Other than the bloodstains, there was nothing else in front of the door.
However, after passing through the door, with the shadow wall as a partition, it was as if it was another world.
There were corpses piled in the middle of the courtyard, blood stains left by dragging corpses on the ground, and traces of sword slashes on the walls and ground.
Lin Zimo frowned. Had his entire clan been annihilated?
Xia Qingran did not say a word. She drew her sword and was ready to deal with any unexpected situation."Follow me to investigate. Don't be alone. The thief might not have left yet.”
"Yes, sir!"
The women of the Fragrance Villa immediately agreed and began to search the villa.
Lin Zimo and Ning Wushuang did not follow them. Instead, they followed the path straight to the main hall.
Along the way, Ning Wushuang's expression became more and more solemn.
In this villa, not only were there servants and guards everywhere, but there were even children's corpses.
This was killing everyone!
There were many massacres in Jianghu, but Ning Wushuang had only heard of it. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
The tragic scene was far beyond imagination.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw that the hall was filled with corpses.
Corpses were all over the place. It seemed that someone had dragged them here later.
A middle-aged man with a curly beard was sitting at the head of the pile of corpses. He was glaring angrily as if he was still fighting his opponent to the death before he died.
There was a clear cut on the neck, and the head had been placed there later.
He was beheaded and his body was placed on a chair before his head was placed back on his neck.
He seemed to be sitting on his main seat, but in reality, it was extremely ironic.
The most eye-catching thing was his forehead. It seemed that someone had stabbed him with a sword. The words were blurry and difficult to read. The outline could be seen, but it was impossible to see what was written because it was covered in blood.
"Who is this person? How can he be so ruthless?”
Ning Wushuang was filled with righteous indignation.
"That's hard to say…" Lin Zimo shook his head gently.
After pondering for a moment, he walked into the hall.
Based on his experience, he could determine that these corpses had been dead for no more than two days.
There were sword wounds, knife wounds, and even injuries caused by strange weapons.
It was extremely messy. It was obvious that there were many people, and the weapons they used were also different.
He shook his head gently. It was really difficult to tell who was behind this.
At that moment, Xia Qingran and the others had also arrived in the hall. They looked up and saw the corpse sitting at the head of the table.
"Villa Head Gu…"
He flew in and arrived in front of the corpse."We're still a step too late."
Lin Zimo shook his head gently. From the looks of it, the situation was not much different regardless of whether he came earlier or later.
Xia Qingran looked around the hall and frowned even more.
"Morning Sun Sect…Mountain Breaker Hua Zhengying.
"Dajue Monastery's Zen Master Hui Fa!
"Thunder Sword Fang Yuan, the leader of the Jade Dragon Gang's Wind Listening Hall!
" The Three Absolute Virtuous Laughing Jade Hall?!"
She looked at the corpses one by one, and the more she looked, the more shocked she became. Everyone who said their names could be known in the martial arts world, and some of them were even more famous than her.
For example, Zen Master Hui Fa of Dajue Monastery had cultivated Silent Meditation for many years, and his Buddhist internal energy was extremely pure.
The Three Unique Virtuous Laughing Jade Hall had three unique skills, calligraphy, painting, and chess. However, each of them corresponded to three different sets of martial arts. Each martial art was exquisite and peerless. It had really created a great reputation in the martial arts world!
However, these people had all died here at this moment!
Xia Qingran couldn't believe her eyes. Who could have done this?
There were so many experts gathered in one place, but all of them had died an unnatural death. Once this matter was spread out, the entire martial arts world would probably instantly set off a shocking wave!!
When she turned back to look at the forehead of that Village Head Gu, she pondered for a moment before walking up to him and reaching out her hand to touch it.
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this corpse.”
Xia Qingran looked at Lin Zimo.
"The head was already cut off, but he put it back in its original place. The words on his forehead were deliberately carved. Everything seemed to be silently telling everyone…Come and touch me.”
"I don't have much experience in the pugilistic world, but I do know one thing. The more the opponent wanted me to do something, the more I couldn't do it.”
"That makes sense."
" Yes," Xia Qingran nodded." But…I'm afraid the handwriting on his forehead will lead us to something."”
"If this was your doing, would you have deliberately left your name on the corpse?”
Lin Zimo said," If that's the case, there's actually no need to look for clues here. This matter will definitely be announced to the martial world by them. We just have to wait for the news." Otherwise…this clue would not be of any use. Instead, it might be a trap left behind by someone else.”
His words were not difficult to understand, and the logic was even more irrefutable.
Xia Qingran was silent for a moment. She finally gave up on checking the words and took a step back.
" We can't let this matter rest like this. I'm afraid I can't help you with the news about Fallen Leaves Manor for the time being…"
" I have to return to the town immediately," Xia Qingran said." I have to send the news back to the Fragrance Cottage."”
Ning Wushuang quickly nodded." Of course. You don't have to make things difficult for me."”
"Thank you very much."
Xia Qingran looked at Ning Wushuang and smiled. However, she could not smile in front of so many corpses.
However, Lin Zimo suddenly sighed.""I was a step too late…It's hard to leave now.”
"What?"
Startled, Xia Qingran heard the sound of clothes flapping in the wind. She raised her head and saw that outside the door, there were men dressed in black with black masks covering their faces.
Even Lin Zimo did not notice when and how these men in black had hidden themselves.
It was only when they moved that Lin Zimo heard a sound in the void.
When they appeared, they raised their hands at the same time without a word.
In an instant, hundreds of cold lights shot towards everyone like a storm of pear blossoms.
"Form the formation!"
Xia Qingran shouted softly. In a flash, she and her junior sisters had surrounded Lin Zimo and the other two. The sword in her hand danced, preventing water from splashing on them.
Ding, ding, the sound of metal clanging could be heard without end.
Xia Qingran turned her sword and sent dozens of silver needles flying. Before the two men in black could react, they fell to the ground with a grunt.
However, at this moment, a silver needle suddenly landed on the head of the Gu family's villa owner.
The silver needle wrapped around the head with a lot of force, and the head immediately fell off.
In an instant, green smoke suddenly filled the entire hall. At the same time, a flame suddenly soared into the sky, piercing through the roof and heading straight for the sky.
It exploded in the sky, forming an extremely beautiful red light.
It was as if half the sky was covered in blood!
"There is indeed something wrong with that head."
Xia Qingran's heart skipped a beat.”
It was easy to hold one's breath, but it was very difficult to do so for a long time. Everyone's internal strength was different, and the length of time they could hold their breath was also different.
Lin Zimo pondered for a moment and reached out to touch Ning Wushuang's acupuncture point. After transferring a mouthful of internal strength, he handed it to Yu Zhiwei."Take good care of her."
After saying that, he flew out.
A black-robed man nearby tried to stop him, but he saw a flash of saber light and his entire body suddenly split into two.
Lin Zimo did not say much and charged into the crowd. With a slash of his saber, he killed more than ten people in the blink of an eye.
"Charge out!"
While Lin Zimo could kill his way in and out of the crowd, it was difficult for the people around him not to be injured.
For now, he couldn't linger on fighting. It was best to break out of the encirclement first and then slowly plan.
Xia Qingran had the same thoughts as him and immediately understood his thoughts. She immediately led the group to use the Little Star Formation as the foundation, with Ning Wushuang and Yu Zhiwei in the middle. In the blink of an eye, a group of people rushed out of the hall.
Only now could he breathe.
Following the gap that Lin Zimo had created, everyone charged out of the villa.
The men in black tried to chase after him but were stopped by Lin Zimo.
"You guys go on your own. I'll be there in a while.”
Lin Zimo's voice reached Xia Qingran's ears and she nodded. This was not the time to dawdle. She had to be decisive!
With Lin Zimo's martial arts, these men in black would definitely not be able to stop him.
He immediately brought his junior sister, Ning Wushuang, and Yu Zhiwei away from the Howling Moon Manor first.
At this moment, Lin Zimo also sensed that something was wrong with this group of men in black.
They were not afraid of death. Their bodies were far harder than ordinary people. They were like copper and iron, but they were also like walking corpses. Their attacks were not affected at all after their limbs were cut off!
If it weren't for the fact that these guys didn't have the habit of biting people while hugging them, Lin Zimo would have suspected that they were zombies…
He retreated as he fought. If he wanted to, it would not be difficult to kill them all.
However, this was not the time to kill them all. It was not just them. The whistling arrow just now would definitely attract more people.
Once they were caught in the enemy's sea of people, the situation would become quite troublesome.
In fact, Lin Zimo was on the roof at this moment and he could already see a black shadow running towards them from afar.
This group of people had killed all the people from the Hissing Moon Manor. Clearly, they had not left, but had set up a trap here, waiting for others to fall into the trap. As a result, the number of people lying in ambush in the surroundings was much more than he had imagined.
This group of men in black was probably nothing…There might be more hidden experts in the future.
In this case, they had to be wary!
With a thought, Lin Zimo slashed a black-robed man in half and turned to leave.
After flying out of the Howling Moon Manor, he saw the imprint of the Book Fragrance Building near the root of a tree.
Along the way with Xia Qingran and the others, Xia Qingran had told Lin Zimo about the mark through a casual chat with them.
Every sect in the martial world had their own mark.
Different imprints had different meanings.
The more complicated ones could leave a sentence directly from a few simple marks.
He was sending messages or giving orders to his fellow disciples or people from the same sect.
Ning Wushuang had casually asked about the imprint of the Fragrance Building, although he regretted it after asking…This thing involved the secrets of the sect, so he naturally couldn't ask casually.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingran didn't pay much attention to it. She simply put three branches together and made a strange shape.
This shape seemed ordinary. If it was in the wild grass or under the wall, no one would pay too much attention to it.
However, in the eyes of the disciples of Scholarly Incense Villa, this was the simplest guidance.
According to the length of the three branches, it could be used to determine the location of the other disciples nearby.
Of course, Xia Qingran didn't reveal more information about the mark. After all, it was a secret within the sect.
He just didn't expect that the small talk from that day would come in handy at this moment.
With a thought, Lin Zimo followed the direction that the mark pointed in.
He knew that his Light-body Technique was average, so it was impossible for him to catch up to her directly. He just hoped that he didn't find the wrong person.
At the same time, he could also take care of some of the pursuers behind him if he was a little slower.
……
……
"I can't laugh at Yu Zhiwei for having a bad sense of direction anymore…"
Lin Zimo had a straw stick in his mouth and was sitting under a tree with the one-legged bronze man in a box on his back.
Around him were some men in black with missing limbs.
However, he didn't have the achievement of killing the enemy…Instead, he had the feeling of frustration of finding a way out.
The first few imprints were easy to find. However, when it came to the fourth imprint, Lin Zimo realized that…he could not find it no matter what.
He walked around in circles and finally had to admit that he was lost…
Qixia Mountain was neither big nor small, but the path to Bantian Cliff was a mystery.
He sighed softly and looked into the depths of the forest not far away.
"Come out. There's no need to hide anymore, right?”
A person slowly walked out of the forest.
He was tall, but not burly. He was as slender as a pillar.
He was wearing a female character costume, but he had makeup on his face. His sleeves were long and flowing.
As he walked, he sang softly.
Occasionally, he would raise his head, his eyes shining brightly."Hey! You little thief, when did you discover me!”
“……”
Lin Zimo's lips twitched as he counted with his fingers.""About an hour ago."
"Yayayaya…"
That person shook his head repeatedly, his mouth chattering. His hands waved in the air, and his flowing cloud sleeves fluttered up and down.
"This…must be fake! My inner energy is deep and I know how to hide. How can I be easily discovered by a little thief like you!？”
Lin Zimo felt that it was really difficult to talk to this person.
"Believe it or not…"
Lin Zimo was also bored now.
He had been going around in circles for half a day, and almost all the men in black in the mountain had been killed by him.
The other party had followed him for an hour without making a move. He reckoned that he wanted to follow him to find Xia Qingran and the others…But now, it seemed that he had failed.
He couldn't even find it himself, let alone him?
But this also meant that Xia Qingran and the others were safe…
Thinking of this, he spat out the grass in his mouth.
"Enough nonsense. After killing you, I still have to continue looking for people.”
