Nangong Jiu, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
The little hand quietly tugged at Taoist Qingchen's sleeve and said to the others with his spiritual sense, "Catch him alive. I want to see what kind of monster he is."
After saying that, he waved his hand imperceptibly and the barrier was lifted.
The black shadow searched the whole room but found nothing, then he groped his way to the bed and quietly reached his hand onto it.
I touched under the pillow and at the head and foot of the bed.
No!
He reached out and touched Nangong Jiu's body again.
Sudden.
His hands seemed to be clamped by an invisible force, and his whole body was unable to move.
Seeing this, the other two black shadows wanted to run away, but were stopped by Taoist Qingchen and others and had their acupoints pressed.
Wuwang lit the candle and removed the veils covering the faces of several people.
"Tell me, who are you?"
However, several people's eyes were fixed on Nangong Jiu.
It's her, that's right!
Where's the sword? Why isn't there a sword?
Taoist Master Qingchen exerted 10% of his pressure: "Tell me or not? If not, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A few people held on, hoping for a lucky break.
Taoist Qingchen snorted coldly and added another 10%.
One of them couldn't hold on any longer, and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
"Have mercy, I'll tell you what I'm saying.
We are the three Ghost Hand Brothers who are well-known in the world.
I happened to stay in the small town these days.
When you were on the street, we happened to see the profile of this little girl, and we thought she looked very similar to the girl in the portrait, so we followed her from a distance..."
"So, you came here to steal the sword because you believed the rumors?"
"yes!"
Taoist Qingchen looked at Nangong Jiu.
Nangong Jiu slid off the bed and walked in front of them: "Do you know that you are being used as knives by others?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What it means is that you have been used by the people of Tianmen Sect.
Two months ago, we met Xiao Zheng, the leader of Tianmen Sect, in the Magic Forest. They took a fancy to my weapon and wanted to use their numbers to bully the weak and rob it, but they failed.
After coming out, he deliberately released the news and the portrait of the deity to lure you people from the Jianghu to fight for it, so that they could reap the benefits."
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment: "How could this really happen?"
"Heaven and earth are my witnesses. If I tell even one falsehood, I will be struck by lightning!"
For the people of the Three Realms, if they swear an oath by heaven and earth and it is false, no one can bear the consequences.
Several people believed Nangong Jiu's words about 80%.
But he still had doubts: "Who are you? What kind of weapon do you have that even the leader of the Tianmen Sect covets?"
Nangong Jiuliang drew out the Dragon Roar Sword and slowly rose into the air to a height of one person.
Little Wang and Xiaoxing also turned around and returned to their original form, standing to the left and right of Nangong Jiu.
Xiaoxing explained in a roundabout way.
"We are the gods who protect the Dongling Kingdom! Your Majesty's Dragon Roar Sword has been with you for many years, and this time we have come to the mortal world with you to endure the calamity.
Divine weapons have spirituality, and cannot be touched casually by others. Otherwise, they will be killed or injured. If you don't believe it, you can come and try it."
Nangong Jiu let go, and the Dragon Roar Sword hovered in front of the few people, untying their restraints.
The fact that Dongling Kingdom is blessed by gods has long been circulated on this continent, and now I can see the truth with my own eyes.
Several people had already been convinced, so how could they dare to try? They just hurriedly saluted.
"Believers, pay your respects to the gods! We shouldn't have listened to the rumors and entertained inappropriate thoughts. Please punish us, gods."
Nangong Jiu raised his hand: "You have been deceived. I will pardon you this time, but you must spread the truth widely. From now on, if anyone dares to act recklessly again, I will show no mercy!"
Several people kowtowed in agreement, crawled out of the house, and disappeared into the inn in a few seconds.
Taoist Qingchen asked worriedly, "Jiujun, can this solve the sword crisis?"
Nangong Jiu waved his hand: "Let's leave it this way for now. If they still don't listen after I've told them, then it's not my fault.
We’ll talk about the follow-up matters after we return to Xizhou and the capital.
Now, go back to sleep.”
Taoist Qingchen thought about it and nodded happily: "That's right, first the organization, then the military, sleep!"
Nangong Jiu fell down and continued to sleep soundly.
What they didn't know was that the previous scene was also happening simultaneously in the Prince's Mansion in Xizhou and the General Nangong Mansion in the capital.
Some well-informed people in the martial arts world connected the portrait with Nangong Jiu, learned about Nangong Jiu's situation, and came to his door with a lucky mentality.
Prince's Mansion in Xizhou.
Not long after Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue rested, a group of dark men broke into the prince's mansion at night.
As soon as he jumped over the wall and entered the prince's mansion, he was surrounded by secret guards: "Who are you? Why did you break into the prince's mansion at night?"
The leader of the men in black did not hide anything.
"Let's be frank. Everyone in the martial arts world is saying that Princess Nangong Jiu of Dingguo has obtained a peerless sword. We would like to borrow it to play with it."
The leader of the secret guards, Aliang, held his sword in his hand and confronted them: "Should I say you are stupid, or should I say you are ignorant and fearless?"
The leader stared at Aliang in confusion: "What do you mean? Do you look down on us? Although you are masters from the palace, we are not pushovers."
"I'm telling the truth. You easily believed rumors, didn't distinguish right from wrong, didn't know the truth, and stormed into the prince's mansion like that, abandoning the imperial power. Have you ever thought about the consequences?
Don’t you know what kind of person Princess Dingguo is?
Even if she has some rare treasure, it is a gift from the gods. How can we ordinary people covet it?
Aren't you afraid that you might not only fail to have fun but also lose your beloved's life?
I advise you to leave immediately, or else don't blame us for being rude."
Some people began to waver.
Some people refused to believe it and attacked directly: "Stop talking nonsense and show us the real thing."
"It's really hard to persuade that damn ghost with kind words!"
Seeing this, the secret guards did not hold back and rushed forward to block the attack.
Liu Hao, startled by the sound of fighting, rushed out to check the situation: "A Bing, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, some people from the Jianghu raided the Prince's residence at night and said they wanted to borrow the Princess's sword to play with."
"How can this be!" Liu Hao gritted his teeth in anger.
"A Bing, the four of you will protect the princess well. The rest of you will follow me to the front to take a look."
A secret guard appeared and said, "Your Highness, our brothers are skilled enough to handle the Jianghu invaders. You can rest assured and have a good rest."
"It's okay to go and have a look!"
When Liu Hao and several secret guards arrived at the front yard, the two groups were fighting.
After standing aside and watching for a long time, he shouted angrily: "Stop it, everyone!"
The two sides stopped fighting.
"Aliang, who is causing trouble?"
Ah Liang stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, judging by their martial arts skills, they seem to be from Xiaoyao Villa and Majiabao."
Liu Hao shook his head and denied it: "Impossible, you must have seen it wrong!
The people of Xiaoyao Villa and Majiabao are all upright and chivalrous men. They would never do something like climbing a wall in the middle of the night."
After saying this, he deliberately asked, "Excuse me, who are you? What brings you here?"
