Chapter 269 Leaving Qixia
The moment Su Ziyi rushed out, Bian Qing's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Su Ziyi's action was sudden and he did not inform anyone. It wasn't until Su Ziyi grabbed the things and ran away that Bian Qing and Su Yulang realized what Su Ziyi was really thinking. After seeing the person safely disappearing into the dense forest, they relaxed and crouched back again.
Even so, when Su Ziyi came back, he was greeted by Bian Qing's cold face.
Immediately, Su Ziyi leaned over with a shy face.
He knew what he did was wrong and a little too reckless. It's just that when they arrived, the two groups were already fighting to the last minute. He didn't have much time to think about it carefully and discuss it with Bian Qing. So the moment he saw Qingshui Lianxin was about to mature, he couldn't sit still at all and rushed over without thinking.
Fortunately the result was pretty good.
However, results are results, and an apology is necessary. "Sorry, I was reckless." Bian Qing glared at Su Ziyi and wanted to turn around and ignore him. But he didn't expect that Su Ziyi's direct spiritual consciousness made him unable to avoid it. His feeling of embarrassment and embarrassment became even more intense in an instant, and he even let out a moderate hum in his nose.
When Su Ziyi apologized to Bian Qing, the foundation-building cultivator had finished his troubles and came back with Shuang'er.
However, he was so angry that the man had his head lowered as he walked, and his steps were heavy and fast. Shuang'er, who was following him, always kept a foot away from him. He also had his head lowered, his figure was awkward, and he looked quite scared. The woman who had been guarding the shore was frightened. When they approached and looked over, she discovered a red slap mark on Shuang'er's face.
Thinking about it, it was their husband who directly took his anger out on Shuang'er.
Seeing this, the woman didn't dare to get close to the man anymore, and hunched her shoulders and hid behind Shuang'er. When Shuang'er saw her action, his eyes were full of sarcasm, but if anyone looked carefully, they would definitely be able to read resentment in his eyes.
The clear water lotus heart is gone, and other things cannot be released.
After returning to the shore, the man meditated directly on the spot. Before closing his eyes and practicing to recover from his injuries, he also directed his children to jump into the pool and retrieve the things from the dead foundation-building practitioner. Shuang'er didn't dare to have any objections to this, and jumped directly into the water the moment the man spoke.
The three people of the Su family, who had seen all this, felt indifferent in their hearts.
Bian Qing had already developed a courageous heart when he was a servant in a noble family, so he was not surprised by the man's behavior. His cold face calmed down a little until he felt a warm feeling on his hand. He didn't lower his head to look, but curled his fingers to grasp the warmth in his hand. He knew that it was Su Ziyi's. hand.
Seeing that Bian Qing did not reject his approach, Su Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The three people didn't stay at the pool for too long. After Shuang'er fished out all the things, the man took all the things in his hands and got up and left first. Behind him, Shuang'er, who was all wet, was carrying the pale woman on his back, and followed silently. Even though his steps were a little difficult, he didn't say a word of request, gritted his teeth and followed.
After they left, the three Su family members also left.
Su Ziyi and the others did not leave in the direction of the three people, but chose another direction to head down the mountain. And for some unknown reason, there were more traces of cultivators' activities here than anywhere else they had visited before. Within an hour of going out, they once again discovered several people who were hunting a third-level monster. Practitioner.
The previous deadly fight between the two groups alerted Su Ziyi and the others, so when facing these people, they did not show up easily. Instead, they walked around after making sure that there was nothing particularly exciting around them. However, it didn't take long for them to encounter several groups of cultivators one after another.
"What's going on?"
"Look -" Su Ziyi quickly figured it out when his spiritual consciousness was released. He pointed to a spiritual grass at their feet and said, "The land here is very fertile. The spiritual power is also very sufficient, which is very suitable for the growth of various spiritual grasses and monsters, and it is naturally easy to attract cultivators." Even though the spiritual grass at their feet is not a precious thing, it can grow into this Looks like it's not easy anymore.
"It seems to be the case." After hearing this, Bian Qing and Su Yulang also released their spiritual consciousness and searched carefully, and found that it was indeed the case.
"Moreover, have you noticed?" Su Ziyi subconsciously tapped the hilt of his sword: "All the practitioners we met along the way were practitioners from aristocratic families, and none of them were government officials or casual practitioners." He thought about it. Marking on the map, it turned out that there was no special mark on the map, it was just an extra grass.
"It feels like being trapped by people from aristocratic families." Bian Qing said.
"Yeah." Su Ziyi hummed casually, but his mind was thinking about other things. After confirming that there was nothing worth attacking around, they bypassed this group of people again and headed forward. As a result, as if to verify that their guess was correct, they saw more and more spiritual herbs on the road and met more and more cultivators, all of whom were members of aristocratic families.
Occasionally they found traces of officials or casual cultivators, but all they saw were a few cold corpses, and judging from the degree of decomposition, it was estimated that they had been dead for several days.
This couldn't help but refresh their view of the family's bottom line.
Judging from the wounds on the corpses, the killers were extremely skilled and their cultivation should not be underestimated, and there were more than one person. In this regard, Su Ziyi and the others became more and more cautious, fearing that they might disturb the master hiding in the dark without paying attention, causing their trip to the swamp realm to overturn.
In this way, they spent three days in this area.
In these three days, they gained a lot even though they were hiding. Although the rarity is not as high as before, the quantity and variety are enough to make people jealous. Looking at the pile of spiritual herbs in the storage bag, Su Ziyi couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the people from the aristocratic family would circle this area. No one would give up on a place where such good and many spiritual herbs can grow. ah.
Seeing that there were more and more aristocratic families around, and it was unrealistic to break through these people and leave the area, Su Ziyi and the others gave up completely and decided to spend the last two days in the water realm here.
Two days passed quickly, and when a thick fog appeared in front of them, the three of the Su family realized that the twenty days in the water realm were over.
After each of them hurriedly took a Miasma Powder, the three members of the Su family chose a random direction and left quickly.
After the Shuizhu Realm was closed, the miasma concentration in the middle layer was also decreasing at a very fast rate. It didn't take long for the visibility to return to the level before the Shuizhu Realm was opened, and it was getting lighter and lighter. I don’t know how long the miasma in the middle layer can persist before it is assimilated by the outer layer.
The weather was good that day, and even when they reached the edge of the miasma, the sky was still full of stars, and they could still identify their direction by the positions of the stars.
I will never go back to Qixia Town, and the road ahead has already been planned.
Therefore, after figuring out the direction, Su Ziyi and the others left in a direction outside the Fallen Immortal Forest without any pause.
Over there is their new life.
On the Su Mansion side, Su Linyu took people back to the house as soon as he was ejected from the water realm. As soon as they returned to the house, they immediately asked the servants: "Have the fifth elders come back?" After the farce in the black desert, they had not found any trace of the fifth elders. Even if they did not say it out, the uneasiness lingering above their heads More and more.
"Master, I didn't see the fifth elder come back." The servant lowered his head and said respectfully.
Su Linyu and Su Zisu's faces instantly darkened. After letting the servants go down, Su Linyu let the others go to rest. He sat in the main hall and didn't know what he was thinking. And Su Zisu did not go down to rest as he said, but stood silently beside him, hiding in the shadows and watching everything indifferently.
Time flies by and it will be dawn soon.
But until noon, Su Linyu and the others did not wait to return to the fifth elder. This time, they were completely uneasy.
Su Linyu called over the servant who had been monitoring the Su family, and eagerly asked him about the Su family's recent movements. As a result, I was told that the Su family had not returned recently, and only people from the Xiang Mansion had entered.
Su Zisu, who was most concerned about the whereabouts of the fifth elder, could not sit still for a while, and looked at Su Linyu with a confused face: "Master..."
"Don't worry."
After all, he was the master of the house, and Su Linyu was much calmer than Su Zisu: "Wait a moment." Although he said this, he actually had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, only the three of them knew what the fifth elders were doing that day to deal with the three people of the Su family, and others had no way of knowing.
Therefore, the fifth elder had not returned to the Su Mansion for so long, and his sword was inexplicably broken in the water. It was difficult not to make him wonder whether something unexpected had happened to the fifth elder.
But if the fifth elder really dies, who will do it?
Su Linyu had no answer in his mind.
He didn't think that Su Ziyi's family was capable of doing it, after all, the distance in cultivation was just there. As for the mysterious master behind Su Ziyi? Their actions were secret, it couldn't be such a coincidence...
Just as he was investigating the murderer in his mind, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. He and Su Zisu looked up and found that they were actually the guards guarding their home. At this moment, the guard's face was full of anxiety and sweat. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he immediately knelt down and packed his luggage towards Su Linyu, and said urgently: "Master, the elders are calling, the fifth elder's soul card is cracked!"
Chapter 270 Zhang Wu was arrested
What!
Even though he had been prepared in his heart, Su Linyu still felt dizzy when he heard the confirmed news.
The person who was even more excited than him was Su Zisu. He rushed over to the guard almost as soon as he said the words, grabbed the other person's clothes with one hand and lifted him into the air, and said with splitting eyes: "What did you say?" There were veins on his clenched fists. It must be obvious that if this person says a wrong word, he will beat him up viciously.
Naturally, the guards would not ignore such obvious malice.
Even though his face was red and his neck was thick, he kept his mouth tightly closed, not daring to say a word, for fear that the other party would kill him directly in anger. Fortunately, Su Linyu had woken up from his daze and shouted: "Put him down." In just a few blinks, he turned back into the calm and self-possessed head of the family.
Su Zisu was unmoved.
"I said, put the person down." Su Linyu's face sank, and he couldn't help but be intimidating when he spoke. The spiritual power turned into thorns and stabbed Su Zisu's back, causing him to finally wake up. His eyes trembled, and as soon as he loosened his grip, he threw the person out the door like trash. After the guard rolled on the ground several times, he quickly got up and knelt on all fours, not daring to make a sound.
"Master." Su Zisu turned around and looked at Su Linyu, his voice was sad, his eyes were hollow, as if his soul had been taken away.
Su Linyu sighed, suppressed the little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, stood up and walked forward, until he walked up to the guard kneeling on the ground, and asked condescendingly: "When did it happen?" "Go home
. Lord, it's... it's... it's the first day of September." Even though he tried hard to warn himself not to panic, he was still trembling when he replied.
"The first day of September..." Su Linyu squinted his eyes. When Su Zisu, who was standing behind him, heard this, his expression changed even more: "How is that possible?" His face was filled with panic. Apparently he didn't expect that the fifth elder had died before entering the water realm? He didn't want to believe it, but the soul card couldn't be faked, so in a daze, there was only one question in his mind: Who made it?
Su Linyu was also thinking about this issue, and he thought about it more deeply than Su Zisu.
He called the housekeeper back and issued several orders in an extremely calm manner, and soon the entire Su Mansion started to move. Almost all the guards and cultivators in the mansion were informed of the matter. Some hid in the streets to inquire about the matter, while others returned to the Fallen Immortal Forest, searching every inch of the land.
After Su Linyu ordered all these things, Su Zisu, who had been acting like a fool, came back to his senses.
When Su Linyu turned around, he suddenly rushed to the front and knelt down: "Zisu, please kindly ask the master of the family to allow me to enter the Meteor Immortal Forest to investigate." His eyes were already red and his voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he was emotionally shocked. When Su Linyu saw him like this, although he felt unhappy, his face was still not so cold and ruthless. He nodded: "You go ahead." Anyway, the matter was a foregone conclusion. It just depends on how
Su Zisu left.
If he can get out, then what is his is his; if he can't get out, although it is a pity, there is nothing he can do... The Su Mansion cannot be left in the hands of someone with too much personal emotions.
There was such a big commotion in the Su Mansion, so naturally it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of other forces.
In Xiangfu Villa, Old Doctor Wu and Granny Weng were sipping tea with solemn expressions. They had already learned from Xiang Zuo what the Su family was up to these days. Originally, they had just heard about this kind of thing and got over it, so they didn't need to take it too seriously. They just thought that Su Ziyi's family also had nearly one person. Yue lost news, and they inevitably had some bad thoughts in their minds about what happened in Su's house.
"Probably not." After such a long relationship, Granny Weng had already had a great impression of Su Ziyi, a kind and studious young man, not to mention that Su Ziyi later helped her get a life-extending pill. Therefore, as soon as she heard that the fifth elder of the Su family had entered the Meteor Immortal Forest and knew about the conflict between the Su family and Su Ziyi, she never relaxed her brows.
"I don't know either." Old Doctor Wu sighed and pinched the root of his nose with a headache: "We can only hope not."
He had also heard of the name of the fifth elder of the Su Mansion. If Su Ziyi really Faced with such ruthless people, he didn't think highly of Su Ziyi in his heart, unless Su Ziyi's master took action. But... there is still a long distance from Luoshan Village to Qixia Town. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. Can Su Ziyi and his family really be safe?
With the three people of the Su family as the center, everyone related to them is concerned about the development of things.
It's just that as time goes by, both the fifth elder of the Su family and the three Su family members seem to have evaporated from this world. Fewer and fewer people take this matter to heart, and soon... Only the Su and Xiang mansions were paying attention to this matter.
Before the frost arrived, the major forces that came to Qixia Town looking for opportunities had already left one after another.
Although Su Mansion's Su Zisu was unwilling to do so, Qixia Town was not their territory. After returning without success several times, he was reminded openly or secretly by the aristocratic families stationed here that it was time to leave. Therefore, when the day of frost came, he had no choice but to leave angrily behind Su Linyu who was going back to take charge of the overall situation.
However, before leaving, Su Linyu left a few people in Qixia Town, asking the other party to notify them immediately if they found anything wrong.
During this period, the attention of all concerned people was drawn away by the disappearance of the fifth elder of the Su family. No one noticed that a family named Zhang was missing in the east city of Qixia Town.
"Gulu-lu-Gulu-"
The sound of the carriage wheels was very abrupt in the silent wilderness, especially when it hit the stones on the road, the sound was even more harsh. It's just that there are no homes for more than ten miles before and after this road, so no one will complain about it. As for the people on the carriage? Now that their hearts and eyes are full of panic, how can they still pay attention to this?
Zhang Wu almost shrank into a ball. It wasn't that he didn't want to move outside, but the injuries on his body were too painful, and his hands and feet were tied. He couldn't move at all, so he could only endure the injury. His eyes were like knives, pretending to be deaf and dumb. On the other side of the carriage, there was another group of shadows curled up. The owner of that shadow was indifferent to everything in the carriage, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.
So, in the entire carriage, only the man with a broken leg lying in the middle looked at Zhang Wuyou with an angry look on his face: "You bitch .
"
If any disturbance arose, he seemed not to hear it, and the man continued to curse him. And his indifference soon made the man feel bored, and he stopped scolding him after a while. But when the wheel hit the small stone again, the pain on his body jumped, and his anger was detonated again. , with a ferocious face, started another round of scolding.
Outside, the faces of the guards responsible for guarding them were full of ridicule.
They are all the guards of the family and have always been arrogant. Only then was Su Linyu arranged to investigate the affairs of Su Ziyi's family. He was already holding a fire in his heart, but he didn't expect to follow the clues and find an interesting thing. He discovered that the two wives of a family named Zhang who had contact with the Su family had actually been together for a long time. He was the bodyguard of the Zhang family, an aristocratic family that was wiped out, and the man with a broken leg in the family was the legitimate son of the Zhang family. He immediately figured out his plans in his mind.
Because the Zhang family was in front, they had no intention of investigating the Li Yu family, who were completely ordinary people. After confirming that the other party did not even know how high Su Ziyi's cultivation level was, they gave up on the Li family and put all their thoughts on it. It’s up to the Zhang family.
As expected, Su Linyu was also very happy about this unexpected surprise for the Zhang family.
Along the way after tying the person away, these guards would find fault with the Zhang family's legitimate son out of boredom. They would laugh out loud at the way the other person dragged his broken leg to avoid making things difficult for him.
On the contrary, Zhang Wu and Zhang Qilin, who had been silent, ignored them because prey that did not resist was too boring.
"A cripple, a child, and a twin, why do you think the family master wants us to take them back to Chucheng?" Among the guards, not all are boring people who like to tease others, but there are also some who like to figure out the family master's intentions. Person: "I couldn't get any useful information out of their mouths even after being tortured before. What can I do if I take them back?" "
You don't understand this." The person he was questioning was an older guard. , has been working in the Su Mansion for decades, and naturally knows more things than him: "From the owner's point of view, it is naturally good to ask for something useful. If you don't ask, it is also good to take the person back. This is a great achievement, let other aristocratic families take a good look at the fate of being separated from the protection of the aristocratic family alliance."
Hearing this, the young guard did not speak for a while, and after a long time he muttered: "What a bunch of lunatics." His voice was very low, As if he was afraid of being overheard.
The older guard had good ears and naturally heard his mumblings. He said nothing and smiled.
Who says it's not?
Su Linyu was anxious to go back and take charge of the overall situation, and he didn't want too many people to know that he had transferred to the Zhang family bloodline, so he specially asked these dozen guards to escort people behind him, and waited until he could arrange everything in Chucheng. After that, it’s time for the people here to arrive. So along the way, they walked slowly.
"Let's rest in front later." They are all cultivators. Although their cultivation is not very high, there is nothing terrible about walking on such a road, so they are quite courageous.
"Set up camp early today. We'll take the main road tomorrow. We'll reach Tianyi Town in less than half a day. Then we'll find a place to take a good wash." The older guard dismounted and ordered.
"Okay." No one had any objections to this.
Although this group of people are all good players in the Su Mansion, this is their first time coming to Qixia Town, so they don't know that the mountains and forests on both sides of the road from Tianyi Town to Qixia Town are full of ruthless bandits.
