Wu Ang's body trembled as he pointed his finger at Zuo Yunxuan.
"You …"
Zuo Yunxuan sighed, "Junior Brother Wu, do you know why I dislike you the most among the four of us? It's because you're too pedantic and not as flexible as Junior Brother Zhangsun and the others. You're the only one left among the four of us. I planned to focus on supporting you as my left and right arm, but unfortunately, you're too insensible. Junior Brother, if there's a next life, I hope you'll be smarter. "
With a light swish, he pulled out his sword and Wu Ang's blood splattered on the spot. He fell to the ground with a plop and no longer made a sound.
Zuo Yunxuan sheathed his sword and exhaled slightly, calming himself down.
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Yunxuan dipped his finger in the blood on the ground and wrote a line of words. Then, he struck the window with his palm. He used the "absorb" formula in this strike. The window seemed to be pushed by an external force and suddenly opened. Zuo Yunxuan's figure was light as he quietly leaped out of the window.
… …
Outside the West Wind Inn, in a dark corner.
The four members of the White Phoenix Squad sat quietly in the corner under the cover of the night. Tu Mengjiao was among them.
Compared to the relaxed demeanor of the four members of the White Phoenix Squad, Tu Mengjiao seemed to have a lot on her mind. Occasionally, she would steal a glance at Bai Xiaowen before quickly looking away.
Bai Xiaowen was sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. Suddenly, he opened them.
"So ruthless."
Bai Xiaowen exhaled heavily.
"What's wrong?"
"What's the result?"
His teammates and Tu Mengjiao asked at the same time.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Tu Mengjiao and said to his teammates, "Elder Wu used the method I taught him to trick out the truth … Zuo Yunxuan personally admitted that he was the mastermind. Then, Elder Wu insisted on reporting Zuo Yunxuan. In the end … he was killed by Zuo Yunxuan. "
"Ah?!" The three teammates were dumbfounded. Tu Mengjiao was frozen on the spot with a look of disbelief on her face. She muttered, "It, it's a lie …"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Through the Shadow Assassin's perspective, I saw what happened next. Zuo Yunxuan was indeed an ambitious and ruthless character. After killing Elder Wu, he quietly sneaked out of the room and pretended that nothing had happened. He invited people back to his room to play chess. Then, he faced Elder Wu Ang's corpse and acted as if he was heartbroken. "
The high-ranking leaders of the Swordsong Plane relied on their hearing to detect nearby enemies, not mental scans. That was why the Shadow Assassin, who didn't need to breathe, was able to hide in stealth mode without being discovered by Zuo Yunxuan.
Of course, this didn't mean that Shadow Assassins could do whatever they wanted. The warriors of the Sword Song Plane all had powerful combat instincts. Once the shadow assassin sneaked up on the enemy and was about to attack, it would be detected and struck like lightning. The battle with Qin Hui back then had proven this point.
Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "Let's get out of here. Otherwise, this debt will be on my head before tomorrow. "
"Why?" His teammates were puzzled.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Zuo Yunxuan deliberately framed me. He forged a blood letter next to Wu Ang's corpse and wrote 'Murderer Bai Wen'. With such an obvious clue, Zuo Yunxuan didn't need to intentionally lead the righteous people who already had a grudge against me. They would automatically think that I was the murderer. "
Li Shuyi said angrily, "That old guy is too shameless."
After Bai Xiaowen recalled the Shadow Assassin, the group was about to evacuate from the West Wind Inn. Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded. The figures of the righteous martial artists appeared one after another. They leaped onto roofs and vaulted over walls, shouting to capture the devil Bai Wen.
"The righteous martial artists must have been bewitched by Zuo Yunxuan. They must have thought that the captain killed Wu Ang, so they came out to capture him." Qiao Rui said, "They are so fast."
"That Zuo Yunxuan must have the mentality of a thief crying thief. He can't know that we are really in Changxi City." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "Let's not be so lucky. Let's leave Changxi City first."
The four of them walked quickly. Tu Mengjiao was confused, as if she was in a nightmare. But when she saw Bai Xiaowen's straight back, she couldn't help but follow him.
However, the White Phoenix team's luck was obviously worse this time. They had just passed through two alleys when they encountered two righteous martial artists.
"Stop!"
A low shout sounded. The two righteous martial artists drew their weapons and blocked in front of them. Bai Xiaowen didn't hesitate and directly gave the order to attack. The Butcher fell from the sky with a foul stench. He crashed to the ground with a bang and smashed his giant scepter. Li Shuyi and Han Xu also pounced at the same time. Qiao Rui's soul rhythm bamboo flute also began to play.
The two righteous martial artists only had the strength of a high-level elite. How could they resist the all-out firepower of the White Phoenix team? One of them was stabbed in the vital part by Li Shuyi and killed instantly. The other one saw that the situation was not good and tried to escape by using his lightness skill. However, Bai Xiaowen hit him with a Charm of Confusion in the air. Then, the Butcher's giant stick smashed him to death.
In such a delay, there was a sound of air breaking behind them. Several black shadows chased them as fast as the wind. Obviously, they had heard the sound of fighting.
The White Phoenix team each activated the acceleration skill of their shoes and temporarily escaped from the sight of the pursuers behind them. They had been fleeing westward.
However, the acceleration skill of the awakened ones' shoes was very short. After all, it couldn't be compared with the lightness skill of the martial artists from the Sword Song Dimension. Before escaping from Changxi City, Bai Xiaowen and his team were intercepted by two groups of righteous martial artists. One of them was a righteous elder. It was Xu Quan!
Fortunately, the Butcher, Wrath Claw, Skeleton Warrior and other summoned creatures besieged ferociously. Xu Quan was scared off and everyone escaped to the outskirts of Changxi City.
Night fell into the water, and everything was dim yellow. On the sparse farmland, Bai Xiaowen and his team ran quickly.
"Hey, that Tu Mengjiao disappeared." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen said, "It's not a good thing for her to follow us. Once she is discovered, she will immediately become a traitor to the sect and the righteous martial arts world. This kind of pressure is not something a weak woman can bear. "
Suddenly, there was a long laugh and several black shadows approached quickly.
The White Phoenix team had lost their acceleration skill and couldn't outrun these martial artists with lightness skill. They could only stop and prepare for battle. The black shadows rushed to the front and blocked the way of the four people.
With the dim moonlight, Bai Xiaowen could see that the leader was Xu Quan. This old guy was really haunting them.
"Little devil Bai, I'd like to see where you can run to!" Xu Quan sneered while stroking his beard.
Bai Xiaowen secretly ridiculed in his heart. At the West Wind Inn, he was the "Great Devil Bai Wen". Why did he become a little devil when they met? Did he bully me because I'm young? In fact, that was the case. Anyone who saw Bai Xiaowen's face would be embarrassed to call him a great devil. After all, he was only a teenager.
