Chapter 56: The Sect Master’s Handwriting
Among all abilities, what Luo Xiu is best at is speed.
Except for martial arts masters who are innate or above, Luo Xiu is confident that he is not weaker than any martial artist in the Qi Sea realm in terms of speed.
Therefore, the last young warrior who followed him still failed to escape from this uninhabited and dark alley.
With his body pressed against the cold wall, the young warrior's back was soaked with cold sweat. His eyes were full of fear, because the sharp tip of a black war sword was between his eyebrows. There was less than half an inch left.
"Two of your companions have been killed by me. If you want to survive, just answer my question!" Luo Xiu's cold and emotionless voice sounded.
The young warrior nodded desperately, because he was too nervous and afraid to say anything, lest he would be killed by this ruthless guy if he reacted half a beat too slowly.
"What's your name? Who ordered you to follow me? How is my family doing now? Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?..."
Luo Xiu asked the questions he needed to know one after another.
"I am a disciple of the Xiaoyao outer sect, my name is Huo Lin, and the two dead men were my senior brothers, both disciples of the outer sect's deacon Shen Gaojian..."
Huo Lin did not dare to hesitate and revealed everything he knew.
"I've said everything I know, please don't kill me..." Huo Lin kept begging for mercy.
Luo Xiu returned the Shadow Sword to its sheath and said expressionlessly: "I said I won't kill you until I kill you."
After the words fell, just when Huo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Xiu suddenly struck out with a palm, hitting his Dantian, destroying his cultivation.
Huo Lin's eyes widened, then his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
After killing two people and destroying one, there was no mercy in Luo Xiu's eyes. Since these people wanted to deal with him, they would have to bear the consequences and price.
"Outer deacon Shen Gaojian?"
Luo Xiu frowned. According to the information he learned from Huo Lin, Shen Gaojian didn't seem to have a good relationship with Zhang Luliang. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been entrusted by Zhang Luliang to deal with him.
Not only that, Luo Xiu also learned that his parents and sister had been controlled and were currently being imprisoned in the Martial Palace. The original master of Qingyun Martial Palace had been removed, and Shen Gaojian was temporarily acting as the master of the palace. .
There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy against Luo Xiu. Not only his parents and sisters, but also the master of Qingyun Palace are also implicated.
"Then Shen Gaojian is the deacon of the outer sect, and he is at least a strong man at the seventh level of innateness. With my strength, trying to go to the Martial Palace to save people is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."
Luo Xiu forced himself to calm down to prevent him from making impulsive actions that would cause irreparable consequences.
He was sure that there should be informants all over Qingyun City. In a short period of time, the enemy might not know that he came to Qingyun City through the teleportation array, but with the disappearance of the three Huo Lins, the enemy should be able to deduce that he was already there. We are now in Qingyun City.
Luo Xiu knew very well that even if he killed Huolin and then destroyed his body, he would not have much time left.
Taking out the bamboo hat he had practiced in Baqi Mountain from the storage ring, Luo Xiu did not go to Qingyun Martial Hall, but returned to the Hunter's Guild in the city.
The four forces, the Hunters Guild, the Formation Masters Guild, the Forgeers Guild, and the Alchemists Guild, actually have a transcendent status in Yunlong County and even the entire Tianwu Kingdom.
It seems that Xiaoyaomen's status is superior to that of the guild, but in fact it is just because there is no real conflict of interest between them.
At Xiaoyaowaimen, Luo Xiu heard someone say that the branches of the four major guilds are spread all over the world. The influence of the four major guilds exists in every large-scale city in the entire Tianwu Kingdom, and even in other countries outside Tianwu.
In Yunlong County, even if the head of Xiaoyao meets the presidents of the four major guilds, he must treat them with courtesy.
Fighting and fighting are prohibited in the Hunter Guild, so when Luo Xiu came here, at least as long as he didn't step out of here, no one would dare to attack him in the guild hall.
…
Qingyun Martial Palace.
One of the deacons of Xiaoyaowaimen, Shen Gaojian is tall and tall, with broad hands and a ferocious scar like a centipede on the left side of his face.
Sitting on the seat of the Lord of the Martial Palace, he looked at the two corpses with a gloomy face, as well as Huo Lin, who was in a coma after his cultivation was abolished.
"Palace Master, these three people were found in an alley in the city. Luo Xiu should have returned to Qingyun City."
A middle-aged man in brocade suddenly said, and this man was none other than the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Shaohai.
"He should have used the Hunters Guild's teleportation array to come here." Shen Gaojian nodded, looked at Zhang Shaohai, and said, "You can lead a team of blue-armored guards to guard near the Hunters Guild. Once Luo Xiu is found, Show up and kill without mercy!”
"Yes!" Zhang Shaohai responded and went to make arrangements.
Shen Gaojian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said: "A few people will come and drag these three corpses out and bury them."
Several Qingjia guards walked in outside the hall and found that one of them was not a corpse, but just unconscious.
But these Qingjia guards did not dare to ask any more questions and carefully followed Shen Gaojian's instructions.
A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Gaojian's mouth. He liked the feeling of others being afraid of him. This time, he came to Qingyun City with the oracle on it. Even the Master of Qingyun Palace, who had a higher level of cultivation than himself, You must obediently hand over the power of the Lord of the Martial Palace.
…
Hunters Guild.
Wearing a bamboo hat on his head, Luo Xiu came to the counter.
The person in charge of reception at the counter was still Jiang Shanshan, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Hunters Guild branch of Qingyun City.
"Beauty, I want to see Elder Zhuang Nantian." Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.
He didn't know many people in Qingyun City. The master of Qingyun Palace had been seized of power and was missing. The only thing he knew was that in addition to being an elder of the Martial Palace, Zhuang Nantian was also an elder of the Hunters Guild branch.
Jiang Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sir, please tell me what your relationship is with Elder Zhuang, so that I can pass it on to you."
"I am Elder Zhuang's junior, you only need to ask Luo Xiu to see me."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Jiang Shanshan said with a smile.
Wait... Luo Xiu? I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the man wearing a bamboo hat suspiciously and couldn't remember for a while.
"Beauty, what's the problem?" Luo Xiu said. He was wearing a bamboo hat, so Jiang Shanshan naturally couldn't recognize him.
"Ah...I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Jiang Shanshan came to her senses, quickly called someone to take charge of the reception, and then went to report the matter to Elder Zhuang.
"A group of blue-armored guards came outside. I wonder why these guys came to the Hunters Guild."
"I heard that something happened in Qingyun Martial Palace recently. Who knows what happened."
"The Hunters' Guild prohibits fighting. Not to mention a team of blue-armored guards, even the master of the Martial Palace would not dare to cause trouble here."
"Hehe, don't look at it. We are just a small branch of the Hunters Guild. The president in charge, I heard, is a powerful martial arts master!"
Luo Xiu heard the discussion of several hunters, and his expression under the bamboo hat couldn't help but become a little solemn. It was obvious that Shen Gaojian already knew about his arrival in Qingyun City.
However, there were actually strong martial arts masters in the Hunters Guild, which surprised Luo Xiu. At the same time, he could see how powerful the Hunters Guild was.
After a while, Jiang Shanshan came back, "Elder Zhuang asked me to take Mr. Zhu there, please come with me."
Luo Xiu nodded, and immediately led by Jiang Shanshan, he arrived at the door of a room in the Hunters Guild.
Pushing the door open, Luo Xiu saw two people sitting in the room. One of them was Zhuang Nantian, and the other one, to Luo Xiu's surprise, was actually the Master of Qingyun Palace!
Jiang Shanshan completed her mission and turned to leave, but she was still wondering why she was familiar with Luo Xiu.
After a while, she suddenly remembered... was it him? That young boy who he said he wanted to pursue?
in the room.
Luo Xiu took off his bamboo hat and saluted, "I have met the master of the palace, Elder Zhuang."
The Master of Qingyun Palace looked at Luo Xiu with a solemn expression and said, "You boy, this is a big trouble!"
"Then Shen Gaojian came to Qingyun City three days ago, holding the handwriting of the Lord of the Outer Sect, and directly took the power of the Lord of the Martial Palace from me, and then ordered the arrest of your parents and sisters..."
"The handwriting of Lu Feichen, the leader of the outer sect?" When Luo Xiu heard this, his mind went blank.
"Speaking of which, I'm also surprised. With the power of Master Lu, he can deal with you at Xiaoyaowai Sect. Why go to such trouble?" Master Qingyun said with a frown.
Luo Xiu didn't speak. His mind was now blank.
He had always suspected that Zhang Luliang was going to deal with him, but he never thought that the person who wanted to deal with him would be Lu Feichen!
Recalling that Lu Feichen gave him a storage ring to keep him away from Lu Mengyao, he refused without hesitation.
The very next day, he received the jade phoenix hairpin from his sister Luo Xiuer.
Seeing Luo Xiu's silence, Master Qingyun and Elder Zhuang looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Obviously, there is a hidden secret that they don't know about.
Luo Xiu analyzed the causes and consequences and was basically certain that since Shen Gaojian was holding Lu Feichen's handwriting, the person who dealt with him should obviously be Lu Feichen!
But what puzzled Luo Xiu was why Lu Feichen did this to him. Was it just to stop him from pestering Lu Mengyao?
As for why Lu Feichen didn't take action in Xiaoyaowaimen, it was obviously because he didn't want Lu Mengyao to know!
Seemingly acting like a gentleman, Luo Xiu didn't expect that Sect Master Lu would be such a sinister person!
The top priority is to rescue his parents first!
Luo Xiu raised his head and looked at Master Qingyun Palace and Elder Zhuang, "Please ask these two seniors to save my relatives."
Hearing this, the Master of Qingyun Palace looked embarrassed and sighed: "Luo Xiu, you are a genius from my Qingyun Martial Palace. I also want to help you, but as a member of Xiaoyao Sect, if I help you , there is no place for me in this Yunlong County.”
"It would be fine if I were alone, but I also have a wife and children living in Yunlong County. I hope you can understand."
Luo Xiu was not surprised by the response from the Master of Qingyun Palace. After all, he and the Master of Qingyun Palace were not related to each other. Instead, he was involved in the seizure of power because of his own affairs.
In fact, the master of Qingyun Palace did not arrest him directly to claim credit, so he was already kind to him.
Thinking of this in hindsight, Luo Xiu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat on his back. If the Master of Qingyun Palace really wanted to arrest him to claim credit, with his powerful cultivation of half-step god training, he would have simply thrown himself into a trap by coming here. !
Thinking about this, Luo Xiu bowed deeply to the Master of Qingyun Palace.
Master Qingyun Palace sighed and said nothing more.
Zhuang Nantian said: "Although I am not a member of Xiaoyao Sect, I am only the official elder of Qingyun Martial Palace, but with my strength, I can't help you."
Zhuang Nantian shook his head, "But although the palace master and I can't help you, there are people who can help you."
"Who?" Luo Xiu asked.
"Strong men from the Hunter Guild!" Zhuang Nantian said, "There are many strong men from the Hunter Guild. Hunters like you are not considered real members of the Hunter Guild, but as long as you can pay enough, you can invite The strong men from the Hunter Guild will help you."
"For example, if you are facing something this time, you only need to ask a martial arts master to take action to save your relatives. Of course, you will also have to pay the corresponding reward."
In fact, Zhuang Nantian also knew very well that the method he mentioned was basically impossible for Luo Xiu.
After all, he is just a warrior in the Qi Sea realm, how can he be rewarded with a reward that makes a martial arts master's heart beat?
