At that moment, a sharp sword light flew towards him, deflecting the fatal blade.

Soon enough, a man in green stepped on the flying sword and kicked the young bodyguard away. Silver light flashed around his waist and the sword was unsheathed. The flying sword grazed the young bodyguard's face and was inserted into the silver box on the carriage. The young bodyguard fell to the ground and fell next to the older bodyguard who was seriously injured but still holding the sword.

Although the man in green wielded a sword, his swordsmanship was sharp and domineering, severely suppressing Yin Xin's offensive with the sword technique. Both of their attacks were fast and ruthless. In a moment, more than ten moves had been made, and Yin Xin was suppressed to death.

Yin Xin made a feint, used her strength to move away, and asked in a cold voice:"Who's coming!" The man in

Tsing Yi held a long sword, and under his light-colored hair that was wetted by the rain was a pair of ice-blue pupils like a cheetah. The person is Liang Congyun. He looked arrogantly through the rain curtain at the somewhat embarrassed Yin Xin and three other men in brocade clothes, and opened his mouth.

At the same time, on different roads, Song Lian, Sun Zhaoyang, Zhao Yanyan, Wei Meng, and Yu Gengze also said got the same answer——

"It’s a robbery!"

The night was dark, and the afternoon autumn rain washed away the last heat of the heat in Hunan. Although the rain stopped after nightfall, the temperature dropped suddenly. The heavy wheels were driving forward on the muddy road trodden by the horses' hooves. The horse at the front of the convoy was Sitting there was a young man in brown brocade clothes, Zhan Jiuqing. He was a disciple of Zhuo Yansong, and he was also the only disciple who went west to Jingzhou last night. Oh no, it was already past midnight, it should be said that it was the night before.

Zhan Jiuqing was the only one among the group of people who set out the night before who had not received the order to kill him. It was not because Zhuo Yansong gave him preferential treatment. On the contrary, it was precisely because he was not reused that this task fell on him. Sanjiangkou is a very special hall. It belongs to the Eighteenth Hall of Jiuzhaigou, but it is not completely under the control of Zhuo Yansong. The financial resources of Sanjiangkou are indeed firmly in the hands of Wufu Tower, but the people who own the hall are not simple bandits or water bandits. But he is a member of the Xuanzhen Sect.

Strictly speaking, Zhan Jiuqing is not Zhuo Yansong's confidant. Of course, he does not consciously worship Zhuo Yansong blindly like Yin Xin and his gang. However, Zhuo Yansong means to appoint talents and make use of them. , regardless of family background, talent, but in fact, what he does is not much different from those high-ranking elders, it just depends more on Zhuo Yansong's preferences. For example, Fang Zhuo Yansong doesn't like those who look old or ugly. It is said that appearance comes from the heart. Being ugly must have poor aptitude. Only with mediocre talent can one cultivate to a state that other young people can achieve at an early age. A casual cultivator like him who came from a humble background and has no one to rely on can be in Zhuo Yansong. The fact that he got a place among his peers may be due to the help of his unworthy Huangpizi master who helped him change his skin.

However, Zhan Jiuqing did not resent Zhuo Yansong for this. After all, this was something that could not be done. Looking at the entire world of cultivating immortals, Which of the Lingxiao Red Refined Penglai Supreme Purities is not like this? Even the Lotus Terrace, Yaowang Valley and the like also depend on the aristocratic families. If Tai'an wants to quickly occupy a place in the Immortal League, it is natural to avoid secularism. In this world of immortality, how can wealth and glory be better?

However, Zhuo, The path Yansong has taken in recent years has become more and more dangerous.

Perhaps, it is time to find another way out.

Zhan Jiuqing feels that he sees the most clearly among his classmates, even more clearly than his nominal"master" Zhuo Yansong Zhuo Yansong wanted them to kill the people of the Eighteenth Hall of Jiuzhaigou for two reasons: 1. Most of the demon soldiers have been completed, and more than half of the barbarians and bandits in southern Xinjiang have been integrated. There is no longer much use for the Eighteenth Hall of Jiuzhaigou. Second, the Shangqing Sect and the imperial court have noticed the situation here, and keeping the Jiuzhai Eighteen Halls will sooner or later become a drag. And the reason why he can see more clearly than Zhuo Yansong is because Zhuo Yansong understands the second point In fact, he was not completely sure, but relied on his extraordinary intuition and iron fist to make a decision, and he, he could be sure that the group of people from the Shangqing Sect came for the Eighteenth Hall of Jiuzhaigou!

Zhan Jiuqing was thinking about the people behind him. The leader of the escort suddenly came to him and asked:"Master Zhan, it's late at night, the road is difficult to walk at night, and the escort is so heavy. Quning Town is in front of us. How about we rest there for a while and start again at dawn?""

Zhan Jiuqing thought for a while. In fact, he was not worried about robbing the bodyguards at all. How could anyone in the Hunan-Kang territory dare to rob the bodyguards of the Eighteenth Hall of Jiuzhaigou? Even if they were from the imperial court or the Shangqing Sect, no one was following him all the way. There was Zhuo Yansong to contain Hepei, and there was no movement from the Zhushan Camp or the Shangqing to mobilize troops, so it should not be possible.

"How far is it from here to Hepei?"

The escort leader replied:"After passing Quning Town, there is not much road left. We can set off at dawn and arrive at around noon."

Zhan Jiuqing thought, the escort Zhuo Yansong was pressing hard, but according to his calculation, they still had plenty of time, and he could take his time. So he agreed. The convoy moved forward for a while, and then returned There was no town in sight, the night wind was blowing, and the night dew carried the fishy smell of the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

The tiny chirping of birds, animals and insects in the mountains and forests beside the road seemed to have stopped for a moment.

Zhan Jiuqing raised his hand to stop the convoy. The bodyguards also noticed something strange, and drew their swords to be on guard.

Just for a moment, the wind picked up again, and the flowing clouds covered the stars in the sky.

"It came later than expected."

A lazy female voice said.

Zhan Jiuqing and the escorts were startled. The female voice was so close, but they looked around and saw that there was no one on the official road. Where was the woman?

The panic spread quickly in the darkness, and Zhan Jiuqing shouted:" who?!"

The darkness was silent for a moment, and for a moment, the female voice replied quietly:"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you pass by here, leave money to buy it."

The female voice is still very close, but she is still nowhere to be seen.

Zhan Jiuqing was furious:"Who is pretending to be a ghost?

The female voice chuckled and said regretfully:"I have always wanted to say this line once, but unfortunately swords are not my favorite. It seems that there is no effect without swords.""

Before the female voice fell, a strong wind suddenly rose!

A group of bats suddenly came from nowhere in the strong wind. Zhan Jiuqing tightened the horse's rope and tried to wave away the flying bats with one hand. The escorts also covered their faces with one hand and waved their hands with the other. The weapon tried to repel the inexplicably attacking bat swarm.

Suddenly, Zhan Jiuqing noticed something was wrong. He had lived in the mountains for a long time and had a keen sense of smell and hearing, but the bat swarm made no sound at all. Not only was there no sound, but there was also the unique stench of the birds and beasts. Nothing. No! This is not a bat!

It was only a moment, and it was already too late.

Zhan Jiuqing only felt the horse behind him sink slightly, and subconsciously looked back. Then his eyes went dark, and something pressed against his forehead. He suddenly Unable to move. Through the uncovered half, I could see a beautiful woman looking at him charmingly, her lips like petals opening and closing, and she said:"Thank you for your hard work, that's it.""
