The sky is gloomy, the red ground is vast, and the sky is filled with residual smoke.
Fu Hongxue's feet were stained with blood, and the ruins were scorched and lifeless.
He carried the body of his best friend Qiu Shuiqing in his arms and walked out of the villa.
When he heard Cuinong tricked Qiu Shuiqing into opening the secret door, he was furious.
He realizes that he has been used, and sighs at the centuries-old foundation of Peacock Villa. In the following time, he will wield his sword to hunt down the remnants of the Green Dragon Society who committed crimes.
And on the other side.
After finding out the reality of Peacock Villa, Yan Nanfei walked away indifferently and hid in an inn.
He placed the bronze ghost face beside him, half leaning against the window frame, looking at the night sky in the distant mountains.
It was already dark at this moment, and the faint light of fire could be seen faintly in the mountains not far away.
He knew that that was where the Peacock Villa was. Without the peacock feathers, the Peacock Villa would have no meaning of existence.
The lives of hundreds of people in Peacock Villa will become a small footnote to the Qinglong Society’s fame.
There are tall buildings in the alley, and there is the fragrance of flowers upstairs.
What kind of flower smells like this?
Is it a rose?
Tall buildings.
There is a window upstairs, there is a moon in front of the window, and there are flowers under the moon.
The flower is a rose and the moon is a bright moon.
There were no lights, and the moonlight shone in from the window and shone on the roses beside Yan Nanfei.
Not only was there a rose beside him, but there was also a man who was stabbed by the rose.
What evening is it today? The moon is like water, and people lean on each other.
How many endless lovesickness are there?
How much unspeakable tenderness and sweetness are there?”
It's late at night and people should be drunk.
Yan Nanfei was not drunk. His eyes were still as clear as the bright moon, but the expression on his face seemed to have been pricked by roses.
The rose has thorns, but where is the bright moon?
The bright moon has a heart, so the bright moon shines on people.
Her name is Mingyue Xin.
Yan Nanfei did not look at the woman who suddenly appeared next to him. This woman was as cold as the moon and as beautiful as a city.
"I always thought that the person who could be as famous as Fu Hongxue would be you, but today I think I was wrong."
Mingyue Xin's long words made Yan Nanfei's heart feel as if he had been stabbed by a rose, and the pain made his face turn blue and white in turns.
However, Yan Nanfei had to admit that that lazy young man had martial arts attainments that far exceeded his.
He never thought that someone in this world could actually catch his sword with bare hands, and even the force of a snap of his fingers made his jaw go numb, and the Rose Sword almost came out of his hand.
From an abandoned baby who was abandoned among the rose bushes in a border town, to the senior brother of the Iron Sword Sect, he drew his sword tens of thousands of times every day. At the age of eighteen, he challenged dozens of top martial arts masters with his sword and broke into the world of the Rose Gentleman.
Prestige.
Now that he was in his prime, he should have become more proficient in the art of swordsmanship, but he did not expect that he would suddenly encounter such a powerful enemy.
Perhaps, to that person, he is not even an opponent.
"Too strong, he is too strong. His unparalleled self-confidence and power as vast as the mountains and the sea are really disappointing."
Yan Nanfei felt that the sword he had persisted in for more than ten years was shattered, and he had lost the possibility of further improvement in the way of swordsmanship.
All this was just because of that snap of the sword in the corridor of Peacock Villa.
"...Who is that Chen Xuan?"
"I don't know either." Ming Yuexin was very honest.
Yan Nanfei couldn't help but wonder.
"You asked me to find him, how could you not know his details?"
"It's not me, it's him."
Ming Yuexin said quietly.
The resentment in Yan Nanfei's words suddenly disappeared, and he lost his temper for a moment and just said:
"Do I still have a chance?"
"..." Mingyue Xin didn't say anything, she just took the bronze mask beside him in her hand and looked at it.
Yan Nanfei seemed to know something, and silently jumped up from the window edge, and disappeared on the roof of the inn in a blink of an eye.
He was not wearing a mask this time, but he hopes to be eligible to wear one again.
……………………
The other side.
As if receiving some kind of secret signal, the killers of the Qinglong Society suddenly rushed into the Peacock Villa and burned the entire villa to scorched earth.
In the chaos, Chen Xuan had no idea what was going on, so he could only leave by himself.
Although Peacock Ling was not found, he knew that the attack on Peacock Villa was the work of the Qinglong Society, and Gong Ziyu would definitely come to him again.
But Chen Xuan didn't expect it to be in this way.
"Qingluo? Yuyan?"
He hurried back to the inn where Li Qingluo's daughters were staying.
When he entered the room and saw no one there, he thought it was Li Qingluo leading Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo out.
I took a look in the guest room next door, but I didn't expect that Xiao Zhao and the others were not there either.
Chen Xuan had never encountered such a situation before, and it took him a while to finally react belatedly.
"not good!"
He hurried into the house and looked around, and sure enough he found several footprints on the window sill.
"...Sure enough, someone sneaked into the room."
Chen Xuan cursed secretly, not daring to waste any more time, and immediately jumped out to chase him.
He jumped up and flew over the nearby blue-tiled eaves while scanning the streets for traces of pedestrians, hoping to find some clues.
It's just that the girls have been kidnapped, and it's obviously been a while.
If those people had the intention to escape, they would have run away long ago.
When he thought that those people dared to steal from him, Chen Xuan frowned and felt a little angry.
He saddled up the horse and dragged his family all the way to the middle of Shu. He had given Qinglong enough face to meet him.
Otherwise, he would have killed Gong Ziyu long ago just because of the poisoning in Ganlufang. Why would he bother to come to this Peacock Villa?
Unexpectedly, Gong Ziyu was so ruthless that he kidnapped Li Qingluo and others.
"That's unreasonable! If a tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm a sick cat? It's really embarrassing for you!"
Chen Xuan was so angry that he turned blue, but the people from the Qinglong Society were disappearing. He wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't find a clue for the moment.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The most important thing at the moment was to rescue Li Qingluo and others. He jumped back to the inn, walked into the lobby without saying a word, and dragged the innkeeper out.
Immediately, his left hand was clenched into a claw, and the sinister energy transformed from his internal energy swirled around and rose, frightening the shopkeeper's face to pale.
"My lord, please forgive me! There are younger ones, older ones, younger ones, and I don't know where the hospitality was. Please tell me clearly."
"..." Chen Xuan said nothing nonsense with a cold face. He was already extremely angry and grabbed the shopkeeper's shoulder with his claws.
There was only a "click" sound, and the huge force directly turned the shopkeeper's arm into a ball of flesh and blood!
Stimulated by this, the shopkeeper howled miserably, and most of the diners who were eating in the lobby looked over.
Only a few people in the world in the corner didn't even look back for the first time.
Chen Xuan threw the innkeeper away and walked quickly towards those people in the world.
The few people looked at each other, drew their swords and rushed over.
Chen Xuan swung out the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and fierce winds wrapped around his hand. With one claw, it was like steel, smashing the long knives of those people into pieces.
Then he shined a light on their heads, each with a claw, and only heard a few "puff" sounds. Several people collapsed to the ground, leaving only a young man who was the slowest to react.
Without saying anything, Chen Xuan hit his arm with a Nine-Yin White Bone Claw, and the fierce wind stirred up the flesh and blood on the man's hand.
He finally couldn't help but howl in pain.
"Yun...Yun comes to the inn!"
The next second, Chen Xuan disappeared into the inn, leaving only a few corpses.
Yunlai Inn is in the southeast corner of the town. Chen Xuan jumped up and planned to go straight to Yunlai Inn.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the inn, a young and handsome man in white walked up the night street, and a bloody long sword in his hand.
If it was half an hour ago, Chen Xuan might have had a good chat with him, but now Chen Xuan obviously was not in the mood.
The rose sword in Yan Nanfei's hand flashed with cold light, and the sword energy that escaped left two-foot-long sword marks on the plaque on a nearby store.
However, before he could draw his sword, his eyes suddenly blurred!
Chen Xuan used Lingbo Microstep, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Then Chen Xuan put a claw on his head, and the sharp claws of the Nine Yin White Bone Claws were so sharp that it made people's scalp ache.
numb.
Yan Nanfei was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.
"You are indeed very strong."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the person to me!"
"Who?" Yan Nanfei asked confused.
If it had been someone else, Chen Xuan might have raised his hand and killed him with one claw, but he had some impression of the swordsman in white in front of him.
Whether it's his attire or the bloody sword in his hand.
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice.
"You guys from the Blue Dragon Society kidnapped my family members."
Yan Nanfei was not surprised at all when he heard this.
The Green Dragon Society has always done things by unscrupulous means, killing people, setting fires, kidnapping and extorting. This kind of thing that is looked down upon in the eyes of decent people is just a way of making a living for the Blue Dragon Society.
Yan Nanfei looked at Chen Xuan and said.
"I can see that you are an infatuated gentleman, otherwise they would have given you money instead of kidnapping your wife."
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" Chen Xuan's voice was shaking with anger, and it was obvious that he was not able to speak well.
Yan Nanfei looked at Chen Xuan as if he were facing a tiger that chose to devour others.
Although Chen Xuan is not the kind of green forest man with a sinister face, at this moment Chen Xuan's emotions are constantly emanating from his aura.
Faintly, it's like an invisible pressure, making people feel fearful.
The huge momentum seemed to form circles of air waves with Chen Xuan as the center, so that the sound of the wind at night was instantly dimmed.
At this moment, Yan Nanfei finally fully realized how powerful Chen Xuan was.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Chen Xuan's ears.
[Rose Gentleman Yan Nanfei is shocked by your powerful strength, his favorability is +100 points, and his relationship with you has been upgraded from [Strangers] to [I regret meeting you late]. 】
The sudden system prompt made Chen Xuan calm down a little bit.
He knew that getting angry now would not solve the problem, so he could only ask in a deep voice.
"Where are they?"
"When I put on that bronze mask, I knew everything about the Blue Dragon Society, but when I took off that mask, I was an outsider just like you."
Perhaps noticing that Chen Xuan's face was getting colder, Yan Nanfei continued.
"But I can take you to find someone."
"Who?"
"A woman, she should be able to give you the answer."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly thought of the woman disguised as Cui Nong in the corridor of Peacock Villa.
It was obvious that the person who sneaked into the villa with Yan Nanfei was that woman.
Seeing that his expression softened, Yan Nanfei took him to the inn where he came from.
Chen Xuan and Yan Nanfei have only met a few times in total.
Seeing his unexpected cooperation at this moment, I couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Anything is fine."
"The leader of the Blue Dragon Society is named Gong Ziyu. I have been Gong Ziyu for many years. Now that I have lost this qualification, the affairs of the Blue Dragon Society naturally have nothing to do with me."
"What qualifications?"
"Only the strongest master in the world can wear a bronze mask and become Gong Ziyu. I used to think this person would be Fu Hongxue, but now I think this person will be you."
Yan Nanfei's words were very candid, and coupled with his handsome appearance, what he said was inexplicably convincing.
Chen Xuan felt that if the time and place were changed, maybe he could have a few drinks with Yan Nanfei and chat about the world and life, but that was definitely not possible now.
He followed Yan Nanfei to where the woman was.
Chen Xuan looked up and saw the four characters "Yunlai Inn" written on the plaque at the door.
Looks like you've come to the right place.
Yan Nanfei led Chen Xuan into the inn. As they walked upstairs, a figure suddenly flashed across the corner.
The two looked at each other and quickly chased after him.
Chen Xuan was anxious to find Li Qingluo and others. As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, he kicked open the wooden door.
There was only a muffled "bang" sound, which seemed a bit harsh in this quiet midnight.
There was no one in the house, only a wet footprint.
The footprints were very delicate, and maybe the flying swallow-like figure just now was a woman.
Yan Nanfei frowned and murmured, "Could it be her?"
Chen Xuandao: "Who is she?"
Yan Nanfei said: "Mingyue Xin."
Chen Xuan said coldly: "There is no moon in the sky, and the bright moon has no heart. Where does the bright moon's heart come from?"
Yan Nanfei sighed and smiled bitterly.
"You are wrong, and I was wrong too. It is not until now that I know Mingyue has intentions."
Chen Xuandao: "Is Mingyue Xin that woman?"
Yan Nanfei nodded.
Just when they thought Ming Yuexin had left, a woman suddenly walked out from behind the screen.
She was wrapped in a plain white singlet and walked out.
She glanced at Yan Nanfei and then at Chen Xuan, naturally knowing what was going on.
Facing Yan Nanfei who had left and returned, Ming Yuexin just said softly.
"It seems you still lost."
After saying that, she smiled at Chen Xuan and nodded slightly.
Her voice is nice and her smile is even better. Her attitude is very elegant and her dress is very light.
Maybe she is not the kind of beauty that makes you fall in love with her at first sight.
But when she walked out, it was like a late spring night, with a faint moonlight shining through the window, making people feel indescribable beauty, indescribable tranquility and happiness.
