Beiyin Great Sage

At this time of year, the leaves of the giant sycamore tree are fiery red, and the breeze blows like a sea of ​​fire, which is magnificent.

The past.

Such a view is worth stopping to take in, but the chaos that has spread to the inner city for the rest of the month has long left no one with time to pay attention to the beautiful scenery in front of them.

The fiery red leaves make people feel even more anxious.

Just like the people outside the inn at this time.

"Shopkeeper Xue's disappearance, what does it have to do with us?"

"Yes! Besides, he just disappeared and there is no evidence to prove that he is dead. What if he went out for fun and forgot to come back?"

"I refuse to accept that we will be sent back just because of a suspicious word!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"..."

The crowd's noise and resistance not only attracted the attention of nearby passers-by, but also made it increasingly difficult for the patrol team to suppress them.

"What are you doing!"

Leader Ren raised his voice and shouted:

"You want to rebel, don't you?"

He separated from the patrol and strode forward, took out the heavy black iron mace from his waist and threw it at the crowd without any scruples, and shouted angrily:

"Be honest, anyone who wants to die will get the hell over here!"

The heavy mace fell on his body, and his skin and flesh were immediately torn apart. For a moment, everyone screamed and was driven to a corner by him alone.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada.

But no one dared to really resist.

In Huojiabao, the patrol team affiliated with the Huo family is the largest law enforcement agency. In the inner city, several major forces must also be honest.

What's more, the one who took action was still a seventh-grade master.

"Everyone, stand still for me!"

Leader Ren's eyes widened, unable to hide his anger.

He has been friends with Shopkeeper Xue for decades, and there is no problem in saying that they are life-and-death friends. How could he not be angry when his friend disappeared for no reason.

Although he had been missing for several days, judging from the time, it was most likely the day after Dongcheng was born.

People of the day…

Everyone is suspected!

This time is different from what happened to Xiao Er Dongcheng. He is really angry and vows to find the murderer and avenge his friend.

As for people still alive?

This possibility is extremely slim!

Even if shopkeeper Xue gives up the inn business, can he still not deal with his son's death?

"Let me go." In the crowd, a person came closer and quietly handed over a money bag:

"I'm in charge of keeping the white-maned horses of the Kane family in the inner city and the outer city. I've been staying at the inn for a few days due to business, and I've never gone out randomly."

"I hope Ren will see clearly."

"It's from the Kane family." Leader Ren's expression changed slightly. He looked at the money bag in front of him, took a deep breath, and put it into his arms:

"I know, let's go!"

It is natural to avenge your friends, but you cannot add yourself to it.

"Yes, yes." The other party nodded repeatedly, bowed and retreated:

"If Ren Tou has time to go to the outer city, I will treat him well. I... take my leave first. I'll take my leave first."

"Sir." Two more people came out and handed over the money bag:

"We are from the Qian family. We just checked into the inn a few days ago and we have always been honest."

"The Qian family." Leader Ren's eyes flickered. He didn't accept the money this time and waved his hand directly:

"let's go!"

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Ren!"

Next, several more people walked out. They were either related to several big families in the inner city, or were dependents of big forces in the outer city.

Without exception, they were all accommodated.

Zhou Jia pursed his lips. He was also a member of the Fish and Dragon Society, but as the deputy director of the mine, he might not have that much dignity.

and……

The way Leader Ren looked over from time to time, he obviously still remembered the 'suspect' he had been appointed by Shopkeeper Xue.

Not to mention the others.

The Jiao sisters were close to Sister Cao, their faces were pale and their bodies were tense. They came from the barony and had no relatives here.

Sister Cao, neither can she.

"Third Elder!"

At this moment, Zhou Jia's eyes lit up, he hurriedly took two steps forward, and shouted at a passing carriage:

"Zhou Jia of the Fish and Dragon Society has met the third elder!"

"Well..." The curtain of the carriage that was about to be lowered opened again, revealing a charming and charming face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be mixed with water, crystal clear:

"Zhou Jia?"

"Exactly." Zhou Jia nodded heavily.

When he saw the carriage just now, he felt familiar. When Mrs. Wang heard the movement and opened the curtain, she was even more convinced that carriages were a rare thing here.

At that moment, he cupped his hands and said:

"My subordinate was recommended by Deacon Wei and is now the deputy director of the mine."

"Oh!" Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows slightly:

"I remembered, you are such a lucky star as Wei Zhixing said, what's going on?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the field.

"That's right." Zhou Jia bowed:

"The innkeeper is missing. Leader Ren suspects that the murderer is hiding among us, so he plans to take him back and investigate carefully."

"Shopkeeper Qingfengju." Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and smiled softly, with a smile as bright as a flower:

"What does his disappearance have to do with you? How can a person in this position be touched by a fifth-level person like you?"

"You think so, Leader Ren?"

"Mrs. Wang is right." Leader Ren lowered his head.

Facing this charming and gorgeous lady, he subconsciously took two steps back, as if he was extremely afraid, and even his voice was a little weaker.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said directly:

"Brother Zhou has no problem and can leave."

"And those three girls." Mrs. Wang nodded, then pointed at the three girls who were deliberately close to Zhou Jia, and said with a smile:

"What can these girls do?"

"Yes, yes." Leader Ren responded repeatedly.

"That's right." Mrs. Wang nodded and was about to lower the car curtain when she looked at Zhou Jia again:

"The society has not been very peaceful recently. Don't stay in the inner city all the time. It's time to go back and take a look. After all, you are also a member of the Fish and Dragon Society."

"Yes." Zhou Jia should be:

"My subordinate understands."

"Um."

The curtains were lowered, and the carriage drifted away with the fragrance.

To her, this scene was just a trivial matter, but to Zhou Jia, it was undoubtedly a big relief.

…………

Back in the guest room, the Jiao sisters had already thanked him profusely and left. The room became his only residence again, and the space became wider.

"go out?"

Zhou Jia touched the injury on his chest and shook his head gently:

"We have to wait until the injury is healed."

He is just the deputy director of a mine and earns a few Origin Stones a month. I believe that with his stature as a third elder, he doesn't have to pay that much attention.

Even if I go back a few days late, no one will find me.

However, after the battle with Shopkeeper Xue, he became more aware of his shortcomings.

Unlike others, most of his cultivation was brought up by Yuan Xing. He lacks fighting experience and has relatively loose martial arts skills.

Inciting violence, his strength is comparable to that of the eighth-grade, but when faced with the sixth-grade shopkeeper Xue, he almost died.

Empty strength, but no skills!

As for the other party's weird methods...

No one can guarantee that others will be safe. If this encounter is solved by luck, can we still rely on luck every time?

You can't relax in martial arts!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the pain in his chest and abdomen, Zhou Jia picked up the ax and shield and slowly started practicing in the room.

The shield counterattack has been perfected, but the proficiency has not yet reached the limit. I don’t know if there will be other changes after reaching the limit.

If not.

Even if this shield is perfect, its use is extremely limited.

There is also the splitting wind ax method...

Compared to the life-threatening sword, the martial arts skills on his body are of too low a level. Only by reaching a higher level can they be effective against masters.

Whether compared with Cao Honglai or Shopkeeper Xue, Zhou Jia's martial arts skills were too weak.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed.

This month, apart from renewing the rent, Zhou Jia encountered no other troubles, and the chaos in the outer city seemed to have subsided a lot.

Name: Zhou Jia

Cultivation: Sixth-grade mortal level marrow cutting (1231/8000)

Source Star: Tianying Star (Trait: Handling Weapons), Earth Star (Trait: Violence)

Kung Fu: Introduction to Three Yuan Zhengfa (120/300)

Martial skills: Shield Counter Perfection (367/1000), Shield Strike Proficiency (42/500), Wind Splitting Ax Proficiency (573/600), Nar Secret Breath Technique Introduction (41/200), Death Sword Proficiency (79/ 1000)

His cultivation level has not changed much, but his martial arts skills have been greatly improved. He has advanced to become proficient in shield strike, is about to break through in ax technique, and his proficiency in the deadly sword has greatly increased due to regular practice.

If he meets Shopkeeper Xue again, he is confident that he will not be so dangerous.

After checking his belongings, Zhou Jia walked out of the room.

It's time to go back!
