As far as he was concerned, it was more appropriate for him to save the soul energy to improve his Vajra Glass Body.
With this thought in mind, Ziyue did not stop and continued on his way.
But soon, Ziyue's footsteps gradually stopped, and his eyes flickered.
Bai Ziyue had come on this trip to escort the goods to return Hou Linkun's favor. However, everything that happened after that made him feel a chill in his heart.
"If I was just an ordinary warrior, I really wouldn't have been able to come back this time.
Even if I hadn't killed Zhang Yuchang to refine the corpse, since the Ghost Head Stronghold had decided to tear up the deal, they would never have let me come back.
Then, what role did Hou Linkun play in this matter? "
Ziyue thought in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually thickened.
He knew that Hou Linkun and his housekeeper were definitely aware of this deal.
And knowing that this operation was so dangerous, the other party had deliberately concealed it and let him be involved. Their purpose was somewhat thought-provoking.
Ziyue did not choose to return to the city directly. He knew that Hou Linkun must have already sent people to guard the city gate to see if he had returned safely.
They must have even sent people to observe the waterways and the river surface.
Once he returned safely, the other party would not do anything to harm him. However, they would definitely have follow-up measures to dispel his suspicions. They might even use this as a pretext to threaten him and drag him into the water to help the other party.
In terms of tricks, even if Ziyue was far more mature than his peers, he was far from being a match for a sly old fox like Hou Linkun.
However, Ziyue had never thought of feigning civility with the other party.
Since the other party dared to scheme against him, they naturally had to bear the consequences of their scheme failing.
Therefore, Ziyue simply decided not to enter the city first.
Instead of putting himself in the open and facing the other party's schemes, it was better to hide in the dark, which would be more convenient for him to act.
Night gradually fell.
Perhaps the commoners felt that the recent atmosphere was a little strange, and the flow of people in and out of the city gate was much less than usual.
Seeing that the time had come, and there were no traces of pedestrians on either side of the city gate, an officer called out, and two officers immediately closed the city gate slowly, latched the door, and officially closed it.
Seeing that the city gate was completely closed, the officers gradually left. In the corner behind a stone block, a figure was limping quickly into the city.
However, they didn't notice that a huge eagle had appeared in the sky at some point in time.
The eagle circled in the air for a moment, and like a bolt of lightning, it rushed through the city gate and entered the depths of Qinghe Town.
… …
"Are you sure that Bai Ziyue didn't return until the city gates closed?"
In Hou Linkun's residence, Old Old, and was was the housekeeper's question.
"Yes" he was "was" was the Housekeeper was, "If Ziyue", ','s, he not was not.
I am sure that he is not back yet. "
Below, Sun Nong said in a confident tone.
"Okay, I got it. You may leave."
Above, Old Mr. Hou nodded and said calmly.
"I think you know what to say and what not to say. You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
Steward Hsu, who was beside him, warned him repeatedly, his eyes full of coldness.
"Yes, I understand. I don't know anything."
Sun Nong had a hunch that something was going to happen. His heart trembled, and he nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Sun Nong had left, Hou Linkun said with a smile, "Sun Nong has no other ability, and he is very timid. However, he is also very tight-lipped. He will not care about anything that has nothing to do with him.
Don't worry. Even if he finds out something, he will not dare to say it out loud. Not to mention that he has not found anything yet. "
"Master, of course I know his personality. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to keep an eye on them.
However … "
Steward Hsu paused for a moment before continuing, "Since Ziyue didn't come back from the city gate, and someone reported that they didn't see any traces of him on the waterway, then their trip may be …"
"Wait a little longer!"
Hou Linkun said in a deep voice.
Therefore, the scene quieted down again, and Steward Hsu also left.
About an hour later, Steward Hsu appeared in the room again and said anxiously, "I just received news that the village of the Reed Marsh has been razed to the ground.
The flames started and haven't been extinguished yet.
In addition, after the Water Immortal and the others went out, they never returned. I reckon that they are probably dead.
In this case, it seems that Ziyue won't be able to escape this calamity. "
"Really?
As expected of the Ghost Head Village. They are ruthless.
This time, they came to me. Fortunately, I pushed the blame to the Water Immortal. Otherwise, we would all have been implicated.
As for that Ziyue, I can only say that he is unlucky.
If he were still alive, I would have taken advantage of this matter to take him under my wing and use him as a sharp knife. "
Hou Linkun said with a trace of regret in his tone, but he also seemed to be relieved. There was a carefree expression on his face as if he could control life and death.
"That's because he didn't have the fortune.
Besides, if he hadn't refused the master's order, how could he have ended up like this?
It's just that he lost the identity of an outstanding disciple, but at least he could still be alive. It's not like the master didn't give him any benefits.
Now, not only is he dead, his identity will probably fall on Young Master Li in the end. How sad. "
Steward Hsu hurriedly flattered him, looking very regretful.
"Humph, you haven't done much for me, and you want to jump out of my control?
How can there be such a good thing?
This is good. You can report to the Left Protector tomorrow that Ziyue is dead.
I think he will be very happy to hear the news. "
Hou Linkun ordered.
"Is that so?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Who is it?"
Steward Hsu's face changed drastically, and he stood up in an instant.
Hou Linkun's somewhat aged body also trembled, and his expression became unsightly.
"Ziyue, you're not dead?"
Looking at the figure walking in step by step, Steward Hsu's face was full of disbelief.
"You're really surprised to see that I'm fine."
Ziyue shook his head and said with emotion.
He didn't expect that as soon as he entered Hou Linkun's mansion, he would happen to hear their conversation, which solved all the doubts in his heart.
"This is not an accident, it's a surprise.
We didn't expect that such a big change would happen in this normal transaction.
For this reason, we specially sent people to guard the city gate and the river. Now that we see you come back safely, of course we're happy.
Come, come, come, it's still early. I'll ask someone to prepare a table of good dishes to welcome you back. "
Hou Linkun, after all, had been through storms and waves, quickly calmed down and spoke quickly. His old face was full of sincerity.
"What a sharp tongue you have. You can even turn black into white."
Ziyue sneered and said, "I, Ziyue, am not the kind of person who doesn't care about old feelings. When I was insignificant, I did owe Old Mr. Hou a favor.
I'm willing to return the favor.
It's a pity that my kindness is regarded as ill intent. "
"What are you going to do?"
Hou Linkun's heart sank. He suddenly knew that their conversation had been heard by Ziyue, so he no longer quibbled and said sternly.
"Ziyue, I advise you not to act rashly. Have you thought about the consequences of making a move in the town?
Moreover, with your strength, do you really think you can get away with it?
You don't think that I'm just an ordinary steward, do you? "
Steward Hsu's tone was cold and threatening.
As he spoke, he released his aura, and his momentum soared. The rich power of Qi and blood was revealed, far surpassing that of a martial artist at the peak of outer forging.
He was in the Internal Refining Realm, and he was not a martial artist who had just entered the realm like Zhang Bo. He had already completed the training of his five viscera and was beginning to temper his six viscera.
"Is that so?
But you're underestimating me, Ziyue. "
Ziyue's expression did not change. A cloth banner suddenly appeared in his hand and he waved it slightly.
In the blink of an eye, a rich Yin energy spread out and enveloped the entire hall.
"What's this?
What's going on? "
Steward Hsu's panicked voice rang out.
Under the encirclement of the Yin Qi, his eyes could not see anything. He was horrified to find that even his power of Qi and blood was gradually being worn down by the turbulent Yin Qi.
"Magic … Magic Weapon?
Is this a Magic Weapon?
You … "
Hou Linkun's calm expression changed in an instant. He became extremely panicked and terrified.
Since Bai Ziyue was in possession of a Dharmic artifact, his identity was obvious.
He was a cultivator of the Way of Immortality!
Ziyue was actually a cultivator of the Way of Immortality?
"It seems that you're quite knowledgeable.
Under the encirclement of the Yin Qi, I can't see anything or make a sound. It won't attract anyone's attention, so I can send you on your way. "
Bai Ziyue said slowly. Then, he reached behind his back and took out a scroll.
"Aren't you afraid of being found out?
Many people have seen you enter and leave my mansion before. "
Hou Linkun's expression changed. As he spoke, he quickly fumbled around. He quickly picked up a pipe pot and carefully judged Ziyue's position.
"No one will find out, because I'm not going to enter the city until tomorrow."
As Bai Ziyue spoke, he stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the painting.
A light flashed on the scroll, and then a swordsman with a blurry face and a sword case on his back suddenly appeared.
As soon as the swordsman appeared, he disappeared on the spot like a flash of lightning.
At this moment, Hou Linkun's eyes hardened. A beam of light suddenly shot out from the pipe pot, and an extremely small golden needle suddenly shot out.
