Chapter 142 Ending
Wu An screamed and retreated while covering his broken arm. The remaining disciples, such as Jiang Cheng, all had pale faces and stood there not knowing what to do.
Everyone in the group was very brave when they were discussing, but they all felt guilty when facing Master Bai Yurong.
When Gao Xian drew his sword and cut off Wu An's arm, everyone was even more frightened.
They are all low-level alchemists. Although Xu Mingyuan exploited them very much, they can survive in Lianyung City with their alchemy skills, and they have no combat experience.
Now that the leader has been killed again, they are all panicked and don't know what to do.
Gao Xian did not stop Wu An, and he did not want to kill Jiang Cheng and others.
Although these people are not good people, they are his fellow disciples after all. He just drew his sword and killed them all. What do outsiders think of him, and what do his master's wives think of him?
Such killings have no benefit, but will ruin one's reputation.
Even if he wants to kill, Bai Yurong must do it to be considered reasonable.
Gao Xian turned around and asked Bai Yurong for instructions: "Master Wife, what do you think we should do with them?"
Bai Yurong sighed tiredly, and she said to Jiang Cheng: "You all go away and don't come back."
Jiang Cheng and others were relieved. They colluded to intimidate the master's wife, which can be said to be bullying the master and destroying the ancestor. It is a heinous crime in any sect.
Even if the master's wife killed them all, others would only praise the master's wife for her decisive handling and condemn them to deserve death.
Fortunately, the master's wife was kind-hearted and allowed them to escape.
Jiang Cheng and others did not dare to hesitate or say anything to Bai Yurong, so they all ran away in a hurry.
When Jiang Cheng left, he took away half of Wu An's arm in a very loyal manner.
Bai Yurong shook her head and sighed, Gao Xian consoled her: "They are just a bunch of ungrateful rats. There is no need to care about them, Master Wife."
“It was Lao Xu who kept squeezing them, being powerful but not moral, focusing on profits but not being ruthless, so he raised a group of white-eyed wolves.”
Bai Yurong didn't want to discuss people like Jiang Cheng. She changed the topic and said, "Thanks to Xiaoxian for taking action today, I was able to scare these white-eyed wolves. Otherwise, things would have become very troublesome."
She praised sternly: "I haven't seen you for a few years. Not only has your cultivation improved greatly, but your swordsmanship is also so powerful. You have really grown up and become more successful."
"Thank you, Master. Pegasus is very dangerous, and you often have to fight with others. After fighting many times, you will develop your sword skills."
Gao Xian spoke modestly and explained the sword technique without leaving any trace.
Bai Yurong didn't seem to care much about this. She said with a smile: "By driving away these white-eyed wolves, we saved a lot of severance pay. Let's go to Chunfeng Tower to have a good meal tonight..."
Gao Xian hesitated and nodded, "All disciples follow Master's arrangements."
He actually didn't want to stay any longer, he always felt uncomfortable around Bai Yurong.
Mainly because the original owner has a close relationship with Bai Yurong, and Bai Yurong watched the original owner grow up and is very familiar with the original owner.
For example, Qiniang and Zhou Yuling had too little contact with the original owner and would not notice anything strange about him.
Staying with Bai Yurong, it's easy to show off.
It's just that Wu An and Jiang Cheng betrayed the master's sect and worked together to persecute the master's wife. He was the only disciple left in the entire Xu family.
But he and his wife were very close, so he couldn't just turn around and leave at this time.
Bai Yurong took Chunxiang back to the backyard. At dusk, Bai Yurong, wearing a curtain hat, went to Chunfeng Tower with Gao Xian.
Chunfeng Tower has three floors, with carved beams and painted pillars brightly lit, and is extremely impressive.
There was even more traffic at the door, people were noisy, and it was very lively.
The waiters who greeted guests at the door all wore clean long robes and spoke politely and elegantly.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Gao Xian and Bai Yurong went up to the third floor and chose a single room.
Bai Yurong was not polite to Gao Xian. She ordered a few dishes from the menu and asked for a jar of Ten Miles of Spring Breeze.
There are six dishes in total, and the styles are all exquisite.
Gao Xian had never seen any of them. He took a few bites and found that the taste was either mellow or delicious, each with its own characteristics.
Not only is it delicious to eat, but it also turns into rich aura after entering the mouth.
Gao Xian couldn't help but exclaimed, it was indeed Lianyuncheng.
From the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, to the dishes and drinks, to the room furnishings, everything here smells of wealth and luxury.
Gao Xian was also deeply moved in his heart. Lianyung City was worthy of being a big city, it was prosperous and developed.
In comparison, Pegasus is a wild and rough place.
When the spring breeze came up, Bai Yurong took the initiative to fill Gao Xian's glass, "Today it's all thanks to Xiao Xian's efforts, my wife, I respect you."
Bai Yurong covered her face with her sleeves and drank a drink first, while Gao Xian could only accompany her.
Shili Chunfeng has a delicate and soft taste, slightly sweet and sour, a bit like plum wine.
It seems to have been chilled, and the taste is slightly cool and smooth.
Gao Xian took a glass of wine and felt the spiritual energy quickly spread into his limbs and bones, and his whole body immediately relaxed.
Bai Yurong told Gao Xian a lot about his past. Gao Xian didn't remember it at first, but after hearing Bai Yurong's words, he slowly remembered it.
The two of them were talking and drinking, and before they knew it, the pot of Ten Miles of Spring Breeze was at its bottom.
Shili Spring Breeze tastes like fruit juice, but has a mellow and long aftertaste.
Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness was so strong that he felt dizzy and slightly tipsy.
Bai Yurong's cheeks were slightly red like white jade, and her bright eyes were a bit hazy, she was obviously drunk.
Fortunately, Bai Yurong is still conscious and at least knows how to pay.
Coming out of Chunfeng Tower, Bai Yurong was a little shaky when she walked. Gao Xian had no choice but to hold Bai Yurong's arm.
Given the close relationship between the two of them, this kind of action is nothing. It would look strange if he didn't help.
Bai Yurong held Gao Xian's hand naturally and chatted with Gao Xian casually.
Gao Xian was not used to this kind of close contact and couldn't take his hand away, so he could only bear to send Bai Yurong home.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng, Wu An and other disciples were driven away, and only Chunxiang was guarding the gatehouse.
Seeing Gao Xian and Bai Yurong coming back hand in hand, Chunxiang's face showed a hint of surprise, and then she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look again.
Gao Xian was also a little embarrassed. He said calmly: "Master's wife is drunk. Please help her go back to rest."
Chunxiang hurriedly came over to help Bai Yurong, and Bai Yurong chuckled softly, "Why are you drunk? Xiaoxian, don't talk nonsense."
She patted Gao Xian's arm lightly, seeming to blame Gao Xian for talking nonsense. She also said, "You should also have a good rest and don't go out at night. It's not safe outside..."
Gao Xian watched Chun Xia helping Bai Yurong into the backyard, and then he breathed out.
Drinking with Bai Yurong made him more nervous than starting a fight.
Fortunately, we finally got through it and nothing went wrong. It's just that the mistress took the initiative to hold his hand, which was a bit strange!
From his point of view, Bai Yurong is not such a frivolous person.
Although Gao Xian was a little puzzled, he didn't pay much attention. Anyway, he didn't want to lean on Bai Yurong, he just wanted to keep his distance.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, taking advantage of the strong spiritual energy in his body to start practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
The Great Five Elements Kung Fu circulated for one hundred and eight days, and all the drunkenness in his body disappeared.
The wine I drank tonight absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. When operating the Great Five Elements Gong, he obviously felt much smoother.
This meal of wine cost nearly ten spirit stones, which can be described as extravagant.
Consumption of spiritual stones in this way is mainly to satisfy the appetite. Although it has some benefits for cultivation, the price/performance ratio is too low. Even if he had money, he wouldn't waste it like this.
Gao Xian entered the Xinxiang Temple, and after practicing with Sister Lan, he practiced various spells and sword skills several times.
When he opened his eyes again, he was completely awake. Looking at the position of the half-moon outside, he knew it was probably Chou hour, which was around one o'clock in the morning.
By this time, everything inside and outside the Xu family was already quiet.
Gao Xian put on the Xuanshui robe and checked his talismans, magic weapons, swords, elixirs, etc., and found that they were all fine. Then he summoned the Wuying robe and left the Xu family.
He used the scent-smelling technique and followed the smell of Wu An's body all the way forward.
Last night, he discovered that both Wu An and Jiang Cheng were carrying sachets.
Evidently both of them made their own sachets, which are mainly used to repel mosquitoes and mask the odor.
Not just the two of them, almost all of the disciples wear sachets.
Obviously, the life in Lianyuncheng is more refined, and the cultivators also pay more attention to the mood, and they have the habit of wearing sachets.
Gao Xian used the scent technique to identify the scent of the two people's sachets.
In less than a day, the traces left by the fragrance clearly marked the whereabouts of Wu An and Jiang Cheng.
Although Lianyun City is lively, at this time, most people have already rested.
Only one place in the west district still had a faint light shining through.
Gao Xian's powerful and keen consciousness was able to capture the sound of music and music coming from that place.
Obviously it is Lianyuncheng's nightclub, the red light district, where people can sing and dance all night long.
Everywhere else was dark and quiet, and not a single soul could be seen on the road.
This is true even for the main street that runs through Lianyung City.
Gao Xian walked on a main street for a long time before he met a group of patrolling cultivators.
These cultivators wear black robes and swords, and come in groups of ten. The leader was a late stage Qi practitioner.
A group of cultivators, with no one speaking, silently patrolled the streets.
Looking at the state of this group of cultivators, they are much more responsible than the patrol team at Pegasus.
Gao Xian looked at them curiously for a while, and finally determined that this group of people were all Qi practitioners, and the leader was only in the late stage of Qi training.
According to Qiniang, there are three or four great foundation-building monks stationed in Lianyun City.
Other foundation-building monks all live in Jinxia Mountain.
The foundation-building monks in Lianyun City cannot go out to patrol in the middle of the night.
Gao Xian felt relieved after confirming that there was no threat to the patrol group.
Gao Xian followed the smell of the sachet to a certain courtyard in the West District. Judging from the strong smell accumulated in the courtyard, Wu An was here. Gao Xian glanced with his flower-appreciating mirror and easily located Wu An's position.
In a side room in the outer courtyard, Wu An was lying on the bed. His broken arm had been reattached, and the broken part was wrapped in white cloth, with a red blood stain on it.
There are two talismans attached to the outside of the white cloth, and the red runes on them are faintly flashing with spiritual light.
Gao Xian has too little knowledge and doesn't know what the talisman is. Looking at Wu An's distorted expression, it must be uncomfortable.
Jiang Chengcheng was sitting in front of the bed. He squinted his eyes and looked tired, almost falling asleep.
The two of them remained silent. Gao Xian felt a little bored. He turned his eyes to the depths of the yard and saw that the main room inside was brightly lit and several people were talking.
The man sitting in the main seat has thick eyebrows and ringed eyes, a strong and strong figure, and the yellow robe on his body is faintly flashing with golden light.
He sat there with a straight face, looking quite powerful.
Several other cultivators all had respectful expressions on their faces, and their words and deeds showed a sense of caution.
Gao Xian didn't know the leader, but he could guess his identity. He must be Xu Qiye, that is, Xu Shengye.
He went to see Qiniang in the morning and asked about Mr. Xu Qi.
Qiniang didn't know who Master Xu Qi was, but there were only two great foundation-building monks named Xu in Lianyun City.
One is his teacher Xu Mingyuan, and the other is Xu Lingyun. It is said that the two are still related.
This Master Xu Qi must be someone close to Xu Lingyun.
Zhu Qiniang sent someone to ask, and soon found out that Mr. Xu Qi's name was Xu Shengye, who was at the ninth level of qi training, and that he was Xu Lingyun's grandnephew.
Xu Shengye is relatively capable, and in recent years he has gradually become an important figure in the Xu family. Because he was the seventh eldest son in his generation, everyone outside respected him as Master Xu Qi.
Gao Xian looked at the handsome appearance of the person in the room and concluded that this person must be Mr. Xu Qi.
Arriving at the main hall, Gao Xian discovered that a magic circle was actually arranged in this room.
The magic circle looks a bit crude, but the faint mana aura it releases is enough to provide shielding and protection.
He used the Shadowless Magic Cloth to pass through the wall and enter the main hall. He easily penetrated the invisible light curtain of the magic circle, but it did not cause any fluctuations in the magic circle.
The few late-stage Qi practitioners in the room were unaware of this.
Xu Shengye, who was on the throne, said: "It's getting late, it's time to leave."
As he spoke, he stood up and called everyone to go out.
Several other practitioners stood up, and an old man with gray hair said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Master Qi, why don't we ask our ancestors first?"
Xu Shengye looked impatient, "Why bother our ancestors with such a trivial matter?!"
He was staring at the boss with a fierce look on his face.
The gray-haired old man did not dare to look at Xu Shengye. He lowered his head and said, "After all, Xu Mingyuan is involved, and his relationship with the ancestor is not normal. The ancestor also told me not to interfere in the affairs of Sanyuantang."
“You old guy, the older you get, the less courageous you become.”
Xu Shengye pointed at the old man and scolded him rudely: "Xu Mingyuan died a long time ago, and there is only a woman left to head the house. What's so scary? What the ancestor said is just for us to be careful."
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Xu Shengye also said: "Today, Wu An is intimidating Bai Yurong together, what means to use the woman to use it early, and where would a disciple take it for a shot."
Everyone else nodded when they heard this. They encouraged Wu An to grab the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra" just to test the reality of the Xu family.
Judging from the results, Bai Yurong has little ability.
Xu Shengye added: "Now that other companies are still waiting and watching, it is a good opportunity for us to take action."
“The so-called opportunity cannot be lost and never comes back again! You have to take some risks for the sake of the "San Yuan Dan Jing"."
The gray-haired old man couldn't help but retort: "What if Bai Yurong doesn't have the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra"?"
Xu Shengye's eyes turned cold: "Without the "Three Yuan Dan Sutra", Xu Mingyuan has been operating in Lianyun City for decades, and there are always magic weapons and spiritual stones."
A short and fat man said impatiently: "Bai Yurong is just in the late stage of Qi training. Why does she want to do so much? With a few of us joining forces, it will not be easy to deal with her."
As he spoke, the short and fat man suddenly let out a lewd chuckle, "I met Bai Yurong once. This woman is dignified but smells like a slut. Tonight, the rest of us will also taste the taste of the wife of a great monk who established the Foundation..."
Xu Shengye frowned slightly. Although he liked women, he didn't like to have **** with women when he was doing business.
Looking at the excitement on the faces of several other people, he couldn't say anything.
Xu Shengye said to the short and fat man: "Lao Wu, have the manpower been arranged?"
The short and fat man nodded: "They are all waiting in the wing. They are all good at doing the dirty work in the house. Don't worry."
He thought for a moment and asked: "What do those two boys do?"
“Let Jiang Cheng lead the way. After all, he has stayed in the Xu family for many years and is familiar with the situation.”
Xu Shengye said calmly: "After finishing the matter, we will deal with the two of them."
"Understood."
The short, fat man laughed ferociously and said, "I'll go greet people first."
As he said that, the short and fat man went out first.
Xu Shengye looked at the gray-haired old man and was about to speak, but Gao Xian, who was standing in the corner, didn't want to wait any longer. He flicked his finger, and four cold lights shot out from the ripples of water, and a low and sharp whistle suddenly pierced everyone's ears.
“It's broken, there's a sneak attack!”
With his rich combat experience, Xu Shengye immediately realized that something was wrong, and he activated the golden light technique on the red iron robe without hesitation.
Golden Light Technique is a second-level protective spell that can generally only be mastered by foundation-building monks.
The red iron robe is blessed with golden light magic through superb restrictions, allowing Xu Shengye to use his spiritual consciousness to instantly activate the golden light magic. This is also the most valuable thing about the red iron robe.
Just as the golden light flashed on the red iron robe, a transparent ice pick shot at high speed and penetrated the back of Xu Shengye's head.
Xu Shengye practiced the Hunyuan Golden Body Technique. At this moment, his whole body was tense and exerting force, and his muscles and bones were as strong as steel.
Even so, he still couldn't stop the ice pick.
The ice pick penetrated the back of Xu Shengye's head and penetrated deep into his skull.
The powerful impact and cold force of the ice cone instantly destroyed Xu Shengye's brain tissue, but his spiritual consciousness in the late stage of Qi training still allowed him to retain the last of his consciousness.
Xu Shengye saw the bodies of the three family cultivators in front of him tremble, and their heads were completely penetrated by a translucent ice pick.
“It's ice archery!”
At the last moment of his life, Xu Shengye suddenly understood that it was the ice arrow technique that killed them.
It's just that he didn't understand where the enemies were and how they could penetrate the protective circle in the room and attack them. How could a low-level spell like Ice Arrow be so terrifyingly powerful?
Xu Shengye didn't have time to think much before his consciousness was completely swallowed up by darkness.
The other three cultivators were the same, almost all of them died instantly.
The four late Qi practitioners who died did not see Gao Xian take action until their death.
Standing in the corner, Gao Xian's body was rippling with water, and his body was looming behind the water. This was because the ice arrow technique he activated conflicted with the shadowless robe.
He stood in the corner behind everyone. Even if there was no shadowless robe to cover him, everyone had to change their position to see him.
Gao Xian came here mainly to inquire about the news and did not intend to kill anyone. It's just that people like Xu Shengye are vicious, so he won't be polite.
The master-level ice arrow technique blessed by the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire allows him to trigger ice arrows that have reached the power of a heavy sniper rifle. Its power is more than ten times better than ordinary ice arrows.
Ice arrows were fired instantly without warning at close range, leaving the four of them with no time to mobilize their protective spells in the late stage of Qi training, directly ending the lives of the four of them.
Time was a little tight and there was no time to look further. Gao Xian used the storage charm to collect all four corpses.
Gao Xian once again activated the Shadowless Magic Cloak and easily penetrated the protective magic circle and came to the courtyard.
The short, fat man had just called out his seven men. He didn't know that Xu Shengye and others in the room had been killed.
The main reason is that there is a protective circle, which blocks the sound, light and shadow changes in the room, and the outside world has no idea what is going on inside.
“Everyone wake up and take care of everyone...”
The short, fat man was giving orders to his men when a sharp whistle suddenly penetrated his ears.
Only when he realized something was wrong, an ice pick had already been driven through his head.
The seven middle-stage qi-training cultivators opposite the pudgy man saw rays of cold light shining towards them, but they also had no time to react, and all of them had their heads pierced by ice picks.
Eight cultivators staggered and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
The deep sound of the ice cone roaring through the air was very penetrating, startling both Jiang Cheng and Wu An in the room.
Jiang Cheng, who was originally groggy and about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up with a start.
Wu An felt a little uneasy and said to Jiang Cheng: "Go and have a look..."
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, the door was pushed open and a man stepped in.
The oil lamp was very dim, and Jiang Cheng and Wu An saw a black figure. His face and body seemed to be covered with a layer of water, and their appearance could not be clearly seen.
Wu An was still sizing him up, but Jiang Cheng exclaimed: "Gao Xian!"
Gao Xian was a little surprised. His whole body was shrouded in the watery light of the shadowless robe, but Jiang Cheng could recognize him at a glance?
He originally wanted to look like Xu Mingyuan and scare the two rebels. On second thought, these two losers were not worth his trouble.
He smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Jiang has good eyesight."
As he spoke, he removed the water that shrouded his face and revealed his true face.
Jiang Cheng saw that the other party was indeed Gao Xian, and his face was full of horror. He just saw that the other person's tall and upright figure looked familiar, so he called out casually, but he didn't expect that the other person was actually Gao Xian.
At Xu Qiye's house, Gao Xian came in so swaggeringly, which made Jiang Chengsheng very uneasy.
Wu An was also horrified: "How did you get in?!"
"that's not important."
Gao Xian shook his head slightly, Wu An is really an idiot for still not understanding the situation.
It is precisely because he is stupid that he is used as a gun.
Gao Xian originally wanted to chat with these two people, but seeing their frightened and weak looks, he felt it was not necessary.
Two rays of cold light suddenly fell down with a sharp roar, ending all Jiang Cheng and Wu An's panic.
