In the End, the Villain Does Not Understand Feelings

"died."

Xia Yin followed his senior brother to the side of the smiling scholar, and saw that this man who was still struggling and twitching just now had lost his voice at some point, his expression was completely distorted, full of pain and...surprise?

Obviously it wasn't suicide, otherwise he wouldn't have shown this expression.

But Xuanyuan can be sure that his kick just now was definitely not fatal, otherwise the smiling scholar would turn into a corpse in an instant, and it is impossible to struggle for so long.

But since it wasn't suicide, nor did it die at his hands, then it was—

"upstairs."

At the same time as Xia Yin's voice sounded, Xuan Yuan turned around and looked up, and saw a black shadow crawling there quietly. He probably didn't expect to be discovered so soon, so he was taken aback for a while.

But at this moment of stupefaction, a ray of sword energy pierced his legs, causing him to fall from the roof screaming!

"Ahh... Spare me, spare my life! I didn't kill you, I didn't kill people!"

The man fell down from upstairs to Xuanyuan and saw who it was. He raised his eyebrows a little surprised, but not too surprised.

At this time, Mu Jiu in the inn also sensed that something was wrong, and felt that it would not be a problem to just stand there, so she bravely walked out alone, just in time to see a person suddenly fell from the upstairs, and after a closer look, she was a little surprised and said : "The shopkeeper...?"

That's right, the suspicious person who fell from upstairs was the shopkeeper of this inn.

At first, he thought that he hid with the little girl after hearing the movement in the front and the backyard, but who would have thought that he would sneak up to the roof.

What is he going to do?

Liu Yan was a little puzzled, but Xuan Yuan didn't care about her approach, and said indifferently to the shopkeeper whose legs were broken and howled and couldn't stand up: "You said you didn't kill it?"

"Heroes, please forgive me. I really didn't kill this person. I just heard the movement behind me so I sneaked out to take a look. I..."

"Do you need to sneak up to the roof to take a peek? What's more, among the demon clan, the fox clan is said to be the most cunning. Your argument is too pale."

Fox family?

Hearing Xuanyuan's words, not only the shopkeeper was stunned, but even Mu Jiu was also stunned, and then desperately looked at the shopkeeper trying to see something.

Only Xia Yin was not surprised, after all, she had already noticed when she first arrived that the little girl had a very faint demonic aura.

Of course, that Xiao Er was indeed just an ordinary person, and the evil spirit on his body did not belong to him, but was contaminated unintentionally.And since the problem is not with Xiao Er, it can only be with the shopkeeper.

Although the shopkeeper is not a pure-bred monster, because the monster aura on his body is also very weak, and it can even become almost non-existent if he deliberately restrains himself.

But Yaozu is Yaozu, it may be okay to deceive others, but trying to hide it from Xia Yin and Xuanyuan's eyes is simply a joke.

But at this time when he was discovered, the shopkeeper's face was extremely ugly, but he still insisted on refuting: "I... I do have some demon blood, but this matter really has nothing to do with me, I am, I am... "

"When did I say that you killed people?"

"Uh……?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of bewilderment, and Mu Jiu also had a strange face. Only Xia Yin knew what her senior brother meant.

Because although the shopkeeper is a demon clan, his overall strength is not high, probably only at the level of the third-level spiritual gathering period. It is simply impossible for this kind of strength to kill people under the noses of the two of them.

So there is only one possibility.

"Could it be...the three people sent by the Blood Shadow Pavilion are not just the Smiling Scholar?"

Mu Jiu immediately realized the problem. The smiling scholar neither committed suicide nor was kicked to death by Xuan Yuan. If the shopkeeper was ruled out, then it could only be caused by other people.

But enough people appeared here overnight, and there is a high probability that no other forces will emerge, and if they are other forces, they shouldn't be the first to attack the smiling face book for no reason.

Then the person who took the opportunity to kill the smiling scholar could only be the people from the Blood Shadow Pavilion, their companions who had been hiding and didn't show up. Killing the smiling scholar decisively can also be interpreted as silence!

Probably because after seeing Xuanyuan's strength, he thought it was impossible to save him, and he didn't want to get too much information if he fell here, so he decisively killed him.

It is completely in line with the style of the killer of the Blood Shadow Pavilion, and also in line with the current situation.

But the question is, if there is such a guy who hides and doesn't show up, where is the other party now?

Mu Jiu looked around and tried to find the poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, but she found nothing after looking around, and finally her eyes fell on the shopkeeper---obviously suspecting that he was the one hiding killer.

But Xuanyuan didn't care about her suspiciousness at all, looking at Xia Yin, Xia Yin understood his look in seconds, but decided to ignore it.

Xuan Yuan was helpless, he wanted her to let the blood butterfly out to see if he died too, but there was no way to get a response, so he could only shake his head in the end.

"Don't look, it's not him. The person who really did it must have fled away."

Mu Jiu was stunned by Xuan Yuan's words, and finally realized that he still didn't know whether the two people in front of him were enemies or friends. Of course, because Xuan Yuan didn't show any malicious reason, he still cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Thank you senior for your help."

Although Xuanyuan and Xia Yin looked very young in appearance, the practice world was not a place that only looked at appearances, not to mention their appearances were not trustworthy, just because of what they did just now was enough to call them seniors.

Xuan Yuan naturally also saw the hidden uneasiness of the woman in front of him, so he waved his hands lightly and said: "I won't make it difficult for you, and then whether you believe it or not, what you lost has nothing to do with me, we are just passing by."

"Believe, believe, of course believe!"

Mu Jiu nodded vigorously, based on Xuan Yuan's ability to kill smiling scholars in an instant, they naturally believed everything they said.

As for whether the things in the carriage were taken by them... so what if it was true?Under the absolute strength and deterrence, one has to bow one's head. This is the reality of the practice world.

Seeing Mu Jiu's expression, Xuan Yuan could tell that she didn't believe her words at all, even though this matter really had nothing to do with him, she just opened her mouth and didn't explain too much in the end, because it's useless to say more at this time.

So Xuanyuan changed his voice, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what exactly is the stele of heaven that you just mentioned?"

Chapter 16 Chapter 163

A fight almost tore down the entire inn, but fortunately Xuanyuan made a timely move, avoiding the ending where a group of people could only sleep on the street.

Although the innkeeper kept yelling that he was innocent and was only accidentally injured by the onlookers, he was still tied up by Mu Jiu's men and thrown into the backyard.

After all, no one can prove that what he said is true or false, let alone he is a monster clan and has the blood of the fox clan.

It is already very suspicious that a monster race opened an inn in this kind of place for no reason, so no matter what he said is true or not, it is impossible to let him go easily.

As for the little second, he was also found, but he was stunned in the room by means of means, and he didn't wake up after a long time, and was finally locked up with the shopkeeper.

The people from the Yanyu building tried to find out something from the shopkeeper, but Xuanyuan didn't stop him from doing so. As for Xia Yin?She wasn't interested in it at all.

After the people on Mu Jiu's side sorted out the corpses and all kinds of messy things, and then set up strict defenses to guard against possible enemies that might still exist, in the rearranged room, Xuan Yuan and Xia Yin had already identified the identities of the group of people. And the reason for appearing here is completely clear.

Neither Mu Jiu nor the young landlord Liu Yan concealed this too much, mainly because they didn't dare.

After all, they have also seen the situation just now, Xuanyuan's strength is unfathomable to them, not to mention there is Xia Yin who is also invisible to them but instinctively feels more dangerous.

Although Xuanyuan has never shown any malice, who can say for sure that the world is dangerous?

To put it bluntly, the strange disappearance of the stele of the way of heaven is too suspicious. The people in Yanyulou suspected that it was secretly taken away by Xuan Yuan and Xia Yin, but they didn't dare to ask if they thought so, for fear of angering them and ending in a miserable end. .

Coupled with the fact that the Tiandao Stele has been taken away, there is nothing to say about the originally confidential information under such circumstances.

Misty Rain Building.

On the surface, it is the most famous jewelry store in the Dynasty. At the same time, it also takes care of a series of industries such as auction houses and antique shops, and has a little involvement in places such as Goulan Courtyard and casinos.

Behind the scenes is the largest intelligence gathering and selling organization in the dynasty. Their contacts are all over the world, and the business they handle covers from ordinary people to practitioners. At the same time, they also cooperate closely with many mortal forces and sects.

Strictly speaking, the Yanyu Tower is a force between the common people and the practice world. There are many practitioners inside, but there is also no lack of ordinary people without qualifications. The composition form is also unique in the entire practice world.

However, the overall strength of the Yanyu Building has not been weakened by this mixed composition. Everyone has a clear division of labor, and has a lot of high-end combat power. In addition, they have more or less connections with many great sects, so there are generally few people. will mess with them.

The cause of this incident happened about a month ago, and it started with a strange item received in the auction house of Yanyu Building.

Because in addition to auctioning ordinary items, the auction house in Yanyu Building also regularly holds auctions for practitioners, so it also accepts transactions of things such as spiritual objects and elixir, so there will always be people who sell various extraordinary items to Or they commission them for auction.

This time was no exception. The auction house met such a person who came to sell extraordinary things.

It wasn't a big deal at first, after all, there are many similar people every month, or those who are proficient in refining tools and alchemy want to come here to exchange for some money, or try to use this channel to sell things with unknown history.

In short, the auction house of Yanyu Building receives a lot of messy things every month, but generally speaking, the items collected, whether it is spiritual swords or spiritual medicines, are not of high grade.

After all, the really good things are not enough for others to use by themselves, and whoever sells them is not a last resort.

He also had this kind of thought, so the appraiser at the auction house didn't pay much attention at first, but then he found that he was slapped in the face because he couldn't see through that thing!

The people who came to sell things were ordinary people, but the things they hoped to entrust them to auction were absolutely extraordinary, even high-grade.

Although the appraisers at that time couldn't see through the thing, nor did they know its usefulness, but the faint ancient aura emanating from it made it easy to see at a glance.

Naturally, a small appraiser can't make up his mind about something of this value. Fortunately, the young landlord Liu Yan happened to be working there at the time, so this matter quickly reached her ears.

It's just that Liu Yan couldn't see what the thing was really useful for, but she also knew that it was extremely valuable and must not be missed, so in the end, after some discussion, she bought it directly from that person at a high price.

After buying it, on the one hand, she passed the information of the item to more professional people for identification, and on the other hand, she used the information network of Yanyu Building to investigate the seller.

When buying and selling, Liu Yan asked the other party many times where he got the thing from. The man said that it was passed down from his ancestors, but Liu Yan could easily see that he was lying.

But after investigation, it was found that this was the case, because the other party was just an ordinary person, after a follow-up investigation, within two days, all the information about the other party was placed in front of Liu Yan.

It was indeed just an ordinary person, but not so long ago, an extraordinary guy lived in his house, and the things sold to them came from that person.

The specific situation is also very simple to say. To put it bluntly, he once met a seriously injured and unconscious practitioner on his way home in the middle of the night. After he rescued the person, he had evil thoughts because of the things on the other person.

The final result is that the seriously injured practitioner was killed by a mortal in his sleep, and all the spirit stones and jade on him were sold by the other party.

And because that person likes to gamble, although he used the "inheritance" of that unlucky practitioner to get rich for a long time, he quickly squandered it all and owed a whole lot of debt.

In the end, he had no choice but to take out the things that seemed to be the most precious on the practitioner's body so they hadn't been touched, and prepared to sell them for money.

The next thing was naturally to find Yanyu Building, and then everything was investigated.

Of course, Yanyulou would not embarrass him because of this kind of thing, after all, the practitioner was not related to them, and he could only consider himself unlucky if he died at the hands of a gambler.

After the matter was found out, Liu Yan just sent someone to dig out the practitioner's body, trying to dig out more things from him that ordinary people couldn't see.

At the same time, the other side also made progress. The thing that the gambler sold them was probably a 'map', corresponding to a certain undiscovered relic!

Chapter 17 Chapter 164 Ancient Ruins

The history of the practice world is actually very long, so long that no one can tell how far it is, but since the war between immortals and demons, the past history has become blurred, and even a huge fault has appeared.

It is also after the Great War between Immortal and Demon that no one can become an immortal anymore, and even immortals have become a kind of legend.

Some people say that it was because the battle between immortals and demons interrupted the immortal veins and exhausted the chances of becoming immortals.

Some people also say that immortals still exist, but they just went to the legendary fairy world, and they also took away the way to become immortals.

There are different opinions on the real reason, and there is no conclusion.

However, it is recognized that the practice world before the Great War of Immortals and Demons was more prosperous and powerful. Even if the former immortals disappeared for some reason, the traces of their existence in this world are not so easily completely erased.
