Eternal Sword

Chapter 93: Going to the Snow Mountain Again
As evening approached, the city gates closed.

Mei Nianzhi and his group packed their luggage in the afternoon and set off again, returning to Changze County.

Lu Shizong's family also shamelessly followed the convoy.

Inside Lu'an Inn.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chen Tang informed Qingmu and Zhiwei that he was going out and told them not to worry.

Then he took off his Qinglong sword armor, changed into a black suit, hung the new sword he bought in the afternoon around his waist, put a bow and arrow on his back, said hello to the fat old man, and quietly climbed out of the window.

"This kid has really achieved the ninth level."

The fat old man looked in the direction Chen Tang left and muttered.

Judging from the boy's attitude, he is probably going to find that guy to practice again.

However, the fat old man didn't care too much.

He guessed that most of the people behind Chen Tang came from the army of the previous dynasty and were not willing to be seen in public.

He didn't care and was too lazy to look for it.

He recognized all the masters of the previous dynasty. Almost all of them had died back then. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, most of them would have been buried in the ground after decades.

It’s definitely not as good as him.

Chen Tang, dressed in black, sneaked in the night. Not long after, he arrived at the foot of the city gate and used the gecko wall-climbing skill to climb over the wall to get out.

I am already familiar with this routine and it is very smooth.

The fat old man guessed correctly. Chen Tang was leaving the city tonight, preparing to go up the snowy mountains again to find a mountain guest to practice with.

Of course, before going up the snow mountain, there is one thing that needs to be taken care of.

……

into the night.

The returning convoy stopped to rest, and some people built a bonfire beside the official road to boil water and cook.

The Lu Shizong family shamelessly returned with the convoy.

However, he was placed at the end of the convoy and no longer had the high spirits he had when he came.

Lu Shizong brought his family to Mei Nianzhi and said, "Master Mei, luckily it was just a misunderstanding today, otherwise I would be blamed for it. Who would have thought that I just took one more look and those two officers would arrest me on the spot."

"Humph."

Mei Nianzhi sneered.

This kind of talk is just enough to fool young children who are not very worldly-wise.

He has seen many sinister villains like Lu Shizong.

You can't tell anything about him at ordinary times, but when something really happens, he will definitely be the first to jump out and add insult to injury.

Mei Nianzhi said calmly: "No need to say more, whether it is a misunderstanding or not, you and I know it very well."

Lu Shizong was squeezed and smiled awkwardly. After a few polite words, he took his family back to the end of the convoy.

"Aren't you asking for trouble by apologizing to him?"

Lu complained and said, "Besides, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay in Wu'an County for a few more days. When the time comes, we can hire two people to escort us back."

Lu Ziqi said, "Dad is probably worried about encountering snow thieves."

Lu said, "Such a big thing happened in Changze County. Officials and the Azure Dragon Guards are traveling between counties. Wu'an County has sent troops to search for the remnants of the Evil Wolf Gang. What kind of Snow Bandit dared to come out during this period? Are they courting death?"

"Mom is right." Lu Ziqi nodded.

Mrs. Lu said, "Don't think that your father is the boss of the family. I don't say much, but I understand many things better than him."

The three of them sat in front of a small fire. The fire was bright, but Lu Shizong's face was a little gloomy.

He shook his head and said, "What do you know, woman? I was in a hurry to come back, not because I was worried about the snow thieves, but because I was worried about that Chen Tang!"

"Why worry about him?"

Lu asked, "Zi Qi has already been punished for what happened before, and his wrist was broken by him. Does he still want to kill him? Even if he joins the Qinglong Division, he can't be so domineering!"

"you forgot?"

Lu Shizong whispered, "When we were at Xuantian Temple, we mentioned Chen Tang to Xu Tong."

"I remember. What's wrong?"

"I originally wanted to divert the trouble to someone else and kill someone with someone else's knife, but I just heard from Xuantian Temple this morning that this Immortal Master Xu Tong is said to be dead!"

"what?"

Lu's face changed and she asked, "He, he, does he dare to kill the people of Xuantian Temple?"

Lu Shizong said: "It seems that Xu Tong offended the abbot, which led to his death. But even so, this is too coincidental. The more I think about it, the more scared I am. It is better to leave Wu'an County as soon as possible."

"Also, at noon today, you two didn't notice. When Chen Tang told the two yamen runners that they had to pay the price for doing something wrong, he seemed to glance at me!"

"No way, don't scare yourself."

Lu comforted.

Poof!
A feather arrow suddenly pierced through the back of Lu Shizong's head, and the bloody arrowhead pierced his face.

"..."

Lu's eyes widened and his pupils contracted violently.

A moment ago, everything was fine.

The next moment, the master's head was pierced by an arrow, his body tilted, and he fell into the fire!
"what!"

Lu's face was filled with horror, he opened his mouth wide and let out a sharp scream.

puff!
Another arrow entered through the mouth and pierced the back of Lu's head.

The screams stopped abruptly.

As soon as Lu Ziqi looked up, he saw the scene of his parents' death. He was completely frightened and stood there in a daze.

Woo!
In the darkness, another arrow streaked across the night sky, flashing a black light and piercing Lu Ziqi's forehead.

Kill with one arrow!
The commotion here immediately caused the convoy to panic.

"not good!"

"It's dead!"

Everyone shouted and became a mess.

Mei Nianzhi immediately drew his sword and stood up, shouting, "Don't panic, hide behind the carriage first to avoid the arrows!"

Everyone rolled and crawled, hiding themselves, not daring to show their heads.

After a while, there was no movement around, only dead silence.

"what happened?"

"No one is coming to rob us?"

"Could it be that the other party is also waiting for us to get out?" Everyone hid in the back of the carriage and talked in low voices.

It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see anything in the darkness.

After another half an incense stick of time, everyone could no longer bear it, so Mei Nianzhi and a few others walked out from the back of the carriage, looking around with a vigilant look.

There were no signs of any enemy attack.

"strangeness."

Everyone murmured.

Mei Nianzhi did not dare to be careless, and took some people to patrol the area. After finding no suspicious traces, he returned to the convoy.

"No one was seen."

Mei Nianzhi first said something to reassure everyone, then came to the end of the convoy and looked at the three people who had already died.

Three arrows, three people.

Neat.

Targeting only Lu Shizong's family of three seemed more like a vendetta than a robbery.

The fact that he can shoot so accurately at night shows how terrifying his archery skills are.

Mei Nianzhi's heart moved, as if he thought of something, and then shook his head again.

Someone asked, "Master Mei, what's going on?"

Mei Nianzhi said in a deep voice: "It could be the remnants of the Evil Wolf Gang or the Snow Bandits. There are only two or three of them. They can't do anything. They hid in the dark, shot a few arrows and ran away."

"It should be. If there were more people, they would have rushed over long ago."

"This Lu Shizong family is too unlucky."

Mei Nianzhi said a few more words of comfort, and then everyone dispersed.

……

After Chen Tang shot and killed Lu Shizong and three other people, he ran towards the snow-capped mountains without stopping.

The main purpose of coming out today is to find the guest in the mountain.

Take care of Lu Shizong's family while you're at it.

Being targeted by such a villain, you will have no peace from morning to night. To avoid future troubles, you can only cut the weeds at their roots to prevent future troubles.

The distance to the snow mountain from Wu'an County and Changze County is almost the same.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning when Chen Tang climbed up the snow mountain again.

When he just arrived at the foot of the mountain, the mountain king had already noticed it. Standing on the top of the mountain, he looked down at him as he climbed up the snow-capped mountain.

Seeing that Chen Tang's climbing speed was much faster than before, a hint of relief flashed across Tiger's eyes.

When they arrived at the snow mountain, the first person to greet Chen Tang was Xuetuaner.

After not seeing each other for a month, Xuetuan had grown a lot. He could stand on two legs and put his two front paws on Chen Tang's shoulders.

At this moment, a round, furry tiger head pounced over and rubbed Chen Tang's cheek wildly, licking it a few times with its tongue from time to time, and then rubbed it again.

"OK OK."

Chen Tang couldn't stand Xuetuan'er's enthusiasm.

"Ouch!"

Xuetuan growled softly a few times, as if complaining that Chen Tang hadn't come back for so long and didn't let it rub against him enough.

Chen Tang comforted him while walking towards the cave.

After not seeing him for a month, there is no change in the mountain guest.

He was still looking unkempt and pale, leaning against the cold stone wall of the cave. Even his posture was the same as when Chen Tang left last time.

Chen Tang once doubted whether the guest in the mountain had moved during this month.

This is what a homebody is.

"Not bad, I mastered it in just one month."

The guest in the mountain just looked up and saw that Chen Tang had already cultivated to the ninth level.

"Well, let's practice the bone-changing technique."

Chen Tang said: "I also read a bone-changing technique in Qinglong Division, but I feel it is definitely not as good as the senior one."

"Have you joined the Qinglong Division?"

The mountain visitor raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Correct."

It was a rare sight to see a mountain visitor interested in something, so Chen Tang recounted everything that had happened to him over the past month.

It starts from the burning of Qingyun Tower in Changze County and goes all the way to joining the Qinglong Division.

The mountain guest was silent for a long time before he said, "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. You did a good job. There is nothing else, but there is a flaw."

"what?"

Chen Tang asked.

"That knife was not handled well."

Shan Zhongke said calmly: "I guess that knife is probably in the hands of Cai Yin now."

"what?"

Chen Tang was shocked.

Doesn't this mean that he has been exposed?

Shan Zhongke said: "But judging from Cai Yin's behavior, he should not be hostile to you. Just know this and be prepared."

Chen Tang was skeptical about what the mountain visitor said.

He recalled that Cai Yin had never hinted anything to him.

The only unusual thing was that he was recruited into the Qinglong Division as an exception.

Knowing that he was the murderer of a major case in Changze County, why did you still recruit him?
The mountain guest asked again: "What is the relationship between the Qinglong Division and the Xuantian Sect?"

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the Qinglong Division directly obeys the orders of Emperor Qian and supervises all officials. However, the Xuantian Sect does have a transcendent status in the Qian Kingdom, which is extraordinary."

"It's natural."

The guest in the mountain said: "The Xuantian Sect played a great role in the rise of the Qian Kingdom in the chaotic times. If the Xuantian Sect had not released the prophecy that Emperor Qian was the emperor chosen by the real dragon, there would not have been so many followers."

"However, this is also Qian Nation's biggest hidden danger."
