Three days later, at midnight, on the official road from Linzhong Commandery to Daishan Commandery, a team of dozens of people was slowly moving forward.
They were the people of the Zhang family of Linzhong Commandery.
To be honest, the Zhang family had been living a miserable life in Linzhong Commandery in recent years. Of course, they could not blame others for this. They could only blame themselves for going too far in the past.
In the past, when the Zhang family was strong, they were famous in the whole East Yan, not to mention the entire Linzhong Commandery. They were one step away from becoming one of the nine great families in Jianghu.
At that time, the Zhang family was very overbearing and offended many people. As a result, when the Zhang family weakened, it was naturally the turn of other forces to hit them when they were down.
Over the years, the Zhang family had been suppressed by other forces in Linzhong Commandery. Not much of their past heritage was left. It was simply getting more and more dilapidated year by year. Therefore, the Zhang family had been thinking of a way out for a long time.
Originally, they did not take the collateral branches in Daishan Commandery seriously. However, later they gradually found that they were doing better than the direct descendants. This made the Zhang family of Linzhong Commandery have some other ideas. They wanted to communicate with the other side.
Previously, they still had the idea of contacting the other side. They did not expect things to go so smoothly. The Zhang family in Daishan Commandery directly agreed to let them move to Daishan Commandery.
This time, the Zhang family mainly sent some masters and direct descendants with some of the more valuable treasures of the Zhang family. The rest of the ordinary materials and clansmen would only come with them after they arrived in Daishan Commandery and settled everything.
The head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Yuanfeng, looked around but didn't find any inn. There seemed to be a dilapidated temple on a small hill not far away. There was still a faint light of fire in the temple. There should be people resting in the temple. Zhang Yuanfeng said to the others, "It's getting late. Let's not leave for now. Let's rest in the dilapidated temple tonight."
As he said this, he led the other warriors of the Zhang family to the broken temple on the hill.
At this time, in the broken temple, Chu Xiu, Fire Slave, and Wolf King were setting up a bonfire and roasting three chickens.
Fire Slave was in charge of roasting. While roasting, he sprinkled all kinds of seasonings on the roasted chicken. After a while, a rich aroma wafted out.
The Wolf King praised from the side, "Your culinary skills are really good. If your martial arts are crippled one day, you won't starve to death even if you become a cook."
Fire Slave glanced at him and said, "If you still dare to speak like this after being crippled, I guarantee that you will be beaten to death the next day."
The fire slave looked at Chu Xiu and said proudly, "Brother Chu, it tastes good, right? When I was a slave in the Western Region, I learned this from the Sacred Fire Race. At that time, I was a slave in charge of roasting meat for them. It was a good job. Other slaves didn't even have enough to eat, but I could eat until my mouth was full.
It's also because of this that I was able to secretly learn the Sacred Flame race's cultivation technique and quickly cultivate to Blood Condensation before escaping.
Otherwise, how can they cultivate if they don't even have enough to eat? "
Fire Slave had never cared about his background. Practically everyone in the Heavenly Sin branch knew about it.
Of course, that was only because he didn't care. If someone dared to joke about his background, they would know just how terrifying his methods were.
To the side, the Wolf King suddenly said, "The Zhang family should have arrived, right? What if they haven't come to rest in this broken temple? "
Chu Xiu indifferently said, "If they haven't arrived, then they haven't arrived. Once we're full, we'll directly chase after them and kill them."
The Wolf King shrugged. Having an expert overseeing things was really different. The mission was easily carried out.
At this time, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "They're here. The Zhang family's people have come up the mountain."
Because he cultivated the Heaven Extinguishing Earth Soul Shifting Art, his perception was much higher than the Wolf King and Fire Slave's.
Fire Slave laughed mischievously, "There's no rush. Let's eat first."
After a while, the Zhang family's people all came up the mountain. When they opened the door to the temple, they saw three people roasting food.
Because they were preparing to eat, the bamboo hats and masks were a bit in the way, so the three of them had put them behind their backs. They had also withdrawn their auras. At a glance, Chu Xiu's group of three only had the strength of Body Tempering or Blood Condensation.
One of the Zhang family's youths looked around the temple and felt that it was a bit small. He couldn't help looking at Chu Xiu and taking out a silver ingot, he coldly snorted, "You three, get out of the way."
Zhang Yuanfeng frowned, "First come, first served. They came here first, so why are we chasing them away? No matter how small this place is, it's enough for you to sleep. Don't cause trouble. "
The youth could only take back the silver ingot and unhappily said, "Yes, father."
The Zhang family's people all stayed on the other side of the temple. Zhang Yuanfeng glanced at Chu Xiu's group of three. He felt that there was something wrong with them.
Ordinary low level cultivators would definitely be scared to the point that they would take the initiative to get out of the way when they saw so many experts. However, these three seemed to completely ignore them. Their attention was completely focused on the roast chicken, as if they weren't as attractive as the roast chicken.
However, Zhang Yuanfeng didn't think too much about it. The older cultivators of Jianghu were all old foxes. On the other hand, the younger ones were more spirited and arrogant, thinking that they wouldn't fear authority. Only after falling a few times did they learn what it meant to be awed.
Chu Xiu's group of three looked very young. Zhang Yuanfeng thought that the three of them were inexperienced and inexperienced cultivators, so he didn't pay much attention to them. After a few days of traveling, he was also a little tired. He instructed the others to eat their rations and go to bed.
At this time, the chicken on Chu Xiu's side was also roasted. The tempting aroma was getting stronger and stronger. The Zhang family's young master glanced at the dry rations in his hand and immediately lost interest. He took out silver ingots and threw them at the feet of Chu Xiu's group. He said loudly, "The silver ingots are yours. Bring the roast chicken over."
However, Chu Xiu's group of three acted as if they didn't see the silver ingots. They directly took the roast chicken and bit into it.
Seeing this scene, the Zhang family's young master was immediately enraged. He wanted to flare up, but he was stopped by Zhang Yuanfeng.
"Have you forgotten what I told you at home? Don't cause trouble! Otherwise, you will be punished according to the family rules! "
Seeing his father speak, the Zhang family's young master could only glare fiercely at Chu Xiu's group of three and bite into the tasteless rations in his hand.
Seeing his son's behavior, Zhang Yuanfeng also sighed helplessly.
In fact, when Zhang Yuanfeng was young, he was even more overbearing and arrogant than his son. However, as he grew older, the Zhang family also declined year by year. He also understood that the Zhang family couldn't continue like this.
In the past, the Zhang family had been too arrogant and overbearing. They had made too many enemies, which led to the decline of the Zhang family. Once they were in decline, countless people would kick them when they were down.
Therefore, when they left home this time, he had already told the Zhang family's disciples that they had to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.
The Zhang family's reputation in Linzhong County was already bad. If they were to go to Mount Tai County, there would be no place for them to stay at all.
Unfortunately, habits couldn't be changed in a short period of time. Looking at his son's current behavior was proof.
After a quarter of an hour, Chu Xiu and the others also finished their roast chicken. The three of them wiped their hands, took out the bamboo hats and masks behind them, and slowly put them on.
This scene fell into the eyes of the Zhang family's people, causing their movements to gradually stiffen.
At first, they didn't react because the black warrior suit wasn't considered special. There were many martial artists in the pugilistic world who wore it.
However, when the black warrior suit was matched with the black iron bamboo hat and black iron mask with golden patterns, three words involuntarily appeared in their minds.
Blue Dragon Society!
This group of people actually sat together with three Blue Dragon Society assassins for such a long time!
At this moment, Zhang Yuanfeng was even more shocked than the others.
Although the Zhang family had declined, they still had a foundation. Therefore, it could be said that they were quite familiar with the rules of the Blue Dragon Society.
Ordinary assassins of the Blue Dragon Society would only wear a black iron mask, and those with patterns on the mask were the assassins with code names. The true elites of the Blue Dragon Society. Zhang Yuanfeng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chu Xiu adjusted the bamboo hat on his head, picked up the knife, and said faintly, "After eating and drinking, it's time to kill."
With that said, he turned his gaze to Zhang Yuanfeng and the others, "Everyone should also be full, right? It's not bad to go down and be a full ghost. "
The moment Chu Xiu's voice fell, Zhang Yuanfeng had already jumped up. The long sword in his hand carried a hot aura, as strong as fire, and directly slashed at Chu Xiu!
"Do it!"
Zhang Yuanfeng shouted, but unfortunately, the Zhang family's Inner Strong Realm martial artists behind him seemed to be a little slow. They didn't react in time, which led to Zhang Yuanfeng rushing at Chu Xiu alone.
The crimson knife light flashed in front of Zhang Yuanfeng's eyes. Azure Dragon in the Sleeve, Diving Abyss to Sea!
This extremely fast saber strike arrived first even though it was launched later. A loud bang rang out as the saber and sword collided. A sinister and bloody baleful aura suddenly erupted. It was an extremely dense baleful aura. As Chu Xiu slaughtered more people, the baleful aura condensed from his Piercing the Sun and Moon Technique grew stronger.
Even when he stepped into the Inner Strong Realm, he could even condense the blood aura on the surface of the weapon, which was far more powerful than ordinary Gang Qi.
An extremely chilling and bloody aura erupted. Zhang Yuanfeng's body was unable to withstand the powerful force and was forced to retreat. His sword-wielding hand trembled, and blood flowed uncontrollably from the webbing between his thumb and index finger. However, before he could defend himself, Chu Xiu's figure followed him like a shadow, closely following him. The drizzle was crimson red, and the extremely magnificent sword intent descended like a continuous drizzle. Zhang Yuanfeng, who was within it, felt a ferocious killing intent and death intent assaulting him.
