The best ring

"The owner of the village!"

A group of disciples from the Sword-making Villa stumbled into the hall. They were the same people sent by Zhao Dahai to find Elder Liu.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to find Elder Liu and his friends? Where are they?" Zhao Dahai couldn't help but ask.

"Elder Liu...Elder Liu and the others are dead!"

"They're all dead!"

"Not a single one left alive!"

The disciples who came in hastily responded with all kinds of chatter.

Although the disciples' answers were very confusing, Zhao Dahai and the elders present understood the meaning of their words.

Elder Liu and the dozens of people he brought to ambush Wu Fan were all dead!

But how is this possible? !

Elder Liu has the strength of the peak of Huajin, and he brought seventy or eighty disciples with him. However, their target was less than ten people, and they were only a second-rate sect. They were not allowed to attack a certain sect's headquarters. , how could they all be dead?

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Zhao Dahai asked sharply.

The worries in his heart became reality, and Zhao Dahai was in an extremely bad mood at this time.

"We don't know either."

"We followed the owner's request and searched for Elder Liu and the others along the way. When we found them, they were all dead."

"The corpses all over the ground are too horrific to look at."

The faces of Zhao Dahai and other elders became increasingly ugly.

"Where are their bodies?" Zhao Dahai asked.

"Bring them all back, in the square."

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Zhao Dahai and others hurried towards the square. With the dim lights around them, Zhao Dahai and others saw corpses all over the square, including Liu Qinghong's body!

The faces of Zhao Dahai and others suddenly became darker than the surrounding night.

This is the death of seventy or eighty people, including masters at the peak of their strength. Such losses are also extremely heavy for their Sword Forging Villa.

"Are there other bodies at the scene?" Zhao Dahai asked.

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

"Not a single one?" Zhao Dahai asked.

"Not a single one." Everyone affirmed.

Zhao Dahai stopped asking questions, but his face became even uglier.

"Master..." Han Song came to Zhao Dahai and reminded him in a low voice.

Zhao Dahai looked in the direction pointed by Han Song and found that the lights in many rooms in the village were on. It seemed that many disciples were looking in this direction curiously.

"Bury the bodies of Elder Liu and others. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened tonight." Zhao Dahai said to the disciples who were responsible for looking for Liu Qinghong and others.

"Yes, Master." The disciples responded in unison.

Not to mention the disciples around them, they were also very curious at this time. What happened? Why Elder Liu and others were killed? Moreover, such a big thing happened, and the village owner actually asked them to keep it secret. , is there something shady going on here?

However, Zhao Dahai obviously did not want this matter to be publicized. Although they were curious, they did not dare to ask more questions.

After instructing the disciples to deal with the bodies of Liu Qinghong and others, Zhao Dahai and others returned to the previous hall. The entire hall was unusually quiet, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

"Tell me, what is going on?"

After a long time, Zhao Dahai finally spoke, but his voice seemed a little hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time.

Elders present, you look at me, I look at you, but no one spoke.

"This is a major event for our Sword Forging Villa! Tell us what you think!" Zhao Dahai spoke again, his volume rising a bit.

"Elder Liu and others may have encountered an ambush from other sects on the road." Elder Xu spoke first.

"There is a possibility that there are many sects coming to our Sword Making Villa this time, and among them there are many sects who have been spying on our Sword Making Villa and are hostile to our Sword Making Villa. They and Elder Liu and others are just the back and forth. If you leave the villa, you may be ambushed at the foot of the mountain.”

"Yes, there were several forces that wanted to steal the swords made by our Sword Forging Villa before. After they failed to succeed, they are likely to wait for an opportunity to do it again, or take revenge."

The other elders spoke one after another. It was obviously impossible for Elder Liu and others to die for no reason. The elders present were all connected with people from other sects about his death, but no one would speculate on Wu Fan and others.

Zhao Dahai's expression remained unchanged, and he did not speak to express his approval or objection. Instead, he turned his gaze to the great elder Han Song, who had never spoken.

"Elder Han, what do you think?"

Han Song hesitated slightly and said, "I don't agree with what the elders just said."

"Oh, if Elder Han has any insights, you might as well tell them and listen." Elder Xu said with an unhappy expression.

"There are a lot of people from our sect coming to this Sword Appreciation Conference, but there are not many people from each sect, and the strength is not strong, at least not as strong as the team led by Elder Liu, even if it is several sects If we join forces together, there is no way we can completely annihilate Elder Liu and others like they are now, leaving no one alive," Han Song said.

Zhao Dahai looked thoughtful, and the other elders looked a little embarrassed, but they were unable to refute, because what Han Song said was very reasonable, and the strength of the sects he came to was indeed not strong, not as good as Liu A team led by an elder.

"It's possible that they used some conspiracy or trick," Elder Xu argued.

"Let's not talk about whether Elder Liu will be stupid enough to fall into the trap. Even if he falls into the trap, with Elder Liu's peak strength, even if he is surrounded, there is still no problem in breaking out." Han Song said.

Elder Xu was speechless. Among the sects who came to participate in the Sword Appreciation Conference this time, the top masters had not reached the peak of their strength. Even if Liu Qinghong was ambushed, facing a group of people who were weaker than herself, she still had a chance. Those who are able to break through will not be wiped out like they are now.

"In addition, there is one more thing." Han Song spoke again, with a slight hesitation on his face: "Although I don't want to admit it, the weapons used by Wu Fan are indeed better than ours. The weapons used by ordinary disciples of Jingfangzhai , is already on the same level as the weapons we have worked so hard to build, not to mention the peerless sword in Liu Yan'er's hand. Our Sword Forging Villa is excited about these weapons, how can other sects not be tempted by them? The ambush will only be for Jingfangzhai’s people, not ours.”

Yes, there are not many people like Wu Fan, and they all hold top-quality weapons in their hands. People from other sects will probably be attracted by them. If they want to take action, they will only attack Wu Fan and the others. Killing people and seizing treasures is in the circle of cultivators. It's nothing to be alarmed about.
