The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 346 The Eye of the Lone Wolf

The night is deep.

From time to time, the autumn wind shuttles through the death cave.

Candles were burning in a stone room, unmoved at all.

The stone room is slightly rudimentary, but it is spacious enough that the candlelight cannot fully cover it.

A painting can be vaguely seen hanging on the corner of the wall, the light is weak, and the whole painting cannot be seen clearly, only two agate-colored yellow dots are glowing with faint green light.

That is a pair of eyes.

These eyes have low inner corners and higher outer corners, just like the hanging eyes that actors put on when singing Peking Opera.

It was just a painting, but as far as the eyes were concerned, the painted object was no different from a living thing—these were the eyes of a wolf.

It is conceivable that this painting also depicts a wolf.

As we all know, wolves are beasts, and they are a group of people.

Wolves always live in groups and depend on each other, so what about lone wolves?

When a wolf is alone, he becomes a lone wolf. Generally, there are two possibilities for being alone, either all his companions are killed or injured, or he is forced to live alone after failing to fight for the wolf king.

A lone wolf hunts alone, in order to survive, for food, and can risk his life.

The lone wolf is also extremely forbearing, not absolutely sure, and will not attack rashly.

Is Nightmare, the owner of the stone room, also a lone wolf?

Nightmare hasn't gone to bed yet.

Some people seem to never want to spend time on sleep, but Nightmare is not a person who forgets to eat and sleep. Apart from drinking, most of the time he chooses to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Up to this moment, Nightmare still hadn't closed his eyes, so he was naturally drinking.

He held a jug of wine in his left hand, but a note in his right.

The note listed the news about Yan Hui's return to the inn in the past half month.

There was also a note on the table, which listed Jiang Chengzi's whereabouts during the past seven days.

Nightmare didn't order anyone to deliberately watch Jiang Chengzi's every move in secret, these were just the daily information he asked for from Ghost Transept before half a cup of tea.

After reading the information on the note, I just finished drinking the wine.

The two notes were reduced to ashes, Nightmare stood up and walked towards the stone room.

Not long after, they came to the door of another stone room.

This stone room is much brighter, with tables and chairs, and the rest are just four walls.

There is already a person in the stone room.

Nightmare walked into the stone room, his eyes only stayed on the man for a moment, then he looked at a ball on the ground.

This ball was wrapped in several layers of linen, and it was still not a regular spherical shape. Judging from its size, it was exactly the size of an ordinary human head.

And the heavily wrapped linen cloth can also be seen in patches of dark red.

The people in the room seemed to have only noticed Nightmare's arrival at this time, and were about to bend down to untie the package, but they were stopped by Nightmare.

"sit."

While speaking, Nightmare had withdrawn his gaze and sat down in the chair.

The people in the room did as they were told, and at the same time took off their hoods, revealing their youthful faces.

This person is none other than Jiang Chengzi, that is, Jiang Yichen.

Only then did Nightmare start to size up the young man.

The young man's eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were black, and his hair was disheveled. The black clothes could cover his embarrassment, but he couldn't hide the exhaustion from his body.

"This is the woman in black who broke into the grasp of the underworld seven days ago?" Nightmare raised his chin slightly, with the tip of his chin pointing towards the package on the ground.

Jiang Yichen said: "Yes."

Nightmare said: "Your speed is faster than I expected."

Jiang Yichen said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

Nightmare said: "I heard that you borrowed a sword before you went out."

Jiang Yichen said: "Yes."

Nightmare raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious, he was asking, "Where is the sword?"

Jiang Yichen said: "The sword is broken."

Nightmare was a little surprised, and said, "Oh? To be able to break the sword in your hand, either he is a master, or that person has a sharp weapon in his hand."

He suddenly smiled, looked at the package on the ground again, and said: "But that yellow-haired girl is obviously not a master, and she doesn't have any sharp weapons in her hands."

Jiang Yichen said: "I chopped off her head with a sword."

Nightmare said: "So, someone wants to avenge her?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Yes."

Nightmare asked, "Who is it?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Her companion, someone from Tingyu Pavilion."

Ye Shang said: "In other words, this woman is from Ting Yu Pavilion."

Jiang Yichen said: "Tingyu Pavilion, Liandie."

Nightmare asked, "Why did she come?"

Jiang Yichen said, "Test."

Nightmare asked, "Trying what?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Test the truth and verify the truth of a piece of news."

After hearing the words, Nightmare seemed to understand what kind of news this would be, and asked, "How did she know this news, or how did they know it?"

Jiang Yichen said: "They captured several people from the Four Seas gang, and they got it from these people."

"Interesting." Nightmare smiled slightly, his expression was particularly intriguing, "Their stronghold is the Yanhui Inn?"

Hearing that Ye Shang directly pointed out that Yan Hui returned to the inn, Jiang Yichen was not at all surprised. The news about Lian Die's landing at Yan Hui's inn came from Yemu and Xunxiang Tan. The church received relevant information.

Therefore, Nightmare just asked knowingly, Jiang Yichen said: "Yes."

Ye Shang continued: "I heard that the night before you went to Jianglin Town, you went back to the inn at night?"

Jiang Yichen didn't intend to hide anything, and said bluntly, "Yes."

Nightmare asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Because there is a guest who just checked in in the morning, I guess they will find a time to meet and meet, usually in the dead of night, when they are planning a big event, time is not waiting, so I have to go."

Nightmare said: "It is indeed a smart choice. However, you seem to have stayed for a long time after entering, but you only came out at dawn?"

Jiang Yichen had expected that Nightmare would dig a trap here to lure him into the bait, and said calmly, "After I sneaked into it, I eavesdropped on it for a while, and then I was discovered."

"Then how did you escape?" Nightmare narrowed his eyes, and while talking, put his elbows on the table, and slowly moved towards Jiang Yichen.

It was the first time for Jiang Yichen to get so close to Nightmare.

The cross scar connected to the corner of the mouth on Nightmare's left face was strikingly eye-catching under the lighting of the lights, and he could faintly smell a little alcohol coming from his nose.

The pupils in the eye slits suddenly shrunk, like the eyes of a lone wolf, with unstoppable penetrating power and insight into people's hearts.

At this moment, he looked more like a wild beast that was staring at its prey, ready to go, to be precise, like a wolf!

Just like his title "Wolf Judge" in Nether Sect.

Jiang Yichen didn't dare to look at him again, and turned his head away, afraid that two poisonous needles would fly out of the wolf's eyes, and he would die if he saw blood!

Suddenly, an autumn wind rushed into the stone room, Jiang Yichen took a breath of fresh air, as if reborn.

Immediately, he noticed a chill coming from behind, and it turned out that the clothes had already been soaked in cold sweat.

Nightmare withdrew his body from the table, did not continue with the last question, and said, "You didn't succeed at all that night?"

"Success" naturally refers to beheading Lian Die's head.

Before Xu Shi recovered his strength, Jiang Yichen was unable to speak for a moment, so he shook his head.

Nightmare said again: "And you can still escape from Tingyu Pavilion surrounded by several people?"

Jiang Yichen nodded again.

Nightmare asked one after another: "Then how did you cut off that girl's head?"

"Wait." Jiang Yichen struggled to squeeze out a word between his teeth.

Nightmare said meaningfully: "Wait? Waited for six days, until Ting Yuge made another move, and that girl happened to be on the order?"

Jiang Yichen nodded and said, "Four days."

Nightmare said, "There are still two more days?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Use it to escape."

Nightmare noticed that there was no trace of blood on the ground, and said affirmatively: "Yes, no matter how much blood there is, it should have been drained in two days."

Then he stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Come with me."

Jiang Yichen was startled, not knowing why.

Nightmare stamped his feet and said, "I never break my promise."

Jiang Yichen thought about it in his mind for a while, and only then did he understand what Nightmare meant, but he couldn't help being stunned.

Investigate Liandie's identity, purpose of coming, and bring her head back, he did it.

Nightmare didn't ask for more details, which was reasonable, after all, Nightmare could get more information from Ghost Transept than his one-sided remarks, so that he could analyze a more detailed story.

However, before everything has been verified, and even Lian Die's identity is only his family's opinion, Nightmare wants to teach him "Yin Feng Gong"?

Jiang Yichen was completely covered...
