Standing in front of the raging fire, Tan Xiu's eyes seemed to be able to see the scene of the fierce battle before, as well as the figures of those people who wantonly set the fire.
Murder and arson.
It was a felony in today's society, and such things rarely happened. But Tan Xiu didn't expect that such things, which were often encountered in the Immortal World, would actually happen in front of him. And it was because … his enemies were seeking revenge.
"What should we do, Boss?"
A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He had received cruel training since childhood and had risked his life for more than a decade in the flames of war. Encountering such a scene evoked his long-lost fighting desire.
"Find Wang Xuezhong. I want to see him dead or alive," said Tan Xiu.
"We've never seen Wang Xuezhong or even seen his photo. How are we supposed to find him?"
Tan Xiu faintly smiled and his figure instantly soared into the sky. As he flew over the burning dojo, he saw nearly 100 people surrounding an antique building in front of him. He didn't hesitate and instantly appeared on the highest point of the building.
"Who are you?!"
Several shouts came from the nearly 100 people as two ghostly figures instantly appeared in mid-air, standing in the void and staring at Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu glanced at them. Although he was a bit surprised by their cultivation, he ignored them and looked at the courtyard below instead, shouting in a deep voice, "Who's Wang Xuezhong? Come out!"
As he spoke, Mo Awu's group of three also quickly appeared at Tan Xiu's side.
At this moment.
There were only a dozen Qingcheng Monastery experts left in the courtyard, all of them holding their weapons and looking around. The entire courtyard was shrouded by an array formation, but an invisible energy protected everyone inside. Among the dozens of people, a tall and straight old man with a youthful face and white hair had a burst of light in his eyes.
His voice was like a thunderclap.
He heard someone calling his name and heard the enemies outside questioning him. He even saw the people who appeared on the roof, as well as the two enemies standing in the air in front of the building. With just a few words, he immediately determined that the four people on the roof were definitely not on the enemy's side.
The enemy was seeking revenge. He and the remaining dozen or so strongest experts of the Qingcheng Sect were almost in despair. But at this moment, his eyes shone brightly as if he saw a glimmer of hope. Taking two steps forward, Wang Xuezhong looked up at Tan Xiu and shouted, "I am Wang Xuezhong. May I know who you are?"
Tan Xiu looked down at Wang Xuezhong and sized him up. He nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Fortunately, you are still alive. Otherwise, we would have to spend some effort. Tell me, is the Red Silk Flower that your nephew gave you still in your hands? "
Red ribbon?
Wang Xuezhong frowned slightly, but still said, "It's in my hands."
Tan Xiu asked, "You haven't used it yet?"
Wang Xuezhong said, "No."
Tan Xiu said with satisfaction, "Since you still have it, how about we make a deal?"
Wang Xuezhong's expression shifted and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of deal do you want to make, Mister?"
"I'll help you get rid of these people in front of you, and you give me the Red Silk Flower in return," said Tan Xiu. "What do you think of this deal?"
Wang Xuezhong's eyes lit up and he resolutely said, "If you can really help our Qingcheng Sect solve the crisis and kill all these people, I'll definitely give you the Red Silk Flower with both hands."
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and looked at the two men standing in the air in front of him, saying, "I don't know you, but I'm a bit worried that I'll have some dealings with you. Tell me your origin, else you'll really have to sleep in this Qingcheng Mountain today. "
The burly Bai Biao, with a scar on his cheek, coldly stared at Tan Xiu and said, "You don't deserve to know our origin, Mister. I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. Else, it won't be us who will sleep in this Qingcheng Mountain, but you. "
"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for taking your lives." Tan Xiu shook his head. "After all, there's a big gap between your lives and the Red Silk Flower."
As his voice faded away …
Tan Xiu instantly took out four array discs and the four discs flew out. He instantly engraved the array pattern and pushed his hands forward, completing the Four Symbols Array in just a second. After activating the Four Symbols Array, Tan Xiu raised his right arm and shouted, "Draw the Thunder and Release the Electricity!"
Suddenly, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the clear night sky. Without any warning, they struck towards the two people in the Four Beasts Formation. Immediately after, a group of thunder balls emitting blue light quickly descended on the top of the two men's heads the moment the lightning bolts struck the Four Symbols Array.
"Dammit!"
"Bastard!"
Bai Zhen and Bai Biao's complexion greatly changed. Layers of flames appeared out of thin air as two Fire Dragons rushed out of the flames, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws to meet the lightning bolts.
"Boom …"
The dazzling explosion caused most of the people present to be temporarily blinded, and the deafening sound of the explosion made many people's ears buzz. There were nearly a hundred murderous experts around the courtyard. Except for a dozen of them who had the foundation of cultivation and were able to stay safe and sound even though they were constantly retreating, the rest were shaken to the point that their blood and Qi were boiling, causing them to spurt out blood and fall to the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures flickered lightning-fast and quickly dashed to the side of those who fell to the ground. As their swords streaked across the sky, the people who fell to the ground were slashed by the sword lights.
"Crack …"
The Four Symbols Array was destroyed by the violent energy, and the effect of trapping Bai Biao and Bai Zhen disappeared. But as the two Fire Dragons were smashed by the lightning bolts, the explosion of the thunder balls directly bombarded the two brothers to the ground. Their bodies were dyed red with blood. Although the two men managed to save their lives, they lost their combat effectiveness due to serious injuries.
"Who the hell are you?"
After Bai Biao spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood, he angrily raised his head and roared.
"Tsk, tsk." Tang Xiu sighed and clicked his tongue. "I never thought that such a powerful attack wouldn't be able to kill you two. It seems you're only a step away from breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, no? But it's a pity that you can only die today. You don't need to know who I am, because I'm not going to go to your so-called hell. You'll never see me again. "
Bai Zhen struggled to get up from the ground and roared, "Sir, we brothers can find the Red Silk Flower for you if you want it. We were too arrogant just now, I hope you don't mind us, Sir. We brothers came to the Qingcheng Monastery because we have a blood feud with you. "
Tan Xiu touched his chin and asked, "Tell me, what kind of blood feud do you have with the Qingcheng Monastery?"
Bai Zhen's eyes lit up and he loudly said, "Senior, we used to be villagers in Qingcheng Mountain and were recruited by the Qingcheng Monastery to help them buy living supplies from the outside. They treated us six brothers very well at first and we were very satisfied. But a few years later, the Qingcheng Monastery's supervisor in charge of living supplies kept deducting our wages and often bullied us by relying on their martial arts.
"Once, my younger brother, Bai Dong, went to the Qingcheng Monastery to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar and accidentally saw the Qingcheng Monastery's people practicing martial arts. That bastard in charge of living supplies said that my brother secretly learned the Qingcheng Monastery's martial arts and beat him half to death.
"The five of us went to find him to reason with him, but we were also beaten up. Since I was angry, I proposed not to help them buy living supplies in the future. I even said that I would tell others about the existence of the Qingcheng Monastery out of anger. Because of that, the Qingcheng Monastery's people wanted to kill us.
"We had a total of six brothers, and we were either blood brothers or cousins. In the end, they killed four of us. Only my fourth brother and I, Bai Biao, managed to escape and fell off the cliff. We were lucky enough to save our lives.
"All these years, we dragged out an ignoble existence and lived an ignoble life. We obtained a cultivation technique by chance and greatly improved our strength. Then we crossed the ocean and fled abroad, where we met our Master, Dao Master Poison. All these years, the two of us brothers have been thinking about revenge all the time. "
"Senior, do you think it's wrong for us to come to the Qingcheng Monastery to take revenge?"
Tan Xiu fell into silence. He could understand this kind of hatred. Let alone them, if he were in their shoes, he would probably be more ruthless than them.
Originally …
He wanted to kill these people in front of him, but after hearing the whole story, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
In the courtyard.
The Qingcheng Monastery's Abbot, Lin Tong, strode a few steps forward and sternly shouted, "You scoundrels are talking nonsense! That's pure slander! In the past, the six of you hid in our Qingcheng Monastery and secretly learned martial arts. You even stole our Qingcheng Monastery's ancient martial arts manuals, so we sent people to hunt you down and snatch back our martial arts manuals. "
"Bullshit!" Bai Zhen angrily cursed. "We brothers may be hunters, but we never had any extravagant hope of practicing martial arts. We never stole your Qingcheng Monastery's ancient martial arts manuals. It was your Qingcheng Monastery's steward who personally stuffed that ancient martial arts manual into my brother's arms when he killed him. Although I was running for my life at that time, I saw it clearly. "
"What?"
The Qingcheng Monastery's experts in the courtyard glanced at each other in dismay. At that time, they only knew from the steward's report that the six fellows who usually helped the Qingcheng Monastery buy daily necessities outside had stolen their Qingcheng Monastery's ancient martial arts manuals, so they sent people to hunt them down.
How …
How did it turn into a false accusation?
Bai Zhen raised his hand to wipe the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and angrily said, "I don't need to deceive you, Senior, nor do I want to lie. The reason why that steward wanted to kill us was not entirely because of the threats I said when I was angry. The steward's daughter fell in love with my brother, which was the main reason why he wanted to get rid of us. At that time, he said that his daughter must at least marry a high-ranking disciple of the Qingcheng Monastery. Am I right? Mu Baizhi. "
In an instant.
The eyes of more than a dozen people in the courtyard were all focused on a middle-aged woman in a Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk. Tan Xiu followed everyone's gaze and also looked at the charming middle-aged woman.
