Volume 1, Chapter 41: Killing the hawk with a sword.
Dongfang Xiu was filled with resentment when he saw that the two were still so calm even at this point.
The letter arrived at noon, and the main branch of the Dongfang family had sent people to Yecheng to pick up Dongfang Qingzhu and take him back to Beimang City.
Because a few days ago the current third prince arrived in Beimang to discuss the marriage with the Dongfang family.
I had heard about this matter a long time ago, but it had never been finalized.
Dongfang Qingzhu has been loved by the ancestor since she was a child. This matter requires her to make her own choice. If she is willing, then this matter can be accomplished. If she is not willing, it will be as she wishes.
That's why he was so anxious. He wanted to take her back to meet the other party and settle the matter as soon as possible.
Now Dongfang Qingzhu has been caught in the vortex and his whereabouts are unknown. If I cannot hand him over, then the matter will be exposed and I will be to blame and will definitely be punished according to the family rules.
According to the plan, if the blood sacrifice had not been disrupted, and if Dongfang Qingzhu was used as a threat, great things should have been accomplished.
If he takes action and rescues Dongfang Qingzhu at that time, everything will go smoothly. As a participant, he will be able to take over the position of the head of the Dongfang family in the future.
Now that something unexpected has happened, he doesn't know what to do.
On the contrary, these two are still so calm.
It made him extremely angry, as if he had been tricked.
"City Lord Yun, Lord Li, why are you so calm? Aren't you anxious?"
The scholar looked at him and said, "Mr. Jiu, what's the point of being anxious? Now that things have happened, just solve them."
"Then tell me how to solve it now."
The scholar relaxed his brows and said, "Don't worry, we have sent people to surround the entire Black Water Pond, and all the six sect disciples have been killed. As for the three people who destroyed the formation, I think they can't escape even if they have wings. When the time comes, we can push these muddy water onto a few people and find a few scapegoats, and everything will be natural."
"Heh..." Dongfang Xiu gave a bitter laugh and continued, "That's easy to say, but what about my niece?"
The scholar walked down the stage leisurely.
"Miss Dongfang has been captured by me, and the people accompanying her are also under my control. I will arrange for you to personally rescue them. This is all the work of the Blood God Cult. What does it have to do with Yecheng and you, the Ninth Young Master?"
Dongfang Xiu stared with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect that several people had already controlled Dongfang Qingzhu. He was the only one who didn't know the situation and was still worrying about it.
"really?"
"Of course, but you have to suffer a little and get hurt. That way it will be more convincing. What do you think?"
Dongfang Xiu gritted his teeth.
"Okay, that's best."
Shangguan Yun laughed out loud.
"Don't panic, Ninth Young Master. The Lord will naturally take care of everything. We just need to clean up our messes."
Having said that, Dongfang Qingzhu still cannot go back to Beimang, otherwise all this will be meaningless.
So the Dongfang Xiu in front of me, haha!
As he thought about it, a hint of murderous intent inadvertently appeared in the corner of his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
Dongfang Xiu didn't notice.
While several people were talking, the girl in front of them who had her eyes closed slowly opened them.
She said weakly, "I saw those three young men coming towards Ye City. They took away the demon pill of the willow demon."
The voice was weak and somewhat sickly.
When it reached the ears of several people, their expressions suddenly changed.
The scholar's face was filled with horror.
"Xin'er, what are you talking about? How could they get out?"
Shangguan Yun also looked at the girl Xin'er, his eyes full of solemnity.
The Black Water Pond was guarded by Hong Fu and Zhao Zihu. How could three young boys possibly escape? It was absolutely impossible.
Could it be that there is another exit from this black water pool besides Yijian Gorge?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible.
Xin'er looked up at the group and whispered, "I saw Yue Mingfeng, he was fighting General Zhao, and I saw those three boys heading towards Yecheng."
Moonlight and wind.
Shangguan Yun clapped his hands.
With a "pop" sound.
"Li Ru, what's going on? Didn't Yue Mingfeng already deal with it?"
The scholar frowned and clenched his fists tightly.
"It must be Hong Fu. This loser showed mercy."
"Humph, you disappoint me so much." Shangguan Yun waved his sleeves and said angrily: "I don't care what method you use, the demon pill of the willow demon cannot be lost, and these people must die."
The Confucian scholar bowed in fear.
"Don't worry, City Lord. I will personally take action and kill this boy right away."
After that, he stood up and said to Xin'er, "Xin'er, follow me."
Xin'er's girl nodded, slowly stood up, and followed the scholar out.
Shangguan Yun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger. No matter what, this demon pill must not be lost, otherwise everything would be in vain and he would not survive.
Dongfang Xiu looked at the sudden change and said sarcastically, "City Lord Yun, is this the work of your capable subordinates?"
Shangguan Yun glared at him suddenly.
At this moment, Dongfang Xiu felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He lowered his head silently, not daring to look into Shangguan Yun's eyes.
At the same time, on the road to Yecheng, Ye Tingmu and the other two suddenly disappeared into the dense forest beside them and disappeared without a trace.
The hawk swooped down when it saw the three people disappear.
Just when it descends to a certain distance.
Suddenly, a string of prayer beads flew out from the woods in front of him, shining with golden light, and instantly locked the eagle's wings.
The goshawk was locked up and let out an eagle cry. Energy surged around its body, trying to break the rosary that locked it.
At the same time, a figure emerged from the dense forest and leaped into the air.
The long sword at the waist came out.
A flash of white light.
The goshawk had no time to dodge.
The sword light slashed on the huge body of the goshawk, and feathers scattered all over the sky.
"Violent........."
Ye Tingmu did not hesitate and flew in mid-air to strike out another sword.
"Try this sword, Zidian."
Zira...
With his sword-holding hand as the base point, hundreds of purple lightning bolts suddenly burst out from all around.
Ye Tingmu drew his sword, and purple lightning gathered, like a dragon roaring in the sea.
The sword rises and lightning falls.
Ye Tingmu disappeared in the sky, thunder raged all around and explosions sounded.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the giant eagle's screams could be heard from time to time.
Ye Tingmu calmly put away his sword, and at this moment, the goshawk fell heavily to the ground.
One of its wings had been cut off by Ye Tingmu's sword.
This goshawk has been following the three of them since Yijian Gorge, and Ye Tingmu had already noticed something was wrong.
That scene just happened.
This eagle is huge.
The wingspan is probably over 50 meters.
It is a real fourth-order flying monster.
Such a monster appeared here, but did not attack them along the way.
There is definitely someone behind this.
I think he should be the same person who controls the Fire Cloud Dragon in the Black Water Pond.
There is a type of people in this Changhe world who are half human and half demon. They are born with psychic powers and can control demon beasts.
Such people are called demon controllers.
Demon controllers are extremely rare. It is rumored that such people are the result of the union of humans and demonic beasts.
When they grow up, they can communicate with spirits and control monsters with their spiritual consciousness.
There must be a demon controller in the Blood God Cult of Ye City, and this person must be quite powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for him to control a fifth-level demon beast.
Of course he didn't know all this; it was the little monk who told him.
Although it is very mysterious, it is nothing strange in this world.
