Chapter 1147: Murder case (3)
In the corner, the scholar Lu Wei walked out of the shadows with a smile on his face and came to the bonfire.
His face was delicate and pretty, but it didn’t have the gentleness from before. Under the light of the fire, he even looked a little ferocious.
“It’s you?”
Feng Xiu was shocked. She had not expected things to develop in such a way.
you’re a corpse keeper. No wonder you didn’t let me cut the coffins. Was it because you didn’t have the chance to poison them? ‘
Wang Jun stood up unsteadily with the help of his saber, his face ashen.
“That’s right. My blood corpse hasn’t reached the phenomenal stage yet. Although it has no problem killing you two, it won’t be able to catch up if you want to escape,” Lu Wei nodded. “Why are you doing this?”
Feng Xiu’s cultivation was not as high as Wang Jun’s, so she could no longer stand up.
Just as Lu Wei was about to answer, the green-robed man who was sitting cross-legged by the bonfire, unable to move, suddenly said, ”
“Of course it’s to refine the blood corpse and improve my cultivation.”
Lu Wei examined him and confirmed that he was just an ordinary person who posed no threat. He then smiled and said, ‘”‘That’s right.”
Xu Qi ‘an continued, “so you disguised yourself as a scholar and wandered around the area to deceive passers-by?” Seeing that there was quite a lot of ashes from the previous bonfire, it seems that many people were harmed.”
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun’s faces instantly turned ugly. They were just passers-by who had been deceived.
Lu Wei smiled as he examined the Azure-robed man once more.
“This road is filled with people’s lives, and the government doesn’t care?” Li lingsu fiddled with the bonfire and asked.
“Times are different now. Chai Xian has been killing people and refining corpses everywhere, causing a storm in the city. Loose cultivators like us are just following behind him and drinking some soup. In any case, we’ll just throw the blame on him in the end.”
Lu Wei’s eyes were dark, as if he didn’t want to waste any more words, “”1’11 use you ordinary people as a snack first.”
He controlled the bloody corpse and walked towards li lingsu. Why am I the first one to die? is it because I’m too handsome?
Li lingsu was a little angry.
“The blood essence of an ordinary person is not very useful, but over time, it can be accumulated. I can see that you’re all very healthy, and your vitality is extremely strong compared to ordinary people.”
As Lu Wei spoke, the blood corpse had already leaped in front of li lingsu. It opened its stinky mouth and bit down on the Saint.
Li lingsu shook her head and dodged to the side. She stood up, took off the Jade hairpin that bound her hair, and gently threw it out.
The Jade hairpin shot out like lightning and pierced through half of the blood corpse’s face. An ugly black Gu worm emerged from the tip of the hairpin. As if it had been given life, it turned around and returned to li lingsu.
The bloody corpse staggered two steps forward and fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
“What?”
Lu Wei’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He had spent years refining the blood corpse, which was even more powerful than a Qi refining stage cultivator, but it was so easily destroyed by the opponent.
Shock, amazement, disbelief, and other emotions surged first, followed by fear and anxiety, and cold sweat poured out.
It was obvious that he had met a real expert.
Perhaps in the next moment, he would be like the bloody corpse, completely turning into a corpse.
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun were surprised, happy, and confused. However, compared to Wang Jun, who was filled with joy after escaping death, the beautiful miss Feng looked at li lingsu in a daze.
So he was that powerful …
Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and took the Jade hairpin. He stared at the Gu worm on the tip of the hairpin and shook his head.
“A mutated corpse puppet, not authentic enough.”
As he spoke, Lu Wei’s expression underwent a series of changes. Finally, he made up his mind and rushed out of the ruined temple at an extremely fast speed in an attempt to escape.
“Whoosh!”
The Jade hairpin whizzed out and pierced through Lu Wei’s chest, causing fresh blood to flow out as he fell to the ground.
“Thank you for saving my life, seniors.”
Xu Qi ‘an threw a piece of firewood into the fire and sighed. “Is Xiang Zhou already in such a mess?
Feng Xiu pursed her lips, ” when I was in the sect, I only heard that Chai Xian was causing chaos in Xiang Zhou and other counties. There was no peace. Now it seemed that a portion of the murders were committed by Lu Wei, who had evil intentions.
“Brother Wang and I trusted the wrong person. If it weren’t for the two seniors in the temple today, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have survived.”
Once again, she thanked li lingsu for saving her life. However, most of the time, her beautiful eyes were focused on li lingsu. She believed that this handsome man was the core of the team.
Li lingsu nodded slightly. take care of the bloody corpses. Continue to rest. We’ll set off tomorrow.
Mu nanzhi watched as Wang Jun dragged the bloody corpse away. She turned her head in fear and glared at Xu Qi ‘an.
“Did you already know that there was a ghost in the coffin?”
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.
“I don’t know, but there’s definitely something strange about a coffin in a broken temple. There were often people resting here. The tables had been chopped into firewood, and only the coffins were intact. Such a big flaw was discovered at a glance.”
As for later, the scholar secretly threw the sleeping gas into the bonfire, which couldn’t be hidden from him, a poison expert.
Mu Nanxi snorted and lay down with Bai Ji in his arms, facing Xu Qi ‘an sideways. The curves of her waist and hips were extremely alluring.
“It’s. it’s uncomfortable. Don’t hug me to sleep .
The little white fox started to struggle.
Xu Qi ‘an lay down sideways, holding mu nanzhi’s slender waist.
Her delicate body stiffened for a moment, but she did not resist or say anything.
The next morning.
Mu Nanxi woke up and found herself curled up in Xu Qi ‘an’s arms. After the shock last night, she subconsciously leaned against him when she fell asleep again, seeking a sense of security.
She was like an unmarried young girl, her face slightly red, but she forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.
After a while, everyone woke up one after another. Xu Qi ‘an boiled a pot of hot water and gave everyone a bowl of hot water and cold steamed buns. Then, they used the remaining hot water to brush their teeth and clean their faces.
Everyone set off together. On the way, Xu Qi ‘an asked, ”
“Are there any special delicacies in Xiang Zhou?”
“The cured meat isn’t bad. I’ll take you to try it once we enter the city, senior,” li lingsu said after some thought.
Xu Qi ‘an looked at mu nanzhi and saw that she was moved, so he smiled and said, “”Alright,” he said.
Feng Xiu and Wang Jun followed behind them cautiously, not daring to take the initiative to speak. However, when they heard li lingsu address the man in green respectfully, they looked at each other in surprise.
He addressed that man as. senior, his attitude respectful … Feng xiuyuan’s eyes widened slightly. Could she have guessed wrong? was this man in green the core person?
Before noon, a group of people arrived in Xiang Zhou city. The city walls were three Zhang high. There were few pedestrians and ordinary clothes. It was rare to see people dressed in bright clothes and riding horses.
Xiang Zhou was not rich, it was not even as rich as the border Leizhou.
After entering the city, Feng Xiu and Wang Jun left.
Li lingsu led the way while Xu Qi ‘an led the little mare and followed behind. An hour later, they stopped outside a large Manor.
A horizontal board with the words “Chai Manor” was hung on the Red Gate.
The young and strong gatekeeper came up and cupped his hands, ‘”Which sect are you from?”
“I’m not from any sect,” li lingsu replied. “Do you have an invitation?”
“No, I didn’t,” Li lingsu shook her head.
The gatekeeper frowned and was about to speak when he heard the handsome
young man say, ”
“I’m an old friend of Chai Xing ‘er’s. Go in and report that li lingsu requests an audience,”
