Xia Xueyi stared at the corpse of the lame night watchman in front of her, remaining silent and lost in thought.

For a moment, the scene fell silent, and the little girl who had been laughing wildly gradually calmed down.

After a long while, Xia Xueyi sighed softly, then slowly walked towards the little girl with the Golden Snake Sword in her hand.

He gently placed the golden snake sword on the little girl's neck, bent down, and whispered in her ear,

"You're very good. You hid it better than I did back then, and you're even more ruthless than me! It's a pity that one Xia Xueyi is enough for this world!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl's face turned deathly pale, but her eyes were filled with resentment as she glanced at the lame watchman's corpse. At that moment, all she wanted to do was tear him to pieces.

If it weren't for this damned man, how would these people have found this place? This is it? He wants to be Wen Ruyan's father? Bah!

Looking at the little girl's resentful eyes, Xia Xueyi didn't bother to say anything more. She swung her Golden Snake Sword, and a golden light reappeared. The blade of the Golden Snake Sword gently sliced ​​across the little girl's neck, and the little girl died instantly.

After Shan Tianxie finished dealing with the matter, he couldn't help but sigh. It was originally a matter of wiping out an entire family, but at the end, he also witnessed a melodramatic scene of a wealthy family. The rich really know how to play the game.

"Let's go, let's squat in the corner by the door for a while. When you're in this business, you have to keep your word. If you say three days, you mean three days. Not a single day less."

So many people who seem to be the main characters keep popping up.

Dan Tianxie felt a chill run down his spine. Fortunately, this was a martial arts world, otherwise he would have to learn how to exorcise the souls of the dead, otherwise becoming a ghost cultivator would be a troublesome matter.

Even the most iron man would starve and die of thirst in just three days without eating or drinking. If he doesn't die by then, he'll really complain to the central government.

Several days later, after staking out for three days and seeing that no one resembling the protagonist appeared, Shan Tianxie and his two companions quietly left with Xia Xueyi and Xiyu.

The massacre of the Wen family of the Chess Immortal Sect became a hot topic of discussion in the martial arts world.

.......

Inside an inn, a group of martial arts practitioners were discussing the major events that had recently occurred in the martial arts world.

"Have you heard? The Wen family of the Chess Immortal Sect was wiped out. The entire family of 251 people, from the five elders to the children, were all killed!"

"Not only that, I heard the methods were extremely cruel! After the incident, not only were there no ants left in the Wen family's house, but even the soil was scorched by a huge fire!"

"The Wen family isn't any better, but I wonder who was so ruthless!"

When this matter was mentioned, many of the martial arts figures in the inn became more serious.

Many people have heard about the Wen family's affairs these days, although the Wen family's reputation in the martial arts world is generally not good.

However, his martial arts skills were not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to accumulate such a large fortune. Moreover, the method of wiping out his entire family this time was extremely cruel. There were hundreds of people involved, yet not a single intact corpse could be found at the scene; they were all burned to a crisp.

At this moment, a know-it-all suddenly spoke up: "Hey, hey, this is nothing! I've also heard that some people say the Demonic Cult has resurfaced and they even want to go to Wudang Mountain to invite Master Zhang to come out of seclusion again and recreate the glory of the Sixty Years of Demon Extermination!"

wow

These words caused an uproar among the people in the inn, and many martial arts practitioners were shocked and grabbed their weapons, wanting to leave.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Zhang Sanfeng truly swept away all evil sects in the past, wiping out the demonic sects of the Sui and Yuan dynasties, and incidentally also eliminating some sects in the Ming dynasty's martial arts world that had gone too far.

If Master Zhang really does come out of seclusion, then it's best to stay in another country and lay low for a while!

However, some people doubted this, saying, "That can't be right. Didn't Master Zhang go on a journey around the world? Now Wudang is being discussed by Master Song, Shi Yan, and Master Ziyang."

"This is absolutely true! Why don't you believe me? Would I, Zhang Laowu, lie to you?"

The king panicked as soon as he made the announcement. What he feared most was that people wouldn't believe him. "My aunt's son's neighbor's son-in-law practices martial arts at Wudang!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately understood that the news couldn't be true, and the relationship had almost completely fallen apart.

Those martial arts practitioners who had been contemplating leaving wiped the cold sweat from their temples and sat back down, their eyes fixed intently on Zhang Laowu.

He thought to himself, "Good lad, you almost scared the brothers all the way abroad with just one piece of news. When you get out of here, I'll find a secluded place and teach you what it means to not believe or spread rumors!"

Meanwhile, in a corner nearby, Shan Tianxie smiled faintly upon hearing this news. The inn truly lived up to its reputation as a good place to gather information; however, it was a mixed bag of rumors, and discerning truth from falsehood was up to him.

However, a short while later, he did hear some news that interested him.

"Have you heard? Minister of War Yang Yuxuan has recently been found guilty of treason! The Emperor has ordered his execution!"

A scholar dressed nearby couldn't sit still any longer and immediately jumped out to speak upon hearing the news.

"What treason! It's just that Lord Yang offended Cao Zhengchun! I thought things would get better after Wei Zhongxian fell from power, but who would have thought that after Wei Zhongxian left, Cao Zhengchun would come along? Your Majesty, you're confused!"

"Brother, watch your words. Although the Eastern Depot has changed its director, it is still at its zenith. There are many gossips in the inn. If the people from the Eastern Depot hear you saying this, you may be in serious trouble!"

Those standing nearby, seeing the young man's attire, knew he was the kind of hot-blooded youth who was oblivious to the world around him and only focused on studying the classics, so they kindly offered a reminder.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a life! If I pass the imperial examination one day, I will definitely advise the emperor to shut down the two factories!"

The scholar's face was filled with righteous indignation, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"You little brat, what do you know! You, who only knows how to study, think you can become the top scholar? I think you'll behave when the Eastern Depot comes and arrests you! I've heard that the Eastern Depot has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. If you fall into their hands, you'll wish you were dead."

The innkeeper couldn't stand it anymore and quickly interrupted the scholar. "Do you think it's easy for him to run an inn?"

You've already gotten to the point of talking about things in the martial arts world, and now you've even brought up matters of the imperial court. You're all alone, full of passion and fearless.

He still has a wife, children, and a warm bed; if he attracts the attention of the Eastern Depot, he'll be implicated and ruined.

"Humph!"

Hearing his boss's words, the scholar's voice softened, clearly lacking the previous assertiveness, but he still said softly, "Fortunately, Lord Yang's bloodline has been rescued by righteous heroes of the martial world! The Eastern Depot's attempt to exterminate the descendants of a loyal minister is wishful thinking!"
