The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the scene inside the room.

The assassin who attacked at night did not dare to act rashly. He raised his hands high and allowed Xiao Jianxin to search him.

"This is, Soul-Dispersing Powder!"

Xiao Jianxin touched a bottle of transparent white powder from the assassin. Being knowledgeable and experienced, he immediately guessed what it was and glared at him.

He pulled off the assassin's veil and asked:

"You killed all those people?"

"Yes, yes..." The assassin admitted hesitantly in a weak voice.

At this moment, Wen Zixi seemed to have discovered something and immediately said, "He's lying!"

The assassin's body stiffened suddenly, but he did not refute immediately. Instead, he lowered his head with a lonely look.

soon.

There were heavy footsteps outside the room.

Hearing the sound, several people looked over and saw the left front guard escorting a man in black who was dressed the same as the assassin.

He kicked it to the ground and said solemnly:

"I heard some noise on the roof and went up to check and found this guy."

"Please, please forgive me. It's all his fault."

The assassin, whose mask had been removed, begged for mercy with a mournful face: "I was only responsible for attracting the feint attack. Those murders and arson have nothing to do with me. My whole family is in their hands. I was forced into this situation..."

Xiao Jianxin and Wen Zixi exchanged glances, both filled with doubt.

Afterwards, Xiao Jianxin found a bottle of soul-dispersing powder on the body of the assassin who was knocked unconscious by the left front guard. He speculated that the two men must have acted as a group.

If one party fails, the other party will take over, providing double insurance.

But if that’s the case, then the story about the monster in Pinglan Manor injuring people is fake?

Xiao Jianxin's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". He still couldn't believe that this incident was caused by human beings.

"Guard Xiao, I'll leave this person in your care." The left front guard clapped his hands after finishing his work and said seriously, "I'll take a look around. They may have colleagues. This concerns the princess's safety, so we must not take it lightly!"

At this time, Gu Junming also had his hands behind his back.

As he walked in from the door, he just happened to brush past the left front guard who was walking towards him.

He paused slightly, but did not stop.

"Caught?" Gu Junming said with a smile.

Xiao Jianxin said "hmm". He hesitated again and again, frowned and said, "Is it too simple?"

"Why?" Gu Junming raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of amusement, "In this remote mountain place, do you still want to meet a big devil?"

"Not really, it's just..."

Xiao Jianxin frowned and thought hard, but he couldn't figure out the key to the problem.

Although these two assassins have only reached the spiritual realm.

But he is indeed a monk.

But it was a bit too outrageous that the two of them could assassinate a cultivator in the Tuoyuan realm silently.

"I just feel that the methods these two have are far from the monsters that hurt people as rumored, right?"

Gu Junming said with a smile.

Xiao Jianxin nodded hesitantly.

"Exactly."

“I don’t think it should be this way either.”

Wen Zixi was puzzled and asked, "If this case is so easy to resolve, why would it be our turn?"

"Just ask him and you'll know."

Gu Junming pointed at the bound assassin and asked, hinting at something in his words: "Tell me! Why did you kill those innocent people?"

He angrily accused: "Are you a human being? You even don't let an 80-year-old lady go?!"

"I was forced."

The assassin immediately knelt on his knees and complained, "My wife and children are in their hands. If I don't follow their instructions, they will kill me to silence me! My child is less than two years old. I, I have no choice..."

"How dare you say that." Gu Junming snorted coldly, "You are a father yourself. When you were plotting to murder someone's child, did you ever think about this day?"

"What's wrong with two years old?"

"Mr. Zhang's daughter was only born, yet she was cruelly poisoned by you!"

"In my opinion, you have committed a heinous crime, and even the execution of your entire family would not be too much of a punishment!"

Gu Junming's words were sonorous and powerful, like an impartial judge with a righteous spirit.

"I am guilty, I'm sorry, it's all because of my stubbornness that I've caused so much suffering to others..."

The assassin burst into tears and couldn't help crying.

Xiao Jianxin was fine, and nothing much happened to him.

But Wen Zixi was confused.

Among the homes they visited in the past two days, were there any murdered octogenarians or newborn girls?

The fact is, it doesn't.

"Just wait for them to be sent to the imperial court for interrogation. They even dared to frame Princess Yongning."

Gu Junming said indignantly.

"The princess?"

The assassin was stunned and had a flaw for a moment.

And it is this flaw.

Let everyone know... he is lying!

"Second brother, abolish his cultivation and hand him over to the government office tomorrow."

Gu Junming found a dirty rag from somewhere and stuffed it into the assassin's mouth, saying with a cold smile:

"It's late at night, don't disturb others... take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy."

The assassin's eyes widened, filled with fear.

Seeing that the assassin wanted to say something, Gu Junming decided to go all out and struck him with a knife.

The other person felt pain, but did not faint immediately.

On the other hand, Gu Junming shook his palm and took a breath, "A martial artist... Second Brother."

Xiao Jianxin felt slightly ashamed.

But he still stepped forward and demonstrated the correct technique of hand knife, knocking the man unconscious.

"Grandmaster......"

"Shh!"

Gu Junming raised his index finger, signaling silence, and then his lips moved, silently conveying a message:

【Walls have ears! 】

"Now that the murderer has been caught, the matter has come to a successful conclusion."

Gu Junming stretched his waist with a sound of "ouch" and said sleepily, "I've been exhausted these past two days. I'll have a good rest tonight and go home tomorrow."

As he spoke, Gu Junming patted his lower back lightly and left.

This is Xiao Jianxin’s “Ren” brand lower-class room.

As soon as Gu Junming stepped out of the room, Wen Zixi followed him out and left together.

Xiao Jianxin got the hint and pretended not to care, walked to the door and closed it.

Half an hour later, a vague figure suddenly walked out of the darkness.

The direction they were heading towards was exactly where Princess Yongning's "Tian" brand superior room was located.

At this time.

Ji Xiaqing also finished his training and fell into a peaceful sleep.

There was still a strong wind outside, making the wind chimes jingle.

The blurry figure was standing at the door, wandering around, and suddenly bumped into it.

However, something strange happened. It actually passed through unimpeded and reached the room.

A figure came to the bed where Ji Xiaqing was lying on her stomach and sleeping soundly, and raised a hand faintly.

Without any hesitation, he reached out to Ji Xiaqing's face, where a little bit of crystal tears flowed from the corner of her mouth...

When physical intimacy is about to occur.

Suddenly, a ray of golden light overflowed from under the pillow.

Then the light became brighter and turned into a golden round shield, covering Ji Xiaqing.

But the black hand was not retracted in time and was instantly cut into pieces and disappeared on the spot.

clang--

At the same time, a loud bell seemed to ring between heaven and earth.

Like the morning bell ringing in a temple.

"Is this the Golden Bell Amulet?!"

"Wow! Do you have any sense?"
