When the shopkeeper heard that he was about to leave, his expression suddenly changed.
"Let me go with you? Who do you think you are? You are not officials in the imperial city. Do you think you can leave as soon as you want? Are the people in your academy so arrogant?"
The shopkeeper didn't want to go with them. He knew very well that there might be a chance of survival in the tavern, but if he followed them outside the tavern, there might not be any consequences.
He stayed firmly behind the counter, his hands trembling and he didn't know where to put them.
Bai Qinghe thought for a moment and smiled: "The academy will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone wrongly accuse good people. We are not taking you somewhere, but you are going to go out with us and ask some questions. I'm afraid you may be here."
Not very convenient.”
Bai Qinghe spoke very docilely, without any forceful attitude, which made the shopkeeper relax a little. Then he thought about where else they could take him, so he frowned: "Okay, I can go out with you, but I
I have to come back as soon as possible. This pub has been in business for several years and there are still many repeat customers. I don’t want to lose customers because of my negligence.”
Xu Qingnian smiled slightly after listening to his words, and thought to himself, this tavern is nothing more than a place for you to secretly communicate with Haotian Pavilion. It is really ridiculous that there is no customer base.
After they walked out of the tavern, they came to the back of the tavern. Because the tavern was located on a side street at the corner of the main street, no one noticed it. In addition, it was in the back alley of the tavern, so it was extremely quiet.
The shopkeeper was stunned: "You? You asked me to follow you out, is this why you came here?"
He was a little unexpected, and his eyes were wandering. He thought they would take him to some inn or something, and they wouldn't do anything to him in front of everyone. But now in the back alley of this tavern, the chill in his heart suddenly rose, and he began to hesitate when speaking.
I.
Xu Qingnian was about to speak, but Hu Sanhai couldn't wait to grab the shopkeeper's collar and shouted angrily: "Tell me, do you know that Death Wu? Why did he come to you? If you don't tell me, I'll chop you up alive."
!”
Hu Sanhai's eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to punch this man to death.
The shopkeeper's mind went blank when he did this, his legs kept shaking, and his hands kept waving in front of his collar: "You, let go! Let go!"
He was as weak and helpless as a little chicken in Hu Sanhai's hands. Seeing that he was not cooperating at all, Hu Sanhai slowly tightened his hands and pinched the shopkeeper so hard that he couldn't breathe and his face turned blue from the suffocation.
"Okay! Okay! Mr. Hu, what are you doing? No matter how much we are still members of the academy, how can we kill people randomly? Even if he recognizes Death Fog, he is still an ordinary citizen. How can he do such a heavy hand?"
Bai Qinghe immediately stepped forward and pulled Hu Sanhai away and looked at him angrily.
When Xu Qingnian saw this situation, he did not try to persuade him, but wanted him to vent his anger on the shopkeeper. As for safety, he naturally had a good idea.
"Shopkeeper, did you see that? Our Mr. Hu can do anything. This time he opened the door. If you don't answer the questions he asked, you may not be so lucky. I hope you can understand."
Xu Qingnian had an idea, why not make a threat, so after talking about it, he felt that the shopkeeper was extremely frightened at this time, which could be seen from the dilation of his pupils.
"I do know about the death fog, but if I speak out, I will be killed immediately. Can you guarantee my safety?"
When Bai Qinghe heard this, he felt that the shopkeeper was being threatened, so he whispered softly: "The people in Haotian Pavilion don't dare to make trouble in the imperial city. Do you know anything else? Don't worry, as long as you take Haotian Pavilion
The other forces told me that we will definitely ensure your safety!"
Xu Qingnian also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you just need to tell us everything you know and let us handle it. Without the remnants of Haotian Pavilion in this imperial city, you will naturally be safe, just tell me!"
Hu Sanhai didn't say anything. His angry body kept shaking, looking as if he was going to eat himself alive.
"I don't know about the remnants of Haotian Pavilion, but as long as Death Fog comes to me, something big will happen. The business of my tavern was not very good before, and I was ostracized by many of my family members. Occasionally, I was also harassed by people in the imperial city.
The harassment of robbers.”
"Then, there was a mysterious man wearing a mask and armor. He said he could help me and make my tavern's business prosperous, but the condition is to help them hide some things. These things can only be activated when the death fog appears.
And every time with the arrival of the death fog, these things will have a certain impact. As for what impact it is, I can only hear about it."
"One of the times, the Death Fog came over and asked me if I was ready as usual. I still gave the same answer. Within a few days, a mysterious man appeared in my tavern. I handed over the things they had hidden in advance.
After giving it to him, he left!"
"In a few days, there was news that some sect in Nanchi Continent was destroyed. This kind of thing happens once or twice every year, so I have become accustomed to it."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xu Qingnian took a deep breath, his back felt numb and his scalp felt tight.
"What is that thing? Do you know?"
Xu Qingnian asked hurriedly. Bai Qinghe was also confused and had no clue at all.
"In Nanchi Continent, the sect was destroyed? Could it be that he was talking about the incident that happened a few years ago? The Tang sect was bloodbathed all over the family overnight, and even the three-year-old child was not spared!"
Hu Sanhai shouted, gnashing his teeth at the shopkeeper.
But the shopkeeper kept shaking his head: "I don't know what those things are at all. I only know that every time the death fog comes, a mysterious person comes over within a few days, muttering something unknown.
Just take the stuff away!”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Bai Qinghe immediately said: "Then don't say it here. Take us to the tavern quickly and let us see what that thing looks like? Hurry!"
So the shopkeeper carefully led them back into the tavern.
"Hey! The shopkeeper is back. There is someone who has been waiting for you for a long time!"
The waiter saw the shopkeeper coming back and greeted him loudly.
Xu Qingnian and the others said disapprovingly: "Quick! Take us to find it!"
At this time, when the shopkeeper heard that someone was looking for him, his heart tightened and he slowly turned around and said to Bai Qinghe, who was closest to him: "The waiter said that someone is looking for me. That mysterious person should be here!"
After hearing this, Bai Qinghe quickly pulled the shopkeeper behind him and said to Xu Qingnian and Hu Sanhai: "He said the mysterious man should be in the tavern, everyone, be careful!"
After hearing this, Xu Qingnian suddenly became nervous, because he thought that this mysterious man should be no less capable than Death Wu, and it was probably a tough battle, so he slowly activated the sea of energy in his body, staring straight ahead without even daring to take a breath.
"Humph, who did you think it was? It turns out that he is really from the academy. I said that every time I come to the tavern, the shopkeeper will wait for me obediently, but this time he disappeared."
A man was dressed in black. Although there was no mask on his head, his eyes were strangely covered with a piece of white gauze, which looked very strange.
"who are you?"
Bai Qinghe's hands also gradually released waves of energy, but this mysterious man in black bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Haha, didn't this guy tell you who I am? Is it so difficult to recognize people from Haotian Pavilion?"
The mysterious man looked at the shopkeeper behind Bai Qinghe and said with a smile.
The shopkeeper took a closer look and shouted loudly, his voice hoarse and accompanied by tears: "He, he is the person who comes to pick up things every time, that's him, that's him!"
Xu Qingnian watched for a long time and observed very carefully, but he couldn't tell who this person was, so he asked again: "People from Haotian Pavilion? How can there be people like you in Haotian Pavilion? Don't try to deceive us..."
Before Xu Qingnian could finish his question, Hu Sanhai, who was already furious, could no longer hold it in. He stepped forward and took out the Xuantian Infinite Ruler in his arms and hit it.
I saw the ruler transform into a gun and stab the mysterious man.
The mysterious man turned around and threw out the three flying blades from his waist, forcefully knocking Hu Sanhai's iron gun away, then stood still and smiled, "Mr. Hu from the academy? As expected, there is still something wrong."
Xu Qingnian and Bai Qinghe took a closer look and saw that the three flying blades were indeed from Haotian Pavilion. However, this was the first time they had seen them dressed like this. When Bai Qinghe thought about it carefully, it had no impact at all.
After Hu Sanhai was knocked away, he heard that this person actually knew him. Then he thought for a moment and nodded slightly and said: "If this person is right, he should be Bai Sha, the left and right envoy of Haotian Pavilion." "Baisha? Death fog."
?Two appear at the same time? Although people often hear people talk about death fog, Baisha has only heard of it in rumors and has never seen it. How come you have seen it, Mr. Hu?"
Xu Qingnian was confused and looked at Hu Sanhai and asked hurriedly.
Hu Sanhai transformed the spear in his hand into a scimitar again, and said casually: "No matter who he is, no one from Haotian Pavilion will be left alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Sanhai rushed over again.
Bai Sha took a step back with his left foot, and then a black crescent moon appeared behind him, flying towards Hu Sanhai's eyes like a hidden weapon.
"I know this, Ban Yue Beng! This is Haotian Pavilion's Ban Yue Beng!"
The so-called half-moon collapse is shaped like a crescent moon in the night sky. According to rumors, as long as the person is injured by this half-moon collapse, the whole body of the injured person will immediately undergo ulceration, and there is no cure.
There is nothing left.
Xu Qingnian also knew about this technique, but he had never seen anyone use it in so many years. It seemed that this technique only belonged to one person from Baisha.
"Hmph, wherever Ban Yue Beng goes, there is no exception. Mr. Hu, today is your death anniversary!"
Having said that, Banyue Beng was about to arrive in front of Hu Sanhai.
ah!
While Xu Qingnian and Bai Qinghe were anxious about it, Hu Sanhai shouted, and a golden halo suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Defensive barrier? Mr. Hu is really strong in his skills. No wonder Master is so polite to him~"
Xu Qingnian did not make a fuss: "Old Bai, you have been in the world for too long and don't know what's going on outside. Mr. Hu's skills have long been very strong, and his enchantment method has long been learned, and not only
There is only one defensive barrier, but he has mastered all kinds of barriers. If it weren't for the huge difference in cultivation level, Mr. Hu alone would be enough."
Bai Sha smiled when he saw the defensive barrier: "I still remember that the last time I saw Mr. Hu, he was not so strong, but now he has improved by leaps and bounds. It seems that the master of the academy is really capable, but! Mr. Hu, do you really think that he is an ordinary person?"
Can the defensive barrier withstand my attack?"
Having said that, Baisha slowly took off his white veil and sneered: "The reason why I am not like other people in Haotian Pavilion is because I! Baisha! I never look at others!"
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light emitted from his eyes, directly passing through Hu Sanhai's defensive barrier.
Xu Qingnian and Bai Qinghe immediately covered their eyes: "What's going on! What kind of skill is this?"
"Old Bai, don't open your eyes. I remembered that Baisha's eyes were blindfolded because his eyes can emit powerful golden aurora. Anything in the world will be destroyed as long as it is projected by the aurora.
!”
After hearing this, Bai Qinghe felt a little weird, and even wondered if Xu Qingnian was joking! Just when he was about to ask a few questions, the dazzling and burning light suddenly disappeared.
Bai Qinghe tried to slowly open his eyes, and saw Bai Sha standing there with the corner of his mouth raised slightly, looking in front of him.
Bai Qinghe turned around and saw that Hu Sanhai had fallen to the ground, still closing his eyes tightly.
"You actually broke the defensive barrier!"
Bai Qinghe looked at Hu Sanhai on the ground in disbelief. He had lived for so long and had seen countless masters, but he had never seen anyone who could break the defensive barrier in one fell swoop, because anyone who could break the barrier had to be angry.
Only those who are in a state of brilliance or above and are familiar with the hidden diseases in the barrier can defeat it.
Hu Sanhai gasped and slowly opened his eyes, and he could still feel the burning sensation in his eyelids.
"It seems we can't defeat him. Baisha can say anything. As long as he takes off his veil, I'm afraid even the master can't deal with him!"
Xu Qingnian didn't agree with Hu Sanhai's words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Sha beside him and said with a smile: "How can he be compared with Master? Even if the three of us really can't defeat him today, we won't die in his hands."
It’s a loss!”
Having said this, some of the people in the tavern were blinded, and some died suddenly on the spot. Xu Qingnian did not want the danger to spread again, so he closed the door of the tavern.
But not long after the door was closed, a person came outside and smiled: "Emperor Shang asked me to capture this person. You are no match for him. Take the people and leave first..."
