coming to watch in the middle of the night and covering their noses.
"There are absolutely no issues with our security measures."
Although the oil mill is not the main source of income for the Xu family, it still attaches great importance to it. Deacon Lan has to inspect it every day. It suddenly caught fire, which was very unusual. The investigation team left tonight.
"What do you mean, father-in-law, someone deliberately set a fire?"
Using the Ghost Eye Technique, he passed through the layers of flames and reached the depths of the oil mill. Then his eyes shrank and there were many holes pierced by sharp objects on the oil drums. The oil spilled and caused a fire.
"We are not sure at the moment. We will not know until the investigation is clear."
The Xu family could afford to lose an oil mill. If they didn't find out who was behind the scenes, not only the oil mill, but also the weapons mill, etc., would become their targets next time.
"Father-in-law, please immediately take someone to the next oil mill and check it carefully."
Liu Wuxie did not tell anyone what he saw and who was behind it. At first he suspected that it was the Tian and Wan families, but this was quickly overturned.
The Tian and Wan families are also involved in other industries. If they are really doing it, the Xu family can also set their shop on fire. This approach will only hurt both sides, and the suspicion of the two families will not be great.
"Wuxie, then be careful!"
Xu Yilin led his guards and ran quickly towards another oil mill, leaving ten guards behind to protect Liu Wuxie's safety.
The flames disappeared and the remaining smoke billowed, making everyone unable to open their eyes.
"Tell me, who set the Xu family's oil mill on fire?"
There were whispers in the distance. The Xujia Oil Shop had been built for decades and there had never been any accidents. It was a bit weird tonight. Such a huge flame was definitely not unusual.
"I heard that the Xu family offended the investigation team. Could it be that the investigation team had someone do it?"
Someone actually suspected the investigation team. They had just left Canglan City not long ago. There was indeed suspicion.
Taking out a handkerchief and covering her nose, Liu Wuxie walked step by step towards the ruins, hoping to find some clues.
"Uncle, don't go in, it's dangerous inside."
The house has not completely collapsed. If he goes in rashly, he may be killed. The guards behind him rush out and tell him not to go in.
"Go and check around to see if there is any suspicious person."
Liu Wuxie waved his hand to tell them not to follow him. He stepped on the burnt dead wood and entered the inside of the oil mill. There were still slight sparks coming out. The thick smoke blocked his sight. With the help of the Ghost Eye Technique, he could see clearly.
.
After the Ghost Eye Technique was promoted, it lasted longer. A layer of faint ripples appeared on the scorched wall in front, and the sight actually passed through the wall.
"The ability to pass through walls!"
I was so shocked that I didn't have time to think. I looked further and further away. On the other side of the wall, there were weeds as tall as a person. Usually no one came here. Under the weeds was a sewage ditch.
"Whoosh!"
A black figure emerged from the weeds, wearing a black mask. His face could not be seen, and he turned and swept away into the distance.
Normal people cannot see that behind the oil mill, it is surrounded by layers of fire. There is a mountain road along the weeds, and you can enter the back mountain and circle back to Canglan City.
"There is indeed someone!"
The body exploded and turned into an afterimage. Standing on the ruined roof, a terrifying heat wave came from under his feet. He tapped his toes and quickly swept down, appearing behind the house.
Before the Xu family guards could react, Liu Wuxie had already disappeared.
The black shadow passed through the dense grass and swept towards the mountains in the distance. Entering this mountain range, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, so it is difficult to find his trace.
It was pitch dark all around. When ordinary people came in, they quickly lost their way. With the help of ghost eyes, they could clearly see every inch of trees, hanging far behind the black shadow, more than fifty meters apart.
After running for a while, the shadow noticed someone following behind him and quickened his pace.
He was fast, and Liu Wuxie was even faster. Like a shooting star, with his feet on the ground, he leaped ten meters away, his speed was extremely fast.
Perhaps realizing that Liu Wuxie could not be shaken off, the black shadow suddenly slowed down, and a cliff appeared in front of him. By bypassing this place, he could return to Canglan City.
There was no way forward, and the way back was blocked by Liu Wuxie, who was approaching step by step. The black figure turned around and looked towards Liu Wuxie, his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness under the faint starlight.
"Who are you and why are you following me?"
The black shadow spoke and asked coldly. A bright long knife appeared in his hand, giving off a faint luster. It was a good knife.
"You lit the fire in the oil mill!"
Liu Wuxie did not answer. He stood five steps away, with a cliff behind him. The man in black was unable to fly. He put away his ghost eye skills and looked up and down. Judging from his body and voice, he was very strange.
"Boy, if you want to meddle in other people's business, you dare to follow me even though you are in the innate realm. Are you getting impatient?"
The man in black let out a chattering laugh, and the willow-leaf scimitar in his hand made a clattering sound. He suddenly struck Liu Wuxie with the knife, and he hit Liu Wuxie without any hesitation.
He knew very well that Liu Wuxie could easily catch up with him. This person was not a simple person, and he had the advantage of striking first.
The sword technique was extremely sharp, going straight to Liu Wuxie's neck. It was ruthless and tricky. This kind of sword technique was rare in Canglan City.
Liu Wuxie knew a thing or two about the martial arts of the four major families. No one, including the city lord's mansion, had learned such a weird sword technique.
Compared with the Blood Rainbow Sword Technique, it is far different. When the fifth level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm is used, the sword shadows are heavy. Around the cliff, the sword energy forms a wave-like impact and sweeps over.
I went out tonight and didn't have time to carry a sword. I came here alone and stepped on the seven stars to avoid the fatal knife.
The man in black was stunned. Liu Wuxie easily avoided the killing blow, with a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
"It's interesting. A small Xiantian realm can actually avoid my cold bayonet technique. It's not easy!"
The blade of the blade turned, and the body was pulled up in the air, forming a 180-degree rotation on the spot. The terrifying sword energy was forced towards Liu Wuxie's legs. It was indeed a cold bayonet technique. It released a cold energy, and the legs felt like they were being beaten.
The ice freezes.
Without using the Ghost Eye Technique, Liu Wuxie had to rely on his speed and control of the battle to kill his opponent as much as possible.
The two figures were coming and going, and Liu Wuxie kept dodging. The opponent's cold bayonet technique could not even touch the corner of Liu Wuxie's clothes. The more he hit, the more frightened he became.
"Who are you? When did such a monster appear in Canglan City? The Xiantian Realm can compete with the Spirit Cleansing Realm."
The man in black showed a hint of panic. Judging from his voice, he should be around thirty to forty years old. Liu Wuxie really couldn't find such a person in Canglan City.
There is only one possibility. The other party may not be from Canglan City, but may be a master from other big cities.
"It's my turn to ask you, what grudges does the Xu family have against you? Ask about the fuel mill."
Only Liu Wuxie dared to do this. He stepped on the seven stars and eight fights, bullied the body, and advanced instead of retreating. He suddenly raised his right hand and made a simple punch, but there was no trace of it.
Great simplicity!
Any martial arts technique will have unexpected effects in Liu Wuxie's hands. This is a basic boxing technique, which is usually used to beat the body.
The man in black was shocked, and his body quickly retreated. With every move and every move, Liu Wuxie could find the flaw in his moves. This punch seemed soft and weak, but it made his soul escape. There was something hidden in the punch.
murderous look.
What's even more frightening is that you can't find any way to break it with a simple punch. This is the most frightening thing.
Everyone knows how to practice basic boxing skills, and can perform basic boxing skills to such an extent that no one in the Yan Dynasty can do it.
No wonder the man in black looked frightened. He cut the lancet in his hand across the chest to protect his chest. This was a lose-lose attack. Even if he was hit by Liu Wuxie, the long knife would cut off Liu Wuxie's hands.
In terms of the use of his true energy, he is far inferior to Liu Wuxie. Taihuang Dantian is endless, and his true energy is like a scourge, allowing his fist strength to transform into various forms, like a tiger coming out of its cage and roaring with rage.
The true energy of the Spirit Cleansing Realm is not as good as that of the Xiantian Realm. If word spreads about it, no one will believe it.
The man in black seemed to have seen a ghost, his fist getting closer and closer.
"You can't hide!"
Liu Wuxie let out a contemptuous laugh, and his body disappeared from the spot like a ghost, appearing behind the man in black. Two shadows appeared on the field.
"not good!"
The man in black was shocked. Liu Wuxie's fighting skills were far beyond his expectation. He was unable to dodge. His body, which was continuously retreating, suddenly stopped and shot forward.
"too slow!"
The fist fell, like a hammer, hitting the man in black's back hard. His body staggered, he flew out, and smashed his head into the rubble.
"puff!"
Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the mask fell down. It was similar to Lynch's guess. He looked about thirty-four or five years old, and his face was very unfamiliar. This was the first time he saw him.
The tyrannical Taihuang Zhenqi rushed into his body, causing his muscles to become confused, out of breath, and feeling uncomfortable all over.
"Now you can tell me who sent you here!"
Liu Wuxie walked over step by step with a cold tone. She must find out who was behind the murder of the Xu family.
"Chachacha, if I guess correctly, you are the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Xu family!"
The man in black thought of who it was and let out a miserable laugh. It was rumored that the Xu family was a waste and didn't know how to practice. The power it unleashed tonight was comparable to the fifth level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm.
"you know me?"
Liu Wuxie was stunned. This man was new to him. He was not from Canglan City. How could he know him?
"It is indeed you, but I didn't expect that the rumored waste is so strong. I won't lose unjustly tonight. If you want to kill me, you are not enough."
The man in black suddenly ejected and flew into the distance. He couldn't defeat Liu Wuxie and chose to escape. This chapter has been completed!
