Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 459 Assassination
Tang Ning lay in ambush around the Cao family's house, and saw the light rising up, heading southeast, in the direction of the Zhang family's Yuyue Mountain. House.

He quietly followed. Cao Ruixian was carrying a woman with him, so the escape speed was naturally not as fast as him. After traveling for about an hour, seeing no one around, he fled at full speed, chasing the figure in front of him: "Fellow Daoist Cao, please stay."

Cao Ruixian paused for a moment, and looked back, only to see a foundation-building early-stage monk in a black robe and a bamboo hat rushing forward, and he was puzzled in his heart.

Tangning stopped a few meters away from Cao Ruixian and said, "You must not go to the Zhang family, Daoist Cao, it's a trap."

Cao Ruixian was startled, and quickly asked, "Why did you say that, fellow Taoist?"

"Because..." Tangning said, she made a sudden move, a faint light flashed between her brows, and an invisible brilliance shot out. Cao Ruixian was listening intently, waiting for him to say the following. Unprepared, the brilliance transformed by Tangning's spiritual sense Directly submerged into his forehead, into the sea of ​​his consciousness.

Cao Ruixian waited for his reaction, but it was too late. The green light group in his Niwan Palace was attacked, and instantly scattered, and he was completely motionless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tangning flipped her hand, a white light flashed, and Cao Ruixian's head rolled down.

All of this happened in a blink of an eye. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Tangning made a sudden move, using God Attack to directly attack his consciousness, and then chopped off his head with a flying sword. The whole process took only a short while.

For this assassination, he purposely borrowed the shadowless cloak from the sect to hide the real spiritual power fluctuations on his body, in order to catch Cao Ruixian off guard.

Seeing Cao Ruixian's head rolling off, Cao Hanyan who was standing next to him screamed in horror.

The sword light flashed, the shouting stopped abruptly, and Cao Hanyan's body and head were in a different place.

The two bodies fell straight, Tangning caught the two bodies in a flash, so as not to fall into a big hole and reveal their whereabouts.

He took the two of them with him and went into the forest below, took the storage bags from the two of them, incinerated their bodies, destroyed the corpses and wiped out the traces, and left here.

..............................

The Zhang family's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, the lights were brightly lit, from time to time there would be flashes of light, in the main hall, there was a sense of festive excitement, everyone exchanged cups and laughed happily.

Zhang Yuanchang stood up, picked up his wine glass and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoists, for coming here. Today is my [-]th birthday. I think I have practiced all my life, and I have been negligent for [-] years. It can be said that time flies, time flies, and I don't know the approach of old age." There is no hope in this life, and with this in mind, I invite fellow Taoists to come and have a drink, and I will not return tonight if I am not drunk."

"Brother Zhang is in full bloom, what is an old man?"

"Zhang Daoyou's longevity is still sufficient, and he is not old. It is time to show his grand plans."

"If you are like me, you are really old, and you have to wait for death."

Everyone said.

A man from the outside stepped inside and said, "Patriarch, Master Zhu is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Tao had already walked in from outside the hall, and pulled out a wooden box: "I'm really sorry, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I've been busy with secular affairs, so I came late, it's so trivial, it's not a respect."

Zhang Yuanchang took the wooden box, glanced at Zhang Wenxuan behind him, and said with a smile on his face: "You are welcome, fellow Daoist Zhu, please sit down quickly."

Zhu Tao sat down as he said, and everyone drank and chatted happily until one day's ugly day, when they all dispersed.

Zhang Yuanchang bid farewell to them one by one, and returned to the hall. Zhang Wenxuan followed closely behind, and hurriedly asked, "Father, how is the matter with the Cao family?"

"Hmph, what, what else? If he is not dead, can you come back?" Zhang Yuanchang snorted coldly.

Zhang Wenxuan was silent for a long time, and said angrily: "Qian Yizong bullied people too much, he bullied us like this, which is tolerable or unbearable, this hatred must be avenged in the future."

"Enough." Zhang Yuanchang shouted, and then his voice slowed down: "Just keep this in mind, and don't say it to others, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that they won't use the same method to deal with us. These bastards are the most despicable and shameless. They are a group of unscrupulous villains. For them, only their own strength is strong enough to make them afraid, otherwise they will be slaughtered."

"Father, why didn't I see Hanyan after I came back? You held such a big birthday, and other brothers and nephews came to congratulate, why didn't you see her?"

"I sent her to invite Cao Ruixian."

"What?" Zhang Wenxuan's complexion changed drastically: "You? Then her?"

Zhang Yuanchang waved his hand: "If you don't send her, how can you gain Cao Ruixian's trust, and how can you come back?"

"But, she is Hai'er's wife, and even Yun'er's mother."

"Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs. Why am I willing to do this? It's just to preserve the future inheritance of the Zhang family. If you have the heart, you should work hard, keep in mind what happened today, and cultivate to a great success in the future. Take revenge on that Tangning avenge."

Zhang Wenxuan clenched his fists, his eyes turned red, and he said nothing.

...........................

Huangjian Mountain is hundreds of feet high, and there is nothing else on the top of the mountain, only a pavilion covering a very large area, named Huangjian Gambling House, which is one of the Cao family's industrial areas.

About a moment later, a man came out of the attic, flew away with his sword, and after a while, he saw a ray of light chasing him from behind. lax.

The light fell in front of him, revealing the figure of a man with a swallow's jaw and a tiger beard. It was Cao An, a disciple of Fubu in Xuandedian Township of Qianyi Zong.

The man bowed and saluted, and said, "Uncle An, why are you here?"

Cao Andao: "I have been waiting outside the attic for quite a while, specially waiting for you."

"I don't know what Uncle An has ordered?"

"Go back and tell Ziyuan that I have something important to discuss with him, and ask him to come to Fenghua Valley to find me immediately."

The man wondered: "Why don't you go directly to the mansion to find your uncle?"

"It's not convenient for me to show up. This matter is of great importance, so don't let other people know."

"Yes, my nephew understands."

…………

Inside the Cao family's mansion, the man went down with his sword, until he reached a palace, and walked in quickly.

Inside, a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ape arms was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Sensing someone entering, he opened his eyes and said calmly, "De Shou, why are you here? What's the matter?"

The man bowed and said: "Uncle, after my nephew came out of the Huangjian Mountain Gambling House, I met Uncle An. He ordered my nephew to come to see you, and said that he had something important to discuss with you, and asked you to go to Fenghua Valley to find him immediately. He I also told my nephew that the matter is of great importance and must not be disclosed."

"Oh?" Cao Ziyuan frowned slightly: "Why didn't he come in person?"

"He said it was inconvenient to show up, so he sent someone to deliver a message."

Cao Ziyuan thought for a long time, then got up and left the hall, disappeared into light and left, after a short walk, he came to a valley.

Cao An had been waiting for him here, and when he saw him falling, he said, "Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few years, have you been alright?"

"What makes it so mysterious that you have to get this meeting?"

"Brother Yuan, don't you know? Our Cao family is about to be exterminated. I took a huge risk to come out to meet you, just to save your life and our family."

Hearing his words, Cao Ziyuan pretended to be fine and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Cao An sighed: "Brother Yuan, the two of us grew up together. Although I entered the Qianyi Sect, I have always thought about our Cao family. Until now, you still have to hide it from me? Are you really I didn't realize at all that our Patriarch is going to turn his back on the Demon Sect, you can hide this from me, can you hide it from Gan Yizong?"

Cao Ziyuan finally couldn't hold back his face when he heard him point it out directly, and asked, "Who did you listen to about this matter?"

Cao Andao: "The sect has long since received information. Knowing that the Demon Sect has sent disciples to lobby against our Cao family, the head teacher was furious. Originally, he planned to send someone to exterminate our Cao family."

"One, considering the prestige of the Cao family in Beiyuan, after all, they have not formally changed their flag and announced to join the Demon Sect. Two, because of my deadly remonstrance, I tried my best to make a statement, so I suppressed the anger of the thunder and sent me to persuade me you."

"The Cao family is already under surveillance. The sect has sent Golden Core cultivators here. As long as the Cao family makes a slight move, there will be blood flowing into rivers. Now is the time when our family lives and dies, and the family is only a matter of thought."

"Brother Yuan, let's stop playing around in circles now. Tell me the truth, do you know about this?"

Cao Ziyuan was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't know about this matter. Three days ago, the head of the family called us together to discuss this matter. I only found out that he had already discussed with You Meizong. We negotiated the terms."

"But we didn't make a hasty decision to join the Phantom Sect. Our family has a great cause, and it is not a matter of time to retreat. It needs to be well-arranged, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being."

Cao An said: "Fortunately, you didn't make a hasty decision, otherwise the moon will be waning."

Cao Ziyuan said: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

"It's very simple. This matter is all caused by Cao Ruixian. You just blame him for everything. In addition, from now on, if you run for election as the Patriarch of the Cao family, I will fully support you. As long as you don't If you turn your back on the Qianyi sect, the Cao family will not be in danger of perishing."

"Running for the head of the family? How can this work? Ruixian has a very high prestige in the clan, and it is impossible to replace him with my ability and prestige."

"What if he dies? Isn't it reasonable for you to run for the Patriarch?"

Cao Ziyuan's eyes narrowed: "You mean?"

"Brother Yuan probably doesn't know yet! Cao Ruixian was killed last night."

"What?" Cao Ziyuan was shocked.

"This is the only way to save the Cao family. As the chief villain of the evil sect, the sect cannot tolerate him. Only when you become the head of the family and sever the connection with the demon sect, can the Cao family not be wiped out. .”
