Just after midnight, Zhaoyang City was completely silent.

Under the cover of night, only three or four lights in the City Lord's Mansion, which covers an area of ​​three miles square, were still on. Most of the area was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Si walked out with a jar of wine in his hand. When he saw Wang Wu leaning on the doorpost with his eyes closed and lazing around, he immediately shook his head.

"Now that you've started to squint, you won't be afraid of someone wiping your neck in the middle of the night."

"Old Zhao, can't you hope for me to do better?"

"The little Taoist nun and the little monk who came today are not simple."

"Those two are smart people with a lot of knowledge. They have five hundred powerful ten-stone crossbows and are not red-eyed. I guess those two fools are the only ones who can have other ideas."

Zhao Si seemed to have thought of something when he heard this. He nodded, chuckled twice, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, then gave it to Wang Wu to drink two more sips.

The two of them just chatted and drank. The Hou Mansion now has a big business, and nearly a hundred people are on duty every night.

The two of them said they were gatekeepers, but they were the most senior, so of course they became the commanders of the night watch. The rest of the people patrolled the house, and if they encountered any situation, they would report it to them as soon as possible.

It is said that the Hou family is no longer what it used to be. Zhao Si, Wang and Wu have been in the family for more than 20 years and watched the five brothers Hou Yuxiao grow up. If they want to hold other positions in the clan, it is just a matter of words.

.

But the two of them seemed to be locked in front of the Hou family's gate. No matter how much Hou Yuxiao tried to persuade them, they were unwilling to do anything else except look at the gate.

……………

At that time, Wang Wu drank several glasses of wine and became sober.

A gust of wind suddenly blew across his cheek, and his eyes were half-squinted. He looked at Zhao Si next to him, with a hint of cryptic look in his eyes.

It was just as if the two of them had reached some tacit understanding, they nodded slightly, said nothing, and just continued to lean against the doorpost.

"One...three...five...six...seven, there are actually seven!"

Zhao Si counted to seven silently at a volume that only the two of them could hear. His voice was slightly surprised. Wang Wu heard the sound and looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"These idiots are not even aware that the little master is following them. They won't cause any trouble, so don't worry!"

Several breezes blew by in succession, and the two of them just pretended that nothing had happened and continued to watch the door as usual, chatting from time to time.

……………………

In the main hall building of the City Lord's Mansion, seven figures stood majestically on the roof, looking at the warriors of the Hou Mansion patrolling the night below, their faces full of disdain.

"A small, third-rate tribe can only rely on its large numbers of people to show off its prestige, huh!"

"The demon thieves are so scheming after all. I don't know how they got the news of our arrival. They made arrangements in advance. It's normal for us to suffer a loss."

"Haha, so what if we rely on conspiracy and trickery to gain some advantages? If I break in openly now, these fools won't even notice it at all!"

…………

The seven people stood in clear positions, two in front and five in the back. They all spoke in extremely low voices, but the mockery and contempt for the Hou family in their tone was obvious.

Especially Chen Yuhe, who was the third one to speak, his tone was full of contempt. It was obvious that he still had a grudge after suffering such a big loss in the afternoon.

Tong Hu, who was standing behind Chen Yuhe, looked at the disciples of the Hou family below, with a sharp look in his eyes. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Senior Chen, we came here so boldly, where is the Hou family's treasury?

I don’t even know where the thieves live. How about I catch one of them first and ask him to come up to find out more about it before I take action?”

Chen Yuhe and Liu Fufeng next to him looked at each other, and thought of the words Hou's treasury. His eyes suddenly showed a hint of greed, and he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Those who were on night watch below were all warriors above the fifth level. Tong Hu was at the peak of his Dan Bao stage, so it was not easy for him to catch one or two people.

Tong Hu concentrated his aura to the extreme, jumped from the top of the building to the ground without making a sound, and hid in the shadows next to the main hall building of the City Lord's Mansion. He looked at the two patrolling Hou Mansion warriors in the distance, and his pupils suddenly revealed

A chill.

If he strikes with thunderous force, he can capture these two people in just a moment, but this will inevitably scare the enemy. The purpose of their trip is not only to cause trouble for the Hou family, but also to find out the Hou family's treasury and force them to find out.

The secret behind the small clan's strong financial resources is the real purpose.

When Tong Hu was about to fly across the night sky and capture the two disciples.

Suddenly, a Hou family warrior dressed in black walked towards him from the other side. Tong Hu, who was just about to take action, simply changed his target.

"Boy, you are in bad luck..."

Tong Hu held his breath and waited for the man to be less than five meters away from him. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly leaned forward. His huge palms instantly grabbed the man's neck, and then moved in his direction.

A pull.

In order not to alert others, he still did not use any Dan Gang energy, but the pure physical strength alone was more than enough to deal with a fifth-level warrior.

After the man was caught by him, his first reaction was to call for help, but Tong Hu only exerted a slight force with his right hand, and the man immediately closed his mouth and made two extremely weak sounds.

"I'm willing to say anything. I just ask the hero to spare my life..."

This man is very knowledgeable!

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Tong Hu's eyes. He let go of his neck, grabbed his collar, jumped up, and jumped onto the roof of the main hall, walking softly in front of everyone.

Chen Yuhe immediately stepped forward impatiently. Looking at the Hou family warrior controlled by Tong Hu, he stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.

"Tell me quickly, where is the Hou family's treasury, where is your head of the family retreating, and where are the other members of the Hou family?"

Seeing so many people on the roof, the Hou family warrior was obviously a little scared. He kept his head lowered, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Chen Yuhe just thought that the man was scared out of his wits, and because his voice was soft, he didn't hear what he said clearly, so he took a few steps forward and prepared to ask a second time.

But just these few steps caused his expression to change instantly...

In their eyes, the Hou family warrior, who was only at the fifth level, suddenly burst out with a powerful burst of Qi, and a large piece of the roof tiles were blown away in an instant.

In an instant, the sky was filled with dust and smoke

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, a bloody sword light nearly a hundred meters long suddenly rushed from it, like a rainbow piercing the sun. The dark night sky instantly lit up with a red light, illuminating the city lord's palace with a strange blood color.

.

Zhenqi Xianfa, Grandmaster, this person is not a patrolling warrior at all, he is clearly a big murder weapon hidden in the Hou Mansion!

How is it possible that there is a powerful master in the Hou Mansion?

Liu Fufeng, Tong Hu, and the four Dan-Baoing Stage warriors had two frightening thoughts flashing through their hearts. Their auras no longer contained any restraint, and their auras suddenly erupted, and they all ran away in all directions.

Shila...

The sound of sword light cutting through flesh was heard, and Tong Hu groaned. He looked at the four-inch wound on his right shoulder with a pale face, his brows jumped sharply, and instead of being angry, there was a sense of joy in his heart that he had survived the disaster.

Among the six people, he was closest to the person who suddenly jumped up, so it was normal for him to be hit.

Fortunately for him, this bloody sword light was not directed at him, otherwise it would not have been as easy as a slight injury to his shoulder.

"No, Chen Yuhe!"

Not only Tong Hu, but Liu Fufeng and the other four people also had this thought in their minds. They turned to look at Chen Yuhe, and a hint of shock suddenly flashed in their hearts.

The shock that this sword light brought to everyone was in no way comparable to that of Chen Yuhe who was bearing the brunt at this moment. He didn't know how a fifth-level warrior could suddenly become a master at the master level and be able to use such a terrifying sword.

Law.

Chen Yuhe was obviously caught off guard, with panic in his eyes. He didn't even pull out the Jiang Yu Sword from his waist in time. Out of fear, he only condensed a stream of blue Qi around his body. He could resist this bloody sword with only his body as a master.

Light.

"A good man..."

Obviously, Chen Yuhe also knew that his body alone could not block the sword light. Unfortunately, before he finished speaking the four-character life-saving mantra, the sword light penetrated his body from the left side of his chest like a rainbow penetrating the sun.

Pfft...

A mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, and Chen Yuhe's body was like a kite with its string broken. It was carried hundreds of meters backward by the force of the bloody sword light. The true energy overflowing from his body brought out a blue light in the air, and finally

Like a cannonball, it hit the courtyard behind the city lord's palace.

Jiang Yujian, Chen Yuhe, is a long-established master in Wanyang County.

In just a moment, I don’t know whether I will live or die!

When Liu Fufeng and Tong Hu saw this scene, they felt a sudden chill rising above their heads, and their minds were short-circuited for a moment.

"You idiots, you just cross the border obediently and nothing happens. You insist on being toasted and you are fined with wine. Now, go to hell!"

Hearing this voice, Tong Hu's body froze for an instant, and then he raised his head to look at the Tsing Yi figure slowly walking out of the dust and smoke, the horror in his pupils rising again.

"How is it possible...how is it possible...it's only been a year?"

Tong Hu was almost roaring in his heart. He never thought that the master who took action would be Hou Yuxiao, who had groveled and knelt down to him when he went to Tianling County a year ago.

The Zhaoyang Rebellion and Hou Yuxiao's shamelessness left a deep impression on him. Later, some news from Tongling County also made him realize that this little devil master was not simple, so this trip to Zhaoyang was also deliberately done by him.

The purpose of guidance is to solve this problem once and for all.

"How is it possible...how is it possible..."

Just now, he was shocked that the Hou family had a hidden master, but when he found out that this master was Hou Yuxiao himself, he was so frightened that he could not even speak. The strong shock prompted him to

The roar in my heart almost never stopped.

The shock in his soul came to an abrupt end when he met Hou Yuxiao's sharp eyes!

Hou Yuxiao obviously knew what he was shocked about, and the strong murderous intent gradually rose in his sharp eyes. Tong Hu understood the meaning in his eyes, and realized that he knew something he shouldn't know, and his legs suddenly became weak.
To be continued...
