Free Web NovelThe border area between the Eastern Wasteland Region and Ningcang Region.
Crossing the border and moving forward, one would reach the famous Jinghai Dense Forest, which was also the last county town before entering Yunzhou from the Central Divine Continent. Many passing merchants and Jianghu wanderers would stop here, making it a considerably large settlement.
The wind began to blow.
The boundless leaves rustled, truly sounding like ocean waves.
Senior Brother Shen Yunfei's old home was here, a large three-courtyard mansion.
When the Qingyuan Sect members arrived, they were naturally given a warm reception by the Shen family.
At this moment, Shen Yunfei was introducing his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters to his parents:
"This is Junior Brother Ouyang, the chief Disciple of Ruyi Peak. Not only is he incredibly strong, but his painting skills are also exquisite."
"Greetings, Uncle."
Ouyang bowed and then pulled out a painting album from his In arms:
"Uncle, I heard you run a bookstore business. I have a painting album here..."
"Let's discuss business matters later."
Shen Yunfei cleared his throat lightly and lowered his voice as he introduced:
"Oh, and this is Li... Hmm? Where is he?"
"They went to interrogate those assassins," Ouyang said.
"The Approaching Storm Order..."
Shen Yunfei frowned and sighed:
"Whenever this order appears, it means the Rain Listening Pavilion has grand ambitions. Junior Brother Li will likely struggle to get anything out of them."
Most assassins from the Rain Listening Pavilion would rather die than reveal the organization's secrets.
Because once they became a traitor, their fate would probably be worse than death.
Ouyang nodded and added:
"So, Junior Brother Li also has a Pu... What was it again? Oh, Purplish Blue."
"What is Purplish Blue..."
"It's the second plan."
Ouyang lowered his voice, motioning for his Senior Brothers to lean in. As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a cackling laugh.
And the more the others listened, the more peculiar their expressions became.
Not far away.
Shen's father and mother exchanged glances.
"Husband, the Qingyuan Sect is a righteous sect, isn't it?" Shen's mother asked worriedly.
Shen's father scratched his head: "I remember it is..."
He thought of the book "the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me" that Ouyang had given him.
And the oddly bound big men who had just been escorted into the woodshed, their mouths gagged with cloth, making it look like a kidnapping.
Old Shen felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, Shen Yunfei walked forward:
"Father, please cooperate with us later."
"Ah?"
..........
Inside the woodshed.
Li Mo sat on a stool drinking tea, while Ying Bing stood by the door, holding her sword.
"So you're called Bloodhand Vulture, huh? You lose a hair for every person you kill, and now your hair and eyebrows are all gone, so you must have killed countless people, right?"
Li Shaoxia asked righteously.
"This... Actually... Actually, when I was taking a medicinal bath, I swapped the Body Tempering potion for depilatory cream, so my hair and eyebrows fell out," Bloodhand Vulture said awkwardly.
"And you? Death-Eyed Blade? Your Jianghu reputation is quite notorious, isn't it? Whoever you look at dies?"
"My eyes get dry easily, you see... It's Innate dry eye syndrome. When the wind picks up, my eyes can't help but squint."
"Jade Faced Flying Dragon, I heard you even dared to intercept Zhennan King's birthday tribute? You're quite arrogant."
Li Mo didn't have the boy with a large head, so he could only slap the tea table directly with his hand.
Jade Faced Flying Dragon lowered his head: "How would I dare to touch Zhennan King's birthday tribute? When you're out in the Jianghu, you need some impressive deeds to show off, don't you..."
Li Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
These guys could actually become butchers?
Indeed, every organization is bound to have a mix of good and bad, and even the Rain Listening Pavilion was no exception.
"My Qingyuan Sect governs a prefecture and is irreconcilable with evil."
"What are the Rain Listening Pavilion's deployments in Yunzhou, and what are you doing? Confess honestly."
"Considering your sins are not deep, I might still give you a chance."
As his words fell.
The few people exchanged glances, all extremely hesitant.
The assassin, wrapped entirely in gauze, snorted coldly:
"You yellow-mouthed brat, how dare you interrogate us? Kill or dismember us as you please!"
"Otherwise, when the experts from my organization arrive, they will surely leave you without a burial place!"
As an emotionless assassin.
Being tied up in such a posture was simply a great humiliation!
The other few also flushed, feeling indignant.
Hmm?
Ying Bing's gaze swept over them, seemingly displeased.
They quieted down.
But they exchanged glances, still not daring to speak.
It was fine to slack off in the organization, but if they leaked secrets, their fate would truly be worse than being killed by Li Mo; at least that would be quick.
"Since you are so stubborn..."
Li Mo patted his clothes, stood up, walked to the door, and gestured to Ying Bing.
Then, he walked out the door.
Ying Bing, expressionless, drew her Frost Sky Sword and slowly approached.
Looking at the young girl, the assassins felt a faint regret. Jade Faced Flying Dragon was so scared that tears streamed down his face, shaking his head frantically.
But.
Just at this moment.
Clang, clang, clang—
Suddenly, sounds of fighting erupted outside, mixed with voices.
"Who are you?!" This was Li Mo's voice.
"Heh heh, the one who will take your life."
This was a low, guttural voice.
Sensing something was wrong, Ying Bing also flew out.
Boom—
Bang bang—
Crack, crack, crack—
The entire courtyard seemed to be engulfed in a fierce battle.
Before long, a hammer flew through the air, smashing the main door.
A figure in a black robe, holding a bizarre short-handled hammer, with sharp Killing Intent swirling around him, exuded an incredibly fierce and intimidating aura.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person."
He said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency is..."
"Northwest Hammer King."
The person took out a Hall Courtyard Swallow, revealing his identity.
"Outside..."
"It's handled, come with me quickly."
Clang—
The Chixiao Sword was thrown to the ground, motionless, as if it had lost its spiritual essence.
Bloodhand Vulture was greatly shocked.
When did such a powerful newcomer appear in the organization? Even that terrifyingly powerful and cold young girl was no match for him?
But the Hall Courtyard Swallow couldn't be fake!
The few people no longer doubted. After the Northwest Hammer King released them from their restraints, they followed closely behind him.
Midway.
The Qingyuan Sect Disciples stepped forward to block them.
"Madman, don't leave!"
Ouyang was at the forefront, attempting to block them.
Then he was sent flying by a single hammer blow.
Pfft—
He spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground, his limbs twitching. It was clear he couldn't be saved.
The Qingyuan Sect Disciples who tried to block them were not even a match for a single hammer blow!
Before long. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
They fled into the Jinghai Dense Forest.
This dense forest stretched for a thousand miles. Without a guide, it was impossible to discern directions. Its winding paths made tracking impossible, allowing them to evade pursuit.
Finally, they followed the Northwest Hammer King to a safe place.
"Brother Hammer King, thank you for your assistance."
Bloodhand Vulture bowed, extremely grateful.
If such a ruthless person grew up, he would probably be no less formidable than the Heavenly Devil Saintess.
If they could cling to his coattails...
"We're all colleagues in the organization, no need for thanks. I was just passing by," the Northwest Hammer King said indifferently.
He then spoke quite naturally:
"By the way, you're going to Yunzhou, has something happened in the organization?"
"Brother Hammer King doesn't know?" Jade Faced Flying Dragon looked puzzled.
Such a ruthless person, no matter which branch he was in, would be a core figure. He shouldn't be unaware of even the Approaching Storm Order.
"I was the top ranked in the Wu Jian Trial of Ziyang Prefecture. The Ziyang branch was destroyed, and I still haven't found the organization."
"So that's how it is."
They had all heard about the Ziyang Prefecture incident and immediately showed sympathy.
"If it weren't for Shang Wu, Brother Hammer King, you would have risen quickly by now."
Recalling their own recent experiences, Bloodhand Vulture and the others were filled with anger.
The Northwest Hammer King nodded, and even snorted coldly with great indignation:
"That Shang Wu humiliated me repeatedly, and beat me many times! She even released her Inner Scenery domain, roasting me with fire while beating me!"
"And... and she even made me cook for her!"
The few people: "!!"
That's too tragic, isn't it?
An assassin reduced to cooking for someone, and suffering beatings every day, it was truly heartbreaking to hear and tear-inducing to witness.
Even more astonishing was that, having fallen into the hands of that female Devil Head, Brother Hammer King actually escaped alive?
At once, the few people, feeling empathetic, had an urge to become sworn brothers with the Northwest Hammer King.
"Brother Hammer King, don't panic."
"Once you return to the organization, you will surely soar, and then you can personally wash away this humiliation!"
And so.
Next.
The few people spilled everything they knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
This included the location of the Yunzhou Rain Listening Pavilion branch, the Rain Listening Pavilion experts they knew had gone to Yunzhou...
Finally, Bloodhand Butcher regretfully said:
"Brother Hammer King, you killed Li Mo of the Qingyuan Sect, but it's a pity you didn't leave any proof."
"Otherwise, taking it to claim the reward would also be a considerable sum of silver."
"Oh?"
The Northwest Hammer King seemed a little tempted: "That Li Mo has a bounty on his head, and he's worth a lot?"
"Indeed, but..."
Death-Eyed Blade advised: "The county is already under martial law now. Even the garrison troops have probably arrived. If we go back, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"That's right, it's too late."
"By the way, is that Li Mo dead or not?"
"What a pity, I still wanted to personally finish him off."
.....
The few people were brimming with Killing Intent, completely abandoning their previous weak, pitiful, and helpless demeanor.
But then they heard the Northwest Hammer King in front of them laugh:
"No need for trouble, why go back and look?"
The few butchers and assassins froze.
He removed his Azure Dragon iron mask, shed the faceless glazed gauze, and laughed:
"We meet again. Surprised? Unexpected?"
As his words fell.
The Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the Qingyuan Sect also walked out from the forest, including Ouyang, who had been 'severely wounded and dead'.
.....
The dense forest immediately fell into silence.
This Northwest Hammer King was none other than Li Mo.
The few people's scalps tingled, and their eyes widened.
How... did they even resort to entrapment?
