Origin

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan said this, everyone left their seats and stood up, each holding a weapon and following him northward.

Dozens of purple energy masters were dispatched at the same time, and the scene was so spectacular. Those with mounts rode on horses, those without mounts used their body skills to fly across the sky, and the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Wu Zhongyuan used his body skills to walk with the others, but he never summoned the Royal Green Dragon Armor. He didn't know where the Black Stone Valley was, and he couldn't find it even if he took a step ahead.

Talking drunkenly does not necessarily mean you are really drunk. Wu Zhongyuan was not drunk. His previous words were just another way to let everyone understand their respective situations. They had to make everyone understand that he was a savior who sacrificed himself for others rather than a power seeker obsessed with profit.

When he learned that the Black Widow was attacked, the first thing he thought about was who would do it. You must know that the Black Widow is moving the whole city this time. In addition to the Black Widow herself, who has Taixuan cultivation level, there is also a group of followers accompanying her, many of whom are trained. People with Qi, including red, blue and purple Qi, there are dozens of people with spiritual Qi cultivation alone. Ordinary people simply don't dare to intercept and provoke, not to mention that at this time, the team sent by Wu Qin to greet them has already joined the Black Widow. , although the number of people sent by Wu Qin was not large and there were no masters of purple energy, they were under his banner. Provoking these people is equivalent to provoking him. Everyone knows this truth. Who is so bold and dares to expose it? Offend him?

Thinking about it carefully, there are three possibilities for this matter. One is seeking revenge. The person who took action was targeting Black Widow. To put it bluntly, Black Widow's Yinma River is a black market. It is impossible to have no enemies after so many years of operation. The person who took action was far away in the north. Xinjiang doesn’t know much about the situation in China and is not too afraid of him.

The second possibility is to rob money. Black Widow brought a lot of supplies with her on this trip, and the person who did it was going for these supplies. If this is the case, the person who did it must be a powerful force. Since the robbery, it means that They can eat it, but ordinary bandits will definitely not be able to eat so many supplies.

The last possibility is a trap. The person who did it knew that all the purple energy masters of the Bear Clan were gathered in Daqiu, and deliberately attacked the black widow and lured everyone there. However, this possibility is not high, because he appeared to stop him. The war that is about to break out has not lasted more than three hours now. The enemy cannot set up a trap so quickly. Furthermore, if they want to kill all the purple energy masters of the Bear Clan, except for the Ox Clan and the Bird Clan, they may be able to do it reluctantly. , others really don’t have such strength.

Five hundred miles is neither close nor far. In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the Black Stone Valley. This is a north-south valley, about ten miles long. The terrain on the left and right sides of the canyon is very steep. , there is no way for carriages and horses to go, this long and narrow valley is the only way for the convoy to go south.

The exit of Blackstone Valley has been blocked with rubble and broken wood. The Yinma River convoy that winds for miles has its tail at the end and is moving slowly northward. Dozens of corpses are left in the valley, most of them They are all warriors from Yinma River. Since there are many different species in Yinma River, there are many beast corpses among the corpses. If you look closely, you will see among them are bear warriors wearing red and blue cloaks.

Everyone from the Bear Clan arrived at the same time, without waiting for Wu Zhongyuan’s order.

The crowd took advantage of the favorable terrain and occupied all sides of the valley, stopping the convoy that was turning around and headed north.

Because everyone arrived so suddenly, the enemy did not notice it in advance. After everyone descended from the sky and completed the encirclement in a very short time, the enemy realized that something was wrong. Twenty or thirty people were all wearing purple cloaks, and they were all filled with purple aura. Master.

"Sister, look, Master Huangdi is here." A woman's cry came from the valley.

Wu Zhongyuan looked around and saw that the person calling was a young woman who was injured. She was tied up with chains and thrown into a carriage. He had met this person before and had dinner with her. She was Black Widow's deputy. Lady.

The Black Widow was also captured, tied up with iron chains, and locked in the same carriage as the Flower Lady, but she was seriously injured. When she heard the Flower Lady shouting, she just managed to raise her head and tried to speak but did not make a sound.

Wu Zhongyuan was standing in the north-eastern area of ​​the valley at this time. From a high place, he could clearly see the scene in the valley. There were six people walking in front of the team. These six people should be the leaders. Many of their subordinates rode The horses were distributed throughout the convoy, and the number of people was roughly estimated to be about two hundred.

After observing, Wu Zhongyuan raised his breath and floated down, landing directly in front of the motorcade.

Before that, Wu Junyue had led three purple energy masters to block the opponent's way. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's arrival, the four of them hurriedly stepped aside to make way for him.

"My lord." Hua Niangzi raised her head again and called.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Hua Niang, nodded at her, and turned to look at the six people in front of the team. These six people are not young, the old one should be almost seventy, and the young one is over forty. Judging by their clothes, they all come from the cold northern Xinjiang. Their demeanor should be that they are all respectable people, and their expressions and eyes are undoubtedly desperadoes who are robbing families and homes. Regarding the arrival of the purple energy master of the Bear Clan, although these people know that something is wrong, they still He didn't show excessive fear, but still had a fierce look on his face.

Wu Zhongyuan's eyes swept over the faces of the six people one by one. Logically speaking, the complexion would not show up if the other party did not use spiritual energy, but the complexion was only one of the means to judge the other party's cultivation. A truly discerning person would know who the other party was at a casual glance. In terms of cultivation, two of these six people are Ziqi Dongyuan, and the other four are Light Zijushan, and there is no Deep Zi Taixuan among them.

While Wu Zhongyuan was sizing them up, the other party was also sizing him up. There was a lot of ferocity in his eyes, and he looked like he knew he was losing but still wanted to fight.

After a brief look at each other, Wu Zhongyuan withdrew his gaze, turned around and stepped forward, "Leave two questions."

Wu Junyue took the order seriously and gave the order. Everyone in the Bear Clan launched an attack from all places at the same time. Dragons entered the sea and tigers entered the wolves.

This was the first time that everyone followed Wu Zhongyuan into battle. Everyone hoped to leave a good impression on him, and they all showed their special skills. Due to the huge difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the war was over in less than five minutes, and more than 200 people were killed. , only two Ziqi warriors were seriously injured and fell to the ground waiting for questioning.

Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to interrogate, but walked to the carriage and swung his sword to cut off the chains on Hua Niangzi and Black Widow. Hua Niang was slightly injured. After breaking free from the restraints, she immediately jumped off the carriage and helped Black Widow, who was unable to move, to remove the chains.

Black Widow was indeed injured, but what was more serious than the injury was poisoning. Black Widow's face was pitch black, and even her lips were black, as if she had gotten into the bottom of a pot. Even people who didn't understand medical skills knew it. He was very poisoned.

To describe the Black Widow as dying is not an exaggeration. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's arrival, the Black Widow steeled herself and wanted to say thank you, but her lips only moved and no sound came out at all.

"What kind of poison?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at the lady beside him.

The flower girl replied, "Sister's own scorpion poison."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Hua Niangzi hurriedly explained, "Before Ma Zhong and others came after me, a tall white-haired old man blocked our way. The eldest sister fought with him, but was pushed back by the poisonous spiritual energy. , backfires on itself.”

"Where is that person now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown. After arriving here, he had already discovered something unusual. The black widow was a master of Taixuan, and there was no Shenzi Taixuan among the six people.

"The old man disappeared after he injured the eldest sister," Lady Hua shook her head and said, "This man's cultivation is unfathomable and he comes and goes without a trace. We didn't even see where he went."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Black Widow is Deep Purple Taixuan. Those who can force back its poisonous energy must have higher spiritual energy than Taixuan.

Seeing that although the Black Widow was poisoned, her life was not in danger for the time being, Wu Zhongyuan did not stay any longer, turned around and left, going to interrogate the two injured thieves who fell to the ground.

"Send your name." Wu Zhongyuan looked at the two of them coldly.

The two of them snorted coldly and tilted their heads to the side, as if they would rather die than surrender.

Wu Zhongyuan drew his sword out of its sheath, killed one person, returned the sword to its sheath, and spoke again, "Can you speak now?"

"The Black Cloud Gang Iron Horse." The thief said.

Just open your mouth and answer whatever you ask. The first thing Wu Zhongyuan asked was the motive. The motive of these people attacking the Black Widow was also very simple. It was both revenge and robbery. They were indeed bandits from Northern Xinjiang. In fact, the Black Widow is also a thief. Over the years, the two sides have deep grievances that cannot be explained in one or two sentences.

"Who is helping you deal with the Black Widow?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The thief hesitated.

Since he was hesitating, even if he knew it, Wu Zhongyuan did not ask further questions, but just looked at him and waited for his answer.

The thief also knew the consequences of not telling, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's Uncle Bai Qianshou, the helper we invited from Snowman Ridge."

Wu Zhongyuan had never heard of this place name or this person, so he turned to look at Hua Niangzi. Hua Niangzi knew why Wu Zhongyuan was looking at him, so she nodded and said, "Snowman Ridge is in the freezing cold land of the far north."

"This place is far away from northern Xinjiang. Where are you going to hijack the carriages and horses?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Since we returned to northern Xinjiang," the thief said, "the things on these carriages and horses were all taken by the black widows, and many of them originally belonged to us."

"Do you know where this is? Do you really think you can get away with robbing these carriages and baggage?" Wu Zhongyuan sneered. Many of the movement routes of the Black Widow convoy are located in the Niu Clan's territory. If Jiang Zhengruo knew that these guys robbed the Black Widow He was so happy that he jumped up and down, and immediately sent troops to suppress the bandits. Even if he didn't snatch everything away, Jiang Zheng would not return them all when he came to find them in the future.

The thief lowered his head and did not answer.

"You will be punished for your crime of killing my bear tribe warrior, and you will die unjustly. I will keep you alive and bring a message back to Northern Xinjiang," Wu Zhongyuan said loudly, "I don't care what the black widow has done before, since she voted for me, she is mine As a person, I will definitely protect her, even if she makes any mistakes, it should be handled by me, and it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere. "

The thief responded in a low voice.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, and the man stood up in embarrassment and staggered away.

Although the thieves killed the warriors who drank in the horse river, they did not harm the others who were accompanying them. The black widow was poisoned, so the flower lady ordered the convoy to be organized, and continued southward until the obstacles blocking the road were cleared.

After the convoy set off, Wu Zhongyuan summoned everyone to explain that the ceremony to take over Da Wu was inevitable, and it was scheduled for the day before the festival.

Since things happened here, everyone separated and went back to their respective headquarters.

Wu Zhongyuan did not send everyone away. He also left two wizards, Wu Huan and Wu Lanqing, and ordered them to go to the Niu Clan Yuancheng in the north and the Snowman Ridge in the north to investigate the situation.

"Da Wu suspects that this matter is related to the Niu tribe?" Wu Di asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know, but I always feel that something is not quite right about this matter..."
