In the desolate countryside, the full moon hangs high and is dotted with stars.

Amid the concerns of a group of classmates, best friends, and close friends, Zhong Yiyun boarded the sect's spirit boat and returned to Qianyan Sect.

Stay in the private room.

The expression on Zhong Yiyun's beautiful face gradually relaxed, and she took out the storage device used to kill the thief.

The running spiritual sense scanned the storage container, which contained spiritual stones, magic weapons, spiritual talismans, elixirs and other items.

After briefly estimating the value of these spiritual objects, Zhong Yiyun glanced at the rest of the debris from the corner of his beautiful eyes.

Originally it was just a casual glance.

Unexpectedly, a dark token in the shape of a luan bird caught Zhong Yiyun's attention.

"An Luan Pavilion"

Zhong Yiyun looked at the token in detail, and his face gradually became solemn.

Anluan Pavilion is a famous killer organization in the Taling Desert. It is rumored that it comes from the Immortal Cultivating Dynasty next door. It has a long heritage and a very powerful foundation.

His record in the past hundred years was the assassination of two powerful Jindan realm ancestors.

This force kills people, no matter who you are, no matter what your background is, whether you are a kind person or a vicious person, as long as you are given enough spiritual stones or resources, they will directly send a killer to kill you.

Employers often have two choices when selecting assassins. The first is to pay a huge amount of spirit stones, and Anluan Pavilion will guarantee to help you kill and bury the target. After handing over the spirit stones, you can just wait to receive news of the target's death.

Second, if you are short of money, you can only choose assassins of different grades.

As for whether the target can be killed, it all depends on the assassin's level. If the kill fails, you need to give spirit stones or resources again, otherwise you can only watch the enemy continue to live.

Because his reputation is high enough and his employer's identity has never been exposed, and the assassins in the pavilion are powerful, there are often forces in Taling Desert who seek cooperation with Anluan Pavilion.

But generally speaking.

Employers often choose the second method of cooperation. The reason is that the price to pay for the first type of cooperation is too high.

For example, fifty years ago, there were rumors in major oases that a dandy boy chose the first way to cooperate with Anluan Pavilion, and ended up killing a direct descendant of the Qi-training realm of the foundation-building force, which cost him two hundred and twenty high-grade coins. Spiritual stone.

This amount of money was enough to buy a second-level spell, so much so that when a foundation-building bandit cultivator learned about it, he openly claimed that there would be no more dandy boys killing people in the future, so he came to him directly, and the price was higher than Anluan Pavilion's. Half as low.

Although these are all rumors, their authenticity is open to question.

But it can be seen from this that Anluan Pavilion has a high price to pay and has a fierce reputation.

Assassins of this force are often accustomed to carrying their own Yingluan tokens with them when they attack, so that they can receive mission information at all times, exchange for resources in the pavilion, etc., and do not care at all about their identities being exposed due to the tokens after losing their lives.

The attitude given to me is that you will come and destroy me if you have the ability.

Although such practices are hated by people, it is easy to get a bad name. People like Zhong Yiyun know this organization well.

"There is only one killer from Yingluan Pavilion, and the other killer monks all have unknown origins."

Zhong Yiyun scanned all the killer's relics and found only one token from Anluan Pavilion, frowning.

That's when.

There was a knock on the door in Zhong Yiyun's ears.

"Junior Sister Yiyun, it's me."

Along with the knock on the door, there was a clear voice. The speaker was Bai Fei from the Qianyan Sect, who was also Zhong Yiyun’s senior sister. The two had a close relationship and were attacked and killed together not long ago.

Zhong Yiyun used his spiritual sense to scan the door and saw the tall senior sister Bai Fei coming with a junior sister, and then eliminated the formation restrictions in Yajian.

As two direct descendants of the Qianyan Sect came in.

The female cultivator in a light red dress came straight to Zhong Yiyun and asked with a slightly solemn face:

"Sister Yiyun, have you discovered the origin of these killers?"

The female nun who spoke was named Mu Yilin, and she was Zhong Yiyun's junior sister. The two had an equally close relationship, and they were also attacked by killers at night.

Zhong Yiyun's beautiful eyes turned slightly and said: "Among the killers I killed, one came from Anluan Pavilion. As for the rest, I don't know where they came from at the moment."

The words fell.

The female cultivator in the light red dress sighed, and said with a slightly complicated expression: "One of the killers that Senior Sister Bai Fei and I killed was also from Anluan Pavilion."

"The origins of the other killers are also unknown. Although Senior Uncle Yuzhen, Senior Brother Huo Wen, and Senior Sister Jimei worked together, no traces were found."

"To this day, it's still unclear who secretly sent the killer to assassinate us."

When saying this.

Mu Yilin looked slightly depressed.

Because although she is a direct descendant of the Mu family, she has always been a marginalized person in the family. She has had a harmonious relationship with her family since she was a child and has not had any disputes over interests. In the sect, she is always kind to others and is free to do whatever she can. , don’t fight or rob, the popularity is very good.

Under such circumstances, Mu Yilin asked herself that she had never offended anyone. She was suddenly attacked, and she was puzzled. She felt that she was probably a victim.

The killer's ultimate target is obviously not himself.

Recalling the scene of the attack, Mu Yilin hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Senior Sister Yiyun, I think when the thief attacked, you were the main target."

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

This question is also what Bai Fei wants to ask.

After staying with Zhong Yiyun for a long time, Bai Fei knew that her close friend's identity was somewhat special. The mere fact that he was a direct descendant of Zhenren Gu Lian made the sect master's attitude slightly subtle.

In addition, he has some inextricable connections with the Lu family, so it is easy to be labeled as the Lu family. On weekdays, he also competes with other direct descendants of the sect for resources. It would not be surprising if he was actually attacked and killed.

The reason why I think so.

In addition to the above reasons, the most important thing is that Bai Fei witnessed the thieves' attacks at night, and they basically went towards Zhong Yiyun, and their methods were very sharp.

Even the two Anluan Pavilion assassins who had been hiding finally gave the fatal blow to Zhong Yiyun.

If it weren't for Bai Fei and Mu Yilin who both had the means to protect themselves, they fought tooth and nail to stop an assassin from Anluan Pavilion.

In addition, Zhong Yiyun had several protective treasures given by Master Gu Lian, so he was afraid that he might be seriously injured or killed on the spot.

Being surrounded and targeted.

Zhong Yiyun naturally knew it, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't think of what kind of force would assassinate her at the risk of being retaliated by Master Ji Zhu.

"Recently, I haven't offended anyone. I have been practicing quietly in seclusion in the sect."

Seeing Zhong Yiyun thinking hard for a long time and finding no one to suspect, Bai Fei couldn't help but sigh.

She thought for a while and then said: "Uncle Yuzhen, Brother Huo Wen, and Sister Ji Mei are all very good at finding traces, but the three of them worked together, but they couldn't find any clues."

"If we want to find out who is behind these killers, we can only wait until we return to the sect and ask the elders or the other elders of the sect to take action."

The direct descendants of the Qianyan Sect who came to the rescue were basically elite monks. They were either the knowledgeable elders of the sect, the mainstays of the major forces, or the direct descendants who had been trained by the elite since childhood.

However, a group of people worked together and failed to detect the killer's origin. From this, it can be seen that the head of the Lu family seems to be very careful and rigorous in his work.

Every step of the lie is carefully crafted. In this way, the "truth" found through difficult pursuit will be more convincing.

that's it.

With doubts, Zhong Yiyun and others returned to Qian Yanmen.

He learned that his precious apprentice had been attacked.

Master Gu Lian rushed over directly at night, and also brought a Master Establishment who was very good at investigating.

After this real person took action.

In the end, Zhong Yiyun got several life soul beads.

These bead instruments contain some fragmentary images that the killer saw during his lifetime.

The running spiritual sense swept through several life soul beads.

Some repetitive and fragmented pictures emerged in Zhong Yiyun's sea of ​​consciousness.

After a period of sorting.

After putting the repeated pictures together and ignoring some meaningless scenes, Zhong Yiyun got the coherent picture he wanted.

In an instant.

The scenes in Zhong Yiyun's sea of ​​consciousness flowed continuously. A group of cultivators and killers were in a dark secret room, surrounding a masked leader in a serious atmosphere.

On the back of the left hand of the masked leader monk, there is a pattern of a black and white black deer.

It’s not yet time for Zhong Yiyun to take a closer look at the pattern.

The hoarse words of the masked leader gradually echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Twenty years ago, we were ordered by Your Majesty to kill Lu Yunlang's beloved wife to test whether she was really a playboy. Unfortunately, we were deceived along the way and provided wrong information, which greatly reduced Your Majesty's vigilance and ultimately led to her encountering Lu Yunlang's poisonous hands. ."

"Although we are at fault in this matter, the main culprit is Lu Yunlang. Now the time has come. I have reliable news that Zhong Yiyun, the legitimate daughter born to Lu Yunlang and his beloved wife, will pass through the Beiling Mountains in a few days."

"Lu Yunlang appears to be a playboy, but he is actually very affectionate and righteous in his heart. When we killed his beloved wife, after receiving the news, he came back to save her at the risk of losing his life. Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious and taken away by his personal bodyguards. "

"Although I found out about this matter a little late and missed the important event, now I can use this to set up an ambush in the mountains of Beiling to trap his daughter. I will definitely be able to lure her here, and then together with Anluan Pavilion Killer, work together to kill him and avenge your Majesty!"

Speaking of which,

The masked leader looked at a killer and said in a hoarse voice: "Lang San will take the lead in the assassination operation. It must be done properly. If it fails, commit suicide and apologize!"

"Back then, Lu Yunlang secretly asked someone to send his daughter to the Qianyan Clan for training. Now we will assassinate his daughter from the Qianyan Clan, so that he can once again enjoy the pain of losing a loved one before he dies!"

"Don't worry, leader, we will definitely live up to our mission!"

The killer named Lang San accepted the order coldly, and then led a group of monks out of the secret room.

The words emanating from the scene in the secret room echoed in Zhong Yiyun's sea of ​​consciousness for a long time.

Every word, every sentence is like a musical note, repeated over and over again in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Zhong Yiyun was greatly shocked.

The whole person was stunned.

at this moment.

Her mood surged, and her thoughts suddenly became chaotic. It was really difficult to accept the picture of the Sea of ​​​​Consciousness and the words in it.

Doubtful for a long time.

She never thought that the thief who attacked and killed her was actually related to the Lu family and Lu Yunlang.

Moreover, judging from the meaning of the killer's words before his death, Lu Yunlang's dandyism was just a pretense, and there was a hidden secret in it, as if it was hiding an unknown past event.

Zhong Yiyun had always felt that it was Lu Yunlang's playfulness and domineeringness that attracted the thieves, and because of his irresponsibility, he killed his mother.

This is the biggest cause of estrangement and hatred.

But now I know that there is another hidden reason for my mother's death. Not only is the person I hate not the culprit, but I may have tried my best to protect my beloved back then.

The person I have always hated has been secretly enduring the scolding and paying for it silently.

This idea is like a sprout breaking through the ground, growing uncontrollably in my mind.

The belief that he had held firm since childhood collapsed in an instant.

Zhong Yiyun seemed to have drained all his strength, and he gradually slumped down on the bed. He bit his pink lips lightly, and his thoughts were confused for a while.

She couldn't help but think of seeing Lu Yunlang's seriously injured figure in the mountains, and of Lu Yunlang's back when he left. The complex emotions in her mind were all condensed into one sentence.

"Is he really pretending to be a playboy?"

Questions about Zhong Yiyun’s innermost being.

Jiang Qiong naturally knows the real answer, but he may not be able to answer it in a short time.

The simplest reason.

If he answered, it could be said to have directly ruined the plan of the head of the Lu family, which would definitely lead to an investigation, increase the risk of his identity being revealed, and even lead to other variables.

After working hard for several years, Jiang Qiong naturally didn't want to give up halfway. She also thought about pretending for a while. After secretly learning the Lu family's inheritance, it would not be too late to expose her.

As for whether the lie will hurt Zhong Yiyun.

To take a step back, even if Jiang Qiong didn't impersonate Lu Yunlang, this would still happen.

There is no impersonation of Jiang Qiong.

Lu Yunlang himself would also perform this act at the request of the head of the Lu family.

Jiang Qiong was like a tool man. He just did what Lu Yunlang wanted to do. At the same time, due to his own interests, he did not expose the lie.

Taking a step back, I prefer to put gold on my face.

Jiang Qiong cooperated with the Lu family in telling a white lie, adding a layer of kindness to Zhong Yiyun's scarred childhood.

If I have to be a little bit biased, if we are not relatives or friends, your business is your business and has nothing to do with me. There is no need for me to take the risk of losing my interests to dismantle the lie. Everything is just following the landing. If the family head's plan goes wrong, if anything happens, the head of the Lu family will be the one to suffer. I am just a ruthless tool.

What, you are saying that I am a thief who is adding fuel to the flames, that I have no qualities and that I am a villain?

Okay, you're right.

Jiang Qiong went to a remote county with these thoughts.

Following the instructions of the head of the Lu family, he found the secret room of the Lu family and stayed there to "recuperate."

According to the lie.

He was seriously injured and had to recuperate in a secret room for half a year.

This process can be described as relaxing.

But Jiang Qiong currently has a lot to do.

Therefore, after arriving in the secret room, he directly asked the Shadow Sword Spirit Puppet to stay here while he returned to the desert. (End of chapter)
