The heart "Tao" process of a heaven, earth and Taoist emperor

"Are you hired by Xiancui Pavilion?"

Zhuo Feng looked at a group of hunting group killers that suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked with a gloomy expression.

The few power practitioners standing with him also confronted each other with a serious posture. These people's cultivation bases are the same as him, and they are all power masters who transform Qi Xiaochongtian.Except for these few of them, the others were all dressed as guards, and their cultivation was just a small level of qi training. At this time, Tuantuan surrounded several large carts in the middle, acting as guards, waiting in full force.

Those people on the other side, although not as many as them, but the cultivation of the leader is much higher than them, Zhuo Feng and the others do not have an advantage.

So Zhuo Feng was also observing, wondering if he could use some advantage to make them give up their "ideas" on his side.After all, not every hired hunter is willing to participate in the grievances between the Ji family and the Gu family.

As for why the Ji family and the Gu family hated so much, it had to start with Gu Ling's death a month ago.

A month ago, Zhuo Feng and Luo Qingcheng killed the ancient spirits and met the spies hidden in the ancient family by Yinlou. They were still too young and inexperienced, which caused trouble for the Ji family.

On the second day after killing Gu Ling, Gu Ling was found to have died tragically in the room. Besides him, his personal attendant, who was actually a male favorite, also died together.

The most strange thing is that the ancient spirit was directly pierced through the heart but did not resist at all. Instead, the male pet was covered in injuries, his eyes were gouged out, and his limbs were mutilated, obviously after a fierce fight.

But this male favorite, as long as anyone in the Xiancui Pavilion knows, is a person with no cultivation base who relies on his color to get the upper hand, but he did not expect to be found to be a second-level power-controlling person after his death.

Xiancui Pavilion concealed the news for three days. Three days later, Gu Fa aggressively came to the mayor's mansion of Linran County to ask the mayor to uphold justice and arrest the murderer to avenge the dog.

It wasn't until then that everyone knew that Gu Ling had been killed, and the evidence presented by Xiancui Pavilion was that Gu Ling's personal attendant was holding a fragment of a sleeve with the word "Ji" embroidered on it.The wise man suddenly realized that this "self" was clearly half of Ji, and the ancient method pointed the murderer directly at Ji's family, accusing him of sending a powerful person to kill the dog.

The mayor, Yintai, has been accepting the benefits of the Ji family these days, and Yinlou is beneficial to them. In secret, he is completely on the side of the Ji family, so he has quietly sent someone to the Ji family as soon as Gu Fa came. send message.

But no matter what, on the surface he is still the mayor of Linran County. If someone comes to appeal for grievances, he will naturally act impartially.But Yintai couldn't be what Gufa said. After listening to Gufa's statement with a face as calm as water, he was silent for a moment, asked his superior evidence to check in person, and pretended to summon people from the Ji family to come forward to identify it.

The person who came to the Ji family was Ji Peng, the new manager, Ji Yun's grandson. Half a quarter ago, he was the one who introduced Yintai's people into the main hall of the Ji family. After the high-level discussion, he was also told what to do. At this time, he only needs to perform his own play well according to the script.

If the Gu family dared to take out a piece of clothing with the word "ji" embroidered on it, it must have been properly arranged.Therefore, after seeing the piece of clothing, Ji Peng openly admitted that it was indeed a piece of uniform made by the Ji family, but he did not admit the murder.

Ji Peng's reason is very simple. May I ask which power user who is going to commit murder in secret will wear clothes that can show his identity? Isn't that something an idiot would do? !

Moreover, the Ji family has a lot of stewards, so every year the Ji family will make a set of steward uniforms for them, and the old uniforms will inevitably be thrown away. Anyone can get a steward uniform with the word "Ji" embroidered on it, it's a breeze.

What he said was sincere and courteous, and Mayor Yintai couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Originally, Yinlou and Ji's family were allies now. Although he had no choice but to accept the matter of Gufa out of his position, his heart was toward the Ji family.At this time, what the Ji family said was so well-founded, and unless Gu Fa found other conclusive evidence, this would be the case.

Gu Fa had already identified the Ji family in his heart, so he naturally refused to listen to Ji Peng's statement. Now, seeing that the mayor was defending the Ji family everywhere, and wanted to find another evidence himself, he obviously sided with the Ji family, and also affirmed the rumors. Yintai and the Ji family colluded.

Therefore, Gu Fa knew that it was impossible to rely on proper means for this matter, so he didn't say anything else, and left with his hands, but before he left, he asked Ji Peng to tell Ji Ruxue that their Gu family wanted to pay in blood.

Hearing this meaning, naturally he couldn't give up, and Ji Peng even saw from Gu Fa's expression that he seemed to have identified the murderer.

Ji Peng was secretly startled, but he was worthy of being Ji Yun's grandson. When he saw Gu Fa's threatening words, he immediately sneered, but his attitude was still polite and he replied: "The pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Right and wrong are twists and turns. , Patriarch Gu, please check it out, the Ji family is not wronged if they can be wronged."

Hearing this, Gu Fa's face was ashen, he flicked his sleeve vigorously, turned and left.

After this incident, the Ji family didn't expect this to end, but they also didn't expect Gu Fa to dare to act in such a big way, especially when they knew the real background of Gu Fa.

Gufa turned out to be an energy master of the "Life and Death Gate", one of the top two sects of the Blood Ridge Sense Energy Sect in the Northland. Later, he violated a taboo in the sect and was not only expelled from the sect, but also ordered to hunt down and kill them. Flee to the five western countries where the sphere of influence of the gate of life and death cannot be intervened.Perhaps because they didn't want to be discovered, they had been hiding in the small place of Linran County.

But I didn't expect that the ancient method would issue a large number of employment orders in the five countries. They are not afraid that the door of life and death will find out, so they come to the door? !

The Gate of Life and Death is one of the two sects of Xueling in the north of the Fengzu Continent that cultivates with mind, energy and mind. It advocates the method of dual cultivation, and Taoist couples learn the meaning of desire from each other to practice. It is said that most of its disciples are handsome men Tall, and the woman is extremely charming. After the double cultivation, not only the five senses are satisfied, but also the cultivation level is improved rapidly.Coupled with its unique mentality in the door, it is the yearning place for many young men and women who are capable.

But the Grand Sect also has its disadvantages. For example, if it wants to hunt down a fugitive, it cannot act in private. Unless it is not discovered, it must inform the local power circle, and then start the hunt openly.But this will inevitably cause other troubles, the simplest one is to lose favor.

So generally speaking, unless it is a person who must be killed, others can be killed or not.

However, those who can escape the pursuit of the sect and come to other spheres of influence, generally speaking, are people who don't matter.And as a fugitive who has mastered some important secrets, even if he has a high level of cultivation, even if he escapes to the ends of the world, he will be hunted down to the end.

And those betrayers who can escape from the influence of this sect are really pitiful, because their cultivation base is not high, and they are usually blocked and killed in the local power circle.But once they escape, as long as these fugitives don't appear in the face of the pursuers openly, they will be allowed to run free.

The Fengzu Continent's Imperial Energy Realm has its own set of rules. Although these rules are not expressly stipulated, as long as you are a powerful person in the Fengzu Continent, you must abide by them. It can even be said that these unspoken rules are the living standards of the Imperial Energy Realm.

The act of issuing employment orders in the ancient law is no different from declaring "I am living a good life". Isn't this just cutting the face of the "Gate of Life and Death"? !

But the strange thing is that Gu Fa still does this without any scruples at all. Everyone guesses that Gu Fa has gone crazy because of the pain of losing his son!

No matter what, the current situation is that Gufa hires an empowered person who is willing to kill for him, and quietly blocks and kills the Ji family's orders in the dark. From the master to the servants and maids, as long as they are members of the Ji family, Once the opportunity is found to be suitable, kill it immediately, and then take the head to Gufa to confirm and receive the commission.

At the beginning, the Ji family didn't take it seriously, thinking that the ancient method was just a gimmick to bring down the Ji family, but with the disappearance and the increase in the number of deaths, the senior members of the Ji family had to pay attention.

They didn't expect that Gufa would dare to act like this. Ji Zhibin and Ji Ruxue went out to discuss business. They went to the entrance of Xiancui Pavilion to make trouble, and fought with the people of Xiancui Pavilion. As a result, both parties failed to make any business that day, and there were casualties.

Originally, if the mayor Yintai was informed of this matter, since Yinlou and the Ji family have formed an alliance, Yintai would come forward to resolve the matter. It is really impossible, and it is still possible to send official troops to protect the Ji family, but now this matter has involved a private fight , Both sides have made mistakes, Yintai will be criticized if he blindly favors the Ji family, so he just turned a blind eye, as long as you don't cause too much trouble in Linran County, he will not ask.

So with Yintai's acquiescence, the assassination battlefield between Ji's family and Xiancui Pavilion expanded from Linran County to the outside.

Now that the Ji family's business has extended, many merchants or families in nearby towns have purchased Cang Dan.So the delivery team of Ji's family was attacked. Although the loss of personnel and goods was not heavy, there were still some.

To come and not to reciprocate is also indecent, and the Ji family also began to hire hunting groups to stop and kill the team of Xiancui Pavilion who went out to do errands.

In addition, some hunters who wanted to speculate later, they hunted and killed ordinary people, and then cut off their heads and took them to the Ji family and the Gu family to receive rewards.Generally speaking, in order to gain a good reputation for themselves, as long as the Ji family and the Gu family are hunters who come to see them, they will pay commissions.That's why these unhealthy hunters took advantage of the loopholes. It was dangerous for them to hunt and kill the powerful and they were afraid of being chased and killed by the elders of the deceased, but they didn't have any psychological burden to hunt and kill ordinary people.Ordinary people die when they die, who cares? !

As a result, the death toll of ordinary people, especially accidents, increased rapidly in a short period of time, and the appearance of more and more headless corpses outside the city made Yintai pay attention.

After beating the Ji family and the Gu family, the Ji family and the Gu family restrained themselves, and as time passed, the amount of money spent on paying hunters increased, and the two sides could not afford such a waste of personnel and money. , So they gradually stopped their hands and turned to shady hands behind their backs.In this way, you only need to hire one or two high-level power users, even if you can't kill them, you can still escape.

Today, Ji Chuge, the third elder of the Ji family, led the team to a small town called Duanmu near Linran County to deliver a batch of Cangdan and Neng essence. The goods are exactly what they buy.

Originally, for things like this, you only need to use a storage ring to install it, and then a master of the Ji family with high cultivation can carry it for protection and send it to you. But he was worried, and in desperation, the Ji family had no choice but to send a large team to escort the goods to Duanmu.

In order to prevent someone from causing trouble, the Ji family asked the mayor for a warrant to open the city gate and leave the city in the middle of the night, but they were still ambushed.Although they have already done things that might be attacked and caused trouble, especially the people in Xiancui Pavilion, the two families have died down during this period, and the mood of Ji's servants has also relaxed. Fortunately, because of the lack of manpower, Zhuo Feng followed all the way, relying on his powerful sense of soul, and saved the Ji family's group from being attacked and ambushed.

However, the Ji family also lost two guards of the Qi-training Little Chongtian, and as the third elder who led the team at the second level of Huaqi, because of resisting the enemy, he not only lost a lot of Qi energy, but was also injured, although it did not hurt his life. , but also seriously injured.Even Zhuo Feng was hit by the opponent's Qi energy bombardment, causing his right arm to be injured.

So at this moment, Zhuo Feng was in a very bad mood.

"Who is it from the Ji family who I'm talking about, so it's Zhuo Feng, you little bastard?" From behind many hired hunters, a man with a black beard walked out, staring at Zhuo Feng with an unfriendly expression.

"Are you the second shopkeeper in Xiancui Pavilion, Gu Tian, ​​who was rumored to be the one who never sees the end of the dragon?" The third elder Ji Chuge tried his best to straighten up with the help of the guards, and asked loudly.

"Third Elder, I'm right here. I don't know if you have found Patriarch Ji's bones. If Patriarch Ji's corpse was killed in the wilderness, and his bones were completely cold, he couldn't rest in the ground. Wouldn't it be wrong?" Gu Tian smiled maliciously, It looks like it's worse.

"You?" The third elder heard that Gu Tian said so from the head of the family, and his anger stagnated in his chest. After a while, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth with black threads.

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Feng's face became even colder.Through the "soul search" of the ancient spirit, Zhuo Feng also roughly understood the reason for Ji Zhenyu's injury, which was indeed related to Shui Lao and Kan Shuimen.

Gu Fa led the Gu clan escaped from the Gate of Life and Death, and traveled westward, meeting an unpredictable black-clothed energy master on the way.Gu Fa didn't know whether it was out of kindness or what, but he tried his best to save him and took him on the road together.Later, Mr. Cao, the black-clothed energy master, Gu Ling's master, agreed to help Gu Fa settle in a small town in the five western countries out of gratitude.

This small town is Linran County.

It turned out that the master of this master in black was a disciple of Patriarch Shiqiu, but he had defected from the school. It is possible that the former junior learned of his situation and secretly helped him settle in Linran County.

But in fact, the younger brother of the black-clothed Energy Temperer secretly teamed up with Gu Fa and Gu Ling to ask them to check the news about the five sects of the Heart Energy Sect, so they took this opportunity to make Xiancui Pavilion a part of their power. Keep a dark eye and monitor the situation in Linran County at any time.

Both of them kept this matter from the Black Clothes Tempering Master.

Then what kind of junior brother can be said to have worked so hard to plant a nail in Linran County, just to investigate the Xinnengzong and Kanshuimen. After Zhuo Feng told Luo Qingcheng about this, Luo Qingcheng sent a letter to his family overnight , and at the same time repeatedly warned Zhuo Feng not to reveal his cultivation and mentality unless it was absolutely necessary.

Besides, the younger brother, when the Gu family established a firm foothold in Linran County, they started to move.

Later, after years of investigation, it was discovered that an old man in the Ji family may have a significant relationship with Kanshuimen.

So this junior brother brought from nowhere an invisible power master and countless power masters who were able to control qi and transform qi into small heavens to intercept and kill the old man.

During the fight, Ji Zhenyu, who was a promising little Chongtian, was naturally alarmed. I don't know how deeply the Ji family and the old man even have a deep connection with what kind of door to chop. Speech moved hands.

In the end, Ji Zhenyu was seriously injured, more than half of the younger brother's subordinates were injured, and even himself was seriously injured, so he beat the old man of Shuimen seriously and forced him to the vicinity of Xixi Cave, and finally forced him to enter In the miasma, I want him to be injured by the miasma and die in it.

Later, Zhuo Feng and Luo Qingcheng went to Xixi Cave.

It was also knowing these things that gave Gu Ling arrogance.But the body died and the soul disappeared, and now only the ancient method is known about Kanshuimen and Shuilao.

The only hidden danger is the younger brother of the black-clothed energy temperer.

The black-clothed energy master obviously didn't want to get involved in the affairs of his junior brother and his sect, and his junior brother obviously wanted to keep it from him.Coupled with the three unwritten rules of the Power Realm, the Ji family should be safe.

What are the three hidden rules of Fengzu Continent's Power Realm?

One is that if an external force hunts down or kills a certain or some capable persons, it can only hunt down the individual, not the entire force that the individual belongs to. As for this person being protected by a family or sect, you have How to hunt or hunt depends on one's ability; the second is that foreign powers or forces cannot completely destroy the powers in the region, otherwise they will be hunted down jointly by the powers in the entire region; The third is that when chasing and killing one or some powerful people, do not hurt other innocent people, especially ordinary people.

These three rules seem to be consistent, but in fact only the second one is really effective. As long as the cultivation level is high enough, the technique is clever enough, and the mind is poisonous enough, the other two can be completely ignored.

But despite this, it is very important to Zhuo Feng.

After Zhuo Feng heard about these three points, and especially carefully studied the second point, he was completely relieved. Linran County belongs to Yin Country, and Yin Country belongs to the five western countries, so even if the old man Shiqiu said by the ancient spirit When the ancestors came, they could only do things secretly, and never dared to easily wipe out the entire Ji family.After all, Xiancui Pavilion has been recorded in the town book of Linran County, and it is regarded as a local force. What he did to the Ji family is not the same as what this Shiqiu ancestor did.

At this moment, Zhuo Feng's eyes are more cold, but he doesn't have any worries. As long as they are within the scope of the five kingdoms' power realm, the Ji family is safe. Except for the Xiancui Pavilion of the Gu family, they have no enemies or opponents.

For the Gu clan and the Ji family, the two are personal grievances.

Not to mention the Gu clan, they settled down in Linran County not long ago, even the Ji family was unwilling to open their mouths to ask any big power for help.

Therefore, the two families can only hire some hunting groups that do not belong to any forces to act.

As for the real master, Zhuo Feng believes that with the personal strength of the ancient method, especially now that he is no longer an energy master, it may be difficult to invite him, and the old ancestor Qiu has not shown up for such a long time and will not appear again Sending people here is probably because the Gu clan is no longer valued by them.

Although Zhuo Feng was guessing, he didn't know that it was all true.

The faction that Elder Shiqiu belongs to doesn't even know the name of Gufa, and it's even more impossible to send people here because of Gufa to avenge his personal revenge.Especially after Luo Qingcheng got the reply, he just told Zhuo Feng that he would be safe for the time being, and he went out alone to meet his clansmen, except for being careful.

That's why Zhuo Feng followed the Ji family to escort the goods this time.

This time, the people from Xiancui Pavilion are also their own power masters and a group of hired hunters.

After Zhuo Feng looked around, although he was a little surprised by their source and number of people, he was not nervous.Although besides myself and the third elder, there is no one on my side who is a Qi Hua Xiaochongtian power user, but the other side only has two Qi Hua Xiao Chongtian power users.

As for the power practitioners who practiced Qi and Xiaochongtian, the Gu family had the upper hand in terms of numbers, but as long as the two of them who were capable of transforming Qi and Xiaochongtian were beaten to the ground, the others would naturally be no problem.What's more, I can now be regarded as a power user at the sixth level of qi transformation, and there are two "only" killers, Yidian and Zeling.

Zhuo Feng walked up to the third elder, handed him a bottle of Energy Essence, and whispered in his ear: "We haven't heard any news from Patriarch Ji, and no news is the best news, Gu Tian This is nothing more than trying to mess with our minds, so don't fall for their tricks."

The third elder is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he had doubts in his heart. Hearing Zhuo Feng's words at this time, he immediately understood the meaning, nodded, and then poured the energy essence into his mouth, sat cross-legged and meditated, and began to recover Qi. able.

Not to mention anything else, even if Patriarch Ji really had an accident, let's get over the current hurdle first, this tough battle can only be won but not lost.

Seeing that Zhuo Feng and the third elder were whispering, Gu Tian's face immediately darkened. He knew that his aggressive method must have failed.

Sure enough, the third elder began to meditate with his legs crossed and said something to his subordinates. Afterwards, these people immediately tried their best to regain their fighting spirit.

Only Zhuo Feng, the wounded third elder, and the other four guards of the Qi-training Xiaochongtian remained in the Ji family with combat effectiveness. A heavy power-controller, and five hunters who trained in the small Chongtian.

In terms of comprehensive strength, my side is absolutely superior.
