The green-robed swordsman stopped smiling.
At this moment, a figure floated outside the window.
The green-robed swordsman did not look in the direction of the window. He said lightly, "What's the matter?"
"Sect Leader ordered me to inform Senior that Sword Maniac Chen Wenjie has arrived in Runan two days ago. Please pay attention to the cultivation experts of Clarity Sect and Righteous Sect."
The green-robed swordsman glanced at the black shadow and politely said, "Thank you."
"One more thing. It's very likely that Evil Sky Pavilion's Old Senior Ji has already arrived in Runan … Sect Master wants to know what Senior Ji's plan is? "The voice of the black shadow was somewhat hesitant and seemed to lack confidence.
"This has nothing to do with him." The green-robed swordsman gradually lowered his voice.
The black shadow instinctively took a step back.
The green-robed swordsman smiled again. He picked up the kettle on the table, poured a cup of water, and said slowly, "Friend, don't be afraid. It's very windy outside. If there's nothing else, why don't you come in and have a cup of water?"
"This … This junior still has to report back! Goodbye — "
The black shadow flashed and disappeared into the night.
The green-robed swordsman helplessly shook his head.
。
The next morning.
As soon as Lu Zhou opened his eyes, he heard a commotion outside.
Dong dong.
Someone knocked on the door.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet.
"Old, old mister …"
It was the shopkeeper's voice.
Lu Zhou got off the bed and opened the door suspiciously.
What he saw was the shopkeeper and several soldiers.
The shopkeeper's face was covered in cold sweat.
The leading officer cupped his fists and said, "Sir, may I ask if you have seen the murderer who killed Zhuo Ping?"
Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Zhuo Ping was dead?
He turned to look in the direction of Zhuo Ping's residence. At the door, two soldiers were cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground.
Broken swords were scattered around.
There were also two soldiers searching the room, but unfortunately, it was empty and they didn't find anything.
Zhuo Ping was, after all, an expert cultivator of the Divine Court realm. The fact that he was killed so quietly and without putting up any resistance meant that his opponent was most likely a Nascent Divinity Tribulation expert.
Lu Zhou shook his head to indicate that he did not see it.
The official sighed and said: "Zhuo Ping is an expert in the way of the sword, the person who can kill him must also be an expert. It's normal that you can't see it. "
Lu Zhou asked, "Does Zhuo Ping have a grudge against someone?"
The official frowned.
Then, he studied Lu Zhou from head to toe. In a slightly unfriendly tone, he said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Zhuo Ping's death had nothing to do with Lu Zhou.
But the killer is a master.
If Runan was a huge trap … then it would be difficult for them to escape.
"I'll ask you a question. All you have to do is answer it." Lu Zhou produced the Imperial token.
The leading official's eyes widened. He was just about to fly into a rage, but when he saw the token, he immediately became listless.
Exclusive dragon mark?
Someone from the royal family?
Shuddering, he knelt on the ground and stammered incoherently, "S-Sir."
The shopkeeper was also dumbfounded.
The other soldiers knelt down in unison without a word.
When he saw the token, his face stiffened as if he had swallowed a fly.
He knelt down obediently along with the official.
It was at this moment that Little Yuan 'er walked out, yawning and rubbing her eyes with her fists.
When he saw the people kneeling in front of Lu Zhou's door, he asked, "Grandpa, should I beat them up?"
"..." The shopkeeper simply sat down paralyzed.
Lu Zhou waved his hand, signaling her not to interrupt. Then, he asked, "Who is Zhuo Ping?"
"He's an expert swordsman. He obtained the Male and Female Swords by killing his own brother. His cultivation base is profound, and the authorities can't do anything to him. "
"Then, why is he in Runan?"
"Uh … I don't know."
The soldiers in front of him were just some small fries.
There were only a handful of cases involving Divine Court realm cultivators.
It was normal that they did not know about this.
It was unknown when Little Yuan 'er had run over to take a look, but now, she had returned. She seemed to have made a great discovery as she said, "I was killed with a single slash, from here … to here … Hmm, it was a sword slash right in front of my face." Little Yuan' er gestured with her own body.
Lu Zhou nodded. It should be an expert swordsman with a heaven-grade weapon.
In his memory, there were many people who fit these criteria.
The Sword Freak, Chen Wenjie.
The genius swordsman, Jiang Aijian.
The Luo Sect's Luo Changqing.
Or could it be that rascal, Yu Shangrong?
While Lu Zhou was lost in thought …
A commotion came from outside.
Lu Zhou and the kneeling soldiers were puzzled.
They looked out of the shop.
"Yuan 'er, go and have a look."
"Mhm."
Little Yuan 'er leaped off the building and dashed out.
Soon after, she returned.
"The flying chariot … It's the Temple of Great Emptiness's flying chariot," Little Yuan 'er said as she pointed outside.
"The Temple of Great Emptiness?"
Lu Zhou was puzzled. He turned around and walked down the stairs.
Little Yuan 'er followed closely behind him.
The kneeling soldiers looked at each other. They did not know if they should get up or not.
。
They went outside.
Lu Zhou looked up.
The huge flying chariot had flown to the edge of Runan City, but he could still see the bald monks flying in the air around it.
Judging from the symbols on the flying chariot, it was indeed the Temple of Great Emptiness's flying chariot.
"Let's go," Lu Zhou said.
"Oh."
The two of them walked north of Runan City.
As soon as they left Runan City …
Little Yuan 'er whispered, "Master, someone's following us."
Lu Zhou remained calm and only nodded.
This was the reason he had brought Little Yuan 'er with him.
Little Yuan 'er cultivated the Supreme Purity Jade Slip. Her perception far surpassed cultivators of the same realm. Moreover, she had always been mischievous and mischievous. Even if she encountered a powerful opponent, she could protect herself with the Supreme Purity Jade Slip's movement technique.
Lu Zhou did not have to split his attention to protect her.
Lu Zhou had planned to ride to the holy altar.
However, since someone was following them, he had no choice but to deal with it.
"Old Mister, please wait."
The stalker finally lost his cool and spoke first.
Lu Zhou and Little Yuan 'er turned around slowly.
They saw a young man who did not seem to be in his thirties.
"What's the matter?"
"I want to buy something from you, Old Mister."
Little Yuan 'er said angrily, "I'm not selling it! Get lost! "
The young man ignored Little Yuan 'er. His eyes fell on Lu Zhou.
"Old Mister, your short sword can destroy the Male and Female Dual Swords. It's a good sword … I'm willing to pay a high price for it," the young man said.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "You were here yesterday?"
The young man nodded. "Indeed … I should've discussed this with you yesterday, Old Mister. Alas, an elite was present, so I had to avoid him. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "You like swords?"
"I view swords as my life, and I love them to the bone."
The young man said slowly, "Initially, I planned to kill Zhuo Ping and take the Male and Female Dual Swords. I didn't expect someone to beat me to it. Alas, that elite destroyed both swords … What a shame … "
His words were filled with regret for the Male and Female Dual Swords.
"Who's that person?"
"I didn't see him … However, it's not difficult to guess. There are only three people who can unleash the sword path to such an extent. "
The young man was no longer anxious. He continued to say, "One of them is the villainous patriarch of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Ji Tiandao. He's also the person I fear the most …"
Little Yuan 'er covered her mouth and laughed. She said, "Why aren't you running then?"
