Nightmare Apostle

After two days of peace, Yang Xiao received news from Xiangma Town. Ling Yanyu brought some bad news. Their business in the town was smashed. Jinshe went to argue, but was also beaten and captured. The other party also offered a price and asked them to bring the goods to redeem the people. They only gave them three days. If they didn't go, they would kill them. Now it's the second day.

"What do they want?" Yang Xiao asked.

"They want a fierce-level magic weapon, plus three resentment-level magic weapons, and they don't interfere with our business, but they want to take half of the profit."

After hearing Ling Yanyu's words, Yang Xiao almost laughed out of anger. This is not extortion, it's clearly robbery. This is someone who wants to drive them out of Xiangma Town, so they offer this outrageous condition. The other party also knows that this is absolutely impossible to agree to.

"Do you know who did it?"

"Not sure yet. The people who are causing trouble are not from the town. Their base is in the nearby Qinghe Town." Ling Yanyu seemed to be worried that Yang Xiao would not be able to figure out the location, so he explained, "Qinghe Town is not far to the west of Xiangma Town. The town is not big, and it is considered a transit station. Many goods shipped to Xiangma Town have to go through there."

"Don't act rashly. What you need to do now is to find out the exact whereabouts of this group of people. I will rush back now. Everything will be planned after I return."

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao was ready to leave, but before that, he first went to meet Yang Cha and Tong Han. On the one hand, he said goodbye in person, and on the other hand, he was also informing the old patriarch of his impending departure. After all, he had no way to contact the old patriarch.

When he went back to the apartment to pack his things, he booked a flight first, and then waited for two hours. The old patriarch did not show up, so he should leave. After all, it was no wonder that he left without saying goodbye. Yang Cha drove the car,

carrying Yang Xiao and Tong Han to the airport together. Tong Han asked Yang Xiao seriously if he needed help on this trip. If he needed it, she could go with him.

"I appreciate your kindness. It's nothing serious. I can do it alone." Yang Xiao smiled and comforted, and at the same time advised Tong Han to study here with peace of mind. When he has time, he will come back to see everyone.

This sleep on the plane was the most peaceful sleep he had in such a long time. After all, he didn't believe that the old patriarch who was busy with all kinds of affairs could follow him all the way to the plane. In the end, he was just a Li-level apostle, but he was a little luckier and got some high-level magic tools.

After a bumpy ride, it was already the afternoon of the third day when they arrived at Xiangma Town. There were less than 10 hours left before the Golden Snake was killed. When they rushed back to the teahouse, Ling Yanyu was already waiting with Yun Hufa.

Seeing Yang Xiao, Ling Yanyu's nervous eyes gradually relaxed. After all, Yang Xiao was the backbone and the one who could really take charge, and he was at best a housekeeper.

"Master, you are finally back!" Ling Yanyu went to meet him with Yun Hufa.

"Have you found out the specific location of the prisoners?" Yang Xiao took off his tiredness, sat on the first seat of the sofa, and got straight to the point.

"I have found out. The people are locked up in a wood processing factory in Qinghe Town, and there are about a dozen people guarding them." Ling Yanyu took a drawing from the table and unfolded it quickly. This was a hand-drawn floor plan of the processing factory, and several key locations on it were marked in detail.

"Very good, do you know where these people came from?" After checking the drawing, Yang Xiao raised his head and looked at Ling Yanyu and the others.

The guardian Yun, who was dressed in black, said with a rather strange expression, "The other party is a small gang, the kind that is not well-known. They have been in Qinghe Town for many years and have nothing to do with us. Moreover, we have never heard of any masters in the gang."

"But I heard that the people who went with the Golden Snake came back to report that a guy from the opposite gang captured the Golden Snake with just one move."

The Golden Snake was taken down with one move. Even if it was a sneak attack, it was enough to show that the strength of the two was not at the same level at all. It can be preliminarily concluded that this person should have strength above the Li level.

Such a person would not condescend to live in an unknown small gang that does not even have apostles. Yang Xiao judged that this guy must have been sent to cause trouble. There must be someone behind him, and this person behind him is a certain force in the town.

The one who can instruct the apostles of the Li generation to run errands must not be an ordinary force behind him. The first person Yang Xiao thought of was the white-clothed scholar Ping Xihou.

Last time, Taoist Qingfeng appeared and saved him, which also made Pingxi Hou suffer a loss. I think the other party couldn't swallow this breath, and was worried that he would offend the Peace Hotel represented by Taoist Qingfeng, so he found an unknown small gang to be the first bird.

Moreover, the other party is not a force in Xiangma Town, and the Peace Hotel can't control it with a long arm. After all, there are still some rules to follow.

But a new problem has arisen. How did Pingxi Hou know about his relationship with the Sun and Moon Sect? When he went to kill people, he changed his clothes and wore a mask.

"Is Pingxi Hou in the town during this period?" Yang Xiao suddenly asked.

"Yes." Yun Hufa nodded first.

"Are you sure?" Yang Xiao has also seen some of Pingxi Hou's men. Most of them are apostles of the Yuan generation, and there are also a few of the Li generation. Now he is not afraid of these guys. What he wants to make sure is that Pingxi Hou himself will not appear in Qinghe Town.

"Confirmed." Ling Yanyu also explained, "In recent days, the Peace Hotel has taken the lead in holding a meeting for the four major families in the southeast, northwest, and northeast. The territories have been redistributed according to their strength. The leaders of the four major families are all in the Peace Hotel."

Now that Heping Hotel has come forward, Yang Xiao doesn't have to worry about Ping Xihou daring to use deception, so the next thing will be much simpler. He plans to explore Qinghe Town at night to see what tricks these guys have set for him.

As long as no Nether-level apostle appears, even if he cannot defeat him, he can still run away. Moreover, with this magic weapon in hand, plus the newly acquired old ghost in Taoist robes, even an ordinary Nether-level apostle wants to stay. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get rid of him.

And he also wanted to find a similar opponent to test the ability of this old ghost in Taoist robes. He once stepped into the underworld with half a foot and killed the big devil in half of the world. It was fascinating to think about it.

He did not let Ling Yanyu arrange the vehicle. For confidentiality reasons, he used the ability of the soul-capturing mirror to leave the teahouse without anyone noticing, then stopped a black car outside the town and drove straight to Qinghe Town.

As a cover, he asked Ling Yanyu to arrange a group of people, bring a large amount of cash and gold bars, and take several cars. Half an hour after he left, they went to Qinghe Town, showing signs of submission and wanting to negotiate.

Yang Xiao arrived at Qinghe Town first. This was a small town much smaller and poorer than Xiangma Town. It was located at the foot of a mountain. After getting off the car, he took the map with him and quickly found the timber at the foot of a hill to the west of the town. processing plant.

Using the power of the soul-capturing mirror, he came to the factory where the golden snake was kept. When he saw the golden snake, Yang Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath. He saw that the golden snake was naked from the waist up and was hung up by a thick hemp rope. It had been beaten all over. At this moment, his head was lowered, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Around the Golden Snake, there were some people eating hot pot. The leader was a fat man with a fat head and big ears, wearing a gold necklace as thick as his finger. He looked ferocious, but his strength was very average, and he looked like a resentful apostle.

He was probably not the one who injured the golden snake. Yang Xiao was very patient, constantly changing his position and hiding in the dark to observe.

Soon, he discovered the clues. In the simple guard room behind the gate outside, there was an old man wearing an old-style security uniform. This man was eating instant noodles and drinking tea brewed in a pond porcelain vat. Everything looked like something. They are all so simple and unpretentious, but Yang Xiao knows that he is the most troublesome existence among these people. He is a Li level apostle, and he is also a master among Li level.

Originally, it was the best idea to deal with this person first, but there is no good teleportation point next to the old man. Once he takes action, people in the factory are likely to get angry after hearing the news. By then, Jin Snake's life will still not be saved. This person Now that he has surrendered to him, Yang Xiao will do his best to keep him safe.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao quietly retreated, returned to the factory, put on a mask, rushed out, and vented all the evil fire on the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. As soon as the ghost whisk came out, he directly killed the resentful man who was eating hot pot around the table. The fat man of this generation merged with his beloved copper hot pot. Two of the other 7 or 8 minions were frightened to death when they saw this, and the rest were taken care of by Yang Xiao.

The commotion here was not small. After Yang Xiao put down the golden snake, others were already unconscious. As the iron door was opened, the old man with a strong character disguised as a security guard also broke in. , staring at Yang Xiao with a sinister expression.

The old man was holding the plain square enamel jar in his hand. The corners of his mouth were cracked, revealing his ugly gums.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time...:

As soon as these words came out, the uneasiness in Yang Xiao's heart instantly materialized. Although the old man was strong, they were both powerful apostles. They might not be able to defeat him in a one-on-one situation, but it seemed that the old man was very capable of today's battle. confidence.

He held a human bone stick in his left hand and a ghost whisk in his right hand. The next second, Yang Xiao frowned suddenly, but before he could turn around, he saw a crutch suddenly piercing his abdomen from behind. All over the place.

Without waiting for the crutch to exert force sideways and tear itself apart, Yang Xiao grabbed one end of the crutch, twisted it hard, pulled his body out of the crutch, and turned around while kneeling, only to see the golden snake quickly take a few steps back. Holding the crutch, he looked at him with a ferocious smile.

"Lord Leader, times have changed, hehehe.
