Chapter 242
The man didn't react in time. Instead of attacking the woman who was close to him, he attacked himself.
He covered his pierced chest with his hands. The evil woman not far away wailed and turned into a wisp of black smoke that floated back to the man's chest.
The man looked at the culprit angrily and shouted, "How did you find out?"
Leng Qingqiu wiped the blood off his sword and said disdainfully, "Isn't this what you, the Corpse Yin Sect, do?"
Although he had no contact with the people from the Corpse Yin Sect in his previous life, it did not prevent him from understanding the Corpse Yin Sect.
Leng Qingqiu glanced up and down at the man in front of him before continuing, "You are very different from the people in your sect."
People from the Corpse Yin Sect should always carry a coffin containing a corpse ghost with them, instead of hiding their own corpse ghost in their body like the person in front of him.
When the man heard what Leng Qingqiu said, he was immediately shocked.
He covered his chest with his hands and quickly stepped back.
"I don't really want to kill you, don't blame me. I just heard from the Xiao family that if you catch someone with the word 'kill' on their head, you will get a huge reward."
He was extremely regretful at this moment. He should have thought more about it. How could anyone who could offend the Xiao family be a weakling!
He kept walking backwards, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Leng Qingqiu had no intention of letting him go, and she placed the long sword in her hand against his neck.
The man trembled all over, feeling extremely regretful.
While he was still thinking about how to convince this evil star to let him go, he heard the evil star asking him a question.
“Xiao family, what are the original words!”
The man's body was shaking and his eyes were rolling rapidly in his sockets.
"The Xiao family's original words are that whoever kills you and your accomplices first, who have the word 'kill' on their heads, will be rewarded."
Leng Qingqiu had a plan in mind at this time. He felt that he had a better way than looking for Ye Lan himself.
——
Ye Lan had made all the preparations for his retreat, and just as he sat down, he heard Han Dun's jade token calling him from his waist.
Ye Lan raised his hand and injected spiritual power into the jade token, and saw several messages from Han Dun.
"Brother Ye, where have you been?"
"Why are you all leaving?"
"Why did Senior Brother Leng leave? What should I do now that you're all gone?"
Ye Lan didn't understand what Han Dun meant. What did he mean by "they are all gone"? What should he do?
Are they that close?
Helplessly, Ye Lan could only reply perfunctorily.
"What? I'm going out to gain some experience, how can I take you with me?" Let's not talk about whether he is willing to take Han Dun with him. It is obvious that Han Dun and Hao Wen are together every day, so how can he take him with him when he goes out?
Taking him with him is equivalent to taking Hao Wen with him. He would only make such a choice if he is crazy.
Han Dun on the other end seemed to be guarding the jade token, and he responded quickly.
"If you all leave, there will be no one I know in the sect anymore..."
Ye Lan: ...
Ye Lan was too lazy to argue with him and directly advised him mercilessly: "Then why don't you just get to know more people in the sect? Well, I'm busy. If there's nothing important, I'll go take care of it first."
Then, without looking at whether Han Dun on the other end said anything else, Ye Lan only saw the jade token flashing wildly for several times before it stopped.
Ye Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what had happened to Han Dun.
But he really didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to chase him out.
Ye Lan thought that Leng Qingqiu would find him every time he hid, so was there a chance that he would be found this time too?
But this time, this place is not as good as usual.
Thinking of the Xiao family, Ye Lan's heart began to become a little irritated.
If Leng Qingqiu had come along, wouldn't he also be surrounded and attacked?
With Leng Qingqiu's personality, he might do something surprising again.
I have to say that Ye Lan really understands Leng Qingqiu.
But he made a mistake at this time.
At this time, Leng Qingqiu did not kill everyone. Instead, he surrendered and let the man from the Corpse Yin Sect capture him.
The man from the Corpse Yin Sect was still dizzy, and he took Leng Qingqiu to where the Xiao family was.
The Xiao family also kept their promise and immediately gave him countless spirit stones and treasures.
His reputation was thus greatly established!
"Have you heard? The person the Xiao family wanted a bounty on was captured by the Yishi Yin Sect! He's now locked up in the Xiao family's dungeon!"
"I heard it, I heard it. What kind of cultivation level does that person have? He actually managed to capture the person the Xiao family wanted a bounty on!"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! According to gossip, the Xiao family has two bounties on their heads, one powerful and one weak. That guy was just lucky enough to catch the weaker one... If we had met them, he wouldn't have had a chance, and that guy would have gotten away with it!"
Ye Lan, who had given up his retreat, was now sitting in the teahouse, listening to the gossip told by people passing by.
He still couldn't bear it. No matter what, he was still his apprentice.
Even though I'm the weak one...
He originally just wanted to find out a little, but he didn't expect to find out that Leng Qingqiu was captured and imprisoned in the Xiao family dungeon.
This is tricky. He never thought that Leng Qingqiu, the son of luck, could be caught.
I suddenly felt indescribable in my heart, but I could still hear what the group of people were saying.
"That kid is just lucky. Well, forget it. I have great news!"
"The Xiao family has announced that the thief will be executed in front of everyone at noon tomorrow!"
Ye Lan, who was eavesdropping nearby, clenched his palms tightly!
He had no intention of tasting the tea anymore, so he just raised his hand to take a drink, put down the spirit stone and left.
Ye Lan found a beggar and asked about the location of the Xiao family.
Ye Lan hid his body and squatted on a big tree not far from the Xiao family, staring for a long time.
When night fell, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, he calculated the time and jumped down from the tree. He grabbed a man who was dressed relatively well and chopped him on the back of the neck with a knife.
This person was none other than the housekeeper who was serving beside the ancestor of the Xiao family.
He often went in and out of every courtyard, and Ye Lan remembered him even though he didn't remember anyone else.
Ye Lan supported the man who had been knocked unconscious by him, dragged him to the corner, quickly stripped off his clothes, and then found a rope to tie him up tightly.
Before leaving, Ye Lan took out a rag from his Qiankun bag and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
Ye Lan cast a sleight of hand on himself, and in the eyes of others, he was the butler who had been knocked unconscious just now.
He wandered around the entire Xiao family, and then slowly found the location of the dungeon.
He immediately saw the guard hiding in the dark. He imitated the butler and took out the token from his waist.
"The ancestor asked me to try the thief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person hiding in the dark retreated again.
