Chapter 488.
Seeing these five young men and women in front of her, their best moves were coming out, killing towards herself.
Chu Yuniang slowly closed her eyes.
However, it was only for a moment, the moment she opened her eyes, she flew up, the long sword in her hand passed away, and a touch of crimson had already been added to the blade.
Among the five young men, a muffled grunt escaped from one’s mouth.
Subconsciously reaching out to cover his chest, the person also fell from mid-air.
“Xin Yuan!!!”
The other few people exclaimed in shock, completely failing to realize how their companion was hit by the sword and how he died?
Turning back to look at Chu Yuniang again, they saw her foot on top of the soldier’s shield, and her figure turned back like electricity.
Four people could not care less about rushing into the second floor of the building, their body shape twisted, their feet on the wall pointing two times in a row, and at the same time turned back, towards Chu Yuniang to kill.
Chu Yuniang held her sword in one hand, the sword aura sent, straight to the throat of one person.
At the same time, slightly sideways head, cold sharpness from the neck in front of a sweep, eyes glanced at the blade, and then transported the sword, the sword abruptly disappeared.
When it reappeared, it had already poked into the chest of one person.
The remaining few people were in a rage, either pointing their fingers or throwing punches, but they all fell short.
Several people, along with the latest corpse, landed on the ground, right in the middle of the military formation.
Various moves were executed one after another, yet this long sword in Chu Yuniang’s hand changed with her hand, sometimes disappearing, sometimes presenting itself, and every time it appeared, it would poke into a person’s heart.
However, in an instant, Chu Yuniang’s figure lurched, and the several people behind her stood there, each unmoving.
A moment later, they all flopped to the ground.
Blood gurgled from their chests.
Straight away, the surrounding soldiers, looked jaw-dropped.
At the same time, other people shot, is the people who will come to the offenders have been all knocked to the ground, some dead, some still alive.
Yet no one cared whether they were alive or dead.
The carriage as well as the military formation didn’t stop where they were, and directly left, and in the blink of an eye, they had already gone far away.
And just as the carriage completely disappeared into the horizon, the young man named Xin Yuan, who was first stabbed to death by Chu Yuniang’s sword, moved his fingertips and slowly opened his eyes, which carried a touch of bewilderment.
He slowly rolled over and sat up, the blood in his heart was still flowing, and he didn’t care when he looked at it:
“This place, could it be the netherworld?”
Since it was the netherworld, then even if there were wounds and bleeding, what could it matter? Naturally, there was no need to pay attention to it!
But soon, he realized that as the blood flowed more and more, his sanity was also gradually somewhat blurred.
Only then did he feel that something was wrong …… and hurriedly pointed acupuncture points on his chest to stop the bleeding.
Surprisingly, it works!
“I’m not dead?”
The expression on his face changed from bewilderment to consternation in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, he hurriedly stood up and went to look at his several companions.
As a result, a probe revealed that they were surprisingly not dead either.
Not being able to care about anything else, he hurriedly gave them acupoints to stop the bleeding, and then tried to transfer in internal force, and immediately these few people woke up one by one.
They came back from the dead, but they couldn’t help but look at each other.
“What the hell is going on here?”
Some people opened their mouths to inquire.
Others carefully examined the wounds and took a deep breath:
“What a subtle sword technique …… That Chu family heir, her sword technique is really powerful.
“Her sword seems to have poked through the heart, but in reality, it only swept through the side of the heart, injuring but not killing us, the sword qi stunned us, and the figure fell to the ground, and also temporarily stopped the bleeding.”
“But, as a descendant of Chu Nanfeng, she defected to the Devil Sect, and why did she treat us like this?”
“I’m only afraid that there might be some kind of misunderstanding?”
“Could it be that she was forced to join the Demon Sect?”
“Or perhaps, she joined the Demon Sect in order to lurk at the side of that Demon Sect’s thieves, so that she can share with us when the time comes!”
A few people you a sentence, I a sentence, between the seven words, but is to figure out some things.
Finally that Xin Yuan said:
“The matter that we didn’t die must never be known to this group of Demon Cult Demons.
“Otherwise, the fact that Miss Chu went to great lengths to save our lives will spread.
“At that time, I’m worried that that Demon Sect’s Young Elder would be unfavorable to her.”
“But if that’s the case, why would she need to show up and fight us? Wouldn’t it be better to let us kill that Demon Cult Young Elder?”
Another person opened his mouth to inquire.
But he was scolded by the girl beside him:
“Are you a pig brain?
“Miss Chu’s martial arts are so brilliant that she can still let us die seamlessly in a life and death struggle with us.
“We can’t even beat her, if that devilish young father really has the ability to force her to join the devilish sect, then how can we be a match?
“I’m afraid that Miss Chu’s purpose for this move is to protect us!”
“That’s right.”
Xin Yuan nodded his head:
“Therefore, right now, our matters must not be known to the Devil Sect.
“Even the Tongdao must be trusted to inform them of what happened today.
“Otherwise, that Young Lord of the Demon Sect will definitely be unfavorable to Miss Chu!
“And we will also ruin the good situation that Miss Chu has created!”
“What situation?”
The person who had asked the question earlier asked once again.
Xin Yuan sighed:
“Naturally, it’s a great situation where the inside and the outside are working together to conceal the situation from the world.
“To be honest, our few have been a bit adventurous this time, the enemy and us are unknown, this kind of hasty action all based on one’s passion is never desirable in the future.
“It’s a good thing that we have Miss Chu today, allowing us to conceal the situation and keep that devil in the dark.”
The crowd nodded their heads for a moment.
……
……
“One was off by one point towards the left, and two were off by one point towards the right.
“There was also one that was more away, the sword blade entered the body when it was only heading for the heart, and as a result, when it was about to stab the heart, it happened to avoid the vitals, and based on the angle it allowed them to survive.
“Miss Chu although your internal energy has been restricted by me for a while, but this sword technique, it’s getting more and more skillful.
“People say that the way is in the shit, it seems that Miss Chu has been a maid for a while, and has also realized a lot of sword technique wonders since then.”
Jiang Ran casually fiddled with the tea leaves, just mouth a drink, will be those few fledgling brats, regarded as a shocking secret, the key to turn the situation, casually said out.
Chu Yuniang also did not have the embarrassment of being poked and prodded in the secret, just said lightly:
“It’s not bad for the time being, and besides, you have no grievances with them, so there’s no need to drive them to extinction.”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Ran smiled and put down his teacup.
Chu Yuniang subconsciously took the teapot and added tea to him.
Jiang Ran smiled again:
“So it seems that Miss Chu has made up her mind?”
Earlier, when he discussed this matter with Chu Yuniang, it was still in Seven An Town.
She had a sudden thought and wanted to join the Demon Sect.
Jiang Ran asked her to think about it carefully.
This girl had thought about it for a long time, and today she suddenly made a move, so naturally, Jiang Ran had an adult’s heart.
Just let this South Wind Hidden Sword Style’s heir to the Devil’s Sect put into the matter to spread out is.
Chu Yuniang gently nodded her head:
“My mind is made up.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran stood up:
“It’s just that after today’s matter spreads out, there will probably be some interesting misunderstandings.
“Miss Chu, if there are any people who contact you and want to work with you inside and out, don’t forget to notify this father.”
“…… Got it.”
Chu Yuniang looked at Jiang Ran with a dark face.
She had actually thought about this possibility when she went out to kill and save people.
At the same time, she also wondered if Jiang Ran would not be able to think of this matter, and at that time, she might still be able to interoperate with the righteous path through other methods.
As a result, he really couldn’t hide it from him.
This person was as young as he was, and as shrewd as a ghost, truly detestable to the extreme.
“That’s good, I’ll go rest first, Miss Chu just make yourself at home.”
He said and came to a small bed not far away from him, and laid himself down to rest.
At the same time, he also began to wonder, after a month of calm, suddenly someone came to assassinate.
This was by no means a coincidence.
It seemed that as he approached Jade Stream City, those people were beginning to hold back.
Jiang Ran didn’t have any other thoughts about this, other than keeping his expectations up.
In the blink of an eye, the time had already reached evening.
Jiang Ran was considering where to set up camp when he heard the sound of breaking wind coming from the window, and when he looked up again, Jin Ge had already appeared within the carriage:
“Big brother, there is a town in front of us, not far from us, only less than ten miles.”
“Less than ten miles ……”
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment, and took out the map of the Green Country from his sleeve.
After carefully checking the map, he said:
“I don’t see any towns here on the map ……”
Jin Ge froze and immediately said:
“Could it be that they have set up a temporary town? Waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net?”
“It’s a bit of a flavor of the Lifeless Building.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“However, among so many people, there is no lack of dignified figures, not to mention the top experts in the Jianghu.
“If you really want to talk about it, it’s much more of a brand name than the Lifeless Building.
“Temporarily even establishing a town isn’t that difficult.”
“Then let’s go around it a bit?”
Jin Ge proposed.
Jiang Ran, however, shook his head:
“Why go around? There’s a ready-made town, so why go through all that trouble?
“Just as well, it’s time to go to a populated place to take a good bath and clean ourselves up.
“Tell Qing Yi that we’ll head in the direction of this town, and tonight, we’ll stay at an inn.”
“Good.”
Jin Ge smiled at his words and immediately went out to pass on the order.
The ten mile journey wasn’t too close, but it wasn’t too far either.
Even though Jiang Ran and his group traveled slowly, they arrived at the town before darkness fell.
There was no wall in the town, only a tall gatehouse with three big words on it: Tranquility Town.
The town is quite cold at this time, it can be seen that every house has a candle flame reflecting on the windows, but the streets are very few pedestrians.
Along the main road in the middle of the town all the way forward, it did not take long to see an inn.
The name of the inn was Tranquility Inn.
From the looks of it, it was indeed peaceful.
Luo Qingyi stopped the carriage and entered the inn with Wang Jingyuan, inquiring about the guest rooms.
Soon the shopkeeper welcomed him out, his face a little difficult.
Jiang Ran’s side had brought too many people, and this inn had limited rooms, making it difficult to stay.
Therefore, the innkeeper discussed with Jiang Ran to pack up a few courtyards in the backyard, put up a shed in the courtyard, prepare bedding, and let everyone stay in the courtyard for the time being.
“Look, guest, it’s hot now, and even if we sleep outside at night, we’ll never be cold,” he said.
“What do you think?”
The shopkeeper accompanied him with a smiling face, looking like a businessman.
Jiang Ran’s gaze swept over him twice before he smiled faintly:
“Good, let’s do it according to the shopkeeper’s wishes.”
“That’s good that’s good, please wait a moment. I will go and order down …… to wait a little while, then you can check in.”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to order people to make preparations in the courtyard.
Jiang Ran watched coldly at this, neither asking to participate in watching nor sending anyone to monitor.
After only half an hour or so, the shopkeeper came over to invite Jiang Ran and the others to stay.
The carriage was placed near the stables, and the horses were unsaddled, allowing them to loosen up as well.
The three courtyards were filled to the brim almost instantly.
Tang Yuyi sat on Jiang Ran’s heels, glanced at Chu Yuniang standing on the side, and said to Jiang Ran:
“This shopkeeper doesn’t look like someone who is armed.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“With his weak feet and bleak eyes, he really doesn’t look like someone who is in possession of internal kung fu.
“But we still need to be more careful …… Command down that none of the food and water in the inn should be used.
“Arrange for good people to be on guard, and then ask people to double check if there are any problems with the shed they are sleeping in.”
“Good.”
Tang Yuyi agreed, then went to find someone to notify.
And just a short while after she had left, a voice came from the door:
“Guest, I’ve come to bring you some hot water.”
Listening to the voice was the movement of a young girl.
Jiang Ran casually pulled open the door of the room and looked at the person outside, but it was a sixteen or seventeen year old little girl.
A large wooden bucket was placed beside her, and after seeing Jiang Ran open the door, she struggled to carry this bucket, wanting to enter the room.
Jiang Ran casually stopped her:
“Just put it in front of the door.”
“Yes.”
The girl nodded, and immediately followed by glancing at Jiang Ran, her eyes faintly carrying some strange luster.
And just as Jiang Ran reached out to lift the bucket, the girl’s hand suddenly swept past the back of Jiang Ran’s hand.
Jiang Ran’s eyes changed slightly, but the girl turned around as if she was nothing.
Jiang Ran lifted the bucket of water in, closing the door to the room in the process.
With a flip of his palm, there was already an extra note on it.
It was that girl who had suddenly stuffed it into Jiang Ran’s sleeve when her palm swept over the back of his hand earlier.
After checking it slightly, he was sure that there was no problem with the note.
Only then did Jiang Ran open it, and saw a line of small characters written in it:
“At a quarter past midnight, at the south end of the town, under the willow tree.”
Jiang Ran pinched this note, slightly contemplating, the internal force a go, Teng sound, the flame suddenly burned up.
In the blink of an eye, it had been returned to the dusty ground:
“What is this? The moon on the willow, people after dusk?”
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, he didn’t quite believe that there would be such a thing.
However, in the middle of such a town that had been created out of nothing, no matter what one encountered, it was normal.
A girl who dared to call herself out for a meeting in such a manner, even if it was just a meeting, what could it be?
In terms of the current situation, it would have been to wait for the other party to strike.
Now, Jiang Ran would have no reason to avoid seeing her.
Therefore, after all the matters had been dealt with, and after explaining the situation to Tang Shixi, Tang Wuyi, and Princess Shocking Frost and Shocking Snow, he jumped out of the window of the inn by himself.
The time they came to this town was already late.
Now it was just about midnight.
It was just that Jiang Ran didn’t show up immediately, he flew to the tree and after determining his position, he quietly waited here.
Time lost, soon, Jiang Ran saw the girl who gave himself the note, carefully came to the tree.
Even if there was even the slightest breeze, she became as if she was a scared bird.
It was only when she didn’t see anyone jumping out that she was slightly relieved.
At one minute to midnight, Jiang Ran did not show up, and at two minutes to midnight, Jiang Ran was still watching the show.
Until the third hour, the girl finally couldn’t bear it and sat on the stone under the tree.
The face is also all the color of worry.
In this way, after waiting for a while, until the midnight passed and came to the ugly hour, Jiang Ran then flew down from the tree and arrived behind the girl:
“Girl, who are you?”
Jiang Ran’s voice startled the girl.
She leapt up and turned to look at Jiang Ran, until she was sure of Jiang Ran’s face, then she let go of her heart.
A long breath came out:
“So it’s you …… who scared me to death.”
After saying that, she first patted her own chest, followed by flopping down on her knees:
“Please, please, please! Please save Zhen Cheng!”
“Zhen Cheng?”
Jiang Ran blinked:
“What is your relationship with him?”
“He …… he’s my man.”
The girl said:
“My name is Fang Shasha, Zhen Cheng is my man.
“I also know that you are the Demon Sect’s Young Zun …… Nowadays, this peaceful town is prepared for you.
“They want to take advantage of the dawn to kill you and those around you.
“Therefore, I can only take advantage of this time of the day to ask for help from you.
“Within the palace that day, Zhen Cheng, because he disobeyed the Sect Master’s orders and failed to take action against you, has now become a thorn in the side of the four great families of the six gates and two courts, believing that he has defected to the Devil Sect.
“Thus they want to kill Zhen Cheng to sacrifice their flag before they kill you!
“No one knows about my relationship with Zhen Cheng, and they are not on guard against me, but with my skills, it is absolutely impossible to save Zhen Cheng.
“So …… my only chance is you.
“I also ask you to remember that within the palace, Zhen Cheng has never made a move against you, have mercy and save him!
“I kowtow to you!!!”
With that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Jiang Ran slightly stepped aside, followed by a flutter of his sleeve, an invisible force struck out, and this Fang Shasha couldn’t help but stand up.
She looked at Jiang Ran full of consternation, and then she heard Jiang Ran laugh:
“You say you’re Zhen Cheng’s woman, do you have any proof?”
“Yes!”
Fang Shasha took out a small wooden block from her bosom and spread out her palm for Jiang Ran to see.
Jiang Ran looked but didn’t understand what it meant.
Then he heard Fang Shasha say:
“This is a piece of material from his wooden man’s body, he told me that if I bring this with me, it will be as if he is by my side.”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment, what does this thing have to do with himself.
Zhen Cheng, that wooden person, had long been destroyed by the Winning Divine Blade.
However, seeing that this girl spoke and did things without any hesitation, she eventually nodded gently:
“Then you tell me, where is Zhen Cheng nowadays?”
