Chapter 1

In early spring and March, at this time, the severe winter has passed, and the cold spring has not disappeared, but the willows are already green, the birds are singing, and there is a lot of vitality.But no matter how full of spring it is, it can't penetrate the chilling atmosphere of Simen.

It is said that the founder of Simen was born with extraordinary talents and great supernatural powers. His specific experience cannot be traced due to the long history. We only know that his surname is Si. He is a descendant of Xia Yu in ancient times. After achieving great fame, he founded Simen. , specializing in assassination duties.Simen is also the gate of death, which implies that those who stare at Simen or those who are stared at by Simen are all dead but not alive, and there is no fluke.

For more than a hundred years, Simen has stood on the border of the Kyushu Kingdom, mysterious and powerful, even the brave and warlike Six Clans who are at odds with the Kyushu Kingdom have lived in peace with it.So no one would have thought that Simen at this time was riddled with holes and vulnerable to a single blow.

Among the carved beams and pavilions, there is bleeding and floating pestles, and corpses are lying everywhere.

In Shura's sea of ​​blood, there were only two people who were spotless and looked out of place: one was an old man with white hair and pale face, and the other was a delicate woman dressed in a blood-red dress.

The bloody smell in the air made the woman in red frown, but it took only a moment for her to regain her expression.

Leaning on a stick, the old man tremblingly walked towards the main hall of the Simen door step by step, like a stroll in a courtyard, but he seemed to ignore the killings of the Simenmen on both sides along the way.

The woman followed slowly, and said carefully, "Elder Zhan, do you have to get rid of all the elites under Si Nongyue?"

Si Nongyue is the current head of the Si Clan. It is said that he is moody and has a violent temperament. After he came to the throne, he killed many half-brothers with evil intentions, and slaughtered the elders who dared to point fingers at him. Although the sharpness of the means has established prestige, it is also chilling to the hearts of the people.Therefore, not all of his subordinates are devoted to him. To be precise, there are very few people who are loyal to him.

The woman actually met her distant brother when she was a child. In her impression, he was a beautiful child who was a bit arrogant and intelligent.But thanks to this, she, who was supposed to marry a woman, had the chance to take power.

"Jiying, he is also a serious and courteous sect master after all. No matter how many people support you, how can you tolerate soft-heartedness? You can only cut the grass and root out, clean up his subordinates, and let him be alone. There will be no more storms!" The old man paused, smiled kindly, and spit out some decisive words from his mouth, as if he was just teaching the younger generation the principles of life.

Ji Ying moved her lips, but finally said nothing.Although in her opinion, as long as the confidants of the current door owner are killed, if the Si door is to be cleaned up, it will not only confirm her crime of seizing the throne, but also greatly hurt the Si door, but she still Only with the support of this elder can she control Simen, so she can only turn a blind eye to the old man's ulterior motives.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ji Ying suddenly felt a strong wind blowing by her ears, and in shock, three killers in black had already passed her and outflanked the old man.

The old man still kept smiling, as if he hadn't reacted to the sudden blow.

Ji Ying thought that if it was aimed at her, she would definitely not be able to dodge the carefully planned swords of these three killers, she couldn't help but hold her breath, and felt her whole body tense up.

In a blink of an eye, the bright white sword light flashed, and Ji Ying only had time to see Elder Zhan retract a short sword into his ordinary crutch. It turned out that the inconspicuous crutch was a sword stick!

The two killers were instantly cut in two by the old man's sword. Bright red blood splashed out, but none of them could get on the blade of the short sword or the old man's gray robe.

Only the killer in the middle just paused, and took advantage of the gap between Elder Zhan's drawing his sword, with his toes pointing on the wall of the nearby pavilion, he bowed and turned back like an arrow from a string, and then turned around and entered the courtyard. Suddenly it disappeared.

The crisis passed in an instant, but Ji Ying felt that it took several hours, her tense mind instantly relaxed, and she realized that she was covered in cold sweat.

"Hmph, I still have some skills." The old man squinted his eyes, revealing lines of laughter, but Ji Ying, who had just seen the old man's killing methods, naturally didn't feel how amiable this smile was.

"Elder Zhan..." Ji Ying hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "The one who escaped was Junior Sister Weiyun's guard."

Although she and Weiyun have a good relationship, they are now at the critical point of power change, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

But I heard the old man say: "It's just a dog, it won't live long."

This Elder Zhan has always been arrogant and ruthless. He escaped from the sword that he was determined to win by a small doorman. He naturally felt that he had lost face, so how could he easily spare that person?

That's why although the tone of these words was light, they already had killing intent.
