King of Assassins

He Chuan's family was rich. Not only were there two rows of arm-thick candles on the table, but there were also oil lamps hanging on the walls. The huge hall was brightly lit.

He Chuan, who died in a miserable state, is quite eye-catching under the light. Together with Sanniang and four other corpses, the hall was filled with the smell of blood, like hell.

Fortunately, He Chuan did not allow others to enter for convenience. There was such a big fuss in the hall, but no one came.

Tao Zhengren in the hall looked at Gao Xuan coldly, his eyes unkind.

The two sisters, Tao Hui and Tao Ying, were dizzy and pale from the smell of blood. On the other hand, the two sisters were very curious about Gao Xuan.

The note in the afternoon was clearly Gao Xuan's warning in advance. Without Gao Xuan's help, their family would have been in dire straits this time.

It's just that Gao Xuan drugged them the day before yesterday, and he was obviously not a good person.

This contradictory feeling makes the sisters at a loss and difficult to judge.

However, I have to say that Gao Xuan was particularly chic and handsome tonight. Especially his star-like eyes are full of charm.

Gao Xuan's demeanor at this moment was extraordinary, completely different from the handsome but wretched man two days ago.

Girls are all emotional. They noticed Gao Xuan's changes and felt Gao Xuan's charm.

Deep down in their hearts, both girls were leaning towards Gao Xuan. This change was so natural that the two girls themselves didn't even know it.

However, Tao Zhengren noticed the expectant look in his daughter's eyes. Obviously, the two daughters tended to believe Gao Xuan.

His children's subtle attitude changes actually affected Tao Zhengren.

After all, thanks to Gao Xuan’s warning this time. Only then would he take the Wudang Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir in advance and be able to withstand the opponent's poison with his body.

If they were not prepared, their family would end up in a disastrous situation this time.

Tao Zhengren was scared even thinking about it, and he was a little more tolerant towards Gao Xuan.

Of course, a veteran like him would not trust Gao Xuan easily.

When he started, he even suspected that this was a cruel trick. He used the deaths of Sanniang and others in exchange for his trust in Gao Xuan.

The rivers and lakes are treacherous,

All kinds of conspiracies are impossible to guard against.

The problem is that He Chuan is the top swordsman in the northwest and a master of the Kongtong Sect. There is absolutely no reason to sacrifice He Chuan's reputation and destiny to fulfill Gao Xuan.

Tao Zhengren pondered for a moment and decided to ask about the situation.

"Who is your master and what sect is he?"

Gao Xuan said frankly: "I was born in Feihua Sect, and I don't have any masters. I just learned a few hidden weapons, poisons and so on."

Tao Zhengren's expression changed: "Feihuamen of the next five gates?"

Feihuamen is notorious in the world and hated by everyone. Even the masters of the underworld, most of them look down on Feihuamen.

"Exactly."

Gao Xuan was very calm: "I am in darkness, but my heart is toward the light. The day before yesterday, I was taught a lesson by two female heroes, and I suddenly realized that I want to be a good person who behaves righteously. I want to be a chivalrous and righteous person. It’s totally unfair.”

Gao Xuan talked eloquently, with an impassioned tone and a sincere attitude.

Tao Zhengren naturally didn't believe this, but Gao Xuan's upright and free demeanor was very charming, and he admired it quite a lot.

Besides, Gao Xuan saved him after all. No matter what he said, he had no reason to attack Gao Xuan.

Tao Zhengren said: "No matter what, you saved our family. I, Tao Zhengren, have been in the world for decades and have clear grievances. I will definitely repay this great kindness."

He asked Gao Xuan: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Gao Xuan smiled casually: "Master Tao, I have nothing to ask for when I help you. He Chuan and Sanniang are on the evil side and have committed serious crimes. I only hope that Master Tao can uphold justice, rescue the abducted women, and make proper arrangements..."

Gao Xuanyi cupped his hand and said: "Master Tao, the mountains are high and the road is far. See you in the world."

After saying that, Gao Xuan walked out of the hall and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Tao Zhengren pondered for a moment and sheathed his sword. He said to his two daughters: "This man's mind is deep and unpredictable. You must be careful when meeting you in the future."

Tao Ying and Tao Hui didn't agree with it in their hearts, but they nodded in appearance.

Tao Hui was a little worried and said, "Father, how should we deal with things here?"

Qinglin City is an important place in the northwest, only a few hundred miles away from Kongtong Mountain. He Chuan was killed, what should the Kongtong faction do if they want to take revenge?

"It doesn't matter. We Wudang Sect have three respects wherever we go."

Tao Zhengren was too calm to panic. The Kongtong Sword Sect was a well-known and upright sect. No matter what they did in private, they had to abide by the rules on the surface.

Tao Zhengren came out of the hall with his two daughters and caught two disciples of the sword hall.

After some questioning, the situation was finally clarified.

Tao Zhengren led his men to the Zhenwu Escort Bureau and killed Qin Zhenwu and others on the spot. Dozens of meters of trafficked women and children were found in the cellar behind the escort agency.

Gao Xuan followed Tao Zhengren and sneaked into Sanniang's room while Tao Zhengren was killing people.

Sanniang has been the helmsman of the branch for several years and does bad things all day long, so she should have some wealth. If you don't take this money, you won't get it for free.

If it really fell into the hands of the government, I don’t know who took it.

Gao Xuan didn't say anything about robbing the rich and giving to the poor. He took the money for his own use.

The so-called robbing the rich and giving to the poor is just a way of saying that robbers steal money to hide their shame. If anyone takes it seriously, it is funny.

Robbery itself is a disruption of order, and talking about helping the poor is nonsense.

From ancient times to the present, robbing the rich and giving to the poor has really been just a slogan.

Gao Xuan entered Sanniang's room and opened the wooden cabinet that was as tall as one person. He had been here before. Judging from the layout of the room, only the wooden cabinet could hide something behind it.

Open the wooden cabinet and there is a hidden mezzanine inside. Carefully removing the poisonous needle from the switch, Gao Xuan opened the wooden sandwich.

At the back is a small wooden shelf built into the wall. Mainly just a bag of golden melon seeds. Large pieces of gold like Jin Yuanbao cannot be circulated at all. Small golden melon seeds are easy to carry and can be spent wherever you find them.

There are also some banknotes, about a few thousand taels. These banknotes are from Jinlong Bank and can be exchanged for cash in major cities across the country.

Here is Sanniang's life savings, which is about three to four million in modern currency.

In this era of economic backwardness, this money is a huge sum of money.

There are also some bottles and jars on the shelves, mainly poisons, healing medicines, etc.

These things are not convenient to carry, so Gao Xuan picked two useful ones. Leave it behind and destroy all other poisons.

Gao Xuan found several human skin masks as thin as cicada wings. Disguise modification is a compulsory subject for Feihua Sect. It's just that such a well-made human skin mask is very precious.

The most precious thing on the shelf is probably a Hidden Dragon Sword. This is a soft sword, with the blade folded into a one-foot-long sword box.

Fasten it to your arm with a lock, and when you use it, you will activate your internal force, and the blade and hilt will pop out directly from the sword case.

The blade of the sword is three and a half feet long. The blade is as bright as a mirror and extremely sharp. The sword blade coming out of the box is straight and hard, but the sword body is very tough and can be forced into the sword box.

Gao Xuan was also a little surprised. It was a bit unreasonable to have such a smelting technology in ancient times. Maybe some special metal was used.

Sanniang is not good at using swords, so she has no choice but to hide this magic sword. Thanks to this man's selfishness, He Chuan would not be able to use this divine sword.

There was also a secret book on the shelf. Gao Xuan took it over and took a look. It turned out to be the Pure Yang Promise Sutra.

This is clearly Wudang's top-notch authentic internal strength and mental method. It should have the same origin as this soft sword.

Otherwise, how could Sanniang have obtained such precious swords and secret books at her level?

Time was urgent, so Gao Xuan turned over the book and put away the secret book and sword. Turned around and left the room.

After a while, I saw Tao Zhengren running over with his two daughters. The old Jianghu also noticed that Sanniang’s treasures had been looted, but he didn’t say anything.

He also guessed that it must be Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan actually didn't go far, he was staying in a private house not far from the escort office. He was a little curious about how the hero Tao Zhengren was going to save people.

If the other party kills someone and then just ignores it, then he cannot be called a hero.

After more than half an hour, I saw a group of officers and soldiers coming over with torches.

Tao Zhengren chatted for a few words with the leader, and then left the rest to the officers and soldiers.

Including the captive women, they were all taken away by the officers and soldiers.

Looking at Tao Zhengren, Gao Xuan seemed to know the catcher. Sure enough, you still need to have connections to join the world.

The next day, Gao Xuan heard the news that two heroes, Feiyun Sword He Chuan and Jiugong Shenjian Tao Zhengren, had joined forces to break the Feihuamen branch and rescued more than 30 abducted women and children.

Unfortunately, the hero He Chuan was plotted by the thieves and died tragically on the spot.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but praise, it was indeed Lao Jianghu who directly blamed Feihuamen for He Chuan's death.

Even if the Kongtong faction found out the truth, it would be hard for them to seek revenge directly from Tao Zhengren.

After this battle, Tao Zhengren, the Nine Palace Divine Sword, became famous in the northwest.

However, Tao Zhengren did not dare to wait any longer. Taking over Feihuamen's helm is no big deal, but killing He Chuan is a big trouble.

He Chuan's master, Why bother with the Seven Wounds Sword, is famous for his unyielding retribution. This martial arts practitioner has reached the state of transformation and is a great master in the world.

It will be hard to tell when He Bing comes to kill him.

Tao Zhengren arranged the rest and hurried home with others.

It’s a long way from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River.

Tao Zhengren and his party traveled for three days and arrived outside Blackstone City on this day.

After leaving Black Rock City, you enter the southwest area. He also left the Kongtong Sect's sphere of influence.

Tao Zhengren saw Black Rock City from a distance and felt relieved.

At this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. Looking back, he saw a black horse galloping from behind.

The knight on the black horse arrived in front of Tao Zhengren and suddenly pulled the reins. The horse raised its front hooves and spun around in half a circle before suddenly stopping.

The knight said loudly to Tao Zhengren: "Master Tao, we meet again. What a fate."

The knight wore a hat on his head and a fine gauze to protect him from the wind and sand. Can't see clearly either. But just by hearing this clear voice, Tao Zhengren knew that the other party was Gao Xuan.

Tao Zhengren frowned slightly: "What do you want to do by following us?"

Gao Xuan laughed: "Master Tao, I came here to warn you out of kindness."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the willow forest in front of him: "There is a small winery in the willow forest ahead. Why does Seven Injury Sword have a master from Feihua Sect waiting for you there?"

What Gao Xuan said was light and gentle, but it was like thunder in Tao Zhengren's ears.

Tao Zhengren's expression changed slightly: "Is this true?"
