In the woods.

"Who sent you?!"

Li Wuji stared into the black-clothed killer's eyes and asked word for word.

His eyes were red, as if the overwhelming murderous intent had turned into balls of inexhaustible fire.

But the killer looked at Li Wuji coldly, with a smile as if he was looking forward to death, without any intention of speaking.

"explain!"

Li Wuji spoke again, squeezing out a word from between his teeth, and exerting force with his five fingers, it was like an iron pliers clamping the killer's throat, making it difficult for the killer to breathe and his face turned red!

"You...are...Li Wuji..."

"You...can never...know the truth...Sooner or later...someone will come...kill you!"

The killer opened his mouth with difficulty and spoke intermittently. The sneer on his face became ferocious because he could not breathe.

Because he couldn't breathe for a while, his whole body began to convulse, his limbs kept twitching, and the broken knife in his hand also fell from his hand.

After hearing the killer's answer, Li Wuji put a little more force on his five fingers. Due to his excessive anger, his whole arm began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, at this moment, the struggling killer suddenly let out a weird laugh, and then bit his back molar forcefully!

Li Wuji looked stunned. It was too late to stop him. He saw a stream of black blood flowing out from the corner of the killer's mouth. The killer who refused to obey died instantly!

There is poison in the killer's mouth!

It’s still the blood that seals the throat!

"Sir..."

Li Wuji kept holding the killer's throat tightly and stood motionless until he heard Lu Yuan's voice coming from behind, and finally let go.

When Li Wuji let go, the killer's body limply slid to the ground along the trunk of the tree and fell to the side.

Lu Yuan's sword has been sheathed, but at this moment, he is looking at Li Wuji who has his back turned to him with fear and respect on his face.

Since following Li Wuji, this is the first time he has seen Li Wuji take action!

Li Wuji's strength was far beyond his expectation! It was even so profound that it made him shudder!

"Did anyone escape?!"

I don't know how long it took, but Li Wuji finally spoke. The strong murderous intention that filled his body gradually dissipated, and the pressure in the air began to gradually subside.

"If I get back to you, Master, all five of them are dead."

Lu Yuan immediately raised his hands in salute and replied respectfully.

Li Wuji said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the farmhouse where Lian Qi was, without looking at the body on the ground.

After returning to the farmhouse, Li Wuji ordered Lu Yuan to carry both Lian Qi and his grandson to the earthen kang in the house, and finally lit the farmhouse on fire.

Standing outside the dilapidated fence, Li Wuji stared at the farmhouse disappearing in the light of the fire without saying a word, his frown still unable to relax.

So far, Xiyun Town and his party have gained almost nothing.

The last key piece of information that Lian Qi could not say may be the key to solving all the doubts, but at this moment, it could only be completely burned by the fire along with Lian Qi's body.

But at least from Lian Qi's words, he confirmed his guess. There was something fishy about the death of the late emperor and the prince's rebellion.

As for what's hidden, it seems he has to continue to investigate.

The origin of that group of mysterious killers who suddenly appeared is still unknown. At first, he suspected that they were people from the Five Elements Division, but he had fought against people from the Five Elements Division and knew the strength of the people in the Five Elements Division.

Those killers are obviously more difficult to deal with than the people from the Five Elements Division.

Moreover, he came in a sudden appearance, and it was impossible for the people from the Five Elements Division to keep up with him. The only explanation is that these people may have discovered Lian Qi's hiding place long ago and have been secretly monitoring him until he appeared.

After coming here, he suddenly appeared and killed people and silenced them!

But if the people behind the scenes had discovered Lian Qi a long time ago, why did they keep him alive until now?

Are you inviting me to show up?!

Or is it still showing up in Yin Pang Xun’s old department?!

Or, the prince’s old department?!

Everything once again plunged Li Wuji into doubts, as if there was an invisible magic hand controlling everything secretly.

"Sir, what are your plans next?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked slowly.

"Go back to the capital!"

"Since someone wants to cover this world with darkness, then I will clear the sky and break the sky!"

"From now on, if you stand in the way of people, you will kill! If you stand in the way of the devil, you will kill the devil!"

Li Wuji took a deep breath, said something lightly, turned around and walked towards the bullock cart.

Lu Yuan nodded and followed respectfully, his eyebrows full of reverence.

The fire behind him was burning brightly, lighting up the entire Xiyun Town.

...

On the mountain road.

Leng Yue rode a fast horse and rode quickly without any expression on her face.

After evacuating from the thatched cottage in the mountain, she led her people back to the three-way intersection, divided her troops into two groups, and continued to pursue them.

Fortunately, we met a caravan on the way and captured a few fast horses from it, so we pursued them all the way down.

However, a whole night and half a day passed, and still nothing was caught. Master Wuji seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

What she didn't know was that the Master Wuji she was chasing was not going to the north at all.

At this moment, there was a neighing sound, and the fast horse finally couldn't support it anymore, its legs went weak, and it fell directly to the ground!

Leng Yue was stunned, hurriedly patted the horse's back, jumped up, flipped deftly in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.

Several men nearby also quickly reined in their reins and stopped aside. The remaining horses were also exhausted and huffing and puffing.

No matter how majestic the horse is, it cannot withstand the constant running.

"Sir, I have chased for hundreds of miles and still haven't found any clues. The sisters on the other side have not sent back any news. Could it be..."

One of his men got off his horse, came to Leng Yue, and said hesitantly.

Although she didn't finish her words, Leng Yue already understood the meaning of her words, but she was unwilling to give in!

I am not willing to let Young Master Wuji slip away from me, and I am even more unwilling to be teased by Young Master Wuji like this!

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the air, and a homing pigeon circled and flew towards Leng Yue!

"Sir! There is news!"

The subordinate looked up, shouted in surprise, reached out to catch the carrier pigeon, took off a small bamboo tube from his ankle, and took out a narrow note from it.

The subordinate did not hesitate and immediately opened the note, and then couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong?!"

Leng Yue noticed the expression on his men's faces and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, there is news from the capital that Master Wuji suddenly appeared in the capital!"

The subordinate hurriedly handed over the note in his hand and said with a suspicious look on his face.

Leng Yue frowned, took the note, glanced at it, gritted her teeth, and got on the horse that was also exhausted!

"Notify everyone and return to the capital immediately!"

As the words fell, Leng Yue had already galloped towards the capital.

The subordinate agreed, got on his companion's horse, and hurriedly followed.

...

capital.

The sun sets in the west.

Qingfeng Restaurant.

The tired Leng Yue finally arrived at the place where Mr. Wuji mentioned in the news from his subordinates appeared. He jumped off the horse and rushed straight into the restaurant.

Along the way, she had already exhausted her second horse. If she hadn't changed to another horse from the official post on the way, she might not have been able to reach the capital at this time.

"Sir, inside..."

"grown ups..."

When the restaurant waiter saw a guest coming to the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. However, when he saw Leng Yue wearing the official uniform of the Five Elements, he was frightened and immediately saluted.

Leng Yue didn't even look at the waiter, and went directly to the second floor. Then she found a familiar figure standing at the door of a private room!

Dillon whom I met at the thatched cottage in the mountains!
