The third chapter! >
Zi Jinghong's eyes, which had finally recovered, became a little dazed again. She felt her stomach churning again. She tried her best not to vomit and said, "Then … what happened?" Such an expert's breathing was actually a little unstable. Even his tone of speaking was a little stuttering. His chest rose and fell, looking a little violent …
"Then, this subordinate searched along the way, and discovered that in the dense forest, there was actually a path that was carved out purely by a strong sword Qi. Wherever the sword Qi passed, all the trees were cut off at the roots, and fell neatly on both sides. Even the width of the path was the same. This level of swordsmanship is really shocking, and can even make ghosts and gods weep! Before this, this subordinate has never seen anyone's sword Qi reach such a level. In fact, it's unheard of! "Gou Buhuan's face was a little frightened.
Zi Jinghong and Xiao Weicheng looked at each other, and saw what the other was thinking: Tian Fa's Heaven's Sword!
"Based on this subordinate's judgement, that shocking sword Qi should have been chasing after someone for such a terrifying result. After a few more turns, there was a cliff in front of us. This subordinate went over to take a look, and saw that the soil on it was clear that there had been a landslide. Furthermore, it shouldn't have happened too long ago. It could have happened at the same time as the battle! That shocking sword Qi extended to here, but it also stopped abruptly. According to this subordinate's judgement, that landslide was very likely caused by someone … But … the scale of the landslide was too big, and this subordinate doesn't dare to confirm it. But logically speaking, it makes sense. "
He thought for a while and said, "This subordinate originally thought that there might be corpses below, and went through a lot of trouble to move the corpses away to check, but there was nothing below, only a pool of blood … So this subordinate boldly speculated that, either the Hermitage brought back all the corpses after the battle, or the Hermitage's entire army was wiped out, and the enemy used a strange method to destroy all the corpses. Judging from the situation at the scene, the second possibility is more likely …"
Although his guess was not far from the truth, it wasn't far from the truth. His observation was meticulous, and his analysis was clear. As expected, he lived up to his reputation of being an expert in reconnaissance.
"Anything else?" Zi Jinghong's face became gloomy and gloomy. Xiao Weicheng's eyes were also gloomy and even a little panicked …
"No … no more …" Gou Buhuan was startled by Zi Jinghong's tone. He had already said it so clearly, what else could there be? If it was someone else investigating, it would definitely not be like this. Why was the leader still not satisfied? But how could he, who had just suffered a brutal beating, dare to make another sound?
"You've done a good job with the investigation. Go and have a rest." Zi Jinghong waved her hand.
"Oh …" Gou Buhuan touched his face and nose, and looked at Zi Jinghong confusedly, which meant, "You're just going to hit me like this?" Since he had completed the mission well, shouldn't he be rewarded?
"Get out of here!" Zi Jing Hong was enraged, and kicked him in the stomach, sending his skinny body flying out like a rubber ball.
Bang! There was the sound of something heavy falling on the ground. Then, Gou Buhuan shouted, "Third Master … I've done my best, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. Why did you hit me … I, I … I'm innocent …" He was indeed innocent. He had traveled such a long distance and brought back such comprehensive and important information. Not only did he not get rewarded, but he was also beaten up for no reason …
Then, someone outside gritted his teeth and said, "You f * cking deserve a beating! Everyone, let's beat him up! "It was the voice of a Superior Supreme Master who was in the room just now …
Then, there was the sound of beating drums outside, dense and powerful. Screams could be heard, "Why did you hit me … Why …?" The aggrieved voice pierced through the cold weather …
One could imagine a person lying on the ground, surrounded by seven or eight people kicking him …
In the room, Zi Jinghong sat quietly with a terrible expression. Xiao Weicheng had the same expression. The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
After a long time, Zi Jinghong said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Xiao, what do you think is the situation?"
Xiao Weicheng took a deep breath and said in a creepy voice, "Your subordinate's information is detailed, unique, and reasonable. Based on this … I'm afraid that the twenty-nine people, including Hermitage Ning Wuqing, have all been wiped out! How … how is this possible? "
His voice was full of horror and surprise.
Zi Jinghong raised his head and was lost in thought. How could he not know this? He was just hoping for the possibility and hoped to get approval from Xiao Weicheng, so he asked this question. Unexpectedly, Xiao Weicheng's judgment was exactly the same as his. After a while, he finally said, "I think so too … Since ancient times, the Three Holy Lands have always been burying the dead. Unless it's an extremely important person who needs to be buried in the Holy Land, there has never been an exception! Although the number of Hermitage's people who died outside these years is very few, there were still a few. Just like the Beast King who attacked the Tian Fa Forest, there were people who died. At that time, we had enough manpower, but we only buried them on the spot and did not go through the trouble of bringing them back to the Holy Land … "
"Yes! Especially the scene described by Gou Buhuan, there must have been people who died at the scene, and I'm afraid there were quite a number of them. Ning Wuqing's remaining manpower may not be enough. Even if there were survivors after the battle, they would only be injured. How would they have the energy to carry the corpses back … It seems that the Hermitage's battle is doomed! "Xiao Weicheng took a deep breath.
"But the only thing I don't understand is that although Venerable Mei has always been hypocritical, she really doesn't look like a bloodthirsty person. Even if she won, or if the Hermitage's power couldn't stop her, she didn't have to be so ruthless … As long as she escaped, how would Ning Wuqing and the rest be able to catch up with her?" Zi Jing Hong furrowed his brows. He could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. "Then there's … Brother Xiao, did you notice this sentence?"
"What?" Xiao Weicheng raised his head and looked at her.
"Just now, Gou Buhuan said, 'When we arrived at the mountain pass, we found that there were traces of a fierce battle about a hundred feet away from the mountain pass.' This sentence is especially puzzling to me. "
Zi Jing Hong furrowed his brows, and pondered hard, "How could such a great battle happen so far away from the mountain pass? Ning Wuqing is astute and astute, he is not inferior to you or me. But why would he give up the mountain pass, which is the best place for an ambush, and jump out instead? To fight head-on at such a far place … Isn't it courting death to fight head-on? If this is useful, why don't we combine our forces and kill him head-on? The reason why we made this interlocking ambush plan, isn't it to be wary of Venerable Mei's extraordinary Qing Gong? But Ning Wuqing jumped out just like that! This is the biggest suspicious point! "
"Err … It's really puzzling." Xiao Weicheng's eyes were evasive, and he felt a little guilty. However, he "knew" why Ning Wu Qing had jumped out to die … Because all of this, could very well have been the result of him "hinting" Ning Wu Qing to do so …
If he didn't hint that Venerable Mei had been seriously injured … Even if Ning Wuqing was given ten thousand guts, he wouldn't be so unwise to jump out like that …
"Brother Xiao …?" Zi Jinghong looked at him with a deep gaze. Xiao Weicheng realized that he was lost in thought … Only then did he realize that Zi Jinghong was looking at him strangely, as if she had seen through him. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Brother Zi, what's the matter?"
Zi Jinghong smiled weirdly, but didn't continue to dwell on this issue. With Zi Jinghong's shrewdness, she could naturally see that Xiao Weicheng's expression wasn't right. Perhaps this guy had a lot to do with the annihilation of Ning Wuqing's troops!
Xiao Weicheng was the first wave of ambushes, and he returned in failure. Moreover, he lost more than half of his men … With such a huge loss, how could Xiao Weicheng not be angry? When they passed by Ning Wuqing's ambush spot, how could Ning Wuqing not ask about the situation of the battle? Xiao Weicheng was exaggerating, that was also true …
If it was him, he would also be unwilling to let his own family suffer such a huge loss without any gains, while the other two families were unscathed … Of course, they might not be able to share blessings, but if there were difficulties … then it would be better to face them together …
However, this fellow was too despicable. He must have sent the 29 experts of the Elusive World of Immortals to the gates of hell with just a few simple words … It seemed that if he were to coexist with this fellow in the future, he would have to be careful. Otherwise, who knew when he would betray him …
"There's another thing I don't understand! It's Venerable Mei's attack … You and I both know that although Venerable Mei is ruthless to other enemies, he has always kept the big picture in mind. Towards the three Holy Lands who participated in the War for Seizing the Heavens, especially those Superior Supreme experts, he has always been merciful and never killed them! But this time, he was abnormally on a killing spree, not sparing any of the people from the Elusive World of Immortals … There must be something fishy about this! But if there's a reason, what reason would cause him to be so heavy-handed? So much so that he doesn't even care about the serious consequences of the War for Seizing the Heavens? "Zi Jinghong pondered and asked her second question.
"It should be Ning Wuqing and the rest who angered Venerable Mei, and did something that Venerable Mei would definitely not be able to tolerate. This can be expected!" Xiao Weicheng heaved a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then the responsibility might not be on him.
"This can indeed be expected. But, how can he anger her? With her cultivation, how would she be easily angered? That day, when Hermitage joined forces with the ten experts to kill her, she did not have any killing intent! Could it be … "Zi Jinghong's eyes lit up." Could it be Jun Moxie? "
