King of Assassins

Qingyun Temple is not big, but the temple is very impressive. The Supreme Immortal Lord is enshrined in the middle, and an everlasting lamp is placed on the incense table.

Half a man's height is in a three-legged incense burner, filled with smoke.

The green bricks on the floor were polished smooth and seamless, and there were several oil lamps hanging on the pillars on both sides.

Even so, the light in the hall seemed quite dim.

Xiaolian stood in the center of the hall, a little at a loss. This is the first time in her life that she has entered such a clean and spacious room.

The statues in the main hall are a bit scary amidst the smoke.

Xiaolian is usually adventurous, but that was on a familiar boat and in a familiar lake. She was even more uneasy after being separated from her usual familiar environment and her mother was gone.

Gao Xuan flicked his sleeves and a futon slid in front of Xiaolian: "Sit down."

Xiaolian hesitated for a moment but still didn't sit down. She said a little shyly: "My clothes are not clean."

"It's okay. Sit down."

Gao Xuan said softly: "Futons are meant for people to sit on."

With that said, he also sat down on the futon.

Xiaolian saw Gao Xuan sitting down, and then she tentatively sat down opposite Gao Xuan. But she sat directly on the ground.

Gao Xuan didn't care about these details. He asked, "What are your plans in the future?"

Xiaolian looked confused: "I, I don't know."

She grew up on a fishing boat with her mother and had no other relatives except her mother. She only knows how to fish, but besides that, she doesn’t know what else she can do.

Gao Xuan was also a little embarrassed. If Xiaolian was a boy, he could naturally be placed in a Taoist temple. Not so with girls.

They are serious Taoists and it is impossible to raise a girl in a Taoist temple. If word spreads, the reputation of Qingyun Temple will be ruined.

This kind of behavior also damages the reputation of the Taoist sect, and other Taoist sects cannot tolerate it. Even if he wasn't afraid, things would still be very troublesome. It is even more detrimental to Xiaolian.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "You stay here for two days first. Let's wait until the Zhang family's affairs are settled."

Xiaolian nodded,

She couldn't help but ask: "What about my boat?"

Gao Xuan laughed dumbly: "I'll find someone to watch it for you. You don't need to worry about it yet."

Xiaolian was a little worried. She whispered: "I still have hundreds of dollars hidden on my boat. Can I go get it back first?"

She followed Gao Xuan in a hurry, and she had just experienced the great change of her mother's death. She was so distracted that she even forgot about her own money.

Now that she calmed down, she immediately thought of the hundreds of dollars she and her mother had saved so hard.

"I'll get it for you. You stay here to rest and don't wander around."

Gao Xuan warned: "The Zhang family will not give up. It will take some time to resolve the matter."

Xiaolian was helpless. She had seen Gao Xuan's abilities and was full of awe for the little Taoist priest. She did not dare to refute him now.

"You go and rest first."

Gao Xuan said: "I'll find you two more sets of clean clothes to wear for now..."

When Gao Xuan said this, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He raised his voice and said to the door: "Since you are here, please come in."

The door of the main hall was pushed open, and Taoist Yuyang and Taoist Lingyang walked into the main hall.

Both Taoists wore gorgeous Taoist robes, carried long swords on their backs, and held fly whisks in their hands.

When it comes to appearance, he indeed has the demeanor of a Taoist master.

When Taoist Yuyang entered the main hall, he immediately saw Xiaolian. Xiaolian, who was wearing short clothes, looked like a poor girl. He sneered: "Gao Xuan, it was you who killed Master Zhang."

Gao Xuan stood up from the futon and smiled at Taoist Yuyang: "The two Taiyi masters are standing up for Zhang Dongcheng."

He said: "Why, after seeing my master pass away, I want to bully others."

Taoist Yuyang was said to be a little embarrassed. If Master Gao Xuan were alive, they would not come to ask questions directly.

Since there is only one successor left in Qingyun Temple, and he is young, so what if he is killed.

Taoist Yuyang said in a deep voice: "Gao Xuan, you should pay with your life for killing Young Master Zhang."

"Master Zhang insulted the fisherman and ordered his men to throw the fisherman into the water to feed the fish monster. He deserves to be punished for his crime."

Gao Xuan also became serious: "I am enforcing the law for Heaven, so why am I guilty?"

"You are guilty when I say you are guilty."

Taoist Yuyang didn't want to reason with Gao Xuan. He casually pulled out the long sword from his back and shouted in a low voice: "Kneel down and suffer death."

Killing Gao Xuan will not only satisfy Zhang Dongcheng, but also seize Qingyun Temple by force. Qingyun Temple's ancestral Shenxiao Thunder Zhengfa comes from the same source as their Taiyi Thunder Master Curse, so they can be compared and used as reference.

Taoist Yuyang had already thought about it before he came here. Regardless of whether it was Gao Xuan who did it or not, he would just kill Gao Xuan and kill two birds with one stone.

Taoist Lingyang, who was following Taoist Yuyang, remained silent. He just stared at Gao Xuan with his gloomy old eyes.

Gao Xuan's eyes were closed, which always made him feel a little weird.

However, the two of them are fifty or sixty years older than Gao Xuan, and they can also suppress him with their cultivation.

Gao Xuan smiled at Taoist Yuyang who was drawing his sword: "You are worthy of it?"

"The evil is unbridled."

After Taoist Yuyang made the seal with his hand, he stretched out his hand and touched the blade of the sword, and the pine-patterned sword had a layer of sparkling electric light.

This method is exactly the Taiyi Lei Zun Mantra. Use the mantra to bless the sword and kill demons without any disadvantage.

Taoist Yuyang's swordsmanship is extremely high, and the ancient pine pattern sword has already pierced Gao Xuan's chest with one move.

The sparkling sword blade left a long trace of light in the dark hall.

Under the electric light, Taoist Yuyang has a long beard flying, his clothes and sleeves are raised, and his sword-wielding posture is quite chic.

Xiao Lian was frightened at the side. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was open, wanting to scream but not daring to scream.

From her point of view, Gao Xuan was definitely defeated. Because the other parties are two old men, the old man is of course more powerful. The momentum of this move was even more frightening.

Xiaolian also understood that if something happened to Gao Xuan, she would not be able to survive.

However, she relaxed at this moment. Her mother is dead anyway, so there is no point in her living. It seems good to die together with Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn't want to die, and the abilities of the other two Taoists posed no threat to him. Even if he is not possessed, he can still deal with Yuyang with his original owner's abilities.

Facing the piercing electric light and shining sword edge, Gao Xuan stretched out his index finger and casually touched the sword edge.

A ray of blazing lightning flashed from his fingertips and fell on the sword's edge, suddenly becoming powerful.

The blazing thunder suddenly enveloped Taoist Yuyang, and his whole body became transparent and glowing in the strong light.

Taoist Lingyang who was watching the battle realized something was wrong. He drew his sword and wanted to help, but it was too late.

With a flash of lightning, the battle was over.

Taoist Yuyang was covered in charcoal black from head to toe, and his body even gave off a strong smell of burnt meat.

Taoist Ling Yang stared at his junior brother who was killed with one move.

He had also heard of Gao Xuan of Qingyun Temple, who was said to be a very talented young man.

However, he never expected that Gao Xuan was so powerful.

The five disciples of Taiyi Changchun Temple have similar cultivation levels. Yuyang is especially good at swordsmanship.

Yuyang was killed with one move, and Taoist Lingyang was frightened. He knew that his cultivation level was similar to that of Yuyang, and he would definitely not be able to defeat Gao Xuan.

Looking at Gao Xuanqi's calm and relaxed look, it seemed as if he was not exerting any force.

But now that things have reached this point, how will it end?

Taoist Lingyang was in a dilemma, Yuyang acted recklessly, not only ruining himself, but also dragging them down.

At this point, Taoist Lingyang is only thinking about how to escape safely first, and then find a way to deal with Gao Xuan.

However, Gao Xuan waved his hand to Taoist Ling Yang: "Take your people away. I will go find your Changchun Guan theory tomorrow."

Taoist Lingyang was stunned for a moment, but he did not dare to say anything after all. He picked up Taoist Yuyang's charcoal-black body, hurriedly left the hall, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Xiaolian was shocked, and the two powerful enemies were dealt with just like that. She said with admiration: "You are so awesome."

"You go and rest first."

Gao Xuan said: "Leave the rest to me."

Gao Xuan settled Xiaolian and then returned to the main hall. Lao Miaozhu has tidied up the main hall again.

When Lao Miao Zhu saw Gao Xuan, he hesitated to speak, but when he thought about the carbonized fragments left in the main hall, he swallowed all his words.

Gao Xuan is so powerful, it is impossible to listen to him. At this point, he could only follow Gao Xuan. There is no other way.

Gao Xuan ignored the old temple blessing, he sat cross-legged on the futon, and with a thought, the invisible cicada-winged sword flew out silently.

At this time, Zhang Dongcheng was decorating the mourning hall at his home and busy with funeral arrangements for his son.

Many dignitaries in the city rushed over after hearing the news.

A group of big shots were sitting in the back hall, talking to Zhang Dongcheng about today's events.

When they heard that it was Mr. Zhang who was killed by Qingyun Guan, everyone was filled with indignation.

"Qingyun Temple, a small Taoist temple, actually dares to be so rampant."

"There are only two or three people in Qingyun Temple, and they dare to kill people!"

"It's totally outrageous."

Zhang Dongcheng raised his hand to the superior magistrate, Lord Zhizhou, and said, "I have to ask you to make the decision for my family on this matter."

Lord Zhizhou twirled his long beard and nodded: "This is natural."

Zhang Dongcheng said with a stern face: "I want Qingyun Temple to pay with blood."

Before he could finish his sentence, his head suddenly rolled to the ground, all the way to the feet of Master Zhizhou.

The back hall was brightly lit, making it look like daylight.

Master Zhizhou could even clearly see the angry expression on Zhang Dongcheng's face, but without the body, the head looked extremely sad.

Several masters from the Zhang family noticed something was wrong and drew their swords one after another and shouted: "There is an assassin."

Many dignitaries also changed their faces in fear. They huddled in their chairs and looked around, but couldn't see anything.

Several Zhang family masters who drew their swords and shouted, only shouted once. Then, each head silently rolled to the ground.

Death came so suddenly and so strangely.

Many dignitaries couldn't bear it anymore. I don't know who was the leader. They yelled and ran out.

Lord Zhizhou was the fastest runner, and a group of people ran outside, shouting. Extremely panicked and embarrassed.

There were also people who stayed where they were, but it was not that they didn't want to run, but that they were so frightened that they were incontinent. They lay on the ground twitching all over and couldn't run even if they wanted to.

The next day, the news about the Zhang family spread throughout Anzhou City. I don't know how many people applauded.

In this world, poor people always hate rich people. What's more, Zhang Dongcheng is a notorious villain in Anzhou City for his ruthless methods. Upon hearing that he was killed, some people even set off firecrackers in celebration.

The dignitaries in Anzhou City were as quiet as dead chickens, and no one stood up and said anything.

The killing last night scared them to death.

In Changchun Temple, Taoist Ling Yang, Taoist Huang Yang, Taoist Chunyang, and Yuanyang Taoist, the four strongest Taoist masters, were sitting in the main hall, all with bitter looks on their faces.

Zhang Dongcheng was killed last night, and they went to Zhang's house to see the situation.

There is no doubt that Zhang Dongcheng was killed by the flying sword.

At such a young age, Gao Xuan actually mastered flying swords. Flying swords can kill people thousands of miles away and come and go without leaving a trace. This kind of people are already like loose immortals on land. How could they offend these little Taoist priests?

But they had already become enemies with Gao Xuan, and there was nothing they could do.

A little Taoist boy ran in hurriedly, "Masters, a young Taoist who calls himself Gao Xuan has already broken in."

Before the Tao fairy tale fell, Lingyang Taoist and others saw Gao Xuan.

The sun fell from the east and was shining on the side of Gao Xuan's face. Gao Xuan was wearing a plain white Taoist robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his grace was outstanding. He really looks like a swordsman.

When Gao Xuan entered the main hall, before he could speak, Taoist Lingyang took a step forward and knelt down, bowing his head: "Master, I was wrong to wait. I will let you go and have no complaints..."
