Chapter 27 The Faceless Stranger
In the west of the capital, there is a deep house compound separated from the Yan family by several streets.

Its scale is still higher than that of the Yan family, and it is the mansion of the Sun family.

At this moment, in a single-family attic deep in the mansion, Sun Yang, dressed in a white satin robe, was kneeling on the ground, his cheeks almost on the ground, dripping with cold sweat.

On a large red sandalwood chair in front of him, a snow-haired old man in a red robe was sitting with a golden sword on his horse, his face full of curved wrinkles, and he was holding a teacup in his hand and sipping lightly.

This old man is Sun Zhengyi, the contemporary head of the Sun family.

"Grandpa, my grandson is wrong. This time, I shouldn't be so arrogant. I believe in Qiu Batian's servant and fight to the death with the Yan family, which has caused our grandson's loss to be so great." Sun Yang raised his head slightly and looked towards The old man said in a trembling voice.

Hearing Sun Yang's remarks, a touch of anger appeared on the old man's face, and he slammed the teacup on the table beside him.

"You bastard, at this time, do you have to put the responsibility on Qiu Batian? It seems that your younger brother may be more suitable for the position of the young master of the Sun family." The old man shouted angrily.

When Sun Yang heard the sound, his whole body trembled, and he was silent like a cicada.

"Haha, why is President Sun so angry? As far as I know, the Yan family was able to win this time, but there are other reasons, and you can't blame your grandson." At this moment, outside the attic , suddenly a feminine voice rang out.

"Who?" Sun Zhengyi's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and shouted violently.

As soon as Sun Zhengyi finished speaking, a layer of crimson light suddenly lit up on his body, and his robes were bulging without wind, and an astonishing aura suddenly radiated out.

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the attic suddenly "squeaked" and was pushed open by a gust of wind.

At some point, a strange figure appeared beside Sun Yang like a ghost.

This person is slender, wearing a gray robe embroidered with green bamboo patterns, and a metal belt wrapped around his waist.

Sun Zhengyi's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't dare to make a rash move.

"I dare to ask who your Excellency is, and why did you break into my Sun's private house?" He took a step closer to Sun Yang and asked with hands.

"President Sun don't need to be nervous, I'm a friend rather than an enemy, I'm here to help you." The gray-robed man's voice was soft, and he couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger.

"There are guests coming, what are you doing on your knees? Why don't you hurry up and make a pot of tea." Sun Zhengyi didn't take it seriously, just smiled and said to Sun Yang.

No matter how ignorant Sun Yang was, he didn't know that Grandpa wanted him to get out of here first, so he quickly got up from the ground.

When he got up, he couldn't help but looked up and glanced at the gray-robed man's black-haired face beside him. He let out a horrified scream, causing him to fall down again.

"Giggle..." The gray-robed man didn't care, but raised his head slowly, with a strange smile coming out of his mouth.

I saw that his face, which was covered by the hair, was gradually revealed, and it was a terrifying face with no facial features at all.

If it is said that there are no facial features at all, it is not appropriate, because the eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the bridge of the nose is slightly raised, it looks like the whole face is covered with a layer of human skin, which looks really scary.

Even though Sun Zhengyi was well-informed, seeing this scene, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, but resisted not showing too much abnormality.

"What's not promising, get out of the way." He raised his foot and kicked Sun Yang, and kicked him aside with a heavy weight.

Only then did Sun Yang stabilize his mind and step aside, not daring to look up at the man again.

"Your Excellency just said you want to help us, I don't know how to help?" A smile appeared on Sun Zhengyi's face.

"It's not so much to help you, but in fact it's to help myself. I'm not someone from the Yue country. It's inconvenient to work in Yuejing. As long as you listen to my arrangements, winning the Yan family is just a small effort."

The faceless man obviously has no mouth, but in the throbbing of his throat, voices continue to come out.

This scene looks really weird.

"This?" Sun Zhengyi said, clasping his hands together, pretending to hesitate.

"Why? You don't believe I can do this?" The faceless man turned to look at Sun Zhengyi.

Sun Zhengyi stared at his slightly sunken eye sockets, and suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.

Before he could say anything, the faceless man's whole body shone brightly, his aura was no longer concealed, and he immediately released.

A powerful air flow gushed out from all over his body, rushing all the tables and chairs around him, and all of them shattered into powder between collisions.

Sun Yang involuntarily flew upside down, slammed into the wall heavily, and let out a miserable cry.

"I believe, I believe! I also ask the seniors to stop quickly." Sun Zhengyi shouted again and again, and he was already shocked.

Now, he is finally convinced that the strange person in front of him is undoubtedly a foundation-building cultivator whose cultivation base far exceeds his own.

Hearing the words, the faceless man smiled, "giggled", and as soon as he collected his mana, the disturbance in the house subsided immediately, and Sun Yang also fell from the wall, spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

"Dare to ask the seniors, what do we need our Sun family to do?" Sun Zhengyi did not dare to check his grandson, and asked respectfully to the faceless man.

The faceless man glanced at him: "Don't do anything for now, just wait for me to arrange it..."

After speaking, his figure flashed away from the window again, and his voice drifted away.

……

After leaving Sun's house, the faceless man flew all the way towards Yan Mansion.

Just as he was walking to a secluded place, he suddenly stopped and took three steps back.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" I saw three dark secret weapons shot out from nowhere and nailed to the bluestone pavement in front of them.If he hadn't been alert earlier, I'm afraid he would have been pierced right now.

"Come out!" The faceless man looked up at a big tree not far away.

Before he finished speaking, a white figure suddenly appeared in the shadow at the corner.

"It turned out to be you?" The faceless man looked intently and made an incredible cry.

The man was dressed in a pure white plain robe, with a cold temperament, with two shallow pear vortices embedded in his cheeks.Although he has a beautiful appearance and is quite handsome, his expression is stiff and his eyes are empty, which makes him look very strange.It was Ning Xiaoxiao who had not appeared for a long time.

She also carried a pitch-black wooden box that was almost the same height as her body, engraved with various runes, and the front of the box was densely covered with small holes the size of a thumb.

I saw her look blank, her right hand stretched out, her fingers spread out, and she aimed at the faceless man.The spirit pattern on the bracelet worn on his wrist flickered, and there were bursts of black light.

At this time, the faceless man seemed to be facing a great enemy, he pulled out his sword, aimed at Ning Xiaoxiao, and blasted out the mana of the foundation-building period.

The two were deadlocked with each other for a while, and Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up mechanized as if receiving some kind of information.Immediately withdrew the mana on his body, slowly retreated, and gradually disappeared into the shadows.

……

Time flies by like a white horse, this morning.

Just as Chaoyang dyed the gate of Yan's residence golden red, a person stepped up on the steps outside the door and walked straight towards the door.When the servants along the way saw him, instead of stopping him, they saluted him one by one.

It is well-proportioned, wearing a blue-brown short jacket, with a red hairband tied on his forehead, with sharp facial features, and carrying a square cage woven with rattan in his hand. firm.

Following the courtyard paths and corridors, and through the courtyards, Tie Jian came to the inner courtyard of Yan's Mansion.

On the other hand, I saw the small abacus rushing out from the corridor on the left.

"Brother Tie, you're back!" Before he could finish speaking, Little Abacus's eyes turned red, and he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Tie Jian was startled, thinking that something had happened to Yan Zi, and quickly asked, "What's the matter, but what happened to Miss Yan?"

"No, Miss is fine, but I just haven't woken up. You've been away for so long, I thought you wouldn't come back..." Xiao Abacus said in a quivering voice with excitement.

"Don't cry, I'm back here." Tie Jian heard the words and said with a bit of confusion.

"Brother Tie, have you caught the phosphorus-eating beast?" Abacus stopped sobbing, glanced at the rattan box in Tie Jian's hand and asked.

"Well, this guy lives in a very special place. There are many powerful monsters around. It took a lot of effort and time to catch it." Tie Jian also glanced at the box in his hand and said.

Through the gap in the rattan box, a small beast with scaly armor stuck its black nose out, panting with a "hum, hum, hum", and a lavender mist constantly spewed out from its nostrils.

Tie Jian's words are simple, but these two months have actually been extremely difficult.In order to capture this beast as soon as possible, he fought with several monsters that were comparable to the peak of the Qi refining period, and even disturbed a red-eyed monster ape that was infinitely close to the foundation-building period.

After a lot of hard work, he finally killed all these monsters, but he also lost two magic swords, and even the talismans he had obtained before were all used up.

However, Tie Jian is not without gain. Through constant soul-devouring, his current cultivation base has reached the perfect state of Qi refining.

After entering this realm, he felt that there was something strange in his dantian, and it seemed that some changes that he did not know were brewing.I just don't know if this is a change that everyone will have, or because he devoured too many souls through the strange fire, so he is a little nervous.

Tie Jian and Xiao Abacus walked into the main house and came to Yan Zi's boudoir's gums.

Apart from the paleness on her face, her expression was quite peaceful, her eyelashes flickered a few times from time to time, as if she would wake up at any time.

The little abacus twisted out a snow-white towel from the copper basin, and gently wiped Yan Zi's cheeks and hands, deliberately avoiding the black patch in her palm.

Then, she stepped aside to leave space for Tie Jian and let him sit beside Yan Zi.

Tie Jian first took a few glances, then turned around and opened the rattan box.Just as he stretched out his hand, the phosphorus-eating beast immediately opened its mouth wide and bit him.

With a light twist of his wrist, he circled behind the scaly beast like a conjuration, his five fingers clasped its back like pincers, and lifted it up in the air.

The phosphorus-eating beast is only the size of an ordinary domestic dog, with stubby limbs, a head like a mouse, and six-sided scales on its back. Its claws are not sharp.

His body was hanging in the air, but his limbs were twisting and struggling frantically, baring his teeth, trying to break free.

Tie Jian turned his wrist, and a hollow iron tube the thickness of a little finger appeared in the palm of his palm.

He stared at the phosphorus-eating beast's snow-white abdomen for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he stabbed one end of the iron pipe into the belly of the little beast, which happened to be where its gallbladder was.

Immediately afterwards, he pierced the other end of the iron pipe into the edge of the "black mole" in Yan Zi's palm.
