Chapter 185 Huo Tianxiao's Death, Lian Shizong

Huo Tianxiao is in a bad mood now.

First of all, it is naturally because of the recent great changes on the mountain.

The great village chief who used to be clear about rewards and punishments and had great ambitions, now listens to others for his own selfishness, causing the earliest group of brothers to be disunited, and has been suppressed by the later group of people to the point that he can't even raise his head.

How can he not be angry.

And there is Zhan Feng's attitude today.

Once upon a time, Zhan Feng's name was so loud that everyone in the mountain would respectfully call him the second village chief.

But now he has fallen to patrolling the mountains and guarding the village, and he is still unwilling to stand up and resist, which makes Huo Tianxiao feel deeply disappointed.

"Damn, they are all a bunch of trash."

Huo Tianxiao spat viciously and decided to secretly connect people after returning to find a way to overthrow those guys who are domineering.

Just as he was angry, a black shadow appeared silently behind him.

Huo Tianxiao was unaware and strode forward.

But just after turning a corner, this figure suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his neck with lightning speed, and dragged him into the bushes beside him.

Caught off guard, Huo Tianxiao didn't even have time to shout, and was dragged into the bushes by Zhao Ya.

"Don't move if you don't want to die."

Zhao Ya's arm tightly strangled Huo Tianxiao's neck and warned in a low voice.

Huo Tianxiao had rolled his eyes and his eyes were black, but the instinct for survival prompted him to keep slapping Zhao Ya's elbow to indicate his surrender.

Zhao Ya then loosened his grip slightly.

Air rushed into his throat and then into his already shriveled lungs. Huo Tianxiao felt as if he had died once, and his whole body was wet with sweat.

At this time, with the help of the lights in the distance, he finally saw the person who grabbed him, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.

"You..."

"It's me!" Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Fifth Village Master, long time no see."

Huo Tianxiao couldn't stop trembling.

He naturally knew Zhao Ya.

And it was because he knew him that he felt fear.

All this was because Zhao Ya had left a very deep impression on him.

At that time, Zhao Ya, with his strength of only the third realm, almost killed Zhan Feng, who was in the fourth realm.

Although Zhan Feng finally escaped by luck with his profound skills, one eye was still blind, and he was also infected with a strange poison. From then on, he could no longer exert excessive strength and was like a disabled person.

In comparison, Ma Ling, the sixth village master who also died at the hands of Zhao Ya, was not even worth mentioning.

He was so powerful at the beginning, and now he dared to return alone, obviously he had a greater support.

Especially just now, he was captured by him without knowing it. If he hadn't shown mercy, he would have become a dead body now.

It can be seen how strong he is.

These thoughts flashed through Huo Tianxiao's mind, and then he said with a humble face.

"So it's Young Master Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Stop talking nonsense, what is the current situation in Qingzhuling, and where did those people who came later come from? Tell the truth, if you lie, you will bear the consequences."

Time was pressing, Zhao Ya was in no mood to be pretentious with Huo Tianxiao, and asked directly.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"

Huo Tianxiao didn't dare to hide it, because he didn't know what Zhao Ya knew, so he just told it all.

And through his narration, Zhao Ya knew what happened in Qingzhuling.

It turned out that after the battle between Hong and Yang and Qingzhuling to besiege the Song family ended, the three parties entered a short period of calm.

But soon, with the failure of all the meat fields obtained from the Song family, and even a few unlucky people were backfired by the meat fields, and fell into the same fate as Zhan Feng, the contradictions between the three parties increased sharply, and each of them thought that the other party was behind it.

Especially because the Hong and Yang families suffered the most serious losses, the gap between them and Qingzhuling gradually emerged.

But if that was all, it would be fine, at most it would be a situation of mutual restraint and mutual use.

But later, with a group of people joining Qingzhuling, things changed again.

The new group claimed to be from the Lianshi Sect and had strange and unspeakable means of poisoning.

As soon as they arrived, they presented an iron mine to Fu Tingyuan, the leader of Qingzhuling, and won Fu Tingyuan's trust.

Later, in order to mine this iron mine, Qingzhuling began to arrest people on a large scale, and the people of Wuxiang City naturally bore the brunt and became the target of being killed.

This also became the fuse for the conflict between the two sides.

Because no matter how stupid the Hong and Yang families were, they understood that the people under their rule were the foundation of their wealth, so they lodged a solemn protest against Qingzhuling's actions.

Unexpectedly, the Lianshi Sect people made another big move right after that.

They openly spread the newly developed poison in Wuxiang City. According to Fu Tingyuan's idea, they wanted to use this to warn the Hong and Yang families.

But who would have thought that the poison made by the Lianshi Sect was too strong and killed half of the people in the city at once.

This mess was really big.

For this reason, the Hong and Yang families fought with Qingzhuling, but even if they joined forces, they were no match for Qingzhuling with the participation of Lianshi Sect.

After a big battle, the two families were defeated, and all the people in the family were captured in Qingzhuling.

Also captured were the strong men in the entire Wuxiang City.

They were all thrown into the mine and became miners.

This is why the Wuxiang City that Zhao Ya saw was so desolate.

"Lianshi Sect..."

Zhao Ya's eyes moved slightly.

Because this naming method gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Thinking of the Bliss Sect he had met before, Zhao Ya already had some guesses in his mind.

"I just heard Zhan Feng say that your big village chief is breaking through the fifth realm with the help of this group of people, is it true?"

Huo Tianxiao's heart trembled when he heard this, and he secretly thanked himself for not lying just now, otherwise he would definitely be dead now.

Because Zhao Ya had obviously eavesdropped on his conversation with Zhan Feng in the dark just now, otherwise he would not have understood it so clearly.

"Yes, the group of people from Lianshi Sect said that they could help break through the pass, so the big village chief believed them and is now in seclusion."

"Where is the seclusion place?" Zhao Ya asked immediately.

Huo Tianxiao hesitated, and then said: "It's under the dripping cliff behind the Zhongting village."

Then Zhao Ya asked some more questions, and Huo Tianxiao answered them one by one.

After asking, Zhao Ya nodded.

"Very good!"

Huo Tianxiao realized something and immediately began to beg for mercy.

"Young man, spare my life. I was just following orders before, and I didn't deliberately go against you. Now I know I was wrong, so as long as you can spare my life, I promise to leave Qingzhuling immediately and never do evil again."

"Are you sure you can do it?" Zhao Ya asked.

Huo Tianxiao nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, I can swear to heaven that from now on I will retire to the mountains and forests and never do evil again."

"Okay, then I'll spare you this time!"

Zhao Ya let go of his hand.

Huo Tianxiao secretly let out a long breath, pretended to be grateful, and thanked Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya waved his hand, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Huo Tianxiao's heart finally fell to the ground. He sat silently in the grass for a while, and then planned to get up and report the matter to others.

But as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then all the muscles in his body became stiff and uncontrollable.

With a plop.

He fell to the ground, his heart filled with fear.

He wanted to make a sound to attract the attention of the patrolling minions, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even open his mouth, let alone shout.

Not only that, Huo Tianxiao felt that he couldn't even breathe, as if the muscles that controlled his breathing were also paralyzed.

At this time, a voice came from above his head.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you going to tell someone?"

It was Zhao Ya who had returned.

He also knew that Huo Tianxiao couldn't speak at this time.

Because just now, he had planted several kinds of poisons in Huo Tianxiao's body.

Some were hallucinogenic, and some paralyzed muscles.

The combination of these poisons, let alone Huo Tianxiao, even a warrior at the peak of the fourth realm would have to die obediently.

After three minutes, Zhao Ya suddenly heard a slight click in the throat of Huo Tianxiao, who was lying on the ground, and knew that he had died.

The poisons Zhao Ya had given were extremely potent.

Only after death would the tense and numb muscles relax.

Zhao Ya leaned over to confirm that Huo Tianxiao was dead, and then he began to search the body.

Zhao Ya's skills in searching corpses were now superb.

Even though Huo Tianxiao was lying on the ground, Zhao Ya still searched all his belongings.

There was no time to look closely, so he put all these things into the deerskin bag first, and then Zhao Ya dodged and ran to the big camp of Qingzhuling.

Zhao Ya knew that if he wanted to solve the problem of Qingzhuling, killing a few people like Huo Tianxiao or Zhan Feng would be useless.

Only by destroying the big camp owner Fu Tingyuan could the problem be solved fundamentally.

And this matter should be done sooner rather than later, especially after hearing that Fu Tingyuan was impacting the fifth realm, Zhao Ya also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although he didn't think that Fu Tingyuan could break through the pass with the help of Lianshizong, it's not a bad thing to be cautious.

This is the first.

The second is to get rid of Lianshizong's gang as soon as possible.

Because this group of people is very likely to belong to the devil sect like the Jile Sect.

And unlike the Jile Sect, which specializes in illusion, Lianshizong obviously follows the poison route.

Zhao Ya, who is also deeply involved in poison, knows that Lianshizong is much more dangerous than Jile Sect.

The death of half of the people in Wuxiang City this time is a clear proof. If this group of people is allowed to go unpunished, it will be a big harm.

So Zhao Ya quickly changed his strategy, from the initial spying to a tentative attack.

If Qingzhuling can be destroyed, it will be better.

If not, we have to find a way to create some chaos.

As he went deeper, even with the blessing of the two major martial arts of Breath Containment and Light as a Swallow, Zhao Ya's speed inevitably slowed down.

Because the further you go in, the stricter the guards are.

Zhao Ya understood.

These guards are not only for enemies from outside, but more importantly, to prevent people in the mine from escaping.

Because according to Huo Tianxiao, this newly discovered iron mine is in the back mountain of Qingzhuling, very close.

In today's world, the value of iron ore is more valuable than copper or even silver.

Because iron ore can be used to forge weapons and armor, which is the foundation of life in troubled times.

And Fu Tingyuan values ​​this iron mine so much, it can be seen that he is planning something big.

Relying on his superb body skills, Zhao Ya sometimes crawled in the grass, sometimes climbed up the hill and walked among the rocks.

Finally, he climbed to the main peak of Qingzhu Ridge.

After entering the bamboo forest, the pressure suddenly eased.

After all, no one could have imagined that someone would avoid the heavy defenses and sneak into the main peak quietly, so the defense here was extremely weak.

Zhao Ya walked through the bamboo forest, stopping from time to time to avoid the crowds walking on the mountain road in the distance.

Even though it was late at night, the main peak of Qingzhu Ridge was still very busy.

People shuttled back and forth on the mountain road, pushing carts or carrying things on their shoulders, carrying all kinds of things to the back mountain.

Zhao Ya knew that they should be transporting supplies to the mine, but he didn't pay attention to it, but avoided the crowded places and soon came to the top of Qingzhu Ridge.

It was much quieter here.

In addition to some guards, only the lights in the courtyard were shining.

But there is no one here.

Because Huo Tianxiao made it clear that the Zhongting Village would only be used when a big party was held, and it was usually idle.

Therefore, Zhao Ya bypassed the guards and sneaked into the Zhongting Village.

He planned to go directly from the Zhongting Village to the back mountain, which would not only be the shortest route, but also avoid many troubles.

But when he passed through the front hall and came to the door of the Zhongting, a figure inside made him stop immediately, and then he dodged and hid.

In this brightly lit but empty hall, there was a person with his back to the door, as if he was thinking about something.

From the back, the figure was slender and charming, and it turned out to be a woman.

Zhao Ya was stunned at first, and then he recognized this person.

Fu Tingfang.

The younger sister of Fu Tingyuan, the owner of Qingzhuling Village, was also one of the people who chased him all the way.

Zhao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why did Fu Tingfang stay up late at night and come to the Zhongting Village?

Is there something wrong?

Therefore, Zhao Ya did not act rashly, but hid in the distance and waited quietly.

After a long time.

Then he heard Fu Tingfang sighing faintly.

"Come out, I knew you were coming!"

Zhao Ya was shocked.

When did Fu Tingfang become so powerful?

How could she find out that he had been keeping his breath and concentrating all the way?

However, Zhao Ya quickly calmed down and did not move at all.

Sure enough.

At this moment, a man's laughter came from the window of the Zhongting.

"The third lady is really a trustworthy person, and she actually came."

As the voice sounded, a man walked into the Zhongting.

The man was not very old, only about 27 or 28 years old, and he looked very good, but somehow, he always gave people a sense of arrogance and evil.

Especially those eyes, since he came in, he has been looking at Fu Tingfang unscrupulously.

Fu Tingfang's pretty face turned cold, "Guan Lun, why did you ask me to come here late at night?"

The man named Guan Lun laughed, "Miss San, the night is long, don't you feel lonely and can't sleep? I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so I deliberately asked you out to chat."

"How dare you!" Fu Tingfang was so angry that her face turned pale, and she shouted angrily, then raised her hand and pointed at Guan Lun.

"I am the third lady of Qingzhuling, who do you think you are, and you dare to tease me? Aren't you afraid that my brother will know and cut you into pieces?"

Unexpectedly, Guan Lun was not panicked at all, but smiled and said: "Miss San, what you said, even if the head of the village knows, what can it do? You should know that you are not married and I am not married, and the age is just right. Otherwise, let's try it. I promise to make you feel like you are in heaven and you will never leave me again!"

"Shut up!" Fu Tingfang was almost mad.

"You said in the letter you gave me that you had something important to discuss, and that it was related to my brother's breakthrough, so I came here to wait for you. But you said so many obscene words. Are you really bullying me that there is no one in Qingzhuling?"

Guan Lun looked at her with a smile, "Miss San, you are wrong. I also belong to Qingzhuling now, so how can you say that there is no one in Qingzhuling?"

"I am just a young man who admires Miss San. Seeing that Miss San is beautiful, I want to ask for some pleasure. What's wrong with that?"

Fu Tingfang said nothing and turned to leave.

Guan Lun did not stop her, but watched her with a smile on his face, counting softly.

"One, two, three..."

After walking only ten steps, Fu Tingfang suddenly groaned, and then almost fell to the ground, and then she looked at Guan Lun with disbelief.

"You actually drugged me?"

"Hahaha, how can you say that I drugged you? It's just to help with the fun of what's going on later. But you know what, the drug made by those women from the Paradise Sect is quite effective. It'll knock you down in ten steps." Guan Lun said excitedly.

At this time, Fu Tingfang was shaking all over and was about to fall down.

But looking at Guan Lun walking towards her, she gritted her teeth, then stretched out her hand and drew out her sword, and directly crossed her neck.

"If you take another half step forward, I will kill myself on the spot. I don't believe that my brother will spare you after knowing it!"

This trick really worked. Guan Lun stopped and looked at Fu Tingfang with a smile.

"Alas, why are you doing this? You haven't tasted the joy of men and women, so you naturally don't know the mystery. After I take you to taste it, I believe you will never want to die again!"

"Get out!" Fu Tingfang's eyes began to darken. Knowing that it was not good, she became ruthless and was about to take action.

At this moment, Guan Lun suddenly rushed forward, stretched out his hand to knock the sword out of Fu Tingfang's hand, and then hugged her in his arms.

"Hehe, beauty, it's not that easy to die. We have been in the mountain for so long, but we are all a little depressed. Why don't you accompany us tonight!"

As he said this, he smiled and picked up Fu Tingfang who was about to faint, and was about to walk out.

Suddenly, he felt that his eyes were blurred, and his feet staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.

Strange, could it be that the drug of the Paradise Cult was used too much, and he was also affected?

As soon as he had this thought in his mind, he saw a figure appear in front of him.
