Xiao Nan, Zi Mo, and the two Lu brothers quietly appeared in the Lord's Mansion of Bajian City without alerting anyone.
After Zilan became the lord of Bajian City, he lived in the Zi family mansion and only came here occasionally, so the lord's mansion usually seemed very quiet.
If Xiao Nan was not here, only the warriors from the war hall and some maids and clerks would live in the city lord's mansion.
When they arrived at the door of the study, the two Lu brothers said goodbye and left.
Xiao Nan asked Zimo to wait. He first asked the incarnation of Fire Phoenix's spiritual consciousness to release his spiritual sense and sensed it. He didn't find anything unusual in the City Lord's Mansion, but he also didn't find Jiao Yuan and Chai Chen who had been staying in the City Lord's Mansion.
Afterwards, Xiao Nan and Zi Mo walked into the light door opened by Fire Phoenix and appeared quietly in the Zi family mansion.
The two came to the door of Zimo's room and saw two maids chatting and cleaning and wiping the furniture in the room.
Zi Mo coughed slightly, and the two maids immediately raised their heads and looked over.
When they saw it was Zimo and Xiao Nan, they were overjoyed.
One of the maids was a little excited, "It turns out that the young lady and the uncle are back! Xiaocui, go and tell the master!"
The maid named Xiao Cui responded cheerfully, walked quickly to the door, and saluted Xiao Nan and Zi Mo, "Miss, uncle, please rest in the room for a while, I will go and tell the master right now."
You guys are going home."
When Zi Mo heard what they called Xiao Nan, her face immediately turned red. Although she was affected by the murders of Liu Yishan and Shi Zuiliu and the disappearance of Han Cheng and others, she still felt a burst of joy in her heart.
She smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead. Xiaohuan, don't wipe it. Go get a pot of tea."
Xiaohuan walked over with a respectful expression, "Okay. Miss and uncle, please wait a moment."
Xiao Nan followed Zimo, walked into the room, and sat on a chair.
Seeing Zi Mo's happy look, he didn't want to lose his interest, so he looked at Zi Mo with a half-smile, and joked in a low voice: "We haven't even gotten married yet, and they all call me uncle?"
When Zi Mo heard Xiao Nan's words, she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Xiao Nan and had a smile on her lips, but didn't speak.
Xiao Nan looked at Zimo's shy look and laughed.
At this time, Xiaocui, who had just gone out, hurried in with the housekeeper.
The housekeeper stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Nan and Zimo, "Miss, uncle, I went to Liu's house and Shi's house early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet. I guess he should be at Shi's house at the moment, right?
Send someone to ask him to return?"
Xiao Nan put her mind away and looked at Zi Mo.
Zi Mo stood up and said, "No, I will just sit here for a while, and I will go to the Liu family and the Shi family later. You go and prepare some sacrificial supplies for me. I will go to the back mountain to sweep the tomb later. You go down and do your work first."
"
After the housekeeper and the two maids resigned, Xiao Nan stood up and said, "I'm going to visit the Liu family and the Shi family now."
Zi Mo walked up to Xiao Nan, lowered her head and straightened his clothes, and said softly: "Be careful."
Xiao Nan gently hugged Zimo into her arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, the incarnation of Senior Fire Phoenix's spiritual thoughts is always with me."
Zi Mo hummed, "That's good."
Xiao Nan let her go, then walked out of the room, turning into an afterimage. After a while, she left the Zi family mansion and quickly swept towards the direction of the Liu family.
A lobby of the Liu family has now been decorated as a mourning hall.
Liu Yishan's body was placed in a coffin and parked in the center of the mourning hall.
During the incident when Ye Huaiyuan wanted to collude with Ye Xingchen and others to seize the position of Lord of Bajian City, Liu Yishan, the elder of Bajian City, even though one of his legs was cut off by Ye Huaiyuan and imprisoned in a dungeon,
He still didn't betray Xiao Nan, which shows that he is an extremely tough person.
After that incident, Xiao Nan kept him recuperating at home, and he rarely went out. But now he encountered bad luck again, and was suddenly killed at home!
Another elder of Bajian City, Shi Zuiliu, also suffered the same fate. He also had an arm chopped off by Ye Huaiyuan, and now he was also killed at home.
Xiao Nan came to the mourning hall with a serious face and looked at the memorial tablet of Elder Liu Yishan, with the slightest murderous intention surging in his heart.
He lit a few sticks of incense handed over by the waker, bowed to the memorial tablet and the keeper respectively, then inserted the incense into the incense burner and prayed silently.
Afterwards, he bowed again to the memorial tablet and the guardian.
After the ceremony, the guardian followed the customs and was about to say some words of thanks, but Xiao Nan waved his hand to stop him.
Xiao Nan looked at the guardian and said in a deep tone, "Elder Liu Yishan was killed and died unfortunately. The City Lord's Mansion will definitely avenge him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the God-Slaying Devil Sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Nan's right hand. He suddenly flew up, jumped to the roof, and slashed into the void with one sword.
The guardian didn't know why and immediately exclaimed, "City Lord Xiao?"
Several warriors from the Liu family immediately came around and stood guard in front of the mourning hall. They all raised their heads and looked at Xiao Nan on the roof in surprise.
"Huh?"
A surprised voice came from the void, and then several piercing sword lights suddenly struck out.
A man appeared from the void, holding a long knife in his hand, and struck hard at Xiao Nan's God-Slaying Demon Sword.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes, and she snorted coldly. Instead of retreating, she advanced forward, and her body turned into an afterimage and flashed past.
All the sword light disappeared in an instant, and Xiao Nan appeared behind the man, with the God-Destroying Demon Sword placed on his shoulder.
At this time, black energy was swirling around the God-Slaying Devil Sword, and the cold murderous aura made the man's whole body feel cold, his face changed drastically, and he stood there without daring to move.
"How did you discover me?" The man asked reluctantly with a look of fear on his face.
Xiao Nan did not answer his question, but asked in a solemn tone: "Did you kill Liu Yishan?"
Man: "I didn't kill him."
Xiao Nan: "Where is Shizuiliu?"
Man: "No."
Xiao Nan: "Who killed that?"
Man: "People from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."
Xiao Nan: "Why are you hiding here and monitoring the Liu family?"
Man: "Waiting for you to show up."
Xiao Nan: "What will you do if I don't find you after I show up?"
Man: "Retreat immediately and send a message to the elders in the sect. The elders will come and arrest you and force you to hand over the God-Slaying Demon Sword and the Heart Sutra of Ten Thousand Demons."
Xiao Nan: "Where is the elder of your sect now?"
Man: "It's at the Liuyun Inn in the city."
Xiao Nan: "Everyone in your Blood Shadow Sect knows to stay here and wait for me to appear. Why don't the people in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave do the same?"
Man: "Because they don't need to stay at all. As long as you show up in Bajian City, you will naturally look for them."
When Xiao Nan heard this, his heart was shocked, and his thoughts changed, and he instantly understood the meaning of the man's words.
Han Cheng, Jiao Yuan, and Chai Chen, who had disappeared before, must have been captured by the people from Wanmo Cave. The people from Wanmo Cave thought that Xiao Nan would definitely come to rescue them.
However, Xiao Nan still wanted to confirm, so he continued to ask: "How do you say this?"
The man replied: "The people from Wanmo Cave have captured Han Cheng, the deputy city lord of Bajian City, and Jiao Yuan and Chai Chen, the warriors of the war hall. The city lord Zilan is also their target, and he is probably already here at this moment.
into their hands. They will threaten the lives of these people to gain the initiative and force you to show up and go find them."
When Xiao Nan heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the murderous aura on the God-Slaying Demon Sword suddenly became more intense.
His tone turned cold, "Why don't you Blood Shadow Sect come and arrest people, and then threaten me with their lives?"
The man replied: "First of all, the master of the sect does not want to become a mortal enemy with City Master Xiao prematurely, and he does not want to offend Ao Qingyu, the owner of Wuchen Island. Secondly, he does not want to conflict with Ten Thousand Demon Cave for the time being. Therefore, I
The people in the sect operate secretly, and rarely resort to direct arrests or killings."
"However, the Blood Shadow Sect has been fueling the flames behind the scenes. For fear that the world will not be in chaos, they always want to use the hands of others to kill me. Such intentions are even more sinister and vicious. They have already been fighting with me to death!" Xiao Nan said in a serious tone.
.
"City Lord Xiao! Please let me live..." The man suddenly looked horrified. He felt Xiao Nan's strong murderous intention and couldn't help shouting hastily.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a black sword light suddenly burst out and passed by. His head instantly rolled down and blood spurted out.
Before the man's head fell to the ground, a nine-colored glow emerged from Xiao Nan's left hand, covering the man's body and head.
In an instant, the man was completely turned into ashes, his body and soul extinguished.
A ball of nine-color liquid emerged from the place where the corpse disappeared, disappeared into Xiao Nan's left hand, and disappeared.
Xiao Nan turned around and faced the Liu family below, "Everyone, please bury Elder Liu as soon as possible. The City Lord's Mansion will also provide generous support to the Liu family. I also ask the family members to express their condolences. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go there
If the City Lord’s Mansion asks for help, the City Lord’s Mansion will definitely not refuse without reason!”
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, his body turned into an afterimage, quickly swept towards the direction of Shi's house, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, outside the mourning hall made for Shi Zuiliu by the Shi family in Bajian City, Zi Lan was half lying on the ground, with his left hand supporting the ground, and his right hand covering his chest that was rising and falling violently, breathing heavily, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
, glaring angrily at the two young men opposite.
Beside Zilan, an old man from the Shi family squatted down and tried to help him up, but he struggled and his left leg could not move. It seemed that it was interrupted and he could not stand up for a while.
In front of Zi Lan, there were three old men from the Shi family standing, holding swords and guarding Zi Lan tightly behind them.
The warm winter sunshine shone on them, but Zilan and the four old men of the Shi family did not feel the slightest warmth.
Standing opposite were two young men, one fat and one thin. The thin man's voice was hoarse, "Zilan, if you had cooperated well just now, wouldn't you have suffered less?"
"Who are you, and why did Liu Yishan and Shi Zuiliu offend you, allowing you to break into private houses and commit murder in Bajian City?" Zilan asked angrily.
The thin man sneered, looking contemptuous, "You are not qualified to ask about our identities. As for why we killed them, the reason is very simple. It's just because they refused to cooperate with us. Since they are useless, then they have no choice but to die.
Already."
At this time, the fat man became impatient and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Take him and let's go! If these people stop us, just kill them all."
The thin man nodded, looked at Zilan and the Shi family with indifferent eyes, and slowly walked towards them.
