Chapter 334 I'm afraid he will dirty my sword!
The black city wall came into view. Looking at Tianxuan City in the distance, the four of them stopped together. Xu Jie took a breath and spoke.
"Yu Hao and Xiao Ji first went to the city to check out the situation and find the Xuanming Sect's headquarters. Lu and I were wandering around the village outside. First, we went to see if Li Yingying's village was still there?"
"Okay, no problem!"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said there was no problem. The group of four people immediately divided into two teams, and one team walked towards Tianxuan City.
The first team stayed where they were, watching Huo Yuhao take Ji Juechen into Tianxuan City. Xu Jie and Dugu Lu still stayed where they were.
Huo Yuhao, who has reached level 70 in cultivation, has reached the level of Titled Douluo in mental strength, and the range of his mental detection light can even reach 10,000 meters when fully deployed.
Of course, the mental power will be exhausted quickly. As the mental detection unfolds, the mental power consumed will also increase exponentially.
However, with the improvement of mental power, Huo Yuhao does not need to control the use of simulated soul skills every moment, and can completely maintain it for a period of time.
Xu Jie and Dugu Lu were not afraid that the disguise left by Huo Yuhao would be broken. He and Dugu Lu squatted on the edge of the official road and scanned the pedestrians on the road.
Several copper soul coins appeared in Xu Jie's hands. Xu Jie stood up and walked towards an old man who looked like a local and shouted.
"Old man, old man..."
Xu Jie's voice reached his ears. The old man carrying a backpack turned back to look at Xu Jie. Seeing that Xu Jie was wearing the same linen clothes as him, he spoke.
"Young boy, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing serious. My two brothers came to Tianxuan City to visit relatives. They just wanted to ask you for directions. Don't worry, I won't let you give directions in vain."
As he spoke, Xu Jie waved a few copper soul coins in his hand. The old man saw the copper soul coins in Xu Jie's hand and said enthusiastically.
"Ask, where are you going? I have lived here for fifty years, and there is no place I don't know!"
"Do you know Lijiacun!?" Xu Jie asked. The Lijiacun he mentioned was the small village where Li Yingying used to live.
"Lijia Village? Are there any relatives of yours in the village?" The old man looked at Xu Jie and frowned slightly, his previous enthusiasm slowly disappearing.
"Yes, Li Tianying is my uncle!" Xu Jie said. The Li Tianying he mentioned was Li Yingying's father. Xu Jie had already asked about Li Yingying's family information two days ago.
"There is no such person, there is no such person!" To Xu Jie and Dugu Lu's surprise, the name Li Tianying came out.
The old man waved his hands hurriedly and said, keeping his words to himself. Without looking at the copper soul coin in Xu Jie's hand, he was about to leave with the basket on his back.
Seeing this, Xu Jie and Dugu Lu looked at each other. Dugu Lu took a step forward and said, "Old man, how could there be no Li Tianying? Our two fathers are the sons of Uncle Tianying's comrades.
Dad specially asked me to come over to visit Uncle Tianying. If you don’t believe it, we still have badges here. "
With that said, Dugu Lu took out a gray badge from his pocket. The old man looked at the gray badge and paused.
He looked deeply at Xu Jie and Dugu Lu, and finally said, "You two, follow me. I am the village chief of Lijia Village."
Hearing the sound, Xu Jie hurriedly stepped forward and snatched away Village Chief Li's backpack. Village Chief Li did not fight with Xu Jie and allowed Xu Jie to carry the basket on his body.
"Young boy, show me your badge!" The old man looked at the badge in Dugu Lu's hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"Here!" Dugu Lu handed the gray badge in his hand to Village Chief Li. Village Chief Li took the badge and looked at it carefully.
But the more he looked at it, the more sorrowful expression appeared on Village Chief Li's face. Xu Jie and Dugu Lu looked at Village Chief Li and knew that they had indeed found the right place.
In addition to finding out from Li Yingying that his father's name was Li Tianying, Xu Jie also knew that Li Yingying's father was a veteran who had joined the Dou Ling Army.
But Li Yingying was too young and didn't know which army he was joining nearby.
Fortunately, each of Dou Ling's armies had fixed recruiting locations, so Xu Jie naturally guessed that Li Tianying was joining Dou Ling's Dou Ling Second Army.
He was specially asked to find the badge issued by the Dou Ling Second Army Group and the Veterans Association. Sure enough, it came in handy today.
"What's wrong, village chief?" Dugu Lu looked at Village Chief Li and asked pretending to be confused.
"Let's talk after we enter the village." Village Chief Li handed the token back to Dugu Lu, but he did not answer Dugu Lu directly.
Xu Jie and Dugu Lu didn't ask any questions when they heard the sound. Instead, they followed the old village chief and turned from the official road into a small alley.
Although Lijia Village belongs to Tianxuan City, it is still quite far away from Tianxuan City. Xu Jie and Dugu Lu even walked for half an hour behind Village Chief Li before they saw a village in the distance.
As soon as they saw the village, Village Chief Li stopped and turned into a trail from the fork in the road.
"Village Chief, did we go to the wrong place?" Xu Jie noticed that they were not heading towards the village and couldn't help but ask.
"You're right. If you want to see Li Tianying, just follow me. Li Tianying is not in the village!"
Village Chief Li waved his hand, signaling Xu Jie and Dugu Lu to follow suit and stop talking nonsense.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, the dense woods suddenly disappeared, and a clearing with dense earthy patches appeared in front of them.
The area of the open space is not large, only about a hundred or so square meters. The earthen bags are all tombs. Most of the tombs have stone tombstones in front of them, and a few are made of wood.
There were only a few with nothing in front of them. Village Chief Li took Xu Jie and Dugu Lu to a grave without a tombstone.
The old man squatted in the dirt bag and dug it twice with his hands. He quickly dug out a rusty badge from the soil. Judging from its vague shape, it was exactly the same as the one Dugu Lu had taken out before.
"Village chief, what is this?" Xu Jie looked at the rusty badge in the village chief's hand and asked.
"Li Tianying is dead. All four members of his family are dead." Village Chief Li said, "I told him not to bring his daughter into the city. If he doesn't listen, it will be a disaster!"
"Village Chief, what happened?" Dugu Lu said with a surprised look on his face.
"What can happen is that the soul master of Xuanming Sect takes a fancy to him and his family refuses to obey. How can we, the common people, resist?
Who can fight against a soul master like this! "Village Chief Li squatted on the ground with a look of sorrow on his face. Although he called you "Sir", he really didn't show any respect for the soul master.
"Village Chief, do you know which soul master was responsible?" Xu Jie asked.
"Young man, why are you asking about this? Listen to my advice, we cannot resist those soul masters.
It’s just that poor girl Ying, I don’t know where she went! "Village Chief Li talked about Yingying girl, and he guessed that he was talking about Li Yingying,
"My brother and I have come here, but we didn't expect this result. Even if we are asked to go back, we have to find out who did it. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to dad when we go back!"
Xu Jie said sincerely.
Village Chief Li looked at Xu Jie's appearance, sighed softly, and said: "That person's name is Xu Sishi, and he is not just from our village.
There are also many women in the surrounding villages who have been harmed by him. Go back early, young people, this is not your business! "
After saying that, regardless of whether Xu Jie and Dugu Lu heard it or not, they took the backpack from Xu Jie's hand and walked back.
Xu Jie watched Village Chief Li disappear from sight and finally said, "This is what we can take care of!"
Dugu Lu on the side also nodded silently. He also buried the gray badge in his hand in front of Li Tianying's grave. He looked back at Xu Jie and asked.
"Xu Jie, what should we do now?"
"Go on and inquire!" Xu Jie said.
"Still asking that?"
"No, go directly to the village chief of each village, show your strength, and ask directly. Otherwise, the speed will be too slow!"
As he spoke, seven soul rings, yellow, purple, black, black, and red, rose from the soles of Xu Jie's feet, and the two of them sank directly into the dense forest beside them.
Find the villages around it.
On the other side, on the streets of Tianxuan City, Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen were like country bumpkins, looking left and right.
They seemed to be country people who had never been to a big city. Many people in the city looked at Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen, who were dressed in linen clothes, and showed scornful smiles.
Huo Yuhao didn't care at all. The mental detection spread out within a hundred meters, and all the information within a hundred meters was collected into Huo Yuhao's mind.
With the chaotic and noisy information entering his mind, Huo Yuhao carefully identified the surrounding situation. Soon, a man wearing black mysterious clothes and the aura of a water-attribute soul master broke into Huo Yuhao's mental detection.
The man's steps were sloppy, his skin was pale, and he had dark circles under his eyes. At first glance, he looked like he was overindulging in lust.
Feeling that the man was walking into a very prosperous restaurant on the street, Huo Yuhao patted Ji Juechen beside him and motioned for Ji Juechen to follow him.
Standing in front of the restaurant named Xuanshui, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh, there are so many types of businesses in Xuanming Sect!
With that in mind, Huo Yuhao was about to take Ji Juechen into the restaurant. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his feet, a boy rushed in front of them.
"Two guests, this is not the place you should be." No soul power was felt from Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen.
There was a look of disdain on the boy's face.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly when he heard the sound. He put his hand into his arms and took out a bag full of gold soul coins. He took out a gold soul coin from it and looked at the boy coldly.
"you sure?"
To Huo Yuhao's surprise, when the boy saw the gold soul coin, he still looked disdainful and said, "So what if you have money? This is not a place for commoners like you!"
As he spoke, a white soul ring rose from the soles of the boy's feet. He raised his head and looked at Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen with disdain.
"Okay!" Huo Yuhao looked at the white soul ring on the boy's body, thinking that it would be better to do less than to do more, and shook his head.
He put the golden soul coin back into his arms and prepared to take Ji Juechen away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, the boy's voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's ears again.
"Wait a minute, hand over your gold soul coins to me!"
Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped and looked back at the boy. Ji Juechen walked away as if he was looking for something.
When the boy saw Huo Yuhao's companions leaving, he said even more arrogantly: "Don't you understand that a common man is not guilty but only carries the treasure? Those golden soul coins are not something you, a little commoner, can possess!"
At the same time that the boy said these words, people around him had gathered around. It looked lively, but no one chose to speak up!
He pointed at Huo Yuhao and the boy, and even made a bet on whether Huo Yuhao would hand over the gold soul coin.
Hearing the noisy sounds around him, Huo Yuhao noticed that the man who might have been a disciple of the Xuanming Sect was also lying at the window on the second floor watching the excitement.
"Hey!" Huo Yuhao sighed softly. He looked at the boy and asked, "I can give you the gold soul coin.
I want to know how many people you have blackmailed? "
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, before the boy could reply, someone started cheering him around.
"Not much! One time, a beggar passed by Xuanshui Restaurant. He was beaten half to death by this man. He took away all the soul coins he had begged for, and then he threw them outside the city."
As soon as this person spoke, someone questioned: "Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't you notice that there are no beggars in this street full of restaurants? There are very few civilians.
This is the only outsider who is not a soul master who dares to walk on this street and go into Xuanshui Restaurant! "
Listening to the boy's deeds, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a hint of coldness. He threw the money bag in his hand to the boy and asked.
"I want to know if what they say is true or not!"
"Of course it's true, what kind of place is this? The Xuanshui Restaurant is located, the most prosperous place in the entire Tianxuan City.
How can beggars be allowed to exist! "The boy touched the money bag in his hand with a happy look on his face. He didn't see the coldness in Huo Yuhao's eyes at all.
Through mental detection, Huo Yuhao could see that what this boy said was completely true.
"You're so damned good!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a white light flashed in the air.
puff!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard, and white light hit the boy's body, knocking him down instantly. For a moment, red, white, and green, mixed with blood, flowed out of the boy's body.
The door of Xuanshui Restaurant was dyed red.
At this time, everyone saw clearly that what hit the boy was a butcher knife with signs of use.
Huo Yuhao looked at the butcher knife and was quite speechless, "You ran two streets just for this."
Through mental detection, Huo Yuhao naturally knew Ji Juechen's movement trajectory.
"I'm just afraid that he will dirty my sword! And Brother Wuying told me not to use the sword!" Ji Juechen's plain voice sounded.
Huo Yuhao had a look of despair on his face, "Brother, you have already said it, so what else does it mean?"
"That's right, then I'd better use a sword!" Ji Juechen still had an indifferent expression on his face, and with his handsome face like dawn, he had the feeling of a swordsman in white.
The boy raised his head and looked at Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen in disbelief. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything because his mouth was full of blood!
"Gulu gulu..."
At this time, the people around him finally reacted. Screams broke out and the crowd immediately dispersed.
There were also many soul masters who summoned martial souls and moved closer to Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen. A long gray sword exuding a strong evil cold air appeared in Ji Juechen's hand.
This is the eighth-level melee soul tool that Xu Jie gave to Ji Juechen - the Yinhan Sword!
"Brother, retreat first, it's not time to fight yet." Huo Yuhao looked helpless as Ji Juechen took out his sword.
He hurriedly pulled Ji Juechen into a side alley.
