That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 110

Walking in the fine snow under an umbrella, Xu Beiyou roughly bandaged his injured palm.

This time, he did not use any swords from Tianlan and Quexie, but an ordinary saber from the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall. As the saying goes, the Demon Town Hall guessed that he was going to Jiangdu, so They wantonly set up the net to guard the net, but unfortunately the net is big enough, but not dense enough, which gave Xu Beiyou a chance to think carefully.

If a deacon of the Town Demon Palace dies, the Town Demon Palace will definitely conduct a strict investigation at Xilingkou, but whether to expand the matter to the entire Yanzhou depends on whether the person in charge of the Town Demon Palace in Yanzhou has the qualifications. If you expand the matter, if you end up only catching a disciple of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, and then make a mistake and let the real Jianzong young master go, no one can bear the responsibility.To take a step back, who would believe that the young master of the Sword Sect, whose cultivation is no more than the first rank, would dare to expose his whereabouts under the nose of the Demon Suppressing Palace?

In the final analysis, Xu Beiyou's careful thinking was to catch him by surprise and do the opposite.

It took Xu Beiyou less than an hour from leaving the inn to returning to the inn, just in time for dinner.Xu Beiyou and the old man surnamed Yan sat at a table, and the old man surnamed Yan asked softly, "Brother Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Beiyou went straight to the point and said: "The remnants of the Sword Sect have taken action and killed a deacon of the Demon Suppressing Palace. Later, some officers and soldiers may come to interrogate him. Mr. Yan has a plan in mind in advance, so that everyone should not panic when the time comes."

The old man surnamed Yan frowned, obviously did not expect such a thing to happen, he is an old Jianghu, he also knows a thing or two about Taoism and Jianzong, and knows that this kind of sect struggle is most likely to affect Chiyu, it is true If the gods fight with mortals and suffer disaster, he would not be afraid of it normally, but this time the young lady got mixed up in the caravan, and the old man would inevitably have to worry.

Xu Beiyou couldn't see the slightest difference, it seemed that he was really a deacon of the Temple of Suppressing Demons who concealed his identity, and said in a slightly lowered voice: "Mr. Yan, don't worry, since Xu promised not to implicate the caravan, he must do what he said , this time the young master of Jianzong went to Jiangdu, and his whole body was affected by one hair, and the small troubles in Yanzhou were just Jianzong's plan to attack east and west, so it can't be taken seriously."

The eyes of the old man surnamed Yan were fixed, and he said in a low voice: "Young Master of the Sword Sect? Could it be that the rumors a few days ago are true, that the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Gongsun Zhongmou, has died at the hands of the Master?"

Xu Beiyou's eyes darkened imperceptibly, nodded and said: "That's exactly the case, that's why we want to intercept and kill the young master of the Sword Sect, and strive to complete the battle in one battle, and completely cut off the lineage of the Sword Sect."

This secret incident made the old man surnamed Yan's face extremely serious, but it also made him have no doubts about the identity of the young man surnamed Xu.

After all, if it is not someone from the Town Demon Palace, how can they know such secrets?

He never imagined that the genuine young master of Jianzong was sitting opposite him, talking freely.

After dinner, on the way back to the room, Xu Beiyou met a woman who had just come out of the room. She gave Xu Beiyou a hard look, went downstairs without saying a word.

Xu Beiyou stood where he was, shaking his head and smiling.

——Half an hour after Xu Beiyou left, following the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of people walked into the alley.

The tall Wucheng Tianguan was still wearing the same iron armor, and the leaves of the armor rattled as he walked.

He walked up to Zhang Yugui's body and looked down with a gloomy expression.

Following behind the Tianguan of Wucheng was a head of Yanzhou Daomen. He was a little uncertain about the thoughts of the chief deacon of the Demon Suppressing Hall, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the remnants of the Sword Sect?"

Wucheng Tianguan bent down, lifted the clothes on Zhang Yugui's chest, and said in a deep voice: "It's a finger sword, and it's fatal. It's undoubtedly someone from the Sword Sect, but I can't tell who made it. for."

The head of Yanzhou Daomen asked softly: "But the person the chief deacon is waiting for?"

Wucheng Tianguan straightened up, shook his head slightly, and said: "The young master of Jianzong is still young, and his cultivation level is still relatively low. If he does not rely on the power of the sword weapon, he may not be able to achieve this level of cultivation level. This is one of the reasons. In addition, It is not a secret that our Demon Suppressing Palace wanted to arrest the young master of Jianzong. I am afraid that he has already got the news. How could he take the initiative to expose his whereabouts at this time? This is the second. From these two points, it can be concluded that today's action cannot be The young master of the Sword Sect should be a certain sword master in the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall."

"What is the intention of Jianzong's move?" the head of Yanzhou Daomen then asked.

Wucheng Tianguan smiled coldly, "It's probably to confuse the public, or to make a fool of yourself."

He paused for a moment, the darkness on his face became heavier, his eyes became sharper, and he said: "It may be that Zhang Yugui accidentally saw the whereabouts of the young master of Jianzong on the way here, so he was followed by Jianzong Master kill Mikou."

The head of the Taoist sect in Yanzhou was startled, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the young master of Jianzong is in Xilingkou now, then should we send more people..."

Wucheng Tianguan sneered, "Let's not say that Zhang Yugui has been dead for about half an hour, and this time is enough for the murderous sword master to escape from the city. I can guarantee that the young master of the sword sect is also in the city. After all, these are all my speculations and there is no real evidence. Can you take this responsibility? Is it you, or me?"

The master of the Taoist sect in Yanzhou didn't dare to speak any more, he lowered his head and asked, "Please show me the head deacon."

"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, keep your soldiers still." Wucheng Tianguan said word by word, "The young master of Jianzong may not leave Yanzhou, and he may not be in the city now. Zhang Yugui's death is unclear. Before the cause of death is found out, we must Act rashly, and I will go to the commander of the defense at Xilingkou. After all, this is his territory, and no trouble can escape his eyes. That master of the sword sect can easily kill more than ten fourth-rank Disciple, it is very tricky to kill a first-rank expert with one blow, if you act rashly, you may lose your hands again, and the gain outweighs the loss."

The chief nods his promise again and again.

Wucheng Tianguan waved his hand to signal the Taoist disciples behind him to start collecting the corpses, then squinted his eyes and looked at the night sky above his head, and said softly to himself: "Even if I pass my level, there are still eight chief deacons, but this time the chief deacon, but The ninth-ranked Southern Ghost Emperor."

Hearing the name of Southern Ghost Emperor, the bowed master of Yanzhou Daomen trembled slightly.

The 36 chief deacons of the Temple of Demon Suppression are a watershed from the tenth onwards, and all the chief deacons who can make it into the top ten are masters of the earth fairy realm.And there is an unwritten rule in the Temple of Demon Suppression, if multiple chief deacons join forces, then the master of the Temple of Demon Suppression will appoint one of the top ten chief deacons as the person in charge. Nine chief deacons were dispatched, and the ninth-ranked Southern Ghost Emperor was the head.

On the second day, the snow was still fluttering. According to the original itinerary, the caravan should stay at Xilingkou for one day, but the old man surnamed Yan temporarily decided to leave today and leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible.

After the group left the inn, Xu Beiyou changed into a winter outfit similar to that of the others in the caravan. The sword box was wrapped and hung on the side of the saddle, inconspicuous.

Today's Xilingkou seems to be the same as in the past at first glance, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The arrangement was very ingenious so as not to cause panic among the common people and merchants in the city.

Approaching the city gate, Xu Beiyou even found that there were several times more guards at the city gate today than in the past, and there were more than a dozen Taoist priests in blue Taoist robes among them, and the formation was heavily guarded.However, at any rate, he once called the King of Liao a brother, and played chess with His Highness the Princess. Naturally, he didn't care about this little scene, and he didn't change his face. After being checked by the city gate guards one by one, he followed the caravan out without any surprises. city ​​gate.

After leaving the city, the old man surnamed Yan who was walking in the front turned his head and glanced at the calm Xu Beiyou, his lips moved slightly, as if he had said something to the lady beside him.

The woman next to the old man snorted heavily.

It happened that Xu Beiyou looked up, and the two looked at each other. The woman gave him a supercilious look, and turned her head away.

Xu Beiyou smiled indifferently, and then looked back in a strange way.

Just saw a tall figure on the top of the city.

Xu Beiyou subconsciously pressed the sword box hanging on the horse's back.

The chief deacon of the Demon Town Hall! ?
