On the outskirts of Summer City, the night rain had just stopped.
In a wasteland overgrown with weeds, there was a puddle of red water. Because it had been mixed with fresh blood, it carried a bloody smell.
That was human blood.
Because the corpses were beside it.
There were a total of ten corpses.
Several people stood beside the corpses. One of them was the Tangmen's Tang San.
But Tang San was not playing the role of an assassin today. He was just collecting the corpses.
These ten corpses were all assassins from the assassin organization. They had been killed.
As an assassin, he could be killed at any time. This wasn't something strange, but the key point was that these ten corpses had words written on them. The content was: Qin Lang, tonight at midnight, this old man will wait for you at the Iron Stump Ferry! — Saint Peng Yinglong.
After Tang San saw the "signature", he immediately passed the message to Qin Lang.
The meaning of the word "Saint" was something that Tang San had only recently understood. But he knew the weight of this word and understood that this person was not someone they could deal with. But he did not know if Qin Lang could handle it this time.
"According to the organization's rules, give the families of the deceased enough subsidies. If the descendants are willing to learn martial arts, they can be provided with the conditions. "Qin Lang indicated to Tang San to take care of these people's funerals.
As a member of the Jianghu, as an assassin, many people may have such a day. The key was to have a goal while alive, to have a goal, to have someone to look after after death, or to have their last wishes fulfilled.
Saint Peng Yinglong.
Qin Lang knew that the art sect had put in a lot of effort. They had sent out a Martial Sage.
This was also what Qin Lang had expected. He had taken care of all the members of the art sect in Pingchuan Province. If the art sect did not respond, it would really be abnormal.
Qin Lang could not back down from such a challenge because the other party had given him a warning. If Qin Lang did not accept the challenge, the other party would continue to kill the assassin organization. Although the people of the assassin group were very vigilant and had strong combat power, in the face of absolute power, these were useless.
Before Qin Lang could go to Summer City, he received an invitation from Enlightened Shui Jing. Immortal Shui Jing said that he wanted to have a good talk with Qin Lang, and he also said that it was something important.
The so-called important matter, Qin Lang could easily figure out that it was related to the Duan Family.
Because the Bug Demon and Taoist Priest Tian Yuan had disappeared together, both the Qingcheng Sect and the Shendao Sect were very puzzled. They didn't know what had happened. No one would believe that the Bug Demon had killed Taoist Priest Tian Yuan, but if Taoist Priest Tian Yuan had returned victorious, why hadn't there been any news? Furthermore, the reactions of the people of the Divine Dao Sect seemed to be as if they had lost their parents. Therefore, Daoist Shui Jing was deeply worried and puzzled.
Just as Immortal Shui Jing was puzzled, Qin Lang suddenly appeared, so Immortal Shui Jing decided to talk to this "old friend" and see if he could find out anything about the Bug Demon from him. After all, Qin Lang was Bug Demon's friend.
Qin Lang went as promised.
After seeing Immortal Shui Jing, Qin Lang took the initiative to pour tea for Immortal Shui Jing and sighed, "How long has it been since we last met? I didn't expect Daoist Priest to become a one-armed old man. However, I have heard a little about the Duan Family. Humans die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. "
"Mr Qin, this old Daoist is already like this. Don't laugh at me." Immortal Shui Jing said, "This old Daoist invited you here in hopes that you can give me some pointers. I want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Bug Demon."
"Bug Demon, he is my friend. He has been missing for a few days. I don't know why you are looking for him." Qin Lang said, pretending to be confused.
"Of course, it is also because of the Duan Family." Immortal Shui Jing said with a bitter face, "This matter has already pressured our Qingcheng Sect to the point of suffocation."
"Suffocation? Who is so arrogant? " Qin Lang said calmly, "Your Qingcheng Sect can be considered to have a deep foundation. How could you be forced to this point?"
"Mr Qin, don't joke around. This old Daoist has lost an arm. In the future, the improvement of my cultivation realm will be greatly affected. This time, our Qingcheng Sect can be said to have suffered heavy losses. It is all because we listened to the information of your Bug Demon friend. That's why — "
"I originally shouldn't have investigated the matter between you and the Bug Demon. However, although Bug Demon is very ruthless, he does things in an open and aboveboard manner. I don't think there is any need for him to trick you. Besides, what benefits does he get from tricking you? After tricking you, the Qingcheng Sect and the Divine Dao Sect will hunt him down. Is this the result he wants? "
Qin Lang interrupted Immortal Shui Jing's words. "Daoist, we are considered friends. We should tell each other the truth. I know about the Bug Demon's matter, you just want him to be a scapegoat. However, I think this is actually very stupid. "
"Stupid?" Daoist Shui Jing said in surprise. "For us, this is also the best solution."
"No." Qin Lang shook his head. "Even if you catch the Bug Demon as a scapegoat, I'm afraid it may not be able to quell the anger of the cultivation world."
"However, we have already given them an explanation —"
"For the strong, do they need to reason with the weak?" Qin Lang said. "Regarding this matter, have you talked to the Bug Demon?"
Daoist Shui Jing was speechless. He knew that Qin Lang was right. So what if they found a scapegoat? The people of the cultivation world might not buy it.
"Then, Mr. Qin, what do you have in mind?" Daoist Shui Jing asked.
"What does this matter have to do with me?" Qin Lang said calmly. "Although the Bug Demon is a member of the assassin group, he has already disappeared because of you. I'm already giving you face by not pursuing this matter. As for how to deal with the blame of the cultivation world, that's your problem. "
"Mr. Qin, we're friends after all."
"Yes, we are friends. I have given a lot of benefits to the Qingcheng Sect. However, the repayment that the Qingcheng Sect gave me doesn't seem to be very friendly. " Qin Lang said lightly. "The elixirs of the Poisons are not unlimited. Daoist Shui Jing, since we are friends, then you should show some sincerity towards friends."
Ever since Qin Lang "reappeared in the world", he began to become stronger. Because of the situation, he had no choice but to be strong. The days of compromising could no longer continue.
"Mr. Qin, I invited you here today because I want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Bug Demon. As for the cooperation between the Poisons and the Qingcheng Sect, we will talk about it later — "
