Chapter 38: Nothing more than murder (Happy New Year)

"I..." Zhang Zexu smiled bitterly.

But now I saw that Pei Daoye, the immortal master, was willing to help, and I was very moved.

In the past, he only felt that the Immortal Master was aloof and would not care about their life or death. In a daze, he wanted to kowtow to Pei Daoye.

But at this time, the crane-haired old man roared angrily and led the crowd to charge forward.

"Clang!"

The dagger was unsheathed.

The elegant swordsmanship of "Taiyi Sword Jue" pierced through several figures in front of them, and finally knocked the self-proclaimed martial arts master to the ground with just a light sword strike.

The sharp tip of the sword pressed against the opponent's back, causing his face to change and he dared not move.

"You...you dare to kill me? I have an immortal master behind me...Zhang Zexu has offended him. If you protect him, you will not do well - pfft."

The tip of the sword pierced directly into the old man's throat. His eyes widened and he couldn't believe that this young man actually killed him without thinking.

"Noisy."

Pei Daoye dropped the two words lightly, and then looked at Zhang Zexu: "Is the person behind him related to the leader of Hunyuan Hall?"

The "Hunyuan Palm" he cultivated came from this person.

Since the person behind the other party is looking for him, he will definitely come to seek revenge.

He couldn't stay away from the mountain for the rest of his life just to avoid this person.

"It's Taoist Huo Yuan. He is the brother of Hunyuan Temple Master Liu Wanfeng. I heard that he is an alchemist..."

"Alchemist?" Pei Daoye was stunned.

I thought he was some kind of powerful swordsman, but he turned out to be just an alchemist.

"Do you know what his cultivation level is?"

"This... villain doesn't know." Zhang Zexu smiled bitterly.

Pei Daoye was thoughtful.

Suddenly a group of people rushed in from the alley.

Zhang Zexu said quickly: "Taoist Fire Ape now controls the Dasha Gang, and these people are working for him... It is said that the local county chief wants to get the elixir, so he doesn't care about these things that take human lives."

Pei Daoye didn't pay attention to any of the county masters, he just made a mental calculation... Since the other party is an alchemist, he must have an alchemy recipe.

As for cultivation...

How powerful can one become if they are reduced to controlling a mortal gang?

If he was really a powerful alchemist, the merchants in Fang City would have greeted him respectfully.

He understands the world of people here very well.

"Kill him and avenge the Great Protector!" The big men in black roared and rushed over.

Pei Daoye glanced sideways.

Regardless of his duties in the outer courtyard, which he only knows about cultivation, he has always been a ruthless master.

Calmly watched this group of mortal grass bandits rushing over without knowing whether to live or die.

Zhang Zexu didn't know what he was planning. Seeing such tension, his heart jumped, and he struggled with his injured body to stand up and fight to the death.

"I don't do anything randomly. Think carefully...what you can give me."

Pei Daoye's words hit Zhang Zexu's ears. He was stunned and looked back, only to see Pei Daoye, a frail-looking immortal master, rushing away alone.

In the narrow alley, a bright light suddenly lit up.

This sword is like a rainbow piercing the sun!
Looking at the aura for a layman, even this aura is enough to frighten the courage of these bandits. The strong man who bore the brunt of the attack flew backwards as soon as he touched the sword light. Before he even hit the ground, a flower of blood suddenly bloomed on his chest. He fell into a corner without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Zhang Zexu gradually opened his mouth wide, and saw the young immortal master's body floated to the ground after raising and falling three swords, his expression unchanged... For a moment, the martial arts veteran was dumbfounded.

With three swords at hand, his energy is like a long dragon.

It was obviously just the simplest sword move, but the sound of the sword sounded like a roaring crane, and the three sword strikes in an instant had already knocked everyone present away.

Is this the power of the immortal master?
He woke up and bowed his head to Pei Daoye: "I beg the immortal master to make the decision for my father and my daughter!"

...the head of the Dasha Gang.

Near the courtyard, there were at least 20 men wearing black clothes and holding swords on guard.

In the living room in the yard, a bald middle-aged man was bowing his head and saying something. But the next second, a piece of porcelain was smashed to the ground, and the sound of breaking shocked everyone.

"waste!"

The bald middle-aged man hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Please spare your life, Master Huo Yuan. I have sent extra manpower to investigate the murderer of Master Liu. In addition... if the county master nods, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"I will personally negotiate with the county leader. You do your job well. If you can't give me a result within three days, you, the leader of the Dasha Gang, are done!" Taoist Fire Ape's angry rebuke came from the room.

The bald man was so frightened that he was sweating, and he resigned repeatedly.

inside the room.

Taoist Huo Yuan was guarding the alchemy furnace, his eyes as gloomy as water.

The county head of a small place actually dared to put pressure on him. If this person didn't have some relationship with Xuanshan Sect, he wouldn't be so afraid.

I only regret that my cultivation level is no higher than the fifth level.

If his cultivation level were higher enough to support him in refining high-level elixirs, how could this little county master dare to threaten him?

The murderer of his brother needs to be found, presumably some mortal warrior who does not care about life and death. When he finds him, he must be crushed!

However, it is a good choice to cooperate with the county leader, but I just don’t like the other party’s attitude.

……

"father……"

As soon as the girl saw Zhang Zexu appearing, she immediately trotted over with red eyes.

"I'm fine, thanks to the immortal master's intervention." Zhang Zexu endured the pain in his body and forced a smile with a pale face.

"Immortal Master?" The girl was stunned.

Zhang Zexu sighed softly, and gently touched his daughter's head with a grimace: "Let's wait for news from the immortal master."

The girl softly said "Yes", but she said worriedly: "But there is also an immortal master in the Dasha Gang who makes the decision. Dad, the senior immortal master you found...is it really okay?"

Zhang Zexu was thinking about the three swords he witnessed at the entrance of the alley in the afternoon... A layman would look at the sword's power, an expert would look at the doorway.

Although he has never practiced immortal magic, he also knows some top swordsmanship.

Under the young immortal master's sword power, even the simplest sword move could kill someone easily.

"That guy's sword is very fast."

……

Late into the night.

Suddenly the alchemy furnace vibrated.

Taoist Huo Yuan's expression changed slightly and he stepped forward.

There were rapid footsteps outside the door, and someone asked in a low voice: "Master Immortal, has something happened?"

"Get away, no one is allowed to disturb my alchemy!"

The man led the people away angrily.

Ignoring these mortals, Taoist Fire Ape quickly formed seals and hurriedly stabilized the alchemy fire. After waiting for a while and seeing that the alchemy furnace no longer trembled, he felt a little relieved.

"Otherwise, since you are the head of the county, do you really think that Master Dao and I will waste materials to refine a life-prolonging elixir for you? Go ahead and dream!"

"Pfft."

A dull sound came.

Taoist Huo Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a bare head rolled to the ground and rolled to his feet.

He was startled and leaned back in anger.

"who!"

"The person who killed you."
