[System] Eight Wilderness Returns

Wujian Villa is located on the outskirts of Jiangling City, with the Yangtze River in the south and the official road in the north. It not only has convenient transportation, but also has a great status and reputation in the rivers and lakes.

At that time, the sky was just dawning, and the early morning was always humid and cool, but when the sun just rose from the horizon, the maids and servants of Wujian Villa began to get busy.

The maid stood quietly in front of the owner's bedroom with a washbasin in her hand for a long while. According to the old owner's routine, she should have gotten up to wash up by now. The summons, could not help giving birth to a somewhat ominous premonition.The servant girl bravely approached the door a lot, faintly aware of the slight smell of blood coming from the door, couldn't help being startled, summoned up the courage to push the door open...

A corpse lying in a pool of blood suddenly came into view!

"what--!!!"

The news of the death of the owner of Wujian Villa, Gongsun, plunged the entire rivers and lakes into a bloody storm in an instant.The owner of Gongsun Village is not the first celebrity in the world to die in a strange way in recent times. Zhong Yunsu, the elder of the Wudang School, Jiang Jinqiu, the successor of Qiushui Sword, Wang Zeliu, the knight from Shushan, Yunjingshan, the protector of the Demon Cult, and Gongsun Nan, the owner of the Wujian Villa, everyone. They are all masters of swordsmanship, everyone's name is said, the whole Jianghu will tremble, but now these few people are all killed, the wounds are exactly the same, they are extremely sharp and lingering sword wounds.

In Jianghu, there are not many people with such swordsmanship, and various evidences show that the murderer is most likely to be Chu Ni, Chu Daochang, who only became famous in the world a few years ago.

All of a sudden, the turmoil in the rivers and lakes rose again, and I don't know how many turbulent waves have been set off, and the name of Chu Ni has become more and more a name that everyone in the rivers and lakes is talking about.

As early as 20 years ago, a similar incident happened in Jianghu. In that year, ten sword masters died in Jianghu, all of them were killed by one move. His vendetta challenged all the masters in the rivers and lakes, and finally retreated to the mountains under the pressure of the combination of good and evil.

Those masters who joined forces to fight against the sword madman back then have either gone to the west, or have grown old and gray. After the sword madman came back out of the rivers and lakes, few people can resist his sword.But now, everyone said that Chu Ni would be the second sword madman, the second person who brought disaster to the world.

Those who once praised Chu Ni's swordsmanship as comparable to sword madness have long been silent, sighing that they have misjudged the person.

At this time, the rumored protagonist, Chu Ni, was leading Gu Xichao in a restaurant in Jiangling City, listening coldly to the gossip evaluations of people in the rivers and lakes.Some people say that he is a scum of the rivers and lakes, and everyone gets rid of him before he can. Some people say that no matter how powerful his sword is, he is just a junior. It is impossible for him to kill several respected seniors so easily by himself. If you meet Chu Ni, you must do justice for the sky and kill him to clear the rivers and lakes.

And soon the restaurant became noisy.Several young people who looked like they were just fledgling were on edge because of the quarrel, and it seemed that they were about to fight.

Chu Ni and Gu Xichao sat in a secluded corner upstairs, they could see the situation below clearly, and they were not easily disturbed by others. Seeing that the downstairs seemed to be fighting, they turned their heads to Gu Xichao Said: "Go down and teach that man in the navy blue robe a lesson."

The young man in the navy blue robe was the one who had just said that he would kill Chu Ni for the sake of heaven.

After Gu Xichao took the order, he jumped directly from the upstairs. At that time, the man in the navy blue robe was fighting with another young man and had a slight upper hand. Just as he was so proud of himself, he wanted to give him a head-on blow. While striking hard, a sword suddenly plunged into the ground in front of his feet, causing his advancing body to take a few steps back involuntarily.

"Who?" The man in the navy blue robe shuddered, turned his head to look in the direction where the sword flew, but saw that it was just a young man, his heart became more stable, and his anger flooded up again. He said coldly, "You are a little child, I advise you not to meddle in my affairs!"

Although Gu Xichao is young, he already has the unrestrained and unrestrained demeanor of a literati. He jumped up in front of a man in a navy blue robe and drew back his long sword, and said with a smile, "You are a masculine man, are you still afraid?" Am I a child?"

"Who's scared?" The man in the navy blue robe blushed and said angrily, "I just don't want to bully a child. Since you don't know what to do, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson for your parents and teachers!"

"Oh?" Gu Xichao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I should be the one who taught you a lesson for your parents and teachers, but I don't know which small sect taught you such a ignorant disciple."

The man in the navy blue robe was suddenly furious, and he directly raised his sword and slashed at the boy in front of him, regardless of how much older he was.Gu Xichao, on the other hand, dodged his attacks one by one in a calm manner, and then counterattacked with ease.

"You can't hold the sword firmly on your wrist." The right hand tapped on the wrist of the man in the navy blue robe, and the long sword dropped to the ground.

"The shooting speed is too slow." The hilt of the sword moved forward casually, hitting the chest of the man in the navy blue robe, knocking him back a few steps.

"The foot is not stable." Turning his foot and sweeping lightly, he kicked the heel of the man in the navy blue robe, causing him to fall to the ground in a kneeling position.

Gu Xichao knelt down in front of him, tapped his head with his hand, and said, "How is it? Am I teaching you much better than your parents and teachers?"

The man was beaten until his eyes were filled with gold stars, and if he dared to quarrel with Gu Xichao again, he could only endure the pain all over his body and begged for mercy: "Hero, please forgive me. It's the villain who has eyes but no eyes. I don't know what a hero is capable of. I beg the hero to let the villain go." .”

Gu Xichao chuckled, and was about to turn around and ask Chu Ni what to do with him, when he saw a sword light coming from Chu Ni's direction, and before everyone could react, a man in a navy blue robe appeared at the throat There was a sword mark, and the blood flowed to the ground, and the man's glasses were about to protrude, as if he couldn't even die with regret.

There were exclamations one after another in the restaurant, and Gu Xi subconsciously looked in Chu Ni's direction, but Chu Ni said coldly: "This kind of person should be killed."

There was an uproar.

This restaurant is crowded with people, and it is a place where many people from the rivers and lakes gather. Usually, fights and murders are commonplace, but it does not cause any panic.However, the dispute between Gu Xichao and the man in the navy blue robe was watched by everyone as if they were watching the excitement. The man in the navy blue robe spoke rudely, and his words and deeds really made others sigh, so Gu Xichao just took action to teach him a lesson for a while. They were also applauding, but no one would have thought that Chu Ni would directly see blood seal his throat when he made a move. Such a thunderous behavior shocked the others.

A few chivalrous men were filled with righteous indignation for a moment, and saw that although Chu Ni was wearing Taoist robes, he was quite good-looking, and he did not look like a master of martial arts. , but the Taoist priest has already taught this child a lesson, so why bother to kill them all, just committing crimes."

"Killing?" Chu Ni gave the big man a funny look, and said, "I'm afraid of killing, it's just that he wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead."

The big man frowned and said: "He just said a few wrong words, and he never wanted to attack the Taoist priest. Why did he want to kill you... wait...!"

The big man seemed to have thought of something, straightened up in shock, even overturned the bench, pointed at Chu Ni and said, "You...you are Chu Ni?!"

As soon as this remark came out, the restaurant immediately boiled like boiling water, and many people began to whisper to each other, and some people were curious to see what kind of person the rumored bloody storm was like.

And Chu Ni lost the interest to continue staying in the restaurant, so he cast a sidelong glance at Gu Xichao, and slowly left the restaurant, Gu Xichao naturally followed closely.

The two people, one big and one small, left the street slowly, and none of the people in the restaurant, including the big man who made the noise just now, dared to step forward to stop them!

"Chu Taoist... They all said that you killed the owner of Wujian Villa, why didn't you clarify?"

Chu Ni sneered and said, "How can I clarify? Gongsun Nan died strangely. That sharp sword wound was another one-hit death. Not to mention that Gongsun Nan is a well-known master in the world, it is this sword wound that can be used by people in the world." There are only a handful of them, not to mention that I happened to appear in Jiangling. Could it be that if I say that this is just a coincidence, that I didn’t kill it, others will believe it? Let others laugh at me for my unreasonable words."

"However, there are also Wudang elder Zhong Yunsu, Qiushui sword descendant Jiang Jinqiu, Shushan knight Wang Zeliu, and demon guardian Yunjingshan...The deaths of these people have nothing to do with the Taoist priest, but all the people in the world have framed the Taoist priest. Go on... I'm afraid the rumors about Daoist Priest in Jianghu will be even worse."

"There are so many ignorant people in the world." Chu Ni said, "Smart people don't jump to conclusions based on just a few words, but ignorant people... what should I care about? Whether they misunderstood or slandered Forget it, after all, I can't survive a single move under my sword, so what I say is not worth mentioning."

"Then... why don't you just let this matter go?"

Chu Ni thought for a while, and said: "There is something strange behind this incident. It is obviously aimed at me, but I don't know who made such a big deal, and even those few people took it out as chess pieces. And the people behind it , You must know my whereabouts like the back of your hand, otherwise there will be murders wherever I go."

Gu Xichao frowned, and said: "But this time the Taoist priest is going out as he pleases, there is no fixed route."

After saying that, Gu Xichao was startled suddenly, bowed slightly to Chu Ni, and said: "Although Xichao is with the Taoist priest, I dare to swear that I have never revealed the whereabouts of the Taoist priest to anyone!"

"Oaths are just a matter of listening, and you can't take it seriously." Chu Ni waved his hand and said, "I naturally know that this has nothing to do with you. Since this matter is aimed at me, if they have the heart, they may not be able to do so." Check out my whereabouts."

"But……"

Gu Xichao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Ni: "What the world thinks of me has nothing to do with me, Xi Chao, you remember, the world is vulgar, only the power in your hands is eternal." Chu Ni said, While walking forward, the figure gradually disappeared into the distance, "The so-called chivalrous reputation, compared with the long sword in my hand, heh..."

"Not worth mentioning."
