The clear sky after the rain will always look extraordinarily clean. A round of bright moon hangs in the middle of the sky like a hook.

A figure stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up, his face was illuminated by the moonlight, it was Mingxiao.

Ming Xiao first took a leisurely look at the surrounding scenery, and praised: "It is worthy of being a famous peak through the ages." After finishing speaking, he raised his breath, and without the need for a sword, his whole body was like a wandering spirit flying catkins, Flying up, he volleyed towards one of the mountain peaks.

After climbing to the top, he looked around and entered a bamboo forest, took out a stick of incense from his sleeve, lit it, inserted it into the ground, and waited quietly with his hands behind his back.

Not long after, someone entered the bamboo forest, and Ming Xiao heard a voice behind him asking hesitantly, "Jiang Rong?"

He turned around, smiled slightly, and said, "Sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

The person who came was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a beard under his chin, and a serious appearance. He was Lu Zhang, the head of the Qizong Xingtang of the Lingxiao School, and he was famous for his integrity.

But for such a person to appear in such a place in the middle of the night because of a stick of incense, it is already very self-explanatory.

Seeing the strange appearance of the young man in front of him, Lu Zhang was startled for a moment, then immediately became vigilant, lowered his face and asked, "Who are you? Why are you on my Lingxiao Mountain? Tell me quickly! If your words are incomplete or false Be careful, I'm impolite!"

Ming Xiao didn't feel nervous at all, shook his head and said: "Master Lu, don't shout. You and I have done a lot of shameful things, and we are all like-minded people. Why are you so unfriendly? I am for you A letter came."

Lu Zhang's face changed slightly, and he said gloomyly, "What letter did you report?"

Ming Xiao said: "Jiang Rong is dead."

Lu Zhang showed a slight look of astonishment at first, then sneered, and said: "An unfaithful and unfilial thing is full of disgrace to the sect. It should have been dealt with by the sect rules long ago. If you die, you will die. What is your relationship with him?" ? I want you to report!"

Ming Xiao stared at him, and saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, so the smile on his face deepened, and he said, "It doesn't matter, but I know all his secrets. For example... Hall Master Lu In order to find a way to live forever, I took some drugs that are not very recognized in the sect."

Lu Zhang originally suspected that Mingxiao was defrauding him, but he was startled when he heard this, and finally believed him, and at the same time cursed Jiang Rong in his heart.

Strange to say, as the head of the punishment hall, Lu Zhang has always acted upright, and never treated any disciple in the sect differently in the past, but ever since Jiang Rong came to the Lingxiao sect, he felt that this person said nothing differently. A line is very much appreciated by myself.

Coupled with Jiang Rong's intention to cater to him, Lu Zhang really treats this kid very well.

He didn't expect that he would miss it so much.

After the sword test meeting, what Jiang Rong did was completely exposed in front of everyone, and was quickly passed on to the sect, which shocked everyone who did not come to the scene, and made Lu Zhang feel that Very annoyed.

Looking at it now, it's okay for Jiang Rong to be useless and vicious, and he even casually tells others about himself, it's really hard to remember even after he's dead.

Lu Zhang looked at Ming Xiao coldly, and said, "You came here to tell me this, because you want to coerce me into something? Make a condition."

Ming Xiao said: "This can't be called coercion, it's just conspiracy. I know that Hall Master Lu always hoped that Jiang Rong would become the next head of the Ling Xiao Sect, and you can also take this opportunity to gain power. I It's the same as yours."

Lu Zhang laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Where did you come from, do you also want to be the head of the Lingxiao sect?"

Ming Xiao said: "Hall Master Lu thinks about this being the head and that being the head every day, and he wholeheartedly wants to help others get to the top. It's really great. But don't you have that much confidence in yourself?"

He stared at Lu Zhang closely: "I said, I just want to support a master of the air sect, and then add a backing for myself."

Lu Zhang smiled slightly, and his mood was a little complicated.

The Lingxiao faction is the number one faction in the way of swordsmanship. Although after two points, they continued to fight among themselves and their strength is not as good as before, but after years of accumulation, it is still not to be underestimated. If there is such an opportunity, how can he not be tempted?

But the punishment hall has always been in charge of enforcing the law, and there has never been a precedent for the head to come from here. Lu Zhang saw that Jiang Rong was He Zizhuo's personal disciple, who was well-loved and talented, so he put the treasure on him. But he didn't expect that it turned out to be a bad move, which put himself in danger instead.

Lu Zhang thought this way in his heart, and when facing Ming Xiao, he said: "The rules of the Lingxiao School in the past dynasties, there has never been a reason for someone from the Xingtang to take over as the head. I have a good eye for Jiang Rong because I think he is an important person. Future juniors are expected to regain the popularity of the Lingxiao Sect and restore their former reputation, if you use this to tempt me, it will be too boring."

Ming Xiao smiled, and said: "Master Lu, you are still so stubborn after being caught by me, do you want to kill someone to silence you?"

Lu Zhang paused.

Ming Xiao said: "Oh, it's true that I know some things, but to remind you, I'm not sure whether Jiang Rong has told He Zizhuo what he knows. After all, after his incident, but He has been interrogated for several rounds alone by Sect Leader He."

Lu Zhang did have this intention, but he didn't expect Jiang Rong's evil spirit to show up again, and his face suddenly changed.

He is far more than the only person Jiang Rong colluded with in his daily life. If this is the case, I am afraid that as soon as He Zizhuo returns to the mountain, he will completely reorganize the forces of the Lingxiao faction. It's going to be bad luck.

Then when that time comes, it will be someone else if not him.

All kinds of thoughts in his mind were intertwined, and he couldn't help being very confused. Finally, he sighed and asked Mingxiao: "What do you want? Support me to be the leader, and make the Lingxiao faction your puppet?"

Ming Xiao smiled and said: "That's not the case. Two conditions, first, I want He Zizhuo; second, I'm short of people recently, and I want to use the power of the Lingxiao faction to do something until my big business is done , we don’t offend the river, it’s up to you how you want to be the head.”

Lu Zhang couldn't speak for a while, his mind was full of thoughts, thinking about the consequences of his past actions after being known by He Zizhuo, and thinking about the fate of traitors in the past generations, it was really difficult to decide.

Ming Xiao's words sound good, but his actions are clearly intended to provoke civil strife in the Ling Xiao faction, but he knows it clearly, but he really can't refuse.

Ming Xiao said: "I'll give you one night to think about it. After one night...it's not that I'm not tolerant. Those who turned back to Lingxiao Mountain are getting closer to you."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhang watched helplessly as his figure gradually faded, and then disappeared into the air in front of him.

This person has a mysterious origin and sinister intentions, even people can't see through whether he is a man or a ghost, so what the hell is he?

Three days later, the disciples who went to participate in the sword test meeting finally arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, and all of them were almost moved to tears.

After walking all the way back, they were hot and tired, and the most deadly thing was that they didn't stop in the middle of the journey, and they were constantly harassed by various monsters.

Different from the Fox Clan's mentality of just going to have a look and have fun, the Ling Xiao faction, as a great kendo sect, attaches great importance to the sword test conference. Weak, maybe next time there will be a chance to formally participate in the competition.

With so many sect elites gathered together, and with He Zizhuo personally accompanying them, the attack of monsters did not cause too serious losses except for exhausting them.

It's just that Jiang Wei died inexplicably on the way, but the murderer was not found, which is puzzling. All kinds of strange things happened together, and they cast a faint haze on people's hearts.

Fortunately, after working hard all the way, they finally came back, and everyone was relieved.

Two disciples stepped forward and released the restriction on the mountain gate. One of them turned around and said with a smile: "It's better to go home. Why do I feel that even the air in Lingxiao Mountain is a bit cleaner than other places. Master, please..."

He originally wanted to invite He Zizhuo to go up the mountain, but at this moment, He Zizhuo's eyes sharpened, but he suddenly shouted: "Get away!"

The disciple was stunned, and before he could do what He Zizhuo said, a white light flew out from the mountain gate and penetrated his heart instantly.

The smile on the disciple's face froze, a huge blood hole was opened in his chest, and his whole body rolled down the steps, dying on the spot.

Seeing this scene, there was a brief blank in everyone's mind, and it was unbelievable for a while.

It's all right for them to be worried along the way, but this is at the mountain gate of the Lingxiao faction, under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could they encounter such an attack?

"It's a magic circle!"

He Zizhuo lifted his breath, and the whole person had already arrived in front of the mountain gate. He waved and pushed another startled disciple behind him, and shouted loudly: "Everyone stabilizes their minds, embraces the original and guards the one, and forms a demon-subduing formation. , against it!"

They were harassed by demonic beasts along the way, and they had been guarding against demonic attacks. At this moment, He Zizhuo's first reaction was that the other party saw the demonic beasts.

Anyone who dared to provoke at the gate of Lingxiao Mountain must have come prepared.

Hearing He Zizhuo's words, the startled disciples woke up like a dream, and immediately prepared to form a formation.

They were well-trained and moved very quickly. Seeing that the subduing demon formation was about to be formed, at this moment, the ground under their feet suddenly churned, and countless holes were split open.

From the cracks in the ground, hands made of mud stretched out, grabbing the ankles of the disciples, preventing them from forming a formation.

I saw that apart from the hands, the head, neck, and torso gradually grew out of the crack...

At this time, someone realized it and said loudly: "Cut them off quickly, and don't let these things grow, it will be troublesome!"

During the fight between the two sides, He Zizhuo had already drawn out his sword, and a beam of sword energy pierced through the clouds into the night, sending a warning signal to Lingxiao Mountain.

At the same time, he poured spiritual power into the sword, and the light on the sword flashed, and gradually there seemed to be waves rippling. Immediately, several water dragons flew across the sky, and when they opened their mouths, there was the sound of thunder, and the strong wind rolled up the torrential rain Then, in a blink of an eye, the soil on the ground was soaked into mud that could no longer be condensed.

Everyone took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement and rushed towards the mountain gate.

But at this moment, a bolt of lightning hit the crack in the ground, and the whole mountain trembled suddenly.

Immediately, amidst the loud bang, the ground suddenly parted into a huge abyss, and black air burst out from the abyss, wrapping around He Zizhuo's body, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, and pulled him down!

"Sect Master! Sect Master!"

The disciples were shocked when they saw this, and they all exclaimed, and they wanted to turn back to rescue, but the abyss closed up again in a blink of an eye, and there was no trace of it anymore.

"What the hell is going on!"

Someone finally couldn't bear it anymore, and broke down: "This is at the mountain gate of the Lingxiao faction, the demons...the demons are too arrogant!"

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. With our strength, it is impossible to rescue."

Ge Nan collected himself, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is no small matter, everyone hurry up to the mountain and report the situation here to the elders."

When Ling Xiao sent something to happen, Shu Lingjia was sitting in Qingqiu eating.

There was a table full of good dishes in front of him, enough for at least ten people.

There were only him and Ming Qi at the table, and Ming Qi didn't eat, she sat across the table and looked at him with her chin resting, chatting with Shu Lingjia casually from time to time, or bringing him some food.

It's been a long time since Shu Lingjia sat at the table and had a peaceful meal. It's okay for him to have a couple of snacks occasionally while drinking, but he's actually not very interested in food.

But these dishes were cooked by Mingqi herself in order to thank him for escorting the fox family back to Qingqiu, but Shu Lingjia was disrespectful, so she had no choice but to accept the kindness.

What he didn't expect was that Ming Qi's craftsmanship was really good, and it suited his taste.

Shu Lingjia was thinking that Jing Feitong was still waiting for him, so after finishing the meal, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and was about to bid farewell to Ming Qi, but when he looked up, he saw that the other party was staring at him in a daze.

Shu Lingjia was slightly taken aback.

Ming Qi's eyes seemed to be looking at him, and also seemed to see some extremely distant past through him, with a bit of nostalgia and bewilderment.

Shu Lingjia said: "Ming patriarch..."

As soon as the words came out, a ball of white light suddenly flew in from the window, landed in front of Shu Lingjia, and exploded.

This is the unique communication method of the Lingxiao faction, Shu Lingjia did not dodge, and looked down.

I saw that the scattered light spots merged into four characters, which read - "There is a difficulty in the door."

The disciples of the Lingxiao faction have been really unlucky recently, almost wherever they go, there will be difficulties.

After the accident in front of the mountain gate, not only did a fellow sect die, but even the head of the sect disappeared, which made everyone's joy when they returned to the sect disappear.

A group of people went up the mountain dejectedly, and reported the matter to the elders who stayed on the mountain.

When He Zizhuo was not in the sect, Luo Xiao, the head disciple, should have been in charge of all affairs, but because he was indifferent and reclusive by nature, and his health was not good, basically no major incidents happened, and he had a laissez-faire attitude.

Such a big commotion at the bottom of the mountain has already alarmed everyone on the mountain. At this time, they rushed to the main peak. Seeing that Luo Xiao was already standing there with a serious expression, they all asked: "Elder brother, what happened?"

"I don't know either." Luo Xiao frowned, "I seem to feel the master's sword energy, and I just rushed over."

He is always like this, he doesn't know what to ask, he doesn't know what to do, anyway, you just don't want to hear any useful news from Luo Xiao.

When someone heard this, they couldn't help frowning. At this time, the disciples at the bottom of the mountain had already come up with their swords.

"Eldest brother, something serious happened!"

When Ge Nan saw Luo Xiao, he finally couldn't help it, and almost cried in his voice: "Master, the master was taken away!"

"What did you say? Tell me carefully!"

Before Luo Xiao could speak, he was cut off by another serious voice. He turned his head and saw that it was Lu Zhang, the head of the punishment hall.

In addition to him, several other elders such as the peak master and elders also rushed over after receiving the news.

Luo Xiao said to Ge Nan: "Sit down and talk slowly, how could Master be taken away with such a cultivation level? When was it taken away, and by whom?"

Ge Nan collected himself, took a breath, and told what happened just now.

After everyone listened to it, they all found it unbelievable that the disciples of Ling Xiao were ambushed at the door of their own house. .

If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the Qizong will never be able to raise his head again.

Two peak masters looked at each other and said proactively, "Let's go to the mountain gate first to see if we can find any clues so that we can find the whereabouts of the sect master."

Luo Xiao said: "I'm sorry, two uncles. Please bring more people and pay attention to safety."

Lu Zhangdao: "Ge Nan, you just kept saying that this matter was done by the demons, how can you tell?"

Ge Nan smiled wryly and said: "Master Lu, we have been harassed countless times along the way, and there are traces of demons behind us, including the formation under the mountain gate just now."

He told the story of the road again, and then everyone knew that Jiang Rong had died on the way, and these people just returned to a sect, so they encountered so many ups and downs.

Luo Xiao pondered and said: "But if you tell me, those people should have countless opportunities to capture everyone, but they waited until you were about to go up the mountain before launching the final sneak attack. Why? Could it be Deliberate provocation? Our Lingxiao faction had a feud with the demons before?"

He asked the last sentence to other people, and the elders in the sect shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it.

In the midst of discussions, Lu Zhang's cold voice was heard clearly covering the noise: "It's unbelievable, and they are all one-sided words. Who knows whether these words are true or not!"

After a short silence around, Ge Nan said: "Master Lu, are you saying that the disciple is lying?"

Lu Zhang said solemnly: "Isn't it?"

Ge Nan said: "Other brothers and sisters are also seeing this matter, so how can so many people still lie. Everything I said just now is absolutely true."

Others also said: "We can testify to Brother Ge!"

"How could these things be made up? It's ridiculous!"

"Master Lu, the disciples have just escaped from a near-death situation, and they still miss Master, yet you accuse them indiscriminately like this, isn't it chilling?"

Amidst the doubts, Luo Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Lu Zhang thoughtfully, and suddenly had a feeling that a storm was coming.
