Chapter 27.
Yuhang was confused.
The sound of a fight?
How come he didn’t hear it?
It was quiet here, huh?
He even rubbed his ears, wondering if Zhou An was hallucinating.
“Old Zhou, isn’t it that you’ve been under too much pressure lately, why don’t I hemorrhage money and invite you to relax inside the hookah?” Yu Hang joked.
Zhou An pointed to the alley in front of him and said, “We’ve been there before, this alley is very deep, if a fight occurs inside the end and it’s extremely hard to hide it, the sound will be hard to get out.”
“How can you hear it?” Yu Hang asked.
Zhou An raised his thumb and pointed at himself, “I, have air.”
When Yu Hang heard this, he immediately had an expression of having eaten shit.
The one who had just blown off his high spirits was now like a frosted eggplant.
He had almost forgotten that Zhou An had long since stepped into the steps of a third-rate expert.
The air was something that many people could only dream of.
What one could not hear, a third-rate expert would not necessarily not hear.
“We’re going to the court?” Yu Hang asked.
Zhou An shook his head, “By the time we go to the Yamen, the yellow flowers will be cold.”
The sound of the fight was sharp, so it was estimated that the fight would not last long.
If they went to the magistrate’s office at this point, by the time they came back, they might not even see a single hair.
Zhou An was skeptical that it was someone from the Beast Cult.
For the Beast Cult, Zhou An felt that it was a big threat.
He himself had had a few encounters with the Beast Cult, although he had always eliminated the roots and hidden them well.
This matter, however, had always been a thorn in the side.
To be honest, even if it was done well, but where in the world was there a wall that did not leak?
In case it was discovered one day, and the people of the Beast Sect wanted to play something shady for him, the one who would suffer at that time would only be himself.
“You go to the Zhen Gui Si, I’ll keep watch here.” Zhou An said.
When Yu Hang heard this, he immediately became anxious: “That won’t do, I’m a brother, how can I let you stay here alone?”
The two of them were childhood friends, and they also worked inside the government office.
Yu Hang felt that he couldn’t let Zhou An stay here, both emotionally and rationally.
Zhou An said, “You don’t even believe in the mysterious master’s ability? If you stay here, I’ll be tied up instead.”
Yu Hang froze and quickly reacted, having guessed Zhou An’s thoughts.
“You want to cut off the roots!”
Zhou An nodded, an icy color appeared in his eyes, saying, “If you want to live in this world, you have to be sharp in what you do, those who don’t mess with me, get along with each other amicably, and those who mess with me, not a single piece of armor will be left behind!”
Yu Hang’s face became complicated, he felt that this hairy young man of his, seemed to be growing up every day.
He himself always felt a lot worse compared to Zhou An.
Now with these words from Zhou An, Yu Hang also understood Zhou An’s intentions.
“I understand, I will come as soon as possible, make sure not to be impulsive, preserving yourself is the most important thing!”
Staying here would instead be causing trouble for Zhou An.
Yu Hang did not say anything more and left the alleyway with quick steps.
Zhou An pulled out the long knife on his waist and walked towards the alleyway.
Yu Hang subconsciously turned around and saw Zhou An’s back.
The moonlight spilled down, and the long knife was like snow.
In the cold night, Zhou An’s breath was like ice.
Yu Hang couldn’t help but shiver as he buried his head and continued to rush.
The alleyway was dark.
Sporadic moonlight poured down from the sky, adding a bit of warmth.
Zhou An held the long knife in his hand and approached step by step.
The closer he got to the depths of the alley, the sounds of fighting in his ears became clearer and clearer.
Not far ahead was a corner.
The corner was dark and Zhou An did not rush over there.
He stopped at the edge of the corner and poked his head out.
The Qi in his body flowed for a while, and even though it was a dark alley, he was still able to see.
In the depths of the alley, there was a sword and sword shadow at the moment.
Five people dressed differently, holding different weapons, were surrounding another person.
“It’s them?”
Zhou An’s gaze stared slightly.
One of the five people had a weapon that was particularly odd, a pair of bright silver double hooks.
This pair of weapons was recognized by Zhou An, and its owner was none other than the five jianghu people Zhou An had met during his morning meal.
“I didn’t expect to meet so soon, and there are really five experts.” Zhou An thought in his heart as he watched the fight scene.
The five people were extremely well-coordinated, attacking and defending as one, and the moves in their hands made them rounded.
The person they surrounded was masked in black, unable to see his face clearly, even his hair was wrapped in black cloth.
The black-clothed masked man carried an ordinary long sword in his hand, and every time he swung it out, he was able to swing back an enemy.
However, this black-clothed masked man was simply unable to break through the siege of five people for a moment, each of these five people were closely connected to each other, both in terms of attack and defense.
Every time the black-clothed masked man swung his sword, the person holding the pair of curved hooks was like an impenetrable wall.
The pair of curved hooks were made to be used to the fullest extent, and every time, they were able to be incredibly precise, hooking the weakest part of the long knives.
“What a wonderful fight.” Zhou An secretly watched from the side.
As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada, but the yellow sparrow is at the back.
This was not the time to rush out immediately.
It was necessary to let this battle have an outcome before casting the net out like a fisherman himself.
As for whether or not someone from the Zhen Gui Si would come over while he was waiting, he couldn’t wait.
At that time, he wouldn’t have to make a move himself, and naturally, the people from the Zhen Gui Si would deal with them.
The reason he had come over was because he was afraid that the information that had come to him would slip away.
If Zhen Gui Si’s people can’t make it in time, he will make a move beforehand to see if he can get some information.
Then he would strike again and kill these guys.
The information that he had gotten would be handed over to Zhen Gui Si in another way, without exposing himself.
I’ll use Zhen Gui Si’s hand to get rid of the big problem.
If the Zhen Gui Si came beforehand and was able to obtain the information directly, why not?
Thinking of this, Zhou An waited patiently.
The battle had been at a stalemate, and at this time the man with the curved hook spoke.
“You only need to hand over the Blood Shadow Sect’s things, we will leave you alive, we are all from the same sect, so why should we fight to the death?”
The moment the man opened his mouth, it was important information.
Blood Shadow Sect?
When Zhou An heard this, how could he not understand what was going on in the scene before him.
The two sides fighting against each other should both be from the Blood Shadow Sect.
The one who fought five to one seemed to have taken something important from the Blood Shadow Sect and was being hunted down.
Associating it with the corpse of the Blood Shadow Sect found earlier, Zhou An found the blind spot.
That corpse, should have been killed by this person with the long knife.
It was also presumed that he had been killed in return in order to retrieve the Blood Shadow Sect’s things.
Sorting out this set of information, Zhou An felt his mind clear.
Just at this time, the black-robed masked man under siege also spoke.
“Five little brats, just with you guys, you dare to attack Old Man? I am an Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect, can you afford to commit the crime of committing a crime below?”
The voice was hoarse and carried a flavor of disdain.
Zhou An was slightly surprised when he heard this voice.
Apart from being surprised that the other party was an Elder, he also felt that the voice had a sense of familiarity.
