When night fell, Yue Cangqiong left his residence and quietly came to the inn and knocked on Xiao Bubai's door. []
Xiao Bubai had been waiting in the room for a long time. After confirming that Yue Cangqiong was outside the door, he opened the door and let him in.
Yue Cangqiong entered the house and said: "You are going to leave tonight. I will rearrange this place to make it look like you committed suicide." He took out the rope and dropped it on the beam.
"Why is it suicide? What should I do if the other party can't see the body after I leave?" Xiao Bubai couldn't help but ask.
"You don't have to worry about this. I will prepare the body separately, but you have to write a suicide note. I have prepared paper and pen for you. Just say that you have lived in Jingjimen for many years and have accomplished nothing. You are extremely depressed and unwilling to do anything.
Let me waste my time and seek understanding."
Xiao Bubai took the paper and pen from Yue Cangqiong's hand and was even more confused, but he didn't know what to ask anymore, so he immediately put it on the desk and started writing. Yue Cangqiong knew that he must be very confused, so he said: "Actually, this is the way to do this
It’s also for an old friend, does Senior Xiao still remember that there used to be a killer codenamed Phantom in Jingji Sect?”
"Phantom? This name must have disappeared for a long time. How did the young master know about it?"
"Because I saw Phantom yesterday. He is here, and he also knows about your existence. It was he who got rid of the assassin sent by Wei Shentong to kill you for you, and also pretended to commit suicide, which made Wei Shentong overwhelmed.
bother."
"I see. I didn't expect him to appear here. I will have to thank this person properly someday."
"That's right!" Yue Cangqiong nodded and said, "And I want to drag him into the water. I just used the opportunity of letting you fake death to frame this matter on him. I believe that the Phantom Killer will have to cooperate if he is forced to do so.
Let’s cooperate.”
"Young Master, this move of yours is quite cruel." Xiao Bubai couldn't help laughing, but he had to agree with Yue Cangqiong's method of doing things, "I just don't know whether the other party will do what we want, and what kind of person is he here?
What status?"
"When the time comes, I will naturally tell Mr. Xiao, and I will escort you away after the decoration here is ready." After Yue Cangqiong explained everything, he said no more and continued to fake the appearance of Xiao Bubai's suicide.
After arranging everything in the room, he secretly ordered the Wanxiang Yuanshen to set up a magic circle and restrict anyone from breaking in until a replacement body was found. Then he and Xiao Bubai quietly left in the dark.
The two of them left the inn and hurriedly walked outside the city. Yue Cangqiong pointed him in the direction of the Valley of Bones and asked him to join Su Chenfei. Not long after they left the inn, Yue Cangqiong felt that someone seemed to be following him behind him.
It seemed that Wei Shentong was not at ease with himself after all, so he sent a follower to monitor him, so he pretended not to notice at first, and when he reached the corner, he suddenly raised the Hundred-foot Spirit Leaf Sword, and a leaf sword quietly attacked the black man behind him.
Shadow.[~]
The black shadow couldn't guard against being attacked by someone, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it. At the same time, it showed its weapon, a bright machete lying across its palm, trying to block the leaf sword, but the force of Yue Qiong's casual blow was so great, and suddenly
The man was so shocked that he fell two or three steps away and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Flying forward across the sky, he punched the opponent's blade with a punch. At the peak of his divine power, he only used 30% to 40% of his strength. The opponent could no longer bear it. He flew far away with a snap and was broken four or five times after landing.
A rib, and I can't get up anymore.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Bubai did not stop, turned around and left, while Yue Cangqiong strode forward, stepped on the man's chest and said with a little force: "Who asked you to come?"
The other party snorted twice but did not answer, as if he wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Yue Cangqiong sneered, and was about to order the Wanxiang Yuanshen to find out the other party's direct lineage, but someone next to him said: "You don't have to, they are all Wei Shentong
One of my direct line killers just left to report the news, but I killed him."
A man wearing a mask appeared in the dark shadow, but his voice was that of Xie Rendeng whom he met last night. Looking across the sky, he saw a person lying at his feet. He must be the killer who reported the news. He immediately smiled and said: "It seems that you already have
That’s the answer.”
Xie Rendeng said lukewarmly: "You seem to have forced me to choose this answer. Didn't you want to frame me for the good thing you just did in the inn?"
Yue Cangqiong smiled slightly: "I'm just helping you make the right choice." He stepped hard and broke a few more ribs of the killer under him, sending him on his way completely.
"Kill decisively. You are indeed capable of great things." Xie Rendeng raised his foot and sent the man next to him to see the King of Hell. "I can agree to cooperate with you, but there are a few conditions."
"You say it, I'll listen." Yue Cangqiong nodded slightly, noncommittally.
"I want you to get rid of Wei Shentong within three days. I feel that he trusts me more and more. I can't give him a chance to get rid of me. Besides, I don't care what plans you have. You must not expose me unless it is absolutely necessary."
Of course, I will secretly assist you and provide you with any help. As for the future, all the properties within a hundred miles of this place will be owned by me. I will still have the final say in the Thirteenth Hall, and there will no longer be any restrictions.
My deputy hall master."
Such harsh conditions are more like threats. After hearing this, Yue Cangqiong felt that he did not want to die, but a murderous intention secretly rose in his heart. Xie Rendeng, you are indeed not an ordinary person, you are greedy, vicious and cruel.
However, Yue Cangqiong nodded without thinking and said: "Nothing is a problem, but if Wei Shentong is removed, the Wang family will definitely react. You have to deal with the next turmoil yourself."
"Deal!" Xie Rendeng agreed and disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
Watching the other party leave, Yue Cangqiong also dragged the corpse on the ground back to the inn quietly. In Xiao Bubai's room, he cleverly set up a magic circle to make outsiders think that the corpse was Xiao Bubai. I believe that tomorrow Wei
STO will be surprised.[ ~]
When we returned, it was already dawn. Yue Qianqiong banged on the door desperately to report the news inside. When the housekeeper opened the door, he saw it was him and hurriedly asked: "How is it?"
Yue Cangqiong deliberately frowned and said, "It's hard to say. Let me go in and report to the deputy hall master."
Lao Qiu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took him in to meet Wei Shentong. Wei Shentong had already woken up at this moment. None of the subordinates he sent out yesterday came back to report, which made him uneasy all night. At this time, Yue Cangqiong came back alone.
, which really surprised him.
"Brother Yue, please sit down, how are things going?" Wei Shentong politely gave up his seat to Yue Cangqiong, but Yue Cangqiong deliberately stood there and said with an unhappy face: "Deputy Hall Master, if you don't trust me, you can
Why send someone to follow me secretly when you kick me out?"
"Well, I'm also worried about Brother Yue's safety, so I sent a few more subordinates. Are they okay?"
"It's hard to say. Last night I noticed someone was following me, so I struggled with him for a while. I picked him up too late, but was overtaken by the mysterious killer. Xiao Bubai died, but he didn't die in my hands.
, was murdered and disguised as suicide again."
"What?" Wei Shentong couldn't help being shocked. This situation was something he never expected. He got up and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps before saying, "Lao Qiu, send someone to the inn immediately to see what's going on.
Please do not make the Kowloon Gang unhappy, and try to make this matter as if it were done by an outsider."
"You said that mysterious killer, have you seen it?" Wei Shentong turned around and asked Yue Cangqiong again. In the middle of the sentence, he suddenly stopped Lao Qiu who was about to go out, "Also, have the two people sent out last night come back?
Get it back to me as soon as possible."
"Why, those two brothers haven't come back yet?" Yue Cangqiong asked with a surprised look on his face, pretending to be very puzzled, "I thought they had come to report early."
Wei Shentong said with a wry smile: "The trouble lies here. Everyone is still coming back. If Brother Yue comes back now, I won't have any news at all."
Yue Cangqiong secretly smiled in his heart, you don't have to thank me, I will take your head within three days, so Xingxing also started to worry about him: "This is weird, does the deputy hall master want me to do anything at this moment?"
"
"That's not necessary. Brother Yue has worked hard all night, so he should go to rest early." Wei Shentong waved his hand and arranged for Yue Cangqiong to go to rest early.
Yue Cangqiong said goodbye and left, saying in his heart that you were busy, so I went back and took a nap before talking. I immediately returned to the room and fell on the bed, covering my head and falling asleep.
When I woke up, it was evening again. There was a maid knocking on the door and coming to deliver food. Yue Cangqiong got up and sat back on the bed. While eating, he asked the maid about the situation in the Wei Mansion at the moment.
The maidservant was extremely nervous. She only said that Wei Shentong had lost his temper for a whole day and almost no one dared to offend him. The housekeeper Lao Qiu went out several times to discuss important matters with Shang, but they were servants.
I dare not say more.
Yue Cangqiong nodded. This was almost as expected. The news of Xiao Bubai's death might have alarmed the forces of the Kowloon Gang in the city. Coupled with the innocent missing men, Wei Shentong was enough to keep busy, so he asked the maid to leave on her own.
Start preparing your plans for tonight.
He planned to wait until midnight, disguised as a phantom killer, sneak into Wei Shentong's room, and use Xie Rendeng's method to kill Wei Shentong. This plan was bold and insidious. Wei Shentong must have been in poor spirits after a busy day, and the two of them were
His cultivation level was already down by more than one level, so it would not be easy to kill him.
Yue Qiong regained his energy and waited quietly for the arrival of midnight. Then he put on his night clothes, put on the ghost mask he bought during the day, and quietly sneaked out of the room and went to Wei Shentong's room.
At this moment, there was no one in the courtyard, and no sound could be heard. Only Wei Shentong's room was still lit with candles. He must have been so worried that he couldn't sleep peacefully. He approached quietly across the sky, listened carefully, and heard Wei Shentong inside.
The ground pulled back to pace, thinking a lot.
He listened quietly for a moment, then quietly summoned the spirit of all things to set up a magic circle, covering the room where Wei Shentong was, then opened the door and strode in.
Wei Shentong unexpectedly saw a strange man wearing a mask walking outside. His face darkened and he reached out to grab the weapon hanging on the wall, but Yue Cangqiong struck him hard on the back of his hand with a Shattering Dust Knife.
"You've been looking for me for a long time, so why do you start to attack me when we meet?" Yue Cangqiong said in a changing voice.
"Are you a phantom?" Wei Shentong's eyes narrowed, he took a step back and sneered, "How dare you appear in front of me in a grand manner, without fear of alarming the people in my house?"
"So what if you're alarmed?" Yue Cangqiong actually smiled under the mask, "Tonight is the day of your death." He raised his hands suddenly, stretched out two leaf swords, and suddenly stabbed Wei Shentong in front of him.
.
In desperation, Wei Shentong used his hand instead of a knife and struck out with a forceful palm, slicing the leaf sword. There was a harsh friction sound out of thin air, and the leaf sword was mysteriously broken by him.
"How can I say that I, Wei Shentong, am also an eighth-level martial artist nicknamed the Furious Sword General, how could I fall into your hands so easily?" Wei Shentong said with a cold smile, "Who are you, and why did you sneak into my house?
thing?"
"For something you can't think of." Yue Cangqiong's movement changed strangely, and he suddenly circled around Wei Shentong several times. Wei Shentong waved his knife and counterattacked continuously, but could not hurt him. He said angrily: "What are you playing at?"
You're playing tricks, but you don't dare to fight me in real terms. Could it be that you are just a guy who hides his head and shows his tail?"
Yue Cang Qiong did not answer, and turned around twice more, then suddenly stopped, opened his arms, and pinched his fingers, as if he was controlling something, with an unprecedented secrecy on his face: "At this moment, whatever I say, you do.
What, you will be a puppet in my hands."
But when he saw his left hand holding his hand, Wei Shentong couldn't help but take a step forward. As if he was unwilling to do so, he stretched out his palm and slashed his chest with a knife.
"What did you do to me?" Wei Shentong finally became frightened. He felt as if he was being controlled by the other party and was actually doing these actions out of control.
When that palm struck, his chest suddenly surged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. But that wasn't the end, as two more palms struck him, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to spit out blood.
He took a step back and leaned on the bed behind him, but he stretched out a hand, dipped it in the blood on the ground, and fingered a piece of rice paper floating in front of him to write on it.
"I, Wei Shentong, the deputy head of the Thirteenth Hall, have not done my job well and only caused trouble. I am ashamed of the cultivation of Master Wang, and have brought shame to the Jingji Sect. I have no face to live in the gang anymore. Now I am extinct from the world. But
I wish I could die to forgive my sins."
When he finished writing the last word, Wei Shentong almost understood what the previous murder case was about.
The terrifying puppetry technique controls a person's actions, watching him write a suicide note, and then commit suicide. Does the story end here?
Wei Shentong looked at his raised right hand, couldn't help but stare at Yue Cangqiong, and finally opened his mouth to ask: "Is it all your fault?"
"Yes, or no, is there any meaning at this moment?" Yue Cangqiong pulled his right hand, pulling the invisible Qi at his fingertips, and watched Wei Shentong swing a palm with all his strength and chop it down on his neck.
Click! He actually cut off his own head!
The head rolled on the ground with a rumble, but the eyes were still wide open.
"Farewell!" Yue Cangqiong turned around and left without looking further.
In the dark shadow under the night sky, a person stood silently, with a strange mask on his face.
Xie Rendeng, Phantom Killer!
"Done?" Xie Rendeng asked.
"It's that simple!" Yue Cangqiong spread his hands, indicating that there was no difficulty.
"When did you learn the puppetry technique?" Xie Rendeng still asked coldly.
"Smart people, sometimes they can learn a lot of things just by looking at them." Yue Cangqiong concealed the fact that Wanxiang Yuanshen pointed out to him, "The so-called puppetry is just a trick that cleverly uses the energy and stickiness.
It's difficult to learn. What's rare is that you also combine the illusion and disguise. I really want to know what you are like under the mask."
Xie Rendeng smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, you will see the face I have used the most."
After saying that, the figure disappeared into the night again.
Standing quietly in the dark night across the sky, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, it is a good time to kill.
