Zhuo Yizhou was the one who shouted.
When Lin Zimo and the rest arrived at Zhuo Yizhou and Chen Shixian's residence, they saw that Xia Qingran and the rest had already arrived.
Cheng Wujiu was still being held up. His face was filled with drowsiness, as if he had not woken up yet.
"Head Escort Ning, Head Escort Lin."
Xia Qingran, Lin Zimo, and Ning Wushuang cupped their fists.
Ning Wushuang returned the greeting, and everyone entered the door together.
Zhuo Yizhou was kneeling on the ground. The lights in the room were dim. One could vaguely see a person lying on the ground.
"Brother Zhuo, this is?"
Xia Qingran spoke first.
Zhuo Yizhou turned to look at Xia Qingran with a dazed expression. His face was filled with grief and confusion. His eyes were not focused as he muttered,""My…my martial uncle…he, he was harmed by someone!”
……
……
The one who died was Chen Shixian.
This Yun Zhonglong was completely unrecognizable at this moment.
His body was withered and withered, and his skin was shriveled and wrinkled like tree bark.
He was lying quietly beside a square table, but no one knew how long he had been dead.
Xia Qingran checked it and frowned.""There was a knife wound on the back, but why the corpse would have such characteristics is unknown.”
Ning Wushuang looked at Lin Zimo subconsciously and recalled what he said before.
He felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
After all, she was also a girl, and her mysterious behavior was always shocking.
Suddenly, Cheng Wujiu said,""This corpse…this corpse…"
Everyone looked at the wandering doctor at the same time.
Before he could say anything, another person came in. It was the Three Heroes of the West Mountain.
Fan An's eyes looked around, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink."This…Senior Cloud Dragon Chen?”
Zhuo Yizhou suddenly looked at the Three Heroes of the Western Mountain, and his expression changed drastically."You guys…it must be you guys!!”
"Us?"
The Three Heroes of the West Mountain were confused.”
"It was you who killed my Martial Uncle, right?？”
Zhuo Yizhou suddenly leaped up and pulled out his sword with a clang. The tip of the sword pointed at the Three Heroes of the West Mountain."It's you guys, it must be you guys! During the day, I was harmed by others. When I attacked you, you almost took my life. My Martial Uncle used the Nine Heavens Cloud Searching Palm to save me, so you all held a grudge and killed my Martial Uncle!”
"Where did this wild dog come from?”
Fan An's eyes twitched slightly. He said coldly with a voice that sounded like metal clashing,"If our brothers had the ability to kill Chen Shixian, how could we let you live so easily in broad daylight?”
"Hah! You Three Heroes of the West Mountain are bandits who do everything you can. My Martial Uncle's face is withered now. Perhaps…he was poisoned by you!”
"Otherwise, with your abilities, how could you possibly have hurt him in the slightest?" Zhuo Yizhou said angrily.”
"Preposterous, you're slandering me!”
Xu Youfang shouted angrily,"Die!"”
With a furious roar, he flew in front of Zhuo Yizhou and struck out with his hand.
Although he said he wanted him to die, attacking wasn't considered a killing move.
Xu Youfang was extremely outstanding in close combat. He moved around nimbly in the room.
Zhuo Yizhou's martial arts skills were mediocre, and he barely managed to deal with two moves before Xu Youfang gave him two tight slaps on his face.
He fell to the ground in front of Xia Qingran.
He pointed at Xu Youfang and said angrily,"Are you trying to silence me?" "If that's really the case, please help me send a letter to the Lingyun Sect in the future. Tell my master who killed me and my martial uncle!”
Xu Youfang flew into a rage." Good, good, good. I'll take your life today. Let's see if your master can avenge you!"”
Leaping forward, this time, he was indeed using a killer move.
"No!"
Xia Qingran quickly blocked Xu Youfang's fatal blow.
The junior sisters behind her each had their hands on the hilts of their swords, guarding against Fan An and Zhou Shi.
However, Fan An suddenly shifted his body and grabbed Xu Youfang's shoulder, flying back to Zhou Shi's side.
After pondering for a moment, he said,"Heroine Xia, the three of us brothers are indeed like what this little brother Zhuo said. However, after so many years of being active in the West Mountain, he felt that his subordinates had a sense of propriety. There is also a reputation in the martial world…If we really have the ability to kill the Dragon of Clouds, Chen Shixian, then we will definitely not deny it.
"At the end of the day, perhaps the Chivalry Sect still has some complaints about this, but the three of us are considered bandits in the forest. If word of this gets out, it will only make us three brothers famous.
"Even if they would seek revenge, they would never deny it.
"Tonight, the three of us brothers came a little late. After hearing the call, the first thing we did was to search the town.
"Since the other party made a move, he would definitely leave behind traces. I didn't expect that he wouldn't leave behind any traces.
"After I rushed back, I found out that it was actually Senior Chen who was killed.
" These words are from the bottom of my heart. If you believe me, then so be it. If you don't, then let's just have a fight…"
"However, no matter who wants to push this sh * t onto our brothers, they have to think twice.”
When he said this, he glanced at Zhuo Yizhou.
Zhuo Yizhou subconsciously shrank his neck, his eyes filled with fear.
Xia Qingran pondered for a moment and said,""I naturally believe in the Three Heroes of the West Mountain. Even though Greenwood had a bad reputation, no one had ever heard of someone using despicable means to kill someone.”
Fan An's expression softened when he heard Xia Qingran's words.
However, Lin Zimo said,"What did this Physician Cheng Wujiu want to say just now?”
Before the Three Heroes of the West Mountain entered, Cheng Wujiu did have something to say.
In the end, they were interrupted by the Three Heroes of the Western Mountain. Zhuo Yizhou identified them as the murderers, and it was another round of nonsense.
At this moment, everyone could not help but look at Cheng Wujiu. Cheng Wujiu forced a smile."Everyone here is a hero of the martial world. It's not my place to speak about this matter…
"However, when I looked at this old man's corpse just now, it seemed to be related to the records I once had in an ancient book.”
"What book? What kind of records?"
Xia Qingran asked hurriedly.
Cheng Wujiu shook his head slightly.”
"Please."
Xia Qingran cupped her fists politely and stepped aside.
The Three Heroes of West Mountain also looked at Cheng Wujiu. They had heard that this person was the only survivor in this small town, but he did not seem to be proficient in martial arts, so they did not take it to heart.
Lin Zimo looked at his back, his expression flickering in the fire.
Cheng Wujiu came to the side of Chen Shixian's body and squatted down to examine it carefully. After a moment, he turned the body over and looked at the wound on his back.
"The blade passed without blood, the blood withered and the flesh withered like wood…This is indeed that record.”
Cheng Wujiu looked hesitant. He waved his hand and wanted to stand up, but his wrist hit the table, making a clear sound.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
He quickly covered his wrist and stood up with a face full of shame."I, I'm always so clumsy.”
" No." Xia Qingran shook her head." Doctors can't be so clumsy when they treat patients."”
"No, no. I'm a person who can perform acupuncture to save people.”
He coughed and said," To tell you the truth, I once saw a description of something in an ancient book…This thing once caused a lot of trouble. It came from an evil sect that very few people know about."”
Everyone looked at each other. This was an ancient story.
"Make it short!"
Fan An frowned.
Cheng Wujiu immediately shivered and quickly said,"Yes, yes, yes. That sect cultivates evil martial arts. Then, through a special technique, they can make a kind of demonic saber. The demonic blade absorbed the flesh and blood of the person it killed, nourishing the blade, and thus replenishing the person who used the blade.”
This was too short.
Everyone was stunned. Xia Qingran quickly said,""Tell me in detail. What kind of martial arts does this sect practice? How to make a demonic blade? How do you kill the person who used the saber?"
"Aiyo, my great aunt."
Cheng Wujiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry." I'm a doctor. When I was reading, I wasn't particularly serious. I had no interest in martial arts at all. Therefore, I don't remember what this martial art is called or how to make that saber. However…I know that this saber is very evil. Think about it, after killing someone, it will absorb the flesh and blood to nourish the saber. Naturally, the killing intent will soar to the sky!
"Those who practice this martial art are all top-notch experts with such a saber. They're not ordinary people.
"However, the most powerful thing about this saber isn't this…It's that after absorbing flesh and blood, even if an ordinary person uses this saber, they can still unleash a great deal of lethality.
"If a martial artist who has not practiced their martial arts but knows other martial arts uses this saber, his internal energy will increase greatly. He can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the many with the few.
"In addition, I also know that this sect once spread this saber and caused a huge mess. They were not afraid even if it was obtained by a martial arts expert…because once they encountered someone who cultivated the martial arts of their sect, the expert who used the demonic blade would be countered by the demonic blade and become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered…and such a person was called the saber collector!”
Everyone was speechless. Xia Qingran frowned."But if it was nourished by flesh and blood, why is Senior Chen's corpse still here?”
"This…I don't know either. Right, is his internal energy very high?”
"Senior Cloud Dragon Chen's internal energy is naturally extraordinary.”
"That's right. For martial arts experts, it's very difficult for this saber to absorb all the flesh and blood. It will only absorb internal strength and blood to nourish the demonic saber.”
"This…Old Hero Chen should have died under this demonic blade," said Cheng Wujiu.”
"Why didn't you say this earlier?"
Zhou Shi glared at the wandering doctor.
"This…I, I am a person…In a panic, it is inevitable that I forget. I'm not too sure about the situation in this town. If I hadn't seen the corpse of this old hero Chen at night, I wouldn't have associated it with this record even now…"
" What's more," Cheng Wujiu said with a trembling voice," I only saw this as a story back then. I didn't know that this thing was actually a real person."”
The Three Heroes of the Western Mountain snorted and said no more.
"Don't tell me you guys really believe me?" Zhuo Yizhou said angrily. What he said was simply a fantasy. How could there be such a thing in this world?”
"We must guard against evil methods."
Xia Qingran frowned." There are always some martial arts in the martial world that are beyond your knowledge. There are also some weapons that are beyond the understanding of swords and sabers." If that was really the case, then there was an explanation for what happened in the small town…However, if that was really the case, then where was the person wielding the demonic blade?”
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, Fan An said,"We checked the surroundings of the town, but there were no traces of him…This person either knows the town like the back of his hand, or he's probably hiding in the town, waiting for an opportunity to kill people to nourish the demonic blade.”
"You guys…I think you guys did it!”
Zhuo Yizhou said angrily," Initially, you didn't have any excuses. But this stinking doctor's words have given you a reasonable explanation…I understand now. You're all in cahoots, right?”
Xia Qingran looked at him helplessly.""Young hero Zhuo, please calm down.”
Zhuo Yizhou wanted to retort, but at that moment, he suddenly realized that if he were to go against Xia Qingran, no one would protect him if there was a conflict.
His expression darkened and he decided to shut his mouth.
"No matter what, we can't let this matter go. It's better to believe it than not.”
" I still have the same idea," Xia Qingran said." We'd better stay together tonight. We don't want any more trouble."”
"Alright."
Fan An agreed readily this time.
Xia Qingran believed their words. Now that she had brought it up again, he had no reason to refuse. It was a way of repaying her for her trust.
Ning Wushuang glanced at Lin Zimo and agreed when he saw Lin Zimo nodding his head.
In the end, everyone looked at Zhuo Yizhou. Zhuo Yizhou was silent for a moment, but he did not object.
However, before he left, he brought Chen Shixian's corpse with him.
It was still the same big house where they had discussed the matter earlier. Everyone sat together.
No one was sleeping…except for Yu Zhiwei.
To be precise, she had not woken up until now.
This was admirable. Even Xia Qingran and the girls behind her looked at her strangely.
Xia Qingran went to Ning Wushuang's side several times to check on Yu Zhiwei's condition secretly. She was only relieved when she confirmed that he was really asleep and not drugged.
Chen Shixian's death and the legend of the demonic blade made the atmosphere even more depressing.
Lin Zimo and Ning Wushuang sat together while Yu Zhiwei leaned against the wall behind him.
The one-legged bronze man's box was placed beside her, and she hugged it to sleep…
After less than an hour, Zhuo Yizhou suddenly jumped up.
"Something's wrong!"
Everyone looked at him.
The Three Western Mountain Heroes were the most impatient. Xu Youfang said coldly,""What nonsense do you have?"
Zhuo Yizhou glared at him before pointing at Lin Zimo.""Tell me, is it you or not?"
“？？？”
Lin Zimo blinked his eyes. How did this have anything to do with him?
