Zhuo Yizhou hurriedly got up from the ground and spat out the fallen leaves and soil in his mouth.
He turned to face his martial uncle, his face filled with anger but he didn't dare to say anything.
" Nine Heavens Cloud Searching Palm!?"
The expression of one of the three men who used Eagle Claw Technique changed."Your Excellency is the Dragon of Clouds, Chen Shixian?”
"Good eyesight. I didn't expect that the mighty Three Heroes of the West Mountain would know my name.”
"What happened here?" Chen Shixian laughed.”
"Third brother, stop."
Another person suddenly spoke. The person who was fighting with Yu Zhiwei heard this. Although he was a little unwilling, he still snorted and used his method to temporarily force Yu Zhiwei back. He flew back to his two brothers.
"Don't run!"
Yu Zhiwei was busy fighting and was about to give chase when he heard Ning Wushuang say,""Zhiwei, come back."
Yu Zhiwei glanced at Ning Wushuang and then at the Three Heroes of the West Mountain. He then curled his lips and returned to Ning Wushuang's side.
The Three Heroes of the Western Mountain glanced at Lin Zimo, Chen Shixian, and the people from Book Incense Villa.
The man in the middle took a step forward.”
Chen Shixian was older, and he had been in the martial arts world for many years. The Three Heroes in the Cloud knew the golden signboard of the three words, Cloud Dragon.
After greeting him, he smiled lightly,""It's nothing much. The three of us originally planned to cross the Tianmang Mountain Pass, but we didn't expect to find someone spying on us when we reached this place.”
"I see."
Chen Shixian nodded and glanced at Lin Zimo.
Lin Zimo smiled." It's just a misunderstanding. We're all juniors. You're all seniors in the martial arts world. Naturally, you won't make things difficult for a small Long Wind Bodyguard Agency like us.”
"Hmph, cunning brat."
One of the Three Heroes of the West Mountain who spoke earlier glanced at Lin Zimo.
Then, he heard Lin Zimo say,"In that case, the three seniors have just arrived? So, he knew nothing about the situation in the town?”
"Town?"
"What's wrong with the town?"”
"To be honest, we don't know what happened in this town either. It's just that…"
Xia Qingran sighed softly." Everyone, come with us."”
The Three Heroes of Xishan looked at each other, and another person beside them asked,"May I ask…what is your name?”
" Xia Qingran of the Book Fragrance Villa."
Xia Qingran said her name.
The Three Heroes of the Western Mountain looked at each other, and a hint of fear flashed across their eyes.
The leader of the Three Heroes of the West Mountain cupped his fists again."So it's the Soaring Flower Sword.”
"I wouldn't dare."
Xia Qingran returned the bow.
Since it was just a misunderstanding, everyone did not say anything else. The group left the forest and walked towards the town.
Along the way, the Three Heroes of the West Mountain chatted with Chen Shixian and Xia Qingran. Lin Zimo and the rest only learned their names now.
The eldest was Fan An, the second was Zhou Shi, and the third was Xu Youfang.
Perhaps it was because this name was really not imposing, so when he first entered the martial arts world, he called himself the Three Ghosts of Mount Mang to intimidate others.
After the Three Heroes of the West Mountain became famous, it was true that some people knew their names.
On the way, Lin Zimo quietly told Ning Wushuang about the situation in the town.
"There's actually such a thing?" Ning Wushuang's face was solemn. Who do you think did it?"
"I'm not a god."
Lin Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”
"…That's true."
Ning Wushuang smiled." If you really knew everything, it would be scary."”
Lin Zimo glanced at Yu Zhiwei and realized that she had already forgotten about the fight with Xu Youfang. On the way, she was looking forward to the leftovers in the inn. The more she thought about it, the hungrier she became. For a moment, she wished she could fly over.
Apart from that, there was another person that Lin Zimo was more concerned about.
It was Zhuo Yizhou…
In the forest, he had tricked the other party a little, which could be considered a small punishment.
Chen Shixian could naturally see this, but he obviously didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was happy to see it.
At this moment, Zhuo Yizhou was silently following behind everyone, but he would occasionally glance at Chen Shixian.
The light in his eyes was difficult to distinguish.
Lin Zimo shook his head gently. Although they had only met for a short period of time, Zhuo Yizhou's headstrong and condescending personality was extremely clear.
In addition, young people cared about their reputation.
At this moment, the person he hated the most wasn't him, the person who had tricked him, but his own martial uncle.
At that time, he had almost died under Zhou Shi's Eagle Claw Technique. Chen Shixian had used the Nine Heavens Cloud Searching Palm to save him. Although he had saved him, it had also caused Zhuo Yizhou to lose all his face.
Chen Shixian could have brought him here safely, but he had to throw him on the ground in such an embarrassing position…Zhuo Yizhou would definitely take it as a great humiliation.
However, after pondering for a moment, Lin Zimo did not take it to heart.
In his heart, he was thinking about the Lingyun Sect and the Scholarly Fragrance House.
However, after thinking for a long time, he did not have much of an idea.
The Three Heroes of the West Mountain did not dare to act rashly just by mentioning Yun Zhonglong's name. After mentioning Soaring Flower Sword Xia Qingran's name, fear flashed across their eyes.
However, he didn't even know these people…From this, it could be seen that his eyesight and knowledge were limited.
The group of people walked like the wind. They were all martial artists, so their speed was naturally different from ordinary people.
In just a moment, they had already arrived at the small town.
Arriving in front of the blood pit, the Three Heroes of the Western Mountain sucked in a breath of cold air."How did this happen?"
The others shook their heads, confused.
The Three Heroes of Xishan pondered for a moment before saying,""This small town belongs to the Heavenly Star Stronghold on the Vast Sky Mountain. The Heavenly Star Stronghold is also the largest group of mountain bandits on the Vast Sky Mountain. The Chief was born in a prestigious family and had strong martial arts. All these years, the three of us have been roaming the West Mountain, and we have some friendship with this Great Master. We also know a little about his character.
"He thinks highly of this town, so he won't let such a thing happen to it. I'm afraid…something has changed on the Vast Sky Mountain!"
"The situation in the town is currently unknown, but everything should have started after noon.”
" Brother Cheng Wujiu was drinking in the restaurant at noon," Xia Qingran said." Before he drank, everything was normal. But when he woke up, he looked like this."”
"Everyone."
"Why don't we split up and search for the situation in this town?" Chen Shixian said. See if anyone is still alive?"
Everyone nodded. There was no other way at this moment.
Naturally, Lin Zimo and the rest would not split up and chose a direction to search.
After they separated, Ning Wushuang said,"" I'm afraid there's a problem with the strangeness in this town. Unfortunately, it's really not a good time now..."
Lin Zimo nodded.
When they arrived at the small town, it was already sunset.
The sun was about to set.
The sky had already darkened. Although it was not pitch-black, it was already night.
At this moment, if they were to rush to the Vast Sky Mountain without knowing what had happened in the town, it would be extremely dangerous.
"Let's see the situation in the town first, and then see what they plan to do.”
"However, although these people don't look like they're here to rob us, we still have to be careful of them harboring evil intentions."”
"A person's heart is hard to read. Of course, we have to be careful.”
Ning Wushuang nodded.
Yu Zhiwei thought for a moment and waved his arm, indicating that he had something to say.
"Tell me."
Lin Zimo glanced at her.
"When can we eat?" Yu Zhiwei asked seriously.”
"…Just wait."
Lin Zimo rolled his eyes. He knew that she wouldn't say anything useful.
Even so, Lin Zimo still brought Yu Zhiwei and Ning Wushuang to the restaurant. Yu Zhiwei went into the kitchen and when she came out, she had a piece of pork knuckle in soy sauce in her hand.
As he chewed, he said to Lin Zimo and Ning Wushuang,""You guys come and eat too. I've checked. There's no poison.”
The Taixuan Order Master naturally knew that she loved to eat.
In order to prevent her from losing her life because of food problems in the future, she was strictly taught in this aspect. She was also taught to distinguish all kinds of poisons in the world as much as possible.
In case he accidentally fell for it in the future.
Lin Zimo and Ning Wushuang had no intention of eating. Lin Zimo picked up a set of clothes and shook it slightly. One could see that there was a hole in the back of the undamaged clothes.
The fracture was neat, as if it had been broken by a sharp weapon.
"This…is a little strange."
Ning Wushuang looked at the clothes and pondered for a while before saying,""The traces behind him seem to have been broken by a sharp weapon. However, there was no corpse…and no blood. If he had only cut off the clothes to vent his hatred, he wouldn't have cut so much…But if he was still in the clothes when he was cut off, where did he go after he was cut off? Why is there no trace of blood?"
"Perhaps there is only one possibility.”
"After the blade entered his body, the blade ate him?" asked Lin Zimo.”
"The knife eats people?"
Yu Zhiwei, who was chewing on the braised pork knuckle, was shocked. She carefully wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked at the pork knuckle in her hand that was full of marks.
It was as if he was worried that the pig knuckle would suddenly jump up and give him a bite.
Lin Zimo's words also shocked Ning Wushuang.""Is there such an evil thing in this world?”
"Who knows?"
Lin Zimo shook his head.”
"That makes sense."
"But I still think that your setup is not only bold but also ridiculous…" said Ning Wushuang.
After wandering around for a while, they did not find anything. The three of them returned to the big pit in the center of the town.
The stench of blood in the pit was nauseating. Xia Qingran suggested,""Now that all the rooms in this small town are empty, why don't we find a place to light a lamp and talk about our gains?”
Everyone nodded.
He came to a spacious hall and lit a candle, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere in the town.
Xia Qingran coughed and said," We've searched the entire town, but we didn't find anything special. Some of the clothes were stained with blood, while others were clean. Some of the clothes had torn marks, while others had nothing at all…The scene seemed a little strange.”
"Anyone who is injured by a sharp weapon while wearing clothes will bleed, but there is no blood on the clothes. This is ridiculous.”
Chen Shixian frowned.
Fan An of the Three Heroes of the Western Mountain pondered for a moment, then took out a set of clothes and said,"Everyone, please take a look."
"This is?"
Everyone saw that there was nothing special about that set of clothes. Moreover, there was not even a trace on it.
However, Fan An took out two more things.
One was a soft sword wrapped around his waist, and the other was a hidden weapon that could be easily hidden in his sleeve.
"The change in clothes might not be a big deal, but we recognize these two things. This flexible sword is called the Entangling Star, and this hidden weapon…is not an ordinary sleeve dart. It has a name called the Seven Consecutive Sons! This was the specialty of the Third Leader of the Heavenly Star Stronghold, and it was also a unique hidden weapon.”
" This thing never left his body," Fan An said." From this, it can be seen that he should have…died in this town."”
Everyone was silent. Lin Zimo looked at the blood-red pit outside the door and was deep in thought.
Zhuo Yizhou suddenly jumped out and said,""Thinking about it, thinking about it, my head is getting big, but I can't think of anything. In my opinion, the people who slaughtered this town are either among us or have long left. As for the Heavenly Star Stronghold…After talking for so long, we still don't know what's going on in the stronghold.
"If it really doesn't work, let's go to the Heavenly Star Stronghold to see if the stronghold is still there!？”
Chen Shixian didn't stop Zhuo Yizhou this time. Everything in this world was nothing more than this if all the fancy things were ignored.
Zhuo Yizhou's words made sense.
Xia Qingran nodded." Tonight is not the right time. If we enter the mountain rashly, I'm afraid there will be problems." Why don't we stay in this town for the night and go into the mountains tomorrow morning to check on the details? Or he could leave directly.”
Everyone agreed, but when Xia Qingran suggested that everyone gather because the situation was unclear, she was opposed.
After all, everyone came from all over the world. Some of them had heard of each other's names, while others had never even heard of each other's names. Who knew what would happen if they gathered together?
In the end, they could only separate and find an empty house in the town to stay in for the time being.
Lin Zimo, Ning Wushuang, and the rest gathered in a room, letting Ning Wushuang and Yu Zhiwei sleep first while he sat on the table and guarded.
Ning Wushuang believed in Lin Zimo, but Yu Zhiwei did not feel that there was anything wrong either. He did not know if it was because of trust or because he was not wary.
The first half of the night was very quiet. However, just as the moon was about to rise, a mournful cry resounded throughout the entire town.
Lin Zimo suddenly opened his eyes, and Ning Wushuang hurriedly got up. The two of them looked at each other and dragged Yu Zhiwei, who was still unconscious, out of the room with the box containing the one-legged bronze man.
