Volume 1, Chapter 47: The dust has settled, and Dahei takes action.
Xiaohan Peak.
Located in the northern suburbs of Yecheng.
There is a bright moon above the sky.
There are animal roars in the dense forest.
In an open space, dozens of people in black were sitting around a campfire.
Next to them, five figures were lying in a mess.
They were tied up and fainted one by one.
Not far away, there was a big black bull lying down, staring at the group of men in black, with its mouth moving up and down as if it was chewing something.
"Damn, this guy is so fierce. He killed so many brothers."
"Hey, luckily we have Lord Li's sleeping pills, otherwise we might not be able to defeat him."
"That's right." One of them glanced at Feng He lying on the ground.
"This kid is really weird. He clearly has no cultivation, but he can actually shatter a steel knife with his head? If the adults hadn't specifically instructed us not to hurt them, I really wanted to kill him."
"I'm warning you, don't mess around..."
The man in black made a light sound.
"I'm not stupid, why are you so anxious? But this cow is a little strange. It has been following me all the way."
"Whatever he does, he's just a cow that hasn't developed any intelligence yet."
"Too.........."
While several people were discussing.
Two figures walked out of the night one after another.
As soon as the figure appeared, it attracted the attention of the man in black who was on guard. When he saw who was coming, he immediately knelt on one knee.
"Meet the city lord."
The rest of the shadowy figures also gathered around immediately and knelt on one knee.
"We are waiting to see the city lord."
The people who came were Shangguan Yun and Dongfang Xiu.
Dongfang Xiu immediately went towards Dongfang Qingzhu who was lying on the ground.
He leaned over to confirm that Dongfang Qingzhu was fine, and his expression relaxed a little.
"It's all right, it's all right."
If the Dongfang Qingzhu was damaged, the Dongfang family would definitely investigate it thoroughly. Even if they didn't find anything, they would definitely hold him accountable.
After all, I was the one who brought her out, but I failed to protect her.
Shangguan Yun looked at the people in front of him and raised his hand slightly.
"Get up, you have all worked hard, and you have done a good job. When you return, the city lord will reward you handsomely."
The group of men in black were ecstatic when they heard this.
"Thank you, City Lord. Thank you, City Lord. I will go through fire and water for you."
Shangguan Yun stroked his beard with his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The smile is chilling.
"But this matter needs to be kept secret."
"Don't worry, City Lord. We swear we will never mention this to anyone." A group of people also expressed their loyalty.
Shangguan Yun shook his head.
"Loyalty alone is not enough, so..." As he spoke, murderous intent flashed from the corner of his mouth.
When the group of people saw him like this, they were startled and retreated one after another.
A look of horror.
At this time, Dongfang Xiu, who was standing behind them, said suddenly with a gloomy face, "So, I'll trouble you all to die."
As his voice rang out, Dongfang Xiu swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A man in black was unable to dodge and was pierced through the heart.
"you..........."
And then died unwillingly.
When the others saw this, they naturally realized that this was a plan to destroy the bridge after crossing it and kill people to silence them.
They retreated in fear, with Shangguan Yun in front and Dongfang Xiu behind.
"Brothers, fight your way out." the leader yelled.
A group of people holding knives rushed towards Dongfang Xiu.
Although Dongfang Xiu looks weak, he is also a fifth-level strongman. The group of black-clothed men in front of him, the strongest leader is only at the fourth level of strength.
Dongfang Xiu was naturally not afraid. He picked up his sword and rushed towards them.
Their plan was to have these people pretend to be bandits, kidnap Dongfang Qingzhu, and then have Dongfang Xiu rescue her.
When the ancestor investigates, even if he is guilty of improper protection, he also has the merit of saving people. At that time, if he uses some self-torture tactics, the ancestor will not punish him.
Under the moonlight, the sound of swords clashing was endless, and blood gushed out from time to time, spilling on the ground like the bright moonlight.
Soon, more than a dozen men in black fell in a pool of blood.
The leader lay at Shangguan Yun's feet, pulling at his trouser hem, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Why? Why?"
Dongfang Xiu also slashed down with a sword at this time, and his raised head rolled to the side, and he died completely.
Shangguan Yun looked at this scene with a normal expression, without any fluctuation.
He said calmly: "Because only the dead can keep secrets forever."
Dongfang Xiu threw away the bloody sword in his hand and wiped his palms with a white handkerchief.
Laughing crazily and proudly.
"Hahahaha, City Lord Yun is really thoughtful."
Shangguan Yun glanced at him and said, "There is only one last step left."
Dongfang Xiu naturally knew what he was referring to. He picked up the long sword that the man in black had just dropped and handed it to Shangguan Yun.
"City Lord Yun, take it."
Shangguan Yun took the long sword and looked at it carefully.
Dongfang Xiu folded the white handkerchief, put it in his mouth and bit it tightly.
Pointing to his right shoulder blade, he said, "Come on, City Lord Yun, do it. I'm ready."
This is a self-torture tactic, creating the illusion that he was seriously injured in order to save Dongfang Qingzhu, which will make it look more real.
Although Dongfang Xiu was afraid of pain, this was indeed the best solution as a last resort.
Shangguan Yun lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "It might be painful, you have to bear it, Master Jiu."
"It's okay, come on, man, if you want to accomplish great things, this little pain is nothing."
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll do it." Shangguan Yun laughed.
He swung the long sword in his hand.
With a puff.
The light penetrated and pierced through the whole body.
Blood gushed out instantly.
"Uh..." Dongfang Xiu stared with his eyes wide open, veins brimming at the corners of his eyes.
He stared at Shangguan Yun in front of him in disbelief, and then looked at the long knife that pierced his heart.
"You...why..." He said this and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
It dyed his collar red.
Shangguan Yun grinned, his face grim, and said coldly: "Don't you think that if you died, all this would make more sense? I can also put all the blame on the Blood God Cult, and I risked my life to save Dongfang Qingzhu, hahahaha..."
Dongfang Xiu asked unwillingly: "Is this what the master meant...?"
"You don't need to know." As he spoke, he suddenly drew out his long sword.
Blood splattered and spurted out from Dongfang Xiu's chest.
He took two steps back and fell down with a loud bang.
Staring with eyes wide open, completely dead.
Shangguan Yun wiped the blood that splashed on his face and said contemptuously: "A waste like you wants to be the head of the Dongfang family. You don't deserve it."
After saying that, he spat at him and then slowly walked towards the people on the ground.
His eyes were full of viciousness.
"Now it's your turn, little ones."
"I advise you not to touch these four children, otherwise, you will die here..."
A deep voice rang out, filling Shangguan Yun's eardrums.
"Who, who is talking there?" Shangguan Yun looked nervous, his eyes full of fear.
His intuition told him that the owner of this voice was very powerful.
"here....."
