Chapter 1395: Retribution

The robin was very alert and deflected its wings to avoid the throw.

But just as it was about to rise, the Fusheng Dao made a spin and approached again from behind.

There was a soft sound, and a small ball of blood exploded in the air.

"Solved." Get rid of this spy so that they can take action later.

He Lingchuan and the others continued on the road and soon reached the edge of the cliff.

Looking back several times in the middle, the Weng brothers saw the flames rolling down below, which was a strange sight. Weng Xing looked regretful: "I placed four or five Bakugan in the small peach garden in the north-central part of Zhuangzi and under the Shiweng in Liuxiangju. I never had a chance to detonate them. What a waste!"

His explosives are extremely powerful and difficult to make.

He Lingchuan glanced at him. This kid is actually an explosion maniac.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, the Weng brothers took out the noose and asked He Lingchuan: "My dear, do you want to use this?"

It's not difficult to go down the cliff with a rope, but it takes a little more time.

The rope they brought out this time seemed far from long enough.

"No need." He Lingchuan took out two pairs of membrane flying wings made by Songyang Mansion and placed them under his ribs, "Let's fly down."

Fu Shanyue's flying wing suit was used by He Lingchuan when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and was later handed over to Songyang Mansion for continuous improvement. It is now in its fifth version, with smoother gliding, more flexible steering, and better performance in short-term strong winds. It is also more stable and will not look like a kite with a broken string.

The Weng brothers were greatly surprised by the novelty and had a natural affinity for this new equipment.

Time is precious, so He Lingchuan briefly taught how to use it, and then demonstrated it himself——

First free fall from the cliff, then unfold your wing suit and let the wind glide.

It sounds easy, but this skill requires lots of practice. This method of play played by the Weng brothers is purely a matter of sharpening their skills in battle. Whether they have learned it or failed can only be judged by the flight results of the two of them.

Despite the danger, the Ong brothers also knew that this method was the most time-saving. Escape from Xiaotao Villa is the first priority right now, so the two of them took a deep breath and jumped off the cliff together!

…

When Qi Yunsheng received the news and rushed over, the entire hall was already burned to the bone. The fire was still there, but it was not as fierce as before.

Xue Zongwu's headless body fell in front of the hall, and no one dared to collect it.

Qi Yunsheng had already digested the news of the death of his beloved disciple and son-in-law on the road. At this time, he ran to Xue Zongwu's body and squatted down to take a look:

"Where are his side weapons? Those purple pumpkin hammers!"

The Qi Mansion guard who had just witnessed the murder of Xue Zongwu replied: "It seems, it seems that the murderer took it away!"

Qi Yunsheng narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"

"Uh..." the guard hesitated. The battle between Xue Zongwu and Emperor Jiuyou just now was lightning-fast. He was far away and could not see clearly. General Xue was beheaded, everyone was too shocked, and the background was the burning hall. It can be said that it was an eye-catching scene. Enumeration, who would pay attention to the whereabouts of a pair of weapons?

Another guard quickly said: "Nine...the murderer rummaged through General Xue's body!"

"Have you searched for it?" Qi Yunsheng immediately leaned over, "Torch!"

The two guards quickly moved the torches closer.

In the light of the fire, Qi Yunsheng simply took out all Xue Zongwu's belongings and placed them on the ground.

The storage bag at the waist, several broken protective instruments, the necklace around the neck...

There are several things missing, the most important thing is——

"'Smooth Sailing' is gone." He turned around and ordered, "Bring the red box from my room."

The personal servant responded and ran away quickly.

Qi Yunsheng then walked forward with a cold face: "Follow me!"

Like the man in black armor, he strode towards the burning fire. The tongue of fire wanted to draw him in, but Qi Yunsheng took out a sapphire gourd, broke off half a soapberry branch from somewhere, dipped some water in the sapphire gourd, and sprinkled it forward -

There was a "chi" sound, a large cloud of white steam came out, and the tongue of fire shrank back.

Qi Yunsheng sprinkled water all the way, and the sea of ​​fire gave way step by step along the way, and soon gave way to a path of black smoke.

Everyone behind quickly followed.

By the time Qi Yunsheng walked through the ruins of the dilapidated hall, the fire had been extinguished.

Just after passing the main hall, two incompetent disciples ran down the mountain road and happened to meet up with their master.

They looked ashamed.

Even though he knew the result, Qi Yunsheng still asked: "Didn't you catch up with anyone?"

The two of them murmured yes.

Just now they climbed over the side rocks and crossed the burning hall, continuing to chase the three men in black.

But those three people had disappeared from the back cliff.

Regardless of whether they jumped or flew over, they were gone without a trace.

Qi Yunsheng exhaled heavily, unable to hide his anger.

Sniping and killing the generals of the dynasty and burning down Xiaotao Mountain Villa, which force is so rampant!

But I chose today, when Xiaotaoshan Villa was full of guests.

Bao Xin whispered: "Master, there are, and there are... on the mountain..."

"What are you hesitating about?" Qi Yunsheng said angrily, "Speak clearly if you have something to say!"

The two disciples looked at each other, and Bao Xincai said, "Come and see, it's at the mountain col ahead."

Qi Yunsheng strode forward, and just after turning the corner of the mountain, there was a pole standing in front of him, with a human head stuck on it. His eyes were wide open and his hair was messy in the night wind.

Although his face was covered with blood, Qi Yunsheng recognized it immediately, this was Xue Zongwu!

There is also a piece of white cloth on the pole, fluttering in the wind, with sixteen large bloody characters on it:

"The crimes are so heinous that they are too numerous to describe! God's law is clear and retribution will not be satisfactory!"

Except for the evening breeze, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. More than a hundred people behind Qi Yunsheng were silent.

This scene was really shocking. In the past, General Xue had always done this to his enemies.

Seeing this head, everyone believed that General Xue was really dead and was really beheaded in public by the legendary "Nine Nether Emperor"!

Is there really such a thing as retribution in the dark?

Those who kill will be killed.

Many people subconsciously touched the back of their necks and quietly stepped back.

"How can this be!" Qi Yunsheng tore off the white cloth and personally took off Xue Zongwu's head.

He was also in a state of confusion. The border official and the favorite general of the Yao King were killed in Xiaotao Mountain Villa, and before the Yao King's birthday ceremony, which would definitely cause an uproar.

If Xue Zongwu was alive, many things could be covered up; if he died, it was hard to guarantee that no one in the royal court would start to investigate the accounts. Besides, Xue Zongwu had offended countless powerful people during his lifetime, and everyone knew about the interests between him and Xue Zongwu.

Qi Yunsheng could foresee that there would be endless troubles coming to him later.

He tried to calm down and called people over: "Inform the county government and let them search and arrest with all their strength!"

Will the murderer of Xue Zongwu be caught by the county government? Qi Yunsheng himself thought it was unlikely.

But for some things, just because you can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it.

Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work, at least the effort should be seen.

The servants rushed to do it, and Qi Yunsheng said to the people behind him: "Who saw the whole process of General Xue's murder with their own eyes? Tell me the whole story."

So the guards who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire stood up and told the battle on the roof and in the fire hall together with Bao Xin and Fu Wending.

Qi Yunsheng listened carefully, interrupted several times to ask questions, and his heart was filled with more and more doubts:

The murderer who killed Xue Zongwu was powerful and powerful, and had all kinds of incredible means, even Xue Zongwu's white flame could be easily collected.

Qi Yunsheng knew how bad the temper of that little monster was.

So, was the murderer really the "Nine Nether Emperor" who was in the limelight recently?

At this time, another farmhand came to report that there was something abnormal in the ruins of the hall.

Qi Yunsheng turned around and walked back.

He built this hall to be his own Taoist temple, but he didn't expect it to be burned down in less than half a year.

The fire has been extinguished, and the originally exquisite and beautiful palace scenery full of ingenuity has now turned into broken wood and tiles with a scorched smell. The skeleton of the hall has also collapsed, half of it fell to the ground, and the other half barely hung.

The pair of bronze animal sculptures given by the emperor in front of the hall were also melted by the white flames, and their faces were completely unrecognizable. Only the tall base survived.

It was here that something unusual happened:

On the wide bronze base, a relief sculpture of a dragon head appeared out of thin air, with ferocious eyes and majestic appearance, as if it would break out of the seat and soar into the sky in the next second.

Qi Yunsheng knew what a dragon looked like, and subconsciously reached out to touch it.

It looked like it was made by nature, without any trace of carving, and it didn't look like it was made by magic.

The man in black had just fought fiercely with Xue Zongwu in the Fire Hall, and had no time to come here to tinker. So, the relief sculpture of the dragon head on the bronze base grew naturally, just like the legend?

Bao Xin murmured, "Is it really the Nine Nether Emperor who killed Senior Brother Xue?"

Not a fake?

Thinking of this, he was still a little scared.

Fu Wending also said, "I heard that the two men in black acted carelessly before, and it seems that it was just a trick to lure the enemy."

Alas, those two people pretended to be fools so well. Xue Zongwu has been hunting geese all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be pecked in the eye by a goose in the end.

Qi Yunsheng remained silent, and his thinking became more in-depth.

There are countless evil people in the world, why did the Nine Nether Emperor choose Xue Zongwu as his target?

He claimed that he wanted to kill all the evil people and enforce justice on behalf of heaven, but there must be a selection standard for who to kill and who not to kill, right?

Although Qi Yunsheng has retired for many years, his ears and eyes are still sharp. He has not missed any major events that happened in the west of Yao Kingdom.

So he knows that the targets that the Nine Nether Emperor has killed in the past have distinct characteristics. They are all great evil people, but their combat power is not strong.

In Qi Yunsheng's view, he can do it.

Why did the Nine Nether Emperor choose the most difficult target to kill this time, and it is from Yao Kingdom?

Is it to respond to recent rumors?

Or is there a deeper purpose?

The dragon head appeared on the bronze seat. In the legend, this is almost the sign of the appearance of the Nine Nether Emperor, which is ironclad. So, the act of killing Xue Zongwu itself is just "enforcing justice on behalf of heaven" and does not involve other things?

Qi Yunsheng has actually always been interested in the person of "Nine Nether Emperor".

Like other superiors, he has been trying to figure out the purpose of the Nine Nether Emperor's actions.

People always have to have a reason to do something.

Finding this reason will also reveal the trajectory of the Nine Nether Emperor's actions.

He looked at the bronze base, his eyes slightly turned, and suddenly pointed at the dragon head totem and said to Fu Wending: "Chisel it off!"

It is said that after the Nine Nether Emperor eliminates evil, this dragon head relief will exist for three days? He will dig it out now!
