Star Trace Gate

On the quiet path, Xu Bangzi once again circulated the power of the star source throughout his body. After confirming that there was no problem, he spoke: "You kept the secret for me and gave me the antidote, and I saved you and sent you here. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait." Ren also shouted.

"What's wrong again?" Xu Bangzi turned around.

Ren Ye looked at his expression and asked with a smile: "It seems that we are even now, but why did you tell us the secret of the Xishan Taoist Temple before you left?"

Xu Bangzi blinked.

"At this point, even a fool can see that this final battle is nothing more than a fight for the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo." Ren Ye said, "You told us this secret, let us investigate, and then slowly approach some kind of truth... Could it be that you don't have confidence in the final fight? Do you want us to discover something so that we can fight with others first, and then you can sit back and reap the benefits and fish in troubled waters?"

After being confused for a long time, Xu Bangzi shook his head helplessly and said, "The old man is right. People who are shameless enough must have enough intelligence to support them. Alas, everything is about balance. These three close friends around you are so stupid that they drool. It is indeed time for someone with a brain to lead the way."

"If you want to praise him, praise him. Why are you scolding me?!" Old Liu cursed, "It's the fucking Republic of China now, and you're still praising one and scolding the others?"

"Thousand Machine Fluid!" A Pu broke through the defense and didn't waste any words.

"Oh, you are such a boaster. Look at the sword!"

"Grow up, grow up." Ren Ye pulled three teammates and looked up at Xu Bangzi: "What I want to say is that we are friends who know each other well. In the absence of a life-and-death conflict, we are more trustworthy than anyone else. Just now, I could have not given you the antidote, right?"

"brush!"

Xu Bangzi disappeared without a warning, and a voice came from the empty forest: "You and I should first find a way to survive. Today, you have offended Master Gao, and the other five families may not tolerate you. The position cannot be changed... You only have one way to go."

"This guy is a bit weird and has big ambitions," Old Liu commented.

"That's for sure, otherwise there would be no need for him to stay in the Gao family." Ren Ye replied.

"Let's not talk about this and that for now. Gao Jiansheng also knows this place. It's not advisable to stay here for long." A Bodhi woke up and said, "We have to leave quickly."

"Walk?"

Ren also raised an eyebrow, "No, you can't leave."

"why?"

"Let's hide in the dense forest on the east side of the path." Ren Ye urged, "Hurry."

"Listen to him." Xu Qingzhao responded first, then nimbly dived into the woods on the left.

In just a few breaths, the four Voldemorts hid in the dense forest in the mountains and secretly observed the path.

While waiting, Ren Ye whispered to Lao Liu, "You just said that you saw the scene from 20 years ago?"

"Correct."

"Tell me in detail, the more detailed the better." Ren Ye replied.

"It all started from the bridal chamber..." Old Liu was a thick-skinned man who seemed to have forgotten his current situation. He actually described his experience today to Ren Ye in vivid detail.

The four of them hid for less than five minutes when they suddenly heard a sound of breaking air in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

A figure glided in the air for nearly fifty meters before landing with his right foot, stomping hard, and bouncing into the air again.

After four consecutive jumps, he had passed by Ren Ye and others and rushed into the path.

A Pu looked at the figure with a look of astonishment: "Did I see it wrong? The one who just flew away was... the Night Wanderer?"

"You are not mistaken, that is the Night Wanderer." Xu Qingzhao replied.

"But...but why would it chase us?" A Pu murmured in disbelief.

Beside him, Lao Liu was also confused. He turned to look at Ren Ye and asked, "Damn, how did you know that the Night Wanderer would catch up?"

"No, I was just on guard against Old Gao." Ren Ye frowned and replied, "This path was told to Xu Bangzi by Gao Jiansheng. We have been making a fuss in Gao's house for a while. I was afraid that if I entered the path, there would be nowhere to hide. Moreover, Qijia Town has been in turmoil recently. Master Gao might have been on guard here, so I played a trick of hiding from the public. But I didn't expect... the Night Wanderer would come first."

"Whoosh!"

Just as he finished speaking, a sound of breaking air was heard again from the dense forest in the direction of Angry Village.

"Is it someone from the Gao family?" Ren was stunned for a moment, then immediately held his breath and watched intently.

However, what happened next made all four people present have their hair stand on end and stare in amazement.

They actually saw that the person jumping out of the dense forest was a man wearing a black robe with skin glowing silver - a Night Walker.

“What the hell?!” Old Liu was extremely shocked and said, “There are two… two night wanderers?”

Even Ren Ye, who was always good at deduction and calculation, was confused for a long time after seeing the second Night Wanderer appear: "This... There can actually be two of this thing?"

For a moment, he stood there in a daze, and instinctively recalled the Night Wanderers' attack and murder incident when he first entered the "Sin" star gate.

At that time, players from several villages were wiped out by the Night Patrol, causing panic among the people. Later, Lao Qu and Yu Weifeng took the lead and invited Grandpa Jiang to take charge of the situation and let the players form a night patrol team.

Afterwards, the Night Wanderer did not take action for a long time.

However, Ren was also puzzled by this, because at that time the intercommunication rules of the seven villages had not been cancelled. Only after 8-10 pm could one take the ferry to other villages.

The night roamers kept killing people in various villages, which was almost compressed to the extreme in terms of time. It was equivalent to either killing people or on the way to killing people.

Even Ren had suspected that the Night Wanderer, who was the embodiment of the Heavenly Rules, did not have to abide by the rules of communication and might be able to teleport instantly.

But now it seems that the reason why the nightwalkers can roam around the seven villages and commit crimes is not because of the good roads, but because they are a pair of "twins"? They may commit crimes separately.

This discovery made Ren Ye and others' hair stand on end.

Two night wanderers appeared at the same time and chased into the path with a clear purpose. The motive for this behavior was too obvious.

They chased after them, intending to annihilate the four people from Qingliang Mansion.

"Someone wants to kill us!" Lao Liu whispered, "Is it a mad dog?"

Ren Ye suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "The fact that they can appear here just proves that Mad Dog...maybe was wrongly accused. Let me ask you, where was the last place Mad Dog appeared?"

Old Liu was stunned: "I know, I know."

"Mad Dog was last seen at the dock, where he had a fight with Yu Weifeng. Many people saw it." Ren Ye whispered, "If Mad Dog and Night Wanderer were accomplices, why would he run to the dock? Wouldn't it be better to escape from the Wrathful Village from here?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." A Pu nodded immediately: "That's the truth."

"Two Night Wanderers." Ren Ye felt his head buzzing. "There are too many people secretly making moves in this Star Gate. If Mad Dog is really wronged, then it means... the Night Wanderers' accomplices are in the Gao family of the Wrathful Village. Moreover, I have a bold guess."

"How bold?" asked Lao Liu.

"Old Qu, he's very suspicious." Xu Qingzhao suddenly interrupted, "Xu Bangzi said that an outsider got the inheritance of Xishan Taoist Temple, and the wine, peanuts, and dried tofu we saw were also seen on Old Qu."

"Yes, yes, I saw it." Old Liu nodded.

"That's right. Mad Dog was probably framed, and Old Qu was secretly doing something and wanted to kill us. It was almost impossible for a Night Wanderer to kill the four of us, so he found two." A Pu frowned and said, "But why did he target us? We haven't offended him, have we?"

"Competitive relationship." Ren Ye replied: "It is no exaggeration to say that the combined strength of our team is a threat that cannot be ignored by any group. For someone who wants to achieve his goal and will do anything to achieve it, it is very necessary to start clearing obstacles now."

"Hmm." A Pu frowned and said, "He can control two Night Walkers. This is also very difficult for us. This thing is too difficult to deal with."

"Yes, the Night Wanderer is the embodiment of the laws of nature, but it can control two. Damn, this loses the balance." Old Liu was also dissatisfied.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. There must be a reason why the Star Gate is set up this way." Ren Ye waved his hand and said, "Let's continue to wait and avoid all risks. Let's rescue Tang Feng first."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Lao Liu: "Go on and tell me what happened twenty years ago."

"Fuck, at such a tense moment, you still have the heart to listen to the story?!"

"Don't waste any more time, hurry up." Ren Ye urged.

In this way, the four people hid in the dense forest and did not leave.

Ren Ye listened to Lao Liu telling stories while gazing around.

About ten minutes later, the two night wanderers returned together, turned their heads to glance around, and quickly rushed towards the Angry Village.

However, after they left, Ren still did not take everyone away, but continued to wait.

Another seven or eight minutes later, the two night wanderers made a surprise attack again and rushed into the path to search, but still found nothing.

Around early morning, they ran out again and headed towards the Angry Village.

Ren Ye then slowly stood up: "You can leave now."

The three followed closely and entered the mountain path with him.

As they hurried on, A Pu asked softly, "After we enter the Lust Village, should we leave quickly?"

"No, Lao Liu just finished telling me what happened 20 years ago." Ren Ye frowned and said, "I finally know why I told the wrong story last time. I fell into a misconception. Now I need to confirm a clue again when I return to the Desire Village. If I guess correctly, I can even accurately find out the truth that Shen Yuan said."

"I just like to see you bragging and then getting slapped in the face." Old Liu curled his lips.

As they communicated with each other, they quickened their pace.

……

In the hut at the dock in Fury Village.

Wang Shoucai sat in the main seat, with Zhou Bo, Pang An, Zhang Lu, and Guo Litao on his left and right.

The five heads of the five villages all rushed here, and there were thousands of thugs on standby outside the Furious Village.

This was a negotiation that was almost forced upon Gao Jiansheng. And it all started because Wang Shoucai's daughter was killed and the Nine-bend Blue Cloud Bamboo in the Dragon Vault was lost.

At the long table, the five big guys all looked solemn and remained silent.

On the contrary, Gao Jiansheng, who was facing the joint pressure of five people, seemed very relaxed at the moment. He held his chin with his right hand and said to the housekeeper Liu who came to report: "You looked for them, but didn't find Liu Daji and the others?"

"Yes, we dispatched more than 200 people to search, but found no trace of these people. And they didn't come to the dock either, as if they knew you were here." Butler Liu replied.

Gao Jiansheng thought for a long time, then frowned and said, "I roughly know where they ran away from. No need to look for them. Let the word go out. Anyone who can find information about these four people will be rewarded handsomely."

"Yes!" Butler Liu replied and left in a hurry.

The room returned to silence. After Wang Shoucai was silent for a while, he looked at Gao Jiansheng with bloodshot eyes: "You stole my treasure and killed my beloved daughter. Gao Jiansheng, the hatred between you and me will never be resolved unless one of us dies."

Gao Jiansheng put his hands on his chest, his face calm, and did not reply.

"All five of my families are here today with only two requests." Wang Shoucai continued with a grim expression, "First, hand over Shen Yuan and the thugs who stole in my house. Second, if you, Gao Jiansheng, commit suicide here, the hatred between us will be resolved."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Pang An, Zhang Lu, Zhou Bo, Guo Litao and others.

Sitting in the second seat, Pang An smoked a cigarette and sneered, "Haha, Lao Gao, it's not appropriate for us to get involved in the feud between you and Lao Wang. But... I heard a rumor that sounds pretty good in the past few years, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"What rumor?" Gao Jiansheng asked back.

"Some people say that you and Shen Jishi are related, and you are Yin Wan'er's aunt's cousin, is that right?" Pang An asked bluntly.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Bo and Zhang Lu both looked at Gao Jiansheng with gloomy eyes.

Gao Jiansheng was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and admitted frankly: "It's true, Yin Wan'er and I are cousins."

When everyone heard this, their faces became even uglier, and even contained obvious hatred.

Zhang Lu pondered for a while, with complex emotions in his eyes: "So, Lao Wang's guess is absolutely correct. At the beginning, we dug deep into the ground but couldn't find Shen Yuan. Did you secretly rescue him? Were you forced to participate in the bloody massacre of the Desire Village? Haha, you have endured humiliation for so many years, it's really hard for you."

"There's nothing to say about this. What Lao Wang means is what I mean." Pang An replied.

Zhou Bo thought again and again: "Me too."

Gao Jiansheng smiled, looked at them and asked, "Not only do you want me to hand over someone, you also want me to commit suicide. Why are you so confident?"

Wang Shoucai took over the conversation and looked him straight in the eyes: "Confidence comes from strength. If you disagree, the five families will attack the Wrathful Village tonight and repeat the bloody night of that year."

"Ha ha!"

Gao Jiansheng stood up with a smile and walked towards Wang Shoucai.

Wang Shoucai remained motionless, staring at him coldly: "Either you die alone, or your whole family dies."

Gao Jiansheng looked at his confident expression, slowly bent down, pointed his finger at his nose and asked, "Third brother, there is something. Don't you find it strange?"

Wang Shoucai did not respond.

"When you had your birthday, the Zhou family went, the Pang family went, the Zhang family went, and even I sent people to go." Gao Jiansheng paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Guo Litao: "But why didn't he send anyone?"

When Wang Shoucai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the others also looked at Guo Litao.

Gao Jiansheng looked at Wang Shoucai with a teasing look, and said word by word: "Why, you said so much, but he didn't say a word?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

"You always think you're smart and treat others as fools. You want to use the fact that Yin Wan'er and I are cousins ​​to win over everyone and eat up my Gao family." Gao Jiansheng tapped Wang Shoucai's nose: "But do you really know why the bloody night happened 20 years ago? Do you think I was forced to participate in the massacre? Haha, let me tell you, in fact, I want Shen Jishi's family to die more than anyone else... Even if you betray me, I will never betray you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Litao raised his head and looked at Gao Jiansheng with hatred: "Although he deserves to die, he is right. We did it for money during that bloody night, but he just wanted to kill people, to kill everyone in the Shen family."
