Chapter 283 The Name of Xiaobao
In the image, a middle-aged Taoist priest was confronting Zhuge Yu, but it seemed that because there was not much breath left in the Lingxiao Ancient Sword, the image lasted for a few seconds and then dissipated.
Everyone present had such sharp eyesight, even though the image was only for a brief moment, they could still clearly see the person in it.
The Great Protector suddenly chuckled, with a ferocious look in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's actually him?"
"Does the Great Protector recognize this person?"
Everyone frowned in unison, and Feng Qingzi couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to ask. Hearing what the Great Protector said, he seemed to know this person, so he had a clue.
"Hey, what a coincidence! Feng Dao's beloved disciple was killed, and one of my disciples died at the hands of others not long ago. Later, my disciple's soul-gathering lamp showed an image of his life. It was this Taoist priest who moved him. "Hand." The Great Protector chuckled evilly and gritted his teeth.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
"Are you talking about Wuhen, the Great Protector?" The man surnamed Zhang seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Exactly, Wuhen was ordered to go out to track down the murderer who killed Xiahou Dharma Protector. However, news of his death suddenly came back a few days ago. Although this person was useless, he was still a disciple of the Dharma Protector. How could he let others attack and kill him, so I Cast a spell on his soul-gathering lamp to find out the real culprit who killed him."
The Great Protector spoke slowly, but there was a gloomy ferocity in his voice: "I never expected that this madman is the same person who killed Feng Dao Friend and his disciple."
Everyone was deeply surprised.
But at this time, the elder Sun lowered his head, with a hesitant look on his face, and murmured something softly in his mouth.
Feng Qingzi frowned slightly when he noticed something strange about him, and asked: "Junior Brother Sun, what did you find?"
Elder Sun still had a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Feng Qingzi, then at the Great Protector, and finally at the Lingxiao Ancient Sword whose light had dissipated. After a long while, he said: "Just now... the murderer used Where have I seen the magic weapon?"
Hearing this, Feng Qingzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that junior brother also recognizes this person?"
"Never seen it before." Elder Sun shook his head and tried to remember.
After a moment like this, he suddenly opened his eyes, shot out a deep chill, and said: "Yes, I remembered that this golden mace was used by the boy named Ye a few months ago. Is this man a Taoist priest? It's obvious It’s the boy named Ye who pretends to be it!”
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Sun, really mean what you said?"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, especially the man surnamed Zhang and the other Wutianmen protectors, whose faces were even more awe-inspiring. This monk surnamed Ye was no stranger to them, but he still had some inhumane secrets, which could not be seen through by the Qiankun Sword Sect, so after the initial shock, they all tacitly hid it.
"Of course it is true." Elder Sun sneered: "I personally chased and killed this son that day, how can I admit my fault for the magic weapon he used?"
"No wonder he dared to take action against Yu'er. It turned out to be this person. It makes sense. He must have been wanted by my party, so he had a grudge in his heart, so he killed him." Feng Qingzi's face was covered with a haze, which made him feel sad. Everyone around felt an inexplicable chill: "But now that there are clues, it will be very difficult to find him."
"This kid is so brave. He dared to sneak into the Hanging City even though we were jointly wanted by both factions. He is really asking for his own death!" The old man surnamed Sun's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of depth in his expression that others could not fathom.
But he also had troubles in his heart.
The monk surnamed Ye had Wuji Desolate Fire on his body. If he could get it, he would no longer need to cooperate with Wutianmen. When he left that day, he asked Zhuge Yu to report to him immediately if he met this person. Now it seems that the latter is responsible for it. I thought I could handle it, but in the end I ended up with no body intact.
Elder Sun grinded his teeth secretly. He hoped that the boy would appear again.
After hearing what the two said, the Great Protector nodded in agreement: "Yes, when I cast the spell on Wuhen's Soul Gathering Lamp, I had already found out that this person had appeared in a mortal family, and I was preparing to send him a few days ago. People went to interrogate him, but they were delayed because of the two factions joining forces. "
"Mortal family?" Feng Qingzi and others expressed doubts.
"Exactly."
The Great Protector said: "This is a martial arts family in Zhou Guochang County. All of them are mortals and there are no immortal cultivators. This person probably mingled among them to avoid the pursuit of our two factions."
"No wonder no matter how we tracked him down in the past few months, this person seemed to have disappeared from the world without a trace. He escaped into the mortal world."
Elder Sun's eyes were ferocious. It would have been nice to catch Ye Xiaobao as soon as possible after he escaped that day. However, after months of hard pursuit, not only was he not caught, but he didn't even have any information about him.
For the elder Sun, this matter was a lifelong shame.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, don't worry. I will send someone to the mortal family to see if I can find out whereabouts of this person."
The Great Protector waved his hand and was ready to give the order.
But at this time Feng Qingzi suddenly stopped him and said, "No need, Feng will go in person."
"Fellow Daoist Feng wants to go to the mortal world in person?"
The Great Protector was startled, with a bit of astonishment on his face. Based on his understanding of this position, he was aloof and arrogant, and had never even bothered to step into the mortal world. Now he would take the initiative to go there, which surprised him deeply.
"Hmph! This man killed my beloved disciple, and he is the one who must be killed by both our factions. How dare a mere mortal family protect him? I should go and impose some punishment."
Feng Qingzi snorted coldly, and without saying much, he moved his figure, turned into a divine rainbow and escaped from the gate of Wutianmen Mountain.
Elder Sun's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After taking one last look at the man named Zhang and the other protectors, he also left one after another.
"It is said that Feng Qingzi, this old guy, has always guarded his shortcomings. I didn't expect it to be so. He would go to the mortal world to kill a mere disciple. It's so crazy." The great protector said with a strange smile on his face: "That's okay, let him go to the mortal world. Let’s go find that kid and save us the trouble of taking action again.”
"First Elder, that boy named Ye has killed members of my sect in succession and knows the secrets of my sect. If Feng Qingzi finds this person..." The man surnamed Zhang thought for a while and stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, the Great Protector frowned and became a little worried.
After pondering for a while, he looked at the man named Zhang and said: "It is true that he cannot find the boy named Ye first. Zhang Yuan, lead your disciples to follow this man. If you find out about that boy from the mortal world, you will wait for an opportunity to take action. You must Kill this guy before the two of them do."
As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his arms and continued: "I have a semi-spiritual talisman here. You can wait for the opportunity to take action, but remember not to conflict with Feng Qingzi and the other two. At present, our sect still needs to borrow the hands of the Qiankun Sword Sect. Get the things from the Tianjian Sect ruins.”
The man surnamed Zhang looked at the talisman in the protector's hand, took it with a flash of his eyes, and led Qin Ting and others away quickly.
…
As the Merchant Trade Fair approaches, the Hanging City has undoubtedly become extremely lively. Many new faces that were rarely seen in the past have arrived one after another, making many inns in the city full for several days.
At this moment, even if you are walking casually on the street, you can hear the noisy chatter. Many monks have even held secret meetings in private before this, each of them exchanged magic weapons in their hands. The atmosphere can be said to be at its peak.
At this time, in a secluded attic, Mu Linger and Mo Lao were sitting quietly, seemingly discussing something softly.
"Ling'er, it seems things are unpredictable. Tomorrow is the day when the trade fair will be held. Fellow Daoist Ye is currently wanted by the Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutianmen. It is estimated that he will not show up this time. You originally wanted to win over this person. The plan is ultimately difficult to implement.”
Mr. Mo stroked his long beard and put on a leisurely and comfortable smile.
"It's true that God is not as good as man. I originally wanted to recruit this person, but I never expected that he would provoke these two sects. I don't know if he is still alive now."
Mu Linger spread her hands, showing some regret.
It had to be said that even the most sophisticated plan would go unexpectedly wrong. It seemed that she had no chance of recruiting the monk named Ye this time.
"The three major sects of the North Meridian, the Qiankun Sword Sect and the Wutian Sect are the second largest. Only the Tianqi Sect can suppress it. It will be difficult for the boy to survive under the pursuit of these two sects, not to mention how many monks are jealous of the wanted list. The bounty may be in danger at this moment." Mr. Mo looked strange.
After a pause, he continued: "This boy is unruly by nature, and he is a master who does not want to live under others. At that time, I had a premonition that this person was likely to cause trouble in Bei Mei. Sure enough, in just a few months, 'Ye Xiaobao' These three words have spread throughout Hanging City. Even if he is still alive, recruiting him to the Mu family is still a hot potato. "
Mu Linger frowned.
After a while, she breathed out quietly, with an ugly look on her face, and said: "Mr. Mo is right, Ye Xiaobao has offended these two factions, we really can't extend an olive branch to him, otherwise we will be openly hostile to these two factions. , There is no need for the Mu family to offend these two powerful forces just because they meet each other by chance."
Hearing such an analysis, Mr. Mo nodded secretly. Mu Linger was always smart and could figure out the stakes.
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "It's best if you think so. Although the fellow Taoist named Ye is a talented person, he can't offend the Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Sect because of cherishing his talent. The only reason is that the boy is too Being too public and clamoring against the two major sects before you are fully fledged, isn’t this a dead end?”
In fact, Mr. Mo also admired Ye Xiaobao very much, but it was a pity that he could not be recruited into the Mu family.
Mu Ling'er's face showed a serious expression. After being silent for a long time, she frowned and said with some surprise: "I don't know why, but I always have a strange premonition that this person is probably still alive, and maybe the trading will start tomorrow." He will show up here later.”
"It's absolutely impossible. Now the Hanging City is full of informants from Wutianmen and Qiankun Sword Sect. His appearance here is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap. He will not be stupid enough to come and die."
Mr. Mo shook his head and thought Mu Linger's words were a joke.
Mu Ling'er smiled and didn't care, but what she said next made Mr. Mo a little stunned.
"This man has a deep mind, and his actions are unique. No one can guarantee what he will do. And as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Tomorrow, major merchants will jointly hold a trade fair, and many unparalleled treasures will appear. , If he wants to improve his strength and protect himself, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass him by.”
"Let's wait and see. If he dares to come here, it will prove that I am not wrong about the person."
Mu Ling'er pursed her lips slightly, and a cunning look flashed across her bright eyes.
